AGNES
It is a tall order to write about life at Agnes Scott College.
What is unique and special about life here? What is the
tie that binds us to this campus? When we look back
twenty years from now, what will we cherish most about the
four years we spent at Agnes Scott College?
We look at our navy sweatshirts with the college mottO: In
Fide vestra virtutem in virtute autem scientiam, which trans-
lates "supplement your faith with virtue and virtue with
knowledge." Agnes Scott, you certainly instill in us this
motto. You help us develop a faith in ourselves, a self-confi-
dence, a self-reliance which no one can remove. You help us
to realize our strengths and weaknesses, to confirm our
values and to examine our emotions by challenging us aca-
demically, socially and personally. We will never forget slav-
ing over English papers, spending hours in chemistry lab,
running to meetings, attending lectures and concerts instead
of studying, coping with blind dates, attending fraternity
parties, surviving road trips to the beach, and trying to
maintain a proper perspective on life — ALL at the same
timell
There are so many challenges which in the beginning seem
impossible to handle. But you force us to make decisions, to
establish priorities, and to accept responsibilities for our
actions. You show us that we must balance our independence
with a measure of dependence upon others: our families, our
friends and classmates and our professors. And, through the
examples of our peers, you prove to us that with dedication
and perseverance we can achieve whatever we wish. You
may not be the real world. Agnes Scott, but by fostering our
individuality and nuturing our creativity, you prepare us
more for life than most outsiders will ever know. For while
many other college students become cynical and close-mind-
ed in their "real world" academic environments, Agnes Scott
students still possess a youthful optimism. We still appreciate
life and we yearn to accomplish something worthwhile,
something that will benefit not only ourselves but also others.
We find purpose and meaning in our lives; we discover . . .
ourselves.
SCOTT COLLEGE
What's In Store
For Me
In '82-83?
The steamy, languid days of summer
gave us the opportunity to organize and
plan for the year of studies to come. As
many of us reclined in chaise lounges at
poolside, we considered our futures with
a mixture of contentment, excitement,
and dread. We knew deep in our hearts
that school and its unavoidable problems
would work themselves out when the
time came) we were excited at the
thought of new and fascinating exper-
iences, classes, and friends in metropoli-
tan Atlanta) we dreaded the enormous
amount of things we needed to accom-
plish before school.
All these connections with September,
Agnes Scott, and the inevitable frenzy to
come faded into a hazy dream. It was
easy to push it to the back of our minds
while working or relaxing at home, but
the end was looming in the distance all
the time. Writing to friends from the past
year was a way of keeping a grip on the
lifestyle that consumed nine months of
the year, but letters were erratic, and we
Scotties just settled back into a summer
routine that was calming and restful. This
blissful reward for slaving through the
last three seasons lasted until approxi-
mately the end of July.
"But. Daddy, I need all this stuff."
At this time, all of us, especially fresh-
men, began to sweat. Asked constantly if
we were "excited" about school starting
m, our replies varied. Some of us
o aunts and uncles, "Yes, we can
iiirdTy wait to get out of Conf inement-
ville, U.S.A., to the sprawling city of At-
lanta." Others, preferring not to offend
the relatives quite so much, affirmed the
excitement, but included a reservation as
to how nice it would be to see everyone.
Still others, probably more than will dare
to admit, were not sure at all if we want-
ed to return to school.
For those of us who would spend our
first year here/ aiitieipation was much
different from that of the seasoned pros'.
Not knowing many girls, if any at all, and
not being familiar with the traditions or
mood of the campus, newcomers felt iso-
lated — like greenhorns in front of an
audience. Even with the helpful letters of
Big Sisters, Dorm Counselors, and Orien-
tation Council, freshmen, transfer stu-
dents, and exchange students all had a
iear of making some massive breach of
fequette for which there would be no

home and ASC softened our resistance to
the evils of academia, and soon it became
worth It all just to come back for the big
reunion. Summer was a time to shape up life
and body. The diets began to pay off, the
tans accumulated, and, ideally, the dollars
piled up, too. It was time to rest the brain,
but also to key up for new fall activities.
Finally, the time came to pack up and
move in. We composed lists which seemed

nistic about all the aspects of Scott, even if
*e weren't!
Obviously, the majority of us were com-
ng back for a large part because we had
'njoyed the preceding year. We knew that
this campus was active, lively, and challeng-
ng. Whether or not upperclassmen were
^uite ready for another quarter of the nose-
to-the-grindstone was the only question. It
ivould be so nice if we could go to school,
see friends, go to parties, attend classes,
und never have to work and study. Yet, as
the summer wore on, the distance between

arrival, or maybe that flat tire or tortured

the road will be a sweet reminiscence.
Amazingly enough, everyone did get here
with her own measure of success. Leaving
home may have been hard, but even for
first-timers, the excitement of the trip over-
came most of the reluctance or sheer terror
of coming to Scott.
On campus, things were really jumping.
The empty buildings were once again com-
ing to life with bright curtains, dust ruffles,
and stuffed animals. Shouts and squeals and
tremendous hugs were a mainstay of our
diet that first week. For one-fourth of the
school, moving in meant meeting that room-
mate and Big Sister, and trying to remember
where Buttrick was. It was a harrowing ex-

perience, anticipating all these things, and
everything seemed so importantl
Slowly, for the freshmen, and for the re-
turning Scotties, came the realization of
heading toward a goal, of starting new rela-
tionships, of work well done, and, most of all,
of belonging.
REALIZATION
It's All Falling Into Place
As soon as the freshman class descended on the
formerly serene and orderly campus of Agnes Scott,
it began to experience doubts and problems. Almost
every one of the Scottish Highlanders was more than a
little nervous about her new life here. The new room-
mate, a questionable social life, more than four-hundred
faces and names to connect, and mountains of aca-
demic and extracurricular responsibilities piling up all
contributed to that easily recognizable "Freshman
Look." Sporting the latest fashions, complete with wrin-
kled brows and glazed eyes, the freshmen withstood
countless dorm meetings, Honor Court meetings, class
meetings (interrupted regularly by the Sundance Kids
screaming meaningless rhymes), book discussions, and
library tours. Yes, if a girl can go through all these
endurance tests she can definitely make the grade at
ASCI
Still, doubts existed in the minds of many new stu-
dents. "Was this really the place to be for the next four
years? Will college life be as exciting and mind-opening
as Mother always told me? Can I handle all the aca-
demic work plus the extra things 1 want to do? Can my
roommate and 1 survive an entire year together, adjust-
ing to each other's habits and pet peeves?" For most
girls, these puzzles were settled within the first two or
three weeks of school, and almost everyone came to
the same conclusions: the work could be handled, the
Scott environment was likeable, Scotties were likeable,
and college was turning out to be even better than they
had expected. Yes, they were cut out to be Scotties.
For the upperclassmen, the return to campus was a
homecoming. It was exciting to see all the close friends
from past years and to see how they had changed over
the long summer. At first, it was difficult to understand
their new commitments to boyfriends, or the changes
in status of previous beaux, but it was a new year with
old haunts to visit and familiar objects to unpack. It was
time to start out all over again. Out came the comfort-
ers, distinguished by the battle scars from study ses-
sions and study breaks, out came the old books, marked
and bent with use, and out came the old pictures and
posters, once again serving as decorative master-
pieces.
It was funny how everything seemed to fall into
place, unchanged and stable. Friends had matured or
grown in some ways, yet it was surprising how easy it
was to return to the normal, if somewhat erratic, colle-
giate scene. Concentrating on the present problems of
academic life, the upperclassman Scottie looked to the
future with serious consideration. She was being led,
step by step, into a vast and confusing world outside
the secure cocoon that she knew so well. But, when the
time came, she would be ready, and her wings would be
strong enough to carry her over any weather.
Agnes Scott
One of the main comments we at
Agnes Scott hear from visitors, both
male and female, is how close every-
one is on campus. "Close," we say,
"That's because we are all sisters of
sorts!" And while these sorts vary,
each is just as special as another. What
type of "sisters" do we have at Agnes
Scott? Let's take a look . . .
1/ .Sophomore Lisa Bowers is a Sigma Alpha Epsi-
!on little Sister at Tech.
'j} Kappa Alpha Liitls Sisters Karia Sefcik, Jackie
Umfladfer, snd Barbara Caulk stand with their
Big Brothers enjoying the "fraternity" of the KA
house.
i) One of the many projects in which Little
Sisters are involved is the preparation of special
meals for the brothers. A welcome change from
their usual fare.
The Little
Sister .
Have you ever noticed how many fra-
ternity-jerseyed girls there are running
around campus? Well, the students occu-
pying those jerseys are usually little sis-
ters at Georgia Tech (and sometimes
Emory) fraternities. While being a Greek
doesn't appeal to all Scotties, many out-
going girls find it to be a great social
outlet and a fun way to be involved off
campus. They help at the house, party
with the brothers and take part in rush.
What better way not only to make new
sisters out of fellow Agnes Scott girls, but
also to gain fifty or sixty new brothers at
one shot I
A Sisterhood
The Real
Sister
Certainly not the least important type
of sisterhood at Agnes Scott is the real,
trueblood sister. We have several sets of
sisters who share the same background
but lead totally different lives at Agnes
Scott. We even have one family of three
sisters, the Whittens. And we have a set
of sisters who both won Stukes Scholar-
ships on Honors Day and another set of
sisters who made the Honor Roll for 1981-
82 in their respective classes. Many girls
wonder what it would be like to be at
school with their sisters . . . Well, these
sisters report that although some compe-
tition does exist, there is a sense of help-
fulness and guidance that typifies "sis-
terhood." Of the sets of sisters here, all
are as individual as any other Scottie.
Some younger sisters choose to follow
their older sisters into certain clubs and
activities (we even have two who are
both Georgia Tech FIJI little sisters) while
others seem so opposite you hardly real-
ize they are related. Yet the tie is there,
and related they are. Sisters with the sis-
terhood of Agnes Scott — a very special
relationship indeed.

Luke finds herself enjoying a cup of coffee with her

ter.

together at home, but they are also roommates here
at Scott.
4) Sue Feese and her sister Laura are Stukes Scholars
and very active on campus. How do two such outgo-
ing sisters stand living on the same campus? Well.
they make it somehowl
And More Sisters
Most of us have observed the baf-
fled expressions on the faces of off-
campus visitors when a Scottie says, "1
want you to meet my little sister, Patti,
and my other one, Caria, oh, and
there's my newest one, Debbie." The
looks indicate that the Scottie must
have lost all of her senses. But it is
easy enough to explain, thanks to the
great Orientation program which
gives each incoming freshman and
transfer student a "Big Sister" from
another class. These Big Sisters intro-
duce them to Agnes Scott, and when
they arrive help the new girls to move
in, get settled, learn their way around
and adjust to college life. Many Big
Sisters stay close to their little sisters
throughout the college year. Some am-
bitious seniors have as many as six
little sisters. Now that's a sisterhood!
Just keeping up with each of their
birthdays is a memory feat. But the
biggest reward for a Big Sister is when
her charge decides to become a Big
Sister herself because hers was so spe-
cial to her!

The Sister
Class . . .
Everyone knows that at Black Cat each
class is out to win the prized Black Kitty.
But if you listen closely, you will hear an
ever recurring phrase which is very spe-
cial: "Sister Class." A senior Scout tells a
nervous sophomore Sundance Kid, "Don't
worry, we'll help you find out their mas-
cot — hey, we're you sister class!" And of
course we have the sentimental sister
songs at the bonfire and song competi-
tion the Thursday before the Black Cat
production and formal. Even this year's
rain and indoor "fake" bonfire did not
take away from the beauty of choruses of
girls singing to their sister classes. It was
a time for the freshmen to thank the ju-
niors for helping them through Black Cat.
And it was a time to say good-bye to the
senior Troop of '83 and welcome in the
new sister class of 1986.

