Listening to the Radio at WUAG According to Stuart Smith, ttie Station Manager at WUAG, more people are listening to the campus radio station that ever before. When interviewed by the Pine Needles , he mentioned how gratifying it was to be able to walk down the halls of the dorms and hear WUAG being played. Yes, but what do the people who work there, who program the music for the campus, like to listen to on their own time? We talked to a few employees of the station and these are the answers we got. At least this time, Stuart was willing to name actual groups he listened to, which was more than we could get him to do when we profiled him. On my own time, I like to listen to the kind of stuff we play. I like mainstream progressive, new music before it gets the hell played out of it on Top 40 stations. I like constant music without commercials. But I don ' t have favorite artists. There are so many groups. Scott Carper, Junior, Broadcast Cinema Every station in this area has its place; I like to listen to all different types of music. Eari Thomas Connely, Robert Palmer, Thomas Dolby, Lone Justice, Phil Collins; it all depends upon my mood. Stuart Smith, Senior, Broadcast Cinema I like what everyone else here likes Kale Bush, O M.D., Debbie Harry, Shade, Fishbone, Til Tuesday, Wang Chung, Aha, the Flirts. I could go on for a long time. Roxanne Sumner, Freshman, Broadcast Performance Yeah, I like the kind of stuff Roxanne likes. Also, The Smiths-which I ' m glad to say, we ' re getting a lot of requests for.

The concert, put together each year to provide the university community with a chance to hear the university ' s con- cert groups and gamer support for the School of Music ' s many programs, was a resounding success. The first group to perform, the University Concert Band, was conducted by Mr. David Owens. The second group, the Univer- sity Wind Ensemble, was conducted by Dr. John Locke. It was a pleasant evening on the grass, with good music, said Dr. Locke. We look forward to doing it again next year. i f - 1 s •  i£i i m .- r- ; n u; ' ' ' 4-?3i;;, -. V.

Mclver Ages Well H ssaults on his metallic dignity have B been numerous. He ' s been painted H and costumed, decorated with wreaths K H and flowers and beer cans, dressed in B tunny hats and Halloween masks and j B ' ' ' ' ' ' ° ' ° ' ' ( P P ' ' - ' K keeps his peace and doesn ' t complain, K ■ which seems natural. Despite his uni- K H que fashion sense, most of us never notice him. When we do, we wonder one thing. Just who is Charlie Mclver, anyway? Charles Duncan twelver was the founder and first president of what was then known as the State Normal and Industrial School (yes, we were actually normal once) and later as the Women ' s College of the Univer- sity of North Carolina at Greensboro. One of those fiesty Scots visionaries so typical of the nineteenth century, Mclver was a lifelong proponent of universal public education. To this end, he wished to provide Higher Education, both liberal and practical, to the young women of North Carolina, in the hope that they could pass on this education in their future roles as teachers and mothers (the idea that they might have wanted it for them- selves was perhaps too radical for even a progressive like Mc- lver). His credo is chiseled onto the back of the bronze statue. People— not rocks and rivers and imaginary boundaries- make a state , and the state is great just in proportion as its people are educated. An identical monument stands on the capitol grounds in Raleigh. The two statues are the result of a drive that was begun shortly after Mclver ' s death in 1906. School children from all over the state donated their pennies to the drive. The UNCG statue cost $7,000 and was unveiled on October 5, 1912. For almost 50 years it stood in front of the old Mclver building; in 1959 it was moved to its present location in front of the library. If you think he looks abused now, you should have seen him in the past. It was the student body ' s insistence on decorating him with slogans and painted messages that lead the ad- ministration to install the Rock in front of the cafeteria, in the hopes that campus organizations would use it rather than con- tinue to treat their university ' s founder like a billboard. And so he stands, his stoney dignity intact despite the ravages of of time and fraternities. Despite the toilet paper, he looks very good for someone who ' s seventy-four years old. -Ian McDowell First Aid Draws National Attention UNCG drew quJe a bit o national media aKention in the Fall oil 986. The university was the subject of an Associated Press news story, a feature article in Rolling Stone, and broadcast segments ol The Today Show, 20 20, and The MacNeil Lebrer Report. This sudden lluny ol activity came about a result ol North Carolina ' s controversial new obscenity law. Whereas the previous version ol the law albwed for the exhibition or disseminalbn ol technically obscene materials if they were being used lor educational purposes, the revised statutes thai went into effect in October ol 1985 contained no such protec- tion lor institutions ol higher teaming. No one, as yet, has been prosecuted or threatened with prosecution, but several aoministrators and faculty members have ex- pressed concern that they might be vulnerable to any DA. who wished to set a prece- dent. In earty September ol 1986, an art exhibit by Chris Homey was temporarily removed from display in Elliott University Center due to tears that it might be obscene. Communications Department laculty members Dr. Thomas Tedlord and Anthony Fragola began to receive publicity lor the way in which they ' d lelt it necessary to revise their courses. Tedlord had decided, on the advice ol his lawyer, that his popular dass in Freedom of Speech and Censorship could not be taught at all under the existing legislation, white Fragola changed the subject ol an auteur film directors course from Bertolucd and Fellni to Tmffaut and Bunuel. Pteading a heavy workload, Tedlord managed to avoki rrrast ol the subsequent media spotlight. Fragola did not, and as the semester progressed, the media began to treat him as a reluctant spokesman lor the free-speech advocates who opposed the new law. On several oc- casions, reporters interrupted his dass in order to tape and interview Fragola and his students. Another person to receive increased media attention was UNCG senbr, Phil Mc- Caul, president of Citizens Against Censorship, a campus and community t ased or- ganization dedicated to educating the public about their first Amendment rights. Along with Fragola, McCaul was quoted prominently in University Under Rre, the now notorious artide that appeared in the September 25, 1 986 issue ol Rolling Stone. Although they were only now get ting major publidly, Cfeens Against Censorshp had been in existence since the Spring ol 1986, when it was founded by a group of students who had first learned of the law and Us possibte effects in Dr. Tedlord ' s dass. Their first major success that semester had been in staging a concert lor First Amendment Rghts, dutsbed first Aid, at the War Memorial Auditonum. One of the bands that performed there. The Graphic, later alerted Rolling Stone to the CA.C. ' s existence. According to Dan Pearson, the group ' s first president, the reporter doing the initial research was totally amazed to find out that there was grass roots and student- Isased resistance to this kind of tegislalion in North Carolina Apparently similar laws had been passed in other, supposed more progressive stales, but no similar or- ganizations had spnjng up to protest them. On September 25, 1986, the official oil-sale dale ol the issue containing the UNCG artide, first Aid, Revisited was held in EUC ' s Cone Ballroom. This lollow-up to the fund-raising concert ol the previous semester induded periormanoes by NRG, the Graphic, the Alkaphonics, and Standard Deviation, as well as speeches by Tedlord, lonner North Carolina A.C.L.U. olfidal George Gardner, and the Reverend Joe Chambers, one ol the most vocal proponents ol the new law. While attendance was not as high as some CA.C. members might have hoped, the concert brought the organization needed money and publicity CA.C. president McCaul brought them even more publicity that moming, when he appeared via live remote on NBC ' s Today Show. That is where things stand. The prosecutors and police officers charged with en- fordng the obscenity statutes seem less than eager to extend their tegal battles onto university territory, although it is njmored that some ol their supporters on the Chnstian Right would like to see them do so. Conversely, members ol the academic community have preferred to engage in seH-censoishp rattier than risk the prosecution to which they are technically vulnerabte if they exhibit certain matenals. The court cases thai could dedde the issue have yet to be lought. Eating in the Cafeteria We seldom love it, often hate it, al- ways complain about it. It doesn ' t do any good to have students from Chapel Hill or State or Podunk Community college tell us that, compared to their school cafeterias, the UNCG dining halls are palaces of culinary delight. Perhaps we were all spoiled by grow- ing up on home cooking: perhaps there ' s something in the intrinsic nature of a univer- sity dining service (or any other school facility) that will always cause students to complain. Not that everyone complains; student reac- tion to the dining halls covers a broad spectrum, though few actually rave about the place wherethey eat 14 or 21 meals a week. Some had their favorite dining rooms, some thought certain days of the week were better (or less bad) than others: everybody had their and least favorite dishes. About the only point consensus is that no one seems to have kind words for the turkey cutlet. Lonette Godfrey, Junior, Com- munications Major: I like the turkey pot pie and hate the green bean casserole. Ugh! Mondays are probably the worst for food. What I really like is the Make Your Own Sundaes. 1 usually eat in State, because 1 like the atmosphere and know most of the people there. Carla Smith. Senior, Fashion Merchan- dising Major: It ' s better now that they ' ve started the deli in Spencer. I don ' t know what my least favorite food is— the chicketti, or pork chop suey, maybe— the turkey cudet is always gross. Tacos and chicken sandwiches are the best. The food is usually okay on Wednesdays, bad on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 1 normally eat in State; it ' s got the right social atmosphere. Scott Brown. Graduate Student. Broadcasting Cinema Major: The tea is nice. 1 really like the tea. Beth Reynolds. Junior. Commiuiications and Public Relations Major: I eat here in North because all the Greek geeks eat in State. Cheryl Cothren. Sophomore, Undecided: I ' ve been eating here for about two years now. It hasn ' t changed much, though they have added the deli, which is nice. The beef stew on the biscuit is the most awful thing they serve here, or anywhere else, I ' m serious! The taco salads are the best. I dread eating here on Fridays because of the yucky fish. Monday is the best day to eat, I guess— there are fewer leftovers. Judy Gossman. Sophomore. Business Major: ' The food ' s okay, I guess. I like eating in State. All the really boss guys come here! Anne Abrams, Freshman, Psychology Major: It ' s not too bad here, considering how many people they have to cook for. I mean, my mom has only to cook for eight people and she screws up all the time. A lot of people bitch about the food here, but it ' s usually not too bad. In fact, for a school cafeteria, it ' s damn good! Except when they serve hideous, rotting burritoes that look like something you ' d find floating in a Tijuana sewer. James Morgan, Sophomore, History - Political Science Major: This places really stinks. Forty or fifty pounds of T.N.T. might improve it Cathy Brown, Junior, Marketing Management Major: I ' ve been eating here for going on three years now. I ' ve eaten in cafeterias in Alabama and southern Florida. Compared to them, this is gourmet food. I do prefer to eat in State because I like the people who go there. 1 guess you just have to make your dining experience a real experience. One good thing now is the deli— that ' s a big im- provement. Still, I wish they had more places on campus like the soda shop, where you could also use your meal card. And 1 do wish they ' d get rid of the turkey cutlet. It ' s pretty shabby. Frank Deal, Sophomore, History-Pre-Law Major: I ' ve eaten in other school ' s cafeterias. Some are better, some are worse. Davidson College ' s, for instance, is better than many real restaurants. SUll, I think having a con- tract with A.R.A. is just basically a bad idea. You get dirty silverware and pubic hairs in your steak and generally feel like a rat in a maze. Things could be improved. Dawn Mashwinter, Freshman, Dance Major: What 1 really hate is when they have a sign up telling you what something is sup- posed to be, but you ' d never know it from looking at the stuff. You just stare at it and go, ' oh, really ? ' I like it when they do the desert thing, though— the Make Your Own Sundae bit. Jeff Batchelor, Graduate Student, Theatrical Design Major: I eat here in Spen- cer when I just want to avoid everybody and be reclusive and have iny food and leave. The cafeteria really isn ' t so bad. Only two things actually disgust me: finding old slabs of beef stuck between two trays and staring at large jocks who ' ve shaved off all their hair except for this offensive looking cap of fur on top. Tlie dining experience would be better without them. Of course, they ' d probably say the same thing about me. -Ian McDowell The food ' s okay, I guess. I like eating in State. All the really boss guys come here! -Judy Gossman, Sophomore, Business ii!H 1 m- im m M t V Eighty-three years after its original dedication in 1904, North and South Spencer Halls were rededicated on October 1986 in a special ceremony on the front steps of the building ' s south wing. And while the buildings held the focus of the day, the Spencers ' legacy was as reflected in the spectators as it was in the brick and plaster of the structure. The parking lots round campus, on the day of the rededication, were filled with cars from as far away as Michigan, Maine, Oregon and Arizona that had carried former dorm residents to the occasion. Residence Halls Association President Ellen Bryant introduced Chancellor William Moran, who in turn introduced Richard Bardolph who gave the audience an introduction to the history of the halls and the woman they were named for; Cornelia Phillips Spencer. And while her virtues included, according to Bardolph, a strong committment to education as well as works as a poet, painter, and journalist, she was never what would be considered a ' feminist. ' Instead, Cornelia Spencer was an extremely intelligent woman who saw women as most people of her day saw women - as second class citizens who needed to learn the basic skills necessary for home life. However, Spencer was largely responsible for the opening of UNCG through her long time support of the idea of a school for the state ' s ' young women. ' If lives are to be judged by results, few can doubt that the woman whose portrait hangs in the dorm she gave her name to accomplished something very worthwhile. Residents of the Spencer Halls unveiled a plaque honoring the rededication of the halls that was later placed on the wall outside North Spencer as a permanent record of the day. Afterwards, hundreds of former residents of the halls were led on tours of the buildings, looking into their old rooms, and remembering days past. As one of them put it, I took a little of this place away with me when I left in 1938, and I see now I left a little of myself behind— in memories. The Comer is where I go most, for the birthday cards.

