He thinks that a four year liberal arts education is becoming increasingly important in our complex society. He anticipates a greater need for qualified women in science and business. As Chancellor since 1963. Dr. Highsmith has seen the university change from a two-year junior college into a part of the UNC system in 1 971 . His job is to carry out the goals of the Board of Directors by see- ing that everything works . One disadvantage that goes with the job is the lack of opportunity to meet and talk with the students. However, the Chancellor ' s office is always open and students are welcome. Dr. Arnold King (far lower right) was appointed Acting Chancellor for UNC-A in August, 1977 by Presi- dent Friday. Dr. Highsmith returned in November after recovering from an extended illness which caused him to take a temporary leave of absence. £ We ft yQ , ,„ Tyftrou 0 2 Ul be moths, ft • • 6 Dorm life Dear Mom and Dad, Well here I am at college. This Is a wonderful place. I have moved all my stuff into my room. My roommate is here too. She is a very strange person. She keeps drawing lines down the center of the room. She calls the sections two territories. She also makes alarming references to a coup d ' etat if I cross the line. I don ' t understand. I have met many new friends here. The odd thing is that most of them are boys. They are all very nice and they invite me up to their rooms to see their pets. I don ' t un- derstand this either but I am con- fident that I will soon meet many strange animals. I have to go now and eat my first meal at college. Your loving daughter, Alice Dear Darling Daughter, We were pleased to get your letter. We would like to give you a few words of advice. Get to bed early, smile a lot, eat three times a day, brush your teeth, and don ' t do anything to embarrass you or your family. Your loving family, Mom and Dad PS. Don ' t worry about your roomie unless she grows a moustache. Dear Mom and Dad, I have decided to become an art major. All of the boys have talked me into it. They use me as a model when they draw their pic- tures. I wear what is called a birth- day suit. We do some very strange things but I am told that it is all in good fun. Even though I don ' t understand— I enjoy it. Your loving daughter, Alice PS. Who knows? I may be the next Mona Lisa. Dear Darling Daughter, Remember to get to bed early, smile a lot, eat three times a day, brush your teeth, and don ' t do anything to embarrass you or your family. We love you. Your loving family, Mom and Dad Dear Mom and Dad, Don ' t worry. I am sure that I ' m not doing things you didn ' t do. Your loving Alice Dear Mom and Dad, I am coming home this weekend. I have gained a little weight but don ' t worry. I have been told that I will lose it in about six months. Your in need of love girl, Alice 20 Dormitory life at UNC-A has never suffered from the problem of being over publicized. In times past, many students have been disillusioned by the lack of bright and shiny things to amuse themselves within the context of a tangy dormitory life. The job of creating an exciting en- vironment, in addition to the activities provided by stu- dent government, falls onto the shoulders of the Dorm Council which is composed of the Inter-dorm Social Commissioner and the two Dorm Senators. This year, with Steve Finley (right) as the Dorm Social Com- missioner, an attempt was made to improve the situation. When he was interviewed, Finley defined the problem as being basically due to the relatively small number of stu- dents that we have in the dorms. This, coupled with groupings of small dormitories, leads to the formation of isolated groups of intimate friends. This year, working within the limits of an extremely small budget, we have tried to centralize Vance Hall for student activities through the use of planned gatherings, games, and musical events. Loud music, telephone calls in ' the night, and cinderblock cubbyholes comprise the dormitory scene at UNC-A. Posters, improvised furniture, bicycles and tennis rackets are jammed under beds and onto the walls and doors, reflecting the diverse personalities of the occupants. Beer and game parties, concerts, and other social events arranged by the Inter-dorm Social Commissioner provide opportunities for the approximately 250 dormitory residents to get acquainted. There are vending machines, a ping-pong table, a color television, mailboxes, and games in Vance Hall, the center of activity for the eight residence halls. Mary Gilpin (left), the dorm proctors, and the security guards are usually available to solve problems and to dispense advise. Dorm life is sometimes boring and sometimes fun, but definitely an experience. Approximately 450 new and transfer students were welcomed to UNC-A this Fall with a week of non-stop activity. The dorms opened on Saturday, August 20, and the mass migration of freshmen began . . . Joe Average Freshman arrives in a car bulging with college survival equipment — tennis racket, fish tank, two complete wardrobes, 1500 watt hair dryer, stereo equipment, and a 5 x 7 of the sweetie back home. In Vance Hall, Joe finds his room key and friendly people and doughnuts. With no time to unpack, he stumbles to a place called Lipinsky for the welcom- ing lecture, campus tour, and hundreds of names and faces that blurr before his bloodshot eyes. Cookouts and games on the soccer field and pretty girls with summer tans keep his head spinning. Finally, with a coffeehouse performance and drink- ing too much beer, Joe has survived UNC-A ' s orien- tation (initiation?) week. Registration The first real learning experience of a UNC-A student involves filling out a two-term schedule card, standing in line at the Registrar ' s Office for hours, replacing classes that are already filled, signing about a dozen class cards and forgetting your Social Security number. Drop Add forms are often a maze of red tape and frus- trations—obtaining professors ' approval, juggling hours, professors, and subjects, and finally rushing to stand in line to drop undesirable classes. Then comes another long line at the Business Office to pay fees, tuition, parking fines, collect parking stickers, forms, and receipts and emerging momentarily financially and spiritually broken. Now begins the search for used and loaner books . . .

Pictured are John Sexton (top left) — store A clerk, June Holbert (top center) — cashier, Joyce William- w son (top right) — manager. ™ Among the Poetry, Women in Business, Art and Pottery classes, students find much to their chagrin; that they must also take such required courses as Elementary English, Bibliography, P.E., Biology, and the inevitable four terms of Humanities discussions and lectures. Clever students that take advantage of these to make H can improve their sense of accomplishment, self-esteem, and grade point average. Others who prefer more stimulating activities such as staying out late, oversleeping, and cutting classes find the Humanities Lecture Hall the perfect place to catch a quick nap, the Bibliography classes a source of daily funny papers, and the Elementary English classes an outlet for more and less humorous essays that express their frustra- tions with being placed on academic probation. After com- pleting the required courses, students began to seriously think about majors, degree requirements, and future careers. That ' s when classes really become tough, challeng- ing, and fun. CLASSES 27 What possesses men to work all day, to attend classes all evening, and to study half the night? Can it be self-actualization? Maslow must be smiling. Evening students are a hardy and ever-growing breed on the UNC-A campus. A combination of WCU, UNC-A, and special non-degree workers and parents fill the parking lots to capacity Mon- day through Thursday evenings. The same basic courses and degree programs offered during the day are available in the evening. Working citizens are often reaching toward higher career goals and improved jobs while special students are constructively using th eir leisure hours to develop new and creative interests. Although demanding, cold in winter, and time-consuming, the night program is constantly expanding to fill the public ' s seemingly insatiable desire for education and involvement. Sacrificing hobbies, television, and family time surely proves their persistence, determination and pride in accomplishment. EVENING STUDENTS 28 WCUAT Over 1000 Asheville area commuters are at- tending Western Carolina University evening classes on the UNC-A campus. This co-operative program helps to fully utilize the university facilities, while providing oppor- tunities for working persons to expand their knowledge. Undergraduate degrees in Nursing, Business Administration and Industrial Technology and graduate degrees in Education and Business Administration are offered, as well as UNC-A general education courses which are applicable toward WCU degrees. The Listener ' s Program, a special non-credit course, is offered