From  Almnni  Pens 


Lost  aliunna  found 


A  number  of  readers 
helped  us  find  Mary 
Holshouser  Johnson 
'53  in  Redondo, 
Beach,  CA .  Mary 's 
classmate  Lou  Ann 
Lewis  Locke  wrote  in 
Alumni  News  of  her 
rote  as  a  "young 
Turk"  at  UNC-G 
during  the  early 
1950s.  Mary  re- 
sponded .  .  . 


Thanks  for  the  jolt  from  the  past. 
Like  many  other  events  in  life,  it 
seems  propitious,  arriving  at  a  time 
when  I  am  ready  to  look  for  new 
vistas  —  or  perhaps  to  return  to  some 
long-cherished  dreams  and  goals. 

I  didn't,  by  the  way,  make  it  to  the 
Russian  Embassy  post  or  marry  that 
charming  young  German.  I  did  com- 
plete my  Russian  studies  and  work 


for  several  years  translating  and 
editing  material  from  the  Soviet 
press. 

Then  marriage,  the  birth  of  twin 
boys,  and  a  move  to  California  inter- 
rupted that  area  of  life  fairly  perma- 
nently. By  the  arrival  of  child  four, 
I  found  myself  a  constant  frequenter 
of  nursery  schools,  so  I  founded  and 
operated  a  pre-school  which  em- 
bodied my  educational  ideals.  The 
past  five  years  have  found  me  back 
with  my  original  love  and  UNC-G 
major  —  English.  I  nowenjoy  my  job 
as  English  teacher  at  our  local  high 
school,  working  with  those  two 
diverse  and  fascinating  student 
groups  —  the  remedial  and  the  gifted. 

I  have  continuously  fed  the  love  of 
learning  fostered  at  UNC-G.  Cali- 
fornia's programs  for  adult  educa- 
tion have  allowed  me  to  study 
Japanese,  complete  a  second  major 
in  music  and  drama,  and  a  third  in 
the  teaching  of  reading  and  English 
as  a  second  language.  Currently  1  am 
engaged  in  computer  classes,  since 
that  formidable  machine  has  invaded 
our  lives  and  public  schools. 

Lou  Ann's  question  —  were  we 
effective  in  our  heady  "young  Turk" 
roles?  —  is  not  a  question  at  all  to  me. 
I  have  always  believed  that  we  (and 
others  before  us)  laid  the  groundwork 
for  the  civil  rights  movement  and 
many  other  movements.  Certainly 
our  individual  efforts  were  small,  but 
isn't  life  and  social  change  made  out 
of  the  accumulated  impact  of  such 
efforts?  Since  leaving  UNC-G,  I've 
been  only  in  the  "big"  cities  (New 
York  and  L.A.)  and  in  "big"  organi- 
zations where  it  is  easy  to  lose  one's 
sense  of  individual  effectiveness.  One 
thing  I  have  discovered  is  that  indi- 
viduals—  any  of  us,  all  of  us  —  are 
the  only  instruments  of  change.  If  we 
lose  sight  of  that  or  fail  to  believe  it, 
we  will  shut  down  the  creative 
energies  so  needed  by  the  com- 
munities in  which  we  live.  I  am 
grateful  to  UNC-G  for  allowing  us 
the  opportunity  to  enter  the 
democratic  process  as  students,  to 
effect  changes  on  our  campus,  to  be 
inspired  by  concerned  and  imagi- 
native teachers,  and  to  be  immersed 
in  a  strong  tradition  of  commitment 
to  learning  and  to  democratic  par- 
ticipation in  life. 


My  daughter  is  a  freshman  in  col- 
lege this  year  and  I  am  reliving  with 
her  many  moments  from  those  won- 
derful years  in  Greensboro.  Lou 
Ann's  article  put  her  in  touch  with 
the  "young  Turks"  of  an  earlier 
generation  and  gave  her  a  sense,  too, 
of  building  on  what  had  gone  before. 

Greetings  to  all,  and  a  salute  to  a 
great  institution  from  a  grateful 
alumna. 

Mary  Holshouser  Johnson  '53 


UNC-G' s  famous  AS'omen 

I  enjoyed  the  Fall  1982  issue, 
especially  the  article  on  The  Southern 
Woman.  Who  wrote  the  introduc- 
tion? [Ed.  note:  Joe  Gainer  MFA 
'82,  Editorial  Assistant  for  Alumni 
News.]  So  funny  and  so  true.  I 
remember  the  famous  women  of 
Woman's  College  included  in  Emily 
Herring  Wilson's  essay;  it  was  nice  to 
recall  them  again.  I  also  remember, 
among  others,  the  formidable  Helen 
Barton  who  said,  "I  expected  it," 
when  I  expressed  surprise  that  I  had 
made  the  highest  grade  in  the  class  on 
a  calculus  exam,  and  then  later  told 
me  that  I  was  not  worth  the  $80  per 
week  I  was  to  make  on  my  first  job 
after  graduation.  She  was  right,  as 
usual.  There  was  also  Ann  Lewis  in 
the  mathematics  department,  soft- 
spoken,  kind,  and  patient.  And  so 
many  more  .  .  . 

Nancy  Lou  Faust  Carter  '54 

I  was  truly  glad  to  see  Jane  Sum- 
merell's  picture  among  the  famous 
women  [of  UNC-G].  She  was  my 
senior  English  teacher  at  the  Greens- 
boro High  School  and  my  English 
teacher  my  freshman  year  at  the 
College.  She  was  a  wonderful  teacher 
and  a  person  one  does  not  forget.  I 
was  delighted  to  see  and  speak  to  her 
at  my  fiftieth  reunion.

Works 
of  the 
Heart 


Transcripts  stored  away  in  Moss- 
man  Building's  file  cabinets 
document  students'  academic  work. 
But  the  photographs  on  these  pages 
document  works  of  their  hearts.  The 
photographs  display  only  the  surface 
of  a  deep  commitment  possessed  by 
many  students  who  want  to  help  peo- 
ple in  need,  students  who  exercise 
their  hearts  as  well  as  their  minds. 


A  To  raise  money  for  the  Cystic 
Fibrosis  Foundation,  members 
of  the  Alpha  Chi  Omega  sorority 
took  turns  camping  on  the  rock  in 
front  of  the  dining  hall.  Pictured  in 
the  photograph,  Lisa  Rogers  (left) 
and  Belinda  Meadows  huddle  to- 
gether beneath  a  mass  of  quilts  and 
sleeping  bags.  The  sorority  sisters 
shivered  on  top  of  the  rock  for 
seventy-two  hours  and  acquired 
pledges  totaling  $1500. 


BSome  night  Carolyn  Schmidt's 
phone  may  ring,  and  the 
woman's  voice  on  the  line  may  say, 
"I'm  on  the  corner  of  Parkway  and 
Wendover,  it's  2  AM,  and  I  need  a 
place  to  stay."  Carolyn,  a  senior 
studying  psychiatric  nursing,  is  a 
volunteer  for  the  hotline  at  Turning 
Point,    a    rape    and    spouse    abuse 


prevention  program  in  Greensboro. 
Carolyn  listens  to  her  caller's  com- 
plaints, helps  her  decide  what  her 
next  step  should  be,  and  perhaps 
arranges  for  her  to  stay  at  an 
emergency  shelter  where  she  will  be 
safe  from  a  husband's  threats. 

C  Dancers  swayed  and  swept 
across  the  Cone  Ballroom  floor 
in  a  twelve  hour  dance-a-thon  to  raise 
money  for  the  Muscular  Dystrophy 
Association.  Sixty-two  dancers 
rocked  through  the  night  and  into  the 


next  morning.  By  the  twelfth  hour, 
the  couples  had  joined  together  in 
lurching,  swinging,  triumphant 
groups  as  they  celebrated  the  accum- 
ulated pledges  of  $3000  towards 
research  and  medical  programs  of  the 
Muscular  Dystrophy  Association. 

D  Delta  Sigma  Theta  sorority 
sisters  visit  Mr.  Calloway,  an 
elderly  man  they  fondly  call  "Grand- 
father," who  lives  in  an  apartment  of 
a  Greensboro  residential  complex  for 
the  elderly.  "Grandfather,  why  don't

you  come  to  talk  to  our  class  about 
what  it  was  like  when  you  were  grow- 
ing up?"  one  of  the  sorority  sisters 
asks.  Mr.  Calloway  laughs  and  folds 
his  hands  on  his  knees.  "Imagine  me, 
a  man  with  a  third  grade  education, 
coming  to  lecture  to  you  college 
[kids,"  he  tells  them.  Pictured  from

E  Three  swinging  sisters  of  the 
Chi  Omega  sorority  —  Sarah 
Owens,  Tara  McMillan,  and  Deirdre 
Smith  '82  —  participated  in  the 
sorority's  twenty-four  hour  swing-a- 
thon  to  raise  rnoney  for  Winston- 
Salem's  Rainbow  House.  Children 
receiving  treatment  for  leukemia  can 
stay  overnight  with  their  families  at 
the  Rainbow  House.  The  sorority 
endured  a  twenty-five  degree  night 
swinging  on  the  Elliott  Center  swings 
to  raise  about  $1000  in  pledges. 