Have you ever wondered why we do
what we do during Black Cat? Accord-
ing to a certain well-known Black Cat
scholar, the traditional festivities lead-
ing up to and including Black Cat have
been evolving since the I920's. You
may also be wondering what could
happen in sixty or so years to that
special week and feeling of fall quar-
ter.
To begin, once there was no Black
Cat. An Agnes Scott student today
would say, "No Black Cat? Well that's
almost impossible to imagine!" And it
was the constructive imagination of
Dr. Mary Sweet that pioneered the
Black Cat spirit, yet even she did not
know what she was initiating.
Dr. Sweet, tired of patching up
freshmen and sophomores, directed
their energies into composing judged
skits about college life instead of play-
ing malicious fall pranks on one an-
other.
By the early 1950*5 hockey games, a
production, a picnic, and song compe-
tition were added to the fall quarter
agenda. A week-long hockey tourna-
ment between the classes was the
kick-off of the sports season. The pro-
duction those evenings was somewhat
different from the Black Cat produc-
tion that we know. Friday evening,
after a long day of hockey and fried
chicken, each class wrote a song about
college life at Agnes Scott that was
sung and judged at the production. At
this time it was required that the
songs be both original music and
words. At the production, each class
performed a skit and the faculty also
performed. None was judged. In the
late 1950*5, a dance in Rebekah Recep-
tion Room or the gym was held that
same event-loaded Black Cat Friday.
By this time, each class had a mas-
cot, but the decision of the freshmen
in the fall was not a hidden secret.
After the dorms closed at night, the
freshmen could convince security to
let them in the upperclassmen dorms
where the mascot would be an-
nounced. The freshmen would put a
decoration representing their mascot
on the upperclassmen's doors, and
later the other classes would deck ev-
eryone*s dorm room doors with their
mascot decorations. For example, one
freshman class chose Harvey the In-
visible Rabbit as their mascot, and
they taped whiskers and ears on dorm
doors announcing their unique choice.
So by the end of Black Cat the dorm
room doors were covered with mascot
decorations and Happy Black Cat
wishes. The tradition of the secretive-
ness of the freshmen's mascot and the
sophomore mission to discover it be-
gan with the same class that stole Ah-
woo for the first time.
The bonfire began as a pep rally the
Thursday before the first hockey
game and was held where the tennis
courts are today. Then, like today, the
sophomore class guessed the fresh-
men's mascot and the freshmen re-
sponded. Also, college songs were sung
by the classes but were not judged. At
some point, these songs were changed
to be sister class songs, and still there
was a requirement of originality. By
this time, it was suggested that one
year be a "fast year" and the next a
"slow year," indicated by fast, peppy
songs and slow, sweet songs. Songs
during Black Cat were once so popular
that sister class and college songs
were printed and sung at Black Cat
and for years after their debut.
During the I960*s, as the hazing and
the keeping of the secret became
more of a battle between the opposing
classes: juniors vs. seniors and fresh-
men vs. sophomores. Mortar Board be-
came more and more involved with
Black Cat, even though it had been
indirectly involved with events during
Black Cat for some time. Since 1903 it
had been an overseer of the festivities
with the purpose of insuring a fun-
filled weekend, while discouraging
hazing. In more recent times, the class
of I973's Mortar Board chapter decid-
ed to make Black Cat a more extrava-
gant weekend, and so they held the
first Black Cat formal off-campus at
the Sheraton Biltmore. And thus began
our traditional off-campus Black Cat
Formal.
The tradition of the sophomore pre-
sentation to the freshmen of the Black
Kitty is very recent. The original Black
Kitty was metal with a string of bells
around its neck and resided in Inman
lobby, and it too mysteriously disap-
peared. Inman lobby also seems to
have been the beginning (and mysteri-
ous ending???) of another Black Cat
tradition: that cigar-store-become-
demigod Indian — AHWOOII
An all-important question that
comes to mind is just where did Ah-
woo come from, and where is the
original Ahwoo now??? In other words,
what is so great about Ahwoo? Ah-
woo's ASC life began as a coffee table
decoration for Inman lobby in the early
lOeCs. But Awwoo did not remain in
the lobby long. Some third Walters
sophomores kidnapped him and made
a shrine to the once cigar-store Indian.
Needless to say, the Inman Scotties
were upset, so Dr. Alston decided to
lock him up in the registrar's vault. At
this point, the Indian was nameless un-
til Laura Steele crowned him Ahwoo
for no special reason. So Ahwoo had
his name, and his followers stormed
the President's office, armed with wa-
ter guns and bandana masks and de-
manded the Indian. Following the suc-
cessful recovery of Ahwoo by the
Class of 1966, he disappeared. In the
early 1970's, two ASC alumni — Mary
Jane and Becky King — found Ahwoo
in their attic. They were not sure how
and why they came to be so blessed.
For two years following the redisco-
very, Ahwoo sat in the window of the
Dean of Student's conference room,
wishing for more excitement in his
life. In 1979, Angela Grover spearhead-
ed his kidnapping, and from then on
the current Ahwoo traditions have de-
veloped.
Ahwoo mysteriously disappeared
during spring quarter of 1981, reappear-
ing in the fall with a second Ahwoo —
the Club Med Ahwoo, an imposter that
had to be returned because the Class
of 1983 had an overdue Mastercard bill.
This year, Ahwoo again disappeared,
with rumors that he is somewhere in
Main's cob-webbed attic or some-
where in Atlanta. In Atlanta! What
good does that do? Without any luck
in finding him, the class of 1984 spent
an entire day sculpting and painting a
new Ahwoo. It took eight fans blowing
for 24 hours to dry his new war paint
before his presentation at the Black
Cat Production on Friday night! And
what an appropriate gift for the sen-
iors of the Class of 1983. The original
Ahwoo is gone for the time being, and
the new Ahwoo is here to stay — but
for how long?? In addition to a new
ceramic Ahwoo, the Class of 1983 had a
first — a flesh-and-blood Ahwoo in the
brave maiden Cathy Zurek.
It is ironic that many of our Black
Cat traditions evolved from reactions
to the fall quarter hazing between the
classes and especially directed toward
the freshmen. Each strategic move to-
wards a more pleasant orientation for
freshmen and reorientation for upper-
classmen was coupled with a strategic
hazing endeavor by the students. We
see Black Cat today as a busy, fun-
filled week encouraging school spirit,
sisterhood and union within and
among the classes. We see Black Cat
as a fun way to end freshmen orienta-
tion and to make everyone, especially
the freshmen and transfers, feel a part
of Agnes Scott — its old and new tra-
ditions.

THE JOY OF
STUDY!!
Study. It is what we, as students
of Agnes Scott, spend a portion
of each day doing. It's that non-
extra-curricular activity, that required
class, necessary for the earning of a
B.A. One junior defined it as "Death
and Dying," while a sophomore in-
formed the Silhouette staff that
"Studying is ... a Tab, a book, and
time (in that order)."
hifec'cioiis studying has many symp-
tGrr,s-. baggy eyes, caffeine jitters,
dragging limbs and dormant brains —
all of which are caused by general
overexposure to academic material.
More than one Scottie has been seen
battling sleep through classes after a
dreaded "all-nighter." An al!-nighter.
as one senior put it simply, is "Pro-
scrastination." One junior announced
that an all-nighter is something only
freshmen and sophs do really well."
One lucky freshman answered confi-
dently, "I haven't had one yet." We
shall see what we shall seel
When it comes to the location as-
signed to the unhealthy habit of study-
ing, Scotties seem to have varied opin-
ions. Unsurprisingly enough though,
Walters (specifically second floor Wal-
ters) reigns as the worst dorm to
study in. Rebelliousness to academia
abounds there. Although one senior
mentioned Hanson Residence Hall at
Georgia Tech as the worst dorm to
study in. Are you surprised? The toss
"Study is anything
you do while holding
a book."
— Junior
up between Main and Rebekah as the
best dorms to study in was also ex-
pected. This fact should not be con-
strued to mean that juniors and espe-
cially seniors study more than fresh-
men and sophomores. Quite the con-
trary! Underclassmen are just noisier
about it. One senior noted that
Denny's was the best place to study. A
junior put it quite another way: "The
best place to study is an isolation
booth. The worst place is Agnes Scott
College." The library ranked in both
extremes as the best and worst place
to study. As one junior put it: "The
best place to study is the library when
it's not hot. The worst place to study is
the library when it's hot." Is this a
hint?
As for the best and worst times to
study, answers ranged from between
5.00 pm to 5:00 am. Most assuredly
though, the best times to study are
when your mind is awake and before
the test. The worst times to study are
during class, after the test, or durng
Happy hour.
How do you stay awake to study?
For many Scotties this was an easy
one. A junior sums it up with the simple
statement, "I don't." Other alterna-
tives include what one freshman called
"massive caffeine" (In other words —
coffee. Coke, tea, and No-Doz). One
sure fire way to stay awake during
studying is obvious, one Scottie point-
ed out: "Get lots of sleep."
The final inquiries of the Silhouette
Questionaire pointed towards some
problems and pet peeves Agnes Scott
students have when they study. Over-
whelmingly, response to this was inter-
ruptions, including loud stereos, ob-
noxious laughter, lingering visitors,
people chewing gum in the library, pro-
crastination, and loud librarians. For
one junior, "getting started" is a pet
peeve. In general, studying itself
"Studying is a
refined technique
of losing sleep, hair,
sanity, and gaining
weight."
— Senior
seems to be the pet peeve of most
Agnes Scott students. But, like the
food at Letitia Pate, you've got to live
with it.
Do Scotties put up with loud dorms,
red eyes, and numb brains merely for
the sake of learning? Sometimes it's all
in an effort to feel better about them-
selves when they're not studying — in
other words enjoying themselves. Ac-
cording to one freshman, "The ant-
onym of studying is 'living it up'."
Need we say more?
GDE TO 4\ PQPGGRN PQPPER
(With apologies to John Keats)
Thou unacclaimed bride of golden corn,
Thou foster child of a junk food generation
Social historians either praise or mourn
A custom so beloved by our nation.
What electrical legend haunts about thy shape
Of Scientists or after-work inventors
Who strove thy noble purpose to ordain;
Who sought more efficient production of thy fuel.
What mad pursuit? What struggle to create?
Yet when they their strivings won, what ecstasyl
Heard melodies are sweet, but thy small pops
Are sweeter> therefore, ye popper, pop on;
Not only to mine ear, but even more.
Play to the stomach ditties that rumble low.
Fair popper, upon the floor, thou canst not leave
Thy song, no radio or record can thee replace.
Bold popper, never, sadly, canst thou taste
Though popping brings thee close, yet do not grieve
Thy value is unmeasured) thy purpose clear:
Forever shalt thou pop, and corn be there.
And, happy melodist, unwearied
Forever popping corn forever sweet;
More tasty corn! More snow-white, crunchy corn!
Forever warm and still to be enjoyed
Forever salty, crisp, forever good.
Who are these coming to the popping corn?
To what bright room, O mysterious priest
Leadst thou these girls sniffing at the air.
All in warm sweats and pajamas dressed?
What other rooms by stairwell or phone's ring
Or bathroom's constant running water noise
Are emptied of their folk this chilly eve?
And, sprawling dorm, thy halls forevermore
Shall silent be, and not a soul to tell
Why thou art desolate — mouths being filled with lucious corn,
O rounded shape! Dome lid and shallow pan!
With slender cord attached to thy side.
With hard, raised plastic thy cover spells thy name.
With chrome thy sturdy base thy workings hide.
Thou cheery form: thou priceless study guide
When old age shall college memories fade
Thou shalt remain amidst our other lives
And with thee to, a shadow of the friends
Then made and cherished still; with thee
And them we learned all we'd ever need to know.

I Thinh It's Out To Get fTlE

GOOD HOT TOAST "

"THIS IS OUR LATEST MODEL —

WHILE-U-WAIT."
Women Versus Machine
imagine a typical day at good oie Agnes: You're all
out of clean underwear, you're late getting ready for
a date, and you're down to your last twenty-five
cents. The washing machine either
a) Steals your quarter
b) Gets tired and breaks right before the rinse
cycle.
If some of us do accomplish getting our laundry
done, we are only to be thwarted in the dining hall or
at the Xerox machine. Having managed to scrape
most of the burnt crumbs from the toast, or to wipe
about 750 of the lOCX) islands from our sleeve, we
stroll liesurely to the library to copy some notes, only
to discover that
a) The Xerox machine is jammed, broken, or in the
process of repair
b) Out of paper
Having been thoroughly frustrated, we decide to get
a Coke to calm our nerves. Obligingly the Coke ma-
chine
a) is out of Coke
b) is hot-tempered and decides to warm our drink
up for us
c) needs a small loan
"Will it never end?" we ask ourselves in frustration.
As we slide our modern and convenient key-cards
through the lock on our dorm doors for the seventh
time without result, the future does indeed appear
bleak.
Perhaps a nice cup of tea would help our depres-
sion. Finally in the dorm, it will only take a minute to
boil a hot pot of water. Well, that was easily enough
done, but we are either
a) delayed in the lobby to watch the last few
minutes of "The Guiding Light"
b) stuck in an elevator that can't make up its mind
whether business is looking up or down
In any case, we get back to our trusty hot pot just in
time to keep it from exploding.
About to explode ourselves, we decide the best
thing to do would be to simply crawl into bed and
take a nap. Now where's that pillow? ...
"NOW I KNOW THAT
SOCK IS IN HERE SOME-
WHERE ..."
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
REALLY WRAPPED UP IN A
PAPER?"
f tioord t^o
It's early morning and you're
having the strangest dream: it sounds
almost as if a train is thundering by right
through your room. The whistle blows urgently,
the windows shake and rattle, with a start, you wake
up and realize that it's only the faithful 5:00 am Express
making its usual peaceful run through Decatur. But whoever
thought of building a college right next to the railroad tracks
ought to be shotl As you drift back to sleep, the thought
occurs that you didn't set your alarm. No matter. About 6:00
the radiator clanks, crashes into life, leaving you to plead
defenselessly for quiet — never mind the cold. The remain-
ing hour that might have been used most profitably for sleep
is disrupted by alarms of all beeps and whistles, and by radio
announcers and music of all descriptions, though Z-93's Gary
McKee does seem to echo over all the rest.
By now, of course, you have the squishing of flip-flops to
and from the shower, the ear-piercing screeches of water
faucets and cries of, "OUCH! Yell 'Hot Water!' next time.!" as
well as the squeaking of the hall door being open and shut on
the way to class or breakfast.
As you can tell, anyone who has lived at Agnes Scott comes
to expect bizarre, unexpected, and irritating sounds.
Take the quarterly fire drill for example. (No, Marcia, that
is not your alarm!) No amount of donuts from Krispy Kreme
can remedy the irreparable heart damage done by the dread-
ed wail of that horn.
Then there are the hall phones that ring incessantly,
(strange that with a hall full of girls there is no one home to
answer); there are the constant sirens, (How many emergen-
cies can greater Decatur have in one day?)
Then of course there are the chimes signalling the end of a
long night's study in the library, (Did you ever fall asleep and
"Greetings from your hard-working, early-rising
friends in the Physical Plant. Calisthenics are at
7:00."

