Scott Orang Indonesia

Scott Berman ’05 is the founder and host of Sky Cave Retreats, a darkness retreat center nestled in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument wilderness of southern Oregon. Guests typically stay four to five days in complete darkness in earth-sheltered cabins, where time becomes irrelevant and perhaps a deeper truth emerges.   Established in 2020 and the first of its kind in the United States, Sky Cave has attracted notable athletes like football quarterback Aaron Rodgers, endurance athlete Colin O’Brady, and British boxer Anthony Joshua. But Berman emphasizes that the retreat center is for anyone interested in deepening their meditation practice or for those who want to simply rest and rejuvenate.    “This is an opportunity for anyone to disconnect from the constant sensory bombardment of modern life and delve into self-reflection,” says Berman, who has hosted more than 300 retreats.    Berman, who grew up in South Jersey, began exploring alternative therapies as a psychology major, drawing inspiration from Skidmore’s Psychology Department. Through the department, he was first exposed to the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) technique developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in the late 1970s. Berman conducted independent research with his professors and attended a MBSR conference in Massachusetts.    After graduation, he traveled to Alaska, staying in a remote cabin for six weeks. This experience eventually led him to live in solitude in Mount Shasta, California, and Southern Baja, Mexico, for nearly a decade with his wife, Jill Berman.    After learning about dark-room retreats in places like South America and India, the Bermans completed their first darkness retreat in their Oregon home before building three underground cabins that would serve as the centerpieces of their retreat center.    Experiencing oneself in complete darkness is a concept rooted in ancient spiritual traditions, including that of the Kogi Mamos, indigenous people of Colombia. In its retreat offerings, Sky Cave also offers somatic therapy, which typically takes place before and after entering the cabin.   Berman continues his own four- to five-day retreat into darkness annually. He also visits a nearby cave weekly for a few hours at a time.    “It’s like visiting an old friend you haven’t seen in a while,” he says. “You become reconnected as the relationship continues to grow and deepen.”

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE. DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, Sept. 2(1, L956

"When bourgeois diplomats are preparing for war they begin to shout more strongly alx>ut 'pence' and 'friendly relations.' If any Foreign Minister begins to defend to the death the 'peace' confer- ence, you can be sure 'his govern- ment' has already placed its or- ders for new dreadnaughts and airplanes. A diplomat's words must have no relation to action other- wise what kind of diplomacy is it? Words are one thing, actions an- other. Good words are a mask for the concealment of bad deeds. Sin- cere diplomacy is no more pos- sible than dry water or iron wood." Joseph Stalin, "Elections in Petersburg."

The history of world affairs is full of irony. This excerpt above is today very painful when one considers the campaign of anti- Stalinism proclaimed by Nikita Khrushchev at the recent 20th Congress of the Soviet Commu- nist Party and the recent "peace" overtures made by the Soviet dip- lomats.

Eugene Lyons, former UP cor- respondent in Moscow, warns the world not to become "confused, divided and psychologically dis- armed by recent gestures of mod- eration in the Kremlin. We' must avoid mistaking a change of line for a change of heart."

William C. Bullitt, former Am- erican Ambassador to the Soviet Union, Whittaker Chambers, George Meany, Anthony T. Bous- caren, a great scholar in political science, and Louis Budenz, one of the highest-ranking American Communists to break with the party, all agree that we as Ameri- cans should not be fooled by the new diplomatic strategy being dis- played by the Soviet Union.

The goals of Communism re- main the same. Communism in Yugoslavia, China, India, France or Pussia is the same. It is out to destroy all the freedom that now remains in this world, ours in- cluded.

James D. Bales of the Bible De- partment at Harding College de- fines Communism as "a Marx-in- spired, Moscow-directed, interna- tional conspiracy of lawless men against civilization, based on a God-denying philosophy of life, sustained by faith in the dialectic, backed by the devotion of fanati- cal believers and the might of the Red armies."

Great men in all walks of life shudder at the thought of losing their freedom to the tyranny of Communism. All freedom-loving men urge their fellowmen not only to think how horrible life under Communist rule would be but also to do something about it.

As free Americans in a great democracy, we have certain re- sponsibilities. One of these respon- sibility is to vote. Elections are drawing near. Many are eligible to vot?. In order to keep this re- sponsibility that comes with free- dom we must vote.

We sincerely urge all our read- ers, voicrs or not, to acquaint themselves with the present world situation, the present policies of the existing administration, the platforms and records of both ma- jor parties, and after doing this intelligently . . . VOTE.

Classes Prepare Songs, Skits For Traditional Black Cat Event

Black Cat Day, 1956, has been scheduled for Friday, Octo- ber 5. Beneath the flurry in preparation for this well-known event, lies one of the oldest and best-loved of Agnes Scott traditions.

Fifty-one years ago, in 1915, college physician Dr. Sweet suggested a Freshman-Sophomore

"battle of wits rather than a bat- tle of fists" as a substitute for the rough hazing system which was ruining clothes and digestions of Freshmen the first few weeks of school. Adopted and organized in the fall of 1915 by the students, a program of songs, acting, and Wx ';n-T was presented in much the same manner as today. The origi- nal Black Cat Stunt continued for 35 years as an exclusive Frosh- Soph production.

In 1950, as a result of growing tensions and a bitter rivalry be- tween these two classes and be- tween their two sister classes, Black Cat was rejuvenated and became a community affair, held primarily for the purpose of hon- oring the new Freshman class. For the first time, Juniors and Seniors took an active part in Black Cat. In 1955, faculty mem- bers, competing in the sweep- stakes, tested their athletic skill.

Exhibition Features Faculty Art Works

The Agnes Scott Art Depart- ment is opening the Fall Quarter with an exhibition of creative work by the members of its faculty. Paintings by Mr. Warren, sculp- ture by Miss Huper, and crafts, ceramics and weaving by the new instructor, Mrs. Margaret What- ley, m-\y be seen on the third floor of Buttrick Hall at any hour dur- ing the day. This exhibition will run through September 28.

Tne gift left to Agnes Scott by the Senior Class of 1956 is now on exhibition in the Art Gallery on the' third floor of Buttrick Hall. It. is a terra-cotta sculptural piece, entitled "Girl and Cat," by the famous contemporary Ameri- can sculptor, William Zorach.

This is the first time in a num- ber of years that a class has pre- sented a work of art to the col- lege. A work of art is a fine and lasting gift, ana the Art Depart- ment wishes to congratulate the class of 1956.

The dearly familiar black cat, formerly the prize for the winner of Black Cat Day, was presented to the Freshmen from the Soph- omore class president as a token of good luck. Each year this pre- sentation climaxes the evening's fun.

With its Oriental theme, this October's Black Cat promises to be the best yet. The fun will be- gin with the sweepstakes, sched- uled to open at 4:30 p.m. and a picnic on the hockey field at 5:30 p.m. The gym will be open at 7:00 p.m. for the song competition and skits; following the hour-and-a-half long program, there will be a dance in Rebekah (Continued on Page 4)

McCain Speech Highlights Dedication of Walters Hall

This morning marked the dedication of Agnes Scott's new dormitory, Walters Hall, in exercises attended by students, faculty, alumnae and friends of the college.

Erected on the former site of the old science hall, the dormitory is named for the donor, the late -Mrs. George C. Walters. Mrs. Walters attended

Agnes Scott as Frances Wins nip, served as trustee for seventeen years, and held the viec-chair- manship of the Board during the latter part of her services. She died November 14, 1954; her will made Agnes Scott, the residuary legatee of an estate estimated at over $4,250,000. Income from this source has been used to erect Walters Hall, the total cost being estimated at $700,000.

The program of dedication was conducted by President Wallace M. Alston. Dr. J. Davison Philips, pastor of the Decatur Presbyteri- an Church, delivered the invoca- tion. In a brief ceremony, the key of the building passed from the hands of the architect, Mr. E. D. Ivey of Ivey & Crook, Architects, to Mr. Otis A. Barge of Barge- Thompson, the builders, then to a member of the Agnes Scott Board of Trustees. President Emeritus James Ross McCain gave the dedicatory address, after which DV. Alston closed the exer- cises with prayer.

Walters Hall, which houses about 145 students and is being used this year primarily as a soph- omore dormitory, has three floors devoted to dormitory rooms and a ground floor given almost en- tirely to recreation space. A kitchen and laundry are adjacent to the large recreation room; there is also a laundry on each dormitory floor. In addition to bedrooms on the first floor are lounges, a kitchenette, a college suite, and an office and apartment

Native Hawaiian Joins Faculty To Instruct Bible, Philosophy

By Catherine Girardeau

Mr. Kwai Sing Chang, Visiting Assistant Professor of Phi- losophy and Bible, brings an international aura to the camp- us. A native Hawaiian, Mr. Chang comes to Agnes Scott after teaching at the University of Hawaii.

Athough Mr. Chang's parents are Chinese, the genial new- comer admits knowing only five

words of the Chinese language. When he wants to converse with his grandmother, who speaks no English, he has to use an inter-

Mr. Chang is certainly no stran- ger to the United States. He re- ceived his B. Tf. and his Th. M. degrees from Princeton Universi- ty, where he roomed with Mr. C. Benton Kline, who has been in- strumental in bringing Mr. Chang to Agnes Scott. Also he holds the B. A. degree from the University of Hawaii and the Ph. D. from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Mis hackground includes six years as a Congregational minis- ter as well as teaching. Mr. Chang was the minister for two churches, one of which was located on Lanai Island which is owned and operated entirely by the Dole Pineapplo Industry. The other church was on the Island of Ha- waii in tho sugar cane and cattle country.

Belgian Student, Fulbright Scholar, Barking Dog . . . Arrives for Year of American Life

Strange, isn't it, how soon life gets down to serious busi- ness once the college year begins . . .

Freshmen, having survived orientation and handbook classes, plunge headlong with the upper classmen into a full schedule of academic work. Dr. Alston delivers his annual 3-point address. Three main campus organizations launch their carefully worked out, integrated programs.

And speaking of serious business, the time is almost at hand for nomination and election of members of Lower House. Long t/he/'ixderdogs" of Student Government's gov- erning bodies, Lower House shows promise this year of be- coming . & powerful tool for student expression. To a large degree, the effectiveness of this body of students will depend on the equal representation it affords groups on campus.

An am2ndmeh;t changing the procedure of electing mem- bers to Lower House will be voted upon in student meeting tomorrow. The proposed amendment shifts the responsibili- ty for electing such members from the entire student body to each individual dormitory and to day student groups. Through such a procedure, those elected to membership in Lower House will more nearly represent the choice of the groups they represent and can thus work more harmoniously with and for these groups.

We believe, with Student Government, that this is a step in the right direction. Lower House, by rights, can and should be an important influence on the Agnes Scott campus.

Shall we give the underdog a chance to "bark" its way to a vital and influential spot in the setup of Student Govern- ment? Part of the answer lies in the way YOU vote tomor- row. D. R.

Other interesting impressions This year Agnes Scott feels fortunate to have a Belgian, are that our car drivers are more Louise Vanhee from Brussels, as a new representative of cautious than in Europe. Our mail our foreign students. Louise, a Fulbright student, is doing a service is much slower. Our food study in this country on a scholarship she received from is quite different. One thing that

Louise left her country the 21st of August and sailed across the ocean on the Dutch ship, the Ryndam. Arriving in New York on the 30th, Louise spent a few- days there seeing many of the attractions, including the United Nations, the Statue of Liberty, and Metropolitan Museum. From New York Louise went to Wash- ington. An exciting experience there was watching President Eisenhower play golf on the White House lawn.

Louise's home at Agnes Scott is Hopkins Hall where she rooms with Gay Pound. Her courses in- clude English literature and com- position, American history and literature, play production and public speaking.

Louise is a graduate from two schools in Brussels. Both are teachers' colleges: one for ele- mentary education from which she received a degree, the other for secondary education from which she received a degree in Teutonic languages. This

surprises Louise is that many Americans put salt and mayon- naise on fruit. She likes our Southern fried chicken and our Georgia peaches and thinks our milk and ice cream are the best in the world.

While she is here. Louise hopes to become better acquainted with American people in order to un- derstand our way of living and way of thinking and acting. As a result she hopes not only to en- rich herself, but also feels that her friends, relatives and future pupils will be enriched by the wonderful experience she has had in this exciting new world.

Kimme! Discovers Counterpart Of Oriental Animals on Campus

By this time Agnes Scott is probably "home" to our fresh- men, but the staff of the Agnes Scott News wants to let them know how glad we are to have the addition to our campus family. Each new class brings opportunities and challenges with it for the whole student body and we hope that our newspaper will become a means by which each person may play a part in college life.

In the past week we have been very conscious of the co- operative spirit found on the Agnes Scott campus. On Tues- day we heard a chapel talk from the president of Christian Association who introduced the school's theme for this com- ing year. Thursday, Penny Smith, president of Student Gov- ernment, talked to us concerning the nature and worth of our Student Government and how the theme introduced the day before would be the basis for our campus government as well. And Friday we heard the president of Athletic As- sociation relate this same theme to the athletic program for the year. All three groups are joined in one aim "Be aware, care, share . . . for the love of God constraineth us."

The Agnes Scott News would like to join these three or- ganizations in their aim by offering to you, the student body, a means by whch you can express your awareness, a means by which you can share your views and feelings, and a means by which you can show you care about the well being of the Agnes Scott community. This oportunity is offered in the form of letters to the editor which are always welcomed. The one requirement for letters to appear in print is that they be signed by the writer.

Our newspaper does not belong to the few people on the staff but is yours. It is a sounding board for your use and we invite you to take an interest in Agnes Scott through this opportunity. L. S.

Scotties Glow With Jewels, Revel In Summer Memories

Ah the summer of '56. It should prove to be the most success- ful in the history of ASC. With sweet memories and sparkling jewels a multitude of Scotties returned to have their good fortune shared and their rings and pins admired.

The engaged girls include Susie Benson, Louise Almand, Grace Molineux, Jackie Johnson, Dot Huddlleston, Julia Weathers, and Virginia McClurkin. Also among the lovely users of Ponds are Kathy Cole, Pinky McCall, Lib Geiger, Ann Stein, Marilyn Tribble, and Liz Ansley. Completing (we hope) the list of those who have a special reason to display their third finger, left hand are Charlotte Caston, Pat Guynup, Martha Akin, Bopine Bogle, June Fulmer, and Margaret Schilling. Among the lucky girls receiving pins this summer are Caroline Dudley. Genelle Breedlove and Judy George. Carol Riley is pinned to an ATO at Emory, and Nancy Glasure is wearing a University of of Florida Phi Delt pin. Rosalind Johnson wears the pin of a Beta at Tech, and Sue Lile, Blythe Posey ,and Sandra Dickerson also re- ceived meaningful aditions to their jewelry boxes during the fabulous summer of '56.

Not to be discouraged by the epidemic of pins and rings, the new students and the "old girls'*, dressed appropriately in fantastic and flattering costumes, went in masses to rush parties at Tech and Emory.

The TKE house at Tech became a casino for the gambling party Friday night Seen at the roulette table with fists full of play money were Fran Singleton, Laura Parker, and Annette Whipple.

Frances Patterson, Celeste Rogers, and Carlanna Lindamood went to the "Go to Hell" party given by the Sigma Chis at Tech Friday night. Shall we wash out their mouths with soap? Over at Emory Friday night Sis Burns, Ann Scoggins, Celia Crook, and Laura Dryden were "shipwrecked" at the ZIP house. While their fellow students were in peril of their lives Ruth Leroy, Susan Hogg, Kay Armitage, and Betty Gzeckowicz were having the time of their lives at a French Apache shindig at the Phi Delt house.

Journeying out to Snapfinger Farm for a picnic with the Tech ATOs were Frannie Barker, Phyllis Cox, Wynn Hughes, and Willa Dendy. "Stranded in the jungle" at the Tech Sigma Nu house were Kay Fuller, Martha Ansley, Marcia Tobey, and Liz Shumaker. What's this we hear of someone swinging from the trees? Sunday was a big day for the Emory fraternities, and on hand to weliome the pledges were Dee Harvley and Betty Cobb at the Beta house and Caroline Rains and Portia Strickland at the PiKa house. To some Scotties the grass in other pastures looked greener. Angelyn Alford went to Clemson for the game and dance, while Jean Porter visited FSTT. Raines Wakeford enjoyed a big weekend at Emory at Oxford.

Martha Holmes and V. A. Redhead entertained visitors from Fort Benning, and Nellie Strickland had her flying sailor from Jackson- ville with her for the weekend. Susie Miller was seen on campus with a Dartmouth man. You can spot that Ivy League look anywhere. The citation of the week for Great Progress goes to Millie Nesbit who Saturday night was pinned with not one but two pins. In- e id en tally, the pins are from the same boy.

Hockey Opens Sports Season; Clinic to Feature English Pro

At a meeting of all hockey players and class managers last Thursday, Septemebr 20, the schedule for the 1956 hoskey season was announced by manager Pat Lenhardt. Practices will be held as usual on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 4-6 o'clock beginning Monday, September 24th, and

Miss Cadell is a member of the English Field Hockey Tour- ing Team, which is at present on tour of the United States, and makes this visit to Agnes Scott under the sponsorship of the U. S. Field Hockey Associa- tion. Imitations are being issued to GSCW, the University of Geor- gia and Wesleyan College to at- tend the clinic.

Miss Cadell will give individual and team instruction during the week and will umpire the regular Agnes Scott game the following Friday. Definite news concerning the clinic will be announced later. Tennis

At its first meeting last Thurs- day, the Tennis Club welcomed as its new adviser Miss Kate Mc- Kemie. Miss McKemie, who be- gins her first year on the Agnes Scott faculty as Assistant Pro- fessor of Physical Education, transfers from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. She received her B. S. degree from GSCW and her M. A. from New York University.

Also in the tennis lineup is the singles tournament beginning October 8th. Tennis manager Margaret Woolfolk urges all par- ticipants to sign for the tourna- ment as , soon as possible on the

list in the mail room. An added attraction for the tournament will be the newly resurfaced courts.

As always, the Athletic Asso- ciation played an important part in the orientation program for the Agnes Scott Freshmen. Continu- ing their practice of meeting new students as they arrived on trains, buses, and planes, the Board main- tained a smooth-running program which aided greatly in eliminating the "kinks" during the first few days of registration.

Especially successful this year was the tour of Atlanta on the first Sunday after registration. This annual event sponsored by A. A. for the benefit of the new students, included a two hour sur- vey of the shopping districts, re- sidential sections, the theaters, the parks and Tech and Emory.

Alumnae To Honor Freshmen With Tea

The Changs have a little girl named Forsythia, who is 21 months old. Besides his daughter Mr. Chang has another hobby listening to classical records. He professes to be a Hi Fi fan, and hfs favorites are Bach and Bee- thoven.

The Changs are residing at 296 S. McDonough Street. Mr. Chang's office is located in his home. The new professor is teaching Bible 201 classes and Ethics this quarter.

College Welcomes 184 New Students

To +he Agnes Scott campus this year have come 184 new students from 117 high schools and seven colleges and universities. Of this number 176 are freshmen and one is a special student, Louise Van Hee, from Belgium.

Seventeen states are represent- ed among this group with Georgia claiming the largest number of girls. Running second is North Carolina, with 28 and Florida with 26.

In a breakdown of hometowns it is seen that the city most rep- resented outside the Atlanta area is Charlotte, North Carolina, with eleven freshmen.

Coming to Agnes Scott for the first time is Everdina Niewenhuis, known to her classmates as Dien- eke. Having been born in Holland, she came to the United States in 1946 to live in Mt. Airy, North Carolina.

Although she claims the United States as her home nation, Diane Trammell visited in South Ameri- ca where she attended school.

Kefauver-Nixon Contest Offers Controversial Election Issues

Governor Christian A. Herter in a speech at the Republican National Convention said, "It is a fact no historian or student of government will dispute that during the past four years the role of Vice Presidency has been more significant, more in- fluential, more useful than ever before in our history." In November, Americans will be of

fered a choice between contrasts to fill this important position. The Democrats offer Senator Estes Kefauver; the Republicans offer Vice President Richard Milhous Nixon for re-election.

Vice President Nixon draws his strongest support from among the businessmen and the conservatives of his party. Senator Kefauver looks for support from the farmer, labor and the liberals of his party.

Both Nixon and Kefauver are considered natural politicians. They are adept at speaking to audiences large or small, mingling with voters on their own level and making convincing plays for votes. Kefauver is famous for be- ing a 'folksy' campaigner. Many Democratic leaders dislike him but respect his ability to cam- paign.

Kefauver, at the age of 53, is a veteran in Tennessee and na- tional politics. However, this is his first experience of being on a natiorfal ticket. Nixon is young- er than Kefauver. At the age of 43, he is a veteran of California politics and is considered a prodi- gy for winning the Vice Presiden- cy in 1952 at the age of 39.

Mr. Nixon is known as a "party

regular." During his six years in Congress, Republican leaders could usually count on his vote for party measures. During his seventeen years in Congress, Ke- fauver often swung away from leaders of the Democratic party. This is one reason some Demo- crats are wary of his holding a high office.

In 1951-52 Kefauver and Nixon were both in Congress. Nixon was in favor of a cut in the soil con- servation payment to farmers. Ke- fauver was opposed. Nixon was for the use of injunction under the Taft-Hartley Act in the steel strike of 1952. Kefauver was op- posed to this. Nixon was for legis- lative measures giving the States the control of tidelands oil. Ke- fauver opposed this too.

Although Nixon and Kefauver often disagreed on domestic issues, they generally agreed on interna- tonal issues. For example, they both strongly opposed cuts in (Continued on Page 6)

Warren Announces Persian Art Exhibit

Mr. Ferdinand Warren, head of the art department, has an- nounced that a display of Oriental block prints will be on exhibit from October 1 through October 22 in the college art gallery on the third floor of Buttrick Hall. The display will feature prints from the ancient Japanese "Kabuki" school, as well as Persian paint- ings and illuminated pages of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

All of the prints on exhibit will be for sale, with no item exceed- ing $40. The majority of the prints will range in price from $1.50 to $10.00.

Black Cat Turns Siamese To Present Talent, Skits

This Friday at 4:30 p.m., the annual Black Cat festivities will get underway with the opening of the Sweepstakes on the hockey field. Pat Lenhardt and Archer Boswell, co- chairmen of the athletic contest, have announced that Dr. George Hayes, English Department head, will be master of ceremonies for the afternoon's

program of faculty-student com- petition. Archery, a baseball throw, and various relay races, in- cluding a "surprise game," will highlight the event.

Immediately following the sweepstakes, a picnic supper, sponsored by Lower House, will be served to the entire college community. Nancy Holland, Lower House chairman, heads the com- mittee responsible for the picnic.

At 7:00 p.m., all four classes, assembled outside their respective dorms, will begin the evening's fun with the traditional march into the gym. Freshmen, Sopho- mores, Juniors, and Seniors will present their original class songs in that order to judges Miriam Koontz, Kate McKemie, and C. Benton Kline, faculty members.

After the welcome from Mortar Board President,' Sis Burns, the signal will be given and the cur- tain will rise on the '56 Black Cat Skit "We Are Siamese, If You Please." The Senior skit will be- gin the program, followed by the Sophomores, Juniors and Faculty.

The Freshman talent show will be the finale of the production.

Sophomore class president Lila McGeachy will then present the black cat to Dot Martin, Fresh- man Black Cat Chairman. The announcement of the winner of the class song contest will climax the evening's entertainment.

Leads in the big skit are to be played by Shelia MacConochie and Louise Almand. The chorus line, composed of four members from

each of the three upper classes, includes: Margie Hill, Martha Rig- gins, Marian Hagedorn, Ann Nor- ris Shires, Emasue Alford, Diana Carpenter, Anne Lowry, Liz Shu- maker, Sissy Daniel, Helen Scott Maddox, Ann Selph and Kay Weber.

Dot Martin, freshman Blaeu

Cat chairman, will receive black cat for her class Friday night.

There will be an informal dance in Rebekah from 8:45 p.m. until 12:00 p.m. The Varsitones, a local college combo, will be on hand to provide a variety of music for dancing.

Mortar Board president, Sis Burns, heads the entire Black Cat Day program; Mary Hammond is secretary; and Nancy Kimmel is in charge of the evening enter- tainment.

History Professor Discloses Interest in Swimming, Hiking

By Catherne Girardeau

Mr. Koenraad Walter Swart, new Associate Professor in History and Political Science, lends a special note of interest to History 101 classes since he is a native of Holland. A nat- uralized American citizen, Mr. Swart has been in the United States nearly ten years and admits being teased about his adopted "Utopia."

Before joining the Agnes Scott faculty, Mr. Swart taught at the University of Illinois, Georgetown University, and Brenau College. At Georgetown, in addition to teaching European history, the Professor was in charge of a Dutch language program for Air Force officers going abroad.

His education includes under-

graduate and graduate work at Leyden University, Holland, where he received the Ph. D. degree. He did further graduate study at the Sorbonne and at Harvard. The Hendrik Willem Van Loon Fel- lowship was awarded to him at Harvard for the 1946-47 session.

Mr. Swart's wife, who is also Dutch and whom he met in this country, has a B. S. degree in Botany. She is very interested in gardening and flowers. The Swarts have two children: Sonya, who is four years old, and Peter, age two. They live in McDonough Cottage.

Since he comes from a country prolific with lakes and waterways, it is not a surprise to find that Mr. Swart enjoys swimming, sail- ing, and other water sports. He regrets not "being closer to the ocean here. He also likes hiking and mountain climbing.

Exhibitions in America and Europe have featured Mr. Dodd's works and he has presented over thirty one-man shows. He is represented in permanent collec- tions of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chi- cago, and numerous other public and private collections. He is a member of Audubon Artists and an associate member of the Na- tional Academy of Design.

Tennessee Visitors Study College Life

Visiting on the Agnes Scott campus are President R. T. L. Lis- ton and several members of the board of trustees of King College, Bristol, Tennessee. They are studying various aspects of the college the administration, ad- missions, the library and the cur- riculum as part of a survey of several southern and eastern col- leges.

Today the representatives of King College will be the guests of Dr. Alston at luncheon in the President's dining room.

Dr. Virginia M. Tuggle, college physician, led today's Convocation in Gaines chapel; her topic was "College Health."

Dr. and Mrs. Alston have in- vited the freshman class to coffee at their home on Candler street. One group went from 1:00 2:00 in the afternoon on Tuesday, Oc- tober 2. The other two groups will visit the Alstons from 1:00 2:00 on Monday and Tuesday, Oc- tober 8 and 9.

Dr. Alston will be in Chicago on Thursday and Friday, October 11 12, attending the annual meeting of the American Council on Education. >

Next Sunday, October 14, he will conduct the vesper service of the National Conference of Coun- ty and Rural Area Superinten- dents, who are meeting at the Dinkier Plaza Hotel in Atlanta.

Short Story Writer To Visit on Campus

Agnes Scott's Lecture Associa- tion has announced the approach- ing visit to our campus of Kath- erine Anne Porter, distinguished American short story writer. "An Evening With Katherine Anne Porter," to be presented in Press- er Hall at 8:30 P. M. on October fifteenth, will be the first of this season's Lecture Association pro- grams.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, October* 3, 1956

This is National Newspaper Week. In a statement marking the observance from October 1-8, President Eisenhower has said in part:

"Our nation is based upon an informed and concerned cit- izenry. When our people know the facts, the decisions they make are for the good of the country.

"The ten thousand newspapers of America, consequently, have a great responsibility ... to present the facts honestly and in the proper perspective . . . When Americans know the truth they are strong and free to act for the best interests of the nation and the world. This is the challenge of National Newspaper Week."

Although the function of The Agnes Scott News does not lie primarily in the coverage of world news, our own college newspaper does devote a section each week to items of na- tional and international interest. In the age in which we live, no body of thinking, well-disciplined students should be al- lowed to withdraw from the world that lies outside the campus. We, instead, should be willing to apply the discipline and training which is ours to a study of contemporary hap- penings and to the formation of definite decisions concerning controversial issues.

Particularly is this important in the coming November elections. Many college students will be placing their initial ballot in the Presidential election box at that time. Our de- sire, as college students, to vote in an enlightened fashion may well be gratifying to students and "first-time" voters as a whole. In addition, it may help to overcome a mounting apathy toward voting among the veteran voters of our nation by demonstrating a new and positive attitude toward voting.

In the interest of presenting "the facts" of the background and qualifications of the 1956 presidential and vice-presiden- tial candidates, the News begins a special series with this issue. We urge all of our readers to inspect these articles and to consult those of larger newspapers in an effort to become well-informed.

Then when election time draws near, if we have been shown the truth, we shall be free to act for the best interests of the nation and the world. D.R.

Be a Part, Not Apart

In these busy, first days of school great emphasis is placed upon studying hard. Studying is very important, yet it is not so important that outside activities should be completely neg- lected. All will admit that part of one's college education is participation in activities with other people.

Right now at the beginning of the school year, each student has an opportunity to participate in our community project, Black Cat. This traditional event is held at the first part of the year so that through associating with other students the new Freshmen will feel a part of Agnes Scott. Only through each student working with others in . her class and other classes can this event be a success.

Won't you do your part? Whether you help your class write a winning song or just attend the Black Cat Sweepstakes, Skits, and Dance, you are taking part in Black Cat. You are helping Black Cat to be a success and are making the Fresh- men feel at home. J.F.

Netherlands-North Carolina Freshman Furnishes International Atmosphere

By Gene Allen Reinero

Dieneke Nieuwenhuis, a freshman here at Agnes Scott, is of interest to all of us not only because she is a new student, but also because she is originally from the Netherlands.

Dieneke was born in Holland and lived there till she was almost nine. In 1946, after the war, she and her parents came to America for a vacation. They decided to remain in this country and now live in Mt. Airy, North Carolina. Her father is in the wholesale bulb business. He grows gladioli and imports tulips from Holland.

Dieneke has been back to her country three times for vacations. She has relatives in England and Scotland, as well as Holland, whom she visits. Her grandmother lives in London. This June Diene- ke hopes to go back to Holland with her parents to spend the summer.

Here at Agnes Scott Dieneke is studying Spanish, mathematics, English, history, chemistry and folk dancing. She particularly likes history and math.

Steber, Metropolitan Soprano, Initiates Atlanta Concert Series

Atlanta's All-Star Concert Series opened its 1956-57 season with the performance of Eleanor Steber, great American so- prano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, on Tuesday, Oc- tober 2.

Her American appear- ances will be very limited next season, because she has been cho sen by the United States Govern- ment as a representative of this country to make a goodwill world concert tour.

The Dakota Student reports that Pogo is "top drawer stuff." It seems they wish to support their favorite possum for presi- dent, and "not being ones to sir like bumps on a log," they have plans for a Pogo rally and dance.

A bit of practical advice is giv- en to "confused rats" in The Fur- man Hornet. The first rule states that "Freshmen should never have their heads higher than upper classmen." It is added that "If a tall male Rat wishes to date a short upper class girl, he definitely has a problem."

The Davidsonian features an editorial on the responsibility of the college student. It states that m addition to "the traditional re- sponsibility to self, family, and school, of 'making good', there is an added measure of trust" be- cause of present high selectivity of students in institutions of high- er learning.

Magazine Features Alumna Journalist

Marybeth Little Weinstein (Ag- nes Scott, Class of 1948) is fea- tured in the October issue of Mademoiselle. An ex-*Guest Editor of that magazine, she is now working for the Sunday New York Times.

While still at Agnes Scott, Marybeth resolved to go to New York as soon as she graduated "to write poetry in the Village and later, maybe, to be a lady editor with a penthouse overlooking Cen- tral Park . . ." As a result of her Guest-Editorship with Mademoi- selle in 1947, she was invited back to become a full-time member of that magazine's staff. In two years she became college editor, managing the contest that had given her a start and doing edi- torial jobs .

Marybeth is no longer an edi- tor. Since the news world takes a dim view of titles, she has become simply "deskman." She reads, recommends, orders, rewrites and rejects features for the magazine section. She finds time on the side to write features on subjects rang- ing from pipe-smoking for women to the life of George Bernard Shaw.

A TV- producer husband, three children and a suburban Scars- dale home keep Mrs. Weinstein busy after hours.

Autumn Days, Gold Chapeaux 'Spirit' Scotties From Campus

As the autumn weather* turns those famed leaves to flame, and the clear brisk days of September dwindle to a precious few, many of the Scotties have forsaken their books and turned to the great out-of- doors. Bicycling, walking or just sitting in the quadrangle is very popular, particularly with the boys wearing those adorable gold hats that seem so stylish this year.

The fraternities at Tech, finishing rush last week end, and those at Emory took advantage Of the Lovely weather and staged many of their parties with a natural setting.

The SAEs at Tech had a rush party-picnic Friday night at North Fulton Park and invited Mary Ann Gillis, Susan O'Neil, Sally Meek, and Jody Armbrecht.

Out of doors Saturday night were the Tech PiKAs, as they traveled via hay and truck. Pat Anderson, Susan Riffe, Martha Young, and Dannie Reynolds had a great time even if the Harvest Moon didn't cooperate.

The Betas at Tech journeyed to the Allatoona Yacht Club Saturday night, and took Mary Ruth Watson, Jane King, Mary Ann Donnell, and Renee Shenk as shipmates.

The Betas at Emory must have caught the contagious call of the wild from their neighboring brothers. Many folk including Dolly Bates, Cat Hodgin, Betty Cobb, and Curt Swords were at their picnic at Stone Mountain Saturday, but the Betas regret that Kim Novak couldn't join them.

A picnic finished the rush season for the Kappa Sigs at Tech. Seen at Snapfinger Farm were the country girls Libby Hanson, Cathryn Collins, Carolyn Wright, and Sally Sanford.

The Sigma Chis at Tech were unique in that they brought the out- side inside. For their beach party Saturday night, they imported sand in the form of sawdust, and palm trees in their natural form, giving the house all the allure of a South Sea Island. Seen lounging by the surf were Jane Law, Eve Purdom, Nancy Holland, Wardie Abernathy, and Libby Gay.

A more continental affair Saturday night was given at the Tech KA house. It was a "Paris After Dark" party. Lillian Hart, Nancy Bowers, Barbara Duvall, Margaret Ann Zepatos and Babe McFadden were among the "mademoiselles de Agnes Scott" who looked especially chic.

The ATOs were more conventional as they wound up rush week week at Tech with a house dance. Glimpsed on the dance floor were Lynn Frederick, Kathryn John, Peace Fewell, Martha Davis, and Jackie Rountree.

Lang Sydnor ) Caro McDonald, and Liza Ambrose also went to a rush party Saturday night but their's was at the ZIP house, a dental fraternity at Emory. How're the molars, girls?

A most unusual party was thrown by the Tech Delta Tau Deltas Friday night. For their mystery party the Delts rented an abandoned prison and made it really spooky with some inventions of their own. The biggest mystery, for the girls at least, was what to wear, and Emily Bivens, Helen Sewell, Beverly Dfelk, and Jimsie Oeland appeared in a wild and wide assortment of attire.

The Southeastern Fair drew many Scotties last week. Frances Gwinn } Edith Hurt, and Grace Woods tried winning some Pandas, while Nancy Brock and Dot Ripley preferred 'the finer things of life, the livestock and poultry exhibitions. It has been reported that Shelia MacConochie, Penny Smith and their dates set an endurance record on the merry-go-round.

A roll of drums, please, as we recognize the lucky ones who made that long trip down the aisle over the summer. Mary Grace McCurry Garrett, Marianne Sargent Duncan, Lillian Null Kirkpatrick, Marilyn Monaghan Adams, and Becky Deal Geiger are successfully combining the virtues of wife and scholar. Others who are enjoying their new dual role are Frances Cork Engle, Sally Forester Logue, Nancy Hale Johnson, Joanne Ray Moulton, and Eleanor Wrivht Linn. Best wishes, wives (isn't that a lovely word?), ASC smiles on you.

The wanderlust, beckoned some from the "Sheltering Arms" last week end. Hazel Ellis drove to Athens to see FSU and Georgia tie. Columbia, S. C, was the destination of Virginia Fuller as she toured over to see a "someone special." Betty Edmunds enjoyed one of those fabulous University of Virginia week ends.

Have you noticed the Thursday sparkle in Betsy Crapps' eyes? Could the cause be an especially interesting history class, or perhaps a Seminary graduate who pays a pastoral call every Thursday?

Speaking of sparkles, there is a new one on campus, and it's found on the left hand of Hazel Hall. The beauty of the diamond is sur- passed only by the width of your smile, Haz.

Now, chicks, a few words of wisdom: since the rush parties have ended you may be seeking entertainment this week end. May I recom- mend Black C at. It has the Six Star Seal for Frolicking Fridays.

(Continued from Page 1) Swart points out that on the whole European students receive more intense high school training and therefore become specialized at a younger age than American students. The school systems are set up on a different basis and European high school students en- ter the universities at almost a graduate level.

At a European University Mr. Swart would be teaching history mainly to people who wanted to major in it or pursue their studies further in the f eld. Only a small percentage of European students take general subjects in college since these subjects are usually covered adequately in high school.

In Student Government meeting last Thursday there arose that question which is dear to the heart of every college girl. The question merely arose and was left stranded by the side- lines. It is therefore our intention to get back on the main road. That is why we conducted this poll on the subject of THOSE THINGS EXAMS. (This'

is another article in the series of campus improvements, conducted under the supervision of the de- partment of Home Economics.)

CECILY VANderROOSTING : "Exams, as they are conducted at Agnes Scott, are old fashioned. I am against them, but would love heading a committee for the intro- duction of oral comprehensives to be given only during Spring quar- ter of the senior year."

PENELOPE PENCIL: Well, uh, uh, uh, as I see it from where I am standing over here by But- trick, it don't look as though the crowd over there in the Hub minds t'lem too much. \nd, uh. uh, you know how j. feel. Whatever the Hub wants, is uh, uh, all right with me.

ADO ANNETTE: "Exams, phooev. They don't bother me at all. Who minds going to class once a day, writing a little blue book full? That's nothing when you consider all the free time you get in the afternoon and all the dates you can get in. Why, last year I even slipped in a little side trip to Florida State. I'm for hav- ing exams every other week."

AGNES LIBRETTE BOOK- STER: "Exams are essential to the scholar. During those few hours of concentrated study, I find my- self discovering new worlds that I had overlooked in the mad pace of the quarter. I find myself look- ing forward to my specially ar- ranged course next quarter. I find myself telling you it is called Di- rected Study for the Superior Student. I also find myself . . ."

ASSISTANT DEAN FANCY SNUCKITT: "Now that I'm above them, I like them. They are just the right thing to keep the dorm quiet and peaceful. And besides, where would I be now if it weren't for exams?"

RAINDROP GRILLIS: "No comment whatsoevery."

MRS. LEONARD GEIGER- COUNTER: "Exams are all right in general, but I was wondering if we could skip them this winter so Leonard and I could take a little vacation to Istanbul."

MISS BLISS: "I find that exams stimulate my students no end. They talk about them con-

stantly and it is really through exams that I truly get to know my student. I have never known a mind that wasn't awakened .by the thought of examinations."

We decided that we would ask one student to give us a summary and a conclusion for this study. We chose a famous hockey player and popular, all-around girl, PERTHA SIS BOOM BAH BUY- ER, who said: "Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, exams? Yeah, we got 'em, sure."

Freshmen Prepare For Dek-lt Contest

Freshmen Scotties are busy making trips to Decatur and At- lanta shopping for odds and ends that will add to the decoration of their rooms. Eagerly they are awaiting the time when the judges will visit the dormitories to select the roorn that best displays at- tractiveness, color, and originality.

Christian Association each year sponsors Dek-lt, a contest in which freshmen compete in plan- ning and carrying out decoration of rooms.

AA Offers Many Opportunities; Program Fulfills Student Needs

Many almost shocking surveys have recently been released revealing that the American youth, despite his considered ad- vantages, is fast becoming a specimen of physical degenera- tion rattling far below his European contemporary m stami- na, and general physical fitness. President Eisenhower ex- pressed his concern jn a message '

last year in which he noted the alarming growth of the number of young American men who are turned away yearly from military service because of physical de- ficiencies.

Doctors viewing this problem blame the easy life led by the ma- jority of America's young people which encourages their depend- ence on modern conveniences and indoor amusements such as mo- vies and T. V. and their trend to- ward spec:atorship rather than actual participation in athletic activity.

The third of the four ideals up- held at Agnes Scott College is Physical Well-Being. It has long been recognized that only with an active, healthy body can a stu- dent be expected to meet ade- quately the demands of campus life. Thus the job of the Athletic Association is to act as the main- stay of this ideal by offering a varied athletic program which most nearly fulfills the needs of the Student Body.

Unfortunately, too often this program of athletics is left in the care of the A. A. Board members and a minority group of teamed athletes while the majority of so- called non-athletes on campus, whether intimidated by their more vigorous sisters or over-protective of their own delicate qualities, re- strict their interest to a faithful persuing of a diet book and the daily 15 minutes of deep-knee bends.

Need For Participation

Few people achieve proficiency in many sports, but the advantage and enjoyment rests not on the ability and range of ability alone but on the actual participation. A variety of team and individual activities are offered throughout the year designed to reach all students possible. Many require little skill and provide not only amusement but relief from studies and class work. Listed are only a few of the forms of recreation provided for the campus com- munity.

The Athletic Association pur- chases and maintains for the use of the students a number of bi- cycles kept in the bottom of the Science hall. This year the Board received a welcome addition to the supply an English bike featuring three gears and a hand-brake. Students are urged to use these bicycles at any time and are re- quested to return them to their

Swimming The gymnasium swimming pool is open for plunge periods throughout the year. Plunge peri- ods are from Monday through Thursday from 4:005:00 every week. As a new feature on Wednesdays, synchronized swim- ming will be taught during this time to all who are interested.

Located near the observatory is the A. A. barbecue pit which is open at all times to the use of the entire campus. Individuals or or- ganizations wishing to reserve the pit for a specific date should con- tact Betsy Crapps in order to in- sure reservations and so that arrangements may be made for wood.

Cars are provided every Wednesday and Thursday after- noons for golfers inteVested in playing at the Avondale Course. Students wishing to go out on these afternoons are requested to sign on lists in the respective dorms.

In addition to the above men- tioned activities, other sports op- portunities include archery, rifle- ry, riding, badminton, shuffle- board, swimming meet, doubles and singles tennis tournaments, hockey, basketball, Dance Group, ping pong, volleyball, tumbling, fencing and softball. Whether a novice or "pro," each student is invited and urged to take advan- tage of any and all sports activi- ties.

Mascot Kathy poses with cou- sin James McCain.

Class of '57 Elects 'Kathy 1 As Mascot

The Agnes Scott College Class of 1957 announces the selection of Miss Kathryn Lee McCain, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. John R. McCain, as the class mascot. Kathy is the granddaughter of Dr. James R. McCain, president emeritus of ASC.

As mascot, Kathy will partici- pate in many of the traditional senior activities including Investi- ture, crowning of the May Queen, and graduation exercises. Kathy is six years old and a "freshman" at Ponce de Leon Grade School in Decatur.

Outside of school, Kathy has a special interest in collecting rare, old pennies. Her mother is an alumna- of Agnes Scott and her sister, Elizabeth, was mascot of the Class of 1948.

ASC Will Star Once Again; Center to Film McCain's Life

Once again Agnes Scott is "getting into the movies." Once again motion picture cameras, 1915 model cars, and girls in old-fashioned dresses* will be seen about the campus. This time it is not Hollywood, but Atlanta's own Protestant Radio and Television Center which will be filming a television show about Dr. James Ross McCain,

Scott sequence will last only about a minute. However, the ten mem- bers of Blackfriars who have been selected to be in the film may still consider themselves lucky. Those girls who will play the part of ten typical Agnes Scott stu- dents of 1915 are Doreen Green- field, Caroline Miller, Emily Gil- ham, Lynn Frederick, Sally San- ford, Nancy Kimmel, Carol Pike, Liz Shumaker, Nellie Strickland, and Mary Ann Campbell.

Mr. Warde Adams, of Atlanta, is producer of the show. Shooting of the Agnes Scott scenes is scheduled to begin Monday, Oc- tober 15.

The influence of the educated American woman is one of tiie strongest forces for good in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa- tion, not narrow specialized training, that lias developed her abilities and ins ghts. As homemaker-citizen and as ca- reer ist-citizen, she justifies magnificently the faith of those who a century ago were fight- ing for her right to learn what she wished to learn.

Dr. McCain, speaking as a counselor, Christian leader, and president emeritus of a liberal arts college, advises her to choose not only a liberal arts school but also one with Christian back- ground and ideals. As he talks with her his thoughts flash back to Agnes Scott, and the cameras record a campus scene from 1915, with girls in quaint dress walking about the campus and entering tne library.

Chemistry Majors Give Details internationally . Of Enlightening Oak Ridge Trip

Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is a most unique part of the country, agree the eight chemistry majors who visited there last week end. Covering 60,000 acres and located on the former site of three small Tennessee towns separated by miles of rolling farm and forestland, the town and government area is now in its thirteenth year of existence

Built to house a population of 75,000 during the war years, the town is presently home to some 32,000 people. Fifty different churches and many modern school buildings, numbering among the best in the nation from the stand- point of design and construction, are significant landmarks among the surrounding hills.

Most inhabitants of the town are under 35 years of age. Eight thousand children are enrolled in the school system and eight thou- sand more are waiting to enroll. Oak Ridge is reputed to have the highest birth rate of any town in the nation, a fact which is in no' way connected with the town's in- terest in atomic energy.

Houses in the area were origi- nally constructed to last a maxi- mum of ten years. At the present time, they have been standing thirteen years and show all indi- cation of remaining intact many more. The government has only recently begun to sell these houses and lots to families. In places, new homes are being built and modern shopping centers are springing up to replace former PX type stores. Although it still largely resembles an army base, the town of Oak Ridge is fast adopting the more familiar trends of civilian life. Visitors

It was into this area that eight

of Agnes Scott's junior and senior chemistry majors, accompanied by Dr. W. Joe Frierson, Dr. Charles B. Vail and Miss Louise Rainey journeyed last weekend. The lar- gest field trip the department has undertaken in some time, this trip was designed to acquaint the stu- dents with many of the principles, instruments and uses of atomic energy through first hand obser- vation.

The entire day September 28 was spent touring two of Oak Ridge's principal areas of opera- tion, Y-12 and X-10. Here were observed, among other things, two cyclotrons, the graphite and swimming pool atomic reactors, a Van de Graaf generator and atom smasher, and a remote control process for separating and pack- aging radioactive isotopes.

A highlight of the trip was the visit to the Medical Division of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nu- clear Studies. Underway here is one of the nation's major pro- grams to investigate the value of radioisotopes and radiations in cancer therapy.

Through this field trip, our chemistry majors gained a new insight into the realm of atomic energy and came to appreciate its value, as well as its problems, as it applies to real life.

(Continued from Page 1) foreign aid.

Nixon is a hard fighter in parti san contests but he isjequally able in bipartisan issues, especially those concerning our foreign af- fairs. He has been a staunch and effective leader in the bipartisan issue of foreign aid. Nixon has done an excellent job of bringing the gap between the aims and views of the President and the Congressional point of view. Nix- on is against any federalizing, so- cializing, or nationalizing of any basic American institution. He be- lieves schools are of local concern and not federal. But he believes that the federal government should help when needed.

Kefauver's crime investigation made before the 1952 elections made him famous, but it also cost him political friends. Truman and the big city leaders were definitely against him when his probe dis- closed that many gamblers were linked to local officeholders. Ke- fauver offended not only the city Democrats but' also the Southern- ers. He has been branded by many Southern Democrats as a radical. He has made a determined stand against segregation and has urged the use of federal force to insure integration.

Both Kefauver and Nixon are the sons of storekeepers. They grew up in small towns. They worked their way through college and became lawyers. Then they turned to politics where they have led active lives. They both live in Washington, D. C. Their chil- dren attend the same public school.

Both men have been severely criticized and both have been.

Grafton To Address Students At Honors Day Convocation

Mrs. Martha Stackhouse Grafton, dean of instruction at Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Virginia, will deliver the Honors Day address at Convocation on October 10. Dean Grafton, an Agnes Scott alumna and member of Phi Beta Kappa, will speak on "Being Above the Average." The pro- gram will recognize students who

qualified for Honor Roll during the 1955-56 session.

Mrs. Grafton majored in soci- ology at Agnes Scott and was president of Student Government while here. She received her Mas- ter's .degree at Northwestern Uni- versity. In 1930 she joined the Mary Baldwin faculty as Assistant Dean of Students and Instructor in History. In 1937 she became Dean of Instruction and has serv- ed as Acting-President following the resignation of Dr. L. Wilson Jarman in 1945 and again in 1953, following the resignation of Dr. Frank Bell Lewis.

Dean Grafton has served as President for the Association of Virginia Colleges and the Southern Association of Colleges for Wo- men. She has also presided as chairman of the Conference of Academic Deans of the Southern States in *1948 and as chairman of the curriculum commission of the Southern Association of Col- leges for Women in 1947-48. In 1950 Mrs. Grafton was appointed a member of the executive com- mittee of the Virginia Humanities Conference.

Devotional Reading Placed in Library

For those who would like to learn more about rheir Christian faith; for those who seek inspira- tion during busy days in college, or for those who need material for hall prayers, the library has recently reserved a shelf on the main floor near the fireplace for all types of devotional and in- spirational literature.

There will be many types of books on this shelf and they will be divided into sections for Bible study, daily devotions, spiritual biographies, and studies of the Christian doctrine. These books will be circulated among students as most regular library books for a two week period.

For those who wish to share their ideas with others, C. A. has scheduled a discussion period in the Hub next Wednesday evening, October 10. Exact time, topic and leaders will be announced later.

Protestant TV Center to Film Story of President Emeritus

The Protestant Radio and Television Center of Atlanta is currently undertaking the filming of fifteen television shows known as "The Christian Witness Series." One of these shows is about Dr. James Ross McCain, president emeritus of Ag- nes Scott College and an elder in the Decatur Presbyterian Church. A portion of the show

will be filmed on the Agnes Scott campus, and sixteen members of Blackfriars have been selected to provide background for the scenes.

Dr. McCain was selected by the Presbyterian Board of Extension as one of the men about whom a "Christian Witness" program was to be written. He is well-known as a Christian leader in his com- munity and church, a beloved friend and counselor of young people, and President Emeritus of a college of outstanding Christian character. /

In the fifteen minute film, which is entitled "From Out the Crowd," Dr. McCain advises an uncertain young girl to choose a liberal arts college befpre a vo- cational school, and also to choose one with Christian ideals. In dis- cussing colleges with the girl, Dr. McCain speaks of Agnes Scott in order to exemplify a Christian liberal arts college and also to point out the changes that have occured in colleges since he be- came President of Agnes Scott in 1915. It is at this point in the film that scenes of Agnes Scott occur.

In the Agnes Scott sequence, which will last only fifty-four sec- onds in the finished film, the girls are attired in 1915 dress. These dresses are being rented from New York especially for the occa- sion. Scenes of Rebekah Scott Hall and the colonnade, Main Building, students coming out of Presser Hall after chapel, the Science Hall, and the Library will be film- ed on October 15th.

Dr. McCain will, of course, be the chief actor in the film. The

part of the young lady will be por- trayed by a local high school girl. The film has already been com- pleted with . the exception of the Agnes Scott sequence.

The fifty-four second sequence of our campus alone will cost the Protestant Radio and Television Center several hundred dollars. The entire film is being financed by the Presbyterian Church.

The dafe of the appearance of this show on television has not been determned. The "Christian Witness Series" is to be completed by February 1st and handed over to the television stations. The in- dividual stations will contact all parties interested as to the exact date of the film's presentation.

Dr. Immanuel Ben Dor, Deputy Director of Antiquities of the Gov- ernment of Israel, will speak on campus tomorrow evening, Octo- ber 11th. Dr. Ben Dor has chosen as his subject "Daily Life in Bib- lical Times." The lecture will be at 8:15 p.m. in Campbell Science Hall.

Dr. Ben Dor, a native of Okopy, Ukraine, is a graduate of the He- brew Teachers College of Vienna and also studied at the Universi- ties of Vienna and Rome.

In 1948, Dr. Ben Dor assumed his present position. In 1954 he was invited to be lecturer at the Oriental Institute of the Univer- sity of Chicago. At the present time, Dr. Ben Dor is a lecturer at the Harvard Divinity School.

honorary degrees from both the University of North Carolina Wo- men's college and the University of Michigan. She is a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters and a Fellow in Regional American Literature of the Li- brary of Congress. |

Miss Porter's works include Pale Horse, Pale Rider; Flowering Judas; The Leaning Tower; The Days Before; and her new novel, Xo Safe Harbor. Pale Horse, Pale Rider, probably her best known work, should be of particular in- terest to some of the freshmen, as .hey will be reading the three short novels contained in it this quarter.

Edmund Wilson, in The New Yorker, says her stories "show us human relationships in their constantly shifting phases and in the moments of which their exis- tence is made."

Miss Porter has done a great deal of speaking both in this coun- try and abroad. Her readings have been acclaimed for their brilliance, humor, and dramatic impact. Glenway Wescott of the New York Times says, "Miss Porter's style is . . . perfection." She has also done recordings on Caedman and

NATO Policy Poses Problems As Russia Plots 'Peace 7 Moves

One of the most vital international questions of today is what to do with NATO. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles says that it is time that this organization advanced from its youth to the "totality of its meaning." Others believe that NATO has filled its destiny and should expire.

Generally speaking, the mutual

security programs of the United States and the other fourteen member nations who signed the North Atlantic Treaty have been entrusted to this body. Now ef- forts are being made to extend the emphasis on maintaining mili- tary defense to economic and po- litical areas since there are cer- tain spiritual, cultural and per- sonal ties between the North At- lantic Treaty members.

One* of the major points of de- bate in this question is whether or not NATO provides adequate mili- tary defense. Many Americans are afraid that we are making too great a commitment and may thereby entangle ourselves in a war between a European nation and its aggressor which would re- sult in a world conflict. These people bel.'eve that it is far more important to build our own de- fense rather than contribute to collective security. Collective se- curity, they maintain, wil^i actual- ly weaken our defense.

However, supporters of NATO argue that the very fact that an aggressor of one of the NATO members would have to fight all

the NATO members at the same time is the strongest type of de- fense.

The Russians, during the Twen- tieth Party Congress, had twelve speakers and eleven of these speeches cited the disbursement of NATO as the primary objective of the Soviet foreign policy. This policy has been conspicuous in the difficulties arising within the NATO body German unification, French-Algerian troubles, and the Cyprus crisis. Consequently, many supporters of NATO want the body to expand its. authority to the degree that more subjects can be discussed in NATO meetings before the crisis breaks.

Another major point that the enemies of NATO cite is that the United States has borne more than 80 percent of the cost of NATO. This has greatly affected our national debt. Taxpayers are clutching their purses and ve- hemently protesting that the American taxpayer is being too greatly burdened. Few Americans realize that our NATO allies are "now spending six dollars from their own budget to match every (Continued on Page 4)

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, October 10. 1956

Another Black Cat Day has come and gone, leaving echoes of ''a college campus where peace and joy abound, where laughter gay in work or play within each heart is found . . ." to ring throughout the year.

An Agnes Scott tradition, this year's production proved to be bigger and better than ever. Certainly much credit is due those who worked directly or indirectly to make it the success that it was.

Not the least of those to whom credit is due are the mem- bers of our faculty. Two faculty acts contributed significantly to the whole of the evening's entertainment. In addition, the great number of faculty members and their families who attended the sweepstakes, picnic supper and skits is indicative of this group's interest in such campus traditions.

Amid the stir accompanying preparations for this year's Black Cat Day were heard the rumblings of a movement getting underway to urge the continuation this winter of a faculty tradition at Agnes Scott. Having two successful showings during the past eight years to its credit, the facul- ty's own "Shellbound" is currently becoming a conversation piece among students on campus. We of the "younger gen- eration," have never been privileged to witness such a pro- duction, but have heard favorable reviews of past per- formances.

By popular request from the student body and under authority of the president of Student Government, a letter has been drafted and submitted for presentation to the facul- ty. This letter of invitation expresses the eagerness of the entire student body in seeing that such a faculty tradition is not allowed to die and be forgotten.

We students pledge full support and whole-hearted interest for a production that has meant much to Agnes Scott in years past, and repeat to the faculty our plea:

We want SHELLBOUND!! D. R.

" 'Undetermined origin,' they say. It's a common phrase in news reports of a fire. In the charred and gutted shell of what used to be someone's home, it is sometimes difficult to figure out immediately where the first wisp of smoke curled up where the first tiny flame licked out.

"Whatever happened, it's past remedying. It matters only as a guide to the future. But to a fire victim, what matters most is the present. Everything is gone ... all the things that went to make up one family's daily life."

This is Fire Prevention Week, 1956. It is being observed October 7-13.

Its purpose is to direct public attention to the 11,000 lives and $885,218,000 in property destroyed by fire in 1955, and to the safety measures which can help reduce this needless waste in future years.

Carelessness is the basic cause of all fires. A box of matches is left where children can get to it. A cigarette butt is aim- lessly tossed away, instead of being crushed in an ashtray. A fuse on an overloaded circuit blows and a bigger fuse is put in instead of having an electrician install more circuits or outlets. Chances are taken with any of a hundred other unsafe conditions because it's easier that way.

President Eisenhower has issued a proclamation setting aside this one week of the year for nation-wide fire preven- tion effort. By presenting the facts to the American Public, all of us can help make our nation safe from fire. There is no better time than the present to learn about fires and how to prevent them. G.A.R.

Dorthea Anne Harllee, Class of '57, died Sunday, October 7th, at 9:00 a.m. at the Duke University Hospital, Durham, North Carolina. She was a vic- tim of cancer of the spinal cord.

While at Agnes Scott, Anne was a member of Cotillion Club, *59 Club, and the YWCA committee of Christian Asso- ciation. She was a class cheer- leader and a psychology ma- jor.

The funeral will be held in Palmetto, Florida.

The Reflector of Mississippi State College reports that wives of students have an organization which gives "P.H.T." degrees. These girls are "Putting Hubby Through College." Their topic of conversation is not "how to spend their husbands' money," but "how husbands can best spend their wives' money."