F  Sandy  Gilmer  volunteers  eight 
hours  of  her  week  from  grad- 
uate study  in  education  to  work  at  the 
Guilford  County  Developmental 
Center,  where  the  mentally  retarded 
are  trained  in  pre-vocational  skills. 
Sitting  with  Jack  Swinson,  she 
teaches  him  to  sort  objects.  Sandy 
started  working  at  the  center  to  fulfill 
a  field  experience  requirement  last 
fall,  but  her  work  with  the  mentally 
handicapped  men  and  women  was  so 
satisfying  she  decided  to  stay  on  as 
a  \olunteer  teacher.

Several  students  help  Elinor  as  Kim

help  others  in  these  un-organized,  un- 
publicized,  and  often  unnoticed 
ways. 


HA  senior  specializing  in  psychi- 
atric nursing,  Laurel  Pember- 
ton  works  twice  a  week  at  Gatehouse, 
where  people  with  emotional  prob- 
lems that  interfere  with  living  a  nor- 
mal life  can  spend  their  afternoons. 
Laurel  plays  cards,  ping  pong,  and 
bingo  with  the  clients  or  visits  with 
them  in  the  Fellowship  Hall  of  Grace 
United  Methodist  Church,  the  Gate- 
house headquarters.  Program  direc- 
tor Tammy  Cutri  '81  also  has  the 
help  of  Karen  Kiser,  a  UNC-G  com- 
munications and  English  major. 


I  At  least  twice  a  year  medical 
tables  set  up  in  Cone  Ballroom 
are  occupied  by  students  who  donate 
their  blood  in  the  Bloodmobile  spon- 
sored by  the  UNC-G  service  sorority 
(Gamma  Sigma  Sigma)  and  service 
fraternity  (Alpha  Phi  Omega).  Stu- 
dent nurses  help  the  Red  Cross  take 
donors'  temperatures  and  blood 
pressures.  In  the  most  recent  blood- 
mobile,  each  of  nearly  350  students 
donated  a  pint  of  blood,  well  exceed- 
ing the  Red  Cross'  anticipated  goal 
at  the  University.

I  for  March  of  Dimes,  Phil

to  make  sure  no  wayworn  walkers 
strayed  from  the  thirty  kilometer 
route.  At  his  post,  Phil  guided  many 
UNC-G  students,  fraternities,  and 
sororities  among  the  thousand 
walkers  who  trudged,  some  briskly 
and  others  wearily,  toward  the  finish 
line.  The  walkers  raised  $34,000.

KJohn  Franklin,  a  senior  and 
a  head  usher  at  Aycock  Audi- 
torium, is  often  seen  handing  out 
programs  in  Aycock  doorways.  On 
frequent  Sundays,  he  can  be  seen 
handing  out  cups  of  coffee  at  Friends 
Home,  a  Greensboro  retirement  com- 
munity. John,  along  with  other 
members  of  the  technical  crew  at 
Aycock,  volunteer  Sunday  nights  to 
work  in  the  Friends  Home  cafeteria, 
where  they  serve  drinks  to  the 
residents  and  carry  their  trays.  After 
dinner,  they  wander  among  the  diners 


to  chat  and  offer  another  cup  of 
coffee.  "This  is  a  way  you  can  get  to 
know  older  people  better,"  says 
John.  Wenda  Clinard,  the  other  head 
usher  at  Aycock,  has  become  friends 
with  a  resident  through  this  volunteer 
work.  She  made  a  special  trip  to 
Friends  Home  recently  for  his  birth- 
day party. 

LRick  Williams  was  among  the 
ninety  students  who  kept  Cole- 
man Gymnasium  hopping  one  Satur- 
day morning  in  late  March.  Students 


jumped  rope  for  three  hours  to  raise 
funds  for  the  American  Heart 
Association.  Businesses  and  local 
people  promised  pledges  for  the 
number  of  minutes  jumped  by  six- 
person  teams.  Most  teams  were  com- 
posed of  fraternities,  sororities,  and 
individual  students,  but  a  few 
teachers  also  "got  roped  into  it,"  as 
Dan  Ross,  a  physical  education  facul- 
ty member,  joked.  The  rope-jumpers 
collected  over  $2100  in  pledges.

^77e  Centenary  Project 


A  Dazzling  Decennial 

The  State  Normal  and  Industrial  College  was  launched  on  a  splendid  future, 
and  now,  after  ten  years,  it  could  even  speak  of  a  splendid  past. 


by  Dr.  Richard  Bardolph 


We  remarked  in  an  earlier  stcetcli 
that  the  1902  commencement 
—  the  Decennial  Commencement  as 
it  was  called  even  before  its  formal 
planning  began,  and  as  it  is  still 
known  by  connoisseurs  of  the  Col- 
lege's history  —  provided  a  conven- 
ient occasion  for  retrospection  as  well 
as  fresh  reflection  upon  the  school's 
proper  course.  Seizing  upon  the  co- 
incidence of  the  rounding  out  of  the 
College's  first  decade  and  the  initi- 
ation of  the  Students'  Building  ("a 
gift  to  the  College  by  its  students  and 
friends"),  Dr.  Mclver  mobilized  all 
of  his  celebrated  energies  to  make  the 
birthday  a  memorable  one,  centering 
particularly  upon  the  newly  assured 
prospects  for  the  new  structure  and 
upon  a  dazzling  "decennial  dinner" 
where  the  whole  college  family  might 
gather  in  pentecostal  communion  to 
anticipate  a  glorious  future. 

The  decennial  year  was  also 
marked,  by  the  way,  by  the  publi- 
cation of  the  North  Carolina  State 
Normal  and  Industrial  College 
Decennial,  1902,  a  handsome  cloth- 
bound  folio  volume  of  170  pages,  full 
of  photographs,  historical  sketches, 
portraits,  and  detailed  descriptive 
data  —  still  one  of  the  richest  sources 
we  have  for  the  school's  early  history. 
Yet  another  wav  of  dramatizine  in 


this  decennial  year  the  institution's 
increasingly  impressive  place  in  the 
cultural  life  of  the  state,  was  the 
announcement  that,  beginning  in  late 
.April  1902,  and  annually  thereafter, 
a  month-long  teachers'  institute 
would  be  held  on  the  campus,  to 
which  the  state's  teachers  could  come 
to  strengthen  their  professional 
credentials.  Unofficially  christened  as 
"the  May  School"  (those  who 
attended  came  to  be  called  "May 
Pops"),  it  proved  an  immediate  suc- 
cess and  was  for  several  years  a 
familiar  and  important  intTuence  in 
the  state's  educational  program. 

As  in  several  preceding  years,  the 
formal  commencement  activities  for 
1902  were  planned  as  a  three-day 
observance.  This  time  Mclver  was 
determined  to  bring  back  to  the 
school  every  former  student  and 
every  friend  of  the  Normal  who  could 
be  induced  to  come.  On  March  20  he 
sent  out  a  letter  to  all  ex-students, 
emphasizing  that  the  big  event  would 
be  the  laying  of  the  cornerstone  of  the 
proposed  Students'  Building.  Early 
respondents  would  have  first  claim 
upon  the  few  vacant  dormitory 
spaces  that  might  be  available,  and, 
to  accommodate  others,  the  school 
would  make  arrangements  to  secure 
boarding  space  in  rooms  near  the 


campus  for  the  commencement  week- 
end. "All  can  take  their  meals  in  the 
College  dining  room,"  he  went  on, 
"and  we  hope  that  the  expense  of 
each  former  student  will  not  be  more 
than  fifty  cents  a  day."  The  banquet 
would  be  held  on  Tuesday  evening, 
May  27,  climaxing  that  day's  gradu- 
ation exercises.  Prominent  men  of  the 
state  would  be  present,  he  promised, 
and  tickets  for  the  feast  would  be 
only  fifty  cents. 

The  letter  urged  that  even  those 
who  would  be  unable  to  come  fill  out 
the  form  that  he  was  enclosing.  "It 
has  been  recently  reported,"  he  ex- 
plained, "that  not  two  percent  of  the 
students  who  leave  the  college  teach. 
The  fact  is  that  more  than  ninety  per 
cent  of  its  graduates  and  probably 
seventy-five  per  cent  of  all  former 
students  have  taught.  I  wish  to  have 
a  definite  figure,  however,  from  each 
former  student." 