Did you ever fall asleep in the library and

wake up thinking you had died and gone to heaven?)
A great spot for noise is our beloved Letitia Pate Evans
dining hall. The clatter of dishes and trays is enough to make
anyone's head spin, let along someone banging on a glass
with her spoon to make an announcement, rounds of "We are
tired old seniors" or the unforgettable shouts and protests of
lavaliered/pinned/engaged Scotties about to make a splash
in the Alumnae Pond.
On an average night, the rhythm of clicking typewriters
and popping corn fills the hall. The noise coming from one
room can be anything: aerobics sessions presided over by
Jane Fonda or Richard Simmons records spinning enthusiasti-
cally on the stereO) shagging lessons punctuated by giggles
and thumpsi or an enthusiastic discussion on what kind of
pizza to order. Of course, sometimes there is the low murmer
of two or more voices studying together earnestly, or the
shrill high-pitched sounds of argument. Ail are often echoed
by a "Shut upl Don't you know what quiet hours are?" from an
irritated Scottie across the hall.
If you live by the stairwell, across from the bathroom or
next to the kitchen, you get the added bonus of hearing any
conversation you like, at all hours, whether you want to or
not. And everyone is accustomed to the thumps from above.
Why the girls upstairs had to rearrange their furniture the
night before your mid-term is beyond comprehension.
Fridays and Saturdays bring cries of "Man on the hall!"
while we try to drown out each other's stereos.
Odd as they are, the sounds of Scott definitely help mold
your college memories . . . and make quite an impression on
your eardrumsl

"Billy's"
50) Scale the wails of Buttrick
RETURN TO COLLEGE
The Great Tug-Of-War
"I guess the hardest part of
being an RTC is the tug-of-war
one's life becomes — the school
work on one end, the family on
the other, and me stretched to
the snapping point between the
two."
"An RTC's intellect, eyelids,
and bottom have dropped con-
siderably and alarmingly since
her former school days. Her spir-
it, however, remains mysterious-
ly young."
"I will never have to give my
children a lecture on the value of
an education. I will never make
the mistake of pressuring my
children about grades — not
when I know they will insist on
seeing mine!"
"My first quarter here, I in-
dulged in some sticky self-pity. I
was going through a divorce and
I felt no one could be suffering
as I was. Then one day I saw a
freshman coming apart with
homesickness, and I realized that
I wasn't the only one with a
struggle."
"If I hear one more time, "Oh
but just think how valuable your
years of experience in living will
be in your studies; I will do
something irrational S unlady-
like."
"I can tell when my mother
has a headache because she gets
grouchy and she has black lines
under her eyes. I tell her to take
three hours to study and call me
in the morning."
RETURN TO COLLEGE
Realizing That We Can
RTC's are any non-traditional age
students who return to college after an
interruption of their formal education.
The RTC at Agnes Scott goes through
an application and interview process
much like that of any prospective
freshman, and she must meet the re-
quirements for proven academic abili-
ty and commitment. An RTC may take
as little as one course at a time or she
may plunge in with a full course load.
depending on her readiness, financial
situation, and the demands of her fam-
ily and/or career. Some RTC's are sin-
gle, some are wives, some are mothers,
some are already established in a ca-
reer. Some have previous college cred-
its some have never before set foot in a
college classroom. The common de-
nominators in all RTC's are that they
want to learn, they want to grow, and
they're scared out of their wits for the
first quarter or two at Agnes Scott.
RTC's possess the unshakeabie convic-
tion that everyone else at Agnes
Scott is astoundingiy brilliant, orga-
nized, and unswervingly set on the
path of the work of the college class-
room. They feel that 5, 10, 30, or 30
years out of a classroom is a handicap
— and there is certainly some initial
justification for this fear — but by the
end of their second quarter here, most
RTC's have computerized the sorting
of dirty laundry, polished and oiled
rusty study skills, learned to cook 30
lb. turkeys (with all the trimmings) in
just 15 minutes, and have brought home
at least one "A" — to the amazement
(and occasionally, the consternation)
of family and friends alike.
Like every other student, RTC's
have goals; however, there is an essen-
tial difference in the approach to
goals. Traditional age students (note
how one never says younger students
'- older students or, God forbid, ma-
•' !^ it'denrs) think of goals like a long
h'ghway lazing across the
onal age student thinks,
'' -^^e in Kansas-, maybe I'll
igp^Pip to North Dakota to
^r ?*'»' <'^- therei then I'll get
back on the road somewhere around
I987i but if I meet Mr, Right along the
way, I'll adjust my itinerary according-
ly ..." The RTC, on the other hand,
may have already been to Kansas and
North Dakota. Her plans are made
around the constant threat of running
out of gas, and her itinerary is laid out
in single pages rather than large units,
instead of thinking in terms of 1984,
she tends to think of how to get
through Monday before Tuesday ar-
rives.
RTC's usually do not have much time
for socializing, but they do form close
friendships on campus. They hold
weekly support group meetings. These
meetings are informal, and the time
there is used in anyway the group
chooses or needs to spend it. Atten-
dance varies with people's needs and
schedules. Topics range from some-
thing as mundane as where to find a
Xerox machine to something as heavy
as how to work through personal cri-
ses. The meetings are always attended
by Mrs. Miriam Drucker, who has
made and kept a commitment to be
with the RTC's in any way that she can
be of service. Mrs. Drucker has been a
loving shot of B-12 to many a run-down
psyche.
RTC's may attend college for enrich-
ment purposes only, or they may be on
a tight schedule to achieve a specific
career goal. They may come to Scott
knowing exactly what they want, or
they may vacillate until the last possi-
ble moment before making a decision
on a major. In general, though, RTC's
are hampered not by indecision, but by
a deep, all-encompassing enthusiasm
for learning. They tend to enjoy a// the
courses they take. RTC's get no special
favors in the classroom) they fulfill the
same requirements as traditional age
students.
RTC's have a superb track record at
Agnes Scott. They get good grades,
despite children who wake up the
night before an exam with the flu.
Many complete their college work and
earn the Bachelor's Degree, for which
they should receive a minimum of four
curtain calls and a standing ovation.
RTC's have made the Honor Roll, Phi
Beta Kappa, Dana Scholars, Mortar
Board; they have made contributions
to their campus in many ways.
One might wonder why, if these
women are so capable, they "failed" to
complete their educations sooner. The
individual reasons vary, but in my gen-
eration, they seem to boil down to lack
of support for any ambition that led
away from home. Those who did com-
plete college were either "hard-core
cases" or doing it "simply for enrich-
ment purposes" — often meaning, as a
prop for the career of a college-edu-
cated husband. It is difficult to convey
to present-day young women how the
systems of society cooperated in
keeping women out of school. An RTC
presently attending Scott tells a tale of
attending high school during World
War II — and being forbidden to take
math, because there were few math
teachers available (the math teachers
were male and had put down their pen-
cils to take up arms.) The rationale was
that the available math resources were
best invested in boys! Furthermore,
the woman who wanted college or ca-
reer had a bitter choice to make —
either career orfgimily. With little day
care available, resistance from veter-
nas who returned from the war to re-
claim their "rightful" place in the mar-
ket, and an array of low-paying, mo-
notonous, dead-end jobs reserved for
women, it is little wonder that most
opted for a gilded cage in the suburbs.
The challenge taken up by the RTC is
awesome. She must overcome the ex-
pectations and restrictions of the past,
ignore or compromise the pressures of
the present, and beat a new path into
uncharted territory. If you think her
struggle is hers alone because she is
older and a product of an archaic sys-
tem, look again . . . and take your
place in line, because that "old lady" is
you.

Discover Decatur

Home Away
From Home
It was my first walk away from Agnes
Scott and into Decatur that stamped indel-
ible images of the South onto my conscious-
ness. I, a Westerner, who had learned never
to speak or expect to be spoken to by any-
one who wasn't a close acquaintance, was
greeted first by an elderly gentleman who
greeted me, "Hello, young lady, isn't it a
beautiful day for a walk?" And later a busy
housecleaner sweeping her front porch
called out to wish me a good day.
Well, there have been other walks too, to
Watson's Drugstore, a haven for genera-
tions of sniffling Scottiesi to other busin-
esses which always seem to recognize with
a special cordiality any Agnes Scott student.
Such openness and recognition by the Deca-
tur community has contributed much to this
writer's first favorable impressions, and
have continued to add fuel to the flames of
her enthusiastic response.
There have been the weary afternoons
after exams, when everyone else was either
gone or studying madly, when foot-loose
and car-less I've made my way into town on
a journey of discovery. A music store with
the best selection of classical guitar music
I've ever come across is nestled close by the
MARTA station, and a print shop that
amused me with ships and fairy tale figures
for over an hour is right next door.
Several buildings in Decatur hold special
memories of my life at Agnes Scott — Con-
versations has been the setting of a get-
together with a favorite class and professor,
lunch with a little sister, a meeting concern-
ing business with the Silhouette and dessert
on the night of Capping. And of course, the
Freight Room has been a refuge for many
restless Scotties, a place for fresh salads,
heavenly hot pretzels and special talk.
Decatur is the home of my church, and so
shares with me another important part of
my life.
Perhaps the greatest aspect of its charm
is the fact that Decatur expansively offers
the accesibility of Atlanta. Either by MARTA
or by car, Atlanta is so close that its south-
ern suburb is often subject to neglect. And
while it is not a great cosmopolitan center,
neither does it pretend to be. Instead, six
miles away from the hub of the Southeast,
Decatur offers visitors and residents a
neighborhood spirit, and it invites a some-
times homesick Scottie to make Decatur her
hometown away from home.

Arts Council
Arts Council really had
an extremely productive
year. The Arts Evenings, in
their second year, contin-
ued to successfully provide
easy ticket access and
transportation to some of
Atlanta's top cultural
events, such as perfor-
mances at the Alliance The-
ater and by the Atlanta
Chamber Players. In the fall,
the council took students to
see the Judy Chicago ex-
hibit at the Fox. Winter
quarter the focus of Arts
Council was on the Ballet.
Arts Council represented
the Agnes Scott "Arts" in
the Mardis Gras held at
Stone Mountain with dis-
plays, a slide show and stu-
dent works. In the spring,
involvement of the Arts >
Council include representa-
tion at the Chiaquiae Ball
and the Arts Fair.

Blackfriars
As well as being the oldest
club on campus, Blackfriars is
also the oldest continuous per-
forming theatrical unit in At-
lanta. Membership in the club
is obtained by working a total
of twenty-five hours on a pro-
duction during the quarter.
Each year Blackfriars pre-
sents a major production in
the fall and spring quarters.
During the winter quarter,
which is highlighted by the
Children's Show, a series of
one-act, student-directed
plays are presented. This
year's major fail production,
The Rimers of Eldritch, was a
huge success. The play pre-
sented activities of the people
of Eldritch, a small former
mining town in the Midwest.
Likewise, The Congress-
women, written by Aristoph-
anes, the major production of
the spring quarter, was suc-
cessful. Four student-directed
one-act plays presented in the
winter included: Maggie and

Phi Sigma Tau
The basic supposition of Phi
Sigma Tau, a philosphical Honor
Society, is that dialectic brings
forth fresh ideas, a new perspec-
tive, and enriched intellectual
life. There are relatively few Phi-
losophy majors at Agnes Scott,
and yet most of the students
here do take at least one course
in philosophy. It seems that we
are curious about philosophy —
about how other people have
dealt with questions concerning
the existence of God, the defini-
tion of justice, the reason for
evil, etc. With Phi Sigma Tau, all
who are interested in philosophy
are able to meet, share, and
learn. Thus, we are encouraging
the pursuit of Agnes Scott's goal:
to attain wisdom and truth.

Christian
Association
On thinking back over our Ag-
nes Scott years, I think that we
will find that many things that
seemed so important to us at one
time, now seem unimportant.
One thing, though, will remain a
strong memory: friendships. And
in a word, I think, that is what
best describes CA — friend-
ships.
On the outside, CA consists of
many aspectsj large group meet-
ings, Bible studies, service pro-
jects. Yet underlying all those ac-
tivities is the one thing that
counts and outlasts all things —
friendships. For we are a group
of young women, a group of
friends, whose friendship is
based on a friendship with Jesus
Christ, and our goal is to pro-
claim that all can have friendship
with Christ: "God . . . changed
us from enemies into His friends
and gave us the task of making
others his friends also." (2 Corin-
thians 5:18). So if CA stands for
Christian Association, then
Christian Association stands for
friendship.

Spirit Committee is a name
which provokes both mystery
and excitement on campus. Re-
maining anonymous, they tiptoed
about using such code words as
"going jogging" and "spiffy"
while spreading happiness across
campus. President Beth Gilreath
sayS: "The purpose of spirit com-
mittee is to make students say,
'Wow, this is going to be a really
neat dayl"' They are also respon-
sible for saluting outstanding
seniors each week. In the words

ERT
Not too many years ago, the
administration of ASC decided
that the students needed to be
exposed to the business world. In
order to accomplish this goal,
several typewriters were pur-
chased for the students to use.
Now, in 1983, we have an organi-
zation on campus that is really
making an attempt to form a link
between the business community
and Agnes Scott. At weekly
meetings, ERT discusses such
ideas as establishing connections
in the business community. Stu-
dents have a chance to establish
contacts that will benefit them
for years to come.

Ulrike Zeyse (left) of Hamburg is
the German assistant. She enjoys
taking classes at ASC that she
would not be able to take in Ger-
many. She says the teachers are
very good. The main disadvantage
is that all the students are womeni
Ulrike prefers the liveliness of a city
like Hamburg to Atlanta, though she
loves the scenery in the South. She
was trained in banking before com-
ing to ASC, and her future plans
may include job-huntingi
Francoise Picaronny is from Par-
is, France. She studied French and
German at the Sorbonne Nouvelle.
She likes ASC, but like Ulrike, she
finds the "all-women" atmosphere
confining. While she dislikes the ra-
cial tension and political apathy in
the US, she enjoys its variety of cli-
mates, landscapes and people.
Kathy Nelson's fluency in Spanish
and interest in the Spanish culture
enabled her to become the Spanish
assistant. She lives on the Spanish
hall, and conducts Tertulias and La
Mesa Redonda to help students be-
come more fluent. Kathy is planning
for a career in international banking
or with a multinational corporation
where she can continue to use her
Spanish skills.

In 1897. the Aurora and the Silhou-

the preface to that book, the Editor-
in-Chief notes that in the introduction
to the 1896 annual (called the Aurora)
it had been mentioned that "no South-
ern School for girls had ever before
attempted to send out an annual." In
memory of the first annuals published
at Agnes Scott, here is a poem written
by the /Aurora sEditor, Margaret Ship-
pen.
Party at the Polo Fields July II. 1982
Polo fields
Are no place for sandals.
Especially in a downpour
When everyone is under
One or two Aaron Rents tents.
And this boy in a maroon
Izod shirt and khaki pants —
his blond hair a little too long —
Is your date.
But it's not as if you've never seen
him before.
When you both were two.
You had your baby names
For each other
And you had your little sisters
Who really weren't
Any trouble at all.
They both sat quietly as
You stepped over their heads
Just to see if you could do it
and to see if your mothers would
respond.
You laughed together then
And you both are laughing now
Even though
You haven't seen each other
In five years or so.
And now he with
A plastic cup of beer in his hand
And you with your muddy
Broken shoes in yours are hopping
and running
In the rain over the puddles.

councilors make certain that
residents are aware of rules and
policies, and enforce them. They
also make certain that the dorms
are safe, through observation of
the lock system and quarterly
fire drills. The dorm councils are
responsible also for a bit of fun.
They plan dorm parties during
exams and other times during
the year, and provide doughnuts
at late-night fire drills.

