Student  Government  —  A  Strong  Voice 

or  Archaic  Tradition?  1 

Should  Student  Government  be  abolished  on  the 
UNC-G  campus?  It  was  a  question  some  students  were 
asking  after  it  look  seven  elections  to  elect  a  SG  presi- 
dent this  year.  However,  a  survey  of  past  presidents 
indicates  SG  is  a  tradition  to  be  nurtured  and  saved. 
Meanwhile,  the  new  president  is  seeking  help  to  do 
just  that.

A  look  at  the  money  that  UNC-G,  its  faculty,  staff, 
and  students  spend  each  year  shows  that  the  Univer- 
sity is  Big  Business  for  the  Greensboro  community. 


Students  Moonlight  for  Funds  and  Fun 

Shrinking  dollars  for  student  aid  has  driven  many 
students  to  seek  off-campus  employment  that  is 
unique,  sometimes  fun,  and  often  career-oriented.

A  Strong  Voice 

or  Archaic  Tradition? 


Student  Government... 


UNC-G  made  the  national  headlines  in  December  when 
the  Chronicle  of  Higher  Education  carried  the  news 
"N.C.  Students  Still  Trying  to  Elect  a  President." 


Even  as  the  article  appeared,  stu- 
dents were  going  to  the  polls  a 
seventh  time  —  finally  to  elect  a  win- 
ner, Brian  Berkley,  a  21-year-old 
senior  from  Raleigh.  Only  681  out  of 
approximately  10,000  eligible  voters 
cast  a  ballot,  but  after  seven  elec- 
tions, student  apathy  was  under- 
standable. 

Alumni  who  remember  student 
government  as  a  vital  force  may 
wonder  what  has  happened  to  this 
valued  institution  on  the  Greensboro 
campus.  Admittedly,  there  has  been  a 
decline  in  interest,  a  decline  which 
reflects  a  national  phenomenon.  In 
recent  years  student  government  has 
been  disbanded  on  at  least  a  dozen 
major  campuses  across  the  country, 
but  those  familiar  with  its  history  at 
UNC-G  would  find  it  inconceivable 
for  this  to  happen  on  a  campus  where 
independence  and  responsible  free- 
dom were  a  shibboleth  to  generations 
of  young  women. 

Of  course,  UNC-G's  history  as  a 
woman's  college  has  been  one  of  the 
University's  problems.  The  present 
student  government  has  not  changed 
to  accommodate  the  great  changes 
that  have  taken  place  in  almost  every 
aspect  of  campus  life  since  university 
status  was  conferred  in  1963. 

Instead  of  a  small  residential  cam- 
pus of  women  students,  UNC-G  has 
become  a  comprehensive  university 
with  a  student  body  one-third  male, 
one-third  graduate  students,  and  two- 
thirds  commuters.  But  first  a  look  at 
what  happened  last  March  and  in  the 
succeeding  months  as  students  sought 
to  elect  a  Student  Government  presi- 
dent. 


Over  1,600  students  turned  out 
March  24  for  the  first  election.  The 
voting  went  well,  but  a  crowded  field 
of  11  candidates  required  a  runoff 
between  Berkley  and  David  Miller  of 
Reidsville.  Two  subsequent  elections 


charged  him  with  using  a  stolen  credit 
card  to  purchase  clothing.  After  a 
month's  leave  of  absence.  Miller 
resigned  in  November  when  a  grand 
jury  indicted  him  on  a  charge  of 
fraud.  (His  case  is  scheduled  for  trial 


The  Student  Council,  first  organized  in  1910,  had  13  members,  three  from  each  class  and  the  chief 
marshal  who  served  as  president.  The  Council  of  1913  is  shown  here  as  it  appeared  in  The  Caro- 
linian that  year:  left  to  right,  first  row  — Anne  Spainhour  Walker  '16,  Morganton;  Anna  Doggett 
Doggett  '16,  Greensboro:  Meriel  Groves  Fosbrink  '13  (deceased):  Lillian  Crisp  Lawrence  '13 
(deceased);  second  row  — Louise  Goodwin  Rankin  '16  (deceased):  Patlie  J.  Grooves  '14.  South 
Hadley,  Massachusetts:  Sadie  Rice  Reid  '13  (deceased);  Klizabeth  Craig  '13  (deceased):  Kathleen 
Erwin  '15  (deceased);  third  row— Lila  Melvin  Rhyne  '14  (deceased);  Ruth  Harriss  Tyson  '15,  Carth- 
age: Fanny  Hunt  Fonda  'IS  (inactive);  Effie  Baynes  Warren  '14,  Hurdle  Mills. 


were  voided  when  both  candidates 
complained  of  voting  irregularities. 
When  the  students  went  home  in 
May,  there  was  still  no  president. 

In  September  another  runoff  was 
held  with  Miller,  a  senior  planning  a 
career  in  law,  winning  by  55  votes. 
Two  weeks  later  he  was  arrested  with 
a  friend  by  Greensboro  police  who 


in  Guilford  County  Superior  Court  in 
February  or  March.) 

A  sixth  election  attempt  was  foiled 
in  November  when  SG  Vice  President 
Rusty  Weadon,  a  junior  from  Brown 
Summit,  admitted  taking  50  ballots 
with  the  intention  of  manipulating 
the  election  if  it  did  not  go  to  suit 
him.  Subsequently,  he  also  resigned. 


". . .  Indifference  has  grown  as  the 
need  for  changing  its  structure  has 
become  increasingly  obvious ...  but 
attempts  have  been  made." 


It  was  not  so  long  ago  that  student  elections  were  vigorously  contested,  that  campaign  banners 
covered  the  campus  with  slogans. 


The  seventh  and  final  election  pro- 
duced a  win  for  Berkley  who  beat  Jill 
Hubbard,  a  junior  from  Elon  Col- 
lege, by  120  votes.  Actually,  only  646 
votes  were  legitimately  cast.  Some 
students  included  write-in  candidates 
such  as  Mickey  Mouse  or  Richard 
Nixon. 

What,  the  campus  seemed  to  ask, 
has  happened  to  UNC-G's  proud 
heritage  of  student  leadership  which 
dates  back  more  than  70  years? 

Part  of  the  answer  may  lie  in  the 
history  of  student  government  on  the 
Greensboro  campus. 

The  first  step  in  self  governance  by 
students  was  taken  in  1910  when  the 
Students'  Council  was  organized, 
chiefly  to  serve  as  a  means  of  com- 
munication between  the  college 
authorities  and  the  student  body.  The 
Student  Government  Association  was 
officially  organized  in  1914,  with 
Gladys  Avery  Tillett  '15  of  Charlotte 
as  its  first  president.  Several  years  ago 
in  an  article  in  the  Alumni  News,  she 


recalled  the  sense  of  freedom  which 
ran  strong  that  year. 

"The  atmosphere  of  suffrage  was 
in  the  air,  and  many  of  us  marched  in 
suffrage  parades,"  she  wrote.  "We 
were  notably  conservative  even  for 
those  times,  so  the  first  order  of 
business  was  to  loosen  social  regula- 
tions. That  first  year  was  not  without 
controversy.  Everything  that  hap- 
pened was  blamed  on  the  new  system. 
If  a  girl  walked  on  the  grass,  some  of 
the  long-time  faculty  members  would 
say,  'We  knew  this  would  happen.'  If 
they  were  late  to  breakfast,  it  was 
blamed  on  the  new  student  system.  It 
was  the  new  peg  on  which  all  of  the 
troubles  of  the  college  life  could  be 
hanged." 

Troubles  or  not,  Student  Govern- 
ment over  the  years  was  an  effective, 
respected  voice  of  the  students.  It  has 
only  been  in  recent  years  that  in- 
difference has  grown  as  the  need  for 
changing  its  structure  has  become  in- 
creasingly obvious.  Vice  Chancellor 


for  Student  Affairs  Jim  Allen  readily 
acknowledges  this  failure  to  change, 
but  he  says  attempts  have  been  made. 
"Student  Government  did  a  self 
study  in  1978,  and  based  on  that 
study,  an  amendment  to  the  Constitu- 
tion was  drawn  up,  changing  the 
composition  of  the  Senate.  Students 
voted  in  the  spring  election  that  year 
to  make  the  necessary  changes,  but  an 
opposing  group  charged  voting  irreg- 
ularities, and  it  was  invalidated."  It 
was  to  have  come  up  for  a  vote  the 
next  year,  but  opponents  kept  it  in 
committee  until  it  was  forgotten. 

The  newly  elected  president  Brian 
Berkley  is  aware  of  the  need  for 
change  as  well.  Although  he  has  only 
four  months  in  office,  he  has  already 
taken  steps  to  make  those  months 
count. 

"We  are  going  to  have  a  major 
review,    getting    people    from    each

The  visit  of  Woman's  College  students  to  the 
General  Assembly's  biennial  sessions  was 
almost  a  rite  of  spring.  Newspapers  took 
gleeful  note  with  cartoons  such  as  this  one 
which  appeared  in  the  Greensboro  Daily  l\ews 
in  the  Fifties. 


"The  SGA  presidency  taught  me 
more  in  three  semesters  than  all 
my  liberal  arts  courses."

branch  of  the  government  as  well  as 
the  administration  and  faculty  to 
examine  the  Constitution  and  recom- 
mend changes.  Right  now  we  have 
one  house,  the  Senate,  which  consists 
of  residential  representatives  and 
town  students,  but  no  departmental 
representation." 

He,  with  his  acting  Vice  President 
Deidre  Smith  and  Attorney  General 
Stacy  Smith,  have  met  with  Chan- 
cellor William  Moran  and  Vice  Chan- 
cellor Allen  to  discuss  what  the  new 
student  administration  can  do  to  get 
SG  back  on  the  track.  As  he  told  the 
Senate  at  his  inauguration,  "We 
know  our  limitations  and  our  ob- 
stacles, but  we've  hit  the  ground  with 
our  feet  running." 

To  help  put  Student  Government, 
past  and  future,  into  perspective,  the 
Alumni  News  sent  letters  to  52  of  the 
65  past  SG  presidents,  asking  about 
the  role  of  Student  Government  in 
general  at  UNC-G  and  their  presi- 
dency in  particular. 


A  Valuable  Experience? 

Of  the  33  replies,  30  considered  it  a 
valuable  experience  and  said  they 
would  serve  as  SG  president  again  if 
they  had  the  chance.  Emily  Harris 
Preyer  (1938-39)  said,  "Yes,  it  was  a 
wonderful  experience,  and  I  would  do 
it  again  and  again  and  again." 

Nancy  Blanton  Smith  (1950-51) 
said,  "My  student  government  presi- 
dency opened  up  a  whole  new  world 
for  me  —  the  most  valuable  exper- 
ience that  I  had  in  college.  Responsi- 
bilities welcomed,  1  would  do  it  again 
in  a  minute!" 