On  May  12  he  wrote  again  to  those 
who  were  planning  to  participate.  A 
very  large  attendance  was  now- 
assured,  he  wrote,  and  several  vacant

The  class  of  '02  was  the  largest  with  one  exception  in  the  ten  year  history 
of  the  college.  In  the  decennial  publication.  Annette  Morton  wrote  to 
her  fellow  classmates.  "Timidly,  hesitatingly,  had  we  entered  this  College 


world,  small  and  insignificant,  perhaps,  to  those  who  have  passed 
beyond  it,  but  oh,  how  complete,  how  real,  how  wonderful  to  us. " 


which  had  been  dedicated  less  than 
three  months  before,  had  been  com- 
mandeered for  the  occasion  as  dor- 
mitories "supplied  with  cots  and 
other  necessities  for  your  comfort." 
The  attenders  were  asi<ed  to  "bring 
your  own  towels,  table  napkins,  a 
pair  of  sheets  and  also  a  pillow  if 
your  comfort  requires  one." 

Characteristically,  Mclver  had  per- 
suaded the  railroads  operating  in  the 
state  to  offer  reduced  fares  for  the 
event,  and  he  now  urged  the  prospec- 
tive visitors  to  ask  their  ticket  agents 
if  they  had  received  the  necessary  in- 
structions on  the  point.  And  even  if 
they  had  not,  the  girls  were  advised 
to  purchase  their  tickets  and  ask  for 
receipts  so  that  he  could  see  to  it  that 
they  would  subsequently  receive  the 
refunds  due  them.  He  also  now  con- 
firmed that  the  charge  for  meals  at 
the  dining  room  would  be  fifty  cents 
a  day,  that  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
Alumnae  Association  would  be  held 
at  4  p.m.  on  Saturday  in  the  chapel, 
and  that  the  cornerstone-laying 
would  be  at  2:30  on  Monday. 

According  to  local  newspapers,  the 
guests  began  pouring  into  the  city  in 
numbers  on  Friday,  and  a  goodly 
representation  from  the  several 
classes  appeared  at  the  alumnae  ses- 
sion. On  Sunday  morning,  said  one 


reporter,  "the  auditorium  in  Main 
Building  was  crowded  with  ...  a 
splendid  audience  of  residents  of  the 
city,  students,  and  visitors,  and  every 
available  inch  of  space  where  an  extra 
chair  could  be  put  in  use  was 
occupied,  even  the  outside  corridors 
being  filled  with  eager  worshipers." 
The  baccalaureate  preacher  was  Dr. 
William  Adair  Brown  of  Union 
Theological  Seminary,  New  York, 
whose  sermon  the  press  described  as 
"a  masterpiece."  The  service  ended 
with  a  rendition  of  Handel's  "Halle- 
lujah Chorus"  from  Messiah,  and  of 
the  "Gloria,"  sung  by  the  College 
Glee  Club,  assisted  by  a  chorus  of 
male  voices. 

The  State  Normal  Magazine  was 
convinced  that  "the  most  striking 
feature  of  our  Decennial  Commence- 
ment was  the  laying  of  the  corner- 
stone of  the  Students'  Building  by  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Masons,"  on  Mon- 
day the  26th  which  was 

one  of  the  most  beautiful  spectacles 
ever  witnessed  on  our  own  or  upon 
any  other  college  campus.  The 
Masons  in  regalia,  the  military  and 
the  Proximity  Band  in  uniform, 
joined  the  body  of  College  faculty, 
students  and  alumnae.  Moving  in  a 
procession  of  more  than  five  hun- 
dred, the  Class  colors,  the  green 
sword  and  foliage,  the  blue  sky,  the 


happy   faces,   all   made  a  picture 

which  cannot  be  forgotten. 

The  procession  formed  at  the  front 
entrance  of  Main  Building  and  the 
line  of  march  proceeded  solemnly 
from  the  Spring  Garden  Street  en- 
trance to  the  site  of  the  new  building. 
"There  the  lines  separated,  facing 
each  other.  Through  these  lines  the 
Masonic  bodies,  the  military  and  the 
band  filed.  The  lines  again  closed  and 
formed  a  hollow  square  around  the 
cornerstone.-  On  the  platform  sat  the 
officers  of  the  Grand  Lodge  and 
other  distinguished  men." 

There  followed  the  colorful  ritual 
of  the  cornerstone  ceremonies,  in- 
cluding "the  pouring  on  of  oil  and 
wine,"  the  invocation,  and  the 
dedication  of  the  building,  after 
which  all  joined  in  singing  "Our 
Country."  When  the  cornerstone  was 
sealed  with  appropriate  mementoes 
by  mortar  and  trowel,  a  final  invo- 
cation was  pronounced  by  the  offi- 


'The  biitlding  Ihen  so  eagerly  awaited  has  now,  of  course, 
long  since  been  demolished  after  fij'ly  years  of  sen  ice.  The 
cornerstone,  ho  wever.  is  stitl  there,  on  the  west  side  of  College 
A  venue  precisely  opposite  the  entrance  of  the  present  Forney 
Building  (which  during  the  Students '  Building 's  lifetime  was 
the  College  Library).  If  the  sculptured  Founder  could  be 
persuaded  to  turn  his  bronze  eyes  somewhat  to  the  right, 
abandoning  for  a  moment  his  ftxed  stare  into  the  middle 
distance,  his  gaze  would  come  to  rest  on  the  former  site  of 
Students '  Building  where,  m  the  last  two  years  of  his  life,  his 
voice  so  frequently  rang  out  lo  exhort  '  'his  girls ' '  to  higher

elating  chaplain.  Thereupon  the  en- 
tire assembly  marched  in  a  body  to 
the  auditorium  in  Main  Building 
where  it  heard,  from  a  member  of  the 
Fund  Committee,  a  history  of  the 
project's  origins  and  progress,  an 
endeavor  that  was  expected  to  raise 
$20,000  for  the  new  structure, 
510,000  of  it  already  safely  in  hand. 
Later  in  the  afternoon  came  the 
Class  Day  activities,  notably  the  Class 
Tree  ceremonies,  ending  with  the 
Class  Poet's  prayer,  "at  the  close  of 
which  hardly  an  eye  was  dry,"  said 
the  State  Normal  Magazine.  In  the 
evening  the  Senior  Class  Night  exer- 
cises were  presented,  in  which  the  six 
essays  selected  from  the  thirty-four 
graduates'  senior  essays  were  read  by 
their  authors.  The  six  ranged  in 
theme  from  "The  Mission  of  Old 
Maids"  to  (the  first-prize  winner) 
"Egotism  as  Displayed  in  Everyday 
Life,"  the  latter  by  the  same  Miss 
Carrie  L.  Sparger  whose  prayer,  only 
a  few  hours  earlier,  had  elicited  so 
many  tears. 

The  Tuesday  morning  graduating 
exercises  were  opened  with  an  invoca- 
tion by  Rabbi  J.  L.  Mayerberg  of 
Goldsboro;  a  hymn  by  the  Glee  Club; 
and  a  report  by  President  Mclver  on 
the  institution's  ten-year  achievement 
which,  he  boldly  predicted,  justified 
the  expectation  that  the  school  would 
in  time  rank  with  Wellesley,  Vassar, 
Smith,  and  Bryn  Mawr.  They  had,  of 
course,  been  crowded  and  far  from 
placid  years.  And  if  the  printed  ver- 
sion of  Mclver's  evaluation  of  them 
(it  was  in  fact  widely  reprinted  and 
circulated)  provides  a  fair  measure, 
and  if  the  several  newspapers'  cor- 
respondents may  be  relied  upon,  the 
speech  was,  even  for  such  an  occa- 
sion, a  very  long  one,  but  shrewdly 
enlivened  by  its  resourceful  author 
with  humor  and  aptly  chosen  anec- 
dote. His  closing  remark,  reproduced 
here  verbatim,  was:  "Now  if  I  have 
taxed  your  patience  by  this  lengthy 
report  I  beg  your  pardon  on  the  same 
grounds  given  by  a  certain  brother  in 
introducing  a  fellow  preacher.  'We 
will  now  hear  the  address  of  brother 
so-and-so  on  "Satan."  He  is  full  of 
his  subject.'" 

Mclver  was  followed  by  Governor 
Aycock  in  one  of  his  characteristic- 
ally forceful  homilies  on  education. 


and  by  Professor  Henry  Jerome 
Stockard,  who  read  his  225-line 
"Decennial  Ode,"  written  for  the 
occasion.  The  Raleigh  News  and 
Observer  called  the  poem  a  "gem" 
and  let  it  go  at  that.  And  while  other 
papers  chose  not  to  touch  it  at  all 
except  to  mention  its  title,  the 
Greensboro  Telegram  marveled  that 
such  a  poet  walked  among  us  here  in 
North  Carolina.  It  was,  said  the 
entranced  reporter,  "magnificent 
...  it  certainly  will  go  down  as  one 
of  the  masterpieces  of  North  Caro- 
lina literature  .  .  .  not  far  removed 
from  the  class  of  Shelly  [sic]  and 
Keats." 