Tracey Stephens Freshman - Psychology and Pre-Med i 1 p 1 Jamison Jewels, ' 8 6- ' 87; what a year - what a group! As for me, this year in Jamison stirred latent tendencies of schizophrenia, with one side of me trying to guide and discipline the women and the other side loving and longing for the ir enthusiasm and freshness.

I have put it in this form in order to believe it; even this might not help: 7:00 pm: Audition for John Arnold for Flea in Her Ear. I ' m the first audition of the night. I got dressed up and the stupid stage in Taylor isn ' t finished so I got dust, etc. all over my clothes. John really liked my audition, or so he said. I ' m bound to get in this show, right? I ' m good at this form of comedy and I need a thesis and there ' s not a snowball ' s chance in Hell I ' ve got a role in A Chorus Line.. 7:10 pm: Leave Taylor, go to Aycock for no reason that I can think of. I ' m not going to get a role in this. I need the audition experience anyway, since they ' ll be doing that stuff that I can ' t do at all. That Solid Gold crap. Well, it isn ' t really crap; I just can ' t do it. 8:20-9:00 pm: Warm up and stretch to get ready to dance. The problem here is that we ' re going to be doing that Solid Gold crap I already mentioned and that always makes my body feel like I ' ve been through the Paris Island obstacle course twice. At least I know I won ' t be doing this for long. The other screwy thing is that most of these people are doing call-backs, which means they danced last night and know the combinations. This isn ' t going to be any fun at all. Tuesday, 26 August: What I ' m going to do is this-I ' m going to go sit under a tree somewhere and I ' m going to try and figure this place out. I mean really, the moon has turned to cheese, the seven seas have frozen, and Phil Collins had been elected President. I got cast. In A Chorus Line . I even got something close to a big role! This doesn ' t make sense. I ' ve only done one musical in my life. Wednesday, 3 Sept.: After a week of rehearsals, I ' m beginning to believe it might actually work. I might actually learn to sing. A bit. The first few rehearsals were all dance, and I guess I could dance for Frank Holder for the next ten years if he didn ' t kill me. I really like working for him, and I really like what he ' s doing with us. What he doing with us is primarily working us until we drop. I think I ' m going to set the world sweat record soon. Unless people are lying to me, which is possible, my singing actually sounds kind of all right. I can ' t believe I am doing this. Tuesday, 30 Sept.: This month is over and I can ' t believe it. I can ' t believe we open in one week. That really makes me nuts. We had a really screwed- up rehearsal tonight. We ran the opening just as we have every night for the last hundred years or so. Then the extra dances went home. It must be terribly frustrating for them. They get to Aycock before 7 p.m. and warm up and talk and sit through roll- call and announcements, the opening takes maybe six or seven minutes, and then they go home. Tuesday, 7 Oct.: Final dress. How bad could it be? It could easily have been worse, but the main problem is that is was so boring. I ' ve never seen so many tired people in my life. Everybody looked like death on legs. I forgot to hold up my resume picture at the top of the show. Unbelievable. My monologue felt all right but it was boring. I ' m still missing a lot of things. Chalk it all up to exhaustion. Get some rest for tomorrow. Wednesday, 8 Oct.: I ' m not sure how to deal with all the things that happened opening night. I ' m afraid to blink my eyes for fear I ' ll wake up and it will all go away. I ' m not sure if we should take seriously all that happened. But the fact remains that all 930 people in the audience, which is far and away the biggest house I ' ve ever seen at UNCG, stood up and gave us a standing ovation tonight. In six semesters here, I ' ve never seen a standing ovation. Not for anything, except Wynton Marsalis. Thursday, 9 Oct: This probably won ' t happen, but just for grins, let ' s pretend. After performing in front of the largest house I ' ve ever seen here, and getting the only standing ovation I ' ve ever seen here, tonight we had an even bigger house and they laughed even more than the people did last night. Everything I did, every take I tried, they ate up. This is wonderful. I ' m just going to do this for the rest of the semester and somebody else can write my thesis. - Mark D. March Homecoming UNCG ' s 1986 Homecoming weekend was a big success. Despite the rain, the parade had more floats entered into it than ever before. Once again, the Spartans were victorious, beating the Charleston, West Virginia Golden Eagles. So was Jilda Mathews, the International Students ' Association candidate for Homecoming Queen. For the first time at UNCG, the Homecoming Queen was given more tfianjust a trophy, as Ms. Mathews was flown to New York City for a shopping spree and a lunch at Top of the World in the World Trade Center For many, the real attraction of the weekend was the Bangles concert in Aycock Auditorium. Over 1600 people attended. Attendance was good at the dance in Cone Ballroom, too, where many students cut loose to the music of the Spongetones. Even the groundbreaking ceremony for the new physical activities plant drew its sfiare of onlookers. Fortunately, the steady drizzle did not wet the celebrants ' spirits. Only one event, the picnic in the quad, liad to be cancelled because of the rain. — Ian McDowell ia i We had excellent attendance at the concerts. During the parade, I was really pleased to see how elaborate some of the floats were— I hope that starts a trend. And I thought the fireworks were wondeifid—they made for a realJidy 4th in October! Bruce Michaels, Director, EUC went to the Homecoming Camival and I thought It was neat, with all the students getting together and actually doing something. The booth I liked the best was the one where you dribbled paint on a spinning piece of paper Lula Williams, Sophomore, Finance When they sang, they harmonized real well. They all have good voices. Their music has a distinctive sound of Its own. Bob Wood, Senior, Music ' The Bangles had a high- energy sound. It was good fun, seeing good music performed by good-looking women.

That ' s because we had a coherent strategy, while the opposition conducted their campaign like an Islamic Jihad. James Penny, Faculty Co- Advisor, SF3 I moderated the role-playing gaming tournament, which was a lot of fun. We ran a module based on t ie Dracula legend, which had a nice gothic mood. The medieval dinner went well, too; the food was the best we ' ve had at one yet. I wish I could say the same thing about the singing. Diane Case, Faculty Co-Advisor, SF3 wish I fiad the time to play games and fiave fun like those SF3 people do. It would be relaxing to wliack somebody over the head with a wooden sword, or fight some imaginary battles with dice and paper. If I could take out my hostilities that way, maybe I wouldn ' t hate my professors so much. Jamie Dunn, Senior, Economics Hexacon was one of our best gaming conventions so far. Some of it went even better tfian we ' d ever expected. Everybody liad a very good time. It was well organized. You should fuive seen the fun everyone had splashing each otlier with water balloons and shooting each otlier with dart guns. Juliette Hartel, Senior, Public Relations I was visiting a friend in Jamison wlien all these people came charging down towards tlie golf course, all dressed crazy and waving squirt guns and swords and stuff and yelling like the devil. I remember thinking, ' Gawd, we ' ve been invaded! ' Cindy Hartnell, Fresliman, Business The Residential College like the people here. It ' s more than just a dorm; it ' s a lifestyle. The Residential College is one oftlie things r II always remember about UNCC ' Scott Edelman, Junior, History The great thing about tlie Residential College is the atmosphere. Everything is intimate and geared to the individual, the mix of students is nice, too. Bridget Buchanan, Sophomore, Drama RC is like a small, private college inside a large public one. It ' s the best of both worlds. Suzy Long, Fresliman, Psychology I really liked the dance company concert. There was a lot of talent in it. Debbie Isom, Freshman, Dance M P9 L V. . k. 1 ■■■El V H IhH Not enough people realize how strong our dance program is here.

A: The Ginsu Weasels, of course! With a name like that, how could they lose? True to their namesake, they displayed cunning, tenacity, and sharp savage wit - aiid a certain musty odor. Q: Playing for a 30 point bonus (and rememober that you can confer on this), who are the Ginsu Weasels and where did they get that strange name? A: The team consisted of Ian McDowell (Code name: Common Black-Footed Ferret), aging graduate student and noted campus critic, Tim Blankenship (Code name: Skunk Badger), general surly crumudgeon, DawTi Ellen Nubel (Code name: Sea Otter), Pine Needles editor and team blonde, and Bill Snedden (Code name: Clawless River Otter), Shident Assembly Vice-President and future chairperson of Singing Lawyers Anonymous. Mark A. Corum (Code name: European Pole Cat), campus radical, served as alternate. About the name: Team captain Ian McDowell, being the dirty old man he is. turned in the name Scholars In Heat to Bruce Harshbarger, co-ordinator of College Bowl. Upon finding this out, McDowell ' s teammates threatened to alter his anatomy so he would never go into heat again. Consequently, and certainly logically, the name became Ginsu Weasels. Q: For another ten points, did the Ginsu Weasels loose a match? A: Certainly not! (Would you make a weasel mad?) However, in the last match of the university championship, the TKE Black Knights proved a difficult challenge and gave the Weasels a run for their money. In the end, daws, fangs, ginsu knives and musk glands prevailed. Q: For another ten points and the championship, to what do the Weasels attribute their success: 1) sheer dumb luck, 2) too much Trivial Pursuit, 3) five dollars slipped in Bruce ' s pocket before the match, or 4) the mysteries of DNA? A: All of the above! - DawTi Ellen Nubel and Ian McDowell (Weasels forever) Greek Speak I used to hate this place. My RA was an ADPi, so I rushed and wanted to be part of it. It was the friendship and the warmth that won me over. They were so sincere. Monica Crossley, Junior, Business Communications Alpha Delta Pi This may sound stupid, but all my best friends were Greeks. I wanted to become a part of things and have the closeness they had. It ' s something that keeps us together even though we ' re miles and miles apart. Diane Sappenfield, Senior, Child Development, Chi Omega Well, it ' s obvious; my organization provides a lot of opportunities to meet a lot of different people and to make a lot of good business contacts. Jeff Kinney, Senior, Management, Sigma Tau I have no idea why I joined. No, seriously, I guess I wanted to enjoy the social and athletic organization that I felt needed me, and the values and ideas that I have to live by.