"I  would  certainly  do  it  again," 
wrote  Ann  Prince  Cuddy  (1963-64). 
"I  say  this  despite  the  drop  in  my 
grades  which  probably  kept  me  out  of 
Phi  Beta  Kappa.  The  grade  drop  was 
regrettable,  but  the  SGA  experience 
was  better." 

And  David  Payne  (1979-80)  re- 
called that  "the  SG  presidency  taught 
me  more  in  three  semesters  than  all 
my  liberal  arts  courses." 


Some  others  were  less  sure  they 
would  do  a  repeat  presidential  per- 
formance. As  Bronna  Willis  '62  said, 
"Would  1  do  it  again?  Thank  God,  I 
really  don't  have  to  make  that 
choice!" 

Many  former  SG  presidents  felt 
their  term  in  office  did  make  some 
difference,  especially  in  those  times 
of  change.  In  the  early  thirties,  smok- 
ing was  prohibited  on  campus. 
According  to  Jane  Wharton  Sockwell 
(1930-31),  "Smoking  was  quite  an 
issue  at  the  time.  At  a  mass  meeting  a 
position  was  agreed  upon,  presented 
to  Dr.  Foust  who  agreed  to  the  stu- 
dent demands.  Eventually,  those  who 
got  written  permission  from  home 
were  allowed  to  smoke  in  designated 
areas.  Also,  when  the  united  students 
insisted,  a  dance  with  boys  was  per- 
mitted." 

Avery  McConnell  Hood  (1931-32) 
also  encountered  the  smoking  battle. 
"Regrettably,  my  great  contribution 
was  a  drive  to  get  the  regulation 
against  smoking  rescinded,  though  I 
did  not  smoke  at  the  time.  1  did  for 
the  next  10  years  —  but  now  I  hate  it." 

The  War  Years  provided  some  spe- 
cial challenges,  recalled  Mary  Eppes 
Turner  (1941-42),  who  helped  to 
introduce  a  workable  honor  policy. 
Her  administration  also  helped  to 
break  down  the  prejudice  against 
soldiers.  "We  convinced  Miss  Elliot 
that  soldiers  were  just  regular  guys  in 
uniform,  that  we  didn't  need  to  be 
forbidden  to  date  them.  We  also 
came  up  with  some  creative  ways  to 
help  the  war  effort." 

The  same  efforts  faced  Nancy 
Kirby  West  (1943-44).  "Efforts  to 
'mobilize'  student  contribution  was  a 
priority  —  and  one  we  met,  1  think. 
From  dorm  black-outs  to  tea  dances 
for  servicemen,  the  big  push  was  to 
build  morale.  My  best  memory  is  the 
fierce  competition  to  be  a  waitress 
volunteer  in  the  dining  hall.  We  also

UNC-G  Dollars 

Swell  Piedmont  Coffers 


by  Jim  Clark  MFA  78 


More  than  $147  million  will  flow  through  the 
Greensboro  economy  from  UNC-G  this  year. 


The  average  homeowner,  worried 
about  making  ends  meet,  should  drop 
by  the  University  accounting  office 
and  look  at  the  bills  that  come  across 
the  desk  of  University  Controller 
Dennis  Press. 

In  1981-82  alone,  UNC-G's  phone 
and  postage  bill  will  be  nearly  half  a 
million  dollars,  and  the  campus  util- 
ity bill  almost  $2.5  million. 
Repairmen  will  demand  another  half 
million  dollars,  and  Jackson  Library 
will  stack  up  nearly  a  $1  million  bill 
for  reading  material. 

"Running  a  major  university  is 
expensive,"  says  Press,  noting  that 
this  year  alone  the  State  budgeted 
more  than  three-quarters  of  a  million 
dollars  just  for  UNC-G's  supplies. 

Purchasing  those  supplies  —  every 
thumbtack,  white  mouse,  film  pro- 
jector and  hedge  trimmer  —  is  the 
responsibility  of  the  University  pur- 
chasing office.  And  it's  a  massive 
job,  says  purchasing  agent  Roger 
Davis,  involving  a  team  of  workers  in 
his  office  and  a  network  of  assistance 
across  campus.  "A  lot  of  people 
forget  that  UNC-G  is  a  city  within  a 
city.  We  have  a  police  department 
bigger  than  that  of  many  towns  in 
North  Carolina,  and  just  think  of  the 
thousands  of  people  who  are  fed  on 
this  campus  every  day." 

Last  year  his  office  processed  more 
than  10,000  orders  from  various 
departments  and  offices  on  campus. 
Some  items  are  very  expensive  — 
Davis  points  to  an  invoice  for  a 
$27,582  microscope.  Other  items  may 
be  small  but  time-consuming,  espe- 
cially if  people  are  not  specific  in  their 
orders.  "If  they  say  they  want  two 
dozen  widgets  but  don't  specify  the 
size,  make,  color  and  when  they  want 
it,  there  can  be  complications." 


One  of  the  skills  Davis  has  devel- 
oped is  the  ability  to  "second  guess" 
what  people  really  want.  He  even  has 
no  problem  matching  the  unusual  re- 
quest with  a  specialized  supplier. 
Orders  for  rare  frogs,  for  example, 
would  be  referred  to  Carolina  Biolog- 
ical Supply  in  Burlington. 

While  shopping  for  UNC-G  is  an 
ongoing  process,  the  summer  buying 
spree  prior  to  the  opening  of  fall 
semester  is  the  most  hectic.  The  con- 
struction and  fitting  of  a  new  building 
is  another  time  the  orders  really  fly. 
About  two  years  before  the  building 
is  actually  occupied,  Davis  asks  for 
"wish  lists"  from  the  departments 
and  offices  which  will  occupy  the  new 
facility.  He  tries  to  make  the  wishes 
come  true,  given  the  constraints  of 
budgets  and  state  specifications. 
Sometimes  he  has  to  play  mediator 
between  personal  tastes,  institutional 
needs,  and  the  realities  of  purchasing. 
"We  might  recommend  something  in 
purple  and  then  find  the  department 
head  doesn't  like  purple." 

Sometimes  there  are  the  small 
ordering  details  that  can  result  in  big 
problems  if  ignored.  For  example, 
classes  in  the  Nursing  Building  or  in 
the  new  Business  and  Economics 
Building  attract  more  adult  students, 
so  chairs  need  to  be  a  little  sturdier  — 
and  wider  —  to  accommodate  "mid- 
dle age  spread." 

Davis  says  faculty  members  are 
very  cooperative  in  filling  out  all  the 
ordering  red  tape  ("Of  course,  we 
don't  call  it  that").  And  Davis  may 
be  more  understanding  than  most 
purchasing  agents  at  major  institu- 
tions because  he  has  been  on  both 
sides  of  the  fence.  He  is  a  former 
seventh  grade  teacher  and  a  salesman, 
with  experience  in  the  furniture  trade. 


While  some  might  get  depressed  at 
seeing  all  the  bills  the  University  piles 
up,  Davis  has  a  different  view.  All 
those  invoices  are  money  in  the  bank 
for  a  lot  of  people.  Dennis  Press,  who 
joined  the  administrative  staff  as  con- 
troller in  1981,  agrees.  UNC-G  em- 
ploys over  3,000  people.  They  will 
collect  more  than  $33.5  million  in 
salaries  and  benefits  this  year.  That's 
a  lot  of  money  pouring  into  the  com- 
munity from  campus. 

While  the  state  designates  a  Ust  of 
approved  vendors  from  across  North 
Carolina,  many  dealers  are  local.  In 
fact,  products  manufactured  outside 
of  Greensboro  may  use  materials  pro- 
duced in  the  area,  such  as  fabrics 
made  by  Burlington  Industries  may 
be  used  in  furniture  produced  in 
Hickory. 

Both  administrators  say  few  people 
realize  the  enormous  impact  the  cam- 
pus makes  on  the  local  economy,  but 
the  Greensboro  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce does.  In  studying  the  impor- 
tance of  UNC-G  to  the  local  econ- 
omy, the  Chamber  projected  that 
between  1976  and  1981  the  University 
would  spend  $24  million  dollars  on 
goods  and  services.  But  that's  just  the 
beginning.  This  year  alone  it  is  esti- 
mated UNC-G  will  expend  nearly  $9 
million  dollars  on  its  total  goods  and 
services. 

In  addition,  this  year  UNC-G  stu- 
dents will  spend  an  estimated  $22 
million  in  the  Greensboro  area  on 
clothing,  recreation,  entertainment 
and  even  automobiles.  Students  living 
off-campus  will  spend  nearly  $16 
million  on  housing  and  living  ex- 
penses. 

Even  returning  alumni  and  parents 
visiting  campus  make  a  sizeable  con- 
tribution to  the  local  economy.  With 


The  impact  of  UNC-G's  mindpower  cannot  be  put  in  dollars.  But  in  terms  of  dollar  power, 
there  is  little  doubt  that  Greensboro's  small  investment  90  years  ago  has  paid  off  handsomely. 


some  10,000  parents  and  friends 
attending  graduation  each  year  and 
hundreds  of  alumni  returning  to  their 
Alma  Mater  annually,  millions  more 
are  spent  on  motels,  hotels,  restau- 
rants, service  stations  and  retail 
stores. 

There  are,  of  course,  less  tangible 
economic  effects  on  the  local  econ- 
omy. One  of  the  selling  points  of 
Greensboro  in  attracting  new  busi- 
ness to  the  area  is  the  presence  of 
UNC-G  as  a  major  regional  univer- 
sity. In  fact,  when  Ciba-Geigy  moved 
to  Greensboro  in  1972,  the  company 
cited  the  abundance  of  higher  educa- 
tion resources  as  a  major  factor  in 
selecting  the  city  for  its  location. 


If  the  campus  were  destroyed,  it 
would  cost  $134  million  to  replace  it. 
But  that  does  not  take  into  account 
the  total  loss  to  the  Greensboro  area. 
It  is  estimated  that  this  year  alone 
UNC-G  will  bring  some  $80  million 
to  the  Greensboro  area.  In  addition, 
applying  the  Chamber's  multiplier 
factor  for  generated  dollars,  UNC-G 
will  add  $147  million  to  the  region's 
economic  circle. 

Back  in  1891,  when  a  site  was 
sought  for  the  North  Carolina  State 
Normal  and  Industrial  School,  there 
was  a  mad  rush  by  North  Carolina 
towns  bidding  for  the  school  to  be 
located  in  their  community.  Graham 
and  Thomasville  offered  $20,000  in 


bonds,  Durham  $20,000  in  cash  and 
$10,000  in  land.  Greensboro  offered 
$25,000,  then  upped  the  ante  to 
$30,000  plus  a  building  site.  When 
Greensboro  emerged  the  winner, 
some  competing  towns  did  not  take 
the  news  politely.  But  the  Durham 
H'eekly  Globe  did,  stating,  "Greens- 
boro was  a  winner  sure  enough.  She 
had  the  boodle  and  she  got  the 
school." 