Miss Nancy Groseclose sent me the September 26 copy of The Agnes Scott News which I have read from beginning to end with much interest and also with a feeling of nostalgia.

But more than that I am deeply moved to know that the spirit of Agnes Scott has not changed. Your aim for the year so beauti- fully expressed, "Be aware, care, share for the love of God con- straineth us," is an inspiration and a challenge to those of us who are "far from the reach of thy shel- tering arms."

I want to express to you all my gratitude, my interest, and my very best wishes for your success in the coming year. Sincerely,

Pepperdene to Publish Book Revealing History of 'Beowulf

By Catherine Girardeau

The Agnes Scott faculty welcomes another dog lover to its ranks. Mrs. Margaret W. Pepperdene, who comes here as Assistant Professor of English, admits her chief interests are "teaching, research, and dogs in that order."

''Beowulf" is Mrs. Pepperdene's particular favorite English literature. In connection with her belief that "Beowulf" throws considerable light on the background of the first Christian- ity in Britain, Mrs. Pepperdene has made an extensive study of the epic at universities in Ireland. All her work abroad was centered around "Beowulf" and medieval England, and included a study of the Celtic languages. The profes- sor's research will culminate in a book on "Beowulf," which she will write during spring quarter. She has received a Guggenheim fellow- ship for this work.

The mention of Mrs. Pepper- dene's miniature poodle, "Missy," brings forth an enthusastic re- sponse from her owner. She as- serts jokingly, "Missy" is the most important member of the Kennedy House." The two-year- old black poodle was born in Lon- donderry, Ireland.

"Missy," who is discriminating in her choice of friends, has sel- ected Miss Eloise Herbert, Spanish professor, as her best friend. The poodle has expensive tastes and prefers chaise lounges and wall- to-wall carpets. The Kennedy House, where she resides with'Mrs. Pepperdene, has earned her ap- proval.

Dogs are not a new hobby for Mrs. Pepperdene. She has spent many holidays in Texas, where she has friends who breed poodles. Eventually Mrs. Pepperdene would like to raise poodles and show them.

This professor's career has not been limited entirely to teaching. She was a lieutenant in the Com- munications Department of the Navy from 1943-1946, and was sta- tioned in New Orleans and San Francisco.

Margaret W. Pepperdene

Mrs. Pepperdene holds the B.S. degree from Louisiana State Uni- versity and the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Vanderbilt, where she also taught. In 1950-51 she was a Fulbright scholar at Queen's University of Belfast and was a Fellow in Dublin Institute for Ad- vanced Studies, Ireland, 1954-55. She was an assistant professor of English at Miami University, Ohio, from 1952-54.

Here at Agnes Scott, Mrs. Pep- perdene teaches Chaucer, English 211, and English 101. She is im- pressed with her students whom she considers a "very charming group of girls."

Students Select 25 For Service Group

Last week during house meet- ings the student body elected a Lower House representative from each hall or cottage. These girls were in charge of the Black Cat picnic and made the Siamese cat favors found on the cup cakes.

The Lower House members elected were: Judy Sawyer, Rose- mary Roberts, and Mary Hart Richardson from Inman; Sallie Meek, Caroline Mikell, Dolly Bates, and Eve Purdom from Rebekah; Jane Kraemer, Jane King, Martha Holmes, and Ann Rivers Payne from Walters; IJelene Lee and Sy- bil Strupe from Hopkins; Betty Cline, Nellie Strickland, and Anne Gilbert from Main; Ann Stein from McCain; Caroline Miller from Ansley; Caroline Phelan from Sturgis; Susie Ware and Eileen Graham from Hardeman.

Day Student representatives are Nancy Duvall for the freshman class, Suzanne McMillan for the sophomores, Phia Peppas for the juniors, and Emily Starnes for the senior class.

On October 17th, these Lower House members will hold a plan- ning retreat at Miss Scandrett's home from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m.

Scotties Import Favorite Beaux To Attend Black Cat Festivities

My, my, but wasn't it a busy week? The Eleanor Steber concert, skit practice, and song practice, with a little studying sandwiched between.

Friday finally arrived and even the weatherman cooperated to help make Black Cat better than ever. The class spirit was high, but the faculty, and particularly the faculty families, deserve a special bow for being such sports. Congratulations to the sophomores and freshmen on their lovely, winning songs, and to the older girls for their lovely, if non-winning songs.

In addition to the local boys at Tech and Emory, there were many "imports" invited to Black Cat. Boogie Helm, Peggy Edney, Betty Jean Meek, and Susan Purser pointed out the attractions of Agnes Scott and neighboring vicinity to some Davidson men. Suzanne Bai- ley and Martha Sharp explained some of the campus humor in the skits to their dates from the University of Florida, while Jean Porter showed the wonders of Black Cat to her FSU man.

It was amazing how the Black Cat party spirit and good will spread. Why Saturday night 'even the fraternities at nearby insti- tutions celebrated.

The Sigma Chis at Emory threw a big pajama party and invited many ASCites. Among those sporting stylish bed-time wear at the party were Lois Ann Barrineau, Kay Lamb, Rosemary Roberts, and Martha Akin. ^

A hayride Saturday night was the Emory Sigma Pi's tribute to the Black Cat weekend. Peggy Bradford, Frances Shepard, Frances Broom, Barbara Lake, and Peggy Britt journeyed out to Stone Mountain for the occasion.

Hayrides were quite popular this weekend. Ask Helen Burkitt, Claire Seaman, Eileen McCary, and Nancy Graves about the one the Emory Delta Tau Deltas had Saturday.

The Fair remained high on the list of amusements for Scotties last week. Nancy Christian, Nell Archer, Dot Huddleston, Sally Fuller, and Margaret Minter were attracted by the lights of the great mid- way, and they returned with incredible stories of sheep exhibits and the new roller coaster.

The yen to travel took Margaret Fortney, Betty Garrard, Jennie Grace Walker, and Irene Shaw to Auburn for a big weekend. Caro- line Miller attended the dance at PC, while Annette Teague saw USC stomp UNC at Columbia.

Anne Gilbert, alias Slip-along, alias George P., is now wearing the pin of a Delt at Emory. See what being in skits gets you, girls.

Because Black Cat is over, don't think "our revels now are ended." With Tech home games and IFC coming up we have just begun to revel.

Rally To Open Hockey Season; internationally . . Agenda Includes Riding, Dance

By Helen Hendry and Pat Stewart

The 1956 Hockey Season will be officially opened Thursday night, October 11, with a pep rally on the athletic field. All classes will attend led by their cheerleaders. Later all will join together for a marshmallow roast around a * bonfire. Social Committee is joining with A. A. to make this the best pep rally ever.

Riding- One of the fastest reviving sports at Agnes Scott is horse- back riding. Not since the days when Agnes Scott maintained her own stables has so much interest in riding been found on campus.

Under the management of Lue Roberts, twenty-seven girls are riding regularly at the Vogt Rid- ing Academy near Emory. They have their choice of one or two lessons a week out of a possible six.

The fee for two lessons a week per quarter is $27.00, and for one lesson a week per quarter the fee is $17.00. For single lessons the fee is $2.50 per hour.

A horse show is being planned now for Agnes Scott. This is an outgrowth of last year's exhibition. Square Dance

evening's entertainment will be- gin at 5:30 with supper in the Hub for the freshmen and their dates. Following this, the dance will be held at 8:00 p.m. in the gymna- sium.

Recreation and refreshments will be provided during the intermis- sions, and as a special feature, a group of professiona square dance exhibitionists from Atlanta will perform. This group proved to be the highlight of last year's fresh- man dance, and it is a treat to present them once again.

Dates for the dance will be ar- ranged if desired. Information slips concerning the dance will be passed out to all freshmen during this week, and freshmen are re- quested to signify whether or not they wish a date.

Many supporters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are skeptical when they hear Russia repeatedly pronouncing the fact that she has cut her armed forces by 1,200,000 men. Certainly, that is a large number, but without in- ternational inspection teams, how can we be sure?

Russia would be able to launch a third world war with much greater success if she did not have the NATO obstacle in her way. If NATO were out of the way Russia could conceivably have a war well under way be- fore the present allies could mo- bilize and join forces effectively. At it is now, Russia is surround- ed by NATO bases. She is the in- terior nation and can be hit from 360 degrees. This is a distinct dis- advantage in modern air war- fare, NATO should keep its ad- vantage.

Even so, it is doubtful at pres- ent that Russia would launch a

Since the Russians have chang- ed their policy to "peace" moves, it seems wise for the North At- lantic Treaty Organization to ex- pand its authority from purely military defense into the new kind of warfare that Russia is using economic and cultural warfare. It is imperative that NATO keep up with the times. To do so means to change and expand . . . not to expire.

Democratic Party Pledges Government for Everyone

The Democratic Party is the people's party. It is dedicated in principle and in practice to serving all the people and not just the special interests of the few. The record of the Demo- cratic Party has blazed across the nation always making a better, healthier, happier life for the common people of America.

Thomas Jefferson, founder of the Democratic Party, has said that we as Democrats identify ourselves with the people, "have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most sure depository of the public in- terests." The fight for the Bill of Rights was the event primarily responsible for bringing new life into the party. These rights, to- day, insure our freedom of reli- gion, speech and press, and guar- antee fair trials to those accused, thereby proving our belief in the inherent worth of man.

With high ideals in mind, the Democratic Party, during their August convention, chose Adlai E. Stevenson to lead them. It was in- evitable that a man with Steven- son's family heritage and instinct for public service should be drawn into politics, and the people of the United States are fortunate to have as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency an intellectual and practical man of wide exper- ience in national and international affairs.

Is his acceptance speech, Ste- venson said, "What this country needs is leadership and truth. And that's what we mean to give it." Basing all his actions on these principles, Adlai E. Stevenson now delves wholeheartedly into his campaign policies.

Presidential leadership has be- come one of the most important issues in the campaign. Woodrow Wilson, a great Democratic leader and one of our greatest Presi- dents, believed that the President is not only the Chief Executive but he must also be a strong lead- er of his party. This is extremely

Research Chemist Gets Fisher Award

Agnes Scott College takes parti- cular pleasure in recognizing a recent honor bestowed upon a man outstanding in the field of analytical chemistry.

Dr. John H. Yoe, director of the John Lee Pratt Trace Analy- sis Laboratory and professor of chemistry at the University of Virginia, has been named recipient of the Fisher Award in Analytical Chemistry. A frequent visitor to this campus, where he supervises research being carried on in the ASC chemistry department, Dr. Yoe is known as a teacher, writer and researcher in his field.

As a research analyst, he has made many important contribu- tions to the field of colorimetric analysis and has pioneered in the field of organic analytical re- ( Continued on Page 4)

important today when the "vastly expanded" role and powers of the President require a national lead- er who inspires confidence, advan- ces ideas, and is able to get sup- port from his party in Congress. Leadership and Cooperation must never be separated if the United States would continue to be a World Power.

Domestic policies are demanding more and more attention in the Presidential campaign of 1956. The Democratic Party, recogniz- ing the dangerous position of the little man with Big Corporations in alliance with Big Government, will continue to give Federal sup- port and financial aid to small business.

The farmer, too, should have high supports as a protection against severe price drops. Since February, 1951, net farm income is down almost 5 billion dollars, and farm costs have risen. The Democratic Party believes that with improved equipment and bet- ter farming methods, "surpluses (Continued on Page 3)

Political Fireworks To Precede Voting

Political fireworks will be seen on the Agnes Scott campus on Thursday, October 25, with a mock political campaign sponsor- ed by Mortar Board. Music of the Decatur High School band will launch the rally at 10:10 in Gaines chapel.

The Republican speaker, Mr. Randolph Thrower, will be intro- duced by Byrd Hoge. Marianne Gillis will introduce Mr. James Mackay, the Democratic speaker. There will be time at the begin- ning of the program and between speakers for excitement and de- monstrations.

Voting will take place in the lobby of Buttrick from 11 a.m. un- til 5:30 p.m., the result to be an- nounced shortly after the poll closes.

All students and faculty mem- bers are urged to attend the pro- gram and to vote. The rally is open to the public.

Republican Party Nation of Three-P Policy

"Peace, prosperity, and progress" is just as true today as it was four years ago. The Republican Party has four years at the helm of this great nation of ours. Our nation is enjoy- ing the greatest prosperity it has ever known, and that pros- perity is being enjoyed in the time of peace. The accomplish-

families have been relieved of paying any direct taxes. This cer- tainly has not hurt the "little man." The Republicans have given Americans the biggest tax break in history a $7.4 billion a year tax cut starting in 1954. This cut was made possible only by the great reductions in spending achieved by the Republican ad- ministration.

Each taxpaying family has re- ceived an average tax cut of $100 per year. The tax burden is now fairer to millions of Americans. The Republicans helped the "little man" by reducing personal income taxes 10 per cent for most tax- payers thus saving about three billion dollars. Excise taxes were cut on such articles as handbags, cosmetics, movies, household ap- pliances, etc.

The whole tax structure has been revised. Taxes have been re- duced by giving bigger medical deductions, special aid for work- ing mothers, retired people, par- ents with working dependents, partial relief against double taxa- tion of dividends, liberalized de- preciation rules, etc. Is this harm- ful to the "little man"? Further tax cuts are promised but they will be geared to the needs of our economy and not for the purpose of election year politics.

men!; of the Republican adminis- tration is a near-miracle in gov- ernment. Taxes are the lowest in years. Social Security, home build- ing expansion, health and educa- tion measures are the most pro- gressive in years.

The Republican Party has been accused of being the friend of big business. Is that true? Actually, wages are higher and work i6 more plentiful than before. Is that harmful to the "little man"? Wa- ges average nearly 13 per cent higher in peacetime 1955 than in wartime 1952. Strike losses in 1955 were down 53 per cent from 1952. The minimum wage was raised to $1, thereby directly af- fecting over two million workers and indirecjtly affecting millions more through influence on the general wage levels. Ike's program encouraging the employment of the physically handicapped has helped a quarter of a million han- dicapped workers secure jobs in the past year.

Glee Club Presents Program in Chapel

Today's convocation was a sa- cred program of music given by the Agnes Scott Glee Club, directed by Miss Roxie Hagopian. The en- tire chorus sang "Bless the Lord, O My Soul," "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," and "Ave Verum Cor- pus" by Mozart. A solo, "Come, Ye Blessed" by Scott, was sung by Trudy Florrid; Marty Slife and Emasue Alford sang "I Waited for the Lord," a duet by Mendels- sohn.

Christian Association's chapel program on Tuesday, October 23, was selected as part of this week's emphasis on participation in world affairs. Mrs. Robert Mac- Dougall, an Agnes Scott alumna active in civic organizations, spoke on the responsibility of wo- men in civic affairs.

On Friday, October 26, the Honorable James C. *Davis, Con- gressman from the Fifth District, will speak in chapel on "Aid to Foreign Nations."

Swamp Creatures Go to Polls; / Of] Pogo Plays Possum in Election

Although numerous bold headlines and flashy gimmicks brand this edition of "The Agnes Scott News" as one dedi- cated to the political scene in general and the mock campus election in particular, there is another timely matter which we of the staff feel we cannot overlook.

Last week was Honor Emphasis Week. During the some- what slimly-attended chapel period last Tuesday, Dr. Alston delivered a well-phrased "Perspective Upon the Honor System at Agnes Scott College." He told of the system's origin at the college fifty years ago and of its subsequent growth, strengthened by a larger grant of power given the student body by the administration in 1923. He mentioned other possible arrangements under which we as students and faculty could conceivably live and work together on a college campus; these included a system of "no regulations," a program ruled over entirely by the faculty and administra- tion, and an honor system that would govern academic hon- esty only.

Commenting upon Agnes Scott's unique Honor System, Dr. Alston pointed out that personal honor here plays a vital role outside as well as within the classroom. He spoke of the student's over-all purpose in coming to Agnes Scott College, her need to abide by the sensible and time-tested regulations established here, and her personal obligation to accept responsibility for others equally pledged to live under the Honor System.

Tuesday night housemeetings devoted time to discussion of the existing Honor System, its strong points and weak- nesses, and the areas in which clarification or a stricter policy of enforcement seemed advisable. Students appeared to take an active interest in the subject at hand and to offer justified criticism of the System. (To prove that such criticism is not peculiar to our campus, see Press Scripts this page.)

On Thursday, all new students signed the book as an act of pledging themselves to abide by the Honor System, while all other students renewed pledges formerly made. Thus, the students as a whole have again traditionally gone all out in favor of a unique way of living.

The Honor System is not something to be accepted com- placently and unthinkingly, just because tradition has estab- lished it at Agnes Scott. It cannot be merely a subject that is discussed freely one week and discarded the next. In order to be effective, it must truly become a way of life, embody- ing mature thought and action.

The question that remains, therefore, is: "Will it work?"

In light of past performance, the answer to that question lies with only one person the individual. D. R.

The following conversation was overheard in south Geor- gia in an area commonly known as the Okeefenokee. Take heed all you voters all you eighteen-year-olders and up and on.. Heed the words of the swamp creatures for there in the depth of the dark and deep they know.

In 1920, thirty-six years ago, women in the United States went to the polls to vote for the first time. This action was perhaps one of the most outstanding advances ' in democracy America had seen, for it gave the American women an op- portunity equal to that of the men, thus making it possible for the head of our government to be truly the people's choice.

On November 6, 1956, once again the American men and women will have the opportunity to vote for the President of the United States. How many will take advantage of that opportunity?

Our right to vote is part of our American heritage. It is our privilege to put into office whomever we desire whom- ever we feel is best qualified to guide our country's affairs. But besides being a privilege, our voting right carries with it responsibility. It is a responsibility to go to the polls and do our part in selecting a capable leader. If we cannot act the part of the American in voting, we have no right to complain about the leader the other voters choose.

On November 6, the polls await your vote! L. S/

The Johnsonian of Winthrop College reports on pre-mock elec- tion attitudes of the campus. A student poll showed that Steven- son had a slim lead. They feel that Eisenhower's health will hurt him in the election.

- A quest on from The Furman Hornet: "Is Working Honor Sys- tem Possible?" The opinion is that "a student is willing usually to mind his own honor, but re- fusjs to keep watch over his neighbor's business." The students are complaining because the pled- ge which they have to sign in- cludes that they have not seen others cheating.

are inevitable until population catches up with production." In the meantime, supports must pro- vide the necessary protection to the farmer.

Defense measures and our For- eign Policy are receiving a special emphasis by both parties now. Stevenson firmly believes that we must have a foreign policy that is positive, "consistent, and also comprehensible."

The pressure from other nations for an agreement to limit or stop nuclear tests is increasing every day and our present resistance to such an agreement is causing the foreign policy of the United States to suffer. The Democratic Party readily believes that our position in the eyes of the world would be strengthened if we could reach a defense agreement. Already our nuclear capability to destroy has developed to tremendous capaci- ties, and a limit on tests of hydro- gen weapons would be self-enforc- ing.

The Democratic Party with the ideal of government for all people has expanded opportunities and organized strength, growing al- ways, with the American nation. Our belief in the people has shaped Democratic thinking in every field of government. It was led to the belief that every citizen should have the chance to take an active part in politics. It has based its foreign policy on a sincere con- cern for the people of every other nation in the world. And it has worked to insure the dignity of man and the freedom of mankind.

This above all for, in the words of Woodrow Wilson, "... I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich na- tion that had ceased to be in love with liberty. We shall not be poor if we love liberty."

should be limited to avoidance of extreme tendencies in the business cycle, to protecting the public against harmful practices, and to ensuring adequate protection for individuals against hazards of a risk economy." The Republican Party firmly believes in private enterprise, and upon this belief it builds its economic policies.

The farm problem is one of sur- pluses which, in a free market, cause the farmer's prices to de- crease. In 1953, the Administra- tion was attacked for falling prices, but they had been falling since 1951 under the inherited law. Again the Republicans were attacked for price declines in 1954; however their new policy of flex- ible price supports designed to reduce crop surpluses did not go into effect until 1955.

In the Gallup Polls of May 13 and 29 of this year, the farmers favored Ike 61-39 per cent. Export of farm commodities has increas- ed 11 per cent since 1953; farm- ers have received new tax bene- fits; Social Security protection was extended to more than 5 mil- lion farm families and workers.

The Republican Party is a friend to the farmer. It has done everything it could to alleviate the farmers' problems and is on the way to solve them . . . but it takes time. An overnight change would be disastrous.

The United States is stronger today in military strength than at any time since World War EE. The Republican policy prepares for a long period of uncertainty instead of a series of arbitrarily-assumed dates of possible attacks. The re- serve system has maintained ade- quate manpower with minimum disruption to civilian life and economy while modern research in weapons has permitted a shift

from manpower to weapon power. A prosperous economy easily con- vertible to war has been main- tained, while it has cut defense costs by $10 billion.

The American people have con- fidence in president Eisenhower's judgment as to what constitutes adequate derense strength. The Republicans have been criticized for not having the same number of weapons and men that the Rus- sians have. However, it is danger- ous to play the "numbers racket" because the security problems of the United States are very differ- ent from those of the Soviet Union. There is no logical reason for specific program comparison. Democratic Senator Ellender said in May, 1956 that "the President knows more about military affairs than any of his critics." One might add that he knows more than many of his proteges.

It was the Republican Party that gave American women the right to vote. It has followed this step up by making room for many women in the political realms of government. The first woman elected to the U. S. House in 1916 was a Republican. Today, the one woman in the Senate is a Repub- lican. Since the Republicans came into power in 1953 more women have been appointed to high-level Government posts than during any other administration in history.

Not only does the Republican Party recognize the importance of having women in politics, but it also recognizes the need of urg- ing the youth of America to be interested in the affairs of the nation. The Gallup Poll of May 26, 1956 showed that young voters from the age of 21 to 29 favor Ike 63-37 per cent. The young people favor a party which takes youth into consideration and recognizes the fact that the youth of today are the leaders qf tomorrow.

So, as young women voters . . . vote REPUBLICAN-

War Eagles, Raindrops Scalp Scotties Curls at Tech Game

Flash . . . word has just been received that Ramona Cartwright is returning to Agnes Scott after her extensive European tour. While abroad Ramona attended Princess Grace's wedding, and was then caught up in the mad social whirl of continental parties. Ramona plans to continue her studies in knitting and advanced bridge.

As for more routine matters, the Scotties were again belles of the Atlanta social life, proving that boys prefer girls of intelligence, looks, culture, poise, et cetera; and have you seen "The King and I?" Many freshmen enjoyed the hoedown given by AA Friday night. The decorations in the Hub were the most, particularly those au- thentic scarecrows. (This is what is known as a plug, Herman.)

Sara Margaret Heard, Becky Wilson, and Winkie Stockton found their entertainment a little more "citified" at the Chi Phi house at Emory Friday night.

The Tech-Auburn game was the big event in these parts Saturday. Pat Guynup, Karen Beall, Sid Howell, and Joann Hodge soaked up the rain and football at Grant field. Other sports enthusiasts who were breathless after Menger's 87 yard run were LaVonne Nalley, Anise Gann, and Trudy Florrid.

Celebrating the victory with the Betas Saturday night were Shirley Lawhorne, Peyton Baber, Beverly Rippard, and Margaret Goodrich.

Among the War Eagles at the Tech Sigma Nu house were several Hottentots. And how's that for a combination? Anne Blackshear, Cynthia Butts, Angelyn Alford, and Dee Dee Doan were there for the party.

The Sigma Chis headed eut to Robinson's for a gay get-to- gether and took Margaret Schilling, Gretchen Elliott, Sally Meek, Mary Jane Phaff, and Randy Norton with them for a real big time from all reports.

Cupid has been working overtime lately. Dee Ann Welch, Hazel Thomas King, Anna Avil, and Betty Lockhart have joined the en- gaged corps. Portia Strickland wears the shield of a Tech KA, Susan O'Neal received a PiKA pin last weekend. Don't these girls know how pins wear out one's clothes?

Congratulations to Nora Ann Simpson, KA Rose at Emory. Out-of-towners last weekend visited faraway and romantic spots. Grace Molineux toured up to Norfolk for a visit with a certain Naval Officer. Vanderbilt was the destination of Carolyn Cushman and Dot Martin, while Jean Porter went south to FSU.

Kay White gave a NC State boy a guided tour of the campus. Rumor has it that Kay would repeat this tour on request, just out of the kindness of her heart.

Sophomores, Juniors Hold Lead As Hockey Season Progresses

A spectacular field-long drive followed by a quick shot from the right by inner Jorie Muller racked up the winning goal in the Sophomore's 2-1 victory over the Seniors last Friday. The Juniors also claimed laurels in a 2-0 win over a relatively inexperienced but determined Freshman team.

Spectators were kept on edge

in the Senior-Soph tilt as the two sister classes, exhibiting well- matched prowess, see-sawed the ball from one end of the field to the other. In the first minutes of the game, the upperclassmen gained early control of the ball, and drove relentlessly through their opponents' defense to the goal circle. A hard drive from right wing Betsy Crapps gave the Seniors a 1-0 lead.

Mustering strength, the Soph halfs slowed the Senior onslaught, while the forward line began in- vasion of the Yellows' territory. Senior goalie Pennie Smith played an excellent defensive game, block- ing one after another of the Soph- omore drives. However, inner Pat Lenhardt placed one of her well- known scoops, and the score was tied, WL

The second half continued as fast and furious as the first. Both defenses proved strong and suc- ceeded is keeping the ball away from their respective goals. The half was marked by penalties on both teams, and neither side dis- played the strategy and team- work evident earlier in the game.

In a burst of energy the Senior forwards had crashed the Soph backfield and were threatening to score, when in the remaining few seconds of the game, Soph center Ruth Currie drove out to inner Muller for the exciting score that clinched the win for the Sopho- mores.

The hardy Juniors found worthy opponents in the class of "60", who, though failing to score, play- ed a commendable defensive game against their hard-driving sister class. During both halves, most of the action centered in the middle of the field. The freshman for- wards failed to break through the

stalwart Junior backfield many times, but the Junior front line proved more successful.

Two or three times the Junior forwards held the ball at the feet of Frosh goalie Laura Parker and were continually kept from scor- ing by the latter. Finally, in the last seconds of the half, center Jo Sawyer dodged her way to the Freshman goal and drove in the first score to put the Juniors on top, 1-0.

The second half saw the upper- classmen driving to increase their gain while the Freshmen resumed the role of defender. Although this game did not provide the constant thrills of the Senior-Soph tilt, spectators responded enthusiasti- cally as the Juniors displayed marked improvement over last week's playing and the Freshmen showed definite signs of a strong and threatening team. The climax of the last half came when inner Joan St. Clair drove through to score the Juniors' second and last goal.

Next week's games line up the Seniors and the Freshmen, while the Juniors meet the Sophs. At present the Sophomores hold the number one rating followed close- ly by the second-place Juniors. The Seniors are third and the Fresh- men fourth. The Sophomores claimed their first win last week over the Freshman team. The Ju- nior rating was diminished last week when the Seniors held them to a scoreless tie.

Water Babies Train For Annual Contest

Class swimmers are now train- ing for the annual class swim meet to be held Wednesday eve- ning, October 31. The contest will include races, relays of vari- ous sorts and exhibitions of form and diving. Students axe urged to support their respective classes at this meet which is always one of the most exciting competitive events of the quarter.

The "Water Baby" project is also well under way at this time. To be a "Water Baby," swimmers must earn ten safety pins by swimming one hour or ten laps for each pin. So far only three par- ticipants have completed the pro- ject, and it is hoped that other students will take advantage of this chance to get in some good exercise as well as gain extra athletic points.

Plunge periods are always open for the benefit of the campus. Students 'may swim from 4-5, Monday through Thursday of every week, and on Wednesday synchronized swimming is offered to all who are interested.

Having had no former connec- tion with the Church, Templeton experienced a distinct conversion. Resigning his position on the newspaper, he traveled as an itinerant evangelist under the Church of the Nazarene for three years. He returned to Toronto in 1941 to organize and serve as minister for the Avenue Road Church.

In his work, Dr. Templeton holds Evangelistic Missions, lectures on evangelism in seminaries, addresses denomi- national conventions and General Assembly meetings, holds Mis- sions on campuses, and addresses ministerial associations.

Dr. Templeton was born in To- ronto, Ontario, Canada, and was widely known in the Canadian sports circles for his skill in foot- ball, basketball, track and field. After a brief study in drawing, he became, at the age of seventeen, sports cartoonist of the Toronto Globe. For four years "Chuck after addin S a ^Hery.

The church was rebuilt and soon a total of 4,500 people attended the three Sunday services each week, according to the Maclean's Magazine.

Seniors Grow Up, Become 'Big Girls'

Replacing the traditional "Little Girls' Day." the class of '57 will initiate "E:g Girls' Day," Friday, November 2. Water pistols and baby toys will be forsaken for less vigorous forms of activity, as the seniors take their final "fling" before Investiture ceremonies.

Festivities will begin in the dining hall at breakfast and will continue through chapel. Featured in the chapel program, directed by Jo Ann Beasley and Helen Sewell, will be events of the past, present and future.

In carrying out the new theme, the seniors will don more "sophis- ticated" dress than the shorter attires of former years. Climaxing the day's program will be a picnic lunch in the recreation room of Walter's Hall.

Delegates To Attend Athletic Convention

Shorter College campus will be the scene of the annual Georgia Athletic Federation for College Women (G.A.F.C.W.) convention to be held Friday through Sunday, November 2-4. Eight students will represent the A.S.C. Athletic As- sociation at the meeting.

Theme for this year's conven- tion is "The Sky Is - the Limit." The talks and discussions revolv- ing around the theme will serve as a guide to help Athletic Asso- ciation members to better their in- dividual groups.

A. A. secretary Judy Nash, two- year delegate to the G.A.F.C.W. council, will head the A.S.C. dele- gation at the convention. Others planning to attend are Pat Len- hardt, Jorie Muller, Kay Weber, Mary Dunn, Ruth Currie, Leonice Davis and Katherine Jo Freeman.

Native Alabaman Teaches Physical Chemistry, Finds Hockey, Campus Enthusiasm Stimulating

Foliage of red sumac trees mingle with the gold of tower- ing sycamores in the hills of north Georgia. A blue sky cushions wisps of clouds overhead. Birds call to each other from within the forest, and soaring into the air, begin their flight southward.

In the valleys below lie fields of dry brown corn stalks, white bolls of cotton and bright plump pumpkins. A chill is in the air. Autumn is here.

This is the time of bright colors and cool breezes; the time for Halloween, jack-o-lanterns and black cats. Autumn means piles of colored leaves, bonfires and good cheer. Moreover, it means a time for reaping the year's final harvest.

Amid the fall splendor this coming weekend, Agnes Scott's seniors will take part in a tradition of long-standing at the college. At the Saturday noon service, each girl will be "capped" with a mortar board, symbolizing her relationship to the college as a member of its senior class.. This is a solemn service, in which individuals are "invested" with the privileges and responsibilities of seniorhood.

For three years, the present senior class has been looking forward to this important occasion. Sowing their seed in the first months of their freshman year, the class has grown and prospered during their stay at the college. Now at last, at the time of Investiture, the class may begin to reap a por- tion of the harvest that is theirs.

College friends, parents, and other students gathering to witness this weekend's services may well wish for the class a bountiful harvest. D. R.

It seems that Agnes Scott has a special attraction for for- mer lieutenants of the U. S. Navy, Dr. Charles Vail, new Associate Professor of Chemistry, served two and a half years active duty aboard the U. S. S. Invade during World War II. Despite its rather ominous name, the ship never left Norfolk and Yorktown waters, but was

used exclusively in the training of our men for mine-sweeping.

As officer in charge of the ac- tual operation, Dr. Vail gained his first teaching experience there. His happiest memories of these years are of the BIG, juicy steaks he enjoyed regularly.

A native of Bessemer, Alabama, the professor attended Birming- ham Southern College where he and his wife first met. Dr. and Mrs. Vail are no strangers to At- lanta, for after his graduation from B. S. C, they resided in the Dogwood City while he worked toward his M. A. and Ph. D. degrees at Emory University.

Dr. Vail has done work for the Southern Research Institute in Birmingham, and has taught at Armstrong College in Savannah and at Coker College in Harts- ville, S. C, where he was head of the Chemistry Department. His real love is physical chemistry, which he is teaching at A. S. C, in addition to a course in advanced analytical chemistry.

The Vail family includes two daughters: Julie, eight, who is a third-grader at Winnona School

and L se, four. Their father says that Sunday afternoons are ''fam- ily time" at their house since it is the only afternoon he has free.

Dr. Vail lists 'tinkering" with old clocks and hiking as his two big interests outside the realm of chem stry. At present he is at work repairing an old grandfather clock. Of hiking he says: "At the

Do you realize that one person is killed every thirteen minutes in automobile accidents, while someone is injured every twenty-three seconds? At that rate one hundred and five people are killed every day and three thousand seven hundred are injured. Moreover, the age group from 18-24 seems to be the most prone to accidents. These statistics should indicate the importance of careful driving while driv- ing yourself or while riding with someone else.

Most students are aware and have been aware of the terri- ble accident rates. Yet it never hurts to warn. Hardly a year goes by at Agnes Scott that some student has not been in- volved in a serious accident. These accidents seem to occur during the part of the year when the weather is rainy and the roads are slippery. Don't let the next casualty be you!

The Administration is very concerned about students in cars. They feel responsible for us and want to help prevent accidents if possible. By signing out when riding in a car, the Dean's Office can know with whom you are riding. Through an application for permission to leave cars on campus, the student is able to realize what responsibility she has un- dertaken. We are responsible for what happens when we are in cars. It is up to us to slow down a person who drives too fast or not carefully. After all the driver is endangering our own lives as well as his.

Let's have a safe year with everyone back on campus! J. F.

Dr. Vail commented that those things which- have most impressed him about the campus are "the dynamic and real college spirit w hich seems to be couched in such a fine religious atmosphere, the enthusiasm with which everybody works and plays, and the hockey games outside my office window."

Chrysanthemums,Frat Badges Brighten Weekend Festivities

In the annals of social history, the weekend of October 27 will be marked with an asterisk, and perhaps even underlined, to signify to succeeding generations a Big, Big Weekend.

Homecoming was the password as Scotties filed through the portals of the D. O. for various collegiate destinations. There were many 4t wide open spaces" and sleepy freshmen, poor souls with no cuts, in classes Saturday, and the dining hall had a gross of hard and mediums left over due to those who prefer sleep to nourishment. Davidson's Homecoming had a magnetic attraction for many Scott folk. Jean Clark, Sue Lile, Jill DeBardeleben, Dee Harvley, and Boogie Helm were among those who made the journey to that Presbyterian institution. Also in the mass exodus to Davidson were Ann Selph, Jane King, Liz Shumaker, Beverly Delk, Peggy Edney, and Lillian Shannonhouse. Susan Purser's trip was particularly profitable for she returned to Atlanta with a Davidson man's Phi Delt pin.

Also partying in North Carolina were Wardie Abernethy at Germans at UNC, and Sandra Dickerson at Duke. Cynthia Butts toured up to Washington and Lee for the weekend, and closer to home was Mary Crook at Auburn. Dannie Reynolds took in the Big Thursday game between Clemson and USC at the State Fair.

Susie Ware, Hazel Ellis, Jan Matheson, Roxana Speight were entertained royally at Homecoming at Georgia. Dot McLanahan, Helene Lee, and Peggy Conine were also on hand to see Kentucky edge Georgia.

The weather was perfect for the Tech Homecoming observances Saturday. Anne Dodd, Phyllis Cox, Nancy Edwards, Emily Parker, and Margaret Benton were decked in their most becoming sport- viewing outfits .for the game. Others seeing Tulane fall apart under the might of Tech were Pat Gover, Carolyn Barker, Nancy Bowers, Curt Swords, and Mary Helen Collins.

At the dance Saturday night to celebrate the magnificent victory were Anne Terry, Sara Brown, Martha Bethea, Caroline Phelan, and Nell Archer. Lucy Cole, Judy Sawyer, Pat Lenhardt, and Mar- tha Starrett also danced to the music of Billy May.

At Emory Friday night for the IFC sing were Sissy Hurley, Peggy Britt, Carol Promnitz, Hope Weathers and Kay Weber. Also present as the Delts and Sigma Chis won first places were Sara Lu Persinger, Helen Milledge, Shirley Spackman and Becky Wilson.

Pins, pins, pins. KAs at Tech pinned Al Coldwell and Helen Culpepper. Joyce Skelton is now adorning her clothes with a luffly Beta pin of a Tech graduate. Achievement of the week award goes to Byrd Hoge who became Mrs. Jim Bryan on Saturday. Byrd flew home after her excellent introduction of Mr. Thrower in chapel Thursday. How's that for cool, calculated maneuvering from school to politics to marriage?

In 1948 Templeton enrolled at Princeton Theological Seminary. During the three years at that institution he served as interim- minister of Presbyterian churches in Philadelphia and in Trenton, New Jersey. He also conducted a number of evangelistic campaigns. After being ordained by the Pres- byterian Church U. S. A. in 1951, Dr. Templeton was elected to his present position.

Mrs. Templeton, mezzo-soprano soloist and former winner of the "California Hour" vocal contest, met her husband while studying voice at the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studios in Hollywood. She accompanies Dr. Templeton in his work which carries him through every state in the union, every province in Canada, Mexico, and ten European countries.

"It is my hope," explains Dr. Templeton, "that a balanced and vital evangelism freed from the excesses that have made it un- popular in the past, may be re- turned to the heart of the Church:"

Juniors Defeat Sophomores To Hold Top Place! Pi Alpha Phi Initiates Season As Hockey Teams Enter Second Round of Play At Alabama University Meet

"Resolved: That the United States should discontinue di- rect economic aid to foreign nations." With this topic, Pi Alpha Phi opens the fall debating season this weekend at the annual discussion tournament to be held at the Universi- ty of Alabama.

The camera catches a moment of tense action during a crucial game.

In this year's most crucial game the Juniors defeated the excellent Sophomore team Friday 2 to L The vastly improved Freshman team battled the crippled Seniors to a 6 to 0 tie.

Friday's game between the Juniors and Sophomores was the crucial game of the season, for the once tied Juniors had to win this one in order to pass the so far victorious Sophomores.

The determined Sophomores be- gan the game with a breath- taking drive in the first minute cf play that met with no organ- ized opposition and placed the Sophomores ahead 1 to 0, with Pat Lenhardt scoring. The Juniors rallied sufficiently to prevent any further score by the fired up Sophomores. In the last part of the first half, the Juniors threatened seriously to score only to be stopped by a nervous Sopho- more's catching the ball and throwing it away.

The opening of the second half saw a new Junior team. Fired by the audience who never sat down during the exciting second half, the Juniors abandoned their cau- tious playing and began to break through the Sophomore defense. Amid mass confusion at the Soph- omore goal, Jo Sawyer sneaked the ball in to tie up the score 1 to 1.

The Sophomores made one more attempt to score which was fouled by the Junior goalie. The Juniors were on fire and the ac- tion was fierce throughout with the Sophomore defense strength- ening against the Junior offense.

The Juniors once more drove the ball to the Sophomore goal. Goalie Nancy Turner found her- self alone fighting against almost the entire Junior team. Again Jo Sawyer flipped the ball in to put the Juniors ahead 2 to 1. The game ended with that score.

In comparison to the Junior- Sophomore game, the Senior- Freshman game was noticeable for its absence of tension. The Seniors, crippled by the absence of Penny Smith, Margie DeFord, and Helen Hendry, found a worthy opponent in the Freshmen who turned in their best game to date.

Val Edwards and Boo, Flor- ance led the Freshman offensive back up by Ruth LeRoy and Barbara Specht. The crippled

Seniors stopped the attack and quickly returned the ball to the Freshman goal where they threat- ened seriously to score. Carolyn Herman and Sheila MacConochie sparked the Senior drive.

The last half had the appear- ance of a practice. There seemed to be a complete lack of tension on both sides. Again scoring threats by each team were stopped by the haphazard defense and many errors. The game was noted by its many deep scoring threats, but neither team was able to push the ball past the opposition's goalie. The game ended scoreless.

As a result of Friday's games, the Juniors are now ahead follow- ed closely by the Sophomores, and then the Seniors and Freshmen in that order. Thus week's contests will open the second round of play with the Seniors tackling the Juniors and the Sophomores play- ing the Freshmen.

Annual McKinney Book Award Encourages Student Collection

Each year the Louise McKinney Book Award of twenty- five dollars is given to the Agnes Scott student who, in the opinion of the judges, acquires during the current year from May to May the most interesting and discriminating personal library and who reveals understanding of her books.

To be eligible for the award

a collection must contain at least fifteen books. These may be in- expensive editions or secondhand books; it is . expected,, however, that the collector will choose as a foundation for a lasting library, the best standard editions and well made books in good condi- tion. For information concerning the best inexpensive editions of standard works, collectors might consult librarians, faculty mem- bers, and publishers. A collection may contain gifts, but the whole collection is expected to give evi- dence of the collector's own ini- tiative and discriminating choice. In whatever way books are ac- quired, they shoud represent the owners tastes, either in several fields of interest such as fic- tion, biography, philosophy poetry, drama, history, art or music or in one special field.

The winner of the award is ex- pected to use it for some kind of intellectual or artistic enricr- ment; buying books, pictures, or

Book collectors should enter the contest as soon as possible. The names of the contestants must be handed to some members of the English department by the end of the fall quarter. In May, before the beginning of the spring quar- ter examinations, the book collec- tions will be examined by a com- mittee of judges and the book owners informally interviewed concerning their books. The name of the winner of the award will be announced at commencement.

Senora Ortega, known in pri- vate life as Mrs. Joseph A. Bill- ings, was born in Mexico of par- ents of French and Spanish des- cent? Before becoming an instruc- tor at Corpus Christi College, she taught at the University of Mexi- co and at Mexico City College.

She has long been interested in collecting Mexican folk songs. In order to collect these songs, she has visited homes in remote sec- tions of her native land and has made numerous recordings of the villagers singing their ballads and dance songs.

Campus To Review Segregation Issue

During the week November 12- 16 Agnes Scott chapel programs will emphasize several phases of the segregation issue.

Mr. Robert B. Troutman, Sr., an outstanding constitutional law- yer from Atlanta, will discuss the legal aspect of the issue. He will talk on "The Supreme Court De- cision on Segregation in the Pub- lic Schools" in Gaines Chapel on Tuesday, November 13.

A factual report on "What Has Happened Since the Supreme Court Decision on Segregation in Public Schools?" will be given by Mr. Ralph McGill, editor of the "Atlanta Constitution," at Con- vocation on November 14.

Dr.- Wallace M. Alston will view the Christian aspect of the prob- lem when he speaks in chapel on Thursday, November 15. His topic will be "A Christian Faces Seg- regation in the South."

Cotillion To Sponsor College Open House

The Cotillion Club will act as hostess to the entire campus com- munity for an informal "come as you are" open house this Sunday night, November 11, from 10:00- 11:00 p.m. in the recreation room of Walters Hall. Everyone is in- vited to come for coffee and doughnuts and a relaxing get-to- gether before starting a new week.

Sara Margaret Heard and Jackie Rourrtree are in charge of the party.

Blackfriars To Stage Medley Of Scenes From Famous Ploys

On Tuesday night, November 15, Blackfriars will bring to Agnes Scott something new and different. They will pre- sent a program of not just one play, but scenes from six famous plays!

For many years, the Agnes Scott Blackfriars group has wanted to produce such plays as

"Pygmalion," "The Glass Mena- gerie," "The Taming of the Shrew," "Blythe Spirit," "Cyrano de Bergerac," and 'Our Town." However, lack of time and a na- tural scarcity of men prohibited the fulfillment of these desires.

Now, through a kind of produc- tion entirely new to Agnes Scott, they will give one well-loved or well-known scene from each of these plays. This plan not only gives many Blackfriars members a chance to participate, but it also practically guarantees that every person in the audience will find something which appeals to him.

From "Pygmalion," George Ber-

nard Shaw's famous play, the par- ty will be given, in which Eliza, the flower girl, is introduced to society as a duchess. In a tragic scene from Tennessee William's "The Glass Menagerie," the crip- ple, Laura, hopefully receives her first gentleman caller. The "kiss- me-Kate" scene from "The Tam- ing of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare, and the balcony scene from "Cyrano de Bergerac" by Emond Rostard, will be fami- liar to the audience.

The excerpt from Noel Co- ward's "Blythe Spirit" will be the final seance scene when Ma- dam Arcati, the medium, deals with the problem of unwelcome (Continued on Page 3)

Jack Powell will star in title role of "Cyrano de Bergerac" during Blackfriars' November 15th production "This The Theater."

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, November 7, 1956

A few weeks ago, this campus observed Honor Emphasis Week. Among the features of the week was a period of lively discussion during Tuesday night housemeeting in the dormi- tories. These discussions brought to light several ;deas for improving or at least clarifying the System.

It was following one of these discussions that a prominent member of Student Government made what proved to be a bold announcement. She stated that "The Agnes Scott News" would print the following week, a perspective and resume of the Honor System at the college as prepared by Student Government and at least one member of the admini- stration.

That article has never appeared in this paper. Why?

Despite incessant urging on the part of this staff, Student Government never completed the draft it promised to make. One deadline passed and then another. Three issues of the paper have now appeared, and still no apparent action has been taken.

Last week, as a means of publicizing the topic of Thurs- day's Student Meeting, Student Government requested that the "News" print a small news item.. Again a deadline passed and no copy appeared.

After all other news items and features had been processed and prepared for the printers, a type-written sheet found its way to the editor's desk. This was the original copy of the "Poor Wives' Column." Not having time to consider the ef- fects, psychological or otherwise, that such an item might have on the members of the student body, this paper printed the article verbatim.

Students Protest Action of Student Government Regarding Thorough Campus Room Inspection

To the editor, "The Agnes Scott News":

"Attention, prospective wives. Have you cleaned your rooms this week?" A ridiculous opening to an article about a ridiculous happening!

When I read that Student Government had undertaken the project of checking everyone's

room and then publicizing the names of girls with messy rooms, I felt like I was back in Brownie Scout Camp, where an inspection every morning often resulted in demerits for some naughty little girlies! This stunt undermines the

injustice, that her privacy has been invaded, and that she is be- ing ridiculously treated like a child Secondly: in many cases, this is a tangible injustice, be- cause many times a messy room is due to a hard test and last-

ment, which is that each girl is a mature person who must shoulder her own responsibilities; and that when she fails to do so, she is helped to understand the necessi- ty of doing her part, rather than being set up as a public example before the student body.

If you are not the ideological sort, then there are also specific reasons why this is a very unsat- isfactory idea. First: psychologi-

Let it be stated that this paper does not believe in name calling. Due to the failure of Student Government to bring forth the requested article before the deadline required by

the "News" for processing and possible rewriting, the article /fif Qfnot lOnolly SpGOkillQ . .

was printed as it was received and suffixed with a note de- signed to direct any criticism where it might be due.

The past week has seen much objection voiced both openly and privately, to the manner in which Student Government presented this project. Such criticism is a healthy sign, for it shows an alert student body. Running the risk of making a mountain out of a mole hill, the "News" is . printing a num- ber of letters it has received concerning the item.

Student Government claims it did not intentionally em- barrass a number of individuals through unauthorized room inspection and dramatic name-calling. A chapel period was devoted in part to apologizing for any harm done to individual students.

Yet, the Student Government is open for criticism in its pattern of thinking. The complete neglect of a follow-up to Honor Emphasis Week, coupled with a period of investigation of minutiae, indicates one thing: a decidedly confused sense of values. D. R.

"Books are keys to wisdom's treasure; Books are paths that upward lead; Books are gates to lands of pleasure, Books are friends; come, let us read."

This inscription by Emilie Poulsson is found in the Child- ren's Reading Room in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. Books are indeed the keys that open up new worlds for anyone who takes the time to read. These are worlds that not only in- crease our knowledge but also greatly enrich our lives.

On our campus we have an excellent opportunity to start or add to our personal book collections through the Louise McKinney Book Award contest. This award "was establish- ed a number of years ago as a memorial to Miss Louise Mc- Kinney, professor emeritus of English, who, during her years of teaching, awakened in many Agnes Scott students a love of reading and delight in the ownership of books."

A recent winner of the Louise McKinney Book Award states what collecting books has meant to her: "Participating in the Louise McKinney Book Contest during the past two years has given me a keener sense of the value of good books and has made me want to own books which can give lasting pleasure and richness to my life. The contest in not only en- lightening: it is fun. Each collector is a winner, for she has her books which in themselves are prizes."

It goes without saying that a well-educated person is con- tinually in the process of building up or adding to his per- sonal library. This is because a well-educated person keeps on reading even after he has finished his formal education. The college years are an excellent time for one to form a nucleus for one's adult book collection.

As Vincent Starrett says: "When we are collecting books, we are collecting happiness." G.A.R.

or some other persons in authori- ty have, without announcement or permission, entered the rooms of students unknown to those stu- dents, observed the condition of those rooms, and published the results of those findings together with a list of "poor wives" in the college newspaper.

The survey of rooms for such purposes is a definite infringement on personal liberties, especially in the light of the fact that this pro- ject was a complete secret to the student body as a whole. Had "good housekeeping" been stress- ed at a previous date to the en- tire college community, there would perhaps have been justifi- cation for procedure of this sort. Yours truly,

Miz Scott's Book of Manners List Rules for Ghurls To Follow

A recent discussion and program in chapel on this past Thursday has brought up quite a bit of what one might call uproarious roaring. It is therefore our purpose and pri- vilege to continue the roaring within this article, which we would like to call: Meditations on Manners For Miz Scott's Ghurls.

We shall discuss, this week, manners that can be applied to weekends away from school and home, during which we are con- stantly representing Miz Scott's School for Ghurls. The first of these rules is:

Take plenty of clean, clean clothes. Your hostess will object to the shade of your costume if she can detect it is caused by grit and grime instead of the newest dyes from the vats of Dior and 69. This rule is slowly going out be- cause this year's colors are just plain dingy, dirty, and spilled- spaghetti looking.

Take a toothbrush. The small son of your hostess might object to your brushing with his only good shoe polisher, even if the color is white and the shoes are old.

Take safety pins. Table manners are not neces- sary unless you are going to De- catur. It seems that every other section of the country has gone progressive, using paper plates, wooden spoons, paper napkins, a community glass, and the get it when you can plan for serving and disposing. So there- Take aspirin your hostess might need some.

Take a hat. It will always come in handy when you play charades. The hostess' dog might also enjoy a new bowl for his dogfood and nipples.

Take a friend. Extra boys al- ways come in handy when the blind date decides he isn't so blind after all and goes out with the cute girl next door. This polrcy of coming well prepared will save your hostess lots of embarrass- ment and fatigue if she can't find anyone to take you out. If you are sure your date will show up, you can always leave your extra friend at home for the evening to entertain the parents and family, and dogs.

Take along your rubber gloves or your kitchen maid. You might be expected to wash dishes or mop floors.

Take along your books. Since you are representing Miz Scott's School for <~#iurls, you will be ex-

pected to study during the dance and the football game.

It would also be wise to take your ginger ale, coca cola, root beer, sasparilla, royal crown, grape juice, termater juice, or pineap- ple squeezins in case you get thir- sty. Water is no longer served at parties and it is wise to go pre- pared.

But most of all, take along your cheery personality, your charming self, your suitcase full of dining hall cookies, your shining face, your bright eyes, and your loving heart. You will be welcomed with open ' arms as long as everyone knows you read Miz Scott's rule book before you burned it.

Delegates To Attend Press Convention

Journeying to Cleveland, Ohio, this weekend to attend the an- nual convention of the Associated Collegiate Press will be six Agnes Scott representatives. Gene Allen Reinero, Lang Sydnor and Barbara Varner will represent "The Agnes Scott News," while Becky Barlow, Carlanna Linda- mood, and Emily Starnes will be delegates from the "Silhouette" staff.

The ACP meetings, will be held Friday and Saturday, November 9 and 10, and will include speech- es, discussion groups and work- shops dealing with the purposes and problems of the collegiate press.

ghosts. And the curtain will ring down on a scene from "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder, in which Emily's spirit leaves the world of the dead to return to Grovers Corners.

The title of the entire program is "This The Theater." This name was selected as the result of a contest which was held among the Blackfriars members.

The male roles will be played by Atlanta actors. Aiding in the production will be Jack Tillford, a professor at Emory; Robert Shanley and Wendell Brown, pro- fessors at Oglethorpe University; Zenas Sears of Radio Station WAOK; Thomas Jack Powell, an emory graduate; Jonathon Phelps, a director and actor from Atlan- ta; Ray McKinty, a member of the Emory Players; Preston Char- les of Radio Station WAGA; Tom Barnette, a student at Georgia State College for Business Admi- nistration; and Peter Mettam and Barry Collins, two Englishmen* from Lockheed. All of these have much experience in acting.

Catherine Hodgin and Gene Allen Reinero are heading the scenery committee; Emily Gill- ham and Frances Sattes, the cos- tume committee; Mary Grace Garret, the make-up committee; and Nora King, the program com- mittee. Carol Pike is chairman of the publicity committee and Kay- Weber is her co-chairman. Nancy Flagg and Jo Ann Beasley are in charge of the sound and props, while Caro McDonald is managing the lights. Pat Guynup is in charge of the house and Marilyn Tribble is the stage manager.

There will be four judges on hand to judge which Blackfriars member does the best acting. The decision will not be announced at the performance, but will in- fluence the awarding of the Ben- nett Cerf Trophy for the Year's Best Actor in April. The judges will be Mrs. H. Clay .Lewis, who was a Blackfriars member at Agnes Scott in 1934; Miss Dean Dickens of Station WAGA-TV; Miss Helen Strickland; and Mrs. Alton Hobgood, Professor of Dra- ma at Georgia Tech.

Football, Investiture Highlight Weekend of Varied Activities

"Football' or "Investiture" were the Key words in many a Scotty's social vocabulary this past weekend. Our respected "elders," the Sen- iors, received an influx of visitors and made merrie near home, while their younger, flightier sisters headed for the "ivy covered walls" (and stadium) of distant scholastic centers.

Duke, of course, was the major attraction of the loyal Tech tans Who traveled North to wateh a real pigskin thriller. Betty Cline, Sandra Dickerson, Jean Slade, Ann Scoggins, Shirley Lawhorne, Lesley Sevier, and Frances Gwinn watched the Jackets pull out ahead in a close one,

Homecoming activities at other schools beckoned alluringly, too. Suzanne Bailey, Mary Clayton Bryan, and Anne Selph soaked up vitamin D at the University of Florida's big game. At Sewanee Libby ilanna, Mary Jane Pickens, Barby Sinclair, and Margaret Woolfolk took part in the social activities of the Episcopal institution. Betty Gzeckowicz, Nancy Kimmel, and Julian Preble traveled to tlemson for the festivities there. The cadets at Westapolis crowned Ramona Cartwright as their Homecoming queen.

Meanwhile, hack in Atlanta the Long weekend promised by the sAE's attracted many Scott ies. Judy George, Jody Armbreeht, Billie Kainey, and Betty Lewis "housepartied" it up at Tech. Special Congrats go to Sara Margaret Heard, who Was named as the sweetheart of this renowned group. Orchids also to Hope Weathers, the proud recipient of an ATO pin from Emory.

"May in November" weather proved enticing to those enjoying the hayride given by another Emory fraternity, the Betas. Betty Cobb, Ann Harvey, Melba Cronenberg, Isabella Strait and Dee Harvley were among those who counted the stars.

Back at Tech, those "fresh air hoys," the Kappa Sigs, sponsored a picnic at which Jill Debardeleben, Renee Shenk, and Libby Hanson were royally entertained. Linda Dancy, Ann Whisnant, Grace Ro- bertson, Jo Flowers, and Nancy Grayson took in an evening's fun with the Phi Gams. Another, engineering clan, the Phi Kappa Al- pha's invited Margaret Rice, May Chism, and Portia Strickland for food and fellowship.

Other attractions Resides frat parties also held the social spotlight. "War and Peace" continued to lure hoards of Scotties. Seen during the seventh inning stretch of this lengthy spectacle were Becky Wilson, Alice Miller, Sue Lile, Susan Hogg, "Tissie" Rogers, and Martha Davis.

Jimsie Oeland, V. A. Redhead, and Jackie Murray sported out-of- town gentlemen and accompanying "flows'' last weekend, which all goes to prove that Spring is not the only season conducive to romance.

Juniors Remain in First Place As Freshmen Beat Sophomores

The mighty Juniors retained the coveted top rating by de- feating the Seniors 2-1 in the hockey games last Friday, while the Freshmen scored a surprising 1-0 upset over the second place Sophomores.

In the Sr. Jr. tilt the staunch pink team had little trouble in capturing early possession of

tha ball. The fast-clicking junior forwards twice raced through the Senior backs during the first min- utes of the game to grapple for the ball inches from the goalie cage. Each time the Senior backs led by Sara Townsend and Martha Akin rebuffed the Junior on- slaught.

By accident three or four mis- aimed Senior drives actually went toward their defended goal rather than away. Finally, through a mass of jumbled players, a drive by center Jo Sawyer bounced through to the Senior goal giving the Juniors a 1-0 lead in the mid- dle of the first half.

Gathering stamina from this early success, the Juniors made another long unbroken march to the Senior scoring zone, and there threatened a repeat performance for minutes until a hard shot by inner Nancy Edwards skimmed past goalie Smith for the Juniors second and last score.

Returning to the field after the half, the apparently unshaken Se- niors met their opponents with cries of "Rejuvenation!" For once, the strong Junior line was shoved to second place, and during the last half, the game proved a battle between an aggressive Senior front and the Junior backfield.

A long, hard drive from the side by centei 4 Carolyn Herman landed in the goal to make tht Senior threat more definite. Trailing by one point, the Seniors vainly struggled to tie their tenacious foes.

Crippled by the loss of goalie Nancy Turner, the skillful Sopho- more team, close rivals of the first place Juniors, met their second defeat of the season in a 1-0 de- feat by the upcoming Freshman

Dominating the first half, the Soph forwards, led by center Ruth Currie and inner Pat Lenhardt, carried the ball within scoring dis- tance time and again but seemed unable to successfully pierce through the determined Frosh J)ackfield.

