University  Update 


Spartan 
Soccer      A 


Intercollegiate  basketball  has  been 
pushed  to  the  rear  momentarily,  but 
the  Spartan  soccer  team  is  forging 
ahead  under  Australian  Geoffrey 
Bird's  coaching.  Bird  foresees  a  good 
year  with  19  games  in  the  fall 
against  such  opponents  as  Duke, 
Carolina  and  the  Citadel. 

UNC-G  competes  in  Division  III 
of  the  NCAA  so  scholarships  cannot 
be  awarded,  but  Bird  is  convinced  a 
good  soccer  program  can  be  built 
without  them.  Funds  are  needed, 
however,  for  uniforms  and  equip- 
ment and  to  cover  travel  costs.  A 
booster  club  has  been  organized  for 
this  purpose.  A  donation  of  $50  or 
more  (tax  deductible)  provides  mem- 
bership in  the  UNC-G  Spartan  Soccer 
Club,  a  gold-colored  jacket  with  the 
Spartan  insignia,  bumper  stickers, 
stationery  and  other  "perks." 

Meanwhile,  fans  are  rallying  'round, 
including  a  group  of  Mecklenburg 
alumni  who  are  organizing  a  kickoff 
breakfast  on  September  8,  followed 
by  an  exhibition  game  in  Charlotte. 
Karen  Deal,  Lydia  Moody  and 
Rosemary  Boney  Neill  are  among 
organizers. 

Glenn  Miller 

The  Big  Band  sound  of  the  Forties 
will  be  heard  on  the  Greensboro  cam- 
pus November  16  when  the  Glenn 
Miller  Orchestra  plays  in  Cone  Ball- 
room. A  formal  ball  for  alumni, 
students,  faculty  and  friends  will  be 
sponsored  by  the  Alumni  Association, 
University  Concert/Lecture  Series 
and  other  campus  organizations. 
Look  for  full  details  in  the  Septem- 
ber University  Bulletin. 


Graduates  Survey        hew 


Nobody  likes  to  fill  out  question- 
naires, but  everybody  is  interested  in 
the  results— at  least,  that's  the  con- 
sensus of  a  University  survey  of 
Spring  1977  graduates.  In  fact,  one 
respondent  asked  that  the  results  be 
published  in  fair  detail  in  the  Alumni 
News,  which  we  plan  to  do  in  the 
fall  issue. 

Alumni  financed  the  questionnaire 
through  the  gifts  to  Alumni  Annual 
Giving  last  year.  The  Office  of  In- 
stitutional Research  has  completed 
preliminary  analyses  which  show 
that  over  three-fourths  of  the  gradu- 
ates are  working.  Half  of  these  are 
highly  satisfied  with  their  jobs,  but 
there  are  more  than  a  few  grumbles 
about  salaries,  benefits  and  advance- 
ment opportunities. 


Student 
Parking 


Students  have  long  enjoyed  unlimited 
parking  on  neighboring  campus  streets, 
but  the  hours  of  such  parking  may 
soon  be  numbered.  On  July  17,  the 
Greensboro  City  Council  considers 
a  Traffic  and  Transportation  proposal 
to  restrict  student  parking — probably 
to  two  hours — on  residential  streets 
near  campus. 

However,  tensions  in  the  acceler- 
ating "space  war"  should  ease  in 
the  future.  The  University  has  asked 
its  Trustees  to  request  $1  million  from 
the  1979  General  Assembly  for  land 
and  to  seek  approval  of  a  $600,000 
loan  to  develop  the  land  into  parking 
lots.  In  addition,  the  city  of  Greens- 
boro plans  to  build  a  400-600  car 
parking  lot  on  Aycock  Street. 


What's  new  with  HEW?  Following 
Secretary  Joseph  Califano's  accept- 
ance on  May  12  of  UNC's  revised 
plan  for  "further  elimination  of  racial 
duality,"  UNC-G  along  with  the  15 
other  campuses  is  preparing  a  plan 
which  spells  out  goals  for  minority 
faculty/staff  recruitment  and  other 
affirmative  action  matters.  The  report 
is  due  in  Chapel  Hill  August  1 .  A 
special  study  of  program  duplication 
among  "geographically  proximate 
institutions"  will  be  completed  by 
December  1 . 


Mclver  II 


A  second  leadership  conference  for 
alumni,  Mclver  Conference  II,  will 
be  held  October  5-6  in  conjunction 
with  Founder's  Day.  The  86th  anni- 
versary of  the  University's  founding 
will  feature  the  traditional  evening 
address  on  October  5,  followed  by 
Falderal  V,  a  weekend  of  campus 
festivities.  The  UNC-G  Theatre  also 
opens  its  season  October  4-8  with 
Hello  Dolly  in  Aycock  Auditorium. 

Confetti 

Who  threw  the  confetti  at  com- 
mencement? Research  has  revealed 
the  propagators  of  this  phenomenon 
were  the  School  of  Nursing  graduates 
who,  overcome  with  joy,  showered 
the  Coliseum  with  real  confetti... the 
New  Year's  Eve  kind... when  their 
school  was  called. 

It  is  rumored  that  disapproval  was 
expressed  in  some  quarters  over 
such  unacademic  behavior,  but  the 
mother  of  one  graduate  thought  it 
was  just  fine.  "It  was  all  very  som-     j 
ber,  then  they  called  out  the  School 
of  Nursing,  and  suddenly  the  air 
was  full  of  what  looked  like  snow. 
They  were  j  ust  overwhelmed ..."

"The  law  students  will  see  that 
justice  is  done;  the  medical 
students  will  see  that  the  sick 
are  healed;  but  the  speech 
students,  with  their  plays  and 
movies,  will  see  about  making 
it  a  nicer  world  to  live  in." 
Edgar  Bergen,  June,  1977 


Acting  Directing  Theatre  —  Kathr>n  Dobson,  an  Iiuliana  native, 
was  equally  interested  in  drama,  music  and  dance.  When  she  won 
a  J.  Spencer  Love  Scholarship  in  drama,  she  discovered  the  art 
of  mime  which  brought  together  both  music  and  movement  in  a 
dramatic  form.  She  has  a  double  major  in  \'oice  and  drama. 


the  Future 


Dr.  John  Lee  Jellicorse 

Department  of  Coninninication  and  Theatre 


It  will  be  a  giant  television  set, 
a  family  computer,  a  telephone,  a 
watchman,  an  ordering  service,  and 
an  archival  access  terminal.  It  will 
show  the  current  news,  an  old  movie, 
a  bank  balance,  the  inventory  of  the 
local  grocery.  It  will  play  a  game  of 
chess  or  provide  instructions  on  the 
care  of  African  violets.  Such  home 
communication  centers  are  currenth- 
under  de\elopment  and  should  be 
in  common  use  by  the  end  of  this 
century.  As  remarkable  as  such  tech- 
nological ad\'ances  are,  howe\er, 
they  are  only  the  most  dramatic  as- 
pects of  a  communication  explosion 
that  is  rapidly  changing  our  society. 

Ours  has  become  a  communication- 
oriented  societ>'.  Identification  of 
and  therapy  for  speech  and  language 
disorders  are  at  a  record  high,  as  is 
concern  for  integration  of  the  hard 
of  hearing  and  deaf  into  the  main- 
stream of  society.  Knowledge  of  and 
skills  in  interpersonal  communication 
are  prized  in  the  commercial  and 
governmental  areas  as  never  before. 
Television  and  controversy  over  tele- 
vision's influence  preoccupy  social 
critics.  While  Broadway  is  in  a 
muddle,  off-Broadway,  community, 
school  and  regional  theatre  flour- 
ishes. The  cable  and  software  revo- 
lution, inherent  in  such  devices  as 
Home  Box  Office  and  the  Betamax, 
is  opening  up  increasing  vistas  for 
communication  artists. 

Through  their  choices  of  majors, 
college  and  university  students  have 
a  way  of  reflecting  important  social 
trends.  Thus,  enrollments  in  com- 
munication programs  are  exploding. 
A  recent  ten-year  projection  of  aca- 
demic enrollments  concluded  that 
there  would  be  continued  expansion 
in  only  two  areas ;  business  and  com- 
munication. Some  institutions,  bas- 
ing their  curricular  decisions  on  such 
projections,  have  increased  and  re- 
allocated resources  to  take  positions 
of  leadership.   At  Northwestern  Uni- 


Broadcasting-Cincma  —  Eddie  Bowen,  ris- 
ing senior  from  Burlington,  discusses  a 
recent  film  project  with  John  Lee  Jelli- 
corse. Although  UNC-G  was  not  Eddie's 
first  choice  (he  had  applied  at  UXC-CH 
for  early  admission),  he  regards  his  enroll- 
ment at  UXC-G  as  providential.  "I  would 
ne\er  ha\e  had  the  wide  variety  of  op- 
portunity and   the   personal   attention   I've 


recei\ed  here,  '  he  sa\s.  Eddie's  interest 
in  films  and  film-making  began  in  high 
school.  He  has  won  a  number  of  awards, 
including  two  top  honors  at  the  N.C.  Film 
Festival.  He  is  at  work  on  a  second  full- 
length  film.  In  addition,  he  teaches  a 
course  in  the  Residential  College  on  the 
De\elopment  of  the  Cinema  under  Jelli- 
corse's  super\ision. 


versity,  for  example,  the  School  of 
Speech  is  academic  home  for  one 
sixth  of  the  students  on  that  campus, 
campus. 

And  where  is  UNC-Greensboro  in 
relation  to  these  developments?  Out 
in  front,  leading.  UNC-G  is  rapidly 
developing  the  strongest  combined 
communication  program  in  the  South. 

"Communication"  is  today  the 
more  accurate  word  to  describe  the 
full  aural,  oral,  and  nonverbal  di- 
mensions of  the  arts  and  sciences  of 
human  communication.  The  human 
communication  discipfines  deal  with 
normal  and  impaired  speech,  langu- 
age, and  hearing;  with  interpersonal 
and  public  communication;  and  with 
communication  and  expression  in 
film,  broadcasting,  and  theatre.  For 
many  years  these  discipfines  were 
organized  nationally  in  departments 
of  speech  and  theatre.   The  trend  to 


change  "Speech"  to  "Communica- 
tion" accelerated  in  the  mid-1970s. 
The  Department  at  UNC-G  followed 
in  1977  when  the  University  ap- 
proved the  name  change  from 
"Drama  and  Speech"  to  "Communi- 
cation and  Theatre." 

Though  the  name  is  changed,  the 
substance  and  basic  direction  remain 
the  same.  Readers  of  the  Alumni 
News  and  followers  of  the  campus 
scene  are  famifiar  with  the  history 
of  the  Department  of  Drama  and 
Speech.  There  was  the  arrival  of  W. 
Raymond  "Teacher"  Taylor  in  1921 
and  the  many  successes  of  his  drama- 
producing  organization,  The  Play- 
Likers.  The  building  of  Aycock 
Auditorium  pro\ided  the  faciHties 
for  increasing  emphasis  on  dramatic 
activity,  acti\ity  culminated  in  19.54 
with  the  establishment  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Drama.    Dr.  Herman  Mid- 


"My  speech  teacher  in  Beaufort 
strongly  recommended  UNC-G. 
I  figured  if  I  couldn't  get  the 
best,  I  would  wait  and  reapply." 


Teacher  Education  —  Laura  Hunter  was 
in  charge  of  costumes  for  a  thesis  pro- 
duction of  "The  Good  Doctor"  in  Decem- 
ber, a  requirement  for  her  major  in 
theatre  arts.  Laura  also  majored  in  Speech 
and  English  to  qualify  for  more  jobs  as  a 
teacher.  "My  speech  teacher  in  Beaufort, 
Kay  Taylor,  strongly  recommended  UNC- 
G.  It  was  the  only  school  where  I  applied. 
I  figured  if  I  couldn't  get  the  best,  I 
would  wait  and  reapply."  She  is  teaching 
drama  in  a  parks  program  this  summer, 
meanwhile,  applying  for  a  teaching  posi- 
tion in  the  secondary  schools. 


