Our Future Campus To look like the Old
The goal of the updated master plan for the devel- opment of the University is simple and straightforward — to create a more attractive and livable campus. The best aesthetic traditions of the past are retained and extended.
Envisioned is a campus where cars are confined to the peripheries, and people — walking and riding bicycles — have all the right of way along a network of walkways and bicycle lanes criss-crossing the campus.
New buildings resemble old ones; they're red brick and three to four stories tall. They are placed in ways to create and frame more lawns, green spaces, and land- scaped areas.
The key to the plan, the crucial element upon which all else hinges, is to intercept cars at the edge of campus and confine them in a series of parking decks. The heart of the campus is then a car-free zone, a green island freed of the hub-bub of the city that surrounds it.
Decades ago, the part of Walker Avenue that cut through campus was closed, tying the campus closer together, creating more usable space, and making it safer to walk to class. The updated master plan contin- ues the practice, calling for more campus street closings: College Avenue, Forest Avenue, part of Mclver Street, and hmiting access to North Drive and West Drive.
Once Spring Garden is given a more campus- friendly face. College Avenue, the corridor through the
^

heart of campus, will become an important walkway, extending from Foust Building to North Drive.
A New Commons
EUiott Center, the Library, and Mossman Buildmg currently com- prise, in planner's terms, a student support zone, and this zone will be expanded. The new University Center, now a proposal seeking funding, will be located across a landscaped yard, now Forest Street, from EUiott Center.
An addition is proposed for the Library with a west entrance facing the University Center. Elliott Center will be renovated and enlarged as a student services building. The new structures in this zone — the Univer- sity Center, Library addition, and enlarged Elliott Center — will define a new commons, an open, public space.
The existing academic core of the campus — the classroom buildings facing Spring Garden Street and College Avenue — wiU expand north and east with the creation of a science corridor along Mclver Street and the construction of a new buUding for the School of Music at Mclver and West Market streets.
Additions are proposed for the Stone Building, home of the School of Human Environniental Sciences, and the Bryan Business and Economics Building to allow room for the two schools to grow without moving. An addition is also planned for Mclver Building along with its complete renovation. Part of the building would be razed to open up an existing courtyard, making it more accessible.
As part of the Mclver renovation, the Music Annex, the building imme- diately behind the present School of Music building, would be torn down, enlarging and openmg up the Mclver courtyard already in place.

Spring Garden Would Beconne^
The Spring Garden Parkway
Under new guidelines for the development of the campus, busy Spring Garden Street would be dressed up and developed as a parkway.
The redesign would make the street through campus safer and more pedestrian friendly by provid- ing a safe haven for those crossing it. More than 15,000 vehicles a day use Spring Garden to go to and from downtown, and the new design allows that number to increase by channeling the traffic. This solution appears to satisfy everybody.
The parkway character of the campus portion of the street would be achieved by building a land- scaped island down the middle of the street, restricting traffic to one lane in each direction, burying overhead utihty lines, and planting large sh-eet trees. Crosswalks for pedestrians would be distinctive with different pavement, new signs, lighting, and signals.
The parkway boulevard is a change in the University's 1983 plan, which was to close the campus stretch of Spring Garden and reroute traffic to Oakland Avenue. The Greensboro City Council balked at the idea, concerned about the expense of improving Oakland Avenue to accommodate the heavier load of traffic.
To accommodate seventy-seven displaced parking spaces from the new Spring Garden and spaces lost to other development, two parking decks with 1,800 spaces would be built on Oakland Avenue as needed.
The Baseball Stadium
An on-campus baseball stadium to seat 900 fans is in the initial stage of design. It will be located on the south side of Walker Avenue, west of Kenilworth Street. In addition to the stadium, the plan calls for the further development of this tract with tennis courts and a multi- purpose field.
Development here wUl have a dramatic effect on the pubUc percep- tion of the University on its western boundary along Aycock Street. The baseball stadium, tennis courts, and the central parking deck all will be visible to passersby.
To further enliance the quality of campus life, the plan recommends construction of small-scale outdoor recreational facilities. These would include sand volleyball courts, basketball goals, and open areas for activities such as throwing frisbees. These facilities would be located at residence halls.
The plan also calls for the eventual construction of a swimming pool complex on the north side of the Student Recreation Center, which is located on Walker Avenue at Aycock Street.
Open Spaces
A key to creating a more unified and cohesive campus is reinforcing existing open spaces and developing additional ones. These defined and contained lawns, quadrangles, and courtyards act as gathering places, pedestrian crossroads, and organiz- ing areas of the campus. Developed properly, they lend a sense of variety within the larger framework.
A good example of such a space is the area bounded by Forney, Foust, Mclver, and Stone buildings. The buildings clearly define the space, which contains several walkways to other parts of the campus. The space also has a rich landscaped character that distin- guishes it from other spaces on campus.
The plan notes that building sites should be locations that frame open spaces and relate to other buildings, reinforcing pedestrian circulation paths and the open space system. Building size, height, and architec- tural style can vary among different campus areas, but buildings should be consistent in the use of materials and details that echo or complement their neighbors.

