The China Year on Campus
what is life like in the terra incognita of Mao Tse-tung? Alumni who attend the China Year Program on the Greensboro campus this year will understand a great deal more about what goes on behind the Bamboo Curtain, because an im.pressive array of China experts has been invited to campus to lecture on various aspects of Chinese life. A brief introduction to China, past and present, is provided on these pages by Professor Lenoir Wright.
by Dr. Lenoir C. Wright
The eight trigrams shown above are said to have been created by the legendary emperor, Fu Hsi (2852- 2738 B.C.), to represent aspects of nature. In this ar- rangement prosperity is insured. (In the / Ching oi Book of Changes, a book of divination, the trigrams are arranged in the form of hexagrams as shown.) In the center of the hexagram are the alternating forces of the universe: Yin (earth, passive, female, weak, dark) and Yang (heaven, active, male, strong, light).
China's recorded history begins with the ^ Shang Dynasty in about' 1500 B.C. This ^^^^ Dynasty was conquered by the Chou Dynasty J ^^^P ca. 1027; hovve\'er, this dynasty slowly began M ^^^ to disintegrate. In its last stage, in a period V PV^ known as "The Warring States," beginning in W 403 B.C., there was increasing ci\il strife. It
is remarkable that during such a period there should occur an intellectual upsurge known as "The 100 Schools" during which various ideologies "contended" to offer a solution to the chaos of the times. Prominent among them were : Taoism ( Do Nothing ) , Legalism ( Rewards and Punishment ) and Confucianism (Indi\iduals Radiating Goodness). The Chin Dynasty which conquered the Chou in 221 B.C. unified China again and adopted the authoritarian Legalist ( Law and Order) theory. This pro\ed too harsh, especially since it involved a "burning of the books" of opposing ideolog- ies, and the Chin was replaced bv the Han Dvnasty in 206 B.C.
It was the Han Dynast}- that set the standard for the imperial pattern which was to prevail with man\- dynastic changes and barbarian interludes until 1911. The Con- fucian system which was adopted by the Han is in considerable measure responsible for gi\ing continuity' to China. Howe\er, it is important to note that some elements of Chin Legalism were retained: in other words, it was necessary to have some "Law and Order" in the control of the empire. While the Emperor, the Son of Hea\en, had great power, the administration was in the hands of a group of officials who were selected on the basis of showing in the ci\-il service examinations. The antiquity of such a method of selecting bureaucrats

Although Chiang K'ai-shek had limited suc- cess in relieving the pressure of Western imperialism and in modernization, it is clear that his "rule" was not a success.
is \\orth\- of note, but e\en more remarkable is the fact that the content of these examinations was the Con- fucian Classics. The aim was to produce administrators who excelled in moral goodness. Dynasties rose and fell, but the Confucian system continued. In part this was due to the fact that the historically-minded Chinese were proud of their way of life. China, until the brutal intrusion of the West, regarded itself as the "Central Kingdom." All others were barbarians. The system was also perpetuated because China remained an agricultural society with basically two classes: the small group of scholar-gentry-officials who ruled and the mass of peas- ants who were ruled. The amount of upward mobility' provided by the examination system, which theoretically was open to all, is a matter of debate. In any event, no substantial middle class emerged, and there was no in- dustrial re\olution, despite some trends to the contrary' during the Sung Dynast)' and despite some very interest- ing inventions such as gunpowder and the magnetic compass.
Beginning in the 18th and 19th centuries, the West which had had a successful scientific and industrial rev- olution forced its way into China, shattering the delicate fabric of Chinese ci\ilization. The Chinese, humiliated, were unable effectively to respond to this intrusion. Wracked for many years by internal re\ olt, the Ch'ing or Manchu Dynasty was overthrown in 1911 and a RepubUc under the leadership of Dr. Sun Yat-sen was established. Dr. Sun renounced Confucianism and embraced Western ideology, but the Republic did not prosper. China con- tinued to be exploited by Western imperialism and powerful regional "warlords" prevented the unification of the country.
In March 1925, Sun died, frustrated and embittered. For two years there was a col- laboration between the Chinese Communists and the Nationalist Kuomingtang, with Rus- sian ad\isers playing a significant role. In 1927, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, who had gained a considerable military following through his position as Commandant of the Wampoa Military Academy, seized power. He turned against the Communists and destroyed their urban bases of power. One remnant, led by Mao Tse- tung, fled into the countryside and established a Chinese Soviet in the Hunan-Kiangsi border area. After a number of failures, Chiang's troops forced Mao and his followers to undertake the famous "Long March", a journey of
some 6,000 miles through the back country of China and ultimately up to Yenan in the North West.
Although Chiang K'ai-shek had limited success in relieving the pressure of Western imperiahsm and in modernization, it is clear that his "rule" was not a success. Among the factors causing his final downfall are the corruption, not by Chiang but by some of his officials; a failure to institute land reform; the growing strength of Mao and the Chinese Communists; and the Japanese in- vasion beginning in 19.38. Eventually, the Japanese con- trolled most of the eastern seaboard, with the Nationalist government being forced to retreat up the Yangtse river to Chungking.
The World War II years were years of frustration for the Chiang government. The Generalissimo deployed his best troops, not against the Japanese but against the Chinese Communists, and hoarded the rest for the final showdown which he felt would come after the war. Because of difficulties of supply and problems of dis- tribution, China experienced terrible inflation which e\'en massive infusions of United States aid could not stop. In contrast, the Chinese Communists expanded their control and influence in the countryside and suc- cessfully put guerrilla pressure on the Japanese, con- fining them to the large cities. As soon as the Japanese surrendered, open ci\il war broke out between the two contestants for power, despite the effort of the U.S. Marshall mission to effect a compromise sharing of power. With United States material assistance, Chiang's troops achieved some initial successes, but by late 1947 the tide had begun to turn in fa\'or of the Communists. Disaster piled on disaster for the Nationalists, and in 1949 Chiang was forced to retreat to Taiwan ( Formosa ) where he set up his government as, according to his claim, the legally entitled government of mainland China.
Now in ph\sical control of mainland China,
^k^ the Chinese Communists proceeded to set up
ffV the People's Republic of China. In the early
^^ years of the People's Repubfic, except for the
^^L rich landlords who were liquidated (estimates
^K^ vary widely but the number seems to have
^^ ■ been in the millions), various classes of soci-
I ety, i.e., middle peasants, petty bourgeoisie,
f intellectuals and even capitalists were in-
' \ited to share in the rebuilding of the new
China; however, it is clear that the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) held the reigns of power in its hands. In
the beginning, the Soviet model was followed closely.

It was the youth, especially those of poor peasant and worker origin, whom Mao hoped would perpetuate his revolution.
that is to say, emphasis on heavy industry, with the agricultural sector being "squeezed." Russian financial aid and technical assistance were important until 1960 when suddenly it was withdrawn. Thereafter, relations between these two Communist powers drifted from bad to worse, resulting ultimately in serious military border clashes.
On the domestic scene, Mao and his colleagues slowly tightened totalitarian control. Every aspect of national life — art, education, politics, economics — was harnassed to the service of the state. By 1956, Mao felt so secure that he called "a hundred flowers to bloom and a hundred schools to contend," a poetic reference to the "100 schools" of the late Chou Dynast}' and in\oIving an in\itation to criticize his "regime." The results were starthng. Not only did the intellectuals condemn bureau- cratic mismanagement but some even dared openly to criticize Communist Party doctrine. Such heresies could not be tolerated and reprisals were visited upon these "bourgeoisie rightists."
Encouraged by the success of the First Five Year Plan, completed in 1957, and mislead by overenthusiastic reports of agricultural successes, the government, in 19.58, launched the "Great Leap Forward." The key was a shift from collectives into People's Communes. Involving units of approximately 10,000 workers, the Commune was designed to fulfill multiple objectives. Two stand out. First, this large, mobile rural force could be used in non-seasonal agricultural activity to build dams, irrigation projects, "backyard furnaces," etc., without any sub- stantial capital investment. China's surplus population was thus to become an asset. Second, since the Commune involved use of communal kitchens, the abandonment of all private property and the break-up of the family, Mao could and did tell the Russians that by this act of entry into "pure" communism, a step not yet taken in the USSR, China had demonstrated its ideological super- iority in the Communist world. However, three years of natural disasters, plus vigorous peasant resistance, forced a widespread retreat from the Commune system. Mao himself came under severe criticism from Liu Shao-ch'i and other party leaders. He seemingly suffered a political eclipse and disappeared from public view. There were even rumors of his death.
Actually, Mao was only regrouping his forces. In 1965, from his base at Shanghai and with the aid of General Lin Piao, head of the People's Liberation Army, his wife, Chiang Ch'ing and others, Mao launched his
Great Cultural Proletarian Revolution. Beginning in May 1965, with an attack on several Peking literary figures who were condemned for indirectly satirizing Chairman Mao and Maoist principles, the net was widened to in- clude a number of prominent Party leaders who had dared to criticize iMao for the failure of the "Great Leap." The ultimate target was Liu Shao-ch'i, Mao's heir desig- nate. Certain details remain even now obscure to the China Watchers, but it would seem that Mao's deeper purpose was to insure a "Continuing Revolution." At age 72, Mao felt that bureaucrats in the CCP and the gov- ernment had abandoned their revolutionary fervor for the security of jobs and a higher standard of living, just as had happened in the USSR. The chief instrumentality for rooting out these "Capitalist Roaders " was the Red Guard (highschool and college students), aided by the PLA. It was the \outh, especially those of poor peasant and worker origin whom Mao hoped would peipetuate his revolution. Schools and colleges were closed. The Red Guard literally roamed the whole of China, attack- ing the educational establishment and inflicting violence and humiliation on numerous Party and government leaders, many of whom were purged. However, violence coupled with factional fighting among the Red Guard became so intense that beginning in 1967 Mao ordered the PL.\ to suppress the rambunctious \outh. By 1968, the militant students were dispersed to the countryside. It is still too earh' to assa\' fulh- the eonse(iuences of this momentous Cultural Re\olution, especialK' those of a long-range nature. We do know that for about t\\o years schools and colleges were closed, transportation was snarled and industrial and agricultural output suf- fered. The Red Guard, having tasted power, are now dispersed and frustrated; no one knows what future role they will play. One thing is clear and that is that the PLA greatly strengthened its position. Army men are in control of key centers of power in the Party and the government. Educational reform effected during the Cul- tural Revolution stresses "Redness" o\er "E.xpertness." At the same time, there has been a concerted effort to improved production in agriculture and industr}" with seeming success although hard statistical data is not available. In general, the moderates led by Premier Chou En-lai seem to be in control, and the People's Republic appears to be turning its attention to the outside world. However, clear outlines of the future course of the People's Republic are not discernible, at least to this writer. D