The second half saw the Frosh power climbing. Though the game did not present the "scoring zone" thrills found in the Senior-Junior match, the teamwork and the spacing was on the whole better. As the Frosh took the offensive, Sophomore backs Runita McCurdy and Kay Weber stepped to the front in defense.

A battle issued as the Frosh ad- vanced. In the last 50 seconds of the game, a drive from left inner Joann Beaton slipped through to score the 1-0 victory for the Freshmen.

Four Schools Meet In Hockey Playday

This week a hockey clinic was to be held at Agnes Scott under the direction of Miss Marjorie Cadell of the English Field Hock- ey Touring Team. However, due to Miss Cadell's inability to come at this time, a hockey playday has been planned to replace the clinic.

The playday will be held today, November 7, and teams from North Georgia, University of Georgia, and G.S.C.W. are attend- ing. Rather than vying school against school, emphasis will be placed on skills and individual players. There will be a period of play in which teams composed of mixtures of players from the va- rious schools will oppose one an- other.

Students Save Ish From Dog Catcher

Quick thinking and sacrificial giving on on the part of a courag- eous group of Agnes Scott stu- dents and administrative staff averted a fatal tragedy to a be- loved memer of the campus community last Friday, November 2. "Ish," sentimental favorite among campus canines, was saved from possible extermination at the hands of a ruthless dog catcher.

Ish's history, as far back as can be determined, began in Septem- ber of the current quarter when he enthusiastically greeted both returning and new students to Agnes Scott. Adopting the Hub as his favorite hangout, he soon gained the good will of nearly everyone with his friendliness and spirit.

However, unknown to Ish or his many, friends, evil forces had been undermining his reputation. Last Friday, affairs came to a climax when a dog catcher stag- ed a surprise attack on the cam- pus and triumphantly carried away his prize before students could fully comprehend the gra- vity of the situation.

As soon as the news had spread, a burst of activity commenced. A call to city authorities revealed that a two dollar bail could re- claim the captive. A silver loving cup made a hasty round of the campus, resulting in a five dollar "kitty" to reclaim the dog.

Led by Business Manager P. J. Rogers, the counterattack began. Ish was reclaimed by payment of the fine. In addition, he acquired a good bath, a rabies innoculation, a harness and collar and a leash. Most important of all, however, he gained a legal owner.

Ish is now the registered pro- perty of Miss Judith B. Kase, speech instructor. His permanent residence is at Alexander Cottage on Candler Street, a part of the Agnes Scott Campus.

Loridans Foundation To Establish Chair

Dr. Alston announced to the Board of Trustees on Friday, No- vember 16, that the Charles Lori- dans Foundation of Atlanta has decided to establish and maintain a chair in French at Agnes Scott.

The late Mr. Loridans served as French consul in Atlanta for many years and was also a prom- inent businessman. Trustees of his estate direct the Loridans Foun- dation.

The professorship will be found- ed as a memorial to Mr. Loridans' wife, Adeline Arnold Loridans, who was an alumna of the Agnes Scott Institute from which she received a diploma in Classics.

The Foundation was "impressed with Agnes Scott, its aims, objec- tives, standards, and leadership. The idea of establishing a chair in one of the active major depart- ments within the college, prefer- ably the chair of French, has great appeal, because of the great need for attracting able people to the faculties of our schools."

Freshman Class officers: brey, Martin, Bowman.

Class of '60 Chooses Remaining Officers

In class meeting on November 12, the Freshman Class elected the remainder of their class offi- cers. Janice Bowman was elected secretary - treasurer. Representa- tives to Social Committee are Cor- ky Feagir. and Val Edwards. Mar- tha Ansley is class spirit chair- man.

His program of piano music will con- sist of Sonata 32 in C Minor by Beethoven, Etude in F Major, Noc- turne in F Sharp Major, and Bal- lade in F Minor by Chopin, and Symphonic Etudes by Schumann.

Board of Trustees Elects Smith To Fill Post Vacated by Winship

Mr. Hal L. Smith was elected to succeed the late Mr. George Winship as chairman of the Agnes Scott Board of Trustees at a called meeting of the Board on Friday, November 16. Mr. George Woodruff was re-elected vice-chairman at that time. After the meeting, members of the Board attended a coffee with the faculty in the parlors on the first floor of Wal- ters Hall.

May Day Theme To Center On Japanese Love Story

"Nezumi No Yomeiri," ("The Marriage of a Mouse"), an adaptation of a traditional Japanese folk-tale, has been se- lected by members of the Scenario Committee from ten entries for the 1957 iS/Lay Day production. Submitted by Nancy Kimmel, "The Marriage of a Mouse" is the delightful story of Maki, a young Japanese mouse, and her parents who vvisih to find the most wonderful hus- band in all the world for their most beautiful daughter.

Believing the Sun to be the best choice of all, the mice visit his court, but are directed to the court of the more-powerful Cloud, who is able to blot out the Sun. He in turn sends them to the Wind, who is able to blow Clouds away, but the Wind also denies them their wish, saying the Wall can stop him. Finally Maki and her parents return home, only to be told by the Spirit of the Wall that Chusuke the common mouse next door, has chewed a hole through him and is thus the most powerful of all. The marriage of Maki -and Chusuke climaxes the chain of events.

Because of the nature of its setting, the scenario lends itself to the use of varied and dramatic color. Red is to be used predomi- nately in the make-up and cos- tumes for the scene of the Sun's court, pastels for that of the Cloud's light and dark for that of the Wind's, and a variety of colors will be used in tine finale, the wedding scene.

Although the scenario funda- mentally has an Oriental theme, the music and dances are to be modern American interpretations of the traditional. The presenta- tion will be strongly influenced by the Noh Theatre, famous for its use of masks.

May Day Chairman Sharp dis- cusses winning: scenario with Kimmel.

Faculty members Ley burn, Hu- per and Allen served on the Scen- ario Committee with students Frances Sattes and Emily- Gilham, co-chairmen of the costume com- mittee; Nancy Trowell, chairman of dance committee; Betty Lock- hart, head of publicity; Nancy Kimmel, chairman of art; Liz Ansley, business manager; Ann Lane, secretary; Leoniece Davis, chairman of properties; Sylvia Ray chairman of music commit- tee; and Jene Sharp, over-all chairman of May Day.

May Day, 1957, is scheduled fbr May 13. Although work on the designing of costumes and the se- lection of music has begun, try- outs will not be held until Spring Quarter. There are eight major roles and numerous minor roles to be cast.

Language Club Selects Clark; Receives Wilder Compliments

Miss Frances Clark, a member of the French department at Agnes Scott, who is on leave while working on her Ph. D. degree at Yale University, has recently been selected President of the Romance Languages Club.

Miss Clark writes that at the first meeting of the club on October 18, Guelfo Frulla

spoke on Guicchiardini and Ma- chiavelli two masters of realism in conflict. At the conclusion of the meeting Thoimton Wilder, who had been visiting the club, expressed to Miss Clark his en- joyment of the program!

Because Mr. Ralph McGill, editor of the "Atlanta Constitu- tion" had to be out of town on Wednesday November 14, his Con- vocation talk on "What Has Hap- pened Since the Supreme Court Decision on Segregation in the Public Schools" has been postpon- ed until Wednesday, November 28.

Following this factual resume, Dr. Wallace Alston will present the Christian aspect of the se- gregation issue in chapel on Thursday, November 29. His topic will be "A Christian Faces Segre- gation in the South."

These two programs were ori- ginally scheduled to follow the one given by Mr. Robert B. Troutman, a Constitutional law- yer from Atlanta, who spoke in chapel on Tuesday, November 13, on "The Supreme Court Decision on Segregation in the Public Schools."

Lower House Plans Campus Fire Drills

New and original plans for campus fire drills have been drawn up by the 1956-57 Lower House. Feeling the need for practices in parts of the campus other than the dormitories, this group plans to hold fire drills in Buttrick Hall, the dining hall, and the Hub.

Instructions have been given by Mr. Moon, representative from the Decatur Fire Department, and Mr. P. J Rogers, business man- ager of the college'. While both men assured the group that Agnes Scott is well fire-proofed, they encouraged frequent fire drills as practice for an emergency.

The campus community is ad- vised, in case of fire, to call the Decatur Fire Department at DRake 3-0600. Lower House is providing dimes in each pay tele- phone to be used at such a time.

Thanksgiving Celebration (^(^ fj 6 Offers Time for Gratitude

Cornfields stand stripped of their harvest. Pumpkins snug- gle up to stacks of sun-dried hay. A blackbird calls from the

limb of a flaming maple tree.

The flesh of golden brown turkey crackles as it is basted with rich, buttery sauce. Cranberries add color to a festively decorated table. An aroma of freshly baked biscuits drifts from the kitchen.

A quick pass .... a flash streaks past the 40-, the 30-, the 20- yard-line. The crowd goes wild. A coordinated team fights

its way over the goal line for a touchdown.

A city stands stripped of its inhabitants. A hush hangs over the cold street corner. Cries of anguish and terror have temporarily subsided. Mute evidence tells of violent blood- shed.

A hungry child clutches & loaf of black bread. A family bars the doors of its home and huddles together in the darkened cellar. Teen-age boys, bound up as prisoners,

speed on to unknown destinations in rough railroad cars.

College students seize guns and march in rebellion. A statue lies toppled on the ground. Bonfires rage in the streets.

* * * * This is Thanksgiving, 1956.

Words fail to express the picture of a world that lies smoldering at our doorstep. "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him will I trust . . . Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving." D. R.

While Thanksgiving in its present form is a distinctly American holiday, one cannot correctly label it as the "brain- child" of Governor Bradford and his pilgrim counterparts. For autumnal festivals, such as our November celebration, have had a long and colorful history.

Such festivals date from be- fore the Hebrew Tabernacle feast, through the Greco-Roman harvest rites, dedicated to various dieties of fruitfulness, and on up into the Harvest Home feast days of the English speaking people. Thus through the ages and in all locales man has felt the need of

which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing general knowledge

Such a statement undoubtedly carries with it the realization that America's greatness springs not from her own might but from her ability to recognize and ac- knowledge another as the Pro- a particular time for expressing Qf u ^

his gratitude for earth's bounty whether this expression is in a pagan or a Christian form.

A touch of Broadway was in the air last Thursday night when Blackfriars presented an unusual but delightful even- ing of stage productions, "This The Theater." Six out- standing scenes from six well known plays were produced, offering the audience a pleasant degree of variety in mood and performance.

We were entertained not only by talent from our own campus but also by guest male actors from Atlanta. The characters and roles of each scene were portrayed with skill and great ability on the part of the actors and actresses.

The setting and lighting of the stage added greatly to the success of the evening. The unique, modern method of sil- houetting the stage crew as they manipulated the same setting for each scene gave the production a professional air.

Perhaps the individuals who deserve the most recognition, however, are those many who worked long and hard back- stage for the evening's entertainment. Those who worked on costumes, make-up, properties, lighting, publicity, scenery and programs were not in the limelight, but without their ef- forts the production would not have been possible. Our ap- preciation goes to them.

The entire Blackfriars group is to be commended for the highly entertaining and well produced evening of drama.

Dramatics Instructor Combines Careers of Playwright, Teacher

By Catherine Girardeau

Miss Judith Baker Kase, who comes to Agnes Scott as Instructor in Speech and Dramatic Art, is making her way in the world of drama by writing plays in addition to teach- ing. A newcomer to the college teaching profession, she has been interested in the stage as far back as she can remember. _ Writing children's plays is Miss

Kase's special hobby. One of her plays, "Adventures of Fairy Foot," which is based on an English folk tale will soon open in the Karamu Theater in Cleveland, Ohio.

Miss Kase is familiar with the theater from the standpoint of an actress as well as that of the playwright. She has worked with summer stock productions in the Camden Hills Theater in Camden Hills, Maine. She also performed for the Robin Hood Theater in Arden, Delaware. Her experience includes both backstage work and acting.

Aside from the stage, Miss Kase likes boating and fishing. Swim- ming is another water activity which she enjoys .

The new instructor holds the B.A. degree from the University of Delaware, and the M.A. from Western Reserve University. She

has served as assistant director of the University of Delaware Dramatic Center and as a teacher

of Creative Dramatics and Dance at Cain Park Creative Workshop in Cleveland Heights.

Originally from Newark, Dela- ware, Miss Kase has never before been South for any length of time. She likes Atlanta and Deca- tur very much. Decatur reminds her of her hometown.

Students will be interested to know that Miss Kase has adopted the popular 'Ish,' who is another newcomer to the campus this year. She now calls, the dog 'Shine' ' because he is shiny and because I met him on a shiny day." Al- though Miss Kase and her dog are residing in Alexander, she has agreed "to let the girls bor- row him."

Secretarial School Offers Scholarships

Two national scholarships for college senior girls are offered for 1957-58 by the Katharine Gibbs School. These awards were esta- blished in 1935 as a memorial to Mrs. Katharine M. Gibbs, founder and first president of the School.

Each scholarship consists of full tuition ($685) for the secretarial training course, plus an additional cash award of $500, totaling $1, 185. The winners may select any one of the four Gibbs schools for their training Boston, New York, Montclair or Providence.

Each college or university may recommend two candidates, and each candidate must have this official endorsement.

Delegates Convene For Press Meeting

The 32nd annual Associated Collegiate Press Conference was held this year in Cleveland, Ohio the weekend of November 8,

The purpose of this conference was to bring together from all over the United States college students representing various stu- dent publications to discuss pro- blems and to learn new ideas and ways of improving their publica- tions.

Present at the convention, lo- cated in the Statler Hotel, were over 800 students, representing 37 states plus Hiawaii. The Con- ference opened officially Thurs- day night November 8 with a convocation address given by Carey McWilliams, Editor of The Nation. He spoke on "The Place of the Opinion Magazine in American Journalism."

Friday and Saturday were devoted to meetings and dis- cussion groups. The program consisted of photography, news- paper, magazine, and yearbook lectures and panel discussions. Dif- ferent phases of each of these larger groups were discussed in separate meetings.

Parties, Football, Drama Lure Scotties Into Spinning World

"Parties make the world go round," as the saying goes, and the sweeties of ASC have set this ,old Georgia terra firma spinning, j As for the rest of the song, we will leave the final judgment to the professors and our star performances on those wonderful opportuni- ties to display our scholastic skill.

But, quick, back to the parties.

The "Flapper" party at the Seminary was the destination of many Scotties Saturday night, including Susie Benson, Frances Holtsclaw. and Carolyn Howard. Martha Jane Morgan, Julia Kennedy and Nancy Brock found that this "Flapper" party had absolutely noth- ing to do with the Roaring Twenties. Now, just whom can we trust?

Football with all the trimmings was the menu at Tech last week- end. Peering through the mists at the game Saturday were Diana Parks, Nancy Brown, Bruce Copeland, and Nancy Edwards. Others seeing a valiant Alabama team go down were Lucy Cole, Dot Ripley, Anne Tilly, and Pauline Winslow.

Celebrating the victory at the SAE house were Mary Jo Cowart, Beverly Delk, Betty Lewis, and Patti Forrest, while their friends and neighbors, the Sigma Chis, were similarly entertaining Harriett Easley, Janie Matthews, and Deene Spivey. Seen dancing at the Sigma Chi house were Marion Barry, Cat Hodgin, and Mary Ann Donnell.

The very last word in houseparties was shown to ASCers by a couple of Tech brotherhoods. The Betas invited Sally Fuller, Jane Kramer, Dana Hundley, Anise Gann, and Martha Davis over as their guests. Not to be outdone, the Phi Delts opened their doors to good times accompanied by Frannie Barker, Susie Miller, Tweetie Trammell, and Irene Shaw.

Anne Akerman, Frances Shepard, and Trudy Florrid took their Saturday night a la Emory at the Sigma Pi house. Also on the fabu- lous Fraternity Row were Becky Evans, Louise Rigdon, Carol Riley, and Eileen Graham at the ATO house.

Those, with medical interests were found at the Phi Chi house. Listening attentively as their dates discussed their latest cadavers were Jackie Johnson, Fran Patterson, Martha Holmes and Dot Huddle- ston.

Showing their appreciation of the things of refinement and cul- ture at the Drama Tech production Friday night were Mary Rivers Stubbins, Jean Clark, and Caroline Phelan.

The open road beckoned and Ann Sims, Raines Wakeford, and Camille Strickland toured over to Emory at Oxford for a dance weekend.

Freshmen Overcome Seniors; Juniors, Sophs Meet Tuesday

Hockey season closed with a flourish this week as the Freshmen downed the Seniors, 2-0, on Monday and the top- seeded Juniors tangled with the Sophomores on Tuesday. In the first of the two final games, the Freshmen captured a sure third place in the class hockey rating with their two point victory over the Seniors.

This game marked the third vic- tory for the scrappy young team, giving a bright outlook for fu- ture hockey seasons. Since the game was the last one for mem- bers of the senior team, the upper- classmen were spoiling for a vic- tory. The opening whistle was followed by both teams making a spirited rush for possession of the ball.

However the seniors soon gave way to the agressive Frosh for- wards, and the battle appeared one-sided in favor of the latter. The Freshman front line, play- ing a beautiful offensive game, carried the ball through the sen- ior backfield and bombarded the senior goal time and again. Final- ly, a drive from left inner, Ann Trotter scored to give the Frosh a 1-0 lead over their opponents. Minutes following this first goal, the Freshmen led by wing Boo Florance, again drove into scor- ing territory where center Su- zanne Hoskins racked up the se- cond point for the Freshmen, now leading 2-0.

The second half found the sen- iors in a more aggressive mood.

The Freshmen half-backs whose hard drives had proved a stumb- ling block for the Senior forwards, now found themselves over run as center Carolyn Herman sparked the forward line in drives and passes down the field. Halfbacks Margie DeFord, Sheila MacCono- chie and Martha Akin proved a valuable block against Fresh- man drives, meanwhile backing up their own forward line. To- ward the end of the last half the ball shifted from one end of the field to the other, and once or twice the Freshmen again threatened to score. While keep- ing their opponents scoreless dur- ing the last half the Seniors were stopped in their own scoring ef- forts by a strong Frosh backfield led by Ruth Leroy and Barbara Spect.

In the tennis finals last Fri- day, Sophomore Maria Harris de- feated Senior tennis star Sis Burns, 6-1, 6-0 to claim the 1956- 57 singles championship. I^jior to this, Maria had tronuced Senior Carolyn Herman in the semi- finals. Officiating during the match were members of the ten- nis club and other tennis players in the school.

There will be a brief joint meeting of the editorial and business staffs of "The Agnes Scott News" next Monday, November 26 at 7 p.m. in the News Room.

The influence of the educated American woman is one of the strongest forces for good in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa- tion, not narrow specialized training, that has developed her abilities and ins ghts. As homemaker-citizen and a* ca- reerist-citizen, she justifies magnificently the faith of those who a century ago were fight- ing for her right to learn what she wished to learn.

Grateful Animals Demonstrate Affection for Campus Friends

The following list was found hanging on a fire hydrant in the vicinity of the Hub. We believe it is of common interest to the entire campus community.

1. The kindhearted girls from Virginia who can immediately sense the pang of loneliness in a csnine heart.

3. The money in the Blackfriar's treasury, the big man in the business office, Miss Kase's pock- etbook and small change.

4. The rug in the living room that cleans easily.

5. The outdoor steam heaters, supplied for us on those chilly days when the students have gone home or when there are papers due.

6. The hockey games and the refreshment committee, the par- ties in the Hub, the surplus of left-overs in the dining 'hall, the kitchens in the cottages, the fa- culty garbage pails.

8. 790 on the radio dial, news- paper reporters, photographers, the NEWS and publicity in gener- al.

9. The fact that there are "no

11. Pigeons to chase.

14.. The general feeling of dis- like among all students for dog catchers and those who really believe in them, the sense of tragedy in many hearts at the thought of a pound and that cru- sading sense of justice that seems to prevail.

But we are not thankful for the Thanksgiving holidays, and those that will follow, because we will miss our dear, departed friends, will get hungry because leftovers will be scarce, and most of all, we'll miss the gay fun at parties "at-home." Can't school go on forever ?

Independent Georgia Colleges Unite Efforts for Fund-Raising

Georgia's independent liberal arts colleges have recently organized on an all-for-one-and-one-for-all basis. Nine such institutions met Monday, November 19, at Emory University and formed the Georgia Foundation for Independent Col- leges, a mutual fund-raising organization.

The foundation is designed to interpret the aims, functions and needs of the member colleges to the public with the view to better mutual understanding and cooper- ation. It has as its purpose the solicitation of monetary gifts to a common fund, shares of which will be pro-rated out to member insti- tutions on a fixed formula basis.

Campus Takes On Festive Air Seniors To Attend As Christmas Season Nears Marriage Classes

Sixteen more shopping days left before Christmas!

Yes, but only one more day left before fall quarter exami- nations! Pertinent to the subject of examinations comes this quotation from instructions given by a professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio:

"The purpose of this exam is to get you to think about what you have been learning. The questions asked are really topics for essays. There are no "right" answers in the sense that you must agree with me, the author of the text or any other authority.

"Rather, I look for evidence that you know what kinds of facts are significant to any one who would deal intelligently with the problems posed by the questions.

"Knowledge of a collection of unrelated facts in a poor substitute for clear understanding of the relationships among facts.

"So, when you write, try to show that you comprehend why ceftain facts are more important that others to those who would deal with the problems presented. When you stop thinking, stop writing."

This is timely advice for freshman and upperclassman alike.

College work teaches disciplines, the primary discipline perhaps being the ability to think. In spite of some methods commonly employed in study no amount of parrot-like re- production of a classroom lecture will benefit the student by teaching him to think.

Examinations are opportunities. If we regard them as such, we are bound to gain something by having gone through them. D. R.

That intangible, inexplicable thing commonly called "the Christmas spirit" has again begun to prevade the Agnes Scott campus. As December 25 draws nearer and nearer, this wonderful spirit will probably gain momentum among the students until even exam time cannot lessen the excite- ment in the air.

Mr. Rogers and his staff con- tribute to the excitement and gai- ety on the campus. Decorations in the dining hall, the Hub, Walters dormitory, and other places will be the results of their work.

In a short time, students will notice a brightly lighted Christ- mas tree before the Hub. This will be a fir or spruce, placed in the ground and supported by cords. Lights will be run from the Hub to the tree, and ornaments will add to the total effect. There will also be lights and greenery about the entranceway to the Hub, and Christmas displays will be arrang- ed in the dining hall and Walters.

Since the' Christmas spirit em- bodies giving, as well as receiving, Agnes Scott will try to pass on some of its Christmas joy to oth- ers by decorating trees for Grady Hospital. The sight of some sick person's face, radiant with appre- ciation, would put the joy of the season in anyone's heart.

Every year an Atlanta wood- man's club gives trees to Grady Hospital. Organizations and col- leges from the Atlanta area join in decorating the trees, usually with ornaments they have made themselves. Each group is assigned a tree in a certain ward or room, and the trees are transformed as the patients watch.

Anyone who would like to con- tribute to this worth-while pro- ject may go to these places to help prepare decorations: for the Freshmen, Inman Lobby; for the

Room in Walters; 'for the Juniors, Rebekah Reception Room; and for the Seniors, Rebekah Recreation Room.

The Christmas spirit will be expressed in numerous other ways parties and personal decorations in the dormitories; Christmas caroling, such as that sponsored by the foreign language clubs ev- ery yeax; and gifts for the hired help. Tnrough participation in all the activities, the campus commu- nity can both receive and spread the Christmas spirit.

Surprise Climaxes Community Party

Merry Christmas from Lower House- So what, Sew everything on the new sewing machine pre- sented to the student body by Lower House.

The presentation of the sewing machine was the highlight of the party, "The Last Roundup," given in the Hub on November 21. The party was for the entire student body, with food, songs, a skit, and fun for all.

Lower House felt that the sew- ing machine was badly needed and the members hope that every- one will enjoy using it. The "sew- ing room" will be located upstairs in the Hub.

Another project which Lower House is working on is the collec- tion and distribution of money

Mortar Board announces plans for the annual series of marriage classes to be held during winter quarter. The classes for seniors and engaged girls will be held in room 207 Campbell Hall on Wed- nesdays from 5 to 6 p.m.

The series will open January 9 with a discussion led by Rev. Rob- ert Riegel, assistant rector of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. The topic for his discussion will be courtship and engagement, includ- ing pre-marital relationship and psychology of courtship. Miss Mi- riam E. Koontz will speak on Jan- uary 16 on the emotionally ad- justed woman.

On January 23, Miss Marie Huper will give an explanation of the economical way to provide furnishings. Miss Huper's talk will be illustrated with slides. On Jan- uary 30 and February 6, Dr. Abra- ham Velkoff will speak on sex relationship, birth control and pregnancy. Dr. Warner Hall's talk on February 13 will deal with ad- justments in marriage.

The program on February 20 will feature finance!, including joint bank accounts, loans, and budgets. On February 27, Dr. Al- ston will culminate the series with a talk on making marriage per- manent.

With the approaching Christmas holidays everyone on our campus looks forward to going home and being with friends and relatives. In our excitement we sometimes for- get how fortunate we are in being able to go home for Christmas.

In Grady Hospital there are some thousand patients who will spend Christmas in a hospital bed. Many of these patients will never see another Christmas. A large number of these patients are small children, whose eyes still sparkle when Santa is mentioned. The prospect of spending Christmas in the hospital is very depressing for them.

Each year the college students in the Atlanta area Emory, Georgia State College of Business Administration, Ogle- thorpe, and Agnes Scott make decorations for Christmas trees throughout the hospital. On our campus the project has just gotten underway.

For most of us this is a busy time with exams nearly here and numerous term papers to be handed in. Yet this impor- tant project cannot be neglected. These decorations take time and cooperation.

If you could see the faces of some of the Grady patients while the trees were being decorated, you would certainly be repaid in full for your participation in the project, and would also be experiencing the true spirit of Christmas.

Won't you help bring the joy of Christmas to someone else? J.* F.

Although she professes to be a novice, Miss McKemie is enthu- siastic about photography. She got into practice snapping scenes from the car window as she traveled out West. Some day when she has the opportunity, Miss McKemie wants to make a movie for use in instructing her tennis classes.

The newcomer finds that stu- dents on this campus respond read- ily to the athletic program. Ac- cording to Miss McKemie, "You often see an antagonistic attitude on the part of students in larger schools toward participation in the required sports schedule. Here the students seem to realize the im- portance of sports in the total educational program. I think it is unusual to have the interest in sports here without offering a

major course in Physical Educa- tion."

Athens, Mantovani, Elvis Lure Hottentots for Pre-Exam Fling

One last fling before that final settling-down was the lure that tempted many Scotties to stray from the sheltering arms last weekend. There were parties, Mantovani, dances, football, movies, and Elvis. "To each his own," or so they say.

Friday night the Emory SAEs headed out to Fritz Orr's camp for an evening of entertainment in the rustic style. Kendall Hood, Barbara Specht, Joyce Thomas, and Caro Spann hrcame real out- doorish (aren't we versatile?) for the occasion, Others responding to the call of the wild and the invitations of the brothers were La- Vonne Nalley, Jackie Rountree, and Nancy Awbrey.

The Delta Tau Deltas at Emory ushered in the Yuletide season with a Christmas party Friday night. Gloria Branham, Ann Gilbert, and Nancy Christian were seen dancing to the music of the combo, while gathered around the tree were Mary Ann Fowlkes, Ethel DuRant, Susan Shirley, and Sara Lu Persinger.

Carv's Carnival, supposedly having something to do with teeth, was the name of the Dent School dance Friday night. Mary Moore, Betty Cobb and Margaret Minter donned their golden slippers for some real dancing. June Connally, Clara Ann Starnes, and Margaret Fortney also enjoyed this gala function (and we quote from a some- one who nttcrrd this famous phrase first) at Pcachtree Gardens.

Meanwhile, back at Tech, Nancy Niblack, Kay White, Nancy Bow- ers, and Drew Blankner were being shown the inimitable Old South- ern hospitality at the KA house.

Saturday dawned, cold and clear, and to Athens went Susan Riffe, Joyce Skelton, Ann Dodd, and Jan Matheson to see Tech win its last game of '56. Grace Robertson, C arolyn Davies, and Martha Ann Williamson motored over for the traditional favorite.

Kay Fuller, Harriette Lamb, Marcia Tobey, and Harriet Hardaway took in the dance at the Beta house at Emory Saturday night as a part of their preparation for the inevitable. Good idea.

There must be something about Turkey that inspires pinning, be- cause several new pins were sparkling after the Thanksgiving sea- son. Sallie Meek received a Phi Delta shield of the Davidson variety, while Susan Hogg's was from an Emory man. Caroline Phelan joined the ranks of the wearers of the Sigma Chi cross, Tech division. Con- gratulations to you all.

Remember, Christmas comes but once a year, so be sure and have a big, wonderful, one.

Riding Class Members Invite Vogts to Dinner; Badminton Club Challenges Freshman Players

To promote further interest in horseback riding for winter quarter, a supper was held Thursday, November 29 at 6 p.m. in the dining hall for members of the riding classes and all prospective pupils.

The group, including manager Lue Kobert and Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, entertained as

their special guests Theresa and Joe Vogt of the Vogt Riding Aca- demy and their six year old daugh- ter. Following the supper, the Vogts provided a series of movies in the gym including shots from their two stable horse shows, the Atlanta horse show, the Shokerog Hounds' Hunt, and the Olympic tryouts at Trion, N. C.

Numerous A. S. C. equestrians flock to the Vogt Academy weekly for one or two hours of instruction in riding skills. So progressive have the classes been that last spring, the Agnes Scott riders presented their own horse show, which met with great success and enthusiasm. Manager Lue Robert informed the Athletic Board that the classes are looking forward to a repeat performance this spring of an even better and more ad- vanced type.

Riding is offered each quarter, and it may be taken for regular

| credit or just as an additional ac- tivity. Those interested in riding winter quarter must sign the list in the mailroom or gym and regis- ter with Miss Wilburn before the holidays begin.

At a joint meeting and recrea- tion period last Wednesday, No- vember 28, members of the Bad- minton Club were hosts to players from the Freshman class. The group engaged in an hour of play with the Club challenging the Frosh to a tournament, meanwhile making note of potential players for the Club and for the campus meets.

Archer Boswell, A.A. badminton manager, announced later that Sylvia Saxon had been elected as Freshman manager. Other class managers previously selected in- clude: Seniors, Joanne Beasley; Juniors, Eileen Graham; Sopho- mores, Paula Pilkenton.

The valiant alumnae hockey team met the hockey varsity team Friday in a game that supplied fun for all. The game as expected ended in an easy victory for the varsity 5 to X

The only real opposition of the varsity was themselves. They kept knocking the ball out.

Fast Tiring: Ruth Curry, Pat Lenhardt, and Jo Sawyer proved too much for the fast tiring alumnae. Miss Kase was the star of the alumnae.

The game afforded such sights as an overconfident senior fighting for the ball while using only one hand. The other she had in her pocket keeping warm.

In the last minutes of the game, the varsity stepped aside to let the alumnae score. It was extreme- ly doubtful for a while whether they would be able to get the ball down to the goal even when un- opposed. Eventually Julie Greer scored. This ended the game with the score 5 to 1.

Mortar Board Undertakes Study Of Preferential Voting System

Evaluation of Agnes Scott College's preferential voting sys- tem has been initiated by Mortar Board. Led by Chairman Dannie Reynolds, a committee, chosen from the student body, has undertaken a study of the present voting system in order to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the pre- ferential system and to provide

Agnes Scott with the most accu- rate and practical voting system possible.

The committee is composed of two members each from the fresh- man, sophomore, and senior class- es, and three from the junior cl&ss because the junior class would be "most affected by a change in the voting system at" the present time. The members are: Nancy Duvall, Caroline Mickell, Martha Holmes, Eleanor Lee, Har- riet Talmadge, Kit Sydnor, Pa- tricia Stewart, Martha Riggins, and chairman Dannie Reynolds.

Agnes Scott's present voting system went into effect in 1953. At that time a committee com- posed of student body representa- tives evaluated various voting sys- tems and because of the quickness of attaining results, the preferen- tial voting system received the committee's recommendation.

In the four years since its adop- tion, the preferential system used at Agnes Scott has been found at times to be not as accurate as could be wished. Therefore Mortar Board has }gain, as in 1953, set up a commi^ee to evaluate and if possible tc perfect the voting system.

After intensive study of the preferential system during which its advantages were weighed against its disadvantages, the

Prize-Winning Poet To Return for Visit

On Saturday, January 26, Mr. Robert Frost, Pulitzer Prize-win- ning poet, will arrive for his fif- teenth annual visit to Agnes Scott campus. He will speak in Gaines Chapel on Tuesday evening, Janu- ary 29, at 8:30 p.m. The lecture is open to the public. Mr. Frost's schedule for talks and luncheons with various campus groups has not yet been announced.

Miss Emma May Laney, who retired from the English faculty last spring, will return for Mr. Frost's visit. Miss Laney was in- strumental in first bringing Mr. Frost to Agnes Scott in 1935.

Mr. Frost's books, which are now on sale in the library, will be autographed by the author on request.

committee affirmed that the pres- ent system of voting at Agnes Scott leaves much to be desired. Yet to find a system with the quickness of the preferential sys- tem has not proved an easy task.

In order to obtain as much in- formation as possible about other methods of voting, letters have been written to several colleges asking .about their voting systems. The colleges contacted are: Wes- leyan, Davidson, Bryn Mawr, Queens, Goucher, Mary Washing- ton, Sweet Briar, Sophie New- combe, Duke, Salem, Mills, Smith, Randolph Macon, Mount Holy- oke, Washington and Lee, and Obe-lin.

A. .he same time that the com- mitter is seeking information about other systems of voting, Eleanor Lee, with the assistance of Dr. Robinson, is attempting to perfect our preferential voting system.

Fraternity Initiates Biology Professor

Miss Josephine Bridgman, Pro- fessor of Biology at Agnes Scott College, has recently been elected to honorary membership in Phi Beta Kappa. This coveted scho- lastic honor was bestowed upon Miss Bridgman for her work in the field of protozoology and her valuable contribution to Agnes Scott in the biology department.

A native of Gainesville, Georgia, and an Agnes Scott alumna, Miss Bridgman received her master's degree from the University of Virginia and her Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina. She came to the biology faculty in 1949, and in 1952 became head of the department.

Miss Bridgman's research deals with the problems related to en- cystment, excystment of ciliates and the effects of radiation upon the cysts. Her work has been done largely on the Agnes Scott campus, but Miss Bridgman work- ed for one summer at Oak Ridge and studied several summers at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Wood's Hole, Massachusetts.

At present, she is working on radiation effects under a grant from the Atomic Energy Commis- sion.

The spirit of Junior Jaunt is in the air. For several weeks the Junior class has been hard at work on their 1957 produc- tion of "Dixierama." Under the, able direction of Nancy Kim- mel, over-all Junior Jaunt chairman, the work has progressed steadily and rapidly.

Freshmen, sophomores, and se- niors have been working hard on their class skits. The skit chair- men, directed by Randy Norton, are as follows: freshmen, Eve Purdom; sophomores, Martha Mc- Coy; and seniors, Liz Ansley and Sara Townsend.

This year the purpose behind Junior Jaunt has been stressed more than ever. It is Agnes Scott's one annual drive for money on campus and is designed to eliminate small separate money campaigns throughout the year. The money raised goes to support certain charities.

This year the charities the stu- dent body has voted to support are: NSFNS, the National Schol- arship Fund for Negro Students; the World University Service; the Georgia Mental Health Associa- tion \ Agnes Scott's former physi- cian, Dr. Alexander, , who is work- ing in Pakistan, and a French war orphan to whom the college sends $180 for one year's support.

The money-raising committee, headed by Jo Sawyer, has deter- mined on a percentage basis the amount to contribute to each charity (excluding the war or- phan). The money chairmen from each class are: Mary Hart Rich- ardson, freshmen; Carolyn Haz- ard, sophomores; Pat Stewart, ju- niors; and Anne Whitfield, seniors.

It was decided this year to do away with the class queens who were formerly the cause of much rivalry and class competition. In- stead, competition will be in the class skits only and not connected with the fund-raising drive. In this way faculty can contribute more freely than before without feeling partial to any class.

A quota has been set as an ideal goal to reach in the drive. Two large J-shaped thermometers have been set up in the campus quad- rangle so everyone can watch the mercury rise as the money comes in. The important thing, however, is not in reaching the quota but in the spirit behind the giving.

This campaign is held the week of January 10-19. To get things started, a "Kick-Off Party" was given last Thursday night at 9:30 in the Gym. Penny refreshments were sold. To help raise money each class has rhre^ main projects

plus several small ones. The se- niors are giving a fashion show, the juniors have a monogram service, the sophomore's have op- ened a 'beauty salon in the rec- reation room of Walters, and the freshmen are washing cars and making beds. Food is being sold in the dorms and in the Hub by dif- ferent classes.

\The junior chairmen in charge of various committees are as fol- lows: Chairs, Millie Lane; Chore- ography, Louise Rigdon and Car- lanna Lindamood; Clean Up, Nan- cy Holland; Copy, Grace Chao; Costumes, Helen Hachtel and Becky Fewell; 1 Dance, Blythe Po- sey; Decorations, Liz Shumaker; Lights, Shirley McDonald and Caro McDonald; Make Up, Dean Spivey; Music, Caroline Romberg and Pinky McCall; Program, Sue Lile; Props, Nora King; Publicity, Diana Carpenter; Refreshments, Joan St. Clair: Scenery, Cat Hod- gin and Marilyn Tribble; Tickets, June Fulmer; Ushers, Nancy Franklin; Over-all Art, Carol Pike.

The judges of the class skits are Dr. and Mrs. Stukes, Mrs. Pepperdene, and Miss Rion.

"Dixierama, the Old South in Song and Dance," will be present- ed Saturday, January 19, 1957, at 8:00 in the Agnes Scott Gymna- sium. Following the program a dance will be held in the gym from 9:15-12:00. Albert Coleman's or- chestra is to play.

Tickets for Junior Jaunt are being sold in the dormitories and

Buttrick January 14-19. Prices are: reserved seats, $1.00 each, $1.75 for two; general admission, 75 cents each, $1.25 'or two.

Miss Miriam Koontz, Assistant Professor of Psychology, will be the speaker at the second mar- riage class this afternoon, January 16. Her topic will be "Mrs. or Miss Behavior."

The lecture will feature a dis- cussion on the emotional adjust- ment of a single or married wo- man. Sponsored by Mortar Board, the marriage class is for all se- niors and engaged girls of other classes. Classes are held each Wednesday, 5 to 6 p.m., in 207 Campbell* Hall.

Exec Re-evaluates Honor Program

Effectiveness of the Honor Em- phasis Program was discussed by the Executive Committee of Stu- dent Government at a retreat held Wednesday, January 9. In addi- tion, the group evaluated last quarter's Thursday student meet- ings and sought means of improve- ment. The place and importance of the newly established Rules Committee was discussed, and plans for revising the Student Government Handbook were drawn up.

The Committee, in an attempt to improve in any way upon the program of last quarter, seeks student support and interest. In- dividuals are invited to offer sug- gestions to the Committee at any time.

A meeting of those interested in reporting for "The Agnes Soott News" will be held next Monday afternoon, January 21, at 4:40 in the News Room in the Hub. Students desiring to try out at this time are request- ed to sign the list in the mail- room before Monday.

Alston Attends Annual Meet; Christmas Trees Win Awards

On January 10 President Wallace M. Alston was named a member of the Commission on Academic Freedom and Aca- demic Tenure at the final session of the Association of Ameri- can Colleges which convened in Philadelphia for its annual meeting.

The general theme of the meet- ing was "Education of Free Men in A Free Society for a Free World." The 753 college presidents and officials concluded during the three-day session that far more stress must be placed on the lib- eral arts if American education is to play its proper role in saving and strengthening freedom. * * *

Faculty Play, 'Shellbound/ JldterDoDLCditor

Arouses Student Interest L I hope this doesn't sound as

By Catherine Girardeau

Repercussions of the faculty extravanganza entitled "Shell- bound II" have been heard around the campus for the past four years. Students eagerly await the next production of the fabulous faculty stars who scored a tremendous hit in 1953 with their repeat performance of the life of Miss Susan Nautilus, an inhibited teacher

who comes out of her shell.

The theatrical ventures of the faculty date back to 1916 when the Faculty Players presented

The advertisements for the program were ingenious and included an ad from "Trotter's Theme Team," who promised "discreet ghost- writing" and "footnotes in abun- dance." George Picasso Hayete, the Toorealist, offered private les- sons in art while several faculty gentlemen volunteered their serv- ices as escorts in an unpaid ad- vertisement.

Junior Jaunt is a good thing.

For many years it has been a tradition here at Agnes Scott to designate one period during the year for which we seriously consider the needs of others and ways of sharing our material possessions. Unique projects for raising money are carried out by all of the classes, and the Junior Class sponsors and coordinates the entire activity. The period of fund-raising culminates with a night of entertainment, and at this time, the amount of money contributed for charity is announced. '

Junior Jaunt is a good thing for three specific reasons. It gives the student body and faculty a chance to turn their at- tention to others and share. With the elimination of the cut- throat competition between classes this year, the value of Junior Jaunt is enhanced, for we emphasize now the spirit of giving rather than one class vying with another for the greatest amount of money.

Junior Jaunt is a good thing because it offers an opportu- nity for close personal relationship within the classes them- selves. It is a time when cooperation is imperative and when willing helpfulness in carrying out the projects or producing the evening of entertainment is necessary. Friendships are made through hard work for a common goal.

A third reason Junior Jaunt is good is that it provides a period of good wholesome fun along with the work for charity. A feeling of happiness and gaiety seems to accompany the projects and the final evening. .

Junior Jaunt is one of Agnes Scott's finest and most valu- able traditions. L. S.

though I am pushing the subject, but I would like to express my opinion about Shellbound. I think it is extremely important that the student body is given more than a refusal.

The faculty, I know, has decid- ed against Shellbound after much sincere and honest consideration. It is a big job and a very great strain in a short quarter, but isn't it a tradition and a good tradi- tion? Is there more to do this year than there was to do four years agb?

Isn't Shellbound the outstanding example of that special charac- teristic of Agnes Scott, that close relationship between faculty and students, that willingness of the faculty to be a part of the campus as individual human beings beyond the classroom? It seems that this important atmosphere is difficult to sustain and simple to lose. Few colleges have it to the extent that we do We want to keep it.

We want Shellbound because it is fun, because it contributes to those special moments we cherish as the "real" part of college liv- ing. But more important, we need Shellbound. If we lose it, what will take its place?

Because it is such a tremendous endeavor, I cannot begrudge the faculty their decision. Perhaps it is even comforting to be relieved of such a responsibility. This is not only unfortunate, it is sad.

selections here today, but also the nine days of cooperation that lie ahead of us.

Junior Jaunt, as it has been in the past, and is now, can be com- pared to the Community Chest. It is on large money raising cam- paign, covering, this year, the nine day period between 9:30 p.m., January 10, and 5:00 p.m. January 19.

We have decided in chapel to- day the charities to which we would like to give our money. We will decide through our committee the percentages of the whole which we will give to each indi- vidual charity. The "chest," the complete amount of money col- lected by all four classes, will be so divided at the end of the drive.

Therefore, Junior Jaunt was created to take in, at one time, all money drives which might appear on campus, to eliminate the con- stant "collecting" of dimes and quarters which is often found in many schools.. Not only does a concentrated drive protect us, the contributors, from the persistent attacks of hat passers, but it gives us a chance to stop and seriously think about what we are actually doing when we give. It gives us a chance to discover the true spirit behind our actions. It is this question of spirit that (Continued on Page 3)

Ike Doctrine' Warns Commies To Halt Middle East Aggression

Eisenhower's doctrine for the Middle East is a warning directed to the Kremlin clarifying our intention of blocking Communist expansion in the Middle East even at the expense of a war. This plan is designed mainly to close the gap in Middle East defense.

We have only two allies in the Middle East by previous agree- ments, Turkey on the west and Pakistan on the east. The Eisen- hower Doctrine would link up these two allies in such a way as to keep Russia out of the stra- tegic, oil-rich Middle East coun- tries of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, feyria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Israel.

Through the plan, Eisenhower proposes to serve notice that the United States will defend the Mid- dle East against any Communist armed aggression. The United States does not intend to impose its will on any of the Middle East states. It would move in only at request of a Middle East state which has been attacked by anoth- er state.

The United States would take no part in any revolution in this area unless the revolution had obvious Communist backing. Therefore, the United States would not enter a war between an Arab state and Israel under the Eisenhower Doctrine; it would en- ter such a conflict through the tripartite agreement with Britain and France which is concerned with such a possibility.

The second part 'of the plan calls for more economic aid in this area. This is designed to swing the Arab nations over to the West. The aid planned is a long-range program of loans and grants.

The three main economic prob- lems of the Middle East will be the first to be affected: water, highways and railroads. There is nothing in the Eisenhower plan that will enable the United States to act directly in stopping some of these states from buying Russian arms. However, the U.S. does not intend to give aid t& any country which will in turn buy more arms from Russia.

Although there are no easy solutions for the problems in this area, the Eisenhower plan has a good chance to reduce the Com- munist threat. The Soviet Union is unwilling to risk a war and will probably respect this new "off limits" sign. However, the threat of Communist infiltration, propaganda and other subtle revo- lutionary techniques will still con- tinue.

has led to the policy changes which have been made for this season. These changes are not drastic. They aren't even surpris- ing. They are the result of ideas and needs which have grown throughout the past few years, so that they have at last become an actuality.

Formerly, the money drive has been fierce competition between the four classes, with queens as the figureheads of each campaign. The queen of the class gathering the most money was crowned Queen of Junior Jaunt, and reign- ed over the evening program and the dance.

The queens are no lorger a part of Junior Jaunt.

We have listened to you. We believe this is what you want. This year there will not be any of the cruel battle of class against class, pocketbook against pocket- book. Giving need not consist of a mad scramble to beat another class. We can hardly call this charity; it is certainly not fun; it is more like war than anything else.

Competition, as we all know, is good enough when taken in moder- ation. And even though we had started out on the right staircase in our recent campaigns, we were soon sidetracked to an overcrowd- ed, express escalator, inhabited mainly by well-meaning pickpoc- kets who took the money for which we had recently sold our souls.

But this isn't a funny matter. It sounds bad, it was bad, and it has therefore been changed.

This year the four classes will have individual campaigns, each featuring three main ways in which to raise money. Each me- thod will be unique to each class. There will be no overlapping.

We will get something for our money. There will not be a hun- dred little businesses going on at once, with all four classes trying to shine shoes on Monday after- noon. We hope to avoid confusion as well as bankruptcy.

When it comes to dollars and cents, let's be honest with our- selves. I don't have twenty dollars to give away to anything in one big hunk, but perhaps I do have ten dollars with which to buy something I need or want, pay- ing extra as a contribution.

And this is also a community project, belonging equally to everyone, faculty as well as stu- dents. The faculty can now contri- bute freely, without having to feel partial to one particular class.

A secret quota has been set. We hope to reach it. Campaigns will not end until the afternoon of Junior Jaunt on January 19. We may go over our quota two days before that, we may not reach it until four thirty that afternoon, we may not reach it at all. But reaching it or going beyond it is not basically impor- tant.

It is the spirit behind our giving (Continued on Page 4)

Mistletoe and Yule spirit must have abounded during the now dimly remembered Christmas holidays, as is evidenced by the number ot Scotties that returned to school with "rings on their fingers" and pins on their clothes. At the risk of omitting any of these lucky ladies, we shall try to give you a rundown of the social status quo as of January '57. '

Those girls seen discarding their left-handed gloves in order to dis- play newly acquired carats are: Doug Pittman, Jackie Murray, Curly Jones, Joyce Skelton, Virginia Fuller, Peggy Wilson, Cemele Miller, .Margaret Ann Zepatos, Nancy Niblack, Portia Striekland, Carolyn Raines, Janet Lamb, Carol Riley, Nancy Franklin, Emasue Alford, Betty Jean Meek, Genelle Breedlove, Libby Gay, Nancy Trowell, Helen Smith, Dee Ann Welch, India Clark and Carolyn Wright. Whew, looks like the Campus Directory.

No less eager to admit that the best things do indeed come in small packages are Billie Rainey and Libby Bond who are sporting SAE and Sigma Chi pins respectively. Also in agreement are Jan Matheson with her Kappa Sig badge, Caroline Miller-Phi KA, Winky Stockton- Kappa Sig, Nancy . Bowers-KA, Betty Edmunds-Phi Kappa Sigma, Margaret Candler-KA, and Judy Sawyer plus her West Point jewel!

And extra congratulations must surely be extended to the fortunate few for whom orange blossoms did bloom even in December, namely, Emily Gillham Middleton, Pat Guynup Walter, Martha Akin Walston,' Pat Conner Tucker, Ann Stein Alprin and Cathy Cole Butler. Best Wishes to all of you.

A quick transition from the holiday happenings to the time at hand reveals that Scotties wasted not a moment in plunging anew into Atlanta social life. Judging from last weekend's sign-out statistics, 1957 promises to be a bumper year as far as outings are concerned! Good going, girls!

The ATO's at Tech ushered in a new quarter with an ice skating party out at Lakewood. Some of those perfecting their figure 8's were Snellen Beverly, Ann Whisnant, Kay Lamb, Carolyn Hazard, Jill Imray, Jennie Walker, Ann Norton, Lang Sydnor, Carol Pike, Mari- anne Sharp, Jane Law, and Jill DeBardeleben. Another engineering group, the SAE's, entertained Wardie Abernathy, Jody Armbrecht, Doreen Greenfield, Libby Hanna, Jane Kraemer, Jean Salter, and Sally Smith with a party at the house.

Over Emory way, Linda Dancy, Martha Ann Williamson, and Judy George, "Al Capped" it up at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Seen com- bining business and pleasure at Clement Attlee's lecture were the following girls and their dates: Margaret Fortney, Patti Forrest, Frances Gwinn, Priscilla Gaines, Marty Young, and Dot Rearick. That's what we call constructive homework.

The unequalled excitement of a Broadway Show lured a hoard of Scotties to the Tower theatre where "The Pajama Game" was cur- rently appearing. Peggy Fanson, Renee Shenk, Jan Fleming, Pat Lenhardt, Ann Rivers Payne, Sybil Strupe, Libby Hanson, Corky Feagin, Peg Culpepper were among those who applauded this delight- ful production. In a more rustic fashion, Mary Dunn, Pat Gover, Boogie Helm, June Hall, Suzanne Hoskins, Rosalind Johnson, Caroline Phelan, and Helen Sewell partied with the Tech Sigfa Chi's at Snap- finger Farm.

Our Special gold star of the week goes to Fran Patterson and Social Committee for providing that terrific jam session in the Hub. Whether your taste runs to Brubeck, Bach, or any point in between, we believe such an occasion would be well worth repeating for pure listening appeal. The alma mater never sounded so good, eh what?

Student Artists Display Work In Oils, Sculpture, Ceramics

Of the different forms of art at its best in abstract, non- objective, or realistic paintings and sculpture, in Christmas cards, in ceramic ashtrays and bowls, and in children's art the student exhibit now open to the campus on the third floor of Buttrick affords a variety of work to suit a variety of tastes. The exhibit is the result

of advanced and beginner art courses taught fall quarter, and it will be shown for the next few weeks.

The main gallery exhibits the work of the advanced painting classes and the sculpture class. "Advanced" is not an adequate term as many of the, finest pieces of work have been done by stu- dents with no background of for- mal art training. At first glance the sculpture exhibit seems to be an extravagant display of beaten bronze and iron, figures as well as fired and glazed clay pieces. As the art department cannot afford such expensive materials, Miss Huper has shown her students ways to achieve the look and qual- ity of these metals.

The flowing figure of a veiled woman is a bronze-finished pla- ster. However, the artist has used aluminum wire for her frame- work and given body to the figure with strips of paper towel dipped in wet plaster. The bronze relief on the wall that resembles a piece of medieval battle scene is also a plaster cast. The simple relief of llama-like figures is a sheet of beaten lead, the only real piece of metal work in the entire sculpture exhibit.

Some of the paintings in this room are the result of an assign- ment to paint pictures for the game room in the new Faculty Club. The beautiful portrayals of chess, bowling, bridge, and domino games are striking in their orgin- ality and difference from the usual abstract paintings of fish or build- ings. Some of the other paintings are taken from classroom still lifes and outdoor sketches, each done in highly individualized color schemes. The mattings and frames chosen for the paintings are in- teresting and uniquely suited to the particular picture.

In the hall outside the gallery are several tables which display some of the most interesting art work in the exhibit. One table is the project of two art majors who plan to teach elementary art next fall. They have put on display several methods of printing that children enjoy and that give in- teresting results. Pop-string print- ing, potato printing, and string and block printing are a few examples.

Other tables exhibit beautifully shaped glazed ashtrays, bowls and vases which students made under the direction of Mrs. Whatley. Some of the dishes have a mottled

appearance caused by the use of a "feather glaze." A ceramic piece painted with this glaze comes out of the kiln with interesting color effects produced by chemical re- actions that occur during firing. One of the most interesting pieces among the ceramics is a reddish teapot covered with heavy lumps of white glaze. This piece has been made by building up coils of clay. In fact, all of the ceramic work on display has been made by hand methods. ,

The work hung in the hall is that of beginning art students. Their first experiments in line and shape are seen in some brightly colored abstract and non-objective paintings. The watercolor paint- ings of still lifes are each indi- vidual in approach and are exer- cises in understanding solid shapes, their balance and relation in a picture.

The time, work and thought put into this exhibit have been very worthwhile, resulting in a beauti- ful, varied display of art work that the entire campus would en- joy. It would be unfortunate to miss seeing the originality and efforts which art students are capabb of producing.

Harris Plays Bach, Debussy for Recital

A large audience of Atlanta residents and Agnes Scott students and faculty heard Mrs. Irene Left- Wich Harris present her piano re- cital in Presser Hall at 8:00 p.m. January 8. Mrs. Harris' program consisted of works which are well- known and loved by students of music

After her opening number, "Air With Variations" by Handel, Mrs. Harris played "Rondo" by Hum- mel, "Partita in B-flat Major" by Bach and two intermezzi and a rhapsody by Brahms. Her closing number was Debussy's "Pour le Piano."

that really counts. Making a change like this is definitely going to effect the amount of money collected, but we want it to. There is nothing real behind a contribu- tion of over a thousand dollars from any one class. We are not capable of this.

Therefore, we, the class of 1958, would like to offer Dixierama, our Junior Jaunt, as the testing ground for a principle. We want you to give. We know you want to give, but we also want to keep it a part of service and love. We believe our changes will work because we believe in you. We are willing to try to make them suc- ceed.

Can't we all work together this year? Can't we take Junior Jaunt out of our billfolds and put it back in our hearts?

Pi Alpha Phi Hosts All - South Tourney

Nine colleges and universities were represented at the All-South- ern Debate Tournament held on the Agnes Scott campus January 11 and 12.

At the end of all debates four different trophies were awarded. In first place for the "Over-All School" trophy was David Lips- comb. Second place was won by Tennessee Tech, and South Caro- lina came in third. %

The trophy for Best Negative Division was won by South Caro- lina. In second place was David Lipscomb and, in third place, Van-- derbilt. Howard was the winner of the Best Affirmative Division,, with David Lipscomb and the Uni- versity of Miami in second and third places, respectively.

John Jellicorse, from the Uni- versity of Tennessee, and Ramona Allison, from Howard, tied as first place winners of the Best Indi- vidual Trophy. In second place was Roderick Davis from Howard. Third place was awarded to Carl Stem from Vanderbilt.

The topic for debate was: "Re- solved that the United States should discontinue direct econom- ic aid to foreign countries."

Pi Alpha Phi expresses appre- ciation to members of the Agnes Scott community who served as judges, hostesses and time-keepers for the tournament.

A preliminary meeting and rules clinic on Monday, January 6, marked the beginnings of the 1957 Basketball Season at Agnes Scott. Miss Kate McKemie opened the meeting with a review of all rules and discussed the added and changed rules for this year. .Practice times for each ^lass were decided upon and the following schedule

was set up for the season: Seniors, Mon. 4-5, Thurs. 5-6; Juniors, Mon. 5-6, Wed. 4-5; Sophs, Mon. 5-6, Wed. 4-5; Frosh, Mon. 4-5, Wed. 5-6, Thurs. 5-6.

To erase the problems of main- taining "B" as well as "A" teams, a plan for a new type of secon- dary tournament was set forth for the approval of the group. At the first game, Friday, January 18, all who practiced during the preceding two weeks would be eligible to play. Following this game, the class "A" teams would be chosen and a second tourna- ment held for all who are not on any of the regular class fceams and who wish to play.

The teams in this new "B" tournament would not necessarily be composed of members from the same class. This, then, would do away with the usual upperclass- dilemma of lacking sufficient players.

The first game of the season will get underway' at 4:00 this Friday afternoon. A tinge of ex- citement will be added to the games, as the respective opponents will be chosen immediately prior to the first game and not before. For the choosing, four managers will be placed, blindfolded, one at each corner of the court. The four will then walk toward the center of the court and the two touching first will oppose each other, as will the remaining two.

Managers of each team urge their classmates to come out for this important first game at which the schedule for the season will be determined. Managers for the 1957 season include: Seniors, Mar- gie Hill; Juniors, Carolyn Tinkler; Sophomores, Suzanne McMillan; Freshmen, Nancy Duvall.

Lists are up in the mail room for signing for the singles and doubles badminton tournaments which begin January 24 and 31, respectively. Number of entrants

in the tournaments is unlimited, and as participation counts toward class spirit, beginners and advanc- ed players alike are encouraged to enter.

After the tournaments begin, players should complete their matches within the set deadline. Nets will be up and equipment available at the following times: Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:30- 5:00; lunch, 1:00-2:00; nights.

Badminton is a sport which is fast increasing its claim to popu- larity on campus. The relatively new Badminton Club at present has fifteen active members to its credit and will add to its mem- bership in February when tryouts will be held.

Runita McCurdy is the newly- elected president of the club, and Archer Boswell acts as the A. A. manager in charge of all badmin- ton activities.