I joined for the brotherhood. Lynn Maclntyre, Junior, Econ Finance, Lambda Chi I felt that an Alpha man is a man of distinction and that therefor it should be my quest to become an Alpha. Jamall Mack, Sophomore, Accounting, Alpha Phi Alpha I was personally very impressed with the brothers in the chapter. Then through learning the principles of what the fraternity stood for and meeting some prominent members, I became interested in pledging. Tim Thorpe, Junior, Business Management, Alpha Phi Alpha I wanted to meet more people and get more involved. It ' s hard for me to put it into words because we ' re more than just friends. It ' s a sisterhood. Darci Judkins, Junior, Bus- iness Management, Phi Mu I wanted to expand my opportunities and enrich my college life. Lisa Crowder, Junior, Political Science, Phi Mu Greek and loving it The Ladies of ABCA Alpha Kappa Alpha has been a major factor in my development as a person. I ' ve learned the know-how of what it takes to run an organization such as this. I ' ve learned to love, care for, and share with a group of women I never really knew before I came to this university. I ' ve learned to be humble by helping those in our society who are less fortunate. Service to all, and sisterhood-this is Alpha Kappa Alpha. Rosalind Stanbeck, Senior, Information Systems Dedication, sisterhood, service and love an Alpha Kappa Alpha lady had it all. It is the greatest joy in the world. Darlene Joyner, Senior, Nursing Sorority life is about the best thing that ' s happened to me me since I ' ve been here, because it ' s a whole bunch of girls who share just about everything like sisters in a family. Adrienne Wilson, Junior, Biology Major Renovations Begin on Campus Constojction began on two fronts on the UNCG campus ttiis fall. Thie long-planned renovations of thie cafeteria complex began in October with the closing of Spartan dining hall, the demolishing of the bridge and the subsequent wor1 on approximately half of the building. Then, in late October, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Physical Activities plant was held. Both projects should be completed in two years. The cafeteria project calls for the old bridge to be replaced by a tunnel which will bring students to the first floor of the dining complex. There, they will find a pizza shop, an ice cream parlor, and a bakery. Anew staircase will lead up to the second floor, where the present noisy, crowded separated dining halls will be replaced by one large seating area with atriums, a dropped ceiling, and wall-to-wall carpeting, all designed to reduce noise. The exterior of the complex will also get a face-lift, being turned into a amphitheatre with reflecting pools and lots of greenery. The new Physical Activities Complex will be the largest single building on campus, with approximately 355,000 square feet of floor space. It will house the schools of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, Dance, and the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. The project will include both construction and renovation of the existing Coleman and Rosenthal gymnasiums, and will have a brick exterior. For now, though students have to put up with reduced parking, noise, the sound of jack hammers in the cafeteria, mud pits, and what seem like miles of chain link fence. At least some of those who are currently here as freshmen and sophomores will be here to see it all change tor the better. - Ian McDowell Chuck Moyer on Renovations Chuck MoyGr has been working as the head of the UNCG dining service since the fall of 1 984. Previously, he had directed ARA operations at Florida State, the Univerisity of Monticello at Alabama, and L ambeth College in Tennessee. He ' s very pleased to be here. I like the school and the town and the students, all very much, he says with his characteristicgrin. Students sometimes complain about the food, but let ' s face it, it ' s hard to compete with mama ' s cooking. Sure, they get sick of eating at the same place three times a day, but that would be true no matter what. Any student who has eaten at any other college campus is bound to appreciate our food. We have it better than we might realize. He is very excitied about the upcoming reenovations. It ' s going to cause eighteen to nineteen months of inconvenience, but the results will be spectacular. Acorridorwill run through the middle of the cafeteria complex and Spencer dormitory. Along that passage will be an ice cream shop, a pizza parlor, a bakery, a deli, and a post office. One dining hall will operate on a cash basis, with everything bought seperately, the rest will run on the present board system. Everything inside will be remodeled and much more attractive. It will be a much nicer environment to eat and spend time in. When the facility is finished, it will be the best one in North Carolina, maybe the best one on the East Coast. ■Allison Brown UNCG Students Speak Out on Censorship ON Camp, .DIVERSITY It infuriates me that the General Assembly feels we aren ' t competent enough to make our own decisions. I love NC, but in some respects Oru ell ' s prediction was only one year off. Phil McCaul, Senior, English I tliink it ' s sad that our politicians haven ' t remained open-minded, that tJieyVe become so mixed-in with the con- servative flow and don ' t see how detrimen- tal tlaeir actions are to our education. Marty Gambill, Senior, Spanish In- ternational Studies My only feeling is that the people wlio ' ve written it and support it say they have no intention of coming after those of us in the university sector. That ' s good, but I wish they make changes on paper to support what they ' re saying verbally. In the meantime, I ' d support the Chancel- lor ' s statement that faculty members should teach as they always have. David Brown, Economics, Junior I think the law was hastily made and ill-advised and 1 don ' t feel the legislature ' s realized the full potential for damage they were creating. Matt Maimey, Junior, Communica- tions I ' m £ill for tlie obscenity law. We can ' t expose our children to naked people. They ' ll turn out to be rapists, or worse. In An Officer and a Gentleman, was it neces- sary to see Debra Winger and Richard Gere naked and having an orgasm? I think not. I wouldn ' t want my child to see that. Spencer Ramsey, Sophomore, Drama I think the law is obscene and a viola- tion of our rights. It ' s damn unAmcrican! ' Jennifer Johnson, Senior, Broadcast Cinema I have neutral views. I think it ' s good when it keeps people from inflicting pain on others and when it protects children. I think it ' s bad when it affects the arts or education in any way. Lyssa Sampson, Senior, English It ' s obscene. Abe Abrams, Sophomore, Nursing The Little Wonder of the Library The Bindery Donut Now the truth can be told about the world ' s oldest Dunkin Donut. In early November of 1980, there was an orientation session held in the Bindery Division of Jackson Library. Refreshments consisted of two dozen glazed and cake doughnuts, as well as coffee with milk and sugar. Some say it was finphobia (the fear of consuming the last of something) which caused a solitary doughnut to be left, coveted by all but untouched. Whether self- consciousness or superstition was to blame, no one will know. Forthe doughnut, it was fate. Around that time, the Bindery acquired an old stereo radio. Reception was quite bad in the basement, so, with sssthe aid of some old picture framing wire and some discarded metal binders, an antenna was rigged up to one of the overhead lights. To complete this jerry-rigged masterpiece, the last doughnut was added to one of the metal binders. The college radio station came in loud and clear. Although a store- bought antenna and later a ghetto blaster replaced the old stereo, the doughnut stayed on. Maybe it was sentimentality; maybe it was pure aesthetic choice, but the Binder Doughnut continued to hang on the ceiling as a beacon to wandering minds, forced by the absence of windows to gaze upwards. Visitors always noticed the suspended doughnut. Some would ask if it was real, but none ever asked why it was there. For five years in dangled from the binder, perfeclty preserved by white sugar, albeit in a somewhat shrunken and crystalized state. Then one day a student accidently knocked it from its perch. Everyone was astonished when it clinked on the floor like a piece of stoneware. It remained intact except for one small sliver that had chipped off. Some people mistakenly believe it to be the trace on an ancient nibble. Today, dozens of staff members, student assistants, and custodians make the pilgrimage into the basement of Jackson library to see for themselves and pay homage to this mysteriour talisman. One has to wonder about the recipe that could preserve such a perishable morsel as a doughnut in such a pristine state for all of eternity. Some say it was taken direclty from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Where did all the calories go? One thing is certain; no one will ever eat it now. (The Bindery Doughnut may be viewd Friday- Monday 8 a.m. to 4:55 p.m. The Bindery Boys are currently negotiating for a possible National Geographic Special tentatively titled Doughnuts in Captivity, to star Jane Goodall. And the doughnut, of course.) --Jack Stratton L ' Atophie De Dougnut Down in the bindery Hanging from the ceiling. There is a real doughnut Steadily congealing. Green and blue and fushia. Every kind of mold, Plus blue and gray sugar Caked round the hole. Surely, a slight lapse of judgement- Oh, we know they couldn ' t eat it. But for the safety of us all Why did they not treat it? -Jim Rogerson Art Department Celebrates 50th Anniversary The UNCG Art Department celebrated its fiftieth anniversary on October 3rd through October 5th of 1986- included in the program were lectures, museum tours, and exhibits featuring art by 75 alumni, 30 faculty members, and 25 students- Featured speakers included Perry T, Rathbone, the Senior Vice President of Christy ' s USA, the American branch of the famous London-based auction house; Dr. Albert Hurwitz, Head of the Art Education department of the College of Art at Baltimore ' s Maryland Institute: f aine landscape painter Neil Welliver; and Boston sculptor IVIarianna Pineda. Rathbone spoke before the public opening of the Alumni exhibition. On October 4th there was a panel discussion of What Makes an Artwork Art ' ' , which was extremely well attended. The lectures and exhibitions were free to all. There was a fee for the private receptions and the optional tours to Reynolda House in Winston-Salem and the N.C. Museum of Art in Raleigh. Art has been taught at this institution since it began life as the State Normal and industrial School in 1892. However, there was not an accredited Department of Art until 1 936. when Gregory Ivy was appointed its head and the department was empowered to offer a B. A. degree. Ivy resigned in 1961; Helen A. Thrush followed as Acting Head. Gilbert Carpenter succeeded her in 1963, only laterto resume full- time teaching and be replaced by Joan Gregory until 1985, when Dr. William Collins was appointed to succeed her. --Ian McDowell Lovie Peters Artist Lovie Peters is a success story. At the age of 42, she completed her B A. in Art at Randolph l acon Women ' s College. She received a Duiguid Fellowship in 1 984 which helped herfund her studies. She placed first in the 1 5-state art competition. She has studied in England, at the British l useum, and the Victoria and Albert IVIuseum. This museum experience has paid off well, and now she is in charge of the print room of the t aier Museum of Art at Randolph IVIacon Women ' s College, where she also teaches. Each week she makes the journey from Lynchburg, Virginia, to take art classes at UNCG. She leaves her husband and three children (all in their twenties) behind. She laughed, Well, sometimes I do come home to a dirty house! This IVIay she will exhibit her paintings in the annual Art Thesis show. She will show a series of landscapes. I want to explore the linear quality of the landscape, Lovie explained. I will do thin watercolor-- very delicate. They are described by a professor here as intimate paintings that require the viewerto come up and look. The English artists are Lovie ' s favorites, particularly Constable and Turner. She also admires the Bloomsbury and Camdentown groups and has a special interest in Vanessa Bell, Virginia Woolf ' s artist sister. Lovie is fascinated by color. I see color in a particular way. I think I like to take things and turn them around in my mind and see how they come out. It ' s a game. In my new paintings I see how pieces of landscapes fit together with color like puzzles. It ' s compelling. Other arts interest Lovie, especially writing, which she sees as a sister art to painting. Both require similar creative processes, she said. Lovie ' s future tx)lds graduating with her l l aster ' s in May, study at Christie ' s in London, a course in exhibition management at the Smithsonian, and painting landscapes in Italy. We just hope Weatherspoon buys her work now while they can still afford it! - Dawn Ellen Nubel Happy Birthday, Martin Luther King On Sunday. January 1 8 and Monday, January 19, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro celebrated the birthday of slam civil rights activist Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. with a series of programs entitled Living the Dream Let Freedom Ring Approphately enough, the theme of the programming was the evils of racism as it exists in the world today, particularly in the South African system of Apartheid The programming began on Sunday evening in Aycock auditorium, with a performance by comedian activist Dick Gregory A Martin Luther King Service Reception foll owed the performance at 1 p m in Sharpe Lounge On Monday morning, there was a ' Martin Luther King Kickotf ' on the Mossman Commons Area, with program of commenoration through song. Then at 1 1 a m, Kenneth Longmyer spoke in Alexander room on US foreign policy in regards to South Africa Two lectures followed Alexander room ; one by Dr Barbara Love on what she called internalized oppression in South Africa, and one by the Reverend Motlalepule Chabaku on daily life in that country Finally, two memtiers of the cast of Boesman and Lena , a play by South African playwright and activist Athol Fugard, spoke to the audience Bettina Shuford, the Assistant Dean of Students, was pleased by the programming. I think the university really took a stand in rememtsenng the dream For that, we ' re eternally grateful - Ian I Dowell When asked why he would want to serve a second term as Chairperson of the University Media Board, Gary Cerrito can only laugh. I ' m just crazy, I guess, or a glutton for punishment. Upon considering the question, his manner becomes more serious. I really felt, when I decided to run for a second term, that eight months had just not been enough time to accomplish what I set out to do. So I came back to finish what I started. Also, this gives me a second crack at some things I had originally planned for last year but wasnt able to do due to time constraints. Cerrito sees the adoption and implementation of the UMB ' s new operating procedures as the board ' s most important task. I think it will give the board a much clearer direction. In the past, especially last term, there was so much ambiguity due to the fact that we didn ' t have such a document. This document, once in place, will provide something that all new members, especially the chairperson, can look at to direct the board in the most positive manner. The function of the UMB is to oversee and advise the operations of the university media organizations, including The Carolinian, the Pine Needles, and the Coraddi, as well as, to a lesser degree, WUAG (the board approves the funding of the three publications, but not that of the radio station, which receives its finances elsewhere). Cerrito believes that the largest problem concerning the publications is a lack of continuity. Since I ' ve been in office, the longest time we ' ve had a Carolinian editor has been for one semester. Last year, all three publications saw a turnover in editors. That ' s not necessarily bad, of course, but it makes my job more difficult. Not that I ' m complaining. A