PRELUDE 


Exciting  things  are  happening  at  UNCW.  We  have  a  new  chancel- 
lor, James  R.  Leutze,  who  is  bursting  with  energy  and  ideas  for  our  won- 
derful university.  He's  committed  to  making  UNCW  a  superb  under- 
graduate institution  and  to  positioning  our  marine  biology  program  as  one 
oi  the  premier  programs  in  the  nation. 

We  have  a  new  alumni  affairs  director  and  new  basketball  coaches 
for  our  men's  and  women's  programs.  The  calendar  is  brimming  with  the 
events  they  have  planned.  We're  ready  to  share  the  excitement. 

New  students,  staff,  and  faculty  from  many  parts  of  the  country  and 
from  other  nations  have  joined  us  as  well,  bringing  with  them  fresh 
perspectives  and  new  ways  of  doing  things. 

New  emphasis  on  international  study  has  already  resulted  in 
UNCW's  first  formalized  study  abroad  and  exchange  programs  with 
universities  in  foreign  countries.  This  means  our  students  will  have 
regular  opportunities  to  live  and  study  in  countries  like  Equador  and 
Great  Britain. 

And  our  alumni  and  parents  associations  are  stronger  than  ever. 
This  past  year  1250  alumni  donors  invested  $77,000  in  UNCW  while  the 
parents  of  UNCW  students  raised  $32,000  from  522  donors.  We  are 
building  a  strong  base  of  support  to  enable  the  university  to  provide  even 
better  programs  and  services.  This  devotion  to  UNCW  is  unsurpassed. 

We  have  a  lot  to  be  proud  of.  UNCW  Magazine  has  been  updated  to 
reflect  these  accomplishments  and  the  pride  we  take  in  our  university. 
Examine  it,  read  it,  savor  it.  Let  us  know  what  you  think.  Your  input  is 
important. 

We  look  forward  to  bringing  you  stories  that  reflect  the  best  of  the 
University  of  North  Carolina  at  Wilmington.

Drug  Research 

Robert  Hakan,  assistant 

professor  of  psycho  logy  and  1980 
graduate  of  UNCW,  received  a 
research  award  from  the  National 
Institute  of  Drug  Abuse  to  study  the 
effects  of  dnigs  on  the  brain.  The 
$467,181  award  is  the  largest  ever 
received  by  a  UNCW  faculty 
member. 

Hakan's  research  will  focus  on 
the  nucleus  accumbens  region  of  the 
brain  that  is  believed  to  stimulate 
the  pleasurable  feelings  associated 
with  using  dnigs.  Morphine,  nico- 
tine and  alcohol  are  among  the 
drugs  studied  in  Hakan's  research. 

Editor  and  Author 

Carole  Fink,  associate  professor 
of  history,  attended  the  second 
conference  of  the  International 
Society  for  the  Study  of  European 
Ideas  Sept.  3-8  in  Leuven,  Belgium. 
During  the  conference  scholars  in 
the  humanities,  arts,  and  social 
sciences  from  Europe,  Asia,  the 
Middle  East,  and  America  discussed 
the  theme,  "A  Comparative  History 
of  European  Nationalism:  Toward 
1992".  Fink's  presentation  was 
entitled  "The  Historian  as  Patriot". 

Fink  has  also  been  invited  to 
join  the  international  editorial  board 
of  a  new  journal,  Contemporary 
European  Histcrry.  The  journal, 
published  in  Great  Britain  by 
Cambridge  University  Press,  will 
focus  on  the  history  of  Europe  since 
1918. 

Aid  to  Chile 

William  M.  Wadman,  UNCW 
associate  professor  of  economics  and 
1989  Fulbright  lecturer  to  Chile, 
returned  to  Chile  this  summer  to 
negotiate  a  $10  million  grant  for  the 
Chilean  Ministry  of  Health.  He 
served  as  a  representative  of  the 


U.S.  AID  team.  The  grant  will  assist 
in  improving  primary  health  care  to 
poor  rural  and  urban  communities  in 
Chile.  President  Bush  is  expected  to 
sign  the  agreement  with  President 
Patricio  Aylwin  on  his  visit  to  South 
America  in  November. 

DEVELOPMENTS 

Sequencing  Science 

A  three-year,  $  1 .47  million 
grant  has  been  awarded  to  UNCW 
by  the  National  Science  Founda- 
tion. One  of  five  awarded  in  the 
nation,  the  grant  will  support  a  pilot 
center  to  improve  the  scope, 
sequence,  and  coordination  of  middle 
grades  and  high  school  science. 

David  Andrews,  associate 
professor  of  science  education  in  the 
School  of  Education  and  associate 
director  of  the  UNCW  Science  and 
Mathematics  Education  Center 
(SMEC),  will  direct  the  project. 
Other  UNCW  faculty  involved  in 
the  project  are  Carolyn  Dunn, 
associate  professor  of  biology,  and 
Charles  Ward,  director  of  SMEC. 

The  pilot  project  will  focus  on 
the  spacing  and  proper  sequencing 
of  science  concepts  and  topics 
taught  in  grades  six  through  eight. 
The  concepts  will  be  tested  and 
evaluated  in  seven  North  Carolina 
schools  before  the  curriculum 
revisions  are  recommended  nation- 
wide. 

The  program  could  lead  to  fewer 
dropouts  from  science,  more  stu- 
dents pursing  upper  level  science, 
and  a  more  scientifically  literate 
population. 

Scholarship  Endowment 

Estell  C.  Lee,  former  owner  and 
president  of  Almont  Shipping 
Company  and  1955  graduate  of 
Wilmington  College,  has  presented 
a  $  1  million  fully  funded  life  insur- 
ance policy  to  the  UNCW  Founda- 


tion. Payable  to  UNCW  upon  her 
death,  the  money  will  be  used  for 
scholarships  in  two  areas,  80  percent 
to  the  Cameron  School  of  Business 
Administration  and  20  percent  to 
the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences. 

In  addition,  Lee  has  made  a 
separate  cash  contribution  of  more 
than  $140,000  to  the  UNCW 
Student  Aid  Association  that  will  go 
towards  athletic  scholarships. 

Lee  cunently  serves  on  the 
Board  of  Directors  of  Wachovia 
Corporation,  Carolina  Power  6k 
Light,  Cape  Fear  Memorial  Hospital, 
and  the  UNCW  Student  Aid 
Association.  She  is  also  a  member  of 
the  N.C  Board  of  Transportation. 

POLICY 

Drug  Testing 

In  accordance  with  directions 
from  the  UNCW  Board  of  Trustees, 
a  mandatory  drug-testing  policy  has 
been  developed  for  all  UNCW 
athletes.  Implementation  began  in 
September,  with  all  athletes  receiv- 
ing a  personal  briefing  by  university 
attorney  Paul  Eaglin  along  with  a 
copy  of  the  eight-page  policy 
statement  for  each  player. 

Testing  may  be  done  by  random 
sample  or  based  on  reasonable 
suspicion.  The  policy  also  allows 
pre-season  testing  of  an  entire  team. 
Tests  may  be  done  for  a  variety  of 
drugs,  including  anabolic  steroids, 
diuretics,  cocaine,  and  marijuana. 

Eaglin  explained  that  test  results 
will  be  confidential.  First-time 
offenders  will  be  counseled  and 
given  dnig  rehabilitation  as  well  as 
being  subject  to  weekly  testing.  Upon 
second  offense,  the  additional  step  of 
notifying  the  player's  parents  may  be 
taken,  and  the  player  is  also  subject 
to  being  suspended.  The  third 
offense  will  cause  eligibility  to  be 
canceled,  which  could  lead  to  loss  of 
scholarship.

ALUMNI    PROFILE 


Dedicated  to  the 
Citizens  of  North  Carolina 


Baptism,  blueberries,  and  bills 
mean  a  lot  to  this  man.  So  do 
democracy  and  civic  duty.  Son  of  a 
preacher  and  one  of  1 1  children,  this 
North  Carolina  statesman  knows 
the  value  of  persuasion  and  persis- 
tence. 

Senator  Henson  Barnes  of 
Wayne  County,  president  pro  tern  of 
the  North  Carolina  Senate  and 
1958  graduate  of  Wilmington 
College,  is  dedicated  to  making  a 
difference  in  the  lives  of  North 
Carolinians. 

"You  have  to  have  the  desire  to 
serve  and  a  little  fire  in  your  stom- 
ach to  fight  for  what  you  believe  in," 
said  Barnes  about  the  traits  of  a  good 
politician.  "You  have  to  realize  that 
other  people  are  just  as  smart  as  you

"You  have  to  have  the 
desire  to  serve  and  a 

little  fire  in  your 

stomach  to  fight  for 

what  you  believe  in." 

are  and  believe  in  their  ideas  just  as 
much  as  you  do. 

"Compromise  is  extremely 
important  in  politics  -  not  in  your 
principles,  but  in  how  you  accom- 
plish your  goals,"  Barnes  said. 
"You've  got  to  develop  a  consensus, 
make  good  solid  decisions  and 
inspire  others  to  follow." 

Barnes'  introduction  to  politics 


goes  back  to  his  Bladen  County 
boyhood  when  his  father  was  active 
in  local  elections. 

"My  father  got  involved  in  the 
school  merger  and  also  hauled 
people  to  the  polls  to  vote  against 
beer.  And  a  lot  of  the  politicians 
came  to  see  Daddy  while  they  were 
running  for  office.  I  was  always 
around  politics,"  said  Barnes. 

With  a  law  degree  from  UNC 
Chapel  Hill,  Barnes  went  to 
Goldsboro  to  practice  law  in  1961. 
"They  elected  me  to  the  House  of 
Representatives  in  1975  and  in  1977 
1  ran  for  the  North  Carolina  Sen- 
ate." He  became  president  pro  tern 
in  1989. 

His  legislative  duties  include 
appointing  all  Senate  committees 


U    N    C   W 


U    N   C   W 


and  chairs  of  committees,  assigning 
offices  and  seats  to  Senators, 
handling  the  administrative  business 
of  the  General  Assembly,  and 
presiding  over  the  Senate  in  the 
absence  of  the  Lt.  Governor.  Prior 
to  his  presidency,  Barnes  served  as 
chair  of  the  Senate  Judiciary  Com- 
mittee. 

Barnes  believes  in  the  demo- 
cratic process  and  the  quality  of  the 
people  who  serve  in  the  legislature. 
"Every  year  I  have  served,  I'm 
convinced  of  the  validity  of  the 
system  of  democracy.  You're  not 
able  to  move  bills  fast,  but  it  was 
designed  that  way  for  public  input," 
Barnes  said.  He  added,  "Time  and 
time  again,  I'm  continually 
impressed  with  the  people 
who  run  and  work  in  the 
General  Assembly." 
They're  committed  to 
doing  their  jobs  well. 

Serving  in  the 
military  was  a  powerful 
influence  on  Barnes'  life.  It 
taught  him  detennination.  "I 
learned  if  you're  going  to  go  after 
something,  go  after  it  hard."  Barnes 
served  three  years  in  the  Korean 
War  with  the  11th  Airborne  as  a  U.S. 
Army  paratrooper  in  addition  to 
serving  in  the  187th  Regimental 
Combat  Team. 

Graduating  with  an  associate 
degree  from  Wilmington  College 
was  another  important  experience. 
"Let  me  tell  you  about  Wilmington 
College,"  Barnes  began.  "Hour  for 
hour,  I  learned  more  at  Wilmington 
College  than  I  did  at  the  University 
of  North  Carolina  at  Chapel  Hill. 
Wilmington  College  was  an  out- 
standing school.  It  really  prepared 
me  well  for  my  third  and  fourth 
years  of  college."  Barnes  earned  a 
bachelor's  degree  in  political  science 
as  well  as  a  law  degree  from  Caro- 
lina. 

"I  ran  into  President  Randall 
after  I'd  been  at  Chapel  Hill  two 
years,"  Barnes  said.  "He  told  me, 


'Henson,  we're  going  to  have  to  put 
you  on  salary.  You've  been  the  best 
PR  we've  had.'  He  had  heard  from 
my  professors  at  UNC  that  I  was 
high  on  praise  for  Wilmington 
College." 

Job  opportunity  and  education 
are  essential  to  North  Carolina's 
livelihood,  as  Barnes  sees  it.  This 
translates  into  better  roads  and 
better  schools. 

The  Highway  Trust  Fund  bill, 
supported  by  Barnes,  was  passed  by 
the  General  Assembly  last  year.  "It 
is  the  largest  amount  of  money 
appropriated  for  building  roads  in 
the  history  of  North  Carolina,"  said 


"Every  year  I  have  served, 

I'm  convinced  of  the  validity  of 

the  system  of  democracy.  You're  not 

able  to  move  bills  fast,  but  it  was 
designed  that  way  for  public  input/' 


Barnes.  It  requires  52  percent  of  the 
new  roads  built  in  North  Carolina 
in  the  next  1 2  years  to  be  built  east 
of  Raleigh.  "We  need  roads  as  good 
as  those  in  the  Piedmont,"  he  said. 
"We're  last  in  wages  in  the  eastern 
part  of  the  state.  Good  roads  will 
bring  good  jobs." 

But  highway  construction  isn't 
the  only  answer  to  the  state's 
problems.  "To  progress,  education 
must  improve,"  Barnes  affirmed. 
"North  Carolina  is  too  good  to  be 
ranked  where  we  are  with  our  public 
schools.  We  have  some  of  the  finest 
colleges  and  universities  in  the 
entire  world.  It's  incongmous  that 
our  public  schools  are  ranked  last." 

As  one  solution  to  this  problem, 
Barnes  wrote  the  School  Account- 
ability Act  (Senate  Bill  2),  which 
calls  for  the  restructuring  of  schools 
and  the  transference  of  authority 
back  to  local  school  boards.  The  bill 
states  that,  "Any  school  system  that 


can  show  improvement  can  qualify 
for  differentiated  pay  for  teachers 
worth  up  to  seven  percent  of  their 
salaries,"  Barnes  said.  "This  will 
make  our  schools  accountable  and 
our  teachers  proud." 

Other  bills  that  Barnes  authored 
include  the  First  in  Flight  bill, 
legislation  that  created  the  license 
tags  depicting  the  Wright  Brothers' 
historic  plane  flight,  and  the  Driving 
While  Impaired  bill  passed  in  1983, 
that  increased  the  penalty  for  drunk 
driving.  "At  the  time  North 
Carolina  led  the  country  in  drunken 
driver  arrests  and  Governor  Hunt 
asked  me  to  run  the  DWI  bill,"  said 
Barnes.  As  a  result,  the  Tar  Heel 
state  passed  the  toughest 
drinking  law  in  the 
country  in  the  early  80s. 
Gearing  up  for  this 
year's  election  in 
November,  Barnes  will 
be  traveling  around  the 
district  meeting  folks.  "You 

must  get  a  good  cross-section  of 
people  involved  in  a  campaign. 
Then  the  word  gets  out,"  said 
Barnes.  "Too  many  times  we  try  to 
campaign  just  with  media  but  that's 
shallow  support.  You've  got  to  get 
out  and  let  folks  get  to  know  you." 

This  may  be  the  last  time  Barnes 
gears  up  for  a  campaign.  "I  expect 
after  this  term  I'll  probably  not  run 
for  the  Senate  again.  I'm  the  senior 
partner  in  a  five-man  law  firm  and  I 
own  a  blueberry  farm  in  Bladen 
County,"  he  said. 

While  his  service  in  the  Senate 
may  be  coming  to  a  close,  his  future 
chambers  may  be  in  the  courtroom 
and  the  berry  fields. 

Family  values  are  as  important 
as  political  values  to  Senator  Barnes. 
He  is  married  to  the  former  Kitty 
Allen.  They  have  two  daughters, 
Rebecca  and  Amy,  who  are  both 
third  year  law  students.  The 
Barneses  were  selected  as  United 
States  Family  of  the  Year  in  1985.

What  do  your  tuition  and  fee 
dollars  buy  at  UNCW? 

Your  "purchase"  includes  a 
student-centered  education,  a 
commitment  to  teaching,  fine 
research  facilities,  a  variety  of  clubs 
and  activities,  and  pleasant  places  to 
live  on  campus. 

"This  is  a  place  where  students 
come  first  at  all  levels,"  said  Chan- 
cellor James  R.  Leutze.  "From  the 
bookstore  to  the  athletic  programs 
to  the  library,  teaching  and  working 
with  students  is  our  reason  for  being 
here." 

Tuition  and  fees  cover  only  16 
percent  of  the  cost  of  a  UNCW 
education.  The  state  of  North 
Carolina  contributes  nearly  70 
percent,  and  approximately  14 
percent  is  comprised  of  gifts,  grants, 
contracts  and  other  sources. 

As  state  funds  become  increas- 
ingly scarce,  however,  private 
monies  will  become  more  important 
if  UNCW  is  to  retain  its  levels  of 
excellence.  The  UNCW  Board  of 
Trustees  confirmed  this  priority  by 
establishing  a  new  standing  trustee 
committee  on  university  advance- 
ment. This  committee  will  take  the 
lead  in  securing  and  coordinating 
the  search  for  private  dollars.  The 
UNCW  Foundation  and  Endow- 


ment currently  have  assets  of 
approximately  $5.9  million. 

"We  will  have  to  have  a  capital 
campaign  as  soon  as  possible  to 
increase  the  university's  endow- 
ment," said  Leutze.  A  capital 
campaign  is  an  organized  intensive 
fundraising  effort  to  secure  extraor- 
dinary gifts  and  pledges  for  a  specific 
purpose  during  a  specificed  period  of 
time.  The  endowment  consists  of 
donated  private  funds  that  are 
invested.  The  interest  earned  goes 
toward  programs  and  resources  that 
enhance  the  university.  Need-based 
and  merit-based  scholarships,  faculty 
development,  chaired  professorships, 
and  research  equipment  can  be 
funded  through  a  strong  endow- 
ment. 

This,  in  turn,  attracts  dedicated 
students  and  outstanding  faculty, 
and  enables  the  school  to  be  a 
positive  force  in  the  community. 
"As  we  prosper,  the  community 
prospers.  It's  a  symbiotic  relation- 
ship. We  co-exist  and  we  need  to 
work  very  closely  together,"  said 
Leutze. 

Investing  in  UNCW,  whether 
you're  a  parent,  student,  or  donor  is 
the  investment  of  a  lifetime.  Satis- 
faction guaranteed.  -A.R. 


Meet  The 

Co-chairs  Of 

Family  Weekend 

Carol  and  Michael  Rose  of 
Potomac,  Maryland,  have  always 
been  active,  involved  parents. 
They've  been  participants  in  their 
oldest  son  Marc's  high  school  soccer 
career,  for  instance,  shuttling  him  to 
games  and  helping  establish  a 
Washington,  D.C  area  regional 
tournament  for  college  recruiters. 
So  it  should  come  as  no  surprise, 
now  that  Marc  is  a  senior  and  soccer 
team  captain  at  UNCW,  that  they 
are  members  of  the  Parents  Council 
and  co-chairs  of  this  year's  Family 
Weekend. 

Carol  and  Michael  spend  many 
weekends  alternating  travel  between 
two  campuses.  Another  son  Greg  is 
a  junior  at  the  University  of  Maryland. 

Interest  in  their  sons'  achieve- 
ments is  something  they  hope  to 
bring  to  the  Parents  Council  and  to 
family  Weekend.  It  is  also  some- 
thing they  hope  is  contagious  among 
other  UNCW  Parents. 

"We've  always  been  involved 
parents  and  hope  to  channel  our 
interest  through  the  Parents  Coun- 
cil," said  Michael  Rose.  "With  other 
parents  doing  the  same,  we  can  all 
stay  a  little  closer  to  our  sons  and 
daughters  while,  hopefuly,  enriching 
their  college  experience  just  that 
much  more."

Many  of  you  have  received  "A

kingdom  of  Saudi  Arabia.  Now 
back  in  the  states,  Fipps  '71  and 
'75,  shares  some  of  his  experiences 
from  living  on  the  Persian  Gulf. 

"The  Saudi  people  are  ex- 
tremely hospitable.  I  was  always 
treated  well,"  he  said.  The  Saudis 
are  also  very  conservative,  adher- 
ing to  strict  Islamic  doctrine. 
Violators  of  the  Koran,  the  basis  of 
Islamic  law,  are  not  tolerated.  For 
example,  "Criminals  are  usually 
beheaded  the  next  day  for  capital 
offenses,"  said  Fipps. 

Several  Islamic  customs  were 
foreign  to  Fipps.  One  pronounced 
difference  was  the  treatment  of 
women  in  Saudi  society.  "Several 
times  I  was  invited  to  dinner  with 
Saudi  families.  I  ate  with  the 
father  and  sons.  The  wife  and 
daughters  were  not  allowed  to  sit 
at  the  table.  That  was  very  awk- 
ward," Fipps  said. 

In  addition,  the  nightlife  in 
Saudi  Arabia  was  quite  limited 
because  theaters,  bars,  and  night- 
clubs aren't  allowed.  Public 
entertainment  violates  the  Islamic 
country's  doctrine.  "Personal 
interaction  was  the  main  form  of 
entertainment,"  said  Fipps.  "Most 
of  my  friends  were  Americans 
working  in  Dhahran.  We'd  get 
together  and  watch  videos  or  just 
talk.  The  Westerners  didn't  mix 
much  with  the  Saudis  outside  of 
work  because  of  the  cultural 
differences.  At  the  heart  of  that 
was  the  Islamic  religion,"  said 
Fipps. 

Working  for  an  American 
CPA  firm  that  contracted  with 
Arabian  American  Oil  Company 
(ARAMCO),  Fipps  transferred 
from  Raleigh,  N.C.  to  Dhahran  in 
1980  to  run  ARAMCO's  financial 
audit.  He  left  the  firm  in  1982  and 
went  to  work  for  the  OLAYAN 


GROUP,  one  of  the  wealthiest 
family-owned  corporations  in 
Saudi  Arabia.  After  working  with 
them  for  six  years,  he  left  the 
company  in  1988  to  return  to  the 
States. 

In  May  1990,  Fipps  rejoined 
the  OLAYAN  GROUP.  He  is 
currently  financial  vice  president 
of  Crescent  Diversified,  Ltd.,  an 
equity  investment  company  of  the 
OLAYAN  GROUP,  and  lives  in 
New  York  City.  "I'm  responsible 
for  financial  accounting  and 
reporting  as  well  as  treasury 
operations,"  Fipps  said. 


"I  learned  I  was  a  typical 

American  who  knew 

nothing  about  the  world 

and  the  Middle  East.  In 

contrast,  I  think  the  Saudis 

understood  Westerners 

quite  well." 

Elaborating  on  the  living 
standards  in  Saudi  Arabia,  Fipps 
said  it  ranged  from  either  extreme. 
There  are  the  superwealthy,  such 
as  the  royal  family,  professional 
people,  such  as  Western-educated 
doctors  and  lawyers,  and  the  lower 
class  which  includes  many  small 
business  owners.  And  about  100 
miles  outside  of  any  major  city 
many  Arabs  live  very  simply  in 
villages,  much  as  they  did  years 
ago. 

The  rest  of  the  population  is 
made  up  of  internationals.  "A  lot 


of  the  ordinary  labor  is  imported 
labor,"  Fipps  said.  With  an  esti- 
mated native  population  of  about 
seven  million,  Saudi  Arabia  relies 
on  as  many  as  five  million  foreign- 
ers to  form  its  industrial  base. 

"With  all  of  their  oil  money, 
the  Saudis  can  afford  to  bring  in 
labor  from  all  over  the  world  to  do 
the  "menial"  tasks  like  collecting 
garbage  or  working  as  tradesmen," 
said  Fipps.  Many  other  highly 
skilled  internationals  come  to 
Saudi  Arabia  to  take  upper  level 
jobs  and  to  avoid  paying  income 
taxes.  As  a  result,  the  Saudi  labor 
force  is  made  up  of  many  nationali- 
ties. 

Asked  how  the  Saudis  viewed 
their  royal  rulers,  Fipps  said,  "They 
wouldn't  normally  talk  about  their 
feelings  toward  their  government. 
I  think  King  Fahd,  the  head  of 
state,  was  popular  overall."  He 
added  that  Saudi  Arabia  is  home 
to  many  tribes  or  clans  and  that 
the  views  of  the  strongest  clan 
prevail.  "The  Sunni  Moslem  sect  is 
in  control  now,"  said  Fipps.  They 
favor  a  return  to  Islamic  funda- 
mentals but  aren't  fanatic  in  their 
beliefs  like  members  of  some  other 
Muslim  sects. 

Living  in  Saudi  Arabia  was  a 
real  learning  experience  for  Fipps. 
"I  learned  I  was  a  typical  Ameri- 
can who  knew  nothing  about  the 
world  and  the  Middle  East.  In 
contrast,  I  think  the  Saudis 
understood  Westerners  quite  well. 

"It  was  a  very  broadening 
experience.  Being  there  gave  me  a 
much  wider  perspective  of  the 
world  and  what's  going  on.  In  the 
U.S.  everything's  based  on  one 
culture.  But  in  Saudi  Arabia  I 
could  be  talking  with  a  Saudi  one 
minute,  someone  from  London  the 
next,  and  a  few  minutes  later  with 
someone  from  Japan  or  Lebanon."

ACADEMICS 
PLUS  ATHLETICS 

EQUALS  SUCCESS 


by  Ben  Trittipoe 

UNCW  Sports  Information  Intern 


Over  the  years,  collegiate 
athletes  have  gained  the  reputation 
of  being  less  than  stellar  in  the 
classroom.  The  image  of  the  "dumb 
jock"  is  quite  prominent  today  and, 
in  some  situations,  quite  true. 

That  is  not  the  case,  however,  at 
UNC  Wilmington.  More  than  70 
percent  of  Seahawk  athletes  gradu- 
ate within  five  years.  This  places 
them  at  the  top  of  the  UNC 
system's  graduation  rate,  according 
to  the  last  two  UNC  Board  of 
Governors  reports.  Nearly  46 
percent  of  all  undergraduate  students 
in  North  Carolina's  public  universi- 
ties graduate  in  five  years  and  26.5 
percent  graduate  in  four  years. 
UNCW  student  athletes  also 
consistently  rank  among  the  top 
three  schools  in  the  Colonial 
Athletic  Association  in  graduation 
rate. 

The  student-athlete  at  UNC 
Wilmington  understands  that 
academics  come  first  and  sports  are 
secondary  to  their  college  experi- 
ence. The  coaches  and  athletic 
administrators  do  everything  they 
can  to  help  the  athlete  excel  in  the 

FALL    90 


classroom. 

In  the  UNCW  Athletic 
Department  Policies  and  Procedures 
Manual,  it  is  written  that  the 
department  is  "concerned  first  with 
the  academic  endeavors  of  the 
'student'  before  the  athletic  accom- 
plishments of  the  'athlete' . .  .  The 
academic  and  athletic  successes  of 
each  student-athlete  are  positive 
results  of  the  department  providing  a 
balance  of  academic  guidance  and 
athletic  development." 

Pat  Howey,  assistant  athletic 
director  for  academics  and  compli- 
ance, oversees  a  broad  system  that 
works  to  keep  student-athletes  on 
target  for  graduation.  Howey  works 
closely  with  each  coach  and  helps 
them  monitor  each  player's  progress 
in  class. 

"Each  (athletic)  team  is  charged 
with  monitoring  study  halls  and  the 
academic  success  of  the  players,  but 
there  is  a  lot  of  teamwork  between 
them  and  me,"  said  Howey.  "The 
coaches  know  the  players  better 
than  anyone  and  they  can  tell  how 
an  individual  is  doing.  I  help  by 
making  sure  each  athlete  is  enrolled 


in  enough  hours  to  maintain  his  or 
her  eligibility  and  see  that  they  are 
making  progress  toward  a  degree." 

The  university's  minimum 
academic  standards  must  be  met  by 
all  athletes.  They  must  maintain  a 
1.2  grade  point  average  with  6-26 
hours  attempted,  a  1 .5  GPA  with 
27-58  hours,  a  1.8  GPA  with  59-88 
hours,  and  a  2.0  GPA  with  more 
than  89  hours.  Players  are  expected 
to  participate  in  team  study  halls 
until  they  prove  they  can  maintain  a 
certain  GPA  on  their  own. 

Chancellor  Leutze,  an  adilete 
himself  at  Syracuse  University, 
believes  that  academics  and  athletics 
can  live  in  harmony  on  a  collegiate 
campus  as  long  as  one  thing  is 
stressed:  academics  come  first. 

"I  truly  believe  in  the  concept  of 
the  student-athlete,  where  the 
student  comes  first,"  said  Leutze.  "It's 
important  not  to  take  advantage  of 
the  student-athlete,  using  him  or  her 
only  for  athletics,  because  without  a 
degree,  he  or  she  is  being  short- 
changed. 

"I  support  a  strong  athletic 
program  that  goes  hand  in  hand 


FALL    90 


with  a  solid  learning  environment, 
and  you  need  a  good  support  system 
in  order  to  have  that.  We're  just 
kidding  ourselves  if  we  think  an 
athlete  won't  sometimes  need 
special  assistance.  It's  a  big  job,  but 
the  university  needs  to  help  where 
appropriate." 

Men's  soccer  coach  Jackie 
Blackmore,  who  personally  super- 
vises a  mandatory  twice-weekly 
study  hall  for  freshmen  and  athletes 
with  minimum  averages,  emphasizes 
education  over  sports.  "The  most 
important  thing  for  these  players  is 
to  get  their  priorities  in  order,"  said 
Blackmore,  who  is  in  his  fifth  year  as 
coach  of  his  alma  mater. 

"In  order  to  be  a  success,  you 
have  to  set  aside  time  to  study.  The 
biggest  problem  freshmen  have 
when  they  come  to  college  is  that 
they  have  a  great  deal  of  freedom, 
which  they  are  not  accustomed  to.  If 
they  learn  early  what  is  important 
and  learn  how  to  structure  their 
time,  they  can  be  successful  both 
academically  and  athletically." 

New  women's  basketball  coach 
Sheni  Tynes  agrees  with  Blackmore. 
"Learning  to  discipline  themselves 
and  how  to  manage  their  time  are 
two  of  the  biggest  things  students 
need  to  learn  when  they  first  go  to 
college,"  said  Tynes.  She  requires  all 
freshmen  and  those  players  with  low 
GPAs  to  attend  weekly  study  halls. 
"If  they  can  learn  to  do  those  two 
things  well,  they  will  be  successful  in 
college." 

Tynes  added  that  the  women's 
basketball  team  misses  few  classes. 
When  on  the  road,  she  makes  sure 
that  time  is  reserved  for  study 
purposes.  "I  know  a  study  hall  in 
Hanisonburg,  Va.  is  not  the  same  as 
sitting  in  class  in  Wilmington,  but 
we'll  try  to  give  them  all  the  help  we 
can,"  she  said. 

Men's  basketball  coach  Kevin 
Eastman,  also  new  on  campus  this 
year,  said  the  athletic  admin- 
istration's commitment  to  academics 


was  one  reason  the  UNCW  job  was 
so  attractive  to  him. 

"Our  administration  is  commit- 
ted to  graduating  our  athletes  and  so 
am  I,"  said  Eastman.  He  noted  that 
freshmen  and  also  all  players  with  a 
GPA  lower  than  2.5  will  be  required 
to  spend  time  in  study  hall.  "I 
believe  we  can  be  successful  by  not 
breaking  the  rules  and  having 
players  graduate.  It  bothers  me  more 
having  to  make  a  call  to  a  parent 
after  four  or  five  years  and  tell  them 
their  son  won't  graduate  than  it 
would  to  lose  three  or  four  more 
games  a  year." 

Last  spring,  the  athletic  depart- 
ment gave  the  student-athlete  more 
help.  Athletic  Director  William  J. 
Brooks  and  the  General  College 
Advising  Center  each  made  avail- 
able $  1 ,000  to  establish  tutorial 
services  specifically  for  athletes, 
which  supplemented  the  Math  Lab 
and  Writing  Place  services  available 
to  all  students.  This  new  tutorial 
service,  headed  by  Assistant  Dean  of 
Arts  and  Sciences  John  Stokes, 
enabled  student-athletes  to  obtain 
help  with  classes  they  were  having 
difficulty  with.  "I  think  the  program 
was  a  big  success,"  said  Brooks. 

This  fall,  the  advising  center  is 
making  available  a  two-tape  set 
entitled  Where  There's  a  Will, 
There's  an  A.  Each  hour-long  tape 
makes  common-sense  suggestions  on 
how  to  improve  study  habits  and 
test-taking  skills. 

