"The small, private college, offering students do not necessarily reflect the editorial sophisticated academic challenges, will always be stand of the magazine staff — actually how can attractive to the truly motivated student," stated anyone not personally involved completely Julia Larue. And Susan Freeman said that "some understand the situation — the editors believe private colleges don't seem as hard hit as ASC, but

Some additional praise for the woman's college comes from Russell lulia Larue, Sarah Louise Price, and Libby Rhett Shunk, Admissions Director of Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, who believes that "some women shouldn't go to college with men." He asserts that "The most
significant advantage of a women's college ... is
that it prepares women for leadership roles, since they are leaders in their college communities." Citing a study conducted by Elizabeth Tidball Peters, an alumna of Mount Holyoke and now a professor of medicine at Georgetown Medical School in Washington, D.C., Mr. Shunk reports that "graduates of women's schools are 2.3 times more likely to be recognized for career achievement than women graduates of coed institutions." 1

HELPFUL OR HARMFUL TO A STUDENT WHO SPENDS FOUR YEARS IN SUCH AN INSTITUTION' More practical than many 18-21 year-olds some years ago, today's ASC students do not expect a Again, the students agreed that, although a liberal arts education only to "train" them for a single-sex college might not be appropriate for career nor to get them a better job. They seem to everyone, the experience is right for them appreciate the more aesthetic, more intangible Christi Roberts likes being in a single-sex school; benefits of the liberal arts program as well as the she does not "feel isolated in a woman's college, broadness of the experience. They also agreed and Agnes Scott has the added attraction of being that a liberal arts education is the best in Atlanta."

Christi Roberts believes that with," said Julia Larue. concentration on a specialized field limits one's According to Sarah Louise Price, "Agnes Scott scope and Sarah Louise Price, speaking from her forced [her] to come out of a shell."

Lest We Grow Complacent (continued)
The opinions of these students seem to echo the statement of Thomas Hedley Reynolds, President of Bates College, in the 1971-1972 Report of the President: For at least a century young people who have been disciplined in the liberal arts have emerged as better thinkers, and as a result, almost always better doers, in nearly every field, compared to those trained more directly for a particular profession or technical specialty. Now, at a time when the conditions of life in this
country are manifestly unpredictable, it seems to me that the kind of preparation
that the liberal arts provides is the kind of preparation which will in the long run prove most useful. The unpredictableness of the future puts emphasis on the men or women who can grow, who can understand, and who can think things out for themselves. 2
IF YOU WERE CONSIDERING A COLLEGE NOW, WOULD YOU CHOOSE ACNES SCOTT?
To this final question, the girls once more answered in the positive, but this time they "took the floor" to offer suggestions for change and growth. Their suggestions were complex in many cases and sometimes personal, but mainly, they spt>ke as students throughout the nation are speaking, to ask, indeed plead, for a vote in the total college program, a voice in the design and contents of their education. The particular interests of the ASC students are those dealing with the academic motivation of the student body as a whole, the scholastic standards and intellectual challenges, the interest and involvement of faculty members in and out of the classroom and the establishment or maintenance of the kind of atmosphere which encourages active student participation and individual creativity. Their complaints are that they believe that the college needs to re-examine the curriculum In this case, they are asking for a redefinition, particularly in broader, more relevant terms, of the liberal arts, arguing that many liberal arts colleges have remained too long in a rigid curriculum. According to Susan Freeman, "Agnes Scott and many similar schools need to redefine the meaning of the liberal arts." She went on to restrictions concerning the consumption of express a wish that Agnes Scott had more intern alcoholic beverages on campus, the students programs and more field experience for students virtually dismissed these fears. The impression

"I'm not talking about just they conveyed was that while some students felt practical experience per se but a greater that the social policies are archaic and opportunity for broader understanding as well as inappropriate for the moral standards and human involvement. Isn't that what the liberal individual acceptance of responsibility of the

Sarah Louise Price thinks that there is a change consider social rules as important a problem as in the faculty-student relationship since 1965, that of academics. Libby Rhett stated that "Agnes

Barbara Battle '56 has filled all of them at one time or another as well as the career of teacher of English and Dramatic Art, of Television and Motion Pictures and of Theatre and Technical Directing.

In composing this film, Barbara followed Miss Court to tournaments on three continents— Europe (England), Australia and the United States.

Some of the locations for the film were Wimbledon in England; Forest Hills in New York; Perth, Australia (Miss Court's present home) Albury, New South Wales, Australia (her childhood home) and Melbourne, Film Director, Barbara Battle on Location Victoria.