RICHARD BARDOLPH
The fall 1994 issue of Aliiiiiiii News carried an article, "My Way to History," narrating for Dr. Mclver the circumstances that had first brought me to the campus in Sep- tember 1944. He had, my readers will remember, stood down from his pedestal to ask me what it was about the College that had attracted me to the campus to begin with and then persuaded me to stay on for the rest of my life. On that occasion we had time to recount the story only up to the moment of my arrival here, but we agreed to meet again later in the summer.
True to his word, as I was taking one of my midrught rambles on September 15 — precisely the fiftieth anniversary of my stepping off the train at the Southern Railway Station — he signalled me as I came by the statue, and we resumed our collo- quy. This time we agreed that I should speak only of my Woman's College days, ending at 1963-64 when the school was transformed into a wholly different inshtution. No longer a hberal arts college for women (with a student population of 2,400 in 1944), it was converted into — I was about to say replaced by — a coeducational multi-purpose university, with a greatly expanded diversity of graduate and profes- sional school components. By 1992 its enrollment had reached 12,000.
I was proud of the University when I retired in 1980 as the most senior member of its professoriat, but I make no secret of my stubborn belief that the Woman's College (1932-1963), formerly the North Carolina College for Women (1918- 1932), was one of North Carolina's most precious treasures. For nearly fifty years it had sent out across the state thousands of North Carolina's best school teachers, finest young citizens, best educated homemakers, most cultivated and expertly trained professional women, and most public-spirited residents, nourished
for four years in what I faithfully believe had been the most demo- cratic, service-dedicated public college in the nation.
The academic atmosphere was further enriched by a remarkable climate of aesthetic and broadly civilizing offerings. One thinks of the nationally famous writing program, created in those years by writers of subsequent world repute; the Arts Forums; the Social Science Forums, the Concert and Lecture Series; the splendid School of Music; the flourishing Student Government Association; the Religious Emphasis Week and the University Sermon program; the distinguished Physical Education Department modelled on those of the best women's colleges of New England. The catalog of excellences was endless; I wish there were space to count the ways.
But, above all, it was in the classrooms and the Library that the whole enterprise was fostered by a faculty dedicated to scholarly excellence and teaching, and a student constituency who took their tasks and opporti.mities seriously. Of course there were exceptions: Idlers and maverick rebels among the students who resisted instruction and professors who declined to share in the enthusiasms that had made the campus imique. I stiU hear from women who were my students forty, even fifty, years ago. I think it no exaggeration to say that not a county, and scarcely a city or town in North Carolina, has not benefitted from the presence of the graduates sent forth by NCCW and WCUNC to be the tastemakers, the consciences, the voices of responsibility, and the humanitarian activists of their communities.
I confess, too, my regret that women's colleges have almost wholly disappeared from the land. I know, to be sure, that it is no longer legally permissible for states or cities to maintain single-sex colleges, and
that nearly all of the finest women's colleges of former years now enroll males. My wife, Dorothy, who subsequently combined a career of homemaking with twenty years as a professor at Bennett College and then ten years as a highly esteemed holder of public office before her lamented passing in 1990, was a graduate of Rockford College in Illinois when it was one of the country's finest private colleges for women (still very much under the spell of its most widely known alumna, Jane Addams). Rockford could comfortably stand comparison with the Seven Sister Colleges of the Northeast. Dorothy and I sent our daughter, Virginia, to Mount Holyoke in 1964 (in 1994 the only remaining women's coUege of the historic ivied septad) for what proved a splendid education wliich by my observation on repeated visits to South Hadley, impressed me as remarkably similar to what was available to students in Greensboro at Woman's College.
I repeat that I am proud of UNCG and grateful for the role I was permitted to play in it. But, while it is now, after all, only one of at least a hundred comparable institutions in America, the Woman's College was surely one of the dozen finest women's colleges, whether private or pubhc, in the nation.
Left to my own impulses, I would devote all of this essay to what I was able to say to Dr. Mclver of the ways in which his planting had flourished, but I am yielding to the urging of alumnae and other friends of the College who were kind enough to write me about my previous arficle, as well as to the suggestions of editor Miriam Barkley, that I select for this piece those aspects of my conversa- tions with the Founder that re- counted the personal recollections WC alumnae may find particularly interesting. 1 suppose it may be
ALUMNI NeVS> WINTER '95 7
assumed that all but the most recent graduates are already familiar with the Woman's College's splendid reputation, so I defer.
To begin with, I came to the College when 1 was still in my twenties and not yet married, as a lowly assistant professor of history and political science. 1 began with a
full fifteen-hour load (in European and American History, and federal and state government), determined even if it killed me (and them too, for that matter) to fire my students' interest in liistory and government. I went at it, to paraplirase the Psalm- ist, like a young nian rejoicing to run a race. At the end of my first year 1 went home to be married, and Dorothy and I returned to Greens- boro to live in one of the four college- owned houses on Mclver Street, where the School of Nursing now stands.
The proximity of our home to the very center of the campus (at first on Mclver Street for five years and thereafter in the 200 block of Tate
Street) attracted drop-in visits by students (sometimes as lunch guests, and after 1946 sometimes as babysitters) — a pleasant habit that sustained a tradition then as old as the College itself.
Such comfortably easy relations between students and faculty families were an aspect of a larger network of student-advising re- sources. Wlien a new freshman class arrived it was divided into platoons of about twelve girls, parcelled out to junior-year students in a big-sister arrangement to quiet the novice's aiixieties and explain the intricacies of the campus life that diverged so sharply from the high school atmo- sphere they had so lately left behind. ParaUeling this effort on a grander scale was the office of the freshman class chairman, devoting its fuU time to guiding the new recruits in personal, social, and academic matters. Then, beginning with the sophomore year, each class had comfortable access to its own class chairman, a faculty member who had been relieved of teaching duties for three years in order to shepherd his/her wards until their graduation. In addition, every member of the teaching faculty was assigned a dozen advisees to look after with a solicitous eye.
The Woman's College was notable also for its Student Govern- ment Association which included a legislative body and a Judicial Board with real powers to try and to disciphne offenders who ran afoul of the rules. SGA was taken seriously in those days as the functioning agency of a self-governing democracy.
Another characteristic aspect of a responsible student community, on a campus where nearly all of the students lived in the dormitories, was the "closed study" system. In the evening, from 7 to 10 (if 1 recall correctly) one was expected to be in her room to study, in an atmosphere
of quiet whose preservation was everybody's responsibility. Students were, however, by official permis- sion, allowed to study in the Library during closed study hours.
My beginning salary was $2,400 (per annum, that is!). In the 1940s advances in salary and rank moved at roughly the speed of a glacier. I thiak 1 remember that it took eight or nine years for me to reach the associate professor's rank and by that time three children had come to join us. My older colleagues told me that in the Depression of the thirties President Foust, responding to severe cuts in the school's budget, took the humane view that across- the-board salary cuts were better than eliminating dozens of faculty positions. The salaries, 1 learned, had only just been restored to their pre- Depression levels at the time 1 came to Greensboro. In many departments (and in mine more than most, 1 think) promotions had been so long deferred that preference had in all conscience to be given to the senior faculty who had labored so long in the vineyard. In my own case, hope deferred had not made my heart sick, for Dorothy and 1 had the advantage of living in a college cottage at a rental so low that I decline to divulge it because it amounted for all practical purposes to a disguised subsidy.
We worked hard and long in those days. A typical instructor taught five classes, usually three or four on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and one or two on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Somehow the heavier Saturday schedules feU to the younger faculty. As I remem- ber, I had an eight o'clock and an eleven o'clock on TTS for several years. Student efforts to avoid Saturday classes were relentlessly thwarted, and near-perfect class attendance was as rigorously insisted
ALUMNI NEWS 'WINTER '95
upon that three "over-cuts" could cost a student an F. Moreover, to keep students on their toes, mid-term appraisals produced the dreaded "unsats" which were sent to parents of students whose work a professor considered less than their best.
After five years at the Mclver Street address, my growing family
immediately fell in love with the regional accent and patterns of speech, though 1 had at first some difficulty in translating the inflec- tions of some students from the mountain counties and the coastal plain. My frequently regretted propensity for terminal candor compels me to report that the
am inclined to ascribe less to my own credentials than to the splendid reputation of the College and to the kindness of professional colleagues both on the campus and at the University of Illinois, who spoke or wrote in my behalf for various perquisites: A Ford Faculty Fellow- ship at Harvard (1952-53), a

