1979 the end of a decade. In the
years that were the seventies, what
did we really remember? In 1970, most
of us were just beginning junior high
school. Life was relatively
uncomplicated. So we grew up with the
seventies and changed with them. The
fads we took part in, the crises we
lived through, the events of the
decade have all shaped our lives in
subtle ways.

1970 began as an extension of the
60's. Richard M. Nixon was president,
the war in Vietnam continued and
students demonstrated on college
campuses. In May, President Nixon
made the decision to invade Cambodia.
Protests across the country
culminated in the shooting and
killing of four students on the Kent

State campus on May 18.

In 1971, President Nixon extended
his fight against inflation with the
90 day freeze on wages and prices.
During the summer. Congress passed
the Twenty-sixth Amendment, which
lowered the voting age to eighteen.

In February of 1972, President
Nixon traveled to Communist China
for a seven day visit, thus renewing
relationships that had been broken
for twenty-two years. In the spring,
the Equal Rights Amendment was passed
by Congress and presented to the
states for ratification. Late in the
summer, the Democrats nominated
George McGovern and Nixon was chosen
by the Republicans to represent them
in the presidential election.
In November, Richard Nixon won his

second term in office in a landslide
victory.

The Watergate Trial investigatii
the break-in at the headquarters of
the Democratic National Committee,
began in January of 1973. Also, on
January 23, the Paris Peace Talks
resulted in peace in Vietnam. As the
year progressed, more and more
evidence of the Nixon
Administration's involvement in
Watergate came to light. In July, it
was discovered that Nixon had taped
many of his conversations in the
White House. Scandal spread to the
Vice Presidency when Spiro Agnew,
implicated in bribery and corruption
charges in Maryland, resigned. Nixon
nominated Gerald R. Ford to be the
new Vice President.

1974 the Watergate scandal
continued. Patty Hearst was kidnapped
in February, and in April she
took part in a bank robbery with her
captors, the Symbianese Liberation
Army, Inflation was still increasing,
and there was talk of impeaching the
President. Finally, in mid-August,
Richard Nixon resigned the
presidency, and Gerald R. Ford became
the first U.S. President who had not
been elected as either president or
vice president.

Economic crises 1975: inflation
and unemployment were high and still
rising, and the country had entered
a recession. The Arab nations showed
their economic power as they forced
oil prices up and up. Communists
took over both Cambodia and Vietnam.

Women's rights took a step forward as
liberalized abortion laws were
passed.

In 1976, the United States
celebrated its 200th birthday. The
yearlong celebration culminated on
July 4. In the presidential election,
Georgian Jimmy Carter (Dem.) defeated
Gerald Ford, the Republican
candidate. This was the first year
that women were admitted into the
U.S. Military Academies as students.

In 1977, James E. Carter was
inaugurated as President of the
United States. The winter, one of
the most severe the country had
experienced in many years, was
complicated by a fuel shortage. Bert
Lance, Carter's budget director,
resigned when a scandal was raised

about his questionable banking
practices.

Inflation, the plague of the 70's,
continued in 1978, accompanied by
the devaluation of the dollar on the
world market. Peace in the Middle
East seemed very near after Prime
Minister Menahem Begin of Israel and
President Anwar Sadat of Egypt met
at Camp David with President Carter.
In July, Louise Brown, the first
"test tube baby," was born in
England.

1979, the seventies were coming to
an end. In many ways, the public was
much calmer and subdued. But once
again the people were revolting
this time it was the middle classes
rising against government spending
and taxes. What a difference.

Changes

In the future, the 1970's
will be remembered as the years when
Atlanta became a "Big city."
During these years the "Big Peach"
grew up and out. Construction
increased both downtown and on the
outskirts, with each new building
either taller or more modern
than the last. Highways, for example
1-285, were outgrown almost as soon
as they were completed. Colony Square
and the Omni International were
examples of a trend that went one
step further than the shopping
center. These complexes included
hotels, restaurants, specialty
stores, and business offices. The
newest and most spectacular of
Atlanta's hotels was the
Peachtree Plaza.

Inevitably, all of this
construction resulted in some
destruction. The Fox Theatre was
almost sold to Southern Bell,
so Bell could tear it down and erect
a new building there. But the public
outcry was so great that a
"Save the Fox" campaign was launched,
resulting in a last minute rescue.
Southern Bell proceeded to construct
its office building in a nearby
parking lot.

The coming of MARTA (Metropolitan
Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority)
caused upheaval and inconveniences
all along the construction route.
Here in Decatur,

MARTA brought many problems.
Small businesses near the square
lost customers because of a
lack of parking, and many suffered
from cracked walls and foundations.
MARTA also disrupted residential
areas. An example of this was
Sycamore Street, an older area
revitalized by younger couples and
their families. The entry of MARTA
resulted in the loss
of this neighborhood atmosphere.
Although changes in Atlanta
had both positive and negative
aspects, there was no doubt
that the city grew by leaps and
bounds, becoming more than ever
"the Capital of the South."

Construction sites have been
familiar scenes here at Scott in the
last years and have played an
important role in the modernizing of
campus facilities. A retrospective
glance will provide the Scottie with
insight into how the college has
changed over the past decade.

Between 1975 and 1976, McCain
Library was renovated and remodeled
for greater shelf space and for
convenience of the students. The
three main floors of the building were
totally redone. In 1977, the flagpole
in the Quad was erected to honor Dr.
Henry Robinson, past chairman of
the Mathematics Department. The
school year of 1977-78 was the last
year that cottages were used as
housing for boarding students. The
poor physical condition of the houses
made it more feasible for the college
to tear them down than to repair
them. During the summer after the
1977 session, the tennis courts
received the resurfacing they so badly
needed.

But the biggest undertaking since
the library changes has been the
renovation of Buttrick. At the end of
the 1977-78 session, the faculty had
to move out of the building, on the
understanding that they would return
in September. However during the
course of the summer, difficulties
arose. It was discovered that walls
needed to be moved and ceilings
required special holes. When
preparing a shaft for the new
elevator, the workers drilled into
granite. Therefore, only
administrative offices remained in
Buttrick, professors had offices in the
infirmary, History 305 met in the
basement of Walters, and the
bookstore and the Post office were
relocated permanently to the Lower
Dining Hall.

When the renovations have been
completed, all of Buttrick will be air
conditioned, faculty offices and
classrooms redesigned, and seminar
and viewing rooms constructed. Thus,
the attempt to improve the
atmosphere for learning on campus
will have been carried a step further.

Change

To see how far we have come, first
we must look back to see where we
once stood. The following, taken from
the ASC Handbook of 1969, shows
us just how much we have changed in
ten short years: Agnes Scott College
does not approve the use of alcoholic
beverages by students enrolled in the
college; Agnes Scott students are not
to visit men's living quarters (hotels,
motels, apartments, etc.) individually
or in groups except under
circumstances which, in the
judgement of the Dean of Students,
assure adequate protection to the
students and to the good name of the
college; Areas in which smoking is
not permitted: Buttrick, Dana,
Campbell, Library, Observatory,
Gymnasium, Dining Hall, Infirmary,
Dormitories, and Faculty Offices;
There must be three or more students
to walk together into Decatur after
the afternoon time limit and two or
more to go to P by C or Watson's.
Afternoon time limit, set by Judicial
Council, specified the hour at which
students must be back on campus
unless accompanied by a date or
chaperone. All students are under the
curfew of 11:45 p.m. on weekdays
and 1:00 a.m. on weekend nights
Fall Quarter Freshmen must be
accompanied by chaperones; Sunday
dress is appropriate for the noon meal
in the Dining Hall on Sunday; Sport's
attire is defined as slacks and
bermuda shorts and may not be worn
in the following places: First Buttrick,
Art galleries in Dana, and First
Main, First floor of the Library,
Faculty and Administration offices,
classes, and science and art labs;

from parents may have cars on campus;
Number of social engagements allowed:
Freshmen three a week (no

and four a week Spring Quarter, Juniors
and Seniors unlimited; Everyone
must sign in and out at the Dean of
Student's Office; Campus dates must be
registered in the campus date book in
the Dean of Student's Office; Permission
from parents is needed from all students
for the following social privileges:
riding a motorcycle or other two-
wheeled motorized vehicle, riding in cars
in Atlanta or vicinity, going home or
making out-of-town trips by bus, train,
plane, or car, making trips related to
academic work and sponsored by a
department of the college, making trips
to attend church-sponsored weekend
conferences, participating in water sports
at off-campus recreational areas in and
near Atlanta, driving a car, horseback
riding, attending fraternity houseparties
at Georgia Tech or Emory University;
Invitations are necessary for overnight
absences and must be filed in the Dean
of Student's Office; All phone calls are
limited to five minutes, after which the
operator has the right to ask that the
call be discontinued (all phones at the
time were connected to the Agnes Scott
switchboard); In order to cut a class, an
academic average of a C was necessary.
Whew! This was Agnes Scott in 1969
Could you have survived?

