J^Ottk  CUtOlMaHS  have  a  fondness  for 
tradition.  In  these  disquieting  times  of  change,  extra 
satisfaction  derives  from  things  that  do  not  change - 
such  as  the  inauguration  of  a  governor,  especially  one 
who  follows  his  father  to  that  high  office.  For  this  reason 
and  because  of  the  fair  alumna  by  his  side  (Jessie  Rae 
Osborne  Scott),  The  Alumni  News  for  the  first  time  fea- 
tures the  inauguration  of  a  governor.  Robert  Scott  son 
of  the  late  Squire  of  Haw  River,  his  youthful  First  Lady 
and  their  winning  brood  of  five  children  already  have 
provided  jaded  newsmen  with  fresh  copy  on  doings 
in  the  Blount  Street  Mansion. 

Who  is  the  student  at  the  University  at  Greensboro - 
what  does  he  want?  One  way  to  find  out  is  to  let  him 
speak  for  himself.  Dr.  Warren  Ashby  invited  nine  stu- 
dents to  engage  in  a  dialogue  "telling  it  like  it  is   about 
the  University,   the  community   and  themselves,    ihe 
resulting  exchange,  much  edited  due  to  space,  is  car- 
ried with  their  approval  in  this  issue.  No  conclusion 
was  reached  nor  was  one  sought.  The  students  were 
encouraged  to  speak  out  and  they  did.  .  .  .  Since  parents 
are  another  source  of  information,  questionnaires  were 
mailed  to  nearly  100  alumnae  who  are  mothers  of  stu- 
dents now  enrolled  at  the   University.  Their   replies, 
compiled  as  statistics,  are  included  in  "The  Parents 
Point-of-View."  ...  A  third  aspect,  "The  University  s 
Responsibility,"  is  delineated  by  Chancellor  Ferguson 
who  writes:   "The  University  is  working  to  facilitate 


student  expression  whether  this  be  through  the  Chan- 
cellor's Cabinet,  student  publications  or  student  repre- 
sentation on  University  committees."  But  he  adds  that 
responsibility  for  the  educational  program  remains  with 
the  Chancellor  and  the  faculty  with  "no  disposition  to 
abdicate  this  responsibility." 

On  the  lighter  side,  Elizabeth  Jerome  Holder  recalls 
"The  Way  It  Was"  in  a  far  different  day  of  regulations. 
Further  along  in  the  magazine,  "Focus  on  Students 
presents  seven  students  who  reflect  the  involvement, 
the  dedication,  and  the  mobility  which  makes  students 
today  different  from  those  of  even  a  decade  ago. 

The  future  of  education  in  North  Carolina  is  a 
crucial  issue  facing  the  1969  General  Assembly.  The 
needs  of  higher  education  are  presented  ma  budget 
projection  for  the  Consolidated  University  and  included 
as  an  insert  in  this  issue.  The  needs  of  public  school 
education,  as  urgent  as  those  of  higher  education,  form 
the  platform  of  the  well-organized  United  Forces  for 
Education,  headed  by  Alumna  Frances  Monds  who  is 
profiled  in  these  pages. 

Once  the  Winter  Issue  goes  to  press,  spring  and 
summer  cannot  be  far  behind,  so  herewith  is  a  report 
on  summer  activities:  digging  in  Israel  with  Dr.  Lenoir 
Wright-  digging  in  Winchester  with  Catharine  Brewer

The  Alumni  News:  Winter  1969 


THE     INAUGURATION 

Early  on  the  afternoon  of  Friday,  January  3,  Robert  W.  Scott  became  the 
62nd  elected  Governor  of  the  State  of  North  Carolina.  The  historic  ceremony 
in  Raleigh's  Memorial  Auditorium  marked  the  first  time  m  134  years  that 
the  son  of  a  governor  became  the  State's  chief  executive. 

Richard  Dobbs  Spaight,  Jr.,  became  governor  in  1835,  40  years  after  his 
father  had  left  office.  It  took  Robert  Scott  less  than  half  that  time.  It  was 
20  years  ago  on  January  9,  1949,  that  Kerr  Scott  held  one  hand  on  a  Bible 
and  the  other  high  in  the  air  as  he  repeated  the  oath  in  the  same  auditorium. 
Bob  Scott  then  a  19-year-old  college  student,  watched  proudly  from  the 
audience.  On  January  3,  1969,  Robert  Scott  repeated  the  solemn  oath  after 
Supreme  Court  Chief  Justice  R.  Hunt  Parker.  His  son,  Kerr  II,  10  years  old, 
watched  proudly  from  the  first  row  with  his  four  sisters  beside  him. 


At  the  Faculty  Club  before  the  ceremony  the  Governor's  aunt  and  uncle, 
Hazeleene  Tate  Scott  '23c,  left,  and  Ralph  Scott,  talk  with  another  aunt, 
Josephine  Scott  Hudson,  famous  in  her  own  right  as  the  alumna  who  rang 
the  bell"  on  campus  to  warn  of  a  disastrous  fire  in  1904. 


Ora  Lee  Scott  Walker  '54  (Gastonia),  the  gov 
ernor's  cousin,  shown  here  with  her  mother,  France 
Somers  Scott  '23x  (Burlington),  his  aunt,  was  in  th 
figure  at  Kerr  Scott's  inaugural  ball.

Kerr  Scott  and  mother  of  the  new  Governor,  pauses  over  roast  beef  and  baked 
chicken  during  a  luncheon  at  North  Carolina  State  University  Faculty  Club 
following  the  ceremony.  Aides  described  Governor  Scott  as  "cool  as  a 
cucumber"  the  day  before  the  inauguration.  The  tight  schedule  of  activity  ran 
flawlessly  and  remarkably  on  time,  beginning  with  a  ball  Thursday  night  and 
ending  with  a  reception  Friday  evening.

Jessie  Rae  Osborne  Scott  '51,  beam  in 
the  face  of  clicking  shutters  and  blind- 
ing flashbulbs  as  they  ride  in  state  to 
the  parade  reviewing  stand  on  Fayette- 
ville  Street. 


Kerr  Scott,  10,  who  proved  his  mettle 
at  the  inaugural  ball  when,  as  honorary 
chief  marshall,  he  walked  alone  the 
length  of  the  Raleigh  Coliseum,  stands 
with  his  sisters,  Mary  and  Margaret,  12- 
year-old  twins,  Susan,  11,  and  Janet,  go- 
ing-on-six. 


Among  the  dignitaries  in  Raleigh 
Memorial  Auditorium  were,  left  to  right, 
Leia  Wade  Phillips  '20,  Guilford  Repre- 
sentative Charles  W.  Phillips,  Mary  Mc- 
Lean McFadyen  '29  and  Hoke  Represen- 
tative Neill  W.  McFadyen.  "Mr.  Charlie" 
was  Public  Relations  Director  for  the 
University  at  Greensboro  until  his  "re- 
tirement" and  entry  into  politics. 


THE   INAUGURAL  BALL 


Governor  and  Mrs.  Robert  Scott  had  reason 
to  be  proud  of  their  five  children,  all  of  whom 
attended  the, inaugural  gala  and  sat  with  decorum 
on  the  platform  with  the  Cabinet  of  State. 


Betsy  Jenkins  Lee  Griffin  '44c  will  miss  the  legis- 
lative activity  this  session  since  her  husband,  C.  Frank 
Griffin,  who  served  the  two  previous  terms  in  the 
Senate,  did  not  run  due  to  a  rotation  system  in  his 
district  (the  24th  senatorial). 


Faye  West  Warren  '41  remembers  her  first 
inaugural  ball  when  Kerr  Scott  was  inaugurated 
and  her  husband.  Senator  Stewart  B.  Warren, 
right,  had  just  been  elected  to  office.  Their 
daughter,  Betsy,  who  may  be  a  UNC-G  fresh- 
man next  year,  was  in  the  figure. 


Senator  Geraldine  Rasmussen  Nielson  '64  (ME  '66) 
senator  from  the  22nd  district,  poses  near  the  bandstand 
with  her  husband,  Eldon  D.  Nielson.  A  resident  of  Wm- 
ston-Salem,  she  is  one  of  three  women  in  the  1969  Gen- 
eral Assembly  (two  in  the  Senate). 

Other  alumnae  who  are  wives  of  legislators  but  are 
not  included  in  this  section  are:  Jessie  Sapp  Edwards  '51, 
wife  of  Sen.  Elton  Edwards,  Greensboro;  Mildred  Scott 
Griffin  '20c  (Sen.  Edward  F.  Griffin,  Louisburg);  Ins  Rawles 
Patterson  '35x  (Sen.  Frank  N.  Patterson,  Jr.,  Albemarej; 
Carol  Street  McMillan  '46,  wife  of  Rep.  A.  A.  McMillan, 
Raleigh;  Anne  Miller  Twiggs  '58x  (Rep.  Howard  Twiggs, 
Raleigh);  Etta  Howard  Love  '60x  (Rep.  Jimmy  L.  Love, 
Sanford);  Mary  Wallace  McMichael  '60  MEd  (Rep.  Jule 
McMichael,  Reidsville);  Frances  Davis  Mills  '50  (Rep.  Fred 
M.  Mills,  Wadesboro);  Jincy  Owen  Messer  '34  (Rep. 
Ernest  B.  Messer,  Canton). 


Charlesanna  Walker  Leatherman  '48  attended  every  event 
on  the  inaugural  calendar  since  her  husband,  Representative 
Clarence  E.  Leatherman  of  Lincolnton,  was  a  member  of  the 
Inaugural  Committee.  Their  oldest  daughter,  Celia,  who  arrived 
Friday  morning  to  play  the  flute  and  march  in  the  parade, 
refused  the  comfortable  overnight  accommodations  offered  by 
her  parents,  preferring  the  excitement  of  a  bus  ride  to  and  from 
Raleigh  with  her  high  school  band. 


Margot  Roberts,  sophomore  at  the  University  and  a 
sponsor  for  the  ball,  talks  with  her  mother,  Lucile  Roberts 
Roberts   '41,  and   father,   Clyde   Roberts  of  Marshall. 


Anne  Beasley  Curganus  '46x  with  her  husband.  Senator 
Edward  Curganus  (Williamston),  left  the  University  at  Greens- 
boro after  one  year,  completing  her  degree  at  Eastern  Carolina 
University.  Their  family  includes  Ed  Jr.,  six,  and  Ray,  almost  a 
year  old. 


One  of  the  prettiest  sponsors  was  Mary  Norris  Preyer, 
right,  daughter  of  Congressman  L.  Richardson  Preyer 
(Emily  Harris  '39).  Her  brother,  L.  Richardson  Preyer,  Jr., 
was  her  escort.  (Emily  and  Rich  were  in  Washington  for 
the  opening  of  the  new  Congress.) 


THE     RECEPTION 


Jessie  Rae  in  a  strikingly  simple  red  velvet 
dress  designed  with  low  scoop  neckline, 
jeweled  waist,  and  softly  gathered  skirt,  smiles 
as  she  descends  the  staircase  in  the  majestic 
Blount  Street  Mansion. 


Governor  and  Mrs.  Scott  welcome  John  A.  Lang  of  Carthage  at  their  first 
official  reception  Friday  evening  in  the  Executive  Mansion. 


The  Faculty  Trio  of  the  University  at  Greensboro  who  provided  music  for 
the  reception  are:  David  Moskovitz,  violin;  Arthur  Hunkins,  cello,  and  George 
Kiorpes,  piano. 


Mrs.  Claude  T.  Bowers,  a  frequent  visitor 
at  the  Mansion  as  wife  of  Adjutant  General 
Claude  T.  Bowers  of  the  National  Guard,  offers 
a  hand  to  the  Mansion's  youngest  resident, 
Janet,  demure  in  yellow  silk  organza  with 
vellnw   lace.

Frances  Fowler  Monds 


As  First  Lady  of  North  Carolina  PTA  last  year,  Frances 
Fowler  Monds  was  a  member  of  the  United  Forces  for 
Education,  composed  of  10  state  organizations  dedicated 
to  enriching  public  school  education.  She  spoke  forth- 
rightly  on  issues  facing  the  public  schools,  using  knowledge 
gained  firsthand  through  25  years  of  close  association  with 
schools,  both  as  teacher  and  parent.  It  was  no  surprise  a 
year  ago  when  she  was  elected  to  head  UFE  directing  its 
course  through  the  crucial  period  ahead  when  the  1969 
General  Assembly  will  be  asked  to  act  upon  a  three-point, 
$200  million  education  program. 

"I  graduated  from  Woman's  College  in  1933  and  be- 
gan teaching  for  $70  a  month.  It  was  at  a  time  when  the 
state  first  took  on  full  support  of  the  public  school  sys- 
tem," she  recalls.  Her  certificate  was  to  teach  high  school 
English,  but  her  first  job  was  teaching  fourth  grade  in 
Marion.  "They  told  me  I  could  change  to  high  school 
after  a  month,  but  by  that  time  I  couldn't  leave  the 
little  ones."  She  taught  elementary  school  for  13  years 
in  Marion  and  Williamston,  then  returned  to  her  native 
Hertford  to  teach,  later  to  marry  R.  S.  Monds,  a  soybean 
and  peanut  dealer  and  a  sometimes-woodcraftsman.  She 
stopped  teaching  when  they  adopted  twin  sons:  Perry, 
now  a  senior  (psychology)  at  East  Carolina  University, 
and  Price,  a  senior  (business  administration)  at  the  Uni- 
versity at  Chapel  Hill. 

Frances  became  active  in  PTA  and  soon  realized  its 
possibilities  as  a  power  in  education.  The  reaHzation  was 
verified  when,  as  president  of  the  Perquimans  PTA,  she 
helped  spearhead  a  local  school  ta.x  study  which  ended 
in  passage  of  the  first  school  tax  in  the  county. 

An  ardent  champion  of  PTA,  Mrs.  Monds  is  also  a 
realist.  "Too  often  they  are  deadly,"  she  says  of  PTA 
meetings,  and  she  works  to  see  that  lively  issues  keep 
them  otherwise.  During  her  recent  term  as  state  presi- 


dent, she  helped  launch  a  drive  to  improve  school  boards 
which  "are  the  weakest  point  of  our  whole  school  sys- 
tem." Purpose  of  the  drive  was  "to  help  board  members 
and  the  public  understand  the  purpose  of  the  school 
board  and  to  encourage  qualified  people  to  run  for  the 
office.  Some  people  don't  know  that  citizens  can  law- 
fully attend  school  board  meetings.  The  PTA  can  tell 
them  differently." 

She  believes  there  is  room  for  prodding  at  state  as 
well  as  local  level  and  that  state  support  for  the  school 
lunch  program  is  long  overdue.  To  help  parents  realize 
the  pinch  that  school  cafeterias  would  be  in  without  state 
aid,  she  helped  plan  15  district  conferences  last  vear  on 
the  subject  of  school  food  services. 

Her  involvement  on  the  state  level  has  not  made  her 
forget  Perquimans  County.  In  1965  she  was  director  of 
the  county's  first  Head  Start  program.  Not  content  as 
director,  she  assisted  teachers  and  students  in  making  it 
an  exciting  learning  summer.  She  is  active  in  the  Metho- 
dist Church  in  Hertford,  and  her  keen  interest  in  Hel^rew 
history  has  made  her  a  dynamic  church  school  teacher. 
Duplicate  bridge  is  a  top  leisure  activity  (she's  a  Junior 
Master,  aspires  to  Life  Mastership).  "Beaten  biscuits"  from 
her  oven  are  a  special  treat  for  guests. 

In  UFE's  drive  toward  continued  progress  in  public 
education,  Frances  Monds  is  urging  at  least  Uvo  objectives 
which  have  long  been  an  interest:  state  support  of  public 
school  kindergartens  and  a  30  per  cent  raise  for  teachers. 
"The  PTA  in  1920  recommended  that  the  state  look  into 
the  possibihty  of  public  kindergartens,  yet  the  last  legis- 
lature was  the  first  to  consider  such  a  program  in  a  budget 
proposed  by  the  State  Board  of  Education  and  recom- 
mended by  the  State  Advisory  Budget  Commission.  I  hope 
I  live  long  enough  to  see  teachers  —  and  preachers  —  paid 
on  a  scale  with  everyone  else." 


The  Alumni  News:  Winter  1969 


The  Unwersit^  and  the  Student 


Nine  Students  Speak 


Twelve  of  us  in  the  university  -  nine  students  and  three 
faculty  -  were  privileged  to  be  asked  by  The  Alumni  News 
to  have  a  conversation  about  the  concerns  of  students.  This 
is  a  transcription  of  those  conversations.  It  has  been  neces- 
sary, of  course,  to  delete  considerable  material  from  eight 
hours  of  talk;  but  the  order  of  the  unstructured  conversa- 
tions and  the  wording  has  been  retained.  The  major  omis- 
sion, and  a  serious  one,  results  from  the  fact  that  we  did 
not  turn  on  the  tape  recorder  until  we  had  become  ac- 
quainted with  each  other.  In  that  first  introductory  session 
the  students  talked  about  their  attitudes  toward  the  con- 
temporary world.  The  subject  arose  later,  but  there  was 
not  the  opportunity  to  explore  it  again  as  fully  as  we  would 
have  liked. 

While  these  are  the  words  that  were  spoken,  no  printed 
report  can  convey  the  quality  of  our  encounter  -  the  seri- 
ousness and  humor,  the  intensity  and  excitement  of  talk, 
nor  those  nuances  of  inflection  and  facial  expression  that 
constitute  so  much  of  genuine  communication.  In  par- 
ticular, the  report  cannot  reveal  the  contribution  of  those 
whose  words  are  less  often  reported;  for  it  was  frequently 
those  persons  who  by  their  active  participation  in  quiet 
response  elicited  the  ideas  of  others. 

The  faculty  made  no  plans  in  advance  except  to  agree 
that  our  role  should  be  that  of  asking  questions  and  listen- 
ing to  the  students.  The  fact  that  they  would  not  limit  them- 
selves to  that  role  is  the  most  eloquent  testimony  to  the 
excitement  and  equality  of  the  conversations.  The  three 
faculty  who,  it  is  clear,  do  not  always  agree  with  the  stu- 
dents or  with  each  other,  say  simply;  "These  and  the  many 
other  students  at  our  university,  in  all  their  variety  and 
vitality,  have  something  to  say.  We  had  better  listen  to 

them."

In  the  photograph,  on  the  floor,  left  to  right:  Randall 
(Randy)  Terry  72  (Winston-Salem)  operates  an  evening 
shift  for  the  IBM  1050  teleprocessing  system  which  con- 
nects the  campus  to  the  Research  Triangle.  He  attended 
LINC  summer  school  in  1967.  His  interests  lie  in  public 
and  industrial  relations. 

Karen  Ferryman  70  ( Burlington )  hopes  to  enter  the 
field  of  human  relations,  probably  through  VISTA  or  the 
Peace  Corps.  Active  in  politics,  she  was  an  NSA  delegate 
(1968-69)  and  served  as  chairman  of  the  SGA  committee 
to  study  the  "no  closing  hours"  edict. 

Charles  A.  Martin  72  (Winston-Salem)  appeared  as 
Chief  Manteo  in  The  Lost  Colony  at  Manteo  last  summer. 
A  student  at  the  North  Carolina  School  of  Perfoiming  Arts 
for  three  years,  he  worked  in  summer  stock  in  1967  with 
the  Winston-Salem  Festival  Theatre. 

Susan  Ballinger  70  (Matthews)  is  president  of  the 
junior  class  and  a  Reynolds  scholar.  She  is  majoring  in 
history  and  looks  forward  to  teaching  in  a  public  school, 
a  university  or  the  mission  field. 

Sue  Clement  70  (Sneads  Ferry)  attended  the  first 
UNC-G  Institute  in  Middle  America  last  summer.  She  re- 
ceived one  of  the  first  annual  excellence  awards  in  history 
and  political  science  and  is  interested  in  a  career  in  cul- 
tural anthropology.

a  dialogue . , . 


