It's

a curious

fact —

that

Alumnus Robbie Tillotson's award-winning
bicentennial poster is on exhibit in Weather-
spoon Gallery through the month of May.

Robbie Tillotson, a native of Denton, is one
of twelve young artists in the United States
selected by the American Revolution
Bicentennial Administration to design a poster
commemorating the 200th anniversary of
the Republic.

Recently referred to in Andy Warhol's
Interview, a New York publication, as a "rising
young art star, according to Elaine DeKooning
and Alice Neel, both early collectors of his
work," Robbie has had paintings in major
exhibits in New York, Greensboro, St. Louis
and at the Gallery of Contemporary Art in
Old Salem.

Dorothy Nakamura, director of the Wiener
Gallery on Madison Avenue where he had a
one-man show last March, says of his work:
"Robbie is reaching for new goals to conquer
in the art world. He has an exciting adventure
in store as he explores and explodes with
vivid imagination and the creative talent born
in him."

He is director of the New York-based
Appalachian State University Art Extension.
He also teaches painting and art history to
ASU students who make regular trips to New
York for field work.

When plans for America's bicenten-
nial were being discussed several
years ago, there were many who felt
the 200th anniversary of the republic
should be ignored. It was in the
wake of the war in Vietnam and
the scandals of Watergate. The ecol-
ogy crisis was at its height. The
abuses of power by government and
corporations made the headlines
daily.

It's also noteworthy that much the same mood pre-
vailed in America 100 years ago. There was much the
same attitude of indifference as the nation prepared to
celebrate its centennial in 1876. The population of forty
million was grappling with the aftermath of civil war
and searching for a way to shore up a flagging pride in
nation. But then a ground swell of grassroots activity
arose to bring forth a thoughtful celebration of what the
country, North and South, had accomplished since 1776.
Today, not unlike a century ago, there has been a
ground swell of grassroots activity that has added up
to thousands of bicentennial projects across the country.
And perhaps this is an historically valid way to proceed.
That's precisely how it all started 200 years ago when a
stirring dream became a reality.

The Bicentennial has featured the inevitable flag-
waving, bellringing and red-white-and-blue bunting, but
there has been reflection too as individuals and organi-
zations have worked to restore and preserve historic
mementoes of the past.

Patrick Henry once said: "I know of no way of
judging the future but by the past." Becoming re-
acquainted with America's past is a way to forecast a
future . . . hopefully of peace and order for America and

the

rid.

Concert at Kennedy

by Dean Lawrence Hart, School of Music

UNC-G played a leading role in the celebration of the
nation's Bicentennial when the School of Music was
asked to organize two major projects.

The first of these, a program of music by North
Carolina composers, was presented three times: twice in
North Carolina — at Wake Forest University and at
Meredith College — and on December 1, 1975, in a
glamorous performance at the John F. Kennedy Center
in the nation's capital. The second project, offering an
even broader spectrum of North Carolina's musical
achievements, is still underway: A series of thirteen
thirty-minute radio programs is being aired by thirty-
eight radio stations throughout the state. Altogether, the
two musical projects include representative works by at
least twenty-five North Carolina composers and more
than eight hours of music. Coordinators, composers,
conductors, and performers comprise an impressive list
of UNC-G alumni, faculty, and students.

The projects are part of a nationwide program spon-
sored jointly by the National Federation of Music Clubs
and the Music Industries Council, appropriately titled
"Parade of American Music." Funded in part by Exxon
of America, a series of fifty-two concerts has been sched-
uled at Kennedy Center, representing each of the nation's
fifty states, plus one concert representing the District
of Columbia and a final gala honoring John Philip
Sousa.

Maxine Taylor Fountain of Raleigh was coordinator
for North Carolina's programs. A music graduate of
NCCW, Mrs. Fountain turned to her alma mater for
advice and assistance in organizing North Carolina's
contribution to the "Parade." She appointed Dr. Lawrence
Hart, Dean of the School of Music, chairman for the
Kennedy Center concert and Dr. Arthur Hunkins, as-
sociate professor in composition and director of the
university's electronic studio, program director for the
thirteen radio shows. Dr. Lois Andreasen, assistant pro-
fessor in dance, was a member of the committee of
professional artists who selected and planned the pro-
grams.

The planning committee agreed that the single hour
allowed for the Kennedy Center concerts (5:30 to 6:30
p.m.) precluded any effort to present a historical resume
of North Carolina's musical development. Instead, it
decided to develop a showcase of important musical
achievement by serious North Carolina musicians of
the present day. In the interest of variety, the program
included music for symphony orchestra and chorus. To
obtain a broad base for the selection of works, the

committee invited recommendations from music de-
partments of all colleges and universities in the state,
as well as from North Carolina composers. National
regulations for the "Parade" stipulate that composers
must have had a substantial role in the musical life of
the honored state and must be native-born Americans.
An exception to the latter qualification was permitted
for the radio programs. This allowed recognition of the
very important musical contribution of the Moravian
composers, whose activity occurred before the United
States began to develop its own indigenous serious music.

In the selection of performers for the Kennedy Center
event, the committee turned to the North Carolina School
of the Arts, the nation's only state-supported con-
servatory, to provide the symphony orchestra for the
occasion. Maestro Nicholas Harsanyi, Dean of Music
and conductor of the NCSA Symphony Orchestra, agreed
to prepare the orchestral portions of the concert. Initially,
an inter-collegiate choral group was to be selected from
various colleges throughout the state. This idea was soon
abandoned for logistic and financial reasons, and Dr.
Richard Cox agreed to provide the UNC-G Chorale as
the choral organization for the concert.

These decisions were confirmed by the end of the
spring semester. During the summer and early fall
Maxine Fountain and Lawrence Hart spent many hours
in search of funds to support the two projects. The results
were not only successful, but they revealed a faith in
the planned program and, even more importantly, in the
student performers and the composers to be presented.

Principal donors toward the total budget of nearly
810,000 included the Mary Duke Biddle Foundation,
Exxon of America, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Ayers with the
Martha and Spencer Love Foundation, Sears and Com-
pany, and J. P. Stevens. In addition, many individuals,
through the North Carolina Federation of Music Clubs
and other musical organizations, contributed substantially
through smaller gifts.

Also during the summer. Dr. Hunkins completed a
monumental task: reviewing and selecting works to be
used for the radio broadcasts. Continued on Page 4

The concert program, which was finally selected by
the committee and approved by conductors Harsanyi and
Cox, was worthy of North Carolina and of the concert

The School of Music was especially proud that the
composers selected included one alumna, Hermene War-
lick Eichhom, and one faculty member. Dr. Hunkins.
In addition. Dr. Jack Jarrett, now at the Virginia Com-
monwealth University in Richmond, is a former member
of the LTNC-G music faculty.

The two in-state concerts were well received, and
the student musicians were given a warm welcome by
music club members and others in Winston-Salem and
Raleigh. But the event — the Kennedy Center appearance
— proved to be outstanding in every respect. Impeccably
prepared through rehearsing and the "warm-up" concerts
in North Carolina, the student members of the NCSA
Orchestra and the LTNC-G Chorale were reach' for an
optimum performance. The rehearsal at the concert hall
preceding the public performance was thrill enough
to justify the trip — the "feel" of such a magnificent hall
is a rare experience for student performers and for
many professionals. Adding an audience of 1,500 persons,
the result was electrifying. Much of the credit for the
sizable audience, one of the largest for any of the
"Parade" series thus far, goes to the UNC-G Alumni
Association, which mailed an announcement of the event
to over 900 alumni in and around the Capital.

Following the concert, the composers, performers and
conductors attended an elegant reception in the Caucus
Room of the Cannon Office Building as guests of the
North Carolina State Society in Washington. Since mem-
bership of this organization includes North Carolina's
congressional delegation in Washington, the reception

was another thrill for the LTNC-G students, composers,
and faculty who attended. An impressive coda to a
musical job well done.

NORTH CAROLINA MUSIC

School of Music sponsored a number of musical events
during the year. A program of American choral music
was presented by the Chorale, the Women's Glee Club
and the Symphonic Chorus on October 31 and November
2. The Wind Ensemble with the Chorale gave a special
concert February 29. The Chorale performed for the
southern division convention of the American Chorale
Directors Association in Williamsburg, Virginia, Febru-
ary 19, and for the Bicentennial Collegiate Choral Festi-
val in New Orleans April 8 and 9. Soprano Lindsey
Peters sang American art songs of the 20th century and
representative popular music of the late 18th and 19th
centuries on March 27 in Alumni House. Miss Peters
will give the same recital several times in Europe this
summer in commemoration of the United States Bicen-
tennial.

Blandwood/Town and Gown

The recent opening of a special exhibition at Blandwood,
Governor Morehead's mid-nineteenth century estate in
Greensboro, was a bicentennial venture of "town and
gown." Half a dozen departments and schools on campus
contributed time and talents to assembling exhibits
which reflected the quality of life in 1850 when Bland-
wood was a social center.

It was last summer that the Guilford County Bicen-
tennial Commission inquired about opening Blandwood
during Historic Guilford month (March) as part of the
county's bicentennial celebration. Six rooms of the
Tuscan-style villa had already been furnished under the
direction of Virginia Ford Zenke '46, Curator, who
worked with her husband Henry Zenke, Director of
restoration.

The possibility of mounting special exhibits reflecting
the life of the period was discussed with Dr. Richard
Bardolph, coordinator of UNC-G's bicentennial celebra-
tion activities. Dr. Bardolph turned to Dr. Jean Gordon
of the history faculty who accepted responsibility for
organizing the efforts of the campus community.

A major exhibit was researched and assembled by
Charles Adams, emeritus director of the W. C. Jackson
Library. Mr. Adams assembled material for an exten-
sive display of the work of the architect, Alexander Jack-
son Davis, a designer of the period. (It was the State
Capitol at Raleigh, which Mr. Davis designed, that
brought together the architect and John Motley More-
head, the first Governor to serve after the Capitol's com-
pletion.)

Mr. Adams collected photographs, books and original
Davis lithographs for the exhibit. Joseph Nelson, a pro-
fessional photographer on the Physics department staff,
photographed many of the original works. Emilie Mills
'62, MFA '65, Special Collections librarian, helped to
assemble appropriate books and loaned a series of rare
Frank Leslie fashion plates for the needlework exhibit
and an original Audubon print.

Gilchrist Gainey, a candidate for a masters in history,
helped assemble and display a 19th century needlework
exhibit which includes handwoven coverlets loaned by
Ruth Henry '26. Gilchrist also prepared three ladies'
dresses from the period, loaned from the Historic Cos-
tume Collection of the School of Home Economics by
Lavina Franck, Curator.

Tom Baker, graduate student in history and Treva
Wilkerson Mathis '33, Curator of the Quaker Collection
at Guilford College, worked together on the Early
Settlers Room. Here are shown the cultural contributions

of the three groups who first settled the Guilford area:
the Scotch Irish, the Germans and the Quakers.