"Those  who  have  used  the  tapes 
in  the  past  and  followed  through  on 
what  they  had  to  recommend  have 
had  pretty  good  success,"  said 
Stokes.  "We  hope  the  athletes  will 
do  as  well." 

Academic  success  does  not  go 
unrewarded.  UNCW  awards  the 
Chancellor's  Cup  annually  to  the 
outstanding  male  and/or  female 
student-athlete  graduates.  Each 
recipient  must  be  among  the  top  in 
his  or  her  class  academically, 
possessing  at  least  ,i  5.0  GPA,  and 


must  be  a  top  athlete,  bringing 
outstanding  recognition  to  the 
university. 

The  UNCW  coaches  vote  on 
the  nominees  and  a  recommenda- 
tion is  sent  to  the  chancellor  for 
approval.  Last  year's  recipients  were 
tennis  player  Mark  Kinkema,  now  a 
graduate  marine  biology  student  at 
the  University  of  Michigan,  and 
golfer  Mary  Thomas,  who  plans  to 
work  in  marine  biology  at  Sea 
World  in  Florida. 

Student-athletes  are  also 
recognized  within  the  conference.  A 
lettering  athlete  with  a  cumulative 
or  two-semester  GPA  of  3.2  or 
better  is  named  a  CAA  Scholar 
Athlete  and  is  presented  a  certificate 
of  accomplishment.  Twenty-two 
Seahawk  athletes  received  that 
honor  for  the  1989-90  academic 
year. 

The  College  Sports  Information 
Directors  of  America  (CoSIDA),  in 
conjunction  with  telephone  mag- 
nate GTE,  issues  Academic  All- 
America  recognition.  Athletes  who 
are  starters  or  key  reserves  for  their 
teams  with  at  least  a  3.2  cumulative 
GPA  are  nominated,  then  voted  on 
by  the  CoSIDA  membership. 
Baseball  players  Paul  Mun  and 
Calvin  Ganett  were  first-team 
selections  in  1982  and  1987  respec- 
tively. Ganett,  the  Chancellor's  Cup 
recipient  in  1987,  was  a  second- 
team  player  the  year  before. 

Various  coaching  organizations 
also  recognize  athletes  for  their 
academic  achievements.  Goiters 
Mary  Thomas  and  Nina  Van  Drumpt 
have  each  been  selected  Academic 
All-America  by  the  U.S.  Golf 
Coaches  Association  in  recent  years. 

Greg  Bender,  a  three-time  CAA 
Scholar  Athlete  in  men's  basketball, 
was  the  Chancellor's  Cup  awardee 
in  1989  in  addition  to  being  nomi- 
nated tor  the  prestigious  Rhodes 
Scholar  program. 

Academics  and  athletics  - 
UNCW  has  the  best  of  both.

The  Welcome  Wagon  of  the 
1990s  may  need  to  have  sushi, 
salsa,  and  sangria  in  its  gift  basket 
and  be  versed  in  1 3  languages  it 
it's  to  properly  greet  newcomers  to 
the  neighborhood.  With  the 
explosion  of  technology  and  world 
trade,  our  neighbors  today  aren't 
just  the  people  next  door,  but  are 
the  people  in  the  next  hemisphere 
or  continent. 

If  UNCW  is  to  be  a  good 
neighbor  and  participate  in  the 
world  community,  it's  imperative 
that  the  university  learn  all  it  can 
about  other  cultures.  Economic, 
social  and  political  survival  are  at 
stake.  "We  really  don't  have  a 
choice.  We  can't  sit  back  or  we'll 
be  left  behind,"  said  Denis  Carter, 
associate  dean  of  the  Cameron 


School  of  Business  Administration 
and  an  advisory  council  member 
for  UNCW's  International  Pro- 
grams. 

UNCW  is  becoming  globally 
involved  through  the  concerted 
efforts  of  the  Office  of  Interna- 
tional Programs.  Established  in 
July  1989,  OIP  is  responsible  for 
developing  study  abroad  agree- 
ments. The  programs'  objectives 
include  modifying  UNCW's 
existing  curricula  to  encompass 
non-Western  and  global  issues, 
offering  a  major  in  international 
studies,  creating  minors  that  focus 
on  geographic  areas  such  as 
Europe,  Latin  American,  or  the 
Middle  East,  and  establishing 
student  and  faculty  exchanges 
with  universities  around  the  world. 


"It's  important  that  students 
and  faculty  have  contact  with 
individuals  from  other  societies 
and  cultures  because  it  gives  them 
the  opportunity  to  learn  new  ways 
of  doing  things.  It's  a  mind- 
opening  experience,"  said  Gary 
Faulkner,  director  of  UNCW's 
Office  of  International  Programs 
and  assistant  dean  in  the  College 
of  Arts  and  Sciences.  "Chances  are 
that  our  graduates  will  work  for 
organizations  that  have  a  global 
scope  so  global  knowledge  is 
extremely  important." 

Twenty-two  international 
students  are  enrolled  at  UNCW 
this  semester  and  come  from  such 
homelands  as  Kenya,  Venezuela, 
the  People's  Republic  of  China, 
Jordan,  and  Sweden.  At  the  same

time,  some  UNCW  students  are 
overseas.  One  UNCW  junior, 
Julea  Harless,  is  studying  at 
University  College  of  Swansea  in 
Swansea,  Wales,  and  two  MBA 
graduates,  Jim  and  Rene  Mueller, 
are  enrolled  at  Leicester  Polytech- 
nic in  England. 

"Being  from  North  Carolina  or 
the  United  States  you  don't  get 
any  international  perspective," 
said  Harless.  "By  going  to  school 
in  Wales  I'll  learn  about  Europe, 
about  how  different  people  live, 
and  about  different  cultures." 

"We'll  be  concentrating  our 
studies  on  the  economic  and 
political  changes  in  Eastern 
Europe,"  said  Jim  Mueller.  "I 
anticipate  important  political  and 
economic  changes  in  the  European 
Community  1992  and  great 
opportunities  for  American 
businesses,"  Rene  Mueller  said. 
"The  more  we  can  learn  about  the 
changes  in  Europe  the  better  for 
the  U.S.  economy." 

The  international  students  at 
our  campus  are  excited  about  their 
learning  opportunities  too.  Marie 
Capecchi,  a  citizen  of  Venezuela, 
is  studying  seaweed  propagation 
techniques  in  the  marine  biology 
graduate  program  at  UNCW.  "My 
goal  is  to  do  joint  research  be- 
tween the  United  States  and 
Venezuela,"  she  said.  After  being 
here  three  months,  Capecchi  finds 
the  environment  and  the  people 
very  nice.  "I  look  forward  to  seeing 
the  differences  between  where  I 
live  and  here." 

George  Malahias,  a  freshman 
from  Zimbabwe,  plans  to  pursue  a 
degree  in  music  at  UNCW.  "Our 
university  back  in  Zimbabwe  isn't 
as  advanced  as  UNCW.  The 
facilities  here  are  good.  Back  home 
we're  faced  with  shortages  and  a 
lack  of  foreign  exchange,"  he  said. 
George  lives  with  a  family  in 
Wilmington  while  he  attends 
school. 


Raymond  Oluoch,  a  freshman 
accounting  major  from  Kenya,  is 
impressed  with  how  friendly  the 
people  are  in  Wilmington.  He 
smiled  when  asked  about  some  of 
the  questions  put  to  him  about  his 
country  like,  "Do  you  wear  clothes 
in  Kenya?"  and  "Do  you  live  in  a 
city?"  Oluoch  comes  from  Nairobi, 
the  modern  capital  city  of  Kenya 
with  a  population  of  835,000. 

Jim  McNab,  chair  of  the 
Department  of  Foreign  Languages 
and  Literature  and  member  of 
UNCW's  International  Programs 
Advisory  Council,  sees  a  lot  that 
the  university  can  do  to  enhance 
the  international  presence  on 
campus  and  the  level  of  awareness 

"I'd  like  to  see  half  of 

our  students  have  an 

international  experience  in 

their  college  careers  and 

at  least  five  percent  of  the 

faculty  teaching,  studying, 

or  doing  research  abroad 

in  any  one  year." 

of  world  affairs.  "We've  got  to 
increase  the  number  of  interna- 
tional cultural  events  on  campus. 
The  continuing  education  compo- 
nent has  to  develop  tremen- 
dously," McNab  said. 

This  includes  mini-courses, 
institutes,  and  summer-intensive 
courses  of  interest  to  the  non- 
traditional  learner.  Examples 
would  be  classes  in  international 
trade  for  regional  business  execu- 
tives or  a  course  in  Japanese 
culture  for  people  planning  to  visit 
or  move  to  Japan.  "These  courses 
would  serve  as  community  out- 
reach programs  and  could  be  the 
line  through  which  graduate 
programs  or  planning  are  di- 
rected," said  McNab. 

Particular  issues  that  need  to 


be  addressed  by  the  Office  of 
International  Programs  include 
increasing  the  number  of  interna- 
tional students  at  UNCW,  teach- 
ing English  as  a  second  language, 
and  offering  more  courses  in 
interdisciplinary  studies.  These  are 
courses  that  are  designed  to  draw 
from  a  variety  of  discrete  subjects. 
"Our  environmental  studies 
program  at  UNCW  is  an  excellent 
example  of  an  interdisciplinary 
program  already  in  place.  We  need 
to  extend  that  concept  to  the 
humanities  and  social  sciences. 

"Ten  years  from  now  I  see  a 
curriculum  in  which  the  interna- 
tional component  is  required  of  all 
our  students  and  I  see  20  to  30 
percent  of  our  students  spending  at 
least  one  semester  abroad,"  said 
McNab. 

Faulkner  is  even  more  ambi- 
tious. "I'd  like  to  see  half  of  our 
students  have  an  international 
experience  in  their  college  career 
and  at  least  five  percent  of  the 
faculty  teaching,  studying,  or 
doing  research  abroad  in  any  one 
year."  Faulkner  added,  "If  a  uni- 
versity has  an  active  and  viable 
international  program,  10  percent 
of  the  student  body  ought  to  be 
made  up  of  international  students. 
That  means  700  for  UNCW  - 
that's  adventurous.  I'd  be  happy 
with  400!" 

The  spin-off  of  the  interna- 
tional dimension  at  UNCW  would 
benefit  the  community  as  well. 
"We'd  like  to  have  arrangements 
for  students  to  live  with  families 
and  to  encourage  our  international 
students  to  become  active  in  the 
community,"  said  Faulkner.  It's  all 
a  matter  of  reaching  out. 

With  the  emphasis  on  interna- 
tional study,  UNCW  is  beginning 
to  explore  new  territory.  "It's  a 
good  time  to  be  at  UNCW,"  said 
McNab. -A.R.

PRE-G  AME  SOCIALS 

The  UNCW  Alumni  Associa- 
tion will  host  four  pre-game  socials 
during  the  1990-91  basketball 
season.  Many  local  supporters, 
faculty,  staff,  and  friends  of  the 
university  attend  these  socials.  Each 
function  costs  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion approximately  $3,000. 

After  much  discussion  with  our 
most  consistent  supporters,  the 


Alumni  Association  Board  of 
Directors  voted  to  charge  an 
admission  fee  to  the  pre-game  socials 
beginning  this  year.  This  will 
provide  funds  to  cover  the  costs 
rather  than  using  alumni  donations 
raised  during  the  year. 

Non-members  will  pay  $5.00 
per  person.  An  active  alumnus  with 
a  membership  card  will  pay  half 
price  or  full  price  plus  one  free  guest. 

An  active  alumnus  with  a 
membership  card  and  gold  seal  will 
be  admitted  free  with  one  guest. 
Active  alumni  who  contribute  $100 
or  more  annually  to  the  association 
receive  a  gold  seal  on  their  member- 
ship cards. 

Guests  in  addition  to  those 
mentioned  above  will  pay  $5.00  per 
person.  Children  under  1 2  are 
admitted  free.

PRELUDE 


As  we  enter  the  decade  of  the  90s,  we  face  new  challenges  in  higher 
education.  Everywhere  you  look  changes  are  taking  place.  Changing  demo- 
graphics are  impacting  enrollment  patterns;  restricted  resources  are  prompting 
expanded  cooperation  between  all  levels  of  education;  heightened  competition 
in  the  world  marketplace  requires  turning  out  graduates  with  good  basic 
education  skills  who  will  be  prepared  for  a  lifetime  of  learning.  Adaptability  is 
the  key  to  survival  in  the  new  age  and  here  at  UNCW  we  are  placing  this 
institution  in  the  vanguard  of  the  education  movement. 

This  university  is  in  the  process  of  examining  its  image  and  determining 
how  it  can  best  serve  its  publics.  We  are  developing  new  programs  to  cultivate 
national  and  international  relationships.  More  evening  classes  are  being  offered 
to  accommodate  the  educational  needs  of  working  students  and  retired  people, 
and  to  make  better  use  of  our  facilities.  We  are  conducting  national  searches 
for  an  athletic  director  and  a  vice  chancellor  for  the  Division  of  University 
Advancement  to  ensure  we  retain  people  with  the  highest  qualifications  who 
can  take  us  confidently  into  the  future. 

In  April,  we  will  host  a  two-day  symposium  on  the  reformation  of  public 
education  and  work  force  preparedness.  Leaders  in  school  reform  will  address 
the  state  of  public  education  at  the  local,  state  and  national  levels. 

UNCW  is  called  to  serve  people  in  their  search  for  knowledge.  We  must 
endeavor  to  be  a  purposeful,  accessible  learning  community  that  meets  all 
students'  needs  as  we  strive  to  become  a  true  regional  force  in  the  Southeastern 
United  States.

Social  History 

A  book  by  UNCW  assistant 
professor  of  history,  Michael 
Seidman,  has  been  published  by  the 
University  of  California  Press. 
Workers  against  Work:  Labor  in 
Paris  and  Barcelona  during  the 
Popular  Fronts  (1936-38)  is  a 
comparative  social  history  of  the 
Spanish  Revolution  in  Barcelona 
and  the  French  Popular  Front  in 
Paris.  The  book  examines  why  a 
workers'  revolution  occurred  in 
Spain  and  not  in  France  in  1936.  It 
also  looks  at  the  strengths  and 
weaknesses  of  the  working  classes  in 
Paris  and  Barcelona. 

Seidman  joined  the  UNCW 
History  Department  in  fall  1990  as  a 
specialist  in  French  history.  He  has 
traveled  and  studied  extensively  in 
Europe. 

Humanities  Fellow 

Jon  Huer,  associate  professor  of 
sociology  and  anthropology  at 
UNCW,  has  been  named  an 
Appalachian  Humanities  Fellow  for 
a  yearlong  appointment.  He  was 
one  of  20  fellows  named  this  year. 
The  fellows  will  participate  in 
several  seminars  and  presentations 
centered  around  the  theme,  "The 
Springtime  of  Nations,"  that  deal 
with  developments  in  Eastern 
Europe. 

Huer  plans  to  write  a  book  on 
recent  events  in  Eastern  Europe  with 
particular  emphasis  on  how  the 
American  model  of  government 
compares  to  governments  of  coun- 
tries that  are  rejecting  communism. 

Economic  Indicators 

UNCW  economics  professors 
Claude  Farrell  and  William  W. 
Hall,  Jr.  have  developed  an  ex- 
panded set  of  economic  indicators 


for  Brunswick,  New  Hanover,  and 
Pender  counties.  This  is  in  conjunc- 
tion with  their  work  in  the  business 
school's  Center  for  Business  and 
Economics  Services. 

The  indicators  are  indexes  that 
compare  the  cunent  level  of  eco- 
nomic activity  in  these  counties 
with  the  average  level  in  1982.  This 
expanded  information  is  valuable  to 
public  officials  and  business  owners 
who  are  planning  for  the  future 
growth  and  development  of  South- 
eastern North  Carolina. 

HONORS 

Crime  Prevention 

The  UNCW  Campus  Police 
Department  has  been  awarded 
"Superior  Achievement  in  Crime 
Prevention"  by  the  Office  of  the 
Governor  and  the  Department  of 
Crime  Control  and  Public  Safety 
Crime  Prevention  Division.  The 
award  is  one  of  five  presented 
annually  to  city,  county,  and  campus 
law  enforcement  agencies.  UNCW 
is  the  only  campus  police  depart- 
ment in  North  Carolina  to  receive 
the  distinction  twice. 

Officer  Hunter  Davis  accepted 
the  award  on  behalf  of  the  depart- 
ment. He  also  received  an  indi- 
vidual award  for  "Outstanding 
Achievement  in  Crime  Prevention". 

Davis  has  been  with  the 
UNCW  campus  police  since  1987 
when  he  started  as  a  student  security 
guard.  In  1989,  he  became  a  police 
officer  and  progressed  to  the  crime 
prevention  officer  position  he 
currently  holds. 


Alternatives! 

UNC  Wilmington's  drug  and 
alcohol  abuse  prevention  program, 
Alternatives!,  has  been  recognized 
for  its  outstanding  efforts  in  die  tight 
against  dnig  and  alcohol  abuse.  It  is 


the  only  college  program  to  be 
honored  this  year  by  the  North 
Carolina  Alcoholic  Beverage  Con- 
trol Commission  and  the  Governor's 
Highway  Safety  Program. 

Accepting  the  award  were 
Diane  Reichard,  acting  coordinator 
of  Alternatives!,  and  Christine 
Stump  and  Heather  Houston, 
UNCW  students  and  Alternatives! 
peer  educators. 

Student  Affairs 

Richard  H.  Mullendore, 

UNCW  associate  vice  chancellor 
for  student  affairs,  has  been  elected 
to  a  two-year  term  as  president  of 
the  National  Orientation  Directors 
Association  (NODA).  NODA 
focuses  on  developing  successful 
student  orientation  programs  and 
implementing  national  orientation 
standards.  The  groups's  objective  is 
to  assist  students  in  their  transition 
to  college  life  and  to  improve 
student  retention  rates. 

Mathematical  Sciences 

Maria  Blanton,  graduate  student 
in  mathematics  at  UNCW,  has  been 
awarded  the  Sylvia  and  B.D. 
Schwart:  Graduate  Fellowship  for 
academic  year  1990-91.  The 
nomination  letter  submitted  in  her 
behalf  by  the  Mathematical  Sci- 
ences Department  cited  Blanton's 
excellent  grades  and  first-rate 
performance  as  a  graduate  student  in 
addition  to  her  superb  performance 
in  teaching  introductory  mathemat- 
ics and  tutoring  students.  Blanton  is 
the  fourth  recipient  of  the  Schwart: 
Fellowship,  established  in  1987  to 
provide  a  grant  equal  to  resident 
tuition  and  fees  for  the  full  academic 
year.  This  is  the  first  graduate 
fellowship  to  be  established  at  UNC 
Wilmington.

How  do  we  look? 

Are  students  and  faculty  attracted  tons? 

UNCW has  a  date  with  the  future. 


UNCW  is  at  a  turning  point  in 
its  career.  The  school's  priorities  are 
being  reassessed  in  the  face  of  new 
challenges.  Its  institutional  image  is 
being  examined  to  determine  how 
best  to  define,  develop,  and  market 
the  university. 

"We're  pulling  together  a  group 
of  individuals  from  the  university 
and  the  community  to  look  at  our 
marketability,"  said  Chancellor 
James  R.  Leutze.  "We  need  to  know 
what  our  cunent  image  is,  what 
image  we  want  to  project,  and  how 
to  increase  our  visibility.  We  need 
to  find  out  what  people  think  about 
us." 

One  reason  for  increasing 
UNCW's  visibility  and  enhancing 
its  academic  curriculum  is  student 
retention.  "Recent  studies  show 
that  students  like  to  stay  at  schools 
that  are  well-known  and  that  have 
strong  academic  reputations,"  said 
Chancellor  Leutze.  "Part  of  this  has 
to  do  with  their  friends  having  a 
positive  impression  of  where  they 
attend  school." 

Recruiting  faculty  is  another 
reason  for  strengthening  UNCW's 


institutional  image.  "It  will  become 
increasingly  difficult  to  attract  and 
retain  outstanding  faculty  with  the 
graying'  of  the  professoriat,"  said 
Chancellor  Leutze.  "In  this  market 
UNCW  has  to  work  harder  to 
attract  professors  from  a  shrinking 


"We  need  to  know  what 

our  current  image  is,  what 

image  we  want  to  project, 

and  how  to  increase  our 

visibility.  We  need  to  find 

out  what  people  think 

about  us." 

pool. 

"We  also  hope  that  as  we 
become  more  visible,  more  people  in 
Southeastern  North  Carolina  will 
seek  out  the  university,"  said  Leutze. 

Improving  the  university's 
outreach  services  in  the  region  will 
be  a  direct  result  of  increased 
visibility.  "We  want  to  be  accessible 
and  to  provide  support  for  the  public 


schools,  community  colleges,  and 
government  agencies  in  the  region," 
Chancellor  Leutze  said.  For  exam- 
ple, he's  proposed  that  the  university 
serve  in  the  role  of  facilitator  for 
planning  in  Southeastern  N.C.  for 
the  year  2010.  UNCW  would 
provide  the  desired  expertise, 
counsel,  and  technical  support  in 
planning  for  such  areas  as  industrial 
development,  education,  and  marine 
and  coastal  management,  he  said. 
"Twenty  years  is  just  one  generation 
away." 

Promoting  the  university  has  a 
lot  of  other  benefits.  It  would 
generate  a  variety  of  subsidiary 
activities,  according  to  Chancellor 
Leutze.  These  include  funding  for 
faculty  to  attend  conferences  and  to 
bring  distinction  to  the  university, 
hosting  events  at  UNCW  that  bring 
favorable  attention  to  the  university, 
and  publicizing  the  school's  excep- 
tional programs  that  are  already  in 
place. 

UNCW  will  be  50  years  old  in 
1997  and  is  poised  to  pursue  new 
paths  of  education  excellence.

word  out  about  the  latest  trends  and 
styles. 

"If  people  can't  come  to  New 
York  to  see  the  latest  in  fashion, 
we'll  bring  fashion  to  them,"  said 
Crook.  She  books  shows  through- 
out the  country  that  spotlight  the 
newest  lines  of  clothing,  accessories 
and  cosmetics.  In  turn,  the  manu- 
facturers of  these  items  donate 
samples  and  door  prizes  to  be  given 
away  at  the  shows  in  addition  to 
buying  advertising  space  in  Made- 
moiselle. "The  ads  sell  the  maga- 
zine," Crook  said. 

The  continued  success  of  these 
on-location  events  makes  Mademoi- 
selle unique.  "These  shows  are  the 
longest  ninning  promotional  events 
of  any  of  the  fashion  magazines.  We 
started  doing  these  in  1973,"  said 
Crook. 

One  of  the  highlights  of  a 
Mademoiselle  fashion  show  is  the 
"makeover"  session.  Volunteers 
from  the  audience  are  selected  tor 
hair  and  cosmetic  makeovers.  "It's 
really  neat  when  we  do  the 
makeovers  and  get  feedback  from 
the  women.  They  tell  us  how  we've 
boosted  their  confidence  and  self- 
esteem.  It's  great  to  know  that 
we've  made  them  feel  better  about 
themselves."  Some  of  these  women 
are  then  photographed  and  featured 
in  an  issue  of  Mademoiselle. 

Working  on  location  requires  a 
team  effort.  Crook  and  her  six  co- 
workers are  responsible  for  lining  up 
the  models  and  seeing  that  they 
have  all  the  clothes  and  accessories 
they  need.  The  merchandising  staff

also  sees  that  the  music,  banners, 
and  props  are  delivered  and  the 
advertisements  for  each  event  are 
run  in  the  appropriate  issues  of 
Mademoiselle  and  other  media. 

"Normally  we'll  send  two  editors 
to  commentate  at  the  show,  a  stylist 
to  choose  the  clothes  and  accesso- 
ries, a  hair  stylist,  a  makeup  person, 
and  a  photographer."  The  models 
are  often  hired  from  local  agencies. 

Crook,  a  1989  UNCW  graduate 
with  a  degree  in  marketing,  has 
always  wanted  to  work  for  a  maga- 
zine. During  the  summer  of  1988, 
she  met  with  a  publisher  in  New 
York  who  gave  her  some  leads.  She 
followed  these  up  and  landed  a  job 
as  senior  sales  assistant  in  September 
1989  at  Town  and  Country,  an 
upscale  lifestyle  magazine. 

In  this  position,  Crook  was 
responsible  for  gathering  statistics 
about  the  magazine's  target  audi- 
ence, affluent  men  and  women  ages 
40  and  older.  In  addition,  she  acted 
as  a  liaison  between  the  sales  staff, 
the  production  department,  and  the 
marketing  staff.  "Together  we 
determined  the  appearance  order  of 
ads  in  the  magazine,"  said  Crook. 
Advertisers  who  committed  sizable 
amounts  of  money  to  the  magazine 
and  whose  ads  ran  frequently  were 
able  to  designate  which  pages  would 
carry  their  ads.  "My  experience  at 
Town  and  Country  was  a  great  way 
to  see  how  a  magazine  runs  from  the 
inside  out,"  Crook  said. 

Crook  joined  Mademoiselle's 
merchandising  staff  a  year  later. 
"Most  people  come  here  from  a 


fashion  background,  but  I  was 
interested  in  the  business  aspect," 
she  said.  Crook  and  her  colleagues 
market  the  magazine  to  young 
women  between  the  ages  of  18  and 
34  who  are  career  oriented,  single, 
and  have  disposable  incomes.  "Now 
I'm  able  to  really  get  involved  in 
promoting  a  magazine  by  working 
with  marketing  proposals  and 
working  with  a  particular  store's 
merchandise."  She  also  gets  to  do 
some  traveling.  "I  really  like  being 
on  the  outside,"  she  said. 

Moving  to  the  Big  Apple  was  a 
big  step  for  Crook,  a  long-time 
Wilmington  resident.  "I  began  to 
realize  that  I  had  to  look  out  for 
myself,  I  had  to  meet  the  right 
people  and  prove  myself  if  I  wanted 
to  succeed,"  she  said.  "I  was  deter- 
mined to  work  for  a  magazine." 

Life  in  Manhattan  took  some 
adjusting  to  also.  "New  York  is  very 
fast-paced.  Sometimes  it  can  get  on 
your  nerves,"  she  said.  But  the 
variety  of  people  and  entertainment 
more  than  compensate  for  the 
hectic  lifestyle.  "My  friends  and  I 
like  to  go  to  Broadway  plays,  the 
ballet,  the  opera,  or  to  nightclubs  in 
Greenwich  Village  to  hear  blues  and 
jazz  music,"  said  Crook.  She  enjoys 
bike  riding  or  jogging  in  Central 
Park  too. 

Crook  plans  to  make  a  career  in 
fashion  and  has  high  hopes  for  her 
future.  "I  want  to  grow  with  the 
magazine  whether  it  be  in  selling, 
public  relations  or  special  events." 
And  she'll  do  it  with  style.

How  Can  We  Best 
Serve  Our  Students? 


Retaining  and  mdntaining 
our  most  valuable  resource 


by  Allison  Relos 


WINTER     9  1 


WINTER     9  1 


Student  retention  is  the  number 
one  priority  on  today's  college 
campuses.  Administrators  and 
parents  alike  want  to  know  what 
motivates  students  to  stay  in  school 
and  what  contributes  to  a  successful 
academic  career.  Why?  "Because 
serving  students'  needs  in  the  best 
possible  way  is  fundamental  to  a 
university's  mission,"  said  Bill  Bryan, 
UNCW  vice  chancellor  for  student 
affairs. 

Dick  Mullendore,  UNCW 
associate  vice  chancellor  for  student 
affairs,  believes  that  a  college  or 
university  inherits  an  ethical 
commitment  every  time  a  student  is 
admitted.  "What  we've  told  that 
student  by  letter  of  admission  is  'You 
can  make  it  here.'  Realistically,  not 
all  students  can  make  it  here 
without  some  help.  We  need  to  do 
all  we  can  to  integrate  the  academic 
and  social  components  of  college  to 
contribute  to  the  student's  success," 
said  Mullendore. 

By  accomplishing  their  aca- 
demic goals,  students  are  more  likely 
to  graduate  and  go  on  to  other 
achievements.  A  successful  college 
experience  can  set  the  stage  for  a 
positive  life  experience,  said  Bryan. 

"The  more  successful  we  are 
with  our  students,  the  better  the 
return  in  terms  of  our  image,  alumni 
base,  and  recruiting  new  students," 
added  Mullendore.  "Ifwefailto 
retain  students  we're  wasting 
taxpayers'  money  by  letting  a  lot  of 
talent  walk  away." 

The  percentage  of  students  who 
enroll  at  UNCW  and  graduate  in 
four  years  is  estimated  at  22  percent, 
said  Bob  Fry,  UNCW  director  of 
institutional  research.  Approxi- 
mately 40  percent  of  freshmen 
enrolling  at  UNCW  graduate  in  five 
years. 

At  UNC  Charlotte  24  percent 
of  freshmen  graduate  in  four  years 
and  45  percent  graduate  in  five 
years;  at  East  Carolina  University  19 
percent  graduate  in  four  years  and  38 


percent  graduate  in  5  years;  and  at 
Appalachian  State  University  28 
percent  graduate  in  4  years  and  50 
percent  graduate  in  five  years. 
These  figures  were  supplied  by 
UNCW's  Office  of  Institutional 
Research. 

Turning  Point 

According  to  Bryan  and 
Mullendore,  a  freshman's  first  six 
weeks  at  school  are  critical  to  that 
student's  retention.  "The  more  you 
can  involve  them  in  activities  and 
organizations  the  better  the  chance 
that  they'll  stay,"  said  Bryan.  "And 
the  development  of  a  significant 
relationship  with  some  member  of 
the  institution,  someone  they  can  sit 
and  talk  with,  is  extremely  impor- 
tant." 

This  is  especially  true  where 
faculty'  are  concerned.  The  real 
hook  for  creating  a  bond  with  the 
students  occurs  in  the  classroom.  "It 
makes  all  the  difference  when 
faculty  take  a  special  interest  in  their 
students  as  individuals  in  and 
outside  the  classroom,"  said  Bryan. 
Inviting  students  to  their  homes  or 
to  the  University  Union  for  a  cup  of 
coffee  contributes  to  positive  student 
response  and  retention.  As  an 
institution,  UNCW  is  looking  at 
ways  to  encourage  and  support 
faculty  in  these  kinds  of  activities. 

The  Division  of  Academic 
Affairs  has  developed  the  Freshman 
Seminar  to  help  retain  students  with 
special  learning  needs.  "Students 
who  come  through  special  admis- 
sions who  do  not  predict  a  2.0  grade 
point  average  are  required  to  take 
this  class  to  learn  good  study  habits 
and  to  become  adjusted  to  a  univer- 
sity atmosphere,"  said  David  Miller, 
assistant  vice  chancellor  of  academic 
affairs.  "We've  had  very  good 
success  with  this  program."  Comple- 
tion of  the  course  counts  as  one 
credit  hour  and  goes  towards 
graduation. 

Parental  involvement  is  vital  to 


student  retention  as  well.  Informing 
parents  about  the  opportunities  and 
services  available  to  their  students, 
positions  them  to  take  an  active  role 
in  their  son's  or  daughter's  educa- 
tional experience. 

What  characterizes  the  quality 
of  campus  life  at  UNCW?  Both 
Bryan  and  Mullendore  were  quick  to 
say,  "Friendliness!"  A  responsive, 
caring  approach  is  taken  with  the 
students  and  each  one  is  treated  as 
an  individual.  Study  skills  work- 
shops, leadership  training, 
intramurals,  and  academic  counsel- 
ing are  just  some  of  the  ways  this 
caring  attitude  is  demonstrated. 

Plans  for  enhancing  student 
retention  include  devising  a  seminar 
for  all  new  students  that  would  give 
them  an  in-depth  look  at  the 
university.  "It  would  teach  them 
how  to  negotiate  complex  institu- 
tions, how  to  be  assertive,  and  what 
their  rights  are  as  education  consum- 
ers," said  Bryan. 

An  enrollment  management 
task  force  made  up  of  faculty  and 
administrators  is  also  being  organ- 
ized to  take  a  critical  look  at  "the 
way  UNCW  does  business,"  said 
Mullendore.  "We'll  be  looking  at 
what's  in  place  to  help  our  students 
be  successful  and  what's  preventing 
others  from  achieving  success."  A 
final  report  will  be  submitted  to 
Chancellor  Leutze  by  December 
1991. 