(we had 2.5 children by then) moved to a larger house of our own at 207 Tate Street, where 1 now still live. Both the Mclver Street and Tate Street houses had the merit of easy access to students and faculty colleagues who would drop in with friendly compan- ionship not understood by the University's students of the 1990s.
Because my first year at the College coincided with the last year of World War II, young men were in short supply and therefore endowed with scarcity value. I tactfully (one hopes) declined students' invitadons to be their partner at proms, but cheerfully accepted requests to join the Play Likers. Throughout the 1940s 1 was drafted — and somefimes a bit miscast — in nearly every play that was staged at Aycock Auditorium, in roles of (among others) Our Town (I was Simon Stimpson, the sardonic and alcohoUc organist and choirmas- ter); The Skin of our Teeth; Claudia; The Old Maid; The Barretts of Wimpole Street; Springtime for Henry (in the role — would you believe? — written for Edward Everett Horton); Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (in wliich, with a pillow stuffed under my tunic, I was Falstaf'O, Dear Brutus; East Lynn, and T.S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral. I was also induced to sing with choral groups in Recital Hall. 1 remember raising my voice in Bach's Magnificat and Mozart's (or was it Schubert's?) Regina Coeli, but my other contribu- tions to the bass section now elude me.
As a newcomer to the South 1
South's most progressive state's racial mores — still in full force in the forties and beyond — came as something of a shock that, I'm afraid, 1 did little to conceal from my betters. Their doubts about my social and political orthodoxy were further inflamed by the fact that I soon became the Democratic chairman of my voting precinct, president of the Greensboro Chapter of Americans for Democratic Action, and, a bit later, a card-carrying member of the NAACP and the ACLU. 1 sensed that such impeachments were signifi- cantly mitigated by my identification with the most conservative of the various major Lutheran Synods, and my eventual selection as Vice President of the Luther Council in America, a consociation of Lutheran Synods, whose membership for several years totalled about ten million souls. 1 suspect, too, that the fears raised by my association with a long list of liberal and humanitarian groups and agencies were to a considerable extent quieted by my equally conspicuous membership, for nearly twenty-five years, in the three-million-member Luther Church-Missouri Synod's 23-man Commission on Theology and Church Relations, by whom I was occasionally assigned the task of writing the final drafts of position papers on various theological and social issues.
The 1950s brought Dorothy and me a series of fortunate events that I
Fulbright Professorship in Denmark (1953-54), and a Guggenlieim Fellow- sliip (1956-57). The first of these, the Ford, truly was compounded of such stuff as dreams are made on. Begin- ning in 1952 the mulfi-biUion dollar Ford Foundation made avaOable to selected young faculty persons a full year's salary to pursue advanced studies, whether at home or on some campus, to hone their skills. No less than four of these were awarded to Woman's College, three of them in the History Department alone.
We bought our first car, a used '49 Plymouth, and went to Cambridge. Our house there, a grand old place, whose owner was off to a Fulbright in Italy, was in Watertown where we were the neighbors of the Jerome Weisner family. (A few years later Jerry would become President Kennedy's Science Advisor and President of MIT). 1 attended a full round of classes at Harvard, took copious notes to take back to Greens- boro, and made an arrangement to let me look after the children on Fridays while Dorothy attended my classes and took my notes. On weekends and vacations we travelled all over the New England countryside throughout a glorious year.
Before that school year was over 1 was notified of my appointment as a Fulbright Professor to lecture on American Stiidies at two institiitions of higher learning in Denmark. We crossed the Atlantic on the Swedish
ALUMNI NEWS -WINTER '95 9
American Line's Stockholm to the dismay of some of its passengers who averted their gaze while the three little supercharged Americans, Uke mice in oxygen, hung over the rail at an angle that can only be explained by the temporary suspen- sion of the laws of gravity. My responsibilities in Denmark, besides the classroom duties, included
bariks, with the aid of a Uttle portable Coleman stove. Though the small fry occasionally complained that we were stopping at more cathedrals and art galleries — and fewer zoos — than were essential to their happiness, the tour was, of course, a roaring delight, muted by the temporary loss of one of our junior Gullivers. Virginia, then aged seven.
. . . my twenty Woman's College years were surely the happiest two decades of my long life . . .
lecture tours under the auspices of the American Embassy for study circles (to which the Danes are passionately devoted) throughout the kingdom.
In the summer that followed 1 was included in a team of nine American college professors appointed by the State Department to conduct a ten-day Institute for American Studies in Frankfurt for the enlightenment of German college teachers who had, less than a decade earlier, been liberated from Nazi constraints. Despite our impassioned efforts to explain, in the manner of Toqueville, the interior dynamics of American Democracy, our students were far less interested in Marbuiy v. Madison and Brown v. Board of Education than they were in the fact that nine people of such modest and obscure social origins (which they had wormed out of us in question periods) could achieve the exalted rank of university professor.
In the rest of the summer the Bardolph clan loaded their belong- ings on the roof of their Hillman Minx for a tour of Germany, Sweden, Norway, Holland, Belgium, and France, literally living out of suit- cases, and, as often as not, subsisting in deference to our dwindling funds on meals that Dorothy improvised on rural roadsides or remote river
chose the EngUsh cathedral town of Ely as the place to come down with scarlet fever. The local health au- thorities ordered her detainment at Ely's isolation hospital and per- suaded the rest of us to proceed with our tour since we could not be permitted in any case to visit the child until she had fully recovered. A bit sobered, we resumed our odys- sey, telephoning every evening for word of our lost sheep. About ten days later we were reunited at the Frankfurt airport to which Ginny had been flown, unaccompanied, but plastered with identifying orders pinned to her jacket.
The episode, incidentally, did not cost us so much as a penny, thanks to the National Health Service which, we discovered, extended its benevolence not only to all of Britain's people but to the strangers within their gates. Such was our introduction to the NHS, so fervently maligned in some quarters in America and so enthusiastically endorsed by even the most conserva- tive of Britons. Before we left Lon- don, a dental emergency requiring immediate siirgery overtook Dor- othy on a Sunday morning. Within an hour she was in hospital, promptly and competently accom- modated, again at no cost. Lobbyists against socialized medicme have
been wasting their time on me ever since.
Soon thereafter we returned to America on the Kungshobn, reaching Greensboro just in time to witness the havoc of Hurricane Hazel.
Two years after returning to the campus 1 was granted yet another year's leave of absence as a Guggenheim Fellow to write a book on the social origins of liistoricaUy distinguished black Americans. It was published by Rinehart in 1954 and repubUshed shortly thereafter as a paperback in Random House's Vintage Books series.
In short, the fifties had accus- tomed us to repeated unearned increments, culminating in 1960 in my selection as head of the History Department, a post 1 held for nearly twenty years. The memories of two decades of working with a remark- ably gifted and productive team of departmental colleagues who so charitably bore my deficiencies and contrarieties ui the 1960s and 1970s still sustain me as 1 approach my eightieth birthday.
But no less than my beloved colleagues, the thousand Woman's College students who passed (and some who did not pass) through my classes and who remain forever young in my memory, still brighten my days. In short, my twenty Woman's College years were surely the happiest two decades of my long life, and it was a happiness shared — and much of it generated — by the indomitably cheerful Dorothy. Indeed, in the last decade of her remarkably fruitful life, I was often (and still am) introduced simply as Dorothy Bardolph's husband. Tliat, 1 submit, was my richest unearned increment.
Dr. Bardolph, professor emeritus of history, invites alumui renders to suggest topics for future articles.

