((

I don't know.

When it comes down to the line, I guess none
of us know exactly why we came to Scott. Of
course, there are all those qualities that the cata-
logue tells us Scott is good for: a reputable aca-
demic community; a student-faculty ratio of
eight to one; a liberal arts education as a diverse
basis for jobs in an increasingly technological
society; a small intimate campus community
located in a (relatively) peaceful town on the
fringe of Atlanta. We have a reputation of doing
quite well in the world once we leave the sanctu-
ary of the Scott community. And yet, there has
to be more . . .

Realistically, Agnes Scott has a personality.
Exactly what it is, however, depends on to
whom you speak. First impressions mean a lot.
To some, we may be the Southern elite but,
sorry, we are not a finishing school. To others,
we are sheltered, prudish and religion-oriented
not necessarily all of the above or in that order.
Meanwhile, we are also expected to be preppy,
partiers, and snobby. I am sure there are other
impressions as well, just as 1 am sure the faculty
and administration would prefer we were known
for our "academic" personality. But dear old
Agnes is a place to live as well as work, and she
proudly houses five hundred -^irls of varying
shapes, sizes and personalities, all of whom con-
tribute to her particular personality, whatever
hodge-podge that may be. There was something
in that personality that attracted you can you
name it? fel

FEMINISM VISITED AND REVISITED:

Which way to the

y t

Convent?

A hapless generalization at best, all colleges and
universities offer a rather sheltered existence to
their students. After all, an academic atmosphere is
not the "real world," except for a select few. Scott,
however, has had charge of that "weaker" sex for a
long time, and has deemed it her responsibility to
guide her students as the times have dictated. Of-
ten she has been a few steps behind society, but in
recent years the school has moved by leaps and
bounds into a new concept of womanhood. Increas-
ingly, the college has pushed toward leadership by
asserting women's growing interest in the job mar-
ket and by adjusting her academic programs appro-
priately. If Scott students remain somewhat seclud-
ed from the world, it is not so much from limiting
rules of social conduct as from an individual's free
choice. The option is there for virtually any course
a student chooses to follow. Those who are unin-
volved, off campus or on, are so by choice. And, by
and large, that choice seems to be one of uninvolve-
ment with politics and public concerns, not to men-
tion campus organizations. More and more, the stu-
dents are moving toward a sort of voluntary isola-
tionism, whether socially or politically. Those stu-
dents who opt for a purely academic background
cannot be condemned. However, Scott offers more
possibilities for involvement, externally and inter-
nally, than can be acknowledged by present behav-
ior. The walls around Scott still stand, as do a few
of the protective rules that are maintained out of
common sense and need, but they appear more a
mental wall than a physical one. - . \

THE GREAT JUGGLING ACT:

You're damned if

you do

There are two sides to Scott-life. They are
acknowledged in the college catalog, even if the
second is somewhat buried in the midst of aca-
demic enticements. For Scott is a college cam-
pus dedicated to higher learning and yet, she
is also composed of flesh and blood people
and people do not exist on books alone. And if
the academics can be overwhelming, so can At-
lanta and its enticements. For an intricate part of
learning can not be found in books it can only
be experienced. The trick is balancing the two. It
ain't easy.

The lure of an interesting course can keep the
best Scotty buried in the library all quarter, only
to emerge upon exam date to notice the leaves
have fallen and it has been raining. And the
work-load could make the staunchest scholar
shudder at times, especially when a student has
been blessed with three or four professors whose
chief pleasure in life is reading papers late at
night instead of watching Johnny Carson.

On the other hand, one look at Creative Loaf-
ing, and one is bound to hop in the next conve-
nient means of transit and loaf creatively.
Culture, concerts, bars, lights, action all await
the willing in "Hot'lanta". But, mostly, just
about anything will do when you have the
screaming heeby-jeebies and library-itis. The
trick is, once you get stuck in one rut, changing
to another and then maintaining a balance be-
tween. It ain't easy, r^

AS DARWIN SAID

:w T(

A LIBEMAL
EBUCATIIOIM,

SCTT STYLE

So you are in the midst of midterms (but didn't they
start the third weetc of the quarter, and isn't this
the seventh?) and you have three papers due within just
as many days.

Congratulations. You have just discovered the liberal
arts syndrome. Basically the philosophy is that each
professor does his or her own thing and you try to do theirs
all at the same time. The basic symptoms of this dread
disease, besides those listed above, are a sudden kinship
with the books on the fourth stack of the library, talking
in your sleep wherein you blaspheme your (liberal)
education and scare your roommate, staying up to unearthly
hours (that were certainly meant only for partying), a
tendency to eat fast and a lot (even though the dining
hall food has never turned you on before) and recurrent
dreams featuring: a) the librarians; b) great artists
and their works; c) the Krebs Cycle in correct order (but
you couldn't do it if you were awake); d) Moby Dick; e)
Ishmael; f) Shakespearean orations; g) the Terror,
featuring you as chief headman and your profs as the
fated enemies of your college career; h) any of the above;
i) all of the above.

What to do? Buy stock in the Coke company you will
probably drink enough Tab to make thirty rats have cancer.
Then, do your best to grin and bear it the break will be
here soon. S]

STAYIN' ALIVE:

''What! You
mean

there are no
men at this
school?"

.;-=

Sorry girls this is a women's college. What? they didn't
tell you before you signed your life away on the dotted line?
Surely you jest but not to worry. There are escape
routes. May we suggest TGlF's, Tech and Emory, not to men-
tion the wealth of men in Atlanta? There is bound to be some-
one or something out there at least moderately acceptable for
your stay at Scott. It has never stopped anyone before, though
I would not suggest Scott as a source for an M.R.S. degree
the resources are a bit limited in that respect. However, fall
rush parties and TGIF parties offer an excellent way to meet
men with little or no effort. Plus, you have the moral support of
forty or fifty other Scotties who are bound to be around. They
may present a bit of competition, but with a little effort, even
that can be overcome. f,^i

TRADITIONS AND TRIVIA:

BUT THIS ES THE WAY

If Agnes Scott seems to you a stately,
dignified old school where time passes
tranquilly and change comes slowly,
then you should study her history!
Tucked among the faded yearbooks are
memories of an astonishing past. One
can never really know Agnes Scott as
she is until one knows who she was.
Here, then, are a few tidbits of our color-
ful college.

The Decatur Female Seminary

(which later became ASC) was con-
ceived by Rev. Frank H. Gaines almost
immediately after he became pastor of
the Decatur Presbyterian Church. The
first organizational meeting for the new
school was held July 17, 1889, and,
through a remarkable feat of administra-
tion, the school opened its doors less
than three months later, on September
24.

"If you educate a man, you may pro-
duce a good citizen; but, if you educate
a woman, you may train a whole fam-
ily." Such was the philosophy of Rev.
Gaines that led to the Decatur Female
Seminary's devotion to women's educa-
tion.

Six tiundred dollars was to the annu-
al salary of Miss Nannette Hopkins, first
principal. She originally agreed to serve
one year in Decatur; at her death in
1938 she was in her fiftieth year with
the college.

"Mr. Gaines, the Lord has greatly
prospered me in my business and I don't
want to harden my heart," were the
words which prefaced Col. George
Washington Scott's offer of $40,000 to
provide a home for the Agnes Scott In-
stitute. When he had finally acquired
the land and had completely built and
furnished Main Hall, his total gift was
$112,250. At the time it was the largest
individual gift to education ever made in
Georgia.

Agnes Irvine left Ballykeel, County
Down, Ireland when she was 17 years
old to come to America. In Alexandria,
Pennsylvania she married John Scott
and exerted her strong Christian influ-
ence as wife and mother. Col. Scott, her
son, was anxious to have the graduates
of A.S.I, inherit her character; hence,
the name of the college. For years it was
customary to bring freshmen before Ag-
nes Scott's portrait, where they knelt
and swore allegiance to her spirit. Her
spinning wheel still rests in the McCain
Library Archieves.

The Agnes Scott Ideal has become
known as the Magna Carta of the
school. This set of aims, formulated by
Mr. Gaines, as well as a covenant which
the early leaders of the Institute also
signed, pledging their daily prayers for
each other and the school, bears the
signatures of not only the first adminis-
trators, but also of all Agnes Scott's
presidents. The ideal and prayer cov-
enant remain symbols of the present
college's close identification with her
past.

During the life of the Institute, Mon-
day was designated the weekly holiday.
By avoiding Saturday, the administra-
tors hoped to encourage students not to
work on Sunday.

The early students of Agnes Scott
Institute were actually in grammar
school, but the aim of the trustees was
to eventually transform the school into
a college. The transition was not easy:
"The process of discontinuing each
year the lowest grade and adding a high-
er one at the top was very disheartening
to some of the students . . . Some of
them were seniors in the school for four
consecutive years without being able to
graduate. It is small wonder that of the
1663 students who attended Agnes
Scott institute, only 68 ever received
diplomas."

In 1905, the Institute split into Agnes
Scott College and Agnes Scott Acade-
my. The first five degrees were con-
ferred in 1906. The Academy, a prepara-
tory school, was dissolved in 1913.

:%:

mom:

Agnes Scott's myriad annual celebra-
tions have come and gone through the
years. Among those most likely to be
unfamiliar to present students are:

May Day Sponsored by the P.E.
department, a gala production of song
and dance was presented annually in
the May Day dell (now known as the
amphitheatre) from 1914 until as recent-
ly as 1960. In attendance were the sen-
ior May Queen and her court of class
representatives.