The China Year Program at unc-g
1971-1972 seems destined to mark the emergence of the People's Republic of China from its largely self- imposed isolation and the beginning of a search for a more public role in world affairs. Its chances of being seated in the United Nations this fall seem excellent and there is also a pretty good chance of a resumption of official relations with the USA.
Our purpose in organizing a "China Year" program for the campus of UNC-G is to bring to the attention of faculty- and students a \ariety of \iewpoints designed to show the complexity and magnitude of the problems that we and the rest of the world will be facing in dealing with Mainland China. At the same time, we feel that China's importance lies not so much in terms of crisis or problems but in human values. One certainly does not have to endorse or support the policies of the present regime in China in order to appreciate the fact that we cannot continue to ignore a country with 700-800 million people, with a continuously recorded history dating back to 1500 B.C. and with a rich cultural heritage.

SHANG DYNASTY - An inverted, helmet-shaped bowl used for ceremonial purposes in relifiious festivals in ll(K) B.C. has a striking design — a gluttonous monster so greedy it has eaten its lower jaw.
CHOU DYNASTY - This bronze vase is actually a Sung copy (fifth to third century B.C.) of the late Chou period.
T'ANG DYNASTY - Considered to be the peak of Chinese civilization, the Tang dynasty was an era of great peace and material progress ilue to the absence of xenophobia which led at other periods to China's isolation from the world. The terra cotta figure of the camel boy is representative of the animal and people figures which were buried in the tombs of the Chinese nobles, a practice which replaced the custom of burying live animals and live servants, both of whom objected strenuoush'.
MING DYNASTY - The terra cotta candlestick, repre- senting a pilgrim with arms raised to his hat, reflects the influence of Central Asia, brought o\er caravan routes from the Middle East in the fourteenth cen- tury. The cast iron head of Buddha is .also Ming (late fifteentli centur>') as well as tlie porcelain garden seat (seventeenth century).

The China Year
Behind the Scenes
Weeks before the famous ping-pong tournament in China and President Nixon s decision to visit the Chinese main- land, two members of the faculty, Dean Katherine Taijlor and Professor Lenoir Wright, icere planning a series of China "events" for the Greensboro campus.
Lenoir C Wright
by Erskine Walther 71 Graduate Student
"I dare say you liavent Iwd mucJi practice." Said the Queen. . . . "WJiy, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
Lewis Carroll
THE seemingly impossible or at least improbable is more often than not 'old hat' to Dr. Lenoir Wright, who is himself a somewhat improbable indi\idual. A full professor in both the History and Political Science Departments, Dr. Wright chairs the committee which directs UNC-G's International Studies Program and is the personification of the University's Asian Studies Program. His interest in Asian affairs began during the second world war when Dr. Wright ser\'ed
in the Pacific with the United States Navy. It has never ceased.
In addition to impressive academic credentials (B.A. from Chapel Hill, B.A. and M.A. from Oxford, M.A. and Ph.D. from Columbia and a Harvard Law degree), Dr. Wright brings a rich panorama of personal experience to the classroom, ranging from an archaeological dig in the Israeli desert to chmbing Mount Fuji in Japan. His shdes from these numerous trips pro\ide an ad- ditional exciting and important element to his interesting lectures. ( His teaching was recognized in 1969 when he received the Alumni Teaching Excellence Award). E.\- periences gained in his personal journeys as well as dur- ing his two Fulbright's — the first one, a year teaching in Baghdad, and the latest, a summer of work in India — add a touch of personal knowledge to political and cultural situations which often seem remote and puzzling to the western student.
One of the aims of this year's special program on China is to make this fascinating yet perplexing land more inteUigible to the westerner. The China Year will draw on experience gained in 1968 when Dr. Wright and Miss Taylor directed a highly successful program of lectures, films and exhibits celebrating the restoration of the Meiji Emperor in Japan in 186S. The program plan- ned for the China Year promises to not only equal but 'to surpass the Meiji Centennial program.
When asked about the nature of knowledge, Con- fucius replied : "When you see a thing that you know — to recognize that you know it, and when you see a thing that you do not know — to recognize that you do not know it; that is knowledge." Thanks to Dr. Wright many of us belong to the first category and by the conclusion of the China Year many more may ha\e joined. D

Katherine H. Taylor
by Jim Lancaster '72
THE first impression a student has of Dean Katherine Taylor is quite imposing. This is due in large part to her bearing and manner. She is in every way a person who commands and deserves respect. The reasons for this last statement are several — Dean Taylor is an individual who obviously enjoys the work which is hers to do. Her position as Dean of Student Services is not the first in which responsibility has been placed upon her shoulders. She graduated from Woman's College in 1928; was awarded the Weil Fellowship and recei\'ed her master's degree at RadcHffe College. She studied in France and returned to Woman's College as a member of the Romance Languages Department and Counselor. She served two years in the United States Navy, Wo- men's Reserve, with a commission of Lt. (j.g. ). She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Those are not nciirly all of her accomplishments but they give one the necessary background to see that her achievements have been many. But all of these things still do not explain what makes Dean Katherine Taylor the fascinating, vibrant individual that she is. Her secret, which is no secret at all, is her desire to learn. Whenever one talks with her, it is obvious that she is interested. Each new subject is a fresh forest to be entered and explored. Her interests range from the daily occurrences at UNC-G to the hap- penings of historical China. It is this last subject that has given rise to her latest project, a China year at UNC-G. Along with Dr. L. C. Wright, professor of History, and Nancy CundifF, President of the UNC-G International Relations Club, Dean Taylor has planned a China year that will closely resemble the Japanese year held in 1968-"69. With the current interest in China, such a project would seem an obvious choice. Ob\ious,
that is, until one is informed that the idea for such a year-long activity was first considered long before the current excitement over China began. It is this type of insight that makes knowing Dean Taylor something of an experience in itself. I believe one of her greatest thrills is to spring something completely unexpected upon a friend. When the noted China authority, Edgar Snow, had been engaged to lecture during the China year at UNC-G, Dean Taylor calmly entered her office the following morning and quietly made the surprise known to all. Her calm was sharply contrasted by the exclama- tions of persons such as myself \sho had abandoned all hope of e\er seeing Snow in person.
But most significant to understanding the admiration so many students as well as others hold for Dean Taylor is her wisdom. It seems that no matter what the question, she is either well informed as to the answer or can tell one where to find the answer. Hers is not the t\pe of wisdom that causes others to feel ignorant, but a t\'pe that inxites sharing and further understanding of what- ever problem arises.
The purpose of this brief description has not been to flatter nor to make Dean Taylor seem like some god. Rather it is an attempt to show that in a time when so many individuals are looking upon students as so many faceless numbers. Dean Katherine Ta\lor sees each stu- dent, each person, as an indi\idual who has worth and something of importance to tell as well as to karn. It is this last element that is of ke\' importance. The abifitx- to appreciate the best before looking for the worst in others has allowed UNC-G's Dean of Student Senices to span the so called generation gap with ease. D

Fashions, Furniture Reflect Chinese Influence
by Annie Lee Singletary '31
Barbara Davis Lamliert '65 models an at-Jwme goivn tvhich reflects the Chinese influence both in pattern and slit skirt. Barbara, mother of a daughter, models reg- ularly for Laurie's in Greensboro's Friendly Shopping Center.
FOR the Chinese, it's the Year of the Pig. For Americans, it's the Year of the Chinese — in fashions and in home furnishings, too.
Chinese influence has never actually been absent from the scene, however, even in days of the Bamboo Curtain. Chinese women were wearing trousers long before the pantsuit was bom. And Chinese forms and motifs prevailed in furniture before "early American" was even concei\ed.
Two hundred years ago, the "Chinese craze" first invaded British homes by way of Thomas Chippendale and his fellow furniture-makers. So great was its impact on Gothic England that William Whitehead, its poet- laureate, wrote that people were making fools of them- selves "after the Chinese manner" to the extent that "even the most vulgar utensils are reduced to this new-fangled standard."
Today, in dozens of furniture plants of the area, new furniture is being made using such Chinese characteristics as the pagoda-shape, the inward-cur\ing clubfoot table leg, massive brass hardware, fretwork, lattice-work, cane and bamboo. The fine art of Chinoiserie is also being revived in elaborate decoration of cabinets, chests and desks, and ancient Chinese screens are being copied. Lacquer-bright red, blue, yellow and white are being used more and more as finishes for furniture with hard, shining black as the best accent.
It was all going on before President Nixon announced his intention of visiting China. But no one will deny that the ping-pong sortie and his travel plans have generated some of the Chinese feeling and the Chinese "look."
With everything from Dragon Lady robes to Mao's peasant jackets being forecast for early spring fashions, it may be that, by the time NLxon gets to China, people on the streets of New York will look just like those in Peking. The mandarin collar, the coolie hat, deep arm- holes, wide sleeves, side closings (with frogs), slit skirts, opulent embroidery, quilting and sensuous silks and satins — all are being promoted in the fashion world with the noise and fanfare of a Chinese firecracker. — From California comes word that the Chinese look is shaping up even in swimsuits with floor-length mandarin shirts as cover-ups.— In New York, mandarin robes are replacing the caftan and wide, Chinese pants are even supplanting blue jeans. — In Paris, Yves St. Laurent put coolie hats on models for his fall opening.
New gift shops specialize in Oriental art and antiques, Chippendale and Queen Anne furniture. A cosmetics firm is advocating a new make-up that looks like Chinese porcelain, and chopsticks are used to keep Chinese hair st\les in place. Jade and i\ory jewelry is increasing in popularity'.
The same lacquer shades such as mandarin red and Chinese blue carry over into clothing, too, along with fabulous Oriental prints that make fabrics a part of the Sino-trend, too. And Chinoiserie has pro\ided patterns for embroidery on jackets and dresses and has been the inspiration for some fabric prints. D