Speech  Communication  —  Charlie  Ross 
conducts  an  exercise  in  communication 
with  Robert  Swift  and  Pat  McEntire,  two 
students  in  Basic  Speech.  Charlie,  as  a 
graduate  assistant,  teaches  three  classes  in 
Basic  Speech,  an  elective  required  of  all 
teacher  education  students.  "My  interest  in 
speech  and  drama  began  in  high  school 
and  continued  in  college  at  Appalachian," 
the  Lincolnton  native  says.  She  has  written 
for  professional  journals  such  as  the  North 
Carolina  Speech  and  Drama  Journal,  and 
hopes  to  teach  in  a  small  college  when  she 
receives  her  masters  next  year. 


dleton,  who  came  on  the  scene  in 
1956,  had  by  1961  consolidated  a 
complete  speech  and  theatre  depart- 
ment structured  along  the  lines  of 
similar  programs  in  major  institu- 
tions, such  as  the  University  of  Iowa, 
Louisiana  State  University,  and  the 
University  of  Michigan.  New  degree 
programs  were  added  which  per- 
mitted M.A.  and  M.Ed,  degrees  in 
the  communication  areas  and  the 
state's  first  M.F.A.  in  drama. 

On  March  3,  1967,  the  beautiful 
new  Taylor  Building  was  officially 
dedicated.  At  that  time,  the  Depart- 
ment of  Drama  and  Speech  had  nine 
full-time  faculty,  85  majors,  and 
generated  3,358  regular  session  credit 
hours.  In  1977-1978,  the  Department 
of  Communication  and  Theatre  had 
22  faculty  members,  525  majors,  and 
generated  10,719  regular  session 
credit  hours.  That's  an  increase  of 
517%  in  majors,  144%  in  faculty  and 
219%  in  credit  hours  produced.  If  the 
present  rate  of  enrollment  increases 
persists,  within  four  years  one  of 
every  ten  students  on  the  Greens- 
boro campus  will  be  a  major  in 
Communication  and  Theatre. 

There  are  several  correlate  devel- 
opments with  this  significant  increase 
in  size.  The  most  readily  observable 
is  physical  expansion.  Taylor  Build- 
ing, designed  for  a  program  with  a 
faculty  of  ten  and  60  majors,  is 
bursting  at  its  seams.  The  Depart- 
ment's oflSces,  laboratories,  and  class- 
rooms spread  through  nine  additional 
locations  around  campus.  Relief  is 
in  sight  in  a  significant  commitment 
of  space  which  has  been  made  in  the 
next  academic  building  planned  for 
campus.  The  special  session  of  the 
legislature  in  June  appropriated 
planning  money  for  this  building 
which  will  provide  for  a  new  Speech 
and  Hearing  Center  and  offices  and 
classrooms  for  the  Communication 
Disorders  Division,  including  edu- 
cation of  the  deaf;  offices  and  class- 


rooms for  the  Speech  Communica- 
tion Division  and  the  Communica- 
tion Education  Program;  and  new 
departmental  oflSces. 

Rapid  expansion  of  the  communi- 
cation professions  and  the  growth  of 
majors  and  credit  hours  has  required 
maximum  organizational  efficiency. 
This  has  been  obtained  by  the  con- 
tinued strengthening  of  the  divisional 
structure  within  the  Department. 
Although  there  are  stiU  joint  pro- 
grams and  activities,  the  divisions 
have  become  the  centers  of  most 
curricular  activity.  There  are  now 
four  divisions  and  two  independent 
programs  in  the  Department. 

Communication  Disorders 

Dr.  Richard  Dixon  is  in  charge  of 
the  Division  of  Communication  Dis- 
orders which  directly  supervises  the 
curricula  in  speech  pathology,  audi- 
ology  and  education  of  the  deaf. 
Dr.  Mariana  Newton  is  the  director 
of  the  Speech  and  Hearing  Center, 
a  major  service  of  UNC-G,  which 
averages  5,000  patient  visits  a  year. 

The  newest  program  in  this  Divi- 
sion, approved  in  1964,  is  an  under- 
graduate degree  in  education  of  the 
deaf.  Only  three  years  old,  it  now 
has  more  than  70  majors.  Neil  Low- 
ell, formerly  Superintendent  of  the 
Wisconsin  School  of  the  Deaf,  has 
worked  since  his  arrival  in  the  fall  of 
1975  to  estabfish  the  program  on  a 
sound  basis.  He  will  be  joined  in 
the  fall  by  Dr.  Edgar  Shroyer,  who 
has  been  teaching  at  Gallaudet  Col- 
lege in  Washington,  D.  C.  A  grad- 
uate degree  in  education  of  the  deaf 
has  been  approved  for  the  campus, 
and  it  will  be  implemented  as  re- 
sources become  available. 

In  numbers  of  undergraduate  and 
graduate  majors,  Communication 
Disorders  is  now  the  largest  division 
in  the  Department.  Its  growth  at- 
tests to  the  pervasiveness  of  the  com- 
munication revolution.  Working  with 


"I  feel  we  really  keep  up  to  date 
with  new  things  in  our  field." 


the  schools  and  with  such  programs 
as  Head  Start,  therapists  and  audi- 
ologists  endeavor  to  identify  and 
initiate  treatment  at  the  earhest  pos- 
sible time  so  that  no  one  is  left  be- 
hind with  dysfunctional  skills  in  a 
society  in  which  communication 
ability  and  success  are  almost  syn- 
onymous. There  has  been  no  lessen- 
ing of  concern  for  older  victims  of 
communication  disorders.  Half  of 
the  patients  served  by  the  Center 
are  adults  who  receive  therapy  for 
problems  such  as  those  caused  by 
strokes,  removal  of  the  larynx  due  to 
cancer  and  hearing  loss. 

Among  the  most  prominent  move- 
ments nationally  in  this  decade  has 
been  the  attention  given  to  com- 
munication problems  of  the  hard  of 
hearing  and  the  deaf.  It  is  estimated 
that  over  fifteen  million  Americans 
suffer  from  some  form  of  hearing 
impairment,  and  millions  of  them 
have  never  had  a  medical  evaluation 
of  their  hearing  loss.  UNC-G's  pro- 
grams have  been  coordinated  with 
the  opening  of  the  new  Central 
School  of  the  Deaf  in  Greensboro. 
Cooperation  with  the  Central  School 
and  with  regional  classes  for  the  deaf 
will  permit  UNC-G's  programs  to 
become  regional  and  national  models 
in  the  field. 

Speech  Communication 

Historically,  efi^ective  oral  com- 
munication has  been  at  the  center  of 
liberal  education.  Normal  language, 
speech,  and  hearing  ability  is  often 
not  enough.  Effective  speech  helps 
an  educated  person  to  become  a 
successful  citizen.  The  Division  of 
Speech  Communication,  under  the 
directorship  of  Dr.  Thomas  Tedford, 
is  just  now  coming  into  its  own  at 
UNC-G.  For  many  years  it  served 
as  the  general  speech  unit  Depart- 
ment's coordinating  and  facilitating 
the  development  of  the  "other"  dis- 
cipline   areas,    especially    broadcast- 


ing, oral  interpretation  and  teacher 
education. 

The  teacher  education  program 
has  now  been  separated  from  Speech 
Communication.  Under  the  guid- 
ance of  Dr.  Ethel  Glenn,  the  UNC-G 
Communication  Education  program 
leads  the  state  in  graduating  out- 
standing students  who  are  certified 
in  speech  communication  and  theatre 
arts.  For  example,  much  of  the  tre- 
mendous interest  in  high  school  dra- 
matic activities  in  Greensboro  has 
been  stimulated  by  UNC-G  alumni 
Mike  Parrish  '67  at  Grimsley  and 
Dan  Seaman  '73  at  Dudley. 

One  of  the  Speech  Communication 
Division's  programs,  the  UNC-G 
Forensics  Association,  under  the 
guidance  of  Dr.  L.  Dean  Fadely, 
achieved  national  prominence  in  the 
1970s.  The  team  won  the  National 
Junior  Varsity  Championship  in  1976 
and  finished  fifth  in  the  Varsity 
Championship  in  1977.  Unfortu- 
nately, the  program  has  had  to  be 
curtailed  temporarily,  but  Dr.  Fade- 
ly's  decision  to  return  to  full  time 
teaching  has  given  impetus  to  the 
instructional  program  in  speech  com- 
munication. Long  a  popular  major 
with  business  and  pre-law  students, 
speech  communication  will  expand 
to  include  new  courses  in  evidence 
and  argument  in  public  discourse, 
public  speaking  and  contemporary 
rhetorical  criticism. 

A  new  addition  to  the  Speech 
Communication  Division,  Dr.  Elliott 
Pood,  is  opening  up  areas  which  are 
essential  studies  for  students  of  our 
communication  -  rich  environment. 
Two  new  courses.  Communication 
and  Society  and  Interpersonal  and 
Nonverbal  Communication,  will  be 
offered  for  the  first  time  this  fall. 
For  the  Department,  Dr.  Pood  has 
developed  the  Institute  for  Com- 
munication Research  and  Consulting, 
to  provide  research  support  for  de- 
partmental faculty  and  students  and 


Speech  Pathology  —  Graduate  student 
Mara  Cuthrell  tries  a  new  technique  in 
speech  therapy  in  UNC-G's  Speech  and 
Hearing  Chnic.  "The  Department  makes 
a  real  learning  experience  out  of  every- 
thing." Mara  says.  "I  feel  we  really  keep 
up  to  date  with  new  things  in  our  field." 
Marriage  in  July  followed  Mara's  May 
graduation,  and  she  is  hoping  to  work  in 
her   field   in   Chapel   Hill. 


Technical  Theatre  —  Bobby  Ballard,  of 
Charlotte,  put  his  knowledge  to  work  im- 
mediately following  his  graduation  in  May. 
He  was  assistant  lighting  designer  for  the 
Summer  Repertory  Theatre  on  campus, 
then  mo\ed  to  Burnsville  as  lighting  de- 
signer for  Parkway  Playhouse.  Bobby  en- 
rolled at  U\C-G  because  of  the  reputa- 
tion of  the  theatre  program,  and  he  hasn't 
been  disappointed  except  in  one  respect; 
"The  department  needs  more  money  for 
all  the  things  it's  doing.  It's  not  properly 
funded."  His  record  in  technical  theatre 
production  this  past  academic  year  has 
been  noteworthy  for  an  undergraduate: 
light  design  for  two  major  productions, 
stage  manager  for  a  third,  and  set  designer 
for  a  thesis  production. 


to  promote  UNC-G/community  inter- 
face through  qualified  personnel  for 
communications-counseling  activities. 

Broadcasting/Cinema 

Radio,  tele\dsion,  and  film  work 
have  been  important  dimensions  of 
the  Department  for  years.  Many  of 
"Teacher"  Taylor's  students  went  on 
to  success  in  broadcasting  and  film, 
including  Bernice  Goodwin  O'Crotty 
'39,  who  was  on  the  Lux  Radio  The- 
atre and  had  a  daily  CBS  radio  show 
while  also  playing  in  pictures  at  Uni- 
versal and  Columbia,  and  Virginia 
Tatum  Mewis  '38,  who  had  an  active 
broadcasting  career  prior  to  becom- 
ing an  influential  speech  writer  for 
the  Department  of  Agriculture.  One 
of  the  first  activities  of  the  young 
Department  of  Drama,  after  it  was 
established  in  1954,  was  sponsorship 
of  a  TV  series  on  the  arts,  among  the 
first  such  University-produced  series 
in  the  nation. 

By  1974,  enough  work  in  broad- 
casting and  cinema  was  available  in 
the  Department  to  permit  students 
to  declare  a  separate  concentration 
in  broadcasting-cinema.  A  year  later 
the  separate  Division  of  Broadcast- 
ing-Cinema was  formed.  A  major 
addition  to  the  Division  is  Robert  L. 
Mandigo,  an  energetic  young  film- 
maker and  television  educator  who 
was  recruited  in  1976.  Mandigo, 
working  with  Emil  W.  Young  and 
the  Carmichael  Center  staff  and  with 
talented  graduate  and  undergraduate 
students,  has  helped  the  program 
achieve  success  in  film  production 
and  in  preparing  and  placing  grad- 
uates in  communications  jobs. 