BY BETTY MAGEE '57
Beth! Magee '57 is a free-lance writer in King of Prussia, PA, filling her empty nest ivith poetnj, music, and good friends. These verses, she says, were written in gratitude of her education at UNCG.
I was walking across campus
one sunny. Southern morning.
It was spring: I was happy, expectant,
without the famtest sophomoric
cloud floating through my head.
It was 1956: our college in North Carolina
had just integrated without incident.
Greensboro, blossoming with flowers, was
stiU virgin to marches, sit-ins,
fire hoses and snarling dogs.
This was Rosa Parks' year, and King would go to Birmingham jail.
I just wanted to smell the air —
and get to the post office before class.
Winter brought pain undreamed.
Our Ethics professor, (Warren Ashby, 1 love you),
told us about the New South,
without Wltite-onh/ signs spelling out
our Aryan superiority over slaves.
We believed him, and I praise liim even now.
Then I saw it: a letter from my Dad.
I knew he was a Southern gentleman
who drank bourbon and had one of the
reddest necks below the Mason-Dixon line,
but I was not prepared for this.
"Come home," his letter said. "I will not educate
a communist." Communist. Joe McCarthy
had struck me down as foully as if
he had called me in front of the
Committee on Un-American Activities.
My father read his newspaper,
had a good long think, and concluded
that my college was being run by
communists from the top down.
That was it for me. No more money.
But I had to major in English.
Randall Jarrell was there. Robert Frost
had been summoned. Yeats lost
Maude Gunne, and I was to lose
learning, love and bliss because my father
wanted me to be a good American,
and his world of wl-dte supremacy
was faUing down around liis disillusioned heart.
Now tutored in history (Eugene Pfaff,
your Socratic spirit lives!), I saw Brutus come alive.
On full scholarship... amazing grace, 1
stayed on to see past old wounds.