Julius Foust
A Man for His Season
by Mildred Harrington Lynch '13
Dr. Julius Foust, second president of the University at Greensboro.
^^\/y ANY alumnae of Dr. Foust's era confess that in / n I their student days they saw him mainly as a father figure — a kind, wise counselor who was always firm and could be stem, if occasion demanded. Almost unanimously they say that their first feeling in recalling Dr. Foust is one of deep aifection.
Others — especially those who found themselves on the other side of a question — remember him with grati- tude for according them the statvis of equals when he disagreed with them. They tell you that the twinkle in the gray eyes behind his glasses often contradicted his grave manner in face-to-face encounters. Said one: "He never condescended to us; he was always fair." Another: "He did not force-feed us his ideas but challenged us to think clearly and honestly on our own." And a third: "The really big thing was. Dr. Foust knew how to listen."
To members of the faculty whom he served succes- sively as colleague, dean, and president of the college, he was patient with shortcomings and tolerant of frustra- tions. However, tradition has it that during his presidency,
a discouraged or disgruntled teacher rarely talked out his troubles with Dr. Foust without regaining his faith in himself and enthusiasm for his job.
To his family he was a tender and loving husband and father.
To the embattled legislators trying desperately to make ends meet in Raleigh, he was a stubborn fellow who would stop at nothing to wring out of them the money he needed to provide the young women of North Carolina with an education that would open their minds to the future and strike ofi^ the shackles of the past. Even so, it is unlikely that he would have been popular with today's Women's Lib, for Julius Foust was not concerned with enlarging the feminine ego but with extending wo- man's vision of her potentiality to serve.
He was a practical man. At no point did he forget that it would take money to do what he felt in his very marrow must be done.
And where else but from the State could the money come?

Very well. He would find a way to loosen the purse strings guarded so zealously by those good men and true on Capitol Hill. Passion lent him eloquence. One crustv lawTTiaker is said to have complained that "Foust would take the last dollar out of the till to give those girls over in Greensboro a bigger laboratory or a high- priced professor with a lot of new-fangled ideas." But let us go back to the beginning of the Julius Foust story.
WHO were this man's forebears? What were the circumstances of his growing up? What forces shaped him, determined his destiny and, through him, the destinies of thousands of children not yet born?
In her painstaking and delightful account of Dr. Foust's life, Ethel Stephens Amett° tells us that he was born November 23, 1865, on a farm near the little town of Graham, North Carolina, less than a half -day's leisurely buggy ride from the thriving metropolis of Greensboro. His parents, both members of prominent families, were Thomas Carbry and Mary Robbins Foust. Among his kinsmen were such distinguished citizens as Chief Justice Thomas Ruffin, the textile pioneer Edwin M. Holt and the latter's son. Governor Thomas M. Holt. He was also related to Judge Archibald D. Murphey who has been called "the father of the North Carolina public school system".
His mother was a graduate of Greensboro Female Seminary, now Greensboro College; his father, a man of exceptional moral and intellectual stamina, was largely self-educated. Thomas Foust early made up his mind that his children — Julius was the eldest of eight — should have the chance at schooling that he had missed. The cultural climate of the Foust home is admirably conveyed by Mrs. Amett: "No matter how demanding the farm work might be at the time, Thomas Foust took his sons to hear every speaker of note who visited the community. . . . Mary Robbins Foust always said to her children 'When you go to college'; never 7/ you go'. . . ."
Remember that Julius Foust was bom barely six months after the close of the War between the States. For many years thereafter. North Carolina had no public schools. Education, especially at the elementary level, was largely a matter of catch as catch can. Children were often taught by parents and older siblings. To a degree, this was the case in the Foust household. Fortunately, Thomas Foust and his wife had impressed on their off- spring that where there is a will to learn, a way can be found.
Again relying on Mrs. Arnett, we learn that young Jule had his first formal schooling at Graham Academy and Graham Normal School, forerunners of Elon College. Until he was nineteen, he worked on his father's farm in spring and summer and attended classes a few months in the winter. When he was twenty, with fifty cents in his pocket and his head full of dreams, he set out for Chapel Hill and the oldest State University in America.
When he put his case candidly to the University pres- ident, he was advised to wait until he was better prepared academically and better heeled financially. Undaunted,
Julius persisted, gained a rather grudging admission, and looked up an aunt in the village who took in students as boarders. In his aunt's house he washed dishes and tutored her children; on the campus he picked up such odd jobs as were available. At the end of his second year at the University, he had earned a creditable record in his courses, and he was free of debt.
AT this point, like many young men of his generation, he interrupted his studies to teach a couple of years. In 1888 with cash in the bank and high hopes for the future, he returned to "The Hill." Two years later, he emerged from Academe with the degree of bachelor of philosophy. He was committed to teaching. At the tiom of the century, public schooling was just getting under way in North Carolina. Qualified teachers were in de- mand. He knew he would have no trouble in landing a job. But he would not hurry. He would look around.
By design or chance, or maybe a fittle of both, he landed in just the right spot for a serious young peda- gogue: he was appointed principal of the graded schools in Goldsboro. At the end of a year, he was called to Wilson to serve as superintendent of schools. Three years later, when he returned to Goldsboro to assume the superintendency of the entire school system, he took with him not only the valuable administrative experience he had garnered in Wilson but also a beautiful young wife. She was the former SalHe Price, daughter of Henry F. Price, a highly respected surveyor.
Julius Foust was fully aware of the challenge of his new position. Goldsboro had been the training ground for such fellow crusaders in education as Mclver, Aycock, Alderman and Joyner. Eight busy, rewarding years fol- lowed before he was tapped in 1902 by Charles Duncan Mclver, founder and president of the State Normal College at Greensboro, to head the pedagogy department.
Professor Foust was quick to realize that training young women to teach in the struggUng pubUc school system of the State would greatly expand the scope of his service to North Carofina. Like Dr. Mclver, he believed that if you educate a man, you educate an indixddual, but if you educate a woman, you educate a family and eventually, perhaps, a whole community.
Before the head of the pedagogy department had time to put many of his ideas to work. Dr. Mclver, who had not been blind to the initiative and dedication of the newcomer, named him dean of faculty. Much of the time Dr. Mclver was away from the campus preaching educa- tion for women and seeking funds to implement his faith. The dean perforce became acting president without the title. Almost inevitably, when death cut short Dr. Mc- . Iver's brilliant career, the younger man was thrust into the forefront of responsibility in name as well as deed.
DR. McIvER died September 17, 1906, while on a speaking tour with the presidential candidate, Wil- ham Jennings Bryan. The academic year was just be- ginning. Many decisions had to be made, countless de-

tails considered. Throughout educational circles in the South the question was: Who will succeed the dynamic Mclver? Where can a man be found to fill his seven- league boots?
Many minds turned to James Y. Joyner, former dean of faculty at the college and now State Superintendent of Public Instruction. But when Dr. Joyner was sounded out by friends, it was apparent that he was reluctant to relinquish his prestigious post. As things turned out, a successor was found at home. Few were surprised — certainly not his loyal faculty and students — when in May 1907, the trustees unanimously chose Julius Issac Foust second president of the State Normal College.
Looking to the future. Dr. Foust envisioned North Carolina as a leader in public education. But he fore- saw that such leadership would be possible only with an enlightened citizenship. There must be trained and ded- icated teachers in e\ery burgeoning industrial center, in every remote rural district in the State. The Nonnal College must produce those teachers.
At once he set himself objectives: more buildings to house more students; an expanded faculty- to pro\ide a richer and more varied curriculum to Hft the Normal to the le\el of a grade-A college; and, finally, the old stor\- — more money.
As growing boys, young Jule and his brother Thomas,