Salk Shots Reduce Epidemics of Polio

"I didn't think this could happen to us," said Mrs. Richard Greeno of Camp Douglas, Wis., as her sixth child was struck down by polio. None of the Greeno children had been inoculated with Salk vac- cine. "We never thought we need- ed it," their mother explained.

But the polio virus did not re- spect what she thought.

All Americans in the age group from six months to 35 years should act now to protect themselves against "polio season" next sum- mer, authorities working with the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis urge.

The Marchtof Dimes 1957 cam- paign, in which funds are raised to finance needed care of polio patients, is also urging those who contribute to get vaccinated for their own protection.

onor Committee Authorizes Rule Studies, Interpretations

(Editors note: This is the first in a series of articles concerning Agnes Scott's honor program sponsored by Student Government.)

Last quarter during the week of October 15, the Agnes Scott campus had its annual Honor Emphasis Week, at which time particular attention was given to all aspects of the honor program.

Basic plans for this week were formulated before school began at a retreat held at Camp Roosevelt. At this time the Execu- tive Committee of Student Gov-

?rnment detected the need for a more extensive program of honor emphasis, which resulted in their securing the help of Christian Association and Athletic Associa- tion. Thus, all these major stu- dent organizations on campus pledged their support to the honor^ program. It was felt that by the combined efforts of the three as- sociations, a larger number of stu- dents on campus would be mpre effectively reached. Such joint ef- fort would also provide these or- ganizations with a real sense of unity.

At the beginning of fall quar- ter, an Honor Committee was set up consisting of four members from the Executive Committee, two from C. A. and two from A. A. This committee met regularly from the beginning of school in order to discuss every aspect of the honor program and to make more detailed plans for Honor Emphasis Week.

Plans were made for the three associations to meet three con- secutive Monday nights preceding Honor Emphasis Week. At these meetings, basic principles of the honor system were discussed, problems were examined and methods of presentation were de- cided upon. These preliminary meetings were valuable in that they helped the associations to grasp for themselves the real meaning of the honor system, and in so doing they were better equipped to present the honor program to the student body.

During Honor Emphasis Week, many suggestions were made for possible rule changes. In order to take action on these suggestions,

a Rules Committee was set up by Executive Committee. The Ju- dicial Chairman heads up this committee composed of five Ex- ecutive Committee members. This group ' meets every Saturday at 10:45 to study rules, consider sug- gestions, and clarify rules which seem to confuse the students.

Results of this committee's work have been profitable to date. Many minor yet significant changes have come about. For example, the Rule^ Committee studied the automatic penalty for forgetting phone co-op, which was (Continued on Page 3)

Theater Arts Hour Will Spotlight Frost

Robert Frost's "The Mask of Reason" will be the featured work in a speech hour to be held this afternoon at 5 o'clock in the Re- bekah Scott speech studio. Hav- ing as its four principal characters Job, Job's wife, God and Satan, the recitation will star Miss Ju- dith Kase, Dr. Edward McNair, Dr. George P. Hayes, and Mr. Richard Valente, director of the Oglethorpe Players of Oglethorpe University.

Included in the afternoon's pro- gram, a quarterly project of the speech department, will be sev- eral of Frost's lyric poems read by first year speech students. Members of advanced classes will present more lengthy works by the poet, including "The Death of the Hired Man," "Home Burial," "Paul's Wife," "The Witch of Coos" and "The Mask of Reason."

The college community is in- vited to attend this hour of read- ings.

America's Poet Laureate To Pay Annual ASC Visit

On Tuesday evening, January 29, Robert Frost, America's Poet Laureate, will be presented by Lecture Association in Gaines chapel at 8:30 p.m.

Four time Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Frost was first brought to Agnes Scott in 1935 by his friend, Miss Emma May Laney, then on the English fac- ulty here. Since 1945, Mr. Frost has visited Agnes Scott each year; 1957 marks his fifteenth visit to the campus. Miss Laney has re- turned to Agnes Scott for a visit during the poet's stay here.

Tickets for students and fac- ulty members who wish to sit in the reserved section for the Rob- ert Frost lecture may be secured this week in the book store free of charge. Reserved tickets are not available for guests.

Mr. Frost's books are currently on sale at the main desk in the library. There are three editions | for sale: The Complete Works at $4.50 per copy, The Road Not Taken at $3.50 per copy, and the Modern Library edition of his poetry at $1.45. Students who wish to have books autographed by Mr. Frost must place their orders with the librarian before 5 p.m. Satur- day, January 26.

The Robert Frost Collection, Agnes Scott's outstanding collec- tion of books and papers of the famous poet, is now on display in the McCain Library. The collec- tion, which ranks with perhaps two otljer such collections of the poet's works in the nation, is a valuable asset to Agnes Scott. It contains many of the poet's early volumes, including a copy of his first, A Boy's Will, which was printed in England in 1913.

The numerous later books in- clude both limited and trade edi- tions printed in England and Am- erica. One limited edition of in- terest was printed on the Dart- mouth campus by students. Some of the most valued items in the collection are Christmas cards containing poems by Mr. Frost, many of which are quite valuable. The library has recently received

to her upon her retirement last June. In addition to enlargement of the Frost Collection, the pro- ceeds from the endowment fund will be used for the proper display

his 1956 Christmas poem, "Kitty Hawk, 1894."

The Frost Collection also con- tains anthologies, two of which are foreign, book jackets, critical works, theses on Mr. Frost's works, book introductions written by the author, letters, and poems which Mr. Frost copied by hand for the library. Most of the books have been autographed by the poet.

The Robert Frost Collection will be enlarged and maintained by proceeds from the Emma May Laney Library Fund. The perman- ent $5,000 endowment was estab- lished by the faculty, the staff, former and present students, and friends of Miss Laney as a tribute

of Miss Laney's gift of her collec- tion of the letters from Carl Sand- burg and John Galsworthy and for the acquisition of masterpieces in English literature.

Miss Laney tells of an incident in which a faculty child of some years ago gave the renowned poet the top juvenile accolade: after hearing Mr. Frost's pleasant, in- formal talk, the little boy Re- marked judiciously, "He's as good as Bob Hope!"

Mr. Frost will arrive at Agnes Scott on Saturday, January 26. Informal conferences and lunch- eons, so that students may meet and talk with the poet, will be announced later.

Lightning, Sprinkler System, Elevator Share In Evolution of Main Building

In the year 1891 Agnes Scott Institute experienced two major stages of development Main Building was completed and Miss Louise McKinney journeyed from a teaching posi- tion in West Virginia to live and teach at Agnes Scott. Miss McKinney taught here for 46 years and still resides on South Candler Street. She and Dr. James

Main Building, Agnes Scott Institute

Ross McCain, President Emeritus of the college, today provide a rich supply of source material concerning the history and back- ground of the Institute and of Main Building.

Main Building, or Agnes Scott Institute as it was originally in- scribed, was begun in the year 1890. Before and during the con- struction of the building, the young women who attended "the Institute" held classes in a small white house which still stands across the railroad tracks. After playing their part in the construc- tion by laying the bricks in the "Dieckmann corner," sixty girls moved from the white house into Agnes Scott Institute, which, at

that time, was the one and only building "on campus."

Since Main was the center of all activity for the school, some of the rooms which we now know as bedrooms or date parlors at that time were practice rooms or recitation rooms. The outer con- struction of the building has even been changed. There were two wings which extended from either end of the building into what we now call the quadrangle.

In the wing off of the End Date Parlor was the kitchen, which served the school dining room on the basement floor under the Date Parlor. In the wing which extend- ed from what we now call the McKinney Room was the power

plant which pumped water and provided heat and electricity for the school. Miss McKinney recalls that at that time Agnes Scott was the only building in Decatur to have electric lights and it was quite a thrilling thing for the town people to see them go on in the evening.

Besides the dining room in the basement there was a small gym- nasium, the business office where books and supplies could be bought, and the treasurer's office. On the first floor the Deans Of- fice was exactly where it is today and across the hall to the left of the entrance was the President's Office. Dr. McCain remembers how he enjoyed meeting the girls' callers as they waited for the young ladies in his office.

Agnes Scott's date parlors were originally recitation or class rooms. Each teacher had a room in which a certain "number of (Continued on page 4)

Lonesome Dime Initiates XetUr Do Mt 1958 Junior Jaunt Drive

The "Silhouette" of 1953 included the above picture among its photographic memories for the year. What was the event? Shellbound II!

"Dante under the Dinner Table," once a familiar and much- talked-of work of art, has now been virtually lost in the files of the museum of lost art treasures.

The 1957 "Silhouette" has reserved space for bringing back to life once more this picture and others like it. But photographs cannot capture mere figments of the imagina- tion. They require substance. And substance for Shellbound means lights . . . action . . .

"Let's finish the job!" This is the theme of the 1957 March of Dimes campaign against polio.

The March of Dimes will be finished with polio when polio is finished as a crippler of human beings and when repair of the damage it has done is carried to the limit of our know- ledge and ability. This cannot happen all at once not even with the help of the Salk vaccine.

Since the vaccine was scientifically appproved for general use in April, 1955, almost 43,000,000 Americans have begun the course of three shots which are necessary for maximum protection. In the months ahead, it is the hope of the Nation- al Foundation for Infantile Paralysis not only that these millions will complete the course but that as many more will start it. J

Today there is a growing movement for campus vaccina- tions against polio in colleges and universities throughout the nation. Increasing numbers of academic institutions are providing Salk vaccine for their students and young faculty members as part of an over-all program aimed at increasing immunization of the nation's most susceptible individuals.

At Stanford University in California, a vigorous campus vacination program is being supported by "an enthusiastic

committee of students" serving the Stanford University Heal- th Service, through the cooperation of the local chapter of the National Foundation.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower says: "The American people recognize a debt of gratitude to the National Founda- tion for Infantile Paralysis and to its founder, the late Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose personal courage in over- coming the handicap of poliomyelitis stands as a symbol of the fight against this disease."

So "Lets finish the job!" means "Let's start finishing the job." The whole job will take years. It is no quick matter to put out a fire that has raged through our country each sum- mer for many years. The challenge of meeting a disaster is never limited to absorbing the loss of what has been de- stroyed; it must include the cost of rebuilding, replacing, restoring, so that the human body is once again a fitting dwelling place for the human spirit.

tion to this doctrine from various parts of the world.

This reaction has been mixed. Many Americans were concerned more about whether or not the president should have such power. Some said that the doctrine would be "an undated declaration of war." However, Congress moved slowly in expressing any opinions.

Iraq, Turkey and Iran, bound to the West by oil ties and mili- tary alliances, welcomed the pro- gram. However, Jordan, Syria and Egypt were deeply suspicious. Saudi Arabia is tied to the United States by her oil and an alliance, but she has also committed her- self to aid Jordan by an agree- ment with Egypt and Syria.

Russia has branded the pro- gram as one of imperialistic in- tentions and as one to "suppress the movement for national inde- pendence." Red China agrees with Russia. In a declaration from Mos- cow it was stated that Russia and Red China condemn the program and intend to "continue rendering the necessary support to the peo- ples of the Near and Middle East."

This Red promise means, prob- ably, that the Communists will try to win over Egypt and other Arab states by matching the U. S. aid. However, it is felt that the Communist world will not be able to compete with the economically stronger United States.

NEA Recognizes CentennialJ Honor Improves Educational Facilities

Changes in the materials and equipment of American schools are hinged closely to changes in life outside the school, observes the historian, Dr. Edgar B. Wesley, who is writing the story of the National Education Association's first 100 years. The NEA will recognize its centennial in 1957.

"It is now difficult to name a product which the schools do not buy or one that has no education- al utility," he says, pointing out that in 1857 a building, some seats, and a few books met the require- ments of the typical school.

"Making no pretensions of being charitable or disinterested but frankly embracing the motivation of the capitalistic system, com- mercial suppliers of the tools of education nevertheless have made contributions of great value to the cause of education," he says.

Commercial exhibits in connec- tion with NEA conventions began with the 1880's, mixed with ex- hibits of school work. In 1924 com- mercial exhibitors became organ- ized as the "Associated Exhibitors of the NEA." They have estab- lished a code of ethics for them- selves and pledged to limit them- selves to "reliable" firms produc- ing "tools for education."

Recognizing that textbooks and school equipment today are great- ly improved, Wesley cites some freakish fads ofg yesteryear in school supplies and equipment. Collections of orations, printed "with marks for emphasis, tones, inflections, and gestures," were popular in days of "elocution," he says. An interlinear translation of "Caesar," meant to bring relief to the poorly-prepared and over- worked teacher, started the "pony" which has operated sub-rosa to "relieve" some unscupulous stu- dents unto this day.

A magnetic globe, accompanied by small magnetic pieces repre- senting races, animals and vegeta- tion, demonstrated "gravity" to geography classes in an early in- novation. Another was a map on a white satin bag that could be in- flated into a twelve-inch globe.

Despite the influence of such fads, Wesley says, the suppliers of educational materials and aids to teachers must be recognized not only as contributors to the effec- tiveness of teaching but as promo- ters of educational progress. Rep- resentatives of major textbook publishers from the early days on have often been well-dnformed men who carried educational ideas from school to school and helped good ideas spread, he points out.

In cooperation with the fresh- man class meetings, '60 Club is conducting a special series of five programs on "The Abundant Life." Beginning this series, Miss Miriam Koontz addressed the class on Monday, January 21, on "Signs of Maturity" and led a follow-up discussion at the '60 Club meeting on Tuesday after- noon.

According to Carolyn Mason, '60 Club program chairman, "these programs are planned to help the freshmen find answers to some of the major questions which confront college students and to guide them toward a rich- er experience in college and later life."

The regular meeting of the French Club will be held on Thursday, January 24, at 4 :30 p.m. at Kennedy House, 341 S. Candler Street. The program will feature scenes from "Le Petit Prince" presented by members of the 101 French classes.

"La scene du Mouton" will be played by M. Pierre Thomas and Marcia Tobey, "La scene de la Rose" will star Anne Corse, Aud- rey Johnson, and Paula Pilkenton. Mary Anne Donnell and Kay Lamb will enact "La scene du Roi," and Martha Sharp and Nancy Awbrey will play in "La scene du Vani- teux."

"La scene^du Buveur" will be dramatized by Patricia Perin and Leoniece Davis, and Sara Anne Carey and Crawford Feagin will be "Le Businessman" and "Le Petit Prince." "La scene du Ren- ard" will present Martha Starrett and Emily Bevins; Barbara Harri- son and Charlotte Henderson will tell the story of "L'Aiguilleur." "La scene de l'Echo" will be acted out by Kay Walters, Betsy Roberts and June Hall.

Council Arranges Sophomore Series

In concurrence with the fresh- man and senior discussion groups this quarter, Advisory Council has arranged a series of sophomore discussions, to be held Monday nights at 8:30 p.m. in Walters Rec Room. The first of this series, "Qualities of Gracious Leader- ship," led by Mrs. Sims, was Jan- uary 21.

a four-day campus. The commit- tee felt that this penalty was too strict and recommended that a three-day campus become auto- matic. The Executive Committee accepted this.

Formerly, there was confusion about a rule which says that a student must sign out when visit- ing in a home off-campus. The committee clarified this to mean "paying a Visit" (such as having a meal in a home), not just "run- ning by to say "hello."

The Rules Committee also dis- cussed the possibility of sopho- mores riding with seniors at night without chaperones. This was recommended to the Privilege Committee and accepted.

The student body is urged to attend the meetings of the Rules Committee. Suggestions for rule changes and clarification may be given to any member of the Ex- ecutive Committee.

Many questions concerning Ag- nes Scott's honor program were asked during Honor Emphasis Week. Feeling that the campus should have these answered, Stu- dent Government has asked to have some of the honor program's basic policies interpreted by Dr. Alston and Miss Scandrett. These interpretations will appear in the "Agnes Scott News" in the weeks following, and it is hoped that these articles will answer some ba- sic questions.

This should be a time of honor reemphasis. Agnes Scott's honor system can be effective only by having times of examination, evaluation, and interpretation. In these next few weeks, students will be able to examine honor as it is exercised in community liv- ing.

Student meeting tomorrow, Jan- uary 24, will feature a mock Exec meeting. Students are invited to attend and learn how the com- mittee handles cases.

Scotties Revisit Old South, Sway Under Spanish Moss

The Old South in song and dance reigned supreme this weekend both on the Agnes Scott campus and elsewhere, and Scotties re- sponded to this "days of yore" theme in their best Southern manner. Nancy Kimmel and her co-workers are to be commended for staging a production that captured all the gaiety of that period, yet left the audience with a certain nostalgic twinge as the last notes of -Dixie" faded away in the finale ... a most difficult feat to have accomplished so well.

Throughout the weekend, out-of-town guests were seen aplenty strolling the grounds. Dot Martin, Mary Ruth Watson, Keo Keller, 1 Nellie Strickland, Jo Sawyer, Gretehen Elliot, Jan Matheson, and Shirley McDonald were a few f the lucky girls who had imported dates" for the dance. Ramona Cartwright, who has never missed a Junior event yet, breezed in on her way to Washing- ton to attend the Inaugural Hall, where she found Marianne (wiiiis. The K.A.'s, long known to be the Confederacy's staunchest up- holders, held their annual Convivium in honor of Lee's birthday at the Piedmont Driving Club. Seen sipping their mint julep-less's were Libby Hanna, Peg Elliot, Boo Florence, Sue Lile, Carol Rogers, Betty Garrard, Jimsie Oeland, Drew Blankner, Margaret Benton, Doreen Greenfield, Nancy Bowers, Nancy Niblack, Susan Foxworth,' Portia Strickland, and Nora Ann Simpson. Another Tech group, the Sigma Nu's, formally entertained Pat Gover, Ann Blackshear, Liz Shumaker, Dale Dick, and Carlanna Lindamood with a supper and dance at the Standard Country Club.

Over Emory way, the Sigma ( his and their dates journeyed to Avondale for a party at^the American Legion Club there. Judy and Jody Webb, Sandra Diekerson, Margaret Fortney, and Lila McGeachy partook of the fun and fellowship these good brothers offered. More Emory socialites Included Camille Strickland, La- Vonne Nalley, Mary Rivers Stubbins, Kendall Hood, and Lynn Frederick who danced with the S'.A.E.'s. An extended survey of Emory's fraternity row saw Mary Hart Richardson, Diane Parks, "Pee Wee" Fowlkes, and Sara Lu Persinger partying at the Delta Tau Delta house. The Phi Delt's made a special evening of it with an excursion to Snapfinger Farm accompanied by a host of Scotties. Liz Acree, Cynthia Butts, Myra Glasure, Barbara Specht, Boogie Helm, Tissie Rogers, and Jean Salter were among those that left the lights of the city behind and hearkened to the country's call. ,

The hold-over of "The Pajama Game" continued to attract many Scotties who returned to campus humming "Hey There, You With the Stars in Your Eyes." . . . Nancy Awbrey, Sara Margaret Heard, Suellen Beverly^ Ann Whisnant, Judy George, Carolyn Hazard, 'Audrey Johnson, and Curt Swords can be counted as some of those with new playbills for their bulletin boards. A combo was in order at the Tech Beta House, and Dolly Bates, Eve Purdom, Martha Davis, Sarah Adams, and Helen Scott Maddox took full advantage of a night of music there. The Phi Delt engineers played host to Jill Imray, Val Edwards, Dana Hundley, Nancy Frank- lin, Sally Smith, Eunice Simmons, and Kay Richards, to mention a few. Cathryn Collins, Rene Shenk, and June Connally enjoyed the hospitality of the Kappa Sigs nearby.

Individual Recognition this week goes to Sara Townsend, a new member of the Senior Carat Club, also to Paula Bagwell and Kay Fuller, the recipients of a Sigma Nu and Beta pin respectively. And to Louise Rigdon, the new Emory A.T.O. sweetheart, plus Anne Dodd, who received a similiar honor from the Tech Chi Phi's, our heartiest Congrats.

Freshmen, Sophomores Score Seen in Passing Wins in Basketball Competition

By Helen Hendry and Nancy Turner

Class competition for the basketball championship started off with victories for the freshmen and sophomores over the seniors and juniors on January 18.

Getting off to a fast start, freshman, Sylvia Saxon, scored two points in a lay-up shot in the

first few seconds of the game. In the first quarter the freshmen dominated the ball with the guards setting up a strong zone defense to offset any senior attack and the forwards keeping good control over the ball. Peace Fewell's lay- up shot made the score 4-1 at the end of the first quarter.

The second quarter again showed the freshman skill as Nancy Du- vall, Caroline Michael, and Jane Norman sparked the defense, and the forwards added six points to their score. Margie DeFord and Carolyn Herman connected with two lay-ups to bring the score to 10-5.

The seniors came back fighting after the half with Herman and DeFord leading the offense and scoring four points each. Boo Flor- ence sank two balls to give the freshmen four points, and both sides made free shots on fouls to bring the score to a 17-15 fresh- man advantage.

In the last quarter the score was tied twice; once at 20-20 and again at 22-22. The freshmen pulled ahead by making good the free shots that they received for senior fouls.

At the end of the game the score stood at 27-24, showing that the freshmen have a team that will be stiff competition for the other classes.

Fast - moving, smooth - shooting Charlene Bass netted a total of 14 points in the game Friday to spark the Sophomore team to a slim 30-27 victory over a tena- cious Junior six. An atmosphere of excitement and tension marked the nip and tuck battle between the two evenly-matched teams as opposing forwards met point with point in a furious scoring contest.

In the first minute of the game, Soph Sarah Brown connected with

a free throw to give the Sopho- mores a short-lived edge over their opponents. The Juniors then took the lead with a free throw and a toss from Becka Fewell. A beau- tiful overhead crib shot by Brown tied the score, but the lead again shifted as Hazel Ellis, a good, smooth ball-handler, began to rack up points for the Juniors.

The second quarter saw the Sophs ready for action. Aided by an able defensive trio, Mitchell, Harris and Shaw, the Sophomore forwards broke to the basket time and again to tilt the score in their favor. In the last minutes of the quarter, the hard-pushed Juniors, now trailing 15-11, encroached on the Sophs' lead as Nancy Kim- mel's high, long shots began to meet the basket.

The Juniors got off to a fast start in the second half, tying the score 19-19. The fast Soph for- wards seemed unable to break through to their basket as they had done previously, and needless bouncing and passing slowed their offensive game. Junior guard Mar- tha Meyer starred in the defen- sive play, grabbing rebound after rebound from the forwards' grasp. A sudden scoring splurge in the last minute brought the excite- ment to a pitoh, and two shots in the remaining seconds clicked to clinch the win for the Sophomores.

young ladies sat," similar to homerooms. The End Date Parlor originally had a double purpose. In the day time a partition cut the large room into two small class rooms, and in the evening the partition was raised for a study hall.

At the opposite end of the building there was not a' hall separating the McKinney and Dieckmann rooms; rather, this section was one large room in which chapel was held. After the hall was placed there, the Dieck- mann room was the music studio.

On the second and third floors were bedrooms with a bath at each end of the hall. The teachers lived on these floors also, and Miss McKinney recalls how close a relationship the students and teachers enjoyed. "It was more like a family."

When asked about a communi- cation system within the building, Miss McKinney said that they had what were known as speaking tubes on each floor. She chuckled over, fond memories of amusing incidents concerning those tubes. The girls arose in the morning and went to bed at night at the signal of a whistle from the power room.

On the fourth floor of Main were the music practice rooms and the two rooms belonging to the Propylaeum and Mnemosynean Literary Societies. It was up there that the girls enjoyed "shindigs" and fellowship on Saturday nights.

The tower room has an inter- esting background, for in there was and j still is a water tank which supplied the school with

water. On this tank are names of . girls who were given the privi- lege of writing their names for initiation. The tank could still be used today with the artesian well which is at the side of Buttrick.

The school library began its evolution in the President's Of- fice where there was, according to Miss McKinney, a bookcase containing only books by Scott, Dickens, and Thackeray, and a dictionary. From this place the library was moved to the second floor tower room; from here it was finally located in the End Date Parlor on the first floor.

Main Building has had several renovations since it was first built. In 1943 the sprinkler sys- tem was put in. In 1949 one of the girls struck a match near one of the pipes and the building was instantly flooded. In 1941 the elevator was installed and new hardwood floors put in. The light- ing system was also improved.

In 1951 lightning struck a cor- ner of the tower and a buttress was knocked off and fell through the attic into the room of one of the students. This touched off the sprinkler system and again every- thing was flooded. For almost a year after that accident Main was completely empty. Since that time Main has essentially been as we know it today.

With the gradual appearance of new buildings to take much of the college activity away from Main, the building which was originally known as Agnes Scott Institute has evolved and changed until it is hardly recognizable as the first and only building.

He has published a number of books on such diverse figures as Shelley and Hemingway and is a frequent contributor to varied periodicals including the book section of the "New York Times," where he often reviews books in the fields of fiction and romantic poetry.

Professor Baker is said to be an urbane land witty lecturer and a person who makes easy connec- tion with his audience. In his lec- ture at Agnes Scott he promises to talk about how Yeats' part in Irish nationalism and his associa- tion with the Abbey Theater af- fected his lyric poetry. Yeats' work as director of the Abbey, his friendship with Synge and Lady Gregory, and his whole participa- tion in the Young Ireland Move- ment connect him with an excit- ing chapter of literary history.

Sfudents, Scouts, 'Spacemen Enjoy Bradley Observatory

Most of the girls at Agnes Scott take very much for granted the strange little building which stands' at the top of the wooded hiil just across Dougherty Street. There are undoubt- edly some students who have never even seen Bradley Ob- servatory. And yet, Agnes Scott receives wide recognition from many sources because of the astronomical facilities found here.

Bradley Observatory not only brought acclaim to Agnes Scott, but it brought astronomy to the Southeast. It was the first of its type in this area and was the first observatory to be built in the United States since 1917. There was no good telescope south of Virginia at the time.

It has fostered widespread in- terest in astronomy, as evidenced in Ynany ways. Groups from col- leges and universities frequently request permission to visit it. This month alone, Dr. William Calder, head of the Physics Department and a well-spring of information about the Observatory, has re- ceived over two hundred calls from groups Individual parties, Scout groups, scientific clubs, and others who wished to visit it. Al- though Dr. Calder admits the number of calls was unusually large this month, such avid inter- est keeps him extremely busy throughout the year.

Interest in astronomy is dis- played in other ways also, such as by this typical letter which reached the astronomy depart- ment recently:

ous European universities, includ- ing the Universities of Berlin and Breslau. Before beginning his teaching career, he served during World War I as war chaplain in the German army. After the war, Tillich taught theology at the University of Berlin, was Profes- sor of Philosophy of Religion at Dresden and Leipzig, and Profes- sor of Philosophy at the Univer- sity of Franki'ort-am-Main. Critic of Nazism

Dr. Tillich came to this coun- try in 1933 when, as an outspoken critic of Nazism, he was com- pelled to leave Germany after the rise of Hitler. He became a Uni- ted States citizen in 1940.

From his arrival in this country until his retirment in 1955, Dr. Tillich was Professor of Theology at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. He then served on the faculty of Harvard Divinity School and is now University Pro- fessor, a title reserved for a small number of scholars free to work on the "frontiers of knowledge" without restriction as to field.

From his early German writ- ings up to the present, Dr. Til- lich's main, interests have always been the boundary line between theology and philosophy, and gen- erally between religion and cul- ture. In his earlier years, his in- terest was in the relation of re- ligion to social and political life, later becoming centered in the re- lation between religion and depth psychology, as well as religion and the arts especially the visual arts. Author

In addition to his lecturing, Dr. Tjllich is at present completing the second volume of his life work, systematic Theology. He is

author of The Protestant Era; The Shaking of the Foundations; The Courage To Be; Love, Power, and Justice; The New Being; and Biblical Religions and the Search lor Ultimate Reality.

Dr. Tillich has also had several books published in German. In 1956 he received the Goethe Plaque of the City of Frankfurt, Ger- many, for his achievements "dur- ing an era of recklessness and calamitous upheaval, in sustaining the concept of the dignity and freedom of the individual."

CA To Feature Hall, Religious Speaker

Dr. Warner Leander Hall, Sr., pastor of the Covenant Presbyter- ian Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, will be the featured speaker during Religious Empha- sis Week, February 12-15. Chris- tian Association is currently mak- ing plans for the four-day ob- servance, which will include morn- ing chapel talks, individual con- ferences and evening discussions in the Hub. A communion service on Friday evening will climax the week's activities.

Dr. Hall has been pastor of the Covenant Church for ten years. Before that time, he was located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. During the summer of 1955, he was ex- change minister at Kilmarnock, Scotland. Some of his formal edu- cation was obtained at Edinburgh.

The Warner Halls have two children: Warner, Jr., who is a senior at Davidson College, and Nancy, who is a senior at Myers the Park High School.

Students wave from the root of Bradley Observatory where they enjoy frequent "astronomical out- ings." Built in 1950, the Observatory brought acclaim to Agnes Scott College and introduced astrono- my to the Southeast.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday. January 30. 1957

College study is often proof of the old adage: The more one learns about a subject, the less he finds he knows about it. Fortunate is the day when the student, pouring over an old subject, hits upon a new idea. Out of the darkness of "nothing" appears a momentary light of "something."

In the words of Robert Frost: "Others taunt me with having knelt at well-curbs Always wrong to the light, so never seeing Deeper down in the well than where the water. Gives me back in a shining surface picture Me myself in the summer heaven godlike Looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs. Once, when trying with chin against a well-curb, I discerned, as I thought, beyond the picture, Through the picture, a something white, uncertain, Something more of the depths and then I , lost it. Water came to rebuke the too clear water. One drop fell from a fern, and lo, a ripple Shook whatever it was lay there at bottom, Blurred it, blotted it out. What was that whiteness? Truth? A pebble of quartz? For once, then, something." D.R.

One of our most challenging and beneficial opportunities as members of the Agnes Scott community is the privilege that we have of hearing many fine lecturers and scholars, often internationally known in their respective fields. These speakers are brought to our campus under the auspices of Lecture Association or the University Center and they pro- vide stimuli for greater intellectual growth not only for stu- dents but for visitors as well. It is an opportunity that we should not take for granted but should delight in and ap- preciate.

Last night we heard once again America's poet laureate, Robert Frost, entertain and stimulate an overflowing and enthusiastic audience. Mr. Frost is always a most welcomed visitor on the Agnes Scott campus and offers an unforgetable experience in his annual lecture.

Tomorrow night, Dr. Paul Tillich, professor at Harvard University and visiting scholar in the University Center, will speak in Gaines Chapel on "Religion and the Arts." Dr. Tillich is one of the most outstanding philosophical theologians, according to Mr. Kline, and is paying his first southern lecture visit. Hearing Dr. Tillich will be a rare and broaden- ing experience. L. S.

ike's Middle East Policy Gains Ground in Washington Circles

Eisenhower's Middle East Policy seems to be gaining

ground in Washington. Saturday, the House Foreign Affairs

Committee urged the administration to act boldly in the

solving of specific Middle East problems. The Committee's

report was a formal endorsement of the Eisenhower Doctrine.

Success for the resolution' in the ., ' . _

added that Senate action on the

Middle East proposals should not

believes that the Senate sihould

first act upon the Middle East

proposals and then look into the

matter of Dulles' conduct of

American foreign policies.

The House committee has sup- ported the President's request for the authority to use American forces against obvious Communist aggression in the Middle East and for power to give this area econo- mic aid up to $200,000,000 without legislative restrictions.

The House Committee's report urged that the administration take some positive steps in deal- ing with the fundamental pro- blems in tihe Middle East such as the Arab-Israeli dispute, the Suez Canal dispute, and the issue con- cerning refugees. Although the committee supported the Middle East proposals it made clear the fact that these proposals fell short of dealing with the immediate problems of the Middle East. The report urged the administration to make leading steps in bringing peace and security to this troubled area.

In addition, the committee re- jected the idea that the resolution would either enlarge or diminish the constitutional powers of the presidency. It also stated that the resolution was free of any implications that would set a pre- cedent for action that would weaken or restrict the presidency in the future. It said that the

Patti Forrest, sophomore: "At first, I was disappointed in the lack of class competition. How- ever, as the campaign progressed, the spirit of cooperation between the classes made a wonderful con- tribution to campus spirit as a whole. I feel that there should be some plan for having a Junior Jaunt queen.

Virginia Redhead, senior: "The new spirit behind the money-rais- ing campaign was excellent. The thermometers were particularly good in promoting and sustaining enthusiasm. In view of the fact .that it was an entirely new type of campaign, a smaller quota might ihave been advisable.

(Continued from Page 1) ted States. The Atlanta Astrono- my Club, one of the most active clubs of this type in the nation, has made the Observatory its home and meets there every month.

1947 was a lucky year for Ag- nes Scott, when Dr. Calder left an excellent observatory at Carle- ton College in Northfield, Minne- sota, and came to the campus. Since then he has become an in- tegral part of campus life with his harp playing, his singing dog "Stormy," his genuine friendli- ness, and his "tours of the sky" on the Observatory roof with classical music in the background. Planetarium

The first year that he was here, he began working on a home- made planetarium. It was com- pleted two x years later after a great deal of work and was soon to play a significant role in the building of Bradley Observatory. School children flocked to see the stars projected upon a quilt ceil- ing rigged up by Dr. Calder.

The excitement spread and Dr. James Ross McCain, President Emeritus, admits that it' was this little planetarium which fostered much of his enthusiasm in astron- omy. At any rate, shortly there- after he began planning for Agnes Scott to build an observatory. For some time, the schools in the Uni- versity Center had talked abbut an observatory in the Atlanta area. Now Dr. McCain began making concrete plans.

It took a great deal of personal work on the part of our President Emeritus to secure the funds for this project. The Bradley Foun- dation in Columbus contributed $5,000 tc the newly-proposed plan, and other foundations were also generous.

The Aluminum Company of America gave the quarter-inch aluminum plate for the dome, which was in itself a tremendous gift. The R. D. Cole Company in Atlanta, maker of water tanks, agreed to make the dome, but later said if they'd known what a hard job it was going to be they wouldn't have undertaken it. The telescope had been used by a mul- ti-millionaire in Philadelphia just as a hobby, and Agnes Scott pro- cured this, outbidding such schools as the University of Washington.

Other individuals contributed to making this plan a success. Dr. Calder designed it totally, except for architectural technicalities. It took about a year to build the Observatory. It was completed in the first part of 1950 and dedicat- ed the same year.

Bradley Observatory's telescope is a thirty-inch one, and although this may sound tiny in comparison to the 200-inch one at Mt. Palo- mar, it is the largest in the South- east. It is especially good for ob- servatory purposes, although not as well-suited for photographing. Dr. Calder tells of the difficulty (Continued on Page 4)

Between Semester Invaders Storm Southern Stronghold

Agnes Scott was literally invaded last weekend by a host of college men from other campuses that were enjoying the breathing spell of "between semesters" holidays. Even the uncooperative elements couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of those Scotties who, ready for a mid-winter pickup, went all out to show their visitors the best of what Atlanta has to offer. So a good time was had by all . . .

Davidson led in the Southern trek by descending en masse on the campus. Susan Purser, Betty Jean Meek, Peggy Edney, Jane King, Mary Dunn, and Sally Meek were among the ones that looked especially happy to see the North Carolina caravan arrive, plus Caroline Fruit t who hosted a N.C. State fellow. Other irls who were squired by "Foreign Men" include Barbara Lake? IT. of Kentucky, Helen Burkitt Vanderbilt, Gretchen Elliott ( lenison, Pat Perin U. of Fla., Jean Salter and Scotty Maddox-Auburn. Visitors do make the world go 'round, n'est-ce pas?

However, the Scotties who had to content themselves with the local gentry didn't do too badly for themselves. The Tech Navy dance at the Officers club at Chamblee saw Lynn Frederick, Jeanne Slade, Leonice Davis, Dale Dick, Judy George, and Joan St. Clair waltzing with the men resplendent in dress blue and gold braid. Back at the S.A.E. house, Boogie Helm, Cynthia Grant, Betty Lewis, Bar- bara Alderson, Runita McCurdy, and t Kay Weber tripped the light fantastic with another group of engineers.

Come more "slide-rule students," the Kappa Sigs held a rush party which attracted Martha Bethea, Peg Elliott, Corky Feagin, Lil Hart, Janie Matthews, Rosemary Roberts, and Sylvia Saxon. Nearby Linda Nichols and Ann Whisnant partied at the Phi Kappa Sigma house and Dolly Bates, Laura Parker, and Barbara Spec lit made merrie with the Phi Sigma Kappa's. A slightly different aspect of night life found Libby Gay and Dana Hundley cheering the Tech swimming team on to a final spurt at the meet.

Other not strictly fraternity dates found Eve Purdom, Pat Lenhardt, Marcia Tobey, Kay Fuller and Shirley Lawhorne forgetting their cares amidst the entertainment offered by Carmichael's floorshow. At the Dinkier Plaza, Blythe Posey, Caro McDonald, and D. A.

The Emory Sigma Chi's Iheld their famed Sweetheart Ball at the Standard Country Club. Ann Lowry, Janice Bowman, Sissy Hurley, Kay Lamb, Jorie Muller, Susan O'Neal, Kay Richards, and Helen Smith hummed "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" in the wee small hours. On fraternity row the Sigma Pi's attracted Margaret Rice, Liza Morris, Anne Akerman, Suzanne Manges, Helen Salfiti, Sarah Lu Pers'inger and Fran Shepard.

Fewell Spurs Frosh Victory; Juniors Defeat Seniors, 33-20

By Helen Hendry and Patricia Stewart

Peace Fewell was undisputed high scorer for the Fresh- man team as they racked up their second straight victory of the season by clowning the Sophomores, 31-29. The Fresh- men surged ahead in the first quarter with Fewell, Saxon, and Florance each scoring within seconds of one another to grab a quick 5-0 lead.

A sudden splurge of energy from the Sophomore guards slow- ed the Frosh shooters while Char- lene Bass broke to the basket for a score and Ruth Currie tossed from the side to threaten the Freshman lead. Both teams of- fered a strong defensive with the Sophomore guards sparked by Marion Walton exceeding in speed, and the Frosh trio led by Willa Muse excelling in rebounds.

The second quarter saw the Freshman forwards connecting to increase their lead. As in the first quarter the Sophs made a quick comeback after a slow start, and a hard, fast struggle ensued. The Sophs slowly encroached on the Frosh lead until in the last three minutes the score stood at a tight 18-16 difference in favor of the Frosh.

The second half was marked in general by numerous fouls. Both teams fought desperately for the lead, and the result was haphazard passing and shooting which ham- pered both teams.

In the last three minutes of the game, a beautiful side shot by Bass tied the score 29-29. Then the fouling took its toll. Spectators watched tensely as three consecu- tive fouls were called on the Sophomores. Two out of the three throws were completed to give the winning 31-29 score to the Frosh. Juniors vs. Seniors

The Seniors, crippled by the loss of forward Jackie Murray, proved easy prey for the spirited Juniors Friday to the tune of 33-20. The Juniors, led by their almost infallible forwards Becca Fewell, Hazel Ellis, and Nancy Kimmel, captured the lead early in the game and remained well ahead throughout.

Ellis and Fewell began in the first quarter to show their well- coordinated teamwork that result- ed in their scoring 16 and, 14 points respectively. The first quar- ter was marked by aggressive playing on each side which re- sulted in a multitude of foul shots.

The Junior team continued their scoring until they led by 12 points, then , put in their second team. The Seniors, crippled in number of players and reserves, now be- gan to move. Virginia Ann Red- head and Margie DeFord began scoring on the eager but unor- ganized Junior second team.

But with the Seniors gaining rapidly through Redhead's and DoFord's scoring, the original Ju- nior team was sent back in. Junior guards Meyer, McCall and Sydnor soon ended the scoring by Senior forwards and once again the spectators were given the treat of watching the excellently planned plays of the Junior for- wards.

Magazine Reveals Contest Deadline

March 15, 1957, is an important date for all writers, would-be and otherwise, for this date is the deadline for "Mademoiselle's" big fiction-writing contest.

This contest, an annual project of "Mademoiselle," is open to all women undergraduates under twenty-six who are enrolled in ac- credited colleges or junior col- leges. Stories must be original and the characters must be ficti- tious. The length should be be- tween 2,500 and 5,000 words, and any contestant may enter more than one story.

Two winners will be chosen by the editors of "Mademoiselle" and will be awarded $500 in cash and publication in the magazine. How- ever, "Mademoiselle" often buys at regular rates the compositions of those winning honorable men- tion. The names of the winners will be announced in the College Issue of "Mademoiselle" in Au- gust, 1957.

Dr. Calder once fraught a class in telescope making at the college, but finally arrived at the conclu- sion that girls were not the best students in that particular field. Accoustics

The original planetarium, which was first in the basement of the old science hall, is now in the basement of the Observatory, in a small, dome-shaped room. Dr. Calder tells many funny stories which happened in this room due to the odd acoustics of the curved ceiling. Often he heard the con- versation of a student and her date whispered right in his ear, although they were sitting across the room from him in the dark watching the stars and planets move across the ceiling.

Agnes Scott is fortunate to have the opportunity of seeing the great dome slowly rumble around until the stars shine through the open- ing in the ceiling, of seeing Saturn with its rings, and of seeing the breathtaking beauty of a nebu- lous star cluster.

Heavens above! We thank our lucky stars for Bradley Observa- tory!

He was graduated from Annapolis, but three years later resigned from the Navy to become

In 1929 Baldwin joined the "New York Times." His dual back- ground became increasingly valu- able as the war years approached. In 1937 he was appointed military and naval correspondent for the "Times" and traveled throughout Europe to inspect military devel- opments. He covered almost all of the widely-flung battle areas of World War II, from the South Pacific to North Africa, England and France, always getting as close to the front line as possible to observe actual battle strategy.

Since the war, Baldwin has cov- ered almost every important mili- tary maneuver and has made ex- tensive cross-country tours of military posts, including guided missile and rocket firing installa- tions. A close observer of the atomic bomb for many years, he is one of the few men who can analyze it in terms of its non- military, as well as its military, repercussions. During the Korean War, he made extensive inspection 1 s

Donaldson Teaches Juvenile Art Class

A new addition to the Agnes Scott curriculum is an art class for faculty children. The class is under the direction of Jean Don- aldson and will meet every Sat- urday through March 2.

Jean, assisted by Mary Kinman, is conducting this class as part of her independent study program. Her study is on the purposes and procedures of art in the elemen- tary school. In order to do re- search on her subject, she started the class for faculty and some non-faculty children.

There are fourteen children in the class, divided into 1 ?so age groups: 6-8 and 8-10. -John Kline, Judy Rogers, Susanne Turner, David Garber, Mary Cartledge, Bill and Elizabeth Fox, and Julie Vail are the faculty and staff members' children taking part in the class.

The group has been working in clay and experimenting with dif- ferent materials. Plans are made for the younger children to work with sand by digging designs and then pouring in plaster. They may also do finger painting, wire sculp- ture and pipe cleaner sculpture, simple printing using various ma- terials, and perhaps attempt a mu-* ral to finish the course.

Eileen Graham, junior: "I think it was much better this year be- cause the student body worked to- gether as a whole; however, I think Junior Jaunt will be more effective next year when students more fully grasp the purpose of this sort of program. It is my opinion, too, that students should know the specific money goal."

Kit Crosby, senior: "I think Junior Jaunt was based on a good idea this year because this way so much pressure and strain was removed from everybody; as it was, Junior Jaunt was getting to be too big. Also, I think it would be better to announce the goal."

Grace Molinenx, senior: "With- out the competition, I think Junior Jaunt was a lot less effective this year, although some of the less desirable features were elimi- nated."

Religious Emphasis Week To Feature Hall Charlotte Minister, As Speaker

This year's Religious Emphasis Week, February 11-15, will present as principal speaker Dr. Warner L. Hall of the Cove- nant Presbyterian Church, Charlotte, North Carolina. The theme for 1957, "The Relevance of the Christian Faith," was chosen by Dr. Hall after consulting Christian Association Cabinet in order to select a topic which would be of interest and pertinence to the campus commu- nity.

Dr. Hall will open R. E. Week with a talk in Chapel on Tuesday entitled "The Relevance of the Incarnation: You Can't Go Home Again." Wednesday, at Convoca- tion, he will speak on "The Rele- vance of the Life of Christ: W T hat Does a Christian Do?"; and his topic for Thursday is "The Rele- vance of the Death of Christ: Do We Need a Savior?"

The guest speaker will conclude his series of talks on Friday with an address to the community on "The Relevance of the Resurrec- tion: A Foothold in Time." Dr. Hall will also speak to the '60 Club on Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. in Wal- ters Hall; on Wednesday to the Marriage Class and, at the same time on Thursday, to the Bible Club and those interested in church-related vocations.

Lapp Relates History of Campus Horsemanship; Recalls Activities at Stable Behind Steam Plant

By Catherine Girardeau

A glimpse in the direction of the steam plant may reveal an interesting building quite unfamiliar to the average Agnes Scott girl the Stable. Equestrians on campus will recognize the forsaken edifice as the once famous home of such re- nowned horses as Daisy Mae, Sky Rocket, Scatterbrain, and

Horseback riding, which has been a part of the "sports program for a long time, has fluctuated ac- cording to circumstances and the amount of interest on the part of the students. In 1931 riding was taught by Miss Carrie Sinclair. The horses were brought in from a stable in Avondale.

Mrs. Adolf Lapp recalls that by the time the groom reached Agnes Scott with the horses, he looked like the Pied Piper "with every dog and child in town tagging along behind." At that time there was a small "rough and ready" riding ring where the tennis courts are now located.

Later on> horses were provided by an Englishman, Mr. Savage. However, traffic hazards were proving dangerous as the area

around Agnes Scott built up grad- ually. For a while, the girls rode out at Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wheeler's riding school in north- west Atlanta, where the horses were the best trained of any they had ridden. The girls gave horse shows and exhibitions periodically.

Interest in horseback riding was maintained steadily by Mrs. Lapp, who continued to teach from 1932 to 1953, wth the exception of 1939- 40 when Mrs. Taylor, an experienc- ed equestrian, came to Agnes Scott as an instructor in the spring and fall. Although the war years in- terrupted the riding program tem- porarily, enthusiasm surged high- er than ever when riding classes were resumed in 1945.

In February, 1945, Dr. J. R. Mc- Cain announced that the greatly- anticipated plans for building a

stable and a new riding ring on the campus were being completed. Riding was to be taught every day with the exception of Sunday, which was rest day for the horses. Faculty members were to have ex- clusive use of the horses on one day a week.

During this period, the riding fever really hit the campus. Mrs. Lapp taught from early morning until evening. Nightfall was the only thing that tore the enthu- siasts away from the beloved horses.

The two years with the stable on campus were eventful ones. Students and faculty equestrians, (Continued on Page 3)

der the auspices of Lecture Asso- ciation, his subject will be "Secu- rity in the Atomic Age."

Baldwin accumulated knowledge' and accuracy of his subject by refusing to be a "desk" reporter. Almost constantly traveling, he has been to Europe countless times, has visited military instal- lations and war outposts through- out the world, and is a close ob- server of all military activities and developments in the U.S. He usually spends one week out of every month in Washington, divid- ing his time between the Pentagon and the State Department.

Baldwin first cultivated his practiced eye for military analysis at Annapolis, from which he was graduated in 1924. After gradua- tion, he spent thirteen months in Europe as an ensign.

Cub Reporter Next, he became a cub reporter on the "Baltimore Sun." In 1929 he joined "The New York Times" and since 1937, he has been re- porting and explaining military matters. Sensing the oncoming war that year, he spent four months in Europe, learning all he could about the growing military establishments in Germany, Italy and Russia.

He comments that in Russia, "I wasn't allowed to see any military installations at all and had to col- lect my information second-hand. I visited the military museums, and talked with as many govern- ment and newspaper people from other countries as I could, men who had already been in Russia for some time." In spite of these obstacles, he built a strong back- fog of information that served his readers well during the war years.

Appointed the "Times" Military Editor in 1942, Baldwin covered the battle areas of the South Pa- cific, North Africa, England and France. His articles from the Pa- cific won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1943. Aboard the cruiser "Au- gusta" during the Normandy in- vasion, he remained in France, reporting battle strategy, until the St. Lo breakthrough.

During the Korean War, his stories from Korea were probably the first to explain the Russian m

weapons used there. This trip in- cluded an inspection of the fight- ing fronts and naval forces oper- ating in Korea as well as an ex- tensive tour of the Pacific area Japan, Indo-China, Hong Kong and Formosa.

Atomic Developments Mr. Baldwin has watched close- ly the development of the atomic bomb, as well as that of guided missiles and rockets. He attended the second atom bomb test at Bikini, and the first public test of the bomb in Nevada in 1952. At the second test in March 1953, he crouched head down in a five- foot trench with troops and sel- ected observers. The story he wrote of this experience is con- sidered a classic.

Baldwin has gained a formidable reputation as one of the few men in the country who can analyze (Continued on Page 4)

Princeton Scholar To Visit Tomorrow

"Yeats and the Irish Renais- sance" will be the subject of a lecture by Carlos Baker tomorrow evening, February 7, at 8 p.m. in Gaines Chapel. The public is in- vited to the lecture.

A continuation of last week's lecture will be presented this af- ternoon by Dr. Abraham Velkoff at the marriage class. On Wednes- day, February 13, Dr. Warner Hall, pastor of the Covenant Pres- byterian Church, Charlotte, North Carolina, will give a talk on the adjustments of a newlywed couple in alj areas of living.

2 * THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday February 6, 1957

Raindrops sparkle on green tufts of grass. Damp moss clings to darkened limbs of pine trees. Pigeons gently "coo" while hunting for their morning meal.

Well-washed is the world about us. Have we noticed?

When at last a ray of sunlight pierces the white of morning mist, blue sky appears and for a while, wisps of clouds are tossed about by a playful wind. We take a deep breath of the cool freshness around us and pause to exclaim to a friend our delight.

It may be an ill wind that blows rainy weather to a com- munity, but such a wind has brought simultaneously to Agnes Scott several weeks of inspiration. Frost, Tillich, Baldwin and Baker the list of visiting lecturers runs almost like a jingle with an intellectual twist.

On the eve of two such weeks comes perhaps the most inspirational time of all . . . Religious Emphasis Week. During this time the campus, outwardly cleansed and refreshed by the natural elements, will have a chance to breathe again a deep, cool freshness. D.R.

The fight against polio has become a community project on our campus. Faculty as well as students have been urged to receive their innoculations. Only by immunizing every person in a community can polio at last be conquered.

Response to polio innoculations on campus so far this year has been very good. At present about one sixth of the campus has been injected with the Salk serum at our infirmary. This includes those who have just begun the series of three shots and also those who have had the second and third ones. Some students have been innoculated elsewhere by local doctors or health departments. This raises the percentage.

Most of these who have begun the injections will be fully innoculated by the beginning of polio season. However, even one or two injections will be some protection.

The infirmary reports that three to four girls come each day to begin the series of injections. The response has been greater this quarter than it was in the fall. The infirmary encourages everyone to come. G.A.R.

Growth surrounds us here at Agnes Scott. Our classmates grow and change, making even last year's photos comical. Our college grows, tearing down obsolete structures to make room for a modern dormitory and green lawns. Our library grows, adding new books, periodicals and recordings.

If environment is any valid influence on us we can not escape growth of some sort. And we have grown. We have gradually become authorities on critical analysis and micro- scopic observation, on hockey, skit writing, fraternities and Atlanta shopping.

In our college growth, however, we may have neglected the field which we most need to cultivate that of Christian- ity. Religious Emphasis Week, which starts Monday, offers an invaluable opportunity for us to evaluate what spiritual growing we have done and are yet capable of doing.

Dr. Warner Hall, an exceptional thinker and speaker, will be on campus Tuesday through Friday to guide us as far as we are willing to go and to grow by chapel talks, classes, personal conferences, and Hub discussions.

Christian Association hopes that the coming week will not be just one week out of 52 during which we emphasize religion, but rather the beginning of the most important growth of our lives our Christian growth which, finding deep roots in college will continue and discover fulfillment for life.

This Common Mar- ket would include six of the west European nations and would cre- ate a tariff-free trading area al- most as large as the United States.

The Assembly displayed their ancient fear of German domina- tion. Five former . premiers spoke against the move. It seemed as if the dream of the United Europe was slipping from Mollet's hand. At last he cried, "How often be- tween an America sometimes too impulsive, sometimes too slow to understand the perils, and a Soviet Union, disquieting and often men- acing, have we wished for the ex- istence of a united Europe, a world force not neutral but inde- pendent? This dream, this hope is today within our grasp. Have w T e the right to let it escape?"

The Assembly replied with a 'no* by a vote of 331 to 210 in ap- proval of the principles of the

Common Market, not just the prin- ciples of it.

Librarian Tells of Frosty Ride, Recalls Supper on Horseback

(Continued from Page 1)

among whom are Mrs. Edna H. Byers, Miss Kathryn dick, Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn, and Miss Laura Steele, kept the horses busy. Often they would go for supper rides on the wooded paths behind campus in the area of Mimosa, Hancock, and Winnona Drives. The area around Columbia Sem- inary also used to be a favorite place to ride.

Mrs. Byers tells how she and other faculty members used to take "the friskier horses" out ear- ly (about 6 a.m.) to wear them down for the students who would ride later in the day. The librarian enjoyed the beautiful rides in the woods, which she describes feel- ingly: "The exhilaration of riding early in the morning as the birds were singing, in autumn when the leaves were falling, or in the spring when the flowers were com- ng out is wonderful."

Riding certainly had its humor- ous moments. Mrs. Byers remem- bers one freezing cold morning when she was out with Miss Laura Coldin, formerly an assistant li- brarian here. As the riders ap- proached a stream, Miss Coldin's horse decided to lie down in the middle. And he did!

The May 16, 1945, "Agnes Scott News" records the following bit of information: "Agnes Scott's riding academy has gone coed!

Most any morning will find a bunch , of little boys down by the ring. One 11-year-old can stay all day he's been expelled from school." The accounts of horses being scared by lawnmowers and a huge cardboard box are also in- cluded in the sports coverage of this era.

Mrs. Byers relates the story of a girl who got a horse for grad- uation and brought him out to show him off around campus on Baccalaureate Sunday. Realizing that she would not be able to ride him home, the student persuaded Mrs. Byers to do it for her.

Mrs. Lapp recalls that one of the most memorable and reward- ing experiences she had was, in teaching faculty and alumnae chil- dren to ride. "It was a wonderful chance for alumnae to come back and renew acquaintances. The chil- dren loved it, too," she states.

After it became harder to rent good horses for the stables, the horseback riders had to change their procedure. They began to ride out at North Fulton, and most recently at the excellent academy of the Joe Vogts. B. C. Regen, '56, laid the groundwork for the new student riding program.

Although the stable is not in use now, there is plenty of opportunity for those who would give "a king- dom for a horse" to pursue their horseback riding or to begin it.

Scotties Brave Precipitation, Pour To Off - Campus Parties

A veritable galaxy of social events studded many a Scotty's social calendar, last weekend in spite of the "profuse precipitation" which hovered about the Atlanta and Decatur areas. Umbrellas of all hues and sizes could be seen pouring out of Main each night, and girls scurried off in various directions with determination that while one's hair may fall, our spirits never . . .

The K.A.'s at Tech feted a goodly number of Scott girls with a spaghetti supper and dance. Pat Anderson. Barbara DuvaU, Peg Elliott, Ann Trotter, Kay Lamb, Kay White, Drew Blankner, Lil Hart, Boo Florence, Mary Wilson, Ann Parker, Sue Lile, Ivy Furr, Mary Jane Pickens and Margaret Collins employed their best Italian etiquette to enjoy this unmanageable dish. A few blocks away, Carolyn Cushman, Mary Rivers Stubbins, Anne Dodd, Mar- garet McElway, and Patti Forrest partook of the Chi Phi's hospi- tality at a house dance there.

Theatre-goers last week included Jeanne Slade, Sybil Strupe, Sandra Dickerson and Beverly Delk who journeyed to the Atlanta Community playhouse for. the production of "I Am a Camera." Bopene Bogle and Julian Preble enjoyed a more graceful evening of ballet at the Tower Theatre.

Entertainment on the "hot and sweet side" was furnished on the Tech campus where Eve Purdom and Andy Lowry reveled in a jazz concert sponsored by the engineers. A quick switch from jazz to Dixieland, found Jo Hathaway and Susannah Mas ten seated at "Hank and Jerry's" surrounded by murals and that mad, mad music.

That spectacular new gym at Tech which makes "spectatoring" a pleasure attracted Peggy Fanson, Deene Spivey, Peggy Edney, Cynthia Grant, Sally Fuller, Nancy Christian, Jean Porter, Dot Ripley, Marjorie Erickson, and Eve Herriot to watch the Yellow Jackets trounce Alabama on the basketball court. Out at Lakewood Skating Rink, Margaret Dexter, Patsy Roden, Jean Salter, and Curt Swords did some actual participating on the ice covered floor.

Two big formats were in order over the weekend. The Sigma Nu's at Emory held the White Rose Formal at the Standard Country Club and Dale Dick, Doreen Greenfield, Tommie Lewis, and Sally Fortson donned their best for this occasion. Marian Barry, Cathryn Collins, Cynthia Butts, Eunice Simmons, Mary Jane Pfaff, Carlanna Lindamood, and Lila McGeacy testified they "could have danced all night" at the Tech Sigma Chi's Sweetheart Ball held at the Cherokee Town and Country Club. In the best Agnes Scott tradi- tion, Kay Weber was chosen Sigma Chi Sweetheart which truly made this evening a memorable one.

For a few miscellaneous gatherings . . . Kay Fuller, Marcia Tobey, Kay Richards and Dee Harvley partied with the Emory Beta's and Suellen Beverly and Jo Sawyer with the Tech group of the same name. Supping with the Emory ATO's were Llewellyn Bellamy, Willa Dendy and Lynn Frederick. Kay Armitage, Grace Mangum, Emily Bivens, Phyllis Cox, and Lucy Puckett accompanied the Tech Delt's out to Groovers Lake. Snap Finger Farm was the scene of an Emory S.A.E. party enjoyed byjRaines Wakeford, Marianne Gillis and Fran Gwinn. ,

The influence of the educated American woman is one of the strongest forces for good in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa- tion, not narrow specialized training, that has developed her abilities and insights. As homemajker-eitizen and as ca- reerist-citizen, she justifies magnificently the faith of those who a century ago were fight- ing for her right to learn what she wished to learn.