Both Orientation Council and
Rep Council are invaluable to the
students at Agnes Scott. Orien-
tation Council, of which Mary
Jane Golding is Chairman, in-
sures a smooth transition for Ag-
nes Scott freshmen to college.
Their job begins in the summer
with the Big Sister program. Up-
perclassmen are paired with a
newcomer to whom they write
letters before school begins.
When the freshmen arrive on
campus their Big Sisters help
them get acquainted with life
here. Orientation Council also
provides activities to help the
freshmen get acquainted with
one another and initiates them
into both academic and social
life.
Rep Council is the student leg-
islative body. Members repre-
sent the interests of boarding
students, day students, and
RTC's in making decisions which
concern life on both and off cam-
pus. Actions passed this year in-
clude changing banking hours

Members of Social Council out-
did themselves this year to pro-
vide exciting "extracurricular
activities" for the campus com-
munity. The fall quarter began
with a street dance where Scot-
ties were able to mix with young
men from Emory, Georgia Tech,
and Columbia Seminary, as well
as others. Of course, there were
various TGIF parties, with
themes ranging from Western to
"Purple Passionl" Highlighting
fall quarter was the Black Cat
Formal at the Peachtree Plaza
Hotel. Music by Lloyd Hinson S
the Highlanders helped mark a
return to the more formal Black
Cat Dances of Agnes Scott's
past. Black ties and taffeta were
abundant as we danced to the
swingy sounds of the Big Band
era.
Winter and Spring quarters
meant more TGIF's, band parties,
and, of course, the Spring Formal.
Many thanks to Penny Baynes
and Social Council for offering
much needed diversions from
the academic grindl

"»-«
President Ruth Schmidt is the
first woman president of Agnes
Scott's ninety-four year history,
and has brought the college a
great deal of publicity. She feels it
is "a great plus" to have a woman
in charge, and has received a
great deal of support from
alumnae. Being a woman at the
top provides a role model for
students and is a confirmation of
the ideals and philosophy of the
college.
As is true for all of us at Agnes
Scott during fall quarter. President
Schmidt found the first weeks of
the 1982-83 session hecticj it
seemed to pass by in a blur of
activity. Agnes Scott was as new
to President Schmidt as to the
class of 1986, and she had to
devote her energies to
acquainting herself not only with
five hundred new faces of
students, but with an entirely new
way of life. As she says, "I am
looking forward to the sophomore
feeling."
One of the first and strongest
traditions President Schmidt
encountered was Black Cat. Each
fall the campus is flung into a
pandemonium which climaxes with
the bonfire, games, and Black Cat
production. Her impression was
positive. She sees Black Cat as a
good way to promote class spirit,
and she loved the Black Kitties.
All day, she said, they came into
her office to visit, leaving little
notes on her desk. President
Schmidt says Black Kitties, along
with Black Cat. satisfy the need
to "get out of the humdrum."
President Schmidt says that as
president, "I think I am here to
affirm what Agnes Scott is. It is
necessary for all of us to agree on
the mission of the college. We
need to approach the question,
'What does it mean to be liberally
educated in the twenty-first
century?"' To be liberally
educated involves learning to
think critically, but president
Schmidt stresses the importance
of learning "computing as well as
writing." Indeed, during winter
quarter, students were surveyed
about their experience with
computers and their opinions of
their value.
President Schmidt also feels it
is important that students are
taught "to think in an open
fashion. Graduates of Agnes Scott
should not be conformers, rather
they should shape their
environment."
To advance this belief, informal
convocations were held, and
speakers were invited to discuss
such controversial and current
issues as the nuclear arms race,
world hunger, participation in
government, and poverty.
Looking forward to the future.
President Schmidt believes Agnes
Scott can become a better
institution if enrollment is
increased slightly. She is of the
opinion that everything we value
as an institution of higher learning
should be open to all women, and
that we should never become "too
closed in." It is important, she
feels, that the college always
remains "aware of the world and
our part in making it a better
place."
Serving as the president of an
academic institution is a job filled
with obligations, responsibilities
and pressure, and it is definitely
not nine-to-fivel During winter
quarter. President Schmidt
traveled extensively in order to
fulfill a pledge to alumnae to get
acquainted with them and
exchange ideas and input.
Along with her duties as
president and all the office work
that her job entails. President
Schmidt must also involve herself
in activities on campus and
become acquainted with the
students at Agnes Scott. She has
made herself accessible to
students in a number of ways.
whether by responding to them
courteously and thoroughly at
informational convocations, to
roller-skating with them in the
gym to breakfasting with them on
Wednesday mornings, talking
about issues from food, to
furnishings, to what a liberal arts
education really means. "In order
to achieve any of our goals,"
declares President Schmidt, "we
need a spirit of cohesion." As she
sees it, the college must develop a
"sense of wholeness."
The job this tall, slender and
engaging woman has undertaken
can hardley be labelled an easy
one. However, her straight-
forward manner, her high
expectations of college women
and her commitment to issues
that reach far beyond the brick
wall surrounding Agnes Scott are
impressive, and indicate success
for the president of one of the
leading women's colleges in the
South.
The staff, faculty and student
body extend a warm welcome to
President Schmidt, and wish her
well in her first year as a woman
at the top.

A Woman
At The Top
5§6/ Administration And Staff
Dr. Ruth
Schmidt:
Fifteenth
President
Of ASC
If you have noticed a viviacious, dark-haired
woman lugging a video camera across campus, it
was probably Linda Hilsenrad, the director of the
ASC Media Resource Center. But Ms. Hilsenrad
does more than just videotape most speakers and
events that come to Agnes Scott. A vital part of
her job is to "work with the academic depart-
ments and meet their media needs."
Ms. Hilsenrad came to ASC five years ago, after
completing her B.A. and M.A. at the University of
Florida. Although as an undergraduate she had
planned to enter a career in sociology, the encour-
agement of a professor led her into the field of
educational media.
Since Ms. Hilsenrad's arrival at ASC, the Media
Center has grown and the equipment has become
more sophisticated. The addition of a color cam-
era is just one example.
Ms. Hilsenrad's dreams for the ideal Media
Center "include inter-active video, the marriage
of computer-assisted instruction and video se-
quences either on video tape or videodisc. This
would make the media center more accessible to
students, and would also provide a student with
additional instruction in a given course at her own
pace."
In addition to providing media services at ASC,
Ms. Hilsenrad also motivates students to become
more involved in media-related areas. This year
she helped some of her student assistants launch
a video club. "I wanted the students to start it on
their own, first, so that they could feel like they
had really accomplished something on their own.
Then I was ready to help any way I could."
Linda Hilsenrad is a source of constant encour-
agement and just as valuable a resource as any
video machine or a hundred tapes in the language
lab.

years. He is a native of Decatur and graduated
from Decatur High School, across the street from
Agnes Scott. Lt. Blanton sees the job of the cam-
pus police as being more comprehensive than a
county or municipal law enforcement officer. He
thinks that "Campus law enforcement is different
from metropolitan policing because the officers
have to be more liberal in their decisions. The
simple fact that an officer is dealing with people
in higher education makes the job many-faceted."
Lt. Blanton stated that the police academy in-
struction includes some legal training and differ-
ent techniques of self-defense, but does not cover
the extra nuances of campus law enforcement
that are learned on the job.
He explained the difference in attitude of cam-
pus-oriented police work. "The job of a campus
police officer is not to arrest everyone that breaks
a law, a rule, or a city ordinance. We are not out to
give criminal records. We are trying to help peo-
ple on this campus — and a lot of times are not
appreciated for this.
"We do much more than just check buildings.
There is a pride within the department that our
officers are trained to carry out much more than
just policing. For example, there are occasions
when students need assistance in dealing with
dates on campus and this requires good judge-
ment on the part of the officer.
"Some people have the idea that we are only
campus security guards, but the truth of the mat-
ter is that we are trained individuals, certified
with the state of Georgia to carry out and enforce
ordinances of the city and county. We do have
the power to make arrests at our descretion. How-
ever, we prefer to deal directly one on one or
through the administrative channels with the is-
sue. Sometimes this is not feasible."
Lt. Blanton views the numbers of the Agnes
Scott student body as an intelligent, opinionated,
and highly motivated group of women.
"I have met and dealt with many different indi-
viduals of the student body during my six years
here. I have never met a better group of young
ladies with such different points of view. It is
overwhelming to listen to individuals and see how
they mature over four years.
However, I see the toll that the academic pres-
sure had on these girls who made straight A's in
high school. It is encouraging, though, to see those
students who think they can't make it stick to and
develop their goals and eventually succeed." —

Dr. McNair has been a familiar figure on the Agnes
Scott campus for many years. He began teaching at
Agnes Scott in 1952. He was Associate Professor of
English for twenty-five years, and for twenty-three
years he was a member of the administrative staff.
Today Dr. McNair is unofficially the college Historian.
This is a volunteer position, as Dr. McNair was asked
by former president Marvin Perry to write the history
of Agnes Scott College. Dr. McNair has been busy
collecting all the necessary facts, and the manuscript
has been sent to press. His book should be out in print
by sometime next spring.
Dr. McNair has some firm ideas about the way
things should be around here. For example, he insists
that Agnes receive full credit and due honor as the
namesake of this institution. "Now don't you go arounc
calling Agnes Scott "Aggie" or Scott" or (heaven
forbid) "Agony Spot." It's Agnes Scott, and you need
both those words together!"
Dr. McNair is an interesting and witty speaker, and
he enjoys speaking to Scotties about how it used to be
here, just the same way he'll most likely tell future
Scotties about the strange things we are all doing now.

Dorm Parents:
Doctors, Lawyers, Counselors, Friends
Ms. Karen Grantham, more commonly known
around campus as "Miss G", holds an important
and necessary position as Senior resident of
Walters dormitory. She is responsible for
approximately one hundred girls who live in the
dorm, and at the same time she is responsible
for herself as a persona and a student of Agnes
Scott.
Before she arrived at Agnes Scott in the fall
of 1981, Miss G held many jobs, ranging from
project director for N.Y. State Dept. of Mental
Hygiene to a caterer. Now, as Senior Resident,
her job extends into many different fields, she
has been called upon to be a doctor, lawyer,
psychologist, cook, dating counselor, and much
more.
Here at Agnes Scott, Miss G is not only a
Senior Resident but also a Scottie. Majoring in
music, she has homework just like the rest of
us. She feels her most worthwhile course was
the Grief and Death seminar because it taught
students how to live through death. Black Cat
was also a special time filled with out-of-the
ordinary events which created fun and
excitement in the lives of both students and
Seni<w OtMtititmt
Lydia Hooper Spears' nickname came from an
aunt five years older than herself who decided
that Cookie would be cute — when Cookie was
a baby — and the name stuck.
Cookie is a 1980 graduate of Agnes Scott,
and she majored in English and History.
Although she did not originally plan to add
English to her major, she comments that
probably Professor Bradham influenced her
most in that department. Cookie came a long
way to attend Scott — from outside Fairbanks,
Alaska, and she has never regretted her
decision, she likes Atlanta and hopes to live
here as long as possible.
Married in the fall of 1980, Cookie and Bob's
romance is too typical to be true. She and Bob
met at a Georgia Tech fraternity party when
they were sophomores, after a friend dragged
Cookie there. They become "constant
companions." Bob, an industrial engineer who is
originally from Augusta, is now a pre-med
student at Georgia State. He plans to study
medicine at Emory. Cookie is happy to be in
Atlanta, and she supports Bob in his hope to
become a surgeon.
Cookie enjoys being back at Scott. She works
in the Development Office and performs
hostess duty week nights. She comments on a
change she has noted on campus among the
students since she was a student here: women
at Scott seem more aware of career direction
and of possibilities beyond college. Cookie also
laughingly added that her husband's opinion of
the students has broadened somewhat. He now
sees the diversity within the campus, and he
enjoys getting to know the students around
him. Living on Second Rebekah as Senior
Residents has been fun. Cookie Spears is just
one more example of a "satisfied customer"
from Agnes Scott and an asset to the College.
Before she came to Agnes Scott, Miss Hannah
worked at Texas Women's University, where she
was dorm and food supervisor. Miss Hannah applied
to Agnes Scott and then moved here to work
because she preferred it over other places to which
she had applied and she wanted a change. Miss
Hannah was attracted to Agnes Scott because she
liked the idea of a women's college and the
Christian atmosphere of the school. Miss Hannah
feels that she relates to the girls at Agnes Scott
very well. The students respect her, and they are
considerate of themselves and of each other. She
says: "I think they're all just great."
As to her expectations for Agnes Scott, Miss
Hannah says she came to learn and progress with
the world around her and to better understand the
world. As a senior resident Miss Hannah plays many
roles. She says that she is here for whatever the
girls need: a listener, someone to come to for proper
care when they're sick, and as a counselor. Miss
Hannah doesn't take any classes at Agnes Scott,
however she is a volunteer for VA, for Meals on
Wheels, and for the Red Cross. As for the future
Miss Hannah says that she would like to travel,
perhaps to the Bahamas and around the United
States.
Up the back stairs from Winship lobby is a small
yet colorful apartment. The many plants at the
window, the varied art on the walls, the wedding
album, and pictures scattered about show the unique
tastes of the apartment's inhabitants, James and
Meryl Steel. The Steels have been senior residents in
Winship for almost two years. During this time,
James has been diligently working on his political
science dissertation and Meryl has been busy
studying for her Ph.D. in psychology. Though theirs
is a full-time job, they usually do not have difficulty
getting both school and Winship work done. "The
atmosphere at Agnes Scott is concucive to study,"
says James, who finds it easy to slip away to his
office or to the library for several hours of intensive
work. Though James and Meryl had no previous
experience of this kind before coming to Agnes
Scott, they find that they are really enjoying their
job. Meryl believes that the reason they work so well
at Agnes Scott is that they came in with open minds
and had no rigind ideas about their job. The Steels
feel they relate well to the girls and that the girls
enjoy having them around. They don't feel pressured
by demands, but are respected by Winship students,
and are considered to be good friends. In some
respects, James and Meryl miss having other
married couples close by. Meryl says they miss
entertaining and James misses having sports
acquaintances. The Steels have made many friends
here at Agnes Scott. Karen Granthem, Walters'
senior resident, and they arrived at Agnes Scott at
the same time and have become good friends. What
do the Steels plan for the future? They're not
exactly sure, but it will definitely include travel. But,
while they are here, the Steels definitely are an
important influence on Agnes Scott.

Harold Rapelje, better known as Harry to those of us who frequent
Letitia Pate, is the man who supervises almost all dining hall activities.
Harry's duties entail supervising the staff, making sure the food is
prepared and out on time, ordering needed supplies, and preparing for
any of the college's extra activities.
Before coming to Agnes Scott Harry held jobs in various and asundry
places, but almost all his jobs were connected with food. Harry worked
for fifteen years in a family-owned and operated restaurant in Michigan.
Later he owned his own retail store. Cake Art, which stocked cake
supplies and specialized in cake decorating. When asked about his
current employment Harry said: "I enjoy the whole job, even the clean-
up."
When he is not at Letitia Pate. Harry is the happpy-go-lucky bachelor
who cooks and cleans for himself. He also enjoys singing as a pastime.
One of the busiest places on campus in the evenings is the Hub snack
bar. Many a Scottie can be seen there during the P.M. study hours
taking a break for some munchies or to chat with friends and shoot a
game of pool. The snack bar stocks all types of munchies, from frozen
yogurt to doughnuts. It is the place to go when dinner at Letitia Pate is
too undigestible.
The friendly ladies who work behind the counter at the snack bar,
Linda Ray and Elaine Dillon, are responsible for supplying the ASC
campus with plenty of Tab and candy bars. They greet you pleasantly
when you come to the Hub for a Tab, and they just smile politely when
you ask for another Snickers — your third one of the evening.