A piece of your Past...

Going to class . . . blind dates . . .
writing papers . . . partying on weekends
. . . looking for mail . . . practical jokes
. . . going to meetings . . . complaining
about too much work . . . popcorn parties
. . . washing clothes . . .

This could be Agnes Scott at any time
from the 1940's up to the present. The
basic style of life here has not changed
much. A group of over 500 girls in their
late teens to early twenties usually tend to
have the same general habits and interests.

So how will the year 1978-79 be
distinguished from others? The attitude of
college students in the late 70's was one of
concern for the future. At Scott, more and
more students were intending to begin a
career or attend graduate school after
graduation. A large number of seniors took
advantage of resume' and interview
workshops sponsored by the Career
Planning Office.

Many students were interested in
becoming and remaining physically fit. The
newest fad was running or jogging. At all
hours of the day and night, Scotties could
be seen circling the basketball court, the
hockey field, or the campus.

Of course, most students were concerned
with more than their health and careers.
After all, who could or would forget the
weekend? TGIF parties expanded onto the
grass in front of the Hub, indicating the
growing popularity of beer parties on
campus. Those who could not wait for
Friday began celebrating as early as
Wednesday or Thursday night with trips to
PJ's or Moe's and Joe's. Saturday night
was the time for disco parties on campus,
the result of a dance craze that topped
even beach music.

Changes

Just a few years ago, Dorm Councils

had become lax and enforced few rules,

there were no men in the dorms, the

Board of Student Activities did little

other than approve beer parties, and not

many people were aware of the Student

Government Committees on campus.

However, the past two years have shown

a change in our student government.

The force compelling this renewed

activity came mainly from the leaders of

the various boards and committees, and

was supported by student interest in

effective government.

Many changes had been coming about

gradually. Representative Council had

worked on various RC's since 1976-77

concerning the alcoholic beverage policy.

Last spring Rep came up with a bill

providing for a special room in each

dorm where students could store and

drink alcoholic beverages. This fall, Rep

gave preliminary approval to an RC that

extended parietals to Saturday

afternoons. Last year the Library

Committee persuaded the Library to

extend its hours from 10:30 to 11:45 pm

each quarter during the

last week of classes.

After spring elections in 1977,

Interdorm and Dorm Councils worked

together to revise penalties and to

encourage enforcement of rules.

Workshops were held to train Dorm

Council members to work effectively

with other students on their halls. At

the same time, the Board of Student

Activities (BSA) was being re-evaluated.

The size was cut down to a core group

which evaluated all the boards on

campus. Their conclusions helped to

define and revitaHze other groups

governing the student body.

n the Future.

"Do you think Scott will ever
go coed?" Although it seemingly
would not effect us, a majority
of the students expressed an
interest and concern for the
future of the college. Most
concluded it was very unlikely
that men would attend Agnes
Scott as full time students.
Then, what changes would the
coming years bring to Agnes
Scott College? Physical changes
will continue to be made. After
the completion of Buttrick, the
next project will probably be the
construction of a new gym and
track on the land behind the
Physical Plant. The old gym will
become a student center.

Out of necessity, the
curriculum will also be adjusted
and updated as some courses
become obsolete and a need for
others arises. However, the
course of study will continue to
be firmly based in the liberal
arts. In other words. Interior
Decorating 101 will not be
among the new classes offered.

As customs and morals
change, the rules governing
student life at Scott will have to
move with the times. Each
student will most likely be given
the freedom to determine her
own social rules and regulations.
The future may include open
dorms and other developments
which would shock graduates of
an earlier, stricter time.

As the cost of a college
education continues to rise,
many changes will be instigated
by students demanding that the
college meet their needs. Even
so, the adaptations will not be
too drastic. One can realistically
expect to return for her thirtieth
year reunion and be able to
point to Main and say, "That's
where I lived my senior year

Basketweaving? At Agnes Scott?
Well, the curriculum had been
updated in the past year or so, but
this course obviously did not fit into
the liberal arts structure. The courses
that had been added either expanded
into new areas of old subject matter,
covered entirely new topics, or
presented old materials on a different
level than had been offered before.
The adjustments were made in an
attempt to meet the changing needs
of the students.

A major addition to the curriculum
was the Preparatory Program for
Business. The program was a
grouping of courses in several
disciplines, which combined would
provide a student with skills and
knowledge helpful in seeking jobs in
businesses. The program did not
constitute a major. Only two new
courses were involved Marketing
and Advanced Composition.

In the spring of 1978, the
Economics and Sociology Department
was divided into two separate
organizations. Also, the Economics
Department purchased a small
computer at the beginning of the year
to use in simulations.

Although many of its changes had
been widely noticed. Economics was
not the only area to offer new
courses. Freshmen and Sophomore
Seminars, intended to acquaint
underclassmen with upper level
seminar classes, were offered this
year in Art, Bible and Religion,
Chemistry, and Music. Many courses
in the Music and the Sociology
departments were redesigned and
renamed. The Classics Department
established a class in classical
archeology, and non-biology majors
could take a basic course in genetics
and evolution. All of these new
offerings made it possible for the
student to broaden her horizons even
further, often in areas unrelated to
her major.

Noteworthy in the Music Depart-
ment is soprano Jean Lemonds, Agnes
Scott's new instructor in voice. Mrs.
Lemonds' musical bacicground is var-
ied; she studied violin at Westminster
Choir College and at the Juilliard
School. At Westminster she was also
required to study voice and thus began
her interest in what is now her field of
expertise. A well-known soloist in the
Atlanta area, Mrs. Lemonds has given
many solo recitals and has performed
with Emory University, the Atlanta
Symphony, the Atlanta Choral Guild,
and the Augusta Symphony. She con-
tinues to teach part-time at Emory Uni-
versity.

In addition to her musical activities,-
Mrs. Lemonds enjoys "playing house"
and baby-sitting her grandchildren, but
she adds, "It takes an awful lot of time
to be a musician!"

Mrs. Lemonds not only finds the in-
tellectual atmosphere at Agnes Scott
challenging but also enjoys lighter ac-
tivities such as Black Cat, Junior Jaunt,
and Blackfriars' productions. She takes
great delight in being a part of the Ag-
nes Scott community and thanks stu-
dents for including her, saying, "You
make me feel like one of you!"

An English professor can consider
herself fully initiated to life at Scott
when the elevators in the library stop
functioning on the very two weekends
that she grades papers and checks foot-

curred to Dr. Anne Warner who recent-
ly joined the English Department at
Agnes Scott College. She teaches Eng-
lish 101 and Advanced Composition.
Dr. Warner received her B.A. and
M.A. degrees at Hollins College then
went on to complete her Ph.D. in Eng-
lish at Emory in 1977. Before getting
her degree, she held various jobs includ-
ing editorial assistant for a business
magazine and copy editor for a four-
man advertising firm. Her husband is a
portfolio manager at the Trust Com-
pany Bank, and they have two daugh-

Dr. Warner finds the students here

strong academic program Agnes Scott

Dr. McNeer's arrival at Agnes Scott

Gus Cochran, Assistant Professor of
Political Science, has not seen too many
changes in his six years at Agnes Scott,
with the exception of more relaxed so-
cial regulations. He notes that the liber-
al arts are thriving, but feels that we are
perhaps too defensive toward career
orientation. Mr. Cochran thinks that
the College has a more open attitude
toward internships; he finds this very
encouraging, for internships are like
labs for political science students. In
comparing today's Agnes Scott stu-
dents to those in years past, Mr. Coch-
ran points out that students today are
less clustered and have a wider range of
abilities. They need, however, to have
more decision-making responsibility. In
addition, faculty members should en-
courage students to get involved in ac-
tivities on and off campus.