Theatre 

For  the  public,  the  most  familiar 
aspect  of  the  Department  remains  its 
first  born,  the  Di\'ision  of  Theatre. 
Under  the  leadership  of  Dr.  David 
Batcheller,  the  Division  has  con- 
tinued its  tradition  of  success,  a  tra- 


Deaf  Education  —  Martha  Pearce  teaches 
the  manual  alphabet  to  a  student  in 
UNC-G's  Speech  and  Hearing  Center. 
Martha  always  wanted  to  teach,  "but  my 
interest  in  teaching  the  deaf  came  through 
my  friendship  with  a  deaf  couple,"  she 
recalls.  She  transferred  to  UNC-G  her 
junior  year  to  major  in  speech  pathology 
and  was  among  the  first  to  enroll  in  the 
department's  Deaf  Education  classes. 
Plans  include  a  year  off  to  teach  follow- 
ing her  May  graduation,  then  returning 
to  UNC-G  for  graduate  work. 


dition  based  on  the  support  of  the 
Angels  Advisory  Committee  and  on 
the  skill  and  hard  \\'ork  of  Taylor, 
Middleton,  and  the  late  Katherine 
England.  During  the  past  year  at- 
tendance was  up  37  per  cent.  Over 
60  different  theatre  works  were  pre- 
sented to  a  total  audience  of  over 
125,000.  Graduates  of  the  B.F.A. 
and  M.F.A.  programs  are  employed 
in  major  professional,  community, 
regional  and  university  theatres. 

In  1974,  the  UNC-G  Theatre  en- 
tered the  American  College  Theatre 
Festival  for  the  first  time.  The  pro- 
duction, Tlie  Oresteia,  directed  by 
Middleton,  was  selected  as  one  of 
the  best  in  the  country  and  was 
showcased  at  the  Kennedy  Center 
in  Washington,  D.  C.  In  1978,  the 
department  again  entered,  and  the 
production  was  chosen  over  40  others 
for  the  regional  ACTF  competition. 
Although  the  play  was  not  in\ited 
to  the  national  festi\'al,  it  was  an 
outstanding   educational   experience. 


The  production,  an  original  trans- 
lation of  Rrandello's  Enrico  IV,  was 
prepared  by  the  director.  Dr.  John 
Joy,  and  Tony  Fragola,  an  instructor 
in  the  Romance  Languages  Depart- 
ment. In  addition  to  the  stage  ver- 
sion, the  Broadcasting-Cinema  Divi- 
sion produced  a  \'ideotape  version 
and  used  the  production  as  a  back- 
ground for  a  seven  part  series,  Focus 
on  Theatre,  being  prepared  for  re- 
lease in  1978-1979  on  the  UNC-TV 
network.  Fragola,  an  accomplished 
filmmaker  and  creative  writer,  will 
join  the  Broadcasting-Cinema  Divi- 
sion of  the  Department  on  a  half- 
time  basis  in  the  fall  of  1978. 

The  other  theatre  programs  also 
continue  to  do  well.  The  Studio 
Theatre,  under  Jamey  Reynolds' 
guidance,  provides  opportunities  for 
students  to  work  in  more  than  40 
different  productions  each  year".  The 
Theatre  for  Young  People,  which 
alumni  may  remember  as  the  Pixie 
Playhouse,  continues  to  flourish  un- 
der Tom  Behm's  leadership.  The 
TYP  Touring  Professional  Repertory 
Company  had  its  longest  and  most 
successful  tour  in  1977-1978. 

The  Summer  Repertory  Theatre, 
produced  under  Batcheller's  direc- 
tion in  cooperation  with  the  School 
of  Music,  has  had  a  major  impact  on 
the  Piedmont  arts  in  the  early  sum- 
mer. This  year's  productions  —  Kiss 
Me  Kate.  The  Oldest  Living  Grad- 
uate, and  The  Beggars  Opera  —  fea- 
tured Alfred  Hinckley,  distinguished 
film  and  stage  actor,  as  guest  artist. 

The  Parkway  Playhouse  in  Burns- 
ville,  under  Joy's  supervision,  opened 
July  5  \\-ith  North  Carolina  fa\'orite 
W.  C.  "Mutt"  Burton  leading  off  in 
The  Man  Who  Came  to  Dinner, 
followed  by  Fiddler  on  the  Roof, 
Barefoot  in  the  Park  and  Cabaret. 
Attendance  at  Parkway  reached  an

"Ibmorrow... 
Futurism  on  Campus 


by  Jim  Clark,  staff  Writer 


Scarcity  —  of  energy,  food  and  mean- 
ingful opportunity  for  all  people  — 
is  more  than  the  subject  of  every- 
day grumblings  for  UNC-G  students 
and  faculty.  The  long-term  effects 
of  such  shortages  are  at  the  core  of 
a  growing  multi-disciplinary  ap- 
proach termed  "future  studies. " 

Futurists  stress  that  their  field  is 
not  a  landing  ground  for  UFOs,  a 
building  site  for  Utopias,  nor  a  play- 
ground for  fantasies.  In  the  futurist 
classroom/laboratory,  science  fiction 
is  less  important  that  science  fact. 

FACT:  Energy  —  or  the  lack  of  it  — 
will  determine  to  a  great  extent  how 
far  our  civilization  moves  into  the 
future. 

"Futuristic  —  that's  one  way  to  put 
it,"  says  Dr.  Gerald  Meisner  of  his 
physics  course  The  Nuclear  Age: 
Energy  Options  .\nd  the  Enatron- 
MENT.  "A  gloomier  way  is,  if  enough 
people  don't  understand  the  prob- 
lems, there  may  not  be  any  future." 

Proposed  solutions,  such  as  nuclear 
energy,  can  themselves  become  prob- 
lems. The  "peaceful  atom"  and  the 
"warlike  atom"  are  intertwined,  he 
explains,  and  even  the  peaceful  use 
of  nuclear  energy  can  be  fraught 
with  danger.  "Yet,  according  to 
some,  nuclear  energy  is  a  bronto- 
saur's  dying  in  the  water  —  a  tech- 
nology whose  time  is  passing." 

Much  of  his  course  is  devoted  to 
post-nuclear  age  technologies  and 
lifestyles,  some  of  which  seem 
strangely  old-fashioned.  His  class 
examines  conservation  as  both  an 
ethic  and  as  a  technical  practicality. 
"Not  just  turning  dowm  the  thermo- 
stat but  ways  in  which  large  chunks 
of  energy  can  be  saved.  If  we  don't 
spend  it,  that's  as  good  as  getting 
new  stuff  —  even  better  because 
you  don't  have  to  damage  some- 
thing." 

These  days  the  "new  stufi^'  is  gen- 


Future  studies  .  .  .  If  enough  people 
don't  understand  the  problems, 
there  may  not  he  any  future. 

erally  oil,  yet  the  hunger  for  oil  is 
more  a  matter  of  lifestyle  than 
necessity.  "We  don't  really  have  an 
energy  problem  in  general.  We  have 
a  fhiid  problem.  We  don't  have 
enough  fluid  energy  to  use  in  trans- 
portation and  in  some  industry. " 
There  is  more  than  enough  energy 
available  through  hydro-electric, 
v\'ind,  solar  and  geothermal  sources. 
There  just  isn't  enough  oil.  "So,  you 
can  either  change  transportation 
systems  or  you  can  look  for  different 
fuels  to  power  existing  systems." 

His  students  look  at  both  options 
and  question  current  oil-based  life- 
styles. "Do  we  really  have  to  have 
a  throw-away  society?"  asks  Meis- 
ner. "With  so  much  heat  pouring 
out  in  winter,  so  much  cold  pouring 
out  in  the  summer.  Do  we  have  to 
get  rid  of  automobiles  every  three 
years,  and  live  in  urban  settings  with 
everybody  —  e\'en  in  Greensboro  — 
commuting  from  suburban  rings?" 

Such  questioning  must  be  inter- 
disciplinary.   Students   examine   the 


biological  effects  of  nuclear  radia- 
tion, population  trends,  the  economics 
of  oil  spills  and  utility  rate  struc- 
tures and  the  politics  of  Saudi  Arabia 
and  megaton  bombs.  "That  all  de- 
termines energy  policy.  Only  then 
can  we  think  in  terms  of  the  whole 
picture. " 

Few  of  the  students  in  the  course 
are  slide  rule-wielding  physics  ma- 
jors, a  fact  Dr.  Meisner  finds  en- 
couraging. "A  lot  of  decisions  are 
being  made  and  have  to  be  made  on 
technological  information  and  scien- 
tific principles.  These  decisions  are 
being  made  by  lawyers,  businessmen, 
and  policymakers.  My  feeling  is  that 
it's  better  for  students  to  have  an 
e.xposure  to  such  scientific  problems 
in  a  language  which  is  their  langu- 
age and  understandable." 

Students  have  the  option  of  writ- 
ing a  policy  paper  or  doing  a  project. 
Projects  have  varied  from  a  model 
of  damage  suffered  by  Greensboro 
in  a  one  megaton  blast  to  solar  col- 
lectors and  methane  generators. 
"They'll  make  enough  methane  to 
fill  an  inner  tube  so  they  can  come 
to  class  and  cook  an  egg,  for  ex- 
ample. There  will  be  special  thanks 
to  the  horse  or  cow  or  pasture  that 
contributed  to  the  project.  There's 
a  lot  of  practical  experience." 

Some  students  work  on  plans  for 
homes  powered  in  alternative  ways 
or  explore  passive  use  of  solar  en- 
ergy. "By  passive,"  explains  Dr. 
Meisner,  "we  mean  just  orienting 
buildings  in  sensible  ways,  using 
sensible  architecture,  building  ma- 
terials and  landscaping  .  .  .  like  peo- 
ple did  500  years  ago  when  they 
didn't  have  any  choice." 

For  Dr.  Meisner  and  his  students, 
a  livable  future  comes  down  to  a 
sensible  present.  "One  of  the  inter- 
esting things  to  speculate  on  is  the 
existence  of  intelligent  life  in  the 
universe.  One  unknown  factor  is  the 
lifetime  of  advanced  technical  civili- 


Futurism  on 


zations.  If  people  really  get  so  smart 
they  learn  to  live  with  each  other, 
there's  no  reason  a  civilization 
couldn't  last  a  milUon  years.  We've 
been  advanced  enough  to  communi- 
cate outside  of  the  solar  system  for 
about  ten  years  —  but  we  may  also 
be  nearly  extinct  because  of  the  mad 
race  for  nuclear  superiority.  But 
logic  may  win  out,  who  knows?" 

FACT:  Taste,  as  well  as  logic,  has 
a  role  in  solving  the  world's  food 
problems. 

In  her  campus  kitchen,  Ms.  Mary 
Dickey,  assistant  professor  of  Foods 
and  Nutrition,  is  cooking  up  what 
may  be  a  main  dish  on  the  menu  of 
tomorrow  —  soybeans.  "The  soybean 
is  simply  the  most  efficient  and 
cheapest  source  of  plant  protein  we 
have,"  she  says.  For  the  last  two 
years,  she  has  been  working  with  a 
United  States  Agency  for  Inter- 
national Development  (USAID)  team 
in  Cochabamba,  Bolivia,  spreading 
the  word  about  that  miraculous  bean. 
"It  sounds  so  simple  to  say  you  are 
going  to  Bolivia  to  promote  soybeans 
to  help  solve  their  nutrition  prob- 
lems. But  it  isn't  that  simple.  It's 
very  complex." 

To  unravel  the  complexity,  the 
team  is  multi-disciplinary  and  in- 
cludes an  economist,  a  doctor,  a  nu- 
tritionist, computer  people,  and  Ms. 
Dickey,  whose  research  focuses  on 
the  development  of  soybean  recipes. 
Problems  include  transportation  — 
the  few  roads  are  almost  impassable 
during  the  rainy  season  —  and  mar- 
keting the  soybeans  in  a  country  that 
has  little  television  or  radio  and 
streetside  stalls  instead  of  super- 
markets. 