Ashby:  Students  and  faculty  constitute  the  center  of  the 
University.  Let  us  move  to  diat  center  with  your  experi- 
ence and  views  of  academic  life,  of  faculty,  of  courses, 
of  curricula. 

Burgess:  This  really  gets  us  into  the  whole  area  of  stu- 
dent-faculty relations,  and  the  v^dshes  and  expectations 
of  students  relative  to  faculty. 

Susan:^    Just  a  couple  of  horns  ago  someone  said  to  me, 
"I  can't  work  for  a  professor,  I  can't  accomplish  anything 
in  a  course,  if  I  really  don't  think  he  has  any  respect  for 
the  students,  if  I  feel  he's,  he's  .  .  ." 
Randi:     Too  busy  publishing. 

Susan:  ^  Not  necessarily  that.  I  tliink  she  meant  that  she 
couldn't  work  for  a  professor  if  he  couldn't  care  less  about 
students. 

Karen:  Couldn't  care  less  whetlier  he  taught  the  course 
or  not. 

Candy:  I've  had  a  problem  widi  professors  who  were 
too  concerned  with  going  by  the  departmental  syllabus. 
Everything  has  to  be  done  by  a  certain  time  no  matter 
whether  something  previously  discussed  had  really  in- 
volved a  lot  of  tlie  sti^idents.  We  had  to  read  this  story 
by  the  end  of  this  week  no  matter  whether  students  want 
to  do  outside  research  or  not.  This  alienates  the  students 
because  when  they  find  their  own  thing  in  a  course  it 
doesn't  seem  to  matter  to  the  professor.  It's  too  impersonal, 
too  detached. 

Ashby:  Was  the  professor  on  his  own  keeping  too  close 
to  the  curriculum  or  was  the  department  expecting  this 
of  him? 

Candy:  I  reaUy  don't  know.  It  seems  to  me  that  a  really 
good  professor  would  have  to  be  more  concerned  with 
satisfying  the  students  than  with  satisfying  the  depart- 
ment. 

Biu-gess:  We've  mentioned  a  good  professor.  What  are 
the  criteria  that  go  into  making  up  a  good  professor? 

Randi:  I  think  it  depends  on 
die  course  you're  taking,  what 
a  good  teacher  is.  I've  had  two 
professors  who,  I  think,  have 
been  excellent;  and  diey  were 
just  as  difi^erent  as  night  and 
day.  One  conducted  his  course 
strictly  by  dn-owing  out  ques- 
tions to  the  class  which  they'd 
try  to  answer  and  discuss  from 
different  points  of  view.  He 
rarely  said  anything.  He  lis- 
teried  and  wandered  around  the  room.  All  of  a  sudden 
he'd  throw  in  another  question.  And  you'd  diink,  "Aha!" 


Randi 


and  you'd  get  off  on  a  hghter  track  than  you  were  on 
before,  till  at  die  end  self-realization  happened  more  than 
anytliiiig  else. 

The  other  one  was  a  lecturer  who  made  Shakespeare 
alive  for  me  by  just  reading  it.  In  bodi  cases  I  think  the 
essential  thing  is  teacher  respect  for  the  student  as  well 
as  student  respect  for  die  teacher. 
Burgess:     A  student  and  professor  trusting  or  not  trusting. 

Student-Faculty  Relations 
Charles:  This  is  one  of  the  first  diings  I  thought  of  when 
we  got  into  diis  area.  I  feel  that  die  faculty  here  is  ex- 
tremely impersonal.  I've  never  been  in  a  college  before, 
but  I  have  had  teachers  on  another  level  and  people  I 
really  respected.  They  didn't  have  to  call  me  "Mr.  So-and- 
so"  or  the  other  person,  "Miss  So-and-so."  And  they  didn't 
have  to  be  so  closed. 
Ashby:     What  do  you  mean  "closed"? 

Charles:  "Closed."  I  sense 
that  the  facvdty  is  scared  to 
get  near  the  students,  extreme- 
ly scared,  within  the  class- 
room. I  haven't  approached 
I  the  faculty  outside  the  class- 
f  room.  Maybe  when  they  are 
not  up  there  behind  the  desk 
or  lectern  hiding,  it's  a  differ- 
ent thing.  But  it's  been  an  ex- 
tremely impersonal  thing  in 
the  classrooiii  and  I  don't  think 
my  classes  are  that  large.  If  diey  could  open  up,  I  diink 
the  students  would  open  up.  There  would  be  a  much 
better  atmosphere  on  diis  campus.  I  sense  this  in  almost 
every  department. 

Burgess:  An  impersonality  and  unwillingness  to  com- 
municate: do  you  think  the  students  close  off  because  the 
professor  seems  to  be  closing  off? 

Charles:  Some  of  die  students  come  into  school  diat  way; 
and  I  think  they've  had  the  exact  same  experience  iii 
high  school.  I  haven't. 

Ashby:     You  tliink  many  come  in  not  closed  off,  ready  to 
engage  with  the  professor? 
Charles:     Surely. 

Karen:  Many  professors  turn  off  a  lot  of  freshmen.  You 
turn  them  off  as  soon  as  they  get  here.  You  have  a  hard 
time  going  back  and  creating  any  of  the  openness  that 
you  began  with. 

Carol:  Let  me  defend  this  position  of  die  facult)'  a  litde 
bit.  I  felt  that  way,  too,  Charles,  when  I  was  a  freshman; 
I  was  terribly  disillusioned  widi  my  intellectual  experi- 


Charles 


The  Alumni  News:  Winter  1969 


ences  and  shared  very  little  with  my  professors.  But  now 
I'm  a  junior,  I  am  really  beginning  to  appreciate  this. 
Not  that  it's  impersonal  so  much.  A  professor  has  this  idea 
in  his  mind.  When  he  stands  in  front  of  his  class  of  even  - 
say  15  or  20  students  -  every  student  is  absolutely  differ- 
ent For  tlie  professor  to  be  effective  with  all  of  them  is 
very  difficult.  The  professor  must  be  true  to  himself  and 
his  material.  It's  up  to  the  individual  student  to  learn 
how  to  gain  from  each  professor.  If  that  means  the  pro- 
fessor, as  Candy  pointed  out,  is  going  by  the  syllabus  day 
by  day,  then  go  by  the  syllabus.  You've  got  to  make 
compromises.  If  diere  is  something  you  are  particularly 
interested  in,  it's  the  student's  responsibility  to  dig  Uiis  out 
for  himself  or  to  go  to  the  professor  or  to  open  it  up  in 
class  and  try  to  get  a  communication  going.  Just  to  go 
into  class  and  discuss  just  anything  that  happens  to  come 
around  .  .  .  ff  you're  reahstic,  that's  very  difficult  to  do. 

Karen:  Well,  I  agree  that's 
very  difficult  to  do  but  no  mat- 
ter how  the  professor  may  put 
his  material  across  or  what 
technique  he  may  use,  even 
though  he  can't  suit  15  or  600 
kids,  his  attitude  should  be 
open  so  that  they  would  be 
willing  to  go  talk  with  hirn. 
In  a  lot  of  cases  the  professor's 
attitude  when  he  walks  in 
Karen  turns  them  off.  You  don't  want 

to  go  back  and  dig  for  yourseff  if  it's  not  going  to  do  any 
good  in  his  eyes.  t'       r       j 

Randy:  I  diink  this  is  an  important  pomt.  Ive  found 
that  in  the  classroom  you  can't  develop  any  kind  of  per- 
sonal relationships,  but  several  of  my  professors  after  class 
are  very  willing  to  communicate  widi  students.  The  pro- 
fessor's attitude  out  of  class  is  much  different  from  in  class 
Sue:  I  have  to  disagree  with  everyone  inasmuch  as  1 
haven't  found  the  classroom  to  be  impersonal.  My  eyes 
look  right  at  the  professor  and  it  seems  he  is  looking  right 
at  me  and  lecturing  to  me.  I  know  he's  looking  at  die  rest 
of  the  class,  too,  but  I  don't  think  about  that.  Its  just  as 
if  he  and  I  are  diere.  I've  taken  about  27  courses,  and 
there  were  only  diree  that  were  not  stimulating. 
Randi:    Amazing,  that's  amazing. 

Eberhart:  There  is  a  biological  variabiUty  and  difference 
in  threshold,  really.  When  you  are  deafing  with  a  heter- 
ogeneous population,  you  are  going  to  find  people  who  are 
very  receptive  and  people  who  are  not;  and  you  have  to 
decide  in  a  practical  sense  how  are  you  going  to  pitch 
your  material.  You  are  getting  two  different  ends  of  the 
spectrum.  Who  are  you  going  to  satisfy? 

The  Educational  Experience 

Eberhart:  One  question  I  am  very  interested  in:  does  an 
educational  experience  have  to  be  pleasant  always.-'  Do 
you  have  to  learn  always  under  sympadietic  and  stimu- 
lating and  pleasant  circumstances? 

Charles:  In  order  to  stimulate  my  mind,  it  has  to  be 
a  more  or  less  enjoyable  tiling.  It  becomes  a  challenge, 
a  creative  response.  I  would  like  to  walk  m  die  class- 
room every  day  and  say,  "I'm  going  to  learn  sometiimg, 
and  I'm  really  happy  about  it."  I  would  like  to  be  at)le 
to  have  a  ciuious  mind  and  to  tiy  to  satisfy  it.  And  I  d  hke 
to  walk  out  of  the  room  with  something  more  than  tacts 


Sue 


which  I  will  forget  in  a  few  years.  I'd  Hke  principles  in- 
stead of  regurgitating  facts  for  somebody  on  a  test. 

Sue:    When  I  first  started  talking, 
^Mi^^       I  was  thinking  there  are  two  things 
J^^^^^^^   involved  in  learning;  material  and 
#^^^^^1^  people.  Your  ideal  professor  has  to 
'     m^^H^^B^deal  with  botii  of  these,  so  he  has 
T^^BIS^^^'to  be  -  I  don't  want  to  say  "ex- 
jT   ^^V^  cited,"  though  that  is  preferable  — 
t||K^  at  least  knowledgeable  in  his  mate- 
f   rial,   and  he  also  has  to  be  con- 
cerned with  the  material  and  stu- 
dents. In  the  courses  I  have  taken, 
I  have  found  the  professor  concerned 
with  his  material.  But  his  concern  for  the  stiident  some- 
times is  not  demonstrated  as  much  as  it  could  be. 
Ashby:     Has  it  always  been  obvious  to  you  tiiat  the 
professors  are  concerned  first  with  the  material;  though, 
second,  you  implied  you  had  to  look  a  little  farther  to  see 
the  concern  for  the  student? 

Sue:  It's  not  that  he  was  concerned  first  with  tiie  material 
and  second  with  die  student  but  witii  bodi,  but  it's  easier 
to  see  diat  he's  interested  in  tire  material. 
Barbara:  If  tiie  professor  is  wrapped  up  m  his  inatenal 
and  is  ready  to  present  it  and  is  very,  very  concerned  about 
die  student,  dien  die  student  has  to  make  some  effort  to 
get  involved  in  tiie  material,  too.  I  diink  anybody  who  has 
a  quest  for  knowledge  has  to  have  an  impetiis  to  do  out- 
side research.  In  my  case,  it  is  practicing  on  your  own, 
independent  study,  things  of  this  nature. 

Randy:  One  professor  might  feel 
that  his  interest  in  the  material  and 
his  interest  in  the  student  is  exem- 
pUfied  by  his  close  relationship  with 
the  students.  But  the  same  subject 
might  be  taught  by  a  professor  who, 
I  although  he  was  interested  in  the 
students  and  the  material,  might 
feel  that  the  best  approach  is  a  cold, 
hard  approach.  He  wants  you  to 
come  in,  and  he's  going  to  put  it  to 
^^      .  you;  it's  going  to  be  there,  you  get 

it  and  that's  it.  1  had  a  professor  Hke  tiiis  and  it  makes 
m'e  get  down  to  work.  I  might  hate  tiie  course,  but  I  would 
learn  a  lot  from  it.  So  you  can  learn  from  tiie  negative 
experiences  as  well  as  positive. 

Candy:  I  tiiink  the  approach  of  tiie  professor  will  depend 
a  lot  upon  the  personaHty  of  the  professor.  If  you  can  look 
at  him  and  see  the  sparks  come  out,  somehow  he  s  gomg 
to  get  to  you.  ,  .      i_     ^ 

Ashby:  Going  back  to  your  earlier  statement  about 
satisfying  tiie  student.  Candy,  what  does  it  take  to  satisfy 
the  stiident?  What  does  it  take  to  tiim  tiie  shident  on.;" 
Candy:  I'm  most  satisfied  in  a  course  when  tiiere  is  give 
and  take,  tfiat  no  matter  what  I  say  in  class,  no  matter 
how  far  out  it  may  be,  die  professor  can  see  my  point,  he 
can  take  it  in  to  what  he  is  talking  about. 
Burgess:  Doesn't  this  go  back  to  tiie  tilings  some  ot  die 
others  have  said,  tiiat  there  is  a  sense  of  mutiial  respect 
bet\veen  teacher  and  student  as  human  beings,  tiiat  no 
matter  how  far  out  you  may  be,  he  respects  you  as  an- 
otiier  human  being  and  incorporates,  as  he  can,  what 
you  are  saying.  ,  , 

Candy:     I  think  tiiat  all  professors  have  to  have  open 
minds.  It  is  essential  because  in  a  class  there  are  so  many

diverse  attitudes  and  backgrounds.  If  a  professor  can  see 
things  only  one  way,  he  is  doomed  from  the  beginning. 

Barbara:  In  some  courses  the 
instructor  has  to  teach  the 
comse  as  it  is.  We  have  to 
admit  that  there  are  certain 
truths  that  are  truths.  Tliat's 
the  way  professors  have  to  be, 
guiding  the  students  down  the 
right  path  but  giving  them  lee- 
\,MaSlf^  ^^'^y  ^°  ^i^  for  themselves. 

-•^^  Charles:    Should  a  student  sac- 

_    ,  rifice    his    ideals?    Reevaluate 

Barbara  thgn^^  ye^^  ^^^  j   ^^  ^^^  ^^^^ 

want  to  sacrifice  my  ideals.  I  think  they  will  keep  me 
young  and  vital  in  Hfe,  not  just  another  peg  or  cog.  This, 
I  hope,  is  what's  going  to  come  out  of  the  colleges  today' 
I  hope  it's  going  to  improve  what  we  have  in  society.  Yet 
I  find  myself  being  suppressed  here,  moving  backwards, 
and  I'm  not  going  to  sacrifice  and  move  backwards.  I'rn 
not  going  to  sacrifice  my  ideals. 

Randi:  I  think  you're  right.  Let  me  say,  "Hear!  Hear!" 
about  ideals  and  not  compromising.  Someone  earher  men- 
tioned the  syllabus.  If  you  have  a  syllabus  and  the  class 
doesn't  like  that  syllabus,  it's  up  to  the  class  to  go  to  the 
teacher  and  say,  "Can't  we  work  something  out?"  That 
has  been  done. 

On  Curriculum  Changes 
Barbara:  Do  most  students  know  enough  about  this 
thing?  Can  students  choose  accurately  enough  on  the 
curriculum?  Syllabusses  and  courses  are  geared  to  help 
us  in  life  later  on  —  to  get  to  graduate  school,  to  get  jobs 
and  things  like  that. 

Randi:^  They're  geared  to  tradition.  Because  that's  the 
way  it's  been,  that's  the  way  it  will  be. 
Susan:  There's  another  side  to  this  that  we're  ignoring. 
If  the  teacher  really  has  expertise  in  his  field,  if  he's  really 
concerned  about  making  the  course  the  best  possible,  he  s 
going  to  have  some  kind  of  idea,  some  Icind  of  goal.  If  a 
teacher  knows  what  he's  doing,  if  he  really  has  expertise 
in  his  field,  then  how  can  we  tell  him? 
Randi:  Are  you  saying  that  we  who  are  learning  don't 
have  the  right  — 

Susan:  ^  I'm  not  saying  we  don't  have  rights.  I'm  saying 
we  can't  know. 

Karen:  Even  if  you  can't  know  it  all,  there's  no  reason 
for  you  to  sit  in  a  course  like,  say,  English  literature  and 
learn  everything  from  Beowulf  to  T.  S.  Eliot.  There's  no 
way  in  a  year  you  can  leam  that. 

Susan:  I  talked  about  this 
very  thing  with  a  professor  in 
the  history  department,  and  I 
respect  her  opinions  very 
much.  She  said,  "I  am  in  the 
same  dilemma  you  are.  Should 
we  spend  more  time  on  the 
things  we  really  get  caught  up 
in  or  should  we  move  on?"  She 
said  there  are  advantages  to 
both,  but  I  told  her  that  I  per- 
sonally was  frustrated  because 
I  couldn't  get  it  all.  She  said  she  knew  that,  she  felt  it 
herself,  but  that  there  was  merit  in  trying  to  cover  a  whole 
period  because  that  way  you  were  at  least  exposed  to 
certain  things.  Your  education  can't  begin  and  end  here. 


Susan 


You  can,  at  most,  be  introduced  to  certain  things.  And 
later  on  you  can  go  back  and  read  to  your  heart's  content. 
Education  should  be  a  lifelong  process. 
Randy:     But  maybe  we're  trying  to  crowd  too  much  into 
one  course. 

Susan:     One  other  point  that  she  made  was,  "I've  got  to 
give  you  some  sense  of  the  continuity  of  political  philos- 
ophy, and  I  can't  do  it  if  we  spend  all  our  time  on  one 
philosopher."  I  see  her  point.  We  tend  to  ignore  this. 
Randi:     We  aren't  ignoring  it  at  all,  but  we  get  sick  to 
death  -  at  least  I  get  sick  to  death  -  of  reading  something 
just  to  meet  the  deadline. 
Sue:  ^  Is  that  the  only  reason  you  read  it? 
Randi:     It's  assigned  in  the  syllabus,  and  I  read  it  that 
night  because  if  I  don't  meet  that  deadline,  I'll  be  penal- 
ized  I  got  a  paper  back  today  that  was  two  weeks  late. 
I  did  it  when  I  had  time  to  do  it  right  rather  than  do  it 
just  to  meet  the  deadline.  My  professor  commented,  "Pro- 
vocative, clear,  a  good  paper,  but,  alas,  awfully  late.  C." 

The  Pass-Fail  System 
Candy:  One  thing  that's  hung  me  up  about  this  Univers- 
ity is  the  over-emphasis  on  grades.  I  think  the  whole  thing 
would  be  better  if  we  had  a  pass-fail  system.  In  high 
school  I  was  totally  involved  with  academics.  I  did  some 
extra-curricular  participation  but  not  much.  When  I  came 
to  coUege,  it  was  emphasized  more,  and  I  got  interested 
in  things  outside  the  classroom.  Then  I  realized  that  to 
stay  here  and  keep  up  with  things  outside  the  classroom, 
I  have  to  maintain  a  certain  average. 

Ashby:     You  have  a  new  argument:  you  want  this  pass-fail 
system  so  you  won't  have  to  work  as  hard. 

Candy:  No,  that's  not  what  I 
meant.  If  I  have  to  take  a 
course  in  art  appreciation,  it's 
because  it  will  make  me  a 
1  well-rounded  person.  Then, 
say,  I  want  to  be  involved  in 
GOTS,  tutoring  underprivileg- 
ed children.  I  would  have  to 
spend  more  time  in  art  ap- 
preciation, three  time  as  much 
as  in  GUTS.  As  I  see  it,  they 
.both  equally  will  make  me 
well-rounded.  Not  that  I  will  have  to  work  less,  but  that 
I  can  work  as  much  on  two  different  things  that  would 
make  me  a  complete  person. 