Examining  the  spectrum  of 
student  life  at  UNCW  is  essential  to 
improving  retention  rates.  "It's  not 
just  what  happens  in  the  classroom, 
but  what  happens  in  the  bookstore, 
traffic  office,  dining  hall,  or  library 
that  makes  a  difference,"  said 
Chancellor  Leutze.  "All  of  these 
things  in  aggregate  contribute  to 
each  student's  experience." 

By  improving  the  quality  of 
student  life  and  strengthening 
student  retention,  UNCW  is 
building  a  solid  base  for  its  future.

Treasure  Island  is  alive  and  well 
atUNCW.  And  you  don't 
need  a  map,  a  schooner,  or  young 
Jim  Dawkins  to  take  you  there.  Just 
set  your  sights  on  Randall  Library 
and  drop  anchor  in  Special  Collec- 
tions. You'll  discover  a  wealth  of 
rare  and  unusual  finds. 

"Exploring  Special  Collections 
is  serendipity  in  a  way  -  unexpected 
hut  totally  delightful,"  said  Lana 
Taylor,  special  collections  librarian. 

Housed  in  the  Helen  Hagan 
Rare  Book  Room  of  Randall  Library, 


by  appointment  during  the  week 
from  8  a.m.  to  5  p.m. 

The  jewels  of  the  collection 
include:  an  1831  fore  edge  printed 
book,  which  refers  to  a  scene  printed 
on  the  fanned  edges  of  the  pages, 
Civil  War  documents,  a  North 
American  wildflower  book  with 
waterflower  renderings  by  Mary 
Vaux  Walcott,  1 7th  century  books 
detailing  the  history  of  science,  and 
the  collected  works  of  Galen  of 
Pergamon,  one  of  the  great  physi- 
cians of  antiquity,  printed  in  1604- 


under  the  auspices  of  the  New 
Hanover  County  School  Board," 
Taylor  said.  "We  even  have  the  cap, 
gown,  and  hood  worn  by  John  T. 
Hoggard,  second  president  of 
Wilmington  College." 

As  one  might  imagine,  preserva- 
tion is  paramount  to  maintaining 
the  collection.  Papers  and  photo- 
graphs are  stored  in  acid-free  folders 
and  boxes.  Plastic  clips  and  rust-free 
staples  replace  paper  clips  and 
standard  staples.  Books  and  manu- 
scripts are  shelved  behind  locked

the  collection  embraces  bygone  eras 
in  a  variety  of  media.  Books,  manu- 
scripts, photographs,  artwork,  maps, 
and  personal  journals  make  up  the 
bounty  of  the  collection.  Many  are 
old  and  in  fragile  condition.  Others 
represent  limited  editions  or  one  of  a 
kind  items. 

"The  things  in  Special  Collec- 
tions need  tender,  loving  care,"  said 
Taylor.  Because  of  their  scarcity  and 
fragile  condition,  the  pieces  aren't 
checked  out  like  those  in  the  general 
collection.  But  they  can  be  viewed 


Valuable  books  on  local  history 
by  authors  such  as  Isabelle  Williams, 
Ida  Brooks  Kellam,  Elizabeth 
McCoy  ,  and  Billie  McEachern  are 
also  found  in  Special  Collections. 
"These  women  were  local  historians 
who  kept  their  great-great  grandfa- 
thers' memories  alive,"  said  Taylor. 

Historical  archives  detailing  the 
history  of  Wilmington  College  and 
UNCW  are  housed  in  Special 
Collections  too.  "Correspondence, 
files,  and  photographs  go  back  to  the 
early  days  of  the  school  when  it  was 


glass  doors.  Documents  and  litho- 
graphs are  framed  or  filed  and 
interleaved  with  acid-free  paper  in 
large  flat  drawers.  In  addition,  the 
temperature  and  humidity  in  the 
rare  book  room  are  closely  con- 
trolled to  prevent  mildew  damage. 

One  significant  group  of 
materials  within  Special  Collections 
consists  of  approximately  2,400  78 
rpm  phonograph  records  of  late  jazz 
and  big  gand  greats  such  as  Louis 
Armstrong,  Ella  Fitzgerald,  and 
Glenn  Miller.  The  records  were

Designated  in  1969  as  the  rare

director  of  Randall  Library,  the 
Special  Collections  room  was 
named  for  Hagan  upon  her  retire- 
ment in  1973.  Most  of  the  pieces  in 
the  collection  were  donated,  left  as 
legacies,  or  bought  with  funds  from 
supporting  foundations,  while  other 
items  were  brought  in  by  people  in 
the  community.  These  are  reviewed 
by  Taylor  and  her  colleagues  to  see 


"My  mother  instilled  in  me  a  love 
for  reading,  a  thirst  for  knowledge, 
and  a  desire  to  study  the  past."  This 
influence  led  her  to  earn  a  bachelor's 
degree  in  history  from  UNCW  in 
1978.  She  went  on  to  earn  her 
master's  degree  in  library  and 
information  sciences  from  N.C. 
Central  University  in  1985.

ALIFE 
WORTH  LIVING 

Reviving  and  Resolving 
Difficult  Questions 


Candace  Gauthier  confronts 
moral  dilemmas  and  quality  of  life. 
She  represents  clients  she  never 
meets  and  deals  with  death  on  a 
daily  basis.  "It's  so  exciting  -  it  never 
depresses  me!"  And  so  it  is  with  a 
medical  ethicist. 

Gauthier,  assistant  professor  of 
philosophy  at  UNCW  and  volun- 
teer medical  ethicist,  examines 
issues  of  right  and  wrong  in  the 
delivery  of  health  care.  "My  focus  is 
always  on  the  patient's  rights." 

She  brings  this  perspective  to 
the  classes  she  teaches,  Bioethics 
and  HIV  and  AIDS:  Issues  for 
Science  and  Society.  "My  work  as  a 
medical  ethics  consultant  at  New 
Hanover  Memorial  Hospital  helps 
me  incredibly  with  my  teaching.  It 


gives  me  wonderful  insights  into  the 
emerging  issues  in  medical  ethics," 
she  said. 

Today's  hot  issues  include 
physician-assisted  suicide,  medical 
care  for  HIV-infected  individuals, 
living  wills,  and  anonymous  blood 
testing.  Grappling  with  any  of  these 
requires  consideration  of  certain 
principles  of  medical  ethics,  accord- 
ing to  Gauthier. 

The  principle  of  beneficence 
states  that  health  care  providers  and 
related  professionals  should  act 
toward  patients  and  clients  in  a  way 
that  does  no  harm,  prevents  harm, 
and  promotes  good. 

Respect  for  autonomy  is  a 
principle  that  upholds  that  fully 
competent  adult  patients  and  clients 


be  able  to  make  decisions  concern- 
ing their  own  medical  treatment. 

The  principle  of  justice  states 
that  health  care  resources  should  be 
distributed  in  a  just  and  equitable 
manner  among  all  members  of 
society. 

Interpreting  these  principles  is 
another  matter.  "Harm"  means 
different  things  to  different  people. 
"Some  see  death  as  harm  and  some 
see  a  painful  existence  as  harm,"  said 
Gauthier.  This  becomes  a  compli- 
cated matter  when  a  physician  who 
has  sworn  to  "do  no  harm"  must 
make  a  judgment  call  as  to  the  best 
treatment  for  his  patient. 

Fidelity,  voluntary  informed 
consent,  and  confidentiality  are 
other  principles  that  govern  rela- 


Wl NTE  R     9  1

WINTER    9  1 


tionships  in  the  health  care  system. 
Fidelity  means  that  patients  and 
clients  should  be  provided  with 
complete,  relevant,  truthful  infonna- 
tion  regarding  their  condition  and 
treatment  options.  Voluntary 
informed  consent  supports  a 
patient's  right  to  agreement  prior  to 
treatment.  Confidentiality  means 
that  health  care  providers  and 
related  professionals  must  not  reveal 
information  about  their  patients  and 
clients  or  their  conditions. 

All  of  these  come  in  to  play  in 
today's  issues.  "The  North  Carolina 
Medical  Society  is  trying  to  get  the 
legislature  to  eliminate  informed 
consent  for  testing,"  said  Gauthier. 
"Some  physicians  want  to  do  away 
with  anonymous  testing  and  begin 
confidential  testing.  The  problem 
with  this  is  that  the  names  of  those 
tested  are  reported  to  the  State 
Division  of  Health  Services.  These 
people  may  later  be  discriminated 
against  based  on  the  test  results."  As 
Gauthier  sees  it,  this  is  a  breach  of 
the  confidentiality  ethic. 

The  living  will,  or  advance 
directive,  is  another  controversial 
issue.  In  this  instance,  a  person  fills 
out  and  has  witnessed  a  document 
attesting  to  the  kind  of  medical 
treatment  desired.  But  interpreta- 
tions become  muddied  here  too. 
The  big  question  is,  should  someone 
in  a  persistent  vegetative  state 
receive  artificial  feeding  or  respira- 
tion? "About  10,000  people  in  the 
United  States  are  in  a  persistent 
vegetative  state  and  are  being  tube 
fed.  The  truth  is,  they  will  never 
recover.  How  then  do  you  define 
quality  of  life?  Are  these  persons 
being  done  more  harm  than  good  by 
being  artificially  sustained?  And 
what  about  the  money  it  costs  to 
keep  them  alive?  Yes,  even  money 
can  be  considered  an  issue  in 
medical  ethics,"  she  said. 

Gauthier's  work  at  New 
Hanover  Memorial  Hospital 
includes  holding  an  ethics  confer- 


ence each  semester  for  the  internal 
medicine  residents,  leading  monthly 
discussions  with  critical  care  nurses, 
serving  on  the  Infant  Care  Review 
Committee,  and  serving  as  a 
consultant  for  the  Neonatal  Inten- 
sive Care  Unit.  She's  also  helping 
develop  a  hospital  ethics  committee. 
As  a  member  of  the  Infant  Care 
Review  Committee,  Gauthier's  job 
is  to  make  sure  that  everyone 
involved  in  a  case  has  all  the 
information  needed  to  assist  in 
decision  making.  "My  role  is  to 
point  out  and  address  the  ethical 
issues  and  to  give  my  opinion  as  an 
ethicist,"  said  Gauthier.  "I  play 
devil's  advocate  and  point  out 
what's  missing,  but  I  don't  make

medical  decisions  or  clinical 
judgments." 

As  medical  technology  ad- 
vances, the  decisions  become  more 
complex.  "The  technology  used  to 
keep  people  alive  creates  so  many 
problems.  Who  lives,  who  dies,  and 
who  decides?"  she  asked.  "And  as 
this  technology  becomes  more 
expensive,  cost  will  become  more  of 
an  issue  too." 

To  protect  your  medical  and 
ethical  rights,  Gauthier  urges  people 
to  ask  lots  of  questions.  "Take 
control  of  your  health  care.  Don't 
let  the  physician  make  all  of  the 
decisions.  Ask  what  certain  treat- 
ments have  to  offer,  what  the  long- 
term  results  are,  and  what  the  cost  of 
the  care  is.  Before  you  agree  to  a 
procedure  or  drug,  find  out  about  it. 


Most  hospitals  have  a  library,"  she 
said.  A  good  journal  recommended 
by  Gauthier  is  Hastings  Center 
Report  which  writes  about  ethical 
issues  in  lay  terms. 

In  addition  to  her  teaching  and 
work  as  a  medical  ethicist,  Gauthier 
chairs  the  university's  Committee 
for  the  Protection  of  Human 
Subjects.  This  is  a  federally  man- 
dated committee  that  evaluates  all 
of  the  research  at  UNCW  on 
human  subjects.  This  includes  the 
psychology  attitude  surveys  and  the 
memory  studies  conducted  with 
children  in  the  Department  of 
Psychology,  and  the  patient  surveys 
conducted  by  the  School  of  Nursing. 

She  also  serves  on  another 
federally  mandated  committee,  the 
Institutional  Animal  Care  and  Use 
Committee.  Twice  a  year  she 
inspects  campus  facilities  that  house 
animals  used  in  experiments.  "I 
check  for  cleanliness,  adequate  heat 
and  light,  and  room  for  movement. 
I  also  need  to  be  concerned  with  the 
humane  treatment  of  the  animals 
and  how  they're  euthanized,"  said 
Gauthier.  The  animals  include  rats, 
fish,  voles,  frogs,  and  toads. 

In  addition,  Gauthier  speaks  to 
professional  organizations  and 
special  interest  groups.  Last  May  she 
addressed  the  National  Conference 
of  the  Perinatal  Social  Workers 
Association.  She  was  recently 
invited  to  address  the  state  confer- 
ence of  the  North  Carolina  Chap- 
lains Association.  "I  learn  so  much 
from  every  group  I  talk  to,"  she  said. 

Gauthier  is  enthralled  with  her 
work  and  derives  great  satisfaction 
from  helping  people.  "Even  though 
I  deal  with  sad  issues,  they're 
essential  to  understanding  the 
human  experience,"  she  said. 
"Almost  everyone  will  be  sick  and 
require  health  care.  Everybody  will 
die.  If  I  can  make  people's  lives  and 
deaths  easier  and  better,  then  I've 
succeeded  in  making  a  difference."

By  teaching  students  environ- 
mental ethics  and  by  developing 
their  expertise  in  the  sciences, 
UNCW  is  producing  future  leaders 
with  the  potential  to  effect  positive 
environmental  change. 

"Depletion  of  the  ozone  layer, 
deforestation,  accelerating  birth 
rates  -  what  is  the  carrying  capacity 
of  the  world?  What  are  we  going  to 
do  with  all  of  our  waste?"  asked 
David  Webster,  chair  of  UNCW's 
environmental  studies  curriculum  in 
the  Department  of  Biology.  "I  think 
human  ingenuity  can  develop  ways 
to  minimize  destruction  to  the 
environment." 

"Our  graduates  are  getting  in  on 
the  ground  floor  of  environmental 
occupations.  They'll  be  the  ones 
calling  the  shots  in  the  next  10 
years,"  said  Webster.  "Environmen- 
tal studies  is  a  fairly  new  field.  With 
the  education  they  receive  at 
UNCW,  our  graduates  will  catapult

up  the  job  ladder." 

UNCW  is  the  only  school  in 
the  UNC  system  that  offers  a 
multidisciplinary  environmental 
studies  program,  according  to 
Webster,  and  one  of  only  40  or  so  in 
the  country.  Students  completing 
the  program  are  well  versed  in  many 
areas  and  may  work  in  such  diverse 
fields  as  land  use  planning,  waste 
water  treatment,  landscape  architec- 
ture, environmental  safety,  or 
forestry.  Curcently,  there  are  about 
80  students  enrolled  in  the  environ- 
mental studies  curriculum  at 
UNCW. 

The  program  was  established  in 
1972  in  reponse  to  student  demand, 
said  Paul  Hosier,  UNCW  assistant 
vice  chancellor  for  academic  affairs. 
Faculty  recognized  a  need  for 
broadening  students'  training  in  the 
sciences  and  organized  a  committee 
to  address  this  need.  The  environ- 
mental studies  curriculum  was  a 
direct  outgrowth  of  this  committee 
work. 

Twelve  academic  disciplines 
contribute  to  the  environmental 
studies  cuniculum.  Effective  fall 
1991,  students  coming  into  the 
program  will  be  able  to  choose  from 
four  tracks  of  concentration:  biol- 
ogy, chemistry,  earth  science,  and 
environmental  science.  Additional 
academic  departments  that  contrib- 
ute to  the  curriculum  include: 
economics,  marine  science,  manage- 
rial science,  mathematical  sciences, 
physics,  political  science,  psychol- 
ogy, and  sociology.  "The  breadth  of 
jobs  our  students  are  trained  to 
occupy  is  quite  remarkable," 
Webster  said. 

Why  Now? 

Our  environment  has  under- 
gone dramatic  changes  for  the  last 
three  billion  years.  Why  the 


urgency  to  study  it  now?  What's 
creating  this  demand? 

"All  the  resources  in  the  earth 
are  limited,  whether  you're  talking 
about  diamonds  or  coal.  Because 
they're  limited,  the  earth  has 
evolved  very  delicate  ways  to  recycle 
these  elements  through  the  environ- 
ment. And  we  have  altered  every 
one  of  them,"  Webster  explained. 
"People  are  starting  to  realize  that 
the  Earth  as  a  living  system  has 
rights  too." 


"People  are  starring  to 

realize  that  the  Earth  as 

a  living  system  has 

rights  too." 


Consider  these  facts.  The 
United  States  makes  up  five  percent 
of  the  world  population  but  con- 
sumes 25  percent  of  the  world's 
resources  and  generates  25  percent 
of  the  world's  waste.  "The  city  of 
Los  Angeles  produces  enough  trash 
to  fill  up  the  Rose  Bowl  stadium 
every  day,"  Webster  remarked. 

During  the  past  decade,  the 
world's  sea  level  has  risen  an  average 
five  percent  because  of  global 
warming.  This  has  been  attributed 
to  a  buildup  in  the  atmosphere  of 
carbon  dioxide  and  other  gases 
generated  by  cars  and  industry.  The 
implications  are  that  low  lying  areas 
will  eventually  become  submerged. 
"The  highest  point  in  Wilmington  is 
30  feet  above  sea  level,"  said 
Webster.  "A  three  or  four  foot  rise 
means  we  would  lose  all  the  beaches 
and  many  of  the  housing  develop- 
ments would  be  underwater." 

Deforestation  is  also  accelerat- 
ing at  an  alarming  rate.  Fourteen 
percent  of  Europe's  forests  now  show 


signs  of  injury  linked  to  acid  rain 
and  air  pollution.  "The  Black  Forest 
was  virtually  eliminated  by  the 
industrialization  of  Europe,"  said 
Webster.  Similar  growth  reductions 
are  occuning  throughout  America's 
Appalachian  Mountains. 

An  entirely  different  philosophy 
and  mandatory  changes  must  occur 
if  we're  to  stem  the  tide  of  this 
environmental  typhoon.  "It's  going 
to  take  a  grassroots  organization  to 
keep  environmental  issues  in  the 
forefront  of  public  awareness.  That's 
where  we're  lacking  in  this  country," 
Webster  said.  "It's  also  going  to  take 
a  ground  swell  of  commitment  at  the 
local,  state  and  national  levels  to  get 
the  funding  and  policies  we  need  to 
protect  our  environment.  Strong 
politicians  are  going  to  have  to  pass 
tough  laws  that  might  not  get  them 
re-elected." 

Webster  was  appointed  as  chair 
of  the  environmental  sciences 
cuniculum  because  of  his  broad 
training  in  the  biological  sciences. 
He  is  also  well-trained  in  field 
studies,  according  to  Hosier,  and 
does  extensive  research  on  endan- 
gered species  and  habitats.  "I've 
always  been  interested  in  the  effect 
man  has  on  the  environment," 
Webster  added.  Webster  has  high 
expectations  for  the  environmental 
studies  program  at  UNCW.  "I  hope 
it  will  rival  our  marine  biology 
program.  Give  us  10  or  20  years  to 
be  the  best  EVS  program  in  the 
country." 

Eliminating  fossil  fuels,  improv- 
ing energy  efficiency,  reversing 
deforestation,  and  enforcing  strin- 
gent recycling  are  fundamental  to 
the  Earth's  ecological  diet.  With 
regular  exercise  of  the  political 
process  and  large  consumptions  of 
education,  our  planet  home  can 
become  environmentally  fit.  ■

HAPPENINGS  AND  EVENTS 

Annual  Giving  Update 

This  year's  UNCW  Annual 
Giving  Campaign  is  moving  along, 
full  steam  ahead.  Presently  we  have 
over  $60,000  pledged  from  544 
alumni.  This  number  represents 
three  months  of  intensive  telephone 
calls  from  our  student  callers.  This 
year  we  are  expecting  our  alumni  to 
donate  over  $80,000. 

If  you  have  not  been  contacted 
by  mail  or  telephone,  you  may  be 
one  of  the  many  "lost"  alumni. 
Please  complete  the  update  form  in 
this  issue  and  tell  us  where  you  are 
and  what  you  are  doing. 

Parents,  you  should  have 
received  your  solicitation  letter  by 
now.  Our  student  callers  will  be 
contacting  those  of  you  who  have 
not  responded  by  mail. 

We  look  forward  to  a  banner 
year  and  to  meeting  many  of  the 
fundraising  goals  we  have  set.

ceremony  will  cap  three  days  of 
events  when  UNCW's  Chancellor 
James  R.  Leutze  is  officially  installed 
April  5.  All  alumni  and  friends  of 
the  institution  are  urged  to  mark 
your  calendars  now  and  make  plans 
to  attend  morning  tea  from  8:30-10

PRELUDE 


ABOUT   THE   COVER 


The  UNCW  mace  was  introduced  at  the  installation  ceremony  for  Chan- 
cellor James  R.  Leutze  on  April  5,  1991.  It  will  be  carried  by  the  faculty  marshal 
at  all  formal  academic  ceremonies  including  commencements  and  convocations. 

Designed  by  Jeff  Morvil,  a  Wilmington  artist,  and  created  by  Marvin  Jensen, 
a  Penland,  North  Carolina  sculptor,  the  UNCW  mace  incorporates  elements 
and  materials  important  to  the  history  of  the  school  and  region.  The  boss,  or 
symbolic  head,  represents  the  essence  of  education,  the  flame  of  learning.  It  was 
designed  to  embody  humankind's  timeless  pursuit  of  knowledge  and  quest  for 
truth. 

Below  the  boss  are  four  official  seals  important  to  the  school's  formation  and 
history.  They  represent:  the  County  of  New  Hanover,  Wilmington  College,  the 
University  of  North  Carolina,  and  the  University  of  North  Carolina  at  Wilm- 
ington. Four  bands  are  found  on  the  shaft  and  symbolize  the  four  schools  of 
academic  concentration  within  UNCW:  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  the 
School  of  Education,  the  School  of  Nursing,  and  the  Cameron  School  of 
Business  Administration. 

The  tenninus,  or  end  piece,  consists  of  a  long  leaf  pine  cone  to  symbolize  the 
long  leaf  pine  tree  which  was,  and  still  is,  a  vital  part  of  southeastern  North 
Carolina's  heritage.  The  long  leaf  pine  is  also  the  state  tree. 

The  boss  and  tenninus  are  cast  bronze  that  have  been  gold  plated.  The  shaft 
is  made  of  live  oak,  a  tree  indigenous  to  the  area,  often  associated  with  strength 
and  endurance.  Years  ago,  the  wood  from  this  tree  was  preferred  tor  ship  build- 
ing, not  only  in  this  area  but  up  and  down  the  east  coast.  The  four  bands  on  the 
shaft,  consisting  of  gold-plated  bronze,  were  designed  to  reflect  the  dentation  in 
the  Georgian  architecture  used  throughout  the  UNCW  campus.  The  inlay  in 
each  of  the  bands  is  made  up  of  mother  of  pearl  and  symbolizes  the  university's 
ties  with  the  ocean. 

Contrary  to  popular  belief,  the  mace  dates  back  to  ancient  times.  First  used 
as  a  weapon,  archaeological  evidence  indicates  that  it  was  also  used  ceremonially 
in  the  Chalcolithic  Era,  4000-3100  B.C.E.  Findings  reveal  that  Mesopotamian, 
Egyptian,  and  Mayan  civilizations  used  the  mace  as  a  weapon  and  regarded  it  as  a 
sign  of  power. 

During  medieval  times  the  mace  was  used  as  a  battle  weapon  by  bishops. 
Usually  made  of  iron  or  steel,  the  medieval  mace  was  designed  to  pierce  armor. 
This  accommodated  the  canonical  nile  that  forbade  priests  to  shed  blood  by 
using  sabres  or  swords.  During  the  16th  and  17th  centuries,  the  mace  protected 
royal  personages  and  later  came  to  be  identified  with  royalty.  Today's  ceremonial 
mace  symbolizes  the  flame  of  learning,  humankind's  pursuit  of  knowledge,  and 
quest  for  truth  and  wisdom.

"Fireball  Leutze."  That's  what 
everyone  who  knows  him  calls  him. 

After  his  first  six  months  in 
office,  Chancellor  James  R.  Leutze 
has  made  himself  a  welcome  part  of 
the  UNCW  family.  As  a  matter  of 
fact,  you  can  feel  the  positive, 
upbeat  mood  around  campus.  He 
came  to  the  University  of  North 
Carolina  at  Wilmington  a  deter- 
mined man  with  a  vision  of  an 
outstanding  university  and  a  set  of 
goals  to  achieve  this. 

These  goals  were  compiled  in  a 
joint  effort  with  the  university 
community.  Priority  was  given  to 
maintaining  the  momentum  of  the 
university  and  to  promoting  the 
university  as  a  vibrant,  growing 
school. 

Improving,  reinforcing,  and 
creating  an  academic  atmosphere 
are  also  aims  of  the  university. 
Promoting  ties  with  the  state's 
educational  system  and  raising  the 
visibility  of  the  university  are 
important  in  connecting  the 
university  with  the  community. 
Leutze  is  also  planning  for  the  future 
by  setting  priorities  that  will  allow 
the  university  to  raise  funds  to 
support  endeavors  that  will  establish 
it  as  a  regional  educational  force. 

The  students,  faculty,  staff, 
alumni,  and  the  community  are 
among  the  many  constituents  with 
whom  Leutze  has  already  estab- 
lished a  close,  working  relationship. 
He  has  spent  much  time  touring  the 


Leutze  Sparks  the 
UNCW  Community 


campus,  meeting  people,  listening, 
and  getting  a  sense  of  the  place. 

He  has  now  been  in  every 
building  on  campus,  including  the 
residence  halls  where  he  spent  the 
night  in  Graham  Hall  after  attend- 
ing a  Seahawk  basketball  game.  He 
spent  an  entire  day  with  Ken  Lemon, 
former  UNCW  Student  Govern- 
ment Association  president,  going  to 
classes  and  meetings  with  him. 

Every  Monday  afternoon  Leutze 
reserves  the  time  between  3  and  5 
p.m.  to  meet  students.  These  sessions 
have  been  a  tremendous  success  with 
students  who  line  up  outside  of  his 
office  to  take  turns  sharing  thoughts, 
ideas,  and  suggestions  with  him. 
Students  like  the  idea  of  knowing 
that  he  cares  enough  to  take  time 
out  of  his  schedule  to  listen  to  them. 
One  student  said,  "He's  on  our  side." 

In  retrospect,  everyone  around 
UNCW  agrees  that  Leutze  has 
worked  extremely  hard  to  make  the 
university  more  visible  both  nation- 
ally and  internationally.  He  keeps  a 
high  profile.  Since  he  anived  at 
UNCW,  he  has  strived  to  connect 
our  university  to  the  region.  A  major 
long  term  goal  for  Leutze  is  to  make 
UNCW  a  southeastern  regional 
facility.  This  facility  will  allow  all 
communities  in  southeastern  North 
Carolina  to  take  advantage  of 
UNCW's  quality  academic  leader- 
ship. He  is  making  this  goal  clear 
through  numerous  speaking  engage- 
ments, radio  programs,  and  televi- 


sion appearances.  He  even  creates, 
produces,  and  hosts  his  own  show, 
Globe  Watch,  an  international  affairs 
series  that  airs  on  public  television. 

Leutze  has  been  working  to 
improve  the  status  and  reputation  of 
our  university.  He  has  asked  the 
LJNCW  Advancement  Committee, 
UNCW  Faculty  Senate,  and  UNCW 
Board  of  Tnistees  to  prepare  a  "needs 
list"  that  will  include  wants  and  needs 
of  the  university  for  fund-raising 
purposes.  This  list  is  important  in 
improving  the  status  of  the  university. 

Leutze  said,  "Once  you  attend 
school  here  you  have  a  strong  vested 
interest  in  what  happens  to  the 
university.  Status  is  important  to  the 
alumni.  When  the  university  im- 
proves, their  degree  takes  on  greater 
meaning."  Leutze  is  doing  everything 
in  his  power  to  make  UNCW  a  place 
to  be  proud  of,  not  just  a  place  from 
which  to  graduate.  Leutze  is  every- 
where, spreading  the  word  about  the 
university,  "the  best  kept  secret  in 
North  Carolina,"  and  laying  the 
groundwork  for  the  future.  When 
asked  if  Leutze  spreads  himself  too 
thin,  senior  Mike  Dmmmond  said,  "I 
think  for  a  normal  person  he  spreads 
himself  too  thin,  but  Dr.  Leutze  is  an 
exceptional  man.  He's  doing  a  great 
job."

Installation:  The  Ceremony 


James  R.  Leutze  -  military 
historian,  host  of  the  international 
affairs  television  program  Globe 
Watch,  and  higher  education 
administrator  -  was  officially  in- 
stalled as  chancellor  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  North  Carolina  at  Wilming- 
ton in  ceremonies  Friday,  April  5. 

Presiding  over  the  academic 
convocation  was  University  of 
North  Carolina  President  CD. 
Spangler,  Jr.  Administering  the  oath 
of  office  was  Chief  Justice  of  the 
North  Carolina  Supreme  Court 
James  G.  Exum,  Jr. 

Before  an  audience  of  approxi- 
mately 1 50  delegates  of  student 
organizations,  universities  and 
learned  societies;  some  300  UNCW 
faculty  members;  and  2,000  others, 
Leutze  outlined  five  areas  he  plans  to 
emphasize  at  UNCW  during  the 
coming  decade:  undergraduate 
teaching,  marine  science,  interna- 
tional affairs,  public  outreach,  and 
environmental  concerns. 

First  among  these  is  energetic 
devotion  to  undergraduate  teaching. 
He  stated  that  in  terms  of  historic, 


present  and  future  direction,  it  is 
clear  that  UNCW  is  primarily  an 
undergraduate  teaching  university. 
Leutze  called  upon  all  faculty  to 
"give  the  undergraduate  student  a 
high  priority." 

"This  does  not  mean  that  we 
don't  require  that  our  faculty  remain 
professionally  active.  It  means  that 
we  must  honor  and  recognize  tine 
teaching  just  as  we  do  those  who 
excel  in  other  areas  of  professional 
accomplishment,"  he  said. 

Leutze  cited  the  coastal  location 
of  UNCW  as  the  reason  for  the 
university's  "obligation  to  address 
creatively  the  marine  sciences  field  . 
.  . .  water,  whether  the  salt  of  the 
Atlantic  or  the  fresh  of  the  Cape 
Fear,  is  of  vital  importance  to  the 
people  of  North  Carolina." 

He  said  that  marine  science  will 
be  the  jewel  in  UNCW's  crown,  "tor 
it  is  here  that  we  make  our  most 
significant  contribution  to  the  state 
and  the  nation." 

In  a  recuning  theme  of  Leutze's, 
he  pointed  out  that  greater  interna- 
tionalization of  students  is  critical  it 


the  university  is  to  continue  its  role 
as  a  molder  of  citizens  and  leaders. 
In  the  area  of  public  outreach, 
Leutze  emphasized  the  role  ot  the 
university  as  a  cooperative  partner  in 
solving  society's  problems,  such  as

poverty,  providing  inspired  leader- 
ship tor  towns  and  counties,  and 
work  force  preparedness.  He  called 
for  creative  cooperation  with 
enlightened  business  leaders  and  a 
partnership  with  industry  "it  our 
graduates  are  to  keep  American 
industry  ahead  in  the  competitive 
world  that  is  now  growing  ever 
closer." 

Noting  that  UNCW's  campus  is

an  excellent  laboratory  tor  studying 
the  environment,  Leutze  rounded 
out  his  areas  of  concern  by  pledging 
to  "use  our  professional  expertise  to 
assist  in  addressing  botanical  and 
biological  stresses  brought  about  by 
rapid  growth  in  the  area."  He  noted 
that  the  Cameron  School  of  Busi- 
ness Administration  can  help  chart 
"the  future  of  tourism  and  the  proper 
mix  of  profit  and  environmental 
respect."  He  called  upon  UNCW  to 
"imitate  Dr.  Suess's  memorable 
character,  the  Lorax,  that  speaks  not 
just  for  the  trees,  but  for  the  air  and 
the  land  and  the  sea  on  which  our 
prosperity  has  been  built." 

Installation  ceremonies  culmi- 
nated a  four-day  series  of  cultural, 
educational,  social,  and  ceremonial 
events  that  began  April  2.  Leutze, 
who  became  chancellor  of  the 
university  in  July,  1990,  is  the  fifth 
chief  administrator  of  UNCW  and 
its  second  chancellor. 

These  ceremonies  marked  the 
first  such  activities  in  more  than  2 1 
years  when  Dr.  William  H.  Wagoner 
was  inaugurated  as  president  of 
Wilmington  College  on  May  1, 
1969.

