FRITZ AND SCH MIDT Whistle Stop At Agnes Scott Students were greeted on the first day of fall ' 84 by canceled classes and television crews as Presidential candidate Walter Mondale paid Agnes Scott a whirlwind visit. He was greeted by a dining hall full of (mostly) cheering students, many wearing Mondale Ferraro placards. Many local and state officials were also present to greet Mr. Mondale. President Schmidt presented the candidate with an Agnes Scott sweatshirt as a momento of his trip to the campus, and also gave him one for Ms. Ferraro. After Sam Nunn and Bert Lance introduced him, Mr. Mondale spoke about the campaign issues which he believed were crucial, and then spent some time fielding students ' questions. President Schmidt and Mr. Mondale are both Minnesota natives, and the candidate jokingly commented that he had hopes the nation would follow ASC ' s example and elect a Minnesota President. Unfortunately the country didn ' t take the hint. Maybe he should have put President Schmidt on the ticket instead of Ferraro. Fritz Schmidt sounds better than Mondale Ferraro on anyday!!

LOOK, UP IN THE SKY! It ' s a bird; it ' s a plane, NO! IT ' S THE PILOTS! There they go, into the wild, blue yonder . . . and they actually won the games! What a phenomenon! ' 86 and ' 88, we are sexy, we are great, chanted the freshmen and juniors as they combined to trounce the seniors and sophomores in the Black Cat Games, coming in first and sec- ond respectively. (The juniors found some unbeatable volleyball players in Mary Carter Whitted and Katie Milligan — What a serve Katie!) The sophomores were first in the song competition with their sister class song, A Dream of Yesterday , juniors were second with their infamous whangs, the seniors judicious advice to the freshmen won third place, and the freshmen were (alas) last. The coveted Black Kitty went to the juniors this year. Second place in games, decorations, song, and their irrespressible spirit won the day for the class of ' 86. The freshmen presented their class mascot to the campus com- munity at the traditional bonfire, beginning by singing the Meow mix song for the benefit of the deceived sophomores who be- lieved them to be the Aristocats. Then they righted the misconcep- tion by announcing their rightful mascot — the Pilots.
