ADAM ' S RIB Starring- Spencer TVacy ♦ Katharine Hepburn Released by M-G-M Judy HollidayTom Ewell Directed by George Cukor Written by Ruth Gordon -Garson Kanin Produced by Lawrence Weingarten Here again is the famous battle of the sexes, strictly without benefit of August Strindberg and waged in the home and courtroom shared by Adam Bonner (Tracy) and his wife Amanda (Hepburn). Although both are lawyers and given to calling each other Pinl y in their kittenish moments, there is no confusing their respective pronouncements on a woman ' s right to take a few compulsive potshots at a philandering husband ... A fre- quently funny harlequinade. - Vewsweek In such comedies asPat and Mike and Adam ' s Rib, Katharine Hepbum and SpencarTtsc, incarnate a perfect American couple; he, ruggedly classless and CYnicai, but sspansiveto her idealism, each the other ' s ideal foil.

You would not believe all the people i tTn rny Ta Quit a iroHherare olt of state and some of them are out of country Back to onent. I on ThTs whole week was full of activities such as a Showcase, Dr. Berte ' s picnic registration and cam- pus tlu The Srowcase included presentations from the Theatre department Dance department Art deoartmen and Music department. Freshmen and new students were assigned advisors and groups to mee iTh for the next month. I guess they were trying to get everyone acquainted and let our advisors now ' omething about us at the same time. Getting my classes wasn ' t too bad Everything was set up in Wely ballroom and members of the Triangle Club and volunteers helped pull cards. 1 bought my books. Definitely a harrowing experience. 120 I vkl Mom, Rush was a blast! I don ' t know if I ' ll go going from house to house and smiling pledge tests, and a few vague and Greek but my roommate and I are a great deal. Each night you ' re sup- .guarded traditions are attached as meeting practically the entire campus posed to narrow down your choice un- well. There are independents on cam- not to mention the rest of our class, til you ' ve either been partied out or de- pus but it seems everything revolves There are five sororities and four fra- cide to go Greek. Then there is a ritual around Greek events, ternities on campus. So far we ' re just of picking up a bid, pledging, taking 122 123 Mom, Lift; is rouoh. I ran out of quarters and the change m;ifjhine f]if;d. I thought maybe you would like to know about mundane things such as meals, classes, friends, and grades. The meals here really aren ' t all that bad. The people working the line are really in- teresting as well. (Halloween brought all sorts of surprises from them.) There are two meal plans here. One is for fourteen meals a week and the other is for twenty-one meals a week. I bought a fourteen- meal plan but I am finding it hard to eat all of those with all the other stuff I find myself doing. My classes are challenging but also entertaining at times. All the professors I have are not only excited about their subjects but also about their students and are usually understanding when it comes to their problems and small discoveries. I know the professors have taught the same material before, but it is hard to tell when they seem so interested in the classes. Now to grades. So much for that subject. I don ' t know. Maybe you will get a copy of midterm grades before I do. Think about it this way. College is not just for learning material in books and labs: college is a people experience. - r :- Mm ..ul .. 3 ' ! •ii.„r. i 1 . 128 g-i 129 ORPHEUS IN THE UNDERWORLD Music bv Jacques Offenbach English version by Ruth and Thomas Martin Bv arrangement with Theodore Presser Company, agent for Heugel Cie., Paris, pubhsher Cast of Characters Euridice Orpheus Pluto (Aristeus) Public Opinion Jupiter Cupid Venus Mercury Juno Diana Mars John Styx Morpheus Minerva Cvbele Hebe Bacchus Ruth Wiggins John Alford Michael Horton Julie Stapleton Eric Gray Cynthia Burbage JaneTempleton Richard Phillips Laura Fitch Mary Deyerle Kirk Alford Robert Pitts Suzanne Hughes Sandra Dean, Dawn Urquhart Karla Hamrick Dawn Urquhart, Sandra Dean Valrey Early Act I Scene I: Two cottages near Thebes, Ancient Greece Scene U: On Mount Olympus Act II: In Hades Scene I: Pluto ' s Quarters Scene II: Pluto ' s Banquet Hall There will be one fifteen minute intermission.