Governor Morehead's contributions to North Caro-
lina's development is professionally presented in a 15-
minute color slide presentation for which Dr. Gordon
wrote the script and did camera work. Here the
WUNC-TV staff provided assistance: William Alspaugh
in the narration, and Emil Young and George Smith in
production of the presentation and synchronization.

Dr. Charles Lynam, head of the School of Music's
voice department, assisted with background music and
sang the Old North State which introduces the film. Also
for the film, James Howsmon, a music student from
Manassas, Virginia, played a mazurka, written for Gov-
ernor Morehead's girls' school, Edgeworth Seminary.

Art of the period was loaned by Weatherspoon Gallery
and by private collectors such as Jane Harris Armfield
'60. The North Carolina Museum of Art also loaned
paintings, and the marble bust of Governor Morehead
was borrowed from the Rotunda of the Capitol Building
in Raleigh.

None of the workers were professionals in museum
display, but all were interested in the nineteenth century,
a period when people dared to tackle something new.
The special exhibition at Blandwood from March 15-
April 15 seemed an appropriate way to celebrate the
American heritage during the Bicentennial.

Dr. Richard Current

Rating North Carolina

Rating the states is an intellectual game that journalists,
reformers and social scientists have been playing for
some time. The most recent and most elaborate of the
ratings, one that purports to show differences in the
"quality of life," puts California first, Colorado second,
Wisconsin twenty-first, and North Carolina forty-second.
I was born and raised in Colorado and have lived in
the other states. If I were called upon to rate the four,
I would put North Carolina or Wisconsin at the top,
Colorado next and California below that. There must
be something wrong with me. Or maybe there is
something wrong with the rating system. ( But more
about that later. )

Whether good or bad, every state has a unique char-
acter and reputation. North Carolina has been known
as outstandingly progressive, presumably blessed with
an unusually clean government, a great university re-
spected by the people and devoted to public service,
and a record of leadership in political reform. But North
Carolina has not been consistently famous as a pro-
gressive state.

For a long time North Carolina was derided for its
backwardness. William Byrd II expressed the super-
cilious view of upper-class Virginia colonists when he
wrote his History of the Dividing Line. Making much
of the "Slothfulness of the People," Byrd described
colonial North Carolina as "Lubberland." A century
later, newspapers throughout the country were in the

Dr. Current, distinguished professor of his-
tory at UNC-G, is widely recognized as an
historian, author and Lincoln scholar. He
was recently selected to write a Bicentennial
history of Wisconsin where he received his
Ph.D. degree from the University at Madi-
son. He was head of the UNC-G history
department from 1955-60 before returning
to Wisconsin as the William F. Allen pro-
fessor of American History. From 1962-63,
he was Harmsworth Professor of American
History at the University of Oxford, return-
ing to UNC-G in 1965. These excerpts are
from his presidential address at a Washing-
ton meeting of the Southern Historical
Association.

habit of referring to North Carolina as the "Rip Van
Winkle State." No wonder Tar Heels became a bit
defensive. They expressed their feelings whenever they
sang the state song, pledging always to cherish and
protect Carolina — "though scorners may sneer at and
witlings defame her."

North Carolinians could take pride in the burst of
economic and social progress their state made during
the 1840's and 1850's. They boasted of new railroads,
a new school system (the "best" in the South), a new
capitol (the "most elegant" in the whole country). No
longer need the citizen expect to "have his feelings
wounded at the sneering remarks of scoffers and wit-
lings as they defamed the Old North State," ran a letter
to the Fayetteville Observer in 1856. Tar Heels at last
were demanding respect from their fellow countrymen.

A Capitol Hog Pasture

But they failed to get much of it. After stopping in
Raleigh on his journey through the seaboard South,
Frederick Law Olmstead conceded that the North Caro-
lina statehouse was a "noble building," but he pointed
out that it stood in a rough, unimproved field, which
was "used as a hog-pasture." "North Carolina," he com-
mented, "has a proverbial reputation for the ignorance
and torpidity of her people, being in this respect at the
head of the Slave States."

After the Civil War, North Carolinians "relapsed
into an indolent attitude" and were content to "let
progress drift by them," or so it seemed to traveling
reporter Edward King in 1874. Three years later, with
the organization of a state board of agriculture, the
North Carolina government began a serious effort to
attract people to the state and to promote its economic
development. From time to time the board of agricul-
ture issued a handbook full of enticing information. One
of the volumes allowed that the state had more than
its share of illiterates but argued that a "lack of elemen-
tary education" was "far from being a drawback" when
it came to potential millhands.

Far less favorable than the official propaganda was
the view of North Carolina's progress that the visiting
native son, Walter Hines Page, presented in "The For-
gotten Man," an address delivered on the campus of
the State Normal and Industrial College in Greensboro.
The state's most desperate need, Page told his fellow

Alumni and the Bicentennial

David Caldwell Log College
Emma Sharpe Avery Jeffress '40 is chairman of the David
Caldwell Log College, Inc., an organization formed to
create a memorial park on land believed to be the site
of the David Caldwell Log College. The college was
founded by the minister-educator-physician, David Cald-
well. Its alumni include five governors, congressmen,
judges, lawyers, ministers and physicians who served
the state during the Revolutionary period. Among alumni
who have worked with Emma Sharpe are Jane Whitaker
Kellett MA 68, Millie Stratford King 30, Vail Hope
Ellis '49, and Alma Rightsell Pinnix 19.

The Guilford County Bicentennial Commission has
adopted the Caldwell Memorial Park endeavor as a
major Heritage project. The Rachel Caldwell chapter
of the DAR (named after David Caldwell's wife) selected
it as its bicentennial project also.

A limited edition biography of David Caldwell has
just been published under the aegis of the Greensboro
Junior League. Ethel Stephens Arnett LHD '67, Greens-
boro historian and author of the biography, has assigned
all profits from the book as a bicentennial gift to the
Caldwell Log College Fund. (The biography may be
ordered for $20, plus state sales tax and 50 cents postage,
from Mrs. William Cloninger, 218 East Avondale, Greens-
boro 27410.)

Bicentennial Play

Rose Marie Cooper PhD 75 has composed a bicentennial
musical. Oh Penelope, which involves two UNC-G alumni
as performers. Terrell Weaver Cofield MM '65 plays the
leading role of Penelope, hostess of the Edenton Tea
Party, which took place a short time after the more
famous Boston Tea Party. (In the Edenton protest, ladies
from five North Carolina counties vowed not to use
East India tea until England removed the tax.) It is
the earliest known instance of political activity on the
part of women in the American colonies.
Claudia Higgins Whitaker 70 and Ralph Kearns, a for-
mer member of the drama and speech faculty, are also
members of the professional cast which has presented
the musical in Georgia, in Missouri and in half a dozen
cities in North Carolina. Performances have also been
given before the Tryon Palace Commission in New Bern
and the South Carolina Bicentennial Commission in
Abbeyville.

The Missouri University Singers opened Missouri
Night at Kennedy Center on April 26 with "This Is the
Land I Love," one of the most popular songs from the

Bicentennial Balladeer

Betty Nance Smith "48 wants children to grow up with
a storehouse of folk music, and she's doing her best to
see that they do. "This is our heritage: ballads, hymns,
fiddle tunes. They've been sung and resung and played
over and over for generations, and they never wear out."

A leading folk singer in the Southeast, Betty performs
on dulcimer, autoharp and guitar. She recently added
the psalter}' to her repertoire of folk instruments and
became one of 34 players in the United States. The
psaltery dates back to ninth century Bohemia, but most
of the ones in existence today have been handcrafted
in the last decade.

Betty, who grew up in a musical family in High Point,
learned many of her songs from her father. After several
years in social work (her BA degree is in sociology), she
sought a graduate degree in early childhood education
from Georgia State University. A main purpose was
her interest in handicapped children. She found she
could teach them through songs to which they responded.
(She recently published a music curriculum for young
children based on folk music.)

Betty performs at numerous folk festivals each year.
For more than a score of years, she has been a highlight
of the Fiddler's Grove Old Time Fiddler's Convention
and Blue Grass Festival in Union County. She also
records for Folk Legacy Records in Sharon, Connecticut,
and conducts workshops, programs and concerts for
schools and colleges.

Everywhere she goes, she is on the lookout for new
songs to add to her performing repertoire and to tape
for teachers to use in a six-year graded music program.
"\lv library on tolk music is larger than those you find
at colleges. But most ol what I know, I learned from
other people. That is really the only way this heritage of
lolk music can be taught."

Ol the more than 200 songs she has collected, the
ballads are her favorites. She is always uncovering for-
gotten ones and new versions of the more familiar ones.
She learned "Foggy Dew" from a man in Madison who
learned it from his grandmother. "Naomi Wise" is based
on a true incident involving the murder ol a young
servant girl on Betty's great grandfather's homcplace in
Randolph County.

This is what enchants Betty about America's musical
heritage. There is always another singer with another
song to share, another regional treasure grove to explore,
another curious old instrument to master.

Jo Mann Torpy '30 helps dispense history and bicentennial
mementoes as a volunteer at Alexandria's Bicentennial
Museum and Gift Shop in Virginia. "Alexandria is one
of the first cities to open a Bicentennial headquarters
and our celebration will run five years. We have dis-

other states) have come to buy material for their class-

other button is owned by a man in New Jersey who is
an expert on Revolutionary War Buttons.) "The Smith-
sonian has asked me to donate it. but owning it is for
me my own personal bicentennial celebration." The
button had rattled in a shoebox in the Stanfield home
for as long as Elizabeth can remember, and it was just
by chance that she decided to trace its history. She
found treasures ot a different sort among the Confed-
erate letters of her father's family. One is a political
broadside by Albert Rike of Arkansas.

Biltmore Special
Ruth George Sheehan '50, producer of TV's NOW show,
has prepared a thirty-minute special on the Biltmore
House which will be 'televised on NOW May 5 at 7:30
p.m. and May 7 at 3 p.m. with an additional showing
at 8:30 p.m. May 10. "While the estate does not go
back to 1776, we feel this eighty-some year old "dream'
house is an example of the preservation of the good of
our ancestors for the benefit of now and future genera-
tions," Ruth says. "Included will be the entire estate —
farms, gardens, dairy, forests, etc. Wonder if you know
the first School of Forestry began there?" In addition,
Ruth has worked with the Museum of Archives and His-

tory on a series of programs on "North Carolina Silver-
smiths," "200 Years of Fashion," "Historic Halifax," "Tar
Heel Junior Historians" and "Museum of History Asso-
ciates."

Revolutionary Writers

Barbara Mitchell Parramore '54 has prepared with her
husband, Tom, a research study unit on North Carolina
in the Revolutionary Era. Sponsored by the Department
of Public Instruction and the North Carolina Bicentennial
Commission, it has been distributed to eighth and ninth
grade social studies teachers across the state. The Parra-
mores, who speak frequently on the Revolutionary period
in the state and region, have collaborated on other his-
tory-writing projects. Barbara recently was named head
of NCSU's Department ol Curriculum and Instruction;
Tom is on the history faculty at Meredith College.