Mr. Cochran has a new role this year;
he is a very proud father! Since daugh-
ter Molly keeps odd hours, sleep has
become a rare and precious commodity
for him. In addition to his busy family

The new face in the Bradley Observa-

University of New Hampshire and As-
tronomy at Penn State. His scientific
interests and activities have been var-
ied; he has been involved with the space
program at New Hampshire, thermo-
nuclear research at Boulder, Colorado;
solar flare projects at Penn State, radio
astronomy, plasma physics, and theo-
retical math.

Mr. Hyde is impressed with the intel-
lectual atmosphere at Agnes Scott as
well as with our strong honor system.
He notes a commitment to the institu-
tion on the part of both faculty and
students. In addition, he feels that there
is a strong sense of community at Agnes
Scott, promoted by the closeness
among faculty members and their inter-
est in and dedication to the students
and the college as a whole, rather than
just to their major field. Mr. Hyde finds
the women at Agnes Scott intense stu-
dents who are willing to work.

When not in the classroom, Mr.
Hyde enjoys many of the cultural
events offered at Agnes Scott with his
wife and daughters. In his opinion, the
wide range of events on campus provide
excellent opportunities for a family and
for the community at large.

"Anytime you choose a discipline,
you learn a lot about yourself. Like
mountain climbing, you discover your
abilities to persevere and your motiva-
tions, and you understand your rela-
tionship to other people."

As Donald Young has travelled from
one teaching experience to another, he's
been forming this definition of educa-
tion. Beginning by teaching math and
physics in the Navy, he continued in
this field as he secured his M.A. and
Ph.D. from the University of Virginia.
He then spent three years at the Uni-
versity of South Carolina. Is it strange
to find such a "university" man here at
ASC? No, not since he has "always
dreamed of a liberal arts education and
the opportunity to work closely with his
students." He relishes the intellectually
significant questions that his students
ask and considers ASC his "most re-
warding educational experience."

"If I feel isolated, I'm unhappy." He
describes the campus as being close
knit. As a bachelor originally from Ar-
lington, Virginia, and now separated
from his "spread out" family, he re-
gards teaching as a large part of his life.
In view of the future, he does not want
to see ASC become too career oriented,
but does feel that the faculty and ad-
ministration need to be aware of the
outside world in order to be able to
incorporate the best of that world into
the structure of Agnes Scott.

graduate school, he chose the latter and
received his Ph.D. in Philosophy. Mr.
Parry has taught at Agnes Scott for
twelve years and believes that courses
in Philosophy help students learn to
think independently. As they learn, stu-
dents should strive for intellectual pos-
session of themselves. Dedicated to the
liberal arts, Mr. Parry thinks that liber-
al learning and careers can go hand in
hand. He is very much in favor of the
idea of pre-professional committees to
provide direction for studerlts interest-

that current students are bright, dili-

passive and lacking in self direction.

Having grown up in Atlanta, Mr.

At the close of a decade two emo-
tions exist, an awe for the swift passage
of time and a hope for the new decade.
For President Perry, this period in-
cludes the dual responsibility of evalu-
ating the past and preparing for the
future.

In response to the violent and confus-
ing age of the sixties, the seventies were
generally apathetic or, at least, intro-
verted. However, President Perry feels
that Agnes Scott escaped the extremes
of the age. Specifically, as outlined by
the President in his Annual Report, the
college has viewed academic, physical,
economical, and social changes during
his five complete years at Agnes Scott.
The faculty has been awarded more
fringe benefits, and the administration
has been reorganized. Born in the sev-
enties, the Return to College program
has increased each year. Career-mind-
ed students can now apply themselves
to the business preparation course, and
Financial Aid provides over seventy
percent of the student body with aid.
Air conditioning blesses the fortunate
dorm, Winship, as well as the audito-
riums of Presser, and the renovation of
the library met with enthusiastic ap-
proval of the students. Being modern
women, the students of Agnes Scott
have altered their life styles with the
privileges of parietals and a more liber-
al drinking policy. In short, the years
have been a steady, progressive transi-
tion from the sixties to the future eight-
ies.

To President Perry, "It's almost a
cliche' to say that the eighties will be
tough." The population of eighteen
year olds will be smaller. As the col-
lege-age person chooses a school, she
tends to be drawn toward highly tech-
nological institutions with career assur-
ances. Still, the President remains opti-
mistic, but aware of the difficulties and
problems. At the same time, Agnes
Scott finds strength in its past as a lib-
eral arts college, a tradition that has
survived over two hundred years and, in
the President's words, has "shown itself
to be a tough and hardy breed."

HEY
CHUCK!

The end of Freshmen Orientation . .
almost the middle of fall quarter . . .
the best weekend of the year . . . No
matter how one chose to look at it,
Black Cat was, as it always seems to
be, a highlight of each Scottie's
year. Though very different from the
Black Cat days of 50 years ago, Black

Cat 1978 generated that ageless
feeling of excitement and unity
throughout the Agnes Scott community

Black Cat, sponsored by Mortar
Board, officially began on Thursday
night with the traditional bonfire.
Unofficially, however, the Black Cat
spirit has been growing for weeks.

50

Limelight

Singing in the dining hall "We love
yfou Seniors . . . ," water balloons,
lewspapered doors, and shoes lined up
"rom Presser to Buttrick were some
ndication that Black Cat was just
iround the corner. The Freshmen class
af '82 had chosen their mascot and
Jwith some help from their sister

class of Keystone Cops), were trying to
keep it a secret. Meanwhile, the
sophomore Yellow Pages, aided by their
sister Jiminy Crickets, attempted to
discover the new freshmen mascot.

The bonfire was a time of reckoning
for everyone. Each class tried to
outshout the other in hopes of winning

the Spirit Award. Next was the Song
Competition as each class sang their
Sister Class Song around the "roaring"
bonfire. And finally, the Sophomores
successfully guessed the new freshmen
mascot. "Yes Chuck, the mascot for the
the Class of 1982 is Peppermint
Patty!"

WHAT'S

THE GOOD

WORD?

Friday was a combination of
academia and fun. Though white-faced
felines silently crept from class to class
giving the OK for class dismissal,
most Scotties found themselves
remaining in class listening to
good-natured professors. When 4 p.m.
came around, however, the Black Cat

festivities began again this time on
the hockey field. Each class, adorned
in costume, supported their teams.
After an indecisive hockey match, the
other games began. Crickets and
Cops vied in the egg toss, just as
the Pages and Peppermints
fought in the tug-of-war.

52

Limelight

Seniors and Freshmen alike
ran about with innertubes and everyone
enjoyed the annual pie-eating
contest and the new mystery event.
Following the games, dinner (fried
chicken, of course) and brew were
served in the amphitheater
as students, professors, and friends

sat on the grass and enjoyed
being together.

Friday night, the Black Cat
Production was put on by the Junior
Class. Before the production,
the winners of the competitions
were announced. Taking the
overall Black Kitty Award

was the Sophomore Class. Next,
doing a spoof of "Oklahoma," the
Juniors presented a hilarious parody
of life at ASC called
"Scott's- Your-Homa." Following the
production, a party was held in the
Quad, complete with hot apple cider
and pumpkins.

PEPPERMINT
PATTY!

With the climax of Black Cat over,
many Scotties headed to the dorms for
quick shag and disco lessons before
the Black Cat Dance Saturday night.
Hall fashion shows and magazine
makeovers abounded as everyone tried
to look their best for their
dates. (Alas for those who had not

snatched up a man!).

The dance Saturday night,
sponsored by Social Council,
was held in the Atlanta Hilton.
To the sound of "Staircase,"
Scotties danced in close
quarters to varied music beach,
disco, and bluegrass.

54

Limelight

With hors d'oeuvres and flashbulbs
everywhere, many folks crammed into
hotel rooms rented by 20 couples for
further partying. With no curfew
Saturday night, the Freshmen felt
like freed convicts!

Sunday marked the end of
Black Cat, complete with dead

corsages and Pepto Bismal. At dinner
on Sunday, folk singers played as
Scotties began to look
ahead to the coming weeks of study
and midterms. To most students.
Black Cat was a welcome break in the
quarter. For the Freshmen, Black
Cat marked not only the end of

orientation, but also, the beginning
of being a class together. After being
oriented and reoriented, they now
belonged as a part of Agnes Scott.
To all Scotties, new and old,
Black Cat was a special time of
togetherness and a happy memory for
the future.