What talent! I am enclosing a program from Or- pheus. Some of my friends were in it, and they really put together a show. About four departments cooperated in staging the production. I was really impressed. Judy was a scream. I ' ve noticed some- thing else. These people are talented. I go to class with ' them, eat lunch with them, and talk to them in the elevators, but I didn ' t reahze the amount of crea- tivity and skill they have. They were other produc- tions on campus than Orpheus. The underground theatre put on several one-acts such as Crawling Ar- nold, Cop Out, and The Bald Suprano. In addition to the one-acts the theatre also put on four one-acts written and directed by students, in the In- troduction to Theatre class. The Theatre department looks promising. 132 Mom, Christmas vacation is approaching and everyone I know has the crazies, a dis- ease contracted during the exam season. We put a tree up with lights and every- thing. During the latter part of dead week (ha, ha) we had a Christmas party and ex- changed gifts. Someone in desperation hung mistletoe-everywhere. Next week exams start. My last exam is on Friday so I guess I ' ll be coming home Saturday. Let ' s see. The Carol Service was a big smash. I have an extra lab on Saturday. Greeks are having all sorts of parties. It seems like everyone is having a candle lighting around here. There is really not much to write about. People are going ice skating, going to the Tide, going to the Outlet, going to the library, and primarily going insane over exams. Doar Mom, Thought I ' d drop a note; b(;foi(; my 9:15. Interim is j oin sij quickly. I registered for my Spring courses. What a race! Bought my books and supplies. My loomy is on choir tour and everyone i.s taking it easy. I have a feeling it ' s going to catch up with me this next semester. Thr; people that went to Europe and Mexico are back already. There were all sorts of courses to take on campus. Some people chose to work in their home towns or observe something somewhf;re. I think there might be a new fraternity and a new sorority for next year. Some friends of mine went to the Boston concert. I don ' t know. I guess 1 should stick in some pithy insight but I don ' t have too many any more. All the things I was absolutely sure of at the beginning of the year have faded and thro ugh the great college experience I have learned that I don ' t know of any certainties. I don ' t even believe I ' ve even scratched the surface of what is to come. P. S.— Send money. 137 ORGANIZATIONS Baptist Campus Mill :i W ' A PHI O Claire Caldwell— President Charles Alkula Rick Nelson— Vice Presidents Teresa Franklin Suzanne Hogue— Secretaries Dennv Whitehurst— Treasurer MEMBERS Charles Alkula Randal Black Cindy Boling Claire Caldwell Richard Ellis Warren Feist Teresa Franklin Suzanne Hogue Daryl Masters Jay Morgan Rick Nelson Denny Whitehurst Mike Bevis Kat Blake Scott Bledsoe Elizabeth Cornelius Aedena Currv Richard Feist Cristall Garrett Darlene Gunter David HaU Laura Hanahan James Hill Mar ' Hubbard John King Lacy Matthews Nancy McCorkle Dean Monroe Stanley Neel Celia Terr - Leslie Weaver William Williamson Jerry Wood Brian Wvatt 141 f irf ■ W ' S ' WC rCollins, [oaflKostnfT, P;iij1;i Frnnkf;, Susan Gorman, Kris Hays, H ' V.

My Soul is Rested, is taken from a snippet of conversation with an old. tired, civil rights marcher. Someone asked the woman how she could go on because of the bone weariness of the march. Her remark was My feets is tired, but my soul is rested! Mr. Raines brought credit to our city and campus this past Monday as he addressed a convocation on the subject of Birmingham ' s recent history as regards the civil rights movement. His was an articulate and sobering account of our recent past and the hopeful comments of his final words to us are indeed an indication of the possibiliiies that are before us. They are. however, on y possibilities at this point. The struggle for racial justice and equality of relationship continues. While our city and campus have accomplished a great deal in recent years, we all are aware of shortcomings in our dealings with each other. It could be that, for many of us. tired feet is more of an appropriate reference than is rested souls. Mr. Raines spoke of the courageous speaking out of a few within our community and campus over a decade ago. He also reminded us of the uninvolved silence of most of us. He seemed to indicate that our actions spoke different words than our beliefs suggested. For hundreds of years now the Church has been know, at its best, as a community of belief and action. A gathering for worship, prayer and instruction was simply a prelude to a scattering for service in the world. Our worship on Sunday morning in Yeilding Chapel will seek to address the theme of the Church as a community of belief and action. Beginning this Sunday, October 15. we will have hot coffee and doughnuts available beginning at 9:30 a.m. for those who would like to have a simple breakfast prior to our time of worship. We begin at 10:00 a.m. We will try to address the paradox of tired feet and rested souls. Hope to see you there!