junior at UNCG, Gary is majoring in Finance. He likes Italian food. Pink Fbyd, and reading- periodicals, mostly; I usually don ' t have the patience to sit down with a book, although I ' ll read almost anything having to do with business. He also likes to ride his bike and considers himself to be a dog rather than a cat person. He is a confirmed greek, and is proud of his involvement with TKE ; it ' s really a positive experience. Although Gary was born in New York, he has been a resident of Greensboro for the past ten years. Hedoesnl missthe Big Apple or regret living in the Triad. I think, for its size, Greensboro is a very nice place to live. It offers a great variety of things, just like a city like NYC can offer, if not of the same caliber. I really like it here. - Ian McDowell Gary Cerrito UMB Chairperson David Brown Student Government President David Brown, junior economics major and Student Government President, takes his job quite seriously. Basically, I feel that I have a lot to offer this university and student body. II a person has something to offer and can make a positive difference, then not only should do so, but have a very real obligation to do so. I felt like I could do an effective job as S.G, President. He defines that job as to represent the views of students in a variety of settings. I see S.G. as divided into three different areas. The function of the president is also so divided. The first area is self- government. There should be a place where students can interact and express their views. That ' s the first role, the one for which we ' ve been noted in the past. Secondly, there ' s the area of shared governance. We need to have a voice in student policy. I do that through my involvement in the board of trustees. Our success there has been mixed, but I think we ' re improving. Thirdly, I think, is student advocacy. This is my personal favorite. It ' s also where S.G. has perhaps fallen down a bit in the past. I ' ve been in Raleigh lobbying against tuition increases and in favor of funding for the removal of handicapped barriers. Once, I even went to Washington, and will go there again in February, to talk about financial aid and other problems students have been having. I ' ve met with Secretary Bennet and all but two of our congressmen. We ' ve already seen some concrete things passed from this. Originally from Yadkinville, David hasbeenatarheelall his life. He is a sports enthusiast, and likes to play tennis and basketball. He is a member of Pi Kappa Phi and of the Golden Chain. His favorite hangout is Burger King. I like the plain hamburger, the one with nothing on it, just burned meat. His favorite group is The Cars. I live for them. He also has afavorite animal. The elephant, of course, because It ' s a symbol of the Republican party. I wouldn ' t say I ' m a staunch Republican; I ' m a moderate one, conservative economically, liberal socially-a Camelot Republican. I think that educational spending is the key to the future. That ' s one issue I ' m not conservative on. It ' s an investment in something that really matters. ■Ian McDowell Mark A. Corum Coraddi Editor Mark A. Corum may be the only student in UNCG ' s history to have been editorof all three print media: the Coraddi. The Carolinian, and the Pine Needles. This year he brings his expertise in publications to the award- winning fine arls magazine, Coraddi. Mark is currently a student in the MFA program in Creative Writing. The main reason he entered the writing program was to study with Fred Chappell. Chappell is noted for his Appalachian fiction, and Mark is working on a novel set in the Blue Ridge mountains in North Carolina. Raised in Boone, NC, Mark feels a sense of past when I ' m way back in the mountains. This spring, an excerpt from his novel was published n Appalachian Heritage magazine. If there is one thing I think needs to be done most right here and now - it ' s recording the stories of the mountains: the oral history that is disappearing a little more each year, Mark said. Much of my research for stories is doing just that - but I ' d like to work on something on a larger scale. I remember my freshman year here, when I got people here at UNCG and up at Appalachian State to work together on recording something of mountain culture by interviewing mountain craftsmen, storytellers, and a man who spent his entire life studing the Appalachian culture - Gratis Williams. I had everything set and we were all ready to do it over Christmas break - then it snowed and they couldn ' t get up there to do it. Since that time, Cratis Williams has died, and at least two of the storytellers have as well. I think that ' s why it can ' t be put off any longer. Mark ' s favorite writer ' s are Walker Percy, Harlan Ellison, and Anton Chekov. This year he had the opportunity to meet one of them, when Ellison came to UNCG as part of the University Concert Lecture Series. It was weird. I was expecting an opinionated, nasty kind of person, but he turned out to be one of the nicest people I ' ve ever met. I guess I had read too many magazine articles about him. It ' s Coraddi ' s 90th anniversary and Mark plans to celebrate by publishing the biggest issue of the magazine ever produced. It will include an interview with Harlan Ellison, a section on Southern writers, the usual student and faculty contributions, and the results of the annual poetry, fiction, and photography competitions. Of all the media he has worked with, Mark likes the Coraddi the best. You can don about anything you please with it, except sometimes, when simple-minded people oversee it, like the Media Board sometimes does. When asked why he ran for the position of Corac y editor, Mark laughed. Why, three strikes and you ' re out! -Dawn Ellen Nubel Brigitte Schubert, President of the Panhellenic Council, explains her organization ' s function this way: We ' re a governing body. We make rules and make sure the sororities abide by them and buy the ajles of the national Panhellenic Council. There are six sororities involves. I ' m a memberof Alpha Chi Omega. This is the first year we ' ve been called this; in the past we were the Intersorority Council. Now we ' re nationally recognized, getting funding and speakers, and stronger backing from the national organization. An articulate and eager spokesperson for her group, Brigitte is a breeze to interview, anticipating questions before they can be asked. A couple of things I ' ve wanted to see happen during my term are starting some sort of Greek housing and adding a new sorority. A proposal has been written for the tiousing and we ' re working on the sorority. Still, we have a lot to do. She feels that sororities are on the rise at UNCG. We ' re growing in numbers and we ' re getting more and involved with the community and the faculty. We provide refreshments for faculty council meetings and are arranging a faculty Easter egg hunt for April. That may sound silly, but I ' m really interested in seeing more traditions like that get started here. UNCG needs more traditions. I think we can help start a few through the Greek system. A senior, Brigitte is a Fashion Ivlerchandising major. Her foremost hobby, she says, is volleyball. That ' s how I get out all my tension and anxiety, with that and racquet ball. I listen to jazz and the Blues. I wish had more personal time for stuff like that, though. I like eating health foods and can do without the burger scene, unlike some people I know. Her future plans include spending the summer in Europe visiting relatives. I would like to travel a while before I have to settle down and Stan paying bills. ■Ian McDowell Brigitte Shubert President Pan-Hellenic Council Bill Snedden Student Government Vice-President Imagine this: William Bill Snedden could become the first singing lawyer in the history of the United States! He has the background for it. A senior Music major, he hopes to specialize in constitutional law. He grew up in Lynchburg, Virginia. It ' s the home of Jerry Falwell, but I ' m not a Falwellite! In fact, I ' dliketoworkfortheA.C.L.U. That interest has grown out of living in Lynchburg and seeing the so-called ' K loral ' Majority close-up. I ' m especially interested in cases dealing with the separation of church and state. Thisyear,-Bill had a chance to see what politics are like as the Vice President of the Student Legislative Assembly. Last year he served on the Task Force to rewrite the student government ' s constitution. This year, he has struggled to get it to work. Bill was also a senator for three years and won the Vice Presidental Award as the senator most helpful to the Vice President. Bill is very involved with campus ministries. He has served for ttwo years on the board of directors of Wesley Luther House. Ironically, Bill ' s a Roman Catholic, not a Methodist. I became very involved because of a ecumenical interest, he explained. (His friends are very impressed with his large vocabulary.) I was very closely associated with the Methodist Church. I had a choir position in two Methodist Churches in Lynchburg. I wasalsotenor soloist this year at West Market Methodist Church. But I ' m still a Roman CatholJc! In the School of Music Bill has been involved with the Symphonic Chorus, the Men ' s Chorus, and Collegium Musicum. He has also had roles in the operas A Midsummer Night ' s Dream and Tales of Hoffman. He loves Renaissance and Baroque music ( the earlier the better ) played on original instruments, vintage rock and roll, Huey Lewis and the News, and opera. Bill holds tbe distinction of being a Ginsu Weasel. The Ginsu Weasels won the UNCG College Bowl championship this year. Bill was one of the two undergraduates on the team. Reading is a favorite pastime of Bill ' s. His favorites include Bunyan, Dante, C.S. Lewis, and Tolkien. He also enjoys Alfred Hitchcock and Woody Allen movies. Bill described another of his interests: I abhorthat stupid new censorship law. One day he ' ll consider running for public office. Yeah! Billfor President in 2008! We have an actor for president; why not an opera singer lawyer? Yeah, that ' s the ticket! -Dawn Ellen Nubel Dawn Ellen Nubel, current editor of the Pine Needles , last year ' s co-editor, andthreetimes editor of the Coraddi. says that if she were an American Indian, hertotemc animal would probably be a kitty-cat. My mother has always said that there ' s one animal that ' s my other self. That ' s my sometimes sweet, sometimes vicous, always neurotic and very brilliant cat. Colour. That animal is like my child, but my mother calls her my other self, which isn ' t too flattering-she is often a vindictive little bitch. But maybe that ' s appropriate, too. Dawn completed her undergraduate work here and will graduate in May with an M.Ed, in Counseling. I like working with small children. I admire the imaginative way they look at the world. I also eventually want to write children ' s books and poetry. I love poetry-Sylvia Plath ' s Collected Works and Fred Chappell ' s Midquest in particular. That may be a strange pairing, but they ' re both so close to the earth. Yes, Plath, too, despite all the idiots who misunderstand her and dismiss her as a ' confessional ' poet. Dawn admits to having a lifelong crush on Sherlock Holmes. When I was in England I camped out at his ' supposed ' address. The other people on the trip thought I was a nut; they all went shopping. I want to marry a brilliant, tall, thin Englishman with a hooked nose. I love that type. Dawn also loves exotic foods, especially oriental and Indian. My favorite place to eat is Ly ' s down on Elm street. Go there and try the Vietnamese curry. She also likes the rock musk; of the seventies- rock, not disco crap- Boston, E.L.O., Supertramp, Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, Yes; the fossil rock ' Rock 92 plays. One of the things Dawn is proudest of this year is helping to bring Harlan Ellison to UNCG. I really am proud of that; he was really cool. In general, she has mixed feelings about her college experiences. I ' ve enjoyed it, but it hasnt quite lived up to what I expected. The best educational experience of my life is still Governor ' s School. Seven years of UNCG cani match those six weeks. When Dawn has the time, which is seldom, she is usually reading her favorite poetry. Someday I ' ll return to writing and studying that stuff. Now, though, I ' m going to be ' making a living ' for awhile. - Ian McDowell Dawn Ellen Nubel Pine Needles Editor Karen Carpenter Carolinian Editor For the second year in a row, The Carolinian got a new editor at the beginning of the spring semester. Karen Carpenter, a junior English major from Salisbury, was named editor for the rest of the year. Karen said, I ' m changing the format for a new look with a lot of student imput. I see it becoming more of a student collaboration about the school. Taking a big stand against student apathy will be our theme. Karen decided to pursue her interest in journalism at UNCG rather than Carolina because she didn ' t want to be in the competitive atmosphere of the Journalism School. I thought it would be better to be actively involved with a student paper than just another student. Music is one of Karen ' s interests. She enjoys The Cure, Stevie Nicks, The Smiths, and local groups such as the Connells. She also enjoys attending campus parties and writing short fiction. I like the Writing Program at UNCG, she said. I like Jim Clark and the way he encourages students to do their best in their writing. Her favorite writers are Tennessee Williams, Flannery O ' Connor, and Margaret Atwood, and her favorite book is Mark Twain ' s Huckleberry Finn . If I could master the art of satire and irony, especially the way it reflects on the society we live in, I would feel accomplished as a writer. - Dawn Ellen Nubel Greg Knowles IFC President Greg Knowles, President of the Interfraternity Council, is confident about his future. I don ' t know that I could set a specific goal. I plan to be successful in whatever I do, and work hard at it. My ideal goal would probably be to graduate, take some time off, and get into med school. His fellow members of the I.F.C. have no doubts that Greg will be able to just that. The Interfraternity Council is the governing body for all the fraternities. We create and lay out rush, explains Greg, create special projects and events, and generally work in conjunction with the PanHellenic Council in coordinating events for the Greeks. A sophomore Biology major who originally hails from Oradell, New Jersey, Greg is of course a Greek himself. I ' d been a member of Pi Kappa Phi for over a year, and got involved with I.F.C. inOctoberof 1985. I ' m very proud of my involvement. The Greeks offer an abundance of social, academic, and leadership opportunities. We also perform a good deal of community service. Recently, we collected items fortheneedyduring the holidays. Of course, there ' s the social side, too- the Greek athletics, the Greek banquets and all that. Athletics are a major hobby of Greg ' s. My passion is to skate. I also like gold, football, bicycling, baseball. Other than that, my main hobby is reading-ficiton and popular science stuff, mostly. Greg says his favorite fast food place is Taco Bell. A number three combo platter is what I always order. I also go to Harry ' s and Bennigan ' s. Greg likes classical music and rock and roll, especially The Police and Springsteen ( well, of course; I am from Jersey ). -Ian McDowell Ellen Bryant Residence Halls Association President Ellen Bryant, President of the Residence Halls Association, was profiled in last year ' s Pine Needles , and claims not to fiave changed much since then. Nor, she says, has her organization. A lot of what I said then still holds true. Our purpose is to be representative voice for resident students, in everything from planning new halls to day to day life, including things like dining hall reenovations, the parking situation, whatever. We represent the resident students. The biggest issue right now is the renovation of the dining hall. We ' re taking a key part in that, keeping in touch with Chuck f yioyer. He ' s out there for our imput. We ' re also represented on the parking committee. We have our annual social events and things like that. Ellen describes herself as jus t a