A 


spring  sun  shone  brightly 
on  a  campus  that  had  been  groomed 
to  perfection.  Large  green  and  gold 
banners  bearing  a  bold  "UNCW" 
hung  from  street  lamps.  A  new 
infonnation  directory  was  built  at 
the  Randall  Drive  entrance  to 
campus  and  an  oak  tree  sapling  was 
planted  outside  of  the  new  Univer- 
sity Center.  Classes  were  cancelled 
from  9  a.m.  to  1  p.m.  What  was  all 
of  the  excitement  about?  James  R. 
Leutze  was  installed  as  UNCW's 
chancellor. 

Friday,  April  5,  marked  the 
official  installation  ceremony  of  Dr. 
Leutze.  The  week  preceding  the 
actual  installation  was  filled  with 
special  events  including  symposia 
sponsored  by  the  School  of  Nursing 
and  the  School  of  Education,  a  Free 
Expression  Celebration  between 
Kenan  and  King  halls  given  by  the 
Fine  Arts  and  Communication 
Studies  departments,  a  reception  at 
the  U.S.S.  North  Carolina  hosted 
by  the  UNCW  Board  of  Trustees, 
and  a  black-tie  ball  given  by  the 
Friends  of  the  University  in  the 
University  Center  ballroom. 

The  day  of  the  ceremony  began 


with 


a  morning  tea  under 


hi, 


ge  tents 


set  up  on  the  front  lawn  of  campus. 
Students,  alumni,  faculty,  staff,  and 
the  community  were  invited.  Music 
was  provided  by  the  UNCW  Gospel 
Choir  and  the  UNCW  Jazz  En- 
semble. Campus  tours  were  given  by 
the  UNCW  Ambassadors. 

The  installation  ceremony 
began  at  10:30  a.m.  in  Trask 
Coliseum.  The  procession  began 
with  the  UNC  Board  of  Governors 
and  the  Leutze  family  who  were 
followed  by  faculty,  student  and 
guest  delegates.  A  bagpiper  and  the 
faculty  marshal  then  led  in  the 
platform  party. 

A  luncheon  for  platform 
members,  invited  guests,  and  the 
installation  committee  followed  the 
ceremony. 

An  event  like  this  does  not 
happen  everyday.  UNCW  pulled 
out  all  of  the  stops  to  see  that  the 
installation  of  Dr.  Leutze  was  a 
memorable  one.  The  ceremony 
celebrated  not  only  Chancellor 
Leutze 's  arrival  but  the  arrival  of  the 
university.

Public  Education 
Spotlighted 

During  the  week  of  installation, 
a  symposium  entitled  "Public 
Education:  America's  Real  National 
Debt"  was  held  on  the  UNCW 
campus.  It  focused  on  the  future  of 
education  and  the  role  of  the 
university  in  public  education 
excellence.  Several  nationally 
known  speakers  were  featured. 

Dr.  Barbara  R.  Hatton,  deputy 
director  of  the  Ford  Foundation's 
Education  and  Culture  Program  in 
New  York  City,  lectured  on  "Public 
Education  Reform:  Tine  Unfinished 
Agenda."  A  tornner  professor  and 
dean  of  the  School  of  Education  at 
Tuskegee  University  and  Atlanta 
University,  she  is  also  a  member  of 
the  National  Board  for  Professional 
Teaching  Standards  in  New  York 
City. 


Dr.  Marvin  J.  Cetron,  founder 
and  president  of  Forecasting 
International,  Ltd.,  gave  his  keynote 
address  on  "Educational  Renais- 
sance: Improving  Schools  for  the 
21st  Century."  As  a  pioneer  in 
corporate,  industry,  demographic, 
and  lifestyle  forecasting,  he  is 
considered  one  of  the  foremost 
futurists  in  the  nation.  He  was 
recently  selected  by  People  magazine 
as  "one  of  the  25  most  interesting 
people  in  America." 

"Reducing  the  Debt:  Imple- 
menting Creativity  in  Our  Schools" 
was  the  lecture  topic  by  Dr.  Teresa 
M.  Amabile,  professor  of  psychology 
at  Brandeis  University.  She  special- 
izes in  the  study  of  social  environ- 
ments and  the  effects  they  have  on 
the  verbal,  artistic,  and  problem- 
solving  creativity  of  children  and 
adults 

Former  Mississippi  Governor 


William  F.  Winter,  spoke  on 
"Education:  Where  Do  We  Go 
From  Here?".  As  governor  from 
1980  to  1984,  Winter  made  im- 
provement of  education  in  Missis- 
sippi his  top  priority.  In  1982  as  a 
consequence  of  his  efforts,  the  state 
passed  a  nationally  acclaimed 
Education  Reform  Act  with 
emphasis  given  to  early  childhood 
programs,  evaluation  of  student 
performance,  and  accreditation  of 
schools.  Winter  is  currently  chair  of 
the  Kettering  Foundation. 

The  education  symposium  was 
funded  by  a  $25,000  grant  from  the 
Z.  Smith  Reynolds  Foundation,  as 
well  as  monies  from  the  UNCW 
Distinguished  Scholars  Fund,  the

Symposium  Features 

Innovative  Concept  in 

Nursing 

"Differentiated  Practice:  A 
Model  for  the  Future?"  was  the  topic 
of  a  one-day  symposium  held 
Wednesday,  April  3,  in  conjunction 
with  activities  for  Chancellor 
Leutze's  installation.  It  was  spon- 
sored by  the  UNCW  School  of 
Nursing  and  the  North  Carolina 
Nurses  Association  in  cooperation 
with  the  Wilmington  Area  Health 
Education  Center. 

JoEllen  Koerner,  vice  president 
for  patient  services  at  Sioux  Valley 


Hospital  in  Sioux  Falls,  S.D., 
delivered  the  keynote  address.  She- 
has  been  active  in  implementing 
differentiated  nursing  in  Sioux 
Valley  Hospital  and  across  South 
Dakota  and  is  a  frequent  consultant 
of  large  scale  organizational  change. 
Historically,  most  nurses  with 
different  levels  of  education  have 
been  classified  the  same  and  have 
been  used  interchangeably.  How- 
ever, the  changing  needs  of  health 
care  demand  more.  Differentiated 
practice  is  a  model  proposed  to 
distinguish  nurses'  job  responsibili- 
ties based  on  education  and  experi- 
ence. Its  objective  is  to  increase  job 
satisfaction  among  nurses,  to  deliver 


higher  quality  patient  care,  and  to 
improve  the  time  and  money 
management  of  health  care  organi- 
zations. 

Marlene  M.  Rosenkoetter,  dean 
of  the  School  of  Nursing,  said, 
"This  is  an  important,  innovative 
concept  for  all  levels  of  nurses, 
hospital  administrators,  and  physi- 
cians. It  is  an  opportunity  to  demon- 
strate in  the  work  place  what  we 
have  known  for  years,  namely,  that 
what  nurses  do  should  be  based  on 
education,  experience,  and  compe- 
tence."

University  Center  Grand  Opening 


UNCW  is  pleased  to  announce 
the  newest  addition  to  campus.  The 
grand  opening  of  the  University 
Center  was  March  13,  followed  by  a 
three-day  celebration.  The  official 
ribbon  cutting  ceremony  was  held  at 
noon  on  the  13th.  The  exterior  of 
the  42,000  square  foot  building  was 
wrapped  in  yellow  ribbon.  Dark 
clouds  moved  in  and  a  storm  broke 
out  right  at  noon  but  the  bad 
weather  did  not  dampen  spirits. 
Hundreds  of  people  turned  out  and 
scissors  were  distributed  to  help  do 
the  honors,  only  indoors. 

The  Fort  Bragg  Parachute  Club 
was  scheduled  to  parachute  from 
helicopters  onto  Brooks  Field  but 
they  had  to  cancel  due  to  the 
weather.  However,  local  radio 
station  SURF  107  did  a  live  broad- 
cast from  the  University  Center  and 
free  pizza  and  prizes  were  given 
away.  There  was  a  reception  for 
Gladys  Fanis,  a  local  watercolorist, 
whose  work  was  on  exhibit  in  the 
center's  lobby.  Indoor  miniature  golf 
was  set  up  in  the  6,000  square  foot 
ballroom  and  comedian  Henry  Cho 
was  featured  in  the  Center  Stage 
Cafe,  a  coffee  house  and  snack  bar. 

Thursday  March  14,  the 
celebration  continued  with  a 
campus-wide  scavenger  hunt  and  an 
outdoor  recreation  fair  sponsored  by 
the  Discover  Outdoor  Leadership 
Center.  In  addition,  UNCW 
students  displayed  informational 
posters  describing  their  academic 
research  projects.  A  College  Bowl 
question  and  answer  game  chal- 
lenged other  students.  The  band, 
Chairmen  of  the  Board,  entertained 
a  packed  house  with  beach  music 
while  later  that  night  a  traveling 
murder  mystery  troupe  presented 
the  "Mysteries  on  Campus"  Dessert 
Theater. 

The  last  day  of  events,  Friday 


March  15,  was  equally  as  action 
packed.  There  were  climbing 
challenges  on  a  low  ropes  course 
that  elicited  group  trust,  communi- 
cation, and  decision-making.  A 
pertonnance  was  given  by  the  Cleff 
Hangers,  an  acapella  music  group, 
and  UNCW  alumni  staged  a  talent 
show.  The  grand  opening  celebra- 
tion concluded  with  a  dance  in  the 
ballroom.  Music  was  provided  by  the 
band  Risse. 

Prizes  were  given  away  all  three 


days  in  post  office  boxes  and 
vending  machines.  The  new  game 
room  held  tournaments  and  clinics 
in  billiards,  ping  pong,  foosball,  and 
video-games  were  free. 

There  was  excitement  in  the  air, 
not  only  because  of  all  the  fun 
things  going  on,  but  also  because  of 
the  beautiful  new  center  that  will 
provide  our  growing  university  with 
some  much  needed  space.

T 


he  university's  ceremonial 
mace  was  unveiled  at  the  installa- 
tion of  Chancellor  James  R.  Leutze 
April  5.  Designed  by  Jeff  Morvil  and 
crafted  by  Marvin  Jensen,  the  mace 
was  months  in  the  making. 

Morvil,  a  Wilmington  graphic 
designer  and  illustrator,  made 
several  different  sketches  of  the 
proposed  mace  before  coming  up 
with  the  final  version.  "I  was 
anxious  to  work  with  UNCW  on 
this  project  because  I've  always  had 
an  interest  in  three-dimensional 
sculpture  and  woodworking," 
Morvil  said.  A  winner  of  numerous 
design  awards,  Morvil  designed  the 
Wilmington  250th  anniversary  logo, 


the  1989  Azalea  Festival  poster,  and 
is  developing  a  logo  for  the  Cape 
Fear  Museum,  formerly  the  New- 
Hanover  County  Museum. 

Jensen,  a  metalsmith  and 
sculptor  working  in  Penland,  North 
Carolina,  is  studio  and  program 
coordinator  for  the  Metals,  Iron,  and 
Sculpture  departments  at  the 
Penland  School  of  Crafts.  He 
participates  in  many  regional  and 
national  competitions  and  shows  his 
work  at  numerous  invitational 
exhibitions.  He  also  gives  lectures, 
demonstrations,  and  workshops  on 
sculpture  techniques  and  has  been 
published  in  various  art  journals. 
Jensen's  work  is  in  the  pennanent 
collections  of  The  White  House  and 
the  Rhode  Island  School  of  Design.

That's  funny.  I  had  $250  when  I  walked  in 
here.  How  could  I  have  spent  that  much?  I 
only  bought  five  books  -  there  must  be  a 
mistake.  "Excuse  me.  I  think  you  overcharged 
me.  This  receipt  can't  be  right  - 1  only  bought 
five  books.  What?  You've  got  to  be  kidding! 
There  must  be  a  mistake.  Let  me  see  the 
manager!" 

There's  no  mistake.  College  textbooks  cost 
a  small  fortune  these  days.  Who's  to  blame?  A  lot  of  people  believe  the 
college  bookstore  is  the  culprit.  But  a  closer  look  will  tell  you  it  just  isn't  so. 
Many  factors  beyond  the  bookstore's  control  contribute  to  the  price  of 
textbooks. 

While  retail  bookstores  choose  the  inventory  they  carry,  the  faculty 
determine  the  book  inventory  canied  by  the  UNCW  campus  bookstore. 


"Which  books  we  stock  is  out  of  our 
control,"  said  Margaret  Robison, 
UNCW  director  of  auxiliary 
services.  "We  buy  what  the  profes- 
sors tell  us  to  buy,"  said  Charlie 
King,  UNCW  assistant  vice  chan- 
cellor tor  business  affairs.  The 
Division  of  Business  Affairs  includes 
the  Department  of  Auxiliary 
Services  that  manages  the  operation 
of  the  bookstore. 

Prices  range  from  $50  for  a 
hardback  book  to  $7.95  for  a 
paperback  book,  said  Arnold  Siko, 
bookstore  manager.  The  average 
cost  of  books  per  student  is  $230 
each  semester. 

Used  books  are  ordered  when- 
ever possible.  "We  belong  to 
PUBNET,  an  electronic  ordering 
system  that  connects  us  with  all  used 
book  wholesalers  in  the  U.S.,"  said 
King.  "We  place  orders  first  for  used 
books  and  once  that  supply  is 
deleted,  we  order  new  books  from 
the  publisher." 

King  said  that  the  UNCW 
textbook  inventory  averages  24  to 
27  percent  in  used  books  versus  the 
average  10  to  18  percent  found  in 
most  bookstores.  "We're  able  to 
stock  more  used  books  because  we 
buy  back  books  from  students,"  said 
King.  However,  the  bookstore  can 
only  purchase  students'  books  that 
professors  agree  to  use  again  the 
following  semester.  If  the  professor 
requests  another  book,  the  market 
for  the  cunent  book  disappears. 

The  cost  of  textbooks  could  be 
reduced  significantly  is  there  was  a 
three-year  policy  on  using  them, 
added  King. 

Book  Policy 

There  is  no  university  policy  on 
reusing  textbooks,  according  to 
Dave  Miller,  UNCW  assistant  vice 
chancellor  tor  academic  affairs.  "We 
do  not  have  a  policy  that  says  a 
faculty  member  has  to  teach  from  a 
book  for  more  than  one  semester, 
although  academic  departments  may 
encourage  it.  Most  faculty  teach

two  semesters  from  the  same  hook," 
said  Miller.  Asked  about  whether 
there  were  plans  for  such  a  policy, 
Miller  said,  "No  one  has  ever  pushed 
for  a  book  reuse  policy." 

Bob  Appleton,  chair  of  the 
Accountancy  and  Business  Law 
Department,  is  a  member  of  the 

"It's  hard  to  understand  the 

reason  for  changing  books 

after  one  semester.  You 

pay  $40  for  a  new  book 

but  can  only  resell  it  for 

$10  or  $15." 

Kathy  Riley,  student 

UNCW  bookstore  advisory  commit- 
tee. From  a  faculty  point  of  view, 
Appleton  said,  "Faculty  need  to 
select  cunent  books  that  are  the  best 
books  for  the  course.  They  seldom 
pay  attention  to  price." 

Melton  McLaurin,  chair  and 
professor  in  UNCW's  History 
Department,  supports  the  idea  of  a 
book  adoption  policy  with  certain 
provisions."  I  feel  that  a  three-year 
book  policy  is  acceptable  for  basic 
studies  or  survey  courses.  When 
teaching  upper  level  courses  taught 
every  two  years,  faculty  should  be 
given  the  flexibility  to  experiment 
with  new  texts,"  he  said.  There  may 
be  new  books  in  print  that  weren't 
available  prior  to  the  three-year  class 
cycle,  he  added. 

James  Megivern,  chair  of  the 
Philosophy  and  Religion  Depart- 
ment, believes  faculty  should  have 
the  freedom  to  decide  which  book 
would  be  best  to  use  in  their  course. 
"From  my  own  experiences,  often 
times  after  choosing  a  book  it  turns 
out  quite  differently  when  you  begin 
to  use  it.  I'd  hate  to  be  saddled  with 
a  book  I  didn't  like  for  six  semesters. 
A  mandatory  book-adoption  policy 
becomes  a  quality  issue.  The  book  is 


a  principle  medium  between  the 
instructor  and  the  student.  If  the 
instructor  doesn't  like  the  book,  that 
comes  through." 

Kathy  Riley,  a  UNCW  senior 
majoring  in  biology,  supports  a 
policy  requiring  the  use  of  a  book  for 
two  concurrent  semesters.  Com- 
menting on  the 
cunent  situation, 
she  said,  "It's  hard       g 
to  understand  the 
reason  for  changing 
books  after  one 
semester.  You  pay 
$40  for  a  new  book 
but  can  only  resell 
it  for  $10  or  $15. 
Sometimes  you 
don't  get  any 
money  back.  If 
there's  new  material 
coming  out,  professors  should  just 
add  this  to  their  lectures  rather  than 
require  a  new  book." 

"Book  rental  makes  more  sense 
than  buying  books.  Most  people  are 
going  to  turn  around  and  sell  their 
books  anyway,"  added  Barry  Gra- 
ham, senior  communications  major. 

Several  North  Carolina  univer- 
sities, including  Appalachian  State 
University,  Western  Carolina 
University,  and  Fayetteville  State 
University,  have  adopted  book 
rental  systems.  The  program  at 
ASU  began  in  the  1 940s  to  accom- 
modate the  fixed  budgets  of  WW  II 
soldiers  who  were  returning  home  to 
attend  school,  said  Roby  Triplett, 
manager  of  the  ASU  bookstore. 
Today,  ASU  students  pay  $48  per 
semester  to  rent  hardback  books 
required  for  their  course  work.  They 
obtain  the  books  by  presenting  a  fee 
card  and  their  course  schedule  at  the 
bookstore.  Bookstore  staff  select  the 
particular  books,  code  the  books 
with  the  last  four  digits  of  the 
student's  social  security  number,  and 
sign  out  the  books  on  the  student's 
fee  card.  At  the  end  of  the  semester 


the  books  are  turned  back  in  or 
purchased  by  students  at  a  20 
percent  discount.  "The  average 
student  rents  four  books  a  semester," 
Triplett  said. 

The  operation  of  a  book  rental 
system  requires  a  policy  on  book  use. 
At  Appalachian,  each  department 


"I'd  hate  to  be  saddled 

with  a  book  I  didn't  like  for 

six  semesters." 

James  Megivern,  chair, 
Philosophy  and  Religion 


uses  a  book  for  three  years.  "This 
isn't  unreasonable.  Books  usually 
change  every  three  years  anyhow," 
Triplett  said.  "Hardback  textbooks 
can  be  supplemented  with  newer 
paperback  books  -  our  paperback 
textbook  department  does  over  $  1 
million  in  sales  each  year." 
Production  Costs 
The  College  Sune  Journal  reports 
that  the  retail  price  of  a  typical 
textbook  is  detennined  by  a  number 
of  factors.  Statistics  compiled  by  the 
American  Association  of  Publishers 
give  the  following  price  breakdown 
for  textbooks:  Royalties  paid  to 
authors  account  for  11.6  percent  of 
the  cost  of  a  textbook.  Another 
1 1 .3  percent  can  be  attributed  to  the 
publisher's  marketing  expenses 
which  include  salaries  and  promo-

tional  materials.  The  editing,  design 
and  printing  production  of  the  hook 
add  39.1  percent  to  the  cost.  The 
publisher's  net  income  adds  an 
additional  nine  percent.  Part  of  this 
is  used  for  reinvestment,  expansion 
of  service,  and  profit.  The  typical

are  increasingly  popular  with 
instructors.  However,  these  sophisti- 
cated teaching  tools  add  to  the 
overall  cost  of  books. 

Tear-out  pages,  computer 
diskettes,  and  audio  cassette  tapes 
are  part  of  many  textbook  packages. 
These  items,  though  convenient, 
make  it  impossible  to 
resell  a  book.  "Once  a

another  20  percent  while  local, 
state,  and  federal  taxes  on  a  book 
come  to  nine  percent. 

Rich  Mastrovich,  customer 
service  representative  with  John 
Wiley  6k  Sons  Publishers  in  New 
York,  explains  why  book  prices  have 
increased.  "Books  have  changed 
stylistically  over  the  past  20  years, 
and  these  changes  have  contributed 
to  their  increased  costs.  Books  have 
been  made  more  visually  appealing," 
he  said.  "Color  photographs,  better 
use  of  artwork,  and  larger  page 
fomiats  are  being  used  so  students 
can  see  and  understand  increasingly 
complex  information.  There's  also  a 
growing  demand  for  more  study 
guides.  Students  and  faculty  want 
more  problems  and  solutions  that 
they  can  apply  in  their  learning." 
Mastrovich  added  that  computerized 
testing  materials,  newsletters, 
overhead  transparencies,  and  videos 
now  accompany  most  textbooks  and 


page  has  been  removed, 
the  textbook  is  consid- 
ered incomplete  and 
does  not  qualify  for 
resale.  As  tor  tapes  and 
diskettes,  it  would  be 
impossible  for  us  to 
check  the  condition  of 
each  one  of  these  to  see 
if  they  qualify  for 
resale,"  said  Robison. 
The  trend  to  include 
non-reusable  elements 
in  textbook  packages 
contributes  to  a  weak 
used  book  market, 
added  King. 

Late  orders  or 
overstocking  of  books  in  the  book- 
store also  contributes  to  their  higher 
cost.  "If  we  receive  last  minute  book 
orders,  we  have  no  time  to  search 
wholesalers'  inventories  for  used 
books,"  Siko  said.  "If  we  have  to 
Federal  Express  them  in  here,  that 
costs  a  lot  of  money  too,  especially 
since  books  weigh  so  much." 

Ordering  too  many  books  often 
results  in  a  surplus  ot  inventory. 
These  books  take  up  floor  space  that 
could  be  used  to  sell  soft  goods  that 
absorb  much  of  the  overhead  costs. 
"The  textbooks  are  necessary  -  that's 
why  we're  here,"  said  Siko.  But  the 
bulk  of  the  book  business  is  con- 
ducted for  only  six  to  eight  weeks  of 
the  year.  For  the  remainder  of  the 
year,  the  bookstore  relies  primarily 
on  sales  of  soft  goods  like  clothes, 
cards,  and  gifts. 

When  possible,  new  surplus 
books  are  returned  to  the  publisher. 
However,  the  bookstore  doesn't  get 


all  of  its  money  back.  Sometimes  it 
receives  a  partial  refund.  Often  it 
receives  a  credit  towards  another 
purchase.  Credit  can  be  a  problem 
because  some  publishers  are  so 
obscure  that  the  likelihood  of  doing 
repeat  business  with  them  is  remote. 
"We  have  credits  going  back  three 
years  that  we've  never  been  able  to 
satisfy,"  said  Robison.  "That's  money 
we'll  never  recapture." 

Operating  Costs 

In  order  to  cover  its  operating 
expenses,  the  UNCW  bookstore 
marks  up  the  price  of  books  by  28.5 
percent.  By  the  time  salaries, 
utilities,  freight  and  an  annual 
$75,000  loan  repayment  on  the 
bookstore  building  are  met,  a  seven 
percent  profit  is  realized  by  the 
bookstore.  "We  are  a  self-supporting 
auxiliary  service.  We  built  this 
facility  in  1985  at  an  original  cost  of 
$1.3  million,"  said  Siko.  The  loan 
will  be  satisfied  by  the  year  2000. 
According  to  state  law,  the  UNCW 
bookstore  must  return  any  profits  it 
makes  to  the  inventory  and  expan- 
sion of  the  store  and  to  the  scholar- 
ships it  supports.  An  expansion  is 
anticipated  in  the  next  24  months. 

Cunently,  forty-four  $125 
textbook  scholarships  totaling 
$5,500  are  distributed  annually  to 
each  academic  department  on 
campus.  They  are  awarded  to  a 
student  of  the  department's  choice. 
In  addition,  the  bookstore  annually 
funds  four  in-state  tuition  and  tees 
scholarships  through  the  UNCW 
Student  Government  Association. 
The  bookstore  also  contributes 
$30,000  annually  to  minority 
scholarships.  Meanwhile,  back  at 
the  bookstore  ....  "Well,  it's  still  a 
lot  of  money  to  spend  on  books  but  I 
can  see  why  now.  I  guess  I  just  didn't 
realize  what  was  involved.  Now  I 
know.  See  y'all  later."  I  never  really 
thought  about  it  -  why  books  cost  so 
much.  Wait  'til  I  tell  my  friends 
about  this!

Castles  in  the  Sand 

Worming  the  way  towards  natural  reefs 


Day  by  day,  inch  by  inch, 
giant  sandcastles  are  being  built 
just  below  the  ocean's  surface. 
These  submerged  sanctuaries  are 
the  work  of  worms  and  serve  as 
colonies  for  their  larvae's  meta- 
morphosis. 

Made  of  sand  and  a  secretion 
of  proteinaceous  cement,  the  reef 
settlements  of  adult  sandcastle 
worms  consist  of  interconnected 
tubes.  The  worms'  larvae  attach 
themselves  to  these  tubes  and 
metamorphose  into  adults.  By 
identifying  the  cues  or  stimuli  that 
determine  where  larvae  settle, 
scientists  may  someday  be  able  to 
plan  and  control  the  building  of 
natural  reefs. 

Joe  Pawlik,  assistant  professor  of 
biology  at  UNCW,  has  studied  the 
sandcastle  worm  for  eight  years.  He 
was  recently  featured  in  the  interna- 
tional research  journal  Science  for  an 
important  discovery  he  and  col- 
leagues made  about  the  behavior  of 
the  larvae  of  reef-building  worms. 
"Not  only  do  the  larvae  respond  to 
chemical  cues  in  deciding  where  to 
settle  and  metamorphose,  they  also 
respond  to  physical  cues,"  he  said. 
The  chemical  cues  consist  of  acids 
associated  with  the  cement  worms 
use  to  build  the  tubes.  The  presence 
of  these  acids  induces  larval  settle- 
ment and  subsequent  reef  building. 
The  physical  cues  have  to  do  with 
the  rate  of  water  flow  in  which  the 
larvae  move. 

Understanding  the  worms'  reef- 
building  behavior  could  greatly 
impact  coastal  management  and 
fisheries.  Applying  the  control 
elements  of  chemical  and  physical 
cues  in  the  building  of  reefs  could 
assist  in  preventing  coastal  erosion 
and  could  provide  habitats  for  fish 


and  cnistaceans. 

Pawlik  has  studied  laboratory- 
raised  larvae  in  a  controlled  labora- 
tory flume,  a  long  trough  through 
which  water  flows  at  a  constant  rate. 
His  experiments  revealed  that  worm 
larvae  tended  to  metamorphose  in 
fast-flowing  water  rather  than  slow- 
flowing  water.  The  results  suggest 
that  larvae  respond  first  to  proper 
flow  conditions  and  then  to  chemi- 
cal cues  that  induce  metamorphosis, 
said  Pawlik.  This  is  significant 
because  it  is  the  first  time  naturally 
occuning  chemical  compounds  and 
water  flow  associated  with  larval 
settlement  have  been  isolated  and 
identified. 

Once  the  larvae  have  settled 
and  have  undergone  their  rapid 
metamorphosis,  the  young  adult 
wonns  begin  building  their  own 
tubular  homes,  adding  to  the  colony 
that  fonns  large  reefs.  "The  wonns 
build  these  reefs  very  quickly,  usually 
in  a  matter  of  months,"  Pawlik  said. 

Pawlik  began  researching 
chemical  and  physical  cues  of 


marine  invertebrates  while 
earning  his  doctorate  in  marine 
biology  from  Scripps  Institution 
of  Oceanography  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  California,  San  Diego.  In 
1983,  he  began  to  focus  his 
research  on  the  sandcastle  worm, 
Phraginatopoma  lapidosa  calif  arnica, 
because  of  its  tendency  to  grow  in 
groups  that  are  close  together. 
Pawlik  joined  the  UNCW 
faculty  in  January  1991 .  "UNCW 
is  an  up  and  coming  university 
that  is  committed  to  marine 
science  research.  I  came  here 
because  I  felt  I  could  contribute 
to  the  biology  program,"  he  said. 

In  addition  to  his  research, 
Pawlik  teaches  invertebrate 
zoology  to  UNCW  undergraduates.

biology  at  UNCW,  shown  here  with 
the  January  25  edition  of  Science. 
Pawlik  is  the  first  UNCW  faculty 
member  to  have  an  article  featured  in 
the  prestigioits  journal. 

In  the  future,  he  plans  to  work  with 
graduate  students  as  well,  focusing 
on  the  study  of  settlement  behavior 
of  marine  invertebrates.  Pawlik  also 
writes  journal  articles  about  marine 
organisms  and  the  chemicals  they 
produce  to  defend  themselves.

Exploring  New  Frontiers 
in  Television

Television  -  the  transporter  of 
cultures,  the  reflector  of  time.  Its 
signals  can  jolt,  dull,  or  jam  the 
human  circuit  board.  Its  cathodic 
message  can  electrify  or  paralyze 
your  very  soul. 

The  Discovery  Channel  brings 
out  the  best  in  cable  programming. 
Its  documentary-driven,  action 
packed  format  makes  television 
entertaining,  educational,  and 
infonnative.  "Discovery  presents  an 
open  window  to  the  world  by 
bringing  world  class  non-fiction 
programming  to  viewers  in  the 
United  States  and  other  countries," 
said  Eric  McLamb,  vice  president  of 
communications  at  The  Discovery 
Channel. 

McLamb,  class  of '78,  is  respon- 
sible for  developing  and  maintaining 
relationships  with  core  media 
including  TV  consumer  media,  as 
well  as  trade  and  advertising  media. 
His  main  interest  is  in  the  top  50 
markets  like  New  York  City  and  Los 
Angeles,  but  he  penetrates  all 


markets  through  a  comprehensive 
public  relations  program.  This  is  a 
big  job  considering  Discovery  is  the 
nation's  fifth  largest  cable  network 
reaching  over  54  million  cable 
subscribers  in  the  U.S.  alone.  "We 
have  distribution  agreements 
throughout  Europe,  Asia,  Canada, 
and  Japan,"  said  McLamb.  "We  are 
also  partners  in  The  Discovery 
Channel-Europe  which  is  based  in 
London,  and  we  have  just  made 
agreements  to  launch  Discovery  in 
Israel  and  Korea." 

McLamb  also  works  to  reach 
companies  whose  products  could  be 
advertised  to  tie  in  with  particular 
subjects  being  featured  on  The 
Discovery  Channel. 

Coverage 

The  media  must  also  be  courted 
by  Discovery.  "Our  goal  is  to 
partner  ourselves  with  all  media  so 
that  they'll  depend  on  us  to  give 
them  accurate  and  meaningful 
infonnation,"  said  McLamb. 

A  good  relationship  with  the 
media  takes  time  to  cultivate.  "It's 
a  matter  of  developing  a  tremendous 
amount  of  mutual  respect.  The 
relationship  between  the  public 
relations  person  and  the  reporter  is  a 
valuable  commodity.  My  staff  has 
learned  that  PR  stands  for  personal 
relationships.  We  always  have  to 
remember  that,"  McLamb  said. 

To  get  the  most  for  the  Discov- 
ery public  relations  dollar,  McLamb 
said  it's  important  to  know  when  to 
pressure  the  media.  "You  have  to 


Eric  McLamb  78

The  Discovery  Channel 

know  their  deadlines  and  you  have 
to  be  sensitive  to  their  markets.  We 
send  press  kits  to  help  guide  the 
reporter  through  the  logistics  of  the 
upcoming  program  or  publicity 
event.  We  follow  this  up  with  a 
phone  call  to  ask  if  the  press  kit  was 
received  and  to  pitch  coverage  of 
the  event." 

The  payoff  is  solid  coverage  that 
reaches  the  general  public  and 
Discovery's  business  constituents. 
This  results  in  increased  advertising 
revenues,  higher  ratings,  and 
increased  value  for  cable  systems 
and  subscribers.  As  a  result  of  the 
network's  PR  initiatives,  Discovery 
may  be  able  to  bring  in  higher 
revenues  or  stimulate  interest  with 
new  advertisers.