Suppressed Desires Day Scream-
ing in the library, addressing professors
by their first names, ringing fire bells in
the dorms, riding the faculty elevator in
Buttrick and keeping lights on all night
were just a few of the privileges $1.00
could buy as part of this Junior Jaunt

project. In a surprising turn-about, one
professor used her pass to give a pop-
test, then promptly tore the papers up
before the class's eyes.

Little Girls' Day On the Friday
before Investiture, seniors traditionally
dressed themselves as young -hildren
and terrorized the campus with water-
pistols. These antics, along with a
chapel the seniors gave, symbolized
their last fling of youth before assuming
their newly exalted positions. Little
Girls' Day was last celebrated in 1962.

February 22 The anniversary of
Col. Scott's birthday is still honored as

Founder's Day, but on that day for
many years no classes were held.

Lor\g Commencement Weekend

The traditional graduation festivities be-
gan on Saturday afternoon with the
Class Day exercises in the May Day
dell. Sophomores in their white dresses
accompanied seniors and carried a huge
chain of daisies and ivy. The chain typi-
cally stretched the length of Inman's
porch and was woven for their sister
class by the sophomores. After the
Class Day program of such announce-
ments as the seniors' last will and testa-
ment and the class prophecy, the daisy
chain was taken to the quad and laid in
an "S"; it remained there the rest of the
day.

Saturday night brought Book Burning
and Junior Capping. This time, juniors
in white met with the seniors in front of
Main. Each robed senior stepped for-
ward in turn with her most detested sub-
ject book or notebook and dropped it
into the bonfire with a short poem as
epitaph. The group then went directly
to the quadrangle, where the juniors
were capped.

On Sunday morning. Baccalaureate
was held, followed by the president's
party that afternoon. The entire celebra-
tion climaxed with graduation on Mon-
day morning.

Weekly Formal Dinner was held ev-
ery Sunday at noon and on Wednesday
nights for years at Scott. By the 'SO's,
students were simply required to wear
"Sunday clothes" but originally "for-
mal" meant long dresses and gloves. At
such meals instruction in social eti-
quette was given.

The only time the sophomores failed
to correctly quess the freshman mascot
during Black Cat was in 1973.

Black Cat as we know it evolved
through a series of stages. Originally the
bonfire was held as a pep rally for the
first hockey game of the year. Fresh-
men choose mascots and secretely
hung door decorations with their sym-
bol outside upperclassmen's rooms.
Eventually sophomores got the notion
of surprising freshmen with a sign pro-
claiming the "secret" which they post-
ed the night of door-decorating. At last
one ambitious group of sophomores de-
cided to announce the freshmen mascot
in a song at the bonfire hence our
present practice.

Special thanks go to Dr. Edward McfHair and
Mollie Merrick for their kind help, and to
Ma Burdette for her patient research.

(more traditions) BLACK CAT

ll\eep an eye cut for

Black Cat again arrived with its
promise of temporary insanity and
momentary respite from fall's hectic
schedule. This year, hazing was not
begun until a week before the bonfire
in order to alleviate unwelcome dis-
turbances to studying. The Freshmen,
led by chairman Anne Luke, however,
began to debate on and to select a
mascot at the usual time, while the
Sophomores, under the adept leader-
ship of Beth Maisano and Susan Glover,
poked and prodded through scads of
green suggestions and decoys. As the
bonfire drew near, excitement was
hard to contain, and thus in hazing
week at least one dorm was subjected
to a waterfight and another was
strewn with shaving creme. To what
degree these scuffles contributed to
discovering the mascot one cannot say,
but their good-natured mutual hazing
was in the spirit of the times. c^-\

those IBcy Scut--

Bonfire night came and with it the
discovery of the new mascot in green
as well as the measure of the
Sophomores' success as sleuths. The
Sophomore class guessed the new
mascots as "Scouts." With a rousing
chorus, the Freshmen conceded that
they were the Boy Scouts, and a new
member was introduced to the Scott
family.

The following afternoon, the field
events took place in the Quad, with
all four classes and the faculty
participating in a wide range of
events. The athletic Junior class took
the trophy in this competition.
Following these events, sister-class
teams clashed in the traditional
hockey game, from which the
Freshman-Junior coalition emerged
victorious. An outdoor picnic followed
in the amphitheatre. /

The Junior presentation of
"Scott's Amusin' " capped off the
day's festivities. The traditional
takeoff on Scott life was set to
the tune of the "Sound of Music" and
featured such memorable characters
as "Clairabel Greenrot," "Mo Mall"
and the Deans Dean Edsel, Dean
Putty, Dean Kirkwater and the
unforgettable Dean Scary. Also, during
the production the Black Kitty award
was presented to the Sophomore class.

Saturday night, as the coup de
grace of Black Cat weekend, Social
Council sponsored the formal dance
held in the Egyptian Ballroom at the
Fabulous Fox Theatre. The dance took
the record for the largest number of
tickets ever sold for a Black Cat
formal. During the weekend, and
during Black Cat as a whole, "a fun
time was had by all." ^

OLD ROOMMATES NEVER DIE

Yoa wer the
sister
I always wanted
to kill

It is highly unlikely that a Scotty will finish up four
years of college without the pleasure, at one time or
another, of living with a roommate. Roommates are
generally good things to have. If you really hit it off,
they can become your best friend, and, in a pinch, your
best enemy. During an emotional crunch, when you
disagree on the room arrangement, each other's
boyfriends, each other's friends, and life in general, she
can be hell to live with. During the good times, she can
be a sounding board, a source of laughter, a shoulder to
cry on, or a profound relief in comparison to the loonies
that surround you on the hall.

Of course, everyone suffers personality conflicts at
times. Some may be too major to ignore, which makes a
week too long to spend in the same room with "that
girl." However, irony of ironies, you may discover that a
couple years later or maybe even a couple weeks

after you move out that she is really not so odious.
You could even get to like her. But living with her just
didn't make it.

Other roommates may have a problem at first that
dissolves with the first heavy discussion, when you
discover she is not the ogre she seemed at first glance.
Heavens she is reasonably compatible. Living with her
may work out after all.

A few roommates can be heaven sent. When your
personalities start blending so that others have difficulty
telling you apart, or when someone suggests that you
cut the umbilical cord because you are always together,
or when even after you both take singles you still go to
each other with problems, you know it is almost a
marriage.

But marriage could not always be so good . . . 1^

weird weather that permeated the
beginning of fall quarter. As
school began, the cool weather of
fall set in weeks early and the
rain struck in earnest. It spoiled
Senior pictures and threatened to
force the Black Cat bonfire
activities into the gym where, needless
to say, there could be no bonfire.
. Finally, it cleared at the
last minute and the bonfire was
held in the amphitheatre. Since
then it's been beautiful, so that

NOR ANY DROP TO DRINK;

With Fridays come tiie end of tlie

school week and the beginning of

weekends and relaxation. A welcome

respite can be found in a break from

classes to join friends in galavanting

around town even if it is only to

"get away" to Lenox Square or a 99C

movie. And of course Social Council's

TGIF parties express the sentiment of

the day with their easily accessible

on-campus "cocktail" parties which

help to ease the tensions of the week.

Somehow, even a busy Saturday

buried in the books seems more

tolerable when a few hours of peace

and relaxation have separated the

week and the work that is due.

At some point in her Agnes Scott career, virtually every
Scotty experiences the late-night study syndrome. This condition
may persist for a week or more, or it may, happily, be necessary
for only one night. With the customary work loads and activities
possible on this campus, however, latenighters or all-nighters are
not uncommon. In fact, around midterms they almost seem to be
a contagious disease passed from person to person. No one has
died from an all-nighter, though. And if it seems you will not last
the night, just drink a Tab or some more coffee, make some
popcorn, and jog up and down the hall once or twice. A cold
shower helps sometimes, but screaming out your window is not
advised. It may relieve your tensions, but it may also scare the
other girls on campus into fearing for their lives. Doing your
laundry helps, as you will find that not too many girls wash
clothes at three in the morning. Anything goes when you have
no options about watching the sun rise over your homework. ijjj

IS A FOUR
LETTER WORD

Virtually every girl who attends
Scott puts on some weight during her
stay here. That is not to imply that
the food is so great but one has to
eat to maintain one's strength. A lot
of diets therefore spring up as an
attempt to lose the "Freshmen 10" (and
just about every other class as well.)
The steps are easy:
Drink Tab like you owned stock in
the Coke Company, and you single-
handedly must maintain the current
price on the stock exchange.
Then try one (or all) of these easy
diets:

Salad: Breakfast is a little barren,
but lunch and dinner are okay. It
will not work if you load up your
plate with enough lettuce to feed
all the starving rabbits in Biafra,
and then top it with cheese, ham
and anything that does not move in
the dining hall.
Ice Cream: The dairy place will love
you, but you will grow to hate ice
cream. Honest.
Vegetables: There are enough of them
served if you like beans fixed
forty-seven different ways.
Protein: If you can find anything
that is not fried, it is actually
a good diet.
Sea food: If you see food, do not
eat it.
But if dieting gets a bit dull and tire-
some, and you have actually grown, out
of exhaustion, not to hate those extra
pounds quite so much, a few words of
consolation are available. As Lord
Byron once wrote of Milton, "A little
heavy, but no less divine." r .1

We could hardly believe we were finally on our
way. The Glee Club spent over a year getting
ready for this trip to England and Russia. We
worried, planned, learned English and Russian
Music, sent out appeals, andj^rganized fund rais-
ing projects.