Project Homestretch
UNCG Social Work Students Help the Homeless in Greensboro
TThe UNCG Department of Social Work and the Greens- boro Urban Ministry have teamed up in Project Home- stretch to help the homeless. Under the guidance of an instructor, ten Social Work students help assess the needs of the homeless in Greensboro and then steer them to the appropriate social service agencies. The students work out of the headquarters of the Urban Ministry.
"Social work education is not sociology," said Dr. Robert Wineburg, department chair. "It's not just the world in theory. To be relevant, you have to be out in the community.
"For universities to be pertinent and relevant, they have to pay attention to their region and their locale," he said, "without forsaking the important contributions that scholars make to their fields nation- ally and internationally."
The goal of the three-year project, which is funded by a federal grant, is to help the homeless find a permanent place to Uve and a way to pay for it. Now, Dr. Wineburg said, communities handle the homeless problem by giving the homeless soup and a sandwich, a place to sleep, and then leave them to fend for themselves.
Part-Time Jobs
High School Seniors Enjoy a Big Payoff
Part-time jobs for high school seniors pay off in the long run. Dr. Christopher Ruhm, a labor economist at UNCG, has found. He cautioned, however, the experience is not a substitvite for a college education, where the payoff is much greater.
However, working up to 20 hours a week in an entry level job appears to significantly increase a student's career earning power. "My explanation is that eniployment as a student matters a lot more in the period just before a young person enters the work force on a full-time basis," Dr. Ruhm said.
"Working in the senior year of high school eases the transition into the workplace," he said. "In some cases, high school students may continue their jobs after graduation, and those economic benefits may place them ahead of other students.
"Even if they change jobs," he said, "they have acquired knowl- edge of their local job market and
are making useful contacts. They have some sense of the demands of the workplace, and they've picked up some marketable work skills and time management skills. It's not stretching it to say they may be developing a work ethic."
Dr. Ruhm's research was based on data from the National Longitu- dinal Study of Youth conducted by the US Department of Labor from 1979-9L He found that six to nine years after graduating from high school, seniors who had worked up to 20 hours a week earned about 22 percent more than seniors who did not work in high school, and they were more likely to have fringe benefits such as medical insurance and pension plans.

