with renewed interest in Agnes I Scott ' s facade came a new and vital interest in athletics. We now enjoy the enthusiasm of four intercolle- giate sports, Volleyball, Soccer, Basketball, and Tennis. These sports provide students the opportunity to excel not only in the classroom but on the field as well. Participation in these activities en- courages development of the whole person, not just mental growth physical and emotional. Thro athletic competition many stud develop a healthy pride in knowledge of their own strenj and abilities. Along with this p comes the desire to succeed and prove. For Basketball player Ant Tonn, the competition provides positive release from the pressu of academics.

vtmi mmmMMM% — International Flare 8 ■ f%- •i On one routine jaunt across Agnes Scott ' s campus many visitors are surprised by the variety of languages they encounter. On a typical day one may hear Spanish, french, Vietnamese, Chinese, and an array of arabic tongues. It is not that we offer most languages of the world in the classroom (we don ' t), but that we attract students from most every continent. Agnes Scott students enjoy the benefits of international students that few colleges can offer. Senior, Laura Smith, says her exposure to students from radically different social and cultural backgrounds has changed her life. She has gained a better perspective on life in America as well as in foreign nations. What attracts these students to a relatively small college in Decatur, Georgia? Senior, Pilar Duque, from Cali, Colombia, admits that she came to Agnes Scott because of the recommendation of her sister, junior, Monica Duque. What brought Monica here? A book of the most competitive colleges in America. Pilar says her sister is success oriented, and Agnes Scott was a challenge for her. Tuba Goksel, a junior from Istanbul, Turkey, has an Agnes Scott heritage. Her mother is a graduate of Agnes Scott. During her three years at Agnes Scott, Tuba has gained a better understanding of herself. She has developed a strong independence which she attributes to being so far from home. For French assistant, Jeannie Lucie Fourneyron, the opportunity to come to the United States and to Agnes Scott was gratefully accepted. She was one of five applicants for the position of French Assistant. She is currently studying for her Matrise. A Matrise is approximately equivalent to our Master ' s degree. Each international student brings with her to Agnes Scott the uniqueness that her country affords. However, students are not the only international influence at Agnes Scott. There are many professors — from a variety of countries: Turkey, France, Germany and South Africa just to mention a few. Both students and faculty add a flare to Agnes Scott that few colleges can enjoy.