By the time we reached England the effects of
jetlag were beginning to set in,' but we didn't let
that stop us. During the next three days we gave
two concerts, one at Wandsworth School, where
the kids actually asked for our autographs. The
secon^ was for Oxford Polytechnic. While in
London we had a great time sightseeing, going to
shows, eating at unusual restaurants, and, of
course, visiting real English pubs.

On Friday we flew to Leningrad, where we
were pleased to find it had just recently snowed.
At the airport, we met Irena, our official guide.
Sherri immediately showed her the Russian
translation of her solo which she had painstak-
ingly memorized. Irena looked confused, and
told her she better stick to the English version
unless she wanted to go all over Russia singing
"You smoke up my life ..."

Leningrad is definitely one of the world's most
beautiful cities, with its many rivers and well
preserved 18th century architecture. We visited
the Winter Palace and the Peter-andPaul For-
tress, as well as monuments to the Revolution,
such as the cruiser "Aurora." In addition to
sightseeing, one of our favorite pastimes was
shopping at "Barioska" shops, where tourists
can buy souvenirs with their own currency. We
also spent an evening at the opera.

The Russian people were very friendly and
warm. Unfortunately, we were not that im-
pressed with the food. We'll be talking about
fish, beets, cabbage, and bread for years to
come. We gave one performance in Leningrad at
a school for future music teachers, which went
very well.

On Monday night we took the "Red Arrow"
sleeper train from Leningrad to Moscow. We
occupied our time by trying to learn to drink
vodka like the Russians do straight. Needless
to say, it was a lot of fun, and most of us will
never forget it. (Some of us may never remem-
ber it.)

We arrived in Moscow for more sightseeing,
including a tour of the Kremlin. We had another
performance that evening at a Moscow interna-
tional student club. It went over very well, de-
spite the adverse conditions we had inflicted
upon ourselves the night before. We spent the
next two days touring Moscow, seeing the Exhi-
bition of Economic Achievement, art museums,
Lenin's mausoleum, the Moscow circus, and big-
ger and better Barioska shops. We gave our last
Russian concert at a music conservatory, minus
a few singers who had laryngitis. All in all, our
trip to Russia was a fantastic success.

In two short weeks we gave five concerts,
visited two very different countries, and met
many fascinating people. In retrospect, we all
agree that the experience was well worth the
fund raising, luggage hauling, beets and fish it
took to get there.

The Lecture Committee at Agnes Scott is an organiza-
tion that seel<s to provide students and faculty with a
variety of activities. It is the Committee's aim to bring
interesting and informative events, which students might
otherwise never experience, directly to the campus. The
Committee consists of six faculty: Mrs. Woods, chair-
man, Mr. Barton, Mr. Bicknese, Mrs. Carden, Mr. Martin,
and Miss Zenn, along with six students: Mary Anne Hill,
student chairman, Nancy Brock, Burlette Carter, Becky
Durie, Susan Nichol, and Martha Sheppard.

The Committee sponsored four major events this year.
In the Fall, the Guarneri String Quartet returned to the
campus for the seventh consecutive year to provide a
masterful performance. This was follwed by the Warsaw
Mime Company's dance repertoire and the Atlanta Acad-
emy Theatre's presentation of Harold Pinter's "The Care-
taker" and "Families." Winter quarter brought the Pitts-
burgh Chamber Orchestra for a superb evening of music.

Along with these events. Lecture Committee spon-
sored special programs for the different departments,
such as lecture series, special speakers, and workshops.
Dr. Carl Djerass, Professor of Chemistry, spoke on "Poli-
tics of Birth Control;" Robert Gonzalez Echevarrian
spoke for the Spanish department; Earl Miner for Eng-
lish; Herman Daly for Political Science; Richard J. Ander-
son and David Edwards for Psychology; Neely Bruce for
Music, and James Lawler for French. Each of these
activities was sponsored by Lecture Committee to make
' students more aware of the diverse and interesting areas
of education outside of the classroom.

ADMINISTRATION & STAFF/

On To The Eighties

Goodbye, Seventies. We here at Agnes
Scott are reaching ahead: to the Eighties,
to the future. But how will we build on the
past decade?

To answer this we must first reexamine
the ten years which have gone by. There
was an almost universal student appeal for
relevance: in life, at home, and most impor-
tantly, in schools. Students demanded edu-
cation which would result in practical ap-
plication. But who listened? The schools
did. Academic programs were re-vamped
to avoid "restricting" students to the tradi-
tional liberal arts and classics. Compro-
mises were made and many campuses felt
the need to over-haul everything from
classes to constitutions in order to meet
the students' needs and concerns.

What has been Agnes Scott's response
to these pressures? "We are sympathetic
with such concerns, and we have moved to
meet them," according to President Mar-
vin Perry in his recent President's Report.
"But we have done so without sacrificing
our emphasis on liberal arts and our faith
in their value and usefulness both for living
and for earning a living." Practical pro-
grams, like a strengthened Career Planning
Office have been implimented as the an-
swer to "college versus job" relevance,
and the widespread interest in the continu-
ing of formal education has led to a suc-
cessful "Return To College" program. But
perhaps most importantly Agnes Scott has
never compromised on its Judeo-Christian
heritage. The Honor Code is still relevant
and "speaks" to and through the students.

Dr. Perry sees it this way: "Agnes Scott
has traditionally moved to the beat of a
'different drummer,' rarely responding to
the rhythms of 'trendy' academic band-
wagons or falling into the lockstep of domi-
nant national fads. Rather, we have insist-
ed on adherence to our own stated pur-
poses and principles, sometimes against
the current of strong and seductive fashion
in education."

With a strong foundation behind us, we
now must march ahead into Scott's cen-
tennial decade. What should we expect?
Dr. Perry says, "All projections point to the
1980s as a decade which will sorely try the
survival power of many American colleges
and universities, especially those in the pri-
vate sector." But this unpromising glance
into the future has not dimmed Agnes
Scott's forward thrust. The report made to
the Board of Trustees by the Long-Range
Planning Committee recommends this pro-
gram for consideration:

"1. Attract and retain a select student
body by maintaining a curriculum strong
in traditional liberal arts disciplines and val-
ues yet responsive to the needs of young
women interested in professional and busi-
ness careers.

2. Attract and retain a highly qualified
faculty through competitive compensation
and ongoing opportunities for their profes-
sional growth.

3. Encourage the factors which strength-
en the College's Christian emphasis and
heritage, its Honor System, and its repre-
sentative Student Government.

4. Plan and construct new physical edu
cation and recreational facilities as well as
a new student center and complete the
renovation and improvement of the pre-
sent buildings on campus.

5. Organize and launch a financial drive
which will provide as soon as possible the
$50,000,000 Agnes Scott will need to ac-
complish the above objectives." These rec-
ommendations have been accepted, in
principle, by our Board of Trustees.

We have already begun the decade
which will prove to be a lean one. But
Agnes Scott won't stop on the mere exis-
tence level. Our college will step ahead to
impliment innovations that will continually
set us ahead. In summary. Dr. Perry says,
"Implicit in these recommendations for the
future is the renewed dedication of Agnes
Scott's leadership to the principles which
have guided the College since its founding:
a positive commitment to liberal arts edu-
cation, i.e., to the joys as well as the uses
of learning; and abiding faith in the human
values of our Judeo-Christian heritage; the
maintenance of academic and personal
standards of excellence; concern for the
individual's twofold search for self-fullfill-
ment and service to others. This is the kind
of college which we have been for almost a
century."

This is the kind of college we will contin-
ue to be for the next century . . . Goodbye,
Seventies. We here at Agnes Scott are
reaching ahead. 1^1

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

AVE ATQUE VALE !

I welcome the opportunity to send a grateful greeting to all our students
and an affectionate farewell to the graduating class of 1980.

Few of you will long remember many individual events of the past year.
Like most years, it had its ups and downs, its successes and failures, its joys
and its disappointments. Looking back, the good times and the achievements
seem to me to have outweighed the low spots and the frustrations: the winter
break was well received; grades were up; morale was good; new social policies
went smoothly; Student Government and the Honor System functioned effectively.
Each of you will fill in from her own memories the cherished events of 1979-80.

Agnes Scott, like all human institutions, is chiefly people. And Agnes
Scott's two largest groups of people are our students and our alumnae. Each
June a graduating class moves out into the world and into the alumnae body;
each fall a new group of freshmen joins the student body. In the final
analysis, the measure of an educational institution is the quality of the
people it attracts to itself over the years, puts its mark upon, and sends out
into the world. I have been greatly impressed by the caliber of freshmen we
attract each fall and by the caliber of graduates we send out each June. As
President, my chief concern is to see that we maintain a faculty and staff, an
educational program, and the facilities which will continue to attract young
women of ability and character and to give them here an educational experience
which will prepare them for lives of satisfaction and service.

We of the faculty and staff, we whose associations with Agnes Scott are
usually for more than four swift years, have cherished these past four years
with you who leave us now. We wish you much happiness in the years ahead, and
we shall look forward eagerly to your continuing interest and support, and to
your frequent return. Goodbye and Godspeed!