for persons not currently enrolled in college. Harry Rams ey (left), assistant to the Chancellor, and Joanne Boozer (far left), co-ordinate the programs. o The Listener ' s Program in Lifelong Learning CULLOWHEE. N.C. High school students are able to compare, choose, and apply to the colleges of their choice at College Night held annually at UNC-A. Representatives from colleges such as Lees-McRae, WCU, UNC-A, Limestone, and Mars Hill, offer ad- vice and encouragement. COLLEGE NIGHTU 29 Library The library is a quiet haven in which to study among modern art displays and book collections as well as to socialize. With individual study desks, large work tables, and comfortable chairs, everyone can find his favorite nook. For freshmen in the required Bibliography course, the library can seem like a cage. However, the cage is only a portway to better things to come. Inside the large red doors are pamphlets, bulletins, and newspapers that inform us of all the things we don ' t have time to do. The periodical room downstairs contains more than 700 titles, either bound or on microfilm. Under the direction of Mr. Blowers, a new brows- ing area has been established with current newspapers and popular magazines as well as paperback books. Vending machines have been placed near the lounge area in an ear- nest effort to make the library a major center of student ac- tivity. On the second floor are more book collections, but also small secluded areas to study for tomorrow ' s chemistry test, to nap, or just to dream as you gaze through the tall windows at mountain scenes. Food service Students can not live by hamburgers alone (it takes trench fries too)! Dorm students paid a mandatory $250 per semester for food coupons this year and therefore have an active concern for the quality of their mainstay— the hamburger. Wes Goodman (below), manager of the UNC-A ARA Food Service, made a concerned effort to meet their demands. Mr. Goodman conducted a Food Preference Survey, met with the Student Food Service Committee regularly, and asked students for suggestions and opinions, as well as served Holiday luncheon buffets and special din- ners. Pictured are: Sylvia Hensley (center left), Ruth Jones (far below left), Denise Pace (far below center), and Estie Williams (far below right). tf 32 Infirmary Student government 4 AivW.AuitI? The 1977-78 Student Government is the first SG having to function after the establishment of the Campus Commission. Perhaps the noblest effort to serve the students, in addi tion to all the dances and coffeehouse performances, was arranging a Tod Rundgren Styx concert to be held in the Civic Center. Plans had been made, it had been passed unanimously in the Senate, and the concert was set for December of 1977. Unfortunately, Rundgren cancelled after it was too late to book another band. Pictured are: 1. Brenda Cook— Media Commissioner, 2. Ann Sales— Secretary, 3. Chris Smith— Commuter Senator, 4. Darrell Parker— Finance Commissioner, 5. Members of the Student Senate, 6. Eddie Thomas— Vice-President, 7. Star New- berry— Social Commissioner, and 8. Bill Branham— President. r WUNF88.1 FM WUNF-FM is a non-commercial, educational station owned and operated by UNC-A. It provides the campus and the surrounding com- munity with a refreshing, exciting alternative in radio listening. Due to a scarcity of student disk-jockeys and chaotic business records. WUNF-FM discon- tinued broadcasting for four months. Broad- casting was resumed on a limited basis at noon on Oct. 24 with Dean Sales as interim manager. WUNF-FM broadcasts to a potential audience of over 50,000 persons and is available via Cable TV to an additional potential audience of 6.500 persons. Pictured are: Dean Sales — manager (bottom right); Brad Arnold — music director (bottom left); Joe Levy — production manager (top right); and Steve Finley — assistant manager (right center). ' i _ CI ■ The darkroom, located on the second floor of the Lipinsky Student Center, has been established for the photographers of UNC-A ' s three publications (i.e. Images, Ridgerun- ner, and Summit). Gene Jones (top right) serves as manager of the darkroom. Gene took most of the action photos as well as the two- page color layouts used in the Sum- mit. Mark West (middle left) can be seen around campus, camera in hand, capturing news shots for the Ridgerunner. Mel White (top left) also worked with the Summit prior to his graduating in December of 1978. In the back, in the I 37 CO D CD CD C o o r— Summit 1.