his inseparable companion in work or mischief, loved to roam the fields and woods of the considerable Foust acres in search of game. Both were excellent marksmen.
AXD now, Julius Foust, college president, began to stalk another species of game, this variety indigenous to Capitol Hill in Raleigh. The record shows that during his administration of nearly twenty-eight years, he at- tended fourteen sessions of the State legislature. Small wonder that he became known as a mighty hunter of the mighty dollar.
Dr. Foust (he was granted an LL. D. by his alma mater in 1910) did not hmit his quest for funds to the State. He obtained important grants from the General Education Board, the Carnegie Foundation and other organizations, as well as generous gifts from individuals. But of course the major support for the college came from the North Carohna legislature.
During his incumbency, the annual appropriation rose from $40,000. to $480,000. The value of the college plant increased from less than half a million to more than si.\ and a half miUion dollars. Student enrollment grew from 500 to nearly 1900. By 1919, a small institution de\oted almost entirely to teacher training had become a great hberal arts college re-christened the North Caro- lina College for Women. In 1921 it was admitted to membership in the Association of Southern Colleges. Ten years later, it was the third largest college for women in the United States and generally recognized throughout the nation for its high standards. Students came to it from many states as well as from foreign countries.
The "Normal" had come of age.
More forward strides were just ahead. Under the North Carolina General Assembly Act of 1931, the Uni- versity' of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, State College at Raleigh, and the North Carohna College for Women at Greensboro were consolidated into the Greater Uni- versity' with that great educator and humanist. Dr. Frank Porter Graham, at the helm. Under the merger, the former presidents of the three institutions retained their functions as administrators with the title of vice-president. Dr. Foust's division was called the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina. Later, of course, it became simply the University of North Carolina at Greensboro or UNC-G.
It is good to report that in 1934, the year Dr. Foust became president emeritus, the college won a coveted honor — one for which the retiring head had fought long and vigorously. The administration was advised that the college was eligible for a Plii Beta Kapjxi chapter. And let us note here also that Dr. Foust was frequently ahead of the times. He often spoke up for co-education, pointing out its advantages years before the idea was acceptable to most colleges.
It was during this period of tremendous activity and achievement that Dr. Foust sufFcred in his personal life two severe blows. The first was sustained when his daughter, Mary Foust Armstrong (in honor of whom
Mary Foust Hall was subsequently named) died in 1925. The second blow struck in 1931. His wife, the former Sallie Price of Wilson, had long been ill. Sallie Price was a gentlewoman and a tower of strength to her family. Her death was not unexpected, but it found her husband unprepared for the grief and lonehness he now faced. His only refuge was work — more and more work.
In 1932 Dr. Foust married Miss Clora McNeill of North Wilkesboro who for many years had been his secretary and administrative right hand. With charac- teristic quiet dignity, this able and gracious woman took her place at the side of the vice-president of the Wo- man's College. For the remainder of his life, she was to be his ever present help and comfort.
In the succeeding years. Dr. Foust devoted much time and energy to raising funds for Alumnae House. He also delighted in supervising the construction and furnishing of the building which has been cited as one of the two most beautiful alumnae houses in America. (The other is on the campus of Smith CoUege. ) While engaged in these activities. Dr. and Mrs. Foust co- operated closely with Clara Booth Byrd, for many years secretary of the Alumnae Association and an ardent pioneer in working for Alumnae House.
In tribute to this — his last great effort in behalf of the college — in 1939 the Alumnae Association, led by the Class of '35, commissioned and had hung in the library of the house, a life-size portrait of Dr. Foust. During the unveiling ceremony, one 'early bird' alumna was heard to say, "We lo\e the portrait but we don't need it to remind us of him. His hkeness is built into the very walls of this place."
Echoing this feeling, at a dinner honoring Dr. Foust in 1941, Dr. Graham declared, "JuUus Foust poured his noble heart and brain and the strength of his body into this institution which stands today as one of the great colleges for women in the world."
At commencement this year during a get-together of the avant garde, Anna Doggett Doggett '16 recalled the days when the college and its second president were both young. She said, "Dr. Foust knew almost e\eryone by sight, if not by name. Because my father and Dr. Foust's brother, Mr. Thomas, were old friends. Dr. Foust kept close tabs on me, sometimes too close for comfort."
It seems that freshman Anna was called on the pres- idential carpet one morning to explain why she had not written home since her arrival on the campus a month earlier. Her father had called the oflBce to ask if his daughter were ill.
PulHng his glasses down on his nose and looking sternly over the rims. Dr. Foust demanded, "Young lady, didn't you realize your family would worry?"
Tearfully, Anna protested that she had written every week. When it developed that she had posted her letters in the wrong box at the tiny college P. O., Dr. Foust apologized handsomely.
"Anna," he said, "I'll tell you something if you will promise to keep it a secret." He leaned across his desk and this time there was a t\vinkle behind his glasses. "You see, Anna, parents and college presidents make

about as many mistakes as freshmen."
"He was the kindest of men," said Mrs. Doggett. "He often drew checks on his personal accoimt to help stu- dents who could turn to no one else. One of my class- mates told me that he adxaneed her money to buy her graduation dress. When my class asked his ad\'ice on the choice of a gift to the college, he suggested that we start a student loan fund from which needy girls could borrow small sums with no cjuestions asked."
Dr. and Mrs. Foust were living in Florida when he died on February 15, 1946. He was brought back to Greensboro and buried not too far from the college grounds. His son, Henry P. Foust, lives in Greensboro where he was long engaged in the insurance business. Clora McNeill Foust continues to live in the family residence across the street from the old administration building. Her interest in all that touches the Uni\ersit\' at Greensboro remains lively, imdiminished.

Education Administrators Receive Unique Training in New Program
by Owen Bishop
UNC-G News Bureau
A unique new doctoral program in the School of Education, which has already stirred the interest of educators throughout the Southeast, combines traditional academic studies and intensive leadership training to prepare students for service in educational administration.
Inaugurated this fall, the innovati\e programs leads to a doctorate in education administration, but it bears Utile resemblance to most doctoral programs — in edu- cation or in other fields.
• No specific academic courses are required. Instead, each student designs his own program of studies — in whatever academic areas he feels would be beneficial to him as an educational administrator.
• Students are selected primarily on the basis of "key personality characteristics" which leaders need to function most effectively. Their academic records are given secondary consideration.
• During the fall semester, the students spend one full day each week in special seminars and simulated decision-making situations like those they'll face in lead- ership positions. These experiences will be provided by the Center for Creative Leadership, an educational in- stitution funded by Greensboro's Smith Richardson Found- ation to provide formal instruction in the development of creative leaders.
Dr. Roland H. Nelson, Jr., a professor in the School of Education who was instrumental in planning the new program, serves as its director. A veteran educational administrator and a former president of Marshall Uni- versity, Dr. Nelson says the inspiration for offering a totally new kind of training for administrators stemmed from the fact that other graduate level programs simply were not doing the job.
"From my experience, I knew that there weren't any programs which were really preparing the kinds of people that were needed to fill these positions," he said. "If the programs did prepare their students for such leadership
Dr. Roland Nelson, creator of the new program, received his undergraduate degree from Duke University, his master of educa- tion degree from the University of Virginia, and his doctorate of education from Harvard. He was chairman of the Department of English at Duke University, then served as president of Richmond Professional Institute, and later Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, before joining the UNC-C faculty in the fall of 1970.
roles, it was completely accidental and incidental. It wasn't by design."
Good Leaders Sought
One of the reasons for this, he suggested, is the high premium placed on academic achievement under most orthodox programs. "It doesn't necessarily follow that a good academician will be a good leader. 'We're talking about a different breed of cat. I'd say there is a minimum level of competence that he must have but once that minimum is reached, the personality variables are much more important."
In addition, traditional programs in educational ad- ministration often have denied advanced training to stu- dents with high potential for leadership because they failed to take certain prescribed education courses, Dr. Nelson said.
UNG-G's new program features no specific pre- requisites except for a completed master's degree. Thus, at least theoretically, it is open to students who would not be accepted by other doctoral programs.
The personality characteristics sought in the six stu- dents who were admitted for the first year of the program include "a strong drive to become a leader" and what Dr. Nelson called a "tolerance for ambiguity. . . . "We wanted the person who doesn't need a lot of pat answers. In fact, he's challenged by a situation where many times there simply aren't any answers, " he said.
In the creative leadership sessions, the students join men and women from various walks of life in exercises which are designed to point up their strengths and weak- nesses and to offer them opportimities for developing more effective leadership behavior.
These sessions are conducted at the Center for Creative Leadership, which is housed in a modem building on a wooded, lakeside tract just north of Greensboro.
The institution began operating last January, with a staff headed by Dr. James N. Farr, technical director. It conducts research in the areas of creativity and leader- ship and offers seminars to prepare participants for leadership roles.
Dr. Robert G. Dom, director of the center's leader- ship development program, says its first aim is to help

each enrollee see his own weaknesses so that "his own recognition of his needs will motivate him to learn."
Learning by Experience
The whole process, he says, is one of learning at least partially by experience so the participants will come to know "how to learn from experience outside of the class- room and through day-to-day experiences."
In simulations, the student can see where he has prob- lems in leadership and where some of his strong points are, according to Dr. Dom. "He can then concentrate his efforts on those areas where he seems to be having the most difficulty. We want to try to get across to the par- ticipants the idea of trying to be more creative, more in- novative — stretching in terms of setting their goals further than they would ordinarily think of setting them."
The students are involved in intricate, make-believe situations which place a high demand on their leadership skills and provide extensive feedback regarding their performance. These exercises may feature simulated business situations or simulated societal leadership posi- tions. Many of the program sessions will be video taped so the participants can review their performances for weak spots.
Why use video tape? Dr. Dom says it is helpful because "you've got a record of the actual performance" and because "it's easier emotionally for a participant to discuss what he sees on that screen and how that character on the screen is behaving than it is to talk about how he behaved in the situation."
Dr. Nelson is quite enthusiastic about the role of the center in the doctoral program because the learning experiences it will provide for the students will be a valuable contribution to the program. "We're getting a service here that would cost the University several hundreds of thousands of dollars to duplicate — and then it might not be as good."
Dr. Nelson himself went through a condensed version of the center's course and says he "found it to be one of the most valuable experiences of my life."
Feedback Sessions
As a follow-up to the sessions at the center, Dr. Nelson conducts a seminar for all students in the new program to

give them some "feedback" between personal experiences and intellectual activities.
The students also get regular critiques from the director about their performance in every area of the program. "I have to get to know each of these people quite well. We have to get to the point that our egos don't get in the way and I can sit down with a guy and say, 'Look, you simply bomb out when you try that.' "
Because of this personal approach, the initial class of students was limited to six. "I don't think we could really work with many more than six and do the kinds of things we're talking about. This is such a highly personalized thing," Dr. Nelson said.
One of the reasons for using this approach is that it will permit the students to reveal who they really are. In a more formal situation, the students might hesitate to reveal their true personalities because it could adversely affect their grades, he said. Under the new UNC-G pro- gram, students will be evaluated on a pass-not pass basis.
In addition to the academic studies and leadership training, students in the program also make up an in- structional team to teach the beginning education course to undergraduates.
The six doctoral candidates have complete respon- sibihty for organizing instruction for about 130 students. They work with them in a single group at times and break them into smaller groups at other times. The graduate instructors are evaluated for the effectiveness of this team instruction, especially on how well they em- phasize the strengths of the team's members and minimize their weaknesses.
Dissertation Requirement
The initial class of students is expected to complete its course work next summer, leaving only the disserta- tion requirement to be met. Due to the unorthodox nature of the program, an action-oriented project might be re- quired in place of the traditional dissertation. For example, a student might be working in an administrative post and zero-in on a particular dilemma, keeping a journal on the steps taken with regard to it. The journal would be reviewed to determine "how astute he had been in seeing why his decisions turned out to be right or wrong."
In the second year of the program. Dr. Nelson hopes to inject some important new elements through a co-

operative arrangement with the U.S. Army. If the plan is approved by the Department of Defense, education officers with the Army would be brought into the doc- toral program while students who have completed the training would be offered internships at Army posts around the world.
Dr. Nelson, who came to UNC-G last year from \f arshall, called the new program "something I've wanted to try for some time." He said he was refreshed to see the idea for it get such a warm reception at UNC-G. D
Six Candidates in Search of a Doctorate
The six students who are enrolled in UNC-C's fledgling program in educational administration are all male and all are married, but here the similarity ends. Their backgrounds, what they seek in the program and their ultimate goals vary widely, as the following statements show. Dr. Nelson wanted at least one woman student included in the initial group. Although he had several inquiries from women, none enrolled in this year's program.
Gail Schoppert l^as a summer vocation, acting, icluch tlie entire family shores. Last summer they all appeared in the outdoor drama, "Trumpet in the Land," the story of Moravian missionaries in Ohio, in tvliich Gail played the leading role of David Zeisherger.