measley little junior. She ' s a Economics major from Wilmington and has been a Tarheel for seventeen of her twenty years. Her real weakness, she says, is the frozen yogurt at T.C.B.Y. They hate me there. They have four flavors and can swirl two of them. I like to get half of one swirl and half of another, with M and M ' s on top. M and M ' s are another weakness, too. Asked about her trobbies, she says wfx) has lime? She enjoys the piano, shopping, and spending lime with children Anything that gets me away from here for awhile. I also like photography, which I got interested in this summer, when I started doing pictures for Residence Life. Dr. Ford has been my mentor there. - Ian fvlcDoweli Patrick Farlow is president o( UNCG ' s living room, Elliott University Center. A junior marketing major from Sophiia, NC, Patrick previously served as business manager of Elliot Center Council and enjoyed ttie organization so muchi tie decided to run for president. Ttiis year Patrick hias overseen lots of successful programming, including bringing the Bangles to UNCG. Patrick noted, I was very pleased witti ttie student turnout at Homecoming. It was my goal to get more students involved, and ttiey really were! Anottier Improvement Patrick sees over years past is ttie orientation for incoming frestimen (tfiere was an event every nigtit before classes started) and better student turnout at movies (a fact he attributes to offering big name recent releases). Patrick describes the student center as a central location for enjoyment, and a place for adding to one ' s college career outside of the classroom. Patrick ' s future goals include a career in the advertizing or marketing fields or possibly university student affairs. Even though Patrick stays busy planning fun things for students and serving on committees-he ' s been on the Martin Luther King Celebration Committee, the Founder ' s Day Committee and Family Weekend Commlttee-he finds time to listen to Bach and Beethoven and read mystery and suspense novels. He also describes himself as a history buff. Eventually, he hopes to go graduate school. He laughed, But I dont really want to grow up. - Dawn Ellen Nubel . . . ' ' Jf .. « ;• V. Patrick Farlow EUC Council President Dale Sheffield is the President of the Golden Chain honor society, an undergraduate organization devoted to promoting scholarship, leadership, and sen ice. Anyone can be nominated to our society, by either a student or a faculty member. At a special time of the year, we have our inductions, when you are tapped into it--it ' s a formal ceremony where you are brought a candle and an invitation. We ' re the scholastic honor society on campus for undergraduates. A senior, Dale is a psychology major. He also enjoys doing volunteer work. I was a teacher ' s assistant for a high school class last year. It was a peer counseling class, like an outreach group. The kids went out into the community and tutored other kids socially and academically. I helped a teacher at Page High school with the kids and with counseling skills. Itwas very rewarding. Dale is from Greensboro originally. He claims to like all kinds of music: it just depends upon the mood I ' m in, and lists his fxjbbies as the usual jogging and weight lifting. (We couch potatoes might not find those tiobbies all that usual.) Forthreeyears, hewasan R.A. in Phillips, which gave him an opportunity to exercise his developing skills. He says he found that opportunity rewarding, and will certainly find future opportunities likewise. The reason I ' m a Psych major is because I want to go on to become a counseling pychologist. Helping people through personal problems is my main goal in life. - Ian McDowell K : r j M . v! , Dale Sheffield Golden Chain President Barry Simmons Graduate Student Association President Barry Simmons, president of the Graduate Student Association, is tiavingabusyyear. As well as working as an advocate (or graduate students, he is writing his dissertation. Occassionally, I breathe and go to the bathroom. When I was going through my coursework, I thought the dissertation would be easier. It ' s just the opposite. It requires tremendous discipline to strap yourself in front of a typewriter or word processor and get down the thoughts that have been going through you head for years. Barry also stays busy as a member of Pi Kappa Phi. He joined as an alumnus and now serves as chapter advisor at Elon College. Whenever Barry needs a break from the rigors of his intellectual life, he heads up to Virginia and a 230 year old hiouse he is restoring. I have to work with my hands or I feel like I ' m going to go crazy is his explanation. He hopes to eventually live in the house, which has been in his family for 120 years. Barry is quite happy with his academic career at UNCG. He likes the amount of personal attention given to students here, and he has had many outstanding professors, including the late Dwight Claris, Dale Brubaker, and Fritz Mengert. The high point in his academic career so far is having had an article published in The Journal of Financial Aid. Aftergraduating with his Doctor of Education degree, Barry tropes to do post-doctoral wo(1 . He eventually would like a position where he ' d have both administrative and teaching duties. Under Barry ' s leadership, the Graduate Student Association has gained more visibility on campus. They sponsored a graduate deli during registration, a graduate student picnic, and made available professional development funds. Barry manages to make all of his activities look easy. Somehow. -Dawn Ellen Nubel April Andrews, senior Communications Studies major, is a Residence Assistant on the fifth floor of Reynolds Hall and says she ' s not happy unless she has a little adventure in my life every now and then. When April says adventure, she ' s not kidding. Her last exploit involved she and a friend hiking up a mountain and then sitting at the end of a ledge, with their legs swinging in the air, jutting out over a waterfall which dropped into a valley thousands of feet below. Not exactly the say one pictures the average R A. spending her spare time. But then, to people on her hall, April is more than the average RA. April says she loves the interaction with people that her job brings her. I thrive off people, off relating to and being of service to them. I like be ng in a prasition to be a positive influence on someone else When I notice someone ' s not feeling well, that they havent been smiling for a while, I ask them about it. Sometimes, I leave them notes with little smiley faces on them. Sharing a smile can mean a lot. Originally from Fayetleville and now living in Dyess Air Force Base in Texas, April says she loves to travel. Her father ' s job in the Air Force and given her an appreciation of other places, of the joy of traveling. In fact, she would like to work as a flight attendant for a few years before starting a career in some public- related field. Traveling is such an educational experience. You learn so much, accumulate so much knowledge atx)ut different types of people. April says she likes to sing and loves listening to a wide range of music, from contemporary Christian to modern jazz to classical. Favorite artists include Amy Grant, Lee Ritenhour, and Stanley Jordan. Besides being an R.A., April is a member of the Communicators and attends the Christian Deliverance Fellowship. She is proud of her faith and says it sustains her in difficult times, that it gives her the courage to do what sometimes has to be done. - Sheila Bowling April Andrews Residence Assistant Stuart Smith WUAG Station Manager Stuart Smith, Senior Broadcast Cinema Major and Station Manager of WUAG, the campus radb station, is hesitant when asked where he ' s from. Let ' s just say Winston-Salem. People doni know where Rafftown is. It ' s just part of the sleazy backwoods of Forsyth County. Now don ' t print that--the ' sleazy backwoods ' part is just a joke. Stuart had known ever since high school what he wanted to major in, and his coming here was a matter of deliberate choice. It was between UNCG and Chapel Hill. Chapel Hill was just too big. Classes are smaller here; it ' s easier to learn. At least, that ' s what I assumed, and so far my assumptions have been correct. By the end of his current term, Stuart will have been Station Manager of WUAG for two and a haff years. I took over the job in the middle of my first year. The experience has been gratifying and educational. It ' s basically just a leadership type position. The General Manager is the one who hires the other department heads; it ' s up to them to run the place. It ' s been the manager ' s job to know what resources are available. I do a lot of answering questions for people. According to Stuart, WUAG has changed since he first became involved with the station. This year we ' ve sounded better than ever--l mean both technically, due to the new equipment we ' ve bought, and dueto our programming. It ' s more consistent, which I think is important to any radio station. There ' s nobody that I know of who wants to tune in a station and not know what to expect. Still, we ' ve continued to provide the Greensboro area with a source of new, alternative musicyou cani hear anywhere else. Stuart ' s personal musical tastes are ecl ectic. I like many types of music. I ' m what you call a button pusher. When I ' m driving in my car, I doni listen to just one station. I listen to WUAG, I listen to country music, I listen to Top 40. I don ' t go around with a constant favorite. Stuart ' s hobbies include electronics, things like that. I want to make a career out of broadcast engineering. I have a job right now as an assistant engineer with a local station. It ' s nice to have a job now that ' s letting me do what I want to do while I ' m still in school. Roy Rogers is the place where you ' re most likely to find Stuart when he goes out on the town. I love it--the Double R Burger is my favorite. He is also a fan of The Far Side. Stuart asked to conclude this profile on a serious note. Although I would like to think that WUAG is better than it ' s ever been, I ' m not about to take the credit. Our improvements have been due to the department heads at the station. Especially our Program Director, Scott Carper, and our Music Director, Phil Boland. They, and the rest of the staff , are the one ' s to thank. -Ian McDowell Soha Hasan, Senior Business Finance Major and president of the International Students Association, hias a clear conception of tier organization ' s purpose. First of all, our primary tfirust is to integrate American and international students and to make ttie American students more aware of ottier cultures in ttiis world. At ttie same time, we give international students an opportunity to experience ttie American lifestyle. I see our main function as one of unification. Totfiisend, tier organization sponsors vartous events, including the annual fall break trip ( this year, we went to Atlanta and Charleston ), a Thanksgiving dinner and dance, and the International Festival ( our real extravaganza ) in the Spring. I ost of our events are attended by txith American and international students. The Americans get to experience other cultures, while the international students get to experience a feeling of family and community, of a home away from home. Soha is originally from Pakistan, but she came here from Lil eria, West Africa, where she lived for six years while her father worthed there. Her parents are currently living in Texas. I applied to several universities, got accepted, visited them, and liked this one the best. I like the Business department, the people here, and the campus itself. When I first saw It I thought it was beautiful. When I graduate, I ' d like to worV somewhere overseas like Europe or Asia, doing Financial Analysis for some international firm. I like to travel. I ' ve traveled very extensively, because of my father ' s job-he works for Pan American airlines. Soha also likes to read, and to listen to the music of different countries ( but not country music ). She is also interested in different languages. I ' m a very social person, fleeting people is my chief pleasure ■ Ian McDowell Soha Hasan International Students Association President The Year in News Fortunately, this volume ' s yearly review section is somewhat less grim that last year ' s, which ended in January with the Challenger disaster. Although the months since then have been rife with scandal, terrorism, and international disasters, we have not had another national tragedy like the space shuttle explosion. For that, we are all probably grateful. The biggest news on the national front is probably the Iran Contra scandal, which has given Ronald Reagan his first serious public relations problem in six years and prompted the resignation of National Security Advisor John Poindexter and made a media figure out of Lt. Colonel Oliver North. Perhaps even more significant than the affair itself is the fact that a major portion of the voting population seems to believe that the president is lying, or, less strongly, has avoided telling the whole truth about his involvement. This could have major repercussions in the next round of elections, where many prospective Republican candidates had been counting on an endorsement from the departing President, endorsements that may not have the political value they once had. The most significant international event was probably the ill-fated summit at Reykjayvik. President Reagan and Premier Gorbachev seemed to have so close to a history- making peace agreement, with a possible ban on nuclear weapons in the offing, and then the whole affair fell apart over the Strategic Defense Initiat ive. Was S.D.I, worth it? Reagan clearly thought so; others disagreed. We can all sigh overwhat might have been. Other events around the globe; Marcos and Duvalier were ousted in the Phillipines and Haiti; Kurt Waldiem won Austria ' s presidency despite charges he had falsified his war record and had Nazi ties; famine relief efforts in Africa were blocked by the war in the Sudan; there was continued unrest (and divestment) in South Africa; terrorism claimed lives in Paris, Istantxjl, and on a Rome Athens flight; and the final death toll from the accident at Chernobyl is still uncertain. Finally, Corazon Aquino was named by Time magazine as Woman of the Year for successfully ousting IVIarcos and attempting to juggle conflicting forces in the Phillipines while maintaining a Democratic society. In a lighter vein, Fergieand Andy ' s royal wedding eclipsed the marriages of American dynasties like Kennedy Shlossberg. The most romantic courtship, however, was probably that of a Hereford cow named Jessica by a confused moose named Bullwinkle; thousands of onlookers descended upon a remote Vermont farm to view this doomed attempt at interspecies mating. Fergie and Andy were lucky they weren ' t subjected to that. Significant obituaries: aside from the Challenger crew, we lost Simone De Beauvoir, Jorge Luis EJorges, Roy Cohn, Benny Goodman, Henry Moore, Georgia O ' Keefe, James Cagney, and Cary Grant. And then there was the cold. Much of the U.S. suffered unprecedented snows in late January, and here in Greensboro we had the largest snowfall in generations. Cars were stuck in the frozen muck, classes were canceled, and the eyesore of the pit in front of the cafeteria was temporarily covered by a clean white blanket. The campus looked better than it has in quite a while. - Ian McDowell ' ' « l ■: Tl  _ rT- M student escort sewice graduate student association outing dub eucfeCCozus international students association Wesley luther house sigma phi epsilon tau kappa epsilon neo-black society neo-black society gospel choir wuag spartan cheerleaders gamma sigma sigma citizens against censorship alpha delta pi alpha phi alpha residence hall association university media board delta sigma theta association of women students golden chain neo-black society executive board karate club baptist student union elliott university center council Sigma nu science fictionl fantasy federation neo-black society dance troupe chi omega oanhellenic council neo-black society drama troupe campus advance for christ student legislative assembly veronica bradleys senior thesis dancers Signs of the times s.