The  impact  of  UNC-G's  mind- 
power  cannot  be  put  in  dollars.  But  in 
terms  of  dollar  power,  there  is  little 
doubt  that  Greensboro's  small  invest- 
ment 90  years  ago  has  paid  off  hand- 
somely.

Tim  Hiskey,  valel  parker  at  Elms 

Budget  cuts  have  drastically  reduced 
work-study  funds  and  grants  for  stu- 
dents, forcing  many  to  look  for  part- 
time  work  to  provide  for  their  living 
expenses,  tuition,  and  books.  Typi- 
cally, students  find  jobs  as  waiters  or 
waitresses,  babysitters,  or  typists,  but 
some  have  combined  ingenuity  and 
good  luck  to  find  unusual  moonlight- 
ing jobs  to  help  them  through  school 
and  to  prepare  them  for  careers. 

To  allow  time  for  classes  and 
studies,  students  usually  have  to  find 
"flex  time"  jobs  or  do  some  creative 
scheduling.  Rickey  Macaluso  shares

evening  hours  with  other  UNC-G 
students.  They  serve  as  valet  parkers 
at  the  Elms  restaurant  in  Old  Greens- 
borough.  Rickey  usually  works  two 
nights  a  week  parking  as  many  as  15 
cars  a  night.  He  makes  $4  per  hour 
with  tips.  On  slow  nights,  he  studies 
under  the  street  lights.  A  sophomore 
business  administration  major, 
Rickey  says  his  work  at  the  Elms  has 
influenced  his  intention  to  become  a 
restaurant  manager. 

Some  students  combine  restaurant 
jobs  with  other  money-making  ven- 
tures. Ken  Sharpe,  a  communications 
major  and  writer  for  the  Carolinian, 
is  a  Christmas  tree  farmer,  in  addi- 
tion to  working  as  a  waiter  30  hours  a 
week.  Ken  says  Christmas  trees  are  a 
good  business  for  a  student  because 
they  don't  take  up  much  time.  He  and 
a  partner  share  the  responsibilities  of 
a  15-acre  farm,  six  of  which  are  in 
Christmas  trees.  When  he  has  the 
time,  he  cuts  weeds  from  around  the 
trees  and  sprays  a  pesticide  to  protect 
them  from  pine  beetles,  a  parasite 
which  causes  the  needles  to  turn 
brown.  This  year  he  hoped  to  make  at 
least  enough  profit  to  pay  for  Christ- 
mas presents. 

John  Graves  and  Brian  Hill  have 
employers  who  schedule  them  to 
work  regularly  when  they're  not  in 
class.  John,  a  physical  education 
major,  works  23  to  30  hours  a  week 
for  a  beer  and  wine  distributor, 
checking  returning  drivers  and 
tabulating  the  invoices.  A  Greens- 
boro law  firm  trained  Brian,  a  psy- 
chology major,  to  work  20  hours  a 
week  as  a  researcher  and  copier. 

With  high  unemployment  rates 
putting  students  at  a  special  dis- 
advantage in  job  hunting,  UNC-G 
offers  a  Job  Location  and  Develop- 
ment Program  coordinated  by  Susan 
Broussard  Nolan.  The  Greensboro 
business  community  is  receptive  to 
students  as  part-time  employees,  she 
says.  However,  students  often  find  it 


best  to  arrange  their  class  schedules 
around  their  work  rather  than  vice 
versa. 

Recently,  three  students  got  jobs 
through  the  program.  Kelly 
Chandler,  a  business  major,  did  not 
expect  to  find  a  job  related  to  her 
field.  She  went  to  work  as  a  clerk  in 
the  purchasing  and  engineering 
department  at  Burlington  Industries, 
and  two  months  later  she  was  given 
the  responsibility  for  making  sure 
companies  who  do  contract  work  for 
Burlington  maintain  their  insurance 
requirements.  Kelly  hopes  the  job, 
which  gives  her  insight  into  business 
and  corporations,  will  lead  to  a  full- 
time  job  with  Burlington  after  grad- 
uation. 

Anita  Brewer  has  used  the  service 
to  find  several  jobs  partially  related 
to  her  communications  major.  In 
addition  to  working  in  a  television 
studio,  she  has  used  another  com- 
munications device  —  the  telephone. 
She  has  worked  as  a  dispatcher  for 
campus  police  and  as  a  surveyer  for 
two  marketing  firms.  In  one  job  she 
worked  at  home,  interviewing  people 
over  the  phone  about  their  preference 


Anita  Brewer 


of  grocery  stores.  She  is  now  working 
for  the  Research  Management  Corp., 
which  is  operated  by  a  UNC-G  MBA 
student,  Diane  Bailey.  In  this  job, 
Anita  calls  people  who  have  sought 
help  or  services  from  the  Greensboro 
Police  Department  to  ask  if  they  were 
satisfied  with  the  police  response. 

Ken  Brooks  used  the  program  to 
find  a  job  that  literally  keeps  food  on 
the  table.  He  is  an  "undercover 
agent"  for  the  fast  food  world.  Every 
month  his  employers,  J.  Frank  House 
Shopping  Service,  sends  him  ques- 
tionnaires on  the  quality  of  a  fast 
food  restaurant.  He  enters  the  restau- 
rant as  an  ordinary  customer,  orders 
a  meal,  and  then  reports  on  the  qual- 
ity, cleanliness,  and  service.  Neither 
the  restaurant  manager  nor  the 
employees  know  his  purpose.  Ken 
reports  on  six  restaurants  in  the 
Greensboro  area.  His  employer  pays 
for  transportation  to  and  from  the 
restaurant  and  for  the  food  he  buys 
there.  He  gets  18  free  meals  a  month 
and  can  choose  when  he  works. 

Another  student  engaged  in 
"undercover  work"  is  Stacy  Smith, 
one    of    four    students    working    as 


George  Ward  II 


plainclothes  security  officers  in  a 
local  department  store.  When  she  is 
not  keeping  an  eye  on  things  at  work, 
she  serves  as  Attorney  General  for 
Student  Government  on  campus. 

A  few  students  have  managed  to 
earn  their  way  by  doing  what  they  like 
most.  Anne  Shu,  for  example,  is 
choir  director  and  organist  at  Sedge- 
field  Presbyterian  Church  while  earn- 
ing a  Master  of  Music  in  organ.  She 
conducts  choir  rehearsals,  decides  on 
hymns,  practices  on  the  organ,  and 
arranges  for  special  music  programs 
presented  at  the  church.  It  is  a  big 
responsibility  for  a  full-time  student, 
but  she  has  found  that  her  church 
work  and  music  studies  complement 
each  other  well. 

George  Ward  II,  a  junior  in  speech 
and  drama,  is  co-host  for  an  after- 
noon television  show  for  children. 
George  plays  Quincy,  Captain  Triad's 
sidekick  on  "The  Captain  Triad 
Show"  on  Greensboro's  Channel  48. 
Every  afternoon  from  3  to  5,  he  per- 
forms on  the  live  show  which  he  and 
his  co-host  improvise.  George's 
character  provides  the  comic  element. 
"It's  like  being  ten  years  old  all  over 
again,"  says  George.  His  job  has 
made  him  a  celebrity  among  children 
of  the  area.  Last  summer,  he  and 
Captain  Triad  drove  around  in  the 
Whiplash  Car,  a  '58  Oldsmobile 
transformed  into  their  space  mobile, 
to  visit  the  shopping  malls  and  meet 
with  crowds  of  children.  George 
hopes  his  success  will  further  his 
acting  career. 

Elizabeth  Daum,  a  senior  in  speech 
and  communications,  performs  as  a 
clown  for  Funny  Business,  a  Greens- 
boro business  whose  employees  are 
jugglers,  balloon  sculptors,  belly 
dancers,  and  clowns.  Her  most  fre- 
quent assignment  is  to  deliver  singing 
telegrams,  but  she  has  delivered 
beach-grams,  preppy-grams,  even 
helicopter-grams.  She  says  the  recip- 
ients of  her  singing  telegrams  —  one 


Klizabeth  Daum 

of  whom  was  Jim  Allen,  Vice  Chan- 
cellor for  Student  Affairs  —  are 
either  shocked  or  hysterical,  but  they 
always  seem  to  enjoy  them. 

Funny  Business  is  owned  and  oper- 
ated by  Susan  Allen  '73,  who  says 
over  half  of  her  150  employees  are 
UNC-G  students.  "Students  make 
good  clowns,"  she  says.  In  fact,  she 
has  been  so  pleased  with  Elizabeth's 
work  that  she  has  asked  her  to  work 
full-time  after  she  graduates.  And 
Elizabeth,  who  plans  to  become  a 
professional  clown,  just  might 
accept.  "It's  wonderful  to  get  paid  to 
make  people  smile."

THE  CENTENARY 
PROJECT 


by  Dr.  Richard  Bardolph 


Only  rarely  does  Dr.  Richard  Bar- 
dolph In  his  interviewing  schedule 
depart  from  the  rule  that  the  Centen- 
ary Series  of  oral  history  tapes  should 
be  college  day  recollections  of  alumni. 
An  exception  is  Mrs.  Robert  A.  Mer- 
ritt,  St.,  who  came  to  the  college 
community  with  her  husband  in  1906. 
In  1908  the  Merritts  built  a  home  on 
the  corner  of  Spring  Garden  and 
Stirling  Streets.  It  is  there  that  Mrs. 
Merritt  has  lived  on  the  immediate 
edge  of  the  campus  for  nearly  75 
years. 

We  set  up  our  recording  equipment 
on  a  summer  afternoon  in  the  living 
room  of  the  handsome,  rambhng 
white  frame  house  which  stands,  half- 
concealed  by  trees  and  shrubs,  well 
back  from  Spring  Garden.  We  found 
Mrs.  Merritt  a  model  of  graciousness: 
erect,  poised,  and  —  despite  her  96 
years  —  showing  not  the  slightest  sign 
of  fatigue  or  waning  interest  as  our 
conversation  stretched  into  an 
extended  interview.  Her  habit  of  care- 
ful and  deliberate  enunciation,  and 
the  clarity  of  her  thought  and 
language,  produced  for  our  archive  a 
tape  in  which  every  word  comes 
through  clearly. 

We  found  our  interviewee  more 
eager  to  talk  about  her  husband  than 
about  herself,  thus  providing  a  vivid 
characterization  of  one  of  the  Col- 
lege's earliest  faculty  members. 
Robert  A.  Merritt,  Sr.,  won  his  A.B. 
degree  and  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  key  at 
Chapel  Hill  with  the  Class  of  1902, 
and  was  soon  thereafter  appointed  as 
superintendent  of  schools  at 
Smithfield.  It  was  there  that  he  met 
Mabel  Coltrane,  who  had  completed 
her  undergraduate  training  at  Greens- 
boro College,  with  the  Class  of  1903, 
and  whom  he  subsequently  married. 