The  commencement  orator  for  the 
day  was  to  have  been  United  States 
Senator  Edward  Ward  Carmack  of 


by  Aycock's  shouted  pledge  that  he 
would  see  that  the  College  was  sup- 
plied by  the  state  with  all  it  needed; 
that  there  should  be  a  thousand  girls 
on  this  campus;  that  he  would  rather 
see  any  other  institution  of  the  state 
closed  before  this  one.  Has  it  not,  he 
demanded,  achieved  a  pre-eminence 
in  ten  years  which  the  older  institu- 
tion at  Chapel  Hill  had  required  a 
hundred  years  to  attain? 

Aycock,  by  the  way,  was  to  have 
given  a  little  speech  anyhow,  even  if 
the  Tennessee  senator  had  been  there, 
for  an  appearance  by  the  governor 
had  come  to  be  expected  at  every 
commencement.  The  sudden  cancel- 
lation of  the  senator's  visit  had 
simply  extended  the  time  available  to 
Aycock,   and,   more   important,   it 


In  this  dining  hall  on  the  night  of  May  27,  1902.  a  prandial  hubub  stirred  as  alumnae,  graduates, 
juniors,  and  invited  guests  celebrated  the  school's  tenth  year  with  a  feast  ofSmithfield  ham.  garden 
peas,  and  rolled  tongue.  During  the  dinner,  gifts  were  presented  and  sixteen  speakers  rose  to  deliver 
speeches.  The  dining  hall,  which  was  built  in  1895.  did  not  return  to  the  placidness  depicted  in 
the  photograph  until  two  o  'clock  in  the  morning. 


Tennessee,  but  at  the  last  minute  he 
was  detained  in  Nashville  at  the 
urgent  solicitation  of  party  hacks 
whose  need  for  him  was  greater  than 
that  of  the  Class  of  '02.  He  was,  on 
the  shortest  notice,  replaced  by 
Governor  Aycock,  who  could  always 
be  depended  upon  even  without  the 
stimulation  of  so  large  and  eager  an 
audience  to  descant  upon  the  lofty 
ends  of  education.  "He  was  at  his 
best,"  said  the  News  and  Observer, 
"and  the  applause  was  hearty."  The 
correspondent  was  especially  startled 


made  room  for  Mclver's  full  report 
on  the  College's  first  ten  years. 

It  is  impossible  now  to  regret  that 
Mclver  and  Aycock  had  the  oppor- 
tunity to  fill  in  time  left  by  Carmack's 
absence,  but  in  retrospect  it  seems 
probable  that  the  campus  may  have 
missed  a  colorful  speech.  Six  years 
later,  Carmack,  an  immensely 
influential  figure  in  Tennessee 
politics,  was  killed  in  a  gun  fight  by 
bitter  political  enemies  in  the  streets 
of  Nashville  near  the  capitol.  An  old- 
fashioned  Southern  editor/politician 


8  /  Alumni  News  Spring  1983 


(long  associated  with  the  Memphis 
Commercial  Appeal  and  the  Nash- 
ville American),  he  was  celebrated  for 
his  brilhant  style,  both  written  and 
spoken;  but  it  was  frequently  tinged 
with  vitriol,  and  his  biographers  agree 
that  few  cared  to  debate  him.  The 
national  magazines  referred  to  his 
fatal  encounter  as  a  "Southern  street 
duel,"  and  the  episode  stimulated 
discussion  in  the  country's  press 
about  the  persistence  of  violence  and 
"personal  justice"  in  America. 

As  the  program  moved  forward, 
the  traditional  copies  of  the  Federal 
and  State  Constitutions  were  dis- 
tributed to  the  graduates  with  an 
appropriate  admonition  by  the  state 
attorney  general;  the  Bibles  were 
handed  'round  by  Rev.  W.  C.  New- 
ton, "with  a  brief  yet  fitting  speech 
of  presentation";  the  orchestra 
offered  a  brief  musical  respite  from 
oratory.  Then  Mclver  sprang  to  his 
feet  to  remind  the  audience  of  the 
governor's  reception  for  alumnae  at 
five  and  the  keenly  anticipated  decen- 
nial dinner  at  eight.  Finally,  the 
diplomas  were  presented  to  the  thirty- 
four  graduates  by  President  Mclver, 
"who  made  a  touching  and  inspiring 
speech,  stating  that  the  decennial 
class  was  the  largest  class  with  one 
exception  in  the  history  of  the 
College.  After  the  doxology  the 
audience  was  dismissed." 

The  decennial  dinner  slowly  came 
to  order  some  time  after  eight,  when 
the  animated  preprandial  hubbub 
had  finally  subsided.  The  feast  did 
not  break  up  until  two  o'clock  in  the 
morning.  Catered  by  Greensboro's 
W.  F.  Clegg  in  the  College  Dining 
Hall,  and  served  by  "the  Marshals  of 
the  Junior  Class  .  .  .  with  the  same 
graceful  and  thoughtful  diligence  that 
had  marked  them  through  the  entire 
commencement,"  the  nearly  500 
alumnae,  graduates,  juniors,  and  in- 
vited guests  feasted  on  consomme, 
mixed  pickles,  garden  peas,  sweet 
potato  chips,  salad,  Smithfield  ham, 
rolled  tongue,  strawberry  and 
caramel  ice  creams,  American  cheese, 
toasted  wafers,  and  black  (was  this 
significant?)  coffee. 

And  speaking  of  rolled  tongue:  the 
wit,  oratory,  tributes,  congratula- 
tions, and  nostalgic  whimsey  flowed 
majestically  with  only  one  momen- 


tary and  surprising  interruption.  The 
beaming  host  was  for  once  struck 
dumb  as  he  was  unexpectedly  called 
upon  to  accept  a  "magnificent  silver 
bowl"  from  the  alumnae.  We  are 
assured  that  the  cascading  flow  was 
quickly  re-established,  for,  wrote  a 
mesmerized  newspaperman,  "the  gift 
expressed  the  appreciation  of  his  old 
girls  so  exquisitely  to  the  distin- 
guished educator,  that  he  perforce 
recovered  frora  confusion  and  in 
response  even  dimmed  the  brightness 
of  some  brilliant  remarks  which  had 
been  sparkling  all  through  the  night 
from  others." 

The  "exquisitely  tinted  and  printed 
menu  cards"  (several  copies  of  which 
are  lovingly  preserved  in  University 
Archives),  besides  detailing  the  bill  of 
fare,  listed  no  less  than  sixteen  sched- 
uled speakers,  nine  of  whom  were 
alumnae  speaking  for  their  individual 
classes,  from  1893  to  1901.  Others 
included  Governor  Aycock,  State 
Superintendent  Joyner,  the  Mayor  of 
Greensboro,  and  some  trustees. 

There  can  be  little  doubt  that  those 
who  were  there  on  May  27,  1902,  and 
the  additional  thousands  who  read 
accounts  of  the  1902  commencement 
activities  were  satisfied  that  the 
Normal  was  now  well  launched 
toward  a  splendid  future.  Indeed, 
now  after  ten  years,  it  could  even 
begin  to  speak  of  a  splendid  past. 

The  school  had  oversome  the 
hostility  of  skeptics  and  peevish 
critics,  and  it  had  vindicated  the 
admiration  of  its  friends.  A  surpris- 
ingly strong  faculty  had  been  assem- 
bled; an  impressive  plant  had  some- 
how been  coaxed  into  being  despite 
the  general  assembly's  parsimony;  a 
strong  normal  school  program  was 
now  producing  a  dependable  supply 
of  well-trained  teachers;  it  had  set  in 
motion  a  productive  network  of 
teachers'  institutes  across  the  state 
and  now  on  its  own  campus;  by  1902 
its  graduates  —  fully  two-thirds  of 
whom  were  or  had  been  actively 
engaged  in  teaching  —  were  instruct- 
ing more  than  100,000  children,  most 
of  them  in  country  public  schools; 
and,  said  the  proud  president,  "in 
nearly  every  leading  city  from 
Greensboro  to  Boston  representatives 
of  the  State  Normal  and  Industrial 
College  can  be  found  working  as 


teachers,    students,    stenographers, 
bookkeepers,  or  trained  nurses." 

The  students  had  come  from  all  of 
the  ninety-seven  counties  of  the  state, 
Mclver  boasted,  and  "we  have  had 
every  type  of  respectable  woman  in 
North  Carolina,  from  the  one  who 
has  enjoyed  the  privileges  which 
money  and  social  position  can  give, 
to  the  girl  who  was  never  on  a  rail- 
road train  until  she  boarded  it  for 
Greensboro."  He  thought  it  worth 
mentioning,  too,  that  many  of  the 
student  marshals,  selected  by  their 
classmates  for  their  charm  and  refine- 
ment and  leadership  qualities,  came 
from  severely  modest  social  back- 
grounds and  were,  in  many  cases, 
working  their  way  through  school 
with  dining  hall  jobs  and  even  more

with  special  pride,  as  if  he  were 
speaking  in  1983:  "This  institution 
undertakes  to  emphasize  in  e\ery 
legitimate  way  that  any  system  of 
education  which  refuses  to  recognize 
the  equal  educational  rights  of 
women  with  those  of  men  is  unjust, 
unwise,  and  permanently  hurtful."