Juniors Upset Freshman Drive; Sophomores Overwhelm Seniors

Nancy Kimmel scored 16 points in the second half of the Jr.-Frosh tilt Friday afternoon to lead the Junior team in an exciting comeback which resulted in a 33-30 upset over the first-seeded Freshmen. This defeat was the first mar on the record of the scrappy Frosh team which had seemed well on its way to a perfect season.

Displaying their usual initiative, the Freshmen surged ahead in the first quarter. Frosh marksman Peace FeweU tossed in nine out of 10 points, while a strong Fresh- man defense held the Juniors down to a score of four.

The second quarter saw the Ju- niors still trailing. Unable to break through to the goal, the Junior shooters bombed the bas- ket with long field shots but with little success. Freshman guards Wilma Muse and Jane Norman proved a dual hindrance to the Juniors' offensive game by col- lecting rebounds and sending the ball down the court to their own waiting forwards. The Freshmen scored 11 points to strengthen their lead, and the quarter ended 21-7.

The third quarter marked the beginnings of the Junior rally. Forward Martha Meyer shifted to regular guard position, and the Junior defense tightened. Mean- while, forwards Ellis and Kimmel combined scoring forces, racking up 12 points to encroach on the Frosh lead. At the end of the per- iod, the Frosh saw a short rally and the score remained tilted, 27- 19, in their favor.

An explosive fourth period cli- maxed the Juniors' struggle for the lead. Early in the quarter, the Junior guards broke into a man- to-man defensive, and succeeded in holding the Frosh forwards at bay. Thus hampered, the Freshmen tal- lied only three points during the entire quarter. The Frosh defen- sive remained strong, and the Ju- niors again resorted to field goals. This time Kimmel's deadly long hoop shots began to click, and the Junior offensive tallied a total of 14 points. In the last minutes of the game, the Juniors grabbed the lead. The Freshmen fought hard to regain top position, but were unable to break through to the basket. The Juniors gained the ball and froze it in the last sec- onds, and the whistle marked a 33- 30 victory over the Freshmen.

The results of Friday's basket- ball games established a three- way tie between the Juniors, the Sophomores, and the Freshmen for first place in the tournament. Each of these teams has won two games and lost one game.

In the first game the Sopho- mores beat the Seniors by using excellent team work, good floor play, and exceptional accuracy in connecting for scores. The Senior forwards received the ball first, and Margie DeFord immediately

sank a push-up shot and a foul shot. Ruth Curry and Charlene Bass tied up the score with a foul shot and a push-up shot, respect- ively.

As the Sophomores began to warm up, they started breaking through the senior defense and holding the senior offense with man-to-man guarding. DeFord scored two points' for the Seniors, and Carolyn Herman connected with a foul shot, after which the rest of the first quarter was dom- inated by Sophomore play, with Curry scoring five points, Bass adding four points, and Isabella Strait bringing the Sophomore to- tal to 16 points with her four points. In the end of the quarter Herman connected a left-hand hook shot, making the score 16-8. Best Play

The second quarter was the best of the game, as both teams set up a defense that was hard to break through. Sis Burns, Marjorie Hill, and Nancy Brock held the Sopho- mores to six points made by Betty Edmunds and Martha McCoy. Jackie Murray made two points for the Seniors as Susannah Mas- ten, Eleanor Lee, and Martha Jane Mitchell prevented other scores with their guarding.

In the third quarter the Sopho- mores dominated the play with Bass showing her skill in hook shots and long shots to make eight points, Edmunds sinking two balls in from under the basket and one foul shot, and Curry connecting with a hook shot and a foul shot. Murray and DeFord scored seven points for the Seniors, putting the score at 39-17 in the Sophomores' favor.

Peggy Conine led the Sophomore scoring in the last quarter by add- ing seven points to their score. With Curry's and Strait's six more points for the Sophomores, and Murray's and DeFord's five points for the Seniors, the score stood at 53-22 when the final whistle blew a victory for the Sophomores.

the political, moral and economic influences of our newest weapons. When members of his Annapolis graduating class of 1924 selected him 30 years later, in June 1954, as the man who has "brought the most credit to the Academy and the Naval Service," his citation read: "Baldwin's keen, honest an- alysis of a fast-changing military world and his integrity, bear out the old adage that at times the pen is mightier than the sword. Although not in uniform, he is as dedicated to the Military Service as any gold-striped admiral or four-star general ... In the present troubled war-threatened years, this military analyst is carrying out a duty to his country tar above and beyond himself."

Dance Group To Give Recital Portraying Cycle Of Seasons

The Dance Group of Agnes Scott College will present its annual program on Tuesday evening, February 19, in Gaines Auditorium. .Theme of the ballet will be the four seasons with the action and choreography based on the continuous cycle of the seasons. The four principal roles to be danced are those of Winter, danced by

Nancy Trowell; Spring, Carlanna Lindamood; Summer, Louise Rig- don; Autumn, Frances Patterson; and Zephyr, the West Wind, Helen Sewell.

The first scene opens as Winter enters with her train of icicles, snowflakes, and hail. Winter dances with her companion ele- ments until two elves enter and build a fire which causes her to melt and drives her companions away.

Following the exit of Winter, Spring enters, accompanied by her joyous blossoms and flowers. It is during the dance of Spring that Zephyr, the gentle West Wind, makes her first appearance in a dance with Spring. These two exit following their dance, making way for the entrance of Summer. The leaves of Spring are wilted from Summer's heat and the Naiads, or water nymphs, revive them with their refreshing damp- ness. While Summer is dancing with the revived flowers, she is captured by the Satyrs, only to be rescued by Zephyr.

Following the exit of Summer, Autumn enters. She and the Au- tumn leaves do a vivid dance to- gether and then the leaves flutter away. After the leaves have flut- tered away, the four seasons do a dance together based on an adagio movement, one that is slow and stately. At the end of this dance, Zephyr leads the leaves back on stage. As Winter ap- proaches, the leaves begin to die and are covered by falling snow- flakes. Thus the ballet ends with the implied continuation of the

cycle of the seasons as winter once more approaches.

The program is under the direc- tion of Dance Group chairman, Carlanna Lindamood. The entire dance group has worked on the choreography with each of the seasons responsible for her own choreography. Pianist for the pro- gram will be Mrs. James Grizzard and the costumes are being de- signed and made by Leone Bowers Hamilton.

Tickets may be secured from any member of Dolphin Club or at the door.

A narration of the story of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" by Nancy Kimmel and appropriate background music will follow the entire story- of the bal- let. First, a duet by Marian Hage- dorn and Mary Ann Henderson portrays Snow White's dream of her prince who will someday come. Next the wicked queen, Louise Almand, consults the magic mir- ror, which tells her that Snow White is the fairest in the land. The angry queen sends the hun- ter, Libby Hanna, into the forest to kill Snow White, Mary Jo Co- wart. A scene of a storm in the forest follows.

Snow "White, Caroline Phelan, is awakened by animals of the forest who lead her to the cottage of the seven dwarfs. In the next scene the dwarfs -come home and find Snow White. Meanwhile, the hun- ter, Louise Law, returns to the wicked queen, Carolyn Barker, and they rejoice over Snow White's heart he has brought. The queen, Louise Almand, is enraged when the mirror again tells her that Snow White is fairer than she. The queen and five helpers

Roberts Corresponds With Hungarian Scientist, Collaborates in Study of Plant Tissue Enzymes

Not all interest in Hungary and the Hungarians is as far away as Care and UNESCO. Right here on the Agnes Scott campus Dr. Lorin Roberts of the Biology Department is work- ing with and in contact with a Hungarian in Hungary.

About a year ago Dr. Roberts received a letter from a Hungarian plant physiologist, Dr.

Bela Jambor, Chairman, Institute of Plant Physiology, L. Eotvos University, Budapest, in which Dr. Jambor stated that he had read a paper which Dr. Roberts had published. Dr. Jambor said that be was working on the same pro- ject and wanted to exchange ideas.

This appeared to be of mutual benefit because Dr. Jambor was well informed about scientific ac- tivities in Germany, Hungary, and

American ideas on this problem. These two decided to work to- gether on their research the lo- calization of certain enzymes in plant tissues. The laboratory work is done in Hungary where Dr. Jambor, as head of the school, has many workers to carry out the experimentation.

Naturally, when the revolt oc- curred, Dr. Roberts was worried about his friend, and he got in

ether relief agencies trying to find out about Dr. Jambor. Finally, in the first week of January, Dr. Roberts had a letter from Dr. Jambor in which the Hungarian said that his school was practic- ally destroyed. The library, includ- ing his personal one, was* com- pletely destroyed and most of the equipment was lost. Dr. Jambor asked Dr. Roberts to see if he could secure some help from Americans.

Dr. Roberts has been trying to help in two ways by getting books and by getting equipment and instruments. He has written to several U. S. scientific book publishers, Care Books Program, UNESCO, and the U.S. govern- ment through Senator Russell and Senator Talmadge. He has also written to the American Society of Plant Physiologists and the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science, which re- ferred him to the Rockefeller Foundation. So far, he has been successful in his efforts to obtain books but is still hoping for equip- ment. This research w T as approxi- mately half-finished when the re- volt occurred, but the two scient- ists still plan to publish a paper revealing some of the results this summer.

Of course, this connection has had more than scientific interest (Continued on Page 3)

Colonel Scott established the De- catur Female Seminary in 1889, making good use of his third for- tune.

Colonel Scott had moved south from his native Pennsylvania for his health and had done very well in the mercantile business, but he lost everything in the War Be- tween the States. A 'highly suc- cessful cotton "factorage and com- mission business" brought him a second fortune, which also was lost everything in the War Be- ner. With Florida phosphate, Colonel Scott started a fertilizer company, and later transferred his business interests to real estate. Pie then was able to con- vert his prosperity into philan- thropy, which included a school for young women.

This week's Convocation will be held on Friday, instead of Wednes- day, to honor Colonel Scott. Dr. James Ross McCain, president emeritus, will speak to the com- munity about Colonel Scott's life and his work in founding Agnes Scott College.

Alumnae groups in all parts of the country will be celebrating the date with luncheon meetings. The Charlotte, North Carolina, group will hear Mr. C. Benton Kline, assistant professor of philo- sophy, on February 22. That same day Miss Nancy Groseclose of the biology department will meet with the Valley Club of Virginia at Waynesboro. Dean S. G. Stukes will talk in Richmond, Virgina, on Founder's Day and will speak to

the Washington group on Feb- ruary 23. The Birmingham chapter will hear an address by President Wallace M. Alston on February 23.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, February 20, 1957

Greatness, elusive a trait as it is, has apparently proved itself a virtue among men. The exclamation "He's great!" may refer to anyone from the football star diving over the goal line for the winning score to the concert violinist finish- ing up the last strains of the Beethoven Concerto.

Greatness has challenged individuals in many ways during the course of history. Some would paint pictures or design cathedrals. Others would create poems or deliver eloquent speeches. Still others would demonstrate athletic prowess or win victory on the battlefield.

On February 22, Agnes Scott will pause to recognize the greatness of one of her forefathers. Colonel George Washing- ton Scott, born 128 years ago this day, was a business man, soldier, Christian gentleman and philanthropist. He is best known to us as the founder of the Decatur Female Seminary, forerunner of Agnes Scott College.

From a modest one-building beginning, Agnes Scott has grown to its position today among the top colleges of the nation. Progress and change have been apparent in the life of the institution. Yet, we may note that the ideals of the school have remained essentially the same.

Colonel Scott early endorsed the Agnes Scott Ideal drawn up by Dr. Frank H. Gaines, which called for a liberal and sound curriculum, the use of the Bible as a textbook, a high standard of scholarship, and the glory of God as the chief end of all. In writing of Colonel Scott, Dr. Gaines has said:

"He fully believed that the education according to this Ideal of the future wives and mothers would be the most promising method of securing a godly generation ... He entered upon and continued the work in the spirit of humble but strong faith in God, in the spirit of prayer, of love far his fellow- men and of service to God." Herein lies his greatness.

We do well, in observing Founder's Day, to honor one who conceived of the education of a woman as the training of a whole family and dedicated "his prayers, his encouragement, his counsel, his constant support" to making this Ideal be- come a reality. D.R.

In Christian Association's guest editorial February 6, we find these words: "Christian Association hopes that the com- ing week will be . . . the beginning of the most important growth which, finding deep roots in college, will continue and iiscover fulfillment for life."

After a week of religious emphasis led by Dr. Warner L. L, the Agnes Scott campus has surely had an opportunity Christian growth. As we heard about the "Relevance of e Christian Faith," were led in stimulating discussions, and iw evidence of deep Christian convictions in Dr. Hall, those -ith open and seeking minds found fuel for Christian growth.

r. Hall with his engaging humor and personal warmth reatly enhanced the meaning of Religious Emphasis Week.

As a followup of RE Week, Christian Association has set February 17-24 as Personal Devotions Week. During this time we may strengthen our own personal spiritual lives through vesper meditations and morning watch services.

These two weeks offer us unlimited opportunities for strengthening our Christian faith. May we be challenged by them. L.S.

Coed Trend Shows Decline Since Days of Seminary

The sight of coeds on the Agnes Scott Campus, which to- day is a rare occurrence, was not so unusual to the Agnes Scott of 1889. This was the first year of life for our institution, and Agnes Scott was then known as Decatur Female Semi- nary.

Due to the poor school system in Decatur, Dr. Frank Gaines, with the assistance of Colonel George Washington Scott, founded this school for the young ladies of the Decatur community. Miss Nannette Hopkins was brought from Staunton, Virginia, to serve as Principal, and the faculty con- sisted of a group of four: two re- gular teachers, an art teacher, and a music teacher.

The range of academic work covered approximately the first through seventh grades. However,

one year here at Agnes Scott, he speaks of his five male companions and their experience of attending classes with the "young ladies." Classes were held in the White House, a large house which stood on the site of our present Main Building. After the erection of Main, Colonel Scott had the White House moved, and the little round house that is now the prayer room was one of the buildings adjoining the original White House.

The work of the boys and girls

since grades were added from year during this first session at^ Agnes to year, a pupil often never gra-

duated or was in the graduating class for two or three years con- secutively.

The student body consisted of 61 students, six of whom were boys under the age of twelve. These six boys were sons of Deca- fcur families who wished to give their sons a better education than the one offered by the Decatur system. Only two of these six co- eds are living tody. One of these two men lives in California, and the other, Mr. Donald Donaldson, resides in Decatur.

Although Mr. Donaldson does not remember the details of his

Scott consisted of the usual read- ing, writing, arithmetic, and copy- book work, with the program of work often selected by the parents of the children. No letter or nu- merical grades were given for the work.

These six coeds may well have set a precedent for Agnes Scott College. In 1940, attendance pri- vileges were granted Emory and Tech students. Since this time, these schools have contributed a number of coeds to the Agnes Scott campus.

All that remains is for a coed to take a degree from the college. That would really set a precedent.

The following letter from Dr. J. Davison Philips, Minister of the Decatur Presbyterian Church, acknowledges Agnes Scott's par- ticipation in a recent clothing drive for Kentucky flood victims.

I would like to express to all of the students at Agnes Scott who participated in the clothing drive for the Kentucky flood victims our heartfelt appreciation. The re- sponse was most encouraging in every way.

You may be interested to know that the clothing was shipped on Friday and will be delivered by Monday at the latest to the people of the Lothair community. This is the area served by the Rev. and Mrs. William C. Brown and from their reports, the needs are quite acute following the flood.

Many homes were completely destroyed. Most of the families of the area suffered almost -total loss of clothing and household goods. The churches were heavily dam-

been a delegate to the UN and ambassador to both Britain and the United States. Gromyko speaks English fluently and has many contacts with the West. These factors might have influenc- ed the shift. With this advantage over Shepilov, Gromyko probably has a better understanding of the ways of the West.

ernment is providing food and we are seeking to meet some of the other emergency needs of the chil- dren and the adults.

With sincere appreciation for the fine cooperation and response of the Agnes Scott students, I am,

Changes in Russian Ministry May Indicate Revised Policy

Russian diplomacy and politics have been as changeable in the past year as the weather in Atlanta. Last week there ^The'coal mines are Hooded was a change in the Russian Foreign Ministry. Although the . t

Foreign Ministry m Russia is dictated to by the top party *~ leaders, changes in the head of the ministry could easily be for a number of weeks. The gov interpreted as symbolizing policy changes.

Andrei Gromyko has replaced Dmitri Shepilov as Foreign Mini- ster. This shift has caused much speculation on the part of Western observers. One view is that Shepi- lov was not satisfied in this diplo- matic post and was transferred to propaganda work, in which he is an expert. In view of the fact that the Soviet youth has been showing signs of discontent, propaganda is now particularly crucial. If this be the case, the shift has little significance.

On the other hand, Shepilov has been identified with the "soft po- licy" Russia has pursued during the past year. Gromyko is identi- fied with the "cold war policy." Since the upheavals in Russian satellites last fall, she has been diverted from her "soft policy" due to economic and political necessi- ties.

Economically the "soft policy" was a strain on the economic health of Russia as she tried to match economic aid in countries in competition with the United States assistance program. The "soft policy" advocated a loosen- ing of coercive bonds in order to "win friends and influence people." however, this loosening boomer- ranged and the satellites attempt- ed revolutions.

Some few believe that Gromyko was selected to replace Shepilov for the sake of expediency. Shepi- lov was unfamiliar with interna- tional diplomacy; Gromyko has

Dogwood Tree at Presser Elicits $10,000 Alteration in Blueprint

By Gene Allen Reinero

The year 1941 marked the first great step in Agnes Scott's expansion program. In this year the building of Presser Hall was completed.

Plans for building Presser grew out of the desire to build a Memorial Chapel for Dr. Gaines, Agnes Scott's first Presi- dent, and also from the need of

a music hall and practice rooms. The first chapel at Agnes Scott had been in the Main Building where the McKinney and Dieck- mann rooms are now located. When Rebekah Hall was built, chapel was held there in what is now the Recreation Room. The music practice rooms were on the fourth floor of Main right above the bedrooms. This posed an ob- vious problem. As the college ex- panded, the need of a larger cha- pel and additional music facilities became more acute.

Presser Hall was so named be- cause of the large gift, $65,000, given to Agnes Scott by the Theo- dore Presser Music Foundation in Chicago. Today a bust of Theo- dore Presser can be seen in the main lobby of Presser. The total cost of the Gothic style hall was $300,000.

In 1940 the University Center was organized in Atlanta, and Agnes Scott was asked to empha- size music and have an auditorium that other near-by colleges could use. The plans were changed to include two auditoriums instead of one. It was decided to make the larger one into a chapel and let it be the Memorial Chapel to Dr. Gaines. It was to be used for religious services and also as a theater. The red curtains on the stage when drawn were to be used to set the religious atmosphere and when open, the theater feel- ing.

The college had the dramatic use in mind when building the auditorium. The stage is well equipped for giving theater and music productions. There are an orchestra pit, eighteen lifts for scenery and a motor, and a big

storeroom beneath the stairs.

The smaller auditorium, known as Maclean Chapel, was designed for recitals and musical programs. It was named after Joseph Mac- lean, the first full Professor of Music at Agnes Scott. The organ that had been in the Rebekah chapel was moved to Maclean. The organ that is now in Gaines Cha- pel was designed piece by piece by Dr. C. W. Dieckmann who was at that time head of the Music Department.

Dr. James Ross McCain, Presi- dent Emeritus of Agnes Scott, re- calls several interesting stories about Presser. One has to do with the construction of the building. The dogwood tree that now stands on the bank between Presser and the little quadrangle was in the path of the original blueprint. In order to save the tree, the Hall was built in an L shape around it, costing an additional $10,000. So Dr. McCain calls it the "$10,000 dogwood tree." However, skirting the tree turned out to be econo- mically wise, because a basement was added to the building that had not been included in the original plans.

This same dogwood tree former- ly decorated the lawns of Dr. Frierson and Dr. Calder. Their houses stood where the long wing of Gaines now is. When the build- ing was started these houses were moved to their present location.

Another historical fact Dr. Mc- Cain remembers concerns the Protestant Radio and Television Center at Presser. The Center first began broadcasting here from the tiny room next to the big recitation room. For six years Agnes Scott loaned the Center music facilities and all programs went out live from Presser.

(Continued from Page 1) for Dr. Roberts. His friend, Dr. Jambor, sent him a pictorial book about Hungary and writes in his letters about his way of life. For example, Dr. Jambor has three houses (because "rent is cheap") -but can't afford a car. He has a radio but cannot buy a television set. Dr. Roberts, in trying to illu- strate our way of life, sent Dr. Jambor a Sears & Roebuck catalo- gue.

Dr. Jambor is quite a linguist. He knows five languages Hunga- rian, German, Russian, French, and English which Dr. Roberts thinks must be self-taught because Jambor takes everything literally.

His view of the crisis in Hun- gary is quite revealing. He is not a communist. Indeed, he is very patriotic, and has sent a copy of Hungary's national hymn to Dr. Roberts. He feels that the people should stay in their own country and help make things right there rather than leaveing to become part of another nation.

So, he is staying. Perhaps that one concept reveals more about Hungary than all the books he could send or all the letters he rould write.

Officer To Discuss Careers As Woves

LTJG Virginia Bradford, Wave Procurement Officer, will be on the Agnes Scott campus from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 26, to discuss the Wave officer candidate program.

The Navy offers young women an opportunity for travel and ad- venture while performing a worth- while job. It is a stimulating and well paying profession.

Qualified young women are given sixteen weeks of indoctrina- tion at Newport, Rhode Island. They are then assigned to a Navy shore establishment to complete their two years of active duty.

Although only juniors, seniors, and college graduates are eligible to enter the program, LTJG Brad- ford will be glad to talk with all college students who are interested in the Navy.

Fraternities, Nearby Colleges Attract Scotties For Weekend

Whether it is anticipation of nearing exams, or the willingness of nearby fraternities to furnish exciting social events, it would seem that practically the entire Agnes Scott campus abandoned their books for a week-end of merriment.

Doing things up in grand style were the Tech KA's and their dates at their big formal. Having a gay time at the Naval Officers Club for this occasion were Portia Strickland, Susanne Robinson, Kay White, Marion Barry, Margaret Candler, Peggy Edney, Ellen Mc- Farland, Susanne Meriwether, June Connally, Drew Blankner, Betty Cline, Susan Foxworth, Sue Lile, Nancy Niblack, and Jimsie Oeland.

Not to be outdone, the Tech Kappa Sigs had a fine time at the Dinkier Plaza at their big "conclave," as Sally Sanford, Bonnie Ger- shen, Martha Howard, Margaret McKelway, Janie Matthews, Rose- mary Roberts, Diane Snead, Catherine Collins, Barbara Brynes, Libby Hanson, Ces Rudisill, and Suzy Ware can tell you.

Emory had its share of formals, too. Pat Anderson, Anne Aker- man, Trudy Florrid, and Dot Ripley were some of the lucky girls attending the Sigma Pi banquet and formal at the Druid Hills Country Club. At the East Lake Country Club, Patsy Moss and Randy Norton danced, to sweet music at the Chi Phi Formal.

Numerous other, fraternities were hosts to Scotties this week-end. At the Tech ATO party were Jill DeBardeleben, Pat Gover, Cynthia Grant, Linda Jones, June Riddle, and Raines Wakefield, while Kay Armitage, Deene Spivey, and Mary Ruth Watson trotted over to the Beta House at Tech. Caroline Phelan, Frances Patterson, and Nellie Strickland had a really rustic time on the Tech Sigma Chi hayride. Also over Tech way, the Sigma Nus were hosts to Linda Dancy and Pat Lenhardt, while Boo Florence and Ruth Leroy partied at the Sigma Phi Epsilon House.

At Emory, Eleanor Hill, Laura Knake, Dot Martin, Carolyn Spann, Sarah Brown, and Frances Gwinn helped the SAE's have a big time; while the Delta Tau Delta's were hosts to Hollis Smith and Karen Beall.

Out-of-town events lured many girls away, however. Mid-winters at Davidson were especially attractive to Martha Davis, Rosalind Johnson, Jane Kramer, Jane King, Lillian Shannonhouse, Mary Jane Pickens, Phyllis Cox, Sally Meek, Emily Bivens, Kay Richards, Dee Harvley, and Blanche Helm. Traveling to the Citadel were Wendy Boatwright, Lillian Hart, Caroline Mikell, and Emily Parker; while Wardie Abernathy, Cat Hodgin, and Libby Hanna went up to the University of North Carolina. The University of Tennessee's Pi KA Formal lured Carlanna Lindamood, while Ann Norton and others went to Georgia.

An interest in ice-skating was shown in a new way this week-end

as Ann Parker, Sylvia Ray, Andy Lowry, Lulu McCaughan, and Ann

Scoggins enjoyed the Ice Follies.

Sadly enough, time does not allow mention of all the affairs of week-end before last. However, one must stop to envy Ruth Currie and Doreen Greenfield for their, trip to Dartmouth for the fabulous Winter Carnival.

Congratulations to Dee Harvley, new Beta sweetheart at Emory. Also to Maria Harris, who now wears a Phi Delt sword and shield from Emory and, to Laura Parker who displays a Tech Phi Sigma Kappa pin.

Sophomores Wreak Revenge; Juniors Tally One-sided Victory

By Helen Hendry and JoAnn Sawyer

A determined Sophomore team, seeking vengeance for a past defeat rolled to a decisive 30-18 victory over the Fresh- men last Friday. Backed by a tough guard system, manned by Maria Harris, Irene Shaw, and Martha Jane Mitchell, smooth-shooting Soph forward Ruth Currie racked up 19 points to spark the Sophs' win. Becky Evans scored 7 and Peace

Fewell, 6, for the losing side. A slow first quarter saw the

Erown took the first goal with a quick side shot. Fewell retaliated with a long overhead toss, and the scoring see-sawed to a 6-6 mid- quarter tie. A Freshman free throw and field goal connected seconds before the whistle to give a 9-6 lead to the Frosh in the first period.

The second quarter picked up as the Sophs challenged the slim Frosh lead. The Sophomore de- fense tightened, and the Frosh unable to break the strong zone system, shot from the outskirts with little success. Numerous fouls slowed the game, and gave the ad- vantage to the Sophomores. The end of the first half saw the score Jilted 15-9 in favor of the Sophs.

The Frosh threatened a come- back in the third period as Sylvia Saxon scored in the first seconds to close the gap. Bass and Currie brought the Sophs back into the game with field goals each, and the Sophomores set a pace that remained unchallenged. The third period ended with the Freshmen trailing 21-13.

In the fourth period the Frosh continued to be hampered by their tendency to shoot outside of the Soph defense zone rather than at- tempting to crash through to the goal. The calm Soph forwards shot with deadly accuracy to in- sure their lead, while the Frosh lagged further behind. Little ac- tion took place in the last minutes due to the usual fouling and stumbling. The Frosh could never come out of their relapse, and the Sophs marked up another win to- ward their claim to the champion- ship.

Hazel Ellis proved to be the star forward for the Juniors in their startling win of 50 to 10 over the Seniors Friday as she racked a total of 26 points.

Neither team played as well as they have in previous games. The first quarter score was 8 to 4, and

did not change for five minutes. Both team forwards had trouble finding the basket during this quarter, but luck was with the

Although the score does not re- veal it, the Senior guards played a good game. Sis Burns time and time again moved in to take the ball away from the Junior for- wards.

The Juniors and Freshmen are tied for first and the Sophomores are second. Next week's games could decide the winner of the tournament.

Blackfriars Choose 'The Chalk Garden'

HOASC Chapter Taps Junior Leader

In an impressive black-robed ceremony last night, the present chapter of Mortar Board tapped Mary Randolph Norton, junior, to head the 1957-58 chapter. Randy, an English major from Charlotte, North Carolina, was chosen on the basis of service, scholarship, and leadership to serve as next year's president.

Treasurer of Christian Associa- tion, Randy has served on the Association's cabinet and has been active in its work since her fresh- man year. She was president of her freshman class and a member of Folio, creative writing club. She has contributed to the "Auro- ra." A sports enthusiast, she has played on her class softball team.

Agnes Scott's chapter of Mortar Board was established on the campus in 1931. The successor of HOASC, local honorary, its pur- pose is "to promote college loy- alty, to advance the spirit of service and fellowship among uni- versity women, to maintain a high standard of scholarship, to recog- nize and encourage leadership, and to stimulate and develop a finer type of college woman."

Randy's selection as president of the 1957-58 chapter is announced on the eve of general campus elec- tions. She automatically becomes ineligible for other major campus positions in order that she may devote her energies to the prin- cipal office for which she has been selected.

Additional members of the 1957-58 chapter of Mortar Board will be revealed in April.

Digestion Waits on Appetite in $500,000 Dining Hall

By Catherine Girardeau

"Now Good Digestion Wait on Appetite and Health on Both." This motto over the interior archway of the Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall has become a familiar by-word to the Agnes Scott campus since the completion of the half- million dollar structure in 1950. The new building constituted improvement in the

a major school's eating facilities.

The old cafeteria was housed in the Reception room of Rebekah Scott Hall, and the kitchen was downstairs. Seated meals were served five nights a week with the students dressed as they do now for Sunday dinner. Usually the girls sat in the lounge in Rebekah and played bridge until time for the dining hall to open.

Students and faculty both ate in the same room. There was a hostess for each table of ten girls with the meals served family style. Housekeeping maids and janitors came over to wait on the tables. The TV room was also used as a dining room. The inconvenience of the kitchen's location made it dif- ficult to operate the cafeteria, especially in carting steam tables back and forth. Surplus food was stored in a white house located where Hopkins Hall is today.

According to Mrs. Ethel J. Hat- field, head dietician, "It would be hard to find a cafeteria the size of our present one which is as well-supplied." Mrs. Hatfield, who has been here since 1949, helped

with the plans for the new dining hall. Before coming to Agnes Scott, she was the therapeutic and teaching dietician at Vanderbilt University for seven years.

The kitchen has six large walk- in refrigerators in contrast to the two very small ones in the Rebe- kah kitchen. Here the ice is made, whereas in the old kitchen it had to be ground up from chunks. Another addition is a special ma- chine for washing glasses. There is a modern, three- compartment sink (Continued on Page 3)

Time is a fleeting affair. Here one moment, gone the next we sometimes spend more time wondering just where it has gone than we do in enjoying it while it is with us.

To a child, every twitter of a bird is a singular event, and when there are so many impressionable moments, a day must be longer to contain them. Youth is full, long and me- morable.

As youth grows to age, however, distinguishable events tend to blend into one another, and days become marked by fewer new experiences. Consequently, time appears to grow shorter, to pass more quickly, and to allow for less accomplish- ment. Aged seniors can testify to the rapid passage of four years of college life.

Winter quarter was aptly termed ?! 7,246,200,131,004,000 raindrops in a recent cartoon. Here is a case in point. The many new experiences and opportunities that presented them- selves during this period should have tended to lengthen the days and allow for more accomplishment. But what hap- pened?

Student reaction against a Founder's Day convocation in- stead of a holiday ran high. A change in examination schedule designed to include one more day of classes in an over-crowd- ed quarter gave rise to complaint. Faculty rejection of a stu- dent invitation to present "Shellbound" was announced as primarily due to an overcrowded calendar.

What has happened? Perhaps we have been, as Robert Frost would say, too eager for maturity. The twitter of birds is no longer a singular event. Time rushes on. D.R.

Scandrett Interprets Policy of Social Activity, Compares Standards To Well -Ordered Home

By Dean Carrie Scandrett

(Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of three feature articles sponsored by Student Government concerning basic policies of Agnes Scott.)

When a student asked me to write an article stating the position Agnes Scott takes regarding "chaperonage," I im- mediately began asking her questions. Her answers led me to believe that the statement should not be about chaperonage but about the principles underlying the social policies of the college. Social practices have

changed from year to year, but the principles underlying them have remained unchanged.

In so far as it is possible, our social procedures are those of a well-ordered home. They are de- signed with the welfare and the good times of all the students in mind. Agnes Scott students come from homes where love, care, in- terested concern, fine ideals and high standards of conduct are felt and taught. Your parents and guardians look to Agnes Scott to provide the same love, care, and interested concern in an atmo- sphere where each student can maintain these same high ideals and standards.

Because you are a group of ap- proximately 550, and you vary in age, in number of years away from home, and in social experience, there are times when personal

ily as well as to let Agnes Scott know her and to feel that she be- longs. For instance, freshmen are asked to double-date for a time with older students who have wil- lingly accepted the responsibility of helping them feel socially se- cure as they meet and make new friends, enjoy new social experi- ences, and become acquainted with Decatur and Atlanta and their so- cial and cultural activities. During this time they are also getting the feel of being a part of the Agnes Scott community and of represent- ing the college individually as well as in groups.

Each year social privileges are extended until seniors at Agnes Scott are free to use their judg- ment in areas of social life. Even they, though, continue to encoun- ter social pressures. And so the idea of the well-or-

and usuaUy enjoy visiting with them while they wait for you; and in that we ask for a chaperon to be at an organized social function a social custom which society still expects even in 1957.

Chaperon is a word which is sometimes irritating to young peo- ple. My conviction is that, regard- less of how much interest and care are shown through policies, the only effective chaperon is the one within each of you. It is that fine set of values which you, yourself, have acquired and that inner strength which prompts you to conduct yourself accordingly and makes of you a socially free and accepted person.

All that Agnes Scott can do is to provide for you the interested concern of a good home and to expect of you maturing judgment and social acumen.

pleasure and preferences have to dered home persists in that we ask give place to that which is for the students to let us know where they

Social privileges are graduated from year to year so that a stu- dent may have time and opportu- nity to know Agnes Scott and to feel a part of the Agnes Scott fam-

Three thousand years ago in Thebes a papyrus sign was hung up in the market place advertising for the return of runaway slaves. Romans wrote announcements of gladiatorial contests on the walls of their arenas. These were our earliest forms of advertising.

The invention of the printing press in 1450 was a tremen- dous spur to advertising. The first printed advertisement appeared in 1480 to announce the sale of a book. The first newspaper advertising in the American colonies appeared in the "Boston News Letter" in 1704.

Since this time, advertising has come a long way. Today it is one of the most powerful forces in American society be- cause of its tremendous influence on the way we live.

Advertising works on a reciprocal basis. An example of this can be seen through the newspaper medium. Both sides give and get. In the newspaper, the advertisers bring their wares before the public and thus increase their sales. In return, their business helps support the newspaper. Few of the news- papers and magazines we read could exist without advertising columns.

At this time, the Agnes Scott News wishes to express ap- preciation to its advertising patrons. G.A.R.

Kimmel Interviews Thespian, Discusses Drama Over Pizza

We made history in 1957 by hav- ing classes and convocation on Founder's Day!

By making history what did we do ? I would say that fewer people realized that it was Founder's Day this year than in past years.

When did the students have time to think about the meaning of the day? No one dared to let their minds wander during class per- iods. During convocation, some people admit that they sat up and thought just which paper, or which book would have been finished, if February 22 had been a holi- day.

Dining Hall Wins Merit Award For Superlative Achievements

(Continued from Page 1) for washing pots and pans, which contains a special steam sterilizer.

In the physical arrangement as well as in the increased kitchen equipment the cafeteria has made vast changes since 1949. The baker has a bake shop separate from the main kitchen, where rolls and most of the deserts are made. Employees have a well-lighted, well-ventilated dining room of their own; Rebekah furnished them with merely an old tin table.

The President's dining room and the Faculty dining room are also important additions; each seats fifty persons. The downstairs din- ing room is equipped for an over- flow crowd and for banquets. With the kitchen facilities all on the same floor, the dietician's office is arranged so that she can look out and see everything that is going on.

Many visitors come to examine the cafeteria's facilities and floor plan. In 1951 'Institutional Maga- zine" presented it a merit award "for highest standards of sanita- tion and for superlative achieve- ment in storing, handling, prepar- ing, and serving food." Mr. P. J. Rogers had entered it in the An- nual Food Service Contest con-

ducted nationally among mass feeding institutions.

Twenty-seven employees work full time in the cafeteria. Mrs. Anne S. Johnson is assistant die- tician and Mrs. Rubye N. Lanier is the dining hall hostess. At least two of the kitchen employees have been here since before 1949: Gro- Benjamin, head cook and J. C. Morgan, second cook. John Hill, who has been here off and on for several years, also worked in the Rebekah cafeteria.

Robinson Hollins, third cook, has been here since 1951, and Jesse Armistead is the pot washer a job which Mrs. Hatfield singles out as one of the most im- portant. Mary Jo Appling, who has been here since 1951, helps with salads in the kitchen. Henry Smith and A. Q. Garlington, who serve in the cafeteria line, and Robert Moore, janitor, have been here since 1953. Irene Heard, cof- fee server, is one of the more re- cent employees.

All of the employees are re- quired to attend classes for in- structions in food handling and sanitation. Officials from the De- Kalb County Health Department come every year for this purpose.

Billie's selections are arranged in three groups. The first group consists of the Largo, Allegro, Adagio, and Allegreto movements of Beethoven's Sonata, Opus 31, No. 1.

The second group is composed of "Intermezzo, Op. 18, No. 1, by Brahms; 'Romance" by Schu- mann, and Rachmaninoff's "Pre- lude in G Minor."

The third and final group will consist of Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody," Chopin's "Wialtz in A Flat Major," and the "Military Polonaise" by Chopin.

Gym, Drama Class To Give Exhibition

Gymnastics will mix with drama on Thursday, February 28, when sixteen members of the "Gymnas- tics and the Stage" class combine their talents in a public perform- ance to be given in the gymnasium at 4:00 o'clock. Under the direc- tion of Miss Judith B. Kase and Mrs. Adolf Lapp, the group will present works from both the Eliz- abethan and the modern eras.

This class, a new addition to the college curriculum during winter quarter, has grown through the cooperation of the departments of speech and physical education headed by Miss Roberta Winter and Miss Llewellyn Wilburn. Credit is given in physical educa- tion, while at the same time, in- valuable experience is gained in dramatics.

Thursday's program will include the Dumb Show from Hamlet, an enactment of the Twenty-third Psalm, and charades. Musical ac- companiments will be featured.

Fraternity Skits, Winter Balls Entice 'Agneses Off Campus

A steady stream of Scotties poured in and out of Main last weekend causing our beloved "Agnes Scott Hall" to rival Grand Central Station itself. Many of those in transit were laden down with their most bouffant finery, for a multitude of houseparties and formals were on the social calendar. And so they danced and danced and . . .

Seen journeying: to the Tech Kappa Sig- house for a weekend of fun were Libby Hanson, Barbara Byrnes, Jean Slade, Winky Stock- ton, Rene Shank, Corky Feagin, Cathryn Collins, Jane King, Carl- anna Lindamood, and Annette Whipple. Boo Florence, Mary Jane Pickens and Martha Bethea joined, the above group for the Kappa's Black and White formal at which Barabra Byrnes was announced the new sweetheart and the breakfast held at the Shrine Temple in Atlanta. The Delta Tau Delta's hosted Mary Clayton Bryan, Karen Beall, Edith Towers, Nancy Flagg, Leonice Davis, and Marian Barry at their Winter houseparty. The Belt's formal was held at the East Lake Country Club and Joanne Beaslcy, Carolyn Hazard, Patsy Moss, and Diane Parks took full advantage of the gaiety offered there.

Still at Tech . . . Nancy Awbrey, Hollis Smith, Becky Redick, Patti Forrest, Judy George, Cynthia Grant, Sara Margaret Heard, Jean Salter and Dee Harvley turned the SAE house into a girls' "dorm" for the weekend. Nearby Jane Kraemer, Becky Wilson, Martha Davis and Helen Scott Maddox evicted the Beta brothers for the weekend oc- casion. Nancy Alexander and Sandra Dickerson added their charming company for the Beta formal held at the Henry Grady Hotel, which we might add, was decorated by the brothers and their dates.

Don't go 'way, there are more BIG festivities to follow. At the Phi Gam dance held, at the Avondale American Legion Post, Lydia Dwen, Mary Hart Richardson, Grace Robertson, and Louise Mc- Caughan tripped the light fantastic as did Anne Selph with the Tech Theta Chfs at the Dinkier Plaza, and Marianna Sharp at the Pi KA dance. Seen breakfasting at Crossroads following the TKE dance were Jo Flowers, Fran Singleton, and Trudy Florrid. Nancy Frank- lin, Peggy Franklin, Peggy Edney, Jody Armbrecht, Irene Shaw, and Dana Hundley had a ball at the Biltmore with the Tech Phi Delts.

Believe it or not, other social functions were very much in evidence last weekend besides les grandes fetes. "Skits-O-Phrenia," always a big Emory event, attracted many Scotties for the annual fraternity competitions. Susan Shirley, Margaret Foskey, Mary Ann Donnell, Kay Fuller, Ann Louise Pyle, Susan Campbell, Suzanne Robinson, and Doreen Greenfield were among those who clapped for their favorites there. Drama Tech's production of "Oedipus Rex" found Phyllis Cox, Margaret McKelway, Nancy Kimmel, Margaret Goodrich, Ruth Leroy Carol Pike, and Nancy Trowell intent on enjoying this famous Greek tragedy.

Canterbury Club also hosted a houseparty last weekend although theirs required more "woodsy" attire than was found in the frat houses. However, Tweety Trammell, Barbara Alderson, Jo Hath- away, Pauline Winslow, Laura Parker, Ann Blackshear, Evelyn Scofield, and, Shelia MacConochie testified that "the country de- finitely hath its charms."

Skating, in two forms, also furnished an entertaining evening for several ASCers. Kendall Hood, Ann Tilly, June Connally and Margaret Fortney watched the "Holiday On Ice" spectacle, while the Roller- drome drew Jo Sawyer, Mary Dunn, Katie Jo Freeman and Jorie Mueller to a night of active participation "skimming" around the rink. Notes of singular importance . . . Looking especially happy be- cause of weekend visitors (masculine variety) are Betty Cline, Susan Foxworth, Helen Burkitt, Billie Rainey, Liz Ansley and Curly Jones . . . Ann Lane, Mary Rivers Payne and May Cliism are still raving about the Midwinter weekend at Sewanee . . . and Ann Mc- Whorter is proudly displaying a Zip pin. Millie Nesbit is beaming over her new diamond, and Gloria Calhoun returned from home wearing a jewel on her third finger left hand.

Juniors Defeat Freshman Team To Tie for First in Hoop Tourney

By Helen Hendry and Nancy Turner

Junior Hazel Ellis tallied 17 points to pace the Juniors to a 35-25 victory over the Frosh last Friday afternoon, while Freshman Peace Fewell also scored 17 for the losing side.

The smooth Junior forwards early displayed their prowess as Ellis tossed for a 6-point lead in the first minutes of the

game. Peace Fewell led the trail- ing Frosh in a short rally as she dodged through the junior de- fense for a spectacular crib shot. Two free throws and a long hoop shot by Sylvia Saxon tied the mid- quarter score at 6-6. At the end of the period, the Juniors had re- captured a slim lead, and the score stood 10-9. , Juniors Advance

The second quarter saw the Juniors advancing their lead, and the Junior forwards clicked like a machine as they dribbled and bounced through the Frosh defense line. Nancy Duvall led the Frosh guards in retrieving the ball, bringing it down to the Fresh- man forwards, who in the last 30 seconds of the half scored two goals to threaten the Junior, lead.

The third quarter began badly with both teams shooting wildly. The Frosh forwards tightened their zone, and the Juniors were forced to resort to long field shots. During the period, the Junior for- wards showed little of their form- er organization and depended on their strong defensive, sparked by Martha Meyer, to retain the top score. At the end of the quarter, the Juniors led by a slim two point margin.

The Juniors' fourth quarter comeback caught the Frosh un- awares. A steady offensive on- slaught collected 14 points for the Junior six, while the Frosh shoot- ers were 'held to six. The Junior victory dropped the Freshmen's standing to third place and clinch- ed for the winners a two-way tie with the Sophomores for the 1957 Basketball championship. This tie is to be played off this week. Senio rs Sophomores

Neither the sophomore nor the senior teams showed exceptional skill in the game on Friday at 4:00. There were careless passes, diesorganized guarding, and bad shots adding up to a big free-for- all.

In the first quarter, Martha Mc- Coy led the scoring for the sopho- mores with eight points, and Mar- gie DeFord and Carolyn Herman scored four points each for the seniors. This quarter was the best in the game, as the scoring was dominated by neither team, and there was some organization and skill in the playing. The score stood at a 10-8 advantage for the sophomores at the end of the quarter.

In the second quarter the seniors scored only three points as Curry, Conine, and Bass scored seven, four, and two points respectively for the sophomores to make the score 23-11 at the half. The third and fourth quarters were much the same story with the sopho- mores leading the scoring all the way.

DeFcrd scored the most points for the seniors, as her team kept trying to lessen the margin in the score. The end of the game brought a 36-22 victory for the sophomores. ,

We: We do not. We mean this, this, this. Not only is it absurd, it is ridiculous. What do you mean by that ?

HE: Oh, you are perfectly right to stick up for what you think. Anyone has the privilege to think what he thinks. I have the great- est respect for anyone who sticks up for what he thinks, even if it means he wants to go to church every Sunday. You don't think like that, though, do you?

Big Four meeting. During 1944 he traveled 25,000 miles inside Russia. He returned to America after the war to become [foreign news editor of the UP.

In 1949 he joined the staff of "The New York Times" and shortly thereafter became its Moscow correspondent. Despite restrictions by Soviet authorities, he has traveled more extensively in Rus- sia than any other correspondent.

Times' Moscow Correspondent Wil! Appear in Campus Lecture

Harrison Salisbury, Moscow correspondent for "The New York Times," will lecture at Agnes Scott, March 28, on "American Policy and the New Soviet Challenge." Not once, but twice, Mr. Salisbury has traveled in the forbidden terri- tory of Soviet Central Asia. He is the only American corre- spondent to have penetrated deep- ly twice in one decade into a legendary area, which even in the days of the Czars was sealed off from prying foreign eyes.

Mr. Salisbury's first visit took place during World War II when, as a correspondent for the United Press, he visited huge Russian steel, armaments and aircraft factories. During this 6000-mile journey through the Urals, Siberia and Central Asia, he entered such "forbidden" cities as Samarkand and Tashkent.

In 1953 he revisited these two cities as well as Karganada, head- quarters of thousands of Soviet slave-laborers, to become the first American journalist to view the development of the little-known modern cities created by masters of the Kremlin on the northern borders of Afghanistan and Iran.

Harrison Salisbury has been a newspaperman ever since his un- dergraduate days at the Univer- sity of Minnesota in his native Minnesota. In 1930 he went to work for the United Press, cover- ing the last of the Prohibition Era gang wars in Chicago.

Transferred to Washington, D.C., he worked there until World War, II when he was sent to London to head the UP bureau and direct its European coverage. Special as- signments took him to North Africa and Teheran to cover the

Museum To Show Spanish Paintings

Atlanta Art Association, in spon- sorship with the Syracuse Museum of Art, Syracuse, N. Y., will pre- sent from March 10 through 24 what is perhaps one of the most important and fabulous collections of paintings ever shown in Atlan- ta, as well as in the entire South- east.

This exhibition of Great Span- ish Paintings, assembled by Dr. Reginald Poland, director of mu- seums of the Atlanta Art Associa- tion, will hang in the Great Gal- lery of the Museum. Comprised of over 40 paintings, the exhibition will emphasize the individual works of Goya, Zurbaran and a: selected group of Spanish Primitives from the 15th and 16th centuries.

Antiquated Agnes Scott Catalogue Describes The Institute', With Setting of Health Resort

"The situation of Decatur sheltered from the cold winds of the more northerly section by the Blue Ridge range of mountains, and yet at an altitude far beyond the malarial lowlands of the South Atlantic and Gulf States, gives to the institute many of the pleasant and beneficial effects of a delightful health resort."

This institute, which was de- scribed as having the "effects of a delightful health resort," was Agnes Scott as depicted in the fourth annual school catalogue published for the year 1892-93. Since that time, Agnes Scott, as well as the Agnes Scott catalogue, has undergone numerous changes and revisions. In fact, the well rounded, versatile Agnes Scott College of today would hardly be recognizable from the stern, con- servative picture of "The Insti- tute" found in that fourth cata- logue.

It is interesting and humorous to note some of the items appear- ing in that publication and others of later years, and to contrast them to the more liberal and "mod- ern" ways found exhibited on the campus and printed in the cata- logue of Agnes Scott today.

Following the glowing account of the healthful location of Agnes Scott, a notice read that "the Georgia Railroad has on sale com- mutation school tickets to Decatur at greatly reduced rates from all stations between Covington and Atlanta." But if a young lady pre-

ferred to board at the school, she could reside in the single school building which was carpeted throughout, paying $110.00 for board and tuition per year, $7.50 for laundry, and $5.00 for medical (Continued on page 3)

After several months of investiga- tion of Agnes Scott's system, in comparison to systems used by other colleges, the committee has proposed the adoption of a "weight- ed" preferential system.

Such a system would require no radical change in method of vot- ing, and would allow for equal consideration of second and third place votes for every candidate. In the past, only the second or third choices listed on ballots support- ing a minority candidate have been considered.

A further suggestion offered by the committee is that both -popu- lar and committee nominations appear in an alphabetized list on the ballot sheets at election time. Previously only the committee nominations have been alphabet- ized; popular nominations have appeared in order of number of nominating ballots.

If the proposed change in vot- ing meets with student approval, it will go into effect during spring quarter campus elections.

May Day Committee Announces Tryouts

As winter quarter draws to a close, plans are already in pro- gress for the traditional spring quarter May Day. Scheduled for the afternoon of May 11 in the May Day Dell, this year's produc- tion, "The Marriage of A Mouse," is based on a Japanese fairy tale.

Five leading roles have already been cast. Chosen to dance these parts are: Frances Patterson, Louise Rigdon, Anne Eyler, Car- lanna Lindamood, and Nancy Trowell.

Student tryouts for May Day cast are set for March 21 between the hours of 4-6 and 7-8 p.m. in the gymnasium. According to Jene Sharp, May Day chairman, a large cast will be needed for the pres- entation. Students are urged to compete for the numerous parts available.

Those students interested in working with costumes, properties, and music may contact the fol- lowing people: Leoniece Davis, properties; Frances Sattes and Emily Middleton, costumes; and Sylvia Ray, music.

Queen of the May this year will be Cemele Miller. Members of her court will include: seniors, Nancy Brock, Sis Burns, Jackie Murray, and Fraser Steele Waters; juniors, Emasue Alford, Nancy Franklin, June Fulmer, and Harriet Tal- madge; sophomores, Nancy Bow- ers, Margie Erickson, and Runita McCurdy; and freshmen, Mary- Jane Pickens and Judy Sawyer.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, March 6. 1957

Interest in the fate of "Shellbound," faculty skit production extraordinaire, has been widespread this quarter.

A brief view of the situation recalls the presentation in faculty meeting, October 19, of a letter authorized by Student Government asking for faculty consideration of the produc- tion "Shellbound III" this year. A faculty committee, headed by Miss Roberta Winter, was appointed to investigate the possibility of staging such a production. This group came forth with a list of "pros and cons" which was read in faculty meeting November 9. No specific recommendation for or against the production was made. Following faculty discus- sion, a secret ballot was taken, in which the decision was de- finite. "Shellbound III" was not to become a reality this year.

In the interest of presenting to the student body definite faculty opinions concerning "Shellbound" and its rejection, a committee of two from the "News" and "Silhouette" staffs has engaged in informal interviews with a number of faculty and administration members. A compilation of views most widely expressed is found below:

1. "Shellbound" has never been, and was never meant to be a tradition at Agnes Scott College. The first production was staged in 1947 and was inspired by the war effort. Con- trary to popular belief, no mention was made at this time of the production's becoming a quadrennial tradition.

2. Winter quarter schedule, 1957, proved to be much too crowded already to include another production. In all of col- lege history, there has perhaps not been another quarter which spotlighted quite so many extracurricular events. The two weeks during which visiting lecturers Frost, Tillich, Baldwin and Baker appeared is a case in point.

3. "Shellbound" requires an incentive in order to become a reality. After its second showing in 1953, a faculty committee debated several months over the question of how best to use the money from ticket receipts. Finally a decision was reach- ed to buy the hi-fi equipment now located on the fourth floor of Campbell Hall.

4. The script used in the two previous productions of "Shell- bound" is decidedly out of date. Changes in faculty personnel, as well as the fact that allusions to World War II are outdated, would appear to require a complete revision of this script.

5. Change in faculty personnel would be responsible for shifting of responsibilities in the staging of the production. Two specific instances are the inability of the former stage

Preferential Progress

In chapel last Thursday, the special committee appointed by Mortar Board to study our voting system presented its recommendations to the student body. This committee pro- posed to made a decisive change in our voting system. Now it is up to the student body to decide whether it is time for this change to be made.

The present voting system has been inadequate for a long time. When counting ballots by the redistributation method after an election, it is often very difficult to determine the winner. Under the new system the winner would be deter- mined as that person receiving the greatest number of points. The voting would still be on a preferential basis, but a first place vote would count three points, while a second place vote, two, and a third place, one. The proposed new system appears much fairer to all candidates.

When the student body votes on this proposal, won't you give it your support? Vote for a change that means progress. J. F.

6. Times have changed since ''Shellbound" was orginially instigated on the Agnes Scott campus. Students are now in- volved in more off-campus weekend activities than formerly. Enthusiastic attendance of students at such a faculty event as "Shellbound" is debatable.

7. Regarding the possible threat to intimate student-faculty relationships by the omission this year of "Shellbound" from the winter quarter schedule, the faculty feels that such rela- tionships may be expressed equally well through other media.

8. Faculty skits included in the fall Black Cat production should be sufficient proof of faculty interest in such af- fairs. There is no need to duplicate such endeavors in an exclusive faculty production.

9. Preparation for such a major production requires many hours of rehearsal, painting of backdrops, making of costumes and arranging of props. It is felt that these hours, except in the case of a very worthwhile and special project, could be more profitably devoted to other activities.

What is the answer? Are the faculty and student viewpoints concerning "Shellbound" not reconcilable?

We firmly believe that "Shellbound" is a good thing for the Agnes Scott campus. Clamor of students for making such a production a reality would indicate that the performance would be well-attended. Certainly, financial incentive could be furnished by the expansion program being undertaken by the college. As for costumes and backdrops, student help might be readily available if solicited.

Reduction of time required for staging and rehearsal might be effected by a change in plan of presentation. Two specific suggestions are that "Shellbound" might conceivably by pre- sented during the chapel hour, or that it could be staged in the gymnasium some evening following a campus community picnic supper. Limiting costumes, props, and backdrops to the bare essentials might also prove to be an acceptable compro- mise. ^

President Appraises Non - Drinking Standard, Clarifies College Position of Total Abstinence

(Editor's Note: This is the last of three feature articles sponsored by Student Government concerning basic policies of Agnes Scott College.)

By President Wallace M. Alston

I have been requested to explain Agnes Scott's position in the matter of the drinking of alcoholic beverages. It is un- derstandable that students should ask for an interpretation of our position of vigorous opposition to drinking while a stu- dent is under the jurisdiction of the College. The Administration of Agnes

Scott realizes that social drinking is widely accepted and indulged in even by some of the families from which our girls come. We are also aware of the difficulties involved in a no-drinking standard in a community such as ours in Greater Atlanta where so many educational institutions are locat- ed and where an active social life is to be found.

The "non-drinking code" upon which we proceed at Agnes Scott is stated clearly on page 35 of the Student Handbook for 1956- 1957. It explicitly sets forth the fact that the College expects ab- stinence on the part of all board- ing students while they are under the jurisdiction of Agnes Scott. It is to be noted that this jurisdiction includes traveling to and from the

It is further expected that day students will uphold the Agnes Scott policy regarding drinking, even though it is recognized that their social conduct is not directly under the supervision of the Col- lege. Enforcement, however, in the case of day students, follows when

they attend school-sponsored or fraternity functions of other edu- cational institutions during the school year, as well as in situa- tions where they represent Agnes Scott in debates, conferences, and other intercollegiate meetings.

Why does Agnes Scott insist upon such a rigid stand? Are we refusing to recognize the realities of contemporary social life? Are we concerning ourselves unduly about a trifle of behavior when we insist that our students shall let intoxicants alone so long as they are engaged in the work of the College?

I do not. hesitate to say that I have a strong conviction that the time-honored position of Agnes Scott on the subject of drinking is right. It is true that the drink habit is now widespread and that many highly respectable families permit young people to drink. We realize that we cannot alter this situation appreciably by our in- sistence upon a no-drinking stan- dard on this campus.

It is conceivable that young peo- ple who live under our regimen

here will drink when they are back home or when they establish homes of their own. I confess that I deplore this whenever it hap- pens. Nonetheless, we at Agnes Scott have a responsibility to ad- here to what we believe to be right while students are under our care.

It is our intention to make this life together on the campus as en- riching and as fine as it is possible to do, eliminating, wherever we can, practices that are detrimen- tal to the physical, intellectual, moral, social, and spiritual life of the young people committed to us. Furthermore, we devoutly hope that the standards that are upheld at Agnes Scott will seem so rea- sonable and so desirable that they will become a part of each stu- dent's own ideals and code of liv- ing.

Let me state even more pointed- ly 'the College's attitude toward drinking. We are convinced that intoxicants have nothing good to offer to young people. We hold that, in spite of all the clever ar- guments to the contrary, alcohol is a narcotic and is habit-forming. We recognize that, however we may rationalize or resent them, scientific laboratory findings have established the fact that alcohol, taken habitually, seriously affects one's personality, confuses the in- telligence, impairs skill, deadens initiative, tends to weaken self- (Continued on page 3)

The courses of study offered in the year 1892-93 consisted of three levels primary, preparatory, and collegiate each lasting for four years. In the collegiate depart- ment, a School of Moral Sciences included studies in psychology and philosophy. Physical Culture was the name given 'to the department of physical education and the ref- erence to it found in the catalogue is especially interesting. It reads:

"In these days, when public thought is so constantly directed to physical training, it seems scarcely necessary to mention the importance of the subject. But the stooped shoulders, weak backs, poor lungs, and shattered nerves of many of our girls shows that the subject has not yet received the attention it deserves. The In- stitute Gymnasium contains the best apparatus, including Horizon- tal and Vaulting Bars, Horses, Flying-rings, Chest-weights, Clubs, Wands, Dumb-bells, Rings, Hoops, etc."