Do  you  think  it  is  fair  to  limit  a  person  while  he  is  in 
college  to  a  purely  academic  life?  When  you  get  out  of 
college,  you  will  be  in  society.  To  have  concentrated  com- 
pletely on  academics  is  going  to  lead  to  the  sort  of  apathe- 
tic, uneducated  citizen  that  is  causing  all  tlie  problems 
right  now. 

Susan:     Doesn't  academics  teach  the  person  how  to  eval- 
uate his  society?  Doesn't  my  history  enable  me  to  under- 
stand the  current  scene,  or  shouldn't  it? 
Karen:     Has  it? 

Susan:  To  some  degree.  Wouldn't  philosophy  teach  you 
better  how  to  evaluate  your  own  values  and  those  of  other 
people? 

Candy:  I  guess  that  depends  upon  what  you  are  looking 
for.  There  are  some  intellectuals  who  aren't  concerned 
with  relating  what  they  are  learning  to  the  outside. 
Ashby:  The  point  you  are  really  insisting  upon  is  that 
life  in  the  University  should  be  related  for  the  student  to 
life  outside  the  University,  either  now  or  in  days  to  come.

Candy:  I'm  all  hung  up  on  community  involvement.  The 
student  before  he  gets  to  college  is  involved  in  tins  sort 
of  thing,  but  he  is  easily  isolated  when  he  gets  to  campus. 
The  college  conmiunity  is  set  apart,  and  a  student  has  to 
make  an  extra  effort  to  get  across  Tate  Street  to  the  other 
side  of  town. 

Ashby:  Could  you  illustrate  tlie  ways  you  were  involved 
in  the  community  before  you  came  here  and  how  the 
University  closed  this  off? 

Community  Involvement 
Candy:  In  high  school  I  was  in  class  from  8  a.m.  until 
3  p.m.,  then  returned  to  the  community.  I  did  tlimgs  m 
the  Y,  in  church  groups,  and  social  things.  Here  you  go  to 
class,  you  go  back  to  the  dorm,  and  you  stay  right  here. 
You  don't  go  anywhere. 

Susan:     Candy  is  riglit.  Back  in  September  our  class  made 
plans  to  have  a  recreation  project.  The  whole  point  was  to 
get  us  into  a  neighborhood  five  blocks  from  campus  on 
Spring  Garden  Street.  It  is  a  low-income  neighborhood 
with  no  recreational  facilities.  We  were  checking  into  tak- 
ing a  University  bus  on  Saturday  mornings  and  bringing 
the  kids  over  here  for  a  couple  of  hours  of  recreation  at  the 
gym.  I  was  surprised  that  so  many  people  didn't  know 
about  this  area.  You  drive  down  Spring  Garden  Street, 
turn  right,  and  it's  anodier  world.  The  streets  aren't  even 
paved.  The  city  fathers  know  about  diis,  but  there's  no 
pressure  on  them  to  do  anything,  and  they  haven't. 
Charles:     Every  student  who  does  this  sort  of  diing  has 
a  meaningful  experience  diough  sometimes  you  get  de- 
pressed because  it  takes  a  lot  out  of  you.  I'd  like  to  see  this 
sort  of  thing  incorporated  into  die  curriculum. 
Ashby:     Do  you  think  with  a  few  exceptions  the  faculty, 
administration  and  students  haven't  seen  this  and  found 
a  way  to  incorporate  it  into  the  curriculum? 
Randi:     It  is  a  new  thing,  a  social  phenomena  that  is  l^jp- 
pening.  People  are  taking  a  humanitarian  interest.  The 
Universities  will  come  around.  I  don't  see  any  reason  for 
waiting  ten  years  though.  Every  departiiient  m  the  Um- 
versity  could  conbibute  sometliing  to  help  those  deprived 
people,  and  there's  no  reason  in  the  world  that  it  should 
not  be  incorporated  into  the  ciuriculum  that  I  can  see. 
Burgess:     Do  you  think  die  faculty  and  administiration  will 
be  opposed  because  it  is  a  new  diing,  or  do  you  diink  tiiey 
will  be  receptive? 

Randi:  I  tiiink  it  will  be  received  well,  as  least  by  any 
reasonable  person. 

Ashby:  Is  this  the  way  you  feel  about  die  proposals  for 
no  closing  hoius  in  die  women's  dormitories,  diat  any  rea- 
sonable  person   would   accept   diat?   Let's   turn   to   this 

subject.  ,     ,  ^  , 

Eberhart:     I  get  die  message 

of  student  identification  and 
interaction  with  tlie  faculty  at 
what  I  used  to  think  of  as  die 
family  level,  extremely  per- 
sonal, wann,  benevolent.  So, 
okay,  diat  is  positive,  that  is 
what  die  students  want.  On 
die  odier  hand,  tiiey  don't 
want  in  loco  parentis  in  the 
sense  diat  they  don't  want  any- 
Dr.  Eberhart  one  to  tell  tiiem  what  to  do. 


It  is  an  interesting  business  because  you  want  only  posi- 
tive, helpful  suggestions  in  terms  of  stimulatory  mtellec- 
tiial'  experience,  in  the  guiding  of  a  person  in  their  de-  ■ 
velopment  but  not  in  telling  them  what  to  do  m  die  per- 
sonal sense.  All  right,  diis  takes  parentis  and  sphts  it  right 
down  the  middle.  These  are  two  edges  to  die  same  sword, 
and  I  wonder  if  diis  is  possible.  I  diink  it  is.  , 

In  Loco  Parentis 

Candy:  That  is  what  you  get  out  of  the  family.  You  want 
your  family  to  provide  an  intellectual  stimulus,  and,  after 
you  reach  a  certain  age,  you  don't  want  diem  to  tell  you 
what  to  do. 

Barbara:     The  thing  that  bothers  me  about  in  loco  parentis 
is  diat  I  felt  when  I  came  to  college  I  had  broken  with     , 
home.  I  was  out  in  the  world  by  myself,  I  had  to  decide  by     j 
myself.  I  think  you  can  only  go  so  far  widi  tiiis  business, 
like  the  university  telling  you  where  you  can  go  and  where 
you  cannot  go.  i 

Burgess:  Well,  haven't  we  moved?  Are  you  ready  for  the  ! 
new  dorm  regulations?  Are  we  ready  for  open  housing  at  ■ 
UNC-G?  I 

Randi:  This  is  what  the  new  dorm  business  means,  tiiat  i 
no  longer  will  some  detached  person  or  some  institution  ; 
tell  you  when  to  come  in.  | 

Susan:  Don't  you  diink  you  are  going  to  get  some  back- 
lash from  some  of  die  parents  about  the  new  closing  hours? 
Randi:  I  am  sure  we  will,  but  I  tiiink  the  backlash  will 
come  from  parents  who  are  insecure  with  the  job  they  did 
in  rearing  their  own  child.  Any  person  who  has  to  depend 
on  conti-ol  either  by  a  house  counselor,  or  by  a  regulation  [ 
which  is  designed  solely  for  control,  is  a  pretty  insecure 

person.  vi  j 

Ashby:  But  don't  you  know  any  student  you  like  and  re- 
spect who  might  be  put  into  some  position  of  real  drtti- 
culty  by  a  complete  release  from  rules? 
Randi:  No  more  difficulty  dian  dieir  Uves  are  full  of  now. 
Karen:  What  happens  when  tiiey  get  tiieir  diploma.  Does 
that  mean  you  are  mature  and  responsible?  Many  of  the 
social  pressures  you  are  under  right  here  are  even  more 
prevalent  when  you  get  out.  Getting  diat  diploma  after 
you  have  been  here  hibernating  for  four  years  isnt  gomg 
to  make  you  any  more  mature  or  responsible. 
Barbara:  The  point  is  to  have  concern  but  not  control. 
I  think  that  is  what  we  are  rebelHng  against.  I  don  t  mind 
if  you  are  concerned  about  where  I  am  or  if  I  am  sate  but 
I  don't  want  you  to  tell  me  and  to  be  bound  by  your  law. 
Burgess:  How  do  you  tiiink  die  parents  are  going  to  re- 
spond to  no  closing  hours?  How  do  you  tiiink  tiiey  feel 
about  this? 

Susan:  Some  of  diem  are  really  upset  about  it. 
Karen:  I  tiiink  the  turning  point  will  be  in  exactly  how 
it  is  handled.  First,  we  are  going  to  write  letters  to  tiie 
parents  of  tiie  girls  interested  and  tiy  to  explain  to  tiieni 
exacdy  what  tiiis  will  entail,  exactly  where  tiie  responsibil- 
ity lies  now  diat  it  is  no  longer  considered  a  Umversity 
responsibility.  It  is  as  much  tiieir  responsibility  as  tiieir 
daugliters.  Second,  you  will  have  to  rely  on  how  tiie  in- 
dividual girl  is  going  to  approach  her  parents.  If  she  is 
interested  in  this  and  wants  it,  it  is  her  responsibility,  it 
her  parents  don't  agree  widi  her  and  she  wants  it,  tiien  it 
is  up  to  her.  The  responsibihty  in  that  case  is  again  being 
placed  on  tiie  girl  at  tiiis  University.

©Ashby:  Does  this  mean  that 
basically  you  are  satisfied  with 
where  tlie  issue  stands  at  the 
University  and  that  you  think 
tlie  administration  has  gone  far 
enough?  I  am  talking  about 
the  no  closing  hours  for  wo- 
men. Tliose  over  21  are  free  to 
do  what  they  want;  for  juniors 
and  seniors  under  21,  it  is  up 
J-.    .  , ,  to  the  parents.  This  means  we 

^  are  not  talking  about  freshmen 

or  sophomores  unless  they  are  21.  Are  you  pleased  with 
the  way  this  is  going  or  do  you  feel  that  this  is  a  restriction 
of  the  rights  and  freedom  of  the  students  under  21. 
Karen:  Naturally,  I  would  have  been  pleased  had  the 
University  decided  that  this  would  be  an  exercise  of 
freedom  for  all  girls.  I  think  the  administration  has  gone 
along  the  hues  we  wanted  them  to  go.  Yes,  we  wanted 
more,  but  they  gave  us  a  position  from  which  we  can 
bargain.  We  can  accept  what  we  have  now  and  build 
upon  it. 

Randi:  Last  year's  vote  on  no  closing  hours  was  carried 
by  a  majority  of  the  campus  as  it  was  in  the  legislature, 
but  I  think  the  vote  was  more  of  a  neutral  nature  than  a 
positive  vote.  Tliey  thought,  "If  there  are  some  who  want 
this  privilege  then  that  is  okay  with  me."  It  wasn't  a  real, 
determined  "yes"  vote.  I  think  that  is  where  we  stand,  and 
it  will  be  where  we  stand  until  it  starts  working  and  that 
people  start  saying  that  this  is  a  convenience  and  some- 
thing desirable. 

Ashby:  Does  this  indicate  an  immaturity  or  lack  of  de- 
sire for  responsibility  on  the  part  of  students? 
Randi:  I  think  it  indicates  a  hesitancy,  a  very  cautious 
approach  to  change.  I  don't  knock  it.  I  think  this  is  the 
way  we  have  been  reared  for  the  most  part,  not  just  in 
North  Carolina,  and  I  think  that's  good,  that  people  are 
cautious  and  that  they  are  not  negative. 
Ashby:  ^Vl^at  did  you  expect  from  faculty?  Do  you  think 
the  faculty  should  be  interested?  Do  you  think  they  should 
be  involved?  Do  you  expect  them  to  encourage  the  free- 
dom and  responsibility  of  students? 

Eberhart:  I  just  wonder  if  we  are  responsible  for  the  social 
development  of  students.  Admittedly,  you  get  a  number 
of  good  guy  points  for  wanting  to  develop  the  whole  per- 
son, but  is  that  our  business?  Being  on  a  personal  level, 
we  are  going  to  talk  to  students  who  are  our  friends  and 
make  statements  about  what  we  think,  but  is  it  our  job  as 
a  faculty  to  be  concerned  with  the  spiritual  development 
or  your  social  matiu-ity?  At  what  point  do  we  stop  being 
concerned  with  the  whole  person?  Can  the  faculty  be 
neutral  in  that  area? 

Student  Responsibility 

Randi:     When  I  think  of /n  loco  parentis,  I  think  in  terms 

of  the  student's  social  life.  It  concerns  values,  morals,  and 

behaviour.  I  have  never  thought  long  and  hard  of  how 

the  faculty  is  a  part  of  the  picture. 

Ashby:     In  general,  there  is  consensus  in  that  all  of  vou 

think  university  students  should  have  control  over  their 

social  life.  But  there  is  not  consensus  that  they  should 

have  control  over  their  academic  life. 

Barbara:     I  think  we  ought  to  have  some  control  over 


our  academic  life  also. 

Burgess:  To  be  specific,  what  kind  of  voices  do  you  feel 
are  legitimate  for  you  students  to  have  as  far  as  academics 
are  concerned? 

Randi:  Any  voice  is  legitimate  when  it  concerns  some- 
thing that  directly  concerns  the  student.  It  includes  grades, 
curriculum,  hiring  and  firing  teachers. 
Ashby:  Is  it,  a  fair  statement  to  say  that  you  believe, 
as  far  as  the  students'  social  life  is  concerned,  students 
should  have  complete  responsibility;  as  far  as  the  aca- 
demic life  is  concerned,  they  should  share  in  responsi- 
bilities and  decisions? 

Randi:  I  am  going  to  modify  your  statement.  I  think 
it  is  fair  to  say  that  a  student  should  have  the  same  rights 
and  responsibilities  that  any  citizen  in  the  community 
would  have.  That  means  determining  his  own  social  situ- 
ation and  participating  in  the  governing  of  his  community. 
Eberhart:  ^^  This  leads  to  the  question  as  to  who  should 
have  the  "say,"  who  should  have  the  final  word  in  the 
university? 

Carol:  The  point  when  you 
get  down  to  it  is  that  it  is  a 
composite.  It  is  a  community, 
a  democratic  community.  And 
the  ideal  would  be  that  the 
'  people  who  are  effected,  the 
people  who  effect,  and  the 
people  who  have  the  name 
"mn"  the  University,  all  to- 
gether, coming  out  with  their 
goals  to  educate  people.  As 
Randi   says,    it  is   a   growing 

process,  and  everyone  is  involved.  That  is  the  way  it  is, 

that  is  the  way  it  should  be. 

Randi:     I  think  you  are  hasty  in  saying  that  is  the  way 

it  is  now,  but  we  are  getting  there  a  lot  faster  than  we 

expected. 

Eberhart:     Why  was  it  so  slow  in  coming?  Is  it  because 

students   didn't   care   before,    or   because   circumstances 

somehow  created  a  power  gap? 

Randi:     I  think  it  hasn't  happened  before  because  the 

national  scene  has  not  been  as  it  is  now.  Students   10 

years  ago  were  never  encouraged  to  say,  "I  am  a  person, 

too,  and  my  opinions  are  important,  too.  I  have  the  same 

rights  as  any  other  person  my  age."  Now  the  circumstances 

are  such  that  we  are  beginning  to  realize  we  do  have 

rights;  and  it  is  unfair  to  say  that  because  I  am  a  student, 

I  am  different  from  the  people  who  can  stay  out  as  late 

as  they  want  to  or  have  a  drink  in  their  homes  if  they 

want  to. 

Eberhart:     Why  was  one  generation  less  eager  to  press 

this  point  and  now  tliis  generation  is  becoming  active? 

What  is  the  basis  for  this?  Is  there  some  sort  of  historical 

reason? 

Randi:     We  can  really  trace  this  whole  movement  back 

to  Berkeley.  I  would  count  Berkeley  the  starting  point 

where  students  were  treated  almost  like  cattle,  herded 

into  big  enormous  lectin-e  halls,  realizing  that  tliey  were 

just  numbers.  It  is  happening  now,  almost  subconsciously 

here.  I  fear  for  the  day  that  this  place  grows  to  the  extent 

that  we  would  even  approach  another  Berkelev. 

Ashby:     Do  you  mean  in  terms  of  disruption,  of  potential 

violence? 

Randi:     In  terms  of  pure  physical  size  that  leads  to  dis-

ruption  and  violence.  I  think  that  students  are  very  aware 
of  this  increasingly  impersonal  society  and  are  demanding 
some  personality  for  themselves,  some  identity.  This 
comes  in  saying,'"!  want  to  be  a  part  of  curricular  reform, 
I  want  to  be  a  part  of  the  commuinty." 
Eberhart:  This  may  be  true;  but  crowded  Japan  has 
become  a  stimulating  place,  conceivably  because  of  popu- 
lation pressures.  Maybe  the  intellectuality  and  activity 
we  are  now  seeing  among  students  is  the  result  of  pres- 
sures that  weren't  there  among  more  relaxed,  diffused 

situations. 

Burgess:  The  interesting 
thing  about  Berkeley  is  that  in 
spite  of  all  the  rhetoric  about 
impersonalization  and  the 
r-l'<lli^^^H^HHi  masses,    the    applications    for 

enrollment  have  sky-rocketed. 
Students  want  to  go  where  the 
action  is.  So  we  are  talking 
on  various  levels.  Students  are 
"(|  griping   about   the   multi-uni- 

versity and  what  this  implies. 
Dr.  Burgess  Qn  the  other  hand,  they  want 

to  be  part  of  it  because  it  is  stimulating,  it  is  exciting, 
it  is  provocative. 

Randi:  Because  of  the  complex  conditions  that  existed 
at  Berkeley,  the  national  eye  was  focused  on  Berkeley, 
and  it  caught  on.  When  you  hold  up  a  group  of  students 
at  Berkeley,  even  riotous  students,  if  you  can  identify 
at  all  with  their  problems  and  opinions  and  attitudes  and 
with  their  efforts  for  freedom,  then  you  are  going  to  have 
a  general  reaction.  They  got  the  pubHcity,  and  it  just  grew 
to  the  point  where  you  have  Columbia  and  even  UNC-G. 
It  is  a  very  appealing  thing.  Freedom  is  appealing. 
Susan:  It  is  not  all  that  appealing.  Freedom  can  be 
frightening  as  well  as  appealing.  I  think  large  segments 
of  students  wouldn't  want  to  be  right  in  the  middle  of 
something  like  that. 

Karen:  I  would  never  transfer  to  Berkeley,  but  there  is 
something  there  that  hasn't  been  there  before  that  has 
given  them  a  certain  enlightenment.  Even  those  who 
aren't  interested  can  reflect  upon  it  which,  in  itself,  is  a 
good  thing.. 

Susan:  I  thought  we  followed  after  Berkeley  and  let 
Berkeley  influence  us  in  a  way  we  shouldn't  have  because 
our  problems  are  not  similiar  to  Berkeley's  in  1963.  So 
why  should  we  take  the  very  tack  .  .  . 
Randi:  I  don't  think  we  are.  Are  we  taking  the  same 
tack  as  Berkeley?  No.  We  see  what  they  are  doing  .  .  . 
that  is  important. 

Susan:  But  there  are  elements  there  .  .  . 
Randi:  You  go  to  the  National  Student  Association  Con- 
gress, you  have  all  kinds  of  students  there.  You  have  the 
very  radical,  you  have  the  liberal,  you  have  the  moderate 
—  you  don't  have  many  conservatives.  Okay.  I  went.  I  was 
considered  a  conservative  at  NSA.  Believe  it  or  not.  Even 
though  I  was  among  the  conservative  element  I  picked  up 
certain  ideas  from  the  most  radical  of  them.  And  could  ad- 
just them  to  our  own  situation,  I  think.  It  may  have  seemed 
radical  10  years  ago  to  suggest  that  students  should  sit  on 
faculty  committees  and  have  some  voice.  What  they  are 
suggesting,  some  of  them,  is  that  students  should  sit  equ- 
ally if  not  outnumber  faculty  on  certain  committees.  Okay. 
What  you  do  is  adapt  that  to  your  own  situation.  It  is  like 
shooting  for  a  star. 