It is our hope that the 1978 Summit accurately portrays your year at UNC-A. f RlDGERUNNER 1 4 Ctje Kifagrrunnrr The RlDGERUNNER kept the students infor- med with news of current events, campus hap- penings and editorials of important issues. Among improvements this year were weekly issues, crossword puzzles, comics, sports, and classified ads. For the first time, color pictures were featured in the paper. The new composer, or computerized typewriter, was used to typeset, giving the RlDGERUNNER a clean, professional appearance. Pictured are: 1. Steve Eller — Spring Semester Editor and Gary Parham, 2. Sharlene Rice — Advertising Manager, 3. Randy Luquire — Fall Semester Editor, 4. Terry Stewart — Secretary. Staff members: Mark West — Managing Editor, Allison Phillips — News, Mary Sheehan — Business Manager, Terry Skalla — Secretary and Tom Lee — Cartoonist. 39 rrlMAGES: SBSAmIzi Erwin Cook (right), along with an in- tegrated Images staff, turned the arts at UNC-Asheville into a participatory ex- perience. As varied as trees in the fall, Im- ages gave the students a multi-media smorgasboard ranging from classic films like Cocteau ' s Blood of a Poet , to a special just-in-time-for-Christmas newspaper edi- tion of poetry and short stories, all the way to a presentation of Sylvia Plath ' s autobiographical poetry. The doorway to spring was entered with poetry contests, more films, and expressionistic kite flying extravaganza, and a cornucopia of literary presentations. Below are reproductions from the fall issue of Images.

Prescribed by the student govern- ment as a potential cure for the blues between classes, anyone with an extra quarter or two qualifies for membership. A Y S§ 3 • As the commuter and evening student enrollment in- creases, the number of available parking spaces decrease. This frustrating situation is stated by several students: It ' s discouraging to have to hunt a parking place all around campus, no matter if you arrive early. on time, or late for class ; and After paying $5.00 for a parking sticker for parking privileges on campus. I feel the school should provide adequate parking facilities. All total I have payed S22 to park on the campus. This is aggravating. Hopefully, an awareness of the problem will lead to improvement and expansion of the parking areas as suggested by one student: The University owns many acres surrounding the core campus. It would seem to me that more integrated planning could make use of these areas and alleviate the space problems we are currently experiencing. Sharlene Rice (above right) limps away from the severe blow to her wallet after receiving a ticket for parking in a handicapped parking space. 42 Jules bergman Jules Bergman, an expert science journalist and observer, lectured October 28, 1977 in the Carmichael Humanities Lecture Hall on the topic 2000 A.D.: The Way It Will Be . Jules Bergman has reported on the latest scien- tific, health, technical, and in- dustrial developments and has appeared in leading magazines as well as films, documentaries, and newscasts. Mr. Bergman ' s lecture was well attended by space and science enthusiasts. Dick Contino, master accordionist and well known singer-entertainer, performed German, French, and Spanish selections in the Lipinsky Student Center on November 11, 1977. The University Committee for Cultural and Special Events and the Foreign Language Department co-sponsored the continental program in conjunction with an international culture and taste fair. A true master of the accordian, Contino combines an innovative musical style, in- cluding the bellow shake technique, with a personal philosophy of allowing his life to combine and inspire his art and maintain a love relationship with his audiences. Since winning over every competitor in a Radio Show in 1940, Contino has recorded on every major label and appeared in prestigious clubs, entertaining all age and musical tastes with classics such as: Lady of Spain , Saber Dance , Tico, Tico , Theme for 2001 , and Bridge Over Troubled Water . DICK CONTINO 43 ■ Onstage The audience was invited to discuss and criticize plays with the director and cast at UNC-A ' s Forum Theatre in an in- novative, informal approach to drama. Refreshments were served before each no-charge performance of the student directed one-act plays. As a result, more students have been introduced to drama, not only as observers but as participants. The Rimers of Eldritch , Present Tense , The Waiting Room , White Lies , The School for Scandal , and The Real Inspector Hound are some of the works that were performed in the new Carol Belk Theatre, just completed this year. Gotta dance Like a scene from Star Wars, bizarre and strange creatures danced to the disco music of Madcap at the Halloween Dance held October 22. Bunny rabbits, Bullwinkles, and the Marx Brothers bumped, hustled, and gyrated across the floor. Over seven kegs of beer were consumed and a good time was had by all the creatures. The Black Students ' Association sponsored an extremely suc- cessful Disco Dance on October 28 in the Coffeehouse. A Thanksgiving Dance was sponsored by the Student Government Association on November 19. Threshhold played Top 40 tunes to the enthusiastic crowd. ' s y ifl $ IHk3 £ ' ai l 3 L.