Nation's  Sixth  Best  in  Phys  Ed 

A  recent  study  of  physical 
education  graduate  programs 
ranked  UNC-G's  sixth  in  the 
nation  on  the  basis  of  its  quality 
of  graduate  faculty.  UNC-G  is  the 
only  Southeastern  college  or 
university  ranked  in  the  top  ten. 

The  graduate  programs 
preceding  the  University  in  the 
study  —  which  appeared  in  a  re- 
cent issue  of  Research  Quarterly 
for  Exercise  and  Sport  —  were 
universities  with  larger  enroll- 
ments. In  order  of  rank,  they  were 
Pennsyhania  State,  Ohio  State, 
University  of  Illinois,  University  of 
Wisconsin,  and  University  of 
Oregon.  With  the  only  physical 
education  doctoral  program  in  North 
Carolina,  UNC-G  was  the  only 
school  in  the  state  listed  in  the  top 
twenty. 

Dr.  Richard  Swanson,  dean  of 
the  School  of  Health,  Physical 
Education,  Recreation,  and  Dance, 
warned  that  improved  physical 
facilities  are  necessary  to  maintain 
this  glittering  reputation  through 
the  1980s.  Coleman  and  Rosenthal 
gymnasiums  were  built  for  a  cam- 
pus of  3,000  students  instead  of 
the  10,000  now  enrolled.  UNC-G 
has  requested  $13.6  million  from 
the  state  to  build  a  Physical 
Activities  Complex. 

Approximately  seventy  doctoral 
students  are  presently  enrolled  in 
the  physical  education  program. 
Over  the  last  five  years,  the 
University  awarded  fifty-six  doc- 
torates in  the  physical  education 
program,  which  has  traditionally 
attracted  students  within  and 
beyond  North  Carolina.  ■ 


Real  Dough 

From  now  on,  graduate  students 
studying  portfolio  management  at 
the  University  will  have  some 
money  to  play  around  with,  and  it 
won't  be  Monopoly  money  either. 

Thanks  to  a  $10,000  endowed 
gift  from  Greensboro  businessman 
Michael  Weaver,  the  students  will 
use  real  money  in  making  invest- 
ment decisions. 

In  the  class,  which  will  be 
offered  through  the  master  of 
business  administration  degree 
program  this  fall,  student  commit- 
tees will  be  formed  for  the  pur- 
pose of  research,  investment  deci- 
sions, and  monitoring  portfolios. 
Results  will  be  critiqued  by  the 
professor  teaching  the  class. 

Dr.  David  Shelton  of  the  School 
of  Business  and  Economics  at 
UNC-G  says  the  use  of  real  money 
rather  than  simulations  "makes 
the  students  far  more  serious  and 
careful  about  what  they  are  doing 
with  the  investments."  With  a 
chuckle,  he  added,  "While  what 
our  students  do  with  the  invest- 
ments in  this  particular  course  is 
very  important,  making  a  profit 
with  the  money  is  not  a  require- 
ment for  an  A  in  the  course." 

Weaver,  who  is  president  of  W. 
H.  Weaver  Construction  Com- 
pany, said  he  made  the  gift 
because  he  remembered  the  value 
of  a  similar  course  he  had  in  col- 
lege. "It  took  the  course  out  of 
the  realm  of  the  theoretical  and 
put  it  into  the  practical  world,"  he 
said.  Although  Weaver  is  not  an 
alumnus  of  the  UNC-G  business 
program.  Dr.  Shelton  notes  that 
he  has  helped  to  improve  the  pro- 
gram on  several  occasions.  ■ 


Cover  Story 

"Philip  Pearlstein  is  considered 
by  art  critics  to  be  one  of  the 
most  important  and  influential 
artists  of  the  twentieth  century." 

So  states  the  dust  jacket  of  a 
new  book  from  Watson-Guptill 
Publication,  The  Painting  and 
Teaching  of  Philip  Pearlstein,  by 
Jerome  Viola.  Featured  on  the 


cover  in  full  color  is  the  painting, 
"Female  Model  in  Red  Robe,"  an 
oil  on  canvas  work  owned  by 
UNC-G's  Weatherspoon  Art 
Gallery.  The  gallery  purchased  the 
painting  in  1972  with  funds 
donated  by  Burlington  Industries. 

The  visual  exposure  the  book 
will  receive  in  bookshops, 
libraries,  galleries,  and  private 
homes  will  increase  the  familiarity 
of  the  painting  in  the  public  eye, 
having  the  positive  side  effect  of

Dialing  for  Dollars 

For  twenty  nights  this  winter, 
University  students,  faculty,  staff 
and  alumni  huddled  around  tele- 
phones in  the  Horseshoe  Room  of 
the  Alumni  House,  where  they 
dialed  8,230  alumni  to  ask  for 
contributions  to  University  Annual 
Giving.  Pledges  resulting  from  the 
telephone  requests  during  this 
year's  phonothon  totaled 
$109,119.87.  This  amount  marks 
the  third  consecutive  year  the 
phonothon  topped  $100,000  in

pledges.  Over  one-half  of  the 
alumni  called  promised  a  contrir 
bution. 

Student  participation  at  the  tele- 
phones was  at  an  all-time  high  this 
year,  according  to  Gaye  Barbour, 
coordinator  of  University  Annual 
Giving.  Eighteen  student  organi- 
zations were  responsible  for  raising 
$66,000,  or  61  per  cent  of  the 
total.  Residential  College  students 
raised  the  most  of  any  student 
group  with  over  $18,300  in 
pledges. 

Alumni,  faculty,  staff,  and 
friends  manning  the  phones 
accounted  for  $30,847,  or  28  per 
cent  of  this  year's  total.  Dott 
Matthews  Lowe  '43  sat  at  the 
phones  all  twenty  nights  and 
raised  over  $22,000  in  pledges. 
During  the  past  five  years,  she  has 
been  responsible  for  $82,000  in 
pledges.  Her  husband,  John, 
served  as  the  phonothon's  official 
"accountant"  again  this  year. 

Corporate  matching  gifts  repre- 
sent the  remaining  $12,621,  or  11 
per  cent  of  the  total.  ■ 


BACCHUS  and  Booze 

The  group  calls  itself 
BACCHUS  after  the  mythological 
god  of  wine  and  revelry,  but  the 
letters  of  this  elongated  acronym 
convey  its  real  purpose:  Boost 
Alcohol  Consciousness  Concerning 
the  Health  of  University  Students. 

The  national  group  seeks  to 
educate  students  about  the  prob- 
lems that  arise  from  excessive 
drinking.  Stacy  Smith,  a  senior 
from  Sanford  and  the  president  of 
the  University's  chapter,  explains, 
"We  don't  advocate  abstinence. 
What  we  really  want  to  get  across 
is  the  idea  that  students  should  be 
responsible  in  their  drinking." 

Stacy  was  elected  the  regional 
director  of  BACCHUS,  and 
UNC-G  serves  as  the  host  school 
for  the  ten-state  Southeast  region. 

To  inform  students  about 
responsible  drinking,  the  Univer- 
sity's BACCHUS  chapter  partici- 
pated in  Alcohol  Awareness  Week 
held  last  fall.  They  conduct 
monthly  meetings  and  have 


pamphlets  on  mixing  non-alcoholic 
beverages  and  throwing  a  success- 
ful party  without  booze.  This 
spring  they  hosted  a  state  conven- 
tion of  existing  and  prospective 
BACCHUS  chapters. 

The  rise  of  BACCHUS  is  one 
response  to  the  alcohol  abuse  on 
the  UNC-G  campus  which  prompt- 
ed the  administration  to  institute 
new  dorm  policies  and  educational 
programs  two  years  ago.  Besides 
BACCHUS,  other  resources  on 
campus  available  to  students  with 
a  drinking  problem  are  Al-Anon, 
the  Student  Health  Center,  and 
the  Counseling  Office.  An  Alcohol 
Referral  Program  began  in  March.  ■ 


Commencement  Speaker 

With  an  address  entitled 
"Trends:  Mega,  Mini,  and  Mine," 
Dr.  Barbara  Uehling  will  be  the 
featured  speaker  at  UNC-G's  91st 
commencement  exercises. 

Dr.  Uehling  is  chancellor  of  the 
University  of  Missouri  at  Colum- 
bia. A  board  member  of  the 
American  Council  on  Education 
and  The  Carnegie  Foundation  for 
the  Advancement  of  Teaching,  she 
is  a  past  president  of  the 
American  Association  for  Higher 
Education. 