A Second Chance

Just from looking around the cam-
pus, anyone can see that Agnes Scott
attracts all kinds of people, and 'some of
the most fascinating and enjoyable ones
are the Return to College Students
(RTC's). The Return to College Program
has developed from the combined ef-
forts of many devoted people to offer
women beyond the usual college age of
18-22 the opportunity to resume their
education. The program blossomed in
September, 1974, with a total enroll-
ment of 14 RTC's. Within a year the
number of participants had more than
doubled and now it is stronger than ever
with 55 students. According to Mildred
Petty, Assistant Dean of the College, the
participants in the program are drawn
to Agnes Scott by many of the same

The RTCs like the security
and atmosphere of a small cam-
pus . . .

features that attract the high school stu-
dents. They like the security and atmo-
sphere of a small campus, the quality of
the education, and perhaps most impor-
tant of all, they like the warm welcome
and the feeling fo commitment to their
needs that the college establishes at the
moment of their arrival. The interests of
the RTC's are as varied as their descrip-
tions, due to their assorted needs and
goals. Many of them are wives and
mothers who want to increase their edu-
cation in order to go on to a career, and
some simply want to sharpen their skills
and knowledge in a special area of inter-
est. Whatever the reason for their being
at Agnes Scott, the RTC's are a group of
high achievers and very motivated
women. For many of them, being a stu-
dent is a second job, and their time is
often spread thinly yet the success
of the program is evident in the eyes of
the administration, faculty, students,
and most importantly, in the eyes of the
Return to College students themselves.
Their presence at Agens Scott has en-
riched our college community and we
are as happy as they are to have them
here. ^

Discover The Future

Someday within the next four years we
must all leave the security of Agnes Scott
behind. There will be new challenges to
meet for all of us. Do you know where
you're going? The options are as diverse as
the girls who will take them.

The demands of those who are search-
ing for a job or career, be it temporary or
life-long, are met by the Career Planning
Office. The CPO has had a complete staff
turnover in the past two years. Kathleen
Mooney, Libby Wood, and Lockey Mc-
Donald now compose the team which
works to counsel with and advise interest-
ed students on "what's out there" in any
occupation.

Since Mrs. Mooney, Director of CPO,
arrived two years ago, all the CPO pro-
grams have been improved and expanded.
Brand new this year is a computerized ca-
reer information listing for the state of
Georgia. This computerized program
(C PO) indicates the job market openings,
educational requirements, and salaries of
our geographical region. Workshops and
seminars have been an integral part of
many students' future plans; CPO offers
everything from resume writing to interna-
tional banking to "What's A Race Car Driv-

er Doing In a Newsroom." Alumnae have
also begun to play a large role in the plan-
ning of careers: not only do they give ad-
vice in their field, but they also offer intern,
extern, and shadow programs. Other inno-
vations for the CPO include an expansion
of their library, employment files, recruit-
ing schedule, and weekly newsletter with
information about graduate schools, semi-
nars, and employment.

A "Comprehensive Career Program" is
what the CPO is working toward. For the
Agnes Scott students this would mean a
chance to learn job-finding skills, and an
opportunity to discover their interests,
abilities, and then relate these to a career.
It would also mean the CPO would expand
student's career insight with information
and experience, and provide job referral
and placement. The goal of the Office is to
get more students involved earlier than
their senior year.

The Career Planning Office is gearing us
to the future. With their help we can effec-
tively take our liberal arts education and
apply it to careers, not just jobs. The Ca-
reer Planning Office offers the opportunity
to discover your future . . . it's there for
the asking, y

Soup On Sundays

Have you ever wondered how your
meals are planned and by whom? Mrs.
Saunders, head of the cafeteria for
twelve years, uses this rule of thumb:
soup on Sundays and cold nights, and
hot cereal on cold mornings. For dinner
we are served two vegetables (one low
calorie), two salads, two meat dishes,
two desserts, and hot bread.

Food is delivered during the week
from reputable companies. Staples
come once a week, and perishables ar-
rive on several days during the week.
They have no say on the meat, accord-
ing to Mrs. Saunders, but the poultry
comes on the bird. Cheese, eggs, and

Through the years Mrs.
Saunders has seen many
changes; from the hand-dipped
ice cream being replaced to the
attitudes of the girls. She said in
1968 the girls would steal any-
thing, but the girls now are
much nicer.

poultry come from Good Brothers, milk
from Kraft, and ice cream is delivered
Monday and Thursday from Mayfield.

Not only does Mrs. Saunders have to
plan what to cook, she must also deter-
mine how much. To do this a count of
how many that eat is taken at each
meal. From this she has determined
that most girls leave campus or fast on
the weekends. The normal count is
about 500, while the weekend average
is only 300.

A lot of people are needed to prepare
this large quantity of food and Mrs.
Saunders usually has a full staff. They
begin cooking breakfast at 6:00 a.m.
and lunch at 7:00 a.m. There are three
cooks and a full-time staff of line work-
ers, dish washers, and clean-up crew.
There is little turnover in the staff. They
used to be hired through the Decatur
schools, but now come from the general
area.

With so much care taken you may
wonder how "P by C" got a higher
Board of Health rating than our cafete-

ria. For our score of 90 out of 100, Mrs.
Saunders explains that 4 points were
taken off for the milk spickets being
long than 1", 4 points off because there
are no screens where the employees
eat, and 2 points off because the top of
the oven and under the mixer were
dirty.

Through the years Mrs. Saunders has
seen many changes; from the hand-
dipped ice cream being replaced by the
box to the attitudes of the girls. She said
in 1968 the girls would steal anything,
but the girls now are much nicer. As a
change, however, she would like to see
the dishes and silverware stay in the
cafeteria, and milk should not be taken
out in bottles.

It seems almost traditional here at Ag-
nes Scott to complain about the food.
But for once I imagine the cafeteria staff
would like to hear applause as opposed
to abuse for the hours and care they put
in to keep us well fed. And, being practi-
cal, for less than $2.00 and all-you-can-
eat, we've found a present day bargain!

The Agnes Image

Writing about the Agnes Scott innage
is not an easy tasl<. Who are we? Our
image encompasses all thoughts: from
a finishing school to an academically
strong women's college. The complex-
ity of this range, its truths and untruths,
is quite difficult to describe in black and
white.

Perhaps this complexity of our image
can explain the surge of pride an Agnes
Scott student feels when she speaks
with someone who knows the college
well and all that it stands for. Take Sara
Fountain for example. Just as it is the
students' responsibility to uphold a posi-
tive image of Scott, it is Ms. Fountain's
job to promote it. She must portray
ASC in black and white ... or in color
or in whatever she feels would be appro-
priate for public realtions material of the
college. She, along with Dot Markert
and Andrea Helms, create a major por-

The complexity of our image

that it stands for.

tion of our community representation.

Ms. Helms functions as the News Di-
rector of the Public Relations Office.
She makes certain that Agnes Scott's
major events reach the appropriate me-
dia: either tv, ragio, newspapers, or
magazines. She saturates the Metro-At-
lanta area with news of our campus ac-
tivities.

Dot Markert is concerned with the
day-to-day living of the campus. She co-
ordinates events on the campus with
the Dean of Students and includes all
the information for us in our weekly
newsletter.

Sara Fountain came to Agnes Scott
after working in the Atlanta area in sev-
eral advertising agencies. Her merit as a
Public Relations Director is obvious in
her beautifully designed brochures,
pamphlets, and reports on the College.

We are lucky to have the skills of Ms.
Fountain, Ms. Market, and Ms. Helms,

along with such freelance talent as
Marta Foutz, in the department. As a
team they have put us ahead of all other
women's colleges in the nation by
sweeping eight awards at the National
Convention of CASE (Council on Ad-
vancement and Support of Education).
Agnes Scott received recognition in the
following categories:

1. Direct mail for program support

2. Direct mail for student recruitment

3. Publications Program improvement

4. Publications: events publications

5. Student recruitment brochures

6. Visual design: letterhead

7. Advertising design

8. Calendars

How does the department know what
our image is: what should they capita-
lize on and what should they disclaim
because of untruth? A marketing firm
has given them their answers. The gen-
eral public over the age of 21, high
school students with certain PSAT
scores, and high school guidance coun-
selors were questioned to ascertain their
impression of our school. The areas of
survey were the Southern cities of Char-
lotte, Jacksonville, Richmond, Roa-
noke, Greenville/ Spartanburg, and At-
lanta. From this demographic survey,
the PR department can judge better
what information to include in the col-

lege catalog, student recruitment publi-
cations and other promotional material.
They have found that, according to the
national statistics from the American
Council on Education, 3% of the high
school women surveyed wanted a wom-
en's college because it is a women's
college. Therefore the department must
place emphasis on other motivations,
academics and good location.

Just as it is the students' re-
sponsibility to uphold a positive
image of Scott, it is Ms. Foun-
tain's Job to promote it.

Why did you come here? If you are
among the 97% of us who did not come
because it's all girls, perhaps you came
because you liked what you saw in any
one of the multitude of ASC mailings
which you received as a prospective
... or perhaps you were impressed by
the over-all image of the college. What-
ever first sparked your interest in the
college can almost certainly be traced
back to the Public Relations Office.

Upholding Standards

As competition for qualified students
increases, our Office of Admissions is
continually seeking new angles, as-
pects, and motives to attract students
who can meet Agnes Scott's require-
ments. Director Judy Tindel and her
staff work as a team to travel and re-
cruit students for admission without
compromising on the college's stan-
dards.