Jamestown Journalists

Jane Joyce Wade '68 md Joanne Barnes Mann '67, two
English majors, are editing The Fanner's Advocate, a
newsletter published tor the Historic Jamestown (N.C.)
Society. The Advocate takes its name from a general
interest newspaper published in Jamestown during the
early ISOO's. Today's Advocate, published "sporadically
but enthusiastically," features historical anecdotes of local
interest as well as current news of the society. Head-
quarters is Jamestown's Potter House, locale of the Guil-
ford County Bicentennial Commission. Among others
who toil in behalf of the historic newspaper is Annie
Laura Blackwelder Perdue '63, who types much of the
copy for printing.

Women of Guilford

Roxie Nicholson Hobson '74 and Kitty Marsh Montgom-
ery "58 have made substantial contributions to a book.
Women of Guilford, which will be published by the
Greensboro Commission on the Status of Women in
the fall. Kitty, a High Point artist, designed the attrac-
tive cover and Roxie, coordinator of UNC-G's Wom-
en's Studies Program, is doing the research on 21
women who have contributed to the development of
Guilford County. Women of the Revolutionary period
will be included along with leaders in religion, the arts,
education, civil rights, social services, government and
politics, business, law, medicine, humanitarian efforts
and community leadership. Louise Alexander and the
late Harriet Elliott, both of whom served UNC-G many
years, are among the women to be featured.

Pam Smith 75 reports on

Honor Policy Reviewed

UNC-G, like colleges and universities across the country,
is currently questioning the effectiveness of its honor code
in maintaining academic integrity. "Responsible freedom"
was Harriet Elliott's by-word, first promulgated by a
young Student Government Associatio7i in 1915. Through
the years it has been the basis of the University's honor
system. As both faculty and students have changed, there
has been a recent awareness of increasing violations and
a determination to do something about it.

Cheating on exams, falsification of field or lab work data,
misuse of the library, plagiarism, use of mail-order re-
search — these are some of the academic violations which
resulted in a revaluation of UXC-G's honor policy this
year.

It was a little oxer a year ago that the Faculty Council
withdrew support of the honor policy and requested
that Chancellor James Ferguson set up a student-faculty
ad hoc committee to find the best ways to uphold aca-
demic integrity on campus. Although the committee,
chaired by Dr. Walter Puterbaugh, will not make its
official report until the end of spring semester, indica-
tions are that the honor policy, with certain modifications,
will be reinstated.

While the honor policy may have been effective in
the past, it has recently fallen into disuse. At the same
time, competition for acceptance into graduate and pro-
fessional schools has become more intense, increasing
the desirability for undergraduates to earn high grades.
Academically disadvantaged students are also being ad-
mitted and more students are transferring from schools
operating under different codes of academic integrity.
As a result, the number of violations has increased, but
considering the university's growth, there lias been no
significant change in the percentage of reported vio-
lations. (This year nine cases involving cheating and
plagiarism wen- upheld.) ft is difficult, however, to com-
pare the number of reported violations over an extended
period because once a student has served his penalty,
the records are destroyed.

According to Dr. Puterbaugh, the major complaint
that the faculty had witli the honor policy as it previously
existed was the manner in which reported violations were
handled by the student judiciary system. Inexperienced
court members and a backlog of cases often prevented
due process. Some cases were dismissed due to tech-
nicalities. According to Vice Chancellor of Student
Affairs Jim Allen, the attitude of many court members
was also irritating to the faculty. Xot only did they

place the adversary role on the person reporting the
violation, but many felt that cheating did not call for
serious consideration since cheaters only hurt themselves.

Judiciary System Changed

At the same time the Faculty Council was proposing
its resolution, the Student Government Association was
revamping its judiciary system. In this sense, reports
S.G.A. Attorney General Donna Benson, the students
withdrew their support of the honor policy long before
the faculty. Cases are now tried by one of three courts:
Dorm, University, and Supreme. There are standard
procedures for entering pleas, and penalties have been
given a new hierarchy. But the new system has not been
fully implemented. According to Donna Benson, the
Chancellor has approved the operational aspects, but is
awaiting the ad hoc committee report for a final evalua-
tion. (The old Honor Policy still exists in the Handbook.)

A new judicial policy cannot change the attitude most
students have about the seriousness of academic vio-
lations. Many have criticized the honor policy as a weak
attempt to instill values in a group too old to change.
They cite the students" unwillingness to report observed
violations as a prime example of ineffectiveness. Accord-
ing to a survey (sec below), only 42 per cent of graduates
and 31 per cent of undergraduates would "always"' report
cheating. To many students, reporting violations means
"ratting"' on their friends. But others, who are concerned
about academic integrity, want to change the prevailing
attitude. They point out that one cheater hurts the
entire class by upsetting grade distributions. Their feel-
ings were echoed in a Carolinian editorial by Pam Black-
burn: "We feel angry with the cheaters not onlv because

The ad hoc committee, appointed by the Chancellor
to study UNC-G's honor policy, conducted a survey of
faculty and students (1,100 undergraduates and gradu-
ates). The results showed;

• 63 percent of the faculty and 39 percent of the
students felt that the old honor policy was in-
adequate.

• 43 percent of the faculty and 54 percent of the
students felt it could be salvaged.

• 40 percent of the faculty and 26 percent of the
students felt that a new approach, which would
most likely require proctoring of examinations,
should be introduced.

"Responsible Freedom," the key to our total way of
life, is the spirit that strengthens the Honor Policy;
and because the personal honor of the individual is
the sole foundation of the Honor Policy, each in-
dividual is responsible for its effectiveness. ... A
student must report himself/herself for any violation;
a student must encourage an offender to report him-
self/herself; upon the offender's failure to do so, the
student may then report the offender. (From The Student
Handbook for 1975-76.)

they cheat honest students by destroying fair compe-
tition, but because the dishonest attitudes they have will
carry over into lite after they obtain their bogus degrees."

Trust Not Law

Dr. Warren Ashby, who introduced the resolution
to withdraw support, says "Many students have great
moral sensitivity and respond to trust when they refuse
law." Dr. Ashby introduced the resolution because aca-
demic integrity was being taken so lightly that he felt
only drastic action could correct the situation. He be-
lieves that the honor policy can work if it receives full
support from the university community. "What we need
is a shared sense of pride in the university by both stu-
dents and faculty. We have become so large that the
faculty is becoming departmentalized and no one knows
what the students are doing."

Dr. Ashby feels that emphasizing the students' indi-
vidual responsibility and giving them freedom of choice
in reporting violations may be more effective in gaining
enforcement of the policy than making it their legal
responsibility to do so. Dr. Puterbaugh tends to agree.
"The honor policy can be just as effective as a proctoring
system," he said. "We will always have a few students
who cheat on exams. The emphasis of any system should
be placed on preventing cheating, not on how to catch
those who do."

Should the committee suggest that the Faculty Coun-
cil reinstate the honor policy, this is the point it will
stress. The best way to uphold integrity is to create
an academic environment where cheating is least likely
to occur. The faculty must take it upon itself to show
strong public support of the modified policy and must
demonstrate academic integrity in their own behavior.

As a constant reminder that the honor policy exists
and has the university's support, students may be re-
quired to sign a pledge on all exams and papers stating
that they have neither given nor received help. Students
should not be required to report observed violations, but
their moral responsibility to make the policy work will
be emphasized. Physical conditions for administering
exams must be improved so that students will be seated
in such a way as to minimize the temptation to violate
the policy. Where exams must be given in less than
ideal conditions or where there is some reason to suspect
that academic integrity is not being maintained, the
instructor should have the option to proctor if he has
clearly stated his intentions to the class. In all cases,

the faculty will be encouraged to be available to stu-
dents during exams in a supervisory or consulting role.

In its report, the ad hoc committee will also recom-
mend procedures for handling suspected violations.
According to the survey, 66 per cent of the faculty and
67 per cent of tin1 students feel the instructor should
have the right to handle privately cases involving aca-
demic integrity in his classes. The committee is inclined
to sanction such a policy provided an appeal channel is
available to those students who disagree with the in-
structor's assessment.

An Administrative Center

Another concern is that students may admit guilt
simply to keep the matter off the record, or that some
instructors will assign harsher penalties than others for
similar offenses. One proposal to remedy this situation
is to report all cases to an appropriate administrative
office. The committee anticipates a standardized form
to be filled out by either the instructor or the head of
the hearing body reporting the nature of the offense.
It would report the penalty assigned and the agreement
by the instructor and the student. The administrative
office will then review all eases for consistency in assign-
ing penalties and keep the matter on file until the penalty
is served. The committee will also provide guidelines
to help assess penalties for different offenses. In most
cases these will involve some type of grade penalty and
a probationary period.

A final matter of business before the committee is
the nature' of the hearing body. Over 50 per cent of
those surveyed believe that cases should be heard by
both students and faculty. The committee has consid-
ered recommending that faculty members be added to
the student court when hearing cases involving academic
integrity. Another option would be to appoint a pool
of faculty and students from which a select number
could be drawn to constitute a student-faculty com-
mittee for each specific case.

The Faculty Council is expected to consider the
committee's report as its first order of business next
September. The committee is optimistic that its report
will correctly assess the current situation and offer
realistic guidelines for improvement. But as committee
member Dr. Marian Solleder observes, "The one com-
ment the committee has heard over and over from stu-
dents and faculty is 'No system will work unless we
work at it.' "

Campus Cartoonist

by Pam Smith '75

In the last four years, Jim Mazzotta has caused more
controversy through his cartoons in The Carolinian
than any other staff writer. No subject is too sacred for
the self-confessed cynic; he attacks campus life, politics,
religion, death and even motherhood. He never plays
along the periphery but goes straight to the center of
every issue, communicating one bold idea that often
needs no caption. Generally his work is well received
by his UNC-G audience, with many admitting it's the
first thing they turn to in the student newspaper. But
there are times when his sting comes too close to home.
Then the letters flood the editor's office.

"There is no place for innocence in an editorial car-
toon," says the senior art major from Wildwood, New
Jersey. "People turn to the funny paper for diversion,
hut the purpose of an editorial cartoon is to point out
some truth. I like to receive letters criticizing the ideas
depicted in my cartoons. That means I've hit a nerve
and made my point. People want to believe things are
a certain way, and when a cartoonist distorts their belief,
he upsets them regardless of the truth of the belief in
the first place. But when someone criticizes my style
of drawing — well, that bothers me."

For Jim, who also enjoys realistic painting and lithog-
raphy, cartooning is a serious art form. "Look at Goya
and Daumier, whose paintings are grotesque and eartoon-
like, and there's Hogarth, who achieved so much fame
in thi" eighteenth century. One of my professors said
my work resembles Beardsley's, whose late nineteenth
century pen and ink drawings arc halt cartoon, half
realistic."