I'm sure that many people over the course of their
years at Agnes Scott have wondered why in blue
blazes a nice, innocent, quiet Scottie would want to be
subjected to the less-than-amorous, often ribald, at-
tentions of forty males at a fraternity on a nearby
campus.

To understand, one first had to revise the descrip-
tion of the typical Little Sister. Generally, if a girl was
a Little Sister, she was not necessarily quiet or inno-
cent. It was virtually impossible to be around a crowd
of screaming males and remain naive. If a girl was a
Little Sister, most likely she was outgoing, friendly,
enjoyed partying and could hold her own in drinking
contests with the brothers. Few, if any, girls were
chosen as steadying influence. Most had been chosen
by a fraternity because they showed a true ability to
get along with the brothers, a willingness to work and
help the house, and in addition, presented a good
impression to those entering the fraternity for the first
time.

The girls, in return, received the benefit of male
companionship a valuable commodity seeing as
males were few and far between at Agnes Scott
and a social outlet. Granted, some girls might get into
the fraternity scene in order to gain a name or reputa-
tion for themselves, but few lasted at a fraternity
unless they could truly get along and relate with the
brothers. In the long run, then, those girls at Agnes
Scott who associated with fraternities at Georgia
Tech and Emory including Lambda Chi, Figi, Del-
ta Tau Delta, Sigma Nu, Sigma Chi, Alpha Epsilon
Pi, Sigma Epsilon, Alpha Theta Omega, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, and Phi Kappa Tau strengthened our ties
with our neighboring schools, as well as gained a
source of personal amusement and activity.

Perhaps it would seem that by virtue
of Agnes Scott's situation as a small,
private women's liberal arts college,
the school would have only attracted a
certain type of student. If so, she
would have been born and raised in the
South, she would speak with a magnolia
blossom accent, and she would empathize
strongly with Scarlett O'Hara in Gone
With The Wind.

However, just as Agnes Scott did not
represent merely the southeastern United
States in its student body structure,
it also was not limited in its world-
wide student culture. By the 1978-79
school year, Agnes Scott had become
"home" to more than twenty foreign stu-
dents, a large number considering the
size of the student body. This group
was composed of a smattering of cultures
from all around the world. As usual,
there were the foreign language hall
assistants in French and German. The
Rotary Clubs sponsored four students for
a year apiece from such diverse places
as Norway, Germany, and South Africa.
South and Central America also had their
share of representatives as students
from Panama, Venezuela, and Brazil came
for four years at Agnes Scott.

And, of course, Asia was well repre-
sented. With one student from Ceylon
and a dozen or more Malaysians, one was
surrounded by Eastern culture. But, no
matter where these girls were from,
their presence added a new dimension to
Agnes Scott socially, culturally, as
well as educationally.

They were here, there, everywhere! In the li-
brary, on the athletic field, in the labs, in the
Hub, . . . they were the Return to College Stu-
dents (RTC's) 55 strong and growing in more
ways than you could imagine. They came in all
sizes and shapes. Some were young, not much
older than the traditional students, and some
were only young at heart. Their interests varied
as much as their descriptions. Chrissy was an
English major. Angle did an independent study
in psychology. Jo and Lilian spent most of their
time in Danr, and if you looked downstairs you
would find Gloria, turning a mean potters wheex.
Nina was hoping to be accepted to medical
school next year. Patsy studied math and mar-
keting, and some like Gail, wish they knew what
they might be when they grew up! It wasn't easy.
Ask Beth what it was like to hold down a job and
carry 16 hours. Have Joan tell you what she did
when four kids were down with the flu and it was
exam week. Ask Harriet and Carol how it felt to
go back after 30 years away from the books.
Scary? You bet! Do not let anyone tell you they
did not operate in the real world! They may not
have had parents to answer to, but they had
someone even tougher, themselves. They were
among the first to ask questions in class, among
the first to volunteer a helping hand. They cried
sometimes, and laughed more often, especially
at themselves. They were caring, sharing, and
perhaps most of all, proud and happy to be part
of Agnes Scott.

Key aspects of the Independent Study program were its
opportunities for exploration, creativity, and growth. An
independent gave the student an opportunity for explora-
tion through thorough research and carefully controlled
experiments. The Independent Study program also allowed
a student to be creative in choosing a topic, in finding a
unique approach, and in developing a project or paper. The
course of study was independent and unstructured, allowing
a student to create her own course of study. Topics were as
varied as the people who chose them and included subjects
such as the concept of innocence in Faulkner's novels, the
government of the Phillippines, music in the works of Alex-
ander Pope, or tumors in plants. Student displayed creativ-
ity in developing a unique approach to their subjects. They
met the challenge of finding something new and exciting to
say. At the end of her study a student produced a project or
paper connected with her research. This project stood by
itself as a creative work, something of which the student
could be proud. The Independent Study program was final-
ly a program which furthered academic and intellectual
growth. Through independent work a student developed her
research skills, both academic and scientific. In writing her
final paper she became more adept at presenting her ideas
logically and clearly. Working on her own outside of the
structured classroom setting required that a student devel-
op self-discipline. Independent study also allowed a student
to develop a working relationship with a professor who
served as her advisor. Both students and professors found
this aspect of the program exciting and stimulating, as they
exchanged ideas and worked together as colleagues. Final-
ly, an Independent Study enabled the liberal arts student to
acquire a deep knowledge of her chosen topic. She became
an expert on her subject. More importantly, she made a
contribution to scholarship in her chosen field. Each stu-
dent who completed the program of Independent Study
could take pride in her project and in her growth as a
scholar and an individual.

Another type of special program available to Juniors and
Seniors was the internship. This program allowed a student
to further her knowledge in a certain area, and to apply the
knowledge she had gained to a job situation. The Legisla-
tive Internship during winter quarter was one type of pro-
gram offered. Two students, majoring either in History or
Political Science, were selected to work closely with certain
members of the Georgia Assembly. Many students were
able to design their own internship with a professor's ap-
proval.

The main objective of Agnes Scott College is to
provide for the education of women in the disciplines
of the liberal arts. To accomplish this goal, Agnes
Scott had to rely on support from many different
offices and departments. The contributions made by
offices such as the Dean of Faculty, Dean of Students,
and the various academic departments were easily
recognized and appreciated. However, many other
offices involved in the line of support did not always
receive the attention they merited. One such office
was that of Security. The Security Office saw its job
as providing support for whatever needed to be done
to accomplish the goal of the education of women
here at Scott. Security was able to provide this sup-
port by establishing the atmosphere of a safe environ-
ment in which the student could be expected to
achieve her highest potential for learning and knowl-
edge.

The Security Office strove to make the environ-
ment safe not only from crime, but also from physical
hazards such as fire. The seven full-time members and
the three part-time members of the security force
used visibility as their biggest weapon against crime.
They based their work on the belief that crime was
less likely to occur in areas that people knew were
watched and patrolled. The Security Office viewed
the passage of the new key policy as a step on the
students' part toward promoting a safe environment,
and they would like to see more initiative taken on the
part of the students.

Security was also a vital party of daily life on cam-
pus. Security guards opened doors for those who for-
got keys and escorted students across campus late at
night. They were our resident auto mechanics help-
ing to change tires and start "dead" cars. Security was
with us around the clock serving as helpers and
friends. Indeed, they were a vital part of our support
system of educators.

The Lecture Committee was com-
posed of twelve interested and con-
cerned faculty and students from Agnes
Scott. The Committee's purpose was to
enrich the lives of the students and the
rest of the Scott community through
lectures, music, theatre and any other
related area. Requests for appearances
were taken mainly from the school de-
partments.

During the 1978-79 school year, the
Lecture Committee sponsored, or
helped to sponsor, people from diverse
areas of interest. Eudora Welty ap-
peared on campus once again as a part
of the freshmen orientation program. In
October, Elizabeth Hardwick, noted
journalist and editor of the New York
Review of Books, spoke in Dana. The
Atlanta Chamber Players performed in
early January, and the Guarneri String
Quartet returned in February. Joseph
Campbell, philosopher and mytholo-
gist, spoke in February, as well. Round-
ing out the season. The Acting Com-
pany presented Romeo and Juliet in
April.