It helps us to realize we live in an international society. The United States can ' t stand by itself anymore. Even Greensboro has a very strong international business component. International differences have become very important, and Geography helps us understand why these differences exist. Dr. Hidore regularty teaches several classes, including Earth Science, Environmental Studies, and Climatology. The latter is his favorite. That ' s field I wor1 in, that I do research and have been published in; it ' s the one I feel the most comfortable with. Climatology is the study of how the weather changes from place to place. I ' ve done research on the importance of drought for local populations. I wort ed for two years in Africa on problems of this nature, on understanding sand and wind systems and the encroachment of dunes upon oases. Dr. Hidore received his B.A. from what was then called the Iowa State Teacher ' s College in Cedar Falls, Iowa, then went on to earn his MA. and Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. His first position was at the University of Wisconsin, then at Oklahoma State and then at Indiana University before coming here. I like Greensboro very much. I ' m happy here. I like the physical environment and I like the people. Dr. Hidore is married and has two grown children. He enjoys hiking and other outdoor activities. I went to the Grand Canyon for my last spring vacation. I also enjoy woodwort ing, and I have a 1 923 Model T that I ' ve been restoring for years That ' s a never-ending project. Itains now, but I ' m still years away from having it in the state it should be in. This is Dr Hidore ' s seventh year at UNCG. He feels that the university is still in the process of transistion. The transformation into a multi-faceted university continues. Just since 1 980, there ' s been an enormous amount of change. There are great opportunities to be taken advantage of, but there are major differences in opinion as to what the university should become. I do betieve that this institution absolutely has to make up its mind. There are opportunities there, txjt they have to move, they have to do something. -Ian McDowell Dr. Thomas Fitzgerald Anthropology Dr. Thomas Fitzgerald of the UNCG Antropology Department recently returned to the island of New Zealand, It was an unusual project; Dr. Fitzgerald had been granted a Fulbright in order to conduct a participatory study in which the natives themselves suggested the research topic. Intrigued by the older generation of islanders ' concern about the subject, Dr. Fitzgerald soon found that his task would be one of attempting to analyze the changing lifestyles of the younger generation, who were being absorbed in to the white culture of New Zealand. The Cook Islanders are an interesting group to look at, says Dr. Fitzgerald. They are of Polynesian extraction and have a great tradition of being hospitable and friendly to strangers. Theirfears expressed an anxiety common to many cultures, an anxiety over their offspring ' s loss of identiy, a sorrow at the lost traditions. Identity has become a central theme in Dr. Fitzgerald ' s work, which includes four books and numerous articles. He personally feels that his most important publication so far was his book on the Maoris of New Zealand entitled Education and Identity. Despite the natural beauty of New Zealand ' s glaciers and mountains, he readily admits that such research has its dangerous side. You put yourself in danger in some places. You can get very lonely, and it ' s exhausting attending ceremonies, speaking the language and following people around. As a resear cher you have to keep yourself separate. You have friends but you cant get involved. It causes jealousies and problems which you have to attempt to stay removed from. I like the people a lot and was very impressed by the lack of racial tension there, not at all like, say. South Africa or even the U.S. It ' s a very civilized litlle country. Their dances are fascinating The Cook Islanders employ their hips the way the Tahitians do, with intergrated erotic, active movements. For the Maoris, the dances are a way of recreating stories and legends of the past, telling how the settlers came to the islands by canoe. There are welcoming and greeting dances, as well as love dances which are erotic imitations of tove making. Their food is fascinating, too. Experiencing their diet and other aspects of their cufture has made me more likely to try newthings. Dr. Fitzgerald ' s experiences abroad have wrought changes in his own life. It ' s had a tremendous philosophical impact on me. In earlier stages of my career, so many of my priorities were wrong. Also, students relate to someone better if he has had actual experience of the things he ' s talking about, so It improves my teaching. I love being able to share ideas with my students. It ' s incredible to me that someone is paid to think and to teach others how to think. I ' ve been quite happy teaching, and may be becoming more of a teacher than a researcher now. --Nan Lewis Jimmie Hawkins Campus Minister Jimmie Hawkins ' youthful appearance and outgoing personality uniquely suit him for the position of a campus minister intern, A graduate of the Presbyterian School of Chnstian Education in Richmond, Virginia, he IS currently serving a one-year internship with UNCG ' s Presby House before pursuing his master ' s .— . the Johnson C, Smith seminary in Atlanta For now, Jimmie ' s UNCG activities keep hirn qu!e busy The hours are long I I take time cut for myself, but on days like Tuesday I know I will be really busy ' His responsibilites include counseling and serving as an advisor to such organizations as the Deliverance Fellowship, the NBS Drama Troupe, and Identity Jimmie is also working to establish a Presbyterian ministry at A T, He somehow manages to also act as the senior high youth leader for St James Presbyterian Church of Greensboro Jsnmie ' s decision to iDecome a campus minister stems from his parent ' s enc-ji.

His bracing cynicism, however, does not disguise his genuine concern for the quality of academic and extracurricular life at this university. This concern explains the years he ' s spent as a faculty representative on the often factious University f ledia Board, a position that could give Job dyspepsia. It also explains his dedication to revising the UMB charter. Mr. Tucker first came to UNCG In 1962, and, except for the years 1968 and 1969, has been here ever since. Previously, he ' d received his Master ' s from Vanderbilt, where he ' d written his thesis on the work of Carson McCullers. From there, he went on to teach for several years at Emory University. One of the things he ' s enjoyed during his long tenure at UNCG is the freedom the English department gives him to teach courses outside of his area of specialization. Recently, I ' ve been allowed to teach Shakespeare, which is not one of my specialties in an academic sense-I ' ve only had one course in it, and that was when I was a sophomore. Every semester, I teach the course called the Writing of Essays, which is basically and advanced composition course. I also co-teach the English Department ' s Introduction to Film course with Fred Chappell each spring. When asked if he ' s noticed any real changes in UNCG since he first came here, Mr. Tucker laughs dryly. Obviously, the school as a whole has grown. The department itself hasn ' t changed much. What with the job situation being what it is, it hasn ' t really changed at all--you see the same faces year after year, the same bodies taking up space and growing more and mouldy and phosphorescent. Our conversation turns to Mr. Tucker ' s involvement with the Media Board and his position as advisor to the often controversial Carolinian. When asked about the changes he ' s helped to initiate in the UMB charter, he looks pensive. Most notably, perhaps, the presiding officers of each medium are now chosen by a selection panel rather than a general election. That may not be as big a change as it appears-fo ' rmerly, the elections were never all that ' general. ' We really have about as many people chosing the editors now as we did in the past, though one would hope that those who are doing the selecting now are rather better informed. Of course, the media are not the only aspects of UNCG that are changing. When asked to comment on the direction in which this university seems to be heading, Mr. Tucker chooses his words carefully. UNCG is a university that is changing very rapidly, so much so that I ' m not sure where it ' s going. I know where we ' re told we ' re going, that we ' re heading towards becoming a nationally recognized university, but I find our direction dynamic but uncertain. -Ian McDowell William Tucker English Betty Watlington Residence Life With the constant msfiing atmosphere that ' s found in any office, the deadlines, the endless supply of work, there hardly seems time for dealing with any interruptions, much less someone with a problem. But Betty Watlington, manager of Residence Life special projects, welcomes students who come to her for help. That is the part of the job she says she loves. I have always found that when helping people, it is the person who helps who is rewarded the most. It is the satisfaction of knowing that is sharing my knowledge and experience can help someone else makes the time I took to listen more than wor thwhile. Betty ' s office takes care of everything from providing visitors to UNCG with housing to supplying students with dorm receptionist jobs. Because they represent the university everyday, Betty says she encourages receptionists to have the professional attitude towards their job as they would have towards a job in the real world. In just about everything you do, you have to deal with people. And with every job you have where you work with peopl§, you gain invaluable experience. And she should know. Betty stopped attending UNCG her freshman year and worked for a used car dealership for sixteen years, where she acted as a combined secretary, bookkeeper, and sometimes salesperson. She then came back to UNCG in 1 964 to finish her degree in English. During that time, she and a fellow student were hired as the first two UNCG Residence Assistants. While completing here M.A. here, Betty worthed as a Residence Director. She says she well remembers what It was like when male students only commuted to day classes and the fiorror that some people felt when open dorm visitation was first proposed in the last sixties. An honorary member of the Golden Chain Honor Society, Betty has worked with Residence Life for 21 years. She says what she likes most about UNCG is the people. I ' m so impressed with the university. It really is an interesting place to be. It ' s a ' mini-international ' spot, a little village with all different kinds of people. I feel privileged to meet and work with all these interesting people, people I otherwise wouldn ' t have met. - Sheila Bowling Dr. Walter Salinger Psychology You would not believe the trouble we went through trying to write a profile on Dr. Walter Salinger, Chairp erson of the UNCG Psychology department and renowned lecturer on neuropsychology. The Hunting of the Snark was a picnic in comparison. (We wish we could say that at least the good Dr. S. did not turn out to be a boojum in the end, causing us all to silently vanish away, but as we never talked to him, we have no idea whether he is one or not-- besides, that ' s enough Lewis Carroll references for an article on a psychologist.) Two different writers were assigned the task, then the copy-editor, a lazy wretch under the best of circumstances, tried it himself. It might have been better if we hadn ' t realized that we had no copy to go with his picture only a few days before the final deadline. Calls to his office went unreturned. On the night of the deadline, we actually contemplated calling him after midnight and interviewing him over the phone, but in the end we didn ' t have the chutzpah. We ' re sure he appreciates that. Dr. Salinger received his B.A. from the University of Houston and Ph.D. from UCLA. He has lectured all over the world on neuropsychology and is in the forefront of research on the topic. According to one of his former students, he can make the most complex theories seem simple and accessible. Not much of a profile, sadly. Still, it ' s better than a blank page. If someone is this busy, he must be important. Besides, we liked the picture. - Ian McDowell Karma Ibsen-Riley Theater Karma Ibsen-Riley ' s spGcific title Is Assistant Professor of Acting in the Ttieatre division of tfie Department of Communication and Theatre. She teaches acting to undergraduates and graduates, advises theatre students, directs plays, deals with independent studies, and so on. As demanding as these responsibilities are, they comprise only a portion of Karma ' s life. If miracles really happen, then Karma ' s ability to juggle her teaching position, the care and feeding of three daughters, ages 11,13, and 1 8, and a career as a professional actress certainly qualifies as miraculous. Her desk is symbolic of the life she leads. At times, it looks like downtown Beirut. Passers-by have been known to halt in front of the door to her office and point and stare. Of Danish ancestry, Karma is a midwesterner, having been born in Iowa and raised in South Dakota. She received her first master ' s degree from the University of Nebraska and then lived in Hawaii for four years, teaching English and Theatre at the university there. It was during this period that she married an anthropologist and had her three children. As a family, they lived in New York and Massacusetts, where Karma wrote, acted professionally, and taught. In 1 978, she and her husband separated. She then took an unusual step for a woman in her mid-thirties, at least for one with three children; she returned to graduate school, this time at the University of Illinois. At the same time, she began to tour with her one-woman show, Nine Women . This play, which deals with nine different women she has known, is obviously a very personal and autobiographical work. After a stint acting professionally in Chicago, where she performed at the Drury Lane Theatre, she returned to full- time teaching, ending up in her present position at UNCG. Even so, she continues to write and occassionally act. Now I ' m more of a realist, she says. Theatre fulfills my creative instincts, which makes me feel better. I also have a strong de votion to leaching, to seeing the process happen in my students. I want them to know how demanding, how joyous it is to completely fill a role and participate in a production that is as close to artistic perfection as possible. This makes all the sacrifices worth it. She has no fixed plans for the future. I want to get my children raised, which means I will be teaching for some time. I hope to improve as both a teacher and an actress. I really want to continue what I ' m doing. I ' m content. - Mark March Joanna Iwata Director of Student Activities for EUC Many people mistake Joanna Iwata for a UNCG student. Contrary to popular belief, she is a graduate of the University of Southern California who now works for UNCG as the Director of Student Activities for Elliott University Center. Her position requires her to supen ise and plan such events as Family Weekend and Homecoming. She also assists in creating, developing and implementing social, cultural and educational programs. Joanna came to UNCG in Juneof1984 Excited bythe professional opportunities offered here, she resigned her former position of Assistant Director of Student Activities at Mills College in California. What attracted her to UNCG was the high level of commitment to activities she found among the students and slalf, plus the challenge posed a bigger school with a more diverse population. Joanna participates in many organizations on campus. She has beenthe advisor for the International Students Association and has sen ed on the Student Developm.ent Advisory Board, the International Students Steering Committee, and the Faculty Council. She also directs the EUC Council, which she describes as dynamic group of committed students wfTO volunteer theirtime. Joanna hopes that certain changes will take place at UNCG while she is here. She believes that there is a need for a deeper sense of committment to the UNCG community. She thinks that a number of students do not feel connected to the university. While UNCG has a lot to offer, Joanna does not want students to become overwhelmed by the amount of activities. She recommends that new students seek organizations they are interested in joining. She considers college to be an opportunity for growth, one that students should make the most of. I think that UNCG is a very special community where there exists creative opportunities lor students to excell, not only academically, but also outside of the classroom. It provides an environment where ordinary people can do extraordinary things within their four years and not