Cleaning Up Your Act
There is a treasure on Second Rebekah
that is on par with that of the model of
Solomon's Temple that sits below. On
the dusky halls of the second floor
Sara's slight, upright form is always
welcome. When she is sick and unable
to come to work, the northern part of
the dorm seems gloomier, and the
south side not as bright. Sara does the
extra things, — she dusts our dressers
as well as our floorsi she watches our
laundry, and keeps track of our phone
messages. Sara is not a quiet presence: "Where's your shoes?"
She'd scold. "You can't go 'bout without no shoes onl" Or, "I can
tell when you girls got those papers. Books scattered all over
your floor, and the bed not made. But I don't touch those books,
no, sir, sometimes you girls leave them in a special order — I
just vacuum around them." Sara loves to talk about her family;
she sure is proud of her children. "And I'm proud of my girls
here. You all are just greati" She remembers all of her girls, and
nothing gives her greater pleasure than for one of them to come
back and visit. It's even better if she brings a son or daughter —
Sara Is as proud as any grandmother.

Travis Nolley has worked on Second Main
for two years. She is always cheerful,
singing or humming while she works. She
often leaves jokes or sayings on the bulle-
tin board on the door to her closet, and
brightens the hall walls with colorful post-
ers of Ziggy or kittens. Despite her occa-
sional frustration with Scotties who leave
too many of Letitla's dishes and not
enough cleanliness in the kitchen, Travis
likes getting to know the girls. She enjoys
the open feeling of a hall with doors left
ajar and girls chattering inside. What she likes most about her job
is the people she works with. When asked what is so special about
working at a college, Travis answered that she loves to be around
and listen to the girls talking about books they've read or papers
they're writing. Most of all, she likes being so close to a library,
where she can check out books to read.

Labor Relations:
More Than
Just A Class
Dr. Edward C. Johnson of Agnes
Scott's Economics Department is a man
of diverse talents. Along with lecturing
his economic classes and frequenting
the tennis courts on sunny days, he is
also an arbitrator. Although his first
case was in 1974, Dr. Johnson said that
his interest in labor and management
relations went back to his graduate
school years at the University of
Missouri in Columbia while he was
working on his Masters. One of the
requirements of the Masters program
at that time was a seminar, and Dr.
Johnson took one in "collective
bargaining" under Ralph Bauder, a man
who had been pivotal on the War Labor
Board during WWII. Although he
describes this seminar as merely a "big
herd of people," he found himself
intrigued by the whole idea of labor
relations. He went on to take another
course under Bauder in industrial
relations and from then on he says that
"[ knew in the back of my mind that I
would be an arbitrator."
Dr. Johnson did not apply to become
an arbitrator directly after he finished
his MBA, however. He worked in
business for some years before coming
to Agnes Scott College in the late SCs
and has found that these earlier
business associates have proven
Invaluable in securing arbitration
assignments. He received his doctorate
in Economics in 1974 and applied for a
license to arbitrate. He was certified
by both the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service and the American
Arbitration Association.
Dr. Johnson is an associate professor
of Economics and teaches the 3CX)-level
Labor Economics course in which he
uses some of his cases as reference

There's Always
Room For
Improvement . .
The word "change" is not one that is
completely absent from the hallowed halls
of Agnes Scott College. We need only to
look at the recent renovations of our aca-
demic buildings and the arrival of our
first woman president to be reminded of
this. And although Rep Council is con-
stantly trying to implement the changes
seen by the students as most needed, it
seems that we have ignored that faction
of our community who, because they are
here longer than the four years we are,
can truly see the changes that would be
most beneficial to ASC. When asked what
one thing they would change about Agnes
Scott College, our faculty replied with an-
swers from the serious to the psuedo-
serious. There was a concern for increas-
ing the enrollment figures of Agnes Scott
College, but there was also interest ex-
pressed in the return to a time when stu-
dent/faculty relationships were closer.
As Ms. Pepe writes, "I think it was won-
derful when everyone on the faculty lived
around the campus. I loved having stu-
dents over all the time ..." Miss Ripy
spoke of trying "to re-establish a caring
community in a scholarly atmosphere,"
and Ms. Carden wants to see "a greater
concern about women's issues." Mr.
Brooking and Ms. Woods expressed a de-
sire to see increased attendance at plays,
concerts, and lectures (by students, fac-
ulty, and staff.)
If Ms. Mckemie had her way, there
would be a new physical education build-
ing( Mr. Pilger would merely like to have
handball courts and a men's locker room.
But they aren't the only ones that wish to
physically change the campus. If Mr. Wis-
trand had his way, ASC would be in
Crested Butte, Colorado. Ms. Campbell
wants to "destroy the airconditioning
towers beside the library and Buttricki"
and Mr. Sheffer would "put the mailroom
back in Buttrick where God intended it to
be." Ms. Messick wants to make the ASC
sign of the college "identifiable to the
viewer."
Along with these, we also received a
few wishful requests. However much we
might like to implement Ms. Manuel's sug-
gestion of dropping Mondays altogether,
we are extremely thankful that Mr. Young
cannot add an extra week to our quarter!
Perhaps the most interesting request we
received was from Mr. Yang; he wishes to
"use Chinese as the language of instruc-
tion."
Add how are we to pay for all of these
ideas? By using Mr. Bowling's suggestion
— quadruple the endowmenti

Before
The John Bulow Campbell
Science Hall was dedicated on
October 23, 1951, representing
an investment of over seven
hundred and fifty thousand
dollars and countless man hours
of work by the architects,
Logan and Williams, and the
construction crew. The hall,
which replaced a much older
and smaller building that
occupied the space where
Walters Dormitory now stands,
was named after John Bulow
Campbell, the President of
Campbell Coal Company and, at
Agnes Scott, a trustee, serving
as chairman of the finance
committee and as a member of
the committee on buildings and
grounds. The actual structure
contained six million, five
hundred thousand cubic feet of
space, with seventy-seven
rooms, consisting of
classrooms, laboratories and
libraries. The ground and first
floors constituted the Biology
Department, whereas the
Chemistry and Physics
Departments made up the
second and third floors,
respectively. At its dedication,
the Hall was considered to be
the most modern for its time.
But, as the years went by and
technology grew ever more
sophisticated, it soon became
obvious that, unless it was
modernized, eventually
Campbell Hall would become
behind the times, and its
equipment, modern in 1951,
would become insufficient for
the needs of the students.
Something had to be done.
After
(«'
Science Hall
Agnes Scott College

Beers Construction Co
Campbell Hall came to the attention of
Agnes Scott President Marvin Perry when he
arrived in 1973 and began implementing a
sweeping renovations program that included
modernizing many of the buildings on
campus, among them Buttrick and the
McCain Library. But perhaps the most
impressive renovation occurred in Campbell
Hall. Originally, an additional building had
been planned, but this idea was shelved due
to expense and the fact that this would
make inefficient use of current space. Actual
work began in early 1981 at a cost of three
million dollars.
These changes do not, for the most part,
become evident until one enters the building.
Most of the renovation occurred in the
upgrading of current safety equipment and
the addition of newer equipment. Fume
hoods, new chemical storage areas, and
ventilation systems have been installed, in
addition to more warning signs, alarms, and
— a new addition — showers in the halls.
Other important changes include a
computer and electronics room, a new lab
for field courses such as ecology and plant
taxonomy, a darkroom in the Biology
Department, and increased storage and
science library space.

Have You Read My
Latest?
While we are writing what seems an endless number
of papers, there are many of our professors who mirac-
ulously seem to find time between grading papers and
assorted exams to commit some of their pet ideas to
paper. The following is merely an incomplete list of
those articles or books that our professors have writ-
ten. When they become celebrated texts, just remem-
ber that you saw the titles in the Silhouette first. Mr.
Brown — seven articles in a Dictionary of Seventeenth
Century British Radicalsi Ms. Pinka — This Dialogue of
One: The Songs and Sonnets of John Donnei Mr. Weber
— Socioeconomic Methods in Educational Analysis, Ms.
Manson — "Interaction of Oxygen Free Radicals and
Cardiac Sarcoplasmic Reticulum.- Proposed Role in the
Pathogenesis of Endotoxin Shocki" Ms. Kaiser — Im-
ages de la France Modernei Ms. Cardin — "Measure-
ment of Play Structures: Cross Cultural Consideration;
"Mr. Wistrand — paper in Dozhansky's Genetics of
Natural Populations/ Mr. Pilger — "Ultrastructure of the
Tentacles of Themiste lageniformiSi"Mr. Matthews has
completed three choral arrangements, one to be pub-
lished and two under consideration. Ms. Jones is pre-
paring a book to be published in 1984 about Hinduism in
America, and Mr. Brooking is working on a Styles of
Acting text.
Haven't I Told You
About My Pet
Zebra?
Perhaps the most popular question on our survey was
the one in which we asked about pets. Nearly every
professor had one (or more in many cases) pet, ranging
from cats and dogs to fruitflies and grandchildren.
Many offered pictures and many went into great detail
when describing their pets.
Dogs, it seems, are the most popular pets of faculty
members. Ms. Pepperdene has a miniature poodle;
named Ville Russe Anatina while Mr. Cochran has
Smooter, an "all-American, A #1" dog. The Economics
Department seems to have cornered the market on the
intelligent canines: Mr. Weber owns Buck the Wonder
Dog while Mr. Johnson has "El Weirdo" the cocker
spaniel. Mr. Gignilliat has a twelve-year old Sheltie,
Beau Gignilliat, whom he calls "the handsomest mem-
ber of my clan." A Ihasa apso, Yobu Yu Lan, makes his
home with the Darlings, while every student's favorite
cocker spaniel. Alfalfa, lives with the Wistrands. Our
professors' creativity really emerges when it comes to
naming their dogs. Some names include Mugsy, Wag-
gles, Tai-Tai, Margarita of Loren, Sylvie Sue, Bonzia.
Cats, of course, also topped the list of popular pets.
Mr. Copple once had three cats which were named

Agnes, Scott, and College. Ms. Calder has a Somali
named Ophelia, and Mr. Tumblin has "an attack cat"
named Igor Sikorski. Ms. Manuel and McKemie share a
cat named Phi Beta Kappa, and Ms. MacEwen's house is
occupied by three cats — Bandersnatch, Sweet Pea,
and Iphigeneia. Other exotic names included Mieze-
katz, Abigail, Tigger, Koko, Spooky, Wimpie, and Tess.
Some of our faculty mentioned children as their
"pets." Ms. Young's only "pets" are her two grandchil-
dren. Heather and Sam. Ms. Connell wrote of her chil-
dren, Travis and Shannon — "We have a hard time
sneaking them into restaurants!"

So What Do You Do
In Your Spare Time?
Relaxation during weekends and holidays is not an
art restricted to the students of our community. Many
of our professors feel the need to unwind after a long
quarter, and their interests do not always coincide with
their academic disciplines. For example, the Silhouette
has discovered that Ms. Cabisius tests video games for
Canadian distribution. Ms. Darling paints in oils in her
spare time, and Mr. Pilger builds wooden ship models.
Mr. Matthews builds musical instruments, but musical
talent is not limited to that department) Ms. Calder
plays both the piano and the harpsichord, and Ms.
Messick plays a mean ragtime piano. Ms. Herbert has
an international stamp collection, and Mr. Brooking
weaves Ojos (Indian weaving on crossed sticks with
yarn). But while Ms. Young builds and furnishes doll
houses, and Ms. Garden collects "evil eye" heads, there
is one passion that seems to consume the majority of
the faculty: gardening. Ms. Woods, Mr. Brown, and Mr.
Gignilliat all put down gardening as their favorite way
to pass time. (Mr. Brown's garden is famous for its
roses.)
It would be unfair to include a section on hobbies
without including some of those interests that perhaps
cannot be classified as such. Ms. Pepperdene expresses
her interests as "breeding*good dogs, eating good food,
drinking good wine and always having time to study."
Ms. Pinka is an expert on Hollywood musicals while Ms.
Campbell is interested in cartography. There are two
features on the outside interests of Mr. Johnson and
Ms. Kennedy (pp. 80 and 90). Ms. Ammons spends a
great deal of time doing volunteer work at a nursing
home, and Ms. Jones visits Hindu temples. However,
Mr. Hayworth has perhaps the most unusual interest of
all the professors. As he puts it, "I love to lose political
campaigns for people."

'College Careers" — Not For Students Only
It's hard to imagine our professors were ever
involved in anything other than their field of study.
The idea of them ever participating in the types of
extra-curricular activities that we engage in some-
how does not seem to coincide with the stacks of
books and academic robes we see in their offices.
However hard it is for us to believe our professors
were ever anything but professors, many of them
were campus leaders in their under-graduate days.
The nature of their activities ranged from being
president of a fraternity to president of an Arts
Guild. Mr. Copple was a KA at UNC at Chapel Hill,
and Ms. Ammons and Ms. Manuel were both mem-
bers of Alpha Delta Pi. Other members of sororities
were Ms. Darling (Pi Beta Phi) and Ms. Bumgarner
(Sigma Kappa). The professor who wins the Ike Izod
award, however, is Mr. Weber. Not only was he
president of the Theta Xi fraternity at Lafayette, he
was also president of the Fraternity Council there.
The Greek life was not the only extra-curricular
activity. Ms. McKemie was a member of the Athle-
tic Association at Georgia College, and Ms. Messick
played field hockey, basketball, and tennis all four
years of college. But athletic prowess is not limited
to the Physical Education Department! Ms.
MacEwen waved a mean stick on both the varsity
hockey team and the varsity La Crosse team.
The Fine Arts were also mentioned. Mr. Young
played the cello in the college orchestra at Duke
University, and Ms. Ammons was in the chorus at
UGA. Mr. Brooking was a one-man theatre group at
the University of Iowa, writing the school musical
(music and lyrics) and extending himself to commu-
nity productions also. Ms. Cardin was a member of
Blackfriars here at Agnes Scott College, and Ms.
Diliman was involved in the theatre group at Penn
State. Literary achievements were also mentioned.
Ms. Pinka was on the staff of the Pitt News at the
University of Pittsburgh, and Ms. Manson was co-
editor of the Web University of Richmond's coun-
terpart of the Silhouette. Mr. Weber was involved in
both yearbook and the literary magazine, and Ms.
Darling was on the yearbook staff at FSU. Ms.
Calder was involved in ASC's Lecture Committee,
and Ms. Woods was on the newspaper while she was
a student here. Ms. Pepe was president of her Arts
Guild at University of Iowa.
Politicians were also present. Ms. Connell was on
Rep Council when at ASC while Mr. Matthews was
on student council at the University of Michigan.
Mr. Johnson was president of his senior class at
Kentucky Wesleyan. Mr. Bowling expressed his col-
lege career in this fashion: "I ran track and
mooched at frat parties."