The  commencement  exercises 
begin  at  10:30  a.m.  on  Sunday, 
May  15,  in  the  Greensboro 
Coliseum.  ■ 


Mu.sical  Madness  at 
Cardboard  Concert 

The  highlight  of  Jim  Gallucci's 
design  class  each  semester  is  the 
presentation  of  students'  projects 
—  in  the  past,  furniture,  rolling 
vehicles,  flying  objects  — made  en- 
tirely of  cardboard  (with  a  little 
help  from  masking  tape,  glue,  and 
string).  This  year's  challenge  was 
to  design  a  musical  instrument 
able  to  withstand  a  three-minute 
concert  and  having  at  least  three 
discernible  notes. 

The  student  designers  took  on 
the  challenge  with  creative  flair, 
though  few  had  (or  needed)  a 
musical  background.  Cardboard 
drums,  panpipes,  banjos  (one 
inventive  student  even  made  his 
own  cardboard  case),  horns, 
glockenspiels,  and  dulcimers  were 
plucked,  stroked,  blown,  and 
tapped  at  the  class  presentation  on 
March  16th.  The  event  concluded 
with  a  grand,  though  discordant, 
finale. 

The  Alumni  News  pick  for  the 
most  creative  cardboard  instru- 
ment design  was  Reginald  Thomp- 
son's music  box.  The  Wilmington 
sophomore  crafted  cardboard 
"records"  having  raised  tabs  that 
plucked  melodic  (?)  keys  when 
pulled  through  the  device.  ■

to  the  untrained  ear.

How  the  Ball  Bounced 


by  Ty  Buckner  '84 

Sports  Information  Director 


In  the  course  of  a  season,  every 
basketball  team  has  its  ups  and  its 
downs.  Big  victories  worth  celebrat- 
ing and  disheartening  losses  that  leave 
players  and  coaches  frustrated  are  to 
be  expected  every  year. 

The  teams  that  weather  the  good 
times  and  bad  times  of  the  season, 
constantly  working  to  improve  their 
performance,  will  usually  achieve  a 
good  measure  of  success.  That  was 
the  case  for  the  basketball  teams  at 
the  University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Greensboro  during  the  1982-83 
season. 

Neither  team  had  a  particularly  im- 
pressive won-lost  record  or  advanced 
very  far  in  post-season  playoff  com- 
petition, but  both  teams  can  look 
back  on  the  recent  campaign  with 
satisfaction.  In  many  ways,  it  was  a 
very  good  year  for  UNC-G  basket- 
ball. 

Under  first-year  head  coach  Ed 
Douma,  the  men's  basketball  team 
compiled  a  16-9  overall  record  and  a 
10-4  mark  for  third  place  in  the 
regular  season  Dixie  Conference  race. 
The  Spartans  were  upset  in  the  first 
round  of  the  conference  tournament, 
concluding  their  season. 

For  a  while,  it  looked  as  if  1982-83 
might  be  the  best  year  ever  for  the 
men's  squad.  When  UNC-G  defeated 
nationally  third-ranked  St.  Andrews 
Presbyterian  College  72-69  at  home 
on  January  25,  the  team's  record 
stood  11-4  overall  and  6-0  in  con- 
ference play. 

During  the  first  two  months  of  the 
season  UNC-G  posted  wins  in  five  of 
seven  non-conference  games  against 
NAIA  teams  with  scholarship  players 
and  reeled  off  victories  in  six  of  its 
other  eight  outings.  It  certainly  was 
the  best  start  for  a  men's  basketball 
team  at  the  University. 


But  over  the  last  month  of  the 
campaign  the  Spartans  notched  five 
wins  and  five  losses,  ending  with  a 
disappointing  88-77  setback  at  home 
to  Christopher  Newport  College  in 
the  conference  tournament. 

There  were  two  notable  games  for 
the  men's  team  in  February, 
however.  UNC-G  defeated  Appa- 
lachian State  University  58-54  in 
Boone,  only  the  second  victory  over 
a  Division  I  member  in  the  program's 
history;  UNC-G  and  the  other  Dixie 
Conference  schools  are  affiliated  with 
the  NCAA's  Division  III.  In  addi- 
tion, the  Spartans  battled  St. 
Andrews  to  the  wire  at  Laurinburg 
before  dropping  a  60-58  decision  to 
the  conference  champion  Knights. 

Senior  guard/forward  Esker 
Tatum  of  Trenton,  NJ,  who  led  the 
team  in  scoring  at  16.2  points  per 
game,  was  named  first-team  All- 
Dixie  Conference  and  first-team  All- 
District  (South  Region)  in  Division 
III.  Senior  center  Kelvin  Huggins  of 
Green  Cove  Springs,  FL,  paced  the 
squad  in  rebounding  with  9.0  re- 
bounds per  game  and  was  named 
second-team  All-Conference.  Hug- 
gins  also  contributed  13.4  points  per 
game. 


Blazevich 
All-America 

Junior  center 
Michele  Blazevich 
of  Sterling,  VA, 
was  named  to  the 
Kodak  All-Amer- 
ica Team  by  the 
Women's  Basket- 
ball Coaches  Asso- 
ciation of  America  in  March. 

Blazevich,  one  of  ten  players 
selected  for  the  honor  in  the  Small 
College  Division,  is  only  the  second 
UNC-G  woman  athlete  ever  chosen 
first  team  All-America. 


Two  other  seniors,  forward  Hubert 
Mitchell  of  Orange,  NJ,  and  guard 
Chris  Sloan  of  Maplewood,  NJ,  also 
closed  their  UNC-G  cage  careers 
impressively.  Mitchell  averaged  11.2 
points  per  game,  while  Sloan  added 
9.3  points  per  game  and  led  the  team 
in  assists. 

"We  had  hoped  for  a  better  show- 
ing in  the  conference  tournament  and 
possibly  an  invitation  for  post-season 
play,"  Douma  said  after  his  initiating 
season  at  the  helm  of  the  Spartans 
was  over.  "However,  it  was  a  good 
season  and  now  we  can  look  back 
and  see  that  we  had  some  great  wins. 

"I  am  really  pleased  with  the  way 
my  first  year  at  UNC-G  went,"  he 
added.  "All  of  the  players  on  the 
team  had  good  attitudes  and  we  got 
some  great  leadership  from  our 
seniors.  They  are  mature  people  with 
good  attitudes  about  life,  and  that's 
more  important  than  basketball." 

For  the  women's  basketball  team, 
the  1982-83  season  was  marked  by 
ups  and  downs.  As  the  season  began, 
only  one  key  player  was  missing  (by 
graduation)  from  the  Lady  Spartan 
team  that  finished  runner-up  in  the 
NCAA  Division  III  Championship 
tournament  in  1982.  Expectations  for 
similar  success  were  high. 

But  during  the  campaign  several 
other  players  were  lost  to  injury  prob- 
lems, and  that  hindered  the  squad  in 
its  quest  for  another  shot  at  the 
national  title.  Overcoming  the 
obstacles,  UNC-G  compiled  a  solid 
21-7  overall  record  and  repeated  as 
Dixie  Conference  champion,  with  an 
ll-l  regular  season  league  record. 

The  Lady  Spartans  were  ranked 
among  the  top  ten  teams  in  Division 
III  all  season  and  held  the  No. 5 
national  ranking  in  the  final  poll. 
UNC-G  hosted  the  South  Regional  of

(TN)  College  74-71  in  the  first  round. 
In  the  regional  consolation  game  the 
Lady  Spartans  toppled  Rust  College 
of  Holly  Springs,  MS,  68-61. 

After  posting  a  5-2  record  in  pre- 
Christmas  play,  UNC-G  returned 
from  the  break  and  won  eight  con- 
secutive games  in  convincing  fashion. 
But  the  team  then  dropped  three  of 
its  next  four  outings,  including  a 
77-74  decision  at  St.  Andrews  Col- 
lege. That  setback  marked  the  only 
Dixie  Conference  loss  for  UNC-G  in 
the  past  two  years. 

The  Lady  Spartans  recorded  vic- 
tories in  four  of  their  final  five 
regular  season  games  and  swept 
through  the  conference  tournament 
with  wide-margin  wins  over  St. 
Andrews  and  Virginia  Wesleyan 
College. 

Junior  center  Michele  Blazevich  of 
Sterling,  VA,  paced  the  team  in  scor- 


ing, averaging  14.8  points  per  game. 
She  was  joined  in  double-figure  scor- 
ing by  sophomore  guard  Wendy 
Engelmann  of  Manassas,  VA,  who 
averaged  12  points  per  game;  senior 
forward  Marie  Cawley  of  Scranton, 
PA,  11.9  ppg;  and  sophomore  for- 
ward Sherry  Sydney  of  Fayetteville, 
10.9  ppg.  Sydney  missed  the  last  eight 
games  with  a  knee  injury. 