As high performance is typically seen as preparation for a successful career - in the working world, the conflict is begun early. The young female, there- fore, receives garbled messages and double- pronged goals; she often forms two ideals for herself: one in the role of wife and mother and one as successful in a career (difficult to imagine as only someone's wife). The social conditioning is continued as one grows older. Not only do the hometown matrons inquire immediately upon graduation, "Well, honey, now when are you getting married?" But the single girl soon discovers that society is arranged for couples. Only recently do "nice girls" venture into restaurants and theatres alone. Invitations invariably entreat one to "bring a date." And as one grows older she is increasingly and uncomfortably aware of being a threat to her married friends, presumably because her gay, exciting, rather wicked single life might become attractive to their husbands (as if most single girls would want that problem too). Another kind of pressure for a woman springs from the need for financial security. Economics are for most adults a daily fact of life. The single their jobs lightly; of course, they have felt less woman especially must support herself. Why loyalty to their employers.

Interestingly enough, formed. Many women, myself among them, are still afraid to abandon the ultimate goal of marriage, mainly for fear of remaining unloved and unwilling to discard the dream of an exciting, fulfilling career. Afraid to decide between the goals and too trapped to work for both, they are unable to begin either and end up doing nothing. An interesting discussion of the anxiety which causes the woman trap was published in an early if^\ of magazine. Vivian Gornick's article edition MS entitled "Why Women Fear Success" explores the idea that girls are afraid to excell for fear that they will appear "unfeminine." They are afraid to succeed, she says, because they have been conditioned to believe that femininity and achievement are incompatible. This fear, pre- valent among women of demonstrably high intelligence, coming from homes where high achievement was much valued, produces an inhibiting anxiety and a subconscious anger. Although the author does not attempt to explain society's reasons for equating passivity with femininity, she makes a strong case for that kind of female conditioning and of the anxiety existent in educated women today. "Our culture has made a deep split in the souls of its women, and the result is insupportable anxiety which can bear up only by transforming itself into the malevolence of what is known as passive-aggressive behavior. Behind the 'passive' exterior of many women there lies a growing anger over lost energies and ." 2 confused lives . .. If Ms. Gornick's theory is correct, this anxiety and fear are an explanation for much of the stifling I have been describing. However, in my experience, the answer is more complicated than just the fear of success, as the effect has been less anger than immobilization, the inability to act. Many women not only hesitate to plan or prepare themselves for a serious career but even fail to define their career objectives. This is not to say that I believe that every woman should desire a full-time career or that the role of wife/ mother is not an admirable goal, but that personally, I have hesitated to begin, while stating that I would like to work, to be a professional woman, whether I were married or not. There- fore, for the last nine years, I have acutally been "biding my time" in interesting but compromising jobs, waiting for something - the Call or Prince I do predict an optimistic future where choice, Charming. self-esteem and psychological independence Paradoxically, this impasse can influence one's are possible and desirable.

It can result in an ambivalence in one's attitude to explore problem Maybe toward marriage. After two broken engagements today's young women are already free of the and numerous almost-serious relationships with woman trap; they appear to be. Maybe only the men, most of whom would not have been "right" time to produce a new generation can completely destroy the obstacles. I am sure that liberation anyway, I have been forced to conclude that requires the unhampered desire to accept it. And subconsciously I did not really want to assume the true freedom is the unquestioned right to have traditional woman's role either, although I believe - in and still aspire to a marriage which involves both "worlds" not necessarily the best of them real emotional investment and the special oppor- for that is properly only earned - and the op- tunity to bear and love children. Perhaps the portunity to choose a life-style, to differ from men ambivalence could be attributed to fear of a role as well as other women, and to achieve the most which could prohibit self-fulfillment - an ironic according to whatever unique abilities Providence attitude when one is reluctant to begin that search granted. At the same time, it must include the anyway - but the children of the 40's and 50's right to remain a woman, to develop my selfhood social relationships, creativity grew up before it became fashionable for women through my my to equate their wifehood with inferiority and in whatever realms, and through a union with a stagnation. Perhaps this vascillation springs from man I love, respect and cherish. Human dignity can be acquired but not through the loss of my own personal neuroses, but I maintain that much of the blame must be placed on the woman femininity. Not only is the price too high, a vital segment of one's humanness - the special joys trap. So again, I want both to love and to be - loved, to enjoy the blessings of a good marriage and blessing granted to one's sex is lost. but fear the wife role, just as I want a career but have been hesitant to begin one.