Star Wars was a science fiction movie in the best modern tradition of space westerns. The record breaking special effects and theme song earned Star Wars numerous Academy Award nominations. Fleetwood Mac climbed to the top of the popular and rock charts, capturing many musical awards for their Rumours album. | 1USIC AND FILM Nature unleashed— The rains fell with blinding fury during the weekend of November 6, 1977. The Swannanoa and French Broad Rivers overflowed their banks as muddy waters flooded homes and businesses. Com- muter students, workers, and families were stranded or forced to evacuate the area as roads and bridges were washed away. President Carter declared Bun- combe County a disaster area with damages estimated at $26 million. In Tocoa, Georgia, the hardest hit area, thirty-four college students were killed when a dam collapsed. With the help of the Army Corp of Engineers, the citizens have begun the almost overwhelming task of rebuilding bridges, homes, and their lives. 55 ■ Western Carolina Bank FDK To us. . you ' re the boss You really do make the difference. t tshevilte {federal AND LOAN ASSOCIATION 5S?5 Savings ASHEVULE BLACK MOUNTAIN MARS MILL State Si ' eel Ma-si a« Sfwi 669 843? 689 ?600 S  LAND S ,ia aPa7a ?-4 333- Wachovia Teller Now in Asheville at these locations • Fasf 912 Tunnel Road • Worth 800 Merrimon Avenue • Biltmore b Angle Street 56 UNC-Wilmington 3, UNC-A UNC-A 2, UNC-Charlotte 1 Liberty Baptist 2, UNC-A Winthrop 4, UNC-A 1 Erskine 8, UNC-A UNC-A 6, Baptist College 1 Western Carolina 6, UNC-A Coll. of Charleston 5, UNC-A Belmont Abbey 2, UNC-A 1 Winthrop 2, UNC-A 1 UNC-A 3, Wofford 1 Emory 2, UNC-A UNC-A 4, Presbyterian UNC-A 1, Central Weslyan 1 BO TON M I I Members of the 1977-78 Soccer Team include: Larry Ball, Mike Blanton, Todd Cecchini, Brad Chamberlain, Brent Conner, John Mark Councell, Fred DeLuca, John Evans, Hassan Farazian, Wond Haile, Harry Johnston, Frank Keller, Andy Linton, Doug McCurry, Thorn McMahon, Clyde McPeters, Carl Mott, Paul Parce, and Chris Ramsey. 58 I LIKE SOCCER MOST WHEN I . . . shoot a bouncing goal shot.

Many long hours are spent practicing and learning new cheers, formations, and stunts. As Karen Banning stated, We have tried to promote good school spirit by incorporating new lifts and chants into our cheers, and adding men to the squad. The team made an effort to raise spirits and morale at as many soccer and basketball games as possible. Leading the cheering section at home and away ballgames are (pictured far below; top row): Debbie Maynard, Angela Kirby. Gail Thomas— Co- Captain, Mike Taylor, Karen Banning— Captain, Regina Kates, and Ronnie Estradda. % I HOMECOMING 78 A full schedule of Homecoming events took place the week of Feburary 13-18th, as no expense was spared. A semi-formal Valentines Day dance held at the Great Smokies Hilton Ballroom Friday night, kicked off the busy weekend, with beer and set-ups provided for the record crowd. The Fat Ammons Band , from Charlotte, played Top Forty, the Star Wars theme replete with costumes, and 50-ish twist tunes to a rocking and rolling dance floor. The highlight was the an- nouncement of David Stickel and Liz Harris as Homecoming King and Queen, chosen from twenty men and twenty women nominated. The Alumni Associa- tion sponsored a luncheon in the Rathskeller. And a Theater Matinee, The Real Inspector Hound , was presented in the Carol Belk Theatre Saturday, February 18th. The combined efforts of the campus organizations made this a most spectacular and entertaining Homecoming for the students, faculty, and alumni. (Pictured below) Members of the Homecoming Court from left to right are: Bill Branham and es- cort, Cindy Yount and escort, Angela Kirby and escort, Gwen Summey and es- cort, Liz Harris and escort, Dee Forester and escort, escort and Phil Oakes, Mark Mundy and escort, and David Stickel and escort.