Jim has been sketching ever since he can remember.
His first pen and ink caricature was of Abraham Lincoln
which he drew in his first grade art class. In his car-
toons, Jim strives for an individual artistic style. "I con-
centrate on the quality of my drawing and the compo-
sition of each cartoon as much as I do on finding an
original approach to an issue. Depending on the time
I have, a cartoon can have a limitless number of em-
bellishments and details."

Jim's style has gained him some degree of fame. In
1972, the president of the Association of American Edi-
torial Cartoonists, Hy Bosen of the Albany Times-Union,
selected one of his works for a second place national
award in the Higgins Best Editorial Cartoon Contest.

Whether painting or drawing cartoons, Jim likes to
communicate ideas through his art. "I don't want to
draw pretty pictures which have no meaning." Two of
his favorite contemporary artists are surrealists Bene
Margritte and M. C. Escher, both of whom deal with
different levels of ideas in one composition. "In some
ways a cartoon is a shorthand notation of a painting.
Since it is black and white, a cartoon can have a lot

of impact. I know some artists will disagree with me,
but I think it's hard to get that same impact in a
painting."

When drawing cartoon characters, Jim accentuates
the round parts of the body. "I do this because I believe
that most people, especially the ones I characterize, are
basically sloppy in their thinking. When I make a char-
acter physically sloppy, it implies that his mental
processes aren't far behind. You can't achieve this with
a skinny character because he looks ill and that's not
funny. But fatness indicates hedonistic qualities."

Why does Jim perch his characters' huge bodies on
long skinny legs which taper into tiny feet? The arms
are equally thin with taloned fingers extending from
grotesquely small hands. "I use this device as a trade-
mark for my cartoons. It not only produces a character
immediately recognizable, but also distinguishes my work
from that of other cartoonists." The overall effect of a
Mazzotta cartoon is that of a delicate balance. The
prissy, obese characters try so hard to remain poised,
yet they look as though they will topple over at any
second. "Several people have told me they like my
work because I always find a ludicrous element in a
given situation. But the trick to life is not to see the
ludicrous, because it's all around us."

Two of Jim's recurring characters are the fat UNC-G
female and the campus cop. "I don't have anybody
particular in mind when I draw these characters, but
the results are pretty successful. The fat coed irritates
most of the girls, but that's because they recognize
themselves. Most of the guys seemed pleased with these
cartoons. I like to draw cops because everybody's
against them. When there is general distaste for a
subject, people like cartoons, but if the criticism is
directed back at them, they don't like them."

Political figures are a frequent target, but Jim has
a complaint. "Just when I was really learning how to
draw President Nixon, he resigned. President Ford's
head reminds me of a coconut — he is almost featureless."

Jim has applied for graduate study in lithography at
several universities. He would, however, prefer to delay
graduate school for a while and work for a newspaper. He
has sent examples of his work to several newspapers but
has run into hiring freezes or newspapers which use
syndicated cartoons and shy away from local talent.
"One newspaper man told me that cartoonists are luxury
items which most newspapers can't work into the budg-
et," he said. "I'm beginning to think you really have to
know someone on the 'inside' to get a job."

Still Jim hopes to be a professional editorial car-
toonist some day. In this way, he would not only be
communicating ideas in his daily work but would have
time to devote to other art projects.

Judicious Blueprint

Susie Marshall Sharp, 68, the only
woman chief justice of a state su-
preme court, has been a trail blazer
since Bella Abzug was a little girl.
"Women lawyers aren't a curiosity
any more, but I was a curiosity in
my little town," says the woman from
Rocky Mount, NX.* In 1926 she
was the only woman in her class at
the University of North Carolina
Law School. In 1949 she was ap-

pointed the first woman special judge
on the state's superior court, where
her reputation as both a compassion-
ate jurist and an incisive legal scholar
endeared her to voters. In 1962 they
elected her the first woman associate
justice on the state supreme court
and in 1974 they promoted her to
chief justice. . . .

"One of the finest compliments I
ever got," says Sharp, "was when a
lawyer was asked how it felt to ap-
pear before a woman judge, and he
replied, 'I have not been conscious

of appearing before a woman
judge.* " Sharp, who has remained
single, is wary of trying to balance
marriage and a career. "The trouble
comes when a woman tries to be too
main- things at one time: a wife, a
mother, a career woman, a femme
fatale. That's when the psychiatrist
is called in at umpteen dollars an
hour. A woman has got to draw up
a blueprint. She has got to budget
her life." El

"The above story is from TIME, January
5. 1976, but the reporter erred on several
points. The errors came to light when her
hometown paper, the Reidsville Review,
took Judge Sharp to task for not claiming
Reidsville as her hometown. In a letter
replying to the charge, Judge Sharp wrote:

"Although I was born in Rocky Mount,
I left there at age three months. Rocky
Mount is a fine town, but I grew up in
Reidsville, practiced law there for 20 years,
and it remains my home. Not to have been
identified with Reidsville on this occasion
marred my pleasure in the event. I am very
proud of my hometown, and it has been
good to me."

RISD President

Tradition and innovation were com-
bined November 18 in the installa-
tion of Dr. Lee Hall '56 as fifth presi-
dent of the Rhode Island School of
Design. The tradition was there in
the academic procession and the in-
augural ceremony which took place
in the simple splendor of Roger Wil-
liams' ISth century church. The
innovation was in the one hundred
huge banners, four by six feet, de-
signed and carried by RISD stu-
dents who lined both sides of Water-
man Street as the academic proces-
sion passed.

An eye witness to the occasion
was Emily Balchin Huntley, an
alumni of' RISD ('48) and UNC-G
(MFA '67). Emily, a Greensboro
artist who has a studio in Guilford
College, Hew to her home in Rhode

Island for the inauguration. She
described the atmosphere ". . . like a
carnival and festival . . . like Palio
Day in Vienna."

Lee as RISD's first woman presi-
dent is no token, according to news-
paper accounts of her appointment.
She was the choice of an enthusiastic
committee that had arduously nar-
row t'd a field of 110 candidates to
nine. She was dean at SUNY in
Purchase, New York, when she came
to the attention of the selection com-
mittee and was invited to Providence
for an interview. Then it was her
triple credentials — scholar, artist and
administrator — that impressed her
peers in her behalf.

In an inaugural greeting, Jacque-
lyn Mattsfield, president-elect of
Barnard College, said "Were Lee
Hall male, the evidence of such ver-
satility, so many gifts, and such hu-
manity combined in a simple being
would have led the press to tout her
as a true Renaissance Man."

After Lee's graduation from Wom-
an's College, she earned a Master of
Arts degree, later a PhD in philos-
ophy and the theory of art from New
York University. She taught at SUNY
(Potsdam) and at Keuka College in
New York state and at Winthrop in
South Carolina before her appoint-
ment to head the Drew University
art department.

At Drew she took time for ad-
vanced studies at Warburg Institute,
the University of London, at the
British Museum and at Oxford. At
the same time she broadened the
Drew program in art, according to
the newspaper interview. "Drew is
in the New York City orbit, and Hall,
with her winning ways and enormous
energy 'haunted New York,' brought
artists to Drew, took students into
New York, and began moving in im-
pressive company herself: Harold

14

Rosenberg, art critic for the New
Yorker magazine, gallery owner Betty
Parsons (who came to the celebra-
tion), and Elaine deKooning, the por-
trait artist."

Lee continued to paint. A one-
woman exhibition at the Betty Par-
sons Gallery in New York is the
latest in a number of New York
exhibitions which date back to the
Forum Gallery in 195S. Her work
is included in the Montclair Art
Museum, the Hudson River Museum,
the Greenville (S.C.) Museum and
UNC-G's Weatherspoon Gallery.

She is not only a painter in the
academic world but an author and
critic. Her writings on art history
include articles and book reviews
for publications such as the Ameri-
can Philosophical Society yearbook.
Collier's Encyclopedia, Arts maga-
zine. Choice, and Craft Horizons
magazine. She has also written mu-
seum catalogues for the Everson
Museum, Syracuse, New York, and
the Montclair Art Museum. Current-
ly she is preparing a photographic
survey of art and architecture of
Romanesque pilgrimage churches in
France.

Lady Legislator

Lucille Darvin Maurer '42 was four-
teen when she first saw Frances
Perkins, then Secretary of Labor and
first woman Cabinet member.

"Frances Perkins arrived (replete
with trieornered hat) in our small
town in New York state to make a
political speech in behalf of Franklin
D. Roosevelt. I recall my sense of
amazement that a woman could
manage such a responsible role in
public life."

Today Lucille Maurer might be
the object of amazement herself. A
candidate for Congress from Mary-

land's eighth district, she was twice
elected to the Maryland legislature.
Her grasp of matters fiscal and legis-
lative and her championship of the
causes of education and child pro-
tection add an extra dimension to
her achievements on both state and
national levels.

Lucille recalled her early im-
pression of Frances Perkins in a
speech on "\on-Traditional Occu-
pations" which she delivered re-
cently in Washington, D. C. The
occasion was a Women of the Hemi-
sphere meeting.

Lucy attended Woman's College
two years, then transferred to Chapel
Hill for an undergraduate degree in
economics. She says she never in-
tended to seek a career, especially
one in politics, although politics was
very much a part of campus life both
in Greensboro and Chapel Hill. She
broadened her economic base in a
multi-disciplinary program at Yale
where she received a masters before
marriage to her lawyer-husband, Ely.

Looking back on those years, she
regards her work in social psy-
chology, anthropology, and related
sources as very useful now "as I try
to fit the pieces together legisla-
tively."

She believes much of her own
work has been possible because of
a supportive family — Ely and their
three sons. Her husband is a lawyer
on the State Department staff. One
son is a mathematician, another in
Harvard Medical School and a third
in the Columbia's School of Law.

During the late Forties and Fifties,
while her three sons were young,
Lucy worked with the League of
Women Voters. In 1960, she was
drafted to run for the Montgomery
school board. At first, she found
campaigning in a county of 500
square miles with over 300,000 resi-

dents an unnerving experience, but
she survived to win and win again.
After eight years on the board, she
"retired," planning to spend the win-
ter "catching up with house and
friends."

She had barely emptied her brief-
case when she was named to a va-
cancy in the House of Delegates, the
eighth woman in a 142-member
body. Re-elected twice, she has be-
come an influential force in the state,
assuming a leadership role which put
her in the position of helping shape
policy.

But Lucv Maurer does not view
influence itself as a non-traditional
female role. She sees the leadership
aspect of her role as the real break-
through. "There has been a feeling
that women couldn't command the
respect of tough politicians (male)
and that decisions are best made over
drinks or what have you. This is
changing as women assume commit-
tee chairmanships and appointments
to commissions and participate in
important policy decisions about
running the legislature itself."

She has participated in some na-
tional committees established by the
Education Commission of the States.
"It was my good fortune to have
served on the Commission's Task
Force on the Coordination of Post-
secondary Education, which was
chaired by Governor Robert Scott.
Both of us have been named to the
Board of the Council on Postsecond-
ary Accreditation (the umbrella or-
ganization which accredits accredit-
ing groups).