Since that time I've sifted through full of conflict; one's early lessons are slow to many ideas, trying to focus on concerns which dim. From childhood, a girl learns that her status are most important to me as a woman. For in society will not come from what she as an example, as a single woman, I still find it a hassle individual can do but from the accomplishments to function in certain circumstances which a man and status of the man she chooses.

In fact, the life of the "carefree bachelor," however empty, is envied and romanticized, while single women - although no longer thought of as languishing - still must be discreet about any sexual experiences. Female role expectations, especially those of seeking and finding her identity and goals only with and through her husband - are related to the larger issue of passivity in women. Because as a girl I was supposed to wait for a boy to ask me out, to talk softly, to show little initiative, and to wear clothes designed for looks rather than activity, I realized early that passivity was considered a desirable trait in young ladies. And it was gradually cultivated in social and personal relationships. The submissiveness inherent in the stereo- typed female role emerges as the desire to serve, assist, or support someone else. I always felt very "feminine" when I was comforting my tired or injured boy friends after a rough ball game, even if I did resent somewhat playing such a passive role. Later it seemed easier to spend time helping a special man advance his work than to initiate my own special projects during leisure time. This attitude rewards a woman with feelings of importance that she can offer much valued tenderness or of virtue that she has sacrificed her own interests to help someone else. The tragedy is that in rationalizing her totally passive actions she is failing to use whatever unique talents she might be able to give to society. Some of the greatest satisfactions I have felt lately have come as I faced certain decisions I had never felt I could cope with alone (without the help of the man who was special to me at the time, and then found - to my surprise - that my own insights could be trusted every bit as much as his in solving those problems! The result is that I have felt a much greater appreciation of my own unique qualities and a much greater sense of security that they will take me and sustain me wherever I choose to go. Lynn B.

Now that I am attending graduate schocl in social work, an area where women have been in the majority since its beginnings, I have continued to experience personally few problems related to my sex. However, although women historically have dominated the field, men are entering in increasing numbers and certain inequalities have appeared. Men have assumed an in- equitable number of administrative positions, the positions of power; for example, most deans of social work schools and heads of social work agencies are men. Therefore, when we consider the fact that women developed casework therapy and expanded it to heights which pervade all aspects of human service, we must recognize the implications of increased male dominance in the vital positions of the field and the effects of frustration this dominance must have on women social workers. Another source of frustration is that in spite of the success of social work and its treatment methods, social work has not received the recognition that it should as a what I Am About profession.

We studied what other states were doing and looked in depth to the pros and cons of such courts. Unfortunately, the climate among Judges of Superior Courts who handle divorce cases and within the Legislature for financing them was not right for acceptance of the idea, but I feel that we certainly will see family courts more widely used. I am a member of the Atlanta Estate Planning Council, the members of which are those composing the estate planning team, attorneys, C.P.A.'s, bank trust officers and life underwriters. I was the first woman attorney member and I shall never forget the night I went to my first meeting at the Commerce Club.

Her entry into the field of law came naturally. Her father and older brother are both lawyers. Ellen says her father influenced her interest in the profession. "Not because he wanted me to become a lawyer but looking at him and admiring him so, I wanted to become a lawyer too," she explains. After Agnes Scott, Ellen entered law school and finished second in her class at the University of South Carolina. She joined Southern Bell's legal staff in Atlanta, then became associated with ASC graduate Sarah Frances McDonald. Later she and her husband Lesesne moved back to Spartanburg and she commuted to Greenville, SC to work.

Evanston, IL CA 30030 In Praise Vrom t\)e Vacui My memory as an instructor at Agnes Scott ex- tends back into the dim past - into days when the faculty, in a college just emerging from the effects of the Depression and the demands of World War II, lived as graciously as it could, but also very plainly. I inhabited, with my parents, a faculty house on the campus which had no central heat and a red clay front yard which was not just inno- cent of grass but positively hostile to it. My first recollections of Dr. Alston are associated with a most welcome new furnace for the house and later a truckload of rich topsoil which arrived one lovely spring day and which in time produced a morale-building beautiful green lawn. The face of the College has changed in these last twenty years, and now faculty lives are no longer Spartan, but Dr. Alston's concern with the physical sur- roundings of the faculty has continued to be a source of encouragement. He has recongnized the importance in these days of dealing considerately and openly with the matter of faculty salaries. It has only been since 1966 that Agnes Scott has joined colleges and un- iversities all over the nation in reporting its salary scale in the American Association of University Professors' Bulletin. In 1966 this was an act of courage: at that time our average salary had a rating of D, our minimum C. Today we are by no means at the top of the list, but we have made steady and substantial progress in comparison with colleges of comparable size and quality. Any faculty member today may know what our salary scale is, and be proud that Dr. Alston did not wait to be compelled by law to give women equal pay for work. Looking back at catalogues of two decades ago, I see that while we have in 1972-73 a larger percentage of men on the faculty and additional departments such as Speech and Drama and Philosophy have been added, nevertheless the relative number of women in administrative posts has actually increased; again a change not com- pelled by law. At present it happens that both the K Alston Margret G. Trotter, Professor of English Dean and the Assistant Dean of the Faculty are tradition. From time to time we have had the ad- women, and more women are chairing vantage of visting professors from India — two in departments than used to be the case.