Jody  Mangus,  a  senior  forward  of 
Burlington,  NJ,  played  in  only  ten 
games,  due  to  a  knee  injury  suffered 
in  the  team's  season  opener.  Mangus 
finished  her  career  at  UNC-G  as  the 
second-leading  scorer  in  the  history 
of  the  women's  program. 

Sophomore  Renee  Coltrane  of 
Colfax,  a  forward,  led  the  squad  in 
rebounding  at  ten  rebounds  per  con- 
test. Blazevich  added  nine  rebounds 
per  game,  while  Sydney  chipped  in 
7.5  rpg. 

Blazevich  was  a  first-team  All- 
Conference  selection;  Coltrane  and 


Sydney  were  named  to  the  second 
team.  Cawley  was  the  Most  Valuable 
Player  of  the  conference  tournament 
and  she  was  joined  on  the  All- 
Tournament  team  by  Blazevich  and 
sophomore  guard  Brenda  Tolbert  of 
Willis,  VA.  Engelmann  was  the  only 
Lady  Spartan  named  to  the  All-South 
Regional  team. 

"At  the  beginning  of  the  year  we 
said  we  wanted  to  repeat  our  bid  for 
the  national  championship,"  said 
second-year  head  coach  Lynne  Agee. 
"We  felt  our  chances  were  good  since 
we  had  all  but  one  key  player  back." 

"But  winning  a  national  title  re- 
quires talent,  experience,  and  some 
luck,"  she  added.  "And  with  the  in- 
juries we  had,  I  don't  think  we  were 
very  lucky  this  year." 

UNC-G,  which  is  46-10  in  two 
seasons  under  Coach  Agee,  will 
return  a  solid  core  of  veterans  and 
should  be  in  contention  for  national 
honors  again  in  1983-84.  ■

EUC  is  Thirty 


It  happened  once  .  .  .  and  it's  happen- 
ing again.  Red  Skelton,  comedian/art- 
ist/composer/mime helps  Elliott  Uni- 
versity Center  celebrate  its  birthday  — 
this  time,  its  thirtieth  —  with  a  campus 
visit  and  a  Greensboro  performance. 
Skelton  charmed  the  University  five 
years  ago  at  EUC's  silver  jubilee  and 
returns  this  year  for  birthday  festivities 
and  a  mini-exhibit  of  his  own  art. 

Elliott  University  Center  opened  its 
doors  in  1953  (sans  one  wing)  to  the 
tune  of  $780,000.  It  was  a  place,  as 
EUC's  first  president,  Anne  Ford  Geis 
'54,  wrote  in  Alumni  News,  "where 
education  gained  in  the  classroom  could 
be  extended  and  coordinated  with  the 
extracurricular." 

Elvira  Prondecki  was  its  first  direc- 
tor. She  served  as  EUC's  construction 
supervisor,  landscape  architect,  interior 
designer,  business  manager,  mainte- 
nance staff,  secretan.',  receptionist,  and 
tour  guide.  "Our  wish  for  the  building 
is  that  it  serves  to  the  fullest  measure 
in  promoting  student  social  and  cultural 
life,"  Miss  Pron  said  following  her 
appointment  in  1952. 

Katherine  Taylor  became  dean  of 
students  and  director  of  Elliott  Hall  (as 
the  building  was  called  until  1974)  just 
when  Woman's  College  became  the 
University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Greensboro.  Student  programming  was 
adjusted  under  Dean  Taylor's  guidance 
to  meet  the  social  and  cultural  needs  of 
a  co-educational  institution.  Thus  began 
the  era  of  the  big  concert  that  brought 


The  familiar  three  bars  of  the  EUC  logo  take

building's  thirtieth  birthday. 


popular  music  groups  to  campus. 
During  Dean  Taylor's  administration, 
a  new  wing  was  added  to  the  building, 
and  such  traditions  as  the  luminaires 
and  the  Moravian  Love  Feast  were 
begun. 

EUC  was  in  the  vision  of  its  pro- 
gressive namesake,  Harriet  Wiseman 
Elliott,  dean  of  women  from  1935  un- 
til her  death  in  1947.  She  had  come  to 
UNC-G  in  1913  to  teach  history  and 
political  science,  having  been  inspired 
by  suffrage  leader  Anna  Howard  Shaw 
at  Columbia  University.  Miss  Elliott 
spread  the  influence  of  her  strong  con- 
viction for  responsible  freedom  both  on 
campus  —  by  directing  the  development 
of  the  student  government  program  in 
1915,  and  off  campus  —  by  serving  as 
an  advisor  to  President  Franklin  D. 
Roosevelt  during  World  War  II. 


Harriet  Elliott's  philosophy  is  cast  in 
bronze:  "People,  not  systems,  are 
important."  It  and  her  portrait  greet 
visitors  at  the  College  Avenue  entrance 
of  EUC  and  serve  as  a  monument  to 
Miss  Elliott's  belief  in  a  balanced 
education,  her  dedication  to  student  life 
enrichment,  and  her  commitment  to  co- 
curricular  programming. 

Enter  Red  Skelton.  The  repeat  visit 
of  this  stellar  performer  is  a  measure 
of  the  quality  of  student  programming 
EUC  attracts  and  maintains.  The  coor- 
dination of  the  academic  with  the  enter- 
taining has  served  to  educate  and  nur- 
ture UNC-G  students  since  the  Univer- 
sity's beginnings,  but  was  enhanced  by 
centralization  thirty  years  ago  in  the 
Elliott  University  Center.  "In  addition 
to  this  birthday  celebration,"  said  Cliff 
Lowery  EdD  '78,  dean  of  student 
development  and  programs,  "the  staff 
and  students  at  EUC  are  rededicating 
ourselves  to  present  the  kind  of  out- 
standing programs  which  have  been  so 
much  a  part  of  Elliott  Center  through 
the  years." 

Student-based  programming  is 
coordinated  by  the  EUC  Council,  a 
body  of  energetic  students  who,  last 
year,  directed  600-1-  activities  for 
82,000-1-  participants.  Council  Pres- 
ident Bill  Murray  acknowledges  the 
hard  work  these  unpaid  student  lead- 
ers contribute  —  more  than  11,000 
hours  last  year  —  to  the  social  and 
cultural  benefit  of  the  University  and 
the  community.  M 


/950s:  The  patio  behind  Elliott  —  as  seen  from 
the  terrace  of  the  Alumni  House —  was  a  place 
to  congregate  between  classes  with  other  H  .C. 
students.  The  area  later  became  Taylor  Garden 
in  honor  of  Dean  Katherine  Taylor. 


Red  Skelton'\  wii  a\  a  comedian  was  docu- 
mented in  twenty  years  of  television  and  more 
than  thirty  motion  pictures.  But  his  warmth  as 
a  humanitarian  was  evident  to  all  who  met  him 
here  five  years  ago  at  Elliott 's  25th. 


1980s:  EVC  programming  emphasizes  activity, 
but  the  building  offers  space  for  quiet  relax- 
ation as  well.  This  is  a  typical  between-class 
scene  in  the  lobby  between  Sharpe  and  Mclver 
lounges  on  the  second  floor.

Alumni  House  lately  for  a  very  special  purpose.  She 
is  the  Chair  of  the  North  Carolina  Alumni/Parents/ 
Friends  Division  of  Prospectus  111,  UNC-G's  first 
comprehensive  campaign  for  private  support.  With  a 
campaign  goal  of  $12  milhon,  Lou  knows  that  the 
success  of  the  Alumni/Parents/F'riends  Division  will 
be  vital  to  the  success  of  the  total  campaign. 

When  William  E.  Moran  came  to  UNC-G  in 
1979,  the  new  chancellor  initiated  an  in-depth  evalu- 
ation of  the  University  from  which  a  major  gifts 
campaign  could  be  launched.  The  University  was 
dissected  and  explored  in  every  detail.  Resulting  from 
the  inspection  process  was  a  "Gee  Whiz"  list  from 
faculty  and  staff  of  current  University  needs.  These 
were  pared  down  to  five  high-priority  categories,  and 
each  was  assigned  a  campaign  goal: 

•  Faculty  Development  $4,000,000 

•  Student  Development  3,000,000 

•  University  Enrichment  750,000 

•  Art  Center  3,500,000 

•  Equipment  750,000 
Then  a  Hurry  of  activity  began.  Plans  for  Pros- 

ectus  III  were  mapped,  divisions  organized,  support 
materials  produced,  calendars  marked,  potential 
benefactors  identified,  details  confirmed  .  .  .  Months 
of  work  have  all  come  down  to  Lou  Frye's  phase  of 
the  campaign  to  solicit  support  from  North  Carolina 
alumni,  parents,  and  friends.  Other  divisions,  now  in 
place,  are  meeting  with  success  in  specialized  sectors 
for  corporate  and  personal  solicitation.  Later,  Emily 
Harris  Preyer  '39  will  direct  a  national  campaign  out- 
side NC  borders.  Lou,  who  coordinates  her  activities 
under  National  Vice  Chair  Gladys  Strawn  Bullard 
'39,  knows  that  this  special  opportunity  to  alumni, 
parents,  and  friends  will  make  the  greatest  difference 
in  UNC-G's  future. 