"We  take  Discovery  articles  that 
have  run  throughout  the  entire 
country  and  determine  through  a 
special  system  the  physical  monetary 
value  of  those  placements.  If  we 
generate  a  story,  for  example,  in  The 
Detroit  Free  Press  we  tabulate  and 
compare  what  it  would  have  cost  to 
have  bought  that  space  in  the 
newspaper,"  said  McLamb. 
That  Special  Touch 

The  promotional  materials  that 
tie  in  with  a  particular  Discovery 
show  or  series  go  a  long  way  in 
generating  media  and  advertiser 
interest.  "When  we  use  premiums, 
we  make  sure  that  they  really  serve 
their  purpose.  They  need  to  be 
cause-related,  while  directly  and 
significantly  delivering  the  intended 
message,"  said  McLamb. 

Discovery  received  interna- 
tional recognition  for  its  "Africa" 
press  campaign  in  1989  that  used 
elephant  head  mugs  and  stuffed  toy 
elephants  to  help  promote  Safari 
Live:  Africa  Watch  and  Ivory  Wars. 
These  programs  included  a  weekend 
of  live  programming  from  Kenya's 
Maasai  Mara  Game  Reserve  and  a 
one-hour  original  Discovery  produc- 
tion on  elephant  poaching. 
Specialty  Markets 

The  Discovery  Channel  doesn't 
draw  the  line  at  entertainment 
programming  but  also  delves  into 
educational  programming.  Assign- 
ment Discovery  is  a  very  significant 
part  of  Discovery's  operations, 
according  to  McLamb.  This  daily 
educators  hour  consists  of  commer- 
cial-free segments  that  are  classroom 
tools  for  teachers.  The  show  can  be 
taped  and  incorporated  into  teach- 
ers' cumculum  plans.  "For  $1 25  a 
year,  schools  can  receive  a  special  kit 
that  helps  them  use  Assignment 
Discovery  more  effectively,  including 
our  monthly  study  guide  called 
Spectrum.  This  includes  study  plans 


and  suggestions  for  all  grade  levels," 
McLamb  said.  "Nationally  recog- 
nized associations  that  represent 
parents,  school  administrators,  and 
teachers  assist  us  with  the  program's 
development."  In  fact,  the  Texas 
State  Teachers'  Association  uses 
Assignment  Discovery  to  train 
teachers  in  new  teaching  methods, 
and  the  California  Teachers' 
Association 
has  endorsed 
Assignment 
Discovery  for 
use  in  the 
classroom. 

Interactive 
Library  is 
another 
innovative 
product  that 
will  be 
launched  by 
the  network  in 
May.  It 
incorporates 
Discovery  documentaries  with 
background  study  material  and  will 
be  marketed  on  compact  disks  and 
computer  software.  "It's  just  like  a 
video  encyclopedia  designed  to  let 
people  learn  at  their  own  pace. 
Many  hour's  worth  of  information 
are  included  in  each  package,"  said 
McLamb.  The  disks  come  with  an 
instructional  text  and  software  that 
interface  with  a  compact  disk 
player,  said  McLamb.  This  product 
will  be  targeted  first  to  schools  and 
then  to  the  general  public. 

McLamb  has  come  a  long  way 
since  his  days  of  being  the  editor  of 
the  UNCW  yearbook.  "I  knew  what 
I  wanted  - 1  dreamed  of  being  an 
executive  in  public  relations  who 
could  benefit  not  only  the  U.S.  but 
the  globe,"  he  said.  "Going  to 
UNCW  gave  me  a  solid  foundation 
to  do  this.  The  professors  I  encoun- 
tered there  taught  me  how  to  work 
and  interact  effectively  with 


people,"  McLamb  said.  He  credits 
JoAnne  Corbett,  Elizabeth  Pearsall, 
Sandra  Harkin,  B.  Frank  Hall,  and 
the  late  Betty  Jo  Welch  for  their 
influence  on  him. 

People  skills  are  essential  to 
McLamb's  work.  "Our  roles  are 
similar  to  those  of  the  White  House 
or  State  Department  spokespeople. 
My  relationship  and  my 


Eric  McLamb  on  location  with  The 
Discovery  Channel  in  Kenya 

department's  relationship  with  the 
company  are  important  to  the 
company's  image,"  he  said.  "We're 
on  the  tiring  line  everyday,  whether 
it's  with  the  media  or  partners  of  the 
company.  They  get  a  lasting 
impression  of  Discovery  when  they 
work  with  us.  Our  job  is  to  make 
sure  Discovery  is  properly  and 
tnithfully  represented  to  our  con- 
stituents," he  said. 

McLamb  has  made  some 
discoveries  about  himself  since 
joining  the  network  in  1988.  He 
enjoys  taking  a  personal  interest  in 
promoting  the  programming  of 
Discovery.  "I  believe  that  what  I'm 
doing  impacts  the  public  in  a  very 
positive  way,"  he  said.  Obviously 
McLamb  has  tuned  in  to  the  right 
channel.

UNCW  awarded  1 ,215  degrees  at  its  42nd  commencement  exercises  held  Saturday, 

May  10,  including  some  1,140  bachelor's  degrees  and  75  graduate  degrees. 

Adm.  William].  Crowe,  jr. ,  (above)  eleventh  chairman  of  the  Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff 

under  President  Ronald  Reagan,  delivered  this  year's  commencement  address. 

Commenting  on  the  state  of  the  world,  Crowe  observed,  "To  conclude  because  we  have 

serious  problems  that  we  are  going  to  the  dogs  is  nonsense .  Previous  ages  have  faced 

more  disease,  racism,  and  poverty  than  your  generation.  The  globe  since  its  beginning 

has  faced  terrifying  changes,  but  it  is  still  revolving  on  its  axis.  " 

He  quoted  Art  Bucnwald  by  saying,  "I  don't  know  if  this  is  the  best  of  times  or  the 

worst  of  times,  but  it's  the  only  time  we've  got,"  and  urged  the  class  of  1991  to  "direct 

your  talents  to  improving  our  condition  without  moaning  about  our  problems .  " 

He  added,  "One  of  our  most  urgent  challenges  is  quality  leadership.  There  is  no  dearth 

of  sound  ideas,  but  there  is  a  scarcity  of  leaders  who  can  translate  thought  into  action.  " 

In  remarks  that  were  liberally  sprinkled  with  quotes  from  Abraham  Lincoln,  Paul 

Harvey,  George  Burns,  fane  Bryant  Qumn,  and  even  a  cab  driver,  Crowe  urged  the 

graduates  to  keep  an  open  mind  throughout  their  lives,  have  a  sense  of  humor,  and 

know  the  "greatest  joy  a  human  can  know  .  .  .  the  ecstasy  of  completing  a  job  well 

done."

developing  lines  of  communication 
with  all  UNCW  MBA  alumni.  The 
chapter's  first  two  functions,  a  fall 
dinner  meeting  and  Homecoming 
Barbecue  luncheon  were  successes 
with  over  40  in  attendance  at  both 
events!  Plans  are  underway  for  the 
development  of  an  MBA  Alumni 
Directory  and  for  establishing 
services  and  awards  for  prospective 
MBAs  and  new  MBA  graduates. 

Committees  for  the  MBA 
Chapter  are  being  formed  at  this

UNCW  Friends  Black 
Tie  Fundraiser  Draws 
Capacity  Crowd 

April  4th  event  held  in  celebration  of 
Leutze's  installation 


Over  273  UNCW  Friends 
and  supporters  danced  the  night 
away  at  the  Friends  of  UNCW  Ball 
held  in  celebration  of  the  installa- 
tion of  James  Leutze  as  UNCW 
chancellor. 

The  black  tie  event  was  held  on 
April  4  in  the  new  University 
Center  Ballroom  and  was  the  first 
ball  held  as  a  fund  raiser  by  the 
group.  A  capacity  crowd  enjoyed  an 
evening  of  delicious  food  and 
wonderful  music,  but  the  most 
important  aspect  of  the  event  was 
that  proceeds  of  $4,500  were 
donated  back  to  the  university.  At 
the  annual  Friends  Tea  on  April  24 
at  Kenan  House,  Friends  Treasurer 
Margaret  Palmer  presented  Chan- 
cellor Leutze  with  a  check  for  $4,432 
to  complete  the  $10,000  endow- 
ment established  by  the  Friends  in 
1989  tor  a  named  scholarship  fund. 
In  addition,  $2,542  from  The 
Friends  annual  membership  drive 
assisted  seven  university  depart- 
ments with  equipment  purchases 
that  included  a  slide  projector  for 
the  Department  of  Fine  Arts;  an 
overhead  projector  for  the  Depart- 
ment of  Biological  Sciences;  a 
videoset  series  lor  the  Department  of 
Mathematical  Sciences;  a  letter 
machine  for  the  Department  of 
Residence  Life;  a  computer  hard  disk 
for  the  Department  of  Philosophy 
and  Religion;  a  child-size  manne- 
quin for  student  CPR  training  in  the 
Department  oi  Health,  Physical 


Education  and  Recreation.  Randall 
Library  received  funds  to  microfilm 
back  issues  of  the  campus  newspa- 
per, The  Seahmuk. 

The  Friends  of  UNCW  began 
in  1963  as  the  Friends  of  Wilming- 
ton College.  At  that  time,  the 
college's  most  desperate  need  was 
expanding  its  library.  With  the  help 
of  this  group,  Wilmington  College 
increased  its  library  holdings  from 
1 1,000  to  50,000  in  a  short  period  of 
time.  Through  the  Friends'  efforts, 
the  library  also  received  its  accredi- 
tation. As  the  college  expanded  its 
educational  programs  to  become  a 
university,  the  Friends  broadened 
their  support  to  other  educational 
areas.  Each  year  the  Friends  solicit 
requests  for  needs  from  the  campus 
community  and  their  funds  buy 
equipment  that  otherwise  could  not 
be  purchased  through  meager  state 
budgets. 

Some  of  the  prior  gifts  that  have 
been  provided  by  the  Friends 
include  a  Stein  way  concert  grand  for 
Kenan  Auditorium,  a  library  for  the 
Center  for  Marine  Science  Re- 
search, flags  representing  the 
homelands  of  our  international 
students,  and  equipment  for  WLOZ, 
the  student  radio  station. 

Friends  membership  is  open  to 
anyone.  If  you  would  like  to  know 
more  about  the  group,  write  to  them 
at  P.  O.  Box  3131,  Wilmington,  NC

PRELUDE 


To  Continue  Receiving  UNCW  Magazine 


Dear  Reader: 

You  may  be  surprised  to  learn  that  our  alumni  mailing  list  increases  by  approxi- 
mately 1 ,000  people  each  year.  The  rapid  growth  is  due  to  the  increasing  student 
enrollment  at  UNCW  More  students  mean  more  alumni!  Our  current  mailing 
list  consists  of  over  19,000  alumni,  parents,  and  friends  of  the  university. 

As  a  way  of  communicating  with  our  constituents,  the  University  Advance- 
ment office  puts  together  and  distributes  UNCW  Magazine.  It  is  a  quarterly 
publication  that  informs  our  readers  about  the  exciting  activities  on  campus  and 
highlights  alumni  achievements. 

In  the  past,  we  have  mailed  the  publication  to  all  19,000  constituents  of 
record.  However,  the  rising  costs  of  producing  and  mailing  the  magazine  are 
making  this  prohibitive.  As  a  result,  we  will  continue  mailing  each  year's  fall  issue 
to  all  19,000  constituents.  In  an  effort  to  keep  printing  and  postage  costs  at  a 
minimum,  the  remaining  three  issues  will  be  mailed  to  those  who  have 
contributed  to  the  annual  hind  or  other  university  programs  during  the  current 
or  previous  fiscal  year.  We  are  proud  of  the  transition  from  the  UNCW  Today 
tabloid  to  UNCW  Magazine.  We  look  forward  to  your  continued  support.  Your 
feedback  and  suggestions  are  appreciated  and  welcomed. 

If  your  giving  is  not  current  and  you  would  like  to  continue  receiving  UNCW 
Magazine,  please  send  your  contribution  today.  It  is  the  easiest  way  to  stay  in 
touch  with  your  classmates  and  UNCW!  Thank  you. 


Sincerely 

Carol  E.  King  '83

CAMPUS    DIGEST 


Minority  Affairs 
The  Office  of  Minority  Affairs 
has  become  a  part  of  the  Division  of 
Student  Affairs.  This  change  will 
give  the  office  a  stronger  support 
structure  by  placing  it  within  the 
division  charged  with  serving 
students.  The  office  will  report  to  Bill 
Bryan,  vice  chancellor  for  student 
affairs. 

Minority  Affairs  will  continue 
under  the  direction  of  Ralph  Parker 
who  has  held  that  position  since 
1983. 


Miller  Named  Enrollment 
Manager 

David  K.  Miller  has  been  named 
to  a  newly  created  position  as 
UNCW's  enrollment  manager.  He 
will  supervise  the  areas  of  admis- 
sions, records  and  registration,  finan- 
cial aid,  general  college  advising,  and 
orientation.  This  position  brings 
together  the  key  functions  of  student 
recruitment  and  retention. 

Miller  has  been  with  UNCW 
since  1965.  He  began  his  career  with 
the  university  as  a  physical  education 
instructor,  and  progressed  to  full 
professor  in  1978.  Since  then  he  has 
worked  in  the  Office  of  the  Dean  of 
the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  and 
in  the  Office  of  the  Vice  Chancellor 
for  Academic  Affairs  while  continu- 
ing to  teach. 


FUNDING 

NOAA  Grant 
UNCW  has  received  a  grant  of 
$2.38  million  from  the  National 
Oceanic  and  Atmospheric  Adminis- 
tration (NOAA)  to  continue  scien- 
tific work  at  the  National  Undersea 


Research  Center  at  UNCW  The 
amount  is  an  increase  from  1990 
funding  and  brings  total  grants  from 
the  agency  to  nearly  $12.6  million. 
The  grant  will  allow  the  center 
to  continue  undersea  research  in  the 
Southeastern  United  States  and  the 
Gulf  of  Mexico  and  expand  to  the 
Flonda  Keys.  Funds  for  UNCW's 
research  habitat,  Aquarius,  were  also 
included  in  the  grant. 


NASA  Renewal  Grant 
Professors  Richard  Dillaman 
and  Robert  Roer  of  the  UNCW 
Center  for  Marine  Science  Research 
have  received  a  renewal  grant  of 
$48,500  from  NASA  for  their 
research  on  space  flight  osteoporosis. 
This  is  a  condition  that  causes  loss 
of  bone  mass  in  astronauts  who 
spend  extended  periods  of  time  in 
the  weightlessness  of  outer  space. 
Dillaman  and  Roer's  research 
centers  on  decreased  blood  flow  to 
the  extremities  as  the  cause  for  space 
flight  osteoporosis,  which  they  have 
tested  on  rats  by  simulating  weight- 
less conditions. 


Z.  Smith  Reynolds  Grant 
The  Z.  Smith  Reynolds  Founda- 
tion has  given  a  grant  of  $75,000  to 
UNCW  to  formalize  planning  for 
regional  service,  a  goal  announced 
by  Chancellor  Leutze  in  July  1991. 

The  grant,  in  conjunction  with  a 
revamping  of  the  Office  of  Special 
Programs,  the  university's  external 
affairs  ami,  will  allow  UNCW  to 
plan  work  in  the  areas  of  economic 
and  community  development, 
human  resource  development,  and 
preservation  of  the  region's  natural 
resources.

donors  contributed  over  $850,000  to 
the  University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Wilmington  during  the  fiscal  year 
ending  June  30,  1991.  Alumni, 
parents,  friends,  trustees,  corpora- 
tions, and  foundations  were  all  part 
of  this  major  effort  to  assist  the 
campus  in  meeting  the  needs  of  over 
7,000  students. 

In  addition  to  these  private  gifts, 
the  university's  Office  of  Research 
Administration  received  $5,477,746 
in  contracts  and  grants  for  activities 
dealing  with  local,  state,  and 
national  concerns. 

Most  of  the  annual  fund  donors 
contributed  in  response  to  direct 
mail  appeal  or  telephone  calls  from 
students  who  worked  over  100 
evenings  in  the  advancement  office 
as  part  of  the  campaign.  There  was  a 
good  response  to  this  year's  theme, 
"Buy  UNCW  a  Cup  of  Coffee." 

The  importance  of  the  annual 
fund  drive  becomes  even  more  criti- 
cal as  the  university  looks  for  ways  to 
lessen  the  impact  of  mandatory 
tuition  increases  to  be  effective  this 
fall  semester.  Scholarships  play  a  key

role.  At  UNCW,  all  merit-based 
scholarships  depend  on  private  gifts. 
Through  the  annual  fund,  new 
scholarships  were  endowed  this  past 
year  while  others  were  awarded 
through  annual  gifts.  Other  programs 
such  as  support  for  the  wildflower 
preserve,  faculty  development, 
museum  collections,  books  for 
Randall  Library,  and  individual 
achievement  awards  were  made 
possible  with  these  gitts.  Some 
donors  have  even  established  no- 
interest  student  loan  funds. 

Through  the  use  of  its  founda- 
tion and  endowment,  UNCW  can 
assist  individual  donors  in  determin- 
ing their  own  ways  to  help  the  uni- 
versity. Others  are  including  the 
university  in  their  estate  plans  to 


create  scholarships  or  other  signifi- 
cant programs  of  interest.  Some 
have  chosen  to  create  major  gifts 
through  the  use  of  life  insurance. 
Still  others  have  chosen  to  set  up 
trusts  to  fund  programs  of  personal 
interest  and  of  interest  to  the  univer- 
sity. Often  this  is  done  in  honor  or 
memory  of  someone.  The  university 
advancement  office  is  available  to 
discuss  these  options  and  other 
possibilities. 

The  University  of  North 
Carolina  at  Wilmington  is  a  major 
success  story  and  much  ot  this  can 
be  attributed  to  the  generous 
support  of  people  who  wanted  to  be 
part  of  the  school's  growth.  The 
students,  faculty,  and  physical  facili- 
ties make  our  donors  proud  to  be 
associated  with  UNCW. 

Thanks  for  your  part  in  a 
successful  year.  We  look  forward  to 
the  1991-92  campaign  being  even 
more  popular.  1

MEETING  THE 
DEMANDS  OF  THE 

HIGH-TECH

Science  -  the  why  and  how  of 
things.  Remember  your  grade  school 
days  when  you  were  required  to 
memorize  plant  and  animal  phyla  or 
know  the  periodic  table  by  heart.7 
Can  you  hear  your  younger  self 
saying,  "Why  are  they  teaching  us 
this?  I'm  never  going  to  use  it!" 

UNCW,  in  conjunction  with 
East  Carolina  University,  recently 
received  a  $1.47  million  grant  from 
the  National  Science  Foundation  to 
restructure  science  teaching  and 
learning  methods  at  the  secondary 
school  level.  The  goal  is  to  bring 
excitement  and  hands-on  learning 
to  science  subjects  and  to  make 
science  relevant  to  students'  lives. 

"This  program  is  focused  on  a 
guided  inquiry  approach  to  learn- 
ing," said  David  Andrews,  co-direc- 
tor of  the  N.C.  Project  for  Reform  in 
Science  Education  and  associate 
professor  of  science  in  UNCW's 
School  of  Education.  "This  new 
method  allows  students  to  set  up 
experiments  and  to  develop 
hypotheses  that  help  them  under- 
stand how  scientists  investigate 
problems."  As  a  result,  students 
discover  scientific  concepts  for 
themselves.  They  acquire  problem 
solving  and  critical  thinking  skills 
that  enable  them  to  verbalize  these 


concepts  and  relate  them  to  various 
events  in  daily  living. 

Why  is  science  education 
reform  needed.7  According  to 
Andrews,  most  high  school  gradu- 
ates have  a  limited  understanding  of 
science  and  technology.  Over  one- 
half  of  the  students  in  the  United 
States  don't  take  another  science 
course  after  tenth  grade.  "This  is 
hurting  us  in  the  world  market  place. 
Many  of  today's  jobs  involve 
computers  and  high-tech  instrumen- 
tation. Without  a  solid  understand- 
ing of  science  to  draw  from,  our 
students  may  not  be  able  to  compete 
in  the  job  market,"  said  Andrews. 

The  reform  project  is  based  on 
the  model  developed  by  the 
National  Science  Teachers  Associa- 
tion (NSTA).  Referred  to  as  the 
Project  of  Scope,  Sequence  and 
Coordination  of  Secondary  School 
Science,  the  plan 
advocates  that  all 
students,  beginning  in 
sixth  grade,  study 
science  every  year 
until  graduation. 
Existing  science 
curriculums  require 
students  at  all  grade 
levels  to  memorize 
scientific  terminology, 
symbols,  and  equa- 
tions. The  new 
method  of  teaching 
science  begins  by 
introducing  sixth 
grade  students  to 
basic  scientific 
phenomena  before 


introducing  them  to  abstract  theo- 
ries and  terminology.  It  continues  to 
build  on  these  concepts  throughout 
their  middle  and  high  school 
careers.  "These  repeated  experi- 
ences in  different  contexts  will  show 
them  how  to  make  connections  to 
phenomena  in  the  world  and 
universe.  It  will  increase  their 
wonder  -  they'll  be  curious  and  want 
to  seek  out  new  information," 
said  Carolyn  Dunn,  the  project's 
director  for  instructional  design  and 
materials. 

As  opposed  to  the  traditional 
"layer  cake"  approach  in  which 
science  is  taught  in  year-long 
discrete  segments,  the  NSTA  project 
calls  for  spacing  out  and  coordinat- 
ing the  study  of  several  sciences. 
Several  units  covering  four  areas  of 
science  will  be  covered  during  the 
academic  year.  Included  are  biology

often  tried  to  teach  things  to 
students  before  they  were  ready," 
said  Dunn.  This  new  instructional 


A  UNCW  student  teacher  uses  new  teaching  methods  to  demonstrate  the  theory  of 
continental  drift  to  sixth  graders  at  Noble  Middle  School. 


By  teaching  the  sciences  as  part 
of  an  integrated  whole,  students  gain 
a  better  understanding  of  how  the 
sciences  fit  together  as  one  body  of 
knowledge.  And  by  relating  scien- 
tific phenomema  to  everyday 
occurences,  teachers  will  empower 
students  to  have  control  over  their 
lives. 

For  example,  a  unit  on  energy 
could  apply  biology  to  the  study  of 
ecosystems;  chemistry  to  energy  in 
the  human  body;  earth  and  space 
science  to  the  study  of  the  universe; 
and  physics  to  the  study  of  rockets. 
Drawing  from  the  world  around 
them  and  from  each  of  their  experi- 
ences, learning  becomes  ingrained  in 
the  student's  mind. 

Another  benefit  of  the  reform 
project  is  that  it  gives  teachers  a  lot 
of  flexibility  in  how  they  present 
the  instruction  material  thereby 
enabling  them  to  reach  different 
ability  levels  of  students  within  the 


approach  lets  teachers  and  students 
learn  together  and  talk  about  what 
they've  discovered.  The  teacher  is 
no  longer  the  "sage  on  the  stage,  but 
a  guide  on  the  side,"  said  Dunn. 

Students'  learning  will  be  eval- 
uated with  written  tests  asking  them 
to  explain  some  activity  within  a 
unit.  They  will  also  be  graded  on  the 
journals  they  keep  and  on  homework 
assignments.  Standardized  tests  will 
be  administered  as  well  to  measure 
students'  recall  of  information.  Their 
scores  will  be  adjusted  to  reflect  the 
difference  in  teaching  methods.  In 
addition,  perfomiance  based  tests 
will  be  given  to  measure  students' 
problem-solving  skills. 

Only  five  awards  for  reform  in 
science  education  were  made 
nationally.  These  include  Baylor 
College  of  Medicine,  the  University 
of  Iowa,  the  California  State  Depart- 
ment of  Education,  and  the  Univer- 
sity of  Puerto  Rico.  North  Carolina's 


is  the  only  project  being  imple- 
mented statewide. 

Seven  school  systems  within  the 
state  have  been  selected  as  test  sites 
for  the  program.  The  objective  was 
to  come  up  with  a  cross-section  of 
students  representative  of  different 
races,  socio-economic,  and  ethnic 
backgrounds.  These  include 
Buncombe  County  schools,  Char- 
lotte-Mecklenburg County  schools, 
Guilford  County  schools,  New 
Hanover  County  schools,  Pitt 
County  schools,  the  Winston- 
Salem/Forsyth  County  schools,  and 
the  Chapel  Hill/Carrboro  schools. 

"Any  school,  rich  or  poor,  urban 
or  rural  will  be  able  to  implement  the 
new  curriculum,"  said  Dunn. 
"Initially,  it  won't  require  expensive 
or  sophisticated  materials  although 
as  we  move  up  to  higher  levels  of 
abstraction  we'll  need  to  budget  to 
buy  more  expensive  equipment  to 
illustrate  these  concepts."

and  science  educators  along  with 
lead  teachers  at  project  schools  is 
developing  activities  to  match  the 
framework  of  the  project.  "We're 
really  involving  teachers  and  solicit- 
ing their  input.  They're  helping  in 
the  creative  process,"  said  Andrews. 
In  the  past,  a  typical  curriculum  was 
designed  without  involving  the 
teachers  -  they  were  just  asked  to 
implement  it.  By  getting  their  input 
the  committee  can  discern  it  the 
instructional  material  is  really  suit- 
able tor  a  particular  unit  and  if  the 
teachers  will  use  it.

ment  are  also  vital  to  the  program's 
success.  "We're  developing  activities 
for  families  and  other  support  groups 
that  will  enrich  and  extend  the  units 
being  covered  in  the  classroom,"  said 
Dunn. 

The  sixth  grade  science  curricu- 
lum was  the  first  to  be  developed. 
It  was  field  tested  this  past  spring  in 
classrooms  across  North  Carolina. 
Full  implementation  of  the  sixth 
grade  pilot  materials  will  begin  in  the 
fall,  said  Andrews.  Meanwhile,  the 
committee  is  beginning  to  develop 
the  curriculum  and  activities  for 
grades  seven  and  eight  which  will  be 
introduced  into  the  classroom 
during  the  '92— '93  academic  year. 
Funding  for  the  refonn  project  will 
last  through  the  development  of  the 
eighth  grade  curriculum.  Afterwards 
application  will  be  made  for  another 
grant  to  take  the  project  through  the 
high  school  grades. 

The  impact  of  the  reform 


project  is  great.  "We  predict  more 
minorities  and  females  will  begin  to 
study  science  at  advanced  levels  as 
a  result  of  this  new  approach  to 
teaching.  On  a  broader  level,  the 
refonn  project  will  lead  to  a  more 
scientifically  literate  society,"  said 
Andrews. 

"No  longer  will  students  be 
restricted  to  looking  for  the  'right 
answer'  They'll  be  encouraged  to 
explore  and  gather  evidence  to  sup- 
port their  hypotheses,"  said  Dunn. 
"We're  not  going  to  give  them 
answers  -  we're  going  to  teach  them 
how  to  ask  better  questions  about 
the  world  around  them."

"Unlike  a  printed  textbook,  text  on  disk 
can  be  customized  for  each  specific 
class.  And  the  cost  is  substantially  less/ 


While  textbook  costs  continue 
to  spiral,  one  UNCW  instructor  has 
devised  an  innovative  and  inexpen- 
sive tool  for  teaching.  Hal  Lander, 
English  faculty  member,  has  replaced 
the  traditional  textbook  for  fresh- 
man composition  with  a  "book"  he 
devised  on  computer  diskette. 

"I  couldn't  find  a  textbook  I 
liked  to  use  in  my  freshman  composi- 
tion course  so  I  developed  some 
exercises,  reading  passages,  and  tips 
on  writing  and  made  my  own  book," 
said  Lander. 

This  book,  which  includes  the 
course  syllabus,  assignments,  and 
sample  writings,  is  copied  onto 
diskettes  supplied  by  each  student. 
Students  can  read  these  books  on 
the  computers  in  labs  in  Morton 
Hall  or  Randall  Library  or  on  their 
personal  computers. 

Homework  is  written  and 
turned  in  on  another  disk,  as 
opposed  to  turning  in  an  assignment 
on  paper.  "During  class,  I  pass  one  of 
my  diskettes  around  and  have  the 
students  save  their  assignments  to 
it,"  said  Lander.  Lander  grades  and 
edits  the  assignments  on  diskette. 
He  then  recirculates  this  master  disk 
in  class  so  students  can  print  off  his 
comments. 

Students  are  enthusiastic  about 
this  new  teaching  approach,  said 
Lander.  "If  I  need  to  know  some- 
thing, I  don't  have  to  track  down  the 
teacher  -  everything  I  need  to  know 
is  right  there  on  the  disk,"  said 
student  Tracy  Durham.  "Working 
from  diskettes  is  a  lot  different  than 
working  f  om  a  book.  It's  exciting  to 
work  out  problems  on  the 
computer,"  said  Kevin  Hayden,  a 
student  majoring  in  social  work. 
"Doing  school  work  on  the 
computer  parallels  how  society  is 


advancing  technologically,"  said 
Cyndy  Moore,  freshman  accounting 
major.  "It  gives  us  exposure  to  skills 
we'll  need  in  the  job  market." 

Collaborative  learning  among 
Lander's  students  has  increased  as  a 
result  of  computer- assisted  teaching. 
"The  students  interact  more  with 
each  other.  They  become  more 
involved  with  problem  solving  in 
their  writing  through  this  interac- 
tion. This  builds  confidence.  Assign- 
ing group  tasks  on  the  computer  has 

fostered  this  envi-  „^ 

ronment,"  said 
Lander. 

Lander  likes 
working  from 
diskette  because  he 
no  longer  has  to 
carry  around  stacks 
of  papers  to  grade. 
"A  master  disk 
makes  it  easier  to 
keep  a  permanent 
record  of  everyone's 
papers  and  to  track 
the  progress  the 
students  are  making 
with  their  writing. 
At  the  end  of  the 
semester  when  I'm 
evaluating  how  well 
each  student  has 
done,  I  have  all  of  their 
work  in  front  of  me  in  chronological 
order  without  the  clutter  of  papers." 

Creating  and  inputing  the 
instructional  material  on  the 
computer  disk  is  no  small  feat. 
"Hundreds  of  hours  have  gone  in  to 
designing  this  disk  -  I've  really  got  a 
small  book  here!"  said  Lander. 
Unlike  a  printed  textbook,  text  on 
disk  can  be  customized  for  each 
specific  class.  And  the  cost  is 
substantially  less.  The  5  1/4"  disks

sell  for  $1  each  at  the  UNCW  book- 
store while  the  average  price  of  a 
freshman  composition  textbook  is 
$17.50. 

In  addition  to  teaching  English, 
Lander  is  the  coordinator  of 
compuster-assisted  instruction  in  the 
English  Department  and  stays 
abreast  of  new  software  packages. 
He  presents  workshops  to  faculty 
who  are  interested  in  using  comput- 
ers to  support  their  teaching. 

As  students  become  more 
computer  literate  and  have 
increased  access  to  computers  on 
campus,  Lander  plans  to  use  disks  in 
all  of  his  courses,  including  literature 
courses. 


- 


"I  encourage  colleagues  in  all 
disciplines  to  create  their  own  books 
on  disk.  It  saves  time  and  money 
during  the  semester  -  you  don't  have 
to  deal  with  all  those  handouts.  And 
a  book  on  diskette  gives  students  a 
handy  reference  tool,"  Lander  said. 

Traditional  learning  tools  are 
quickly  becoming  obsolete.  Today's 
books  and  notebooks  are  tomorrow's 
diskettes  and  computer  files.  1

Computing  services  run  the 
gamut  at  UNCW  From  a  central 
computing  facility  referred  to  as  the 
VAXcluster  or  mainframe  to  micro- 
computer labs  found  in  classroom 
buildings,  the  university  community 
has  access  to  a  wealth  of  computer 
resources. 

Communications  networks 
available  to  faculty,  students,  and 
staff  allow  users  with  VAXcluster 
accounts  to  send  messages  or  log 
onto  computer  systems  around  the 
world.  The  university  is  connected 
to  BITNET,  a  communications 
network  of  over  2,000  computers  at 
more  than  400  universities  and 
research  centers  throughout  the 
United  States,  Canada,  Europe,  and 
Asia.  Access  to  Internet,  which 
connects  government,  industry,  and 
education  on  several  networks,  is 
also  provided.  Messages  can  be  sent 


to  colleagues  around  the  world  for  a 
minimal  cost  to  the  university. 

Massive  storage  space  for  saving 
and  working  with  information  is 
made  possible  through  the  univer- 
sity's VAXcluster  with  its  1 2  giga- 
bytes (1  billion  characters)  of  mass 
storage  space.  "The  VAXcluster 
allows  us  to  pool  our  computer 
power  to  share  among  academic  and 
administrative  users,"  said  George 
Quinn,  UNCW  director  of  comput- 
ing and  information  systems. 