But  Dickey's  mission  is  less  con- 
cerned with  logistics  than  with  the 
cooks  in  the  kitchen.  One  problem 
is  simply  the  time  it  takes  to  cook 
the  beans.  On  campus,  soybeans 
cook  in  two  hours;  in  Cochabamba 


It's  difficult  to  get  people  to  change 
food  habits,  hut  it's  not  impossible. 
Look  at  yogurt. 

at  8,000  feet  elevation,  water  boils 
at  92  degrees  and  the  cooking  time 
is  over  three  hours.  To  reduce  the 
time,  she  is  experimenting  with  a 
Philippino  method  of  pre-frying  and 
an  improvised  Bolivian  approach  of 
cooking  the  beans  with  ash. 

The  supreme  challenge  is  how  to 
get  Bolivians  to  eat  soybeans  —  and 
hke  it.  "They're  not  pintocs,"  she 
admits.  "They  just  don't  cook  up  to 
a  soft,  starchy  consistency."  In  the 
United  States,  technology  can  spin, 
blend  and  transform  soybeans  into 
a  variety  of  creative  products,  in- 
cluding beverages.  Soybeans  are  a 
staple  of  packaged  foods,  but  only 
the  list  of  ingredients  gives  away 
their  presence. 

In  Bohvia,  soybeans  are  obviously 
soybeans,  and  the  trick,  she  says, 
is  to  fit  the  dry,  whole  soybean  into 
the  traditional  food  and  taste  pat- 
terns of  the  Bolivians,  who  tend  to- 
ward one-pot  cookery  over  an  open 
fire.  "We  actually  cook  up  soybeans 
each  day  to  use  in  their  recipes.  We 
set  up  a  taste  panel,  and  workers 
and  farmers  come  and  tell  us  what 


they  think.  They  have  a  snack  food 
that's  like  our  hot  dog  in  popularity. 
They  go  to  the  soccer  game,  and  the 
roadside  stands  sell  empanadas.  So 
we  made  a  soybean  filling,  and  they 
said,  'Don't  mess  with  our  favorite 
food.'  I  told  them  just  try  it,  and  if 
they  didn't  Kke  it  we  can  try  some- 
thing else.  But  after  they  tasted  it, 
they  said,  'Well,  not  bad.'  They're 
very  traditional,  provincial  people, 
not  used  to  new  ideas." 

If  Bolivians  are  getting  a  few 
nutritious  ideas  from  the  United 
States,  Ms.  Dickey  believes  they  can 
also  give  us  some  helpful  hints  for 
facing  hard  times.  "In  our  food 
courses,  we  are  concentrating  more 
and  more  on  conserving  energy  and 
cutting  costs.  The  Bolivians  are  cre- 
ative, and  we  could  learn  from  them. 
They  have  little  electricity  or  money, 
but  they  waste  very  little.  They  use 
every  part  of  an  animal.  We're  just 
not  culturally  attuned  to  that.  You 
know,  the  first  time  you  see  a  cow 
udder  served,  the  temptation  is  to 
walk  off." 

She  and  others  on  the  AID  team 
hope  to  work  out  a  methodology  for 
soybean  distribution  and  incorpora- 
tion into  native  diets  that  could  help 
other  countries  with  nutritional  prob- 
lems far  more  severe  than  those 
found  in  Bolivia.  But  the  test  of  the 
pudding  is  whether  or  not  Bolivians 
will  take  a  liking  to  the  beans. 

"It's  difficult  to  get  people  to 
change  food  habits  but  not  impos- 
sible," she  says.  "Look  at  yogurt. 
Twenty  years  ago,  it  was  difficult  to 
find,  now  it's  on  every  corner."  Much 
of  the  resistance  to  sensible  eating 
habits  is  developed  in  childhood. 
One  of  her  graduate  students  served 
soybeans  at  the  UNC-G's  three  cen- 
ters for  pre-schoolers  to  see  if  chil- 
dren at  this  early  age  had  a  bias 
against  soybeans.  They  generally 
accepted  them.  "They  didn't  know 
that  soybeans  are  for  cows." 


FACT:  Enormous  social  and  political 
changes  will  come  to  pass  by  the 
year  2000;  meanwhile,  1984  is  only 
SVa  years  away. 

Dr.  Maurice  Simon  (Political 
Science)  teaches  "Politics  of  the 
Future"  and  "Political  Change  and 
Alternate  Futures,"  courses  which 
take  his  students  on  a  tour  of  to- 
morrow's tyrannies,  democracies  and 
kingdoms.  For  students,  this  is  sel- 
dom a  pleasure  trip,  as  they  explore 
the  far  reaches  of  the  population 
explosion,  the  earth's  growing  hun- 
ger and  the  prospective  battleUnes 
between  rich  North  and  poor  South. 

"What  I  try  to  do,"  he  says,  "is 
look  at  present  dilemmas  and  ask 
students  to  trace  the  political  and 
economic  forces  that  created  those 
dilemmas,  and  to  project  what  kinds 
of  solutions  they  prefer,  as  well  as 
what  kinds  of  futures  are  most  prob- 
able."  Such  tracings  are  important 
for  two  reasons.  "I  try  to  sensitize 
students  to  the  interrelationship  be- 
tween problems  —  how  such  prob- 
lems affect  a  citizen  of  the  United 
States,  Often  they  don't  really  see 
the  linkage  between  the  energ\'  crisis, 
inflation  and  jobs.  But  just  as  im- 
portant is  that  by  looking  at  alter- 
nate futures,  students  are  able  to 
clarify  their  own  values." 

However,  Dr.  Simon  finds,  resist- 
ance to  looking  at  the  future  is 
strong.  Some  students  become  so 
anxious  about  the  magnitude  of  the 
problems  that  they  retreat  into  them- 
selves; others  become  activists,  in- 
tent on  doing  something  while  there 
is  still  time.  "Also,  what  students 
often  want  in  a  course  is  a  set  of 
basic  facts  about  the  present  with 
the  instructor  laying  this  out  in  a 
very  structured  and  interesting  way." 

Future  studies  present  a  whole 
new  way  of  thinking  and  a  whole 
new  set  of  intellectual  demands,  says 
Dr.  Simon.  By  looking  at  the  pres- 
ent from  the  perspective  of  the  fu- 


Tliere  is  the  sense  that  one  can 
make  futures  rather  than  passivehj 
accepting  futures  being  made  for 
oneself. 

hire,  students  see  things  in  a  new 
way.  "Good  science  fiction  does  this 
too  by  asking  what  are  the  conse- 
quences of  what  we're  doing  right 
now.  Take  for  example  that  classic 
science  fiction  novel,  Orwell's  1984. 
It  was  looking  at  the  post-World 
War  II  era  and  asking.  What  does 
competition  between  great  powers 
mean  in  terms  of  trends  towards 
authoritarianism?" 

But  he  stresses  that  future  studies 
is  not  science  fiction.  "The  question 
with  petroleum  is  not  whether  or 
not  we  are  going  to  run  out.  We're 
going  to.  The  question  is  when  and 
do  we  have  enough  time  to  make 
adaptations.  Those  people  who  say 
there  is  a  technological  solution  may 
argue  that  we  can  solve  the  problem 
in  40  years,  but  what  if  we  run  out 
in  20  years?  What  are  we  going  to 
do  in  that  20-year  period  —  re- 
organize society?  Or  should  we  make 
the  effort  to  reorganize  now?" 

Through  poficy  papers  and  class- 
room discussions,  students  bring  a 
variety    of    disciplines    to    focus    on 


such  questions  as  the  philosophy  of 
government,  the  psychology  of  hu- 
man cooperation,  and  the  economic 
and  cultural  reactions  to  a  switch 
from  fossil  to  solar  energy. 

Yet  the  central  question  in  all 
policy  decisions,  he  believes,  is  that 
of  civil  liberties.  "To  what  extent 
are  the  kinds  of  scarcities  that  exist 
today  going  to  necessitate  infringe- 
ment of  liberties?  To  what  extent 
can  we  maintain  private  enterprise 
and  freedom  for  groups  and  still 
bring  about  greater  coherence  in 
problem-solving?" 

Americans  have  a  tendency  to  see 
in  technology  a  panacea  for  all  fu- 
ture problems,  and  one  technology 
that  has  caught  the  popular  imagi- 
nation is  the  communications  revo- 
lution. "Many  future  analysts  see 
communications  as  the  major  tech- 
nological and  social  factor  affecting 
the  future  —  the  spread  of  ideas 
simultaneously.  This  is  the  techno- 
tronic  society  —  a  society  based  not 
on  the  industrial  production  of  goods 
and  services  but  on  the  production 
and  exchange  of  information."  Com- 
munications satellites  have  the  po- 
tential of  creating  a  global  village. 
Satelhtes  can  spot  new  fuel  sources 
and  nuclear  violations.  They  can 
educate  neighboring  countries  about 
soybeans  and  survival,  while  pro- 
viding an  intercom  for  multi-national 
village  shopkeepers. 

But  as  spies  in  the  sky,  they  can 
also  be  Big  Brother's  nervous  system, 
the  instrument  of  mass  propagandiz- 
ing. Ironically,  the  opposite  use  of 
the  communications  revolution  — 
mass  democratic  participation  —  can 
also  pose  problems  for  existing  gov- 
ernments. If  government  can  use 
communications  to  talk  to  the  peo- 
ple, the  people  in  democratic  so- 
cieties can  use  this  same  media  to 
talk  back  to  government.  "There  is 
a  proliferation  of  demands  being

Careers...  Finding  Them 


Dr.  Richard  Harwood,  Director  of 
UNC-G's  Career  Planning  and 
Placement  Center,  has  some  strong 
ideas  about  helping  individuals  find 
the  right  career.  He  feels  so  strongly, 
in  fact,  that  he  has  co-authored  a 
book, "Directions:  A  Guide  to  Career 
Planning,"  with  Dr.  Thomas  Bach- 
huber,  director  of  Career  Services  at 
the  University  of  Maryland. 

"Knowing  yourself  —  your  abil- 
ities, skills,  interests,  goals,  lifestyle 
and  limitations  —  is  the  logical  start- 
ing point  in  the  sequential  steps  of 
career  development,"  he  says,  so  he 
has  devoted  the  first  section  of  his 
book  to  helping  individuals  to  know 
themselves  better. 

Originally  intended  as  a  classroom 
text,  the  2S9-page  book  can  be  used 
by  anyone  in  planning  and  develop- 
ing of  a  new  career.  It  presents 
the  total  career  development  process 
from  the  point  of  non-direction  to 
the  point  of  attaining  a  career  posi- 
tion consistent  with  one's  interests, 
abilities  and  aspirations. 

"After  collecting  infoimation  on 
self,  career  and  academic  awareness, 
it  is  time  to  commit  yourself  to 
gathering  information  about  career 
direction,"  Harwood  says. 

At  this  point  he  recommends  de- 
veloping a  credentials  file  contain- 
ing a  resume  ("your  calhng  card  or 
door-opener"),  letters  of  recommen- 
dations and  a  transcript  of  educa- 
tional credits.  Then  the  job-seeker  is 
ready  to  identify  prospective  em- 
ployers, developing  resources  that 
are  connected  to  the  job  wanted. 

A  letter  of  inquiry  is  often  the 
initial  contact,  and  most  employers 
attach  considerable  importance  to 
its  quality.  'The  letter  of  inquiry 
should  'sell'  in  terms  of  the  contribu- 
tion you  can  make  to  the  employers 
or  past  experiences  and  the  contribu- 
tion you  can  make  to  die  company." 

The  book  concludes  with  some 
examples    of   what   the   prospective 


employee  can  expect  at  the  job  in- 
terview with  key  points  toward  prep- 
aration for  it.  'The  more  confidence 
you  have  in  your  ability,  the  better 
your  chances  of  coming  across  suc- 
cessfully .  .  .  and  the  better  your 
chances  of  getting  the  job." 

Seven  Who  Did 

Professionals  in  selected  career  areas 
were  invited  to  campus  during 
Career  Awareness  Week,  April  17- 
21,  to  talk  with  students  interested  in 
gaining  firsthand  infonnation  about 
specific  career  fields. 