Invited  to  join  the  faculty  of  the 
training  school  of  the  new 
"Normal,"  Robert  Merritt  arrived  on 
the  Greensboro  campus  in  1906,  little 


knowing  that  Dr.  Mclver  would,  only 
a  few  weeks  later,  be  dead.  Merritt 
was  made  principal  of  the  training 
school  under  the  supervision  of  J.  T. 
Matheson,  its  superintendent. 

Before  long,  in  addition  to  acting 
as  principal  of  the  practice  school, 
Merritt  was  also  teaching  one  or  two 
psychology  courses  in  the  general  col- 
lege program,  courses  formerly 
taught  by  Julius  Foust.  Summer  ses- 
sions at  Columbia  University  added 
further  to  his  competence  in  educa- 
tional psychology,  but  by  1913-1914 
his  health  began  to  falter;  by  1916, 
the  tuberculosis,  that  took  his  life 
when  he  was  only  41,  forced  him  to 
withdraw  from  active  service. 

Mrs.  Merritt  herself  was  a  Metho- 
dist minister's  daughter,  one  of  six 
children  whose  parents  were  deter- 
mined that  all  of  them  secure  a  col- 
lege education.  Like  all  children  of 
Methodist  preachers,  Mabel  was 
shunted  from  school  to  school, 
typically  modest,  short-session,  one 
or  two-room  affairs;  but  her  second- 
ary schooling  —  as  was  true  of  so 


many  of  the  Normal's  first  gener- 
ations of  students  —  was  acquired  at 
an  "Institute,"  a  private,  academy- 
type  institution  of  the  sort  that  was 
common  in  the  days  before  free  tax- 
supported,  public  high  schools 
became  the  rule.  Mabel  was  so  thor- 
oughly "prepared"  by  her  Institute  in 
Roxboro  that  she  was  granted  ad- 
vanced standing  when  she  was  admit- 
ted to  Greensboro  College  in  1901. 

The  Normal  had  not  yet  come  to  be 
regarded  as  a  college  of  choice  for 
Methodist  preachers'  daughters,  so 
long  as  there  was  space  at  "GFC," 
Greensboro  Female  College.  Mrs. 
Merritt  acknowledged  (the  Normal) 
was  a  good  school,  "but  the  elite 
went  to  schools  like  G.C.  although  it 
was  cheaper  to  come  to  the  Normal 
.  .  .  When  I  was  at  Greensboro  Col- 
lege, there  were  a  great  many  who 
were  there  for  the  'finishing';  but 
many  did  not  stick  to  the  course  and 
graduate." 

Recalling  her  days  as  a  young 
faculty  wife,  and  even  as  a  student  at 
GFC,  Mrs.  Merritt  remembers  that  a 


The  land  for  the  Merritt  home  on 
Spring  Garden  Street  was  pur- 
chased from  E.  J.  Forney,  who 
was  secretary  to  President 
Mclver,  head  of  the  Commercial 
Department  and  treasurer. 
Shown  here  in  1894  Is  Mr.  Forney, 
undoubtedly  an  unforgettable 
character.  When  he  died  In  1948, 
one  tribute  described  him  thus: 
"His  very  walk,  the  sparkle  In  his 
eyes,  his  lively  sense  of  humor, 
his  Insatiable  curiosity  of  mind, 
his  Indefatigable  energy,  enliv- 
ened those  who  responded  to  his 
enthuslasnn,  commanded  the  ad- 
miration (and  despair)  of  his 
colleagues,  and  frightened,  no 
doubt,  many  a  student  when  she 
first  met  him  In  class." 


An  interview  with  Mabel  Merritt 

whose  nnemory  of  the  college  community 

dates  back  three-quarters  of  a  century. 


substantial  number  of  girls  from 
families  in  very  modest  financial  cir- 
cumstances were  enabled  to  attend 
the  Normal  because  of  its  spartan 
schedule  of  expenses,  its  aggressively 
fostered  opportunities  for  self-help 
jobs,  and,  above  all,  by  the  State's 
program  of  subsidizing  students  who 
promised  to  teach  in  the  state's  public 
schools  upon  graduation.  She  con- 
firms also  the  recollection  of  other 
college  students  of  her  generation 
that  the  strongly  democratic  flavor  of 
the  campus,  its  emphasis  on  service, 
and  its  irreverent  skepticism  about 
the  value  of  putting  social  graces 
above  no-nonsense  liberal  arts  train- 
ing were  magnets  that  many  students 
and  a  growing  number  of  parents 
found  hard  to  resist. 

Mabel  Merritt  had  many  friends  on 
the  faculty  and  staff,  not  the  least  of 
whom  was  Mrs.  Charles  D.  Mclver 
who  continued  to  make  her  home  in 
the  old  Mclver  residence  (just  outside 
the  college  entrance  at  the  head  of 
College  Drive)  until  her  death  in 
1944.  By  the  time  of  her  own  retire- 
ment as  a  public  school  principal  in 
1950,  Mrs.  Merritt  had,  I  suppose, 
lived  longer  in  the  immediate  college 
community  than  anyone  else  in  the 
institution's  history;  and,  of  course, 
it  is  certainly  true  now,  when  she 
must  be  considered  one  of  the  richest 
sources  of  the  school's  earliest  mem- 
ories. 

Her  home  on  Spring  Garden  Street 
is  hard  by  UNC-G's  west  boundary. 
The  street  was  in  fact  known  earlier 
as  White  Street,  but  was  renamed 
Spring  Garden  for  the  series  of 
remarkable  fresh  water  underground 
springs  along  its  route.  One  of  the 
finest  of  the  springs  bubbles  up  on  the 
lot  on  which  the  Merritts  built  their 
home  in  1908.  They  had  bought  the 
plot  from  Professor  E.  J.  Forney. 
Forney  was  so  fond  of  the  spring 
water  there  that  the  instrument  of  sale 
to    the    Merritts    reserved    him    full 


A  la>()rite  place  for  the  Merrilt  b()>'.  lo  pla>  was  the  college  dairy  barn,  located  tirsr  on  the  sile  of 
Rosenthal  Gym;  then  as  (he  college  grew,  it  was  moved  to  where  the  Log  Cabin  stands  on  Walker 
Avenue.  Just  before  the  outbreak  of  World  War  I,  a  250-acre  dairy  farm  (the  barn  is  shown  above) 
was  purchased  on  Friendly  Road  west  of  Guilford  College.  The  college  kept  the  farm  until  1945 
when  it  was  auctioned  off  because  of  the  difficulty  of  getting  labor  and  the  high  cost  of  feed. 


rights  to  the  water;  thus  provided,  he 
piped  the  water  upward  into  the  attic 
of  his  own  house  nearby.  By  inaug- 
urating this  gravity-fed  system  in  his 
home,  Forney  was  among  the  first  in 
the  area  to  enjoy  running  water,  for 
at  that  time  the  Forney  and  Merritt 
lots  lay  outside  the  city  limits  and  did 
not  receive  water  and  sewer  service. 
Indeed,  the  city  limits  until  about 
1920  were  in  part  defined  by  a  line 
running  north  up  College  Avenue,  so 
that  the  Old  Main  (now  Foust 
Building)  was  inside  the  city,  while 
the  Students  Building  and  Spencer 
Dormitory  lay  outside. 

The  city  trolley  lines  ran  up  and 
down  Spring  Garden,  reaching  out  to 
Pomona,  and  cars  were  switched 
directly  in  front  of  the  Merritt  place, 
a  circumstance  that  the  motormen 
improved  on  hot  days  by  a  quick  stop 
at  the  Merritt's  spring  for  a  refreshing 
drink.  The  trolley  cars  were  typically 


of  the  windowed  variety,  but  some 
were  entirely  open  to  the  summer's 
breeze  as  passengers  sat  on  long 
benches  that  ran  lengthwise  the  car. 
Shortly  after  her  husband's  death, 
Mrs.  Merritt  began  her  32  years  as 
principal  of  the  Pomona  Mills  (later 
Hunter)  School.  It  was  a  county 
school  in  those  days,  but  conveniently 
accessible,  thanks  to  the  trolley. 
During  her  years  at  the  Pomona 
school  her  ties  with  the  College  were 
reinforced  by  the  annual  summer  ses- 
sions —  no  less  than  12  of  them  — 
she  attended  to  add  to  her  credentials 
as  a  master  teacher.  To  her  chagrin, 
she  never  completed  all  of  the  re- 
quirements for  the  master's  degree, 
because  of  the  stipulation  that  a  por- 
tion of  the  program  be  taken  "in  resi- 
dence." In  her  case,  this  was  un- 
thinkable so  long  as  she  was  needed  at 
home  to  look  after  the  house  and  her 
growing    boys.    She    recalls    with    a 


chuckle  that  the  campus  swarmed 
with  teachers  in  those  early  summer 
sessions  because  the  Greensboro  cam- 
pus was  almost  universally  regarded 
as  a  sort  of  West  Point  for  the  train- 
ing of  the  state's  teaching  corps. 
Mrs.     Merritt     recalls     that     the 


Some  of  the  consumers,  the  Merritts 
among  them,  kept  the  milk  cans  cool- 
ing in  the  spring-fed  "branch"  in  the 
Spring  Garden  area. 

A  large  dairy  barn  surrounded  by 
pasture  stood  on  the  present  site  of 
Mary  Howard  Shaw  Dormitory  until 


President  Mclver  died  shortly  after  Robert  Merritt  joined  the  faculty  of  State  Normal  and  Industrial 
College,  but  Mrs.  Mclver  remained  a  lifetime  friend.  She  lived  in  the  President's  House  at  the  corner 
of  College  Avenue  and  Spring  Garden  Street  until  her  death  in  1944.  Here  she  is  shown  (second  from 
right)  with  her  art  class  at  Peace  Institute  in  Raleigh  where  she  and  Dr.  Mclver  taught  while  he  was 
campaigning  in  the  legislature  for  a  stale  normal  school  for  girls. 


Normal's  pride  in  its  role  as  the 
State's  chief  producer  of  teachers  also 
took  the  form  of  hostility  to  sugges- 
tions that  other  teacher  training  insti- 
tutions be  created  elsewhere  (particu- 
larly the  Eastern  Carolina  Teachers 
College).  "The  Normal  didn't  much 
want  to  see  such  a  school  at  Green- 
ville. They  thought  it  might  take  away 
some  of  our  students." 

Modern  denizens  of  the  campus  are 
occasionally  surprised  to  hear  that  as 
late  as  1920  the  street  now  called 
Aycock  was  still  referred  to  as  Dairy 
Street.  It  was  so  named  because  of  the 
College's  splendid  dairy  barn  and 
herds,  which  supplied  enough  milk 
for  the  whole  college  population  with 
a  surplus  from  which  sales  were  made 
to  surrounding  households  as  well. 


it  was  replaced  by  one  a  little  farther 
west.  This  barn  too  was  succeeded  by 
a  still  larger  one  which  the  school 
operated  near  the  Guilford  College 
community.  When  it  was  still  on  the 
campus  grounds,  the  dairy  farm  with 
its  herds  of  cows,  its  horses,  and  a 
large  pigeon  loft,  was  a  favorite  place 
for  the  Merritt  boys  to  visit. 