According to Mrs. Tindel, the 1979-
1980 year got off to a good start. The
additions which have highlighted the
year include new staffer Denise McFall,
a successful "Oktoberquest," and the
Honor's Scholars Program. Denise
McFall joined the Agnes Scott staff
after working in Emory's Admissions
Office. She is the first minority staff

According to Mrs. Tindel, the
students of Agnes Scott are
"ambassadors" of the College;
we know the College the pros
and cons and we speak of our
impressions candidly to others.

member and has brought expertise to
the Admissions staff in minority coun-
seling. Mrs. McFall was the coordinator
of "Oktoberquest," the prospective stu-
dent weekend at Scott. This year, over
130 students were drawn from all parts
of the country to participate in what
Mrs. Tindel calls "the most effective
means of representing the college."

The new Honor's Scholars Program
will be implemented in September,
1980, in an effort to attract even more
outstanding, all-round students. Out of
the many applicants, 35 finalists will be
chosen to be guests of the college for a
weekend. From these 35, 10 outstand-
ing freshmen will be selected and will be
eligible for scholarships of $2,500 each
year.

Looking toward our new freshmen,
Mrs. Tindel says she is optimistic for a
good class, not only in numbers, but
also in quality. She says, overall, there
is a general seriousness of purpose and
real goal direction in the future class of
1984.

Whether we realize it or not, each one
of us represents Agnes Scott at any giv-

en time, place, or situation. According
to Mrs. Tindel, we are "ambassadors"
of the college; we know the college
the pros and cons and we speak of
our impressions candidly to others. This
can be a great asset to the Admissions
Office, because prospective students of-
ten follow the lead of a student whose
opinion they admire. The Student Ad-
missions Representatives (SAP's) were
inaugurated for this specific purpose.
The girls meet and speak with home-
town prospectives in an informal setting
to answer questions about the college:
anything from social life to academic
difficulty.

Mrs. Tindel and her staff emphasize
diversity in their search for students.
They look for girls with motivation, de-
sire to work hard, leadership potential,
and proven academic ability. They are
consistent in their efforts to make Ag-
nes Scott attractive to different geogra-
phical areas and varied socio-economic
backgrounds. The Admissions Office
works hard to select students which will
be beneficial to a community which
lives together. Vi^

The start of a new decade
almost always calls for revaluation,
but especially for me this year; for
the new decade virtually coincides
with my first decade at Agnes Scott.
I occasionally look back at other jobs
I might have taken late in 1969, and
in difficult moments the grass on
those campuses looks very green.
(Cows have noticed this phenomemon for
years, of course.) But most of the
time I feel nourished here, and I hope
that to some degree I have provided a
bit of intellectual sustenance for my
students and colleagues as well.

My joy begins with my teaching. I'm
the luckiest person in the college,
for 1 spend most of my year with John
Milton and John Donne, Ben Jonson and
George Herbert, and, to a lesser ex-
tent, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Swift,
Wordsworth marvelous company all.
They continue to teach me how to live,
how to grow, how to endure. My joy
persists because you Scotties some-
times get caught up with these grand
companions as well, and in my class.
Then together we peer deep into life
and art and, in Milton's terms, "stand
in admiration." Who could ask for
anything more, on any campus, whatever
the hue of the grass?

"People create the reality they need in or-
der to discover themselves."

Ernest Becker
Denial of Death

ILrf ong before 1 read this statement, 1
developed some general ideas about the
kind of reality 1 wanted to experience. This
reality began to manifest itself over the
years, slowly but inexorably. 1 was eighten
when 1 decided to become an artist and
teach at the college level. Meaning in
life for me was then, and still is, a function
of the creative process in relation to a posi-
tive behavioral framework. 1 have always
approached life with an aura of happiness
and the anticipation of excitement.

Teaching at Agnes Scott College is chal-
lenging and exciting. 1 have had moments
here almost as exciting as the time 1 put a
sailplane into a dive and began a deliberate
spin, looking straight down at the earth
through a quarter inch of plexiglass; or the
time I experienced the adrenalin-flowing ex-
pectation when 1 heard the roar of white
water around each bend while canoeing
down a river for the first time. 1 feel that
excitement now every time 1 walk into the
Art department's new printmaking facility,
one of the finest and best equipped in the
country.

The process of discovery and the excite-
ment of creativity have become a reality
that 1 want to share with my students.
Agnes Scott College has given me the op-
portunity to create the reality that 1 have
always wanted and needed, and 1 am still
discovering new facets of my Psyche.

hobby of mine for many years has
been the breeding of fine poodles, a hobby
which may seem unrelated to my profes-
sion as a historian but is not entirely so.
Dogs, of course, have no history (except
what we ascribe to them); but pure-bred
dogs have a genealogy, a recorded history
that has always fascinated me; I once
helped my father trace our family "tree"
through generations of Americans back to
remote ancestors in Ireland. The fun was in
the search itself, and the satisfaction was
in finding lost records and unraveling con-
fusions of names and generations. And
there is also something very satisfying
about one's own family version of "the
begats."

In breeding minature poodles 1 have, of
course, a scientific interest in their genetic
structure and in the hereditary contribu-
tions of their ancestors. Pedigrees, taken
with other information, can be helpful in
guiding a breeder. But while studying the
pedigree of my dog I began to wonder how
far back 1 might trace his family "tree."
Once again the fun was in the search I
collected and studied many pedigrees, cor-
responded with old-time poodle breeders,
and consulted the oldest records in the
English Kennel Club. I was none too soon
on this, for 1 recently learned that all re-
cords before World War II are now de-
stroyed. 1 may be the last student of canine
antiquities!

I was finally able to trace my dog's pedi-
gree back thirty generations, to the first
poodle registered with the English Kennel
Club in the 1890's. 1 thus learned how the
great English breeders achieved distinctive
type and size by establishing lines of poo-
dles with stable genetic characteristics. I
crowned my work with an elaborate chart
on a huge poster-board that now hangs
beside my desk. It is a daily reminder that
my research is better than my artistry! But
I like looking at the name. Champion Chie-
veley Choufleur, at the top of that chart,
following the names of now-familiar dogs
generation by generation to the name at
the bottom of the chart. Champion Beritas
Ronlyn Rockafella, my own handsome dog
gracefully disposed in the chair beside me.
It is the continuity, from the dim records of
the past to the tangible reality of the pre-
sent, that satisfies my sense of history.

CLASSICS

What was Agnes Scott like thirty
years ago when I was a student? It
was in many ways a far different college
from the one we know today. Academic
discipline was very strict: Saturday
classes, no cuts for freshmen and sopho-
mores, a one day Thanksgiving vacation.
Social regulations were innumerable. Hat
and gloves were required if one went to
downtown Atlanta on the Decatur trolley
(fare 5C). Students were expected to wear
Sunday finery for all public lectures. Girls
serving as ushers at these occasions were
dressed in formal attire. Religious services
were held everyday in the chapel, and a
report of the student's attendance was sent
to parents at the end of each quarter. The
faculty of that period was composed of the
"giants" Miss Leyburn, Mr. Hayes, Miss
Phythian, Mr. Robinson, and many others.
The faculty was enriched my freshman
year by the arrival of the "darling," "cute"
new astronomer, William A. Calder. (The
adjectives are the ones which I heard from
many generations of students. For some
mysterious reason these epithets disap-
peared from the student vocabulary in
1964 when I married the "darling" astrono-
mer.)

Much of the college of the past is gone
now but when I see the light of understand-
ing in the eyes of a student as I explain the
uses of the subjunctive and when I read an
essay that reveals true appreciation of lit-
erature, 1 realize that life at Agnes Scott
illustrates very well the old French adage:
"Plus ca change, plue c'est la meme
chose."

eaching, particularly teaching in a
small liberal arts college for women, is sup-
posed to be a profession which permits a
great deal of time for easy, or leisurely,
reflection. Here, it is often thought, a per-
son will be removed from the common
pace not so! You tend to bring the world
crashing in with you, and the educational
needs which your aspirations reflect are a
constant challenge. The challenge lies prin-
cipally in antipating your post graduate
needs: What can we learn today which will
have importance and value over both the
short and the long run? Answering the
long-run portion of the question is not too
difficult, but you have immediate needs
and these too should be an object of our
concern. Given your growing interest in
starting a career immediately after gradu-
ation, this department has experienced
rapid increases in numbers of majors an in
the demands and expectations of those
majors respecting the offering of manage-
ment-related courses. Putting both theory
and practice together so that you see the-
ory as a guide to practice is not an easy
educational objective, but it is our objec-
tive! It's an objective which pulls long and
short run needs together, but it is also an
objective which will demand and is de-
manding harder work from both student
and teacher. Reflection is an activity need-
ed now, as ever, and yet the pace of life
forces us to be reflective on-the-run. As 1
see it, reflection on-the-run is much the
same as actively applying principles, as
putting theory into practice. To those who
graduate this year, 1 wish you active and
reflective lives confident that our work to-
gether has made a contribution to making
that wish come true. Keep in touch.

he one thing I would most like to be
doing right now is travelling. It doesn't
make any difference where, as long as I
can explore new places or relax and enjoy
favorite haunts. I am blessed to have two
companions, Penny and Alfalfa (my cocker
spaniel), who enjoy this avocation as much
as I do.

Give me a mountain and I want to camp
on it, to be away from people, sitting next
to a gurgling creek, listening to the snap of
the campfire and the soft sounds of the
night. In the daytime we may hike, or I
might spend an hour patiently stalking an
animal with my camera and telephoto lens.
Often my perseverance is rewarded in a
perfect photograph! Also, we enjoy getting
into the car, heading down a dirt road and
seeing spectacular views few have taken
the trouble to find. Sometimes the road
isn't even on the map. We might drive for
an hour before seeing another person, but
the views are spectacular.