Dr. Don Morgan of UNCG has received a grant of $346,349 for a five-year study titled "Physical Growth and the Aerobic Demand of Locomotion."
"Our study will examine the influence of physical growth on the energy cost of locomotion in young children," Dr. Morgan said. "We know that as cliildren age they tend to become more efficient and use less energy in locomotion, but we don't know why that occurs."
With the grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Dr. Morgan will track

In the study, children will be filmed as they walk and run on a treadmill and walk on a force plate that measures their exertion. Their body fat will be measured and monitored.

Sports Psychologist Interviews the Elite
The US Olympic Committee is funding researcin by Dr. Daniel Gould to identify the psychological factors that hinder recovery from serious injury among members of the US Ski Team.
A sports psychologist at UNCG, Dr. Gould is interviewing twenty- nine skiers who in the past three years had injuries which ended their racing seasons. He also is interviewing coaches and trainers involved in ski injury treatment.
The goal is to use the findings to develop an injury support and recovery system for members of the US Ski Team. Unlike many other sports, injuries isolate skiers. Most races are in Europe, and an injured skier is sent home to recuperate away from his teammates.

Residence Halls Are Spruced Up
Resident students returned this fall to find that more than $1.3 million of renovations, repairs, and maintenance had been done to campus residence halls over the summer.
The projects included painting more than four hundred student rooms, stairwells, and lobbies; new student room h.irniture for
Moore /Strong and Reynolds; more than three hundred new mattresses; roof repairs; exterior painting; and extensive floor stripping.
Another $2 miUion has been set aside to continue the improvements to the residence halls next summer. The University is committed to further improving the quaUty of campus life for students.
Master's Degree Offered in Leisure Studies
The Department of Leisure Studies began offering spring semester a IViaster of Science in Leisure Studies, the only program of its kind in the Piedmont Triad.
Dr. Stephen Anderson, department chair, said, "We are targeting the western side of North Carolina and hope to draw from as far away as Charlotte and Hickory. The individuals we expect to serve in the greatest numbers are men
and women who already have baccalaure- ate degrees and are employed in parks and recreation or leisure services."
Master's degrees in recreational fields often are key factors in career advancement. Dr. Anderson said that many public and private agencies promote only people with master's degrees.
Learning How To Ease tlie Sliift
About 200 freshmen this fall were enrolled in a new course aimed at helping them get off to a good start as students at UNCG.
Called "Principles and Processes of Student Develop- ment in Higher Education," the course covered topics such as campus culture, time manage- ment, test taking, cultural diversity, and personal and social skills. In addition to lectures, discussions, assign- ments, and two exams, there were class activities. Staff from the Division of Student Affairs and Office of Academic Advis- ing taught the course.
One of the first assign- ments was a scavenger hunt that took students to campus buildings and offices to learn their way around.
While the course wasn't required, freshmen were strongly encouraged to enroll. 'The academic performance of students in their first semester is not as good as it ought to be," said Martha Trigonis, UNCG's orientation director. "We want to improve their performance."