because they have to, but because they want to. That ' s what college is all about-an enrichment process. - Melonie Buckingham William Carroll Music You will find I ' m your best friend, the man who won ' t let you down, said Bill Carroll, Music Director of the fall UNCG Theatre production of A Chonjs Line, to his cast at the first rehearsal Those of us in the cast thought lie was joking, but as time passed it became evident he was simply telling the truth By the time the play opened. Bill was more than |ust our t est friend Always immaculate in his black tuxedo, constantly ready with a reassuring smile, he was the light at the end of our tunnel In his three years at UNCG, Bill has directed many rehearsals and choral performances One gets the impression that he and his baton have rescued many lost singers andwayward musicians Dr William G Carroll was bom in Tupelo, Missis sippi, the son of a Methodist minister I had a very naive upbnnging I was not the typical rebellious preacher ' s kid, though my brother was I was quite naive until I went to grad school in Dallas What a shock. I really appreciate all the good people I met along the way ■ Bill ' s undergrad degree is from Millsaps College in Tennessee, while he received his MA from Southern Methodist in Dallas and his doctorate from the Cincinatti Conservatory of Music Although he originally studied to t)e a minister, music won him over Six weeks into divinity school, I was sitting in class and we could hear the choir singing from another building I quit soon after that Bill ' s attitude towards teaching reflects a desire to give more to his students than just instnjction, to make more of his students than just good musicians He feels that the Music Department has much to offer to the community Unfortunately, our department IS too introverted We ' re not getting our a meaningful, accepted product, I ' m not sure why. For all of that, he is very impressed with quality of work done here at UNCG. The collaborative efforts, especially The opportunity for collaboration here is great. Everytime I have worked with memt ers of other departments, the results have t een quite good A Chorus Line was a most successful collaboration Like many performing arts departments, the Music Department here suffers from a lack of funding Bill ' s solution to this problem is a simple one-raise tuition. The program needs to be funded more adequately, the facilities need to b e upgraded We can ' t afford to buy music and would have no space to store It if we did buy it I ' d like to see more funding, it only to allow students to do pieces theway they should t e done Butthafsthe state school atmosphere The tuition is so low The students shouldn ' t complain Despite this. Bill is satisfied with both the work of his students and his colleagues The quality of performance and education thai is achieved here is phenomenal I ' ve learned a lot I ' ve become a better teacher from watching my colleagues I have the utmost respect for them -l rkD l rch Dr. Mary Ellis Gibson English Professor Mary Ellis Gibson graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.A. in English. She received her MA. and Ph D. in English Language and Literature from the University of Chicago. She first came to UNCG as an instructor in 1 978 and became an Associate Professor in 1 985. Dr. Gibson typically teaches classes in 19th Century English Literature, Women ' s Studies, and Journalism. Her favorite courses are Women in Literature, English Romantic Poetry, and Victorian Literature. She ' s seen some changes take place in the English Department since she first came here. I ' m particularly pleased by the increasing interest in Women ' s Studies among students. She also says that the English Department is becoming more flexible, and that there is a mart ed increase in journalism and writing courses. She also hopes to see several new courses implemented, most especially another graduate level course in contemporary critical theory. Dr. Gibson is involved in many on-campus and off-campus activities. She is a member of the Women ' s Studies Committee. She was an advisor to the University Media Board and served as head of the Women ' s Studies Committee. Off-campus, she is a member of the Southeastern Women ' s Studies Association and several other professional organizations. She is also the author a fortfx;oming book, History of the Prism of Art: Browning ' s Poetic Experiments, due out this spring from Ohio State University Press. Dr. Gibson believes more changes would benefit the UNCG English Department, as well as other departments on campus. She feels the number of minority faculty members could be increased, and she encourages the development of new courses organized thematically as well as historically. She also thinks other departments should require rTKire papers from students, as they could benefit from nrore writing experience. Still, she feels there is much to be proud of here. All of our programs in the arts are strong The M FA Creative Writing Program is one of the oldest. We have a tradition here as the Women ' s College that needs to be remembered. Dr. Gibson believes that students need a broad liberal arts background to make them think and write clearly and express themselves well. She recommends that they learn about other cultures and their political systems and histories, and that each student learn at least two languages. There are wonderful opportunities here. I wish more students would take advantage of them. - Melanie Buckingham, Ian McDowell Jim Clark ' s ability to lie is awesome. He can make you believe that he once killed a student or that a friend of yours has been run over by a truck or that there were once women living in the steam tunnels under the campus. Of course Jim has been a background in lying; he ' s been a journalist, and he has a long affiliation with the UNCG Creative Writing Program. Everybody on the yearbook staff, just about, knows Jim. Everybody in the student media knows him. We could claim that to know him is to love him, but unlike Jim, we were taught never to tell fibs. Many freshmen and sopfx) mores have signed up for Jim ' s introductory fiction and essay writing classes thinking they were crib courses. Their subsequent reactions can be described this way: utter fear, stark terror, abject depression, thoughts of suicide. He was also the terror of at least one student in his advanced publishing class, who ' d been told, by a former editor of the paper, that the course was a cinch. Memorizing the Chicago Manual of Style has all the joys of one-handed chicken plucking. Jim has served on the University Media Board with inhuman calm amid the storms that wage there. He has labored to instill in all his students the basic techniques of good writing. He has waded through reams of semi- literate submissions to The Greensboro Review, seeking out the gold admidst the dross, dealing patiently with eccentric and sometimes cantankerous would-be contributors. He has tirelessly promoted the Creative Writing program. In the Spring of 1 987, he was rewarded for that by being appointed the new coordinator of the program. It cou Idn ' t happen to a nicer guy. Okay, Jim, we do love you after all. Just remember that the next time we take one of yourcourses. - Ian McDowell and Mark A. Corum Jim Clark Creative Writing Tony Fragola Film UNCG film instructor Tony Fragola became something of a media figure in the fall of 1 986, when reporters for several national TV programs entered his classroom and he was extensively quoted n Rolling Stone. The source of his unexpected (and unwanted) celebrity was the revised North Carolina obscenity law, a law that is had a profound impact upon Fragola ' s teaching. The class I ' m teaching right now, on Truffaut and Bunuel, was intended to be on Fellini and Bertolucci. After talking to several lawyers, I donl think I can teach those two filmmakers. Too many of their films fall into an ambiguous area, depicting things that it may be illegal to depict in North Carolina. So I took it upon myself to change the course. Truffaut is very safe. Bunuel is probably okay, even though, thematically, he ' s more subversive than Fellini or Bertolucci. But you see the problem--how do you conduct a program in cinema when you cant teach certain certified masters for fear of prosecutbn? You probably can ' t do Fassbinder, I ' d be reluctant to do certain Japanese films, like In the Realm of the Senses. A lot of the South Americans are out. It ' s a real dilemma, And not one that his background prepared him for. Tony received his B.A. from Columbia with a major in Italian literature and a minor in English. From there, he attended Chapel Hill, where he earned an M.A. in Comparative Literature and wrote his thesis on D.H. Lawrence ' s translations and criticism of the works of Giovanni Verga. 1 then started at UNCG as a graduate student back in 1 966, teaching Italian part-time. Then I taught at the NC School of the Arts for a while, before going to spend some time in Italy, I came back here as part-time faculty in ' 74. then taught full-time from 1 975 to 1983. After that, Tony went off to USC to earn a Master of Professional Writing degree. It ' s roughly equivalent to an MFA, but It ' s not affiliated with the English department there and doesnl have the academic courseload our WFA does. I was looking for something with a broader scope, that would concentrate on all forms of creative writing-fiction, screenplays, whatever. I think that in the future many MFA programs will move in that direction. He never started out intending to teach film. The transistion was gradual. I started teaching courses in Italian film and literature, then the history of Italian film, then got involved with filmmaking itself when I started making short films with Roy Prendergrast at Bennett College. All of my filmmaking education has been hands-on I was extremely fortunate in that I worked with several good people-as good as they come. Roy is now in L. A. and Munich and at the forefront of music editing. Bob Mandingo, when he was here, taught me a lot, with his boundless eye and creative energy. I was able to learn from these people and collaborate with them. I ' m now at a point where I like everything I teach. I helped design the screenwriting courses here, for instance, and I love the auteur courses. I ' m teaching what I like to teach. They give me an enormous degree of lattitude. Tony has seen certain changes take place since the last time he was here. When I left in ' 83 hardly anyone was interested in film. Coming back, I find scores of students who want to work in the industry. The industry is moving into this state, although I am not as optimistic about that as some are-most of the top professional talent is and probably always will be brought in from L. A. An outfit like De Laurentis ' has no vested interest training professional people, nor in putting non-union peope in union jobs. What they come here for is cheap secondary personel. Still, he ' s not sure that that is a bad thing. For all that we ' re trying to establish an internship with De Laurentis, we ' re not a technical institute. The purpose of our program is not to insure jobs. We ' re still a four year liberal arts university, not a training ground for filmmakers or video artists or TV people. Tony is not entirely happy with certain attitudes that he encounters among college students. There used to be a sense of the importance of humanism, of the well-rounded person, of the love of learning for its own sake. Now it ' s just ' how will this enable me to get a |ob? ' We lose a lot when we assume that attitude. - Ian McDowell Rhe Markham Assistant to the Dean of Students Rhe Markham has been the Administrative Secretary to Clift Lowery, the Dean of Students, for the past thirteen years. Actually, I was with Cliff at Guilford College for two years before that, so we go way back. The secretarial spot opened up here about the same time they were looking for a Dean, so we just sort of came over as a package. Naturally, she ' s seen a lot of change. Students dressed much more sloppily when I first came here-we were still on the tail end of the Vietnam rebellion, of course. And there were fewer men. But inside, they ' re all much the same now as they were then. I don ' t think the quality of the students has changed. Rhe is from Durham, and first came to Greensboro thirty-five years ago when she got married. I can remember when there were still trolley tracks and even a few overhead trolley wires downtown. Obviously, this city has gone through a real transformation since then. One thing that ' s made me happy is that the downtown area is getting pretty again. That ' s nice. Rhe laughs and shakes her head when she is asked if she knows any of Dean Lowery ' s embarassing secrets. All I can think of is that he ' s always losing keys, and i have to help him find them. Usually they ' re in a coat pocket or on the floorboards of his car. I wish I knew something racier, but that ' s about it. Rhe is well known in the area for her work in community theater. I ' ve done it all my life, ever since grade school. I guess I ' m just a ham. One of her more recent favorite roles was that of Big Momma in the Community Theaterof Greensboro production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. She was such a beautiful personal really fell in love with her. It was a wonderful experience. And are her dramatic skills ever useful in the Dean ' s office? You bet they are! A lot of times you have to act, to put on your ' happy ' hat. People would just rather see a smile than a frown; things are easierthat way. Proje cting a happy image really makes the job better. - Ian McDowell Dr. Elisabeth Bowles Education Dr. Elisabeth Bowles loves cats, so much so that when walks into her office, one is confronted by 75 different ones. There ' s a suspended cat kite, cat posters, cat puzzles, cat puppets, stuffed cats, and an entire shelf fulll of tiny porcelin and china cats. But that ' s not all. Dr. Bowles claims to have more cat collectables at home, along with four real cats. This feline quartet consists of Edgar, Mehitabel, Mehitabel ' s sister, Graymalkin, and Annabelle Lee. so named because Edgar brought her home. A friend of Dr. Bowles ' once published a poem atxDut the first cat she ever had, one Gaylord, who thought he was human. A Greenstx)ro native. Dr. Bowles has taught school for 35 years and is a former executive secretary for the North Carolina English Teachers Association, for which she organized meetings and annual conferences She supen ises student teaching and teaches Education 451 , Teaching Practices and Curriculum in English, the class for English students seeking teaching certification. Her years of dealing with students have given her the insight to understand them, and she uses her experience to help new teachers overcome their problems. Dr. Bowles says that what she most enjoys about teaching is the people. 1 like people. . . and I especially like teaching English because I have never stopped learning. As long as you ' re teaching, you constantly need to be learning. Receiving her undergraduate degree in English in 1 950 from UNCO when it was still the Women ' s College, Dr. Bowles went on to acquire her master ' s and doctoral degrees from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1952 and 1965. Forherdoctoraldissenation.Dr. Bowles published A Good Beginning, a lx)ok on the history of UNCG, a history that had never been compiled before. The book traces the school ' s history from its founding in 1 892 to the 1930 ' s, when it became part of the consolidated university system. It is full of interesting facts, such as that, before 1 892, there were no colleges open to white women in North Carolina. Another piece of trivia is that formal hat and glove attire used to be required when dining in the cafeteria! In her spare time. Dr. Bowles helps out with the Humane Society ' s Pet Meals on Wheels program by collecting cat and dog food and taking it to families who can ' t always afford food for their pets. She also ocassionally takes her cat Edgar to visit the elderly. Dr. Bowles likes cooking, reading, and photography. She loves traveling. She has toured China, Russia, England, and Greece; next year, she plans to spend a couple of weeks touring eastern Europe. Because she enjoys observing other cultures so much, she would like to see as much of the worid as possible. She feels that travel broadens her horizons and expands her understanding of her fellow human beings, an understanding which she incorporates into everything she does. ■ Sheila Bowling Terry Weaver Director of EUC Operations and Services UNCG has changed enormously since Terry Weaver first came here as a student to earn a degree that no longer exists. 