Behind  the  range  of  buildings  that 
were  now  filling  the  west  side  of 
College  Avenue,  beginning  with  the 
frame  Mclver  residence  in  which  the 
widow  of  the  Founder  lived  out  her 
long  life,  the  landscape  was 
dominated  by  woodland,  pasture  and 
open  fields,  and  the  casual  stroller 
walking  westward  to  Dairy  Street 
found  himself  suddenly  and  literally 
out  in  the  country. 


Mrs.  Mabel  Merritt 

The  Merritt  children,  like  their 
parents,  were  close  to  the  campus  in 
many  ways.  Young  Robert  and 
brother  Fred  were  mascots  of  senior 
classes  in  1907  and  1910.  Their  little 
sister,  who  died  in  childhood,  was 
also  a  mascot  in  1915. 

The  early  campus  also  had  attrac- 
tions for  adults  —  or  at  least,  some 
adults.  The  Students  Building,  built 
in  1904,  provided  the  auditorium  for 
outside  lecturers  and  entertainers,  for 
both  town  and  gown.  The  concert 
season  included  occasional  opera 
companies,  working  under  rather 
severe  limitations,  including,  she 
thinks,  an  underdeveloped  taste  for 
that  sort  of  thing  among  the  Greens- 
boro citizenry.  Once  when  she  came 
late  to  a  performance  and  couldn't 
find  a  seat,  A.J.  Angle  motioned  her 
to  come  and  take  his  place  (presum- 
ably beside  Mrs.  Angle).  Mrs.  Merritt 
politely  but  firmly  demurred,  until  his 
insistence  made  her  realize  that  he 
was  eager  to  make  his  escape.  Early  in 
the  performance,  one  of  the  heavies 
in  the  cast  bellowed  so  loud  the  audi- 
ence was  nervously  startled;  but  after 
he  sat  down,  the  evening  progressed 
more  smoothly.  But  there  could  be  no 
doubt  that  Mr.  Angle  "was  only  too 
happy  about  the  chance  to  get  away." 

She  recalls  that  downtown  Greens- 
boro in  those  years  was  "a  very  pretty 
place,"  and  a  busy  one,  where  one  of 
the  most  familiar  sights  was  the 
drummers,  breezing  into  town  on  the 
train,  swinging  off  the  cars  with  their 
sample  cases  at  the  railway  station, 
then  crowding  into  the  trolleys  and 
fanning  out  to  the  hotels  and 
wherever  it  was  that  these  bustling 


10 


mercantile  princelings  gathered. 

And  she  remembers  too  some  of 
the  great  campus  personalities  of 
those  early  years.  Miss  Kirkland,  she 
says,  "made  those  girls  walk  a 
straight  line,  but  she  did  have  a  good 
effect  on  them.  They  didn't  have  any 
goings  on." 

Her  favorite  word  for  Charles 
Mclver  is  "enthusiastic,"  although 
she  only  got  to  know  him  in  the  few 
weeks  before  his  death.  Her  strongest 
memories,  however,  are  of  Mclver's 
successor,  Julius  Foust,  whom  she 
considers  Mclver's  equal,  although  a 
very  different  sort  of  man.  A  fierce 
promoter  of  the  college's  interests. 
Dr.  Foust  disclosed  in  his  report  for 
the  1912-14  biennium  that  in  the  first 
22  years,  the  Normal  had  graduated 
717  women,  of  whom  all  but  33  were 
teaching  or  had  taught  in  the  State's 
public  schools.  In  the  same  report,  he 
records  that  in  the  first  two  decades, 
more  than  half  of  all  the  students 
enrolled  were  the  daughters  of  farm- 
ers, and  that  throughout  the  period 
more  than  half  of  the  enrollment  was 
accounted  for  by  students  "who 
according  to  their  own  statements 
would  not  have  been  able  to  attend 
any  other  North  Carolina  college." 

The  state  was  obviously  reapmg  a 
rich  reward  from  the  policy  of  remit- 
ting tuition  charges  for  students  at  the 
Normal  who  promised  to  teach  after 
graduation.  But  that  generous  and 
far-sighted  measure  was  not  without 
its  own  problems:  Dr.  Foust  pointed 
out  in  his  reports  that  a  student  body 
so  democratically  recruited  brought 
in  almost  no  tuition  revenues  for  the 
school,  a  severe  strain  on  the  budget 
which  the  General  Assembly  did  not 
always  fully  compensate  from  other 
resources. 

Foust,  she  says,  didn't  show  his 
enthusiasm  like  Dr.  Mclver,  but  he 
was  steady,  and  he  was  very  capable. 
He  did  a  lot  for  that  college.  And  he 
stayed  longer  than  anybody  else."

Alumni  at  State  Capitol 


The  State  Capitol  became  a  class- 
room for  approximately  100  alumni 
on  November  8  when  Wake  County 
alumni  sponsored  "Another  History 
Class  with  Dr.  Richard  Bardolph." 
Dr.  Bardolph,  an  emeritus  professor 
of  history,  was  assisted  in  his  presen- 
tation by  two  experts  in  the  field, 
John  Sanders  of  UNC-CH's  Institute 
of  Government,  who  is  writing  a 
book  about  the  State  Capitol,  and 
Ray  Beck  MA  '77,  the  Capitol's  full- 
time  historian-researcher  under  the 
aegis  of  the  Department  of  Archives 
and  History. 

Constructed  between  1833  and  1840, 
the  State  Capitol  is  one  of  the  finest 
examples  of  Greek  revival  architec- 
ture in  the  nation  and  the  only  surviv- 
ing State  Capitol  designed  by  New 
York  architect  Alexander  Jackson 
Davis.  It  housed  the  entire  state 
government  from  1840-88,  provided 
chambers  for  the  legislature  until 
1961,  and  now  serves  as  offices  for 
the  Governor  and  Secretary  of  State. 

In  the  top  photo  at  left,  Ray  Beck 
describes  how  research  is  helping  to 
restore  historic  halls  and  chambers  to 
the  way  they  looked  when  first  deco- 
rated in  the  mid-nineteenth  century.

No  Taste  for  Waste  —  Dr.  Pattie 
Groves  '14,  known  as  "Dr.  Pattie"  to 
half  a  century  of  students  at  Mount 
Holyoke  College,  gained  fame  anew 
in  December  when  she  was  recognized 
for  collecting  her  75th  ton  of  news- 
print for  recycling  in  South  Hadley, 
Massachusetts. 

"I  just  can't  stand  waste,"  says  the 
tiny,  white-haired  doctor  who  re- 
ceived $1  per  hundred  pounds  for  the 
newsprint.  "And  I  like  to  think  I've 
saved  over  a  thousand  trees." 

Dr.  Pattie  has  not  lost  her  soft 
southern  accent  although  she  has  not 
returned  to  the  state  of  her  birth  in 
many  years.  "I  lived  all  over  eastern 
North  Carolina.  My  father  was  a 
Methodist  circuit  rider,  so  we  lived  in 
all  sorts  of  places." 

She  received  her  medical  degree 
from  the  Women's  College  of  Medi- 
cine in  Philadelphia,  later  joining  the 


From  Books  to  Roots  —  Edith  Clark 
'30  has  always  been  a  history  buff,  an 
interest  she  easily  pursued  as  Director 
of  the  Rowan  Public  Library  for  36 
years.  Twenty-five  years  ago  she 
became  a  genealogical  buff  as  well 
when  Mrs.  J.  Frank  McCubbin's  gen- 
ealogical papers  were  given  to  the 
library.  Recognizing  the  value  of  the 
150,000-item  collection,  which  arriv- 
ed in  scores  of  shoe  and  hosiery 
boxes,  she  contacted  the  Mormons  of 
the  Church  of  the  Latter  Day  Saints 
in  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah,  whose  gen- 
ealogical collection  has  gained  world 
fame.  A  photographer  was  dispatch- 
ed to  Salisbury,  and  after  examining 
the  collection,  he  declared  it  the  most 
outstanding  he  had  seen  in  a  quarter 
of  a  century.  The  Mormons  employed 
cataloguers  to  alphabetize  the  docu- 
ments, then  spent  several  months  put- 
ting them  on  microfilm,  copies  of 
which  were  purchased  by  the  Library 
of  Congress,  the  New  York  Public 
Library  and  others.

Holyoke  where  she  remained  until  her 
retirement  in  1960  as  Director  of 
Health  Services.  The  same  year  the 
campus  health  center  was  named  in 
her  honor. 

Her  interest  in  collecting  news- 
papers began  about  five  years  ago 
when  she  needed  a  small  sink.  "I  was 
told  the  junkyard  was  the  only  place 
to  find  one.  While  1  was  looking 
around  there,  1  saw  people  coming 
with  truckloads  of  old  papers.  I  de- 
cided that  w3s  something  I  could  do." 

Now  about  30  residents  regularly 
save  their  paper  for  Dr.  Pattie.  She 
tucks  the  papers  in  grocery  bags  and 
tosses  the  20-pound  bundles  vigor- 
ously. She  has  always  worked  alone, 
but  at  87  she  recognizes  she  may  not 
be  able  to  collect  many  more  years. 
"I  hope  1  will  be  able  to  get  someone 
else  interested.  It's  really  great  fun."

Meanwhile,  the  collection  grew. 
When  Archibald  Henderson  died,  his 
widow,  who  had  become  a  Clark 
friend,  gave  the  North  Carolina 
papers  of  the  famous  mathematician- 
historian.  As  genealogists  from  all 
parts  of  the  country  and  abroad  came 
to  Salisbury  to  use  the  collection, 
many  bequeathed  their  own  research 
in  appreciation  for  the  help  they 
received.  All  records  are  now  stored 
in  the  library's  Edith  Clark  History 
Room  where  Edith,  as  a  free  lance 
genealogist,  can  be  found  working 
almost  as  often  as  when  she  was 
Library  Director,  a  position  from 
which  she  has  twice  retired.  She  also 
is  on  call  to  teach  adult  genealogy 
classes  at  Davidson  Community  Col- 
lege and  at  the  Department  of 
Archives  and  History  in  Raleigh 
where  she  introduces  classrooms  of 
schoolchildren  to  the  exciting  pros- 
pect of  learning  history  by  tracing 
their  own  lineage  into  the  past.

Spartan 
Sports 


Women's  Basketball 

Led  by  the  shooting  of  Carol  Peschel, 
Michele  Blazevich  and  Jody  Mangus, 
the  Lady  Spartan  basketball  team 
chalked  up  a  5-1  won-loss  record  in 
their  first  six  contests  of  the  1981-82 
campaign. 

The  team  carried  a  perfect  2-0 
mark  in  Dixie  Conference  play  into 
the  Christmas  break  for  a  three-way 
tie  for  the  top  rung  of  the  league 
ladder.  Christopher  Newport  and  St. 
Andrews  were  also  2-0  going  into  the 
holidays. 