He and his icife, liho is a kindergarten teacher, met in Paris ichere both were teaching. Their three children were born overseas.
I differ from the others enrolled in the Educational Leadership Development program in that I am in my third year of doctoral study, concluding, rather than beginning, my program. I was on campus last year as a Teaching Fellow during the time that Dr. Nelson was laying plans for the program, and I asked to be a part of it, because I saw a potential for further development of an important administrative area — leadership. I plan to write my dissertation on some aspect of leadership behavior.
I am a native of Oregon and hold the B.S. in physical education from Oregon State University, and the M.A. in physical education from Ohio State. After two years of teaching in Oregon I joined the U.S. Dependents Schools, European Area, planning to teach overseas for a couple of years. Ultimately I remained in this military dependents school system for ten years, working as a teacher and coach for over five years, as a Curriculum Associate in a District Superintendent's office for a year and a half, as an Assistant Principal for a year, and then as principal of Livorno American High School in Italy for two years. In 1969 I returned to the United States for doctoral study, selecting UNC-G because of the
presence of Dean Robert M. O'Kane, who had previously served as Director of the European Dependents Schools.
Over the years my chief hobby activity has gradually shifted from athletics to the field of drama. My entire family has spent the last two summers acting in the out- door di-ama. Trumpet in the Latul, in New Philadelphia, Ohio. We are also active in community and university theater.
I hope to use my Ed.D. to teach education with an emphasis on school administration at the university level. My experience thus far with the Educational Leadership Development Program leads me to beUeve that it will be of considerable benefit in achie\'ing this goal. D
James M. Howard, a native of Pink Hill, is a grad- uate of East Carolina University ichere he also received his masters degree following a three-year period of serv- ice with the Army in Germany. He took courses in edu- cational administration and sociology at Duke Univers- ity during summer leaves from liis duties as guidance director in Duplin County and principal in Pamlico County High School. Since 1965 he has been guidance supervisor for the Lejeune High School, part of a de- pendents school system ichicli consists of five elementary schooh, one junior high and one high sclwol. His wife and two children live in Camp Lejeune.
I am now on sabbatical leave for one year from the Camp Lejeune Dependents School. Before enrolling in LINC-Gs program in educational administration, I in- vestigated fifteen doctoral programs in education from which I selected UNC-G's as being superior in the specific area of leadership that I wanted. My chief in- terest is in administration, and 1 will be returning to Camp Lejeune in an administi-ative capacity following completion of the program. My ultimate goal is to be a school superintendent. D
John S. Callebs of Huntington, West Virginia, is on leave from his duties as Director of Development at Marshall University where lie worked witl} Roland Nelson during Dr. Nelsons presidency at Marshall. It was throug]} Dr. Nelson that he first learned of the new program in educational administration and applied for admission as one of the first six candidates. His wife and children live in Huntington.
I have been in college teaching and administration for twelve years although my background is largely in the area of political science ( I have sevent\' hours beyond my masters in the field.) As a candidate for public office and as a member of the West Virginia Board of Pro- bation and Parole, I ha\e learned that many educational decisions are basically political decisions, and I hope to merge the study and experiences I have had in politics with those in education since each shapes and helps to influence the other.
The program in educational administration will en- able me to take advantage of past experiences, to take courses which will permit me to build on those experi- ences, and to share and compare my experiences with

others. The new program in educational administration is being watched by other schools, and I would predict that if the quaUty of expansion continues, UNC-G will be the most imitated school in the field of education. A final factor which greatly influenced me to come to Greensboro is the quality of the School of Education faculty. Dean O'Kane has recruited an impressive array of talent to add to an already strong faculty. D
Bill Lang ivas bom and raised in Rochester, New York. He began his college studies at High Point College, where he met lus icife, while serving with the Air Force outside Winston-Salem. He continued his studies follow- ing his Air Force discharge and, after graduation, began teaching and at the same time taking graduate courses at UNC-G. At present, lie commutes from Lexington lohere he is in the field of adult education at Davidson Community College.
It is not often that one has the opportunity to follow a course of study that involves the calibre of faculty associated with this program on the UNC-G campus and facilities such as those offered at the Richardson Foundation's Center for Creative Leadership. Although I had no intention of pursuing another degree that merely meant acquiring ".\" number of hours, I welcomed the chance to become a part of this experience which offers both professional and personal growth.
I am committed to the broad field of education, and, as such, I would hope to bring whatever talents I possess to the area of quahty leadership. My interests lie in community colleges and technical institutes, specifically the administration of these institutions.
Cliff Lowery of Raleigh has been director of student activities at Guilford College for the past five years. He received his undergraduate degree at Wake Forest Uni- versity and liis master in education at UNC-G. He taught in Hanes Junior High in Winston-Salem and was Director of Special Programs at N.C. State University prior to joining the administrative staff at Guilford in 1967. He .served as dean of the Eastern Music Festival on the Guilford campus for the past two .sutnmers.
How did I hear about the program? After a two-year respite from the classroom pursuits, last spring I grew
restless and began to look for programs in Higher Edu- cation Administration. The University's program was brought to my attention by a newspaper article in the Greensboro Daily News, and I applied immediately.
What str(>ngths do I hope to develop? It is my hope that the new program will allow me to integrate my previous career, education, and community experiences into a working model of leadership and administration. I wish to improve my abilities to facilitate the operation of systems and the input of indi\iduals into a situation. I hope to accomplish this goal by learning more about the way institutions operate and the way that individuals respond to the stimuli within their en\ironment.
What are future plans? I hope to adapt any new technicjues and theories for incorporation into a course that I teach at Guilford College called "Leadership- Communication." Beyond that I hope to become a more effective educational administrator, perhaps in student personnel or as an executive officer of communit)' college. D
Freeman Jones is a native of Reidsville, married and the father of one daughter. He attended Reidsville .schools and received his undergraduate degree from Shaw University. He was a member of the faculty at Lincoln School in the Rockingham County administrative unit prior to enrolling in graduate school at Temple University. After receiving his M.Ed, degree from Tem- ple, he returned to Lincoln school as principal.
For the past six years I have been principal of Lincoln School in Rockingham County. Two years ago I was admitted to UNC-G's Sixth \vi\r Program, an advanced course in administration with broadening courses in research and curriculum, leading to super- intendent certification.
As part of this course of stud\- I enrolled in Dr. Roland Nelson's course in "The Organization and Ad- ministration of Public Education." It was Dr. Nelson who first told me of the new doctoral program in edu- cational administi-ation which was to be inaugurated on the Greensboro campus this >ear. The format was so intriguing and unique, I applied for admittance and, subsetjuenth-, w^as selected to participate in this innova- tive undertaking. Ultimately, I want to ser\e at the college le\el in either a teaching or an administrative position.

Student Health Center Seeks New Image
by Dr. William McRae, Director
THE ultimate goals of a comprehensive health program for the academic community, as recom- mended by the American College Health Associ- ation, are as follows : ( 1 ) to promote and maintain those conditions which will permit and encourage each in- dividual to realize optimum physical, emotional, intel- lectual, and social well-being, (2) to control those factors in the community and its environment which may com- promise this well-being, (3) to guide the individual in the acceptance of health as a positive value in life, and (4) to stimulate the capacity of the individual to make healthful adaptations to the environment. In other words, these four points speak primarily of education, attitudes and preventive medicine.
In contrast, in the past, apparent goals in student health have been: (1) to treat physical illness and injury;
(2) to decide whether it was safe for the student to participate in the various types of physical education;
(3) to be responsible for immunizations; and (4) to handle psychiatric emergencies.
Today things are different — times have changed. We still ha\e to do these traditional things and do them well, using all of the ad\ances of modern medicine. But noic, because of changing mores; because of world tensions and the sensitivity of these young people to these ten- sions; because of the very real threat of the destruction of life as we know it, either by nuclear weapons or ecology problems; because of our se.x and drug-oriented societ}'; and because of the deterioration of the family unit; there now exists on our University campuses a mental health problem so vast that it's hard to conceive. And because of the communication gap (or generation gap as it's commonly referred to), much tension and distrust between student and administrative officials (in- cluding physicians) has arisen. This distrust has made it almost impossible to aid these young people before they reach the dire emergency stage.
The vast majority of our students are fine young peo- ple with high ideals, who wish to build and create rather than destroy or be destroyed. And they, whether we like it or not, will be the teachers of our children and grand- children, the law makers and the leaders of tomorrow. They are worth listening to — and we'd better believe it!
Modern student health programs are being devised all over the country to try to bridge the generation gap that exists between the student and his physician for,
unless this is accomplished, the average student will re- fuse to seek the aid of the Health Service and, therefore, their physical and emotional needs often are not cared for properly.
Some of the new concepts which we are adopting are :
• We are trying to treat the college student as an adult, for in most respects, certainly biologically speaking, they are adults.
• We pubUsh a brochure and make it available to all members of the administration, faculty, and student body. This brochure states specific policies of the Student Health Service and stresses confidentiality — in other words, we let the student know that he or she can come to us with any problem and not be reported to their parents or to the Uni\ersity administration. (Note: the contents of this brochure are now included in the Student Handbook.)
• We have regular meetings with student leaders and allow them to help fonnulate our poHcies.
• We have on our campus a successful birth control program and an excellent counseling system for those girls who find themselves unmarried and pregnant.
• This fall we are hoping to implement our own drug abuse program with the help of our new part-time psychiatrist, who is very experienced in this area. We are, also, planning a broad community psychiatry pro- gram which will invoKe various group therapy sessions for patients as well as coordinating and training sessions for both student and staff counselors. This is a completely new concept in student health with the primary goal of trying to eliminate sources of mental health problems.
• We try to educate the students concerning various health problems by making a\ailable published material and by meeting with groups informalh' to discuss various questions. An example of the last concept is the sex information manual that we plan to make available to our students in the near future. Of course, all of these things are done with the approval of the University ad- ministration.
• But, probably more important than all of these other things, we try hard to be sympathetic listeners, of- fering advice and counsel where advice and counsel are indicated but, at the same time, being slow to judge or condemn where mistakes have already been made. D