Charles:     The  student  has  to  run  his  life.  People  today    ^ 

want  freedom.   Students  want  responsibility,  too.  That 

comes  with  freedom.  They  are  two  different  things,  but 

they  are  part  of  each  other.  That,  is  the  key  thing  in  this 

school. 

Ashby:     Do  you  think  that  San  Francisco  indicates  that 

the  students  can  handle  the  responsibility? 

Charles:     Let  me  ask  you  another  question.  Do  you  think 

society  is  able  to  handle  things?  You  are  taking  it  at  the 

student  level.  Let's  throw  it  up  to  the  professors'  and  the 

parents'  level.  Are  they  able  to  handle  the  responsibility? 

The  preceding  dialogue  took  place  shortly  after  President  ^yaliam 
Friday  had  announced  a  "no  closing  hour"  policy  for  the  University 
of  Nordi  Carolina,  to  be  implemented  individually  by  each  campus. 
Student  Government  Association  President  Randi  Byrant,  vi^ho 
participated  in  the  dialogue,  has  written  the  follovring  statement 
explaining  how  self-limiting  hours  will  be  introduced  on  the  Greens- 
boro campus. 

The  concept  of  self-limiting  hours  for  resident  women 
is  not  new  either  to  the  faculty  and  administration  or  to 
the  student  body  at  the  University  at  Greensboro.  There 
have  been  numerous  administrator-student  panels,  open 
student  legislature  meetings,  and  reference  groups,  all 
designed  to  facilitate  understanding  of  the  concept  since 
it  was  first  introduced  at  SGA's  Pre-School  Conference  in 
September,  1967. 

Since  that  time,  the  Committee  on  Experimental  Hous- 
ing has  investigated  various  systems  of  self-limiting  hours 
and  has  formulated  a  policy  for  our  University.  The  prin- 
ciple behind  the  proposed  experimental  policy  is  that  of 
responsible  freedom.  Believing  firmly  that  education 
should  provide  opportunity  for  the  individual  to  assume 
responsibility  for  his  personal  and  social  as  well  as  his 
academic  behavior,  students  consistently  have  pursued  a 
philosophy  which  broadens  the  scope  of  education.  Though 
faced  with  a  vetoed  bill  on  one  occasion,  the  student  com- 
mittee expanded  its  efforts  until  finally  a  University  policy 
was  approved. 

On  November  14,  1968,  the  Deans  of  Students  and 
Deans  of  Women  of  the  Consolidated  University  met  with 
President  Friday  and  adopted  a  policy  which  allows  stu- 
dents 21  years  and  older  and  juniors  and  seniors  with 
parental  permission  to  determine  their  own  hours.  Specific 
details  for  implementation  of  the  policy  were  designated 
the  responsibility  of  each  campus. 

The  University  at  Greensboro  plans  to  incorporate  a 
system  in  the  spring  semester.  Moore-Strong  is  the  res- 
idence hall  selected  because  of  the  number  of  juniors  and 
seniors  who  live  there  and  because  it  is  on  the  perimeter  of 
the  campus.  By  majority  vote  of  the  dorm,  the  selection 
was  confirmed.  Women  who  do  not  wish  to  exercise  this 
privilege  will  continue  under  the  same  regulations  they 
have  now;  not  exercising  this  privilege  will  not  mean  that 
they  must  move  out  of  the  dorm.  Academically,  women  par- 
ticipating in  this  program  must  meet  the  scholastic  re- 
quirements as  stated  by  the  catalogue. 

A  security  guard  at  the  entrance  to  the  dorm  will  per- 
mit students  to  enter  or  leave  by  showing  their  I.D.  cards. 
Tlie  cost  of  the  guard  ( $1,800)  will  be  assumed  only  by  the 
girls  who  are  exercising  this  privilege.  The  cost  per  girl 
will  fluctuate  depending  on  the  number  of  girls  participat- 
ing in  the  program.  A  realistic  estimate  is  $18,  assuming 
that  at  least  100  girls  will  participate. 

We  anticipate  a  successful  experiment  and  look  forward 
to  an  expanded  program  for  the  fall  semester.  D

The  UNWERsriY  of  North  Carolina  at  Greensboeo 


The  University  and  the  Student 


The  Parents*  Point-of-View 


To  what  extent  do  parents  expect  the  University  to  protect  their 
daughters?  Some  alumnae  mothers  give  their  view. 


Two  months  ago  questionnaires  were  mailed  to  91 
alumnae,  all  of  them  mothers  of  girl  students  now  liv- 
ing on  campus.  The  list  was  drawn  from  as  many  classes 
as  possible,  from  1926  graduates  to  the  class  of  1948. 

Entitled  Alumnae  Parental  Opinion,  the  question- 
naire included  a  dozen  questions,  chiefly  concerned  with 
social  regulations  but  also  touching  on  curriculum  and  the 
administration.  It  carried  the  following  introduction:  "Re- 
membering —  even  though  vaguely  perhaps  —  the  'riding 
permission  which  was  sent  to  your  parents  to  sign  and/or 
the  system  of  permissions  which  was  in  effect  when  you 
were  a  student  and  realizing  that  time  makes  a  differ- 
ence. .  .  ." 

The  questions  were  neither  quickly  nor  easily  answer- 
ed. Less  than  half  (42  out  of  91)  replied,  12  of  these 
anonymously.  Those  who  did  respond  gave  full,  thoughtful 
answers  which,  although  varied,  acknowledged  that  times 
indeed  have  changed  and  that  each  mother  was  adapting 
as  best  she  could  to  the  overwhelming  change.  The  ques- 
tions and  replies,  roughly  categorized,  follow  on  these 
pages. 

What  was  your  initial  (or  general)  reaction  to  the 
"Parental  ApprovaT  form  which  ijoii  tvere  requested  to 
sign  this  year  for  your  daughter? 

Eighteen  felt  it  was  too  liberal,  many  of  them  making 
the  same  comment  that  "times  are  a'changing."  Nine  ex- 
pressed shock,  usually  writing  the  single  word  with  an 
exclamation  point.  Twelve  found  it  satisfactory  ("Surprise 
.  .  .  but  no  dismay.  I  am  willing  to  live  in  1968  and  allow 
my  daughter  to.") 

What  was  your  specific  reaction  to  Question  4:  Do  you 
give  your  daughter  permission  to  determine  the  destination 
of  all  overnight  absences  at  her  discreation? 

Twenty-one  felt  it  offered  too  great  a  temptation,  es- 
pecially those  who  were  parents  of  freshmen.  Seventeen 
considered  it  an  excellent  way  to  deal  with  a  varied  student 
body,  and  several  called  it  "realistic  ...  a  clear  recognition 
of  the  fact  that  the  college,  no  more  than  her  parents,  could 
police  my  daughter  if  she  didn't  want  to  be  policed." 


Were  you  surprised  (and  if  so,  why)  by  the  exceptions 
which  were  listed  for  you  to  check  if  your  answer  to  the 
question  was  not  an  unqualified  "Yes"? 

a.  except  for  mixed  house  parties? . 

b.  except  in  residences  with  men? 

c.  except  at  a  hotel  or  motel  with  girls 
or  alone? 

d.  except  at  a  hotel  or  motel  with  a  man? 

Thirty-one  were  surprised,  many  indignant  in  their  dis- 
may. Several  objected  specifically  to  the  reference  to  stay- 
ing "in  residences  with  men"  and  "at  a  hotel  or  a  motel 
with  a  man."  (One  asked,  "Who  makes  out  this  permis- 
sion form  anyway?")  Ten  said  they  were  not  surprised  for 
"there  can  be  no  exceptions  to  a  question  worded  as  the 
permission  for  overnight  absences  was."  There  were  many 
complaints  about  the  ambiguity  of  this  question.  One 
acknowledged,  "I  would  not  expect  my  daughter  to  ask 
for  such  permission,  even  if  she  intended  doing  such 
visiting." 

Todays  college  students  continuously  maintain  (and 
demand  acceptance  of  the  fact)  that  they  are  old  enough 
and  mature  enough  to  make  their  own  decisions  about 
their  comings-and- goings  and  their  conduct.  Do  you  think 
that  they  are  more  disciplined  to  assume  responsibility  for 
these  decisions  than  was  your  college  generation? 

Ten  mothers  believed  they  are  more  disciplined  to  ac- 
cept responsibility,  "far  more  mature  and  knowledgeable 
than  we  were."  The  majority  (25)  did  not  think  students 
today  are  disciplined  for  such  responsibility,  and  five, 
acknowledging  that  students  are  better  informed,  indicated 
"perhaps"  they  were  more  disciplined. 

Do  you  think  they  can  honestly  manage  capably  the 
permissiveness  which  they  expect  and  constantly  seek? 

Fifteen  thought  some  could  manage  the  "permissive- 
ness which  they  constantly  seek,"  while  15  replied,  "No, 
thev  cannot."  Six  believed  they  probably  could  after  the 
freshman  year,  and  four  insisted  the  students  really  don't 
expect  or  want  such  freedom. 


The  Alxjmni  News:  Winter  1969

Today's  students  are  constantly  striving  to  rid  them- 
selves of  regulations  which  require  signing  out,  stating 
"destinations." Do  yon  think  that  siich  regulations  should  be 
"shucked?" 

Only  one  replied  yes,  that  rules  should  be  discarded. 
The  majority  (32)  answered  "No,"  while  seven  thought 
their  destination  should  be  known  in  case  of  emergency 
("All  the  members  of  our  family  tell  the  others  where  we 
will  be  when  we  leave  home.  It  is  practical.") 

Having  given  your  "Parental  Approval"  (or  disapproval) 
for  your  daughters  permissions,  what  now  do  you  consider 
the  University's  responsibility  to  your  daughter  and  to  you, 
her  parent? 

There  was  considerable  overlapping  in  replies  to  this 
question.  Some  felt  the  University  should  provide  guidance 
and  advice  (8);  development  of  character  (5);  or  just 
"stand  behind"  their  daughter  (2).  Others  expected  the 
University  "to  carry  out  our  wishes"  (4);  to  enforce  rules 
and  the  honor  system  ( 7 ) ;  to  provide  a  good  education  ( 4 ) . 
The  majority  ( 14)  expected  the  University  to  know  where 
students  are  and  to  provide  for  their  safety  (7).  Only  two 
felt  the  University  was  not  responsible  in  any  way. 

Todays  students  maintain  that  the  University  should 
not  assume  an  "in  loco  parentis"  position  about  them.  What 
do  you  think  about  this? 

Twenty-five  want  the  University  to  maintain  the  "in 
loco  parentis"  position,  while  three  pointed  out  that  stu- 
dents really  want  discipline.  Eight  felt  it  was  unnecessary 
for  the  University  to  assume  the  "in  loco  parentis"  position. 

In  areas  other  than  those  having  to  do  with  "conduct"^^ 
and  "permissions"  college  students  demand  "their  rights" 
too.  What  do  you  think  these  "rights"  should  be  in  decision- 
making about  the  University's  curriculum? 

Twenty-six  thought  students  should  suggest  but  have 
no  final  word  in  decisions  while  ten  believed  the  admini- 
stration should  decide  vdth  its  obvious  advantage  of  ex- 
perience in  such  matters.  Three  felt  students  should  have 
more  voice,  and  two  felt  all  curriculum  decisions  should 
be  discussed  and  explained  to  the  students. 

What  do  you  think  these  "rights"  should  be  in  decision- 
making about  the  University's  general  administrative 
policies? 

Nineteen  thought  the  administration  alone  should  de- 
cide, and  19  believed  that  suggestions  were  in  order  with- 
out involving  a  decision.  Only  one  felt  students  should  have 
a  measure  of  control. 

Who  do  you  think  should  "run"  a  college  or  university? 

The  administration  (20);  the  administration  with  sug- 
gestions from  the  faculty  and  students  ( 13 )  and  faculty  and 
administration  (6). 

As  you  "compare  notes"  with  your  acquaintances  who 
have  daughters  in  other  universities  and  colleges,  Iww  do 
you  feel  about  the  University  at  Greensboro's  "system" 
(permissions,  personal  responsibility,  decision-making,  etc.) 
as  compared  with  the  other  institutions? 

The  majority  (15)  feel  the  University  does  a  good  job 
while  12  found  the  "systems"  too  liberal  ('The  students 
don't  really  want  this.")  One  felt  the  University  was  more 
responsible  than  other  institutions,  and  anotlier  objected 
to  an  over-emphasis  on  grades.  □

The  UNivERsnY  of  North  Carolina  at  Greensboro 


The  Un'wersity 

and  the  Student 


The  Administration's 
Responsibility 


Chancellor  James  S.  Ferguson 


FOR  a  long  time  the  social  code  at  the  University  at 
Greensboro  has  been  based  on  what  Dean  Harriet 
Elliott  called  "responsible  freedom."  Students  have  lived 
under  rules  and  regulations  which  were  adopted  by  their 
duly  elected  representatives,  and  these  rules  reflected  the 
social  and  moral  values  which  the  campus  community 
wished  to  espouse  and  promote. 

Of  course,  under  the  University  Code,  the  Board  of 
Trustees  placed  final  responsibihty  for  student  conduct 
and  discipline  in  the  hands  of  the  faculty  and  the  Chancel- 
lor, but  it  recognized  the  delegation  of  governing  authority 
to  the  Student  Government  Association,  subject  to  a  de- 
fined grant  of  power.  Student  courts  have  enforced  the 
regulations.  The  practice  of  self-government  has  been  an 
important  part  of  the  educational  experience  of  succeeding 
generations  of  students  at  Greensboro  and,  in  the  opinion 
of  most  observers,  students  have  enforced  rules  of  their 
own  making  more  scrupulously  than  they  would  those 
imposed  upon  them  by  others. 

UNC-G  still  operates  within  this  context.  This  is  a  day 
when  students  all  across  America  are  seeking  a  stronger 
voice  in  the  decisions  that  affect  their  educational  life, 
both  in  the  classroom  and  in  extracurricular  activities.  The 
experience  in  self-government  that  is  now  many  decades 
old  here  is  serving  the  University  well  in  today's  climate 
of  increased  student  involvement. 

The  "Parental  Approval"  forms  that  are  secured  at  the 
beginning  of  each  school  year  are  a  specific  application  of 
this  philosophy.  Recognizing  a  diversity  of  backgrounds 


and  varying  degrees  of  responsibility  that  different  parents 
wish  to  place  upon  their  daughters,  the  University  seeks 
from  the  parents  of  each  student  instructions  to  be  followed 
when  that  student  is  to  sign  out  for  absences  from  the 
campus.  "Blanket  permission,"  which  evolved  here  and 
on  odier  campuses  a  number  of  years  ago,  allows  the  stu- 
dent to  determine  at  her  own  discretion  the  destination  for 
ail  overnight  absences.  But  the  student  does  name  the 
destination,  and  she  accepts  the  responsibility  for  providing 
accurate  and  reliable  information  as  to  how  she  can  be 
contacted  in  case  of  emergency.  Some  parents  wish  to  limit 
such  permission,  and  they  are  given  the  opportunity  to 
name  specific  exceptions  to  the  general  permission  granted 
Both  the  student  and  the  University  accept  a  responsibility 
for  adhering  to  these  instructions. 

Of  course,  it  is  possible  under  such  a  system  to  place 
a  great  deal  of  responsibility  on  a  given  student  -  indeed 
the  same  responsibility  that  apphes  in  adult  society  gener- 
ally. But,  as  many  parents  have  recognized,  today's  stu- 
dents are  on  the  average  older  than  those  25  years  ago  when 
niany  entering  freshmen  were  only  16  years  of  age  It  is 
also  true  that  many  of  them,  because  of  the  influence  of 
modem  communications,  travel,  and  the  type  of  schoohng 
they  have  had,  are  farther  advanced  in  knowledge  than 
were  their  parents  at  the  same  age.  Some  are  ready  for  full 
responsibility.  On  the  other  hand,  some  parents  do  not  want 
to  bestow  complete  adult  responsibilities  at  one  fell  swoop 
Ihe  system  of  modified  parental  approval  allows  for  grad- 
ual adjustment. 

One  tiling  should  be  made  clear.  The  normal  canons 
ot  society  are  not  suspended  for  tlie  student  when  she  ac- 
cepts responsibihty  for  her  own  decisions.  Such  a  system 
when  fully  understood,  urges  upon  tlie  student  tlie  develop^ 
ment  of  a  personal  morality  that  will  sustain  a  life  of  value 
and  thus  stand  the  test  of  time. 

A  primary  interest  of  the  University  is  the  safety  of  the 
individual  student  and  of  die  student  body  collectively. 
Sigmng  in  and  out,  designating  hours  when  residence  hall 
doors  will  be  locked,  and  requiring  that  specific  destina- 
tions be  named  all  arise  from  the  obligation  the  University 
feels  to  do  all  it  can  to  assure  safety  and  security. 

One  further  statement  should  be  made,  and  this  deals 
with  the  University's  position  concerning  the  desire  of 
students  to  influence  decisions  regarding  curriculum  and 
general  administrative  policy.  Students  at  UNC-G  have 
shown  an  interest  in  "educational  reform"  which  they  have 
expressed  in  reasonable  and  orderly  ways -usually  tluough 
the  Student  Government  Association.  Administrators  and 
faculty  intend  to  listen  to  student  complaints  and  sugges- 
tions. The  University  is  working  to  facilitate  student  ex- 
pression whether  this  be  through  the  "Chancellor's  Cab- 
inet, student  publications,  or  student  representation  on 
University  committees. 

It  should  be  pointed  out,  though,  that  under  the  Uni- 
versity Code  responsibility  for  the  educational  program  - 
defining  degree  requirements,  approving  courses,  etc.  — 
remains  with  the  Chancellor  and  the  faculty.  There  is  no 
disposition  on  the  UNC-G  campus  to  abdicate  this  re- 
sponsibility. Both  faculty  and  administration  are  hopeful 
that  they  will  receive  many  creative  and  constructive  ideas 
from  students  and  that  these  will  find  expression  in  a 
steadily  improving  curriculum  and  in  more  efficient  ad- 
ministration. Q

The  Way  It  Was 


Story  and  Illustrations  by 

Elizabeth  Jerome  Holder 
Head  Reference  Librarian 


Headlines  in  the  Carolinian  on  November  19,  1968, 
proclaimed  to  parents,  alumni,  retired  faculty  and  those 
of  us  still  around  on  the  University  campus  that  "President 
Friday  Gives  Okay  for  No  Closing  Hours." 

This  announcement  probably  surprised  no  one  who 
has  been  concerned  with  students  of  this  generation,  al- 
though it  is  not  hard  to  imagine  that  some  so-called  ghosts 
of  the  past  might  have  upheaved  mightily  in  their  graves. 
In  the  very  first  catalogue  of  the  institution  (1892-1893) 
under  the  heading  "Social  Life,"  there  appeared  the  state- 
ment "SJiopping,  visiting  and  receiving  friends  is  (sic) 
encouraged,  but  no  night  is  passed  out  of  the  dormitories 
witliout  toritten  permission  from  parents  or  guardians." 
By  the  third  year  of  the  school's  existence,  the  statement 
that  no  night  must  be  spent  out  of  dormitory  without  a 
written  request  from  parents  or  guardians  had  been 
amended  by  the  addition  of  the  words  "and,  even  then, 
permission  will  not  be  granted  if,  in  the  judgment  of  the 
authorities,  it  would  be  unwise  to  grant  it."  By  1904-1905, 
the  part  beginning  "no  night  is  passed  out  of  the  dor- 
mitories" was  italicized,  and  this  statement  remained  until 
1916-1917  when  it  was  dropped  in  the  25th  annual  cata- 
logue. Very  clearly  the  institution  not  only  considered  itself 
in  loco  parentis  but  was  willing  to  override  any  real 
parental  permissions  if  the  "authorities"  ruled  otherwise. 
It  would  be  interesting  to  know  in  what  instances  such  an 
interpretation  might  have  arisen. 