Peschel,  a  senior  forward  from 
Roanoke,  VA,  led  the  Lady  Spartans 
in  scoring  with  a  16.2  scoring  aver- 
age. She  turned  in  a  25-point  per- 
formance in  the  season-opening  vic- 
tory against  Ferrum  College  of 
Virginia.  In  addition,  Peschel,  who 
transferred  to  UNC-G  from  Roanoke 
College,  is  the  Lady  Spartans'  top  re- 
bounder  with  10.3  rebounds  a  game. 

Following  Peschel  in  scoring  for 
the  Lady  Spartans  are  Blazevich,  a 
sophomore  center  from  Sterling,  VA, 
with  a  13.8  average,  and  Mangus,  a 
junior  forward  from  Burlington,  NJ, 
at  12.8  ppg. 


Men's  Basketball 

Even  though  the  men's  basketball 
team  at  UNC-G  is  undergoing  a  re- 
building program  this  year,  the  Spar- 
tans compiled  a  respectable  record  in 
their  first  10  contests  prior  to  the 
Christmas  break. 

Led  by  the  shooting  and  rebound- 
ing of  6-6  junior  post  Kelvin  Huggins 
of  Green  Cove  Springs,  FL,  the  Spar- 
tans carried  a  6-4  overall  mark  and 
1-0  Dixie  Conference  record  into  the 
holidays. 

Huggins  is  averaging  13.3  points  a 
game  and  8.6  rebounds  per  outing  to 
lead  the  UNC-G  club.  Esker  Latum,  a 
6-2  junior  wing  from  Trenton,  NJ,  is 
the  squad's  second  leading  scorer  at 
12.5  ppg. 

The  Spartans  went  into  the  break 
with  three  straight  wins,  including  a 
118-94  victory  over  Thiel  College,  to 
set  a  new  school  scoring  record. 

Soccer  Winners 

Soccer  buffs  may  remember  1981  as  a 
vintage  year  for  Coach  Mike  Berti- 
celli  and  the  Spartan  footballers. 

Berticelli,  in  his  second  season  as 
head  soccer  coach,  was  named  South- 


ern Region  coach-of-the-year  by  the 
National  Soccer  Coaches  Association 
of  America  after  his  Spartans  turned 
in  a  best-ever  16-2-1  record,  captured 
the  Dixie  Conference  championship 
and  landed  a  berth  in  the  NCAA 
Division  III  tournament.  In  addition, 
Berticelli  was  named  Dixie  Con- 
ference coach-of-the-year  for  the 
second  consecutive  year. 

"I  attribute  my  winning  the  award 
to  the  coachability  of  my  players  on 
this  year's  squad,"  Berticelli  re- 
marked. "Anytime  you  have  ex- 
tremely coachable  athletes,  they're 
going  to  make  you  look  effective." 

In  his  two  seasons  as  head  soccer 
coach,  Berticelli  has  directed  the 
Spartans  to  a  28-5-4  overall  record. 

His  1981  squad  produced  the  best 
soccer  season  in  the  history  of  the 


UNC-G  program.  The  club  was 
ranked  fourth  in  the  NCAA  Division 
III  by  the  Intercollegiate  Soccer  Asso- 
ciation of  America.  It  won  the  Dixie 
Conference  crown  with  a  perfect 
6-0-0  record,  then  advanced  to  the 
finals  of  the  Division  III  South-New 
Jersey  regional  playoffs. 

The  conference  championship  and 
NCAA  post-season  appearance  were 
firsts  in  UNC-G's  history.

Planning  Update 


The  Planning  Council  is  one-and-a- 
half  years  old,  and  the  various  Task 
Groups  are  busily  pulling  together  the 
UNC-G  master  plan  which  the  Chan- 
cellor has  requested  by  the  end  of  the 
year. 

During  the  fall  semester,  question- 
naires were  sent  to  all  faculty,  to 
4,069  students,  and  to  1,000  random- 
ly selected  alumni.  The  results  are  in, 
and  analysis  of  the  data  is  underway. 

The  questions  were  wide-ranging, 
covering  the  academic,  social,  and 
cultural  life  of  UNC-G.  Students,  for 
example,  were  asked  whether  there  is 
too  much  or  too  little  social  activity 
on  campus.  One  question  for  students 
read,  "Less  than  half  of  the  budget  of 
the  concert  and  lecture  series  (UC/LS) 
comes  from  student  fees.  If  this  fund- 
ing were  not  available,  the  series 
would  need  to  be  severely  curtailed. 
Do  you  think  the  series  is  an  appro- 
priate use  of  student  fees?" 

Student  opinion  was  sought  on  the 
quality  of  their  classes  and  teachers 
and  on  services  as  Career  Planning 
and  Placement,  the  Counseling  Cen- 
ter, and  Jackson  Library.  Students 
were  also  asked  what  attracts  them  to 
UNC-G  —  the  low  cost,  specialized 
programs,  general  tone  of  the  cam- 
pus, the  practicality  of  attending 
UNC-G,  the  quality  of  learning  re- 
sources, or  perhaps  the  general  edu- 
cational climate. 

Similarly,  faculty  were  presented 
with  a  fill-in-the-blank  question  read- 
ing, "If  you  were  to  serve  on  a  Search 
Committee  seeking  to  attract  a  strong 
candidate  in  your  field  to  UNC-G, 
what  are  the  three  least  inviting 
aspects  you  perceive  that  a  prospec- 
tive new  faculty  member  should  know 
about?" 

One  question  to  faculty  was  about 
the  setting  of  cultural  events  on  cam- 
pus: "Concern  has  been  expressed 
about  lack  of  facilities  for  public  lec- 


tures, meetings,  and  receptions  on 
campus.  Some  faculty  members  be- 
lieve there  is  need  for  a  setting  that 
combines  auditorium  seating;  good 
acoustics;  audiovisual  facilities;  con- 
venient parking;  and  a  reception  area, 
easily  located  by  the  public.  To  what 
extent  do  you  believe  such  a  facility 
should  be  sought  by  the  University?" 

Faculty  were  also  asked  about  the 
emerging  technologies  important  to 
their  area  of  research  and  teaching, 
including  microcomputers,  word 
processing  and  videotape.  In  addi- 
tion, faculty  were  asked  to  rate  a 
variety  of  University  services  and 
facilities,  including  instructional  re- 
sources, Jackson  Library,  pedestrian 
and  vehicular  traffic  patterns,  and  the 
overall  appearance  of  campus  build- 
ings and  landscaping. 

Perhaps  the  most  difficult  question 
asked  of  students  and  faculty  alike 
was  this:  What  suggestions  do  you 
have  for  improving  the  financial  sup- 
port for  higher  education  today,  espe- 
cially at   UNC-G? 

Late  in  January,  the  Planning 
Council  made  available  a  revised 
statement  of  UNC-G  goals  which  will 
shape  final  recommendations  to  the 
Chancellor.  To  provide  faculty  and 
staff  an  opportunity  to  discuss  these 
goals  and  suggest  modifications,  a 
series  of  forums  were  held  on  campus 
in  late  January.  Student  input  was 
also  sought  in  similar  meetings. 

As  the  Council's  questioning, 
analyzing  and  discussing  enters  its 
final  year,  one  thing  is  for  certain  —  a 
sense  of  the  harsh  realities  pervades 
the  process.  As  Planning  Council 
chairperson  Jack  Bardon  and  vice 
chairperson  Gail  Hennis  wrote  in  the 
January  Planning  Process  Update, 
"No  longer  can  we  plan  with  the  hope 
that  increased  funding  will  be  avail- 
able. Rather,  we  must  determine  what 
we  can  do  with  less."

Low  Bids  Elate 

UNC-G  administrators  are  elated  at 
low  construction  bids  for  the  new  arts 
and  sciences  building  and  the  renova- 
tion of  Curry  Building. 

Amounting  to  $4.9  million,  the 
bids  are  well  within  the  $5.6  million 
construction  budget,  says  Vice  Chan- 
cellor for  Business  Affairs  Fred 
Drake.  "It's  a  pleasant  surprise.  This 
certainly  has  not  been  the  rule,  when 
you  consider  the  effects  of  inflation 
on  capital  projects."  The  low  bids 
should  enable  the  purchase  of  addi- 
tional equipment  for  the  buildings. 

The  three-story,  brick  arts  and 
sciences  building  will  be  erected  on 
the  southwest  corner  of  Highland 
Avenue  and  Spring  Garden  Street. 
Containing  54,750  square  feet  of 
floor  space,  the  facility  will  house 
classrooms,  research  space,  faculty 
offices  and  clinical  facilities  in 
speech,  speech  pathology,  and 
audiology  for  the  Department  of 
Communication  and  Theater. 

The  Curry  Building,  which  will 
undergo    extensive    renovation,    will 


continue  to  house  the  School  of 
Education. 

Construction  work  on  the  total 
$6.7  million  project  is  expected  to  be 
completed  during  the  fall  of  1983. 

For  Love  of  Mutt 

Friends  and  fellow  actors  who  have 
worked  with  W.  C.  "Mutt"  Burton 
over  the  past  50  years  are  invited  to  a 
reception  in  his  honor  on  Sunday, 
February  28,  in  the  Alumni  House. 

The  reception  will  follow  the  mati- 
nee performance  of  The  Man  Who 
Came  To  Dinner,  directed  by  Dr. 
Herman  Middleton,  who  is  organ- 
izing the  event.  "We  are  hoping  that 
everybody  who  worked  with  Mutt 
will  write  a  letter.  These  will  be  in- 
cluded in  a  leather  scrapbook  for 
presentation  following  the  opening 
performance  on  February  24,"  says 
Middleton. 

Letters  should  be  written  on  9Vi  x 
1 1  paper  and  sent  to  Tom  Behm, 
Director  of  the  Theatre  Division,  as 
soon  as  possible. 

There  is  no  count  of  how  many 
people  Mutt  has  worked  with  in 
theatre  over  the  years.  Mutt  will 
appear  in  the  title  role  of  Sheridan 
Whiteside  in  The  Man  Who  Came  To 
Dinner  which  will  open  February  24 
in  Aycock  Auditorium. 

UNC-G  Board  to  Meet

February  1 1 . 

Other  new  members  of  the  board 
expected  to  attend  the  meeting  are 
Michael  B.  Fleming,  Elynor  A. 
Williams,  and  Joanne  Kapnek  Blue- 
thenthal,  all  of  Greensboro,  and 
Edwin  B.  Yoder,  Jr.,  of  Alexandria, 
VA.  Elected  to  serve  with  Melvin  are 
Gladys  Strawn  Bullard  '39,  vice 
chairman,  and  Sidney  A.  Gayle  of 
High  Point,  secretary.

Campus  Dialect 

Alumni,  especially  Bamas  and  Space 
Cadets,  may  want  to  bring  an  inter- 
preter along  if  they  hope  to  find  out  if 
students  have  more  on  their  minds 
than  snaking  and  scoping. 