The general rules and regula- tions set up for the school year 1892-93 are particularly humorous to the "modern" reader. The fol- lowing are a few:

"No pupil is allowed to appear in a wrapper out of her chamber.

"Pupils will not be allowed to go to Atlanta oftener than once a quarter for shopping purposes, and then only when accompanied by a teacher.

"Unless specially excused, pupils must repair to the Study Hall at 7:00 p.m.; at 9:30 they must pre- pare for retiring and at 10:00 the house must be quiet.

"Pupils are permitted to corre- spond only with such gentlemen as are specially named in writing by parents.

"Visitors will not be received during school or study hours; nor the visits of young men at any time."

Gradually the visitor regulation broadened and a rule appearing in

a catalogue -a little later stated that visitors could be received dur- ing recreation time and on Tues- day and Wednesday evenings. Calls could not be made or received on the Sabbath, however, and this rule was in effect for a long while after the founding of the school.

In -a small pamphlet stating the rules and regulations in 1908, other interesting items were found. Guests were more welcome, but had to leave in the evening "be- fore 9:45 or the hour fixed for the closing of the house." Gentlemen callers were required to present letters of introduction from par- ents or guardians. No student was allowed to use the telephone. Stu- dents were not allowed to leave the grounds without permission, unless accompanied by a chaperon.

From the 1897-98 Agnes Scott Catalogue comes this interesting item:

"Each outfit (wardrobe) should contain, besides school dresses, one street suit and wraps of light and heavy weight. A simple eve- ning dress, high-necked and long- sleeved, will be found convenient but not necessary. Pupils will not be permitted to wear low-necked dresses." Contrast this to the pres- ent Campus Dress Guide!

A student's relation with gen- tlemen was very strictly supervis- ed from the earliest days of the Institute. In the 1912-13 Rules and Regulations booklet, it was stated that "students meeting gentleman friends in Decatur or Atlanta, shall not go -to the soda fountain or moving picture with them, and shall not stand on the street talk- ing for any length of time."

In the 1914 issue of Students' Handbook, ithere is a rule which reads :

"Freshmen, Sophomores, Ju- niors, and Irregulars are not al- lowed to use artificial light be- tween the hours of 10 p.m. and 6:20 a.m. Flashlights excepted."

'News Makes Weekly Appearance With Assistance of New Era Printers

Since the invention of movable type by Johann Gutenberg in the fifteenth century, the printed word has exerted a powerful influence in world history. In the days of the Ameri- can Revolution, Benjamin Franklin's presses busily turned out the paper money necessary to keep the ragged forces supplied with essentials. Even to- day, in Communist - dominated countries, freedom-loving patriots haunt dark basements where a long printing press issues words of hope to oppressed peoples.

Although used neither as money nor as a propaganda sheet, "The Agnes Scott News" is proud to share in the traditions and respon- sibilities of the world of printing. The tabloid-size sheet which ap- pears in students' mailboxes each Wednesday afternoon represents the efforts of a veritable conglo- meration of students and printers who struggle with facts, deadlines and machines to produce each edition.

The "News" feels itself unusual- ly fortunate in having as its printer the DeKalb New Era Printing Company. Although the

crude press of Gutenberg has been streamlined and improved in these days of modern technology, the New Era printers take personal interest in their publications. In addition to the "News," the New Era company also publishes the

"Aurora" and Campus Directory for Agnes Scott as well as news- papers for Georgia State College and Oglethorpe University. Its main publication, however, is the "DeKalb New Era," a weekly newspaper of the happenings in DeKalb county.

Agnes Scott's relations with the printer begin each week on Mon- day morning when stories for the Wednesday issue are sent over to be set up. The "galley," proofs of each story that has been written, are returned on Monday afternoon to be corrected. Layout of the pages is made by the editorial staff on Monday night.

control, lessens endurance be it in driving an automobile, shooting at a target, engaging in classroom activity, dating, handling a ma- chine, or playing games that re- quire skill and accuracy.

We are persuaded that the re- sults of drinking, even moderate social drinking, are indisputably detrimental to the drinker. Agnes Scott does not believe that the finest type of intellectual, moral, and spiritual womanhood can be cultivated if we temporize with the drink habit. We cannot believe that the purposes and ideals of the College are compatible with the deliberate indulgence in what is so often degrading to body, mind, and spirit.

From the point of view of those who are charged with responsibili- ty for the welfare of young people on a campus like this, let me say a further word. Life in this great community is complicated in many ways. We live at close quarters in a metropolitan area and in a uni- versity center with thousands of other college young people.

I, for one, would not assume the risks of trying to guide a college like Agnes Scott if our students were permitted to drink. I believe our problems of social relationship would increase a hundred-fold if we could not count on the sobri- ety, good judgment, and the dig- nity and self-respect that our present policy with all the diffi- culties inherent in it confers.

The influence of the educated American woman is one of the strongest forces for good in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa- tion, not narrow specialized training, that has developed her abilities and insights. As homemaker-citizen and as ca- reerist-citizen, she justifies magnificently the faith of those who a century ago were fight- ing for her right to learn what she wished to learn.

Ninth Graders Delight Teacher Despite Spit-balls, Hiccup Siege

It finally arrives your first day of actual teaching. After a week of learning names, your big moment comes. Your debut, a well organized, clear presentation of compound sen- tences.

You've never been so terrified. Thirty-six ninth graders are pretty frightening, and then there's the teacher, too. She's just pretending to check the attend- ance register. She's actually tuned in to everything you're saying.

After what seems hours of ex- tolling the beauty, poetry, and continuity of compound sentences and coordinate conjunctions you feel that they are now ready to practice working with these gram- matical gifts. You pause with the sudden realization that you don't know what to call these chunks of humanity, ranged before you in wiggling rows.

They notice the silence, and for once give you their complete and undivided attention. Shall you say "Students"? Certainly not the in- fantile "boys and girls." The most appropriate appellation would be adolescents, but that always sug- gests delinquents.

The situation begins to get out of hand (namely yours). This was never discussed in education class. The class, thinking they've over- come an ally of their great Ad- versary, the principal, fairly glow with delight.

However, all is not lost, for you hear yourself saying "People, open your book to page ninety-one, prac- tice four." "People" an all en- compassing word. Certainly there could be no ill will aroused by that nominative of address. Thus you win the first round, and thereby enter the exciting business of stu- dent teaching.

After the initial shock of your first class, you soon begin to ex- perience more fully what it means to be a teacher. You realize your position and are alert to the fact that in students' eyes you are fair game. Very quickly you pick up a few tricks of the trade. With the law of averages being as it is, you are positive that five boys just can't all have hiccups during one period Your eyesight definite- ly improves; you can now spot a potential spitball even in its un- developed stage. After school (dur- ing your "free" time) you spend hours grading papers which, when returned, receive only a fleeting glance before becoming ammuni- tion for the waste basket.

As time rolls on, you become better acquainted with your stu-

dents and colleagues. In the fac- ulty lounge, away from all stu- dents' watchful gaze, you learn that teachers are the most indivi- dual and fascinating group imagin- able. You feel a little tug at your heart when a student, though struggling manfully consistently fails.

At the end of your teaching, you regretfully leave your school. It hasn't been easy; it's much less tiring to go to class, but you wouldn't have missed the experi- ence of teaching for a million afternoon naps. The memories you've stored, the fun you've had, the problems, major and minor, you've confronted, each of the "people" you've taught, all these and a multitude more compose the definition of the one word, teach- ing.

Gilbreath Will Play In Faculty Recital

On Sunday, March 24, Mrs. Lil- lian Rogers Gilbreath will present her faculty recital in Gaines Chapel at 3:30 p.m. Mrs. Gilbreath's pro- gram will consist of Divaldi Bach's "Organ Concerto in D Minor," Beethoven's "Sonata, Opus 81a," also given the French title of "Les Adieux," Cesar Franck's "Prelude, Fugue, and Variations," and three preludes by Rachmaninoff, in A minor, G major, and B-flat major.

The managing editor arrives at the print shop about 10:45 a.m. to find the foreman, and head print- er, Fred Hill, placing the last min- ute corrections in the form. At the linotype machine, which resembles an oversized typewriter and on which the stories are molded into lead type, the head linotype opera- tor, Chuck Wheeler, declares that the headline writers must be in love because the headlines won't fit right.

While Fred inks the layout for another proof, another linotypist, Jim Nash, complains good natur- edly about last minute changes in the society column, adding names of those recently acquiring rings and pins, and suggests that per- haps the world might not come to an end if these names were omit- ted until next week. Each change or correction requires the resetting of a whole line or paragraph.

Tuesday afternoon, the manag- ing editor returns with the cor- rected layout proof. Fred obliging- ly shifts two stories which would "look better the other way" and en- gages in a friendly debate over such subjects as how many "S's" go where in the word "discusses." After two more proofs are cor- rected, the form is finally ready to go on the press. With the help of Tom Pendergrass, whose spec- ialty is church bulletins, Fred ad- justs the press ready to roll.

At this point, the publication of the paper passes from human to mechanical hands as over 800 copies of the paper are turned out in a matter of minutes. The print- er delivers the paper on Wednes- day morning ready for the cir- culation staff to go to work.

The "News" staff is finished for another week. But there will al- ways be another week. And yet, no matter how routine the work, there is always the exhilarating thrill of producing the printed word.

Balls Climax Weekend Whirl As Scoff ies Dodge Study Blues

The winter social whirl, which had gathered such momentum by weekend before last, slowed down to a dignified walk last weekend as the threat of exams loomed near. A last minute fling was evident in some quarters, however, as term-paper-laden Scotties resolved to "eat, 'not think,' and be merrie" for tomorrow we will surely cram. Perhaps the biggest and most colorful event taking place was the Tech Navy Ball held at the Naval Officers Club at Chamblee. Joanne Beaton, Julia McNairy, Emily Bivens, Leonice Davis, Becky Redick, Janice Bowman, Lou Healey, Mary Grace Palraour, Nancy Trowell, Helen Burkitt, Willa Dendy, Anne Dodd, Helen Scott Maddox, Pat Gover, Linda Jones, and Betty Gzechowicz donned their most fetch- ing attire to complement the navy and gold uniforms of their escorts. The Sigma Phi Epsilons, Tech variety, also went formal with a dance at the Georgian Terrace Hotel where Celia Crook, Boo Florence, and Patsy Rhoden enjoyed the gaiety offered there. At the Standard Town and Country Club Ellen McFarland and Andy Lowry danced with the Tech Lambda Chis holding their winter ball ... or should we call it pre-spring?

Parties here and there . . . The Tech ATO's went festive at Fritz Orr's and Gretchen Eliot, Carolyn Hazard, Eleanor Lee and Jill DeBardeleban joined in the merriment ... A "country hick" party plus combo was in order at the KA house at Tech. Val Edwards, Helen Culpepper, Lillian Hart, Diane Parks, Judy Webb, Suzanne Meriwether, and Drew Blankner scurried into their tackiest togs to "make hay while the moon shone". Over Emory way the Betas, Sigma Chis, and Phi Delts joined forces to sponsor the annual Miami Triad held this year at Robinson's Trop- ical Gardens. Corky Feagin, Kay Fuller, Betty Cobb, Susan Hogg, Kay Richards, Fran Singleton, Margaret Minter, Jody Armbrecht, Maria Harris, "Tweedie" Trammel, and Dee Harvley attended this gala triple treat. Out at Snapfingers the Emory KA's entertained Doreen Greenfield, Carol Rogers, Jean Salter, Mary Ann Henderson, Audrey Johnson, and Nora Ann Simpson. On campus, Susie Ware, Marianne "Gillis," and Caro Spann enjoyed the SAE house dance while Anne Akerman and Lulu McCaughan partook of the Sigma Phi's hospitality.

Returning to the engineers, we find Sally Fuller, Mary Jane Pfaff, Jane Law, Jorie Mueller, Dot Martin, Mary Dunn, Kay Weber, Jane Kraemer, and Sandra Dickerson abolishing pre-exam blues with the Sigma Chis and Libby Hanson and Janie Matthews doing likewise via the Kappa Sigs. A quick shift to the athletic scene saw Lynn Frederick, Raines Wakeford, Laura Dryden, Martha Holmes, Nellie and Camille Strickland and Marian Walton in the bleachers at the Tech basketball game.

Wardie Abernathy* spent a weekend away from it all at the University of North Carolina while Sallie Meek and Ann Rivers Payne agreed that there's no place like "home," especially when male visitors are on hand . . . Congrats to Nancy Snipes, Judy George, and Caroline Pruitt, our newest engaged gals and to Babe McFadden, who is wearing a White Cross from a Tech Sigma Chi. Bye now, and have a happy holiday.

Sophs Capture Championship; Varsity Defeats Brenau, 38-26

By Nancy Turner and Helen Hendry

Wednesday, February 26, the same two teams that met for the hockey championship battled in the gym for the basket- ball championship. Lady Luck sided with the sophomores this time to give them a 36-25 victory, thus winning their first team sports championship in their history at Agnes Scott.

The story of the game is one of good play on both sides. In the first quarter, the sophomores came in with determination to break their old record of losing to the upperclassmen and establish- ed a 10-0 lead within the first few minutes of the game. Charlene Bass was connecting with nearly every shot and scored five points for the sophomores in that quarter. High Scorers

Isabella Strait and Ruth Currie scored four and two points re- spectively, as guards Maria Har- ris, Martha Jane Mitchell, and Suzanne McMillan snatched the ball from their opponents every time it came

The second quarter gave the juniors a better score as they got five points and the sophomores were held to seven points. Carolyn Tinkler, Martha Meyer, and Pinky McCall set up a guard defense that was harder for the sophomores to break through, and Hazel Ellis did her usual job of good floor play and shooting to add to their of- fense.

The second half showed the ju- niors and the sophomores making equal scores in both quarters. To score was a fight for each team, as the juniors were charging to catch up, and the sophomores were trying to keep up with their op- ponents as well as to stop them from further scoring. Martha Mey- er was the star of that half as she, usually a guard, scored six points for the juniors.

At the close of the game, every- one felt that both teams had ex- hibited excellent skill and good sportsmanship. Congratulatdonls, sophs !

score of 38-26. Ruth Currie racked up 11 points for the home team, while Brenau's Nancy Trainer claimed 12.

Agnes Scott took an easy 17-7 lead in the first period and had little trouble maintaining a 10 point advantage throughout the game. Hampered by a slow start, Brenau's forwards failed to threaten to close the gap, but the rather inconsistent Brenau defense successfully halted the purple and white team's scoring streak in the second and fourth quarters.

For the past few years, Agnes Scott has toyed with the idea of inter-collegiate basket ball games. Last season, players travel- ed to Brenau for one game, and the preceding year Agnes Scott played hostess to Georgia. Inter-Collegiate Contests

In discussing the past and fu- ture of these games, basketball manager Ruth Currie stated, "The major problem with our partici- pating in inter-collegiate games is the time factor. Since Friday is reserved for our own class tour- naments, it is difficult to find time to hold these extra games. How- ever, I believe that games with other schools are worthwhile pri- marily because they unite players of different classes. We tend to emphasize class competition in our matches, and inter - collegiate games would give us a chance to establish more school spirit. Also, players of both teams always seem to enjoy playing against one another."

For the past few years, the tendency has been to increase the number of inter-collegiate games in both basketball and hockey. There has also been an increased amount of interest on the part of other schools to have these meets. It will be interesting to note the outcome of the present rather in- definite trend.

(Continued from Page 3) of 1917. No person could stay in the pool for longer than one-half hour; no person could use the pool more than once during the day; and there was a limit of four per- sons in the pool at one time.

The handbook of 1922-23 had several humorous articles. It stat- ed that it was necessary to have a faculty chaperon for automobil- ing with men.

"Those students whose parents do not approve of dancing are put on their honor not to dance. Men are not permitted to be present at dancing.

"Restriction is the penalty for speaking to men in public places for over three minutes by Sopho- mores, Freshmen, and first and second year Irregulars."

One of the most lasting regula- tions placed on the girls who came to Agnes Scott was compulsory attendance at Sunday school and church. This request was in effect until quite recently.

In a report on the progress of the social activities and privileges of the Agnes Scott girls made by Miss Scandrett in the 1946-48 Alumnae Quarterly, this statement was made in explaining the in- crease of freedom the student body has known since the early days:

"The use the students have made of their freedom has justified its existence. They appreciate and cherish the confidence placed in them and they are fully aware of the fact that the abuse of any privilege will reflect adversely on Agnes Scott students and will rightfully result in its termina- tion.'

Redhead To Present Recital in Maclean

Kimmel Says Fond Farewell; Awards Outstanding Subjects

The purpose of this article is to bid goodbye, goodbye, good- bye. There may be time and opportunity for us to get in a few more next quarter before new appointments and elec- tions are made, but this is the official time because we are fully expecting to be done away with completely during the ffin&I week of this quarter.

If we should happen to survive, well and good, but we seriously doubt it. Therefore, we would like to take this time and space to say thank you, not only for your com- ments, but -also for your willing- ness to be commented on. That is the educational spirit.

But now, the awards, given to those outstanding persons who, during the past three quarters, have been featured in one way or another within this column.

Most Popular Subject: Ish, that loyal and well-known dog who be- came so famous he was forced into retirement from the campus scene. He, like Greta Garbo, must want to be alone, or could it be he developed T.B. from living in the Hub? We are gratefully indebted to him for the Thanksgiving ar- ticle which he supervised, wrote, and hung on the fire hydrant.

The Disappointed Reader: Miss Nancy Burkitt, who read this col- umn each week, awaiting the ar- ticle we promised to write about her. Scri-ry, it was censored.

Most Popular Newcomer: Mrs. Pepperdene. During two short quarters she founded a new socie- ty, was eleoted president by ac- clamation, and rose to greater heights in the eyes of freshmen, etc., than has ever been reached before in such a short period of time. Long may she reign!!!!

Most Popular Censor: The edi-

tor who let us say anything we wanted to say about anything ex- cept the opium den on the hockey field. This was a wise decision because she knew it wouldn't last long and would have been of little interest to our readers. Hers is wisdom, not prudence.

The Poorest Wretch: Roberta Winter long suffering, unobtru- sive, omnipotent, enlightened, but unsympathetic.

Favorite overheard conversa- tion:

Dr. Alston (in passing): "Are you going to the tumbling exhibi- tion, Dr. Snakes?"

Dr. Stukes (eagerly, wdth pained expression and empathy): "What? When? Who tumbled? Was she hurt?"

Our Ideal: Miss Penny Smith, whose name has become the sym- bol of everything worthwhile at Agnes Scott during the past three quarters. No one has given so much.

Staunchest Supporters: Mi Hi cent McSalamander and Dean Guerry S. Stukes, who have been in the background of every article that has appeared under the above by- line, who have smiled, and cough- ed, and giggled, and spluttered, and in the end, patted our shoulder and whispered: "Peace be with you, my child."

And now, farewell. The same to all of you.

Blackfriars Club To Present 'Chalk Garden/ Broadway Hit

"The Chalk Garden" by Enid Bagnold has been proclaimed by New York critics as "delightful and shatteringly funny." This play, having been on Broadway only a year ago, was recognized in "The New Yorker" as being "real wit turned up for the first time this season . . . inhibited by some of the most spectacular eccentrics you

Now the Agnes Scott campus will have the opportunity to enjoy Broadway entertainment as the Blackfriars present this high com- edy in Presser Hall on Friday night, April 5. "The Chalk Gar- den," along with "My Fair Lady" and "No Time for Sergeants," has been listed as one of the ten best plays of 1955-1956. Opening at the Ethel Barrymore Theater in New York on October 26, 1955, "The Chalk Garden" ran for al- most six months and was equally well received in England a few months later.

The play, which tells of a world- ly woman who has turned her im- aginative granddaughter into an impish, spoiled extrovert, is a mixture of both the comic and the profound. Its literate comedy is interlaced with truth, wonder- ment, and mystery, all tied togeth- er with a neat twist in its tantal- izing plot.

The action takes place in a charming English manor house which is dominated by Mrs. St. Maughem, its unorthodox mis- tress, who stomps around in her gardening clothes, filling the r oom with flowers and her own particu- lar philosophy of life. Her sixteen- year-old granddaughter is a mix- ture of precocious oddities; she is partial to pyromania, uninhibted mischief and sweeping dramatics.

Crigler Will Name '57 Students Elected To Phi Beta Kappa

Elections to Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholastic society, from Agnes Scott's Class of 1957 will be announced during Convocation

on Wednesday, April 3, by Miss Elizabeth Crigler, secretary of the Beta Chapter. "Emancipation by Education" is the topic of the ad- dress to be given by Dr. Paul L. Garber of the Bible department, who is the present president of the chapter.

She delights in telling, everyone about the time she was present, at the age of four, when her fath- er shot himself, or the time she was violated in Hyde Park at the age of twelve.

Miss Madrigal, her governess, is something of a mystery, avoiding all references to her past. She is enchanted with the St. Maughem household until the sudden ap- pearance of a judge out of her beclouded memory threatens her new-found happiness. It is here that the play reaches a gripping climax, a startling contrast to its delirious lunacy.

Americans know Enid Bagnold best through three books: "Serena Blandish," a best seller which was adapted into a smash hit play; "National Velvet/' which follow- ed its literary popularity by be- coming a successful movie; and her recent best seller, "The Loved (Continued on Page 3)

Alumnae Establish Award in Debating

Accomplishment in the art of debating is at last to be recognized on the Agnes Scott campus. An award to each year's outstanding debater, known as "The George P. Hayes Debating Trophy," has been established by two alumnae of the college: Mrs. Preston Mc- intosh (Louisa Aichel, '47) and Mrs. Larry E. Pedrick (Dale Ben- nett).

The award is to be in the form of an engraved silver tray and will be awarded at a Convocation in late May of each year. The de- cision of the recipient of this award is to be made by a faculty committee. It is the hope of the donors that the award will be capitalized some time in the fu- j ture.

This offer to establish a debat- award was presented by letter

! and unanimously accepted at the j faculty meeting held Friday,

Ferdinand Warren's painting; entitled "Rabun Gap" may new be seen hanging in the Frances Winship Walters Infirmary. A gift of Miss Mary Virginia Allen, Assistant Professor of French, the paint- ing is hung In memory of Mi>s Louise Halo, Professor of French at Agnes Scott from 1921' to 1951.

Soprano Will Sing In Four Languages

The Music Department will present Marty Slife, mezzo-sopra- no, in her senior recital at 8:00 p.m. on April 2 in Maclean Audi- torium. Sylvia Ray will accompany her on the piano.

Marty's first group of songs will be the Italian numbers, "Voi che credete" by Hasse, "Lungi da te" by Bononcini, '*Hai core, o cru- dele" by Manzi, and "Va per lo mare" by Scarlatti. Her second group will consist of four French songs, "Le temps des lilas" by Chausson, "Le coeur de ma mie" by Jaques-Dalcroze, "L'ile incon- nue" by Berlioz, and "Ouvre tes yeaux bleus" by Massenet, and will be followed by the aria, "Ne me refuse pas" from Massenet's opera "Herodiade."

"Canzonetta" by Loewe, "Lied

der Ghawaze" by Weingartner, "Zueigning" by Strauss, and "Mein Madel hat einen Rosenmund" by Brahms, four German pieces, Will form the third part of the pro- gram. Marty's closing numbers, sung in English, will be "O, Do Not Grieve" by Rachmaninoff, "Orpheus With His Lute" by Sul- livan, "The Last Hour" by Kram- er, and "I Saw A Little Tailor" bv Warren.

Senior Wins Grant To Study in France

Mary Ashford Oates, Class of '57 at Agnes Scott, will be a stu- dent at the University of Lyon, France, next year. Mary, an honor student and this year's "Silhou- ette" editor, has been awarded a Fulbright grant for study abroad. Her study will be in the field of European history and philosophy in the age of the Enlightenment, with emphasis on Franklin, Rous- seau, . and Lafayette as centers of interest.

The grant of 490,000 francs for living expenses plus transporta- tion, tuition, books, and incidentals is for one academic year. All ar- rangements for the program and transportation are being made by the United States Education Com- mission for France. There is an orientation period of three weeks in Paris, beginning October 2.

Lyon, in the southeast of France, is near Lake Geneva. On weekends and holidays, Mary hopes to learn to ski in the nearby Alps.

Moscow Correspondent To View Soviet Challenge

Pulitzer Prize-winner Harrison Salisbury has traveled more extensively in the Soviet Union than any other foreign corre- spondent except his predecessor on the "New York Times" staff, Walter Duranty. Sponsored by Lecture Association, Mr. Salisbury will speak to the Agnes Srott College community tomorrow evening, March 28, at

8:00 p.m. in Presser Hall. His topic will be "American Policy and the New Soviet Challenge."

The now-famous correspondent received his BA degree from the University of Minnesota in 1930. That same year he went to work for the United Press in Chicago to cover the last of the gang wars of the Prohibition Era. One of the outstanding stories of this period covered by Mr. Salisbury was the income tax evasion trial of Al Capone. Later, when he had mov- ed to a UP editorship in Washing- ton, D. C, he deserted the re-write desk long enough to cover the assassination of Senator Huey Long and the ensuing excitement in Louisiana.

During World War II, Salisbury was appointed London manager of the United Press and Director of European coverage in 1943. Spe- cial assignments took him to North Africa and to Teheran to cover the Big Four meeting there.

In 1944 the journalist made his first visit to Russia on a 6000-mile odyssey through the Urals, Siberia and Central Asia, visiting big Rus- sian steel, munitions and aircraft factories as well as the "forbid- den" cities of Samarkand and Tashkent. He spent eight months inside Russia, visiting various lib- erated cities and front areas and spending considerable time with the Red Army.

At the end of the war, he re- turned to the United States to become Foreign News Editor of the UP, covering the inaugural conference of the United Na- tions at San Francisco and subse- quent UN sessions until the end

of 1948. In 1949, Mr. Salisbury

joined the staff of the "New York Times," and three months later, he was in Moscow as its corres- pondent in the Soviet Union. In 1953, he embarked on a trip (Continued on Page 4)

Murdock To Speak On African Culture

"Cultural History of Africa" will be the topic discussed by Dr. George P. Murdock, Professor of Anthropolgy at Yale University, when he visits the Agnes Scott campus April 1. Dr. Murdock will speak Monday afternoon at 3:00 in Maclean Auditorium. A Uni- versity Center Visiting Scholar, he will speak at Emory and Ogle- thorpe Universities April 2 on the topic "Anthropology As A Com- parative Science."

Dr. Murdock has acne field work among the Indians of Brit- ish Columbia and in Australia and South America. He has held major offices in anthropological and so- ciological societies in America and in Europe.

His work include: "Our Primi- tive Contemporaries," "Outline of Cultural Materials," -and "Outline of South American Cultures." In the general field of sociology, his recent book, "Social Structures," is considered an outstanding work.

Dr. Murdock will have lunch with Agnes Scott's sociology and economics majors Monday at 1:00 p.m. in the dining hall. Anyone interested in anthropology is in- vited to join the group.

A collection of her short stories can be purchased in the library.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday. March 27, 1957

It's good to hear from Ish again, what say? After these many months, it is consoling to leam that this individual is stiirconcerned about his foster parents. And then, he out- right speaks what's on his mind. You know, that dog has a head on his shoulders . . .

Speaking of heads on shoulders, a great many such are ap- parent to a casual observer of life on this campus. Particular- ly, as spring election time draws near, heads appear grouped together discussing, speculating . . . Were Ish back in his "Hub" abode, he would be surrounded by heads, shoulders above his own perhaps, talking about the outcome of these elections.

Last fall's Presidential Mock Election demonstrated the enthusiasm and vital concern of the college community in the national political scene. Banners were waved. Speeches were applauded. Through the efforts of a great many interest- ed voters, Ike was elected to the office of President.

Agnes Scott's own election system is designed to dispense with the more elaborate campaigning present in other elec- tions and on other college campuses. It is felt that on a cam- pus such as ours, where everyone is supposed to know every- one else, there should be no need for cutthroat competition and lavish spending on propaganda devices. These undesir- able practices, by tradition, have been removed from the week of elections. Along with them go some of the glitter and gla- mor usually associated with such an occasion.

Does this mean that we are trying to soft-pedal elections?

Conversely, elections should prove to be more significant and important than ever when handled in this fashion. Know- ledge of qualifications and careful consideration of candidates, as well as attention to the matter of voting itself are of ut- most importance.

With heads on our shoulders, surely we will not pass lightly over our privilege and obligation of intelligent voting. D.R.

With the visits of three outstanding scholars to the Agnes Scott campus, this coming w T eek will offer another period of stimulating talks and valuable experiences for the Agnes Scott community. On Thursday night Mr. Harrison Salisbury, Moscow Correspondent for "The New York Times," will be presented by Lecture Association. On the following Monday, the sociology department will bring Dr. George P. Murdock, Professor of Anthropology at Yale University. The same after- noon Miss Flannery O'Connor, a recognized novelist and literary personality, will speak under the auspices of the Eng- lish department.

This week of lectures can mean a great deal to the indivi- dual. It can be a period when we attempt to broaden our in- tellectual scope. The very act of taking ourselves to the lec- tures and forcing our minds to follow what is said is a form of discipline which will stretch us intellectually.

We should view this opportunity of meeting and hearing well known people as a challenge and inspiration for our own attainments. This week should be acknowledged as a time v/hen we can benefit by new experiences when our lives as students can be enriched by having heard and met such not- able persons.

The lectures should be something to which we look forward and to which we voluntarily take ourselves rather than or- deals that we are "required" to attend. L.S.

of the program, in- deed, the justification for this innovation, is the requirement that each Scholar of the House must submit no later than May 1 of his senior year a scholarly thesis be- tween 200 and 600 pages long or a creative work of equal scope. Moreover, he must submit to an oral examination which involves him in his general field, not simp- ly the small area of his project.

Actually, the student applicants themselves as well as a faculty screening committee determines who is admitted to the program. It is not enough for applicants to have a minimum average of 85, or even a project which justifies a year of intensive study. Some- thing more is demanded. ''Many an applicant has blandly admitted, after such a going-over, that his purpose was not so sure nor his project so entrancing as he thought," says Richard B. Sewell, Associate Professor of English at Yale.

Where once the program attract- ed mainly creative writers or stu- dents majoring in English, today other academic disciplines are represented. Students in philoso- phy, political science, romance languages, anthropology, history, classics, mathematics and the bio- logical and physical sciences are participating in the Scholars of the House program.

Topics under investigation this year include: the origins of the American concept of liberty; the mind and thought of Benjamin

Juniors Gain Urban Experience In Washington Square College

Junior Year in New York, a new plan through which college students across the country can take advantage for one year of the educational opportunities in the New York metropoli- tan "urban laboratory," will begin in September at New York University's Washington Square College of Arts and Science.

The plan has been adopted in

response to requests from stu- dents in other colleges and uni- versities, according to Dean Thomas Clark Pollock of Wash- ington Square College. It calls for the acceptance of a limited num- ber of candidates who have com- pleted their sophomore studies in good standing and have the rec- ommendation of the academic of- ficers of their institutions. These students would return as seniors to their own colleges to complete the work for their degrees.

The Junior Year in New York program for each student will be designed to meet his specific edu- cational needs. It will consist of a combination of regular courses and supervised off-campus study experiences in his field of interest. The University will provide easy access to New York City's unique educational opportunities in the arts, international affairs, social service, business, communications, and other fields.

According to Associate Dean Frank H. McCloskey of Washing- ton Square College, who is admin- istering the program, NYU's School of Commerce, Accounts, and Finance, School of Education, and School of Retailing will help with the programs of Junior Year

New York University, a private (institution, was (established in 1831. Washington Square College is located at historic Washington Square in the heart of New York City, 10 minutes from mid-town Manhattan with its theaters, con- cert halls, and art museums, some 15 or 20 minutes from the United Nations, and 10 minutes from the Wall Street business district.

The College is a four-year co- educational institution, open to all properly qualified students with- out regard to race, religion, or national origin. Men outnumber women in the ratio of about two to one. During the 1956 fall term the student body of about 3,000 included 179 students from 44 for- eign countries.

A change has been made in the Blackfriars cast since the first announcement concerning the cast- ing. Because of an injury to her foot, Emily Gillham Middleton will no longer play the part of Mrs. St. Maughem. The assistant direc- tor, Nancy Kimmel, will play this role.

Tickets to "The Chalk Garden" will soon be on sale on campus. For 50 cents and $1.00 everyone can thoroughly enjoy "an evening at the theater."

Agnes Scott Alumna instructs in English

Visiting instructor in the Eng- lish Department during spring quarter is Miss Marie Woods. Miss Woods is an Agnes Scott gradu- ate, holding the B.A. degree. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and to Mortar Board while a stu- dent at the college.

Having received her M.A. de- gree from Radcliff College, Miss Woods is currently pursuing work leading to the Ph.D. at Emory University. She was a resident fellow at Radcliff College and taught from 1954 through 1956 at Wilson College, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.

Miss Woods is filling the place left vacant by Mrs. Margaret J. W. Pepperdene, who is engaged in research and writing during the spring and summer quarters on a Guggenheim Fellowship.

The influence of the educated American woman is one of the strongest forces for good in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa- tion, not narrow specialized training, that has developed her abilities and insights. As homemaker-citizen and as ca- reerist-citizen, she justifies magnificently the faith of those who a century ago were fight- ing for her right to learn what she wished to learn.

Scotties Galavant About Town Despite Scarcity Of Escorts

Scotties, returning to campus after Spring holidays, faced the pros- pect of a rather quiet weekend, mainly because the Engineers and Emoryites were still enjoying a few days of leisure before their next quarter began. Nevertheless, a number of those deprived of escorts managed to spend their time profitably seeing the latest shows, or browsing through Atlanta's numerous stores where the latest spring ensembles are being alluringly displayed. A few of the hardier, souls worked in some tennis, matches, while others swarmed onto the Inman sundeck to begin the grueling task of acquiring a tan that would pro- vide the perfect accessory to new cottons and the bevy of spring parties just around the corner.

The Tower theatre, where "The Barretts of Wimpole Street" was playing, attracted a multitude of Scotties. Anne Dodd, Margaret Minter, Runita MeCurdy, Maria Karris, Sissy Daniels, Anne Rivers Pa^ne, Irene Shaw, Betty Edmunds, Joanne Brownlee, Lavonne Nal- ley, Jean Clark, Barby Sinclair, Hazel Thomas Ring and Janice Jones were among the many who enjoyed this all-tune favorite. At the other end of Peachtree, Beverly Dell?, Peggy Fanson, Harriette Lamb, Ann Parker and Caroline Dudley thrilled to the spectacular grandeur of "Cinerama Holiday."

Proving that winter sports need no longer be confined to winter months were Peggy Edney, Sally Smith and Mary Clapp who, with their dates, composed a party of ice skating enthusiasts. And lastly, credit for the first picnic of spring quarter must go to "Mother Wee" and her Hardeman crew, i.e., McDonald, Ellis, Stewart, Barlow etc. who journeyed to Pine Lake for an outing, well chaperoned, of course, by none other than Ramona Cartright.

This far-reaching trip to Soviet Asia was the first ever made by any American correspon- dent to all of these cities and the most extensive ever made in mod- ern times by any foreigner to this area, which even in Czarist days was sealed off from the outside world. In his report to the Ameri- can public, the tall slender "New York Times" correspondent gives an eye-witness report of the tre- mendous industrial area which the Communists are building in "for- bidden" Central Asia.

Soon after his return to the United States from his Moscow assignment, Mr. Salisbury wrote a long series of penetrating art- icles for the "New York Times" called "Russia Re-Viewed." The articles also served to earn for the

Mr. Salisbury expanded his or- iginal series of articles into an eminently readable book called Americans in Russia, published early in 1955.

Since his return from Russia, Mr. Salisbury has been covering general assignments for the "New York Times." When a group of So- viet farmers toured this country 1 during the summer of 1955, he was the natural choice of his editors to accompany the Russians on their history-making trip through Midwest farmland.

Blackfriars Add Final Touches To 'Chalk Garden Production

Excitement is growing among the Blackfriars as the finish- ing touches are being added to their spring quarter theatrical production, 'The Chalk Garden." In just two nights, the cam- pus community will be able to share this excitement as they sit in front of the footlights and watch the curtain rise on fascinating and hilarious charac-

ters. On Friday night, April 5, at 8:30, this play, which is one of the best high comedies written by a contemporary author, will b^ pro- duced in Presser Hall, and it prom- ises to afford a night full of en- joyment.

Preparations have been under- way for weeks, in order that this play may be one of the best ever produced at Agnes Scott. The set, which is professionally built and painted, has gone up under the di- rection of Catherine Hodgin and Gene Allen Reinero, co-chairmen of the scenery committee. This is a realistic set showing a drawing room of an English country manor. The interior of the house has been furnished according to the time and place by Nancy Flagg, the props chairman.

Jo Ann Beasley, who is in charge of sound, and Caro McDonald, who is in charge of lights, have been practicing so that all stage effects will run smoothly on the night of production. Blackfriars actresses have little trouble in transforming themselves into Eng- lish folk of varied character with the help of appropriate costumes provided by Frances Sattes and her costume committee.

Posters seen about campus and in Decatur advertising the play were designed by Nancy Kimmel and Carol Pike and executed by Carol Pike. Programs are being printed under the supervision of Nora King. Joann Hathaway is house manager and announces that

The next edition of "The Allies Scott News" will appear on Thursday, April 11 rather than on Wednesday, April 10.

cokes or coffee will be sold at intermission in the Little Quad- rangle, if weather permits.

Marilyn Tribble is stage mana- ger, and has been supervising the many rehearsals which will make Blackfriars' production of 'The Chalk Garden" a very professional one. Miss Roberta Winter and Miss Judith Kase of the Speech De- partment have devoted many hours to directing and advising members of the cast.

"The Chalk Garden" has been proclaimed by New York critics as "delightful and shatteringly funny." This play, having been on Broadway only a year ago, was recognized in "The New Yorker" as being "real wit turned up for the first time this season ... in- hibited by some of the most spec- tacular eccentrics you have ever met."

Tickets are now on sale for $1.00 and 50 cents.

Seminary Professor To Discuss Qumran Scrolls, Biblical Study

Dr. Frank M. Cross, Jr., Biblical scholar, will speak in Maclean Auditorium on Tuesday, April 9 at 8 p.m. The topic for his lecture will be u The Qumran Scrolls and Biblical Studies."

A native Southerner, Dr. Cross is Associate Professor of Old Testament at McCormick

degree from McCormick Theolog- ical Seminary and his Doctor of Philosophy degree from Johns Hopkins University. His interest has been primarily in the field of Old Testament and Semitics.

In 1953, Dr. Cross was appointed a permanent member of an eight- man international staff charged with publication of newly-found manuscripts from the area of the Dead Sea. His responsibility is publication of the Biblical group of the largest find, that of so- called Cave Four, Qumran.

Dr. Cross is a frequent contribu- tor to numerous journals, of which "The Journal of Biblical Litera- ture," "Biblical Archaeologist," and "Christian Century" are a few. He is co-author of a book in the American Oriental Series en- titled Early Hebrew Orthogra- phy, which was written in col- laboration with D. N. Freedman.

"We love you, Mr. Stukes." So read the dinner napkins at a recent festive occasion, and so run our sentiments. Never has there been a friend so consoling, or dean so deserving of love and praise. Six hundred strong, united in secret, then openly exultant, we join to express a portion of our gratitude to one who has ever given untiringly of himself in service to students and the college. Truly, there will never be another S. G. Stukes!

Elections call forth mixed emotions. Those newly elected to office disguise trembling knees and humbled hearts to blossom into smiles and face the future with courage. Those time-worn souls who now retire from active duty breathe a sigh of relief, at the same time remembering the joys of work that has been theirs. Congratulations and sympathy may be equally well expressed to those assuming new duties and to those casting them aside.

On the eve of leaving office, this editor must express to those with whom she has worked a deep sense of gratitude for the unselfish service they have rendered. To members of the editorial staff, reporters, and business staff members, a hearty "Thank-you." And to those about to take over the keys of the typewriter, a sincere "Godspeed. " The future lies in your hands.

"The play's the thing" is a well-known saying that is especially appropriate on our campus at this time.

This Friday night our drama group, Blackfriars, is present- ing "The Chalk Garden." A recent Broadway hit, this is a stimulating and delightfully entertaining play.

Each year Blackfriars produces two plays for the enjoyment of the campus community. As members of the community we should support this group by attending their performances. The whole group under the able direction of Miss Roberta Winter and Miss Judith Kase works hard to make each play an excellent performance in every way.

Work on "The Chalk Garden" has been going on now for several weeks. Back stage crews as well as the acting crew have put in long hours in preparation for this play.

But a play is not a play without an audience. The audience makes the play and nothing makes a drama group feel so good as seeing a "full house" on performance night. G.A.R.

oCetter to tli e Editor

Greetings from the North coun- try! Although we are from the land of the Arctic snows, your pa- per is widely read and appreciated here on our campus. News from the sunny South is always wel- come.

I am writing in response to an article on page two of the Febru- ary 20 issue of the "News," con- cerning the attendance of coeds at Agnes Scott. The closing para- graph reads: "All that remains is for a coed to take a degree from the college. That would really set a precedent." I heartily agree with this and I want you to know that, if the opportunity ever pre- sents itself, I'm willing to try!

This is Your Life', Relatives, New Automobile Highlight Expression of Appreciation to Stukes

Prompt Delivery DR. 3-1665

YOUR NEAREST DRUG STORE

Friday, March 29, was a day set aside as an expression of love for Dean Samuel Guerry Stukes who has served in addi- tion to his teaching and administrative duties as ''counselor to students, back-patter, sounding board, and giver of loving

As Penny Smith, narrator of the skit presented at noon in Gaines, remarked, we are living proof that a woman (600 of them, in fact) can keep a secret. Since the mid- dle of fall quarter a steering group representing faculty, alumnae, ad- ministrators, and student body has been working on plans for the surprise, which would show at least the appreciation for the in- tangible gifts which Dean Stukes has given unceasingly throughout his forty-four years of service at Agnes Scott College. The secret was kept in spite of close calls such as the one which arose when he picked up in curiosity the mic- rophone which was silently record- ing his voice in the lobby of But- trick.

Miss Leslie Gaylord of the Mathematics department and Pen- ny Smith, president of Student Government, were appointed co- chairmen of activities for "Stukes Day." Correspondence with trus- tees and members of Mr. Stukes' family was Miss Gaylord's main assignment, but she also attended to last minute details such as hav- ing phony appointments made for the afternoon of March 29 so that Mr. Stukes would plan to be on the campus.

Penny Smith was responsible for the student participation, and was master of ceremonies during the program, with the aid of sound effects from the organ of Virginia Anne Redhead. Mrs. Roff Sims, Professor of History, was the cen- ter to which all gifts for Mr. Stukes would be sent.

A skit-writing group headed by Carolyn Barker wove the facts into "This Is Your Life, Mr. Stukes," which 'began with the birth of Little Guerry, who laugh- ed and giggled instead of crying. After stating that most children are pacified with candy, Penny presented Mr. Stukes with a pack- age of his favorite since child- hood, blue cheese. To the delight of the audience, such student pranks as the dawn milkings'of a cow belonging to the president of Davidson College were revealed. Mr. Stukes received his B.D. de- gree from Princeton University and, having decided to enter Christian education rather than

the ministry, he was soon teach- ing at Agnes Scott at the tele- graphed request of Dr. F. H. Gaines.

Memories of chaperoning and

train-meeting, of being hauled into a police station after going through a red light at Five Points (he is color blind), of radio in- struction to student pilots during World War I were followed by the story of Mr. Stukes' courtship and marriage to Miss Frances Gil- leland, a student at the College. Mr. Lewis H. Johnson, who had given Mrs. Stukes voice lessons while head of the music depart- ment, was a guest on the program and supervised the mock recital which was attended by Mr. Stukes. Visits in his Hupmobile, notes passed by Miss Gaylord, and the use of Miss Louise McKinney's dining room as a date parlor fur- thered the romance.

Another surprise for Mr. Stukes was the appearance of his daugh- ter Marjorie, now Mrs. J. B. Strickland of Lewisburg, Pennsyl- vania, with her young son, Peter, who had been staying at Miss Gaylord's in order not to be seen before the program.

Prop chairman Celeste Rogers chose an ingenious device for rep- resenting the help which Dean Stukes has rendered to students. A large brown door, replica of the one outside his office in Buttrick Hall, was entered by several gloomy, dejected, depressed girls. One by one, they left his office

grinning, while the audience heard only the bubbling laughter of Mr. Stukes, played by Peggy Fanson.

The scene from a recent faculty meeting sowed Mr. Stukes as the perfect faculty - student liaison. After reading the bogus letter re- questing permission to present "Skit Day," he asked that the fa- culty be good sports in the face of ribbing from the students. He felt that "The students just need this!"

The luncheon, arranged by Frances Barker and Mrs. Ethel J. Hatfield, the college dietician, was served to all members of the Agnes Scott community and their guests. Seated at the head table over which John Flint, for many years a member of the dining hall staff, presided, were many of Dean Stukes' close relatives.

As groups left the dining hall, they gathered on the steps and lawn to await the climax of the day. On the steps of the building Mr. Stukes was given the keys to a metallic-rose Oldsmobile by Dr. Alston on behalf of all the friends who had contributed toward the gift. During lunch, the car, had been driven to the front of the dining hall, where it was "wrap- ped" with a clear plastic cover and wide blue ribbons.

Even greater than the tangible gift perhaps was the spirit which pervaded the whole campus throughout the day. It was one of smiles, excitement, and self- less love the family feeling of which Dean Stukes is the "Con- stant Symbol."

Sophomores Plan Mardi Gras Dance

Sophomores are eagerly plan- ning costumes they and their dates will wear to the Mardi Gras Dance, scheduled for Saturday, April 6, from 9 to 12 p.m. This festivity, limited strictly to mem- bers of the sophomore class and their dates, will be held in the Walters recreation room.

Requirements for entry to the dance are $1.00 per couple and a mask each. Costumes are not es- sential, but the Mardi Gras spirit is. On the basis of the best cos- tume, a Queen of the Mardi Gras and her court will be chosen.

Music for dancing will be pro- vided by Neil Montgomery's or- chestra. Two singers will be fea- tured for the occasion.

Clear, Balmy Days Enhance Scotties Spring Social Whirl

The Spring social whirl gathered momentum last weekend, aided by the balmy weather and many Scotties eager to participate in fes- tivities of all sorts. Everything from the circus to the cinema was on the program as the "D. O." bustled once again and impatient dates swarmed the hall in Main, checking the wall clock again and again and . , .

Three Tech fraternities, the Betas, Phi Delts and Sigma Chis, joined forces to become triple hosts for the Miami Triad, held this year at Robinson's. Among the myriads of Scotties who enjoyed this gala event were: Liz Acree, Sally Fuller, Cynthia Butts, Lillian Hart, Ellen McFarland, Dana Hundley, Martha Holmes, Runita McCurdy, Jorie Muller, Annette Teague, Martha Davis, Carolyn Smith, Lang Sydnor, Nancy Edwards, Betty Cline, Carolyn West, Becky Wilson and at least twenty others. The Standard Town and Country Club, scene of the Phi Chi medical fraternity formal, attracted Sandra Diekerson, Jo Sawyer, Frannie Barker, and Sara Townsend for another evening of dancing 'til the wee hours.

Proving that no one ever outgrows the thrill of a circus were Sylvia Ray, Peyton Baber, Kay Wilson, Wynn Hughes, Kathleen Kirk, Laura Westbrook, Margaret Salvadore, Archie Boswell, Sylvia Saxon, Judy Nash, Bonnie Gershen, Ces Rudisill and Harriet Talmadge who watch- ed the F.S.U. State Circus perform in Decatur, and gasped at the aerial antics of their star tight-rope walker, Ramona Cartright.

A weekend in the country was on the schedule of a host of Scotties who traveled with Dec Pres to Rutledge, Ga. for a retreat. Seen re- turning tired, tanned, and happy were Anne Eyler, Cardy Howard, Kay Lamb, Jean Clark, Martha Riggins, Martha Jane Morgan, Mary Clapp, Anne Terry, Angeline Pope, Carolyn Hoskins, "Pinky" Me- Call, and Marion Barry. Another "nature girl," Carolyn Langston, picnicked at Vogel State Park.

Other fraternity party-goers last weekend included Nancy Flagg, Emily Bivens, Annette Whipple, Carolyn Herman, Dannie Reynolds, Pat Lenhardt, and Jackie Rountr.ee who socialized with the Delts at Tech. Linda Dancy, Corky Feagin, Betty Cobb, and "Tweetie" Tram- mell partied with the Emory Betas at the Venetian Country Club. Bessie Murphy, Nell Archer, and Mary Mac Witherspoon enjoyed the hospitality of the Tech Phi Kappa Tau's while another engineering r group, the Lamba Chis feted Marianna Bramlitt and Carolyn Hazard. A last look over Emory way revealed Peggy Edney, India Clark, Maria Harris and Joyce Thomas having a ball with the Phi Delts.

Of special interest . . . Anne Corse traveled to Presbyterian College for a weekend of fun . . . Other "roadrunners" included Melba Cron- enberg who journeyed to Auburn and Frances Jean Elliott to F.S.U. . . Sallie Meek and Mary Byrd entertained their best beaux around the campus vicinity . . . Carol Pike rates special congratula- tions because of her new T.K.E. pin from a gentleman at Tech. Best wishes also to Susie Ware with an S.A.E. pin from Emory and to Susie Miller who is displaying the Phi Delt sword and shield.

Newest members of the "Sparkler's Club" are Frances Holtsclaw, Carolyn Barker, and Tesa Hand, who are sporting third-finger gems. 'Bye now

The influence of the educated American woman is one of the strongest forces for good in our national life today.

ASC-Princeton Choral Groups! (f I f] To Give Public Concert April 11

"Davidde Penitente," an oratorio by W. A. Mozart, will be the featured presentation of a joint concert to be given by the Princeton University and Agnes Scott College glee clubs, Thursday, April 11. The concert will be presented in Gaines chapel at 8:00 p.m

In addition to the feature num- ber, each glee club will present a separate selection of choral works. Under the direction of Miss Roxde Hagopian, the Agnes Scott glee club will render a group of Brahms' love songs. The Prince- ton glee club, under the direction of Dr. Weinrich, will present a varied group of selections.

Sponsors of the program are the Atlanta Princeton Alumni As- sociation group. Following the concert, a formal dance will be given at the Capital City Club honoring the two glee clubs.

Princeton's glee club was first organized in 1856, and in 1894 ; made its first tour. During its present Southern jaunt, the club will perform with the glee clubs of Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, and Randolph-Macon Women's College in Lynchburg, Virginia, as well as Agnes Scott. Also included on the itinerary are engagements in Florida and other southern states.

Versatility of musical selection is a trademark of the Princeton glee club. Performances such as one of Randall Thompson's "Test- ament of Freedom," with Serge Koussevitsky and the Boston Symphony in 1946 attest to its ability to perform serious music. On the other hand, the club has always had an extensive reper- toire of college, Negro spirituals and even popular light music.

Another feature of the glee club is a group of specialty sing- ers, the "Decemvirs." This year, these twelve singers have been specializing in madrigals.

Director of the glee club, Dr. Weinrich, has served as director of music at the Church of the Holy Communion in New York and was head of the organ department at the Westminster Choir College from 1934 to 1940. His present title which he has held since 1943

The year's at the spring And day's at the morn; Morning's at seven; The hillside's dew-pearled; The lark's on the wing; The snail's on the thorn: God's in his heaven All's right with the world!

It is the magic of springtime that inspires the human heart to find expression in words of the poet, Browning. It is the newness and freshness of a radiant spring morning that make the heart sing and lighten life's load of trivialities. It is with new energy and vigor that spring bursts forth to carry on nature's work. The world takes on an appearance of cleanness and perfection that only spring can provide.

And with the advent of this season it is significant that the campus community is also prepared to renew and refresh itself for the coming year. Spring elections are now over. The rising leaders are on the door step of a year which will chal- lenge their abilities, ingenuity, and patience. Like spring, leaders have been chosen who are ready with new energy and vigor to carry on the jobs which the experienced leaders leave.

The "Agnes Scott News" congratulates the newly elected officers. It is an honor, nevertheless an opportunity for one's best work and service. L.S.

Aiumnoe Association Institutes New Plan for Class Reunions

Agnes Scott College is experimenting this year with a new plan for class reunions. Alumnae will gather here Satur- day, April 13, at 10:45 a.m. to celebrate their homecoming instead of the usual program of holding reunions at Com- mencement time.

What has suddenly descended on the Agnes Scott campus? What has made it almost impossible to study, to stay indoors?

Something is in the air and nothing can stop it or control it. It must run its course. The good, clean smell of freshly cut grass and the gay chirping of birds awaken our senses. Suddenly our campus is transformed by the loveliness of white dogwood, red azaleas, and fresh green leaves.

The natural beauty of the campus is enhanced by the ex- cellent care Mr. Rogers and his staff give to it. The college wishes to thank these men who contribute to making spring even more lovely.

As we gaze at the beauty of nature it seems as if spring has rolled out a plush green carpet especially to welcome the alumnae who will be holding their class reunions this week- end. Spring is the most inviting time of the year to return to the campus to visit. Renewing old friendships in this plea- sant atmosphere brings back memories of former springtimes spent here as a student.

Another group we wish to welcome to our campus is the Princeton University Glee Club which arrives today. To- night this group and the Agnes Scott Glee Club will present a joint concert. This is an opportunity for all of us to enjoy an evening of music. G.A.R.

Gay Tables, Japanese Lanterns Recapture Memory of Tearoom

By Catherine Girardeau

"With the passing of the tearoom went one of the most plea- sant memories of Agnes Scott/' reminises Miss Louise Mc- Kinney, Professor Emeritus of English. Back in 1915 when alumnae and the campus as a whole felt a great need for a more extensive social life at Agnes Scott, the happy solution to the problem was a tearoom for

students, faculty, and guests. A junk room in the basement of the old science building was quickly converted into a tearoom which was named "The Silhouette" after the annual.

Gaily painted tables, walls adorned with silhouettes of danc- ing belles, and Japanese lanterns swinging from the ceiling provided festive atmosphere. The tearoom which was operated by Martha Bishop, an alumna, specialized in "steaming soup that defies the cold winds; nice, crisp donuts sprinkled with sugar; wonderful salads of 57 varieties; marvelous, hot chocolate that is guaranteed to revive drooping spirits; and the daintiest kinds of sandwiches that disappear as if by magic." A pic- ture of this renowned social cen- ter with the preceding description can be seen in the 1921 "Silhou- ette."

In 1922, the Anna Young Alum- nae House was opened and the tearoom was moved. With an in- crease in facilities and an excel- lent kitchen, the tearoom operated on a full scale basis. Visiting alumnae and overnight guests ate here regularly. The tearoom was the scene of numerous parties, teas, luncheons, and even wedding receptions. The large dining room adjoining the living room was used for parties also.

Both faculty a_nd students loved to go to the "teahouse" for snacks and meals. The most popular meal with students was breakfast. Cin- namon toast, a special treat, and coffee were only a dime. Faculty members particularly liked to gather at night for coffee parties since coffe was not served in the school dining room. (The school doctor did not think that coffee was good for the girls.) The tea- room was open continually until 10:30 at night.

During the first few years the tearoom was managed and run by the Alumnae Association until the job became too big. Florence Brown Arnold succeeded Martha Bishop as manager. Mrs. Fanny G. Mayson Donaldson was another one of the early promoters of the enterprise. The venture was a success financially as well as so- cially in the early years of its existence.

The depression years caused a financial strain in the operation from which the tearoom never fully recovered. The rising cost

of living, food restrictions, and the problem of help were terrific during the war and also the post war years.

When the Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall was opened in 1950, the tearoom was discontinued. The plan was that it would be the central eating place for the cam- pus community and guests. There are still a few hangovers in equip- ment such as tables, chairs, china, 'nd silverware which are used in the alumnae house. There are two huge 1925 gas stoves which Miss Ann Worthy Johnson, alumnae secretary, will gladly sell to any prospective customer.

Faculty members especially re- gretted the end of the tearoom ^ince they had done their enter- taining there. The tearoom was horn out of a pressing need and idded a. delightful stimulus to campus social life during its 35- vears existence.

Sociological Society To Meet; Elections ASC Students Will Register

Sociology and economics students from Agnes Scott will assist in the registration of sociologists from all over the south April 12 and 13 as the Southern Sociological Society holds its annual meeting at Atlanta's Henry Grady Hotel. Atlanta is the the center for the Society, which has over 500 members in all parts of the South, mostly teachers or research per- sonnel. Miss Mildred Mell and Miss Anna Greene Smith of the Sociology and Economics Depart- ment here are on the arrange- ments committee for the meeting.

According to Miss Smith, this meeting will provide a rare oppor- tunity for the students to meet nationally-known sociologists and to hear outstanding papers read by them.

Programs will deal with such topics as race relations, prob- lems, industrial sociology, com- munity sociology, medical sociol- ogy, and social theory. Each pro- gram will consist of the reading of several papers by leading so- ciologists.

Miss Smith points out that, since over a hundred papers will be pre- sented during the course of the meeting, several programs must be presented at the same time. However, she adds that it is con- sidered perfectly good manners to leave while one paper is being read in order to hear part of an- other, so as to get the fullest benefit from the meeting.

Students of sociology from other institutions in this region will also attend the meeting. Delegations will be present from the Universi- ties of Tennessee, Georgia, Flori- da, and North Carolina.

Seniors To Present Joint Organ Recital

Nancy Flagg and Peggy Wilson Are will present a joint senior organ recital on Monday, April 15, at 8:00 p.m. in Gaines Chapel. Neither Nancy nor Peggy are mu- sic majors, but both are students of Mr. Raymond Martin, of the Agnes Scott College Music De- partment.

Included on the program will be the following selections played by Nancy Flagg: "CariJlon," by Vi- erne; two Choral Preludes for the New Year, by Bach: two pieces for the musical clock, by Haydn; "Pastorale," by Franck; and "Song of Peace," by Langlais.