TJie new Student Health Director, Dr. William McRae, received his M.D. from the Bowman Gray Sclwol of Medicine and did Jtis intern.^hip at N.C. Baptist Hospital, Winston- Salem. He icas a navy medical officer in Sanford, Fla., for a year prior to joining the UNC-CH staff as assi.<itant university physician for four years and joining the health service on campus in Augu.st 1970. In an inter- view, he answered some questions tohich alumni have been asking about the health .service.
Q. You mentioned ambulance service. Does the Uni- versity have an ambulance?
A. In a manner of speaking, yes. Our "ambulance" actually is merely a vehicle capable of transporting bed- ridden patients. It is a service operated by male students with first aid training . . . some of them work part- time for the county ambulance service. The possibility' of converting our "ambulance" into a true emergency vehicle is being considered.
Q. You wrote that you meet regularly with the chair- man of the student-faculty Health Information Committee and the SGA Executive Secretary. Are there other groups that you work with on campus?
A. We work closely with the campus ministers and very closely with the clinical psychologist in the Coun- seling Center which is housed on the ground floor of the Health Center. We also have the services of a part- time psychiatrist, Dr. Robert Whitener, who is exper- ienced in drug abuse, group therapy and community psychiatry. By leaving the office environment and going out among the students on campus, he hopes to seek out mental problems before they become acute. He will establish communication with counselors and dorm pres- idents and give advice on handling difficult situations that might arise.
Q. What does the birth control program provide? A. Any student who has a question regarding birth control is invited to consult one of the four Student Health Center physicians. Each case will be handled by the physician in an ethical, professional and highly individualized manner.
Q. What is your procedure in handling cases involving the pregnancy of an unmarried student? A. A pregnant, unwed student is encouraged by anyone on campus in whom she ma\' confide to present herself as soon as jxissible to the Health Service for diagnostic confirmation and assistance in handling her problem. No disciplinary action will be taken against a student who presents herself to the Service, and administrative officials

will not be notified. If she receives an unsp>ecified "medi- cal withdrawal" from school because of pregnancy, she will be eligible for readmission as long as other require- ments for readmission are in order. In even,- instance she will be encouraged to inform her parents, but the parents will not be notified by the physician unless she requests that this be done. She will also be referred to a campus minister for further counseling and help. Q. Have you any policy in regard to illegal abortions? A. If any University oificial or student learns that a student has received an illegal abortion, it is the respon- sibilitv of the individual to refer the woman to the Health Service for confidential medical evaluation. Q. The student health fee of $56 is almost twice the charge made in 1966-67 when students paid 830 for health service. Does the health service receive income from any other source?
A. The General Assembly in 1967 voted to discontinue support of health services on all state campuses. This made it necessarv to raise student fees to support the health service without legislative help. Our entire opera- tion, including drug supplies, equipment, and salaries of all personnel, including four full-time physicians, two part-time psychiatrists, and a part-time radiologist, is solely dependent upon student health fees. Charges are kept at a minimum to defray actual expenses, so students must pay extra for certain drugs and services such as laboratory tests which must be done in off-campus laboratories.
Q. Are you notified when students are admitted with previous records of mental illness and psychiatric care? A. The medical form which each student must furnish from his phxsician has three questions relating to mental illness and psychiatric care, so we have a record of the past history. We are hoping in the near future to have students with mental health problems admitted pro- visionally . . . that is, they would be required to place themselves under our psychiatric care. If they fail to do so, thev would be subject to dismissal.

UNC-G Students % the Ballot Box
by Vickie Kilgore 72
young people supported Sen. George McGovern as a presidential candidate. Sen. Edmund Muskie was a sec- ond favorite.
Change in the political system is the order of the day. UNC-G students want change, but no revolutionary attitude in politics is evident on the Greensboro campus, according to Student Reporter Vickie Kilgore's survey.
According to a sampling of UNC-G politicos, many student voters intend to take a greater stand in elections than their parents ever have. The 1972 elections will gi\e them the opportun- ity to begin. ^^ , Of the 11.3 million young people now elig-
^^::i^ ible to vote, over 6,000 are on the campus of UNC-G. Almost one-half of the students inter- viewed are registered \'oters in their home communities and one-half of these students have aligned themselves with a political party.
The presidential elections have excited student voters who are concerned about their vote in the presidential primaries as well as in the national elections.
"Students still feel they are second-rate citizens until they are 21," said Rachel Arthur, a sophomore from Richmond, Va.
"College students are discriminated against with the lack of absentee \oting laws in many counties," Rachel explained. "These election boards are pre\'enting many young people who are away in college from \'oting in the presidential primaries."
Sophomore Becky Mears from Decorah, Iowa, is a registered voter who is eager to exercise her new privilege, but she will forego voting in the primaries above, charging absentee \oting. "It would be too com- plicated to have student absentee ballots for the pres- idential primaries only," Becky insisted, "and it would be unfair for out-of-state students to vote in primaries here since they don't pay taxes."
Registered voters at UNC-G have definite political ideas. Of those questioned, nearly two-thirds do not want President Richard Nixon reelected. Most of the
Young voters today often describe them- selves as more liberal than their parents. Al- though these students feel they are "influenced" and often "lean toward" the politics of their parents, they claim their parents are "too right wing" to receive complete agreement from youth.
Alison Woodruff, freshman from Roanoke Rapids, N. C, noted, "I usually agree with my parents on general issues — such as removal of our troops from Viet Nam — but we frequently disagree on the par- ticulars — such as when and how."
Other young people complain their parents are not "aware of matters concerning the future." A sampling indicates these "matters" vary from pollution to over- population to nuclear devastation.
Although most of the students interviewed were vehement about national issues and leaders, most of these same \oters were unenthusiastic about voting in local elections. Even students from communities support- ing the lowered voting age were apathetic about the power of their vote on the local level.
Here, too, the major gripe of young people is the lack of absentee voting laws. "It's too much trouble to go all the way home just to vote in local elections," said Joy Hamilton, senior from Magnolia, N. C. "Howe\'er I would go home for a national election," Joy added.
Another girl felt those young people remaining at home would not bother about the local issues because they were not considered significant enough to get in- volved in and they were actually uninvolved in the issues.
In a contrasting light, Kathy \'on Lindem, a sophomore whose parents live in Belgium, is looking for a permanent residence in which she can vote locally.
Kathy wants to vote in Greensboro since she liN'es in the city all year except for short vacations. However her parents, who are U.S. citizens, are non-residents of a state; so Kathy cannot vote anywhere in any election until she becomes 21 and is able to establish permanent residence in a

state. At present the state election board is examining Kathy's situation.
Ed Saunders, a sophomore from Greensboro, N. C, reveals another positive aspect of students seeking com- munity involvement.
As a member of the executive committee of the Guilford County Non-Partisan Voter Registration Drive, Ed feels the student voter campaign is "a good way to get involved in local level poBtics."
"It's voluntary," Ed explained, "and it's interesting."
The Guilford County student voter registration cam- paign is a part of a state-wide campaign called the Campaign For Young Voters.
With headquarters at Chapel Hill, N. C, the newly founded campaign is a non-partisan, non-profit organ- ization dedicated to registering young people to vote. Its purpose is to assist in organizing and implementing local voter registration drives tlirough the state of North Carolina.
UNC-G recently hosted the group's organizational meeting during which 1.5 local contacts reported the progress of \'oter registration in their specific areas.
Jim Van Hecke, Jr., Greensboro's campaign represen- tative, predicted the registration of at least 175,000 new voters in the state of North Carolina and 2.5,000 of these in Guilford County.
Nancy Moore, editor of The Carohnian, said the stu- dent newspaper will print a series of articles in No- vember to encourage student \oter registration.
Nancy also hopes the paper can sponsor \'isits to the campus by a number of county election registrars to register in-state students from outside Guilford County.
As one girl noted, "Things are looking up for stu- dents. Now that we have the vote politicians are talking to us. It's up to us to put our action and our votes where our mouths have been." D
Our student reporter, Vickie Kil^ore 72, a native of Bristol, Tenn., will receive an AB in English in January and has aspi- rations to work abroad. The last two summers she was a news reporter for Bristol newspapers.
PLANS are in the making for a course on women to be added to next semester's curriculum. The political science department will offer the course which will be listed as "Women in Politics". Dr. Margaret Hunt and part-time professor Joan Davis are studying syllibi from similar courses offered at other colleges.
The idea came from a Political Science departmental meeting at which major students met the faculty meml^ers of that department. Dr. Da\id Olson, Head of thi- Polit- ical Science Department, gave the students an opportun- ity to ask questions. Patsy Brison, a senior, proposed a women's studies course which brought a quick response from Dr. Hunt and Miss Da\is since it coincides with their personal interests.
Women students who had expressed interest in a course on women have met with Dr. Hunt and Miss Davis after the two faculty members and the students held separate meetings to share their ideas.
Dr. Hunt will teach the course and it will include an examination of sex roles and a history of the women's movement, past and present, in the Ihiited States. Dr. Hunt wants the course to appeal to men as well as women because she feels that men ha\e as large a stake in women's history as women.
The possibility of following China Year w itii a year dedicated to women was discussed and was en- thusiastically recei\'ed. The suggestion was made that it be tied in with the two-year emphasis on women which is planned as a proji-ct of the Center for Con- tinuing Education.
Anotlicr topic which was discussed was a strateg\- for integrating courses on women into the general college curriculum. Dr. Hunt is interested in a program of in- terdisciplinar)' courses which will be tied together in a way similar to the International Studies Program. She pointed out that this would be a better strateg\- than ha\ing unrelated courses offered in the separate de- partments. n
Young Democrats Club On Campus
A university chapter of the Young Democrats Club was organized on campus Wednesday, October 6, in an effort to encourage the active participation of students in political aflairs. The group will encourage all students, regardless of political affiliation, to register to vote and to become involved in political issues. The YDC plans to invite as many political candidates as possible to be guest speakers to give students an opportunity to meet and discuss their platforms with them. G