' mf s i H «p II mlm I % ' StffT ■ oar v ;: A 73 __, Formed in 1976, the Manage- ment Club has grown into one of the largest campus organiza- tions. Its Career Objective Program has offered Manage- ment majors employment op- portunities. By corporately electing the club officers, the students learned practical business experience. A lecture program was offered that featured business oriented speakers. The 1977-78 club of- ficers (above left) pictured left to right are: Teresa Pike, Scott Ervin, Sharlene Rice, Dr. Hart (advisor), and Mary Sheehan. The Black Student Associa- tion (right) promotes the welfare of black students and serves as a forum for discus- sion of problems. Various cultural and social events were sponsored, including guest poet Hikki Giovani during the Ethnic Arts Festival. ■ 1 % - iSkJRf PSI CHI I The Economics Club (below), was organized to promote interest in economics and student in- volvement in community ac- tivities. The club submitted a grant proposal to the National Science Foundation for a feasibility study on solar energy in the Asheville Community. Speakers lecturing on finance and banking were brought in by the club, and field trips included journeys out to the Thomas Rehabilitation hospital and several other institutions. Psi Chi (left), the National Honor Society in Psychology, was established at UNC-A in 1973. The club strives to advance the science of psychology, and to en- courage, stimulate, and maintain the scholarships of the individual member in all fields . The club held a bi-monthly lecture series, various dinners, and a collection drive that was launched for the March of Dimes. Future plans in- clude creating a tape library and expanding the lecture series. 1. The constitution of Sigma Alpha Omega fraternity was signed by the members and approved by the college in December of 1977. The purpose of the fraternity is to promote school spirit and provide services to enhance college and community interface relationships. Pictured are: (standing) Carl Mott, David Essick, (sitting) Paul Runion, Hassan Farazian, and Doug McCurry. Not pictured are: Paul Braddish, Ed Harris-Faculty Advisor, and Dr. George Kramer-Administrative Advisor. 2. As a service club composed of young women, the K-ettes strive to serve the University through a concern in campus and civic affairs. Organized in December 1964, the K-ettes was the first club of this type on any college campus. SIGMA ALPHA OMEGA IAQ 1. Members of the German Club at a German movie presentation. 2. Pardonne-moi mon faux-pas! You have not heard about the French Club?? It ' s a bit of France in your midst. With films, dinners, and events of interest, we are constantly broadened by the history and culture of France. Many members have either been to France or propose to go there one day, for we share a common interest-the French people and their way of life. Come share with us the most romantic country on earth. 3. Members of the Spanish Club at a dinner held at the home of Dr. Reynolds. 4. The three clubs unite to bring Dick Contino to UNC-A. STUDENTS FOR McNEIL SMITH The Young Democrats Club was useful in sparking an in- terest in partisan politics at UNC-A. By establishing regular club meetings with interesting guest speakers the club was able to successfully enlarge its membership and also provide the student community wit h in- sight into many of the can- didates who ran for both local and state offices. These in- cluded U. S. Senate candidates John Ingram (Above) and McNeil Smith (Top). This also helped create the Students for McNeil Smith Club, which was responsible for McNeil Smith ' s campaign in the city and county. The YDC, with the Political Science Association, co-sponsored a candidates forum in the spring. 82 The Christian Fellowship, with help from area churches, provided a common meeting place for students of all denominations to share Chris- tian values and concepts. Activities included a needy person drive at Christmas, trick-or-treat for UN- ICEF, films and guest speakers. The Undergraduate Research Association sponsored weekly Science Forums during which mem- bers of the Mathematics, Sciences, and Sociology departments lec- tured. ' UNC-A has developed from a junior college to a unit of the UNC system. Its in- ception was September 1927. As Bun- combe County Junior College, it was housed in the basement of Biltmore High School. Next the college was known as Biltmore Junior College. Shortly thereaf- ter it became Asheville-Biltmore College. In 1963 Asheville-Biltmore College became