Lou  Frye  won't  be  alone.  She  has  asked 
volunteers  in  each  of  the  NC  alumni  districts  to  help 
her.  The  Districts  Chairs,  in  turn,  have  asked  for 
assistance  from  county  leaders.  County  Chairs  have 
asked  for  the  aid  of  local  workers.  Within  this  "grass 
roots"  structure,  the  NC  Alumni/Parents/Friends 
Division  will  host  area  receptions  this  October  that 
will  officially  initiate  the  local  campaigns.  Then  the

An  Educated  Pen  — When  Sallle 

Carroll  Park  '58  took  her  first  letter- 
ing class  at  UNC-G,  she  was  pursuing 
an  interest  she  had  since  she  was  thir- 
teen when  she  received  a  Speedball 
lettering  kit  for  Christmas.  For  several 
years  after  graduation,  her  calligraphy 
was  just  a  hobby.  She  used  it  to  design 
the  family's  Christmas  cards.  The  lure 
of  the  pens  and  drawing  board, 
however,  was  strong.  Two  years  ago, 
she  started  Ways  with  Words,  her  own 
calligraphy  business  in  Elkin.  Because 
she  uses  extensive  drawings  and  illumi- 
nations in  her  work,  her  style  of 
calligraphy  is  unusual;  her  business  is 
thriving.  Among  other  assignments, 
she  has  been  commissioned  to  design 
a  family  tree  that  includes  300  names. 
Sallie  recalls:  "As  a  senior  in  1958,  I 
remember  Mr.  Ivy  lamenting  that  all 
he  did  was  educate  women  for  them 
to  get  married  and  not  to  use  their 
education.  1  would  like  for  him  to 
know  that  1  am  finally  using  my 
education  —  after  raising  three 
children."

forms.  She  is  also  fond  of  making

ComeBack 

Whether  you  will  travel  by  car,  plane, 
bus,  train,  or  balloon  to  come  for  this 
year's  Alumni  Reunion  Weekend,  it 
is  time  to  make  your  reservations  and 
finalize  your  plans.  To  make  sure 
that  everyone  has  noted  the  dates,  we 
keep  repeating  them:  lucky  Friday, 
May  13th,  and  Saturday  following. 
(The  University's  Graduation  Exer- 
cises will  be  Sunday  the  15th.) 

The  classes  of  1923,  1928,  1933, 
1938,  1943,  1946  Commercial,  1948, 
1953,  1958,  1963,  1968,  1973,  and 
1978  will  have  reunions  of  varying 
sorts.  Members  of  the  classes  of  1913 
and  1918  are  especially  invited  as 
well.  All  alumni  —  whether  or  not 
their  classes  are  having  planned 
reunions  —  are  invited  to  the  mid- 
May  COMEBACK  to  the  University 
at  Greensboro. 

The  first  thing  to  do  when  you 
arrive  on  campus  is  to  check-in  at  the 
Alumni  House.  Registration  is 
scheduled  from  10  a.m.  to  10  p.m.  on 
Friday  and  from  8  a.m.  until  noon  on 
Saturday.  Do-it-yourself  reminiscing 
on  campus  and  in  the  surrounding 
neighborhood  will  be  an  afternoon 
focus  on  Friday  and  Saturday. 

Open  Centers 

A  special  invitation  is  being  ex- 
tended to  alumni  this  year  —  for  the 
first  time  during  Reunion  Weekend 

—  to  visit  the  campus  religious 
denominational  centers.  From  2  to  4 
on  both  Friday  and  Saturday  after- 
noons the  Baptist  Student  Center,  the 
Presbyterian  House,  St.  Mary's 
House,  and  the  Wesley-Luther  House 

—  all  within  walking  distance  of  the 
Alumni  House  —  will  have  Open 
House  for  alumni. 


Room  assignments  and  keys  will  be 
distributed  at  4  on  Friday  in  the 
Alumni  House  to  those  who  make 
preliminary  reservations  for  campus 
housing  for  Friday  and/or  Saturday 
nights.  An  Alumni  Buffet  Dinner  in 
North  Dining  Hall  from  6  to  7:30  on 
Friday  will  be  preceded  by  a  Punch 
Party  and  followed  by  a  Dessert 
Buffet,  both  in  the  Alumni  House. 

Reunion  partying  and  visiting  — 
generally  between  8  and  10  -i-  —  will 
be  Friday  evening's  entertainment. 
Each  reunioning  class  will  have  an 
on-campus  site  for  its  get-together  so 
that  later-comers  may  quickly  and 
conveniently  join  in  the  partying. 

Major  Breakfasts 

Alumni  who  majored  in  health- 
physical  education-recreation-dance, 
in  home  economics,  and  in  nursing 
are  invited  to  Major  Breakfasts  on 
Saturday  morning.  The  HPERD 
Alumni  Breakfast  at  the  Hihon  Inn 
is  a  tradition.  The  Home  Economics 
Breakfast  (also  at  the  Hilton)  and  the 
Nursing  Breakfast  (in  the  Dogwood 
Room  in  Elliott  Center)  will  —  hope- 
fully—  become  traditions  after  this 
year.  Everyone  else  is  invited  for 
Continental  Breakfast  in  the  Alumni 
House. 

This  Year's  Meeting 

The  Annual  Meeting  of  the 
Alumni  Association  —  in  the  Mass 
Meeting  format  of  bygone  days  — 
will  begin  in  Aycock  Auditorium  at 
10:15  on  Saturday  morning.  The 
results  of  the  1983  Associational

Service  Awards  will  be  presented. 
The  Class  of  1933  will  be  honored;

Gift  to  the  University. 

At  assigned  sites  between  Aycock

Meeting  and  preceding  the  Reunion 
Brunch/Lunch  which  will  be  served 
in  Cone  Ballroom  from  1 1 :30  until  1 . 

As  noted  earlier,  campus  religious 
denominational  centers  will  be  open 
from  2  to  4  on  Saturday  afternoon. 


A  Year-Old  Tradition

.  .  .  .Miss  Clara  Byrd  wrote,  "The  dogwood  and  the  redbud  are 
blooming  on  the  campus  now  —  it's  April.  The  iris  is  standing  at 
attention  around  the  circle  in  front  of  Administration  Building, 
like  little  blue  soldiers  on  dress  parade.  And  the  occasional  whiff 
of  lilac  coming  in  through  the  office  and  classroom  windows  has 
a  terribly  disturbing  effect!  .  .  .Treason!  —  finals  are  just  six  scant 
weeks  away.  And  it's  me,  it's  me,  O  Lord,  standing  in  the  need 
of  prayer." 

.  .  .  Notable  among  events  held  in  the  six-year-old  Aycock 
Auditorium  were  Lawrence  Tibbett,  baritone  with  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  Company,  who  obliged  his  gracious  audience  with  six 
encores,  and  Drew  Pearson,  co-editor  of  Washington  Merry-Go- 
Round,  who  discussed  "intimate  doings  'behind  the  scenes'  at  the 
Capitol." 

.  .  .  The  quality  point  system  would  be  in  effect  beginning  with  1  ^  ^' 

the  entering  class  of  fall  1933.  A  student  would  be  required  to  earn  §  ^  & 

204  quahty  points  with  a  minimum  of  120  semester  hours  in  order  "^  13  '^ 

to  graduate.  ^  ^ 

.  .  .  The    1933    commencement   speaker   was   announced.    310  ^  g 

graduates  (the  largest  class  in  the  history  of  the  College)  would  K  ^ 

hear  the  address  by  Kentucky  Senator  Alben  W.  Barkley  in  Aycock  "^  ^ 

Auditorium.  a 

.  .  .  Published  were  the  results  of  a  questionnaire  prepared  by  the  ^ 

Residence  Department  regarding  students'  social  lives:  "By  com- 
paring the  number  of  dates  which  a  girl  had  during  the  year  with 
her  grades  for  the  same  length  of  time,  the  questionnaire  showed 
that  there  is  no  relationship  whatever  between  them.  For  instance, 
the  girl  who  had  the  largest  number  of  dates  last  year — 148,  or 
an  average  of  four  a  week,  made  an  average  grade  of  B.  The  137 
students  who  reported  no  dates  at  all  for  the  year  made  an  average 
grade  of  C.  And  so  it  went.  One  conclusion  would  naturally  be 
that  the  girls  may  as  well  be  allowed  to  have  their  dates."