Baby, as I hold you in my arms
I feel a chill run down my spine
I've never held a baby before . . .

You don't seem to mind the way I tremble

You seem to understand

But that can't be you've never been where I am

No one has.

'Cause baby, as I hold you in my arms

I hold a miracle!

Child Your mother's never known a man!

No, child, the man by my side,
He's not your dad
But he'll be good to you
He's been so good to me . . .

But baby, your Father's far away

I can't say just where

But I pray you'll be just like Him.

Baby, by the way.

Your name is Jesus.

That's what the angel said to call you

'Cause you will save our people from their sin

I wonder how . . .

Baby, I must admit I'm scared

/ don't know what it all means.

But I hate to think of you suffering!

'Cause ever since I found out you were coming,

I've been reading what your Father wrote about you.

And it breaks my heart to see what you'll endure . . .

And I rejoice

/ rejoice!

Messiah! My Sa vior! Son of God,

and KING of KINGS someday!

Just now, something deep inside started aching.
Just now, I felt that I might cry.
And I know why . . .

In spite of what you are to me,

I'm still your mother
In spite of what you'll mean to all.

You're still my son
And I long to guard you from all pain.
But that would never do.
For just like you,
I live to serve Jehovah!
I am the handmaid of the Lord!

"My soul doth magnify the Lord,

And my spirit has rejoiced

In God, my Savior.

For He has seen my low estate.

And from now on all generations shall call me blessed.

For He that is mighty has done to me GREAT THINGS!

And Holy is His name!

And His mercy is on them that fear Him

from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm,
He has scattered the proud.
He has put down the mighty from their seats
And exalted them of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things.
But the rich, He has sent EMPTY A WA Y!

But He has helped his servant, Israel,

In remembrance of His mercy

As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham,

And to his seed, yes, to his seed forevermore!"

Cods' word alone remains the same

Forever!

Forever!

Throughout all space, minute particles of dust float.
Black, thin but dense, luring but forbidding, the vastness

encompasses all:
Nothing but dust is lighted by no light.
One tiny speck of dust clings to another,

the two of them to still another,

again,

again.

Bang, the Earth exists in this endless nothingless.
As more dust unites, more earths occur.

Dust institutes man with the Earth.

Man gazes outward toward the gloomy space.
He perceives his home as he perceives what isn't.
Man searches for what isn't there: a task with which

he cannot cope.
His parts loosen in his creative body, in his empty soul.
Man unites with the Earth.

The blue-green Earth whirls about, speckled by man, in

search of motives for its whirling.
Dust is blown away in the chase, particles trailing along behind,

more,

more.

Marion T. Clark would have been the last member of this
faculty to have wanted his virtues extolled in public, for he was
a modest and humble man. He would have much preferred
that we be about our business of instilling in students, as well
as in faculty, a devotion to the purposes of Agnes Scott Col-
lege and a genuine love of learning, which characterized his
life. These missions were primary in his professional life as a
chemist and an educator. In some way, however, it gives us
comfort and new direction to remind ourselves of the many
fine qualities which made this man a very special person to all
who knew him.

As a teacher, he was thorough, but realistic in his expecta-
tions; he was demanding, but patient with his students' strug-
gles; he was serious, but jovial in conveying the fun and excite-
ment of chemistry.

Marion Clark was respected and admired by his fellow
faculty members not only for his abilities as a chemist and as a
teacher, but also for his personal traits of wisdom, honesty,
compassion, good humor, and steadfastness in upholding the
principles to which he ascribed. He was open-minded and
judicious, but always adamant about upholding those princi-
ples which he felt were the foundations of a good education
and personal integrity.

Each of us who knew Marion Clark was aware that he was a
loving and caring friend, a devoted husband and father, and a
Christian man whose every action reflected his deep belief in
God. We are grateful for his presence among us and shall
treasure the legacy he has left to us.

in the heights of fourth Campbell, profes-

about their subjects, course work that cov-

a jolt to freshmen. While classes went on

in the stacks of McCain, freezing morn-
ings and icy sidewalks, excitement at get-

The

Experience
Of Black Cat

If Agnes Scott's annual Black Cat
festivities can be said to be for any one
class, then they must surely be for the
freshmen. Halloween's explosion of en-
ergy, intrigue, and fun crowds the
"cocky new girls'" initiation into col-
lege life and establishes them firmly as
part of the student body. Working with
their sister class of Keystone Cops and
behind Peppermint Patty (their new

new mascot), the Class of 1982 gradual-
ly drew its members closer to each oth-
er. By October 20 a day devoted to
pie-eating, egg-throwing, and tug o'
war, the traditional rivalry with the
sophomores had unified Scott's Fresh-
men and made them a force to be reck-
oned with in field day competition. The
tension ended harmoniously, however,
with the Black Cat formal dance where
upper and underclassmen alike cele-
brated fall's excitement.

The Freshmen
Year Challenge

Choices: Shall I go out tonight or finish
calculus? Should I write my term paper on
women in professional or traditional roles?
Will I have time to be a Blackfriar if I
have two labs a week? Dilemmas like these
gripped every student occasionally, but for
inexperienced souls, they seemed to crop
up twice as often and were more difficult
to solve. In their study of schedule-jug-
gling, Scott freshmen could try all-
nighters, osmosis, anything to get their
work done. The challenge was to learn ma-

terial thoroughly and quickly. There
were also social adjustments to be made in
adapting to college life. The exercise of a
new independence and degree of participa-
tion in the campus activities were deci-
sions as important as academic ones. Be-
ing a freshman and a student at Agnes
Scott meant growing intellectually and
emotionally.

Good Sports

Since six quarters of physical education
are required at Agnes Scott, the joys of
being a freshman included refining and
developing her athletic prowess. Though
restricted in the fall to field hockey, dance,
and swimming, freshmen soon branched
out into other areas. They soon undertook
fencing tennis, camping, golf, riding, bas-
ketball, and badminton. The success,

Quarter Blues

Winter Quarter Blues was a disease
which hit every Scottie, but the Sopho-
more Class has devised the best possible
vaccines against the virus. The Class of
1981 ordered class rings; staged Sopho-

Junior Jaunt; visited Tech and Atlanta
frequently and avoided depression in any
way possible. The class officers initiated

Involved And

Lovin' It

On a campus the size of Agnes Scott, it
was a great advantage to have sports and
activities that were available to the stu-
dents. These areas were broad enough to
include something for every taste.

A favorite among the Sophomore Class
seemed to be Dance Group, with a little
over a fourth of the group comprised of
sophomores. Singing appeared to run a
close second to dancing, and a large num-
ber of sophomores participated in the Glee

Club and other musical groups. Other ac-
tivities which appealed to the Class of
1981 were Dolphin Club, the Profile,
hockey and tennis teams, SGA commit-
tees. Language Clubs, and practically ev-
ery other activity on campus. The Yellow
Pages were not an apathetic or lethargic
group.

In addition to activities at Scott, many
sophomores became involved in off-cam-
pus activities and, of course, Georgia
Tech.

You Mean It's
Time To Decide
Already?

What is the average Agnes Scott stu-
dent looking for? Some students come to
Scott with an idea of which direction they
plan to point their studies, but after a year
of the core courses, this direction may ei-
ther be modified or changed altogether.
This spring, it was the Yellow Pages' turn
to make this big decision. A popular major
for many rising juniors turned out to be
the sciences. Biology and Chemistry are
very popular, with Mathematics and Phys-
ics drawing renewed interest. Other popu-
lar majors for the class of 198 1 seem to be,
as always, English, History, Art, French,
and other foreign languages. A small num-
ber are pursuing Economics, Political Sci-
ence, and Music. And, some sophomores

Starting Our
Second Half

When Juniors return in the fall, they
are shocked to find their class radically
reduced in number. In spite of the re-
duction, class officers search for dedi-
cated Juniors to volunteer for commit-
tees. True, there are fewer Juniors, but
the work never decreases over the sum-
mer months. Certainly this year's offi-
cers, Sandy Burson, president; Susan
Dodson, vice-president; and Lisa Bes-
wick, secretary/treasurer; felt the bur-

den of unifying the Junior class, but,
fortunately, they did not fight the battle
alone.