Participants  were  drawn  from  the 
fields  of  accounting,  art,  banking 
and  finance,  computer  programming, 
health  services,  human  services,  in- 
surance, law,  manufacturing,  mar- 
keting/sales, media  communication 
and  advertising,  military  services, 
the  perfonning  arts,  personnel,  pub- 
lic relations,  recreation/leisure,  re- 
tailing and  science  and  engineering. 

In  the  following  paragraphs,  seven 
alumni  describe  how  they  obtained 
their  job  and  how  others  might  go 
about  job-seeking. 

Ravonda  Dalton  Webster  '76,  As- 
sistant Community  Afl:airs  Director 
for  WFMY-TV,  maintains  liaison  be- 
tween the  station  and  community 
groups. 

"Upon  graduation,  I  had  no  idea 
what  I  might  go  into,"  she  says,  but 
after  several  sessions  with  the  Place- 
ment Office  and  making  contacts  on 
her  own,  she  learned  of  the  position 
at  the  Greensboro  station,  applied 
and  was  accepted.  "My  advice  to 
graduates  is  to  go  first  to  the  Place- 
ment Office  and  find  out  what  is 
available.  Applicants  should  re- 
search a  company  before  they  apply. 
A  call  to  the  department  head  seek- 
ing an  employee  would  be  in  order 
since  the  Personnel  Manager  doesn't 


always  know  if  a  job  is  available.  If 
you  are  uncertain  if  there  is  a  job 
opening,  call  the  department  head. 
But  don't  say,  'I'm  looking  for  a  job.' 
Explain  your  interest  in  the  com- 


pany and  its  work  and  ask  advice  on 
how  to  get  into  that  type  of  work;. 
The  department  head  may  not  have 
an  opening  but  this  may  get  your 
foot  in  the  door." 

Kathy  Thompson  '77,  sales  represen- 
tative for  the  Xerox  Corporation,  is 
responsible  for  copier  -  duplicator 
sales  in  Greensboro. 

She  was  introduced  to  the  com- 
pany through  their  college  recruit- 
ment program  at  the  Career  Plan-, 
ning  and  Placement  0£Bce.  "My  ad- 
vice to  job  seekers  is  to  fully  explore 
the  services  of  the  Placement  OflSce. 
It  provided  a  wealth  of  infonnation 
about  available  fields  and  specific 
opportunities  with  various  com- 
panies and  industries." 

Vickie  Grace  '74,  an  employee  re- 
lations assistant  at  Union  Carbide's 
Asheboro  plant,  is  responsible  for 
personnel  functions  relating  to  hir- 
ing, benefit  administration,  safety, 
employee  records,  disciplinary  ac- 
tion, and  Equal  Employment  Op- 
portunity (EEO).

"A  month  before  I  was  to  grad- 
uate, I  signed  up  at  the  Placement 
OfBce  for  an  interview  with  a  Union 
Carbide  representative."  A  second 
interview  followed  at  the  Asheboro 
plant,  but  because  of  the  recession 
and  a  "slump"  in  the  battery  busi- 
ness, the  company  was  not  hiring. 
Then  in  June  1975,  she  was  invdted 
for  an  inter^dew  in  Ohio  and  was 
employed  as  a  first  line  supei"visor 
in  the  Fremont  plant  there.  After  a 
year,  Vickie  was  transferred  to  the 
Asheboro  plant,  and  in  June  1977, 
she  was  given  her  present  position. 
"My  advice  to  job  seekers  is  to  take 
advantage  of  the  contacts  that  can 
be  made  through  the  Placement  Of- 
fice. Our  company  relies  heavily  on 
recruiting  through  that  office.  Stu- 
dents have  to  take  the  initiative  and 
sign  up  for  intei-views  and  attend 
the  career  marts.  The  opportunities 
are  available,  but  you  have  to  look 
for  them." 

Carol  Little  '68,  manager  of  pro- 
gramming in  the  corporate  area  of 
Systems  Services  of  Burlington  In- 
dustries,  directs   a   staff  of   18   pro- 


grammers. She  has  responsibility  for 
administration,  training,  planning, 
resource  development  and  staffing. 
"I  wrote  to  Burlington  Industries 
as  well  as  several  other  firms  during 


my  final  semester.  I  included  a  sum- 
mary of  my  college  record  and  hon- 
ors and  stated  I  was  specifically  in- 
terested in  programming.  I  was  in- 
vited for  a  day  of  interviews  and 
was  subsequently  hired."  She  sug- 
gests two  major  factors  in  selecting 
a  person  for  a  position:  the  academic 
record  and  the  impression  made  at 
the  inter\'iew.  "Another  factor  is 
any  work  experience  because  it 
shows  a  certain  responsibifity." 

Connie  Newby  77,  a  semi-senior  ac- 
countant with  A.  M.  Pullen  &  Com- 
pany, does  audits  on  many  small  to 
medium-sized  companies  and  agen- 
cies as  an  "in  charge"  field  auditor. 
"I  was  offered  this  position  after 
an  initial  interview  on  campus  with 
an  A.  M.  Pullen  representative,  a 
neutral  form-letter  reply,  a  follow- 
up  telephone  call  which  I  initiated, 
and  a  visit  to  the  Greensboro  office." 
Connie's  primary  advice  to  job  seek- 
ers is  to  make  use  of  the  excellent 
assistance  available  through  the 
Career  Planning  and  Placement 
Center.  "Through  their  programs, 
skills  can  be  acquired  in  resume 
preparation,  preparing  for  the  in- 
terview, etc.  The  job  seeker  needs 
to  recognize  that  finding  the  right 
job  is  the  most  important  assign- 
ment since  entering  UNC-G." 

Mackey  Bane  ".59,  Curator  of  Exhibi- 
tions for  the  Southeastern  Center  for 
Contemporaiy  Art,  Winston-Salem, 
works  with  the  SECCA  Director  in 
planning  exhibitions,  selecting  artists 
and  supervising  the  details  necessary 
in  carrying  out  a  full  schedule  of 
exhibitions. 

"I  was  selected  by  the  Director 
of  SECCA  for  my  present  job.  Fac- 
tors that  had  a  bearing  were  having 
worked  for  the  organization  on  a 
part-time  basis  some  years  earlier, 
varied  work  experience  in  college- 
level  teaching,  working  with  a  pro- 


fessional artists'  organization  and  my 
own  work  as  a  professional  artist." 
Mackey  believes  willingness  to  con- 
sider and  evaluate  all  job  oppor- 
tunities, even  if  they  might  not  seem 
to  have  good  potential,  is  important 
in   finding   a   job,    and   "recognition 


that  one  must,  to  succeed,  work  very 
hard  and  be  very  good."  She  recom- 
mends Hcnning  and  Jardin's  The 
Managerial  Woman  for  women  job- 
seekers. 

Stephen  Richards  "77,  senior  auditor 
with  die  internal  audit  department 
of  General  Telephone  of  the  South- 
east, Durham,  conducts  financial  and 
operational  reviews  of  the  company, 
evaluates  the  adequacy  of  controls, 
policies  and  procedures,  and  reports 
audit  findings  to  management. 

"I  got  my  job  through  a  notice 
sent  to  me  by  the  UNC-G  Placement 
Office.  My  advice  to  job-seekers: 
Stay  positive,  decide  what  you  want 
and  go  after  it.  Most  employers  rank 
motivation  equally  with  academic 
qualifications.  If  you  are  seeking  a 
job  in  business/accounting  but  are 
unsure  of  exactly  what  you  would 
like,  working  one  or  two  years  with 
an  audit  staff  of  a  public  accounting 
firm  or  large  corporation  will  pro- 
vide exposure  which  will  aid  in  mak- 
ing a  decision  about  the  future."

Careers...  FourinNewNbrk 


In  mid-May  a  group  of  20  clothing 
and  fashion  merchandising  majors 
spent  a  week  in  New  York.  They 
were  participants  in  UNC-G's  third 
Fashion  Capital  Tour,  directed  by 
Dr.  Peyton  Hudson,  a  member  of  the 
Clothing  and  Textiles  faculty.  In- 
cluded in  the  week-long  itinerary 
were  visits  to  Deering-MilHken, 
Wrangler  Kids,  Burlington  House, 
the  Pellon  Corporation,  the  Wool 
Bureau,  Peaches  'n'  Cream/Apparel, 
Inc.  and  Bobbie  Brooks. 

The  students  also  had  sessions 
with  fashion  designers  such  as  Gil 
Aimbez,  who  is  new  on  the  fashion 
scene,  Michele  Cohen,  who  designs 


Highlighting  the  trip  were  visits 
with  four  UNC-G  alumnae  whom 
Peyton  knew  from  her  seven  years 
of  teaching  in  the  School  of  Home 
Economics.  All  four  have  risen  to 
top  positions  in  the  fashion  world, 
and  they  were  glad  to  share  infor- 
mation about  what  they  were  doing 
and  how  they  reached  their  office  in 
the  executive  suite. 

In  the  following  paragraphs,  four 
alumnae  describe  their  experiences. 

Gail  Connor  73,  M.S.P.E.  74,  a  Long 
Island  native,  knew  her  way  around 
New  York  before  she  set  out  to  find 
a  job  there.  "I  made  the  rounds  of 


have  to  set  prices,  forecast  trends 
and  sell  yardage  for  the  tablecloth 
market  and  for  shower  curtains  and 
bedspreads  too."  She  travels  a  good 
deal  to  "where  the  customers  are" 
but  since  many  are  in  the  New  York 
area,  she  finds  time  for  her  new 
beachfront  condominium,  which  is 
an  hour's  drive  from  her  Sixth  Ave- 
nue office. 

Nancy  Sears  '65,  MSHE  '67  and 
Ph.D.  '69,  arrived  at  her  present 
position  with  Burlington  Industries' 
Personnel  Development  Center  fol- 
lowing three  degrees  and  various 
college  teaching  jobs.  As  manager  of

Brenda  Briggs. 


for  Crazy  Horse,  and  Gloria  Bucc, 
a  free  lance  textile  designer.  They 
spent  time  at  Bride's  Magazine  and 
at  the  Good  Housekeeping  Institute 
where  they  saw  how  different  prod- 
ucts earn  Good  Housekeeping's  Seal 
of  Approval. 

There  were  also  visits  to  Bloom- 
ingdale's,  Tiffany's  and  Macy's,  the 
National  Retail  Merchants  Associa- 
tion and  the  Associated  Merchan- 
dising Corporation  which  represents 
31  of  the  country's  finest  department 
stores.

calls before  accepting  Deering-Mil- 
liken's  offer,  the  third  woman  execu- 
tive to  be  hired  by  the  company.  "I 
was  the  first  woman  in  the  Polyester 
and  Cotton  Division.  There  was 
some  opposition  since  most  of  my 
work  was  selling  in  the  Menswear 
Division  to  male  customers."  But  she 
handled  the  assignment  so  well,  she 
earned  a  promotion  to  Marketing 
Manager  two  years  later. 

Gail  compares  her  present  job  to

she  works  at  1345  Avenue  of  the 
Americas  in  a  22nd  floor  office  which 
commands  a  splendid  view  of  the 
New  York  skyline.  "We  focus  on 
skills  and  knowledge  desirable  for 
performing  current  assignments  as 
well  as  preparing  individuals  for 
new  experiences  and  additional  re- 
sponsibilities," she  says.  She  is  in- 
volved in  designing  programs,  de- 
veloping the  materials  and  conduct- 
ing the  programs.  "I  also  coordinate

or  outside  consultants  and  work  \\ith 
various  di\isions  to  identify  in- 
dividual development  needs  so  we 
can  respond  to  them." 

Diane  Sorrell  70  had  just  received 
the  prestigious  Eaniie  Buyers' 
Choice  award  for  her  designs  in 
the  7-14  girls'  wear  when  the 
UNC-G  fashion  tour  visited  Peaches 
'n'  Cream  showrooms  on  West  33rd. 
It  was  the  first  year  Peaches  'n' 
Cream  had  won  the  award  which 
recognizes  the  creative  talents  of 
the  best  of  the  nearly  1,000  chil- 
drenswear  designers  in  the  country.

recognition.  For  the  last  year  and 
a  half  she  has  been  in  charge  of 
the  company's  new  New  York  of- 
fices, coordinating  design  and  sales 
activities.  Her  job  requires  a  good 
deal  of  travel,  including  trips  to 
Europe  for  the  childrenswear  fas- 
hion showing  in  Cologne. 