A  rather  haphazard  and  by  no  means  exhaustive  study 
of  some  of  the  changes  in  rules  and  regulations  relating 
to  weekends  away  from  campus,  men  visitors,  and  riding 
in  automobiles  as  set  forth  in  the  college  handbooks  and 
catalogues  clearly  reflect  the  differences  in  each  genera- 
tion. Many  of  the  students  in  the  first  years  of  the  school 
already  had  taught  before  they  came  to  Greensboro  for 
additional  courses  or  for  a  degree.  They  were  older  than 
today's  freshman  of  eighteen.  Dr.  Mclver  wrote  of  the 
first  class,  "Whatever  regulations  ive  have  made  in  regard 
to  conduct  and  to  study  hours  have  been  the  result  of  a 
considtation  with  the  students  and  of  a  practically  unan- 
imous vote  in  their  favor.  The  students  are  responsible  for 
the  preparation  of  their  lessons.  .  .  .  By  vote  they  fixed  the 
hour  of  10:15  for  retiring  at  night.  With  this  condition, 
they  study  when  and  where  they  like.  The  object  is  to 
throw  resfjonsibility  upon  the  students,  and  to  make  them, 
as  nearly  as  practicable,  a  self-governing  body.  .  .  . 

One  result  of  siicli  discipline  is  seen  in  the  fact  that  of 
100  or  more  students  who  went  home  to  spend  the  Christ- 
mas holidays,  only  two  decided  to  go  before  the  holidays 
began.  One  of  these  was  called  by  reason  of  serious  sick- 
ness in  her  family,  and  the  other  on  account  of  the  mar- 
riage of  a  near  relative.  This  is  the  more  remarkable  be- 


cause numerous  letters  came  from  parents  with  permissions 
or  requests  for  their  daughters  to  go  home  earlier.  The 
students,  however,  do  not  consider  it  business-like  to  go 
before  their  work  is  done." 

Perhaps  the  majority  of  students  today  would  still  con- 
sider it  "unbusinesslike"  to  leave  early  if  given  the  chance, 
but  it  seems  doubtful!  The  fact  that  regulations  concerning 
cutting  classes  before  and  after  holidays  were  long  in 
existence  would  indicate  that  some,  if  not  all,  of  the  young 
ladies  would  take  advantage  of  any  opportunity  to  leave 
early. 

In  the  first  years  of  the  school,  visits  from  gentlemen 
were  restricted  to  holiday  occasions  and  "to  those  stated 

times  when  the  young  women 
will  announce  that  they  are  'at 
home'  to  their  friends  gener- 
ally." This  statement  was  fol- 
lowed by  the  warning,  "no  one 
must  expect  exceptions  to  the 
foregoing  regulations  unless  a 
written  request  for  each  case 
y^comes  from  her  parents  or 
guardians,  addressed  to  the 
President  or  Lady  Principal." 
It  was  not  until  the  17th  an- 
nual catalogue  in  1908  that  this 
statement  was  included:  that 
"under  proper  conditions,  vis- 
its from  gentlemen  will  be 
allowed."  Proper  conditions 
meant  written  permission  from  home,  and,  as  an  alumna 
who  was  a  freshman  in  1909-1910  remembers,  it  also 
meant  entertaining  young  men  in  the  parlor  of  Spencer 
under  the  watchful  eye  of  Miss  Sue  May  Kirkland  and 
in  the  presence  of  all  the  other  young  ladies  fortunate 
enough  to  have  parental  permission  and  male  acquaint- 
ances brave  enough  to  come  calling. 

By  1919,  students  were  allowed  to  receive  young  men 
with  permission  from  parents  and  from  the  Director  of 
Dormitories  on  any  nights  except  Saturday  and  Sunday 
and  on  any  afternoon  except  Sunday.  "Callers  may  not 
be  received  during  the  hours  of  college  entertainments" 
said  the  handbook,  and  since  attendance  at  college  func- 
tions was  required,  this  probably  explains  why  Satm^day 
nights  were  kept  free  from  dates.  Callers  could  stay  until 
the  ten  o'clock  bell  rang  in  the  evening.  As  for  Sunday 
afternoons,  enforced  quiet  hour  was  observed  from  2:30- 
4:30  (also  called  "Meditation  Hour"  at  various  times) 
when  students  were  allowed  to  visit  in  their  own  dormitor- 
ies or  walk  in  the  park,  but  only  out-of-town  guests  were 
allowed  to  call.  One  rule  students  of  today  might  well  envy

The  UNrvERsiTY  of  North  Carolina  at  Greensboro 


said  that  "all  students  may  go  to  neighboring  drug  stores 
until  noon  on  Sunday."  In  the  1920's,  students  "could  speak 
to  young  men  they  see  downtown,  but  they  must  not 
walk  with  them  or  stop  to  carry  on  an  extended  conver- 
sation at  any  time."  Permission  was  needed  to  dine  in  a 
restaurant,  attend  the  theatre,  go  to  any  office  or  to  the 
station.  In  1919  permission  was  also  needed  to  use  the 
telephone,  and  permission  for  social  conversation  was  not 
given. 

Curiously  enough,  there  are  no  regulations  concerning 
automobile  driving  in  the  1919-1920  college  handbook  ex- 
cept the  one  sentence:  "it  is  permissible  for  students  to  go 
driving  with  the  host  or  hostess  at  whose  house  they  are 
visiting,  provided  permission  is  secured  before  hand."  By 
1925,  automobile  driving  was  an  accepted  fact  of  social 
life,  and  the  handbooks  are  filled  with  restrictions  and 
regulations.  Freshmen,  in  1925,  could  on  week  days,  oc- 
casionally ride  with  friends  when  properly  chaperoned. 

Chaperones  could  be  family,  faculty,  seniors,  juniors 
and  friends  approved  by  the  student  Counselor.  To  this 
statement  is  appended  a  note:  "The  Student  Councillor 
must  take  into  consideration  scholarship,  deportment,  and 
frequency  of  this  request"  Exactly  the  same  provision  was 
made  for  sophomores  and  juniors,  with  the  further  state- 
ment in  the  case  of  the  juniors:  In  consideration  of  the  ad- 
ditional risk  of  Sunday  driving  oiving  to  the  congested  high- 
ways, juniors  may  drive  on  Sunday  afternoon  if  properly 
chaveroned,  with  the  approval  of  the  Student  Councillor 
and  the  parents''  Also  with  permission,  juniors  were  al- 
lowed to  ride  back  and  forth  from  a  "picture  show"  or 
entertainment,  provided  a  direct  route  to  and  from  the  col- 
lege was  taken.  Seniors  could  ride  at  any  time  during  the 
day  during  the  week,  but  they,  too,  had  to  have  permis- 
sion for  hazardous  Sunday  driving.  And  ami  student  driv- 
ing at  night  coidd  be  suspended  or  expelled  from  the 
college. 

There  are  many  other  regulations  about  riding  in  these 
years.  Students  had  to  get  permission  to  ride  except  stu- 
dents could  ride  with  women  until  six  p.m.  without  per- 
mission. Also  a  student  could  ride  to  or  from  church  and 
town  with  friends  provided  she  got  out  of  the  car  in 
front  of  the  dormitory  and  registered  the  name  of  the 
person  with  whom  she  rode  if  the  person  was  not  a 
woman  or  a  member  of  the  faculty.  (Plainly  members  of 
the  faculty  were  considered  harmless  and  of  pure  intent. 
Students  were  also  allowed  to  visit  them  off  campus!)  No 
student  was  allowed  to  drive  a  car  unless  the  car  belonged 
to  her  immediate  family  with  the  exception  of  seniors  who 
could  have  cars  during  commencement.  By  the  1950's,  the 
handbook  merely  states,  "each  student  is  responsible  for 
knowing  what  is  included  in  her  riding  permission."  Else- 


where the  admonition  also  is  given  that  a  student  is  ex- 
pected to  know  where  the  city  limits  of  Greensboro  begin 
and  to  stay  within  the  limits  when  driving. 

A  few  other  regulations  which  seem  curious  to  today's 
generation  might  be  mentioned  briefly.  That  institution 
known  as  "walking  period"  which  most  students  seem  to 
have  detested  but  which  was  rigidly  enforced  had  a  special 
set  of  rules.  "Rooms  must  be  thoroughly  aired  at  walking 
period.  Heat  must  be  turned  off  when  windows  are  open." 
Walking  period  was  the  subject  of  editorials  in  the  student 
publications  for  many  years,  one  of  which  is  typical: 

"If  we  did  not  have  the  walking  period,  the  most  of 
us  would  feel  that  we  could  not  afford  to  take  the  time 
from  our  work  in  order  to  walk  for  45  minutes  each  day. 
Therefore,  we  should  be  glad  that  a  time  each  day  is 
provided  for  us  to  take  exercises  out  doors."  Walking 
period  was  not  the  same  as  gym,  and  it  disappeared  as 
a  college  activity  sometime  in  the  twenties. 

In  1925,  a  "costume  committee"  was  appointed  to  rule 
on  the  appropriateness  of  costumes  to  be  worn  at  public 
entertainments.  A  student  who  did  not  ask  beforehand 
could  be  required  to  return  to  her  room  if  the  costume 
was  not  deemed  proper.  There  are  comparatively  few  other 
regulations  concerning  dress  in  the  early  years  in  the 
handbook.  Middies  and  sweaters  could  not  be  worn  in 
the  1920's  to  dinner  or  on  Sundays,  and  there  also  appears 
the  smug  statement,  "we  do  not  wear  bedroom  slippers 
outside  of  the  dormitories"  under  "college  customs."  The 
alumna  who  dated  in  1910  in  the  dormitory  parlor  re- 
members that  when  she  appeared  in  The  Palace  of  Truth 
that  year,  she  was  instructed  in  her  part  of  The  Flirt  to 
lift  her  skirt  a  fraction,  but  under  no  circumstance  to  show 
her  ankle.   There  were  later  regulations   about  wearing 

men's    clothing    on 
campus  ( must  be  cov- 

'^^ /■ ~>^^^  ^'^^^  ^^  ^  '°"^  coat) 

^'-N^^-<^        Iw/    !  ^^^  dressing  for  din- 

■  jA        \  .  vf  > .  ),  ner,    especially    on 

Saturday  nights, 
which  was  a  college 
custom  for  some  vears. 
The  young  ladies  in 
1900  who  attended  a 
banquet  "clothed  in 
those  much -discussed 
dimity  dresses,  and 
headed  by  those  soft  Leghorns  with  the  greatlv-to-be-de- 
sired  droop,"  little  dreamed  that  their  greatgranddanghters 
in  1968  would  be  strolling  around  town  in  ragged  jeans, 
barefoot,  and  with  their  hair  in  curlers.  And  it  is  probably 
a  GOOD  Thing  that  they  did  not.  D

University's  Urgent  Needs 
Defined  for  Legislators 


Crucial  nature  of  next  biennium 

discussed  by  President  Friday 

and  chancellors  at  regional  meetings 


The  Greensboro  campus  was 
host  to  state  legislators  and 
University  trustees  Monday, 
December  16,  for  the  fifth  in  a 
series  of  six  regional  meetings 
initiated  by  University  offi- 
cials. Purpose  of  the  series  was 
to  give  members  of  the  General 
Assembly  an  early  look  at  the 
Board  of  Trustees'  budget  re- 
quest for  1969-71,  along  with 
an  explanation  of  the  crucial 
nature  of  these  needs  during 
the  next  biennium. 

President  William  C.  Friday  opened  the  meeting  with 
a  visual  and  oral  presentation  of  the  total  budget,  noting 
that  "by  1975,  we  anticipate  nearly  32  per  cent  of  all  stu- 
dents attending  college  in  the  state  will  be  enrolled  in  the 
University  of  North  Carolina.  We  can  meet  this  growth 
only  if  our  budget  requests  are  met."  He  introduced 
Chancellors  James  S.  Ferguson  (Greensboro  campus), 
John  T.  Caldwell  (Raleigh),  Dean  W.  Colvard  (Char- 
lotte), and  J.  Carlyle  Sitterson  (Chapel  Hill),  who  in  turn 
highlighted  the  budget  needs  of  their  respective  institu- 
tions. 

Chancellor  Ferguson  traced  the  growth  in  enrollment 
on  the  Greensboro  campus  from  3,575  students  six  years 
ago  to  5,889  this  year  with  a  total  student  body  of  9,054 
projected  for  1975.  Specific  budgetary  needs  he  cited  were 
funds  for  expansion  in  the  School  of  Education,  establish- 
ment of  a  School  of  Economics  and  Business  Administra- 
tion, more  computer  equipment,  expansion  of  counseling 
service  for  students,  acquisition  of  land,  and  purchase  of 
more  library  holdings. 

First  priority  in  the  capital  improvements  budget  is 


a  major  addition  to  the  library  which  can  be  started  in 
July,  Chancellor  Ferguson  said,  "if  we  can  get  funds  ap- 
propriated by  then."  He  also  voiced  a  need  for  a  new  ad- 
ministration building,  noting  that  the  present  building  was 
constructed  in  1892. 

Each  chancellor  stressed  the  need  for  substantial  fac- 
ulty salary  increases.  President  Friday  in  his  opening  re- 
marks said,  "We  are  emphasizing  academic  salary  adjust- 
ments. If  we  don't  maintain  our  high  level  of  instruction, 
we  will  go  downhill  fast." 

Chancellor  Ferguson  told  the  group,  "We  are  putting 
top  emphasis  on  the  need  for  improving  faculty  salary 
scales,  essential  if  we  are  to  meet  the  responsibilities 
ahead." 

Chancellor  Sitterson  pointed  out  the  gravity  of  the 
situation  most  poignantly  when  he  noted,  "For  the  first 
time  in  my  lifetime  the  University  of  North  Carolina  has 
lost  some  faculty  members  to  several  other  southern 
schools.  This  is  something  to  think  about.  Several  years 
ago  I  wouldn't  have  thought  this  was  possible." 

Eighteen  state  legislators  from  eight  counties  and  nine 
members  of  the  University  Board  of  Trustees  attended. 
Legislators  were:  Senators  Harry  Bagnal,  Hargrove 
Bowles,  Elton  Edwards,  Fred  Folger,  Coolidge  Murrow, 
Gertrude  Nielson,  William  Staton;  and  Representatives 
Gilbert  Boger,  Howard  Coble,  Henry  Frye,  W.  S.  Harris, 
Jeter  Haynes,  Hamilton  Horton,  Jr.,  Howard  Jemison,  Jule 
McMichael,  Odell  Payne,  Charles  Phillips,  John  Ridenhour. 
Trustees  attending  included:  Henry  A.  Foscue,  Jake 
Froelich,  Jr.,  Robert  Hall,  Mrs.  Howard  Holdemess,  Bev- 
erly Moore,  Mrs.  L.  Richardson  Preyer,  Henry  Redding, 
B.  C.  Trotter,  and  C.  M.  Vanstory,  Jr. 

On  the  follo^ving  pages  the  University  trustees  budget 
request  for  the  entire  University  is  carried  in  full  detail 
with  a  breakdov^Ti  of  allocations  for  the  four  campuses.

Like  North  Carolinians  everywhere,  I  have  great  pride  in  the  fourfold 
University  of  North  Carolina,  which  ranks  among  the  top  twenty-five 
universities  in  America  today.  With  the  wise  and  prudent  use  of  their 
resources,  the  people  of  North  Carolina,  through  their  Legislature,  have 
nurtured  a  great  State  University. 

This  brief  document  summarizes  the  budget  request  of  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  which  will  be  considered  by  the  1969  General  Assembly. 
At  the  direction  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  each  component  unit  of  the 
University  has  assessed  the  needs  of  the  State  which  it  is  designed  to  serve 
and  our  best  judgment  has  been  applied  to  determining  how  those  needs 
can  be  met  most  effectively  and  economically. 

The  budget  request  is  based  on  the  premise  that  a  budget  is  basically 
a  financial  expression  of  the  educational  programs;  and,  as  such,  represents 
a  unified  statement  of  those  programs.  The  University  has  indicated  that 
support  which  it  can  reasonably  provide  on  its  own,  and  that  part  which 
is  fairly  an  obligation  of  the  State. 

The  requested  resources  will  provide  for  the  University's  rising  enroll- 
ment and  requirements,  based  upon  these  spiraling  enrollment  figures,  for 
programs  of  instruction,  physical  facilities,  library  acquisitions,  and  in- 
structional personnel.  Our  projections  were  carefully  and  painstakingly 
developed  over  the  past  two  years  through  hard  work  and  research  in  a 
comprehensive  long-range  plan  involving  faculty  members  and  administra- 
tive officers  on  the  four  campuses. 

With  the  support  of  the  people  of  the  State  and  the  1969  Legislature, 
the  Board  of  Trustees  and  the  University  Administration  accept  the  respon- 
sibility of  maintaining  and  extending  the  distinction  and  the  service  of  the 
University. 

The  University  strongly  desires  to  continue  its  forward  motion  toward 
greater  achievement.  We  solicit  your  understanding  of  and  support  for 
our  budget  requests  which,  we  believe,  are  reasonable  and  which  hold 
the  key  to  the  University's  future  development  and  to  the  further  progress 
of  the  State  itself. 

We  welcome  your  interest  in  the  facts  set  forth  in  this  document  and 
your  help  in  carrying  out  the  University's  statutory  functions  during  the 
next  biennium. 


William   Friday,   President 

The  University  of  North   Carolina 


THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  NORTH  CAROLINA 
IS  A  CENTER  OF  LEARNING 


36,467 
students  in 
degree  programs 


The  University  has  the  obligation  to  serve  the  people  of 
the  State  as  a  center  of  learning.  It  makes  learning  available 
to  those  who  study  on  its  four  campuses  and  to  all  others 
who  can  benefit  from  its  offerings. 

The  total  enrollment  stands  at  an  all-time  high  of  36,467 
including  T  6,233  at  Chapel  Hill,  2,351  at  Charlotte,  5,889 
at  Greensboro,  and  1 1 ,994  at  Raleigh. 


26,400 
students  in 
summer  school 


Degree  programs  are  available  in  152  major  fields  of 
study.  The  bachelor's  degree  is  awarded  in  109,  the  master's 
degree  in  116,  the  doctoral  in  83,  and  professional  degrees 
in  law,  dentistry,  and  medicine. 

There  are  30  colleges  and  schools  on  the  four  campuses  of 
the  University  including  14  at  Chapel  Hill,  one  at  Charlotte, 
six  at  Greensboro,  and  nine  at  Raleigh. 


There  are  162  departments  of  instruction  including  70  at 
Chapel  Hill,  18  at  Charlotte,  22  at  Greensboro,  and  52  at 
Raleigh. 

Last  summer  in  the  two  terms  there  were  more  than 
26,400  enrolled  for  degree  credit. 


46,000 

extension 

enrollment 


During  the  latest  complete  academic  year,  1967-68,  the 
University  had  over  46,000  enrollments  in  the  numerous 
extension  programs,  including  correspondence  courses,  adult 
education,  business  services,  short  courses,  TV  courses  for 
credit,  and  the  Institute  of  Government.

UNDERGRADUATE  EDUCATION.  The  Univer- 
sity gives  each  student  the  opportunity  to  acquire 
broad  knowledge  and  to  develop  his  aptitude  for 
clear  thinking  and  wise  judgment.  Three-fourths 
of  those  regularly  enrolled  in  the  University  are 
undergraduates.  The  program  of  each  includes  a 
variety  of  studies  in  the  liberal  arts  as  well  as 
closely  related,  basic  courses  in  a  particular  field 
of  learning. 

GRADUATE  AND  PROFESSIONAL  EDUCA- 
TION. Both  general  education  and  professional 
education  are  the  concern  of  the  University.  The 
professions  and  the  liberal  arts  on  which  they  are 
founded  owe  their  existence  to  the  men  and 
women  who  have  mastery  of  them.  The  University 
teaches  accountants,  dentists,  economists,  engi- 
neers, farmers,  housewives,  lawyers,  librarians, 
merchants,  nurses,  pharmacists,  physicians,  social 
workers,  statisticians,  scholars  and  teachers,  and 
many  others  whose  professional  strength  makes 
knowledge  active  and  useful. 