Trotter In Praise of Br. Alston (continued) From tl?e Alumm the finest liberal arts colleges in our land. Agnes Scott has never been content to tread water. The past has been good, but not too good for her to try to be better. As fruitful as by-gone days have been, there has existed always a restlessness implying that more productive and comprehensive ways could be developed for at- taining Agnes Scott's goals. President Alston, assisted by capable administrators, has channeled this restlessness into freshness, into a vision of academic excellence and spiritual integrity, into a recommitment to the authentic contributions that Agnes Scott is capable of making in the lives of young women and in the soul of society at large. Curriculum opportunities, salary increases, sab- batical leaves, administrative responsibility, spiritual emphasis, social guide-lines — all of these areas need constant oversight and improvement year by year to win for the College the accolade "a great institution." President Alston has ad- dressed himself over and over again to these sen- sitive, crucial areas of the College's life. His philosophy includes the conviction that a campus community never "arrives" and is satisfied. It is, rather, always on pilgrimage, always striving toward significance, meaning, and worth. The cliche, "You can't charge for something that is being given away down the street," is clever and true.

In Praise of Dr. Alston [continued) From l To be president of a college or university, a per- son must be many different things-an ad- ministrator, and educator, a businessman, and a diplomat, to name only a few. This is especially true of anyone who attempts to run a "top" college, one with the high level of prestige that Agnes Scott has always maintained. The president must be aware of the separate interests of everyone connected with the college, and able to deal fairly with each for the good of the whole community. The demands of a small woman's college are somewhat greater than those of other schools. This president must fulfill all the re- quirements of the large university administrator with the added challenge to personality of the small college. Although every member of the college community judges the president on ever) aspect of his job, the student's assessment is based largely on personal characteristics. The availability and frequency of personal contact with the ad- ministration is one of the greatest assets of a small school, and the quality of this contact is an impor- tant determinant of the student's college ex- perience. Judging from Agnes Scott's reputation as an 11 academic institution, a student expects, when she first arrives, an academic president. He must be al Dr. Alston sits with guest author Lucy Brockman '74 during junior launt festivities that she anticipated being when she graduates-intelligent, intellectual, scholarly, able to see and feel with understanding, to teach anc learn with insight. He must be enthusiastic abou learning if he is to excite his student's imagination If a student is made to feel that her intelligence i! respected and her opinions valued, she will make a greater effort to develop both. There is an aura of the "master" about the college president, th( man who can speak intelligently, "off the cuff,' on almost any subject. And it is just as importan that he be able to listen. From the first moment that a girl walks onto the idents \an 74 campus, she is assured of her worth as a thinking, multitude of little things, the smallest touches of reasoning human being.

Alston 18 by Susannah Nlasten 59 Once she arrived, Madelaine Dunseith Alston never entirely managed to leave Agnes Scott. She entered college in 1924 and remembers her freshman year as "all fun". Those were the days of seated meals, with upperclassmen presiding. Dances were formal affairs. "And that was the day when girls danced with girls," Mrs. Alston recalls. When she left the following year to transfer to the Atlanta Conservatory of Music, she would never have guessed that she would return one day. Her sophomore year was a significant one. Recovering from a broken romance, she had vow- ed not to become invloved again for a long time. She loved to dance, however, and couldn't refuse an invitation to a "house dance" at the home of a Decatur friend, Callie Clarke '27. While a lively record was playing, an Emory student, Wallace Alston, cut in. "Later I remembered how nice he was," Mrs. Alston recalls, "and that he did a very good double shuffle, as it was called." Six years later Madelaine Dunseith and Wallace Alston were married and began building a partnership. "So much of me is Wallace," Mrs. Alston says today. "I definitely am my own person, but we just are a little team together." As first lady of the campus, Mrs. Alston has years at Agnes Scott."