I enjoy my profession very much but
getting away from people, phones and city
noise to the mountains is great whether
it's a weekend in the Appalachians or a
month in the Rockies, it is my idea of para-
dise!

What stands out in my early school
days? My schedule. From kinder-
garten through the ninth grade, I went to
public schools in Honolulu from 8 a.m. to 2
p.m., then sat through Chinese language
school classes from 3 to 5 p.m., Mondays
through Fridays. On Saturdays, 8 a.m. to
noon, there were more Chinese school
classes. Schooling in English was fun and
exciting, but learning Chinese was a drag,
especially since the latter was done under
duress from home and school. The Chinese
school principal used a memorable form of
negative reinforcement. At the end of each
semester, five students who ranked at the
bottom of the class would be asked to visit
the principal's office, stick out a hand, and
receive two lashes from a long, narrow
bamboo stick. I learned Chinese the hard
way.

What stands out in my college days at
the University of Hawaii? My schedule. In
my freshman year, R.O.T.C, required at
that time, was at 7:30 a.m. Basketball prac-
tice for the college team took up the time
from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Then off to work as a
waiter in a Waikiki Chinese restaurant
from 6 p.m. to midnight. Fortunately, I
could take cat naps in my classes in Euro-
pean History and in Political Science as
each class had an enrollment of about 500.
However, I had to behave more properly
later when I found myself in a course in
Greek Drama with a Roman Catholic nun
as the only other student in class. Several
months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor,
classes for me resumed in the mornings,
then off to work on the second shift, 2:30
to 11:00 p.m. at the Pearl Harbor navy
yard. Thus, were the school days "filled."

Ya know . . .
It's not easy
bein' green

From the very first mention until the stories told on
the Sunday after the dance, Black Cat is a memorable
time. Before the activities actually begin, most fresh-
men really do not know what to expect, and the pre-
vailing thought seems to be, "My God! What is all this
confusion?"

One freshman said, "If you didn't have Black Cat to
look forward to, coming to Scott would be a drag."
The dance, perhaps the most important part, does not
always turn out to be the magic evening some expect.
"That was one of the worst nights of my life as 1
recall." While another frosh said she thought it was
"wonderful."

Of course, the bonfire sticks out in the minds of
freshmen. One freshmen thought, "It was very sisterly
it kind of brought everyone together, kind of going
back and forth;" but another complained, "I hate
swaying when we sing our class songs."

There is still some feeling of disappointment among
the freshmen as to the controversy over the sopho-
mores guessing "Scouts." As one freshman put it, "I
didn't think it was fair; we were specific and they were
general. But like everyone said, if they didn't guess it,
it would just ruin everything."

One freshman commented that Black Cat "threw
our class together and after the bonfire it drew the
whole school together."

The production was another big part of Black Cat.
"It was a time you could get away with making a fool
of yourself. It offers a good break something to look
forward to."

Some freshmen felt it was difficult to elect Black
Cat officers because they had not had time to get to
know everyone. The pranks were mentioned often. "I
didn't appreciate my drawers being switched." Even
so, most enjoyed the pranks played.

Asked to sum up the week, freshmen gave varied
answers. "It was just a lot of fun. I don't see it as any
big orientation though, and that's what they said it
was." "It was very traditional." "I'd like to participate
more if I had time ..." [Sj

Little Known
Freshman Stats

When the members of the Class of 1983 arrived at A.S.C.
in September, they weren't the only bewildered students on
campus. Old-timers found themselves deluged by the sea of
new faces and the prospect of learning 144 new names!
Though the hoarde of freshmen at last dissolved into indivi-
duals who became friends, statistics on the latest batch of
Scotties remain interesting:

Test results showed the Class of 1983 to be the strongest
academically in several years. On the SAT, their average
combined score was 1067. Average verbal and math scores
were 538 and 529, respectively. On the ACT, freshmen
achieved an average score of 25. Thirty percent ranked in
the top 5% of their high school graduating class, while 51%
were in the top 10%. Six freshmen were valedictorians, and
4 received college-sponsored National Merit Scholarships.

Geographically, only 44% of the group were from Georgia;
a total of 21 states was represented. Other freshmen arrived
in Decatur from Austria, Puerto Rico and even Colombia. 17^')

Whatever happened

to the
*'Good or Days"?

Brunches, receptions, meetings, seminars, parties and dis-
cussions flood fall quarter, exhausting the participants. Classes
only appear difficult, for grades remain unrealized dreams.
Initially life at Scott can be deceptive, until unwelcome reality
strikes! All Tech parties are not fun. Worse yet, all Tech men
are not handsome. Intelligent and interesting. High school A's
become college C's, and extra-curricular involvement eats
away study or party time. Roommate situations are not always
matches made In heaven, and long distance Is a poor substitute
for being there. These realizations create acute freshmen home-
sickness and romanticism for the "good old days" of co-ed
classes and free time. Although the transition Is difficult, it is
not impossible, as the Class of 1983 will testify. True, college
holds disappointments and joys, but both are shared by new
friends, the best available remedy for fall, winter, and even
spring quarter homesickness, '^i

Six Weeks of
Boredom? Never!

Sophomores were on the move during the long six
week Thanksgiving and Christmas break. Nicci Pittman
Ryke and Lee Kite took a jaunt with Constance Shaw to
Spain for four weeks of classes and travel. Maureen
Smyth and her roommate, Margaret Phillips, journeyed to
Maureen's home in Maracaebo, Venezuela and enjoyed fam-
ous tourist spots and sailing. Terry Michael visited
Ft. Lauderdale to go sailing with Greg von Zielinski
and family. Bonnie Brooks, Crystal Ball, Peggy Davis,
Cathy Garrigues, Sonia Gordon, Gretchen Lindsay, Janet
Musser, and Susan Proctor (hope no one's missing) trav-
elled with the Glee Club to Russia and spent six days
in London, three days in Leningrad and three days in
Moscow. Karen Ramsbottom worked at a ski resort in
Keystone, Colorado for six weeks, while Marjory Sive-
wright went skiing in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Traveling
or working, the sophs made the most of their precious
free time! [^

Ain't We
Smart

For the sophomores, the first year of hard work,
trials, and tribulations was rewarding. Perhaps they
weren't quite as unequipped as they had thought to
brave the famed "academic atmosphere" of Agnes Scott,
for this year's Class Scholarship Trophy was proudly
awarded to the class of '82. This trophy, established
by the Mortar Board Chapter of 1956-57, is awarded ann-
ually to the class which, for the past session, has
earned an academic average higher than three preceding
classes at that same level. Reassured by their academic
achievement, the sophomores confronted the Big Spring
Dilemma of finally declaring a major. This was an easy
decision for some but a difficult process of elimination
for others! Luckily, the soph was able to double or to
create her own personalized interdepartmental major;
And, of course, it's never (well, almost!) too late to change.

You've made a good start, sophs; hang in there and
one day you'll get through! [^

Maisano's Musings

Good afternoon. I ... uh ... I would like to . . . uh . . . talk
to you today about a serious condition plaguing the youth of
Agnes Scott community. This condition generally attacks stu-
dents between the ages of 19 and 20, and the recovery rate is a
matter of much debate. The condition, you ask? Quite com-
monly, it is known as "Sophomorism." I would like to illustrate
the vast implications of an affliction such as sophomorism
with a case study of 150 women attending the aforementioned
Agnes Scott College, who attained sophomore status during
the school year 1979-80. Also known as the "Class of 1982,"
these women exhibited what most might call an extreme strain
of the dreaded ailment. The symptoms, you ask? Several.
First, the young women were heard utilizing excessively the
ten-letter word "peppermint." Although much attention has
been given the seemingly nonsensical term, little or no conclu-
sion has been reached as to its translation. Experts have of-
fered what some consider "wild" theories, such as the hypoth-
esis that "peppermint" was used symbolically in reference to
the class as a whole, but the one most favored seems to be that
the term indirectly represents another characteristic of the
women: excessive consumption of food, or "pigging out." An-
other feature exhibited by the Class of 1982 was a wild type of
enthusiasm culminating in what must be held as the ultimate
sanction, a "Black Kitty." It has even been reported that the
women became particularly clandestine for a period of seven
days, during which they donned similar uniforms, sang, yelled,
raided, pillaged, and of course, pigged out. Sophomorism was
described at one point by a noted psychiatrist as a period of
"storm and stress." An accurate term. The sophomores were
constantly faced with intense and often stressful decisions.
Georgia Tech or Emory? Wendy's or Athens Pizza? 8:30 Eng-
lish or continual sleep? Green Izod or pink button-down? To
their intellectual credit, however, the sophomores never be-
came hung up on the trivial, such as declaring a major, or even
less important, planning a major. Why get tied down in the
prime of life? Yet, for all the experiments, observation, case
studies and interviews, the experts have reached only one . . .
yes, uno . . . consistent conclusion: that is, for all the tension,
trial, tribulation; for all the agony of English 211 and the thrill
of a TGIF; for all the 2 a.m. popcorn parties and acute lack of
rest, MOT ONE SOPHOMORE WOULD WANT ANYTHING
DIFFERENTLY. Perhaps this reason can be analyzed sociologi-
cally or psychologically, but I will not take up my valuable time
to do so at this point. 1 will, however, say and recommend that
it would be more than satisfactory to pose succinctly and
accurately the following question: Why be anything less than
the best? Thank you. (^

Scouting
Boy Scouts

Boy Scouts? The search for the honorable mascot led the
Class of 1982 to the depths of every building on campus and
to victory, at last, under the leadership of the illustrious
Beth Maisano, in the winning of the Black Kitty award. Their
sister song, "Blues Sisters" left the campus in stitches over
the wit and charm of the lyrics with the addition of sun-
lasses worn with each performance of the song. Sportsman-
ship characterized this year's sophomore class along with
the doubt over whether they had actually guessed the fresh-
man class mascot. However, despite any conflict, the sopho-
more class reigned in wit and enthusiasm during Black Cat
week. Participation on the part of the class of 1982 was
phenomenal as the campus continually saw red and white
jerseys capped with Peppermint Patty red baseball hats
singing their fight song triumphantly during Honors Day
convocation, field day of Black Cat week, and assembly for
the Black Cat production. Thank you. Peppermint Patty, for
an exciting Black Cat. [^

'*Boy, are we
Enthusiastic!"