LEARNING  THROUGH  RESEARCH.  The  Uni- 
versity is  a  center  for  the  development  of  knowl- 


>F  THE  UNIVERSITY 


edge.  In  its  laboratories,  basic  theories  are  tested 
and  new  knowledge  is  discovered  that  enriches  the 
lives  of  people  throughout  North  Carolina.  The 
knowledge  created  through  research  makes  pos- 
sible improvement  in  our  health,  development  of 
our  resources,  and  enrichment  of  our  communities. 
Research  also  contributes  new  technology  that  in- 
creases the  productivity  of  our  factories,  farms, 
forests  and  other  businesses.  Investigations  in  poly- 
mer chemistry,  for  example,  open  new  possibili- 
ties in  textile  manufacture,  and  studies  in  molecular 
biology  enable  practical  advances  to  be  made  in 
medical  science. 


Through  the  creation  of  knowledge,  the  trans- 
mission of  this  knowledge  to  those  who  can  use  it 
effectively,  and  the  teaching  of  professional  per- 
sonnel to  meet  the  needs  of  the  State,  the  Uni- 
versity contributes  greatly  to  the  further  develop- 
ment of  North  Carolina.  Some  areas  in  which  the 
University  has  developed  programs  that  are  im- 
portant to  the  people  of  the  State  are  shown  on

need  is  met  by  income  from  tuition  and  fees,  endowment  income,  federal  grants  and  depart- 
mental receipts,  but  the  State  money  appropriated  by  the  General  Assembly  for  the  "A"  Bud- 
get IS  the  determining  factor  in  the  University's  ability  to  maintain  the  quality  of  instruction,  re- 
search and  service  for  increasing  numbers  of  North  Carolinians. 

Major  expenses  to  be  met  include: 

•  Instructional  costs  of  the  University  of  North  Carolina  at  Chapel  Hill,  North  Carolina  State 
University  at  Raleigh,  the  University  of  North  Carolina  at  Greensboro  and  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  at  Charlotte.

Before  "We  Know  It,"  crocuses  will  be 
pushing  their  vivid  blossoms  through  the 
still-wintry-looking  soil,  heralding  the  surety 
that  spring  is  a-coming.  As  things  within 
the  earth  begin  stirring,  so  things  in  the 
Alumni  Office  must  begin  to  stir  in  antici- 
pation of  Commencement  and  class  reun- 
ions. Once  second  semester  builds  up  its 
head-of-steam.  May  30  and  31  and  June  1 
(1969's  reunion  dates)  will  be  here  before 
"we  know  it." 

We'll  be  in  touch  -with  the  members  of 
classes  having  reunions  during  late  winter 
and  spring.  For  some,  reunion  booklets  will 
be  compiled;  for  all,  lists  must  be  up- 
dated and  passed  around.  In  the  meantime, 
though,  we  want  to  itemize  again  the 
classes  for  whom  we'U  be  planning  reun- 
ions: the  Vanguard  (successor  to  the  Old 
Guard),  1919,  1935,  1936,  1937,  1938,  1944, 
1947,  1959,  and  1964. 

As  is  always  the  case,  all  alumni  will 
be  invited  for  Commencement  festivities  — 
whether  they'll  be  having  reunions  or  not. 
And  as  the  earth  and  the  Alumni  Office  be- 
gin to  stir,  you,  too,  begin  stirring:  reserve 
May's  last  weekend  for  a  visit  to  the  Uni- 
versity and  begin  making  your  plans  for 
the  trip. 


By  Spring  (we  hopel)  arrangements  for  two 
items  of  merchandise  will  be  completed. 
For  a  number  of  months  we  have  been 
consulting  about  watercolors  of  four  campus 
scenes  and  about  alumni  chairs,  both  of 
which  have  proven  to  be  very  popular  with 
alumni  of  other  universities  and  colleges. 
As  soon  as  OUR  paintings  and  chairs  are 
available  for  distribution,  we'll  let  you 
know.  Once  our  negotiating  is  completed, 
the  items  will  be  available  continuously. 


Not  a  Day  Passes  in  the  life  of  the  Alumni 
Office  without  our  making  address  changes. 
This  is  the  one  part  of  our  work  which  is 
continuous.  We  are  sure  that  there  will 
never  be  an  end  to  address-changing  be- 
cause alumni  will  always  be  moving.  "There 
is,  though,  one  consideration  which  will  help 
tremendously  —  financially.  If  the  person 
who  moves  will  personally  notify  us  of  the 
new  address,  we  will  save  ten  cents  (lOfi) 
per  change.  When  the  Post  Office  supplies 
the  new-address  information,  each  change 
supplied  costs  us  ten  cents  (10i#).  When 
one  multiplies  the  total  number  of  changes 
by  10^,  the  result  means  disaster  to  our 
postage  budget.

The  University  of  North  Carolina  at  Greensboro 


Professor  George  M.  Thompson 

hy  Dr.  Elizabeth  Cowling 
Professor  of  Music 

The  death  of  Professor  George  M.  Thomp- 
son in  the  early  hours  of  November  10  ended 
what  began  as  a  one-semester  appointment 
for  a  young  instructor  in  organ  and  became 
instead  a  major  part  of  the  career  of  the 
professor  of  music  who  retired  ofHcially  in 
1963,  but  continued  to  teach  until  two 
years  ago.  Meanwhile,  through  music,  he 
probably  touched  the  lives  of  more  students 
than  any  other  member  of  tlie  faculty  —in 
founding  a  College  Choir  that  grew  to  165 
voices  and  conducting  it  for  20  years  in 
programs  of  memorable  musical  and  visual 
impact;  in  playing  for  chapel  and  introduc- 
ing Civic  Music  Association  concerts;  in 
teaching  music  majors  in  organ  and  history 
and  liberal  arts  students  in  his  noted  courses 
in  music  appreciation.  The  capacity  audi- 
ences who  heard  his  Christmas  programs 
in  Aycock  Auditorium,  late  on  the  Saturday 
evening  before  vacation  and  repeated  Sun- 
day afternoon,  could  never  quite  forget  the 
beauty  of  sound  and  setting  in  programs 
he  planned  in  every  detail. 

His  travels  contributed  here,  as  in  all  his 
other  work,  particularly  the  Christmas  music 
he  heard  annually  in  New  York.  Easter  pro- 
grams were  equally  impressive  (in  1954  the 
Vaughan  Williams  Magnificat  was  included, 
featured  this  year  in  the  Christmas  concert 
dedicated  to  his  memory).  Overflow  audi- 
ences attended  his  recitals,  several  in  his- 
torical series  on  Sundays  in  early  spring, 
and  he  contributed  to  the  community  as 
organist  at  the  First  Baptist  and  First  Pres- 
byterian Churches,  board  member  of  the 
Civic  Music  Association,  director  of  several 
groups  for  the  Euterpe  Club,  soloist  at  the 
dedication  of  several  organs,  first  president 
of  the  Greensboro  Chamber  Music  Society, 
and  dean  of  the  Piedmont  Chapter,  Amer- 
ican Guild  of  Organists.  He  helped  bring  to 
Greensboro  organists  Bke  Andre  Marechal, 
Marilyn  Mason,  Joseph  Bonnet  and  Heinz 
^yunderlich.  Frequently  an  officer  of  Pi 
Kappa  Lambda,  music  honorary  society,  he 
was  listed  in  WJio's  Who  in  America  from 
1952  until  retirement  (a  fact  he  never  both- 
ered to  mention  to  his  friends). 

Despite  being  stranded  for  some  weeks 
during  his  first  European  visit  in  1914,  he 
returned  26  times  to  Europe,  studying  for 
13  summers  with  Joseph  Bonnet,  organist 
at  the  church  of  St.  Eustache  in  Paris.  His 
interest  in  historical  instruments  and  musi- 
cal festivals  took  him  from  Scandinavia  to 
Yugoslavia.  He  returned  often  to  perform- 


ances in  Bayreuth,  Amsterdam,  Salzburg, 
and  Munich  and  played  famous  old  organs 
from  Hamburg  to  Santiago  de  Compostella 
(Spain).  Yet  this  teacher,  whose  last  course 
was  his  favorite,  Wagner,  was  also  a  recep- 
tive hstener  enthusiastic  over  Benjamin  Brit- 
ten's Curlew  River.  He  filled  his  life  with 
music,  friendship,  and  travel,  never  burden- 
ing his  friends  with  whatever  troubles  he 
may  have  had;  wherever  he  went,  he  was 
at  home  in  the  world. 

As  his  only  surviving  relative  remarked, 
his  whole  life  was  bound  up  with  the  col- 
lege, and  he  managed  to  unify  the  familiar 
and  the  remote,  sharing  his  travels  gener- 
ously through  cards  and  letters  to  friends 
and  former  students  and  eagerly  awaiting 
news  from  home.  His  concern  for  the  entire 
college  was  evident  in  his  active  partici- 
pation at  faculty  meetings  and  vigorous  con- 
tributions on  various  important  committees 
(curriculum,  advisory,  chapel,  concert.  Arts 
Forum,  academic  policies).  In  his  teaching 
he  took  infinite  care,  rejecting  slipshod 
work,  as  dozens  of  organists  in  responsible 
posts  throughout  the  region  can  testify. 
Hundreds  of  students  look  back  on  his  les- 
sons, classes,  and  choir  rehearsals  with 
gratitude  and  pleasure. 

Whether  in  Salzburg  or  in  Santa  Fe,  Mr. 
Thompson  had  a  rare  capacit>'  for  making 
friends.  Each  of  his  many  friends  felt  some 
special  relationship  with  him,  and  all  found 
him  unfailingly  courteous,  cheerful,  and  di- 
rect. He  was  known  as  one  of  the  most  hos- 
pitable of  men,  and  each  New  Year's  Day 
he  welcomed  old  and  new  friends  gener- 
ously and  joyously.  It  is  altogether  typical 
that  the  evening  before  his  cleath  he  had 
given  a  birthday  party  for  a  retired  col- 
league. 

Once  when  he  was  asked  whether  he 
might  not  retire  to  Switzerland,  he  re- 
sponded indignantly,  "What  —  and  leave  all 
my  friends  in  Greensboro?"  For  George 
Thompson,  Greensboro  was  profession,  stJu- 
dents,  home.  Few  people  can  have  contrib- 
uted more  to  our  institution,  and  it  is  here 
that  he  will  be  remembered  most  vividly 
and  missed  most  acutely. 


Glenn  Raymond  Johnson 

by  Dr.  Lyda  Gordon  Shivers 
Professor  of  Sociology  and  Anthropology 

The  death  of  a  quiet  and  thoughtful  man, 
which  occurred  on  September  2,  1968,  in 
Portland,  Oregon,  touched  not  only  his  be- 


loved wife  and  children  but  many  who  have 
studied  at  this  institution.  Glenn  Raymond 
Johnson  was  one  of  the  older  generation  of 
sociologists,  a  graduate  student  at  Columbia 
University  during  the  heyday  of  F.  H.  Gid- 
dings  and  Franz  Boas.  William  F.  Ogborn 
had  introduced  him  to  sociology  and  a  last- 
ing friendship  e.\isted  between  this  first 
teacher  and  his  first  major. 

Mr.  Johnson  was  bom  October  24,  1888, 
in  Silverton,  Oregon,  where  his  family  were 
pioneer  settlers.  His  boyhood  provided  him 
with  an  abiding  appreciation  for  the  beau- 
ties of  nature  and  the  grandeur  of  the  west- 
ern mountains.  He  received  an  A.B.  in  1915 
from  Reed  College  and  a  M.A.  from  Colum- 
bia University  in  1916.  His  further  graduate 
study  was  interrupted  during  1917-1919  by 
service  in  the  United  States  Army  as  a 
second  lieutenant  in  the  infantry.  In  1920 
he  joined  the  faculty  of  Bowdoin  College. 

Professor  Johnson  began  his  long  associ- 
ation with  the  University  of  North  Carolina 
at  Greensboro  (then  North  Carolina  College 
for  Women)  in  1923  as  professor  of  soci- 
ology and  head  of  that  department.  Under 
his  leadership  the  department  grew,  keep- 
ing pace  with  the  development  of  the  col- 
lege. He  retired  in  1954  after  31  years  of 
successful  teaching  and  administration. 

As  a  teacher.  Professor  Johnson  was  at 
his  academic  best  when  talking  informally 
to  groups  of  students.  His  interest  and  con- 
cern for  them  extended  beyond  the  class- 
room. He  was  encouraging,  supportive  and 
very  successful  in  helping  them  obtain  fel- 
lowships for  graduate  study.  His  home  was 
a  center  of  activity  for  students  as  well  as 
colleagues.  The  cordial  hospitality  of  the 
Johnsons  gave  numerous  sociology  majors 
further  reason  to  appreciate  the  gentle  wit, 
scholarly  interests  and  breadth  of  learning 
of  their  major  adviser.  Professor  Johnson 
was  remarkably  well  read,  and  undergrad- 
uates recognizing  this  were  themselves  in- 
spired by  it. 

Equally  generous  with  time  and  encour- 
agement when  a  colleague  asked  advice. 
Professor  Johnson  was  always  open-minded, 
never  arbitrary,  and  always  willing  to  allow 
them  freedom  to  experiment  and  to  pursue 
their  intellectual  interests.  His  primary  con- 
cern was  for  their  promotion  and  the  rec- 
ognition of  the  merits  of  their  achievements. 
They  knew  that  he  was  a  man  of  high 
standards  for  himself  and  realistic  ones  for 
them,  a  man  of  erudition  and  integrity. 

Active  in  his  appropriate  professional  or- 
ganizations, Mr.  Johnson  was  a  Fellow  of 
the  American  Sociological  Association,  an 
active  and  pioneer  member  of  the  Southern 
Sociological  Society,  and  for  many  years  a 
contributing  editor  for  Social  Forces. 

His  selfless  concern  for  other  human  be- 
ings found  expression  through  participation 
in  a  variety  of  state  and  local  organizations. 
Throughout  his  career  he  was  interested  in 
the  area  of  race  relations;  he  was  active  in 
the  North  Carolina  Inter-racial  Commission 
as  well  as  local  community  groups.  He  was 
also  active  in  such  organizations  as  tlie 
Greensboro  Council  of  Social  Agencies  and 
the  Family  Service  Agency. 

The  Johnson  family  shared  an  active  and 
culturally  rich  life  which  was  the  source 
of  values  and  interests  now  reflected  in  tlie 
lives  of  their  children  and  grandchildren.

Israel 


Summer 


on 


a 


Dig 


A  professor  and  three  students  participated 
in  archeological  digs  last  summer.  They 
share  their  experiences  on  these  pages. 


Dk.  Lenoir  C.  Wright 
Professor  of  History  and  Political  Science 


Y|[  Eix  Lachish,  an  ancient  site  mentioned  many  times 
^bi/in  the  Bible,  is  located  in  Israel's  northern  Negev, 
southwest  of  Jerusalem.  At  least  seven  layers  of  civilization 
lie  buried  in  this  enormous  mound  (or  tell).  Many  times 
Lachish  was  sacked  and  burned  but  always  rebuilt.  The 
continued  importance  of  Lachish  is  shown  by  its  geograph- 
ical position.  It  was  strategically  located  between  the  plains 
of  Philistia  and  the  mountains  of  Judah,  also  crucial  for 
Egypt  and  her  two  northern  rivals,  Syria  and  Babylonia. 

The  opportunity  to  "dig"  at  Lachish  this  past  summer 
permitted  me  to  fulfill  a  long  ambition.  I  had  visited  many 
archaeological  sites  in  Iraq  and  had  heard  many  famous 
archaeologists  lecture  about  their  work,  but  I  had  never 
participated  in  a  "dig."  The  modem  scientifically  oriented 
expedition  has  as  its  objective  the  resurrection  of  entire 
past  civilizations.  This  requires  painstaking  care  and  in- 
volves photographing,  measuring  and  controlling  the  dif- 
ferent strata  or  levels  of  the  "dig."  It  was  this  process  that 
particularly  interested  me.  Of  course,  there  was  an  added 
attraction:  the  Expedition  would  provide  an  opportunity 
to  see  "the  Holy  Land"  and  the  modem  state  of  Israel. 

Our  Expedition  had  sixty  members,  about  half  from 
North  Carolina,  mostly  University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Chapel  Hill  student  volunteers.  Our  co-directors  were  Dr. 
Bernard  Boyd  of  Chapel  Hill  and  Dr.  Yohanan  Aharoni  of 
Tel  Aviv  University.  If  any  members  of  the  group  believed 
that  it  was  going  to  be  a  "picnic,"  they  were  soon  disabused 
of  the  idea.  We  worked  an  eight-hour  day,  six  days  a  week. 
Because  of  the  intense  heat,  the  day  started  at  4:30  a.m. 
Work  at  the  "dig"  commenced  at  5  and  at  8:30  we  had 
breakfast  on  the  Tell  generally  consisting  of  tomatoes, 
cucumbers  and  cheese  sandwiches.  We  dug  until  10:30 
when  we  returned  to  our  base  camp  at  the  nearby  Kibbutz 
Beit  Guvrin  where  we  washed  pottery  and  rested  until 
lunch  at  1:30  p.m.  By  2:30  we  were  back  at  the  Tell.  Work 
continued  until  6.  After  dinner  at  the  Kibbutz  most  of  us 
( especially  those  "over  30" )  were  in  bed  by  9,  dead  tired. 

It  was  hard  work  but  most  rewarding.  Tons  of  dirt  and 
rocks  had  to  be  moved.  At  the  same  time  great  care  had  to 
be  taken  not  to  destroy  or  dislodge  vases  and  other  objects. 
An  object  has  no  archaeological  value  unless  it  can  be 
photographed,  measured  and  recorded  in  situ. 

We  excavated  six  strata  or  layers,  moving  down  from 
the  Hellenistic  level  (220  A.D. )  to  the  late  Bronze  Age 
( 10th  century  B.C. ) .  Our  finds  included  great  quantities 
of  sherds  (broken  pottery)  and  many  jugs,  vases  and  the 
like.  The  most  significant  discovery  was  an  Israelite  sanc- 
tuary or  High  Place  of  the  time  of  David  or  Solomon  ( 10th 
century  B.C.).  This  was  not  a  temple,  as  our  directors  had 
hoped  to  find,  but  rather  a  rectangular  room  in  which  were 
found  a  horned  altar,  chalices,  lamps  and  other  cult  vessels. 
Tliis  latter  find  will  contribute  significantly  to  the  under- 
standing of  religious  life  in  Ancient  Israel.

The  Unr'ersity  of  North  Carolina  at  Greensboro 


Winchester 


Catharine  Brewer  70 


/|^N  July  2,  flopped  on  my  stomach,  dangling  into  a 
\jy  three-foot  deep  grave  of  ninth  century  Saxon  origin, 
I  finally  realized  I  was  in  England.  With  about  150  other 
students,  professors  and  miscellaneous  persons  from  Great 
Britain,  the  United  States,  France  and  Denmark,  I  was  a 
digger  at  the  Winchester  Excavations  in  England. 

Partially  sponsored  by  a  financial  grant  from  the  Uni- 
versity at  Chapel  Hill  and  Duke,  the  four  archeological 
sites  at  Winchester  are  commanded  by  Martin  Biddle,  a 
fellow  of  All  Souls  College,  Oxford.  One  of  them  is  Castle 
Yard,  a  castle  begun  in  1067  by  William  the  Conqueror, 
where  the  most  exciting  find  (to  me),  was  the  discovery 
of  the  sallyport,  secret  underground  passages  leading  out- 
side the  castle  walls.  Another,  and  the  most  beautiful  site, 
is  Wolvesley  Palace.  Situated  in  the  present  Bishop's  rose 
garden,  Wolvesley  is  a  gorgeous  mass  of  Romanesque  tow- 
ers, columns,  and  crumbling  walls  overgrown  with  rose 
and  honeysuckle.  The  workers  here,  however,  had  to  put 
up  with  the  Bishop's  semi-vicious  dogs  and  a  massive,  reek- 
ing pile  of  manure. 