Sue  Mclver  "71,  Retail  Planning  Co- 
ordinator for  The  Wool  Bureau,  got 
her  job  through  the  Neiv  York 
Times.  "That  along  with  lots  of  luck 
and  some  perseverance  pretty  well 
describes  how  I  got  started  in  the 
job  market."

could  t\pe  but  was  rusty  (my  speed 
was  about  10  w.p.m.)." 

The  Wool  Bureau  didn't  offer  the 
job  to  Sue  at  that  time,  but  patience 
and  perseverance  paid  off.  She  took 
an  interim  job  as  secretary/assistant,

Diane  made  the  usual  job  over- 
tures to  various  companies  in  the 
Piedmont  area  following  graduation. 
She  finally  joined  Peaches  'n'  Cream, 
a  childrenswear  manufacturer,  whose 
headquarters  were  not  far  from  her 
Burlington  home.  "I  was  raw  talent," 
says  Diane.  "They  trained  me  by 
assigning  me  to  every  department 
.  .  .  the  cutting  room,  pattern-mak- 
ing, finally  designing."  When  the 
chief  dress  designer  retired,  she 
moved  into  that  position,  "but  I  had

Sue  went  to  New  York  in  1971 
with  $100,  a  $33  savings  acount  and 
a  oneway  ticket  back  home  to  Char-

the  New  York  Times  classified  sec-

sounded  halfway  interesting.  The 
only  ones  I  eliminated  were  those 
paying  less  than  $150  per  week  (I 
couldn't  live  on  less)  and  those  list- 
ing 'typing  required'  (couldn't  type).

and  seven  months  later  she  called  to 
find  if  The  Wool  Bureau  job  was 
still  open.  It  was.  "After  several 
more  interviews,  I  was  hired  as  a 
Quality  Control  Representative  .  .  . 
nine  months  after  my  first  interview 
for  the  job." 

For  two  years  Sue  was  liaison  be- 
tween The  Wool  Bureau  and  wo- 
menswear  manufacturers,  then  she 
moved  to  the  Retail  Department  and 
today  is  Retail  Planning  Coordinator 
with  responsibility  for  wool  promo- 
tions in  12  cities.

Commencement 


Biology  Major  Mark  Lumsden,  an 
honor  student  with  a  4,0  average, 
became  the  first  graduate  to  receive 
the  Danforth  Graduate  Fellowship 
which  provides  tuition,  fees  and  an 
annual  stipend  of  up  to  $2,400  for 
four  years  of  study  for  a  career  in 
college  teaching.  He  will  begin  work 
in  the  fall  on  a  master's  degree  at 
Duke  where  he  also  was  awarded  a 
Duke  graduate  fellowship.  He  is  the 
son  of  Assistant  Dean  Ernest  Lums- 
den, College  of  Arts  and  Sciences, 

University  Marshal  Richard  Bar- 
dolph,  carrying  the  University  Mace 
on  high,  led  the  academic  procession 
for  UNC-G's  86th  commencement, 
(See  back  cover  for  the  story  of  the 
Mace,  gift  of  the  Class  of  1926,) 

Over  10,000  gathered  in  Greensboro 
Cohseum  May  14  to  see  bachelor 
degrees  awarded  to  1,492,  master's 
to  573  and  doctorates  to  57.  CBS-TS'

The  School  of  Home  Economics, 
which  granted  the  University's  first 
Ph,D,  to  Dr,  Nancy  White  (right)  in 
1963,  awarded  its  90th  doctorate  this 
year  to  Dr.  Sarah  Stallings  (left),  Dr, 
White,  who  received  an  undergrad- 
uate degree  in  1946  and  a  master's 
in  1955  on  the  Greensboro  campus, 
is  on  the  School  of  Home  Economics 
faculty.  Dr.  Stallings  is  acting  head 
of  the  Department  of  Food  and 
Nutrition  at  Winthrop  College. 

Lonnie  Albright,  Jr.,  shown  with  his 
son,  was  one  of  thousands  of  parents 
witnessing  UNC-G's  graduation  ex- 
ercises in  the  Greensboro  Coliseum, 
but  there  was  a  difference.  He  could 
have  donned  his  own  cap  and  gown 
and  joined  the  class  of  1978  because 
the  retired  air  traffic  controller  also 
completed  his  bachelor  of  fine  arts 
degree  on  campus  this  spring.  An- 
other son,  Clyde,  is  a  rising  senior.

University  Kudos 


Two  alumnae,  Jane  Summerell  and 
Genevieve  Oswald,  were  among  the 
four  recipients  of  honorary  degrees 
at  the  S6th  graduation  ceremony  on 
May  14  in  the  Greensboro  Coliseum. 

Doctor  of  Laws  —  Benjamin  Cone  of 
Greensboro,  a  retired  corporation 
executive  and  Greensboro  cixic  lead- 
er, serv'ed  as  chairman  of  the  board 
of  Cone  Mills  from  1956-65  and 
president  of  Moses  H.  Cone  Hos- 
pital from  1953-71.  He  was  mayor  of 
Greensboro,  president  of  the  Greens- 
boro Community  Chest  and  later  the 
United  Fund,  and  president  of  the 
Children's  Home  Society.  In  1971, 
he  received  the  Greensboro  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce's  Distinguished 
Citizens  Award  and  also  the  Eleanor 
Roosevelt  Humanitarian  Award  and 
the  B'nai  B'rith  Humanitarian 
Award.  He  supported  man\'  worths- 
causes  and  institutions,  including 
UNC-G,  where  his  •  interests  have 
been  in  \\'eatherspoon  Art  Gallery, 
the  Excellence  Fund,  the  Home 
Economics  Foundation  and  the  An- 
nual Gixing  Program. 

Doctor  of  Humane  Letters  —  Jane 
Summerell  of  High  Point,  formerly 
of  Greensboro,  an  alumna,  class  of 
1910,  served  on  the  Woman's  Col- 
lege (now  UNC-G)  for  32  years.  She 
was  a  graduate  student  at  Columbia 
Uni\ersity  and  taught  in  the  public 
schools  and  at  Winthrop  College 
prior  to  1926  when  she  joined  the 
faculty  of  her  alma  mater,  adxanc- 
ing  to  the  rank  of  professor  of  Eng- 
lish. A  highly  skilled  teacher,  she  is 
remembered  as  a  strong  supporter  of 
academic  integrity  in  the  college. 
She  was  president  of  the  UNC-G 
chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  second 
president  of  Friends  of  the  Librarv, 
and  recipient  of  the  fourth  annual 
Distinguished  Alumnae  Award,  the 
first  faculty  to  be  so  honored.  She  is 
a  former  president  of  the  UNC-G 
Alumni  Association. 


Chancellor  James  Ferguson  conferred  honorary  degrees  on  the  following: 
left  to  right,  Benjamin  Cone,  Jane  Summerell,  Genevieve  Oswald  and 
Charles  Adams. 


Doctor  of  Fine  Arts  —  Genevieve 
Oswald  of  Scarsdale,  New  York,  an 
alumna,  class  of  1943,  has  been 
curator  of  the  dance  collection  of 
the  New  York  Public  Library  at 
Lincoln  Center,  reportedly  the  larg- 
est and  most  prestigious  dance  col- 
lection in  the  world.  In  1970,  she 
won  the  American  Dance  Guild 
Award,  and  two  \'ears  later,  the 
Dance  Masters  of  the  Year  Award. 
For  the  past  five  years  she  has  been 
on  the  faculty  of  the  Ne\\'  York 
University  Graduate  School  of  Arts

scr\ing  as  editor  of  Dance  Bibli- 
ograpJiy,  a  Bicentennial  publication 
of  the  Smithsonian's  Archives  of 
American  Art. 


Doctor  of  Humane  Letters — Charles 
Adams  of  Greensboro  served  as 
director  of  the  Uni\'ersiti,''s  'Walter 
Clinton  Jackson  Library  for  24  years 
until  his  retirement  in  1969.  When 
he  arrived  on  campus  in  1945,  a  new 
library  building  was  urgently  need- 
ed. He  set  to  work  and  in  1952,  a 
new  facility  was  completed,  which 
became  a  model  studied  by  repre- 
sentatives of  other  institutions.  His 
greatest  interest  was  in  building  a 
strong  book  collection  which  grew 
from  114,185  to  more  than  4,000,000 
books  and  microtexts.  He  started 
and  enhanced  many  special  collec- 
tions, such  as  the  Woman's  Collec- 
tion, the  Silva  Collection  in  the 
violincello,  and  the  Southern  Renais- 
sance Collection  of  southern  writers. 
He  also  established  University  Ar- 
chi\'es  and  Friends  of  the  Library.

Alumni  Kudos 


Three  alumni  are  recognized  for 
service  to  University  and  state. 


Dr.  Rose  Pully  '40  has  consistently 
and  successfully  broken  new  trails. 
After  graduation,  she  worked  sev- 
eral years  as  a  laboratory  technician. 
Then  at  a  time  when  relatively  few 
women  were  doing  so,  she  began  to 
study  medicine. 

After  graduating  from  the  UNC 
Medical  School,  she  returned  home 
to  Kinston  and  began  a  family  prac- 
tice which  continued  for  22  years, 
until  her  1976  retirement.  Her  prime 
concern  was  always  for  "the  whole 
patient  —  his  emotional  as  well  as 
physical    well-being"    —    a    concern 


never  limited  to  office  hours. 

Long  active  in  the  civic  affairs  of 
Lenoir  County,  she  has  given  finan- 
cial aid,  know-how  and  involvement 
to  many  projects,  such  as  the  fights 
against  cancer  and  respiratory  dis- 
ease, and  led  the  establishment  of 
the  county  mental  health  program. 

In  1975  she  received  a  Distinguish- 
ed Service  Award  from  the  UNC 
Medical  School.  That  same  year, 
Kinston  and  Lenoir  County  awarded 
her  the  Chamber  of  Commerce's 
Citizen  of  the  Year  Award,  the  sec- 
ond woman  to  be  so  honored. 


Marian  Adams  Smith  "49  is  a  special 
"Angel"  for  the  UNC-G  Theatre. 
Since  1970,  the  Greensboro  resident 
has  been  chairman  of  the  Angel 
.Advisory  Committee  for  the  Thea- 
tre, a  group  which  spearheads  com- 
munity support  for  the  Theatre  and 
raises  scholarship  funds  for  drama 
students.  She  also  served  as  vice 
president  of  the  Theatre  for  Young 
People. 

To  help  dexelop  the  Theatre's 
regional  and  national  reputation,  she 
ga\e  time  and  expertise  to  the  Chil- 
dren's Theatre  Conference,  the 
North  Carolina  Theatre  Conference, 
and  the  Southeastern  Theatre  Con- 


ference, the  largest  regional  theatre 
group  in  the  country,  which  she  now 
serves  as  Administrative  Director. 

She  has  been  awarded  the  Amer- 
ican College  Theatre  Festival's  Gold 
Medallion  Award  of  Excellence,  the 
Southeastern  Theatre  Conference's 
Suzanne  Davis  Award,  and  the 
Carolina  Dramatic  Association's 
Frederick   Koch  Award. 

Marian  has  chaired  the  Alumnae 
Association  and  was  a  member  of 
the  district  and  central  committees 
for  the  Katharine  Smith  Reynolds 
Scholarship  Program.  She  is  cur- 
rently a  director  of  the  University's 
Excellence  Fund. 