Peggy Are's portion of the pro- gram will consist of a Choral Pre- lude to "Magnificat," by Buxte- hude; "Chorale in B Minor," by Franck; "Folk Tune," Whitlock; "The Nativity," Langlais; and "Toccata" from the Fifth Sym- phony by Widor.

Members of the Agnes Scott community and the public are in- vited to attend the recital.

Mollie Merrick and Dannie Rey- nolds will meet with the treasurers to explain the essentials of bank- ing such as how to balance a led- ger and write checks.

The house presidents for 1957 will be addressed by Miss Scan- drett and V. A. Redhead on the special duties and problems con- nected with their position. Such questions as where to purchase materials and how to establish contact with the newspaper will be answered for the Publicity group by Diana Carpenter.

The purpose of this year's lead- ership conference is to deal with the specific problems of our cam- pus community and to give the new leaders ideas which will be helpful to them when they assume office.

Economic Tension Intensifies Red -Inspired Riots In Chile

To any uninformed outsider, the recent riots in Chile which resulted from a government announcement of a one-cent bus fare increase may have seemed a typical example of hot-headed reactionism so often associated with our South American neighbors. But the Chileans themselves realize that the riots really are the result '

of deep-seated economic tensions built up for many years.

Since the war, Chile, formerly the world's exclusive and richest source of copper, has been forced to compete with other nations for the international copper market. Moreover, the Chilean nitrate in- dustry has been dealt a nearly mortal blow by a rival German process, thus heightening the eco- nomic instability and inequality of this land. It is no wonder that foreigners have described Chile as floundering in a virtual "Alice in Wonderland" economy where in- flationary forces have produced widespread labor unrest and social discontent.

Whether Chile's president, Car- los Ibanez, will be able to inject the needed disciplinary measures into this chaotic scene remains a puzzlement. There is no doubt that a small but well-organized group of Communists played a decisive role in inciting the violence that accompanied the recent student demonstrations. But it may be this very fear of a future Com-

the democratic groups in Chile to unite for common action to check this spreading threat.

Many anxious eyes are going to be turned on this elongated coun- try stretching along the west coast of South America during the next months, awaiting the outcome of the present convulsive situation. Civil war a military dictator- ship Communist conquest or a democratic triumph: these are the alternatives. Which will Chile choose?

Alumnae To Gather April 23 in Walters

The Atlanta Alumnae Club will hold its April meeting on Tuesday, April 23, in the recreation room in the basement of Walters Hall.

"Is it nothing to you, all you that pass by?" This is the question which appears in "The Lamentations of Jeremiah" of the Bible and which reveals the "affliction," "vileness," and deep "sorrow" which, in words of Jeremiah, characterized the city of Jerusalem. This is also the question which has been chosen to be the theme of our 1957 Holy Week observ- ance.

Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Taken out of context and related to our own modern, individual lives in this Easter season, this question may well have significance lor us. Often we become so wrapped up in our worldly, every- day affairs that we casually "slide over" the meaning of Holy Week and of Jesus Christ's supreme sacrifice. We don't for- get that it is the Easter season, that Christ died on the cross for us, but we fail to find the true meaning and spiritual strengthening which can come from that knowledge.

Christian Association offers the entire campus community an opportunity to observe Holy Week and in it to find the truest significance. Careful planning has been done to provide chapel programs, vesper services, and an Easter Sunrise Ser- vice which best enhance the reverence and joy of the season.

Let us make this Easter "something" for us "something" glorious and wonderful which comes from our heartfelt un- derstanding of Holy Week and Jesus Christ's resurrection. L.S.

Agnes Scott's newly elected and appointed officers will gather together next Tuesday afternoon to discuss the respon- sibilities of being leaders. We feel that this Leadership Con- ference sponsored by Mortar Board is beneficial to both the officers and the college community. It enables the student leaders to realize fully the duties their offices entail. The Conference also provides a time for discussing the various problems encountered in their jobs. The girls who are going to lead us in the next school session will have an opportunity to become better acquainted with those with whom they will work. Although they know one another already through campus affiliations, it is important that they feel a unity of spirit as they work together for the betterment of the entire college.

A leadership conference such as this also benefits the col- lege community in that it offers more thoroughly trained persons for a better co-ordinated program of service. H.T.K.

Colorful History Characterizes

Evolution of ASC Publications

The student publications at Agnes Scott have evolved through a long and interesting history. Many changes have taken place since their first editions and some quite amusing incidents have marked their history.

In 1891 when the Mnemosynean Society was organized,

the first student publication came into existence. It was called The Mneniosynean, a monthly maga- zine, literary character and edited by the students. Kate (Logan) Good was the first editor. After the Propylean Society, also a lit- erary group, was formed, the mag- azine became the joint enterprise of the two societies.

In 1900, as nearly as can be as- certained from the records, the name " Aurora" was transferred from the annual to the monthly magazine and it has continued under that name to the present time. In 1916, however, "Aurora" changed to a quarterly magazine. Yearbook Becomes Silhouette Until 1902, the annual was known as "Aurora." The first one was published in 1897. The name was changed in 1902 to "The Sil- houette," a name suggested by Miss Lytle, an English teacher here.

The following is a quote from the Annual of 1902 by the editor, Emily Winn, '03:

"The greatest achievement of the Junior Class (Class of 1903) was that of giving to Agnes Scott 'The Silhouette.' When the ques- tion of having an annual arose among {he students, the Juniors with characteristic zeal took the responsibility upon themselves, and this little book will always be cherished as in a peculiar sense their own."

The character of the publication changed with its name. It was no longer under faculty supervision but became entirely the responsi- bility of the students. Since 1902 the annual has been published each year except for the year 1919. The issue of the "Aurora" for Ap- ril-May 1919 states that the stu- dent body voted not to publish an annual that year as a "patriotic gesture" during World War I.

A letter to Mrs. Byers from a 1904 graduate tells of the "sad history" of the 1903 "Silhouette":

"In the first place, it was not as clever as 1902, and we knew it. Two of us wanted leather backs

which were quite expensive. Burn- ed leather was quite popular. We asked if we two might decide alone about the covers without disclos- ing our plans to the others until the annuals appeared. Did you ever hear of such nerve!

"Then we locked ourselves in my room every spare minute we could get and burned the covers ourselves. We knew that queer odors sometimes floated over the transom, but no one ever said a word. When the material was ready for printing, the printers in At- lanta went on a strike. Finally, in desperation, we sent the manu- script to a Chicago firm. The cost was greater, there was no time left for careful proof reading, and, in the end, the printed pages ar- rived two days after commence- ment. Some of us had to stay over, tie the covers on, and mail the copies to those students who were willing to trust us with their sub- scriptions. Needless to say, the venture was not a financial suc- cess. The editors felt keenly their moral responsibility. Through their senior year free time was dedicat- (Continued on Page 4)

Stukes Will Direct Course Selections

The week of April 29 through May 4 is to be course selection week for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Freshmen and juniors will plan their courses for next year and sophomores will plan courses and select their majors. At Convocation, April 24, Dean Stukes will explain course selec- tion procedure. After Convocation instructions will be posted on the Buttrick bulletin boards with de- partmental, faculty adviser's, and major professor's office hours. Students are asked to pay close attention to these instructions and follow them carefully. Course cards and major cards will be due May 4, at 1 p.m.

SUMMER Evening Attire

(Continued from Page 1)

Providing for complete and in- telligent consideration of all is- sues affecting students as stu- dents, the Congress is organized on three levels of activity. Partici- pants attend preliminary orienta- tion sessions and meet in groups of 20-25 to discuss proposals of the sub-commissions; convene to further discuss proposals of the sub-commissions in the larger commission meetings where some are formalized into reports and resolutions; and finally, attend the plenary sessions of the Con- gress during which they vote of- ficially upon those resolutions.

Students who take the oppor- tunity to participate in the Con- gress will join in the 10th anni- versary celebration of USNSA's service to the educational commu- nity and the beginning of a second decade of student leadership.

All Saints' Church Opens New Center

Canterbury Club took possession of its own College Center in the new All Saints' Church Parish House at a dedication service and open house last Sunday, April 14.

The $75,000 Center, intended to be used freely by all Episcopal college students in Atlanta and Decatur, and their guests, is lo- cated on the top floor of the Par- ish House, and consists of air- conditioned study rooms, snack bar, music room, chaplain's of- fices, and lounge. An apartment in the Center is occupied by two Tech juniors, George Spragins and Al Nichols.

The College Center will be op.?n for relaxation and study and dates every day of the week, and every evening until 11:00 o'clock, when the doors will be closed. However, students may stay as late as they wish.

Parasols, Petticoats Prevail When Old South Rises Again

With the arrival of Spring on the Scott campus many young girls' minds and hearts have turned to interests other than purely intellec- tual attainments.

In keeping with the traditional sweep of new pins and rings through the campus at this time of the year, Betty Cobb received a Beta pin and Kathleen Brown an ATO pin. Of course, the biggest events of the week-end were the annual RA Old South festivities. The RA's from Tech, Emory, and Georgia joined forces to celebrate the great occasion. Many of the Scott girls were seen being escorted by their bearded friends.

Among those seen leisurely eating hog jowls and blackeyed peas and afterwards dancing to the music of Albert Coleman at the Stan- dard Club were Marian Barry, Kay White, Margaret Benton, Edith Tower, Peggy Bradford, June Connally, Diane Parks, Sue Lile, Peg Elliott, Lynn Frederick, Martha Holmes, and Pat Lenhardt. Some of the lovely southern belles riding in the "Parade for Southern Supre- macy" Saturday morning were Nora Ann Simpson, Carol Rogers, Ivy Furr, Helen Culpepper, and Emma Belle Roan. Still more Scotties at- tended the beautiful Old South Ball held at the Biltmore Saturday night. Among those present for the climax of the gala week-end were June Hall, Mary Jane Pickens, Cathryn Collins, Betty Garrard, Nancy Bowers, Suzanne Merriweather, and Margaret Candler.

The Old South Ball was not the only entertainment that Atlanta had to offer festive young girls, for the ZIP formal was also held Friday night at the Shriners' Lodge. Ann MeWhorter, Anita Moses, and Lib Geiger were lucky enough to be invited.

The main topic of conversation on campus last Thursday was the handsome "Ivy-Leaguers," more properly known as the Princeton Glee Club. After the concert presented jointly by the Agnes Scott and Princeton Glee Clubs the two singing groups were feted at a dance given at the Capitol City Club. Helen Scott Maddox, Nancy Flagg, Karen Beall, Jo Ann Hathaway, Billie Rainey, Liza Morris, and Sally Fuller all seemed to be enjoying the gentlemen's company.

Quite a few Scotties traveled to other college campuses for still more parties and dances. As usual, Spring Frolics lured many David- son fans up to North Carolina. Some of these were Susie Bailey, Anne Selph, Lillian Shannonhouse, Susan Purser, Carolyn Herman. Sally Meek, Sybil Strupe, Phyllis Cox, and Martha Davis. Caro Mc- Donald and Eleanor Lee attended the Germans at the University of North Carolina, while Jane Law and Lisa Ambrose were visiting at Darlington. Still more Scotties ventured to Auburn for the Village Fair. They were Alice Prather, Francis Jean Elliot, Pris Gainer, and Harriet Lamb. Jill Imray and Val Edwards visited Knoxville for SAE festivities, and Jean Porter went to Florida State Univer- sity for the IFC week-end. Many familiar faces were seen around campus this past week-end, having returned for Alumnae Day which was held Saturday. Several of last year's seniors here for the luncheon Saturday and party that night were Carolyn Moon, Linda Guenther, Mimi Curtis, Judy Brown, and Sallie Greenfield. That's all now . . .

The influence of the educated American woman is one of the strongest forces for good in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa- tion, not narrow specialized training, that has developed her abilities and insights. As homemaker-citizen and as ca- reerist-citizen, she justifies magnificently the faith of those who a century ago were fight- ing for her right to learn what she wished to learn.

A Junior batter strikes in first victory of Softball season.

Hard-Hitting Juniors Overcome Freshman Team in First Game

The 1957 Agnes Scott softball season was opened Friday, April 12, by a Senior forfeit to the Sophomores and a Junior win of 12 to 7 over the Freshmen.

The first game of the 1957 softball season saw the hard hitting Juniors defeat a valiant Freshman team 12 to 7. Rally- ing in the first inning after two

outs, the Juniors scored 9 runs before being retired and they held this lead throughout the game. The Freshman team, though un- able to overcome the Junior lead, never gave up and played well throughout the game. They held the Juniors to only three more runs during the game while scoring seven themselves four of which were made in the last inning.

Facing the excellent pitching of Martha Meyer, the Freshmen were retired in the first inning with only one hit a single by Ann Trotter. Peace Fewell, Freshman pitcher, retired the first two Jun- ior batters. The game looked as if it were to be a pitcher's duel. But the Juniors, sparked by doubles by Meyer and Tinkler and a triple by Ellis, began to rally. Nine players scored from ten hits be-

fore the team was retired.

The second inning saw the Freshmen retired in order, and the Juniors added another run to their score. Coming to life in the third inning, the Freshmen led by Ful- ler and Fewell scored three runs while holding the Juniors to only one. The Freshman rally was thwarted in the fourth inning when they were retired with only one hit and no runs. In this inning the Juniors scored only one run a homer by Stewart.

With the score at the end of the fourth inning 12 to 3 in favor of the Juniors, the game seemed over, but the Freshman team did not think so. Taking advantage of the tiring Juniors, they scored four runs three of which were scored after there were two outs against them. With two runners on base the team was finally retired by a strike out. The game ended 12 to 7 in favor of the Juniors. Senior Forfeit

The Seniors forfeited to the Sophomores Friday. Ann Terry, Senior manager, reported that she does have nine players for a team but important events caused most of her players to be out of town Friday, therefore under the pre- sent rule requiring that a team must field nine players or else be disqualified, she had no choice but to forfeit. This rule was pass- ed by a majority of the class man- agers in the belief that the only fair thing to do for both teams involved was to require that each team field nine players.

Therefore, she urges all Seniors who possibly can to come out for practice so that a nine player Senior team will always be in- sured.

(Continued from Page 3) ed to raising money in various ways to pay off the indebtedness. The most ambitious of these was a "Street Fair" on the fourth floor of Main. We did have a high sense of honor."

In 1915-16 Spot Payne ("17) and a group of students agitated the question of a weekly paper. On February 11, 1916, the first num- ber appeared. It was called "The Agonistic" and continued under that name until April, 1939, when the name was changed to "The Agnes Scott News."

It is interesting the way the name "Agonistic" came to be chosen. A prize of a semester's subscription to the newspaper was offered for the student suggesting the best name and Anne Kyle, '18. won the prize. This is the way it happened:

"One Sunday afternoon while I

was drying my hair I took a small dictionary, went through it word by word and made a list of all the words I thought might be appro- priate as a name for the paper. I then reduced that list to about five or six names and turned that list in for the contest. The word Agonistic (meaning, according to the dictionary, 'pertaining to a sharp mental combat') headed the list. It seemed appropriate as we often spoke of Agnes Scott as 'dear old Agony'."

It was published under this name until 1939 when the name was changed to "The Agnes Scott News." This change took place largely because the name was so often written incorrectly. It was frequently spoken of as "The Ag- nostic." indeed in one of our own annuals the name was so printed. And so it seemed the best thing to change the name.

Branch Will Speak In Friday's Chapel

On Fiiday, May 3, Agnes Scott will have for its chapel speaker, Mr. Harllee Branch, a prominent Atlanta businessman. Mr. Branch will speak on a topic concerning the advantages of a liberal arts education. Having served in the capacity of president of the Geor- gia Power Company, Mr. Branch is now president of the Southern Power Company, and is well known throughout the South as well as in the Atlanta area.

Mr. Branch practiced law in Atlanta for eighteen years. In 1941 he joined the power firm and in June 1949 was elected director of the Southern Company. In 1951 he became president of the Geor- gia Power Company and in Jan- uary 1957 became president of the Southern Company.

Mr. Branch is past president of the Edison Electric Institute which is the largest trade association of its kind in the country. He is now serving as deputy chairman of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank and is a member of the Georgia Nuclear Energy Advisory Commission.

Mr. Branch is at present living in Atlanta and is married to Katherine Hunter, an Agnes Scott alumna.

Inner Conflicts Rock Jordan; Wary U. S. Sends Sixth Fleet

The Middle East, powder keg of the world, seems on the verge of a repeated upheaval, although this time the trouble stems not directly from Israeli-Egyptian sources but from the tiny kingdom of Jordan caught in the midst of internal throes. Last week, the United States, fearing possible inter- vention by Jordan's neighbors

Seminary President To Conduct Senior Baccalaureate Service

Dr. James Archibald Jones, President of Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia, will come to Agnes Scott in June as the guest speaker for the Baccalaureate service. Ordained to the ministry of the Presbyterian Church in the United States in 1935, Dr. Jones assumed his present position at Richmond twenty years later, in 1955.

A graduate of Davidson College, Dr. Jones received his B.D. degree from Union Theological Seminary in 1934. He was elected to the Thomas Cary Johnson Fellowship and received his Th. M. degree in 1935. Dr. Jones also attended New College of the University of Edinburgh in Scotland as a special student.

He returned to his home state of North Carolina in 1935 to be- come minister of the First Pres- byterian Church in Henderson, re- maining there until 1939. From 1939 until 1955 Dr. Jones held the pastorate of the Myers Park Pres- byterian Church in Charlotte. He is the recipient of two honorary degrees, a D. D. and an L. L. D. from Hampden-Sydney and David- son Colleges respectively.

From 1951 through 1954 our speaker served as Chairman of the

dispatched the formidable Sixth Fleet to the eastern Mediterran- ean in hopes of averting a major conflict in this touchy area.

Jordan's young monarch, King Hussein, must contend with two opposing groups within the coun- try, namely the Bedouins, pro- Western, nomadic sheepherders who are loyal to the ruler, and the sophisticated and powerful Pales- tinians who have been swelling the Jordanian population since 1949 when Hussein's grandfather an- nexed part of Palestine itself. In last fall's elections the Palestinian- supported parties won a majority vote and since then Hussein has been beset with clashes between cabinet and army leaders, many of whom cannot tolerate his Bedouin policies.

Furthermore, Hussein has taken a stand against Communist pene- tration in Jordan and has tried to influence Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia to support his views. Of the three countries surrounding Jordan, Saudi Arabia seems most eager to accept Hussein's advan- ces. Egypt and Syria, however, re- main hostile and aloof, apparently waiting for a chance to capitalize on Jordan's factional strife to en- hance their prestige in the Arab world.

A recent issue of "The Man- chester Guardian Weekly" aptly describes the Middle East as the "Balkans of our day" in that the "obscure personal struggles in a small country (like Jordan) are influenced by far wider interna- tional conflicts and may in turn precipitate further conflicts." Pro- Nasser forces look upon Hussein as a threat to their anti-Western policies and would like to see him topple from his already shaky throne. The United States hopes that such a move can be avoided

perhaps through a show of strength such as the Sixth Fleet is calculated to display. An assas- sination of an Austrian archduke set off a global reaction in 1914. The free world fervently hopes that Jordan will not be the ignit- ing spark in 1957.

The Agnes Scoti News an- nounces the addition of seven new reporters to its staff: Lil- lian Hart, Laura Ann Knake, Jane Law, Dian Smith, Ann Scheller, Edith Towers, and Carolyn West.

Mary Beaty Earns Two Study Grants

Mary Beaty, senior, has won recognition in the form of two scholarships for graduate study. The awards include a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and a South- ern Fellowship, both in the field of teacher education. Mary is a Latin major and is from Davidson, North Carolina, where her father is a professor of Latin and Ger- man.

Mary hopes to be able to use both of these awards and will be- gin her studies next year at the University of North Carolina on the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, which is a national honor. After completing next year, she hopes to take advantage of the Southern Fellowship at some southern uni- versity, after which she will prob- ably teach in a southern institu- tion.

Dr. Stukes recommended Mary for these awards; she was inter- viewed on campus and in Atlanta, and received notification of them the first of April.

Rearick Wins Key For Science Work

In the Chi Beta Phi Convoca- tion this morning, Dorothy Rearick was awarded the Chi Beta Phi Key, an award made annually to a senior science major.

The Key was awarded by Dr. Alston and was based on interest in Chi Beta Phi, interest in sci- ence, and scholarship. The recipi- ent of the honor was elected by the Chi Beta Phi members after a nominating committee consist- ing of chairmen of all the science departments at Agnes Scott had submitted nominations.

Dot is a chemistry major and this year has done independent study on quantitative paper chromatography. She has been active in Chi Beta Phi and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Mor- tar Board, Who's Who, and this past year was editor of "The Agnes Scott News."

Dr. William H. Jones, professor of chemistry at Emory University, was guest speaker for the Con- vocation. His topic was "The Ac- celerating Pace of Science."

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS # Wednesday, May 1, 1957

Typed on a three by five card and found at the end of a notice on the bulletin board are these three words: "Think for yourself." Probably without even knowing the context in which they are found, we could attribute such words of sin- cere, wholesome advice to their rightful speaker Dean Stukes. For no three words could be more important or more timely for the average college student, and no other person could have as much interest and consideration for college people as Dr. Stukes.

The three words appear at the end of the notice concerning instructions for Course Selection Week, April 29 through May 4. They relate to the task of securing course cards, mak- ing appointments with professors to plan next year's study, filling out the cards accurately, and finally being prompt in turning in the cards. The faculty and administration have cooperated in making this annual spring task as clear and easy as possible. But the rest is dependent on our own think- ing and acting. It is just one of the responsibilities that we must undertake by ourselves.

Dr. Stukes' advice to think for ourselves may be applied to many facets of our campus life. It is the mature, thoughtful girl who will realize her responsibilities as a member of Blackfriars, as a member of the softball team, or as a leader in her class. The girl who is loyal and conscientious in her personal roles in life is the girl who realizes her responsibili- ties and does something about them.

Not just this week does Dr. Stukes' advice Think for your- self pertain to us but in all phases of our living. L.S.

LIBBY HANSON and Nora King try on spring frocks to be worn this evening at "II Trovatore," which opens the opera series.

New York Metropolitan Opera To Entertain Atlanta Audiences

One of the cultural treats offered to greater Atlanta is the annual visit of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York City. The series includes five operas which provide charm, delight, and entertainment for the audience.

First-nighters dressed in their splendid finery will see the curtain rise on Guiseppe Verdi's

grand opera, "II Trovatore." The opera has a 15th century Romany setting. It is a story of tradgedy and unrequited love. Some of the most beautiful music in the world is heard as the tale of Manrico, the troubadour, and his conflict with Count de Luna unfolds. One of the ironies of the story is the fact that Manrico believes him- self to be a gypsy and a rival of Count de Luna when he discovers in that last act that he is the brother of the Count. Both men love Leonora, the noble lady, but neither succeeds in winning her. Mistaken Identity Thursday night's performance is the popular comic opera, "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart. The composer's intention in writ- ing "Figaro" was to ridicule the aristocracy of his day. In accom- plishing this, he creates a myriad of circumstances in which the characters become involved. After a series of mistaken identities, the proud Count Almaviva, a man with ?, roving eye, becomes the goat of the play and his ser- vants become the heroes. When he attempts to rendezvous with his maid, whom he has refused permission to marry his butler, Figaro, he discovers his wife dressed in the maid's clothes. He admits that he has been fooled and consents to the marriage of Figaro.

"La Traviata," Friday's produc- tion is based on Dumas' "Dame Aux Camelias." Violet t-i, a woman of questionable morals, is loved by Alfred, a gentleman. His father begs her to give him up to avoid family scandal. As time passes, her consumption increases and she is on her death-bed when Alfred returns. The sudden joy is too much, however; she sinks rapidly and after giving Alfred a portrait of herself, she dies in his arms.

Perichole" will be performed in English at the Saturday matinee. La Perichole, a street singer, 'eaves her fiance to become lady- in-waiting to Don Andres' late wife. Since etiquette requires that only a married woman may live in the widower's palace, Don Pedro, governor of Lima, secures her fiance to be her husband. When Paquillo sees Perichole as his wife, he is stunned and, denouncing her for her faithlessness, he throws her at the feet of Don Andres, who orders him to the Dungeon for Recalcitrant Husbands. Perichole enters to rescue him. With the help of another prisoner they free themselves and as they sing in the streets once again they re- ceive the pardon of Don Andres.

Climaxing the week's festivities will be Puccini's "LaBoheme." In this popular opera, in which is found appealing music, Puccini reveals Bohemian life in Paris through the characters of a poet, a musician, a painter, and a philo- sopher. Rudolph, the poet, falls in love with Mimi, a pretty neigh- bor who is afflicted with con- sumption. Later he abandons her because they have quarreled. Mu- sette brings her to the Bohemians' apartment when she is weakened by her disease. Here she and her lover, Rudolph, dream of their past happiness until she dies leaving him broken-hearted at the bedside.

These five presentations will offer a cross-section of the opera- tic art. They should provide a great contribution to the culture of the comfunity.

Classics Fraternity Meets for Banquet

The Agnes Scott chapter of Eta Sigma Phi, national classics fra- ternity, met Friday, April 24, for its annual banquet and election of new officers. Thirteen members and the advisers, Miss Kathryn Glick and Miss Elizabeth Zenn, had a steak supper at Remond's.

After the banquet, elections were held. New officers for next year are: president, Mary Ann McCurdy; vice-president, Barbara Thompson; secretary, Joyce Thom- as; and treasurer, Caroline Dud- ley. Mary Beaty, retiring presi- dent, presented gifts to the ad- visers.

Graduates Receive Master's, Fulbright

Memye Curtis, class of 1956, has recently turned in her thesis for her master's degree at Colum- bia University in the field of Eng- lish drama. One of twenty stu- dents at Columbia who started out to finish her masters work in less than two years, she is the only one who has turned in her paper.

Memye has served as vice-presi- dent of over 500 graduate students at Columbia.

Another recent alumna of Agnes Scott, Katherine Hefner, a grad- uate in 1955, has received one of the two Fulbright Scholarships awarded at the University of Iowa where she has been doing graduate work in art. Katherine will study printmaking in Paris this next year.

Sunkissed Scotties Scamper To Seek Gaity With Greeks

An "after-Easter slump" was certainly not evident last weekend, as Scotties left the campus en masse, complete with newly acquired suntans, for a gay time at neighboring campuses. Inter-fraternity Greek Week at Tech proved the most popular attraction, drawing droves of Scott girls to its many functions. Among the many present at the T-Day game Friday night were Liz Acree, Marion Barry, Lil Hart, Patsy Moss, Nancy Bowers, Jan Lyn Fleming, Lucy Puckett, Ivy Furr, and Anne Corse. Later the same night, Lisa Ambrose, Linda Clark, Julia McNairy, Ann Norton, Jane Prevost, Ann Trotter, Pegge Conine, Mary Anne Fowlkes, Dee Harvley, Janice Jones, Anne Black- shear, and Sheila MacConochie could be spotted among the crowd dancing to the music of Les Brown on the Tech tennis courts.

I.F.C. activities Saturday were every bit as lively, beginning with the Les Brown concert that afternoon. Seen soaking' up bits of this musical culture were Suellen Beverly, Eleanor Lee, Ann Tilley, Wendy Boatwright, Ann Dodd, Annette Teague, Runita McCurdy, Mary Jane Phaff, Helen Hendry, and Carolyn Langston. Les Brown took the spotlight again Saturday night, coming forth with some real dancing music at the formal at the Biltmore, which attracted such Scotties as Beverly Delk, Ann Parker, Boo Florance, Martha Ansley, Linda Jones, Sally Fortson, Nancy Patterson, Frances Johns, Mary Clayton Bryan, Charlotte King, Suzanne Hoskins, Susannah Masten, Sylvia Ray, Susie Baily, Carolyn Mason, Frances Gwinn, Jo Hathaway, Susan Riffe, Caroline Phelan, and Nellie Strickland.

Even with all the festivities at Tech, Emory was not to be outdone, a fact proved by the big times had at the many fraternity parties over the weekend. Martha Ann Williamson, Louise Rigdon, Llewellen Bellamy, Willa Dendy, and Mary Hammond were seen partying at the ATO House, while the Emory Delta Tau Deltas played host to Mary Wilson and Diane Snead. Also over Emory way were Barbara Specht, Anne Whisnant, Kendall Hood, and Susie Ware, guests of the SAE's.

Pine Lake proved to be a very popular resort as the sun tan season reached full swing. Finding no places left on the Inman sun porch, sun worshippers Martha Thomas, Shannon Cumming, Myra Glasure, Gladys Ferguson, Nancy Glasure, and Margie Hill took advantage of the beach at the lake.

Church conferences and retreats have not lost their attraction either, shown by Harriette Lamb, Ethel DuRant, Pris Gainer, and Cemele Miller, who attended the BSU retreat at Rock Eagle and Mary Ann Donnell and Becky Reddick, who represented their alma mater at the MYF conference at Roosevelt State Park.

Journeying to the mountains near Greenville, S.C. for a sporting weekend were Sue Lile, Paggy Edney, and Sallie Meek, while Carolyn Cushman was partying at the Vanderbilt Phi Delt weekend and Sally Fuller was a guest of the Phi Delts at the University of Florida.

Congratulations are in order for Suzanne McMillan and Betty Cobb, proud possessors of newly acquired Beta pins, to JoAnn Beaton with her Delta Sigma Phi pin, and to Lillian Shannonhouse, Sid Howell, and Jody Arbrecht, who are now sporting pins of the Phi Delt variey. Extra special congratulations are extended to Nancy Settle and Blythe Posey for their new diamonds (third finger, left hand kind) and to Ann Gilber, Winkie Sockton, Nancy Bowers, and Carol Pine who are also flashing sparklers.

White House Wardrobes Reveal Rules for Early Cottage Living

In 1889 when Agnes Scott was known as the Decatur Female Seminary, classes met in a white frame house, which stood on the site Main Building occupies today. When Main was built in 1890, this structure was moved to the present site of Hopkins and became known later as the "White House." The house was not a part of the Agnes Scott campus and was ex- cluded from the grounds by a six- foot fence. A Mrs. Tufts bought the house and rented out rooms.

Early in the 1900's a fire burned down one of the cottages and it was necessary for the school to find a new cottage. First it rented the house and later bought it. Miss McKinney and the late Dr. Sweet along with 16 girls moved into the large and spacious house. The house soon was named the "White House" after Miss Louise McKinney, who was attending a costume party at the Candlers' and being unable to decide on what character she represented said she was the "Lady of the White House."

The "White House" was en- larged by the college and a din- ing hall was added. The cook lived in a turret on the roof and the girls and the teachers feared whenever the wind blew she and the turret would fall in on them.

The house served for a good many years but soon was con- demned as unsafe. The structure of the White House remained un- til Hopkins Dormitory was erect- ed on its site.

Even though the White House is gone, the old oaken wardrobes which served as closets can be found in several places on campus. Dr. Calder probably has the most famous one. He calls your atten- tion to it by these words, "Young ladies will conduct themselves ac- cording to the precepts set forth inside the door of the apparatus cabinet in the Optics Lab." Inside this wardrobe is found a yellow, ragged piece of paper, glued on the door. It is entitled: "Informa- tion for Boarding Pupils." It reads: "Neatness of person, of

The President stated: "As you ex- change ideas with your guests from other national unions, you will discover new ways of bringing into our social and cultural life the 35,000 students from other na- tions overseas currently studying in American college. This will pro- mote international understanding and bring us closer to our goal of world peace."

Interested students showld con- tact their Student Body President for information concerning appli- cations, the deadline for which is June 30th. Further details can be obtained from the International Commission, 142 Mt. Auburn St., Cambridge, Massachusetts. The registration fee for delegates is $10.00.

Delegates who are selected to represent their student bodies by their student government at the third COFSA will enjoy a dynamic experience in intellectual exchange and will have a chance to join in the 10th aniversary celebration of USNSA's service to the education- al community and the beginning of a second decade of student leader- ship.

Miller To Reign As May Queen; Pageant Offers Oriental Motif

With the sound of a gong and the mysterious strains of oriental music, the May Day Dell will become the scene of the annual May Day pageant next Saturday at 5:00 p.m. After the crowning of the May Queen, Cemele Miller, in the center of the Dell, the Queen and her court will retire to one side to watch the pageant pre

sented in their honor. The pag- eant, "Nezumi No Yomeiri" or "The Marriage of a Mouse," is a pantomime version of a Japanese fairy tale, adapted for the May Day presentation by Nancy Kim- mel and will star Emiko Takeuchi.

Music and costumes are authen- tic as well as beautiful, according to May Day Chairman Jene Sharp. Emiko obtained some of the music straight from her home- land of Japan. For effect, a gong, wooden sticks, and little drums will be used in the orchestral ac- companiment to give the music a real oriental flavor. The Changs are lending their own costumes for the occasion, and, according to Jene, the costume committee headed by Frances Sattes and Emily Middleton has done a mar- velous job in making the other outfits needed.

In addition to Emiko there will be a large cast to act out the fan- tasy. In important supporting roles are Anne Eyler, Carlanna Lindamood, Louise Rigdon, Fran- ces Patterson, and Marilyn Trib- ble. Miss Eugenie Dozier of the Physical Education Department, which traditionally produces and sponsors the festivities in the May Day Dell, is directing the produc- tion.

All families and friends are cor- dially invited to share in the May Day activities, says Miss Dozier. There is to be no admission charge for members of the college com- munity. For others the charges are 50 cents for adults and 25 cents'' for children.

Mrs. Irene Leftwich Harris at the piano and Mr. John Adams directing the student orchestra will provide the music for the en- tire festival. Mr. Adams, accom- panied by Mrs. Harris, will also play a violin solo, "The Sea in

Springtime," an original Japanese composition which Emiko obtained from Japan.

student Committees In the preparation of the pag- eant itself Miss Dozier said she is receiving valuable assistance from many quarters. Student chairmen of committees are taking care of many details. In addition to those already mentioned, there are Syl- via Ray, music chairman; Nancy Trowell, dance chairman; Grace Chao, who is in charge of wigs; Barbara Duvall and Diane Snead in charge of make up; and Leonice Davis, who looks after the props. Members of other departments have also taken a great interest in the success of the production, according to Miss Dozier. Mr. Michael McDowell of the Music Department helped Sylvia choose the music; Miss Roberta Winter and Miss Judith Kase of the Speech Department gave advice concerning make-up and stage presentation; and in honor of May Day, the Art Department is pre- senting a display of student paint- ing and sculpture on the third floor of Buttrick.

Chemistry Student Receives Fulbright

In the past two weeks, so much excitement has come to Dot Rear- ick, a senior chemistry major, that even she finds it hard to be- lieve. For, not has she received recognition by one award alone, but there have been four different events which have caused her ex- citement.

The most recent of these events is a prize awarded her at the joint meeting of the Georgia Section of the American Chemical Society and the Georgia Academy of Sci- ence held at the University of Georgia last Friday. Dot partici- pated in a program for chemistry students in which two prizes were awarded for the best papers from a school offering graduate courses and a school of only four years. Dot's paper was on quantitative paper chromatography, the sub- ject of her independent study, and she received an award of $25, a membership in the American Chemical Society for one year, and a subscription to a chemical journal.

Another event which is cause for excitement is the notice con- cerning a Fulbright Scholarship which Dot has won to Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Ger- many. She will enter the Univer- sity on September 20 and will study analytical chemistry for ten months.

Last week announcement was made of the Chi Beta Phi Key awarded to Dot. On the same day, word was received of the "Agnes Scott News" first class rating by the Associated Collegiate Press. Dot was editor of the highly-rated paper.

Dot is active on campus as a member of Mortar Board, Phi Beta Kappa, and Who's Who in American Colleges and Universi- ties.

Press Association Judges Newspaper

Word was recently received from the Associated Collegiate Press that the "Agnes Scott News" published during the first semester of 1956-57 has received a first class rating. Judgment was based on papers published from September to January under the editorship of Dorothy Rearick.

Notice of the "News" rating came in the form of a Newspaper Guidebook which "gives in com- pact, comprehensive form an eval- uation of the college publication and a digest of standards and sug- gestions for all publications." The booklet contained scores on all phases of the "Agnes Scott News."

The range of ratings began with Ail-American and ended with fourth class, the lowest rating. Three newspapers in the same group as Agnes Scott received All-American, the only class above first. Thirteen received first class awards.

The papers in each group were compared with each other and standards were based on the newspapers themselves.

At the present time 'he is completing the requirements for a Ph.D. from Yale University. In order to acquaint himself with his new duties as Dean of the Faculty, Mr. Kline has been work- ing closely with Dr. Stukes for the past year.

A graduate of Agnes Scott, Class of 1937, Miss Steele took her M.A. at Columbia University and then returned to her alma mater as secretary to Dr. McCain. While a student here she was editor of the "Agnes Scott News'" and a member of Mortar Board- She has served as Assistant Re- gistrar for a number of years and was made Director of Admis- sions shortly after Dr. Alston be- came president of the college. Miss Steele has been active in admissions work and represents Agnes Scott on the College En- trance Examination Board.

Carpenter Wins Scholarship For Outstanding Achievement

Recognizing the qualities of scholarship and leadership, Dr. Alston this morning in Convoca- tion awarded Diana Carpenter, a junior, the annual Houghton Scholarship. The scholarship amounts to $400 a year and comes from a $10,000 gift from the late Professor M. E. Sentelle of David- son College.

Professor Sentelle taught phil- osophy at Davidson. He was a bachelor and lived a simple life, saving what he could to promote fine scholarship. Toward the end of his lifetime he presented to both Davidson and Agnes Scott a gift of $10,000, of which an award was to be given annually to a junior showing qualities of schol- arship and leadership. The schol- arship is named in honor of Pro- fessor Sentelle's sister, Janice Sentelle Houghton, and was first awarded at Agnes Scott in 1946.

Diana is an honor student from

Charlotte, North Carolina, a mem- ber of Mortar Board, and newly

elected Chairman of .Lecture Asso- ciation.

Also recognized in Convocation this morning by Dr. Alston were faculty members who will be on leave next year and those mem- bers who will be added to next year's faculty. More detailed an- nouncement of these changes will be made in the commencement issue of the "Agnes Scott News."

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, May 8, 1957

"I find the great thing in this world is, not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving." This quotation comes from the great German philosopher Goethe and ap- pears to be quite applicable at this time. For within this issue of the " Agnes Scott News" we have stcries of attainments and recognition which illustrate the direction in which at least four members of the Agnes Scott Community are moving.

The movement of Mr. C. Benton Kline into the position of Dean of the Faculty is a move which has been accepted with great enthusiasm by the entire community. It is difficult to have to follow such a man as Dr. Stukes, but because of the great respect and regard Mr. Kline has won at Agnes Scott, we are confident of his capabilities and success in his new role.

Miss Steele has filled her position as Director of Admissions with the diligence and interest necessary for such a job. Her new title of Registrar is the natural result of her work and is an acknowledgement of the loyalty and consideration she has shown for the college.

Achievements of two students have also been recognized in this issue. The Houghton Scholarship was awarded Diana Carpenter for scholarship and leadership. Dorothy Rearick has received a Fulbright Scholarship for attainments in her study of chemistry. Interest and aspiration have provided a "direction" toward which these girls are moving.

The "Agnes Scott News" congratulates these four for the attainments and honors which they have won in their respec- tive roles. L.S.

All Work and No Play?

"Archery free shoot on the hockey field". . ."Plunge period 4 - 5". . "Softball game today." Every week throughout the year the physical education department offers warm invita- tions to participate in any of its variety of activities; but, un- like the familiar cry "One for bridge," these invitations are often repeatedly declined by numbers of students.

While almost all sports on campus have some faithful fans, and annual performances such as May Day and the Dolphin Club pageant are always greeted by large and enthusiastic audiences, many students never avail themselves of the op- portunity of participation in the activities offered, resulting, at times, in a rather poor turnout. As the physical education department is conducting a survey to determine the effective- ness of the existing program, the students might do well to consider whether they are taking full advantage of current opportunities, and if not, why.

Lack of skill, lack of time, and frank lack of interest could immediately be cited as possible reasons reasons which could be changed with beneficial effects. For many of the activities, skill is no prerequisite, and sometimes no requisite at all, as not infrequently the unskilled participants seemingly derive as much pleasure as the experts, and participation offers an opportunity for development and improvement. While few students here complain of surplus time, and such activities are undeniably time-consuming, certainly it is time well-spent in the light of enjoyment, relaxation, and new associations.

For all those who can overcome the first two objections and go out for a sport, the third complaint often has a way of tak- ing care of itself, as, having given it a try, many students are amazed to discover that they actually enjoy developing Agnes Scott's third ideal. M.M.

'Ban The Bomb' Cries Russia

Pre** Scri u As U N Seeks Disarmament

Now that spring is finally here and the sun is shining, this thought suggested by The Hornet must pass through the teachers' minds:

"Oh, give us the man who Sings at his work." Carlyle.

"Oh, give us the man who Does his work." Teacher.

In The Red and Black the stu- dents' thoughts are reflected: "We Wonder . . . When students will ever get the time to read all those books they're required to buy."

For the lucky seniors who are contemplating jobs after gradua- tion, The Scandle Sheet makes this forecast:

Employer: "Okay, I'll give you a job. Take this broom and sweep out."

Applicant: "But I just graduat- ed from college."

Employer: "Okay, I'll show you how!"

Ever since 1949 when the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb, the West has been profoundly interested in working towards international control of the deadly weapons. Russia also has ventured an apparent willingness to lessen the threat of nuclear warfare. However, whenever actual disarmament talks have been ar-

ranged, Soviet representatives have never given any guarantee, suitable to the West, that their "soft" words will be translated in- to like deeds.

At a recent meeting of the UN Disarmament Subcommittee in London, the same drama was re- peated once again, only this time the Russian cry of "ban the bomb" seemed to be backed by a more conciliatory attitude toward such Western proposals as aerial in- spection and establishment of con- trol ports at strategic points. Al- though such gains are undoubted- ly limited ones, nevertheless a con- structive start, no matter how- small, might lead to future agree- ment of sizeable consequences.

testing, especially where radioac- tive "fall-outs" are involved. Re- cently, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, in a broadcast to fifty nations, dra- matically warned that radiation from nuclear explosions "repre- sented a danger to the human race . . . and the further explosions of atomic bombs will increase this danger to an alarming extent." This statement was immediatedly repudiated by several leading atomic scientists, but that there are certain testing hazards in- volved cannot be denied, and it is impossible to predict the ultimate outcome of these accumulated ex- plosions.

Singing Seniors Star in New Libretto of 'Hansel and Gretel'

The La Scotta Opera Company, composed of members of the senior class, will present "Babes in the Woods," a comic opera adapted from "Hansel and Gretel," May 11 at 8:00 p.m. in Presser Hall.

After much diligent research in the archives of the past and in the files of "Confidential

Magazine," the directors of the company can assure us that they are presenting the story of Hansel and Gretel in its original, unadul- terated form. Hansel and Gretel, they discovered, are in reality the children of rival broom manufac- turers in a small hamlet in Ger- many. By coincidence their par- ents develop the same plan for cornering the broom market: the selling of 'brooms to witches. Han- sel and Gretel, sent to persuade the witches to sign contracts, meet accidentally in the woods. From then on adventures come to them in fast and furious succession and include the dodging of guardian angels, a fierce battle with a witch, and a love interest story. No escapade is omitted by La Scotta.

The company has incorporated music of the highest order into its production. The numbers to be heard include the "Soldiers' Cho- rus" from "Faust," "You Did It" from "My Fair Lady," and "My Gallant Crew" from "H.M.S. Pina- fore." The skilled musicians of the company have, of course, adapted the works and, have given them such titles as the Vamp Aria.

A number of celebrated singers are starring in "Hansel and Gretel." Martha Riggins is ap- pearing as Herr Anheuser and Dannie Reynolds as Herr Busch. Margie DeFord plays the role of Hansel and Sara Townsend that of Gretel. Frazer Waters takes the

part of the witch. The stars of the show are being supported by a chorus made up of members of the senior class.

A large crew is working behind the scenes to make the production a success. Carolyn Herman and Virginia Ann Redhead are over-all chairmen. Libby Bond is in charge of art and Jackie Rountree of pro- grams. Margie Hill heads N the ticket committee, Jinky Ferris the publicity, and Helen Sewell the dance. Costuming is being direct- ed by Fran Patterson and mimeo- graphing by Mollie Merrick. Vir- ginia Anne Redhead, Margie De- Ford, and Carolyn Herman are ar- ranging the music, while the script is being written by Kit Crosby, Jean Hodgens, Nellie Strickland, Catherine Girardeau, Libby Bond, Martha Riggins, Dannie Reynolds, Dot Rearick, Margie DeFord, Ca- rolyn Herman, and Virginia Anne Redhead.

"Hansel and Gretel" is by no means the first production of its kind to be staged at Agnes Scott, as it has long been the custom for members of the senior class to present an opera in the spring. "Here's A Pretty Mess," a com- bination of the works of Shake- speare and of Gilbert and Sullivan, regaled the campus last year. "Der Rural Mural" was the big senior class production in 1955.

Tickets for "Hansel and Gretel" will be on sale at a price of fifty cents.

jCetter Do Editor ^ nternat ' ona ^Y Speaking .

"Often a retrospect delights the mind" has said Dante. How true that is when we recall with delight the outstanding events of the past year. In looking back over the productions with their coloful and entertaining features, we remember the laughter with which we viewed the skits, the vividness of the settings, and the talent of the performers. These are the things that remain highlights in our minds the things which we openly praise and compliment.

But hidden behind those external, obvious aspects, lie hours and hours of tedious planning and preparation. These are the things we tend to overlook in retrospection. We neglect to praise the girls who had a hand in writing the skit or scenario. We forget the girls who have spent hours work- ing over costumes. And we tend to think that the setting became beautiful of its own accord! Our appreciation often goes no deeper than for that which is on the surface.

The strength and guiding force of a production such as May Day are those people who are willing to work long and hard in the background. They are the people who give hours of time to making a thing successful and who receive very little recognition. Not only in entertainment productions such as May Day or Black Cat but in other campus activities such as Orientation Committee is there a whole force working to- ward the end result. These are the girls who deserve as much appreciation as any performer or chairman. L.S.

'Til just have to wait until after breakfast tomorrow to study my English; no time now!" How often have we heard similar ideas expressed in various forms. How often have we ourselves put off doing things and then at the last minute have had to do them in a careless manner.

Especially in the spring do we become slip-shod about school work. There are too many other activities now, we say, and something must go. Our academic life is retarded while our social life spins more rapidly.

Or maybe the problem is that we don't have the interest now in school work that we had in September when we re- turned, so eager and ready to seek knowledge. We are almost to the end, so why not play and forget our studies? After all, we worked hard fall quarter and winter quarter yes, and even part of spring quarter. Vacation time is almost here so we'll begin to get in the swing of that easy life right now.

But are these the attitudes that mature, responsible, and conscientious students should hold? Perhaps it is close to the end and we need a vacation. But school is not over yet. There is much to be gained in the two weeks that we have left in this session. In every single day there is something of value that we can learn, if we seek it. There is much for which to strive in these closing days of this school year. Let each girl, therefore, apply herself in her academic work, searching diligently for all that is beneficial to a richer life. H.T.K.

'Silhouette's' Editor Expresses Regret

You know, some people have it easy. Take for instance, a Glee Club director. They don't have any trouble deciding who should be in the club, because a note is either sharp or flat or just right and that's all there is to it. Or a basketball coach has an equally simple job: the girl who puts the ball through the net the most times gets to play on the team. But annual editors well, that's a different story. Who ever heard of annual tryouts? There's no one certain way to write copy; there's no one certain way to draw up a page; there's no one certain way to know who will be a hard worker. What can a poor editor do when 92 people want to work on an annual and she can't have a staff but about one-third that size?

I guess all I'm really looking for is sympathy. I especially want sympathy from the students who said they were interested in an- nual work but whom we didn't put on the staff. I hope they can un- derstand that we did our best. I mean, after all, working under the limited conditions of being without a good crystal ball, how could we possibly know who would be good on the 1958 "Silhouette" staff? We may have passed up a perfect gem of a worker and we'll never know it. Think of all the mistakes we may have made, and feel sorry for us. We would have loved to have used all 92 persons (then maybe those 92 would have been happy although the rest of the student body wouldn't have been when they received an annual done under those rather "crowded" circumstances.)

The field was narrowed a little when a lot of the freshmen who had signed the first list never came to the Silhouette room as the second announcement request- ed. We figured perhaps they were not quite as interested. A lot of factors entered into narrowing the field still further, and we ended up with people whom we think are capable, really interested, and not too loaded down with other extra- curricular activities.

Thanks to everyone who showed their interest in the 1958 "Sil- houette." It makes us feel the student body is behind the annual and is interested in it. Keep on backing us and we'll try to have a good annual come spring of 1958.

Unity Marks European Efforts To Recapture Former Prestige

During the half-century preceding the first World War, Europe was perhaps at the height of her power. London and Paris reigned as the economic capitals of the world. The Bri- tish Empire spanned the globe, while England's navy could boast of no near rivals on the sea. Germaiiy had begun to flex her industrial muscles and

nations marveled at her increasing might. To the west, America was still regarded as a "youngster" by the Great Powers, her latent re- sources as yet barely exploited. To the east, the Russian giant dozed in a medieval slumber, scarcely touched by the Industrial Revolution.

Two major world conflicts plus a continuing "cold war" have al- tered this former picture to an enormous extent. The Soviet "grab" in Eastern Europe and Asia; the breakdown of the French and British colonial monopolies; the unheralded rise of such "up- starts" as Nasser, Nehru, Saud all these developments have dem- onstrated to the world in a sud-

crippled both economically and politically is the Europe of today. Eden's "aggressive" action at the time of the Suez crisis seemed to many observers a rash move which had an aura of hopeless despera- tion about it.

But if the Suez affair has dim- inished Europe's prestige even further in the eyes of other na- tions, it has possibly had a para- doxically strengthening effect on Europe herself. The months fol- lowing the British and French "international faux pas" have wit- nessed several events take place which seem to have a heartening, realistic note about them. A con- crete example is the creation of a European Atomic Energy Com-

denly shocking manner just how muniiy (Euratom) which is being

established by France, Belgium, Italy, West Germany, the Nether- lands, and Luxembourg for the common development and use of atomic power. Euromarket, a tar- iff-free trade area, is also under consideration by these same na- tions.

Summer Vacation Plans Show Students 7 Love for Wanderlust

Good afternoon. May I help you plan a summer trip or place you in a summer job? This agency really goes places and does things. North! South! East! West! Maybe a little excursion abroad? Just what would you like? Oh! You have not decided. Well, that is no problem at all. Let me give you a preview of some of the small scale migrations that are going to take place this summer.

On the express, triumphantly invading the North, will be found many charming southern belles. Some are going as far north as the wilderness of Canada. Up To- ronto way at the Big Win Inn emigres Mary Dunn, Ann Self, Eunice Simons, Suzie Bailey, and Marian Walton are to be located for the summer. Their occupation, you ask? These dashing young la- dies are to be waitresses. If this is too far north for you, there is New England. There are many re- sorts there where you could go.

Mountains or Shore? Tweety Trammell, Edith Towers, and Beverley Rippard, believing in the safety of numbers, are go- ing to the Balsons Hotel in Dix- ville Notch, New Hampshire. These ramblers are also hoping that the tips will be good. Courageously, Patti Forrest is going all by her little self to a strange part of the country the Long Island Sound region of Connecticut to table hop at the Shelden House for the summer. But wait here is a job that might interest you working in q resort post office. Peggy Bradford has nailed down this job. It is at the Pocono Lake Pre- serve in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. While Peggy is cool as a cucumber in the mountains, just two hours away in New York City will be Elizabeth Acree, at least during the last part of June. She is our gal who will be taking in all of the musicals on Broad- way. Envy her?

Then in the Southland you will find many things to do and places to see. Nancy Holland is going to spend the summer in Wilmington, North Carolina. Her job is quite a catch adviser for the college fashions in the Belks Department Store there. Or if you are musical- ly inclined, maybe Ann Eyler can solve your problem. She is study- ing piano and voice at the "sum-

mer conservatory" at Sullins Col lege in Bristol, Tennessee. Or maybe you are more of a trail blazer. Camps are your answer.

Moving westward into the land of the sky blue waters, Michigan, Gretchen Elliot will make a cute lab assistant in the hospital at Alma. Oh, you are not so inclined? Well, perhaps this will suit you better. Sally Smith is putting on her boots and spurs and turning cowgirl this summer. Out in Estes National Park in Colorado, Jingles Sal hopes to be a receptionist. On a little farther Randy Norton and Mary Ruth Watson will be hitting the trail for Yellowstone National Park. One of these buckaroos will clerk in a store while the other will turn domestic. If California is your aim, that can be arranged, too. Sue Lile and Nancy Grayson are wandering, they hope, to Berkeley to attend the Pacific School of Religion for six weeks. But it is not all work and no play.

"Call of The Wild" There will be time for being tour- ist in San Francisco. I believe that this about does our western front. No! Wait a minute! There is another group who are evidently heeding "the call of the wild." They are making a grand tour of the fair West and hope to hop up to Canada and back down to Yel- lowstone, touring as long as their money lasts. These unique drifters are Nancy Edwards, Hazel Ellis, Caro McDonald, and Frances Gwinn. In their '57 Chevie they plan to drift, camping and cook- ing out along the way. They leave this one plea, "If anyone lives out in this direction please let us

Orchestra Reveals New Concert Plans

The Atlanta Symphony Orches- tra has announced that its 1957-58 Subscription Series will be pre- sented at the Tower Theater in- stead of the Municipal Auditor- ium. To alleviate the seating prob- lem at the smaller location, each concert will be given at two dif- ferent times, series A and B.

Series A will be primarily a Thursday series with concerts on eight Thursdays, two Wednesdays, and one Friday. Series B will be primarily a Friday series, with concerts on eight Fridays, two Thursdays, and a Saturday. The pairs of concerts will occur at a regular interval of every two weeks throughout the symphony season, October to March.

A special appeal is being made for students this next season in that balcony seats are being re- served for the eleven concerts for $6.00 and $8.00.

The schedule of concerts, which begins October 25 and ends March 28, is as follows: Jennie Tourel, a mezzo-soprano; Leonard Pennario, pianist; Albert Bolet, guest con- ductor for the Symphony; "First Chair Atlanta Symphony," fea- turing soloists who occupy "first chair" positions; Arthur Fielder, guest conducted, well known as conductor of the Boston Pops Or- chestra; Lisa Delia Casa, soprano; Thomas Brockman, pianist; Yehudi Menuhin, violinist; Whittemore and Lowe, duo-pianists; Gina Bachauer, pianist; and a concert with the Atlanta Symphony and chorus.

know. A good meal would be nice for a change."

So you want to get away from it all. Well, join our globe trot- ters. Louise Law, Rebecca Fewell, and Kay Lamb plan to drop in on Princess Grace during one of their dull nights at Monte Carlo. Pinkie McCall is doing our hop, skip, and jump tour of Europe more time to spend in Scotland. But during her hop Pinkie hopes to meet Sis Burns in Germany. Sis will be a footloose and fancy-free vagabond letting wanderlust be her guide. But to some of our globe trotters relations will be waiting for them. For Dieneke Nieuwenhuis, Holland will be her summer home, while Germany will be home to Nancy Settle.

Have you made up your mind? Oh! You think that you will just stay at home. Very well. But a BON VOYAGE to all you travelers and to all a good afternoon.

Dooley's, Senior Opera Offer HottentotsDelightfulWeekend

By Ann Norton Despite rainy weather, which Invaded the campus and surrounding area, fun-pursuing Scotties had a gay and entertaining weekend. Among the most exciting of the diversions were the many guests on campus, Dooley's Frolics at Emory, house parties at Tech, retreats, and picnics, not to mention just plain ol' "horsing around." Although May Day was postponed, Senior Opera was a huge success and drew quite a crowd. The campus was overflowing with many guests, and seen entertaining some of the 94 guests on campus for dinner Saturday night were Mary Jane Pickens, Eileene Johnson, Lil Hart, Judy Sawyer, Martha Meyer, and Margaret Woolfolk.

Dooley's Frolics drew a large number of Scotties to witness the rousing of Dooley Friday night and his burial at midnight Saturday, not to mention the music of Buddy Morrow. Among those who at- tended the various functions of the weekend were Betty Garrard, Rosalind Johnson, Marianne Gillis, Dee I la r\ ley, Sara Lu Persinger, Patsy Rhoden, Mary Anne Fow Ikes, Anne Rivers Paine, Carol Prom- nitz, Betty Cobb, Ethel Durant, India Clark, Curt Swords, Carole Rogers, Jean Salter, Anita Sheldon, Nora Ann Simpson, Helen Smith, Caro Spann, Linda Ingram, Llewellyn Bellamy, Roxanna Speight, Willa Dendy, Betsy Roberts, Maria Harris, Susan Hogg, Kay Fuller, Barbara Duvall, and Marcia Tobey. The North Avenuers picked Rock Eagle for their weekend retreat, and took along Susanne Robinson, Beverly Delk, Carolyn Hazard, Susannah Masten, Sybil Strupe, Pat Lenhardt, Peggy Edney, Sallie Meek, June Riddle, Sally Smith, Peggy Fanson, and Eleanor Lee.

The weather certainly did not spoil the fun of the Phi Delts at Tech, for they journeyed all the way to Saint Simon's Island for their an- nual house party, and we hear from Dana Hundley, who returned with a scrumptious tan, that it was quite a weekend.

Jane Kraemer had a good report to make about the Beta house party at Lake Burton. Pat Gover was also along on this Tech party. High Hampton Inn in North Carolina was the scene of another Engineer's house party. The SAE's got out of the Atlanta weather and entertained Judy George, Sara Margaret Heard, Ann Harvey, Betty Ellis, and Jane Matthews. Not to be outdone, the Kappa Sigs chose Lake Winfield Scott at Vogel State Park, and Corky Feagin, Libby Hanson, Renee Shenk, and Peg Elliott added that Scott spice to the weekend.

Barbara Specht is the girl to see about such faraway places as Dur- ham, North Carolina, for she went up to the Duke Spring Formal; Caroline Dudley journeyed to Raleigh for the Sigma Chi Sweetheart Ball at State.