This year's junior class was governed by tfiree officers,
Sarah Campbell, Lydia Reasor, and Laura Klettner. Sarah, a
biology major, is an active member of SDT and hopes to
pursue a career in dance therapy. Lydia, a chemistry major,
transferred her sophomore year from William and Mary and
would enjoy working for a lab or corporation in the future. She
is active in both the Dolphin Club and the Hockey Team. Laura
Klettner, of Memphis, Tennessee, is a psychology major who
divides her time among the Dolphin Club, Rep Council and the
Junior Class.

The three officers were concerned with class unity and spirit,
because the decrease in class size after the Sophomore year
often leads to a seemingly nonchalant attitude. Sarah, Lydia
and Laura worked hard to create enthusiasm through class
projects such as the Black Cat Production and Junior Jaunt. In
the fall the entire campus was entertained by the juniors'
production of "Scott's Amusin'." The highlight of winter quar-
ter was Junior Jaunt. Gnder the supervision of Junior Jaunt
chairman Nancy Brock, the campus used "The Wizard of Oz"
and the creative abilities of each class to raise money for a
local charity. [>fP

Six Juniors
Trade Decatur
For Europe

in their third year that time when students at last feel
completely accustomed to life at Agnes Scott a few
adventurous Scotties left Buttrick behind and spent their
junior year abroad. Opportunities for travel, for concentrat-
ed study, for experience in other cultures, and for indepen-
dence were some of the advantages which influenced six
members of the class of 1981 to enroll in fine universities in
Europe.

Jeanne Cole and Diane Shaw spent the year at the Univer-
sity of Exeter in Southern England. Jeanne's studies cen-
tered on history, while Diane worked in the field of medieval
studies. Nancy Nelson concentrated on English at the Uni-
versity of St. Andrews in Scotland. Mary Beth DuBose and
Julie Oliver both enrolled in Sweetbriar College's Junior
Year in France Program and attended universities in Paris.
Terri Wong, through the Smith College Junior Year Abroad
Program, studied German in Hamburg. k^H

Scottie for a Year
Is that sort of like
"Queen for a Day"?

This year we have four special foreign students who are
as diverse as their native countries.

Catharina Bostman, from Vanda, Finland, thinks that stu-
dents here are more interested in activities than European
students are. She feels that in Atlanta, "there's so much to
do, you never get board." After her year at ASC, she will
study for three years in Zurich, Switzerland to become an
interpreter.

Marie-Claire Geradin, from Perpignan, France, is the
French Hall assistant. She describes campus life as "very
pleasant," and states that, "Everyone is different from his
neighbor."

Liz Kennedy, from Brisbane, Australia, notices a national-
ism in the school which she thinks is good. "The only
problem," she observes, "is that a lot of people here just
don't know about other countries."

Gabriele Schropp, the German Hall assistant from INeckar-
sum, W. German, has graduated from the American equiv-
alent of college and intends to attend medical school. She
says she really enjoys Atlanta because her sister lives here
also. ;^

Keep It Under
Your Hat

What is the mysterious and elusive event which, along
with Dean Gary's birthday, is the best kept secret on cam-
pus? As every good junior knows, the event is the traditional
capping ceremony held each spring.

After three long years, the Yellow Pages discovered the
thrill of being dubbed seniors. Though the juniors knew the
date of the ceremony, its content was kept a secret until
that night. Following a special junior-senior dinner in the
dinning hall, the juniors, adorned in white, were capped by
the seniors.

Capping was a special time for both classes. As the
juniors frantically memorized all three verses of "God of the
Marching Centuries," the seniors, with mixed emotions,
helped them learn "We Are Tired Old Seniors" and handed
over their privileges to the Class of 1981. *.

'* Agnes Scott,
Agnes Scott,
You're One H
of a college!"

Black Cat 1979 was, as always, a special event for all the
classes, but for the juniors it began in the spring. The Yellow
Pages selected the musical, "The Sound of Music" as a basis
for the production, "Scott's Amusin'."

Over the summer, Jeni Giles and her committee worked
diligently to capture in their script the excitement and confu-
sion experienced by freshmen their first few weeks at Scott.
Elizabeth Dorsey wrote the musical's lyrics.

Led by Susan Nicol, Production Director, over 75 juniors,
sophomores, seniors, and RTC's dedicated their energy and
time to the show. Assisted by Mary Ebinger, Assistant Direc-
tor, and Carol Gorgus, Musical Director, the production miracu-
lously fell into place, and the curtain went up on October 5,
1979.

Centering on two freshmen, Mary and Theresa, the produc-
tion showed their adjustment to life at ASC. From the trauma
of moving in and new roommates, fraternity parties and blind
dates to the fun of friends and dorm popcorn parties, the
production attempted to present humorously, as well as realis-
tically, life at Scott. Classroom scenes featured Mr. Maul and
Madame Greenrow.

A combination of hard work and time, the production was
the official "welcome" gift to the freshmen from their sister
class. It showed not only the juniors' excitement at having a
new sister class but reflected the memory they will always
have of life at Scott. A

The Truth

About

Agnes Scott

Fall quarter of your senior year is too late to transfer.

Everyone thinks her major is the hardest.

Not everyone owns a Izod.

Not everyone owns khakis.

Not everyone owns topsiders.

But most do.

By fall quarter, you know everyone's steady boyfriends.

By New Year's, 50% of those girls are engaged to same
(and occasionally, different . . .).

The water in the alumnae pond is as dirty as it looks,
but when you're thrown in you don't really care.

The cute guy you meet this weekend is invariably
attached and if he isn't, what's the matter with him?

If it rains for weeks on end, it's bound to be winter
quarter.

TV becomes increasingly interesting as work
accumulates.

Consequently, the movie you always wanted to see
is on the night you have to study for the big test.

The sooner you get behind, the more time you have
to catch up.

Not every member of the senior class really
remembers all of capping.

Senior Investiture was not as solemn as we thought it
would be.

Graduation will make up for that lack.

Our class' grades were great the year we won the
Scholarship Trophy.

It's been downhill since then.

Not every senior knows what she wants to do when
whe graduates.

According to reports, there is life after Agnes Scott.

The English Department can find sexual imagery in
anything, and we've come to expect it.

The trouble is, they've convinced the English majors
that they, too, can find sexual imagery and not be
imagining it.

IL41I1

-,C|11S1

The library can put you to sleep.

It usually does.

The need to do laundry is inversely proportional to how
many pairs of clean underwear you have.

The amount a person is likely to drink (or eat) at

a given point in time is often directly proportional to how
much work is due.

There is never enough time to study.

There is always plenty of time to party.

Little study plus lots of party equals minor nervous
disorders before exams, papers, and after meals.

But meals can cause minor stomach disorders even
without school stress.

The times we'll remember best are not the hours spent
studying, but the hours spent with each other.

The Cookie Monster

Editor's note: In January 1980, the Profile ran an article
written by Cookie Hooper which was directed at exposing
an omnipresent undercurrent of conflict between RTC's
and the boarding students. She used the parking situation,
which the RTC's and day students were trying to recon-
struct, as the springboard of her argument for such misun-
derstanding. As was pointed out in a subsequent edition.
Cookie had cleverly exposed a problem by employing ex-
aggeration to present the errors of judgment on both sides
of the fence. However, opinions expressed by others, both
in the Profile and on campus, showed that not a few people
found the article bombastic, illogical and emotional, rather
than rational and intellectual. Many also felt that any prob-
lem existed only in the minds of a few that, generally
speaking, the RTC's and boarding students got along as
well as varied personalities and opinions would or could
permit in any situation. The fairy tale, which begins on
page 1 75, will, we hope, bring out a few points that a
rational rebuttal might miss, such as: Why were the Day
Students never mentioned as part of the misunderstand-
ings? There are a hundred sides to every story. Ask Wil-
liam Faulkner.

''Me Want Cookie

Once upon a time, there was a
small town named Agony Spott
whose primary business was the pro-
duction of the finest cookies in the
world. Even with this distinction, Ag-
ony Spott was a town of modest
means, for all who worked there were
united in a common goal: baking.

As in every business, there existed
a variety of personalities and situa-
tions among the workers. The major-
ity lived in the town and could walk
to the factory each day. Then there
were the workers who lived in outly-
ing areas and had to drive into town
each day. Finally, some workers had
left the town in earlier years to seek
their fortune elsewhere but ended up
returning to the profession of their
predecessors. These people were
known as RTB's (Return To Baking).
And all of the groups worked togeth-
er to create their cookies.