Marion  Putnam,  a  sophomore  from  Shelby,  by  travelling 
companion  and  roommate,  dug  at  a  third  site,  called  Brook 
Street,  which  is  the  most  complete  excavation  project  in 
existence  of  a  medieval  urban  development.  The  buildings 
here  once  housed  laborers  in  the  tanning,  weaving  and 
fulling  trades,  as  articles  found  during  the  excavation  in- 
dicate. There  are  also  two  churches  at  this  site,  St.  Mary's 
and  St.  Pancras.  Tlie  sophisticated  water  system  of  the 
medieval  neighborhood  was  most  intriquing.  A  brook  run- 
ning down  the  middle  of  the  street  gave  the  street  its 
name.  Small  ditches  lined  with  timbers,  some  of  which  have 
been  excavated  in  good  condition,  led  from  the  brook 
under  the  walls  bringing  fresh  running  water  into  the 
houses.  The  closely-packed  houses  crowded  with  people 
and  the  poor  sanitary  conditions  of  the  time  undoubtedly 
was  the  cause  of  the  plague  which  spread  over  Europe 
and  England  in  the  thirteenth  century. 

Margaret  Sykes,  a  senior  from  Morrisville,  and  I  were 
assigned  to  Cathedral  Green,  presided  over  by  Birthe 
Biddle,  the  Danish  wife  of  Martin  Biddle.  Less  than  30, 
she  looks  about  fifteen  and  had  just  submitted  her  doctoral 
dissertation  to  a  Danish  university  (her  subject-Cathedral 
Green).  Birthe  smoked  a  pipe,  pinned  her  blonde  bob  of 
hair  back  with  gaily  colored  clothespins,  and  painted  her 
toenails  purple. 

Basically,  the  excavations  at  Cathedral  Green  are  un- 
earthing the  foundations  of  the  Saxon  Old  Minster,  be- 
lieved to  be  the  largest  Saxon  church  ever  built.  The  Old 
Minster  dates  from  the  seventh  century  with  ninth  and 
tenth  century  additions.  A  great  deal  of  work  was  done  on 
the  tomb  of  St.  Swithin,  the  patron  saint  of  Winchester, 
tutor  to  Alfred  the  Great's  older  brothers,  and  a  friend  of 
Alfred's.  When  Swithin  became  bishop  of  Winchester  in 
852,  he  constructed  the  first  bridge  and  walls  of  defense 


for  the  royal  Saxon  city.  He  died  in  862  and,  because  of  his 
humility,  desired  to  be  buried  outside  of  the  church  where 
"the  feet  of  the  humble  would  trod  on  him  and  the  rain 
would  fall  on  him." 

Legend  says  that  when  his  body  was  transferred  to  a 
place  of  honor  within  the  church  in  971,  Swithin  in  heaven 
was  so  angered  that  he  caused  it  to  rain  for  40  days  follow- 
ing the  ceremony;  ever  since,  if  it  rains  on  St.  Swithin's 
Day  (July  15),  it  will  rain  for  40  days  thereafter.  And  I 
believe  it.  This  year  it  poured  on  St.  Swithin's  Day  and, 
accordingly,  40  days  thereafter.  Cheerfully  we  diggers 
continued  working  in  the  rain,  mud  and  cold,  from  8:30 
a.m.  to  6  p.m.,  Monday  through  Saturday,  with  short  tea 
breaks  in  the  morning  and  afternoon  and  an  hour  off  for 
lunch.  Breakfast  and  supper  were  provided  by  the  dig,  but 
lunch  was  bought  with  a  modest  lunch  allowance'  (48 
cents),  the  only  pay  we  received. 

Digging  was  set  up  on  the  "trench"  system.  An  area 
about  half  the  size  of  a  football  field  was  divided  into  five 
rectangular  sections  called  trenches.  A  supervisor  con- 
ducted the  operations  of  each  trench.  Diggers  supplied 
their  own  four-inch  trowels  and  set  to  work  with  less  knowl- 
edge than  enthusiasm.  Margaret  worked  in  an  area  with  a 
fourth  century  Roman  floor  tiled  with  14,000  inch-and-a- 
half  square  brick  tiles  which  she  and  her  trenchmates 
scrubbed  with  toothbrushes  (her  knees  are  still  sore). 

The  trench  where  I  worked  was  overflowing  with 
graves.  From  an  area  approximately  20  by  30  feet,  we  ex- 
cavated over  20O  ninth  century  Saxon  burials.  We  named 
all  of  the  inhabitants  of  tlie  graves  with  the  care  of  fondest 
parents  (our  favorite  was  "Dead  Ernest").  When  the 
queasiness  about  working  with  skeletons  is  overcome,  the 
work  becames  fascinating.  Sex,  age,  diseases  of  the  de- 
ceased and  even  hints  at  his  former  occupation  can  be 
sleuthed  from  a  skeleton. 

The  work  was  rough,  and  we  were  glad  for  a  shower 
or  bath  at  the  end  of  the  day.  Living  conditions  varied. 
Upon  walking  into  headquarters  at  7A  St.  Thomas  Street, 
a  former  chocolate  factory,  Marion  and  I  were  horrified  at 
the  concentration  camp  quality  of  our  future  sleeping 
quarters.  Many  diggers  do  live  there,  but  to  our  great  re- 
lief we  were  housed  in  a  private  home  in  Winchester.  This 
meant  private  rooms,  hot  baths,  friendship  with  our  hos- 
tess and  the  young  family  living  with  her,  but  we  missed 
the  camaraderie  of  living  with  the  rest  of  the  dig.  After 
a  month  of  luxury,  Marion  and  I  moved  to  Carfax  Hotel, 
a  centuries  old  hostel,  used  by  a  training  college  during  the 
school  term  and  by  the  dig  during  the  summer.  Carfax 
meant  four  baths  for  60  girls,  eternal  cold  water,  one 
spastic  washing  machine,  one  un-housetrained  cat  and  lots 
of  fun. 

Do  I  want  to  go  back?  No,  not  to  dig.  I  loved  it,  but 
once  is  enough.  What  I  remember  and  cherish  about  my 
summer  in  Winchester  are  the  people,  the  friends  I  made, 
and  the  experiences  we  shared.  To  see  them  and  to  see 
England  again,  I  must  go  back.  One  night  after  work  and 
supper,  a  bunch  of  us  climbed  to  the  top  of  the  bell  tower 
to  listen  to  the  bell-ringers  practicing  their  changes.  When 
they  finished,  I  asked  the  master  if  I  could  try  my  hand. 
Then,  for  all  of  Winchester  to  hear,  I  rang  the  big  bell  of 
Winchester  Cathedral!  For  me,  it  was  like  throwing  a 
penny  in  the  Trevi  fountain:  I  know  I'll  return  for  I've 
rung  the  bell  of  Winchester  Cathedral.  D

FOCUS  ON 


Katy  Gilmore,  junior  from 
Southern  Pines,  has  inherited  a 
capacity  for  involvement  in  many 
areas  from  her  father,  Voit  Gilmore, 
well  known  for  his  service  on  a  na- 
tional and  state  level.  As  executive 
secretary  of  the  Student  Govern- 
ment Association  this  year,  Katy  ini- 
tiated a  campus  visit  by  Greensboro 

businessmen  and  their  wives  in  an  effort  to  bring  the  University 

and  the  community  closer  together. 

Four  years  at  the  University  at  Greensboro  should  not 
be  isolated  from  real  life  with  experiences  unrelated  to  any- 
thing before  or  after.  It  must  be  a  realistic  workshop  for 
the  future.  Last  summer  I  helped  formulate  a  new  fresh- 
man orientation  program  which  takes  into  consideration 
the  changes  that  have  been  made  at  the  University  in  rec- 
ent years.  For  example,  the  Sister  Class  tradition  has  been 
eliminated  in  recognition  of  the  rising  male  enrollment. 
Under  our  new  system,  orientation  capitalizes  on  the 
freshman  interest  in  involvement  on  many  levels.  This 
philosophy  of  "exposure"  has  permeated  the  whole  realm 
of  student  government.  Through  participation  in  Town 
Council  and  other  organizational  meetings,  by  inviting 
merchants  and  other  interested  citizens  to  spend  a  day  on 
our  campus,  by  uniting  the  five  Greensboro  institutions 
into  an  Intercollegiate  Council  ...  all  of  these  activities 
exemplify  a  focus  on  the  community  as  a  realistic  work- 
shop for  the  future. 


Sherri  Wood,  senior  from  Paris, 
France,  spent  her  freshman  year  at 
the  University,  then  accompanied 
her  family  to  Paris  when  her  father 
was  appointed  European  Represen- 
tative for  NASA.  Since  she  could  not 
enter  a  French  University  until  her 
junior  year,  she  took  sophomore 
studies  at  the  American  CoUege  in 
Paris,  then  enrolled  as  a  student  of  sociology  at  the  Sorbonne  and 
moved  into  an  apartment  in  the  Latin  Quarter  with  three  other  girls. 

I  was  the  only  American  in  premiere  annee  du  premier 
cycle  de  sociologies  ( first  year  of  sociology ) .  Since  none  of 
my  friends  spoke  English,  I  was  completely  submerged  in 
a  foreign  culture  and  language.  Our  apartment  was  always 
full  of  students  of  different  nationalities  with  interests 
ranging  from  poetry  and  painting  to  politics  and  student 
agitation.  I  learned  more  from  my  friends  than  from  my 
courses,  and  during  the  "revolution"  last  May  and  June, 
I  learned  more  sociology  than  in  a  year  I  spent  studying  it 
in  classrooms.  I  spent  last  summer  working  with  French 
University  reforms  until  the  end  of  the  July  when  the  police 
occupied  the  last  of  the  buildings  in  which  we  were 
working. 

I  wanted  to  continue  my  education  in  France,  but  my 
parents  and  I  agreed  that  it  would  be  better  to  get  my 
American  degree  before  settling  in  Europe.  As  soon  as  I 
graduate  in  June,  I'm  going  back  —  probably  to  Madrid  to 
share  an  apartment  with  a  Swedish  girl.  Right  now  it 
looks  as  though  I  will  be  traveling  on  a  Portuguese  cork 
freighter,  and  once  I  get  there,  I'll  take  any  job  I  can  find  in 
order  to  stay.

For  me,  the  University  has  been  the  beginning  of  an 
exploration.  Involvement  and  interaction  with  others  have 
shown  me  the  limitations  of  my  way  of  looking  at  the 
world.  The  goal  that  I've  taken  back  into  my  University 
work  is  that  of  openness  to  other  beliefs,  especially  those 
different  from  my  own.  Sharing  of  yourself  and  accepting 
what  others  have  to  share  seems  an  important  part  of  edu- 
cation.

Her  major  is  Spanish  and  interna-

participated  in  the  UNC-G  Institute 

in  Middle   America  in  El   Salvador.   She  is   the  daughter  of   Sue 

Murchison  Hayworth  '42. 

Traveling  is  an  educational  experience  of  a  different 
nature  from  formal  classroom  studying.  For  me,  the  bene- 
fit lies  in  the  opportunity  to  see  the  differences  and  similari- 
ties between  the  culture  of  my  country  and  that  of  a 
foreign  land.  More  than  anything  else,  this  helps  me  to 
understand  the  world  that  is  rapidly  coming  closer  to 
our  doorstep.  Such  understanding  seems  to  me  to  be  the 
seed  from  which  understanding  can  grow  between  nations.

The  UNivERsmr  of  North  Carolina  at  Greensboro 


Linda  Margaret  Hunt,  a  senior 
from  Denton,  is  active  in  Student 
Government  Association,  the  stu- 
dent legislature  and  many  other 
campus  organizations.  She  is  presi- 
dent of  the  Golden  Chain  and  chair- 
man of  the  Student  Development 
Council  and  last  year  headed  the 
Student  75th  Anniversary  Gift 
Committee  which  presented  the  Aimiversary  Plaza. 

What  has  my  involvement  in  campus  Hfe  meant  to  me? 
It  has  meant  the  difference  between  four  years  of  note-tak- 
ing and  a  university  education!  It  has  provided  the  oppor- 
tunity to  meet  and  work  with  both  faculty  and  students;  to 
come  to  know  them  not  as  the  professor  who  lectures  or  the 
boy  who  sits  beside  me  in  English  class,  but  as  members  of 
the  university  community,  each  working  in  his  own  way  to 
make  the  term  education  more  relevant  to  us  all. 


I  spent  this  past  summer  in  Berkeley,  California,  as  one 
of  20  college  newspaper  editors  who  participated  in  the 
Higher  Education  Seminar  of  the  United  States  Student 
Press  Association.  Being  thrown  into  a  living  community 
with  20  people  I  had  never  seen  before  in  the  midst  of  a 
very  exciting  educational  environment  proved  that  a  lot 
of  my  suspicions  about  society  were  true.  Hopefully,  that 
experience  has  allowed  me  to  return  to  campus  with  some 
fresh  ideas.  As  Editor  of  Corradi,  I  have  tried  to  combine 
some  of  these  ideas  with  an  academic  interest  .  .  .  that  of 
the  relationship  of  an  artist  to  a  sometimes  hostile  and 
misunderstand  society.  How  does  one  make  a  literary 
magazine,  one  of  nationwide  merit,  relevant  to  a  student 
body?  What  is  creativity  in  a  mechanical  society? 

So,  it  is  difficult  for  me  to  speak  of  extra-curricular 
activities  as  a  means  of  widening  one's  college  experience 
when  I  don't  believe  that  this  justifies  their  existence.  It 
doesn't  work  .  .  .  except  for  a  few.  Ideally  it  should,  but 
the  percentage  of  students  on  any  college  campus  pro- 
ductively involved  in  these  activities,  whatever  they  may 
be,  is  small.  And  I  can't  conclude  that  what  works  for  the 
few  should  work  for  the  masses. 


Marie  Nahikian,  a  senior  from 
AsheviUe,  writes  a  column  in  the 
Carolinian"  entitled  "Graffiti,"  a 
I  collection  of  observations,  reverent 
and  irreverent,  about  campus  life. 
She  has  worked  in  a  variety  of  jobs 
(cook  in  a  boys'  camp  one  summer) 
I  and  dropped  out  of  coUege  one  year 
to  earn  enough  money  for  Euro- 
pean travel  in  the  summer  of  1966.  Her  most  satisfying  experience 
she  says  has  been  her  work  for  the  past  three  years  with  the  United 
Fund's  Christmas  Clearing  Bureau  which  helps  needy  families  in 
Greensboro. 

The  American  University  concept  does  not  work. 
Spending  four  years  in  an  academic  environment,  where 
everyone  (with  all  due  respect)  is  expected  to  play  the 
"scholar"  role  is  absurd.  A  college  education  is  to  prepare 
one  to  cope  with  life  in  society,  but  what  happens?  A  stu- 
dent arrives  fresh  from  the  womb  of  high  school  and  is 
thrown  into  an  unrealistic  living  situation,  and  environment 
that  has  litde  relation  to  the  world  in  which  it  exists  (what 
does  city  government  have  to  do  with  a  college  student? ) , 
and  four  years  later  out  toddles  an  American  citizen,  ready 
to  be  a  productive  member  of  society. 

Where  does  the  University  offer  a  student  the  opportun- 
ity to  make  a  tangible  contact  with  society?  Ideally,  it  is 
through  extracurricular  activities.  For  a  few  it  works.  It  has 
worked  for  me  in  some  ways.  Working  last  year  as  feature 
editor  of  the  Carolinian  and  this  year  as  associate  editor 
has  given  me  contacts  and  experiences  that  perhaps  have 
made  me  a  little  more  aware  of  what  society  really  is. 


Jack  Pinnix,  a  senior  from  Reids- 
ville,    took    part   in    UNC-G's    first 
Institute    in    Middle    America    last 
summer   and   was   in   El    Salvador 
I  when  President  Johnson  arrived  for 
I  the  Central  American  Summit 
Conference.  Co-chairman  for  Young 
Citizens  for  Preyer  on  nine  college 
campuses  in  the  district,  he  is  serv- 
ing his  second  year  as  chairman  of  the  UNC-G  delegation  to  State 
Student  Legislature  in  Raleigh. 

When  President  Johnson  met  with  the  presidents  of 
the  five  Central  American  Republics  in  early  July, 
he  was  warmly  received  by  both  the  heads  of  state  and 
the  man  in  the  street.  But  his  appearance  set  off  a  wave  of 
anti-American  demonstrations  among  San  Salvador's  uni- 
versity students. 

Behind  their  slogans,  which  accused  Johnson  of  being 
the  "intellectual  author"  of  the  assassinations  of  Martin 
Luther  King  and  Robert  Kennedy,  and  which  condemned 
the  U.S.  presence  in  Vietnam,  is  the  frustration  caused  by 
two  factors:  the  oppression  the  students  feel  from  their 
own  military-dominated  government;  and  the  staggering 
national  level  of  poverty  which  they  believe  is  caused  by 
their  economic  dependence  on  the  United  States. 

In  the  wake  of  the  Johnson  visit,  I  sought  out  leaders 
of  the  various  student  movements  in  an  attempt  to  un- 
derstand their  frustrations  and  goals.  Although  they  dif- 
fered widely  in  their  approach  to  the  problems  facing 
their  country,  they  all  perceived  that  the  basis  of  the 
problems  was  the  unequal  distribution  of  wealth,  and  they

all  had  solutions  far  to  the  left  of  the  programs  of  the 
present  government. 

A  Peking-oriented  student,  Carlos  Molina,  went  to 
great  lengths  to  describe  the  sometimes  successful  at- 
tempts to  organize  a  unified  leftist  program.  And  a  student 
leader  of  the  Christian  Democrats  (PDC)  told  me  it 
would  be  a  violation  of  the  principles  of  democracy  to 
suppress  Communist-dominated  parties.  But  he  made  it 
clear  that  he  believes  the  reforms  induced  by  Christian 
Democracy  would  cut  the  ground  out  from  under  the 
Communists  and  thus  make  the  issue  of  their  free  existence 
largely  academic. 

In  short,  the  forces  for  reform  in  Salvador  are  engaged 
in  a  life-or-death  struggle  for  idealogical  supremacy  with- 
in the  academic  community,  but  the  practical  necessities 
of  political  survival  can  sometimes  create  a  united  front 
against  the  government. 

The  struggle  for  some  men's  minds  has  apparently  al- 
ready been  won.  Although  Carlos  Molina  graciously  ac- 
knowledges the  accomplishments  of  all  reform  groups, 
his  jargon  is  straight  from  Marxist  literature.  He  explains 
that  the  demonstrations  against  Johnson  were  staged  be- 
cause the  President  personifies  the  interests  of  such  Amer- 
ican corporations  as  General  Motors  and  Standard  Oil.  To 
him,  Vietnam  is  a  case  of  a  small  underdeveloped  country 
defeating  the  United  States.  The  war  "shows  the  possibility 
for  a  small  people  to  win  their  liberty." 

Molina's  fight  against  his  own  government  has  more  than 
an  academic  basis.  He  tells  of  police  terrorism,  threats, 
and  murders  committed  with  the  complicity  of  the  head 
of  the  National  Guard.  He  remembers  that  three  days 
before  the  election  of  the  present  government,  the  National 
Guard  went  through  the  countryside  threatening  a  blood- 
bath if  the  opposition  candidate  was  elected.  After  the 
election  the  party  Molina  supported,  the  PAR,  was  de- 
clared illegal. 