She acknowledges, "Many women
still haven't found a way to combine
career and family comfortably. But
I hope that the area of elective office
lor women will soon be classified in
a 'traditional' rather than a 'non-
traditional' category."

Peace Corps Grandmother

Julia Watson Maulden .33, mother of four
and grandmother of six, spent a year
teaching in Zaire with the Peace Corps.
It was a unique experience, and one which
did not end with her return to her home
in Davidson last fall. Her contacts con-
tinue, especially with her former students.
In addition to letters, she has mailed
dictionaries, anthologies and Bibles to
Zaire and persuaded two publishers of
dictionaries to donate fifty volumes as
well. This summer Emmanuel Bango, one
of her most promising pupils, will arrive
to spend the summer with Julia prior
to entering Davidson College in the fall.
Xext year, "God willing, and the creeks
don't rise," she hopes to return to Zaire
for a visit.

Dawn glistens about 6:15 on the
grasses of the equator in central
Africa; twilight descends about
twelve hours later, year round. How
do I know? Because I was there for
a year. At the hours indicated, I was
usually exiting or entering my
apartment as part of the daily
work cycle.

What was the mother of four,
grandmother of six, born and bred
in the briar patch of North Carolina,
doing on the equator? Teaching in
the Peace Corps, that's what ... on
the Kisangani campus of the
National University of Zaire
( UN AZA ) . My assignment? First
semester, a methods course (Teach-
ing English as a Foreign Language ) ;
second semester, setting up and
supervising, in four widely-dispersed
secondary schools, the practice-
teaching of twenty-five aspiring
young English teachers. All male.
All ambitious, bright, personable.
Aged twenty-three to forty-three,
half of them married with families.

Peace Corps personnel in Zaire
are a hardy breed. Working under
the premise that nothing is impos-
sible, they strive mightily every

year to prepare a heterogeneous
collection of volunteers to be second-
ary (occasionally university) school-
teachers. Agricultural, health, and
road construction workers are also
specially trained, but teachers out-
number all other groups. I was
the oldest of about eighty recruits to
leave the United States on July 2,
1974, headed for the "Stage" ( train-
ing session) in the western hill-city
of Bukavu in Zaire, the former
Belgian Congo. (Note: the country,
the river, and the monetary unit are
all called Zaire. "Vive les trois
zeds!" is the popular cry.)

Because of Bukavu's elevation
and generally mountainous terrain,
the dry season (winter) in July-
August was cool-to-cold. We slept
with two wool blankets on top and
one underneath for the two and a
half months of training. From early
morning until late at night, we were
saturated with French, official
language of Zaire. ( Four of the 200
native languages are semi-official:
Swahili, Lingala, Tshiluba and
Kikongo. ) Classes began at 8 a.m.,
and often continued until 10 p.m.

Four of us with graduate degrees
were picked to fill university posts.
( My masters degree in Education,
obtained for my own pleasure in
1971, was in Early Childhood
Education! ) A Missouri farm boy
and I were sent to Kisangani, in the
heart of the equatorial rain forest,
two degrees north of the equator.
Formerly known as Stanleyville,
Kisangani is sprawled along both
sides of the Zaire River, 800 miles
from Kinshasa ( Leopoldville), the
capitol. In its heyday the town
must have been beautiful. The
battered remnants of once-majestic
stucco homes still retain an air of
grandeur, in spite of crumbling
masonry. The population is made

16

up of 235,000 people; mostly blacks,
who live in thatehed-roofed, mud-
walled homes outside the central
city. It was here, in 1964, that the
bloody Simba rebellion was cen-
tered, here that thousands of trapped
foreigners were air-lifted out.

The ever-present Market occupies
a dusty square block just oft the
main thoroughfare. Seven days a
week it offers its varied, colorful
wares to the milling crowds: eggs,
chickens, freshly-butchered beef and
pork, palm oil, peanuts, cassava
roots and leaves, fruits, vegetables,
clothing, dishes, hardware, dime-
store paraphernalia, tailoring
services, baskets. The prices range
from modest ( bananas at less than
1 cent each ) to outrageous ( sugar
at 800 per pound. ) Perishable
items, indeed most items that are in
fairly good supply, can be bargained
down from the original asking
price. "Merchandiser" is regarded
as a game where buyer and seller
try to outdo the other before finally
agreeing on a price.

My living quarters were modern,
comfortable and, at the end of
several months, attractive. The
kitchen had a tiny electric stove and
equally miniscule refrigerator. The
bathroom was spacious — in fact,
the same size as the bedroom.
Running water was available about
seventy-five percent of the time.
There was a nearby spring from
which we could haul it in buckets
during the days when the pump
motor was "en panne." A large
living-dining room completed my
apartment, one of fifty-four in a
complex owned and operated by
the University. Fifteen-foot ceilings
and the cross-ventilation supplied
by large, iron-barred windows, kept
me cool and comfortable.

Every Sunday morning found me

at worship services, usually at the
beautiful old brick-floored Baptist
Church beside the big river. Services
were conducted in Lingala; on
special occasions they were in
French. Christianity is one of many
religious faiths known and prac-
ticed in Zaire.

President Mobutu Sese Seko, for
whom the term benevolent despot
might fittingly be used, visited both
Bukavu and Kisangani during my
stay in these respective cities. He is
an intelligent, articulate head of
state, more respected than loved.
He presides over a one-party govern-
ment which he describes as "modeled
upon the teachings of Jesus Christ
and Mao-tse Tung." In the ten
years since he seized power in 1965,
lie has stabilized the country by
ruling witli an iron hand. In a land
where 200 different tribes speak
almost as many languages, he is
trying to build a unified nation.

Statistics say that the average
annual income in Zaire is S75, and
that seventy-five percent of all
children die before reaching the age
of fourteen. Though education is
open to all, only twenty-five percent
of those who start school finish the
sixth grade. Few girl children make
it through high school and into
college. All who successfully run
the gauntlet of state-monitored
secondary school exams are given a
scholarship for college studies. Only
a fraction ever reach this level but
those who do are superior on all
counts, as I learned from personal
experience.

My job at UNAZA was unique in
that no one ever held it before.
Loneliness was my nemesis. There
were no truly kindred spirits with
whom to share anything. I had
hoped that a university campus
would be the focal point of at least

Peace Corps teacher Julia Watson Maulden.
a minimal amount of cultural
activities. Barren hope. The Zairois
and foreign faculty members were
polite but distant. A warm and
trusting relationship with my stu-
dents developed slowly, but out-of-
class contacts were impossible
because of the distances which
separated our homes and the lack
of transportation.

To shorten a long story: It was
basically a feeling of being poorly
prepared professionally that brought
me home a year earlier than planned.
Transformational linguistics, all
unknown to me in the generation
I was out of the classroom, had
revolutionized the teaching of
English, especially the teaching of
English as a foreign language. Not
only was I struggling daily to cope
with a strange culture; I was fran-
tically seeking resources to help me
cope with an unfamiliar vocabulary
and methodology in teaching my
own language. By the grace of God
and the American Cultural Center,
where I found several priceless
books, I formulated a methods
course. From this, six excellent
teachers were produced; also six or
eight good ones, the same number
of mediocre ones, and a handful of
poor ones. Their natural talents
contributed much. Even the poorest
one worked indefatigably.

It was a tremendous year. There
is a whole new dimension to life
through my twenty-five Zairian
"sons." They write guardedly of
their tribulations in being moved
from our program at Kisangani to
Kinshasa. They are hoping for my
return to witness their triumphant
conclusion to five arduous years of
study when, in July of 1977, they
receive the "Licence" degree.

Commencement

For the third time in a row, UNC-G's
commencement speaker will be a
woman. Martha W. Griffiths, former
congresswoman from Michigan's
17th district, will address the 84th
graduating class at Greensboro
Coliseum on Sunday, May 9, at
11 a.m.

Journalist Bonnie Angelo's
appearance last year marked the
first time an alumna had addressed
the graduating body. Duke professor
Juanita Kreps' appearance the
previous year was the first time in
55 years that a woman had served as
commencement speaker. (Mrs. Helen
Guthrie Miller, first vice president
of the National American Woman's
Suffrage Movement, was first
woman commencement speaker in
June 1917. Noted suffragist Anna
Howard Shaw was the second in
1919.)

Mrs. Griffiths, a lawyer who
served in the House from 1955-1975,
sponsored the Equal Rights Amend-
ment to the Constitution and guided
it through the House during
the 91st Congress. She and alumna
Susie Sharp (see "Alumni Achievers"
in this issue) were among the few
women considered by President
Ford for appointment to the United
States Supreme Court.

A VINTAGE CROP: Charles Manley, left,
and Edward G. Smith, will attend Harvard
Graduate School on fellowships next fall.

A Vintage Crop

Harvard, Princeton, U.C.L.A.? It
was a hard decision for Seniors
Charles Manley and Ed Smith, who
received generous scholarship offers
for graduate studies from all three
institutions this year. The two
Greensboro natives finally accepted
tuition scholarships from Harvard
with accompanying graduate teach-
ing fellowships. The awards place
the two in a four-year doctoral
degree program in the country's top
chemistry department.

Charles and Ed, whose grade
averages in chemistry soar above
3.8, have been involved in research
projects since their freshman year
and have co-authored several publi-
cations with faculty members.
Besides chemistry, the two enjoy
tennis and a variety of other sports.

Charles, who is also a musician
(clarinet and classical piano),
received two earlier honors: a
Student Excellence Award last year
and the Chemistry Department's
Henry L. Anderson Memorial
Scholarship this year.

According to Chemistry Depart-
ment chairman Walter Puterbaugh,
the scholars are two among an

exceptional class of 14 chemistry
majors whom he describes as a
"vintage crop." Among the others
he expects to pursue graduate study
on fellowships is Martha Russ of
Danville, Virginia, who has accepted
an assistantship at the University
of South Carolina.

The Right To Review

Less than sixty UNC-G students
have made use of last year's Buckley
Act which permits students to
review their academic records. And
most students are disappointed
with what they find, according to
Bert Goldman, Dean of Academic
Advising. "There's no secret infor-
mation in the files. Most of them
leave feeling, 'Gee, I didn't find
anything I didn't already know.' "

To see his records, a student must
make an appointment with either
Dean Goldman or Assistant Dean
Dorothy Scott Darnell '44. Curiosity
about IQ scores, which may be on
high school transcripts, prompts
many students to make the appoint-
ment. The student sees all other
academic records except confidential
statements written before 1974.
(Since that time, persons writing
evaluations for the file are informed
that students may view their state-
ments.) Students are then given a
list of items withheld and asked to
sign a slip stating that he has seen
the file.

Included in student records are
admissions applications and accom-
panying evaluations, grades, change
of major forms, informal conference
notes and other academic trans-
actions. There are no complaints
from the faculty or unsolicited
evaluations. After graduation, all
incidental information (including
unsatisfactory grade notices, class

18

attendance records, etc.) are
purged from the file which is then
stored in the Registrar's Office.