Sylvia  Wilkinson  '62  was  described 
by  the  late  Randall  Jarrell  as  "the 
best  prose  writer  I  ha\e  ever  got  to 
teach."  Since  that  time,  the  award- 
v\inning  no\elist  has  done  her  share 
of  teaching  at  the  Universities  at 
Chapel  Hill  and  Asheville,  William 
and  Mary,  and  Sweet  Briar  College. 
She  has  presented  the  manuscript 
of  her  first  novel.  Moss  on  the  Noiili 
Side  (1966),  to  the  Walter  Clinton 
Jackson  Library's  Southern  Renais- 
sance Collection.  Her  second  novel, 
A  Killiuii  Frost,  won  the  Sir  Walter 
Raleigh   Award   for  Fiction,   as   did 


her  fourth.  Shadow  on  the  Moun- 
tain. Cale,  another  work  of  fiction, 
appeared  in  1970.  She  is  currently 
working  on  a  fifth  novel  under  a 
Guggenheim  Fellowship. 

Long  interested  in  auto  racing, 
Sylvia  times  and  scores  cars  pro- 
fessionally for  several  sports  car 
teams  and  has  spent  two  summers 
working  in  racing  pits.  Her  The 
Stainless  Steel  Carrot  (1973)  is  a 
non-fiction  work  about  auto  racing. 
Another  interest  is  children,  and  she 
has  been  a  ghost  writer  of  children's 
mvsterv  stories.

Campus  Scene 


N.C.  at  Kennedy 


It  was  North  Carolina  Night  April  28 
at  Kennedy  Center,  and  UNC-G  alum- 
ni in  the  Washington  area  joined  in  the 
celebration  of  the  North  Carolina  Sym- 
phony's appearance  in  the  concert  hall. 

Prior  to  the  concert,  UNC-G  alumni 
from  North  Carolina  joined  alumni 
residents  at  a  pre-concert  reception  in 
the  Monticello  Room  of  the  Watergate 
Restaurant.  Caroline  Bason  Long  '43 
and  husband,  Senator  Russell  Long, 
attended  along  with  Emily  Harris  Preyer 
'39  and  husband.  Congressman  Richard- 
son Preyer.  The  Preyers  are  barely 
visible  in  the  foreground  in  the  above 
photograph  with  UNC-G  Vice  Chancel- 
lor Charles  W.  Patterson,  III  and  his 
wife,  Eleanor,  who  drove  to  Washington 
for  the  occasion. 

Plans  are  in  the  making  for  a  pre- 
concert gathering  of  alumni  in  the  Chi- 
cago area  on  Tuesday,  October  17, 
preceding  the  North  Carolina  Sym- 
phony's appearance  in  Chicago's  Or- 
chestra Hall  on  that  date. 

Retiring  Specialist 

What  does  a  specialist  in  child  develop- 
ment do  after  retirement?  If  she's  Dr. 
Mary  Elizabeth  Keister  '34,  she  goes  to 


Rome  as  a  consultant  on  the  Internation- 
al Year  of  the  Child  which  is  coming 
up  in  1979. 

She  served  in  Rome  in  the  early  six- 
ties as  Home  Economics  Officer  for  the 
United  Nations'  Food  and  Agriculture 
Organization  before  joining  the  UNC-G 
faculty  in  1965.  She  was  the  first  woman 
to  be  appointed  an  Excellence  Fund 
Professor,  a  position  she  held  in  both 
Home  Economics  and  Education. 

Dr.  Phyllis  Richards,  head  of  the 
child  development  division  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Texas  in  Austin  and  a  former 
Keister  student,  addressed  a  special 
seminar  on  campus  April  25  in  the 
retiree's  honor.  At  that  time  the  Mary 
Elizabeth  Keister  Scholarship  Fund,  an 
endowed  fellowship  in  the  UNC-G 
School  of  Home  Economics,  was  an- 
nounced. 

Byrd  on  View 


A  portrait  of  Clara  Booth  Byrd  '13,  a 
recent  gift  to  the  Alumni  Association, 
was  first  viewed  by  returning  alumni 
during  commencement. 

The  painting,  by  Artist  Henry  Rood, 
husband  of  Frances  White  Rood  '27, 
hangs  in  the  front  parlor  of  Alumni 
House,  formerly  the  Gold  Room. 

Miss  Byrd,  now  a  resident  of  Friends 
Homes  in  Guilford  College,  served  for 
25  years  as  Director  of  Alumni  Affairs 
on  campus.  It  was  through  her  efforts 
that  funds  were  raised  and  the  first 
furnishings  obtained  for  the  Alumni 
House  which  was  dedicated  in  1937. 


Autism  Research 

UNC-G  has  received  a  $255,362  federal 
grant  to  finance  research  on  the  educa- 
tion of  autistic  children.  In  addition  to 
setting  up  a  project  center  in  the  De- 
partment of  Psychology,  the  grant  will 
also  establish  a  center  at  the  University 
of  California  at  Santa  Barbara. 

Directing  the  UNC-G  research  will 
be  Dr.  Arnold  Rincover  (Psychology) 
who  will  work  with  Dr.  Robert  Koegel 
at  UCSB  with  whom  he  has  collaborated 
on  autism  studies  for  some  years.  They 
will  focus  on  the  learning  processes  of 
autistic  children  and  hope  to  develop 
techniques  for  classroom  instruction, 
parent  and  teacher  training,  and  pre- 
vention of  disruptive  and  self-injurious 
behavior. 

The  research  project  also  will  allow 
Rincover  to  operate  an  early  intervention 
program  for  autistic  children  aged 
three  years  or  younger. 


Accountability  Study 

Accountability — it's  easier  said  than 
done  in  the  state  school  systems,  accord- 
ing to  a  survey  conducted  by  doctoral 
candidate  Henry  S.  Grill.  Few  state 
school  systems  have  formal  standards 
on  which  to  evaluate  superintendents. 

Henry,  a  former  school  principal  from 
Valdese,  began  working  on  his  doctoral 
studies  in  1974,  two  years  after  the 
North  Carolina  Tenure  Act  placed  great- 
er emphasis  on  evaluating  teachers 
through  their  principals.  Principals  were 
in  turn  evaluated  by  superintendents. 

In  55  percent  of  the  systems,  evalua- 
tion is  informal  and  conducted  by  the 
school  boards  who  hired  the  superin- 
tendents. There  are  no  uniform  guide- 
lines, and  many  school  board  chairmen 
indicated  the  need  for  boards  to  receive 
some  form  of  training  or  education  in 
evaluation  procedures.

"I'd  rather  be  a  classroom  ham  than  a 
movie  star,"  says  Dr.  Peyton  Hudson, 
assistant  professor  of  clothing  and  tex- 
tiles, who  has  a  starring  role  in  the 
educational  film,  "Techniques  to  Lean 
On."  The  15-minute  color  film  was 
shot  on  campus  last  July  by  communi- 
cation specialists  HoUiday  and  Beall, 
Ltd.  of  New  York  City  for  Burlington 
Industries'  Klopman  fabric  division. 

Patsy  Samples  '78  and  Carol  Hughes, 
a  graduate  student,  "played"  students, 
while  Dr.  Hudson  was  a  natural  as  the 
voice  of  experience.  Most  of  the  film 
was  shot  on  campus,  but  one  segment 
featured  a  real-life  actress,  Annie  Davies, 
who  is  seen  in  commercials  for  Comet 
cleanser  and  Skippy  peanut  butter.  Her 
companion  at  Greensboro's  The  Place 
restaurant  was  a  "good  looking  middle- 
aged  man" — Dr.  Roland  Nelson  (Edu- 
cation). 

"It  is  not  only  a  good  film  for  demon- 
strating sewing  techniques,"  says  Dr. 
Hudson,  "but  it  also  displays  our  cam- 
pus and  the  clothing  and  textiles  de- 
partment quite  well."  Available  to  home 
sewing  audiences  and  students  through 
retail  stores  and  schools,  the  film  has 
become  something  of  a  sewing  circle 
hit.  During  the  first  month  it  was  avail- 


Left  to  right:  Patsy  Samples.  Carol  Hughes,  Peyton  Huds 


able,  over  600  requests  were  received 
for  showings,  and  the  film  is  now 
booked  through  1980. 

In  fact,  Jerry  Holliday,  president  of 
the  film  company,  was  so  pleased  with 
the  film's  success  that  she  has  given  two 
$750  scholarships  over  two  years  for 
communications  art  majors  in  Home 
Economics.  The  first  scholarship  was 
awarded  at  the  1978  Honors  Convoca- 
tion to  rising  senior  Mary  Landen  of 
Lilesville. 


Lectures  on  Dance 

An  eight-part  lecture  series  on  under- 
standing and  appreciating  modern  dance 
will  begin  August  31 ,  sponsored  by  the 
Dance  Division  of  Health,  Physical 
Education  and  Recreation. 

The  series,  which  coincides  with  a 
number  of  dance  offerings  in  the  1978- 
79  University  Concert/Lecture  Series, 
is  open  to  the  general  public.  Instructors 
from  the  Dance  Division,  plus  guest 
speakers,  will  explore  the  development 
of  ballet  and  modern  dance,  as  well  as 
dance  criticism,  lighting  and  education. 
One  session  will  concentrate  on  two 
modern  choreographers,  Merce  Cun- 
ningham and  Murray  Louis,  who  will 
perform  on  campus  in  November. 


The  lectures  will  be  given  on  alternate 
Thursdays  (except  Thanksgiving)  through 
December  7  from  7-8:30  p.m.  in  the 
School  of  Nursing  Auditorium.  Cost 
is  $40.  Additional  information  is  avail- 
able from  the  Office  of  Continuing 
Education,  379-5414. 

Student  Alchemist 

In  these  days  when  students  are  tempted 
to  stay  on  solid  vocational  ground, 
rock-climbing  alchemy  student  William 
R.  Newman  of  Charlotte— leaping  from 
academic  field  to  field  with  medieval 
text  under  his  arm — must  seem  to  some 
possessed  of  more  than  daring. 

The  June  graduate  earned  honors  in 
proto-science  which,  Bill  explains,  "is 
really  science  before  it  became  science." 
He  believes  those  early  alchemists,  who 
dreamed  of  turning  lead  into  gold,  have 
been  maligned  by  modern  "ultra- 
rationalist"  scientists. 


Bill  himself  may  have  picked  up  some 
of  the  tricks  of  the  ancient  trade.  He 
concocted  his  own  interdepartmental 
major  with  a  host  of  advisors  and 
managed  to  transmute  some  heavy 
studying  into  golden  opportunities.  His 
studies  brought  offers  from  several 
prestigious  universities  and  a  National 
Science  Foundation  fellowship  which 
could  total  $22,000  over  three  years. 
He  has  chosen  Harvard  which,  he  notes, 
happens  to  have  some  terrific  rock- 
climbing  nearby.

gram  will  be  fornially  recognized 
when  three  other  major  theatre 
schools  join  as  associate  sponsors. 

The  Kaleidoscope  Mime  Troupe, 
founded  and  developed  by  Jamey 
Reynolds,  has  added  a  new  excite- 
ment to  the  Department.  The  mime 
troupe  performed  before  over  30,000 
people  last  year. 

The  New  Theatre  Series  is  a  new 
program,  created  by  Dr.  Richard 
Mermen,  who  assumed  directorship 
of  the  UNC-G  Theatre  last  year. 
Performances  by  three  outstanding 
experimental  theatre  groups  are 
scheduled  this  year  in  conjunction 
with  the  UC/LS 

The  Theatre  Division  continues  to 
maintain  a  student-oriented  educa- 
tional program.  Over  500  roles  are 
available  for  student  actors  each 
year,  with  plentiful  opportunities  for 
backstage  experience.  Through  the 
support  of  the  College  of  Arts  and 
Sciences,  the  Theatre  Division  also 
makes  outstanding  use  of  guest  art- 
ists. In  the  past  the  Department  has 
hosted  the  National  Repertory  The- 
atre and  such  artists  as  Lee  Stras- 
burg,  Anthony  Quayle,  and  George 
Pal.  Last  year,  the  Warsaw  Panto- 
mime Dance  Troupe  was  in  resi- 
dence for  a  week  in  the  fall  semester; 
and  Rae  Allen,  Artistic  Director  of 
Stage  West,  served  as  a  guest  direc- 
tor in  the  spring  semester.  Through 
the  efforts  of  Cliff  Lowery  and  the 
UC  LS,  he  prestigious  Acting  Com- 
pany was  in  residence  for  a  week 
for  the  third  straight  year. 