Videotext  is  one  of  the  newest 
programs  available  on  the  VAXclus- 
ter. It  serves  as  the  information  data 
base  for  university  activities.  Contin- 
ually updated,  it  includes,  among 
other  information,  tacts  about  the 
university,  current  news  releases, 
campus  news,  a  calendar  of  events, 
and  a  faculty,  staff  and  student  direc- 
tory. Videotext  can  be  accessed  off 


campus  by  dial-in  modem.  On 
campus  it  can  be  entered  by  those 
with  access  to  the  VAXcluster  and 
via  dedicated  terminals  in  Randall 
Library,  the  University  Center,  and 
Wagoner  Hall  or  any  general  use 
terminal  or  microcomputer  in  labs  or 
offices  connected  to  the  VAXcluster. 

UNCW's  Videotext  is  inter- 
connected with  similar  systems  at 
North  Carolina  State  University 
the  University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Chapel  Hill,  Appalachian  State 
University  and  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  at  Greensboro.  Plans 
are  underway  to  complete  connec- 
tions with  all  of  the  campuses  in  the 
UNC  system. 

Another  on-campus  use  of  the 
VAXcluster  is  the  grading  of  student 
tests  and  faculty  evaluations.  The 
VAXcluster  also  provides  authorized 
faculty  and  graduate  students  access

to  the  Cray  Y-MP8/432  supercom- 
puter, located  in  Research  Triangle 
Park,  N.C.,  one  of  the  largest  super- 
computers on  the  east  coast,  said 
Quinn. 

The  administrative  function  of 
the  VAXcluster  includes  support 
of  a  total  management  information 
system:  the  Student  Information 
System  that  deals  with  students' 
records;  the  Financial  Records 
System  that  handles  university 
accounting  and  purchasing;  and  the 
Human  Resources  System  that 
records  personnel  information.  A 
new  Alumni  Development  System 
is  in  the  process  of  coming  online 
and  will  he  completed  in  the  near 
future. 

The  academic  function  of  the 
VAXcluster  supports  course  work, 
research,  and  communication  by 
students  in  nearly  all  departments. 
Several  microcomputer  and  terminal 
labs  are  available  across  campus  for 
general  student  use.  This  fall 
semester  a  new  general  access  micro- 
computer/terminal student  lab  will 
be  available  in  Belk  Residence  Hall. 
The  lab  will  provide  processing  on 
eight-station  networked  stand-alone 
microcomputers;  or  the  microcom- 
puters can  emulate  VAX  terminals 
and  connect  to  the  campus  data 
network.  This  will  provide  access  for 
the  students,  from  their  residence 
hall,  to  all  computing  and  library 
resources  on  and  off  campus. 

Students  in  the  Cameron 
School  of  Business  Administration 
have  opportunities  to  use  dedicated 
microcomputer  hardware  and  soft- 
ware in  computer  laboratories  in 
Cameron  Hall.  A  variety  of  packages 
is  used  to  support  classroom  and 
research  activities  in  database 
management,  financial  and  account- 
ing spreadsheet  analysis,  computer- 
assisted  design  and  project 
management,  expert  systems,  graph- 
ics, word  and  data  processing,  and 
statistical  analysis. 


Student  teachers  at  UNCW 
learn  the  fundamentals  of  using 
computers  in  the  classroom  by  train- 
ing in  the  microcomputer  laboratory 
operated  by  the  School  of  Education 
and  the  Science  and  Mathematics 
Education  Center.  Hands-on  experi- 
ence in  word  processing,  database 
management,  and  spreadsheets  is 
offered.  Teachers  use  the  lab  for 
workshops  and  courses  covering 
topics  such  as  programming, 
computer  graphics,  and  math  tool 
software. 

Other  departments  and  schools 
using  computers  in  their  course  work 
include  English,  psychology,  chem- 
istry, political  science,  sociology,  fine 
arts,  athletics,  and  biology  as  well  as 
the  School  of  Nursing  and  the  Grad- 
uate School.  UNCW's  Center  for 
Marine  Science  Research  maintains

"The  university  has  been  able  to 
combine  its  resources  to  serve  both 
administrative  and  academic  needs," 


UNCW  has 
recently  provided 
the  New  Hanover 

County  school 

system  with  access 

to  the  VAXcluster. 

This  enables 

public  school 

faculty  to  log  onto 

Internet,  allowing 

them  to  interact

said  Quinn.  "The  university's 
administration  continues  to  provide 
the  support  for  UNCW  to  stay 
abreast  of  the  latest  computing  tech- 
nology available  for  our  students, 
faculty,  and  staff." 

According  to  Quinn,  202 
courses  at  UNCW  required  work 
completed  on  the  VAXcluster 
during  the  1990-91  academic  year. 
This  amounted  to  6,108  student 
VAX  accounts.  Thirty-five  student 
workers  assisted  in  the  campus 
microlabs  last  year,  logging  14,925 
hours  and  recording  41,952  contacts 
with  users. 

Supplementing  the  university's 
central  computing  center  is  the 
SEQUENT  computer  in  the  Depart- 
ment of  Mathematical  Sciences.  It  is 
the  primary-  instructional  system  for 
course  work  in  mathematical  and 
computer  sciences.  A  Silicon  Graph- 
ics and  a  SUN  SPARCstation  1 
workstation  support  mathematical 
modeling  and  other  research 
conducted  by  UNCW  mathematics 
professors. 

Randall  Library  relies  heavily  on 
its  stand-alone  computer  system,  the 
LS-2000.  It  supports  an  online  circu-

Fog  writhes  upward  from  the 
tranquil  surface  of  the  tiny  pond  .  .  . 
mist  on  glass.  The  hazy  shadows  of 
tall  pines  and  cypresses  take  fonrt 
against  the  lightening  sky.  There  is 
the  stillness  of  those  moments  when 
the  day  and  night  creatures  trade 
shifts. 

The  metallic  blink  of  the  camera 
eye  disturbs  the  quiet.  With  the 
unnatural  sound,  other  man-made 
disturbances  become  noticeable. 
The  roar  of  the  nearby  highway 
increases  with  the  beginning  of  the 
morning  rush  hour.  Two  joggers 
laugh  as  they  pass  on  the  dewy  path. 

An  observer  watching  the  sun 
rise  over  the  pond  in  the  Herbert 
Bluethenthal  Memorial  Wildilower 
Preserve  might  easily  be  in  any  forest 
in  Southeastern  North  Carolina.  In 
the  solitude  of  dawn,  it  is  easy  to 
forget  that  the  preserve  is  only  a  10- 
acre  plot  in  the  middle  of  theUNCW 
campus.  As  the  day  progresses 


though,  the  daily  sounds  of  campus 
life  filter  through  the  foliage.  The 
thump  of  high-powered  car  stereos 
and  the  calls  and  shouts  of  students 
remind  one  of  the  proximity  of  the 
"real"  world. 

Initiated  with  a  donation  from 
the  widow  of  Herbert  Bluethenthal, 
a  resident  of  Wilmington,  the 
preserve  was  set  aside 
in  1973  by  the  UNCW 
Board  of  Trustees.  It 
contains  a  varied 
sampling  of  local  plant 
environments.  One 
may  choose  to  walk 
through  the  pine 
forest  to  view  the  long 
leaf  pines.  At  the 
other  end  of  the 
preserve  one  can 
observe  the  swampy 
pocosin  or  the  gum 
and  cypress  lowland. 
Following  the  well- 
tended  trail  through

the  thick  brush  of  the  canebrake,  the 
sojourner  will  top  a  hill  and  look 
down  onto  a  tiny  pond.  Just  past  the 
pond,  there  is  an  open  meadow 
where,  during  the  late  spring  and 
summer  months,  insectivorous 
plants  such  as  the  pitcher  plant  and 
venus  flytrap,  await  their  prey. 

In  the  spring  a  sense  of  newness

pervades  the  woods,  emanating  from 
the  buds  and  new  greenery  of  the 
maples  and  gum  trees.  The  lush 
undergrowth  of  the  canebrake  can 
be  fully  appreciated  in  the  summer, 
while  cattails  expand  and  burst  in 
the  marsh  of  the  pond  and  the 
pocosin. 

In  the  late  summer  and  early 
fall,  wildflower  lovers  may  view  the 
colorful  blossoms  of  Autumn 
Gentian  or  Blazing  Star. 

Even  in  the  starkness  of  winter, 
the  preserve  has  a  kind  of  majesty: 
the  bare  grey  trunks  of  deciduous 


trees  stand  like  fumbled  columns  in 
some  mad  architect's  dreamscape. 

The  preserve  also  offers  an 
opportunity  to  bird  watchers. 

Native  songbirds  flit  among  the 
branches  of  the  turkey  and  blackjack 
oaks.  Crows  caw  from  the  tops  of  the 
pines.  Herons  stalk  the  shallow 
edges  of  the  pond  for  minnows  and 
frogs.  Hawks  cruise  silently  above 
the  treetops,  scanning  the  ground  for 
inattentive  squirrels.  A  careful  and 
quiet  observer  might  spot  an  owl 
resting  from  the  night's  hunt  in  the 
branches  of  a  tall  cypress. 

The  area  provides  a  home  to 
some  wildlife,  although  the 
construction  of  residence  halls  and 
roads  has  limited  the  variety  to 
smaller  creatures.  Squirrels  play  tag 


around  the  trunks  of  hickory  trees, 
chattering  and  screeching.  Their 
nests  dot  the  treetops.  Lizards  and 
blue -tailed  skinks,  disturbed  from 
sunning  themselves,  scurry  for  shel- 
ter beneath  the  carpet  of  dead  leaves 
at  the  approach  of  human  footsteps. 
Turtles'  heads  protrude  like  peri- 
scopes from  the  surface  of  the  pond. 
Along  the  muddy  bank,  a  line  of 
tracks  like  tiny  human  hands  indi- 
cate that  a  raccoon  passed  by  during 
the  night,  probably  pausing  for  a 
drink.  Tunnel-like  trails,  worn  by  the 
passage  of  rabbits  through  the  "cat 
claw"  briars, 
bring  to  mind 
images  of  Joel 
Chandler 
Harris'  "Br'er 
Rabbit". 

Human 
animals,  too, 
find  a  place  in 
the  preserve, 
which  is  open 
to  visitors 
seven  days  a 
week.  Biology 
classes  come 
on  plant  iden- 
tification field 
trips.  A  literature  class  may  visit 
while  studying  Thoreau  to  get  a 
sense  of  how  Walden  must  have 
been.  A  poet  may  use  the  surround- 
ings to  work  out  a  troublesome  line. 
Individuals  find  a  quiet  place  to 
study,  meditate,  or  just  to  be  alone 
with  their  thoughts  and  nature. 
Couples  walk  the  wooded  paths 
together,  sharing  secrets  and, 
perhaps,  plans  for  the  future. 

The  rising  wind  rushes  through 
the  tree  tops.  The  whispering  sigh 
muffles  the  intrusive  outside  sounds, 
blowing  away  the  noise  of  civilized 
life.  The  camera  eye  focuses  on  the 
swoop  of  a  sparrow  hawk  -  the  grace- 
ful curve  of  the  wings,  the  lethal 
design  of  the  raptor's  beak,  the 
translucent  tips  of  wing  feathers  -  all 


could  be  captured  in  l/250th  of  a 
second.  But  the  eyelid  does  not 
blink.  The  camera  mind  does  not 
want  to  disturb  the  beauty  again. 
The  moment  passes  as  the  hawk 
disappears  into  the  treetops.

The  Bluethenthal  Wildflower 
Preserve  is  open  seven  days  a  week, 
every  day  of  the  year.  Students, 
faculty,  staff,  and  the  general  public 
are  welcomed  to  visit.  The  preserve 
is  located  just  behind  the  University 
Union.  Adjacent  to  the  parking  lot 
that  serves  the  preserve,  a  trail  leads 
to  the  well-marked  pathways. 
There,  people  may  hike  through  the 
woods  or  just  stop  and  relax  on  one 
of  the  benches  that  dot  the  walkways. 
Pamphlets  that  contain  a  map  of 
the  area  and  some  basic  information 
are  available  at  the  entrance.  While 
tours  of  the  preserve  are  intended 
to  be  self-guided,  guided  tours  may 
be  arranged  by  contacting  the 
UNCW  Department  of  Biological 
Sciences. 

Food  and  beverages  are  permit- 
ted inside  the  preserve  and  the  area 
around  the  pond  is  a  great  spot  for 
picnics.  Trash  cans  are  provided  and 
visitors  are  encouraged  to  use  them. 
Visitors  are  also  requested  not  to 
remove  or  disturb  any  plant  or 
animal  life. 

The  preserve  is  dedicated  to  the 
preservation  of  the  rich  and  varied 
flora  of  Southeastern  North  Carolina 
and  has  been  designed  to  provide  a 
place  of  contentment  and  pleasure 
for  those  who  enjoy  and  appreciate 
our  native  plants.  New  plants  are 
added  regularly  and  contributions 
are  welcomed.  Anyone  interested  in 
volunteering  time  to  the  main- 
tenance of  the  preserve  is  asked  to

There's  a 


DOCTOR 

in  the  house 


UNCW  Student  Health  &  Wellness  Center 


Walking  by  the  old  student  cafe- 
teria you  might  just  hear  the  rumble 
of  construction  work.  The  building  is 
being  renovated  to  become  the  new 
home  of  UNCW's  health  services. 
Currently  housed  in  the  Burney 
Student  Support  Center  near  the 
Student  Union,  the  Student  Health 
and  Wellness  Center  will  move  to  its 
new  location  in  late  October. 

The  center  provides  diagnosis 
and  treatment  for  students'  basic 
health  problems.  They  can  visit  the 
center  for  common  ailments  such  as 
colds  and  flus,  minor  injuries,  and 
general  medical  problems.  A  wide 
range  of  laboratory  tests  is  also  avail- 
able. 

In  addition,  the  wellness  center 
handles  weight  control  and  nutrition 
counseling,  crisis  intervention  and 
referral,  and  contraceptive  counsel- 
ing. The  center  takes  an  active  role 
in  informing  students  about  sexually 
transmitted  diseases,  a  major  issue 
facing  college  students  in  the  1990s. 

The  staff  at  the  wellness  center 
makes  an  effort  to  stress  the  im- 
portance of  good  health  to  students 
with  every  visit  and  to  discuss  the 
problem  that  brought  the  student  to 
the  center.  The  wellness  center  often 


refers  students  to  the  LivWELL 
Center,  its  outreach  program,  for 
health  education  programs. 

When  the  treatment  needed  by 
a  student  exceeds  the  capabilities  of 
the  Student  Health  and  Wellness 
Center,  they  are  referred  to  local 
specialists  at  New  Hanover  Regional 
Medical  Center  or  Cape  Fear  Hospi- 
tal. Any  costs  incurred  become  the 
responsibility  of  the  student. 

Dr.  Kathleen  Jewell  is  the  direc- 
tor of  the  wellness  center.  She  des- 
cribes her  job  as  "part-time  clinical 
and  part-time  administrative."  She 
supervises  all  of  the  workers  at  the 
wellness  center  and  oversees  its 
operation,  in  addition  to  seeing 
patients  on  a  one-to-one  basis. 

The  Student  Health  and 

Wellness  Center  sees 

between  7,000  and  8,000 

patients  each  school 

year,  close  to  the  total 

number  of  students 

enrolled  at  UNCW. 


She  is  in  her  third  of  a  five-year 
contract  with  the  university.  Jewell 
enjoys  her  work  at  the  university, 
despite  the  long  hours  she  puts  in. 

Bill  Bryan,  vice  chancellor  for 
student  affairs,  works  closely  with 
Dr.  Jewell  to  see  that  students  are 
provided  with  high  quality  health 
care  during  their  years  at  UNCW 
Bryan  believes  that  health  education 
is  equally  important  as  health  care. 
He  wants  the  students  to  become 
responsible  and  knowledgeable 
about  their  own  health. 

Despite  the  high  qualify  of  its 
sendees,  the  wellness  center  has  a 
recurring  problem  with  the  number 
of  students  it  is  able  to  see  on  any 
given  day.  "We  are  understaffed  - 
demand  outstrips  supply,"  Jewell 
explained.  She  also  cited  the  limited 
number  of  examining  rooms  as  a 
problem. 

Despite  its  limitations,  students 
coming  into  the  office  on  any  given 
day  without  an  appointment  are 
generally  seen  during  that  day. 
Students  arriving  late  in  the  after- 
noon are  seen  during  the  next  work- 
ing day. 

The  Student  Health  and  Well- 
ness Center  sees  between  7,000  and 


FALL    91

FALL    91 


8,000  patients  each  school  year, 
close  to  the  total  number  of  students 
enrolled  at  UNCW.  This  is  a  small 
number  compared  to  other  universi- 
ties in  the  state.  For  example,  East 
Carolina  University  sees  50,000 
patients  a  year,  three  to  four  times 
the  amount  of  students  it  enrolls, 
according  to  Jewell. 

Between  1989  and  1990  the 
wellness  center  saw  a  33  percent 
increase  in  the  amount  of  students  it 
treated.  Jewell  attributes  this  rise  to 
the  upgraded  efficiency  of  the 


Dr.  Kathleen  Jewel 

center's  operation.  Instead  of  using 
examination  rooms  to  give  allergy 
shots,  take  medical  histories,  or 
handle  referrals,  students  are  seen  in 
the  center's  inner  hallway.  This 
cuts  down  on  the  amount  of 
privacy  students  are  allowed  but 
Jewell  says  most  students  don't  mind 
if  it  means  they  can  be  seen  more 
quickly. 


The  wellness  center  is  sup- 
ported by  a  portion  of  student  fees 
paid  by  all  enrolled  students  ($49  per 
semester  for  students  enrolled  in  six 
hours  of  classes  or  more) .  This  allows 
students  to  use  the  majority  of  the 
wellness  center's  services  free  of 
charge.  There  is  a  small  charge, 
however,  for  allergy  shots,  pap 
smears,  and  contraceptive  exams. 

Jewell  believes  that  minimal 
charges  for  such  services  as  preg- 
nancy tests,  mono  and  strep  tests 
might  reduce  demand  for  services 
used  the  most  by  students.  She  esti- 
mates that  currently  1,000  strep 
tests  alone  are  administered  each 
semester. 

In  a  recent  student  survey,  7 1 
percent  of  students  surveyed  said 
they  would  be  willing  to  pay  min- 
imal charges  for  services.  Bryan  has 
reservations  about  charging  students. 
He  is  concerned  that  students  who 


has  six  examination  rooms  and  one 
check-in  room.  The  new  center  will 
have  seven  examination  rooms,  two 
check-in  rooms,  a  treatment  room, 
and  a  room  for  treating  allergy 
patients. 

Breathing  treatments,  check-ins, 
blood  drawing,  and  other  procedures 
that  take  up  valuable  exam  room 
time  at  the  cunent  center  will  have 
space  designated  for  them  in  the  new 
center,  freeing  other  exam  rooms  for 
more  extensive  patient  visits. 

In  addition,  the  new  center  will 
be  equipped  with  a  pharmacy,  some- 
thing students  have  been  wanting 
for  years.  It  will  be  managed  by 
UNCW's  Margaret  Robison,  direc- 
tor of  auxiliary  services.  She  expects 
the  pharmacy  to  open  by  fall  1992. 
Final  decisions  concerning  the 
details  of  its  operation  have  not  been 
made. 

In  addition,  the  wellness

need  health  care  might  stay  away  if 
they  were  required  to  pay  for  health 
services. 

This  survey  also  indicated  that 
72  percent  of  the  students  rated  the 
treatment  given  by  the  wellness 
center  as  superior  or  excellent,  and 
82  percent  said  UNCW's  health 
services  fulfilled  their  needs. 

These  positive  feelings  about  the 
Student  Health  and  Wellness  Center 
can  only  increase  when  a  new,  reno- 
vated center  opens  this  fall. 

The  entire  second  floor  of  the 
old  cafeteria  has  been  gutted  to 
make  room  for  offices,  examining 
rooms,  and  a  pharmacy.  This  new 
location  will  also  house  the 
LivWELL  Center  which  handles 
health  education,  and  the  Student 
Development  Center,  the  univer- 
sity's counseling  service. 

Currently  the  wellness  center 


center's  new  location  will  be 
equipped  with  a  health  reference 
library  filled  with  books  and  video- 
tapes that  will  be  available  to 
students. 

Jewell  hopes  to  expand  her  staff 
when  the  new  center  opens.  She  will 
assess  the  center's  operation  in  its 
new  location  and  then  decide  the 
number  and  type  of  staff  members 
she  needs.  She  currently  has  one 
physician's  assistant,  one  full-time 
and  one  part-time  nurse. 

They  are  all  allowed  to  diagnose, 
treat,  and  prescribe  medications.  Dr. 
Jewell  is  required  to  approve  their 
medical  determinations. 

The  Student  Health  and  Well- 
ness Center  will  be  able  to  expand  its 
services  in  its  new  location  and  fulfill 
the  needs  of  UNCW's  students  with 
greater  ease  and  speed.  Ml

SPEAKING      OUT 
FOR      CHILDREN 

GUARDIAN 
AD  LITEM 


Judy  Page,  guardian  ad  litem. 


by  Carolyn  Basse 

A  growing  number  of  children 
these  days  are  born  with  crack 
cocaine  in  their  systems.  They  begin 
life  with  two  parents  who  are 
addicted  to  drugs,  controlled  by 
substance  abuse  and  unable  to  take 
care  of  them. 

These  children  are  typical  of 
the  clients  Judy  Page  '84  sees  in  her 
work  as  guardian  ad  litem  in  New 
Hanover  County.  "A  guardian  ad 
litem  is  a  court- appointed  volunteer 
that  represents  minors,  children 
under  the  age  of  18,  who  have  been 
abused  or  neglected,"  she  said.  "The 
purpose  of  the  guardian  is  to  look  at 
the  situation  objectively,  to  inter- 
view and  meet  with  all  the  children 
involved  and  the  parents  and  the 
relatives . . .  Our  primary  role  is  to 
look  at  what's  best  for  the  children," 
she  added. 

Guardians  work  for  the  children, 
advocating  for  the  placement  that 


will  give  the  child  a  stable,  perma- 
nent home.  The  guardian  makes  a 
recommendation  to  the  child's 
lawyer  before  court  proceedings  as  to 
what  would  be  in  the  best  interest  of 
the  child's  future.  The  lawyer  argues 
the  child's  case  in  court.  That  is, 
whether  they  should  remain  in  the 
parents'  custody  or  be  turned  over  to 
a  relative  or  guardian.  A  guardian  ad 
litem  does  not  take  active  custody  of 
the  children  they  work  with. 

The  guardian  ad  litem  program 
in  North  Carolina  was  created  in 
1983.  They  are  the  only  volunteer 
workers  in  the  North  Carolina  judi- 
cial system. 

Last  year  1 ,803  new  cases  of 
child  neglect  and  abuse  were 
reported  in  New  Hanover  County 
and  617  cases  were  substantiated 
when  neglect  or  abuse  was  proven. 
Approximately  60  of  these  cases 
went  to  court  and  had  a  guardian  ad 
litem  appointed.  This  was  in  addi- 


tion to  the  ongoing  cases  that  hadn't 
been  closed. 

Cases  go  to  court  only  after  the 
Department  of  Social  Sendees  has 
exhausted  all  of  its  efforts  to  keep 
families  together  and  to  work  on 
problems  internally.  Page  is  one  of  44 
guardians  that  handle  cases  in  New 
Hanover  County.  The  guardian  ad 
litem  office  in  Wilmington  works 
with  about  400  children  per  year, 
amounting  to  approximately  200 
cases. 

Page  said  that  most  of  the  cases 
she  handles  involve  parents  who  are 
substance  abusers.  "When  people 
are  under  the  influence  of  drugs  they 
become  irresponsible  and  the  chil- 
dren end  up  suffering,"  she  said. 

"They  are  unable  to  take  care  of 
their  kids.  They  don't  make  sure  they 
are  fed.  They  don't  see  that  they  are 
clothed.  Many  times  their  kids  go  to 
school  hungry  and  dirty.  They're 
often  left  to  fend  for  themselves."

She  added  that  in  the  majority 
of  cases  the  families  have  low 
incomes  or  no  incomes  at  all  and 
that  local  communities  can  help 
break  the  poverty  cycle  by  pro- 
viding more  job  training  programs 
for  parents.  "Everybody  tells  them  to 
get  a  job,  but  it's  not  that  easy.  They 
need  skills,"  she  said. 

An  example  of  a  case  Page  deals 
with  is  children  born  with  crack 
cocaine  in  their  systems.  "The  early 
stages  of  a  case  require  the  biggest 
investment  of  time,"  she  said. "This  is 
when  I  get  to  know  the  children  I'll 
be  representing."  Once  establishing  a 
rapport,  Page  begins  to  discuss  the 
problems  they  have  been  having. 
When  the  case  closes,  Page  stays  in 
touch  with  families  to  see  that  every- 
thing is  going  well  and  to  make 
formal  reports  to  the  court  docu- 
menting that  the  judge's  stipulations 
have  been  carried  out. 

She  said  the  most  difficult  cases 


the  best  indicators  of  a  problem 
is  the  way  children  react  to  the 
person  accused  in  an  interpersonal 
setting. 

Page  is  well  suited  for  her 
volunteer  work  as  a  guardian  ad 
litem.  She  earned  her  degree  in 
special  education  from  UNCW  in 
1984-  Her  experience  with  children 
goes  back  to  her  high  school  years. 
She  volunteered  as  a  counselor  at  a 
summer  day  camp  for  the  mentally 
disabled.  "I  had  a  sister  that  I  took 
with  me.  She  left  early  because  she 
was  crying  -  she  was  scared,"  Page 
said.  "I  always  felt  comfortable  with 
special  needs  kids.  They  are  people 
who  happened  to  be  born  in  this 
world  as  they  are.  They  didn't  ask  to 
be  bom  like  that." 

In  addition  to  working  as  a 
guardian  ad  litem,  Page  is  a  teacher 
of  behaviorally  and  emotionally 
disabled  children  at  Mary  C. 
Williams  Elementary  School  in 


"A  guardian  ad  litem  is  a  court-appointed 

volunteer  that  represents  minors,  children 

under  the  age  of  18,  who  have  been  abused 

or  neglected/'  she  said.  "The  purpose  of 

the  guardian  is  to  look  at  the  situation 

objectively,  to  interview  and  meet  with  all  the 

children  involved  and  the  parents  and  the 

relatives  . . .  Our  primary  role  is  to  look  at 

what's  best  for  the  children." 


are  those  that  involve  very  young 
children.  "You  have  to  be  objective 
about  how  much  of  what  they  say  is 
reality,  and  how  much  is  based  on 
what  other  people  say  ...  I  keep 
observing  and  asking  and  listening 
until  I  feel  comfortable  with  my 
recommendation."  Page  said  one  of 


Wilmington.  Her  class  consists  of 
students  who  are  unable  to  succeed 
in  a  normal  classroom  -  they  cannot 
sit  through  classes,  get  along  with 
other  students  or  the  teacher. 

Page's  class  is  designed  to  teach 
behavior  management.  This  means 
that  the  children  are  taught  to 


control  their  behavior  in  a  classroom 
setting.  Behavior  management 
differs  from  behavior  modification,  a 
program  that  teaches  behavior 
change  in  all  the  settings  children 
encounter. 

The  highly  structured  class  is 
based  on  earning  points  for  complet- 
ing assignments  and  for  behaving 
well  in  class.  "We  aren't  taking  away 
points,  we  encourage  the  students  to 
earn  them,"  Page  said.  As  time  goes 
on,  more  students  will  need  pro- 
grams like  the  behavior  management 
class  she  teaches,  according  to  Page. 
"We  have  a  new  breed  of  children 
in  the  school  systems  now,"  she  said. 
"It  anyone  is  going  to  continue  to 
teach  in  the  school  systems  and  be 
successful  at  it,  they'll  have  to  know 
not  only  how  to  teach  but  how  to 
discipline."  She  cited  the  rising 
number  of  dysfunctional  homes  and 
increased  drug  use  as  major  causes  of 
problems  for  children  in  the  school 
setting. 

Prior  to  working  with  students 
with  behavioral  and  emotional  prob- 
lems, Page  worked  with  a  class  of 
children  who  had  various  problems 
including  the  mentally  handicapped, 
learning  disabled,  behaviorally 
and/or  emotionally  handicapped. 
She  taught  them  in  a  single  class 
because  they  functioned  oh  similar 
levels. 

Does  she  make  a  difference  in 
the  lives  of  the  children  she  teaches? 
Page  believes  she  does.  "I  provide  an 
opportunity  for  them  to  receive 
some  knowledge  in  academic  areas 
that  would  not  be  accessible  to  them 
in  regular  placement." 

Page  has  hope  for  the  children 
she  works  with,  both  in  and  out  of 
the  classroom.  "No  matter  how 
awful  it  is,  they  can  make  it  if  they 
have  the  right  motivators  in  their 
lives."  Maybe  that  motivator  is 
Judy  Page.   I

Meet  Your  New  Alumni 
Association  Chair 


As  the  1991-92  school  year  begins,  so  too  does  the  work  of  your  UNCW 
Alumni  Association.  Like  the  university,  the  alumni  association  has  made 
great  strides  hut  the  greatest  accomplishments  are  yet  to  come.  As  the  associa- 
tion's chair,  it  is  my  goal  to  involve  more  alumni  in  the  exciting  progress  of  our 
university  by  tapping  each  person's  unique  talents  and  interests.  There  are 
numerous  ways  for  you  to  become  involved! 

Alumni  association  board  meetings  are  held  quarterly,  with  the  February 
meeting  designated  as  a  general  meeting  open  to  all  alumni.  The  board 
consists  of  2 1  elected  members  who  serve  three-year  terms,  a  representative 
from  each  of  the  alumni  chapters,  and  representatives  from  the  current 
student  body.  Members  include  people  working  in  the  judicial  system,  educa- 
tion, banking,  civil  service,  and  business.  Graduates  from  the  classes  of  the  50s, 
60s,  70s,  and  80s  serve  and  we  anticipate  election  of  one  or  more  representa- 
tives from  the  90s. 

The  association  currently  sponsors  eight  chapters  in  North  Carolina  and 
Richmond,  Virginia.  Chapter  events  are  held  throughout  the  year.  We  also 
host  several  pre -game  socials  during  the  Seahawk  basketball  season.  These 
get-togethers  are  a  fun  way  to  meet  with  classmates  and  rekindle  school  spirit! 

Homecoming  plays  a  major  role  in  bringing  alumni  back  to  UNCW  It 
presents  opportunities  for  friends  to  reminisce  about  their  college  days  and  to 
become  familiar  with  our  ever-growing  alma  mater.  As  part  of  the  homecom- 
ing festivities,  alumni  awards  are  presented  to  outstanding  alumni  and  friends 
of  the  university.  And  we  are  considering  adding  class  reunions  to  the  home- 
coming festivities.  Look  for  future  announcements. 

The  alumni  association  is  also  active  in  supporting  UNCW  faculty  and 
students  through  special  departmental  funding  and  scholarships.  Another  key 
program  we  support  is  the  UNCW  Ambassadors,  students  who  distinguish 
themselves  by  serving  at  many  university  functions. 

As  you  can  see,  your  association  plays  an  important  part  in  the  life  of  the 
university  and  we  hope  to  do  more.  Our  fund  raising  has  more  than  doubled  in 
the  past  three  years  and  we  hope  to  reach  the  $100,000  mark  this  year. 

We  have  the  opportunity  to  do  great  things  in  the  coming  years.  I  invite 
each  of  you  to  become  more  active  in  your  alumni  association  and  in  chapter 
activities.  I  look  forward  to  meeting  as  many  of  you  as  possible.  Please  teel  free 
to  write  to  me  in  care  of  the  UNCW  Advancement  Office  if  you  have 
comments  or  questions  concerning  the  UNCW  Alumni  Association. 

Sincerely, 
Don  Evans

PRELUDE 


Winter  Coastal 

Fifty- six  squadron  pelicans 
snake  toward  the  pinking  sun 
and  tiny  eiders  turn  tail 
up  to  duck  for  tidbits. 
What  greensilver  magic 
this  briny  bowl  of  riplets 
coming  home  to  shock  my  feet 
into  December. 
No  Christmas  here. 
Just  Spring  strolling  across 
a  winter  day. 

The  sea  kale  dares  to  creep 

toward  the  ocean 

secure  in  the  reach  of  sentinel  oats. 

The  sea  kale  shivers  here 

too  young  to  know  this 

is  not  spring. 