The Advisory Council took over the
responsibilities of class communica-
tions. Inspiring class enthusiasm and
participation in activities was the most
challenging and time consuming task
for the council.

In winter quarter, the Junior class
faced the prospect of organizing an
imaginative charity drive, lovingly
called Junior Jaunt. With the theme of
the roaring 20's, the event took place
January 17-19.

Panic Was Our
Worst Enemy

During Black Cat, Sophomores chased
Freshmen threatening cold showers and
short-sheeted beds in the attempt to dis-
cover the hidden identity of the mascot. In
the midst of all this frantic activity, Sen-
iors reminiscenced about Black Cats gone
by, and Juniors stretched their minds back
to Freshmen year and prepared to recreate
the excitement and confusion of that first
year in the annual Black Cat Production.

Although the comedy amused every
member of the student body, it was specifi-

cally given to the Juniors' sister class as a
welcome home gift.

Production planning began in the spring
with the class voting for the musical
"Oklahoma!" as a musical structure for
the Junior Production. The work contin-
ued during the summer as the Script
Chairman and Lyricist hurried to finish a
smooth and witty musical before the be-
ginning of fall quarter. All that was left to
do was the casting of characters and the
scheduling of numerous practices. The
staff and cast led by Cindy Dantzler, Pro-
duction Director, and Sarah Fairburn, As-
sistant Director, dedicated their spare
time and all of their energy to the opening
night. All the participants complained and
fretted over their work and the lack of
time needed to finish assignments, but
when the curtain was raised on October
20, 1978, no one regretted the hard work
or sacrificed time.

Revolving around the contrasting per-
sonalities of the two main characters of
Mary and Jeannie and their growth into
ASC students, the Production explored
different aspects of ASC life including
blind dates, Freshmen English classes, and
all-nighters. Whether the Production en-
lightened and educated, or simply remind-
ed the different members of the audience
of past experiences, it was agreed by all
that the musical was a memorable success.

By the time a student reaches junior

field. After many erasures, the infa-
mous blue cards are finally filled out on
the top line. It does not matter whether
one's major is the foundation for gra-
duate school, for a career, or simply for
pleasure; in all cases it is an opportunity
to enlighten oneself in a major field.

enough. Working in your
major is even harder."

many members of this class would have
thought that their grades would have
contributed to obtaining the trophy.
However, diligent hours in the library
and late night studying paid off this
year; for the trophy belonged to the
Class of '80.

During this academic year, seven ju-
niors spent their year away from the
campus. Nancy Campbell and Judy
Smith braved Paris after an orientation
program in Tours. Christine Silvio
furthered her interests in languages at
the University of Marburg. Susie Ham
and Melanie Hardy experienced life in
the Scottish countryside as they studied
at St. Andrews. Laramie Larsen stud-
ied medieval and renaissance literature,
Scottish and art history in Aberdeen,
Scotland. Debbie Bolter, a chemistry
major, participated in an internship at
the Center for Disease Control in At-
lanta during fall quarter.

The Tradition
Of Capping

After three years . . . three long,
hard years . . . , the night finally comes
. . . the night which marks the begin-
ning of the end. That night makes it all
worthwhile. To some it might seem a
silly tradition, but capping is a very sig-
nificant ceremony in our academic life.
It is the symbolic beginning of the sen-
ior year. Each senior picks a junior to

"Capping is the big
achievement of the first
three years."

"cap." The capping entails a special
dinner in the dining hall, a secret cere-
mony behind Buttrick and in the little
quad, and usually partying before and
after the ceremony. The next day, the
juniors attend class in caps and gowns.
The old seniors now relinquish their
privileges with mixed emotions.

Investiture:

The Official

Recognition

Of Senior Status

138

Seniors

Dressed in traditional academic gowns
with mortar boards carefully held before
them, the members of the Senior Class pro-
gressed across campus from Rebekah Porch
to Presser Hall on Saturday morning, No-
vember 4. Senior Investiture Weekend had
officially begun. Family and friends joined
this year's seniors to celebrate and to confirm
the senior status of the Class of 1979. After
three years of life at Agnes Scott, this group
of students assumed the dignity of their aca-
demic gowns with the rapidly approaching
end of their years at Scott in sight and the
opportunity for a new beginning just beyond
the horizon.

At an institution embeded in tradition,
what is the relevance of Senior Investiture
today? This service of recognizing and honor-
ing the members of the senior class originated
with the Class of 1908, and the term "Invest-
ing" appeared in 1912. Until the public cere-
mony of the Class of 1913, this event had
remained a private affair held in President
Gaine's office. Saturday and Sunday, No-
vember 4-5, 1978, marked the special week-
end of this year's graduating class. The week-
end offered various events. During the Inves-
titure Service on Saturday in Gaine's Chapel,
the senior class and their guests listened to
Dr. Margaret W. Pepperdene deliver an af-
firmative address on the value of liberal and
humane learning leading to the kind of
knowledge that enables mankind "To Judge,
and Choose and Renounce and . . . Create."
Dean Gary placed the mortar boards on each
senior's head symbolizing the arrival of senior
status. Following the Investiture Service,
Dean Kirkland and Dean Gary entertained
the seniors and their guests with a brunch in
Winship Lobby. A senior exhibit in Rebekah
Reception Room, featuring a display of the
seniors' accomplishments in their majors, ac-
companied President and Mrs. Perry's Conti-
nental breakfast on Sunday morning. After
this breakfast, in the traditional Sunday
church service, the Reverend Richard G.
Hutcheson, Jr. inspired everyone with his
message entitled "Servant Leadership in a
Technological Age."

Each senior accepted the college's honor
with a tinge of sadness as graduation drew
near, but acknowledged an intense excite-
ment with her new beginnings. And as Dr.
Pepperdene reminded the seniors of the true
value of their liberal arts education, she re-
called the philosophy of old Phoenix Jackson:
"It gonna last."

Still Friends

After

Four Years

Friendships at Agnes Scott are close, for
friends become more than acquaintances;
they become a second family. We are with
our friends most of the day taking classes,
studying, eating, meeting and chatting infor-
mally. Friendships provide opportunities for
fun, such as kidnapping an unsuspecting
Scottie for breakfast on her birthday, making
midnight runs to Krispy Kreme or Dunkin'
Donuts, and taking trips to New York or
Florida over spring break. Friends appear in
a time of need; providing rides to the airport,
typing a last minute paper, and sharing tea
and sympathy. In fact, sharing is the key to
friendships, and friends share many things,
from sweaters to perfume, or from late-night
popcorn parties to an evening at the Sympho-
ny. Friends also share double dates, pizzas,
mountain hikes, records, pencils, pictures,
evenings out, books, class notes, jokes, Satur-
day Night Live, movies, shopping trips, all-
nighters, goodies from home, and soap.
Friends provide diversity and a different
point of view. The English major has close
friends majoring in History, Political Sci-
ence, Economics, Biology, French, Theatre,
and Psychology; while the dancer has friends
involved in theatre, sports, Glee Club, Dol-
phin Club, or the Silhouette staff. Having
friends whose interests differ from ours gives
us the opportunity to expand ourselves and to
learn informally about many subjects. Our
friends are precious, and sadly we realize that
soon we will be separated by distance. Yet we
reassure ourselves that ties made at Agnes
Scott will remain strong in years to come, and
our friendships will continue to be shared
experiences-

Where Do We Go
From Here?

The time has finally come. We are sen-
iors and this is our own graduation. What
next? For three years, we've watched the
graduates receive their diplomas. Now it is
our turn where will we go from here? In
late fall, almost all of us were uncertain
about what our post-graduation plans
would be. Here are some estimates: as of
that time, 45 percent of us hoped to find a
job, preferably in the South. A big 40 per-
cent of us planned to go on to do graduate
studies in such varied fields as medicine,
business, law, psychology and biology.
Evidently our studies at Agnes Scott have
made us want to know more! 9 percent of
us wanted to travel some before settling
down. Some hoped to be stewardesses or
just to spend some time in Europe. Some
of us had our eyes on England or Scotland
as a good place to expand the mind. On the
other hand, 5 percent of us already heard
wedding bells in the near future . . . The
remaining 1 percent simply had no idea of
where we would be or what we would be-
come. Whatever the case, may we all pros-
per and be happy in whatever we do.