Several Scotties took advantage of the fact that it is spring, after all, and enjoyed picnicing and swimming. Mary Dunn, Jorie Muller, Penny Smith, Katherine Jo Freeman, and Martha McCoy went to Pine Lake for swimming. Seen at Allatoona at various times over the weekend were Mary Jo Cowart, Lang Sydnor, Jean Salter, Mar- garet Minter, and Kay Weber. Blanche Helm went on the Tech Navy ROTC picnic this weekend, and Nancy Settle and Rae Carole Hosack were picnicing in Piedmont Park. On a little different note, we know that Nancy Graves had lots of fun ice-skating at Lakewood this week- end.

In addition to the many attractions outside of Atlanta, many Scotties enjoyed local entertainments. Drama Tech, always popular, drew Nancy C hristian, Ruth Currie, Mary Dunn, Linda Dancy.

A Dogpateh party was quite a success at the Sigma Chi House Saturday night at Tech. Among the Li'l Abner's and Daisy Mae's were Tomi Lewis, Nancy Trowell, Ann Tilly, Kay Weber, Jennie Grace Walker, Gretchen Elliott, Mary C layton Bryan and Carolyn West.

A House dance at the ZIP house at Emory was reported to the first class entertainment by ,Lyn Frederick, Audrey Johnson, Carolyn Ma- son, Eve Purdom, Anne McWhorter, Martha Davis, and Lib Geiger.

June Hall, Ellen McFarland, Camille Strickland, Kay Richards, Katherine Hawkins, Liz Shumaker, Sara Anne Carey, Linda Dancy, and Jill DeBardeleben all went to a tea at the ATO house at Tech Sunday afternoon.

Another wearer of the diamond was added to the ranks over the weekend. Congratulations, Rae Carole Hosack!

Government, and Social Council will be here to welcome them.

Handbook classes will be held in the mornings. The Social Coun- cil will present their traditional fashion show and will include in it information that will show the students many phases of college life. CA is planning a party for September 13, and the Scott-Tech picnic wil be given the following evening.

Nancy Holland says that the council is striving to have a uni- que orientation program. In spite of the numerous festivities plan- ned for the incoming freshman class, the success of Orientation depends upon the teams of junior sponsors and sophomore helpers.

A retreat is scheduled for this afternoon, May 15, to give these sponsors and helpers an opportun- ity to discover just what their jobs

The purpose of the re- treat is to unite all junior spon- sors and sophomore helpers in one goal, to make each freshman feel welcome from the first day, and to draw her into Agnes Scott life throughout the entire year.

Debating Fraternity Develops From Early Literary Groups

This morning's presentation of the newly -established Hayes Trophy draws attention to one of the school's oldest extra- curricular activities, for debating has been a part of Agnes Scott life for almost fifty years. Sponsored by the Mnemosy- nean and the Propylean literary societies, debating, which developed around 1910, was con-

fined to inter-society debates un- til 1914 when an Agnes Scott team journeyed to New Orleans to oppose a team from Sophie Newcomb in "the first debate be- tween women's colleges in the South."

"That sounds very unexciting in the telling, yet from my vantage point in the list of those present it still seems a glamorous and im- portant occasion," relates Emma (Jones) Smith, member of the Ag- nes Scott team. "Dr. Armistead was our chaperon and treated us with such gallantry that we wouldn't have changed places with Alice Roosevelt or Ethel Barry- more. The Newcomb girls felt that we took an unfair advantage of the judges because we wore eve- ning dresses, whereas they march- ed forth to battle clad in sensible white skirts and shirtwaists." Snake Dance

Interest and enthusiasm back at the school was at a high pitch, and "when the news of our vic- tory (it was a unanimous decision on the part of the judges) reached the college, it is told that the stu- dent body got out of it's collective bed and snake-danced over the campus singing 'These bones goin' to rise again' with Dr. Gaines lean- ing out of his window and adding a modest and dignified 'hurrah' in a moment of silence. That hur- rah produced as great an effect as our victory, I think."

Thorough training was given the teams by Mr. J. D. M. Armistead, head of the English Department until his death in 1923, when Miss Cleo Hearon, head of the History Department, took charge of the debating activities until her death in 1928.

1921 brought several innova- tions in debating at Agnes Scott. In that year, Pi Alpha Phi debat- ing socoety was formed, and the triangular debates with Randolph- Macon and Sophie Newcomb were inaugurated. Under this arrange-

ment, which continued more or less irregularly until 1931, the question was simultaneously de- bated by the opposing teams at each of the three schools as the students waited anxiously for the results to be relayed by telegraph.

In 1946 Agnes Scott served as the first hostess for the newly-in- augurated All-Southern Debate Tournament. Teams have also par- ticipated in the West Georgia Tournament, Georgia State Tour- naments, Carolina Forensics, Aza- lea Tournament, Grand Eastern Debate Tournaments, and the Grand National Tournaments. Debate With Cambridge In previous years Pi Alpha Phi has opposed teams from England, Ireland, and Australia, and in 1956 Agnes Scott was the only woman's college in the country to have the privilege of debating the Cam- bridge University team. Last spring Pi Alpha Phi presented the college with a new trophy case, placed on the landing between the first and second floors of Buttrick Hall, which currently contains trophies and first-place certifi- cates won in the past two years.

While Agnes Scott teams have often considered questions of great national and international import- ance such as the guaranteed an- nual wage and diplomatic recogni- tion of Red China, they have also engaged in humorous debates with teams from Georgia Tech on such subjects as "Resolved: That Tech Men Are Lousy Dates," while in- terclub debates have concerned such questions as "Resolved: That Agnes Scott Girls Should Wear Uniforms."

This column points with pride to an excerpt from an editorial in Mary Baldwin's "Campus Com- ments." This editorial was written on the discontent and controversy over their non-drinking policy. The editorial read:

"Agnes Scott, our other Pres- byterian School, is known to have a stricter drinking prohibition than we do. Agnes Scott is one of the highest academic institutions for women in the land, and Agnes Scott has some 400 happy stu- dents; we barely have 300 and they're unhappy."

Here are some "words of wis- dom" from "The Belles" of St. Mary's in Raleigh:

"We are not perfect, but we come reasonably close to organ- ized confusion."

"All of us make footprints on the sands of time. Some leave the impression of a great soul others just the mark of a heel."

Organizations Plan Community Supper

Christian Association, Athletic Association, Student Government, and Social Counc:! are jointly planning a picnic supper for the entire college community to be held Saturday, May 25.

Instead of the usual olf-campus picnic held each spring, it was felt that more students would be able to participate if the event were held here at the college. The day will include games in the af- ternoon, sponsored by AA, a pic- nic supper at 5:30. and vespers in the May Day Del) at 6:30, spon- sored by CA.

Everyone is urged to take ad- vantage of the recreation which will be available all during the afternoon.

Committee To Plan Fine Arts Festival

At the last Student Meeting of the year, May 23, members of the student body heard the pro- posal of a Fine Arts Festival to be held in the spring of next year. A panel consisting of Martha Meyer, Nancy Kimmell, Sue Lile, and Randy Norton presented the suggestion and then opened the floor for questions and discussion.

The idea of the Festival, as the student body was told, would be to combine all of the talents and work of the fine arts groups into one large weekend in order to alleviate the rush and consequent mediocre productions of the groups performing on separate dates. The weekend which would probably in- continued on Page 8)

Music Professors Play in Duo-Recital

The duo-piano concert which Mr. Michael McDowell and Mrs. Irene Leftwich Harris presented in Gaines Chapel last Saturday evening was one of the highlights of the commencement week end.

The repertoire included two selections which were originally written for duo pianos, "Sonata in D for two pianos" by Mozart and "Variations on a Theme by Hayden" by Brahms. The remain- ing numbers, "Serenade" by Rich- ard Strauss, "The Lark" by Glin- ka, and "Blue Danube Waltz" by Johann Strauss, have been espe- cially arranged for two-piano per- formances.

This year Mr. McDowell and Mrs. Harris have played for the Atlanta Music Club Salon Series and the Macon Music Club. Mr. Albert J. Kirkpatrick of Wesleyan expressed his approval of their Macon performance by praising their "unanimity of musical ap- proach" and their "degree of pre- (Continued on Page 8)

Stukes Retires From Position As Faculty Dean After Forty-Four Years of Service to College

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wis- dom to know the difference." This is the motto of a man who will long be remembered and loved by those who have known him here at Agnes Scott. Now, at the time of his retirement, the college pays tribute to Dean

Dr. Stukes has for the past forty-four years been a guiding light to all who have known him during his career at the college. This career has been one of com- plete devotion to the school, the ideals for which it stands, and the student body. The two most out- standing qualities of Dr. Stukes, aside from his fine Christian character, are his emphasis on the standards of high academic quality and ideals and his warmth and interest in students.

Samuel Guerry Stukes was born in Manning, South Carolina, on October 1, 1887. Receiving his B.A. degree from Davidson Col- lege in 1908, Mr. Stukes went to Princeton University for postgrad- uate work. He planned to go into the Presbyterian ministry. Prince-

ton granted him the Master of Arts degree in 1910 and, in 1911 and 1912, Mr. Stukes was working at the First Presbyterian Church of Chattanooga, Tennessee, as an as- sistant in the capacity of Director of Religious Education. He receiv- ed his Bachelor of Divinity degree from Princeton in 1913.

Shortly after receiving his B.D. degree, Mr. Stukes came to Ag- nes Scott at the request of the president, Dr. Frank S. Gaines. He taught education and philo- sophy. His duties here were in- terrupted by World War I, when he served in the air force. During the years that followed his return he was made Professor of Psychol- ogy, Registrar of the college, and Dean of the Faculty. Though it is not an official position, Dr. Stukes has made one of his most important and effective contribu-

tions to the college as a "counselor of students, back-patter, sounding- board, and giver of loving advice."

Dr. Stukes also has had many interests outside the college. He is an active civic worker in Decatur, has taught the Men's Bible Class at the Decatur Presbyterian Church for the past sixteen years, and is one of Alcoholics Anony- mous' most frequent guest speak- ers. He has worked with this (Continued on Page 7)

President Honors 'Stukes Scholars'

President Wallace M. Alston presented the annually award- ed honors and prizes at Agnes Scott College's 68th Com- mencement exercises held this morning in Gaines Chapel.

The three students ranking first academically in the rising sophomore, junior, and senior classes are to be designated as "Stukes Scholars," in recognition "

of Dean Samuel Guerry Stukes' distinctive service to the College. On the basis of work done during the 1956-57 session, the first Stukes Scholars are Diana Kay Carpenter, a junior from Char- lotte, North Carolina; Wardie Abernethy, a sophomore also from Charlotte; and Martha Gill- reth Thomas, a freshman from Asheville, North Carolina.

Diana Carpenter is also the re- cipient of the Jennie Sentelle Houghton Scholarship. An English major, Diana was elected Presi- dent of Lecture Association and member of Mortar Board during spring quarter. The scholarship was made possible by a fund established by Dr. M. E. Sentelle of Davidson, North Carolina. The income is awarded each year by a committee of the administration to a student of outstanding char- acter, personality, intellectual ability, and scholarship.

Eve Kirkland Purdom of Guil- ford College, North Carolina, was awarded the Rich prize of $50 for distinctive academic work in the freshman class.

The Presser scholarships in music, given by the Presser Foun- dation of Philadelphia, were awarded to Gertrude Ann Florrid of Atlanta, Georgia, and to Char- lottee Crosby Henderson of Mor- ristown, Tennessee. Both girls are sophomores.

For the second year the Laura Candler Prize in mathematics was

Rearick Graduates With Highest Honor

Dorothy Ann Rearick of Miami Shores, Florida, was graduated with high honor at the Commence- ment exercises this morning, and eleven seniors graduated with honor. Based on a four-year rec- ord, this rating is the highest honor to be bestowed at Commencement.

Those graduating with honor are:

Elizabeth Trice Ansley, Decatur, Georgia; Mary Davis Beaty, Dav- idson, North Carolina; Byrd Hoge Bryan, Pearisburg, Virginia; Cath- arine Allen Crosby, Bradenton, Florida; Carolyn Isabel Herman, LaGrange, Georgia; Virginia Tres- sel Keller, Pittsburgh, Pennsyl- vania; Ann Carter Lane, Clemson, South Carolina; Mary Ashford Oates, Fayetteville, North Caro- lina; Jean Donaldson Pervis, At- lanta, Georgia; Virginia Anne Redhead, Greensboro, North Caro- lina; and Frazer Steele Waters, Decatur, Georgia.

received by Catharine Allen Cros- by, a senior from Bradenton, Florida. The prize is given by Mrs. Nellie Candler of Decatur to the upper classman making the highest average in mathematics for the school session.

Mildred Rutherford Lane, a junior from Clemson, South Caro- lina, was awarded the Speech Scholarship for having made the most distinctive record in speech the 1956-57 session. This is the second year Mildred has received the scholarship.

Eminent Educators Address Graduates

The graduating class of 1957 had for their Commencement and Baccalaureate speakers two of the outstanding educators of our time.

The Commencement speaker was Dr. Lynn Townsend White, Jr., nationally known editor, author, and president of Mills College in Oakland, California. At the Com- mencement service held at 10:00 o'clock this morning in Gaines Chapel, Dr. White spoke on "A, Temperature of Thine Own," a; phrase found in Herman Melville's "Moby Dick."

"You who are women, and es- pecially college women, are more fortunate. Our society is much more doubtful about you than it is about your brothers. We don't quite know what we mean by 'success' for a woman. Thanks to the older -feminism and the newer technology, you can now do prac- tically anything a man can do, if you want to, and if you are four times brighter than most men. You can even be ordained into the clergy of some of our most respect- able churches! On the other hand it is still socially permissible for you to do all the fine old female things which the feminists disliked so thoroughly. In other words, you face a range of options which really compels you, as few men are ever compelled, to ask 'Who am I, and what is my destiny?' America offers you no automatic escape from the reality of your soul by a stereotype of womanly 'success.' You must think and choose as few men ever naive to think and choose."

At the 11:00 o'clock Baccalau- reate service Sunday morning, June 2, the graduating seniors, their families and guests, and the Agnes Scott community heard as guest speaker Dr. James Archibald Jones, president of Union Theo- logical Seminary in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Jones, an ordained Presbyterian minister, is the fath- er of Mary Jones, a 1957 graduate.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Monday, June 3, 1957

At the close of every school year we reminisce over the events that have meant most to us during the year events that have played important roles in our lives and have stood out as highlights in our minds. Often, though, the memories which are our most vivid and most cherished are of small, personal occurences which perhaps have no meaning for anyone else. They are memories of things done out of love things done in sincerity and interest with no concern for their own significance.

As we leave behind this year, there will be some of these special moments that we will particularly remember. Mo- ments which we shared with Dean Guerry Stukes moments which inspired, comforted, and cheered us as we turned to him for friendship and counsel.

The times that we listened to words of kindly wisdom or understanding sympathy as we poured out our problems to him we'll have those moments to remember.

The innumerable times that we heard and were cheered by that contagious "giggle" we'll have those moments to remember.

The day of Investiture, as we were inspired by words which came from a man strong in Christian faith and belief in the values, traditions, and aspirations of our college we'll have those moments to remember.

And that celebration of all celebrations Dr. Stukes Day when we saw the deep humility and appreciation of Dr. Stukes as he heard the whole school shouting forth his praises and love we'll have those moments to remember.

Yes, these memories of Dr. Stukes we will have always. It is with deep love and appreciation for all that he has meant to us that we honor his retirement. L. S.

June! And that wonderful day has come and gone for one hundred and twenty brand new alumnae of Agnes Scott. Four years of study, laughter, and heartaches are re-viewed with mingled feelings of joy and a bit of nostalgia.

We who remain here see them go with a real sense of loss and with sadness, because they have been a vital part of our years at college, because we say adieu to some of the best friends we have had. But we are proud. We send them to establish homes, to work, to study at schools here and abroad, to represent us who are Agnes Scott in every phase of life; to represent our ideals, our aspirations, our spirit. And we are proud because of the quality, the fiber, the strength that they have exhibited to all of us who have known them, worked with them, and loved them. We thank them for the spiritual, academic, athletic leadership that has sustained us and given us a solid foundation on which to build; for the time, talent, spirit, and energy given freely to strengthen our purpose.

They leave us, but they leave to us the responsibility and the challenge to continue in their fine tradition. We wish them a bon voyag e. C. D.

Members of Motor Boat Club Receive Applause of Protestor

Hi, little people. This is your own Voice of Protest, coming to you through miles of red tape and, as usual, protesting. The first thing I want to protest, now that they've finally given me a chance, in this graduation issue of 'The Agnes Scott News" now, why should I do that, you may be asking- well, pal, it's like this. There's '

too much in it about the seniors and the important people who've won this or done that or gone yonder or invented perpetual mo- tion machines. I'm tired of hearing about people doing things. Why can't we go back to the good ole days when nobody . ever did any- thing, and everyone was happy, lazy, and stupid?

Oh, well, since things have changed, and it seems you have to praise somebody or shut up, I'll award some prizes of my own in the spirit of protest. If nobody else will applaud them, I guess it's up to me.

First, to the most protested and persecuted one goes the big gold medal with the flower on it. And the winner is The Rain. Not only did he make it possible to postpone May Day, he enabled everyone to enjoy the bright col- ors of the umbrellas in Buttrick and the dining hall, and without him we would have had no need

Prayer On The Morning Of Commencement

Father, the high day I have looked

to is beginning. My mingled feelings drive me to

my knees. I bow in the still of the morning in

this room which has been my

study and altar and home. My heart is heavy with regret for

what I have not done in this

I am not the fulfillment of my

own dream today. Father, forgive my mistakes. This commencement day I step out

into the unknown. I have dreams of tomorrow. My mind is bravely eager, but I

am a child and afraid. But for the dream Thou gavest

me, I would not think this day

I have had strange stirrings that

urge me into it. It is for tomorrow that I come to

Make it a lit beginning for what

shall come after; Keep me humble and simple of life

and clean of body and soul,

In tomorrow's unknown Thou art the only known.

Hold Thou my hand. Louise Foreman Blount

for those brick walks that go ev- erywhere but where you want them to.

Second, a big bouquet to the underclassmen who are coming back next year to try it again, for not graduating, transferring, quit- ting, or generally departing. With- out them there would be no jobs for the professors, or the librari- ans, or the staff.

Third prize of 16.000,001 Blue Horse wrappers goes to Dr. Stukes for being surprised so satisfac- torily. We hope he uses his prize to get a bicycle and ride over to see us as often as possible next year. (He may think he's leaving, but we won't let him.)

Honorable mentions go to the following protestors:

To the student who cut her five-hour course 14 times during the winter quarter. She is certain- ly carrying on in the spirit of pro- test according to the best tradi- tions;

To the juniors who formed the Motor Boat Club the evening after Mortar Board was chosen. Mem- bership requirements: never has done anything, majoring in loaf- ing, and holds no honors or of- fices. Motto: They also serve who only race their motors;

To the sophomores who are al- ways first in the lunch line;

To Ramona Cartwright for get- ting her name in the gossip column more than anybody else.

To all the people who did not get elected to an office.

To the freshmen for becoming sophomores in only 262 days.

To Tech, Emory, and Columbia Seminary for having boys, and to the fraternities for having pins and parties;

To the pigeons for finding a use for the doodads on the front of Buttrick;

To Decatur for only being six miles from Atlanta.

And to our professors, without whom we would not have had nearly so much to protest about.

And now, this is V.O.P. the voice of the forgotten man, giv- ing our final approval to our ex- ams for being over and done with until December 11. 1957, and saying, "So long, it's been good to know you, good-bye, and to all a good summer."

Members of Blackfriars have recently chosen eight new mem- bers into their group. The newly- discovered actresses are Margaret Salvadore, Carolyn Tinkler, Anne Trotter, . Diane Snead, Suellen Beverly, Tomi Lewis, Jan Lynn Fleming, and Linda Jones.

Folio members have completed their anthology and it has beeri sent to press. This anthology will contain one or more poems or short stories by each girl. The members did their own typing and designed their own cover and are now awaiting the arrival of the new Folio anthology.

A hamburger fry was recently held by Pi Alpha Phi in honor of Dr. George P. Hayes, the sponser of the Agnes Scott Debating Club. Pi Alpha Phi members presented Dr. Hayes with a watch in appre- ciation for all his services to the club.

I.R.C. is proud to announce that they have collected 500 books for the schools of Asia. The books have been packed by the club members and now await shipment to the East.

Barbara Varner is being sent to a United Nations Institute meet- ing by the club. She will leave for New York some time this summer. Organ Guild

The following new officers of the Organ Guild have been elect- ed: president, Charlotte Hender- son; secretary, Rosalyn Warren; treasurer, Hope Weathers. On Monday evening, May 19, the or- gan students presented a recital in Gaines Chapel.

New officers chosen in recent Glee Club elections are: Rosalyn Warren, president; Sissy Daniel, vice-president; Anne Corse, secret tary; Lucy Cole, treasurer; Kay Richards and Jo Hathaway, pub- licity; and Phyllis Cox and Kay Weber, librarians. Club members have received records they ordered of the "Davidde Penitente" sung with the Princeton Glee Club in April.

The following officers were elected at a brief meeting of the Spanish Club Thursday: president, Hazel Ellis; Betty Lewis, vice- president; and Kay Weber, secre- tary-treasurer. Plans are being made for many interesting pro- grams for the club next year. (Continued on Page 8)

'Through the Looking Glass 1

Senior Fun Fills Fairy Tale

(with help from Lewis Carrol) "Child of the pure unclouded brow And dreaming eyes of wonder! Though time be fleet, and I and thou

Are half a life asunder,

Thy loving smile will surely hail

The love-gift of a fairy-tale. * * *

A tale begun in other days, When summer suns were glow- ing

A simple chime, that served to time

The rhythm of our rowing Whose echoes live in memory yet Though envious years would say 'forget'."

Yes, a fairy-tale it seems now, as we peer back through the look- ing glass at the four years we, the Class of 1957, have spent at Agnes Scott. It all began one fine September day in the year 1953.

A peaceful college campus was invaded by a swarm of energetic freshmen. One hundred ninety strong, we came from twenty dif- ferent states and four foreign countries to a common meeting ground. Brand new Hopkins Hall opened its doors to some of us; others flooded into Inman and spilled over into Boyd and Ansley cottages.

Memories of the first few days of that year include endless lines, unfamiliar faces, and a circus party on the infirmary lawn com- plete with pink lemonade. Orienta- tion classes once over, we settled into the routine of college life, only to find Freshman English all it was stacked up to be. Our feeble attempts at creative writ- ing produced positively unheard- of results.

Black Cat day came soon to re- lieve academic pressures. This oc- casion found 190 voices pouring forth the melodious strains of "There is a College in this Land." Freshman talent was displayed in versions of the Hot Canary, the Highland Fling and Agnes Scott Net, in which detectives Musgrave and Cansler investigated the case of "the freshman who couldn't get in." Class chairman Carolyn Her- man received the black cat appro- priately "belled" by upperelass- men, while cheerleaders Margie Hill and Doug Pittman led the freshmen in applauding their class, winners of the song com- petition.

Hopkins Hall was officially de- dicated later in the quarter, and a tour of the building was arrang- ed. Dek-It award winners Mac- Dowell and Hodgens unfortunate- ly lived in the wrong dormitory to show off their, room at this time.

A swimming meet early in No- vember drew a crowd of freshman participants and spectators. En- thusiasm ran high as MacConochie, Molineux, Edwards, Walton and Musgrave surged ahead in free style, diving and medleys to bring victory to their class.

The first snowfall of the year stole the show from Dr. McDill during a Monday class meeting Such a shame the large flakes melted as soon as they reached the ground.

February 5 marked a milestone in college history Suppressed De- sires Day. Coupled with the Junior Jaunt effort, the day not only provided a chance for ringing fire- bells and screaming in the library,

Internationally Speaking . . .

Cast bursts forth in grand finale of "Encore.'

but also went so far as to do away with light and water restrictions in the dormitories for 24 hours! Freshman money-raising endeav- vors for Junior Jaunt resulted in that class's diet of doughnuts for a week, and a Hopkins refrigera- tor full of melted ice cream.

Junior Jaunt itself was a "Dreamer's Holiday," and the freshman puppet show "Rags to Riches" delighted the audience. Ye Olde Court Society turned out for the Nu Sigma Alpha Ball, with emphasis on the N, the S, and the A. "The Firebird," Dance Group production, starred prima donna Helen Sewell. A Founder's Day radio broadcast found Nancy Brock as a member of a panel considering the values of a liberal arts education.

Winter quarter fires in Inman and Hopkins, and a Christmas tree decorating party which suc- ceeded in getting more shaving cream on the decorators than on the tree were highlights of the season.

Sportswise, the freshmen took top honors in basketball. Athletes DeFord, Alexander, Beaver, Mills, O'Neal and Frapart stacked up an amazing record of six wins, no losses, to capture the 1954 basket- ball trophy. In tennis, Sis Burns early found her way to the top, with Carolyn Herman following close on her heels. Sheila Mac- Conochie represented the class on the varsity hockey team, and Ann Whitfield sported a broken finger as evidence of Softball season.

May Day found a production of "A Knyght Ther Was." Madge Martin and Cemele Miller repre- sented the Class of '57 in the May Court, while dozens of others danced in the dell.

Dennis the Menace early be- came class mascot, and made his official freckled appearance on a banner of gold and white. The Girls' Squirrel Observers Corps of America came into being on sec- ond Inman. Here it flourished for many months, and left its indel- ible imprint on one Jean Hodgens.

It was an unknown phantom which struck on first Inman many nights in succession, and an anony- mous discus thrower who landed a ball of green jello in the eaves of that building which remains visible to this day. Water pistols and alarm clocks became notor- ious in Hopkins Hall.

The close of spring quarter found t!he class scattering for the summer months, but a "Blue Book" newsletter kept tabs on everyone's vacation activities. During the course of the summer,

day students prepared name tags for September's orientation, and rising sophomore helpers eagerly corresponded with incoming fresh- men.

"In winter, when the fields are white,

I sing this song for. your delight In spring, when woods are getting green,

I'll try and tell you what I mean. In summer, when the days are long,

Perhaps you'll understand the song:

In autumn, when the leaves are brown,

Take pen and ink, and write it down."

Suddenly we were sophomores! Rebekah Scott housed most of us, but other strongholds were Mary Sweet, Lupton, Ansley and third and fourth Main. The year began early for sophomore helpers; a "pow-wow" party welcomed the Class of '58 in fine style. For the occasion, a dauntless decorations committee gathered cornstalks in the rain.

This was the year for "A Man Called Peter." Imported Model T's transformed the campus tempor- arily to that of another era, and the personalities of Jean Peters and Richard Todd added a Holly- wood flavor.

Both movie-making and a fea- ture article that appeared in "Mademoiselle" furnished subject matter for the sophomore Black Cat song. Dede Farmer, dressed as Dennis, and cheerleaders Pat Blackwood and Libby Bond led the class procession into the gym where Alley Cat and his Arabian Harem brought laughs in tine sophomore skit.

At Investiture time, white-clad sophomores ushered their black- gowned sister class into Presser Hall. English 211 became the sub- ject of much renown academically. It was this course which made Miss Redpath famous and occa- sioned an all-night Tom Jones party.

In sports, the sophs again took first place at the swimming meet, and our Robin Hoods snot enough bull's eyes to capture the archery award. The sophomore "B" bas- ketball team had an undefeated season, and Jackie Murray scored 22 points in one game.

The 8th Annual All-Southern Debate Tournament brought many startled visitors to campus on the date of the college's second Sup- pressed Desires Day. A basketball game that same day found com- petition raging between the teams of Penny Smith and Pat Black-

Chinese Storm US Embassy; Ike Persists In Budget Battle

While a private world of exams and graduation plans have absorbed most of the past weeks, the international world has continued to reverberate with various events; no one of them, perhaps, of earth-shaking significance, but all high- lighting situations and people which go a long way in ex plaining the complexity of the

international scene as a whole.

ASIA: Violence flared on the island of Formosa, resulting from the acquittal at the trial of an American soldier who shot to death a Chinese he accused of being a Peeping Tom. Chinese Nationalists stormed the United States Embassy, leaving the build- ing in utter chaos. The American flag was torn to tatters, as the crowd, urged on by pro-Commun- ist agitators, demonstrated anti- American sentiments to an alarm- ing degree a vivid example of America's all-to-volatile struggle to preserve its Asian toehold.

EUROPE: The resignation of Italy's courtly Premier Antonio Segni shattered the four-party coalition that had dominated Ital- ian politics since 1953. Segni's suc- cessor, Lawyer Adone Zoli, has agreed to form what Italians call a "single color" government com- posed of Christian Democrats. Zoli has frequently played the role of peacemaker between contending factions in Italian politics, while his hatred for Mussolini and the Fascist party dated from child- hood when he and II Duce were contemptuous playmates. The all- Christian-Democratic cabinet, un- fortunately, lacks an assured ma- jority in the Chamber of Deputies and thus can hope to survive only by ducking controversial issues-

wood. A one-sided game led to drastic strategy, in which Smith's team threw nigh passes to Sissy McSwain in the balcony; Sissy, in turn, dropped the ball through the basket and piled up a fan- tastic score.

Rich's Department Store helped the sophomores present a fashion show as part of the Junior Jaunt drive. Door prizes and the latest spring clothes drew a large crowd.

"The Greatest Show on Earth, Follies Bercircus" was that year's Junior Jaunt production. The sophomore skit, "Nature's Aber- ration, or The Ape in Our House," got snagged late in the week the idea was all right, but "it just shouldn't all have happened in the same family." Powerful sopho- more spirit and all night lights came to the rescue. On Saturday afternoon, rugs and sleeves were rolled up in Rebekah for four hours of intensive skit practice and prop making. The night of tihe performance found Milton the Magician and Punjo in the spot- light. A sawing-in-two stunt re- sulted in a scream before the cue was given, and one "almost--sawed- off" hand. Green smoke and an egg broken over the head of an audience participant climaxed the magic show.

"April in Paris" was the theme of the big sophomore dance and party spring quarter. On this oc- casion, the Rebekah ballroom was transformed into a terrace over- looking the Parisian skyline. Re- freshments were served in the sidewalk cafe located in the rec- reation room. A "Bon Voyage" party for the seniors honored our sister class in May. Native talent

a bad habit in these critical times.

NORTH AMERICA: In America the reigning "budget battle" be- tween Ike and Congress still rank- ed high in national news. The President's personal appeal to the people did not seem to greatly quiet the "slash spending" cries echoing throughout the country. It shall be interesting to see if Eisenhower's popularity can with- stand the latest congressional bar- rage or whether "Modern Repub- licanism" is to be absorbed into the party's conservative right wing by 1960.

Lecture Committee Announces Agenda

The Lecture Association has completed its schedule of speakers for the coming 1957-58 college year. Only tentative dates have been set for /the lectures.

In the fall quarter, Lecture As- sociation will bring to the campus Dr. Jose Mora, Secretary-General of the Organization of American States. Dr. Mora, who was sched- uled to speak at Agnes Scott this year, was unable to complete his engagement because of the out- break of the Suez crisis which de- tained him in Washington, D. C.

During his visit to the campus, Dr. Mora will be entertained ait a dinner given by President and Mrs. Alston with the diplomatic corps of Atlanta attending. The Pan-American Club of Atlanta also plans to fete Dr. Mora.

Coming to Agnes Scott on Jan- uary 14 will be ithe Braum Sweig Marionettes. The Austrian act won top accolades at the Edin- burgh Festival last year.

Robert Frost will make his an- nual visit to the Agnes Scott campus the last of January. The college community always antici- pates an enjoyable evening with Mr. Frost on the rostrum.

The final speaker of the series will be Dr. Arnold Toynbee, noted English historian and author. The renowned guest is scheduled to speak during the last of February.

Diana Carpenter is the chair- man of the Student Lecture Com- mittee, and Miss Mildred Mell is chairman of the Faculty Lecture Committee.

from the island of "Agnes Scia- wati" entertained with hula danc- ing, guitar playing and a rendition of "A Hundred and One Pounds of Fun."

S.S.S. strange signs bearing- these letters began to appear all over campus on the eve of the scheduled student-faculty softball game. Sophomores were instruct- ed to meet in the lobby of Rebe- kah at 10 that night. To those assembled at the appointed hour appeared a swarm of Sophomore Spirits, clad in white, who climb- ed through windows, popped out of date parlors and slid down the banister distributing candy and bubble gum. Yes, the sophomores had spirit coming from every- where the night of the Sophomore (Continued on Page 6)

4 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Monday, June 3. 1957

Clairvoyant Senior Tells Future

It was my first trip to Atlanta since June, 1957. I bought an "Atlanta Journal" from a news- stand which I noticed was one of a chain owned by my old school- mate, now multimillionaire, Dot Rearick. Dot I recalled, had made her first million on a chemical invention which allowed women to change the color of their eyes to match the shade of their dresses, and then had returned to her first love the newspaper. Before I was able to turn to my favorite edi- torial, written by foreign corre- spondent Byrd Bryan, I was dis- tracted by two noisy teenagers. They finally went their separate ways, crying to each other as they left: "See ya' in the funny papers!"

"Hmph," I sniffed, summing up all the dignity of my Agnes Scott heritage, "How corny can you get?" Thumbing calmly to the comic section of the paper, I meditated upon the silliness of the younger generation, then I stopped i It couldn't be, but is was! There in the "Peanuts" column were Margaret Minter, Frances Patter- son, and Martha Jane Morgan, all vying for the title of Champion Fussbudget of the world. Over in the corner was Jackie Rountree, flirting with Charlie Brown who was supposed to be going steady with Kit Crosby.

"Dick Tracy" Thinking that it must be a wild dream, my eyes moved to "Dick Tracy." The caption was changed to Slick Tracy, alias Mary Oates, Girl Detective. Mary, just back from an exciting manhunt in France, was just starting out on a chase to overtake the thief who had stolen Margaret Benton's col- lection of debating trophies. Her rigihthand woman was Mary Mar- garet Moody, known as "M- cubed," whose mathematical gen- ius had helped the racket squad to solve many a tough case. Sus- pect No. 1 was Eleanor Linn who was known to need Margaret's cups and platters to serve refresh- ments at her annual reception when the Admiral's fleet came in.

I noticed a new strip entitled "On the Waterfront." But instead of Marlon Brando, there was Ann Whitfield, directing a summer camp for boys under twelve. She was having some difficulty teach- ing Carolyn Barker's five red- headed, freckled-faced youngsters tine fine art of swimming. Mem- bers of Ann's camp staff included Rachel King, director of arts and crafts, and Susie Miller, nature instructor.

Glancing to the next page, I discovered a Lonely Hearts col- umn edited by none other than Miss Penny Smith. Penny had in- cluded a letter from Japan, writ- ten by Emiko Takeuchi. Emiko, as President of the Agnes Scott Alumnae club of Japan, was in charge of finding dates for some of the members for their winter dance and wanted to know how to go about grabbing available men. Penny suggested a Sadie Hawkins Day race, revealing that many Agnes Scott graduates had discovered that a good chase tired the boy out so that 'he could be easily caught.

My face red, I sneaked my glance back to the "Little Abner" column. The Sadie Hawkins race had just been completed, and there were Margie Hill, Laura Dryden. Hazel Hall, and Carol Pine waiting their turn for Marrying Sam to tic the knot. Millie Nesbit and Sally Fortson had just had a

double, whooping, two-dollar wed- ding and the excitement had not died down yet. Congratulating the girls who had been successful in the race were other victors from former years: Marty Slife, Becky Geiger, Peggy Are, Kathy Butler and Peggy Baker.

Teachers Meet At that point I was distracted from the paper by a crowd of chattering teachers passing by on their way to a meeting of the Na- tional Education Association. The chief feature of the day was to be Suzanne McGregor's review of a book on social studies written for high school students by Emily Starnes. In the crowd were Joyce Brownlee and Lavinia Whatley, discussing the harmful effects of comic strips on children. They were planning to second Julia Curry's motion that comic strips, as well as comic books, be banned. Tapping them on the shoulder, I informed them that if the motion passed, many of their old school chums would be out of a job.

I then invited Joyce, Lavinia, and their fellow teachers Mar- garet Foskey, Libby Bond, and Gay Pound to finish reading the funnies with me. We laughed and laughed at Emily Middleton, whose next door neighbor, Dagwood Bumstead, had just taken home his borrowed ladder, leaving Emily stranded on her roof, and at Ann Norris Shires, the new, fresh, gay Little Lulu. Karen Beall was caught on a small raft in a big storm along with Pogo, Albert the Alligater, and Helen Sewell. The four were passing the time sing- ing. "O to be in Paris, now That Elvis is There," or "Three Pennies in the Water-Cooler." They soon bumped into anotiher raft carry- ing Sis Burns, Carolyn Herman, and Dannie Reynolds who had gotton lost on their way to an alumnae meeting.

Gloria Calhoun, who had taken over Brenda Starr's position as top reporter for the flash, had just received a barrel full of no, not black orchids monkeys, from a mysterious admirer. Gloria was working on a feature story about the Florida Follies, a new vaude- ville act being produced and di- rected by Jean Porter and Betsy Crapps. Several out - of - state dances were being imported for the show Dot McLanahan, Nancy Wheeler, and Billie Rainey. Jene Sharp, having received her Ph.D., was felt to be qualified to write the script for the act, and Jean Donaldson Pervis had been hired to design the stage decorations. Sara Townsend, noted for her lovely voice, had been asked to sing the main part, but had replied that she had promised to take her high school biology students on a field trip.

Goiter's Son Replaces Dennis

Dennis the Menace had been re- placed by the small son of Lib Geiger. In the cartoon for the day he was next door asking Judy Pur- ccll for a peanut butter sandwich, and five pieces of cake for dessert, please.

A new strip called "Carnival Ca- pers" featured the heartwarming story of the life of Nellie Strick- land, girl barker. At the time, business was not going well and it was necessary to decide which members of the carnival staff would have to be let go. Would it ho Franny Barker, the sword swallower, Jo-Ann Beasley, the fire-eater, Jean Hodgens, the weight lifter, Nancy Glasure, the lion tamer, or Martha Walston,

the tight-rope walker?

Several members of the class of '57 had stepped by mistake into "Alley Oop" and had gotten caught in the time machine. Poor things. There they were back in the Age of the Dinosaurs. There w T as no need to be frightened, however, for several of their classmates were already there and having a ball. Nancy Flagg waved gaily from the back of a blue-green monster, while Margaret Schilling Marshall joyfully swung on its tail. Jackie Johnson, Grace Moli- neaux, and Virginia Redhead were playing tag with a ferocious-look- ing but friendly, fire-breathing mammal. Mollie Merrick was the only one who looked unhappy. She was crying that she had to get back to her church in Savannah, but when Doug Pittman offered to share a ride on a sea serpent, Mollie dried her tears and joined in the fun. Ila "John Donne" Dorough finally discovered the secret of the time machine, and everyone returned to the twenti- eth centrury. They were met by a joyful crowd including Margie DeFord, Joyce Skelton, Pat Wal- ter, and Ann Gilbert, and led by Ann Lane, who excitedly asked all about the dinosaurs in hopes of securing some hot material for a new novel.

Exhausted from reading of such exciting events, I put aside the paper and hailed a Good-Humour Man for Eskimo Pie. The Good- Humour Man turned out be a Good-Humour Woman, or Martha Riggins herself. She told me that Nancy Brock was now the owner of the Eskimo Pie corporation and that May Chism was serving as president. She also passed on the information that Frazer Waters was the head of an architects firm.

While talking with Martha, I saw Frances Holtsclaw and Char- lotte Holzworth passing by. I asked them to stop and finish reading about our old friends in the funny papers with me. Giving me a curious stare, Frances said she had to get on to the boat races in Ft. Lauderdale, and Char- lotte was needed right away at her Hospital for Aged Kitty Kats. Helene Lee, Sally Logue, Frances Cork Engle, and Anise Gann hur- ried by on their way to a house- party at the plantation owned by Dot Huddleston.

Returning to the funnies, I saw that the "Mutt and Jeff" cartoon was now peopled by Susan Austin and Louise Almand. Sluggo's new girlfriend was Nancy Love. Rex- Morgan, M.D. had a new nurse, Catherine Girardeau. Harriet Eas- ley and Arden Hubbard were working as co-pilots in "Smilin' Jack Martin." They were busy practicing for an air show to be held at Barbara Myers Air Field the next month. A revised comic strip, "The Heart of Jackie Mur- ray," told of the courageous work of Jackie who ran a nursery school. Her pupils included the children of Pat Tucker, Mary- Jones. Virginia Fuller, and Caro- lyn Langston. Jackie was assisted by Ann Terry and Marianne Dun- can, and was contemplating the addition of another member to her staff, Virginia McClurkin Jones who had a lot of experience with children, having three of her own. Jean Knapp was also applying for that position. However, Jackie's main problem was a rival nursery school set up on the other side of town by Angeline Pope. Angeline (Continued on Page 5)

Seniors Reveal Fufure Plans; Many To Continue Education

Jiminy Cricket! Everybody's dashing around two-forty getting ready to go home for the summer or for good! They hardly have a minute to give your roving reporter. All I want to know is what the Seniors will be up to next Septem- ber and, despite all the rushing hither and yon, I have man- aged to gather a few little tidbits.

Emiko Takeuchi is planning to

take a fast boat to Japan next fall. Little "Maki Mouse" is all excited about going home. She is hoping to teach school there.

Emiko won't be the only world traveler in the '57 class. Sis Burns is looking forward to touring Europe this summer. She plans to j take it easy around home next year. Lucky girl!

Looks like the University of North Carolina will be overrun with Scotties doing graduate work next year. Margaret Minter, win- ner of the Quenelle Harrold Fel- lowship, is hoping to begin work- ing for her Master's degree in English among the Tarheels. Con- trary to the popular rumor that she is planning to go into the poultry business, Penny Smith in- tends to begin her pre-med train- ing at UNC, and Mary Beaty will be working toward her master's and possibly her Ph.D. in Classics there.

Not to be outdone Duke has at- tracted a couple of Scotties name- ly Carolyn Herman and Martha Riggins. Carolyn will be studying (Counseling and guidance while Martha will work in religious edu- cation. Then there's Emory, where Carolyn Langston plans to do den- tal research starting next fall.

The teaching profession will get a big boost from this year's crop of Agneses. Julia Curry, Miriam Cale, Ann Gilbert, Margie Hill, Cemele Miller, Anne McKelvie, and Virginia Fuller are just a few who will begin doing their bit to bring up tomorrow's citizens when September rolls around.

Many of tne seniors nave defin-

Saturday, June 1, at Class Day the senior class presented to the school a Stromberg-Carlson High Fidelity Music System -for the din- ing hall. This system amplifies and evenly distributes the music over the dining area. The seniors are contributing $50.00 worth of records to be used with the music system. These records will be of I he instrumental and semi-classical type. Mortar Board will be in charge of playing these records at supper time.

The class is also setting up a fund to be used for vocational guidance. Miss Murphy will be in charge of the fund which will be used for books, testing materials, and any other means that will be helpful to students seeking voca- tional guidance.

ite plans for the immediate future. Margie Deford is headed for Princeton Seminary to study reli- gious education; and Molly Mer- rick, freshman adviser for the class of '60, is looking forward to becoming DCE at the First Pres- byterian Church in Savannah, Georgia.

College Schedules Dorm Renovations

Various changes to be made in cottages and dormitories have been planned for the coming summer, although all plans are not yet definite.

The plan for fire renovation will be continued in Rebekah and will be started in Inman. Living conditions in Ansley, Hardeman, and Sturgis will be improved.

McDonough Cottage at 202 South McDonough Street will be moved, and the cottage at 206 McDonough Street will be wreck- ed.

Other improvements will be made with landscaping, Presser, the gymnasium, and other build- ings.

SARTOR RESOURCEFUL OR

THE LIBERAL ARTIST By Jean Slu rp

O cut away the apron strings of academic life.

We must remake the unliberal world with pen and biology knife.

There are diapers to be deftly hung with artistic, subtle scheme,

And shopping lists to be outlined by subject, tone, and theme.

How shall the Ladies' League be taught 'lest we kindly connect

The evils of nipping cooking sherry as seen in Doppler effect?

Our chemistry will control the cake, our psych, sly junior outpace.

With liberal eye and outthrust chin, the future we will face.

And within our hearts right reason will say: "Your diploma you'll always use.

It may not get you a white collar job, but it's good for resoling shoes!"

The last column on the comic page was taken up by one huge picture of the party celebrating Virginia Ferris's tenth anniversay for having played Minnie in the "Mickey Mouse" comic strip. Marian Hagedorn was there as another Walt Disney character, Daisy Duck. Cemele Miller was there as Pluto and Helen Hendrey as Bugs Bunny. Jo Ann Nix, who had been in charge of the decora- tions for the party, was dressed as Elmer Fudd. Other party goers were Pat Sanford, Nancy Snipes, Mary Beaty, and Margaret Ann Zepatos. There was a jazz band conducted by Virginia Hutchinson. Marilyn Anderson was beating on the piano. Miriam Cale was puffing on the clarinet, and Mary Kinman was the drummer. Julia Curry and Ann McKeivie were singing an original duet entitled, "When Far From the Reach of Thy Shel- tering Arms."

Just about that time I noticed that a policeman had been giving me a peculiar look. Not wanting to be picked up for loitering on public benches, I moved on. But wanting to be friendly, I waved to the policeman and said, "See ya' in the funny papers." You never can tell.

A wonderful week-end to end a wonderful year! Scotties by the dozens had their last mid-exams fling of this school year by basking in the sun and dancing under the twinkling stars. Emory and Tech feted Scotties with "before-exams blasts" to top all of the year.

The KA s at Tech had their last fling of hop and rock, entertain- ing Babe McFadden, Leslie Sevier, Anne Trotter, Suzanne Meri- wether, Beverly Rippard, Mary Wilson, Helen Culpepper, Lynn Frederick, Sissy Hurley, and Edith Hurt.

Tech Delts escorted Hollis Smith, Carolyn Cushman, Sarah Adams and Nancy Graves to Groover's Lake for a picnic.

Many a laugh was had by all when Tech's mid-week Stunt Night found Liz Acree, Mary Rivers Stubbins, Jennie Grace Walker, and June Hall watching the fun and enjoying the competition.

A few well-tanned and many well-burned "Agneses" journeyed to Pine Lake to bake and brown before the big weekend. Seen there were Margie DeFord, Joanne Brownlee, Emily Bivens, Angelyn Alford, LaVonne Nalley, and, Cynthia Grant.

Having fun in the sun with the Tech Betas at Allatoona were Suzanne Bailey, Mary Clayton Bryan, Helen Burkitt, Jane Kraemer, and Helen Maddox. Fritz Orr's was the scene of the Tech Phi Delt's last blast. Among the celebrating Scotties were Lois Barrineau, Mary Rose Speer, Bar- bara Alderson, Dana Hundley, Jody Armbrecht, and Maria Harris. The Kappa Sig's at Tech and a hot combo combined, to show Libby Hanson, Barbara Byrnes, Winky Stockton, Rosemary Roberts, Jeanne Slade, and Renee Shenk one of the best times of the year.

Remembering all the good times of the past year and looking forward to the ones to come in the Fall, the Tech Sigma Nu's waltzed Val Edwards, Myra Glasure, Tweedie Trammell, and Doreen Greenfield around the floor of their house and patio. The event of the evening was the announcement that Slheila MacConochie has been chosen the Sweetheart of Sigma Nu Congrats, Sheila!

Cantering and romping at the Canterbury picnic were many Epis- copalian Scotties Susie Miller, Pauline Winslow, Sarah Brown, Julian Preble, Boo Florance, Caroline Mikell, and Anita Moses, among others.

T/io' most of the houseparty week-ends are now just happy memories and peeling shoulders, the Phi Kappa Tau's took NeU Archer with them, and Marianna Bramlitt joined the Lambda Ohi's.

Not to be outdone by sun burns and weary feet, Betty Lewis is the proud pinee of a Tech SAE, Becky Evans has the DSD pin of a dental student at Emory, and Corky Feagin sports the crescent and star of a Kappa Sig at Tech. Angeline Pope announced her engage- ment, and Dale Dick has a new ring of the fourth finger, left hand variety.

Sounds like Spring Quarter was ushered out with a bang, a bop, and a wonderful, wonderful time. May next Fall bring more parties galore and fun in store for Scotties who'll dance til' they wear out the floor. Have a wonderful summer.

The influence of the educated American woman is one of the strongest forces for good in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa- tion, not narrow specialized training, that has developed her abilities and insights. As homemaker-citizen and as ca- reerist-citizen, she justifies magnificently the faith of those who a century ago were fight- ing for her right to learn what she wished to learn.

Kallman Receives McKinney MilTOr Reflects '57 Talent

Award For Book Collection

Lea Kallman, a sophomore, received the Louise McKinney Book Award, which has a cash value of twenty five dollars, at the graduation exercises this morning.

In winning the award Lea excelled in presenting a selection of books which reflect taste and well-developed intellectual interests on the part of their own- er and by showing to a faculty committee that she has a fine comprehension and appreciation of the works. Lea's selection of books evidences her interest in a wide variety of fields, including geog- raphy, opera, and poetry. Her eag- erness to explore her major sub- ject, philosophy, appears through such works as Marx's "Capital" and other writings, and Augustine's 'The City of God." In fiction her selection, ranging from the whim- sical "Bach and the Heavenly Choir" by Johannes Ruber to the collected works of Rudyard Kip- ling, has a concentration on Som- erset Maugham.

The four other students com- peting in the contest entered col- lections worthy of careful consid- eration by the judges. Gene Rein- ero's selection was built around standard works dating from the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey" to "The Sound and the Fury."

The Louise McKinney Book Award was established a number of years ago as a memorial to Miss Louise McKinney, professor emeritus of English. In order to be eligible for the prize a student must enter a collection of at least fifteen books acquired during the past year. The winner of the award is expected to use it for such intellectual and artistic en- richment as buying records or at- tending concerts.

It seems like all colleges are witnessing the same scene about this time "The Great Exodus."

Spirit Sneak. Such spirit, evident throughout the course of the year, was tangibly rewarded with our winning of the Class Spirit cup the end of spring quarter.

That year's "Mountain May Day" starred Maizie Cox, sup- ported by Donna Walkup in the role of a bat.

Second Rebekah's "stinky party" was an original idea. Helen Sewell, Jo-Ann Beasley, Nellie Strickland and company gobbled onion sand- wiches and Cokes on the porch of Rebekah one night, forgetting it was the Thursday before Emory's Dooley's. What business the book- store enjoyed tine following day for mints and chewing gum! To third Rebekah and Virginia Fuller goes credit for the first roller skat- ing rink on campus.

Spring elections saw rising jun- iors beginning to fill major cam- pus offices: Smith, Redhead, Brock and Burns in Student Government, Deal and Merrick in Christian As- sociation. Ordering of our rings and fashioning of a daisy chain for the Class Day exercises of our sister class finished out the year. Millie Nesbit and Dennis worked to keep the class united during the summer months by means of a newsletter.

"Without, the frost, the blinding snow,

The storm-wind's moody mad- ness

Within, the firelight's ruddy glow, And childhood's nest of gladness. The magic words shall hold thee fast:

Thou shalt not heed the raving blast."

Back to the stomping ground again, and this time it was our sheltering arms which welcomed the incoming freshmen. As a class, we were given the command: "Go ye unto the uttermost parts of the campus;" and that we did, in- habiting all known cottages and then some. Delegations from Alex- ander cottage, affectionately dub- bed "Siberia" or "Camp Farthest Out," found they had to leave home base at 7:15 in order to get to breakfast before their 8:30 class. McDonough cottage ran a close second for being the farthest from civilization, yet boasted all the latest luxuries including a butterfly chair in the living room and an art gallery with different pictures each week. Dr. McCain became the first house-father in campus history; both "father" and "daughters" enjoyed every minute

Sweepstakes beginning at 4:30 in the afternoon were added to that year's Black Cat; we juniors succeeeded in edging out the sen- iors to win the backwards race in which the last runner to reach the finish line was declared win- ner. At ISNOB U. in the junior skit, students cheered: "Rah, Rah, Rah, Sis, Boom, Bah, Snob, Snub, Snout, And turn yourself about," then sang the alma mater, "How to be Very, Very Popular!" A dance in Rebekah climaxed the activities of the day.

On Hallowe'en night, ghost- like juniors invaded the freshman dormitories, distributing candy and goodies to their new sister class. November's "Pogo" party for the seniors was a howling suc- cess. In true Okefinokee style, swamp creatures made their ap- pearance, and green swamp water served as punch.

A junior class project under- taken was tihat of decorating the dining hall. Hallowe'en. Christ- mas, Valentine's Day, and Found- er's Day afforded outlets for our artistic expression. Popcorn and candied apples were sold by class members at the hockey games.

Sophocles' "Antigone" was a fall quarter high light. The Greek drama featured wedge-shaped col- umns, a speaking chorus, and one Tiresias, the blind prophet, who drew a tremendous ovation.

The pink and silver Christmas tree decorated for Grady Hospital by the junior class won first place in competition. Visiting Cambridge debaters gave the campus com- munity an evening of laugfhs in Maclean Chapel.

Our. Junior Jaunt was staged immediately after Christmas holi- days. Broadway musicals came to life against a backdrop of the big city's show places in "Encore." Kit Crosby turned in an authen-

tic performance as Annie Oakley, while three scrubwomen stole the show. With a little help from Will Shakespeare, Sara Townsend be- came famous. Painted paper cur- tains hung in the gym lent the atmosphere of a theater during the big performance, and that of a ballroom during the dance which followed. .Rich's fashion show again helped out in the charity drive, as did Charlotte Holz- worth's front porch, headquarters for old newspapers that the class collected.

Anne McKelvie and Jo-Ann Beasley placed first and second in the badminton tournament that year. A Coney Island party for the freshmen climaxed winter quarter activities.

"Blossom Time" was the theme of our junior banquet and dance in April. Pink and white dogwood trees, park benches beside a lake, and moonlight set the scene for a most enjoyable evening. May Day was "A Harlequinade." Jun- iors honored in the May Court were Jackie Murray, Doug Pitt- man, Betsy Crapps and Francis Cork.

Spring elections swept Penny Smith, Margie DeFord and Caro- lyn Herman into the chief offices of Student Government, C. A., and A. A., respectively. Sis Burns had previously been tapped to head Mortar Board during her senior year.

Individual memories of cottage life during junior year linger, on. Roll call in Gaines, stewed gold- fish in Ansley, and the Seven Deadly Sins in McDonough are among the many experiences not soon to be forgotten.

The students, faculty, adminis- tration, staff, alumnae, trustees, and friends of Dr. Stukes "con- spired" this spring and had a sur- prise "Dr. Stukes Day." At this time a "This Is Your Life" skit was presented, with many of Dr. Stukes' family and old friends present. A luncheon was served in the dining hall, after which a gift of a new Oldsmobile was present- ed to a most bewildered and amaz- ed Dr. Stukes. Since one of Dr. Stukes' most famous characteris- tics is color blindness, Mrs. Stukes had the privilege of choosing the color, pink, "which would look nice with her hair."

The Stukes, who will continue to live in Decatur, will always re- main a part of the college tradi- tion.

The group of counselors and unit leaders includes Pauline Winslow at Wade Mecum in Walnut Grove, North Carolina, Laura Parker at Kanuga, Hendersonville, North Carolina, Anita Moses at Camp McDowell in Nauvore, Alabama, Mary Clapp and Martha Riggins at Camp Timber Ridge in Austell, Georgia, Beverly Delk at Burgess Glen in Greenville, South Caro- lina, Carolyn Hoskins at Sequoya in Bristol, Virginia, Katherine Hawkins at Ridgecrest, North Carolina, Rosemary Roberts at Andre Clark in Pleasantville, New York, and Margaret McKelway also at Pleasantville.

Senior Year Climaxes 'Fantasy'

Summer arrived before we knew it, and we scattered to the winds. Dennis and his crew came through again in August with news of classmates from all over the world.

"And, though the shadow of a sigh May tremble through the story,

For "happy summer days" gone by, And vanish'd summer glory

It shall not touch, with breath of bale,

The pleasance of our fairy-tale."

Seniors we were at last! The biggest and busiest year of all got off to a grand start with an Oriental Black Cat observance, "We Are Siamese, If You Please." Following the sweepstakes and a picnic supper, the seniors sang their fourth and last Black Cat song, which, although it did not win a prize, will linger on "all through the years." Money-'bags Pete, Tombstone Jones, Slipalong and the Sheriff did their stuff at the Last Chance Dairy Queen in the senior skit. There were three things that were absolutely not tolerated at Soaking Wet Gulch and two of these were Siamese cats, but Louise Almand and Sheila MacConochie made the best of it.

A senior coffee for the fresh- men ended the round of parties honoring the Class of 1960. The Swap Shop, designed to facilitate

inexpensive room decorating, was a senior class project. A smorgas- bord supper honored the senior class the last of September.

October 25 marked the big mock Presidential election on campus, at which time Dot McLanahan and Byrd Hoge headed the forces of the Democrats and Republicans. Decatur High School band music and gigantic banners for each party set the atmosphere for the rally. In the balloting which fol- lowed, it was a grinning Ike who edged out Adlai to become the campus' choice for President.

Investiture weekend this time was our special event, and Dr. Stukes, class sponsor, was unani- mously chosen to deliver the In- vestitute address. Following "Big Girls' Day" on Friday, the seniors donned their gowns to receive the official status of seniorhood be- stowed by Miss Scandrett in a solemn capping ceremony. Kathy McCain, class mascot, made her first appearance with the seniors at this time.

"Dixierama," this year's Junior Jaunt, presented the Old South in song and dance as a climax to the annual charity drive. Long-lost "Lukey" returned from the Civil War in the senior skit dramatic- ally enacted by Smith, DeFord, Austin, Wilson, and company.

Dance Group's production of "The Four Seasons" featured Fran Patterson as Autumn and Helen Sewell as the West Wind. Dolphin Club, under president Grace Moli- neux chose the theme of Snow White for their, elaborate pres- entation of "The Magic Mirror." (Continued on Page 8)