Ethnomusicology Introduced
Ethnomusicology, a new field of stud\ , is being offered by the School of Music this fall. Taught by Assist- ant Professor E. Thomas Stanford, who joined the faculty from the Uni- versity of Texas, ethnomusicolog\' is the study of the role played bv music in primitive cultures.
An increase in interest in primitive art, particularly African art, is the reason for this addition to the music curriculum, according to Music School Dean Lawrence Hart. The ethnomusicology courses begin with Latin American music; the influence of African forms will be introduced later.
Mr. Stanford is a graduate of die University of Southern California. He has studied at Juilliard and com- pleted advanced studv in anthro- polog\' and folklore at the Mexican National University. Prior to his Texas appointment, he was musicol- ogist at the National Institute of Anthropology, Mexico City.
Gifts and Grants
Mrs. Joseph McKinley Bryan of
Greensboro has made a gift of stock to the University which has been applied to the Kathleen Price Bryan Professorship in Financial Aft'airs. Sale of the stock brought 845,573, which brings the total endowment of the Bryan Professorship to 8100,500. Primarily intended to give young women a greater understanding of financial matters, the Bryan courses, which were established 12 years ago under the administration of the School of Business and Economics,
were in the lead in the current up- surge of interest in consumer educa- tion. In addition, the Bryan Lectures, which are open to the public, bring wideh'-known experts to the campus in the spring and fall. Dr. Thomas J. Leary has been Bryan professor since 1968.
A National Science Foundation grant of $24,900 has been given to Dr. M. Russell Harter of the Depart- ment of Psychology at UNC-G. Dr. Harter is studying the relationship between visual perception and the human brain's electrical activity.
The grant is a renewal of a $5.3,000 NSF grant made to Dr. Harter two years ago. The renewal will fund the research project through February 1973.
Dr. Harter says his basic research is concerned with whether there is a characteristic response of the brain to \ isual perception.
Henry A. Fescue, a High Point industrialist, and his wife have made a $10,000 gift to the Home Eco- nomics Foundation to establish an endowed scholarship in interior de- sign.
The scholarship will be a memorial to his mother, Mrs. Vera Annfield Foscue, who attended State Normal and Industrial College, now UNC-G, from 1896-98.
DE Teacliers Trained
An increasing need for distributive education teachers in North Carolina has led to the addition of tsvo mem- bers to the facult\' of the School of
Business and Economics at UNC-G. Dr. Stephen R. Lucas, associate professor, and Benton E. Miles, as- sistant professor, will teach courses related to distributive teacher educa- tion.
Primarily a high school level pro- gram, DE courses enrolled 11,000 N. C. students in 1970. Usually taught in a cooperative manner, the courses give in-school instruction in business practice and on-the-job-training with local merchants. Technical schools and community colleges also provide this education.
Dr. Lucas received his Ph.D. from Ohio State University and taught previously at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Miles recently completed work in the doctoral program at Ohio State. Both have extensive experience in DE training.
A Service Record
The name of his place of employ- ment has changed four times, but Lewis Gilcrist has always worked in the same place — the college laundry — from 1919 until his retirement in August. From State Normal and In- dustrial School to UNC-G, and under six different supervisors, Mr. Gilcrist, who came to the laundry at age 14, has set a record for years of service on this campus, and has tied for sec- ond place in length of service for an N. C. state employee.
He worked 34 \ears before missing a day for sickness, then marked up another 17 absence-free years. He gives credit to Mrs. Gilcrist's cook- ing for his good health, and to his father's advice that he remain at the college for staying with the laundry all these years. Some of the girls call him "grandpa," he says, and he's afraid he'd get lost on today's huge campus, but Mr. Gilcrist remains stable in a changing world, and looks forward eagerly to whatever the future brings.

"The New Hermeneulics" are, 1-r: Scott Wilkinson, Anna Beth Swain, Curtis Campbell, Kathy Milligan and Mike Commee.
Student Ministry in Music
Two UNC-G students, Anna Beth Swain and Curtis Campbell, spent last summer serving a imique min- istry on the Outer Banks as part of a quintet that sang rousing folk music for tourists visiting The Circus Tent. Playing guitars, bass, jangles, drums and the dulcimer, they per- formed three times nightlv, led folk worship and staged such musical as the rock opera, Jesus Christ Super- star for some 65,000 \'isitors during the season.
The Circus Tent, erected in the shadow of the Wright Memorial on the hillside of man's first airplane
flight, offered a fresh approach to Christian outreach. The tent also sheltered an ice cream parlor serving fancy sundaes, shakes and other dairy delights, such as Fat Lady Sundae, Two-Headed Clow.v Cones, Jolly Green Giants and Strong Man Milkshakes.
Curtis, a nati\e of Raleigh, who has been with the group t\\o \ears, and Anna Beth, who joined the group last summer, are both soph- omores. During the winter the New Hermeneutics will fill engagements for religious groups and on college campuses in North Carolina. D
"Thoughts in Black"
One of the goals of the Neo-Black Society at UNC-G was realized last spring with the publication of "Thoughts in Black," a collection of poetry and art by black students on the Greensboro campus.
The preface to the magazine notes, 'These writings and pictures are ex- pressions of our feelings toward situ- ations that we have experienced not only as black students on a predom- inantly white campus but as a black individual growing up in America. In these works you will see thoughts on our past, comments on our present and hopes for our future."
The first poem in the collection, "It Must Be Nice," by rising senior Larry Williamson from Yanceyville, is reprinted here with the author's permission.
It Must Be Nice
It must be nice to ride on the rainbows
and to play on the moon. It must be nice to live in the huge mansions of wood
and stone and to have spacious green lawns in
front of your homes. It must be nice to be able to go to any sea shore
and enjoy the warm sand
and the cool breeze. It must be nice to climb any mountain
and to cross any stream — if you please. It must be nice to have the unspoken privilege to go to
any school without breaking the traditional rules.
It must be nice to pursue a dream as free as the wind and as eternal as the sun.
It must be nice to know that your goals
and aspirations are your greatest limitations.
Since all of these things are true, then it must be nice, oh so nice, to be white.
Or is it?!!

Alumni Director
During The Yeabs since Laura Weill Cone '10 wrote THE COLLEGE ( now UNFS'ERSITY) SONG successive generations of students have vocally promised that "Our motto 'Service' will remain, And service we will do." As alumni the once-students have kept their word: they have served. The multi- plicity of this service defies cataloguing.
Annually since 1960 the Alumni Associ- ation through the Alumni Service Awards Program has formally recognized the serv- ice which selected alumni have rendered. Mrs. Cone, who wrote the song, recei\ed the first award. Thirty-three others have been similarly honored during subsequent years; May Lovelace Tomlinson 07, Enuna Lewis Speight Morris '00, Jane Summerell '10, Clara Byrd '13, Virginia Terrell Lath- rop '23, Sadie McBrayer McCain '16, Jua- nita McDougald Melchior '17, Ernily Harris Preyer '39, Rosa Blakeney Parker '16, Euline Smith Weems '17, Juha Montgomery Street '23, Adelaide Fortune Holdemess '34, Elea- nor Southerland Powell '42, Virginia Brown Douglas '02, Lula Disosway '18, Ruth Wil- son '25x, Hermene Warlick Eichhom '26, Annie Lee Singletary '31, Iris Holt McEwcn '14, Lucy Cherry Crisp '19, Elizabeth Hin- ton Kittrell '19, lola Parker '23, Frances Fowler Monds '33, Sue Ramsey Johnston Ferguson '18, Marv D. Johnson '19, luanita Kesler Henry '20, Reva Mitchell '32, Julia Watson Maulden '33, Katherine Robin- son Everett '13, Frances Gibson Satter- field '28, Elise Rouse Wilson '43, Bonnie Angelo Levy '44, and Betty Ann Ragland Stanback '46.
There are many more alumni who merit similar honor, but to be considered for an Alumni Service Award, alumni must be nominated. Forms which are available in the Alumni Office are used for the presentation of nominees. The forms when completed are sent to the Chairman of the Alumni Service Awards Committee which, after study and consultation, makes recommenda- tions to the Alumni Board of Trustees which has the final authority of decision. Nominations should be submitted by Janu- ary 1.
Mary Lib Manning Slate '61 (Mrs. Mar- vin L. Slate, Jr., 855 Westover Ave., Win- ston-Salem 27104) is Chairman of the Serv- ice Awards Committee for 1971-72. The following alumnae, all residents of Winston- Salem, are serving with her: Margaret Bloodworlh Glenn '47, Anne Pearce Weaver '42, Martha McRae Alsup '37, Peggy Best Curlee '54, and Lois Atkinson Taylor '26.
Nominees are considered for their "signifi- cant contributions to the liberal arts ideal in service to the University at Greensboro, to the Greater University, or to the nation, state, or local community. Contributions