1 studied Secretarial Administration. It was a four year liberal arts course they taught in Forney building, designed to teach a person everything they needed to know to work in an office. Did it teach her everything she needed to know to work for Elliot University Center, which she has done in one capacity or another since 1963? Oh, Lord, Heavens no! I had no idea what I was getting into when I came here! Terry is the Director of Operations of Elliot University Center. She ' s responsible for the day by day operations of the facility, for the hiring of students, and for administrative recognition of organizations. Most of the many students who work in EUC have seen her office, with its memorable collection of knicknacks. I ' m a packrat. All of the things in here came from students who found them in the middle of the road or wherever and donated them to my collection. This so-called ' rock concert ' [a group of pebbles painted with smiling, singing faces] came from one of the student staff members. This golf ball fell out of a pile of sand when we were putting the luminaires together. All these little army toys came from a scholastic art exhibit that was never picked up. The rubber turtle was a prize given away at one of the outdoor festivals we had. Things have just piled up. Terry ' s dream is to someday own a horse and a doberman. If my five cats can live with the latter, and if I ever move to the country where I can have room for the former. Horses don ' t do too well in backyards. - Ian McDowell Mark Smith-Soto Romance Languages Dr. Mark Smith-Soto, published poet, author of books on subjects as varied as the art of Alfonsina Stormi and Latin American writers in translation, and Head of the UNCG Department of Romance Languages, is proudest of an accomplishment that lies completely outside of those fields. Aside from reading, I live for chess. I once defeated Bobby Fisher in two simultaneous exhibitions. After that, it ' s all downhill. Born in D.C., Dr. Smith-Soto lived in Costa Rica from the ageof four and a half to the age of ten, then returned with his parentsto D.C. until he entered the University of Maryland, where he earned hisB.A. From there, he went on to receive his MA. and Ph. D. from Berkeley. His published books include the previously mentioned ones on Alfonsina Storni and Latin American writers in translation, plus The World Before Geometry. He is married to Beth Adamour, a fiction writer, and has no children. Aside from chess, his hobbies include the writing of poetry and fictbn, and reading non-fiction about science and music. Asfor his own writing, he is modest; no one is interested in that except my friends. His favorite recreational reading, other than contemporary poetry, is science fiction, and he is particularly fond of the work of Ursula K. LeGuin. He admits it took adjustment to live in Greensboro, but he says he is happy here. He feels that the much discussed- problem of student apathy is improving and cites the existence of the Citizens Against Censorship as evidence of this claim, as well as the various groups opposing U.S. intervention in Central Amertica. Ten years ago, such student groups would hot have been formed. Still, there are things he would like to see improved. People love to pay lip service to the idea of bolstering education, but they areni willing to pay teachers what they deserve. He wishes faculty recitals in the music department had better attendance, and feels the same way about the some of the guest artists. I remember when Alicia de la Rocha, a famous Spanish pianist, played here and Aycock was a third full. At Berkley, people were waving fifty dollar bills to ge t tickets to see her. He also feels that the summer study abroad programs need more exposure. He notes that loans are available for qualified students who wish to take the trip. Pressed for more details about himself, he is reticent. I ' m a boring guy, he says. - Lyssa Sampson, Ian McDowell Bettina Shuford. who became Assistant Dean o( Students three semesters ago, is certainly easy to talk to That ' s understandable, lor all of her training, has related to counseling, specifically to counseling at the college level Originally from Rowan County in NC, Bettina did her undergraduate work in Psychology at NC Central University in Durham. She then entered UNCG to study Clinical Psychology, but one visit to a mental hospital was enough of a shock to cause her to change her emphasis to Developmental Psychology This did not suit her, either, so she switched majors complet ely and enrolled in a program that trained her in the counseling of college students. During this time, she was the R D, in Grogan dorm, and this gave her training a practical application. The people in Grogan at that time related very well, and seemed to get along It was really a most homogenous group. After leaving Grogan, Bettina became an Area Co-ordinator for Residence Life. She was in that position for four years . That was probably a little too long I needed to grow and gain more experience. She got the opportunity to do that when she was offered her present position. Originally, her primary duty was to head minority affairs, but the duties are more diverse now, which is very much to her liking Aside from co-ordinating Minority Affairs, she works closley with the Neo-Black Society, is an advisor to student government, helps to co- ordinate the Women ' s Leadership program, and aids in the recruitment and training of Residence Directors. The Women ' s Leadership Program is currently involved some activities Bettina feels are most important to UNCG There ' s tjeen some concern that there aren ' t enough women in top leadership positions in student govemment. We plan to target some women and help them develop their leadership skills On a campus that is roughly two-thirds female, this concern is justified. In lop leadership roles, there is about a fitty-filty mix of men and women This is obviously not in proportion to the campus population. Bettina is also involved in yet another area of concern for college students-substance abuse She is involved with all substance abuse programs around campus including Alcohol Awareness Week Changing the drinking age is not the answer. Students may be subject to less peer pressure, but basically, they are just being more discreet. Education is the real solution to the problem of substance abuse. The future holds a good deal of hope for Bettina She plans to pursue a doctoral degree in the field she has found so rewarding. This particular population is very important to me Administration in higher education is where I want to bie I leel I ' m always growing, that no matter how much I learn, there is always more •MarkD IVlarch Bettina Shuford Assistant Dean Patricia Wasserboehr Art Patricia Wasserboer believes that the time she spend visiting the Boston Museum of Fine Arts when she was a child strongly influenced her eventual decision to become an artist. As subjects of a study of twins, she and her twin brother were receiving free dental care at the Forsythe Dental Clinic, just across the street from the museum. The museum was my waiting room. I was especially fond of the Greek and Roman collections. Pat has taught sculpture fundamentals to both graduate and undergraduate students intheUNCG Depart of Art for the past five years. Her own art betrays some of that early classical influence she received at the Boston museum. While she works representationally from the figure, her series of figures often folbw mythological themes and attempt to convey what she calls psychological and spiritual qualities. The human figure, she believes, is the most pervasive symbol of our existence. The contexts in which the figure can be placed meaningfully and the variety of ways in which the figure can be interpreted ssare endless. My hope is to create sculpture which is informed by a study of art history, enhanced by interests in other cultures, aided to expression through life experiences and accessible publicly. Some of her figures became accessible publicly at the North Carolina Museumof Art recently. They commissioned marble carvings of two abstract figures especially for the visually impaired, which figures became part of the permanent collection of the Mary Duke Biddle gallery. Pat ' s figures are very tactile but, according to her, that ' s secondary. I like my work to have meaning and I want the form to be as expressive of that as possiblessss. I like my structures to be very solid, but I ' m more interested in expressing ideas than in understanding material. My figures have an element of mystery that draws people into them. They have a pathos that ' s apparent. She obviously has some understanding of material, though, having worked in clay, plaster, cement, wood, stone, and bronze. I do a number of pieces for the same theme, making a lot of exploratory pieces before the finished work. This includes drawings before, during, and after. I always wanted to be an artist, although I would ' ve liked to ha. ' ebeena dancer or musician; I used to play the violin, she reflects. She al - o has a strong interest in writing . She comes from an artistic family. Her father is a commercial artist and her mother is an interior designer and watercolorist. After growing up in Reading, Massachusetts, Pat attended the Boston University School of Fine Arts, receiving her BFA in 1 976 and her MFA in 1979. There, she studied under distinguished sculptors such as Harold Tovish, Mariama Pineda, and James Weeks. She taught part-time at Boston University for three years before coming toUNCG. I believe in the teaching philosophy of the Art Department here, she says, calling it classical and traditional. She also likes the students, praising what she calls their openness for learning. Pat took a year off between her undergraduate and graduate studies in order to pursue one of her o ther major interests, which is traveling. She went to Europe and, more recently, went there again in 1985 asthe Artist in Residence for the University Studies Abroad program inCartona, Italy. Some of her more recent showings include the Southern Bronze show at Western Carolina university and an exhibition in the Weatherspoon Gallery in the Spring of 1 986. A look at her resume reveals many commissions, awards, and grants. -Cary Wilson ' N •is y - 77 fi H ' ♦! r: .•!T ' ij. ILi % i J liK t 1 m m i_ M Mabel Frame Campus Police Mabel Frame has just been awarded a Five Years Sen ice pin from the UNCG police department. Actually, she will have been with them for six years as of last fall. During most of that time, she ' s worked behind the security desk at Jackson Library. Before that, I was a cashier at the soda shop for six years. All the officers would come into the soda shop and hang around and talk tome. Eventually, they started trying to get me to join up, and that ' s what I did. Mabel ' s job involves more than just making sure library books have been properly checked out. The majority of our problems come from off-campus people, though I havent had to deal with too many of those. We ' ve had indecent exposure in the stacks, transients asleep on the floor, lots of things the average person just doesnl know goes on. I ' ve been around so long, the staff here knows that all they have to do is report something to me and I ' m on top of it. She admits that the biggest part of her job concerns watching out for book theft. ' That applies to thefts of students books, too. The kids will set a textbook down and someone will pick it up and-- zoom--sell it at Addams ' . That ' s what everylxidy needs to be careful atx)ut. Still, people don ' t try to slip stuff past me often, and I usually try to give them the Isenefit of the doubt. This past year has been the quietest as far as anything coming down in the library goes. I havem had to call an officer up here for anything major yet. No f istf ights or flashers or anything like that. - Ian McDowell Dr. Robert Calhoun History Dr. Robert Calhoun, of the UNCG History Department, has steadily divided his teaching between the larger university system and the courses he conducts as part of the Mary Foust Residential College program Dr Calhoun enjoys the freedom and intimacy that the classes in Mary Foust give him. He also enjoys working v ith other teachers in a team effort Dr. Calhoun is widely considered to be one of the top five historians of the American Revolution in the world today He did his undergraduate work at Wooster College in Ohio and received his MA andPh D from Western Reserve He has taught at UNCG since 1964 Aside from his work with the Residential College and the Western Civilization program, Dr Calhoun is widely known for his classes in early Amencan history, specializing in the Revolutionary War He believes that the American Revolution played a ma]or role in forming our national character and that in many ways it was a strangely modem war Dunng that era ' people were very cunous about their motives and asked probing questions about them ■ He descnbes the Revolution as a war that began as a conventional warfare and became guerrilla warfare. Along with the details of specific Revolutionary battles. Dr Calhoun especially likes to discuss the Constitution in his classes. Calling that document ' a behavior modification expenment, he comments that even though this document is two hundred years old it still remains contemporary. Dr Calhoun feels that all students, not just those majonng in the field, should take history classes History offers the best way to start lifetime reading habits He hopes that more periods and nations should t e represented in the History curriculum, particulary African history. Many history majors have asked him what |Obs are available in the field He recommends that history majors who do not want to teach should move to the big aty and get any kind of |ob they can to survive They should do volunteer work in the field such as working with public agenaes like ttie Greensboro Histoncal Museum These students could then try to establish contact with a network of professional people to try to find a |0b within the field itself He also thinks many businesses are looking for liberal arts majors These students know how to put evidence together and make sense out of limited data Liberal arts maprs often have a difficult tme discovenng their |obs. but once they ' ve landed one. their promotions come much more rapidly ■ Reflectng upon tne current state of UNCG, Dr Calhoun says that he t elieves that this school has a tradition of good teachers and of students who expect good teaching Teachers enjoy working here Greensboro is a nice setting to live in. - Melanie Buckingham iinotfu-T (Cay...anolfier lest, anolher ,.Mlin£, aiwlfurlwl iau, another coU mtd atJ 3(Ji, anolHerparHpig tic t, arwl ier ' WesUm Civ ipuz, anotfier thru cups of coffee, another seventeen cigarettes, another computer program, another Cost nou6ooki another Cost Cove, another overdue Cihrary hooCu another ideal hits the dirt, another ideaC comes to Cife..

Stacy McClendon and her friend Flo get dolled up for a night on the Editor ' s Note It feels good to be able to tell you that the Pine Needles is alive and well. We ' ve pre-sold all but one hundred copies of the book (which we are holding for release when the book is published) . The yearbook has grown this year from 348 to 380 pages, and that is still not enough room to include all the groups and feature articles we wanted to. (We didn ' t charge for group pictures , as was done in the past, and includcxi groups on a first-come, first-serve basis, as we had photographers available.) A lot of people deserve thanks for helping us with the Pine Needles this year. Dean of Students Cliff Lowery was always there for us when we needed help. His office assistant, Rhe Markham, was a big help. Jim Lancaster was always willing to give helpful advice when needed. Our account representative, Harry Thomas, never seemed to mind no matter how late at night we called him at home. (Sorry, Harry!) Scott Brown allowed us to use his dorm room as an alternative Pine Needles office where we could work late at night, and R.D. Dave Ritter let us litter the halls of South Spencer with layout sheets. 1 also owe many thanks to the staff. Michael Read (our photo god ) and his staff took some great shots. Mark A. Corum mastered the elusive computer, for which the entire staff is very grateful. Sheila Bowling was ready to help with anything anytime (I ' m glad to report our friendship has survived this yearbook!) and she was our cheerleader during the times the rest of the staff wanted to give up. Ian McDowell, besides coordinating copy, represented me on the Media Board (a job that truly requires dedication-and a strong stomach). Thanks Ick. The yearbook is dedicated to the memory of our good friend and former staff member Steve Williams. This dedication is an I love you to someone we will always miss and remember. I ' m glad to be graduating (for the second time). Paul Courtright, Henry Levinson, Fred Chappell, Jack Bardon, Dee Irwin, and Warren Ashby made UNCG a good place to be. I may even miss this school when I ' m gone! Another group deserves thanks too: all the campus cats, and Patches, Mary Tigger, and of course my beautiful and neurotic Colour, who were this book ' s inspiration.