An ambitious farmer stood in the tender green fields of early spring when sometlting in the sky com- pelled him to look upward. The clouds, high and full, swirled to form two letters of the alphabet: "GP." Tliinking tliis some kind of sign, the farmer ran home to teU liis family. "It's a command from God," he said, "telling me to 'Go Preach.' 1 shall give up the farm and go preach to the people." The practical wife pondered.

We asked them why they have jomed the Association or what barriers have prevented them from joining. We asked them what kinds of benefits and services are attrac- tive. We asked them of their interest in local chapters. We gave them a chance to extol or spout off — we need to hear it all.

"We hope to restructure the bookkeeping proce- dures and streamline the accounting operations toward greater effi- ciency." Policies are being developed and accounts are being defined in order to standardize operations.
Ensuring the fiscal health of the Association is a major goal. How- ever, more alumni support is needed. "The emphasis right now is to increase the number of annual dues- paying Association members," Gaye said. "WMle we appreciate the commitment of our Life Members, we need the support of our annual members, too." Annual dues help sustain the Association's operating budget.

Are teenage pregnancy rates
really dropping?
teens are single mothers.
There are incredible costs associated with adolescent pregnancy, both in dollars and in the lives of the mothers and their children. From 1987 to 1991, tor North Carolina teen births there was a 97 percent rise in welfare costs (AFDC, Medicaid, and food stamps) from $232,000,000 in 1987 to $457,800,000 in 1991. This does not include personal costs of limited education, loss of job opportunities, and the decreased oppor- tunity to become a financially indepen- dent, productive member of society. Almost half of all girls and 70 percent of all boys who parent a child before age 18 will never receive a high school diploma.
Women who had their first baby as a teen earn only half the lifetime earnings as women who wait until age 20 to have their first child. Sixty percent of teen mar- riages end in divorce within the first five years. Ninety percent of teen fathers abandon the mother and child.
The 97 percent increase in welfare costs associated with adolescent births does not include costs of prevention programs. For every one dollar we spend on teen pregnancy in North Carolina, only one cent is spent on prevention. Three levels of prevention are addressed by a variety of programs: (1) prevent teens from becoming sexually active, (2) prevent teens from becoming preg-

Answers:
Yes, overall rates are dropping, but the birth rates for adolescents age 10-14 are rising. Even though the rates are dropping, the problem is so mammoth and has such grave consequences that the attention is still on solutions to the problems associated with adolescent pregnancy.
In 1993 there were 23,040 preg- nancies resulting in 15,537 live births to adolescents age 9-19 in North Carolina. Even though the 1993 birth rates show a downward trend from 67.0 births per 1,000 adolescents age 15-19 in 1990 to 65.2 per 1,000 in 1993 the rates are still much higher than the low of 55.1 per 1,000 in 1983, indicating fewer teens are choosing abortion and are becoming parents.

nant, and (3) prevent or reduce the negative consequences of teen preg- nancy. Among successful prevention strategies are programs and curricula that teach students to postpone sexual involvement, provide comprehensive family life education, teach male respon- sibility, and offer access to adolescent health and family planning services.
Significant reductions in adolescent pregnancy rates have been made in Guilford County during the past few years, in 1988 Guilford County had the highest rate of pregnancy among 10-14 year olds in the five largest counties in North Carolina. By 1991 we were tied with Wake County, and by 1992 we were the lowest among those same five counties, with a drop from 6.8 per 1,000 to 2.7 per 1,000. Many groups and agencies are working in Guilford County to reduce the incidence and conse- quences of adolescent pregnancies. The Coalition on Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention works to examine gaps in services and needs of the future.
I have been involved with a program for the past 4 1/2 years called "Delay Subsequent Pregnancies of Adolescent Mothers: Dollar-A-Day." Other faculty previously involved with the program are Dr. Marilyn Evans and Dr. Margaret Dick. Currently, Dr. Rebecca Saunders and I work with staff at the Guilford County Health Department's Family Planning/ Maternity clinic to conduct meetings each week with a small group of teen mothers to try to delay a second pregnancy until they can complete high school and, one hopes, some type of further education. We work toward short-term and long-
term goal setting, building self-esteem, and staying in school. Each mother present at weekly meetings and remain- ing non-pregnant receives seven one dollar bills — a dollar a day. The value of the program is in the information they receive at the sessions; the money only serves as an incentive to get them to the meetings. The Greater Triad Chapter of the March of Dimes funded the program through 1994; the Kate Reynolds Charitable Trust will fund it for 1995. The program costs approximately $700 per mother per year. In addition to the dollar
a day, the funds are used for food during the meetings and some educational materials. There are ten mothers in the group at a time. To date there have been fifty-three mothers enrolled and a repeat pregnancy rate of only 19 percent. Reported repeat pregnancy rates for adolescent mothers range from 30 to 50 percent within two years of the first birth. Our program has served as a model for other areas, but there is still a lot of progress to be made.