I  came  in  April  with  friend  and  pocket 

to  pick  plump  leaflets 

tasting  of  pepper-spinach. 

I  come  alone  on  Christmas  Day 

bewildered  to  see  the  sea  kale 

brave  before  the  crippling  cold. 

She  will  die  before  her  time. 

When  softest  lavender 

sips  the  pink  of  sunset  and 

lies  down  blue  silk 

across  the  silver  bed  of  Neptune 

When  duneshadow  bleeds  gray 

like  sleep  across  a  warm  sand  blanket 

When  sand  and  seaspray  cling 

like  thirst  to  mouth  and  eye 

I  turn  my  face  to  the  Evening  Star 

and  savor  her  wine. 

Night  drags  itself  across  the  beach 
on  heavy  slippered  feet 
weights  the  restless  waves 
into  timid  curtsies. 
The  spotched  seagulls  one-legged 
hunched  in  dingy  wintercoats 
sudden  leap  into  flight 
windward  into  the  dunes 
winging  the  last  breath 
of  dusk.

FACULTY 

Kaylor  Returns  to  Teaching 

Norman  R.  Kaylor,  dean  of  the 
Cameron  School  of  Business  Admin- 
istration, has  announced  that  he  will 
step  down  as  dean  effective  June  30, 
1992.  He  will  return  to  the  faculty  as 
a  full-time  member  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Accountancy  and  Business 
Law. 

Kaylor,  58,  joined  the  UNCW 
faculty  in  1971  in  what  was  then  the 
Department  of  Business  and 
Economics.  He  was  instrumental  in 
the  formation  of  the  School  of  Busi- 
ness Administration,  which  was 
organized  July  1,  1979.  He  became 
the  first  and  only  dean  of  the  school. 
Today,  the  Cameron  School  of  Busi- 
ness Administration  has  1,300 
declared  undergraduate  majors  in  its 
program  and  a  faculty  of  60. 

Leiry  appointed  to  Hazardous 
Waste  Commission 

Jack  B.  Levy,  professor  and  chair 
of  the  Chemistry  Department  at 
L7NCW,  has  been  named  a  member 
of  the  N.C.  Hazardous  Waste 
Management  Commission.  Levy  was 
appointed  to  the  Commission  by 
Rep.  Dan  Blue,  speaker  of  the  N.C. 
House  of  Representatives.  He  will 
serve  a  two-year  tenn  expiring  June 
30,  1993. 

A  member  of  the  UNCW 
faculty  since  1968,  Levy  has  served 
as  Chemistry  Department  chair  since 
1975. 

DEVELOPMENTS 

Schweitzer  Chair  Selected 

Edward  M.  Walsh,  president  of 
the  University  of  Limerick,  Limerick, 
Ireland,  has  been  selected  chair  of 
the  Selection  Committee  of  the 


Albert  Schweitzer  International 
Prizes.  The  prizes  are  presented  at 
UNCW  every  four  years  to  three 
individuals  who  reflect  Schweitzer's 
philosophy  of  "reverence  for  life"  and 
who  excel  in  one  of  his  areas  of 
expertise,  medicine,  the  humanities, 
and  music. 

This  announcement  comes  as 
organizers  of  the  prizes  are  making 
plans  for  the  fifth  Albert  Schweitzer 
International  Prizes  ceremonies 
which  will  take  place  March  18, 
1993,  on  the  campus  of  UNCW 

New  Director  of  Annual  Fund 

Margaret  Taylor  Robison,  an 
employee  of  UNCW  since  July  1982, 
and  most  recently  director  of  auxil- 
iary services,  has  been  named  direc- 
tor of  annual  fund  in  the  Division  of 
University  Advancement. 

She  will  be  responsible  for 
managing  an  extensive  telephone 
solicitation  effort,  making  fund-rais- 
ing calls,  and  developing  a  donor 
research  program.  She  will  also  be 
actively  involved  in  the  university's 
upcoming  capital  campaign. 

ACADEMICS  and  ATHLETICS 

Provost  Approves  Minors 

Minors  in  chemistry,  gerontol- 
ogy, and  science,  humanities  and 
society  were  approved  November  14 
by  Provost  Charles  Cahill,  said 
Carolyn  Simmons,  dean  of  the 
College  of  Arts  and  Sciences.  The 
three  minors  will  appear  in  the  1992- 
93  catalog.  The  earliest  a  student 
could  graduate  with  the  minors 
would  be  Fall  1992. 

The  latter  two  minors  are  inter- 
disciplinary. The  gerontology  minor 
consists  of  courses  from  the  curricula 
of  sociology,  psychology,  health, 


physical  education,  recreation, 
philosophy,  religion,  and  English. 
The  science,  humanities,  and 
society  minor  focuses  on  an  under- 
standing of  why  and  how  research  is 
done,  an  appreciation  of  complex 
scientific,  technological,  and  societal 
problems  and  achievements  within  a 
philosophical  and  historical  context. 

Sealiawk  Basketball  Radio

contests. 

International  Programs 

The  Office  of  International 
Programs  is  pleased  to  report  that 
UNCW  has  approximately  70  inter- 
national students  this  academic  year. 
This  is  twice  as  many  as  in  the  past. 
About  one-half  of  these  students  are 
seeking  degrees. 


CORRECTION 

Student  Health  and  Welhiess 
Center 

In  the  Fall  issue  of  UNCW 
Magazine  it  was  incorrectly  reported 
that  the  Student  Health  and  Well- 
ness Center  employs  one  full-time 
and  one  part-time  nurse.  The  center 
employs  one  full-time  and  one  part- 
time  nurse  practitioner.  The  physi- 
cian assistant  and  the  nurse  practi- 
tioners are  allowed  to  prescribe 
medication.

Have  You  Hugged  Your  Pet  Today? 


? 


Pharmacies  aren't  the  only 
places  that  dispense  medical 
prescriptions.  Our  four-legged 
friends  and  kindred  creatures  supply 
"medicine"  that  money  can't  buy.  A 
wag  of  the  tail,  a  contented  purr,  or  a 
"peck"  on  die  cheek  go  a 
long  way  in  alleviating  anxi- 
ety and  despair  or  relieving 
bouts  of  loneliness. 

Pet  animals  are  so 
effective  in  influencing 
people's  well-being  that 
they're  being  used  now  in 
professional  counseling  and 
rehabilitation  programs 
throughout  the  country. 
"Pet-facilitated  therapy 
(PFT)  has  demonstrated  I 
remarkable  results  in 
changing  behavior  pat-     ^ 
terns  of  a  variety  of  per- 
sons including  the  crim- 
inally insane,  alcoholics,  the  elderly, 
cardiac  patients,  children,  blind 
persons,  and  the  mentally  disabled," 
said  Marlene  Rosenkoetter,  dean  oi 
UNCW's  School  of  Nursing.  She  has 
researched  and  written  about  the 
effects  of  pets  on  people  since  1975. 

Pets  can  be  looked  to  as  indica- 
tors of  life  patterns  within  the  home, 
Rosenkoetter  explained.  In  fact, 
many  UNCW  nursing  students  learn 
how  to  observe  companion  animals  as 
barometers  of  the  family  system.  An 
abused  pet,  or  one  that  is  dirty  or 
underfed,  for  instance,  may  suggest 
more  serious  problems  within  the 
family  unit.  Animals,  dogs  in  particu- 
lar, can  also  reflect  the  mood  of  the 
family,  be  it  sadness,  happiness,  or  fear. 
Dogs'  behavior  can  tell  a  lot  about 
what's  going  on  within  the  family 
dynamics,  according  to  Rosenkoetter. 

'Animals  are  an  important  part 
of  the  lives  of  many  people.  As 
health  care  providers,  if  we  are  going 


to  address  the  health  of  those  indi- 
viduals and  the  health  of  the  family 
system,  then  we  need  to  address  all 
components,"  she  said.  Including  the 
family  pet  as  a  part  of  the  family 
health  history  is  an  important  part  of 


Dennis  Bowes  and  Damian  visit  with  a  friend  in  a  nursing  facility 

nursing  care  that  has  been  frequently 
overlooked.  This  human-animal 
bond  can  influence  a  nurse's  assess- 
ment of  the  patient's  well-being. 

Dennis  Bowes,  a  Wilmington 
pet  therapist,  and  his  wife,  Susan,  a 
registered  nurse,  train  pets  to  be 
therapeutic  agents.  These  animals 
are  taken  to  nursing  homes,  domes- 
tic violence  shelters,  and  hospitals. 
They  visit  with  people  and  allow 
people  tit  stroke  and  cuddle  them. 
This  interaction  between  person  and 
pet  has  demonstrated  positive  results 
in  people's  recovery  time  and  in  their 
emotional  well-being. 

Currently,  the  Boweses,  who 
guest  lecture  at  UNCW,  are  training 
their  nine -month- old  pet  Dobennan 
pinscher  Damian  to  work  with 
abused  children,  children  with 
cancer,  retarded  people,  and  residents 
of  nursing  homes.  "When  you  bring 
a  dog  into  a  long-term  care  facility,  it 
improves  the  residents'  attitudes, 


they  reminisce,"  said  Susan,  who  is 
the  nursing  director  at  a  local  facility. 
"Most  of  the  residents  have  had  pets 
in  their  lives.  As  a  result  they 
become  more  responsive  —  they 
talk  more,  and  they  use  their 

muscles  more  when  they 
instinctively  reach  out  to 
pet  an  animal."  Animals 
also  have  a  calming  effect, 
particularly  on  people  who 
are  sick  or  have  been 
abused,  added  Dennis. 
Children  benefit  a 
great  deal  from  pets,  said 
Rosenkoetter.  They  learn 
responsibility  by  taking 
care  of  a  pet.  As  care 
providers,  they  learn  to 
nurture,  discipline,  and 
begin  to  understand  the 
importance  of  diet  and 
exercise.  Through  their 
pets,  they  may  also  experience  life 
stages  such  as  birth  and  death. 
Shy  people  or  people  with 
speech  difficulties  respond  wonder- 
fully to  pets,  Rosenkoetter  said. 
Someone  who  is  self-conscious  may 
be  able  to  communicate  with  their 
pet  without  risking  humiliation. 
Someone  who  is  lonely  or  depressed 
can  benefit  from  a  companion  animal 
just  by  having  "someone"  to  talk  to. 

"By  being  protective,  loving,  and 
nonjudgniental,  animals  listen, 
cuddle,  and  in  effect  say,  'You're  not 
alone.  You  have  me  and  I  care,'"  she 
said.  "Pets  foster  positive  feelings 
while  giving  the  person  an  opportu- 
nity to  be  needed." 

Our  animal  friends  bring  us  love, 
joy,  constancy,  and  comfort.  Their 
companionship  is  good  tonic  for  a 
variety  of  ailments.  And  best  of  all 
they're  habit  forming!

w 


ildlite  in  urban  America? 
As  development  continues  to  grope 
and  grind  its  way  through  our  heart- 
lands and  as  nature  sanctuaries  are 
destroyed  or  altered,  humans  have 
fewer  opportunities  to  view  wildlife. 
However,  a  new  discipline,  urban 
wildlife  management,  is  paving  the 
way  for  people  and  animals  to 
coexist. 


Something  about  animals 

and  nature  stir  our  very 

souls. 


"We're  establishing  urban 
animal  sanctuaries  that  make  cities 
more  hospitable  to  wildlife  and 
urbanites  more  appreciative  of 
wildlife,"  said  Eric  Bolen,  dean  ot 
UNCW's  graduate  school  and  a 
professor  of  wildlife  biology.  "We're 
doing  our  part  to  increase  the 
survival  of  species  while  learning 
about  our  fellow  creatures.  Some- 


thing about  animals  and  nature  stir 
our  very  souls,  Bolen  observed. 

Strategies  for  embracing  wildlife 
in  urban  environments  include 
designating  places  where  animals 
can  be  seen  passively.  "Cemeteries, 
school  campuses,  parks,  and  rooftops 
of  high  rise  buildings  offer  ideal 
spaces  for  urban  wildlife  manage- 
ment," said  Bolen. 

"Rooftops  are  the  biggest  single 
available  unused  square  footage  in 
the  commercial  districts  of  cities," 
Bolen  said.  "Most  are  very  flat  and 
conducive  to  nesting  birds." 
Nighthawks,  killdeer,  and  terns 
commonly  build  nests  on  roofs.  In 
London,  rooftop  gardens  with  pools, 
trees,  and  lawns  attract  several 
species  of  wild  birds  including  herons 
and  mallards. 

Cemeteries  in  Boston  make  up 
approximately  35  percent  of  the 
city's  open  space.  Here  95  species  of 
birds  have  been  noted  including 
game  birds,  hawks,  and  herons. 
Twenty  species  of  mammals  have 
also  been  recorded  including 


raccoons,  striped  skunks,  foxes, 
woodchucks,  muskrats,  cottontail 
rabbits,  oppossums,  and  gray  squir- 
rels. Additionally,  Central  Park  in 
New  York  City  harbors,  in  season, 
about  200  species  of  birds. 

School  campuses  offer  optimum 
landscape  settings  for  wildlife, 
despite  heavy  human  traffic.  The 
UNCW  campus,  for  example,  is 
noted  for  its  large  population  offish 
crows.  Normally  these  birds  are 
thought  to  live  in  rural  environ- 
ments, but  the  city  of  Wilmington 
and  UNCW  have  an  unusually  large 
population  of  these  birds,  Bolen  said. 

Window  ledges  of  skyscrapers 
provide  readily  accepted  sites  for 
various  bird  species,  such  as  the 
endangered  peregrine  falcoln.  This 
may  be  due  to  the  availability  of  prey 
species  such  as  pigeons. 

The  variety  and  placement  of 
vegetation  impacts  the  success  of 
wildlife  habitation.  Stratification  is 
key.  Using  different  plants  that  grow 
to  various  heights  creates  a  versatile 
habitat  that  attracts  all  kinds  of 
animals.  Take  birds,  for  instance. 
"Some  feed  in  the  treetops,  some 
feed  on  the  ground,  and  you've  got 
everything  in  between.  Wildlife  sorts 
itself  out  in  terms  of  vegetative 
structure,"  Bolen  noted.  A  well- 
designed  backyard,  then,  can  be  a 
minature  wildlife  sanctuary. 

An  example  of  effective  vegeta- 
tion stratification  can  be  found  on 
the  White  House  grounds  in  Wash- 
ington, D.C.  "It's  very  small  in 
acreage  yet  because  of  the  diversity 
ot  plant  lite,  an  oasis  has  been 
created  in  a  highly  urbanized  area. 
There  are  many  species  on  the 
White  House  lawn  that  you  won't 
find  one  block  away,"  Bolen 
explained. 

It's  important  to  remember  that 
the  tenn  "wildlife"  applies  not  only 
to  birds  and  mammals,  but  also  to

It's  important  to 

remember  that  the  term 

"wildlife"  applies  not  only 

to  birds  and  mammals, 

but  also  to  insects, 

reptiles,  and  amphibians. 


insects,  reptiles,  and  amphibians. 
"We  create  a  hierarchy  in  our  mind 
although  there's  no  biological  basis 
for  that,"  said  Bolen.  "The  migration 
of  the  monarch  butterfly  is,  biologi- 
cally, every  bit  as  wondrous  as  the 
migration  of  the  Canada  goose,  but 
the  butterfly  isn't  conceived  of  as  a 
biological  wonder.  It's  thought  of  as 
lovely,  but  nonetheless  not  that 
remarkable." 

Parks  and  school  campuses 
make  wonderful  places  for  instruct- 
ing students  about  the  contributions 
of  animals  and  the  importance  of 
wildlife.  Insects,  in  general,  make 
wonderful  animals  for  close  study. 
They  can  be  observed  easily  in  or 
outside  of  the  classroom.  "They  can 
be  put  in  a  terrarium  and  studied 
year  round.  Predators,  plant  eaters, 
and  scavengers  can  be  placed  in  a 
single  community  and  studied  as  a 
microcosm  of  an  ecosystem,  in  the 
same  way  you  could  study  an  aquar- 
ium stocked  with  fish.  "Insects 
shouldn't  be  sold  short  —  they're 
very  instructive,"  Bolen  noted. 

Universities  are  beginning  to 
formalize  their  curriculums  in  urban 
wildlife  management.  Syracuse,  the 
University  of  Arizona,  the  University 
of  Maryland,  and  Colorado  State 
University  all  offer  coursework  in 
this  area  of  study,  although  no  school 
offers  a  specialized  degree.  Two  years 
ago,  Bolen  taught  a  course  at 
UNCW  on  wildlife  ecology  and  will 
teach  it  again  if  there's  a  demand  for 
it.  "One  of  my  goals  is  to  write  a 


college  textbook  on  urban  wildlife 
management.  Of  all  the  wildlife 
management  textbooks,  the  one  I 
helped  write,  the  second  edition  of 
Wildlife  Ecology  and  Management, 
is  the  only  one  that  even  has  a  chap- 
ter on  urban  wildlife,"  he  said. 

Bolen  stays  abreast  of  the  latest 
research  on  urban  wildlife  manage- 
ment by  attending  symposiums 
featuring  the  work  of  international 
scientists.  The  concept  of  urban 
wildlife  management  has  spread 
across  Europe,  he  said.  The  British, 
for  example,  are  building  under- 
ground toad 
tunnels  that  are 
used  by  toads 
on  their  way  to 
breeding  grounds. 
These  tunnels 
prevent  them 
from  being 
crushed  by  cars. 

Urban  wildlife 
managers  not  only 
facilitate  the  thriv- 
ing of  species,  but 
also  respond  to 
problems  that  arise 
when  animals  and 
humans  share  the 
same  habitat.  Birds 
living  near  airport 
runways,  deer  and 
coyotes  inhabiting 
large  cities,  and 
geese  that  foul  golf 
courses  present 
potential  problems  to 
humans;  while  reflec- 
tive glass  windows, 
industrial  pollution, 
and  genetic  mixing 
between  wild  and 
domestic  animals 
present  hazards  to 
wildlife. 

The  issues 
involved  in  balancing 
urban  wildlife  and 


human  interaction  are  challenging. 
But  by  working  to  nurture  nature  in 
the  city,  the  human  spirit  can  find 
refuge  and  our  animal  friends  a 
home.

B>'  Carolyn  Basse  '92 


"We're  ready  for  you,  Howell." 
The  words  he  had  been  waiting  for 
were  finally  coming  over  the  line. 
After  two  long  months  of  waiting,  a 
matching  lung  donor  had  been  found. 
He  raced  to  the  hospital  last  October 
8,  1990,  to  undergo  hours  of  intricate 
transplant  surgery. 

Howell  Graham,  class  of '85, 
suffers  from  cystic  fibrosis,  a  disease 
that  primarily  affects  the  lungs.  It 
causes  them  to  overproduce  the 
mucous  that  lines  them.  Mucous 
clogs  the  lungs,  providing  an  envi- 
ronment for  inflammation  and 
infection. 

Graham  was  diagnosed  with  the 
disease  at  age  two.  Since  then,  he 
has  performed  an  hour  of  therapy 
each  day  to  keep  his  lungs  clear. 
Despite  therapy,  during  his  last  year

before  surgery  Howell  found  himself 
in  the  hospital  four  times,  for  two  or 
three  week  intervals  to  clear  up  lung 
infections.  His  condition  was  taking  a 
slow,  downward  decline. 

Graham's  doctors,  members  of 
the  pulmonary  staff  at  Memorial 
Hospital,  UNC  Chapel  Hill, 
presented  him  with  the  option  of  a 
lung  transplant.  Because  of  the  risk 
involved,  the  decision  did  not  come 
easily  for  Graham.  "They  told  me  I 
had  a  50/50  chance  of  survival"  he 
said.  "It  was  a  very  scary  decision  to 
make. 

"CF  isn't  like  other  diseases,"  he 
said.  "They  can't  predict  what's 
going  to  happen  at  certain  stages. 
They  can't  tell  you  how  long  you're 
going  to  live,"  he  added. 

After  weighing  all  the  risks, 


Graham  decided  to  go  ahead  with 
the  surgery  because  the  quality  of  his 
life  was  not  what  he  wanted  it  to  be. 
"It  got  to  be  such  a  grind,"  he  said.  "I 
couldn't  do  the  things  I  wanted  to. 
My  back  was  up  against  the  wall." 

So  he  quit  his  job  and  left  Wilm- 
ington for  Chapel  Hill  to  wait  for  a 
lung  donor.  He  had  made  the  deci- 
sion, and  now  all  he  could  do  was 
wait.  For  the  next  two  months  he 
spent  his  days  in  a  physical  fitness 
program  to  get  in  the  best  shape 
possible  before  surgery. 

If  everything  went  well, 
Graham's  operation  would  be  the 
first  successful  lung  transplant  in  the 
Southeastern  United  States. 

For  the  first  few  days  after  the 
transplant  his  condition  was  touch 
and  go,  while  his  doctors  waited  to

see  if  the  new  set  of  lungs  would  he 
rejected  by  his  body. 

It's  been  over  a  year  since  his 
transplant,  and  Graham's  lungs,  from 
a  31-year-old  Florida  man  who  died 
in  an  auto  accident,  have  given  him 
a  second  chance  at  life.  His  surgery 
has  opened  the  door  to  more  trans- 
plants like  his.  Graham  has  found 
himself  swamped  with  over  200 
cards  and  letters.  A  hospital  press 
conference  led  to  statewide  news 
coverage  and  a  front  page  story  in  his 
hometown  paper,  the  Wilmington 
Morning  Star. 

Publicity  was  hardly  something 
Graham  was  used  to.  In  fact,  very 
few  people  even  knew  he  had  CF. 
"Most  of  my  friends  didn't  know,"  he 
said.  "I  was  afraid  to  tell  them 
because  I  thought  it  would  affect  our 
relationships.  I  was  afraid  they  would 
leave  me  out  of  things." 

Graham  is  quick  to  downplay 
what  he's  gone  through.  "My  friends 
still  look  at  me  as  if  I'm  a  hero,"  he 
said.  "I  just  did  what  I  had  to  do." 

His  health  since  the  surgery  has 
improved  dramatically.  The  func- 
tioning of  his  lungs  has  improved, 
moving  from  28  to  105  on  a  scale  of 

0  to  100.  That  means  that  his  lungs 
are  performing  above  the  average 
100.  "When  one  of  the  doctors  saw 
the  results,  he  thought  they  were  for 
the  wrong  patient,"  said  Graham. 

"My  energy  level  is  unbeliev- 
able," he  said.  "The  number  of  things 

1  can  do  now  that  I  couldn't  before 
the  surgery  is  amazing,"  he  added. 
"It's  given  me  a  new  lease  on  life." 

Four  months  after  his  surgery 
Graham  went  back  to  work  full-time 
at  a  Wilmington  real  estate  agency 
while  attending  classes  to  become  a 
real  estate  appraiser. 

And  he's  working  to  see  that 
others  get  the  same  chance  he  had. 
He  has  become  a  member  of  a  local 
transplant  support  group  and  makes 
regular  media  appearances  to 


promote  organ  donation.  "Most 
people  don't  realize  how  important 
organ  donation  is,"  he  said. 

"If  it  wasn't  for  organ  donation  I 
couldn't  have  had  this  opportunity.  I 
want  other  people  to  have  that  same 
opportunity."  Since  his  surgery, 
doctors  at  Memorial  Hospital  have 
completed  many  more  successful 
double-lung  transplants. 


carrier  virus.  Once  the  normal  gene 
copy  reaches  the  cell,  the  cell  repro- 
duces itself  with  normal  gene  copies. 
This  process  reverses  the  damaging 
effects  of  the  defective  gene. 

Last  September  two  separate 
groups  of  researchers  used  this 
process  to  cure  cystic  fibrosis  cells  in 
the  laboratory.  They  inserted  nomial 
gene  copies  into  cells  taken  from 


'They  told  me  I  had  a  50/50  chance  of 

survival.  It  was  a  very  scary 

decision  to  make." 


Graham  grew  up,  for  the  most 
part,  in  Charleston,  South  Carolina, 
the  son  of  a  marine  lieutenant 
colonel.  Graham  came  to  UNCW 
and  Wilmington  in  1982.  "I  fell  in 
love  with  Wilmington,"  he  said.  "I 
chose  UNCW  because  the  classes 
were  small.  If  you  had  a  question 
professors  were  willing  to  sit  down 
and  talk  with  you,"  he  said. 

There  are  roughly  30,000  cases  of 
cystic  fibrosis  in  the  United  States 
today.  Among  young  Americans,  CF 
is  the  most  common  fatal  genetic 
disease.  One  in  every  20  Caucasians 
carries  a  defective  gene  for  the  disease. 

A  child  is  born  with  the  disease; 
it  becomes  active  when  a  child 
inherits  two  copies  of  the  gene,  one 
from  each  parent.  CF  is  diagnosed  in 
one  of  every  2,000  births  and  half  of 
CF  patients  die  by  the  age  of  20. 

In  the  future,  cystic  fibrosis 
patients  may  not  have  to  go  the 
dangerous  route  that  Graham  did. 

Two  years  ago  researchers  found 
the  gene  that  causes  cystic  fibrosis. 
The  discovery  has  opened  the  door 
to  the  possibility  of  a  revolutionary 
new  medical  treatment,  gene  ther- 
apy. Gene  therapy  works  by  inserting 
a  nomial  copy  of  a  defective  gene 
into  a  diseased  cell.  The  gene  is 
carried  to  the  cell  by  a  harmless 


cystic  fibrosis  patients  and  found 
that  they  functioned  normally. 

Doctors  envision  using  gene 
therapy  for  cystic  fibrosis  by  carrying 
nomial  gene  copies  to  the  lungs  with 
a  nebulizer,  a  machine  that  turns 
liquid  medicine  into  a  mist  that  can 
be  inhaled. 

The  latest  round  of  research  not 
involving  gene  therapy  is  taking 
place  at  the  same  hospital  where 
Graham  had  his  surgery.  Researchers 
are  testing  existing  drugs  in  the  war 
against  mucous. 

The  first,  as  reported  by  the 
Raleigh  News  and  Observer,  is 
amiloride.  The  drug,  a  diuretic,  is 
currently  used  as  a  treatment  for 
high  blood  pressure.  In  a  pilot  study 
the  drug  diluted  the  mucous  in  the 
lungs  of  CF  patients  when  inhaled 
through  a  nebulizer.  This  was  the 
first  test  of  a  drug  that  targets  the 
primary  defect  in  cystic  fibrosis 
patients.  Amiloride  is  now  undergo- 
ing a  broader  study. 

It's  been  over  a  year  since 
Graham's  transplant.  He  has 
returned  to  the  normal  life.  If  you 
happen  to  be  out  cruising  the  water- 
ways near  Wrightsville  Beach,  you're 
likely  to  see  Graham  in  his  Boston 
whaler,  indulging  in  one  of  his 
favorite  hobbies,  boating.

L'NCW  Sports  Information  Intern 

Gerard  Schwenk  appreciates 
many  aspects  of  the  game  of  soccer.  He 
enjoys  competing  against  opponents, 
the  camaraderie  of  his  teammates,  and 
scoring  game-winning  goals.  But  he 
also  likes  perfonning  in  front  of  a 
crowd,  competing  with  a  female,  and 
throwing  his  partner  in  the  air. 

That's  why  Schwenk  has 
combined  all  of  these  favorite  tasks 
into  a  dual  role  this  year  at  the 
University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Wilmington.  When  he  isn't  playing 
forward  on  the  soccer  team, 
Schwenk  works  out  daily  with  the 


varsity  cheerleading  squad,  becom- 
ing one  of  the  few  student-athletes 
in  the  country  to  participate  in  the 
two  activities. 

The  senior  communications 
major  from  Alexandria,  Va.  began 
playing  soccer  at  age  five.  He  went 
on  to  star  at  Mount  Vernon  High 
School  in  Northern  Virginia  and  was 
recruited  by  UNCW  head  coach 
Jackie  Blackmore,  74. 

For  16  years  Schwenk  has  been 
kicking  soccer  balls  and  scoring 
goals.  He  still  finds  the  game  enjoy- 
able, but  is  happy  to  have  found  the 
new  pasttime  of  cheering.  "Playing 
soccer  as  long  as  I  have,  it's  become

second  nature  to  me.  I  look  at  soccer 
as  a  job,  but  cheerleading  is  so  new 
and  fresh,"  he  said. 

Schwenk  never  thought  about 
joining  the  cheerleading  squad, 
much  less  actively  pursuing  a  spot  on 
it.  He  simply  became  involved  last 
year  after  watching  some  acquain- 
tances during  a  practice  session. 

"Two  friends,  Mark  Lyczkowski 
and  Jim  Padison,  cheered  their  fresh- 
man year,"  Schwenk  said.  "I  went 
with  them  to  practice  one  day  and 
became  interested.  I've  never  been 
in  a  situation  before  where  I  could 
compete  with  a  girl.  It  intrigued  me 
and  made  me  want  to  get  involved." 
Schwenk,  however,  was  uneasy  about 
explaining  the  new-found  interest  to 
his  teammates.  "I  wasn't  shy  about  my 
ability  to  cheer,"  he  explains.  "I  was 
more  nervous  because  of  my  friends 
on  the  soccer  team.  They  didn't  really 
understand  what  it  was  about,  but  as 
soon  as  they  did,  they  were  real 
supportive." 

Blackmore  knew  nothing  about 
Schwenk's  decision  to  cheer  until  after 
the  athlete  made  junior  varsity  squad 
last  season.  "I  didn't  know  about  it,  but 
I  talk  about  things  like  that  with  the 
team,"  Blackmore  said.  "They  know- 
that  if  they  take  care  of  their  school 
work  first  and  soccer  second  that  they 
can  do  anything  else." 

There  was  a  period  when 
Schwenk  had  to  adjust  to  the  many 
differences  between  the  two  sports. 
"The  hardest  thing  to  get  used  to  in 
cheering  was  the  attitude,"  Schwenk 
said.  "In  other  sports,  it's  accepted 
when  something  bad  happens  it's

okay  to  get  back  and  take  out  your 
frustrations  on  the  field.  In  cheering, 
you  can't  do  that.  You  have  to  keep 
your  temper  calm  and  collected  and 
always  have  a  smile  on  your  face." 

Despite  the  differences,  there  are 
many  similarities  between  playing 
soccer  and  cheerleading.  Schwenk 
thinks  they  complement  each  other. 
"In  each  activity,  you  have  to  be  able 
to  control  your  body  in  space  with 
others  around  you  and  you  have  to  be 
able  to  distribute  your  weight  prop- 
erly," he  said.  "The  endurance  is  the 
same,  not  necessarily  required  by  the 
sport  but  by  the  coach." 

Schwenk  has  cheered  for  only  a 
short  time,  but  he  has  shown  rapid 
improvement.  After  cheering  last 
year  with  the  junior  varsity  team,  he 
made  the  varsity  and  is  one  of  five 
newcomers  on  the  squad  in  1991-92. 
To  polish  his  cheerleading  skills, 
Schwenk  traveled  with  his  team- 
mates in  late  April  to  the  Universal 
Cheerleading  Association  (UCA) 
national  competition  in  San  Antonio, 
Texas.  "The  fact  that  he  is  on  the 
varsity  team  and  went  to  nationals 
after  only  cheering  a  year  lends  to  the 
caliber  of  athlete  he  is,"  said  cheer- 
leading director  Michael  Lee.  "He 
can  just  pick  things  up  and  excel." 

During  the  UCA  summer  camp 
at  East  Tennessee  State  University  in 
August,  Schwenk  and  the  rest  of  the 
Seahawk  squad  were  invited  to  work 
next  summer  at  the  different  camps 
across  the  country.  It  was  during  this 
camp  that  Schwenk  experienced  one 
of  the  difficult  sides  of  cheering. 

On  the  second  day  of  camp, 
Schwenk  and  his  first  varsity  partner, 
senior  Crissy  Shue,  were  performing 
a  stunt.  When  Shue  jumped  up, 
Schwenk  failed  to  catch  the  soles  of 
her  feet  with  his  hands.  Shue  then 
fell  backward  and  Schwenk  couldn't 
catch  her  before  she  hit  the  floor.  "I 
didn't  feel  well  and  it  was  hot  when 
we  were  doing  the  stunt,"  Schwenk 
said.  "Crissy  landed  on  her  shoulder

and  bruised  her  collar  bone.  It  was 
the  lowest  feeling  because  she 
trusted  me  and  I  violated  that  trust." 