UNC-G's policy regarding student
records has changed little because
of the Buckley Act. In the past,
specific items would have been
shown to any student upon request.
"A chief benefit of the act," says
Dean Goldman, "is that students
see that there's nothing in the file
to haunt them." Many had not
realized that only the grade tran-
script is forwarded to other institu-
tions and then only at the student's
request.

Gradeflation

"Gradeflation" is a new word,
describing a recent trend toward
higher grades in U. S. colleges and
universities. It is a national prob-
lem which is reflected on the UNC-G
campus; to what extent a special
study committee of the Academic
Cabinet has been appointed to find
out.

A look at grades for the last
decade certainly shows they have
risen. Grades for all UNC-G classes
increased in the eight years between
1964 and 1972. In the' past four
years grades for juniors and seniors
have declined while grades for
freshmen and sophomores have
begun to drop this year.

Possible reasons fall into two
categories, according to Dr. Herbert
Wells, assistant to the Vice Chan-
cellor for Academic Affairs. The
first involves various structural or
technical changes. For example, a
liberal drop policy, which allows a
student to withdraw from a course
which he is passing, permits him to
eliminate lower grades, leaving the
average of remaining grades higher.

The pass/not pass grade option
might have the same effect, but
there are many more withdrawal
grades than pass/not pass.

So far as substantive factors are
concerned, there is no evidence that
faculty standards for assigning
grades have changed, nor that
students are simply learning more
and thereby earning higher grades.

There are other structural changes
which might have had an effect,
such as the Special Senices Project
(a tutoring-counseling service). Also,
the change in University Curriculum
Requirements allows greater flexi-
bility for students in the choice of
"general education" requirements.

But Dr. Wells observed that
probably in no other profession
does "being better" arouse such
concern. "If MGM received more
Academy Awards or Swift Packing

mann received top honors and an $800

end of the three-city effort, the record showed $12,894.32 had been pledged by 988
alumni. A total of 718 alumni promised "to consider" pledging. Most encouraging was
the number of alumni (251) who pledged who had never given before.

Pedestrian Predicament

Parking isn't the only aspect of
traffic that is a big problem on the
UNC-G campus. Pedestrian safety
is of equal concern, especially to
Jean Hunt, a senior from Greensboro,
who lives on campus.

The particularly hazardous con-
ditions in crossing Spring Garden
Street were a first concern. When
Jean approached Newton Beck, who
took over as Director of Security
Services in October, she found a
sympathetic ear. Although new to
campus. Director Beck rightly
surmised that the problem would
not diminish.

Working with Jean and the
Greensboro traffic division, he found
that Spring Garden Street has the
heaviest pedestrian flow in the city.
Furthermore, a check made last
summer showed that the two lanes
of traffic bore 12,300 cars daily in
front of Curry and Graham class-
room buildings. This number is
second only to West Market Street,
a four and sometimes six-lane
thoroughfare, which carries 15,000
cars in an average day.

Since Spring Garden is not within
campus jurisdiction, changes affect-
ing traffic flow had to be coordinated
with the city's traffic engineer. As
an immediate aid. a campus police
officer was stationed in front of
Curry during class changes to
enforce the pedestrian right-of-way.
The traffic engineer synchronized
the Highland traffic light with the
crosswalk light where most students
cross to Graham. The city also
placed a crosswalk below Graham
at the Spring Garden and Tate
intersection, and two crosswalks on
Mclver Street in front of the Nursing
and Life Sciences Buildings.

Proceedings are underway to give

the University jurisdiction over all
city streets within the campus as
bounded by Aycock. West Market,
Tate and Oakland. In the mean-
time, Mr. Beck is planning "Yield
to Pedestrian" signs and yellow hash
marks on Gray Drive, College
Avenue, North Drive and the Old
Administration Drive below Foust.

A Handy Man Retires

James Fruster has served three
decades of UNC-G dorm residents
as "Mr, Fix-It." He has worked in
the laundry, in Kirkland and
Women's residence halls and has
been a "swing houseman" in prac-
tically every dorm on campus. He
even spent a period driving the
Kiser bus. transporting students
from the campus to the residence
hall at Wesley Long Hospital.

When he retired in December,
after nine years in Reynolds, the
residents did not let his service end
unnoted. They collected sufficient
funds to buy a reclining chair
which was presented during a dorm
gathering prior to Christmas
vacation.

"I'm going to rear back like this
and think about UNC-G," James
said, trying out the chair for size
and giving a demonstration of his
plans. But he may not recline for
long. There's a visit to relatives in
Florida and some fishing he wants to
do. And as James says, "Even in
retirement. I'm still a 'handy man.'"

Muffling Music

The "sound of music" is sweet, but
not when it's a melange of Bach,
Beethoven and Brahms. That's the
consensus in the School of Music
where faculty and students alike
have been bothered by music
filtering from adjoining studios as
they sought to teach and practice.
To remedy the situation, pianist
Joseph DiPiazza tried rugs on the
floor, but they had little effect in
deadening the sound. Then the idea
of blankets was suggested, but this
brought a new problem: where to
find the $800 to purchase them.

Allen Adkins, an executive with
Chatham Blankets, heard of the
School's dilemma through daughter
Cathy, a senior music major. He
came to the rescue with forty-three
blankets, more than enough to
muffle every piano in the Wade
Brown Music Building.

DiPiazza, who joined the music
faculty last year, is reading a series

Cathy Adkins, Hermene Warlick Eichhorn
Scholar, with pianist Joseph DiPiazza.

20

of concerts which he will present in
London and other European cities
come summer. The young pianist is
also a chef of note. He prepared an
Italian dinner, complete from anti-
pasto and minestrone to lasagna and
spumoni, as a prelude to an evening
of Italian arias for patrons of the
School of Music. The occasion was
pronounced a gustatory and auditory
delight by the several hundred
partakers.

A Color Choice

The response has not been significant
to a new rule this year which permits
students to paint their rooms the
color of their choice — within limits.

Thirteen men and twenty-nine
women, forty-two in all, took
advantage of the offer and received
free paint for the job. Students had
to furnish their own paint brush,
however, and the energy to wield it.
Most of the color requests were for
Sun Dance Yellow. Mint Green,
Blue Sky, Aqua Sky and Beige were
also on the list.

Woody Allen Festival

Long lines are common during
registration each semester, but the
ones outside Cone Ballroom January
15-18 were for a different purpose.
That queue was for the Woody
Allen Film Festival, sponsored by
Student Senate and Vetcetera, a
campus organization for armed
service veterans who have returned
to school.

Over 3,000 participated in the
four-day event which featured six
of actor-director Woody Allen's
most popular comedies. Students
gathered several hours before the
films began, and some were actually

turned away on Friday night.

A maximum capacity crowd was
also on hand Thursday afternoon
for beer and jazz at "Sam's Place"
(Elliott Center's balcony dining
room) and to hear excerpts from
Woody 's night club acts. Many
students purchased Woody Allen
Festival tee-shirts designed by
Carolinian cartoonist Jim Mazzotta.
ABA Slater sponsored "make-it-
yourself" banana splits Saturday
night before students viewed
Bananas, and Sunday night Gamma
Sigma Sigma Service Sorority
declared Jim Allen, Vice Chancellor
of Student Affairs, winner of the
Woody Allen Look-Alike Contest.

Woody gathers his strongest
support from college audiences who
identify with his philosophy, drawn
from his Jewish middle-class back-
ground. He creates a comic,
awkward character who considers
himself above average in intelligence
and education, but for some reason
success always eludes him. Much of
his satire of contemporary society
is conveyed in seemingly intelligent
conversations which actually have
no meaning.

SGA on Ice

Students have been learning to ice
skate this semester, compliments of
the Student Government Associa-
tion. President Sean O'Kane has
hosted half a dozen skating parties
at the Piedmont Sports Arena, less
than five miles from campus. By
scheduling parties at the unlikely
hours of 11:30 p.m. to 1 a.m., SGA
has been able to rent the arena and
skates at a rate low enough to
provide free entertainment to
students and faculty.

The skating party was Dave
Paquette's idea. The senior from

Canada works for the campus radio
station. "It started out as a hare-
brained idea among friends," said
Sean, who has been skating since
kindergarten. "Dave and I collected
money from the first party from those
who came, but the response was so
fantastic that Senate decided to
sponsor the others. We've had as
many as 300 participate and have
had to rent a bus to carry students
from campus."

During the first party, the ice
was cleared for a student-faculty
hockey game with Sean and Dave
leading the students. The faculty
team captain was Sean's father, Dr.
Robert O'Kane (Education). Dr.
O'Kane played hockey for the
University of New Hampshire and
was at one time a semi-pro for a
team in Dover, N. H. Chancellor
James Ferguson and Vice Chancellor
of Student Affairs Jim Allen were
among spectators at that match.

Roger Mudd Calls

Fran Ferguson, the Chancellor's
wife, was polishing silver the

answered the door, polishing cloth

"I'm Roger Mudd," the tall,

introduction.

"Yes, I know," Fran replied,
slightly nonplussed.

Then he explained his mission: He
wanted to use her front yard as a
"backdrop" for his news report on
the North Carolina election. "Of
course, I said go right ahead," Fran
said. "He was very attractive . . .

Tar Heels, was education. Page saw great hope for the
future in the improvement of the public schools, which
was going ahead under the spur of Charles Duncan
Mclver and E. A. Alderman, newly appointed president
of the university in Chapel Hill. "I doubt if such an
educational revival was ever known in any other state
. . . ," Page was proud to say. However, North Carolina
was spending less per pupil (83.50 a year) than any
other, except South Carolina.

During Governor Charles B. Aycock's term ( 1901-05),
North Carolina gained widespread recognition for the
flowering of its "educational renaissance" and the ad-
vance of its textile, tobacco and furniture industries. In
1903 Greensboro held a "reunion of non-resident sons
and daughters" to renew their "love and allegiance" and
secure their aid in putting down any scorners or witlings
who might still try to defame her. Among speakers at
the reunion were Aycock, Mclver and Alderman ( at this
time president of Tulane University ) . "I go nowhere.
North or South, that I do not hear praises of North Caro-
lina," Alderman declared. "I do not believe the State
has bulked so largely in the public imagination in the
240 years of its history."

By the 1920's, the university at Chapel Hill had be-
come distinguished not only as a center of intellectual
activity but also as a source of reforming energy. "In
few states," said one reporter, "do the people draw so
directly their vision of the next steps forward from their
institutions of higher learning."

A Reversal of Roles

North Carolina now received more praise than ever
as a forward-moving commonwealth. According to
numerous reports, it was going ahead much faster than
any other state in developing schools, highways and in-
dustries. Tar Heels needed no longer feel inferior ( if
they ever had) when they glanced at Virginia or South
Carolina.