It is said that the best advertisement for a product is a satisfied customer. Certainly I am an enthusiastic user and am convinced of the values of studying foreign languages. I can assure you that many of my most stimulating and rewarding experiences in life have resulted from my knowledge of other languages and from the cultural and social contacts growing out of that interest. However, it is not necessary to specialize in language study in order to receive benefits. From their remotest beginnings, univer- sities of the western world considered a knowledge of a second language as basic in a search for further knowledge. It was the most direct way to broadening points of view, to deepening recognition of a single culture ' s limitations. Today, language study continues to be one of the greatest liberalizing experiences in the American plan of education, for it breaks down barriers of a single speech and of a single culture and offers us the impact of other value judgments, other psychologies, other forms of beauty. Too many persons assume the attitude of my three-year-old daughter who rebelled against my telling her the name of objects in Spanish. Tell me the truth of it! she would insist — and the truth for her was English. This attitude of rigidity and smugness is found in many adults who have missed the varied experiences of foreign language study. That which a person gains from trying to penetrate and to understand another culture and its truth is. to me, a paramount reward of study, whether one ever achieves a high degree of skill or ever uses his language study in a practical way. It is certain that even a limited study of other languages gives the student a new perspective on his native tongue and on its flaws and virtues.

Interiin south of the border This Interim Term there will be a unique opportunity for students who are interested in Spanish and especially Mexican culture. Drs. Grace Marquez and Paul Romjue will be taking a group of students to Mexco for an optional two week or three week stay. They will be studying Mexico - past, present and future. The cost of the trip depends on the length of stay. The two week trip will run somewhere in the neighborhood of $450, for three weeks the cost will run ap- proximately $600. This estimated cost in- cluded food, room and air fare. One week of the trip will be spent in Mexico City, which has been called the Paris of the America . Another week will be spent in the country side visiting ar- cheological sites. Such places as the Shrine of Ouadalupe, the ruins of the Aztec market of TIateloco, followed by the fabulous Pyramids of the Sun and Mfx n will be vis ited. For those students who elect to stay a third week there will be a visit to the state of Veracruz. Students will be able to enjoy the beach in January and visit some of the many Indian villages scattered through the state. The students on the trip have the option of a grade or pass fail, but all students will be required to keep a journal of their ex- periences. The trip will be an exciting and fascinating way to spend interim term. Students will see Mexico from the urban centers of Mexico City and L ' niversily-city to the rural settings of Oaxaca and Veracruz. Any questions can be answered by either Dr. Marquez or Dr. Romjue. classified 15CC Allnat Happ Faculty member needs a Monday — Thursday from 787-4776. Babysitter on 2—5:30.