What Famous
Person Is
Buried In
Grant's Tomb?

For the past few years, Agnes Scott
students and faculty have been trying
to build a strong College Bowl Team.
This year Dr. Jack Nelson, with help
from Dr. and Mrs. Harry Wistrand,
Dr. Michael Brown, Dr. Linda Woods,
and Dr. Arthur Bowling, coached the
team. Most of the students
participating were sophomores. The
students who practiced regularly and
attended competitions were Ila
Burdette, Carol Chapman, Julie Daniel,

Kathy Helgesen, Helen Hill, Lisa
Merrifield, Susan Nicol, and Diane
Shaw.

The teams entered three tournaments
winter quarter: the Early-Bird Charger
Invitational at the University of
Alabama at Huntsville, the Tenth
Annual Southeastern Invitational
College Bowl at Georgia Tech, and the
Region VI ACU-I Tournament at Georgia
Southwestern College in Americus. Dr.
Woods coached the team at the first
two tournaments when Dr. Nelson was
unable to attend. Although the
Agnes Scott team did not place in any
of the tournaments, they did play
well. At Americus, Ila Burdette was
one of five players named by the
coaches to the tournament's All-Star
Team. Only one other undergraduate was
chosen, the other three were graduate
students.

The team planned to play a campus
match against a faculty team. They
spent the spring quarter establishing
the College Bowl as a permanent campus
organization by drawing up a
constitution and a budget. Another f

project involved compiling information
files for use next year. Since only
two members graduate in June, next
year's team will be an experienced one

Steam Rises
Over ASC
Subway System

For the past three years, most
Scotties have been aware of the
construction of MARTA's subway station
in Decatur. In February, as bulldozers
and tractors moved in and began to
dig up the campus in two spots, it
appeared that the Physical Plant had
started work on the "Agnes Scott
Subway." After all, why shouldn't the
school have its own feeder line into
the MARTA system? Logically, the main
boarding area would be in front of
the Dining Hall, with another stop
near Winship and the Health Center.
So the trenches were dug and men
worked in the red clay for several
days. Finally someone decided to ask
Mr. Black, Director of the Physical
Plant, when the subway would open.
"Subway, what subway?" Obviously Mr.

Black knew nothing about this new ^f -
branch of MARTA. Well, what was all
the digging for? Some old steam pipes
had broken and had to be replaced.
Well, even though there would not be ^s
an ASC Subway, at least Scotties were i2*
guaranteed warm rooms for the winter.

Think Sleet!

Monday, February 19, 1979, will be a
day remembered by Scotties as one of
the two times in the history of the
college that classes were cancelled.
On Sunday, students awoke to a sleet
covered campus. Only Mrs. Saunders had
arrived to prepare and serve breakfast.
So for the next day and a half,
Scotties helped out by serving
themselves and cleaning off tables.
Monday at lunch, Dean Kirkland served
fish sticks and "pushed" vegetables
Many students borrowed old trays from
the Dining Hall and headed for the
nearest hill. Even though the city was
at a standstill, the library opened as
scheduled on Sunday and Monday. Sunday
night, freshmen began hoping classes
would be cancelled. Upperclassmen said
no, even when Dean Kirkland called to
say no classes on Monday. Finally
juniors and seniors began to believe
an Agnes Scott miracle had occurred.

Anne Lindsey
Is Ready
When You Are

As many seniors know, getting a job,
especially with an air line, can be
quite complicated. But this year,
Scotties had an edge on getting these
coveted positions because Anne
Lindsey, a personnel officer in charge
of recruiting flight attendants for
Delta Air Lines, lived on the Agnes
Scott campus. Ms. Lindsey, known to
some as Sarah Windham, showed her
concern for prospective employees
by calling them to verify and clarify
information on their applications
before she decided which lucky young
women would wear Delta wings.

The Career Planning Office went out
of its way to help seniors interview
with as many companies as possible.
When Kathleen Mooney, Director of
Career Planning, heard that two
seniors wanted careers with Ronco,
Inc., she arranged for Mr. Walt
Grassner to make a special visit to
the campus. Mr. Grassner was trying to
fill positions in the Department of
Research and Development of Household
and Kitchen Gadgets. At the last
minute an ice storm prevented Mr.
Grassner from arriving for the
interviews. Even though they had
missed their big chances, the students
appreciated Mrs. Mooney's efforts.

things, like fun, friendships, and the great taste of Coca-Cola, remain
the same and always will. That's life. And Coke adds life, year after year.

Rhetorical Questions And Excuses, Or

WHY...?

... go to class? ... do your
homework? Afterall, we are on this
earth for but a short time why
waste these fleeting moments of our
youth in hours of study and tedium
when life awaits us with its many
temptations (sort of reminds one of
Eve in the Garden . . . )?

Perhaps, one might retort, the fact
that Daddy spends boo-coo's of bucks
on his darling daughter to send her to
something other than a finishing
school or vocational ed school (see
pp. 98-99) will phase some. Still
others are genuine lovers of
knowledge. These are the souls who
spend Friday night in the Library
(nice as it is since its renovation, the
Library hardly matches an aisle seat
at "The Rocky Horror Picture
Show"), and/or feel guilty if they do
not devote, say, fourteen of their
sixteen waking hours to Agnes.
(Note: The two unaccounted for
hours are set aside for meals, those
invigorating walks to class, as well as
those other personal necessities, i.e.
dressing, etc.) Not that I do not
respect these diligent individuals in
their struggle for academic solvency
quite the contrary: I admire them.

However . . .

Study, like booze, in too large a
quantity, can torque out your whole
system.

I suggest, on the other hand, a
happy medium a combination of
rational and irrational, work and play,
study and booze ... uh, recreation.
One can still attain quality grades
and go "out with the girls" one
(maybe even two) nights a week. It is
depressing to see a girl of eighteen
(or twenty-two, for that matter) look
lifeless and glassy-eyed from self-
inflicted over-work (now, I know
there are times when teachers inflict
the heavy loads those times can
only be ignored to a certain poirit at
which time the inevitable, notorious
"all-nighter" occurs). However, at
this age, a certain amount of
immaturity is essential ... it gives a
person the roses in her cheeks and
the sparkle in her eyes that
differentiate her from any one of the
books she could find in the Library. I
am not asking for irresponsibility, just
fun within limits, liveliness within
boundaries and a well-rounded
view of life through experience.

. . . become a well-rounded individual?
Experience the challenge of not doing
what you are supposed to be doing at
a particular moment. Granted, there
is a price to pay (no your professors
will not accept bribes not that kind
of price). Rather, it is the price
of maybe thinking up a few excuses.

A word on excuses . . .

Excuses were invented to pacify
people. The word itself carries a
connotation of a hidden design or
a lurking understatement. However,
the excuse, in general, has
a dual nature: not only does it pacify
the listener, but it also soothes the
teller's conscience. Each person has
the satisfaction of having been told,
or of having told, some (hopefully)
rational cause for an unusual
occurance. Now, as to the extent of
belief . . .

Excuses should be reasonable.
Sickness is a reasonable excuse.
Death (your own) is not.

Have the appropriate look about you.
Appearing calm, cool and collected as
you explain that your twenty-three
page term paper was in your eight-
piece-matched-set luggage, and said
luggage went to Paducah, Kentucky,
instead of following you to Atlanta
after your extended weekend, is
certainly going to earn a raised
eyebrow. Look properly harried
especially if it is true (and, I
might remind you, we are on an honor
system here at Agnes Scott). Which
paranthetical comment brings up another
point: fibs, white lies and evasions
of the truth can seldom be hidden for
long. So, you were sick yesterday
of studying. The Infirmary does not
give notes for spring fever.

Also, drinking is no excuse for a
mid-week blow-out of homework.
Most fellow students can empathize
with a sudden desire for the solace
found in a pitcher of beer. However,
beer, as a rule, does not inspire one
to greater heights of understanding
when one finally returns to the books.
All beer does is make the bed look more
inviting, and the homework look more as
if it will keep until tomorrow . . . and
tomorrow . . . and tomorrow . . .