Now it came to pass that the city's
Mayor, the venerable C.C. Biggs, de-
cided to redesign the parking regula-
tions so that the business traffic
would flow unimpeded. Consequent-
ly, the commuting workers were
forced to park in outlying areas be-
cause closer spots had been under-
standbly taken by the intown work-
ers who had little need to move their
cars.

This decision caused great con-
sternation among both the Outlying
Workers and the RTB's. However,
the RTB's, already a vocal lot, pro-
posed a petition which the Outlying
Workers helped research and gladly
signed. But the focus remained on
the RTB's, for their worldly demea-
nor did not permit fading into the
crowd so easily.

The Cookie Crumbles

The Cookie Monster would appear in Agony Spott once
every ten years and devour as many cookies as he could
shove into his blue furry body. This time, the Cookie Mon-
ster struck in the dead of night and no one was around to
protect the factory.

As if the recent parking controversy (which was solved)
had not been enough to distinguish the RTB's, the Cookie
Monster had to help. In the factory, he devoured and crum-
bled more of their cookies than would have been thought
possible. He made only a passing glance at the Intown
workers' cookies and did not even touch the Outlying Work-
ers' cookies. Maybe the RTB's cookies were better, but the
deference definitely pointed out a difference. To some, the
choice signified an uncomfortable and unwelcome singular-
ity about the RTB's. But to others, the singling out was a
preverse honor, perhaps pointing out higher quality, but
also the loss of that quality to a nonappreciative, nonth-
oughtful blue furry Cookie Monster. This latter group band-
ed with the RTB's and secured the factory against further
attacks by the Cookie Monster.

It has been said that those who felt threatened by the
newfound awareness of the differences of the RTB's, who
had been complacent to let all bakers be equal before the
attack that distinguished them, left Agony Spott and fol-
lowed the trail of crumbs to the lair of the Cookie Monster,
there to remain forever . . .

BLESSINGS-
AND STERN WORDS-
. FROM THE POPE _^

In One Era

And Out

The Other

"Ten years in which Americans suffered growing
disillusionment about their leaders, their insti-
tutions, even the value of their currency and
came to the stark realization that there were hard
limits to the riches of the planet; in which they
were torn against themselves over an undeclared
war on the far side of the world; a President was
brought down after he used the power of his office
to cover up his own illegal acts and those of his
lieutenants; oil-rich Arab nations transformed the
power balance of the world; chiefs of state who
were sworn enemies shook hands in a bold try for
peace in the Mideast; a mad preacher called his
flock to death and an abundance of other shocking,
horrifying, edifying and tenderly moving events."

The quotation above says it all about the
seventies in just about as succinct a set of terms
as are humanly possible. Life magazine then went
on to identify a few terms which one might
associate with the decade just past.

adidas Brand-name graffiti appearing primarily
on running shoes, including a pair that glows in the dark.
banana Chastised for the scary language he used
about the recession, inflation-fighter Alfred Kahn
vowed to substitute more soothing terms, like
"banana." Kahn has since been heard to speak of
"double-digit banana."

decriminalization The not-qulte legalizatiorv. of

leisure suit "How many polyesters did you kill to

Point:

Be young!

Be foolish!

Dress nicely!

Go to class wearing skirts, hose

and makeup. Get up early, shower

and roll your hair. Eat breakfast

with a smile on your face.

Wear your everyday, good clothes

(which you don't consider "good

clothes") every day (even Saturday).

Keep them on even while you study.

Never wear your jeans when they get

lighter than deep blue. Patches?

Never! Always iron your shirts

(especially the solid-color ones)

whether they need it or not. Keep

the dry-cleaners in business with

your wool skirts and sweaters.

Never be seen with dirty hair or
no make-up possible exception:
exam time, when all women are equal.
Study diligently except for appear-
ances at Claiborne's, PJ's and Moe's
(do people still go there?). Play
tennis or any other "in" game of
your choice. Patronize and party
with the "in" fraternities at Tech
or Emory. Never miss a TGIF.

Arrive promptly at the dining

hall for all means. Pretend you're

on a diet and then have one serving

of everything. Raid the ice cream

freezer.

In sum, play hard, study some

and always look good. Make Agnes

proud of you.

Counterpoint:

Agnes, you neat so-and-so!

Don't dare to pass off rigid dress
standards as the only way. Many
people can only exist in a relaxed
(i.e. sloppy) demeanor (by nature).

Wear only the finest in faded
jeans and wrinkled shirts. Do not
get out of bed until fifteen minutes
before class, dive into you clothes,
snarf breakfast and arrive in class
with or after the bell. Never wear
make-up to class. Your professor
might not recognize you. Curlers?
Only on Sunday and maybe not even
then. Harbor dirty laundry in your
closet. Resort to "nice clothes"
only when you run out of comfortable
ones. Never be ashamed of wearing a
scarf over dirty hair, as it is the
sign of a busy woman (I keep telling
myself).

Study diligently. Comfortable
clothes make even the library liva-
ble. (Falling asleep in a skirt
could be embarrassing.)

Relax with a good beer, a rock
concert, or by breaking your room-
mate's beach records. Party at
Manuel's, Poets' or with a "fun"
fraternity at Tech or Emory.

Always arrive late to dinner (you
are busy, remember?). Eat elswhere
if you can. (They do not serve beer
in the dining hall yet. Some question
whether they serve food.) Maintain
your diet by eating just a salad
and then have one of every dessert,
including ice cream.

In sum, play hard, pretend to
study and look busy. Scott is
watching over you!

'i've Got The

Laundry Room

Blues."

The laundry room yeah, you know the place. That cubby hole in
the dorm where the school has shoved a couple of washers and dryers.
Then, they've taken bets on how many girls will decide to wash clothes
at the same time. You consequently encounter mass confusion and a
potential riot situation.

Certain personality types inevitably surface at these times. The vari-
ety would boggle the minds of researchers, should any firm classifica-
tion be attempted. The general types that can be observed at Scott
include:

Norma Underwear: Norma waits until the last possible moment to do
her wash. The traditional sign of an impending trip to the laundry
room is a gradual disappearance of clean underwear. She also begins
wearing last year's fashions and any old pair of jeans, no matter how
faded. Norma can be found in the laundry room when there is the
least possibility of the machines' being in use (after all, she has put
off doing her wash; now she wants to get it over with). This time is
most likely to lie between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. or on the night of any
formal.

Felicia Clnger: Felicia does her wash whenever she feels the need to
make everything "smell good." She uses those little smelly Bounce
sheets in abundance and, in the process, deodorizes the entire dorm.
She has even been known to wash clean clothes for the sake of smell.
For some unknown reason, Felicia never has any problem getting
into the laundry room. She is there so much that she sees the Maytag
repairman. Her hobby is collecting quarters and dimes.

Lisa Leavit: Lisa has a major problem. She remembers to do her
laundry, but she forgets to pick it up. Perhaps she thinks her wash
will jump from the washer to the dryer (if she leaves a dime), fold
itself and then obediently go to her room. Generally, she does remem-
ber to put it in the dryer, and she may even bring a dime. But she has
found her clothes in the laundry room a week later when she brings
down the next load.

Sue Ann Sweetwater: Sue Ann has the simplest solution to doing
laundry: she takes it home to mother. It does create a problem when
mother lives a couple of hundred miles away and the laundry has to
be mailed. Mailmen have died from less. Sue Ann does this, not
meanness or laziness, but because she just never figured out how to
do laundry. And she would hate winding up with navy blue under-
wear.

a piece of gauze and a bottle of scotch. Remove your
appendix. Do not suture until your work has been in-

might accompany the end of the world. Construct an
experiment to test your theory.

PHYSICS: Derive the universe. You may use the back
side of your paper if necessary. No calculators per-

also find an instruction manual, printed in Swahili.
In ten minutes a hungry Bengal tiger will be admitted
to the room. Take whatever action you feel appropriate.
Be prepared to justify your decision.

For some foolish reason, 1 thought that this would be the easiest page in the book to complete.
Silly me. It's rather difficult to believe that three years of hard work, frustrations, aggravations,
exhaustion and tears are almost over. And I wanted this job. My friends and staff have watched
me go from relative sanity to total lunacy all over 208 pages. But the disbelief is not from the
relief and release that the job is very nearly done; rather, it is more like watching your first-born
toddle out into the world. You can only hope you have prepared her well, and then feel that horrid
sense of loss that she is no longer there.

This book is my dream child. She is the product of my plans and the willing aid, creativity,
help and faith of a magnificent staff. Without them, the 1 980 Silhouette would be nothing. Even
with such mass support, a few people deserve special thanks: Martha Sheppard. my fastidious
Faculty editor and successor, who will be smart enough to ed/7the book and not try to produce
it; Susan rSicol, that penny-pinching Business Manager; Marina Costarides, a real Godsend in
Ads; Sarah Fairburn for service above and beyond the level of normal human endeavor in the
area of photography. Extra special thanks to Dan Troy, especially for the night he thought he
was the reason I burst into tears (don't flatter yourself. Dan). Thanks also go to two non-staff
members who contributed time and their talents to the book: Karen Webster, for a phenomenal
cover, and Mr. Staven for the times he helped me out of a pinch. Beyond this I owe my sanity to
concerned friends, most particularly Laramie, Kathy and Ceil.

This book is for you, Agnes. I hope you will be as proud of it as 1 am. It's a damn good book.

Yours in benevolent despotism.