Bradley Observatory — ASCs Personal Treasure
There is a treasure-trove at ASC. The intrepid explorer,
willing to brave the wild woods behind the tennis court and
cross the street, will come upon a brick path winding up a hill.
At the crest, this treasure can be found. It is the Bradley
Observatory, containing some of the most fascinating and
complicated-looking instrumentation and devices on campus,
yet it is all too often overlooked by most people.
One of the most outstanding elements of the observatory is
the 30-inch Beck reflector telescope, the largest collegiate
telescope in the southeast except for another 30-incher at the
University of Florida. But even so, the Beck is used by
undergraduates, while the Florida 'scope is primarily for the
use of graduate students. The Planetarium, also, is an integral
part of the Bradley Observatory complex.
But how was ASC able to get such an excellent facility? It all
began in 1947 when Dr. William Calder joined the Scott faculty.
He set up a small planetarium in a basement, using an old war
surplus parachute as a dome. This "make-shift" planetarium
soon became a popular place for visiting groups, and ASC
president. Dr. James Ross McCain, was intrigued. He set about
getting grants from famous corporations and foundations for a
planetarium. One of the groups involved gave $20,000 — the
Beck foundation, after which the telescope was named.
Bradley Observatory, which houses the telescope and
planetarium was officially opened in 1949.
Just as several other buildings on campus have been
renovated, so has Bradley Observatory, both in its structure
and in its programs.
The physics-astronomy program has been expanded. This is
seen most clearly in the increase of opportunities for
independent and/or extra curricular studies. Students can now
build (with limitations) and test optical tables and then put
them to use outside. In addition to and as a result of all of
this, there could very well be student-produced research notes
and published papers coming from ASC.
But the observatory has still more to offer: Dr. Robert Hyde,
head of the Physics-Astronomy Dept, came to Scott in 1978.
and is a man with "stars in his eyesi" it is he who steadily
and surely leads his students to a knowledge and appreciation
and, especially, awe of the cosmos. And there is Dr. Julius
D.W. Staal, the director of the planetarium and former
director of the planetarium at Fernbank.
Not only does Bradley Observatory serve ASC, but it also
represents a resource for the community, as evidenced by
Open House every month, courses in Celestial and Coastal
Navigation which were offered last year, and it being the
location of Atlanta Astronomy Club meetings. Fernbank may be
larger and better publicized, but Bradley Observatory also
serves to educate and entertain the public. It is a treasure-
trove, indeed.

For The
Love Of
Carousels . . .
Assistant Professor of History,
Katharine Kennedy, turns her love of
history into an interesting hobby in her
spare time — she enjoys visiting and
researching antique wooden carousels.
"Carousels were originally designed
for adults," she explained. They were
built by skilled craftsmen between the
ISQCs and the beginning of the
Depression and were often bought and
installed by electric companies. At that
time, the marketing of electricity was
just beginning, and the electric
companies were trying to find business
for their new electric trolley lines. So
they sometimes established "trolley
parks" and the main attraction was
often a carousel. Every animal was
carved out of wood, and each was
unique. Many lights were installed on
the carousel in order to emphasize
electricity.
Ms. Kennedy grew up near a wooden
carousel in her home town of Raleigh,
N.C., and often rode it as a little girl.
Her interest in carousels expanded
when her mother, also a teacher, got
her junior high students involved in
efforts to restore and study the past of
the Raleigh carousel, which turned out
to be a very fine antique and worth
fixing up. Since then, Ms. Kennedy has
visited about twenty-five carousels all
over the United States.
"There are only about three hundred
wooden carousels left," Ms. Kennedy
said. "And this number diminishes
every year as the value of the carousel
animals appreciates. People like to
purchase individual animals and display
them in their homes."
"Finding the unexpected in
unexpected places," is what Ms.
Kennedy really enjoys. "It's a surprise
to find folk art in a seamy amusement
park." Carousels can tell us about one
aspect of society at the turn of the
century and also exposes us to the
work of skilled woodcarvers.

IsS TMI3 a GREgT QQA OR WUQT?
QQE£.S SCOTT coLLmc Q^iANgsiun
Our gym's history is as wide and varied as the
cracks in its facade. It was originally designed to be
used as more than just an "in case of rain;" in fact,
all Black Cat festivities were held in the gym, from
the games to the dance. Bucher Scott gymnasium
was built in 1925, and at that time it was quite
modern as well as versatile. It was constructed to be
used as a temporary auditorium for all convocations
and productions as well as a gym. Now we have
Gaines and the Winter Theatre which have
permanent seating for such events, but our gym still
has that original design of an auditorium.
Since that great year, 1925, has ASC kept our gym
up to date with women's athletic advancements?
Well, we've had the windows in the swimming pool
changed, added a weight room, and this Christmas
the stage will be enclosed to create a more private
dance studio. Other than the more modern physical
programs offered, not much else can be said.
Women's advancements in sports have left ASC's
athletic facility way behind. When looking at other
gymnasiums such as the Students' Activities Center
at Georgia Tech, we see how they have managed to
keep up with athletic advancements as well as
engineering advancements. It would be nice to work
off those study frustrations in a modern gym with
an indoor/outdoor pool, racketbali court, whirlpool,
and sauna. Maybe this is too much to ask for at one
time, but couldn't we get started on a more enticing
physical center? If our gym was more appealing and
modern, the Freshman Forty would be reduced to
the Freshman Fit.
Below are pictures of our beloved gym through the
years. See the difference? . . . there isn't any. There
is not even much change in our swimming tank suits
shown above. The caption below the diving shot
taken in 1940 said "It's a good thing her dive was
being judged, and not her suit." There is room for
improvement. Our old faithful gym's cracked facade
immortalized by this tribute and the Double
McGuffin, so now it's time for a change.

In Memory
Of
Elizabeth Gould Zenn
The following tribute to Elizabeth Zenn was written by Dr. Margaret W.
Pepperdene and appeared in the 1982 Summer Edition of the Alumnae Quar-
terly.
Classical scholars sometimes refer to a colleague as
either "a Greek" or "a Roman" whenever her character
and personality strongly resemble those distinctive traits
associated with one or the other of these ancient peoples.
Elizabeth Gould Zenn, Professor of Classical Languages
and Literatures and chairman of the department at Agnes
Scott College, was described by her former colleague.
Professor Kathryn Glick, as unquestionably "a Greek."
Professor Zenn had an insatiable intellectual curiosity, a
flexibility and subtlety of mind, an aesthetic and
intellectual delight in the sounds and senses of words, and
an unfailing eye for proportion, harmony, and grace in
nature and in art. A very dry, icy martini, an elegant
long-necked poodle, an exquisitely rendered piano or
violin concerto, a powerful Homeric line, an epigram of
Martial, a smartly executed double play by the Pittsburgh
Pirates, or a Steinway in perfect turn all served
essentially, if not equally, to satisfy her sense of beauty,
intellectual and physical. Like the Athenian, she scorned
ih? "barbarian," not for his ignorance but for his refusal
•o If.i-n, his intellectual clumsiness, his artistic and human
gracclsssness, the narrowness and shallowness of his
interests: and his need to seek strength and assurance
not in lirtiseif as r;; ^dividual but in conformity to those
mediocrities of i:S(.- and learning set by his society. Like
the Greeks, too, she humanized everything that would
"swim into her ken," that is, every creation, animate, or
inanimate, that came into her particular vision and
became part of her life. Her first automobile, a well-
behaved 1947 Plymouth that was responsive to her need
for freedom when campus "pen fever" threatened to
smother her, she fondly called "Libba." To a one-eyed
'^impus stray, sometimes companion to the three-legged
canine belonging to a colleague, she gave occasional bed
and board and the name "Antigonus." Her most cherished
possession, the Steinway she purchased just this past
Christmas, she named "Rudy" for the musician she most
admired.
The discriminating quality of Elizabeth Zenn's mind, the
amplitude and diversity of her learning, and the insistent
individualism of her person made her a rare and valuable
(in the root sense of that word) colleague. She read ail
the ancient languages with ease and spoke most of the
modern European ones with fluency. She was assiduous in
her efforts not "to lose" (as she put it) any of these
languages. Just a few years ago she directed an
Independent Study paper dealing with the language of
Marie de France's Lai du Chievrefueil. At about the same
time she was re-reading Chaucer, from The Book of the
Duchess through The Canterbury Tales, doing it, as she
said, "just for fun." In the same spirit she constantly read
in contemporary French, German, and Italian literature,
finding a particular delight in the stories of Gunter Grass,
Ignazio Silone, and Alberto Moravia, to name but a few.
She moved naturally from her study of languages and
literature to studies of history, archeology, philosophy,
art, and architecture, but her interests were not limited
to the arts and humanities. She was enviably
knowledgeable about the sciences, both pure and natural.
She knew the language of science and its meaning as well
as she knew the other languages she commanded. She
was intrigued by every new theory or discovery, and
modern technology delighted her. For her, computers
were an exciting game, however serious, which she
played with characteristic skilL
Of all the areas of learning that absorbed her, the one
that nurtured and sustained her, that gave her the
deepest personal satisfaction, was music. Her knowledge
of music was legendary on this campus. She knew its
history and theory: she could tell the history and
structure of musical instruments; she understood the
science of acoustics; she knew the score of any piece of
music that she cherished; and she was familiar with the
strengths, weaknesses, and particular characteristics of
every professional performer in this country and abroad.
It would hardly be an exaggeration to say that she
attended every concert in Atlanta these past thirty years.
For her. Opera Week was a feast! Although she
deprecated her own talent and always refused to perform
publicly, she was an accomplished pianist. No matter how
crowded her day might be with teaching numerous
classes, advising her students, taking her daily swim in
the campus pool, or attending a committee meeting, she
always found time to practice. Nothing in the last year of
her life gave her more pleasure than helping to establish
the Kirk Music Series at Agnes Scott.
Professor Zenn's mastery of all the disciplines of liberal
studies, her rich store of knowledge, and her singular
enthusiasm for the intellectual life made her an exciting,
if sometimes exhausting, teacher. As Director of the
Summer Study Program in Italy, she gave her students an
incomparable course in Roman Art on Architecture.
According to Professor Marie Pepe who taught with her
on the Program, she climbed through the ruins of Rome
"like a mountain goat," her students (who called her
"Zip") panting behind her in the sultry summer heat. She
knew every stone in every archeological site they visited,
just as she knew every street and alley of the Eternal
City and the offerings of every museum and gallery in
Italy. It is no wonder that students who made this trip
with her remember it as one of the richest experiences of
their lives.
Her death in Washington, D.C. on August 21, 1982, after
an illness of many months, marked a loss to the faculty
and students of this College that cannot be measured.

Much to the amazement of the
freshman class, the sophomores burst
into Winter Theater wearing yellow
bandanas and cowboy hats yelling
incomprehensible cheers and singing a
song. The dazed freshmen could hear
only a few words. Mascot? Black Cat?
Underwear? What were the
sophomores yelling about? The
freshmen soon found out. After several
weeks of meetings and secret
discussions, the class of '86 chose their
mascot. It was not too much later that
several sophomores swaggered into
Letititia Pate singing about Joe Cool.
The freshmen had to struggle to hide
their smiles. But the smiles soon faded
the next week when the sophomores
began wearing plaid and playing
Scottish bagpipe music. Word soon
spread, "THEY HAD FOUND OUTI" The
class of '86 did get revenge. Several
sophomores who were drenched with
water and decorated with shaving
cream can testify to that. At the
bonfire, the class of '86 showed their
true colors and officially announced the
correct mascot, "The Scottish
Highlanders." The class of '86 had
become "the true Scotties."

Meetings, meetings, and more meetingsl As the freshmen
soon realized, Agnes Scott runs on meetings. It seems that a
freshman's entire first week passes in a blur of one meeting
followed by another. For instance, in just one afternoon,
freshmen attended a Black Cat explanation. Career Planning,
and Honor Court meetings that lasted non-stop from 1:30
until 5:30 Perhaps the abundance of meetings would have
been more acceptable if each one had discussed a new and
different subject, but many of the meetings were duplicates,
as far as information was concerned, of previous assemblies
or of written material already given the freshmen. Yet, each
meeting aroused a different feeling. While Honor Court
meetings struck fear into freshmen. Black Cat explanations
excited the newcomers. As one freshman put it, "At first it
was nice, but later it just got tedious." As fall quarter moved
on, the meetings soon got exasperating in their frequency
and length. But after the hustle-bustle of the first few
weeks, things started settling down. For the rest of the year
each freshman could pretty much choose which ten or
twelve meetings a week she wanted to attend. After all,
where would a Scottie be without a meeting to go to?

It happens to almost every freshman. The first quarter is going
well and then It strikes. What is it? It's the dreaded FRESHMAN
TENI The symptoms are classic. Your favorite jeans are just a bit too
tight. Those wrap-around skirts don't quite make it around your
waist. Maybe your dress won't zip. Even your baggy sweaters look
tight. The freshman ten (or fifteen, or twenty) seems to be an
important part of everyones' first year at Agnes Scott. What causes
this horrible phenomenon? There are two principle culprits, meals
and munchies. The basic freshman eats like a horse at meals. She
eats four or five cookies, a few ice cream sandwiches, an extra
helping of fried chicken, not to mention a large portion of rice. This
first cause of the freshman ten usually occurs at three regular
intervals throughout the day. The munchies are harder to control.
Attacks of the munchies usually occur late at night. A classic attack
starts with an intense craving for food and ends with a late-night
run to Krispy Kreme for two dozon filled doughnuts. There are,
however, many variations on this theme; P by C, the Freight Room
and the local grocery store can be easily substituted for Krispy
Kreme. Unfortunately for the hapless
freshman, there are only two known
cures for this dreaded disease, and
neither is pleasant. They are diet
and exercisel

The Sundance Kids chose an appropriate name for
themselves in the fall of 1981. No. they aren't bank robbers
like Sundance was, but they, like Sundance, love to have a
good time. One comment heard most often about the class
of '85 is that they love to party. Whether it's at
Brandeywine Downs. Packet's, Atlanta Hilton, El Toritos,
Confetti's, Limelight, P.J. Haley's, Margaritaville, P.J.'s Nest,
or the old favorites of The Freight Room, Trackside, and our
own TGIFs, someone from the class of '85 is bound to be at
one of these places any night of the week. But like
Sundance, they also know that when it's time to get down to
business, it's time to get down to business. Well, at least
some of them do . . .