For this reversal of roles, there is a familiar explana-
tion, one that bears the awesome endorsement of Arnold
J. Toynbee. Before Toynbee, others had suggested that
North Carolina amounted to so much after the Civil
War precisely because it had amounted to so little before
the war. Tonybee picked up the idea as a handy illus-
tration of his theory of challenge and response that
people rise or fall and civilizations flourish or decay as

a result of the adequacy or inadequacy of their response
to challenges. One of the things that may interfere with
the response is the worship of the idol of a great past.
Virginia and South Carolina had a past worth wor-
shipping. But "North Carolina, who lost so much less
because she had so little to lose, has found it relatively
easier to recover from a slighter shock."

There are at least two things wrong with applying
Toynbee's theory to North Carolina. First, in the late
1880's North Carolina did not lead but followed South
Carolina in the "impulse toward cotton manufacturing,"
though North Carolina eventually got ahead. Second,
North Carolina had at least as grand a conception of
its earlier role in history as did South Carolina, Virginia
or any other state. Tar Heel boosters never tired of
repeating a long list of claims to historical firsts, promi-
nent among them the first declaration of independence,
the so-called Mecklenburg Declaration of May 20, 1775.
After the Civil War, the people were constantly re-
minded that North Carolina had contributed the most
men to the Confederate army, and when aging veterans
of the "Tar Heel Brigade" convened around the turn
of the century, they wore in their hats a "brag feather"
that recited the familiar claim: "First at Bethel, Fore-
most at Gettysburg, Furthest at Chickamauga and Last
at Appomattox."

Boosters of North Carolina in the 1920's were not
content to compare their state with other states in the
South alone. Professor Howard W. Odum of Chapel
Hill was beginning to believe that North Carolina did
indeed resemble Ohio more than it did Mississippi. It
passed Massachusetts to take first place in textile pro-
duction. It went ahead of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
in population.

Some polishers of North Carolina's image acknowl-
edged that it had a "dark side." With regard to race
relation, they admitted that North Carolina was far
from perfect but insisted that it was considerably better
than any other state in the South. Then in 1930, an
Edgecombe County mob hanged a black man to a pine
tree and riddled his body with buckshot. Such news
was to have been expected from other southern states
but not from North Carolina.

Already North Carolina was getting a much larger

magazine referred to as the "strikes, murders and kid-
nappings at Gastonia, Marion, and elsewhere in the
State." Press eoverage of the labor troubles beginning
in 1919 was thorough. Northern reporters trooped in,
among them novelist Sinclair Lewis, whom the New
York Telegram and the United Features Syndicate hired
for the occasion. According to these reporters. North
Carolina was hardly a millhand's heaven. It seemed,
instead, a land of thin laborers and fat sheriffs.

By 1925, some systematic comparisons of the states
as a whole had begun to appear. A prominent educator,
William C. Bagley, undertook to rate the states accord-
ing to "basic morality and respect for fundamental law,"
thus to demonstrate the beneficial effects of good public
schools. "Considering the whites alone. North Carolina
has a lower murder rate than Ohio or Illinois," he re-
vealed, "and for whites and negroes combined its murder
rate is lower than those of Colorado and California."

A much more comprehensive rating system was that
of Samuel Huntington Hobbs, Jr., a North Carolinian,
who completed his studies at Madison and embodied
his findings in a University of Wisconsin doctoral dis-
sertation, published by the UNC Press. He based his
rankings on sixty-three items that supposedly reflected
achievement in regard to wealth, income, industry, agri-
culture, transportation, communication, public debt, tax-
ation, health, "education and reading," and "civic-social"
affairs. Recently the state department of conservation
and development had issued a "beautiful volume" en-
titled North Carolina, the Fifth State Today. "By no
stretch of the imagination can North Carolina be pic-
tured as the fifth state," Hobbs insisted. According to
his rating, it was the sixth — from the bottom. It was
outranked by a half-dozen states of the former Con-
federacy.

From 1944 to 1946, John Gunther toured the country
to gather material for his book. Inside U.S.A. North
Carolina is described here as "extremely independent,"
"various in the extreme," the "most liberal southern state"
and "one of the most important, alive and progressive"
North or South. Thus, at the end of the Second World
War, North Carolina's reputation seemed to have re-
covered and to be more secure than ever.

Extremely optimistic, on the whole, was the charac-
terization of North Carolina that V. O. Key, Jr. and
Alexander Heard gave in their classic study of Southern
Politics in State and Nation ( 1949 ) . Key and Heard

called North Carolina a "Progressive Plutocracy." They
saw hope for more progressiveness and less plutocracy
in the inauguration of Ken' Scott as governor and the
appointment of Frank Graham, the university president,
as United States senator. Key and Heard were especially
pleased by the state's "harmonious" race relations and
"sophisticated" politics.

Then, in 1950, Senator Graham was seeking renomi-
nation in the Democratic run-off primary. His opponent,
Willis Smith, appealed to racism, attacking Graham for
his service on the President's Civil Rights Committee.
A Smith whispering campaign gave the impression that
Graham was pro-black and anti-white. Smith won. North
Carolina thus "wrote a large question mark behind Time
magazine's recent characterization of it as the 'most
progressive southern state,' " the Christian Century com-
mented. "Many observers are deeply disturbed at the
implications for the future. . . ."

For more than a century, there had been signs of
ambivalence in the North Carolina character, and such
signs continued to appear during the 1960's and 70's.
The state's future progress was uncertain if judged by
its respective standing in the more recent statistical com-
parisons of the states as a whole. But the ratings need
not be taken necessarily as reflections of objective truth.
They are susceptible to bias in the choice of criteria —
bias which, as with other quantitative studies, may be
hidden beneath an imposing array of statistics.

Another defect in rating systems is that they fail to
take into account the attitude of the people themselves.
If people think their state is the best, it could be the
best — for them. In 196S, the Comparative State Elec-
tion Project sampled opinion in the United States as
a unit and in 13 states individually, putting the ques-
tion: "All things considered, would you say that (your
state) is the best in which to live?" For the entire
nation, the affirmative response was only 62 percent,
but for North Carolina it was 82 percent (and it was
almost exactly the same for black as for white North
Carolinians ) . This percentage was not only much higher
than the national figure; it was also higher than the
state percentage for any other state separately sampled.

position. Kat's term of service and
that of the other officers elected in
the 1976 voting will begin at the

nual meeting on May 8.

Neill McLeod '57 of Roxboro was

Dear Concerned:

An unidentified voter in this year's
Associational election noted on her/
his ballot "alarming" concern that
recent graduates of the University
were not included among the nomi-
nees. It is important that this con-
cerned voter — and all alumni —
know that there is a very important
provision in the Bylaws of the Alum-
ni Association which guarantees
representation of the youngest alum-
ni on the Board of Trustees. Each
senior class elects a trustee who

serves for two years following grad-
uation. There are, therefore, two
young alumni on the governing
board at all times.

This built-in presence of two
young alumni among the trustees
does not mean, of course, that others
among the younger members are
eliminated from consideration as
possible candidates. The Nominating
Committee considers all suggestions
for candidacy which are submitted.
Active members of the association
are invited annually (via this col-
umn) to submit the names of pos-
sible candidates to the committee.
The fact is that names of younger
alumni have seldom been submitted.
Again during the coming summer
there will be opportunity to remedy
this situation.

Alumni who wish to suggest can-
didates for President, Second Vice
President, and Trustee positions —
the officers to be elected next year —
should communicate before Septem-
ber 1 with Lois Frazier '42, who as
Second Vice President is serving as
chairman of the Nominating Com-
mittee: Dr. Lois Frazier, Meredith
College, Raleigh, N. C. 27611.

NEXT REUNION IN 1978

After Lela Wade Phillips attended an
AAG Class Agents meeting on campus
March 10, she dropped by the "Alumni
News" office to send a note to members
of her class. Her message: "Since you are
reading this in the "Alumni News," that
means you are already contributing to the
Annual Giving Program. This is just to
assure you that the University is truly
grateful for all your past gifts and is
hoping that your interest will continue.
The need for private support at UNC-G
is greater now than ever, and we hope
you will keep this in mind when you re-
ceive your next request for a contribution,
Remember, over 50 per cent of AAG funds
are earmarked for financial aid, one of
UNC-G's greatest needs."

"Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar-; and they filled a sponge with
vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth." (John 19:29).

Since she first read the ivord "hyssop," Lib Uzzell Griffin '38, garden
columnist for the "Durham Morning Herald," has wanted to know more about
the plant. Recently, she set out to see if it still existed and, to her own
surprise, found it locally in the garden of Mercer Reeves Hubbard '35,
editor of the N. C. Wildflower Society's publication and an old friend.
Mercer's minister-husband, Charles, supplied the Bible history and her
sister, Lib Reeves Lyon '38, the drawing (at right).

In the Bible, hyssop is a symbol of humbleness. Because of its ethereal-like
qualities and cool mint flavor it was used for many cleansing purposes,
including leprosy. There are numerous Old Testament references, including
Exodus 12:22, where Moses called for a bunch of hyssop to use as a brush
for daubing Hebrew homes with lamb's blood at the first passover.

Coordinating Editor — When Louise Gooch Boundas '59 arrived in
New York 17 years ago, someone told her she could never get a job in
publishing unless she could type 60 words a minute and take shorthand.
But even without these skills, she is now Editorial Coordinator for
"Stereo Review" magazine. All copy, both technical and musical, passes
through her hands as she supervises the complex procedure of turning
authors' manuscripts into articles on printed pages. Louise first landed
a job editing highly technical copy for a group of engineering journals.
"Although the office was in a beautiful mansion on Fifth Avenue, it was
an editorial sweatshop. They hired women because that was all they could
afford. The pay was less than subsistence, but the training was excellent."
She soon got a better job at Conover-Mast, publishers of a number of
trade magazines. After a masters degree in English and two years in
teaching, she became an editor for the Public Affairs Committee. She
joined "Stereo Reveiw" in 1972. (Information from "Stereo Review,"

Faculty
Forum

Alumni wishing to ask a favorite professor to "sound off" on a current issue are
invited to send their questions to Faculty Forum, care of the Alumni News.

I've read a good deal about Mary Wollstonecraft
in the past year, especially in tracts on feminine
liberation. Is she considered the first feminist?
Can someone on the Women's Studies Com-
mittee identify her properly?

The Alumni News asked Ruth Hege, lecturer in the Department
of English and a recent recipient of the Alumni Teaching Ex-
cellence Award, to write about Mary Wollstonecraft. Aside from
her efforts in behalf of women, Ms. Wollstonecraft was the
mother of Mary Shelley, wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley and
author of "Frankenstein." Ms. Hege teaches Women in Literature
(English 331), a study of notable literary heroines of ancient
and modern times, which is part of the Women's Studies
curriculum.