hortly before I moved from New York to Greensboro in the mid- 1960s, I was told by a bookish friend in New York that Greensboro was a "literary place."
The glowing descrip- tion didn't square with my preconceived image of a Southern textile city. But then, I had visited the place only once and very briefly at that. Little did I know that
I would land in the
middle of what some
would call the "Golden
Era" at the University.
(Only a year earlier it
had changed its name
from Woman's College). The University's
faculty sounded like a
Who's Who of Southern
Literature: Peter Taylor,
Randall Jarrell, and
Allen Tate. Tate no
longer lived here but
was forever popping in
and out of town to teach
for a semester or give
poetry readings.
And there was also Fred
Chappell and Robert Watson, who
were years younger but had already
established their Uterary reputations.
So had Eleanor Ross Taylor, the
distinguished poet, who was Peter
Taylor's wife.
What grand parties the Taylors
used to throw in that big rambling
house in Fisher Park. It was there
that I met Eudora Welty, who was
suffering from laryngitis and
couldn't speak. And it was there
where Allen Tate, chain-smoking
and wheezing, often held court when
he visited Greensboro.
But none of his famous literary
friends outshined Peter. Gregarious,
witty and enormously charming, he had that enviable knack of making each person in a room feel special and interesting. Eleanor, though of quieter disposition than her hus- band, had the same gracious trait.
All of these memories came rushing back . . . with the sad news that Peter Taylor had died in Charlottesville, VA, at age 77.
The Taylors moved to Charlottesville in the late '60s where Peter would direct the creative

writing program at the University of Virginia. 1 visited their Charlottes- ville house, too. It had once belonged to William Faulkner, who, m his hny handwriting, had outhned the plot of The Reivers on the wall of the study. The Taylors carefully did not repamt the study when they moved in.
But there were plenty of other houses that got repainted. Peter
collected houses — often two or three at a time — the way other people collect old cars. His second caUing was real estate.
His first, of course, was writing gem-like ficHon. As The Neiv York Times wrote in his long obituary: "His fiction never had the widest readership, but liis loyal admirers sought out and savored his tales of upper-class citizens in an old and changing South."
Peter wrote fiction for more than fifty years, and critics hailed him as an Ameri- can Checkov for his masterly short stories. One critic called him America's best-kept literary secret. Not that Peter Taylor wanted to be a secret.
Yet it was not until he was in his old age that Peter won a broader readership and a slew of prestigious prizes.
His novel, A Sum- mons to Mempihis, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1986, and a collection of short stories. The Old Forest, was awarded the coveted PEN /Faulkner Prize. His new novel, /;; the Tennessee Cotintn/, was pubUshed only weeks before his death and has earned praise from reviewers.
When I learned of Peter's death . . . , I tried to remember the happy times.
And I was grateful that death delayed its coming until literary recognition found him first.

Margaret Batterham Waters
Class of 1918 Seymour, Tennessee
In Her Nineties, She's Still Writing
"... / demanded of the conductor at the steps, 7s this our
car? The man grinned impishly, 'It depends upon where you
are going.' "To Greensboro!' amazed tliat he didn't knoiv."
Margaret Batterham Waters, who is 97 years old, concludes her memoir of growing up in Asheville at the turn of the century with boarding the train for the State Normal School, now The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She remembers the trip this way:
"The train chuffed along. The wheels beating out a chorus of remembrances. At a certain point near Black Mountain, the Craggy five peaks dominated the horizon. I leaned at the window to gaze on that endeared moun- tain and transported myself in fancy to its serene crest. Fading away hazily, into the blue beneath its ramparts, were those lesser ridges that held the innocence, the radiancy of a hometown to which the spirit would forever be mobilized, in those upland meadows of childhood."
The published work. Those Upland Meadows, is available in the gift shop at Biltmore Estates.
The daughter of English immigrants, Mrs. Waters grew up in a household with an air and table of distinctly British flavor. Thomas Wolfe, whom she called Tommy, was a childhood acquaintance. As a teenager, Margaret compiled a weekly column of Asheville society news for the Charlotte Observer.
Margaret, who lives near Gatlinburg, Tennessee, says Hill Top Records of California has expressed interest in her work after reviewing a copy of her rhymed verse, Wayfarer on Mother Earth.