Gone are the days of being a coddled freshman. It's
time to grow up Kids, you are sophomores now. It was so
nice being taken care of last year. You were new,
inexperienced freshmen. All of your questions were
answered by eager upperciassmen who wanted to make
you feel at home. Now you are upperciassmen and it's
your turn to help out the freshmen. Are you confused and
bewildered in your new role? Probably not. In a way it's
exhilarating to know the ropes and really be able to call
Agnes home. It's sort of like growing up, isn't it.

"What do I want to major in?" That question runs through
every student's mind at some point during her college
career. However, spring quarter the question must be
answered by the sophomores. During third quarter the other
classes are able to spend their time guiltlessly worrying
about their suntans and what they are going to do over the
summer. However, the sophomores are spending sleepless
nights agonizing over making the right decision. "English or
economics . . both would be good majors for law school . . .
but, I really like History ..." Most probably, the foremost
question running through a sophomore's mind is "what if I
end up not liking my major?" While disliking your major is a
problem, there is always the possibility of changing it to
another field and staying here for ten years. Nevertheless,
the sophomores will still contemplate their dilemma, "English
or Econ . . . ," until they make their final decision. Then they
too can guiltlessly worry about their suntans and what they
are going to do over the summer.

There's something special about the class of '84. It shows
in everything they do. If they're going to do something, it's
going to be done right. Even their mascot shows that they
have class. Crackerjack is the best sailor on the seas and
this class wants to be the best at Agnes Scott. They do a
good job at it. Black Cat production and Junior Jaunt came
out great. They actively participate in campus organizations.
To top it all off, they are smart. For the second year in a
row the class of '84 won the Class Scholarship Trophy. They
put in a lot of study time to get that. But more importantly,
they have fun together. '84 you're quite a crew.

They've finally hit the big time. It's their junior year so
they move into the magnificent luxury of Rebekah and Main.
This is upperclassman territory — no freshmen or
sophomores allowed. Here the juniors escape the hassles of
Black Cat pranks and other such "childish" things. Now they
are free to carry on highly intellectual discussions with their
colleagues under the high ceilings built so long ago. Speaking
of bigger and better, the rooms are huge. This facilitates
large beer, uh, cocktail parties. Gone are the days of
frolicking sophomorism. They are replaced by the carefree,
sedate life of a junior.

However, many of you
may wonder, what if you
were one of those few ca-
reer-minded seniors in 1941,
what possible careers could
you have had? Well, being
at Agnes Scott was a step in
the right direction to al-
most any career. Agnes
Scott was a pioneer in ca-
reers for women in the
state of Georgia. Don't
think, however, that this
meant that it provided
teachers for the area. On
the contrary, at this time,
Agnes Scott did not even
have an education depart-
ment. The few women
seeking careers went on to
include lawyers, doctors,
and writers. Since most stu-
dents were not under the
pressure of finding a job,
they were able to choose
their majors without worry-
ing about how practical
they were: Although Math-
ematics and Economics ma-
jors were few and far be-
tween in the 40s, the Eng-
lish major was popular even
then. French was also a
popular although there was
less of an application, since
travelling in Europe meant
taking a boat to a place in
the midst of war. Although
most of the graduates of '41
did not intend to work,
with the United States' in-
volvement in WWII, women
were practically forced
into the working world be-
cause of the lack of males.
Gene Slack was one of
these women who did
work.
Gene Slack
Morris
Class Of 1941
Gene Slack Morris has
certainly led a very fulfill-
ing life since she left Agnes
Scott College in 1941. If all of
the graduates of her class
have fared as well, then Ag-
nes Scott should give her-
self a pat on the back for
sending out so many well-
rounded women. Upon
graduation, Mrs. Morris,
went to the Prince School
of Retaining in Boston. It
was there that she met
Chester Morris, who later
became her husband. Ches-
ter Morris, upon graduation
from Harvard, then went on
to Harvard Medical School.
The couple was then mar-
ried. They then resided in
New York where she
worked and he did an in-
ternship at the Roosevelt
Hospital. Soon afterwards
he went off to serve in the
U.S. Army. After the war,
the couple moved to Deca-
tur. The Morris' had four
children, three girls and
one boy. Today, they have
nine grandchildren. Mrs.
Morris has always played
an active role in the com-
munity. While her children
were small she was very in-
volved in organizations
such as the Blue Birds. Now
she is involved in activities
helping senior citizens.
Mrs. Morris is perhaps
one of the best examples of
the typical Agnes Scott gra-
duate, whether it is 1941,
1983, or 2000. It does not
matter what career a Scot-
tie chooses, she will be suc-
cessful because Agnes
Scott has given her an
awareness of what life is
about. At the same time she
has learned the skills so
that she may achieve the
goals which she sets for
herself. Mrs. Morris, like a
true Scottie, is living her
life with an awareness of
both herself and others.

Betty Fountain Grey
Edwards
Class Of 1935
Betty Fountain Gray was a gradu-
ating Senior at Agnes Scott in 1935,
with a BA in history and French.
And like us, she didn't know exactly
what she was going to do after
graduation. She did know that she
wanted to work. She was able to
attend Scott during the depression
on a scholarship and worked on
campus. Her campus jobs included
assisting in the biology lab and illus-
trating a biology professor's disser-
tation. Betty Fountain later used
this experience as the basis of her
career.
After graduating from Scott, Bet-
ty remained in Atlanta. During the
",ar, she v/orked ^s a lab assistant at
E no- y and, by this time, she was
aireadv a wife and mother. After
the war she remained at Emory
working in the biology labs and tak-
ing classes in the sciences. In 1951,
she had earned her MA and then in
1963 she obtained her Ph.D. All
through this time she was a lecturer
at Emory and for a time was at
Georgia State. And until last year.
Betty Fountain taught anatomy to
the dental and medical students at
Emory.
Betty Fountain has accomplished
much more. She has been widely
published in her special field, the
anatomical growth of plants and
animals. During the first biological
lab satellites of the 1960s, which or-
bitted the earth. Betty sent impor-
tant experiments along. These ex-
periments were conducted to calcu-
late the effect of gravity on the
growth of plant tissues. Betty has
also been active in the Atlanta
League of Women Voters. She told
me that Agnes Scott makes an ef-
fort to give its students an aware-
ness of community and the indivi-
dual's responsibilities in her own
community, in l%8, Betty Fountain
was named women of the year in
Atlanta.
However, when Betty was a stu-
dent at Agnes Scott, it was a very
similar life to our own, except the
regulations were stricter. Betty par-
ticularly remembers having to sign
out all the time, having chaperoned
dates, and having a 6:30 curfew.
The food was good — but they were
always having chicken. Betty was
also very active on campus, while
maintaining her studies. She gradu-
ated Phi Beta Kappa. Betty belonged
to the Art Club and to a special In-
ter-Club presidential Council. How-
ever, the predominate remem-
brance Betty has from Agnes Scott
are the friends she met here, and
these friendships have lasted.

Marion
Leathers
Kuntz
Class Of
1945
Dr. Marion Leathers Kuntz graduated with
high honor in 1945 from Agnes Scott with a
Latin and Greek major. She was twenty years
old, and because having a family has always
been extremely important to her, and because
she felt she was ready, she had married and
begun a home. In her soft but firm voice she
said, "It's very bad that girls nowadays are
made to feel defensive about keeping a home.
A woman can be just as fulfilled at home, and
has much more freedom to be creative. Of
course, this does take discipline! It is so easy to
become involved only in clubs and social activi-
ties, or to lay around and get fat, but the most
precious part of the body is the mind, and it
would be a terrible thing to waste it." Dr. Kuntz
emphasized, "My mind never stagnated while I
was out of school. I used my brains in managing
my home creatively, and in raising my two
wonderful sons." Dr. Kuntz pursued her inter-
ests in philosophy and history and read Greek
and Latin every day.
Eighteen years after her graduation from
Agnes Scott, it became necessary for Dr. Kuntz
to support her family financially. She worked
on her Masters and Ph.D. at Emory, taught at
the Lovett School, raised her boys and man-
aged their home all at the same time. She ad-
vises. Don't be afraid to go back to school after
you have been out awhile. You are more mature
and can focus more on what it is you're study-
ing and what you hope to achieve.
In 1975, Dr. Kuntz became the first woman in
the University System of Georgia to be named
a Regent's professors. She became the first
woman to chair the Georgia State foreign lan-
guage department in 1976. Dr. Kuntz comments
on these "firsts", I would hope that no honor I
might obtain may be solely because I am a
woman." She does not insist on Ms., or chairpe-
son, saying, "I really prefer the general term of
chairman as a member of the human race. I
always interpret terms in a broad context and
never think in terms of male or female." She
has received numerous honors, written four
books and has been elected to serve Georgia
State on several committees. Though she
spends her days in her office at Georgia State,
she does the bulk of work at home, in the
evenings and on weekends, along with her hus-
band, a philosphy professor at Emory.
When asked if she would make the same
decisions today, if she would again first raise a
family and then pursue a career, Dr. Kuntz re-
plied with a resounding yes. "Although I am
very successful in my career, I find a tremen-
dous satisfaction as a human being in my fam-
ily as well as in my research. A woman should
do what she feels inside she wants to do. A
career or a family, no matter how successful
doesn't give you happiness. You give it to your-
self. Would I make a different choice now in a
more liberated world? No! I have the best of
both worlds."

Our Forgotten Alma Mater
When far from the reach of thy sheltering arms.
The band of thy dauthers shall roam.
Still their hearts shall enshrine thee.
Thou crown of the South,
With the memory of youth that has flown.
Dear guide of our youth.
Whose spirit is truth.
The love of our girlhood is thine.
Alma Mater, whose name we revere and adore.
May thy strength and thy power ne'er decline.
Agnes Scott, when thy campus and halls rise to mind.
With the bright college scenes from our past.
Our regret is that those years can ne'er return more.
And we sign that such joys can not last.
Wherever thy are.
Thy daughters afar.
Shall bow at the sound of thy name.
And with reverence give thanks
For the standard that's thine.
And the noble ideal that's thine aim.
And when others beside us thy portals shall throug.
Think of us who have gone on before.
And thy lesson that's graven deep into our hearts.
Thou shall grave on ten thousand and more.
Fair symbol of light.
The purple and white.
Which in purity adds to the fame.
Knowledge shall be thy shield —
And thy fair coat-of-airms,
A record without blot or shame.

GNES SCOTT
Agnes Scott Dares To Extend
Parietals
By Karla Sefcik And Elaine Dawkins
Once upon a time, "Man on the hall!"
was an expression reserved for stu-
dents bringing their fathers and broth-
ers to visit their rooms. Yes, modern
times have invaded the policies of Ag-
nes Scott. This year, "Man on the hall"
has become one of the most-used
phrases on the hallowed halls of our
dormitories. By popular demand, we
students were able to extend parietals
to include Friday nights from 6:00 p.m.
to midnight and Saturday and Sunday
afternoons from liOO p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Although skepticism was expressed by
some students and members of the ad-
ministration, the extended parietals
have met with great success due to
the willingness and strong wishes of
the students to maintain this privilege.
Although occasionally a Scottie may
have tripped out of her room scantilly-
dressed to iron that all-important out-
fit to impress "Mr. Wonderful," or she
may have walked in and out on her
roommate and her date (much to their
frustration) while she was trying to
get dressed for her date, few com-
plaints were registered. Scotties can
now proudly tell their Techies and Em-
roids that they no longer attend St.
Agnes Convent, but that they are truly
liberated women with visiting hour
privileges in their "own rooms," not
just in date parlors, lobbies and the
Hub.
What was once only a dream to for-
mer Scotties is now a reality engraved
in the infamous Agnes Scott College
Handbook which we all know is read
and followed religiously!
Technological Innovation
By Silhouette Staff Writer
Carie' Cato
Modern techonology hit our cam-
pus police department this year.
Not only was the office equipped
with surveillance cameras scanning
Hopkins, tennis court and Candler
parking lots, but also a new card-
key system was installed to replace
our old-fashioned keys and key
door. The system is safer than keys
because you cannot duplicate a
card, and when it is lost, it is easy
enough to take that card out of the
computer so nobody can use it to
enter the dorm. If the card is found,
it can be reprogrammed into the
computer at no expense.
Unfortunately there were also
problems with the security system,
at first. Sometimes the computer
would break down and the cards
A"iu!d not unlock the doors. What
1 -^nnbarrassing wait it was at 4:00
A' sh a date while an officer
. - 'c ' iet you in" with a master
rv— worse, the computer
L^or, leaving the
-* fiiip incidents like
these were inconveniences for ev-
eryone, the system was usually
"back up" within a few days.
Another problem altogether was
the new challenge to students to
keep up with a card instead of a
key. The police department did not
try to count the number of lost (and
eventually found) cards in the first
quarter alone. But over fifty people
paid $5.00 to replace lost and
broken cards. But as time went by,
the system began to work better,
and fewer people had to pay for a
new card. Yet the stories they came
up with on how their old card broke
also improved as the months pro-
gressed.
Whether students liked or dis-
liked the new card-key and camera
system (which some felt was an en-
croachment on their privacy), ev-
eryone seemed pleased with the
progress the campus has made to-
wards creating a safer environment
in which we can live, work, and
learn.
Ride On, Sundance
By Anne Coulling
The first mission of the Sundance Pa-
trol was to discover the freshmen's mas-
cot. Mounted on handsome pink, blue,
yellow, and brown stick ponies, these
kids rode fearlessly far and wide from
the House at Pooh Corner to Sin City to
the Three-Acre Wood to discover the se-
cret. Ably assisted by mascots Wyle E.
Coyote, Louie the Tarantula, Mrs. Beas-
ley, and Pooh Bear, the sophomores went
"sneakin' around" for weeks.
Winter saw Sophomore Parents' Week-
end, Junior Jaunt, and class ring orders,
and with spring came the inevitable ques-
tion of majors: "How can I major in math
if I cannot pass calculus?"
Before you Sundance Kids ride off into
the sunset, look back at this round-up of
memories: wearing plaid and playing bag-
pipe music at dinner (what is it Mrs. Pep-
perdene says about bagpipes?) . . . new

RIDE ON, SUNDANCEIll
Political Fever
by Karia Sefcik
This year an interesting phenom-
enon has struck the Agnes Scott
campus: POLITICAL FEVERI An im-
pressive number of our students
spent their summer and fall working
with and for congressmen, senators
and gubernatorial candidates. This
national and state interest has also
seemed to spur a growth in politi-
cally active groups here on campus.
We are proud to have the Georgia
Student Association (GSA) presi-
dent as one of our students — Jean-
nie Morris — as well as strength-
ened Young Democrats and College
Republicans organizations.
This "fever" does not seem to be
short-lived, but a true sign that the
Agnes Scott Woman is politically
aware and more than willing to be-
come involved in projects she feels
will better her state or nation.
Here's to the future politicians
forming at A.S.C.I Will the first
woman president of the United
States of America be an Agnes Scott
Graduate??!