a four year institution and in 1969 the college became a campus of the con- solidated University of North Carolina system and acquired its present name. The Alumni Association awards scholarships, participates in Homecom- ing, forms the liaison between students and alumni and keeps members informed of happenings on campus. Alumni through the Association cooperate in such programs as career planning, orien- tation, Elderhostel. and fund drives. Pictured (left) are members of the Alumni Association at the 1977 Tree Planting Ceremony in the quad. 1 wv H j B jS jL jf B Mg ;feg- — ft The Greatest Show On Earth Costumed performers, elephant processions, glitter, tinsel, funny faced clowns, vendors hawking cot- ton candy, cokes, cheap toys and memories ... all were a part of the bewitchment of the Ringling Brothers-Barnum and Bailey travel- ing Mardi Gras. Children of all ages were hypnotized by the acrobatic chimps and dancing dogs; thrilled by dashing Gunther Gebel Williams and his tigers as they leaped through flaming hoops, and held with bated breath by high wire artists dangerously twisting through the air; entertained by the trumpeting elephants and the crowning of a clown king and queen. Perfor- mances were given at the Asheville Civic Center to crowds of smiling faces all waiting to relive a remem- bered excitement and willingly become one among the thousands of children of all ages for the ' Greatest Show on Earth . 92 .... w tr k SENIOR INDEX Anderson, Susan Apostolopoulos, Paula Sideris Bolick, Bernadette Bradford, Broma Faye Branham, William Bumphys, Tony Caudill, Betsy Cook, Erwin Farazian, Hassan Flynn, Richard E., Jr Furek, John Position 8 27 Page 96 102 Grating, Ellen Hedden, Suzy Holbert, Patrick Hudgins, Robert Hulme, Sharon Trammel Kdan, Murial Kondillis, Maria SIP ■ Lack, Kathy Lanning, Kaye Long, Deedra Luquire, Randy McEnerney, Charles Harold McPeters, Clyde Maxwell, Keith Monroe, Susan E.

S. colleges or foreign educational institutions. Students may also obtain information on overseas transporta- tion, financial aid, and programs of study in foreign countries. It is the philosophy of the Office of Inter- national Studies that the international educational ex- perience is an important part of the educational process. The Office of International Studies sponsors several overseas programs during the summer. The summer session in Oxford, England, has operated annually since 1968, and in the summer of 1977, North Carolina State University became a co-sponsoring institution, allowing for a broader range of course offerings. These courses are taught by outstanding specialists who are either British trained or currently teaching in British in- stitutions, or both. Students may earn up to six semester hours of credit in this program, in which stu- dents from colleges and universities all over the U.S. come together for a four-week resident session at an Oxford college. In 1972 UNC-A instituted a program in the com- parative teaching of science which takes place every other summer at St. Anne ' s College, Oxford, England. Qualified and experienced science educators from the U. S. and Canada spend three weeks at Oxford par- ticipating in a program of lectures on British science education and visiting in the British classrooms. They have seminar contact with British educators in which the general life job problems of all teachers are ex- plored. An institute for Irish-American Studies was es- tablished in 1976, in cooperation with the New Univer- sity of Ulster in Coleraine, Northern Ireland. Every other year the Institute sponsors a scholarly sym- posium either in Ireland or in the U.S. Beginning in the summer of 1974, UNC-A has spon- sored a non-credit travel program for adults in the community-at-large. Each year, a two-or-three week trip is planned to a different overseas location. The Art Department will offer a new program in art history in the summer of 1978. Students will have a two-week orientation period on the UNC-A campus and will spend three weeks in Florence, Italy, earning six semester hours of academic credit. The Office of International Studies is located on the first floor of the Carmichael Humanities Building and is staffed by a part-time director and secretary. All programs sponsored by the Office of International Studies are self supporting. Brad Arnold won the first prize of thirty-five dollars over tough competition at the Inn on the Plaza ' s Gong Show by singing an original com- position Raunchy Restroom Blues and ac- companying himself on the guitar.