The  mainstay,  you  see,  is  campus 
dialect.  Recently,  Dr.  William  Cole- 
man (Anthropology)  had  his  class  on 
the  interaction  of  language  and  cul- 
ture compile  a  list  of  almost  500 
e.xamples  of  the  phenomenon.  The 
list  included: 

•  Bama,  a  person  behind  in  the 
styles; 

•  Space  Cadet,  a  person  who  is 
absent-minded  or  lacking  common 
sense; 

•  HDR,  a  heavy,  deep  and  real  heart- 
to-heart  talk; 

•  snaking  or  scoping,  looking  at 
members  of  the  opposite  sex; 

•  mainstay,  a  problem. 

"It's  not  slang  or  jargon,  it's  a 
dialect,"  says  Dr.  Coleman.  "You'll 
find  the  campus  dialect  here  similar 
to  that  spoken  at  other  schools."  The 
common  language,  he  says,  reflects 
the  common  experiences  shared  by 
college  students  across  the  nation. 

McCuiston  Retires 


UNC-G's  Dance  Division  will  host  the  Mid-Atlantic  and  Southeast 
Regional  Festival  of  the  American  College  Dance  Festival  Associ- 
ation March  18-21. 

This  year's  festival  is  being  organized  by  Dorothy  Berea  Silver, 
Anist-in-Residence  and  former  member  of  the  Martha  Graham 
Dance  Company.  Participating  guest  artists,  teachers,  and 
adjudicators  for  the  festival  include:  Gary  Masters,  Ellen  Kogan, 
Tandy  Beat  and  Company,  Don  Blumenfeld,  M'liss  Dorrance,  Jeff 
Duncan  and  Haruki  Fujimoto. 

Sally  Banes,  critic  and  author,  will  speak  on  "Evaluating 
Choreography:  Telling  the  Dance  from  the  Dancers,  "  at  the  open- 
ing session.  More  than  20  colleges  are  expected  to  participate. 


Tom  McCuiston,  supervisor  of  build- 
ings on  campus,  retired  December  31 
after  almost  a  quarter  of  a  century  of 
service  to  UNC-G. 

In   the   photograph    above   he   is 


shown  with  wife  Edna  at  a  retirement 
party  in  his  honor  in  the  Virginia 
Dare  Room  shortly  before  his  retire- 
ment. 

He  joined  the  staff  in  1957  as  a  car- 
penter and  subsequently  served  as 
supervisor  of  the  carpentry  shop  and 
later  as  supervisor  of  buildings. 

"Tom's  mark  will  be  here  for  quite 
some  time  after  we're  all  gone,"  said 
Davis  Lumpkin,  director  of  the  physi- 
cal plant.  "The  physical  plant  won't 
be  the  same  without  him." 

Enrollment  Update 

UNC-G  officials  say  the  slight  enroll- 
ment drop  from  last  fall's  10,390  to 
10,201  this  fall  will  not  affect  state 
financing.  However,  there  is  concern 
about  the  drop  in  the  number  of 
black  students,  from  1,077  last  fall  to 
1,045  this  fall. 

Most  of  this  drop  was  among  black 
graduate  students,  whose  number 
dropped  from  240  last  fall  to  207  this 
year.  Enrollment  of  black  freshmen 
was  actually  up,  from  197  to  201. 

The  UNC  system  has  set  a  black 
enrollment  goal  of  13.3  per  cent  for 
UNC-G  by  1986.  Black  students  now 
make  up  10.24  per  cent  of  the  student 
body,  compared  with  10.37  per  cent 
last  year. 

According  to  Chancellor  William 
Moran,  UNC-G  is  planning  ways  to 
attract  and  keep  more  black  students. 
Black  students  and  alumni  are  being 
asked  to  help  in  a  recruiting  effort  for 
top  scholars. 

Writers'  Choice 

The  Writers'  Choice,  an  anthology  of 
poetry  and  fiction  by  59  North  Caro- 
lina writers  is  out,  and  UNC-G  fac- 
ulty and  alumni  are  well  represented 
in  the  volume. 

The  book,  a  sequel  to  More  than 
Magnolias,  published  by  The  Greens- 
boro Group  in  1978,  includes  men 
writers,  which  the  first  volume  didn't. 


Faculty  represented  include  Linda 
Bragg,  Fred  Chappell,  and  David 
Rigsbee.  Former  faculty  include  Ann 
Deagon,  Evalyn  Gill.  Alumni  include 
Jim  Clark,  Kay  Leigh  Ferguson, 
Marianne  Gingher,  Doris  Hardie, 
Susan  Harman,  Ertelle  Martin,  Becke 
Roughton,  Stephen  Smith,  and 
Dorothy  Furr  Yount. 


Annual  Apathy 

There  was  a  time  when  the  arrival  of 
yearbooks  on  campus  was  like  Christ- 
mas in  spring.  Today  the  anticipation 
of  the  annual  inspires  little  more  than 
a  yawn. 

UNC-G  students  have  already  failed 
to  meet  two  self-imposed  deadlines 
for  subscriptions  to  1,000  books,  and 
if  that  number  is  not  met  by  early  in 
the  spring  semester,  the  Pine  Needles 
may  be  a  thing  of  the  past.  Fewer 
than  800  orders  have  been  received. 

The  cost  of  the  yearbook  is  a  major 
factor,  says  yearbook  editor  Made- 
leine Mulvihill,  who  was  coaxed  into 
editorship  when  she  learned  there 
would  be  no  annual  if  she  didn't  take 
the  job.  For  the  first  time,  the  cost  of 
the  book  is  not  included  in  the  activ- 
ity fee,  and  students  must  pay  an 
additional  $7  if  they  want  one. 

But  money  is  not  the  only  cause  of 
the  annual  apathy.  Last  year,  when 
the  cost  of  the  Pine  Needles  was  in- 
cluded in  the  activity  fee,  six  cases  of 
books  remained  unopened  because 
students  failed  to  claim  their  copies. 

Equally  important,  says  the  editor, 
half  of  UNC-G's  undergraduates  live 
off  campus,  and  she  doesn't  believe 
town  students  take  as  much  interest  in 
the  campus.  "I  feel  the  school  doesn't 
have  the  spirit." 

Of  course,  UNC-G  is  not  the  only 
campus  lacking  in  the  yearbook 
spirit.  Less  than  a  quarter  of  UNC- 
Chapel  Hill's  students  put  out  $13.50 
for  their  annual,  and  UNC-Charlotte 
has  canceled  its  book  for  this  year.

A  Strong  Voice 

(Continued  from  Page  3) 


instituted  the  Honor  Code,  which 
seemed  to  raise  the  expectations  for 
integrity  among  students." 

The  Sixties  presented  special  chal- 
lenges. Ann  Prince  Cuddy  (1963-64) 
recalls  her  era  as  "the  time  of  inte- 
gration of  the  'Corner.'  Although  the 
movie  theatre  had  been  integrated  the 
previous  year,  the  other  businesses 
did  not  serve  black  students.  I  per- 
sonally met  with  the  owner  of  the 
Apple  House  and  persuaded  him  to 
try  (for  a  short  period)  serving  black 
students  to  see  what  happened.  Of 
course,  nothing  did,  and  I  had  several 
cups  of  coffee  there  with  black  col- 
leagues after  that.  The  'trial  period' 
became  forever.  This  is  one  of  the 
achievements  of  which  I  am  proud  to 
have  been  a  part." 

She  regards  another  issue  during 
her  year  in  office  as  trivial  by  com- 
parison, "but  probably  more  volatile 
and  important  in  the  eyes  of  some 
students:  permission  to  stay  out  until 
1  a.m.  on  Saturday  night.  I  fought 
for  the  cause,  and  we  won.  (My 
mother  was  horrified;  I  had  to  be  in 
at  11  at  home!)" 

President  Kennedy  was  assassi- 
nated during  her  term  of  office.  "We 
were  able  to  pull  the  group  together 
on  a  Sunday  night  for  a  meaningful 
memorial  service  which  was  some- 
what cathartic.  People  were  ready  to 
go  back  to  class  and  'get  on  with  life' 
after  that." 

Randi  Bryant  Strutton  (1968-69) 
writes  that  her  presidency  concluded 
"four  rather  tumultous  years  at 
UNC-G  in  particular  and  in  the  coun- 
try and  the  world  in  general.  1  think 
SGA  succeeded  during  those  four 
years  in  awaking  a  large  number  of 
the  student  body  to  the  political, 
social  and  economic  realities  of  the 
time  and,  simultaneously,  freed  stu- 
dents of  many  social  restrictions  im- 
posed by  the  University."  During  this 
period  there  were  great  changes  in 
social  regulations  as  many  traditions 


were  discarded  such  as  class  organiza- 
tion. Class  Day,  the  daisy  chain,  class 
jackets,  etc. 

By  the  end  of  the  Seventies,  many 
of  the  battles  on  social  regulations 
and  restrictions  seemed  to  have  been 
fought  and  won.  That  presented  spe- 
cial problems  to  David  Payne 
(1979-80),  one  of  whose  chief  frustra- 
tions during  his  term  was  "the  pre- 
occupation of  the  Senate  with  enter- 
taining students.  Efforts  that  would 
involve  students  with  academic  issues 

—  HEW  vs  UNC,  for  example  — were 
viewed  as  a  noble  cause  but  received 
little  support.  Other  efforts  directed 
toward  the  problems  of  town  students 
were  also  given  scant  attention.  Too 
many  of  the  campus  leaders  were 
laboring  under  the  misconception 
that  the  campus  could  be  united  by  a 
bigger  and  better  beer  party." 

SG  in  The  Eighties 

So,  some  have  asked,  is  that  what 
SG  has  come  down  to  in  the  Eighties 

—  a  system  to  keep  students  enter- 
tained, not  a  channel  of  communi- 
cation or  self-governance?  Most  past 
SG  presidents  said  no.  "When  the 
shouting  and  the  tumult  are  over," 
said  Katherine  Sherrill  (1925-26),  "it 
is  my  strong  conviction  that  the  in- 
nate good  judgment  of  young  people 
will  emerge,  and  they  will  see  what 
self-government  really  means." 

Some,  however,  felt  SG  needs  to  be 
updated  in  the  Eighties.  Martha 
Fowler  McNair  (1948-49)  observed, 
"The  apathy  at  UNC-G  is  typical  of 
political  apathy  on  the  national  scene. 
I  do  not  know  anything  about  the 
present  SG  constitution,  but  I  wonder 
if  it  needs  to  be  updated.  The  fact 
that  UNC-G  is  both  a  commuter  uni- 
versity and  a  graduate  center  would 
tend  to  make  students  less  interested 
in  SG." 

Diana  Chatham  Calaway  (1954-55) 
put  it  even  stronger.  "It  seems  at  the 
moment  to  be  out  of  date.  Perhaps  it 


should  be  allowed  to  die  mercifully. 
When  it  is  needed  again,  I  am  confi- 
dent that  someone  will  resurrect  it." 

