They approached Agnes Scott as most freshmen do, with the ambi- guity of excitement and fear com- ' bined. Soon after they were un- packed they realized that they were not the only new faces at Agnes Scott. Joining them to begin a career here was the college's first woman president, Ruth Schmidt. So began the class of 1986's lega- cy of new beginnings. During the four years the class has been at Ag- nes Scott they have seen the com- puter age come to ASC, the college hymn become nonsexist, and the Honor System bitterly debated. In the face of these changes the class of '86 has kept a close tab on some valued traditions. One such tradition is that of the Agnes Scott ring. Every Junior's pride, every Senior's confidence, the Agnes Scott r- gold and onyx class ring stands as a j timeless reminder of the heritage of academic excellence at Agnes Scott. retained the , Another tradition by class of '86 was the importance of iltLIi -...'CttL I the Black Cat celebration and the coveted Black Kitty. This year the senior class revived an ancient tra- ^^^ dition associated with Black Cat by ' bringing back the mysterious Indian — Ahwoo. ^ As they began the final stage of - their Agnes Scott career, the class of '86 once again experienced a new beginning. It is only fitting that they should be the Hrst class in Inman. His Own Kind Of DEAN David now the Associate administrator.

  • Making the “International City”: Work, Law, and Culture In
    MAKING THE “INTERNATIONAL CITY”: WORK, LAW, AND CULTURE IN IMMIGRANT ATLANTA, 1970-2006 by TORE C. OLSSON (Under the Direction of James C. Cobb) ABSTRACT In the wake of the Civil Rights movement, image-conscious Atlanta boosters unveiled a new slogan for their metropolis: the city that had previously been “too busy to hate” was now the “international city,” or “the world’s next great city.” Traditional historical accounts acknowledge the slow transition of Atlanta from Southern city to global landmark by viewing internationalization from the top-down, emphasizing the importance of the Hartsfield-Jackson international airport, growing foreign investment, and the later Olympic Games. But this dominant narrative leaves out an important factor that truly made Atlanta a cosmopolitan city: the steady influx of thousands of working- class immigrants and refugees. In portraying immigrant life within Atlanta since 1970, this thesis presents three vignette-style examinations of work, law, and culture in Atlanta’s immigrant communities, and demonstrates that making the “international city” was a slow and arduous process that sometimes faced resistance from native Atlantans.
