The Guarneri String Quartet performed in Gaines Auditorium Monday evening, October 14. October was a busy month at Agnes Scott. Crowded in between Honor ' s Day and the Frost Centennial and Black Cat was an excellent performance by the inter- nationally famous Guarneri String Quartet. Admission was free and open to the entire community, and the concert was well attended. A reception in Rebekah Reception followed the performance. November brought with it a new conscious- raising in the Bio-ethics Conference. In order to fa- miliarize the students with the issues involved in bio- ethics the conference was preceded by three seminars. The topics of the seminars were those which were to be discussed at the main conference — genetic research and its attending problems, euthanasia, and the problems associated with human experimentation. These seminars were well attended and helped to stimulate interest in the conference itself, held November 6-8. Continuing on the high plane of intellectual stimu- lation in which Agnes Scott prides itself was the lec- ture given by Phi Beta Kappa visiting scholar Hazel Barnes. Ms. Barnes, a professor at Colorado Universi- ty, addressed the topic of Existentialism and Alien- ation January 13 in MacLean Auditorium. Ms. Barnes also spoke to a psychology class here on campus. While at Agnes Scott Ms. Hazel Barnes, Phi Beta Kappa guest lecturer, spoke to the Contemporary Theories in Psychology class. |