A  number  of  past  SG  presidents 
place  the  blame  on  both  students  and 
administrators.  "Much  of  the  success 
or  failure  of  SG  is,  I  think,  a  reflec- 
tion of  the  University's  adult  leader- 
ship. If  the  students  sense  that  SG  is 
only  tolerated,  rather  than  respected, 
abuse  of  one  kind  or  another  is  inevi- 
table." According  to  Robie  McFar- 
land  (1971-72),  "SG  should  be  an 
important  part  of  University  life,  if 
only  as  a  learning  experience.  How- 
ever, that  requires  active,  competent, 
constant  advisement  by  faculty /ad- 
ministration. I've  found  many  of  the 
skills  necessary  for  good  government 
to  be  a  lost  art.  I  think  administrators 
have  generally  'blown  it'  in  the  last 
decade  with  regard  to  motivation  and 
active  recruitment  of  leaders." 

One  of  the  strongest  statements 
about  administration's  responsibility 
for  the  direction  of  SG  came  from 
Emily  Herring  Wilson  (1960-61).  "As 
a  forum  for  the  expression  of  student 
opinion  and  as  a  mechanism  for  self- 
governing,  SG  should  exist.  It  is  no 
surprise  to  me,  however,  that  the  last 
ten  years  have  seen  a  dramatic  decline 
in  interest.  After  1963,  when 
Woman's  College  became  UNC-G, 
most  of  the  traditions  we  held  dear 
were  abandoned,  and  the  institution 
became,  in  my  mind,  another  con- 
glomeration heavy  with  graduate 
studies  and  faceless  in  its  identity.  We 
moved  from  being  one  of  the  best 
colleges  for  women  in  the  country  to 
being  another  state  university  top- 
heavy  with  male  vice-chancellors, 
commuting  students,  and  a  faculty 
which  itself  seems  to  me  to  have  little 
cohesive  sense  of  mission." 

She  feels  it  was  natural  that  SG  like 
other  campus  institutions  would 
decline  "because  the  leadership  of 
our  school  was  saying  in  most  ways 
that    undergraduate    residential    life

"There  is  no  greater  time  than  now  for 
the  marshalling  of  young  people  to  the 
cause  of  representative  government." 


was  an  old-fashioned  idea.  1  don't 
have  any  impression  that  the  Univer- 
sity cares  about  student  government, 
so  why  should  the  students  them- 
selves care?  ...  It  is  time  for  UNC-G 
to  fight  for  its  own  identity.  I  think 
the  administration  and  faculty  have 
to  provide  the  strong  example  to 
students  through  their  own  leader- 
ship .  .  ." 

On  the  other  hand,  some  past  SG 
presidents  felt  the  administration  was 
too  involved  in  SG.  According  to 
June  Rainey  Honeycutt  (1951-52), 
"SG  should  symbolize  self-govern- 
ment and  not  the  administration  set- 
ting all  rules  and  regulations.  Talk 
about  going  backwards!!  I  would 
hate  to  think  that  all  the  work,  sweat 
and  tears  that  past  presidents  have 
put  into  SG  (without  pay ! !)  have  been 
to  no  avail.  I  would  like  to  feel  proud 
about  SG  when  I  return  for  my  class 
reunion  in  1982." 

In  regard  to  paying  SG  officers  a 
salary,  Josephine  Hege  (1926-27)  says 
she  felt  student  government  was  dead 
"the  first  time  I  heard  they  were 
going  to  pay  them.  If  it's  not  an 
honor  and  a  duty  .  .  .  you  can't  pay 
people  for  some  things." 

Katherine  White  Williams  (1957-58) 
asked,  "Are  the  students  of  the  80s 
letting  the  administration  take  over? 
(Surely  not.)  How  could  UNC-G 
operate  without  strong  student  gov- 
ernment—  unless  SG  has  relinquished 
its  powers." 

Over  and  over  again,  past  presi- 
dents speculated  on  the  changing  mis- 
sion of  the  University,  wondering  if 
some  of  the  problems  with  SG  are  not 
indicative  of  a  UNC-G  in  transition. 
"It  seems  that  SG  is  basically  a  re- 
sponse to  the  needs  of  residential 
students,"  said  Bronna  Willis 
(1961-62).  "Commuters  have  a  need 
to  air  their  concerns,  their  needs  or 
ideas  to  the  college  or  university 
administration,  but  that  is  a  vastly 
different    need    than    the   residential 


students  have.  Thus,  it  seems  to  me 
that  on  a  heavily  commuting  campus, 
the  idea  of  one  government  represent- 
ing the  entire  student  body  is  not 
realistic." 

Training  For  Leadership 

There  was  much  disagreement  over 
the  notion  that  SG  provides  good 
training  for  future  leaders.  Most  past 
presidents  felt  the  role  of  SG  was  not 
future  directed  but  directed  at  the 
problems  on  campus  here  and  now. 
"The  role  of  SG  in  my  day  was  to 
create  an  atmosphere  of  what  was 
and  what  was  not  acceptable  be- 
havior," recalled  Betty  Sloan  IVIcAlis- 
ter  (1929-30).  "The  training  of  future 
leaders  as  a  reason  for  student  gov- 
ernment is  not  valid  to  my  way  of 
thinking."  , 

Lucy  Spinks  Keker  (1937-38)  be- 
lieves SG  is  essential  to  the  life  of  the 
campus  in  every  era.  "Such  an  organ- 
ization would  have  to  be  invented  if 
there  weren't  one!  A  campus  society, 
like  all  communities,  is  a  complex 
social  mechanism  in  which  the 
various  components  (students,  fac- 
ulty, administration)  have  a  common 
mission  but  different  vantage  points. 
There  must  be  representation  to  nego- 
tiate for  each  group.  Otherwise  you 
have  a  tight  little  society  regulated 
from  the  top  —  or  anarchy." 

Ruth  Clinard  (1928-29)  also  be- 
lieves student  government  is  increas- 
ingly important,  but  acknowledges 
that  it  should  be  reorganized  "in  view 
of  the  large  number  of  commuting 
and  graduate  students.  Otherwise, 
she  asks,  "Where  are  tomorrow's 
leaders  coming  from?  Where  is  the 
concern  for  the  common  good  com- 
ing from?  Not  only  does  a  strong  stu- 
dent government  need  to  be  made 
respected  and  effective  again,  but  the 
revival  of  class  organizations  should 
be  considered."  She  recalls  her  first 
leadership  role  as  a  class  officer.  "It 
fosters  an  esprit  and  love  of  one's 


Alma  Mater  which  has  made  our 
Alumni  Association  a  strong  organ- 
ization." 

Carol  Furey  Matney  (1962-63) 
regrets  that  SG  at  UNC-G  does  not 
reflect  the  changing  political  leader- 
ship of  American  society.  "There  are 
many  more  women  in  politics  today 
than  there  were  in  our  generation.  It 
is  very  disappointing  to  note  that  in 
this  last  election  there  was  only  one 
female  among  several  men.  Also, 
there  has  not  been  a  female  president 
since  1972." 

Betsy  Gilmore  Bell  (1969-70)  says 
students  in  the  Seventies  and  Eighties 
lack  an  issue  that  can  fill  SG  with 
enthusiasm.  "Students  these  days 
may  be  a  bit  lazy,  noncommital,  self- 
centered  and  disillusioned.  There  is 
no  cause,  be  it  on  campus,  in  the 
community,  or  nationally  that  chal- 
lenges the  majority  or  threatens  or 
angers  or  excites  them.  In  all  fairness 
to  the  student  of  the  late  70s  and  80s, 
any  student  any  time  tends  to  be  me- 
oriented  and  has  the  potential  to  be 
apathetic.  Today,  for  SG  to  survive  it 
needs  to  evolve  into  an  organization 
that  challenges  people  to  think  about 
relevant  issues." 

But  Emily  Wilson  says  there  is  an 
issue  —  self-governance  itself. 
"Clearly,  for  me,  SG  was  a  training 
exercise  for  future  leadership  as  well 
as  a  valuable  political  experience.  As 
I  am  writing  this,  Poland  is  in 
shackles,  and  I  think  of  how  impor- 
tant it  is  that  societies  everywhere 
fight  for  their  freedom  to  exist  and  to 
honor  the  individual  voices  raised  in 
protest  against  totalitarian  govern- 
ment. But  our  own  national  govern- 
ment today  sets  a  very  poor  example 
for  young  people  in  its  alliance  with 
monied  interests  and  in  its  shocking 
disregard  for  human  needs  and  serv- 
ices. There  is  no  greater  time  than 
now  for  the  marshalling  of  young 
people  to  the  cause  of  representative 
government."

Right  to  Read  — Elizabelh  Heller  Deity  '81  EdD  has  developed 
a  model  policy  for  schools  in  selecting  educational  material 
which  may  help  avoid  some  of  the  controversy  over  school

design  a  policy,  taking  into  account  academic  freedom, 
student  /parent  rights,  and  school  administration  authority.

Lucky  Breaks—  Two  years  ago,  David  Ledbetter  '77  had  never 
been  on  ice  skates.  Now  he  is  in  France  rehearsing  figure  eights 
with  International  Holiday  on  Ice.  All  of  this  at  age  33, 
considered  ancient  by  professional  ice  skating  standards.  It 
took  two  years  of  intensive  training  (during  which  he  broke  the 
same  leg  twice)  to  make  it.  When  he  finally  had  a  winning 
audition,  the  aspiring  actor  was  a  waiter  in  the  Hollywood 
Hyatt.  David  hopes  his  story  will  show  others  "all  you  have  to 
have  is  the  guts  to  reach  out  for  something  you  want.  "

Bach  to  Basics — Teaching  music  to  children,  according  to 
Trelles  Case  '78  EDD,  means  a  lot  more  than  leaching  the

child  feel  part  of  a  group.  It  can  help  develop  discipline, 
confidence  and  concentration.  With  this  outlook.  Dr.  Case, 
along  with  Rose  Mane  Cooper  76  PhD,  has  opened  a  pre- 
school at  West  Market  Street  United  Methodist  Church.  Called

In  Mennory  of  Heath 

The  Class  of  1935  has  presented  an 
antique  tray  to  the  Alumni  House  in 
memory  of  Heath  Long  Beckwith, 
who  served  as  Alumni  Class  President 
for  twenty-five  years  and  who  died  in 
1980. 

Plated  in  silver,  the  tray  is  English 
in  origin  and  octagonal  in  shape. 
Elegant  in  its  simplicity,  it  bears  a 
shield-like  decoration  in  the  center  in 
which  a  memorial  designation  has 
been  engraved.  Alice  Taylor  Stanley 
of  Greensboro  served  as  agent  for  her 
classmates  in  the  selection  of  the  tray 
which  is  a  beautiful  and  helpful  addi- 
tion to  the  Alumni  House's  collection 
of  serving  pieces.