Presidential Profile
Martha Fowler McNair
by Sarah Denny Williamson
Twenty-six years ago a young, ihough'- ful, and energetic freshman from Durham, North Carolina, entered the halls of Bailey Dorm to begin over two decades of serv- ice to "Woman's College." Today Martha
Fowler McNair serves as president of the UNC-G Alumni Association.
On campus during those four full and fun-packed years, Martha served as a Jun- ior House President, Student Government President, and was elected everlasting presi- dent of the class of '49.
With her BSSA degree and teacher's certificate in hand, Martha set out for Laurinbiirg and a teaching career in the local high school. But within two years, her plans changed. She met and married Jolin F. McNair, III. Thus began another career — that of an active, energetic, and involved housewife and mother.
In 1952 son Frank was bom and three years later came daughter Elizabeth. And as the years have passed, each member of this family has given of himself to others.
lohn, a senior vice-president of Wachovia Bank and Trust Company, was long active in the town of Laurinburg. He worked with the Boy Scouts, served as president of the Chamber of Commerce and president of the Rotary Club. He has been active in the Jaycees at the state level. He has also served on the State Highway Commission and is presently a member of the Board of Trustees of St. Andrews Presbyterian Col- lege. John, too, is a man of wide horizons.
And while Martha kept the home fires burning, she also kept alert and interested. She brought knowledge and service to the community — president of the Junior Serv- ice League, vice-president of the Women of the Church, and member of the Pines of Carolina Girl Scout Council. Active in the
Presbyterian Church, a leader in community work, Martha still remained loyal to UNC- G. She always was ready to serve her alma mater — class agent, county chairman of Annual Giving, member of the Annual Giving Board, and secretary of the Board of Trustees.
Martha and John know the meaning of service, and they have imparted this knowl- edge of working with others to their chil- dren. And son like father and daughter like mother, they too have excelled.
John F. McNair, IV, or Frank as he is called, served his high school well as presi- dent of his freshman, sophomore, and jun- ior classes. An Eagle Scout and an athlete, Frank is a Morehead scholar at the Uni- versity of North Carolina at Chapel HiU.
Elizabeth, a lovely blue-eyed blonde, is just entering her high school years; but she can shoot a "mean" basketball and when it comes to a sewing machine, Eliza- beth is "real cool."
When Wachovia Bank and Trust Com- pany transferred the McNair family from Laurinburg to Raleigh in November of 1970, many deep roots were broken and bruised. But with a family such as this one, so vital, so alive, they will begin anew; and Raleigh will be enriched.
Likewise the Alumni Association of UNC- G will be enriched by the enthusiasm, knowledge, and love that is Martha Fowler McNair. □

Editorial Board Note
Margaret Johnson Watson
A resolution in appreciation of the work of Margaret Johnson Watson '48 as editorial board chairman was unanimously passed by old and new board members at a meetmg in Alumnae House September 15 when Margaret presided for the last time before turning the gavel over to the new chairman, Cynthia Blythe Marshall '65.
The resolution was in recognition of Margaret's service during a period of evalu- ation and change for The Alumni News, which becomes 60 years old this issue. It has been a difficult period when the ad- vantages of a magazine were weighed against those of a tabloid, when the entire
communications program of the University was examined for ways to improve yet reduce costs.
As the magazine has changed, the edi- torial board has changed since its organi- zation in 1963. L'nder the leadership of Elizabeth ("Bibbie") Yates King, its pri- mary charge was to find an editor to succeed Vera Largent, professor emeritus who had accepted the editorship of the magazine for one year. Louise Dannenbaum Falk '33 followed "Bibbie" in the chair- man's chair, and as the magazine gained in circulation (from 4,000 in 1964 to 10,000 this year), alumni readers demanded more information about campus and stu-

dents, still approving the growing number of pages about classmates.
Meanwhile, the editorial board has be- come increasingly an advisory board, sug- gesting and vetoing articles, bringing the comments of other alumni to meetings, serving as a reflector of alumni interest and concern. Two student members were added last year, and this year a third student is serving on the board.
It was Margaret's efforts in helping these changes evolve that the board rec- ognized in its resolution her service "over, above and beyond the call of duty." As Board Member Anne Cantrell White '22, wrote in her Greensboro News column: "Margaret . . . went out in a blaze of glory" although she will remain on the board ex officio.

A Hot Line to UNC-G
Q. I have some old photographs and several annuals from my years at State Normal and Industrial College. Would someone on campus like to have them?
A. Marjorie Hood, who works part time as University Archivist since her retirement from the library staff, is delighted to have any pictures, scrapbooks, annuals or other memorabilia for the College Collection. Material should be addressed to her attention at the W.C. Jack- son Library.
Q. Residents in the campus area complain that the Uni- versity is "ruthless" in obtaining land for the growing campus. If this is true, how can retaining the golf course as open space be justified?
A. Acquisition of land is almost always a painful pro- cedure, especially for long-time residents of a neighbor- hood. The University has tried to be as considerate as possible, but, as a "landlocked" campus, there is a very limited area for expansion. Henry Ferguson, vice-chan- cellor for Business Affairs, cites two reasons for not using the golf course as building sites for recent con- struction on campus. First, with the growing number of male students, it will be necessary to construct some physical education facilities different from those we now have, including such things as a baseball diamond, foot- ball field, and track (these will not be for varsity athletics but for physical education courses and intramural sports). It is necessary to keep such facilities close to the gym- nasia because dressing rooms and shower facilities have to be in adjoining buildings. The golf course is tlie only feasible site for such facilities when they are constructed. Second, recently constructed buildings have been for academic purposes, so must be located in the academic portion of the campus. Our campus is a pedestrian campus with the expectation that students will move from class to class on foot.
Q. I thought registration was being streamlined. How come there was a long line at the cashier's office all day on Monday, Sept. 13?
A. A new procedure requiring students to clear former obligations to the University before registration was put into effect this year. According to Dean of Students Jim Allen, the new system would have been fine except it was proposed too late to notify students who owed money to the University that they would not be permitted to enroll without making an arrangement to take care of the obligation. As a result, everyone had to wait in line, including freshmen, to obtain a clearance from the cashier. Things were better Tuesday.
Shown above is a photograph from the College Col- lection (see Rap Line question at left) which needs identification (time, place and occasion). It shows Dr. Mclver, probably with a high school graduating class. It is believed that the fourth person from the left in the second row was Maude Broadway '93.
Q. Someone told me they saw that two famous alumnae are coming to campus this fall. Who are they?
A. General Mildred Caroon Bailey '40, who will be on campus Tues., Nov. 9, to speak on "The Role of Women in the American Military," and Bonnie Levy Angelo '44, Washington correspondent of Time, who will speak on "Woman's Place, If There Is One." on Tues., Dec. 14. Both are part of a Political Science Lecture Series! Q. I heard that the University planned to raise the fee for on-campus parking this year. Isn't this in violation of the President's wage-price freeze?
A. Because of the 582-car parking lot for students now under construction, it was planned to raise the parking fee from $1 for faculty and $2 for students to $16 this year, according to Henry Fergu.son, vice-chancellor for Business Affairs. The Internal Revenue Service informed the University, however, that this would be a N'iolation of the wage-price freeze. Therefore, it was decided to issue parking permits free to all entitled to them, and to wait until the freeze thaws to make any charge. Those who had already paid $16 received refunds, ff they requested them.
Q. The macrobiotic diet (basically brown rice) has be- come something of a fad among college students. I read that this diet is very dangerous to the health. Are UNC-G students taking up this crazy fad?
A. There has been no evidence that students at UNC-G have adopted this fad, at least, not among those who seek medical attention at the Student Health Service. Q. Where is the coffee house in the Tate Street section located?
A. It's part of the Christian Communitv' Center which was established last summer at 933' 2 Walker Ave., right behind the Bi-Rite super market. A steering committee chaired bv graduate student M. C. Teague, operates the Center from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Plans now include diree religious services weeklv at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday and Sundav nights.

Assistant Director of Development
WHETHER you are counting on an ancient Chinese abacus or using a modern American calculator, the goal for the 1971-72 UNC-G Alumni Annual Giving Campaign will be to top the $1 million mark in the total amount contributed to the program since its beginning in 1962-63.
When the Alumni Annual Giving Council held its fall meeting in September, members of the body de- cided that the Tenth Anniversary Campaign should not be geared toward raising a definite dollar amount, as had previous drives. Since nearly $873,000 had been contributed to the program in its first nine years, the Council voted to try to make the tenth anniversary year the one in which Annual Giving at UNC-G reached and surpassed the $1 million level. In order to help achieve this goal, the Council agreed that alumni should be urged to increase their contributions by ten per cent this year.
The Council also re-elected Mrs. Dorothy Creech Holt '38 of Summit, N. J., to a second term as its chairman and welcomed seven new members, including Jack Pinnix of Reidsville '69, the first male graduate to serve in such a capacity. Other new members are Mrs. Katharine Crouch Sledge '37 of Whiteville; Mrs. Sadie Moyle Suggs '21 of Gastonia; Miss Ruth Wilson '25 of Raleigh; Miss Mereb E. Mossman, UNC-G professor who is the new faculty representati\'e to the council; and new student members Miss Patricia Potter (1972) of Charlotte and Larry Saffiotti (1974) of Upper Saddle River, N. J.
Already serving on the 1.5-member council, in addition to Mrs. Holt, are Mrs. Katherine Keister Tracy '36 of Hickory; Mrs. Karen Jensen Deal '55 of Charlotte; Mrs. Annah Buff Prago '57 of Greensboro; Mrs. Hester Bizzell Kidd '51 of Washington, N. C; faculty members Dr. Donald W. Russell and Dr. David R. Batcheller; and student member Penny Muse (1973) of Laurinburg. A special allocation of $.500 to the University's China Year Program was approved by the Council as part of the distribution of the record $150,571 contributed to Annual Giving during the 1970-71 campaign. The re- maining funds were allocated as follows:
1. Designated Gifts $64,874.63
2. Campaign Costs 9,000.
3. Operation of Alumni Office 49,902.
4. Alumni Scholarships 21,000. '
5. Kathleen Hawkins Student Aid Fund 1,899.67
6. Teaching Excellence Awards 1,000. '
7. Alumni Professorship 1,000. "
8. Special Student Employment Fund 1,000. "
9. Experimental College Equipment Fund 500.
