CONVOCATION The entire freshman class ot 198 . wearing white dresses walk to the Recital Hall. Girls call hello ' s to each other, sometimes getting names and faces contused. Many are wondering what Convocation is all about. As the organist begins to play, the girls become silent and turn to look toward the rear of the Recital Hall. The faculty enters, wearing their full academic regalia, an impressive sight. They listen to the inspiring words of the Convocation speaker and Dr. Frazier officially pronounces the academic year in session. As the student scholars are introduced, we learn the purpose of Convocation: the recognition of the academic leaders of the freshman class and the challenge from (acuity to make the coming academic year the best ever.

mmmmmmammmimma THE WRITING INSTITUTE Mail Call There is more to the Writing Institute than )ust writing. The concept of an intensive Summer Writing Institute was first mentioned by President S. David Frazier, who had read of a similar program at Bard College in New York. Dr. Frazier asked Dr. Sally Buckner, then Coordinator ol English Studies, if such a program might be possible at Peace. With the support ot the English faculty, Dr. Buckner planned and implemented the first Writing Institute in 1982. The first Writing Institute was a 13-day program that established the focus on intense writing that has prevailed until today. Students read and discuss essays, short stories, and articles on language, view and discuss films and video tapes, hear professional writers, write formal papers, journals, reading logs, attend concerts, and visit points of interest in the Triangle Area. Each year since 1982, the Writmg Institute has grown and flourished. It has become quite a tradition in itself Under the leadership of Dr. Janet Wester, Director, and Mrs. Judy Williams, Assistant Director, the traditions begun by Dr. Buckner have been preserved. 13