Competition  in  theatre  education 
in  North  Carolina,  however,  is  be- 
coming intense  as  other  programs 
catch  up  with  UNC-G.  New  theatre 
faciUties  are  available  now  at  Wake 
Forest,  UNC-CH  and  the  School  of 
the  Arts,  and  new  theatre  buildings 
carry  top  priority  at  Appalachian 
State  and  UNC-W.  In  contrast,  the 
shortage  in  funds  which  left  the 
Taylor  Building  Theatre  lacking  ade- 
quate stage  rigging  and  lighting  con- 
tinues to  plague  the  Department. 

On  the  other  hand,  Batcheller 
concluded  successful  negotiations  in 
1976  which  have  made  UNC-Greens- 
boro  the  home  of  the  Carolina  Dra- 
matic Association.  Having  regional 
and  state  competition  among  second- 
ary schools  and  junior  colleges  host- 
ed at  UNC-Greensboro  helps  the 
Department  maintain  its  position  of 
leadership  in  the  state. 

What's  ahead  for  the  new,  but 
soundly  old.  Department  of  Com- 
munication and  Theatre?  Mainly, 
consolidation  of  the  present  programs 
and  activities  and  more  cooperative 
work  with  other  departments  at 
UNC-Greensboro  and  other  schools 
in  the  Greensboro  Consortium.  Al- 
though there  is  need  for  an  addi- 
tional doctoral  program  in  communi- 
cation arts  in  the  southeast  (there  is 
none  in  North  Carolina,  South  Caro- 
lina, Georgia  or  Virginia)  the  Depart- 
ment feels  that  it  needs  to  work  first 
to  consolidate  gains  already  made 
and  tasks  already  begun. 

The  garden  planted  by  "Teach" 
Taylor  and  Herman  Middleton  is 
now  producing  a  bountiful  harvest. 
Helping  the  handicapped  speak  and 
hear,  stimulating  clarity  of  thought 
and  fluidity  of  expression,  and  pro- 
viding models  of  excellence  to  moti- 
vate new  artistic  achievement  in 
broadcasting,  theatre,  and  film,  the 
Department  is  proxading  an  oppor- 
tunity for  its  students  to  "see  about 
making  it  a  nicer  world  to  live  in." 


(Continued  from  Page  9) 


made  on  government,  and  the  re- 
sources are  just  not  there." 

Dwindhng  supplies  and  increasing 
demands  —  that's  the  jumping  off 
place  for  future  studies  regardless  of 
the  disciphnary  base.  Increasingly, 
the  by-word  in  this  emerging  field  is 
planning,  an  approach  that  has  tra- 
ditionally gone  against  the  American 
grain.  "Until  the  last  decade  or  so, 
Americans  have  been  resistant  to 
planning  because  they  associate  plan- 
ning with  socialism  in  its  most  nega- 
tive form  —  the  Soviet  model.  Now 
the  social  sciences  are  looking  at 
ways  an  advanced  capitalistic  dem- 
ocracy can  plan  itself  more  coher- 
ently, so  that  there  aren't  recurrent 
crises  within  the  society,  and  still 
maintain  a  high  degree  of  partici- 
pation and  civil  liberties  on  the  part 
of  citizens." 

Planning  now  what  to  do  when 
the  oil  pumps  go  dry,  when  food  is 
priced  out  of  the  range  of  most 
citizens  and  when  the  pursuit  of 
happiness  becomes  increasingly  re- 
stricted, future  studies  focuses  on 
problems  that  hopefully  will  never 
be.  "Future  studies  creates  an  indi- 
cation of  options  and  a  sense  that 
futures  are  not  predetermined.  There 
is  the  sense  that  one  can  make  fu- 
tures rather  than  passively  accepting 
futures  being  made  for  oneself.  It's 
frightening,  frustrating  —  and  fun."

Linda  Shuford  Mcintosh  recalled  her  first 
memories  of  Christmas  in  a  Dec.  inters  iew 
in  the  "Greensboro  Daily  News.  "  That

A  New  Poet  —  Grace  Evelyn  Loving  Gibson  '^0  had  not 
written  poetry  since  her  student  days  at  Woman's 
College  until   three  years  ago.  Friends   and   colleagues 
found  her  poetry  so  intriguing,  the  Curveship  Press  at 
St.  Andrews  Presbyterian  College  published  a  collection 
of  50  in  a  volume  titled  "Home  in  Time."  The  first 
edition  sold  out,  something  rare  in  poetry,  and  a  second 
edition  is  doing  well.  Grace,  who  teaches  at  Pembroke 
State  University,  says  teaching  and  ivriting  complement 
one  another.  "The  contact  with  young  minds  energizes, 
and  the  pressures  of  time  provide  discipline."  Her 
poetry  combines  the  Biblical  and  classical  with  images 
from  the  natural  n^orhl.

Shakespearean  Women  —  Dr.  Marilyn  Odom.  Karmel 
Ph.D.  '7!t  explored  the  chancjing  -perceptions  and  roles 
of  ivomen  in  her  summer  vacation  program  for  adults, 
"Shakespeare  and  Women  Today"  at  High  Point  College 
July  2i-30.  Students  attended  productions  of  the  N.C. 
Shakespeare  Festival  in  High  Point  and  met   with 
professors  of  English,  philosophy  and  history.  "The  role 
of  women  was  not  always  that  portrayed  by  writers." 
She    believes   women   accepted    the   identity    of   the 
fainting,  blushing  women  of  literature,  forgetting  their 
leadership  roles. 


The  Managerial  Woman  —  Blythe  Carroll  Hampton 
Ph.D.  '7S  was  surprised  by  the  findings  of  her  doctoral 
dissertation  on  management  motivation  for  men  and 
women.  Measuring  the  motivation  of  nearly  200  students 
in  UNC-G's  School  of  Business  and  Economics,  she 
found  no  significant  sex  differences;  however,  men  were 
found  to  be  more  competitive.  This  may  account  for  the 
fact  that  women  hold  far  less  than  half  of  the  available 
managerial  positions.   Traditionally,  men  have   been 
afraid  to  see  ivomen  in  charge,  but,  says  Blythe,  "There 
is  a  new  day  coming."

ANCIENT 

EGYPT 


Two  deluxe  trips  —  to  the  mysterious 
and  legendary  realms  of  the  Orient 
and  Ancient  Egypt  —  will  be  spon- 
sored by  UNC-G  Alumni  in  the  fall 
and  winter,  marking  the  association's 
first  venture  into  educational  tours. 

A  22-day  trip  to  the  Orient  departs 
October  7,  1978,  from  Chicago,  with 
an  overnight  stay  in  Anchorage, 
Alaska,  then  on  to  Japan.    First  stop

ancient  capital  of  Kamakura,  to  Mount 
Fuji,  and  on  via  Bullet  Train  to 
Kyoto.   Taipei  is  next  on  the  itinerary, 
then  Hong  Kong  where  the  group 
will  have  a  chance  to  explore  the 
New  Territories,  right  up  to  the  bor- 
der of  the  People's  Republic  of  China, 
before  departing  for  Bangkok  and 
some  encounters  with  Thai  villages, 
cultural  events  and  night  life.    Malay- 
sian fare  will  mark  the  stay  in  Singa- 
pore, before  a  return  to  Hong  Kong 
and  departure  home  via  Seattle  for  an 
overnight  stay  and  an  optional  trip 
to  the  King  Tut  exhibit.  The  tour  will 
return  to  Chicago  October  29.

across  the  Nile  will  put  the  group  in 
Thebes  to  visit  the  Valley  of  the  Kings 
and  to  descend  into  the  tombs  of 
Tutankhamun.    Explorations  will

Historic 

Symbol 


•  The  British  House  of  Commons 
has  one  ...  a  wooden  staff  five  feet 
long,  ornamented  with  gold  leaf  and 
surmounted  by  a  gilded  crown.  It  is 
placed  as  a  symbol  of  royal  authority 
on  the  Treasury  table  in  the  House 
of  Commons  at  the  opening  of  each 
session. 

•  The  United  States  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives has  one  ...  a  plain  staff 
surmounted  by  an  eagle.  During 
sessions  it  stands  in  a  marble  pedestal 
at  the  right  of  the  Speaker. 

•  And  now  the  University  of  North 
Carobna  at  Greensboro  has  one  .  .  . 
four  feet  of  polished  walnut  with 
more  than  13  pounds  of  hand-chased 
silver.  It  was  carried  for  the  first 
time  in  the  academic  procession  of 
the  86th  Commencement  on  May  14 
by  the  Faculty  Marshal,  Dr.  Rich- 
ard Bardolph. 

The  Mace  is  an  ancient  symbol, 
dating  back  to  the  Middle  Ages 
when  it  was  used  for  breaking  armor. 
Through  the  centuries  it  has  become 
an  ensign  of  University  authority,  per- 
haps symbolic  of  breaking  through 
the  carapace  of  ignorance  and  big- 
otry. 


The  Mace  Committee  from  the  class  of  '26  includes:   (left  to  right),   Marjorie  Hood, 
Eleanor  Vanneman  Benson,   Hilda  Weil   Wallerstein,   and   Hermene  Warlick   Eichhorn. 


The  vase  or  head  of  the  Univer- 
sity's Mace  bears  the  current  seal  of 
UNC-G  and  the  reverse  side  bears 
the  Great  Seal  of  the  State  of  North 
Carohna.  It  also  bears  the  three 
seals  of  the  State  Normal  and  Indus- 
trial School,  the  North  Carolina  Col- 
lege for  Women  and  the  Woman's 
College  of  the  University  of  North 
Carolina,  each  placed  at  120  degrees 
to  circumscribe  the  vase. 

The  staff  of  the  Mace  is  of  black 
walnut,  one  of  the  most  widely  used 
woods  in  the  furniture  industry 
which  is  dominant  in  the  Greensboro 
area.  The  staff  is  broken  by  a  three- 
banded  nodus,  symbolic  of  the  Uni- 
versity's development  as  part  of  the 
Consolidated  University,  composed 
of  the  Woman's  College,  the  Uni- 
versity of  North  Carolina  and  North 
Carolina  State  College  of  Agricul- 
ture and  Engineering.  The  spiral 
band  both  above  and  below  the 
three-banded  nodus,  symbolic  of  the 
continuing  development  of  the  Uni- 
versity, tics  the  current  institution  to 
the  region  and  state.  The  staff  be- 
gins in  a  band  of  dogwood  flowers, 
the  State  flower,  and  terminates  in 
a  finial  representing  the  pine  cone 
of  the  State  tree. 


It  was  fabricated  in  Portugal  by 
the  Portuguese  Silver  Guild  under 
contract  vidth  the  Keystone  Silver 
Company  of  Philadelphia,  one  of  the 
oldest  silversmiths  in  the  nation. 
Each  piece  was  hand-chased  and 
bears  the  guild's  hallmark.  The  de- 
sign is  the  result  of  several  years  of 
research  by  Dr.  Clarence  Shipton, 
Chairman  of  the  University  Com- 
mencement Committee,  and  artist 
Jan  Haswell  who  has  studied  on  cam- 
pus several  years. 

The  Mace  is  a  50th  anniversary 
gift  of  the  class  of  1926.  The  idea 
came  from  several  sources,  accord- 
ing to  Everlasting  President  Her- 
mene Warlich  Eichhorn.  "We  felt 
we  wanted  to  do  something  that 
would  add  to  the  dignity  and  sol- 
emnity of  oflScial  functions,"  she  says. 
"It  was  sort  of  an  idea  whose  time 
had  come." 

It  was  officially  presented  to  the 
Chancellor  at  the  Alumni  Mass  Meet- 
ing in  Aycock  Auditorium  May  13. 
In  making  the  presentation,  Hermene 
Eichhorn  remembered  "in  gratitude 
all  of  those  who  inspired  us  and 
nourished  among  us  the  will  to  meet 
the  challenges  of  Achievement  and 
Service  ...  May  it  be  Hfted  aloft  in 
solemn  joy  in  the  years  to  come."