Advantages of a Liberal Arts Education
Three Viewpoints
by Jeannie Morris
"Agnes Scott — it s a way of life." In
1979, this one phrase followed me ev-
erywhere, not always happily I might
add. But it worked) here I sit at the end
of Fall Quarter of my Senior year, and I
can honestly say I am going to make it!
Many times I thought I wouldn't: There
was that 6 a.m. fire drill that made me
want to strangle my dorm mom and
dad with my wet towel! And the calcu-
lus test I thought was Greek. And then
there was that "Whan that Avril ..."
If academics weren't enough to deal
with, there were those dreadful dates
who never could get it all together.
Those that I didn't want to call always
did, and those that I did want to call
never did.
But, all of this is not without rhyme
or reason. Agnes Scott has made me a
young woman. I am well-educated, and
I have the ability to pass on this educa-
tion to others. I have enough ambition
to want to conquer the world and the
guts to do it! And I have had four years
to develop friendships with the most
amazing women in the nation. Sure Ag-
nes Scott might have started out being
just A way of life, but it has ended up
being THE way of MY life. Thanks Ag-
nes!
by Anne Luke
You're going to a liberal arts school?
How do you expect to get a job? For
some strange reason, a liberal arts edu-
cation connotes a penniless future for
most people. Am I going to surprise
themi
My "useless" liberal arts education
has taught me to analyze difficult
problems and above all to act. While I
may not command a high salary in
June, just give me time.
Scotties are blessed with a unique
ability to rise to the top. We are the
"crcme", and we prove it both in
school and out. Aren't you glad that
you're a liberal arts major?
by Laurie McBrayer
I do not like to recline and reminisce
about my freshmen year as if it were
fifty years ago. However, my impres-
sions of Agnes Scott that first year left
indelible marks on my memory.
During the famous "freshman fall
quarter" I gained at least half of the
weight my mom warned me against,
learned to stay up studying until I a.m.
every night (without making high
school A's), delighted in the arts, and
solved the problems of the world or at
least planned the weekend's activities
with hall-mates. In other words, I
learned to eat, excel (with little sleep),
enjoy cultural offerings, and make new
friends at Agnes Scott.
During my first winter break, I vis-
ited friends at the University of Mis-
souri. There, I stayed in a 2' by 4' room,
ate macaroni and cheese in the dining
hall, and walked miles and miles to get
anywhere, with friends who carried
mace in their fists. I returned home
with a proclamation: "Agnes Scott Col-
lege is a luxury." And, that it is. True,
ASC does have its idiosyncrasies:
freshman curfew, parietals (I still have
to define the term when off-campus),
faculty processions. Black Cat, and re-
ceptions always "immediately follow-
ing" lecture events. But for the most
part, ASC caters to its students. And
unfortunately, we tend to forget that
fact (especially when we have two pa-
pers, two tests, and two weeks of dirty
laundry to do the one week it rains
every day and the dining hall serves
its latest creation called taco dogs).
Agnes Scott instills within us a thirst
for knowledge, and a desire to partici-
pate, lead, and initiate. ASC students
are not homogeneous, and yet after
four years, they cultivate and share
these qualities. I enjoy recalling four
years of learning how to live, and I
cherish my permanent friendships
with classmates.

Rush Activities Begin Annual Scottie "Tech Treks''
The fall rush season was kicked off this
year with Orientation Council's Rush Ex-
planation and skit. Following an amusing

ed by selected brothers as they munched
on picnic edibles and surveyed the var-
ious party schedules and social opportu-
nities. The Rush Picnic served as the new
students' first glimpse of the social coo-
peration between Agnes Scott and Geor-
gia Tech, and made it possible to meet
some of the fraternity brothers at per-
haps their finest.
Two weeks of intense parties formed
the basis of Fall Rush at Tech, as well as
Emory. Scott students were in a heavenly
delimma as to which house to go to next,
and which band was the best for dancing.
The only problem was trying to decide if
the amount of studying would have to
cancel an evening of fun and frolic. As
much as Scotties like to frolic, their con-
cientious attitude toward studies won
out, one time out of ten.

Dear Agates,
Dear Agnes,
I've been dating this boy (I'll call him
Robert) for a few months now and we're
really perfect for each other except for
one thing ... he is too talll All I ever see is
his tie and I have to stand on a stepladder
to kiss him. Sometimes I think he doesn't
even notice me. he always has this fixed
stare. I'm afraid our relationship is only
two-dimentional. Many times I want to
hang him up, but his skin is so paper thin
. . I'm afraid it would tear him up. So, I'm
pinned to the wall on this one. Is there
any hope?
Shorty Scotty
Dear Shorty,
Your troubles sound typical for a girl in
your position. Continuing on like this will
only rip you both to pieces. Consider hav-
ing him chopped off at the knees. This is
a relatively painless operation and yet it
saves a fortune on shoes. If he is unwill-
ing, buy a pair of stilts and talk this over
face to face.
Dear Agnes,

Dear Agnes,
Fall quarter for Black Cat, Connie and I

stuck. Now we are permanently joined by
the hands. We have been getting along
the best that we can; scheduling the same
classes and going on double dates, but it
hasn't helped much. You see, we hate
each other thoroughly. I mean we really
despise one another. Can I kill her?
Murderous in Main
Dear Murderous,
No, you cannot kill her. This is not
Georgia Tech and you will not get a 4.0
this quarter because of the strain. Be-
sides, such things simply are not done in
polite society. However, you can torment
her till she decides to kill herself. You
might also try to convince her to have her
hand cut off. Even though she will never
be able to play the piano again, at least
you will . . . remember, one hand is better

she would only bathe. She refuses to take

Dear Stinky Friend,
There is. only one answer to this situa-
tion. You must forcefully wash your
friend. Grab her when she least expects it
(preferably immediately following her en-
gagement!), and throw her into the
clothes washer. Please, don't forget the

cycle. Although she may balk at first, she
and the people around her will thank you

Dear Agnes,
I go to a small, single sex, highly aca-
demic, private woman's college some-
where in the Southeast. I really love it. But
I hate my dorm room . . . it's so tiny!
They stack us, one on top of the other, in
these tiny little spaces (I've enclosed a
picture so you can see). Even the doubles
aren't large enough to stand up inl I keep
bumping my head and I'm afraid someday
I'll fall out. What can I do?
Cubicle Dweller
Dear Cube,
All college students in small dormrooms
have the same complaints. You have two
choices: you can withdraw from your
small, single sex, highly academic, private
woman's college somewhere In the South-
east, or, you can try to make your cubicle
more like home. Try hanging some pretty
curtains or some small posters. It will do
wonders to make what seems small ap-
pear cozy.
Dear Agnes,
I live in a dormitory and I share a com-
munal refrigerator. Food theft has always
been a problem but recently it has taken a
bizarre turn. Only Hawaiian food is being
stolen. Pineapples and sugar cane disap-
pear like magic . . . and a coconut isn't
safe for a minute. I am a freak for poi and
I love my pineapple, how can I keep from
losing it?
Poi-less Person
Dear Poirson,
This matter greatly concerns me. The
perpetrator or perpetrators of this hen-
ious crime is (are) probably very, very ill.
It is necessary that they be discovered so
that they can be cured of the luau fetish.
This is, however, a common ailment aris-
ing from an overdose of Magnum P.I. . . .
Try setting up a remote control camera to
snap a picture of the culprits in action.
After all, Tom Selleck would approve . . .
it's for their own good.
Dear Agnes,
My name is GoGo, my eleven friends
and I are all in love with the same man.
We do nothing but wait for his call . . .
fighting over him all the time. What can
we do? Whoever heard of a menage a
treize? I am willing to share him evenly.
We could each have a date with him ev-
ery two weeks and all go out together on
Sunday. But, some of the girls are more
selfish, they want him all to theirseives.
One-of-the-Crowd
Dear One,
It is my opinion that you definitely
have the right idea. We must all learn to
share and share alike. Anyone who is not
willing to share her man with the other
eleven is simply being catty. Besides,
someone is bound to lose interest, leaving
a greater percentage for the rest.

ASC Hos Winning Season!
by Staff Writer Anne Luke
For the first time in its ninety-
four year history, the Agnes Scott
College football team, affectionate-
ly known as the Welders, has had a
winning season. After a slow start
this season with losses against the
Georgia Mental Institute and Og-
lethorpe, the Welders were able to
save the season with big wins
against Georgia Tech and Emory.
The turn-around is credited to new
Head Coach Ruth Schmidt's innova-
tive game plans.
At this season's last press confer
ence on June 5, Coach Schmidt
praised the players for their hard
work and dedication. She attributed
much of the team's success as being
due to the constant attentions of
Offensive Coach Julia Gary and De-
fensive Coach Mary Kirkland. Ru-
mors have it that the offensive
line's spectacular energy came from
threats by Coach Gary that players
would have to sing "God of the
Marching Centuries" during prac-
tices if the Welders did not win. But
Coach Kirkland denies these rumors
saying, "The team's success is total-
ly derived from the Richard Sim-
mon's exercise classes I lead daily."
Both coaches and alumnae are
looking for an even better season
next year. Hopefully, ticket sales to
games will increase enough to ex-
pand the banking hours at the Col-
lege.

Retirement Announcements
by Jane Zanca
Agnes Scott College will see in-
creased activity in the personnel and
professional hiring departments this
year following an unusual rash of re-
tirements within the college. The Per-
sonnel Department requests that any-
one interested in applying for vacant
posts please contact the college at
FREAKS-I. Recruitment posters have al-
ready been placed at the Georgia Men-
tal Health Institute. The following Is a
listing of departing faculty members:
Bo Ball is retiring to take up horse-
training full time. "After some of the
stuff I've had to shovel in English 1\[,"
he said, "this will be a pleasure. After
all, there is more money in horses than
in teaching, and when horses come in
late with their work they can be
farmed out to the glue factory."
Miss Eloise Hebert is retiring to un-
dertake a study of sign language for
the deaf. "For years no one has under-
stood a thing I have said anyway," she
said. Miss Hebert has agreed to tutor
Miss McKemie, who lost her voice per-
manently on a golf course in Idaho this
summer. Miss McKemie plans to retire
only temporarily until she can learn an
adequate number of hockey calls In
sign language.
Dr. Chang has accepted a position
with Georgia Power In order to be
closer to the source of light. Mr. Behan
will be working under Dr. Chang In the
Department of Enlightenment.
Mrs. Saunders has taken a job with
the Anorexia Nervosa Foundation. She
is being replaced by Dr. Pllger who has
pledged to reduce food costs by recy-
cling zoology specimens in the dining
hall.
Mrs. Booch will be taking her stamp
collection on tour this year. She will be
temporarily replaced by Mrs. Drucker
who is a known expert at handling
change.
Mrs. Pinka will be resting from the
classroom this year. She has not been
herself since the day she entered room
300 and discovered "A woman's work
is never Donne" scrawled on the black-
board. We all wish her a speedy recov-
eryi there are a few who can get the
job Donne as she can.
Miss Messick will be serving time
after her recent court sentencing re-
garding her racqueteerlng.
Mr. Hyde Is retiring to Jekyll Island.
Mrs. Dlllman is going into the pick-
ling business, and Mr. Tumblln has
joined the circus.
Mr. Staven has joined the National
Organization of Women and will spear-
head research on sexism In the class-
room.
Mrs. Jensen has opened a chain of
laundromats, a job she finds Imminent-
ly more peaceful than running a li-
brary. She has been replaced by Rosa
Smith who Is determined to "clean up
all those dirty books In that library."
Speaking of dirty books, Mrs. Peper-
dene has retired to a cloistered mon-
astery where she is maintalng a vow of
silence and repenting of her love affair
with Chaucer. A reporter at the site of
the monastery asked what her final
words to the outside world would be:
"Teheel" quod she, and clapped the
door to.
The Silhouette staff congratulates
those members of the Agnes Scott fac-
ulty who have been promoted and
sends our heartiest best wishes to
those who will be leaving us to further
their careers.

Colleen Flaxington
Editor
1983 Silhouette
As I write this, the final proofs are on
their way to Josten's to be printed and
bound. I cannot tell you what a relief it is
to know that my work is almost over and
that the final product will arrive soon.
The time, dedication and energy as my
yearbook staff during the past year will
finally culminate in the reality of the 1983
Silhouette.
It seems as though all editors close
their yearbooks with some profound
thought of pithy saying. I truly believe
this is because in order to survive the
year one needs a profound thought to
keep goingi So, just remember, in what-
ever each of us does, whether it is some-
thing we want to do or not, whether we
feel "up" to it or not, we must try. Only
by trying can we hope to achieve suc-
cess. By doing the best that we are able,
we fulfill our true potential, to the benefit
of ourselves and others.
With this in mind, I am very proud of
the changes we were able to make this
year. Throughout each section, we con-
tinually strove to add interest to each
page through layout design, artwork and
feature stories. I feel that the 1983 Silhou-
ette as a whole has succeeded in being a
more creative book and I hope you agree.
I would like to thank the student body
for their patience and support, for with-
standing the confusion and picture re-
takes, for your suggestions and your arti-
cle submissions.
I am grateful to have served Agnes
Scott as the editor of the Silhouette. It
has been a labor of love, and I am well
aware of the growing and learning I have
experienced during this time that I might
otherwise not have accomplished. For the
staff, I would like to say, we have put our
hearts into this book. I hope that it means
as much to you in twenty years as it does
today, that it brings back memories of
the time we have spent here. After all,
isn't that what a yearbook should do?