But  Molina  is  pleased  and  encouraged  by  some  recent 
developments.  In  1966,  a  successful  steel  strike  marked 
the  first  time  in  Salvador's  history  that  "workers  had  gained 
something  by  the  strike."  In  1968,  strikes  were  called  by 
bakers,  bus  drivers,  and  teachers.  The  strike  by  the  teach- 
er's union,  ANDES  (Associacion  Nacional  de  Educacion 
Salvadorena)  was  particularly  gratifying  to  Molina. 
"Teachers  had  been  government  followers  instead  of  push- 
ers of  social  justice.  Before  the  strike  teachers  had  im- 
portance only  at  election  time,"  he  said. 

The  principle  of  educators  leading  social  reform  was 
brought  home  by  another  student,  Alfredo  Monge  Men- 
jivar.  Monge  Menjivar  is  not  a  member  of  any  political 
action  group,  but  believes  it  is  his  responsibility  as  a  stu- 
dent to  support  the  goals  of  AGEUS,  the  student  organ- 
izations of  the  University,  'The  Government  is  against  the 
University  because  the  University  always  upholds  progress, 
change,  reform,  the  things  the  government  doesn't  like.  .  .  . 
The  University  is  the  only  place  where  you  can  breathe 
freely,  say  things  without  inhibition,  a  place  you  can  ex- 
press all  of  your  feelings,"  Mone  Menjivar  said. 

He  speaks  of  the  schism  between  the  University  and 
the  government  in  terms  of  class  identification.  "The  gov- 
ernment thinks  in  terms  of  the  upper  class;  the  University 
in  terms  of  the  lower.  Students  consider  themselves  in  a 
class  apart  and  identify  themselves  with  the  fight  for  the 
people.  .  .  .  The  University  students  offer  solutions  to  the 
problems  of  the  peasants  and  the  factory  laborers." 


When  I  first  met  Monge  Menjivar,  I  questioned  him 
concerning  his  participation  in  a  student  demonstration 
which  had  occurred  the  same  morning.  He  explained  that 
the  demonstration  was  to  protest  the  government's  holding 
up,  for  two  months,  of  the  University  budget.  "The  Uni- 
versity is  falling  behind  because  of  the  withholding  of 
funds.  If  they  don't  get  the  money  it  will  mean  the  Uni- 
versity will  have  to  curtail  activities.  It  is  the  govern- 
ment's policy  to  attempt  to  block  University  funds  year 
after  year  in  an  effort  to  break  the  autonomy  of  the  Uni- 
versity," he  said,  adding  that  University  autonomy,  mean- 
ing faculty-student  power  (usually  student-dominated), 
insures  the  academic  freedom  of  the  University. 

Monge  Menjivar  also  spoke  of  American  aid,  particularly 
the  Alliance  for  Progress.  He  quoted  Che  Guevara  as  say- 
ing the  "Alliance  is  a  millionaire  with  20  beggars."  Monge 
Menjivar  added  that  he  believed  the  policies  of  the  Alliance 
have  made  Latin  countries  more  subordinate  to  the  United 
States,  compromising  them  and  placing  them  in  great  debt. 

"Alliance  money  has  been  invested  in  things  that  will 
not  lead  to  progress.  Nothing  to  create  jobs,  nothing  to 
create  work.  The  country  is  still  subordinate  to  the  United 
States  because  it  cannot  improve.  If  the  United  States  had 
been  interested  in  real  development  during  the  last  six 
years  it  could  have  helped.  Instead,  it  has  concentrated 
on  building  classrooms,  homes,  and  latrines.  Today  there 
is  more  unemployment  than  ever."  He  said  he  doesn't  want 
American  charity  but  wants  the  U.S.  to  pay  a  just  price 
for  the  products.  When  asked  if  what  he  was  suggesting 
was  greater  U.S.  investment,  he  replied  "no,"  and  then 
stated  that  what  he  really  wanted  was  complete  U.S. 
political,  economic,  and  cultural  withdrawal. 

Such  goals,  of  course,  are  naive.  Nevertheless,  they  ac- 
curately reflect  the  feelings  and  frustrations  of  many  of 
this  nation's  intellectuals.  But  the  elements  of  reform  have 
one  clear,  realistic,  and  obtainable  hope  for  accelerated 
progress,  the  Christian  Democratic  movement  ( PDC ) .  In 
El  Salvador  the  PDC  controls  the  majority  in  most  of  the 
important  towns  and  in  the  capital  city  of  San  Salvador. 
The  strongest  of  the  parties  opposing  the  government,  the 
PDC's  block  of  votes  in  the  Legislative  Assembly  —  along 
with  the  two  smaller  parties  —  is  just  one  vote  short  of  half, 
two  votes  short  of  control.  Most  observers  believe  that  if 
the  next  election  is  fair,  the  PDC  will  control  the  govern- 
ment. 

Mario  Zamora  Rivas,  a  law  student  and  PDC  leader, 
talks  of  Marxist  losses  throughout  the  Latin  university 
campuses  of  this  hemisphere.  He  is  quick  to  point  out  that 
as  the  Communists  lose  ground  the  Christian  Democrats 
gain.  He  notes  that  the  student-faculty  arm  of  the  Christian 
Democrats  has  already  gained  control  of  the  universities 
in  Chile,  Venezuela,  and  Nicaragua,  FRUSC  now  dom- 
inates the  faculty  in  El  Salvador,  Bolivia,  Paraguay,  Peru 
and  Guatemala. 

Zamora,  like  all  Christian  Democrats,  is  completely 
anti-Marxist.  He  believes  in  rapid  social  reforms,  but  he 
also  believes  that  the  government  must  insure  the  rights 
of  man,  freedom  of  speech,  freedom  of  thought,  and  all 
forms  of  personal  liberty.  Economic  reforms  must  insure 
"the  right  to  dignified  work,  remuneration,  freedom  to 
choose  the  type  of  work,  the  right  to  education."  Should 
the  PDC  win  the  Presidency  in  1972,  Mario  Zamora  Rivas 
may  well  see  his  dream  of  Christian  Socialism  face  the 
test  of  economic  reality.  □

Parkway  Playhouse: 
A  Joint  Venture 

Gordon  W.  Pearlman,  Department  of  Drama  and  Speech 


The  Parkway  Playhouse  at  Bums- 
ville is  a  unique  summer  stock  theatre 
—  unique  because  of  its  history  and 
operation  as  well  as  its  magnificent 
mountain  setting  and  the  overwhelm- 
ing support  it  receives  from  the  com- 
munity in  which  it  is  located.  It  has 
survived  21  years  in  a  community 
which  many  theatre  specialists  con- 
sider most  unlikely  for  a  theatre,  yet  it  is  this  town  set 
deep  in  the  Blue  Ridge  Mountains  which  has  given  the 
Playhouse  much  of  its  success. 

The  desire  for  a  theatre  in  Bumsville  at  last  became 
a  reality  in  1947  when  Rush  Wray  approached  W.  Ray- 
mond Taylor,  then  Director  of  Drama  at  Woman's  Col- 
lege, about  the  possibility  of  a  summer  stock  company. 


Mr.  Wray  had  served  as  Director  of  Drama  at  Greensboro 
College  before  returning  to  Bumsville  to  operate  the  fam- 
ily's Nu-Wray  Inn.  "Teach"  Taylor  was  interested  and  to- 
gether they  approached  Chancellor  W.  C.  Jackson  with 
the  proposal  of  a  summer  institute  in  Bumsville  as  part 
of  a  college  extension  program.  Dr.  Jackson  and  Charles 
W.  Phillips,  Public  Relations  Director,  took  the  idea  to 
Consolidated  University  President  Frank  Graham,  and  it 
was  his  support  that  obtained  a  $10,000  grant  from  the 
Carnegie  Foundation  to  launch  the  summer  extension 
program  .  .  .  and  Parkway  Playhouse. 

A  high  school  gymnasium  was  converted  into  a  theatre. 
With  the  cooperation  of  the  Yancey  County  Board  of 
Education  and  the  W.P.A.,  an  old  schoolhouse  was  torn 
down  and  for  18  days  men  worked  day  and  night  (with 
the  aid  of  floodlights)  to  accomplish  the  task  of  building

an  adjoining  stagehouse.  Until  the  dormitories  from  the 
Yancey  Collegiate  Institute  were  given  to  the  Playhouse 
several  years  later,  students  lived  in  the  homes  of  towns- 
people. Volunteers  worked  in  the  cafeteria  imder  the 
direction  of  Mrs.  Taylor,  and  many  people  contributed 
food  as  well  as  service.  Looking  back  to  those  days,  "Teach" 
Taylor  recalls  Frank  Howell,  Yancey  County's  Superin- 
tendent of  Education,  as  one  of  the  strongest  supporters 
of  the  Playhouse.  Mr.  Howell  permitted  the  company  to 
use  the  schools'  shop  and  cafeteria  and  cooperated  in 
everyway  to  insure  the  Playhouse's  initial  success. 

In  those  first  years  many  extension  division  courses 
were  taught.  Charles  Phillips,  Director  of  the  Summer 
School  Extension  in  Burnsville,  acted  as  both  business 
manager  and  teacher.  Chancellor  Jackson  and  the  late 
novelist  Lettie  Rogers  (Landscape  of  the  Heart,  Storm 
Cloud  and  Birthright)  were  among  the  first  instructors 
along  with  "Teach"  Taylor.  There  were  eight  to  ten  stu- 
dents from  Woman's  College  and  others  from  around 
Burnsville,  many  of  whom  were  working  toward  teacher 
certificate  renewal.  The  first  play  at  the  Playhouse  was 
the  Broadhurst  comedy.  Whatever  Happened  to  Jones? 
The  Playhouse  produced  five  to  six  shows  each  summer, 
usually  opening  with  the  commencement  play  from  Wo- 
man's College  and  closing  with  a  drama  to  open  the  fall 
theatre  season  on  campus. 

In  1954  Woman's  College  decided  it  could  no  longer 
operate  the  Playhouse.  Gordon  Bennett,  who  had  worked 
with  Mr.  Taylor  since  1948,  took  over  the  management 
with  the  University  of  Miami  ( Florida )  as  collegiate  sup- 
ervisor. During  the  next  13  years  under  Mr.  Bennett's 
direction,  the  Playhouse  was  expanded  to  include  a  shop, 
office,  box  office,  and  outdoor  theatre.  In  1966  Dr.  Herman 
Middleton,  Chairman  of  the  Department  of  Drama  and 
Speech  on  the  Greensboro  campus,  brought  the  Parkway 
Playhouse  "home"  to  the  University,  and  it  became  officially 
part  of  the  state  university  system. 

A  $25,000  grant  from  the  North  Carolina  Legislature 
paid  for  remodeling  and  refurnishing  dormitories  and 
apartments,  for  replacing  the  roof  on  the  theatre  and  one 
dormitory,  and  for  installing  a  new  lighting  and  sound 
system.  A  new  sewage  line  was  laid  and  guest  rooms  were 
added  for  visiting  press  and  University  faculty.  A  barbecue 
on  the  Playhouse  grounds  for  the  Board  of  Directors,  the 
Board  of  Education,  the  press,  the  Chancellor  and  Uni- 
versity personnel  opened  the  season  last  July  and  provided 
an  opportunity  to  view  these  improvements.

stage  too  during  "Skin  of  Our  Teeth"  shenanigans. 


Parkway's  summer  stock  operation  attracts  students  and 
staff  from  all  over  the  East  Coast.  Gordon  W.  Pearlman, 
Scenic  Designer  for  the  University  Theatre,  is  Managing 
Director  with  Lauren  K.  Woods  from  Monmouth  College 
in  New  Jersey.  Frank  Silberstein  from  the  University  of 
Virginia  is  Technical  Director,  and  guest  directors  last 
summer  came  from  Mars  Hill  College,  Gardner- Webb  Col- 
lege, the  University  of  Miami  and  the  Greensboro  Little 
Theatre.  Forty  students  came  from  10  states  and  16  col- 
leges. For  seven  weeks  in  July  and  August  the  Playhouse 
presented  four  plays  and  two  musicals.  Besides  working 
on  every  aspect  of  the  shows,  the  students  received  up  to 
seven  hours  of  accredited  course  work.  Morning  classes 
ranged  from  an  introduction  to  the  theatre,  acting  and 
make-up  to  workshops  in  production.  Rehearsals  and  crew 
assignments  occupied  the  afternoon  and  evenings  with 
performances  four  nights  a  week. 

Today,  as  in  1947,  the  citizens  of  Burnsville  provide 
dynamic  support  for  the  Playhouse.  Part  of  the  reason  no 
doubt  is  the  stream  of  summer  visitors  who  linger  longer, 
at  least  partly  persuaded  by  a  summer  stock  company  in 
the  area.  The  town  of  Burnsville  at  the  foot  of  Mount 
Mitchell,  highest  peak  east  of  the  Mississippi,  is  an  isolated 
community,  enveloped  for  years  in  the  mountain  culture 
of  farming,  log  schoolhouses,  homemade  tools  and  clothes 
and  dulcimer  music.  When  good  roads  brought  lowlanders 
seeking  the  cool  mountain  air,  new  modes  of  living  were 
introduced,  but  many  rural  traditions  were  retained.  Farm- 
ers still  work  their  land  by  hand,  guiding  mule-drawn 
plows  over  the  earth,  children  still  swim  in  the  creek, 
parents  still  buy  goods  in  the  country  store,  and  young 
and  old  alike  dos-a-dos  at  square  dances.  However,  col- 
leges and  higher  paying  jobs  continue  to  draw  the  youth 
away.  Although  the  population  for  the  state  more  than 
doubled  during  the  Fifties,  the  population  for  Burnsville 
remained  almost  the  same.  The  1950  census  shows  a  pop- 
ulation of  1,368,101  in  North  Carolina  and  1,341  in  Burns- 
ville. The  1960  census  shows  4,556,155,  a  133  per  cent  in- 
crease in  North  Carolina,  while  Burnsville's  population  in- 
creased by  only  47  or  three  and  one-half  per  cent. 

Such  facts  make  Burnsville  residents  realize  that  the 
Playhouse  is  important  in  keeping  their  community  alive 
and  partially  accounts  for  the  fact  that  just  about  everyone 
in  Burnsville  does  something  for  the  Playhouse.  This  past 
summer  donations  included  a  piano,  costumes,  properties, 
furniture  and  enough  material  from  the  local  mill  for  new 
curtains,  made  by  local  women,  for  dormitory  rooms  and

apartments.  Even  the  children  participate.  Last  summer 
they  were  enthusiastic  members  of  the  cast  of  The  Music 
Man. 

The  Yancey  County  Board  of  Education,  which  owns 
all  of  the  buildings  the  theatre  uses,  including  the  theatre 
itself  and  the  dormitories,  also  lends  the  public  school 
auditorium  for  extra  rehearsal  space  and  the  cafeteria  in 
the  elementary  school  for  meals.  The  school  piano,  the 
mimeograph  machine,  and  a  truck  all  are  available  for 
Playhouse  use.  The  Board  of  Directors,  comprised  of  local 
businessmen  and  residents,  represents  the  city  in  deciding 
policies  in  Playhouse  operation,  holding  themselves  re- 
sponsible for  any  deficiency.  A  committee  from  the  Board 
supervises  inprovements  during  the  winter  months,  and 
has  the  theatre  complex  in  order  before  the  company  ar- 
rives in  June.  The  board  also  sells  advertising  for  the  pro- 
gram and  season  tickets.  One-half  of  the  Parkway  patrons 
are  local  residents,  most  of  them  season-ticket  holders.  The 
grand  total  of  Bumsvillians  who  attended  the  six  shows  is 
more  than  the  entire  population,  an  indication  of  the  ex- 
tent to  which  the  town  supports  its  theatre. 

With  the  University  and  the  people  of  Burnsville  work- 
ing tandem,  the  success  of  the  joint  venture  that  is  Park- 
way Playhouse  should  be  issured.

ALUMNAE  WIVES  IN  WASHINGTON 


Katherine  McLean  Jordan  '20 

Sen.  B.  Everette  Jordan— Saxapahaw 

The  Jordans  spent  Christmas,  as  always,  at  their  home 
in  Saxapahaw  where  two  sons,  Ben  E.  Jr.,  and  John  Mc- 
Lean, hve  and  a  daughter  near  by  (Mrs.  Roger  Gant, 
Burhngton).  Although  disappointed  to  miss  the  Raleigh 
inauguration  (the  Governor's  mother  is  the  senator's  first 
cousin),  Mrs.  Jordan  was  looking  forward  to  the  whirl  of 
life  in  Washington  where  she  lives  during  senate  sessions. 
She  may  have  anticipated  the  presidential  inauguration 
with  some  relief  since  her  husband  did  not  direct  the  cere- 
mony as  he  did  four  years  ago  (many  called  it  the  best  run 
inauguration  in  history ) .  As  head  of  the  Senate  Rules  Com- 
mittee, it  was  again  his  responsibility,  but  with  the  election 
of  a  Republican  president,  he  resigned  in  behalf  of  Sen. 
Everett  Dirksen. 


Annie  Elliott  Lee  Jonas 

Rep.  Charles  R.  Jonas— Lincolnton 

Annie  Elliott  didn't  worry  about  congressional  service 
this  year  since,  as  she  wrote,  "the  past  16  years  have  taken 
their  toll,"  referring  to  her  inability  to  keep  things  organ- 
ized as  she  did  in  pre-Congress  days.  Both  of  their  sons 
are  married:  Charles  Jr.,  a  broker  with  Reynolds  and  Com- 
pany in  Charlotte,  and  Richard  Elliott,  a  lawyer  with  his 
father's  firm  in  Lincolnton.  "But  no  matter  how  demanding, 
this  life  is  fun  and  interesting." 


Doris  Long  Jones  37x 

Rep.  Walter  B.  Jones— FarmviUe 

Commenting  on  the  difference  between  Washington 
and  eastern  North  Carolina,  Doris  has  come  to  three  con- 
clusions: that  longtime  friends  are  irreplaceable,  that  every- 


one  throughout  the  world  is  as  nice  as  one  will  let  them  be, 
and  that  she  sometimes  knows  all  the  answers  to  national 
crisis  "but  no  one  asks  me  the  questions."  They  have  two 
children,  both  married:  Mrs.  Bob  Moye  (Farmville), 
mother  of  three  children,  and  Walter  II  who  works  for 
Wachovia  Bank  in  nearby  Greenville. 

Emily  Harris  Prayer 

Rep.  L.  Richardson  Preyer— Greensboro 

Emily  is  looking  forward  to  a  new  experience  as  Rich 
enters  his  first  term  in  Congress,  although  she  will  be  com- 
muting between  Washington  and  her  duties  in  Greensboro 
as  mother  of  five  children  ( Rich  Jr.,  Princeton;  Mary  Norris, 
UNC-CH;  Britt,  Woodberry  Forest;  and  two  at  home,  Jane, 
15,  and  Emily,  10).  Emily  does  the  family  cooking,  drives 
her  share  of  carpools  and  plays  tennis  vigorously  yet  finds 
time  for  an  incredible  range  of  activity  outside  the  home 
(including  past  service  to  UNC-G  as  alumni  association 
president  and  Alumni  Annual  Giving  chairman  and  present 
service  as  a  trustee  of  the  Consolidated  University). 


Evelyn  Reeves  Taylor  '31 

Rep.  Roy  Taylor— Black  Mountain 

With  her  husband  entering  a  sixth  term  in  Congress, 
Evelyn  Taylor  acknowledges  that  Congressional  service  is 
not  easy  but  extremely  challenging.  Their  children  are  a 
son,  Alan,  a  graduate  of  Mississippi  State  University  who 
just  completed  two  years  of  Marine  service,  and  a  daughter, 
Toni,  wife  of  Dr.  John  F.  Robinson,  who  recently  entered 
military  service  for  two  years,  and  mother  of  the  Taylor's 
three-year-old  grandson.  For  the  past  two  years  she  has 
been  president  of  the  Congressional  Club,  a  special  group 
composed  of  wives  of  Congress  and  cabinet  members,  and 
a  part  of  the  Washington  scene  for  the  past  60  years.