As I wandered through Creative
Loafing the other day, on my way to
the Personals, I was struck by the
sudden realization that the publi-
cation had contents other than those
torrid, questionable requests in the

Forgetting for a time my original
intention of reveling in other
people's debauchery, I flipped
through the paper in an attempt
to discover what information it had
to offer which would rival the
colorful Personal (oh, how personal!)
section. What I found amazed me.
Creative Loafing contained the
names of places, lists of activities,
suggestions of ways to loaf
creatively.

Needless to say, I was amazed
not that a paper should hold such
a wealth of information, but that I
had neither heard of nor taken
advantage of 99% of these suggestions.
Having absorbed some form of
rational thought from my many years
at Scott, my mind jumped (or should
I say "leapt"?) at the inevitable
question ("chasm") before me:

What have I done?

I scratched my head. An idea
struck me (sort of like flying
debris)

I pulled out a piece of paper

to make a list. Sitting at my desk
with pen in hand I waited for my mind
to click into gear.

What have I done?

Once again, I scratched my head.

I fidgetted.

I stretched and yawned. Maybe
this list was not such a good ideal
. . . But no, I was determined.
That restless, unrelenting spirit
that lies hidden deep within each
of us had had its curiosity
aroused.

What have I done?

After watching the minute hand
on my clock lurch forward sporadically
for ten minutes, I took action.
Look, I told myself, approach this
thing logically humm.

Stalemate.

You live outside Atlanta, I
prodded. What would attract someone
to Atlanta? Hmm.

Suddenly, there was a flash in
the night as I recalled my impressions
of "Hot'lanta" immediately preceding,
as well as during my Freshman year
at Scott. Atlanta stretched before
me, a southern goldmine of
entertainment and fun. The city
glowed in the sunlight as silver
buildings reached for the sky, and
ribbons of roads showed the blur of
cars speeding by.

But what was there?

The airport
sight-seeing.

not a place to go

Six Flags. I smiled at the
thought of an amusement park then
shook my head as I realized I had not
been there since the Freshman Orien-

tation trip back in the days when
tickets cost only one arm instead
of two.

The Capital building I
think that is what it is ... that
building on the right as you go
west on 1-20 . . . with the lady on
top . . . gold ... oh, well . . .

Uhm . . . shrines ... to Martin
Luther King , . . well, no, I had
passed that on the Freshmen tour.
(Don't they have a street named after]
him? I never go to that part of
town, though seems to me it should
be somewhere near the Capital . . . )

Braves Stadium oh, excuse me,
I mean Fulton County Stadium I
thought hopefully. But, no, I had
only seen the outside of that.

Now, I had driven down West Pac
Ferry to see the Governor's Mansion
and the ritzy houses. However, as
I recall, I got lost that day and
headed toward Tennessee instead of
Atlanta.

Of course, there are always
museums, but I hardly think that
is what / came to Atlanta for.

I have gone to the Metropolitan
Opera. I have to admit I was shocked]
when I recognized a song in the show|
Nearly fell out of my chair. The
Symphony no, never got there. An
the few plays were class assignments.

What about Stone Mountain? (Wha
about it?) The granite relief I can
do without after five or ten minutes,
but the park is great for a picnic.

And there is Marietta not much ]
there except Cumberland Mall.

Speaking of which . . .

Shopping I have done . . . Atlanta
could live on the money I have spent

ill

on presents, records, clothes and
food. Lenox Square I know backwards
and forwards. Cumberland Mall is
too big. Northlake has some good-
looking salesmen . . . (just checking
out the scenery that is part of
Atlanta, too, y'know). South Dekalb.
North Dekalb. More malls than people
to shop in them.

I never have been to the zoo (yes,
Atlanta has a zoo). Maybe I should
go there and feed the elephants
sometime . . . Never seen the Cyclo-
rama, either (look that up in your
Funk and Wagnall's).

I have been to Chattanooga.
but I guess that has nothing to do
with Atlanta.

Have you seen the Keebler factory
on 1-75 South? Yes, they have elves
in their tree . . .

Central City Park is beautiful
in the early morning I took the
bus to Lenox and did not have a
choice about seeing the park. It is
one of the Coke company's gifts to
Atlanta (along with the "no deposit,
no return" bottle). One half of
Atlanta is owned by Coke. The other
half is owned by Gulf.

Piedmont Park is safe if you are
heterosexual. Nice park, but I
would not want to be gay there.

MARTA construction surrounds us
so I could not avoid it. Looks like
a herd of giant moles are taking
over underground Atlanta. Maybe one
day before I graduate I will get to
ride the subway if the engineers
will stop playing with their new
toys long enough to let on passengers.

I finally got to see the Fox
Theater. Impressive. Too bad I was
in nose-bleed city.

I have driven up Peachtree Street

and seen the hookers and the traffic.
I have been inside Peaches and Oz.
I have gotten a "slice" at Franco's.
I have seen the lines for the "Rocky
Horror Picture Show" I have never
gotten in to see the toast, the rice
or the Scott tissue.

I have never been to a gay bar.

Bars.

That is another story. There are
bars everywhere, even on top of the
Peachtree Plaza Hotel. Impressive.
Drink while Atlanta circles below
you. The Hyatt-Regency has the
Polaris Room. Although not seventy-
some stories off the street level,
the Polaris Room is recognizable as
"that blue thing on top of that
building".

There are still other bars, I am
told. I am not sure where they are.
Of course there are the disco's. I
have only been to one Tingle's.
I did not Tingle. But Flannigan's,
Pogo's and Gerald's are a small drop
in the bucket. They are not
good places to drink anyway
unless it is nickel pitcher night.
(I have my priorities.)

And, as for drinking, it seems
as if we choose the same places
consistently. All the drinking
establishments in this town (even
if I cannot remember them, or even
know that they exist in the first
place) and Scotties still go to
P.J.'s, Moe's, P by C, the Beer Mug,
Pippin's and Spiro's. I plead "habit"
for my lack of drinking establishment
variety.

But, then again, I guess habit has
dictated more than just my drinking
places. What I do not know about
Emory, I know about Tech. I could
probably drive the road over there
while asleep put the car on
automatic pilot. Heaven knows I have

driven back to Scott half-asleep
enough times. I think I would get
lost if I were not slightly out of
it while speeding down Ponce.

I can tell you virtually every
establishment that lines Ponce from
Scott to Tech. I can make it from
Tech to Scott and only stop for three
count 'em, three lights.
I know every pothole in the road. I
could tell you how late "Church's" is
open. MARTA and Southern Bell
construction behind the Fox has been
followed by me because it is "on the
way." Krispy Kreme is a good place
to stop for a midnight snack. Lots
of characters. Watch the wierdos
outside Plaza Drugs.

I have ridden MARTA. Lots of
great people on MARTA a few
wierd ones, but you can find them
anywhere. The nice people I have
met have made the trips worthwhile.
Atlanta is full of nice people
genuine Southern hospitality, I
guess. They are not afraid to talk
to a stranger.

So, I thought, what have I done?

I have seen a little culture.

I have met some nice people.

I have gatored with the best.

And I have partied with the rest.

Maybe in my stay at Scott I have
not taken advantage of all that
Atlanta has to offer me but I am
young. Those things will still be
standing when I finally get around
to seeing them someday, when I am
older and am not pressed by the rush
of fleeting youth. Atlanta still
stretches silver fingers to the sky
in my mind because I know the
potential for activity is here
even if I have not tasted it to its
fullest extent yet.

When All Is Said And Done

Many hours of hard work have elapsed since
last spring when the yearbook was still in the
planning stages and, although, the work on the
yearbook ended two months ago, the purpose of
the 1979 Silhouette lives on. Our goal for the
year was to design a book that would become a
"piece of your past in the future." Years from
now, you will be the judge for you will know if
we reached our goal. For now, I believe we
succeeded.

I wish to express my sincere apreciation to
every staff member whose talents, efforts, and
patience did not go by unnoticed. The contribu-
tions of three staff members merit special rec-
ognition: Kay Kirkland for spending many an
afternoon in the darkroom developing and
printing pictures; Anne Jones for serving as an
efficient Copy Editor, Business Manager, advi-
sor, "administrative assistant," and wonderful
roommate; and Pat Arnzen for her mind-bog-
gling layouts and constant devotion to the
cause.

Special thanks are extended to Dan Troy,
our smiling representative from Josten's; to
Phil Houston for his excellent photography and
unending supply of frat jokes; and, finally, to
my parents and Bill for their continuous en-
couragement throughout the past year.