No, Mary Wollstonecraft was not the first feminist, for
there were other women thinking along feminist lines at
the same time: in England, for example, Mary Astell,
who carried on a correspondence with Lady Mary Wort-
ley Montague, was an early champion of women's
rights; and in France, Olympe de Gouges, who con-
sidered the education of women a matter of primary
importance. However, Mary Wollstonecraft was per-
haps the first really effective feminist. She was more
than that; she was a feminist-humanist and a forerunner
of the modern movement for women's liberation. All of
her life she straggled against the attitudes and institu-
tions that forced women to find identity through men.

Born in f759, Mary Wollstonecraft learned painfull)'
early the hardships to which women were exposed
simply because they were women. Her father was an
alcoholic and a domestic tyrant; her sister married a
brutal husband from whom Mary, at considerable per-
sonal risk, helped her to escape, and she saw Fanny
Blood, her dearest friend, die in childbirth — as she her-
self was to die at the age of 38. Working continually to
educate herself, learning French and German and read-
ing widely, she supported herself by such jobs as were
then open to ''ladies.'" At various times she was a seam-
stress, a companion, a teacher, and a governess. When
she was 28, she left her position as governess in an
aristocratic family in Dublin and moved to London,
determined to become a writer. Through her publisher,
Joseph Johnson, she met a brilliant group of radical
writers, artists, and philosophers, among them Thomas
Paine, William Blake, and William Godwin, later to
become her husband. Soon Mary was caught up in the
enthusiasm for the French Bevolution that was prevalent
in the liberal circles of the time.

In 1791, Joseph Johnson published Mary's Vindica-
tion of the Rights of Man, a reply to Burke's Reflections
on the Revolution in France, in which he had attacked
Jacobinism in all its forms. The first Vindication made
Mary notorious, for she, a woman, had challenged the
country's most respected statesman and had become a
powerful advocate for the democratic principles in which
she believed.

Having affronted the public by challenging Burke,
she added insult to injury the following year by pub-
lishing her greatest work, A Vindication of the Rights of
Woman. It aroused a violent public response. Horace
Walpole referred to her as one of the "philosophizing
serpents in our bosom" and as a "hyena in petticoats."
The public found repellent a forward-looking female
who was an avowed feminist.

It is this second Vindication for which Mary is most
widely known. All of her earlier ill-defined ideas about
social injustices to women are here expressed with self-
assured courage and independence. Her Vindication
anticipated most of the demands of the woman's move-
ment: better education for women, adequate legal rep-
resentation and the right to hold property, to be ad-
mitted to the professions — even the right to vote.

She attacked marriage, which she called an institu-
tion that oppressed women and kept them in "silken
fetters." She protested the social role assigned to women,
especially declaiming against the female education of
the day, confined largely to training in graceful "accom-
plishments" which she felt made women's minds and
characters trivial. She urged that educational oppor-
tunities be open to all, to men and women alike, and
that society stop considering women as mere pretty,
vain, jealous, fickle creatures. She denounced writers
like Rousseau who degraded women by their writings.

Women's minds must be cultivated. "Ignorance is a
frail base for virtue!" she wrote. It is not true that "man
was made to reason, women to feel." Women, like men,
have immortal souls, and a woman has "an understand-
ing to improve" through education, although "every-
thing conspires to render the cultivation of the under-
standing more difficult in the female than in the male
world." Woman was "not created merely to be the
solace of man, and the sexual should not destroy the
human character." She advocated co-education. "Mar-
riage will never be held sacred till women, by being
brought up with men, are prepared to be their com-
panions rather than their mistresses." The real answer,
she stressed again and again, is education — not mere
precepts but education through learning, through ex-
perience of life, and through the cultivation of the
reason. These are the means to elevate women's lot.

Yet it is important to remember that Mary Wollstone-
craft was a humanist and not merely a feminist. She
lived in an age when men in Europe and America were
extolling the charms of liberty, but men, she felt, would
never be truly free while they held half the human
race in bondage. Men and women both must share the
liberty all sought. In liberating women from social and
economic thralldom, men would liberate themselves. It
was freedom for all humanity that was the passionate
desire of Mary Wollstonecraft.

Rap Line

YEAS FOR THE SCHOOL SONG
A question in Rap Line in the last
issue of the ALUMNI NEWS asked
when something "was going to be
done" about the school song, noting
that "we need a song we can sing."

The fullest reply was received
from Mazie Kirkpatrick Gainey '15
which follows. The response of other
alumnae is reflected in excerpts from
the letters of Lois Atkinson Taylor
'26 and Linda Mitchell Lamm .37.
Most of the replies were from the
earlier decades, none from the past
25 years.

Dear Mrs. Atkins:

When I received the last edition of
Alumni News and read the first item
in Rap Line, I was both non-plussed
— and indignant. Yes, Jane Summer-
ell is absolutely right about when
the college song was written, first
used, and who wrote it. I know for
I was there and loved and enjoyed
every minute of the time we spent
learning it. It made my heart boil
with pride every time we sang it —
and still does.

I was indignant because I don't
believe for one minute that the ad-
vantages offered now are better than
at that time. If we could learn to
sing it, why isn't it less difficult for
those who are supposed to have had
better training? Both the music and
lyrics are beautiful and exemplify
the love every student who has ever
been there should have.

In those ancient days Mr. Hammel
(W.C.A.), our psychology teacher,
said never disapprove of anything
unless you have a solution to offer.
It seems that somewhere through
the years the students have not been
exposed to that wonderful song — or
haven't realized the beauty and dig-
nity of the lyrics. So — I would sug-
gest that some of our Alumni Giving

be used to print copies of the music
and lyrics and some group or organi-
zation on the campus take that for
a project — so that when we go back
the present student body can sing it,
and thereby convert the dissenters
( whoever they are ) . I'm sure there
are thousands who feel just as I do
that the college could not have a
song any more meaningful or one
that would express the spirit of that
great institution any more fully.

I really enjoyed our class' sixtieth
reunion last spring and am hoping to
be back for many more commence-
ments. I enjoy the Alumni News
very much.

Love,

Mazie Kirkpatrick Gainey "15

"So many things about Dr. Mclver's
Normal have been changed, one
graduate would like to have its song,
which Laura Weil Cone wrote, left
as it is. Folks have complained about
the Star Spangled Banner too, but
we still sing it as written."

Lois Atkixsox Taylor '26

'I must say I've never found it hard
to sing, and have always loved it.
No need for a change, as I see it.
Even after all these years the words
stick with me — and T feel the grati-
tude I owe to you, a never-ending
debt.' "

Lixda Mitchell Lamm '37

Q. I was interested in reading about
the Russian cultural tour sponsored
by a member of the UNC-G faculty
last summer. Will there be a "repeat"
this year?

A. Joachim Baer. professor of Rus-
sian Studies, will direct a Russian
Summer School this summer, spon-
sored bv UNC-G in cooperation with
Guilford College. The cost of $1,425
covers round-trip departure from

New York on June 11 and all travel,
hotels, meals and programs during
six weeks of study in Berlin, Warsaw,
Leningrad, Moscow, Kiev, Odessa,
Budapest and Vienna. Three weeks
of independent travel is provided
from July 25-August 14 when the
group will emplane from Paris for
New York. Additional information
may be obtained by writing Dr.
Baer, Department of German and
Russian, UNC-G, Greensboro 27412.

Q. Now that the new administra-
tion building is open, what offices
are located in Foust, the former ad-
ministration building? Are there any
long-range plans for Foust?

A. The offices of the Chancellor,
the Vice Chancellor for Administra-
tion, the Director of Institutional
Research, the Vice Chancellor for
Academic Affairs, the Vice Chancel-
lor for Graduate Studies, the Vice
Chancellor for Business Affairs, the
Directors of Accounting and Busi-
ness Services, and the Director of
Financial Aid are now located in
the New Administration Building.
The office of the Vice Chancellor for
Development is now in the Alumni
House.

Moving into vacated space in
Foust are the Dean of Business and
Economics, the Center for Applied
Research, a portion of the Depart-
ment of Economics, and the Depart-
ment of Anthropology.

Remaining in Foust are the offices
of the Director of Continuing Edu-
cation and Summer Session, Dean
of Students for Student Services,
Dean of Students for Residence
Life, Registrar, Director of Admis-
sions. Cashier. Director of Office for
Adult Students, Veterans Affairs,
and Director of Physical Plant.

The offices of the Deans of Stu-
dents. Registrar, Admissions, and
Cashier will move to the New Ad-
ministration Building when the first
floor of that building is completed.
It is anticipated that Foust will con-
tinue to be used for administrative
and academic offices for the forsee-
able future. For the long range, it
has been proposed that the Foust
Building be completely restored for
general campus uses in celebration
of the University's Centennial.

Benjamin Franklin, the wise leader of early America,
left to the city of Philadelphia an endowment which
now amounts to over one million dollars. But Ben
stipulated in his will that the money would be used
for one purpose: to buy watering troughs for horses.
Today, almost two hundred years after Franklin's
death, Philadelphia is hard put to find troughs, much
less the horses to water in them.

This is one illustration of the need to give careful
thought and planning in making a will. It offers one
answer to the question in the minds of many alumni:
Why are they receiving so much information from
UNC-G about wills and estate planning.
First of all, it's part of continuing education. The Uni-
versity's primary purpose is to educate, and there is an
obvious need for education in the area of wills and
estate planning. A recent survey showed:

• Seven out of eight adults died intestate (without
a valid will).

• Less than half of the adults with estates of
$60,000 or more have a will.

What happens to those who leave no will? A story
was recently published about a prominent New York
business man who died intestate. His estate was valued
around $25 million. Costs and taxes totaled almost
$20 million, leaving his family only about 20 per cent
of the original estate.

Only through a valid will can a person:

• Decide who is to receive his property and how.

• Choose the organization or person to supervise
the settlement of his estate.

• Lessen the amount of federal estate tax his estate
will have to pay.

• Name the guardian of his minor children.

• Make specific provisions for UNC-G or other
charitable organizations.

A second reason UNC-G is interested in informing
alumni about wills is self-serving. Through the years
the University has received bequests which have
enriched its programs far beyond the basic needs
provided by state funds.

Last year is an example. The George B. Bobbins
estate provided a gift of $135,000 to establish a new
scholarship fund. Also bequests were received from
the estates of Myrtle K. Keister and Maude Bunn
Battle '14. In addition, the University received word
that bequests were made by Buth Vick O'Brien '21,
Lula Martin Mclver Dickinson '21 and Clora McNeill
Foust '09, whose estates are in the process of being
settled.

Wills and estate planning are important to UNC-G
because by education alumni and friends are helped,
and through bequests alumni and friends can help
the University.

A will is probably the most important single docu-
ment one ever signs, yet many through oversight or
neglect fail to act in this important area. The great
minister, Peter Marshall, failed himself in this re-
spect. In To Live Again, Catherine Marshall writes,
"Peter, to the surprise of all who had known him well,
had left no will. If only he had known how much it
left to be taken care of."

To avoid such errors is the aim of the University's
program in wills and estate planning. A will con-
veys the thought and care of the donor long after he
is gone. □
