FOREWORD This is a book of surfaces. A collection of images and sensations, in an attempt to retain the immediacy, the intensity, the color of Chapel Hill. Recent changes in the size and orientation of the University have stirred this “sleepy little village touched by a strange magic,” transforming it into a community without boundaries. No longer a primarily regional institution, UNC’s faculty is international and its student body diverse. As its interests broaden, the purpose and duty of the University is constantly being called into question. Yet the Tar Heel spirit has not changed. In many North Carolinians, it is instilled at birth and carried to the grave. The true Carolina Blue remains as varied as the people who profess it, however. Found in the most unexpected places, in even less expected forms, the contenance of Carolina has engaged us here. Not only the sky, but everything in this part of the state seems to be tinted a light shade of blue. Surfaces? Yes, we did go deeper. Each one of us sees UNC before a different background of ideas, attitudes, and experiences—these cannot be isolated from the University itself. This variety of interpretation fascinated us, and we sought to retain it. Therefore, do not expect our descriptions to be totally impartial—strong impressions and opinions cannot exist without some degree of bias. It is the associations of the images within this book that made them important to the individual artists. You will not Find the University conveniently packaged. You may not agree with everything you see here, but do not ignore it; remember where it came from. It is up to you to draw the conclusions. Go to the source—the University, the town—and decide for yourself what is real, here, on -wr the cutting edge of tomorrow. 5