EDITOR Southern Accent 1 r Baseball _ . 184 ::i ' ' ' rr- Last winter, under the direction of Dr. Jim Koger and Mr. Michael Walker, a soccer team was born at BSC. In its first season with the Alabama Soc- cer League, the team compiled a record of 2 wins. 3 losses, and 1 tie. But that bare record does not reveal what Southern ' s first soccer season proved: that BSC could field a respectably com- petitive team, even with mostly inexperienced players who were learning the game. In a letter to potential new players. Dr. Jim Koger said, l enthusiasm established with this first effc: ' the recognized potential of our returning players makes us confident that we can look forward to a better season record and much better soccer this year. 185 ■ ik -- -:- ' ' -■ liiA Indications of the support for soccer at BSC can be seen in that a line-item budget for the sport has been established for the 1978-79 season, projecting a 20 game season for fall and spring combined. Also, in the hope of establishing soccer as a fall sport at Southern, a field has been readied for the fall season on campus and regulation goals have been purchased. 186 Although the team is still orgynized on ;i clut) hijsis. v;irsity iritercolleojate soc- cer must be paired with an additional women ' s sport because of TITLE IX rogulations-the entry into official NAIA competition is virtually assurfid if the program continues to grow and gain the support of the whole college community. . . . from Pawprints Daryl Masters Hilltop News ■ v - ' ' A 18 Eternal Flame: When all else fails, We just :%1 Again! w ' ' ' « • '  ' iii ' f% - t ' i ' .

The screams, shouts, clapping, and crying to overjoyed actives and pledges indeed adds a picturesque moment to bid pickup at BSC. From the ripping open of envelopes by sorority pledges to the cheers of the fraternities, the steps of the fountain on bid day seems just like yesterday to every Greek on campus.

From the long hours of rush to the crazy minutes of Greek Week members of the Greek life can find happiness and purpose. Keeping busy with intramural sports, lyrics in the Greek Sing, Mixers, and studying together, Greeks aid each other in the 234 h academic and social aspects of their college life. Competition between the fraternities and the sororities exists; but just enough to insure the level of friendship to those men and women who so actively and vivaciously make the BSC campus a more interesting place to live.

' .  - A man we shall call Great meandered forth one dark day . . ., playing a tune on a reed pipe. Over his head, and all else, were clouds-clouds that concealed the Sun, its warmth, and its light, from him. He tried to reconcile himself by saying, Who can tame the wind or turn the clouds at his request? For the moment, the clouds piirtcui, allowinj a heam to strike the ground below. He understood now that such things should not be p(;rmitled to deny thi; light of the source from all men. Being so decichid, he set off on a journey to reach above the clouds and to attain a position from which th(!y could not cast a dark shadow over him. As he walked on, the earth cried after him. Calling him by name, Ihc; earth clutched with fingers of verdant jurisdiction. Holding fast lo his pipe;, he ran Ihusly pursued and harried on all sides. That whic;h he thought his friiMids now followird closi! behind, and he fled before Now and (hen as he broke into the clearings, they would lose pace behind him. By way of clinging, he es- caped them; they were finally too far behind to ever catch up. Then through the trees; he saw the Transcen- dant Mountains that climbed the sky to the sun. This mighty rock could convey him to the Sun ' s doorstep. i : ■ ' .•.•- .■- He started to climb the mighty mound of rock and earth. He found it, however, less easy than he had thought. From a distance, he could not see the many caverns, pit- falls, and general obstructions. He then realized that in order to ascend to the Sun he would have to forego his beloved reed pipe. At once he relinquished it and set off. He gazed transfixed at the junction of the mountain and the sky. He soon found that the mountain had the solu- tion to the problems of ascendancy. An overhang of rock, for instance, allowed him to pass by the vicious holes. He also found that by climbing close to the rock, while on the precarious pathways, he could remain true to his course. Now, each problem overcome, he approached the summit of the tallest mountain, but he looked neither left, right, nor behind, keeping his eyes on his destination. As he climbed, he thought of the paradox of the mountain being its own solution. •-■ -« i : d 280 After climbing through the seal of clouds, he made his way to the top. As he broke through the last remaining vestiges of cloud, the light shone full upon him, and he was pleased. Below him were the clouds that had so soon before held the dark cudgeon o ' er his head. Now he was the master of the clouds. Surveying all around him from the summit, his heart grew tranquil, and a great peace eased his mind as if a great load had been lifted from his trembling brow. Turning to the right, he saw a sight that made his heart leap, a golden flute. 281 4j - .%- - c • f% ' As h«! (If Iht; {•olden flulc o hislips iiiiil pitrwind iiilo il.-.sm:h liquiti m(!l(iiUi!.