Shue,  a  senior  from  Lexington, 
N.C.,  was  reluctant  to  place  the 
blame  on  her  partner.  "It  was  our 
fault  because  we  didn't  have  a  spot- 
ter," she  said.  "I  just  went  off  the 
back.  A  lot  of  the  mistakes  have  to 
do  with  not  communicating.  You 
have  to  trust  the  guys  underneath." 

Soccer  is  Schwenk's  first  love, 
but  cheering  has  opened  several 
doors  for  him.  "I  get  to  see  the  games 
up  close  and  I  got  a  contract  to  work 
all  summer  just  teaching  kids  how  to 
cheer,"  he  said. 

Both  on  the  field  and  on  the 
court,  Schwenk  is  respected  by 
coaches  and  teammates  alike.  "He's 
a  very  hard  working  individual  and  a 
very  coachable  athlete  because  he 
tends  to  place  the  pressure  on 
himself  instead  of  me,"  said  Lee.  "I 
have  a  great  deal  of  respect  for  him 
because  he's  such  a  good  athlete  and 
he  does  well  in  the  classroom  too." 
Blackmore  echoes  Lee's  sentiments, 
noting  Schwenk's  penchant  for  hard 
work  and  perseverance.  "Qualities 
that  stand  out  the  most  are  his  deter- 
mination, enthusiasm  and  work 


ethic,"  Blackmore  said.  "He  goes  100 
percent  after  things  that  interest 
him.  He's  willing  to  work  hard  at  it." 
After  attending  soccer  practice, 
Schwenk  changes  clothes,  takes  a

short  rest  and  then  it's  off  to  prepare 
for  cheerleading.  "I  don't  know  how 
he  does  it,"  says  Shue.  "I  know  he's 
tired  when  he  comes  in  from  soccer 
practice,  but  he  doesn't  show  it.  He 
never  lets  the  fact  that  he's  practic- 
ing all  day  ruin  the  workout  —  he 
just  gives  it  his  all." 

Being  busy  often  means  having 
difficulty  finding  time  to  study.  But 
Schwenk  uses  effective  time 
management  skills  to  stay  involved. 
"When  I  was  in  high  school  I  played 
football,  soccer,  and  baseball," 
Schwenk  said.  "If  I  didn't  have  some- 
thing that  would  force  me  to  study 
all  the  time,  I  would  just  sit  on  the 
couch  and  do  nothing." 

This  season,  Schwenk  gained  a 
part-time  starting  position  as 
forward.  He  got  his  first  collegiate 
start  in  UNCW's  2-2  tie  with 
Methodist  College  on  Sept.  12.  "I 
wanted  to  improve  myself  to  the 
level  that  Coach  Blackmore  wanted 
me  to  play,"  Schwenk  said.  "Since  it 
was  my  last  season,  I  looked  forward 
to  giving  150  percent  for  every  game. 
It  was  easy  to  stay  motivated  for 
soccer  because  practice  was  so 
intense  and  there  was  always  compe- 
tition on  the  team." 

Competing  is  one  thing 
Schwenk  does  well.  He  will  remem- 
ber his  playing  years  at  UNCW  with 
fondness  and  hopes  others  follow  his 
unique  lead.  "People  shouldn't  be 
afraid  of  what  they  don't  know,"  he 
says.  "When  you  don't  worry  about 
what  people  will  think,  it  usually 
turns  out  for  the  best."  I

Do  you  feel  safe  ....  at  UNCW? 


by  Allison  Relos  Rankin 

People  traipse  about  the  UNCW 
campus  all  hours  of  the  day  and 
night  without  thinking  twice  about 
their  personal  well-being.  After 
numerous  conversations  with  the 
staff  in  the  Division  of  Student 
Affairs  and  the  officers  in  the 


A  UNCW  police  officer  on  his  nightly  rounds 
with  students. 

Campus  Police  Department,  I  can 
assure  you  that  this  safe  environ- 
ment is  no  accident  -  much  effort  is 
put  into  making  UNCW  one  of  the 
safest  campuses  in  North  Carolina. 

Over  8,000  students  attend 
UNCW;  we  have  a  faculty  of  41 1 
and  a  staff  of  563.  Hundreds  of  visi- 
tors come  to  our  campus  each  year. 
That's  a  lot  of  people  to  be 
concerned  about. 

Chief  Billy  Dawson  of  the 
UNCW  Campus  Police  and  his  staff 
of  16  sworn  police  officers  and  17 
security  officers  have  the  primary 
responsibility  for  campus  safety. 
They  coordinate  their  efforts  with 
the  UNCW  Dean  of  Students 
Office,  Division  of  Student  Affairs, 
and  with  the  UNCW  Safety  Depart- 
ment. Together  they  address  such 
issues  as  safety  in  the  residence  halls 
and  sexual  assault  prevention,  as 
well  as  outdoor,  traffic,  fire,  labora- 
tory, and  office  safety. 


"We  encourage  everyone,  espe- 
cially students,  to  be  conscious  of 
what  they're  doing,"  said  Dawson. 
"A  lot  of  problems  arise  from 
complacency."  Students  propping 
open  normally-locked  exterior  doors 
to  residence  halls  or  giving  out  door 
lock  combinations  are  prime  exam- 
ples of  carelessness. 

"Students 
often  have  a  false 
sense  of  security  on 
a  college  campus 
and  let  down  their 
guard,"  explained 
Dean  of  Students 
Pat  Leonard.  "They 
need  to  be  aware  of 
the  consequences." 

"Thefts  could 
be  decreased  by  85- 
90  percent  if  we 
stops  to  talk  couy  get  tne 

students  to  lock 
their  doors,"  said  Dawson.  "In  the 
last  1 3  years,  there  have  been  no 
forcible  entry  crimes  in  the  residence 
halls  —  they've  all  been  crimes  of 
convenience." 

"We  have  a  lot  of  students  who 
leave  their  room  doors  unlocked 
while  they're  in  class  or  just  down 
the  hall,"  said  John  Johnson, 
UNCW  associate  dean  of  students 
and  director  of  residence  life.  "This 
results  in  theft,  usually  committed  by 
other  students  and  not  by  people 
outside  of  the  university." 

Sexual  assault  prevention  is  the 
number  one  safety  priority  on 
campus.  "It's  one  of  our  biggest 
programmatic  efforts  and  always  will 
be,"  said  Leonard.  However,  this  is 
not  the  case  on  some  campuses. 
Articles  in  the  latest  issues  of  Ms. 
magazine  or  The  Chronicle  of  Higher 
Education  tell  that  college  students 
are  retaliating  against  rapists  by  writ- 
ing the  rapists'  names  on  bathroom 


stalls.  They're  writing  descriptions 
and  other  messages  to  warn  other 
females  because  these  victims  feel 
that  the  university  does  not  respond. 
"I  think  if  you  look  at  the  way  we 
handle  sexual  assault,  we  take  the 
opposite  approach  —  we're  very  pro- 
active," said  Leonard. 

Leonard  and  her  staff  work  very 
closely  with  campus  police  in 
educating  students  about  sexual 
assault,  particularly  acquaintance 
rape.  Crime  Prevention  Officer 
Hunter  Davis  and  Jacqueline  Skin- 
ner, assistant  dean  of  students,  meet 
every  semester  with  students  in  resi- 
dence halls  and  present  programs  on 
prevention.  They  also  take  programs 
off  campus  to  share  with  commuter 
students.  "Communicating  with 
them  and  being  pro-active  is  so 
important,"  said  Davis. 

Information  about  sexual  assault 
and  phone  numbers  to  call  for  help 
are  posted  in  restrooms  on  campus, 
including  residence  halls  and 
academic  buildings.  And  a  peer 
education  group,  STAR,  Student 
Team  Against  Rape,  makes  presenta- 
tions to  students  about  sexual  assault 
prevention.  "Students  talking  to 
students  are  much  more  effective 
than  you  or  I  out  there  telling  them 
about  rape,"  said  Leonard. 

Added  security  measures 
include  door  peepholes  in  UNCW

apartments,  lighted  entryways  to  all 
residence  halls,  and  night  reception- 
ists in  the  residence  halls.  These 
persons  work  from  8  p.m.  until  4 
a.m.  checking  IDs  to  make  sure 
students  belong  there.  In  addition, 
all  visitors  to  the  residence  halls  are 
required  to  have  escorts.  Also,  for 
the  first  time  this  year,  door  access 
control  devices  have  been  installed 
on  the  side  doors  of  the  all-female 
residence  hall  on  campus.  If  a  door  is 
propped  open  for  more  than  30 
seconds  it  sounds  an  alarm,  alerting 
someone  that  the  door  is  open. 

Alcohol  abuse  is  the  underlying 
factor  in  approximately  90  percent  of 
the  crimes  committed  at  UNCW 
Most  of  these  involve  vandalism, 
theft,  and  fighting.  "Underaged 
drinking  provides  a  whole  backdrop 
of  alcohol-related  problems,"  said 
Leonard.  Alternatives!,  UNCW's 
substance 
abuse 
program, 
works 
to  educate 
students  about 
prevention  in 
this  area. 

As  far  as 
outdoor  safety  is  concerned  at  the 
university,  landscaping  and  lighting 
play  important  roles.  Sidewalks  on 
campus  have  good  clearance  and  are 
not  bordered  by  any  tall  or  dense 
vegetation.  In  regard  to  lighting,  "I 
believe  we  have  the  best  lit  campus 
in  the  UNC  system,"  said  Dawson. 
"As  a  campus  we've  done  everything 
from  a  physical  standpoint  to  make 
people  feel  safe." 

Other  safety  services  include  the 
Seahawk  Shuttle,  a  van  that  trans- 
ports students  to  different  parts  of 
campus.  It  operates  Sunday- 
Thursday  from  6  p.m.  until  midnight 
and  6  -  9  p.m.  on  Fridays.  Campus 
police  also  provide  an  escort  service 
to  walk  people  to  their  cars  or  build-

ings.  The  service  is  available  daily 
from  8  a.m.  until  2  a.m.;  afterwards 
it's  contingent  on  police  officer  avail- 
ability. 

According  to  Leonard,  one 
thing  parents  can  do  to  help  protect 
their  students  is  to  remind  them 
about  simple  safety  points  —  lock 
the  doors,  close  the  window  blinds, 


PUS 


lock  up  bicycles. 

Traffic  safety  is  another  concern 
on  campus.  This  includes  coordinat- 
ing the  flow  of  pedestrian  traffic, 
automobiles,  bicycles  and  motorcy- 
cles. "We  post  officers  during  every 
class  change  at  the  intersections  of 
Randall  and  Crewes  drives  and  at 
Riegel  Road  and  Hamilton  Drive  to 
facilitate  the  movement  of  traffic," 
said  Dawson.  His  staff  also  directs 
traffic  for  all  campus  events  like 
basketball  games,  commencement, 
and  symphony  performances  and 
provides  security  for  all  these  and 
other  functions. 

"We  logged  4,000  hours  of  over- 
time last  year  among  14  officers," 
Dawson  said,  "and  responded  to 


30,000  service  calls."  This  included 
jumping  cars,  unlocking  car  doors, 
bringing  people  gasoline,  and  trans- 
porting and  escorting  people. 

Fire,  laboratory,  and  office  safety 
come  under  the  direction  of  John 
Geddie,  director  of  campus  safety. 
Accident  prevention  is  his  depart- 
ment's responsibility.  "UNCW  won 
the  Governor's  Award  of  Merit  of 
Safety  and  Health  in  1990,  the  third 
year  in  a  row,"  Geddie  said.  The 
award  is  given  to  those  institutions 
and  governmental  departments  that 
achieve  80-90  percent  compliance 
with  the  state's  Safety  and  Health 
Program. 

In  order  to  review  and  evaluate 
campus  safety  programs  and  campus 
facilities,  the  Chancellor's  Safety  and 
Advisory  Committee  was  formed  in 
1986.  It  conducts  yearly  walk- 
throughs of  campus  to  size  up  safety 
features,  particularly  lighting.  Made 
up  of  people  from  various  university 
departments,  the  committee  meets 
several  times  a  year  to  review  safety 
proposals. 

Safety  at  UNCW  has  many 
dimensions.  Its  applications  are 
broad.  So  when  you  visit  campus, 
walk  across  a  parking  lot  at  night,  sit 
in  traffic  after  a  basketball  game,  or 
visit  with  your  son  or  daughter, 
remember  what  goes  into  your  sense 
of  security.  Somebody's  watching 
(out  for)  you.

PERSPECTIVE 


Dosha  Krotova 


a 


lasnost  is  alive  and  well.  Dasha 
Krotova,  a  junior  majoring  in 
psychology,  is  here  to  prove  it.  A  citi- 
zen of  the  Soviet  Union,  Dasha 
enrolled  at  UNCW  after  completing 
two  years  at  Moscow  State  Univer- 
sity. She  came  to  Wilmington  to 
experience  what  it  would  be  like  to 
attend  an  American  university.  She 
left  her  homeland  four  days  before 
the  attempted  overthrow  of 
Gorbachev. 

"Being  open  to  information 
changed  the  people's  consciouness 
and  led  to  the  fall  of  Communism," 
Dasha  explained.  This  transition  to  a 
new  form  of  government  will  be 
tough,  she  added,  but  the  people  who 
live  with  this  do  not  consider  it  terri- 
ble —  it's  part  of  life.  "Morale  was 
getting  very  low.  I  was  glad  to  see  the 
people  resisting,"  she  commented. 

"One  of  the  goals  of  my  country 
is  to  increase  business  activities.  The 
Russian  people  are  ready  to  move  to  a 
market  economy.  I  am  afraid  that  this 
will  turn  our  quality  of  life  into  a 
superficial  existence  of  making 
money,  we'll  become  too  materialistic, 
too  Western,"  she  said. 


Asked  how  she  would  compare  the 
United  States  to  the  USSR,  she  said, 
"I  wouldn't  make  that  comparison." 
She  explained  that  despite  the  mate- 
rial shortages,  the  cultural  heritage 
of  the  Soviet  Union  is  much  richer 
than  that  of  America.  "Just  listen  to 
our  operas  and  classical  music  or 
watch  a  ballet,"  said  Krotova. 

Even  the  forms  of  casual  enter- 
tainment seem  to  differ  between  the 
two  countries.  When  young  people 
get  together  in  the  Soviet  Union,  it's 
not  at  a  restaurant  or  a  night  club. 
"We  perform  home  theater,  read 
poems,  play  musical  instruments  — 
there's  more  interaction  there  than 
there  is  here,"  she  said. 

The  old  architecture,  especially 
churches,  winter  sports  like  cross- 
country skiing  and  ice  skating,  and 
the  colors  and  lines  of  the  Soviet 
landscape  make  Dasha  homesick  for 
her  country.  Eating  differently  has 
been  an  adjustment  too.  "I  need 
fresh  vegetables,  seafood,  and 
fruits  —  I  feel  like  I  am  disintegrat- 
ing!" she  said. 

Higher  education  is  prized  by 
the  Soviet  people.  "Lots  of  people

want  to  get  to  college.  It's  less  a 
question  of  being  fancy  —  it's  more  a 
question  of  being  educated,"  said 
Dasha.  Most  people  study  to  be 
economists  or  to  work  in  foreign 
affairs,  she  said.  There's  not  a  lot  of 
private  business.  However,  many 
people  strive  to  work  in  coopera- 
tives, businesses  made  up  of  small 
groups  of  people  who  depend  on  one 
another  for  their  resources  and  skills. 

Dasha  learned  of  UNCW 
through  her  father.  He  is  a  physics 
professor  at  Moscow  State  Univer- 
sity. He  had  heard  of  UNCW 
through  colleages  of  his  at  the 
National  Science  Foundation  in 
Washington,  DC.  Dasha's  mother  is 
an  English  professor. 

The  future  is  bright  for  Dasha. 
Her  immediate  goal  is  to  get  her 
driver's  license  while  her  long-tenn 
goal  is  to  do  some  more  traveling 
and  perhaps  one  day  settle  in 
Leningrad  to  begin  a  psychologist's 
practice.  But  wherever  she  goes, 
she'll  take  with  her  the  experiences 
and  friendships  she's  made  at 
UNCW

STUDENT  HONORS 

High  Graduation  Rates  for 
Seahawk  Athletes 

UNCW  had  the  highest  five- 
year  graduation  rate  for  all  student- 
athletes  of  any  of  the  constituent 
UNC  institutions  for  freshmen 
entering  in  1986.  In  addition  to  lead- 
ing the  system  in  1986  statistics, 
UNC  Wilmington  ranked  second  to 
UNC  Chapel  Hill  in  highest  five- 
year  graduation  rates  for  classes 
starting  in  the  three  previous  years. 


For  all  student-athletes  who 
entered  UNCW  in  1986,  75  percent 
graduated  within  five  years.  UNC 
Chapel  Hill's  rate  was  71.4,  with 
other  institutions  ranging  from  21.3 
to  55.2  percent.  In  1983,  1984,  and 
1985,  UNCCH  topped  the  five-year 
graduation  rates,  with  UNCW 
coming  in  second  each  of  those 
years.  These  findings  were  released 
in  the  Sixth  Annual  Intercollegiate 
Athletic  Report  to  the  UNC  Board 
of  Governors  at  its  February  14 
meeting.

ALUMNI    PROFILE 


ERNEST  FULLWOOD 

Professor,  Attorney,  Superior  Court  Judge 


In  September  1962,  two 
teenagers  stepped  onto  the  campus 
of  Wilmington  College  and  added  a 
piece  to  the  school's  history.  Ernest 
Fullwood  and  Marshall  Collins  were 
the  first  two  black  students  to  attend 
what  has  become  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  at  Wilmington. 

Nearly  30  years  later,  Fullwood 
can  look  back  at  a  full  career,  first  as 
a  college  professor,  then  as  a  lawyer, 
and  now,  one  of  North  Carolina's 
elected  superior  court  judges. 

Fullwood  didn't  have  to  travel 
far  to  attend  Wilmington  College, 
then  a  day  school.  He  was  raised  in 
Wilmington,  the  son  of  a  barber  and 
a  domestic.  Fullwood  is  a  graduate  of 
what  was  Wilmington's  all-black 
high  school,  Williston. 

"At  the  time,  most  of  the  kids 
didn't  have  the  families  who  had 
money  to  pay  for  college,"  said  Full- 
wood.  "More  importantly,  they 
didn't  have  parents  who  knew  a  lot 
about  colleges." 

So  Fullwood,  and  other  students 
like  him,  relied  on  guidance  coun- 
selors to  help  them  make  choices 
about  college.  "My  guidance  coun- 
selor called  me  in  one  day  and  said, 
'We've  got  a  scholarship  to  Wilming- 
ton College,  and  that's  where  you'll 
go,'  so  I  said  yes." 

Looking  back  on  his  years  at 
Wilmington  College,  Fullwood  has 
positive  things  to  say  about  the 
school  and  its  students,  faculty,  and 
administrators.  "I  really  don't 
remember  having  any  problems," 
said  Fullwood.  "Of  course,  at  first,  I 
didn't  know  anyone  but  Marshall." 

From  UNCW,  Fullwood  contin- 
ued on  to  law  school  at  North 
Carolina  Central  University  and 
graduated  summa  cum  laude. 


Instead  of  practicing  law  after  gradu- 
ation, Fullwood  spent  four  years 
teaching  law  at  N.C  Central.  "The 
dean  took  a  chance  on  me,"  he  said. 
"He  thought  I  could  handle  it." 

Even  today,  students  at  NCCU 
know  Fullwood,  who  worked  with 
the  moot  court  team  and  taught  the 
moot  court  class  during  his  years  as  a 
professor  at  the  university.  The 
school  honored  him  by  naming  its 
moot  court  competition  and  court- 
room after  him. 

In  moot  court  competition, 
students  argue  cases  based  on  points 
of  law,  like  those  that  are  argued  in 
an  appellate,  or  perhaps,  the 
Supreme  Court.  Its  judges  are  third- 
year  law  students  and  law  professors. 
When  the  competition  reaches  its 
final  stages,  lawyers  and  judges  from 
the  community,  including  Fullwood, 
preside  over  the  courtroom. 

And  Fullwood  is  well  suited  to 
that  role.  In  1988  he  left  private 
practice  after  winning  a  spot  as  one 
of  three  superior  court  judges  based 
in  New  Hanover  County,  North 
Carolina.  Fullwood  generally  serves 
North  Carolina's  first  judicial  divi- 
sion, which  covers  the  state's  first 
eight  districts.  The  area  spans  the 


eastern  seaboard  of  North  Carolina, 
from  New  Hanover  County  in  the 
south  to  Currituck  County  in  die 
north.  The  district  extends  west  as 
far  as  Sampson,  Nash  and  Halifax 
counties. 

Superior  court  operates  on  the 
level  between  the  appellate  courts, 
where  cases  are  argued  solely  on  the 
basis  of  legal  questions,  and  the 
lowest,  district  court,  which  operates 
without  a  jury.  As  a  superior  court 
judge,  Fullwood  hears  cases  appealed 
from  the  district  courts,  felony  cases, 
and  civil  cases  involving  more  than 
$10,000. 

Every  six  months  he  travels  to  a 
new  district.  The  North  Carolina 
constitution  mandates  that  superior 
court  judges  serve  in  a  different 
district  every  six  months.  "It  brings  a 
commonality  to  the  law,"  said  Full- 
wood.  "Judges  who  rotate  don't  have 
alliances  to  either  the  issues  or  the 
litigants.  When  I  go  into  a  district  I 
don't  know  the  local  politics.  I'm  not 
interested  in  the  local  politics." 

And  with  each  new  district 
comes  a  new  courtroom  style  and  a 
new  way  of  doing  things.  "It's  the 
same  law  all  over  the  state  but 
people  are  different  and  they  have 
different  ways  of  doing  things.  It's  a 
meshing  together  of  styles  that 
makes  the  system  work." 

Fullwood  stresses  fairness  when 
discussing  his  role  as  a  judge.  "The 
most  that  a  judge  can  be  is  fair  to 
the  litigants  and  fair  to  the  public," 
said  Fullwood. 

Fullwood's  wife,  Cynthia  Malloy, 
works  as  a  lab  technician  at  a  Wilm- 
ington hospital.  They  have  three 
children,  Shelley  seven,  Remie  10, 
andNadia  15.

Avenger  of  Nature 


English 
Professor 
Creates 
Comic  Hero 

by  Teresa  McLamb 

Darkness  covers  the  Green 
Swamp's  massive  oaks  and  cypress. 
Hidden  within  are  two  figures 
preparing  to  toss  unmarked  55- 
gallon  drums  from  the  back  of  their 
truck.  Thousands  of  miles  away, 
deep  inside  the  earth,  a  slumbering 
mass  stirs,  troubled  by  something  it 
does  not  yet  comprehend.  At  that 
moment,  but  many  miles  from  the 
swamp  down  the  Cape  Fear  River,  a 
drunken  poet  undergoes  a  mysteri- 
ous transformation.  Suddenly  sober 
and  alert,  he  stares  at  his  new  body: 
terrifying,  unrecognizable,  even  to 
himself.  The  poet  is  not  in  control  as 
he  is  transported  to  the  dark  swamp. 
Is  he  aware  of  his  actions  as  he  wraps 
green  tendrils  around  the  offending 
toxic  dumpers,  strangling  their 
breath  and  saving  the  Cape  Fear 
River  from  poisoning? 

You  can  find  the  answer  when 
D.C.  Comics  issues  the  first  book  of 
Green  Man,  a  creation  of  UNCW 
English  assistant  professor,  Dr. 
Richard  Hill.  Hill's  idea  and  scripts 
for  at  least  four  books  based  on  the 
mythical  Green  Man  were 
purchased  in  January. 

Introduced  to  the  Green  Man 
through  the  writings  of  John  Fowles, 
Hill  found  the  pagan  figure  so  visu- 
ally arresting  that  he  thought  some- 


thing had  to  be  done  with  him.  He 
changes  shapes;  he's  always  differ- 
ent, but  he's  always  botanical.  Often 
depicted  in  literature  and  architec- 
ture as  a  human  face  melded  with 
leaves,  the  Green  Man  represents 
renewal  and  rebirth.  The  images 
appear  in  such  diverse  places  as 
Gothic  cathedrals  and  English  pubs. 
In  London  alone,  there  are  some  30 
pubs  bearing  his  name,  according  to 
William  Anderson's  1990  book 
Green  Man.  Anderson  even  notes 
the  existence,  although  rare,  of  a 
Green  Woman  on  various  buildings 
and  in  paintings  by  Botticelli.  While 
his  Green  Man's  role  has  changed 
through  the  ages,  he  is  believed  to  be 
a  fierce  defender  and  protector  of 
nature.  This  is  the  persona  of  Hill's 
comic  hero. 

"Nature  is  violent  and  indis- 
criminate; at  least  he's  discriminate," 

v 


Richard  Hill 


he  says  of  his  hero  who  often 
employes  violent  acts  to  protect  the 
environment  and  wildlife.  "We're 
past  the  point  of  taking  the  bad  guys 
in  to  the  cops."  Green  Man  has  one 
purpose:  to  protect  Mother  Earth  at 
all  costs.  "He  is  a  force  of  nature,  so 
he  is  not  hampered  by  ethics."  This 
is  unusual  for  comic  book  charac- 
ters. Superheroes  usually  are  not 
merciless;  therefore,  the  concept  is 
troubling  to  some  people,  including 
D.C.  Comics,  says  Hill. 

Green  Man  may  be  merciless, 
but  perhaps  with  justification  and 
with  results  that  many  environmen- 
talists would  applaud.  Endowed  with 
a  command  over  all  of  nature's  crea- 
tures, the  Green  Man  of  Hill's  first 
comic  book  saves  himself  and  a 
school  of  tuna  by  having  them  all 
swim  in  the  same  direction  to  escape 
a  net  and  then  sink  the  ship  that  is 
attempting  to  catch  them.  Histori- 
cally, the  Green  Man  myth  has 
delivered  the  message  that  taking 
care  of  nature  is  not  a  matter  of 
manners.  Nature  will  let  us  know 
when  things  go  wrong  and  we'll  live 
or  die  with  those  results,  says  Hill. 
We  create  deserts,  oil  spills,  famine. 
So  why  should  Green  Man  who  is 
the  avenger  of  nature  be  lenient 
with  us?  Hill  answers  by  saying, 
"Green  Man's  punishment  will  be 
much  harsher  than  notes  to  our 
mothers."  He  emphasized  that 
Green  Man  is  "literally  a  part  of 
Earth  itself  and  has  all  the  force  and 
fury  of  nature." 

Throughout  the  four  books,  Hill 
also  gives  Green  Man  sensitivity,

intelligence,  and  knowledge  of  the 
modem  world  through  the  borrowed 
body  of  a  poet  named  Toole  who  is 
as  famed  for  his  work  as  for  his 
drunkenness.  Although  Toole  serves 
as  the  medium  for  Green  Man,  he 
has  no  control  over  his  actions. 
Were  he  to  be  caught,  Toole  would 
be  the  one  to  suffer  prosecution  or 
pain — not  Green  Man  who  could 
abandon  Toole's  body.  Yet,  his 
discovery  is  unlikely,  because  it  is 
inconceivable  to  law  enforcement 
authorities  that  an  ordinary  man 
could  accomplish  the  deeds 
attributed  to  the  superhero.  The 
perpetrator,  therefore,  might  well 
remain  a  mystery.  Or  maybe  not. 
Although  he's  been  an  avid 
observer  of  the  adult  comic  book 
industry  for  several  years,  this  is 
Hill's  first  attempt  at  working  in  the 
medium.  "I  didn't  see  any  other  way 
to  tell  the  story  about  a  living  green 
man,"  he  says.  Also,  Hill  has 
followed  the  career  of  his  Navy 
buddy,  Denny  O'Neill,  "who  almost 
single-handedly  brought  adult 
themes  to  the  comic  book  industry." 
O'Neill  also  made  certain  that  Hill 
had  a  tie  to  the  industry  by  placing 
him  in  several  comics.  Batman's 
karate  teacher  was  named  Richard 
Hill.  In  one  Wonder  Woman  comic, 
she  is  shown  reading  Hill's  first 
novel,  Ghost  Story.  With  this  kind 
of  exposure  to  the  comic  book 
venue,  Hill  decided  to  offer  his 
Green  Man  idea  to  D.C.  As  a  divi- 
sion of  Time -Life  Warner,  the 
company  has  the  potential  of 
expanding  Hill's  idea  into  movies 


and  retail  offerings  as  they  have  with 
Batman  and  Superman. 

Meanwhile,  Hill  has  revised  the 
script  of  his  first  book  to  incorporate 
more  action,  frequently  switching 
between  locations  and  subjects,  a 
device  suggested  by  O'Neill. 
However,  the  first  book's  publication

culminates  on  Bald  Head  Island. 
Describing  himself  as  a  writer 
who  also  teaches,  Hill  said  he  was 
hired  at  UNCW  because  the  univer- 
sity was  looking  for  a  tenure-track 
professional  writer.  He  continues  to 
write  and  now  shares  his  knowledge 
of  the  art  with  students  in  magazine 
and  screen  writing  courses.  This  fall 
he  will  teach  a  graduate -level  course 


He  emphasizes  that  Green  Man  is  "literally  a  part  of

right  one,"  Hill  explains.  "The  fans 
know  the  artists,  and  they  are  just  as 
devoted  to  the  artist  as  to  the  writer. 
The  artists  have  more  influence." 
The  creator  and  artist  even  share 
creation  credit  because  the  writer- 
creator  writes  it,  but  the  artist- 
creator  gives  it  visual  form.  Hill 
described  working  in  this  medium  as 
a  "delight." 

Although  he  joined  the  UNCW 
staff  just  last  fall,  Hill  is  no  stranger 
to  the  area.  He  actually  set  the  scene 
of  his  first  Green  Man  book  near  the 
Cape  Fear  River  because  of  his 
previous  experience  living  near  the 
river.  "I  was  a  visiting  writer  at 
Southeastern  (Community  College) 
in  1983  and  '84."  While  working  on 
a  piece  about  the  Maco  Light,  he 
became  aware  of  illegal  dumping  in 
the  area.  That  locale  appears  in  his 
latest  novel,  Sweet  Memory  Will 
Die,  which  is  due  out  in  September. 
Set  around  Hallsboro,  a  small  town 
in  Columbus  County,  the  mystery 


in  nonfiction. 

Hill  has  written  seven  novels, 
including  Riding  Solo  with  the 
Golden  Horde  which  was  accepted 
as  his  doctoral  dissertation  at  Florida 
State  University.  He  has  published 
more  than  100  screenplays,  televi- 
sion scripts,  short  stories,  articles, 
and  essays.  Two  short  stories  are 
currently  being  developed  for  public 
television.  His  feature  articles  and 
book  reviews  have  appeared  in 
Harper's,  Esquire,  Rolling  Stone,  Play- 
bay,  Omni,  and  Village  Voice. 

Hill  accomplishes  much  of  his 
writing  at  his  secluded  home  site 
near  Hampstead  where  he  and  his 
son,  Patrick,  enjoy  the  natural  beauty 
that  Green  Man  fights  to  protect.

cultural  revolution  were  unusual;  now 

.  .  .  "about  halt  sometimes  more  than 

half  the  business  students 

are  females/' 

Who's  Hu? 


You  may  have  already  seen  her 
bicycling  across  College  Road  en 
route  to  campus  with  coattail  flying 
in  the  wind  and  a  warm  smile  across 
her  face.  Dr.  Yi-fen  (Grace)  Hu  is 
visiting  professor  of  accountancy  at 
the  Cameron  School  of  Business 
Administration.  She  is  originally 
from  Shanghai,  China,  an  area 
known  as  early  as  the  1930s  as  "New 
York  City  in  the  East"  for  its  modern- 
ization and  Western  influence. 

Western  culture,  however,  is  not 
foreign  to  Hu  who  teaches  manage- 
rial accounting  classes  for  under- 
graduates and  an  international 
accounting  class  for  MBA  students. 
Her  early  education  began  in  a 
Catholic  school  and  her  first  loves 
were  music  and  English.  Encouraged 
by  her  father,  she  decided  to  pursue  a 
business  career  and  attended  Shang- 
hai Jiao-Tong  University,  graduating 
in  1950.  After  marriage  and  eventual 
relocation  to  Chengdu,  Sichuan 
Province,  Hu  became  director  of 
accounting  in  a  major  chemical 
company  where  she  worked  for  16 
years.  Women  in  business  positions 
before  China's  cultural  revolution 
were  unusual;  now,  ". . .  about  half, 
sometimes  more  than  half  the  busi- 
ness students  are  females,"  she  says. 

China's  move  to  an  open  trade 
policy  in  the  late  1970s  created  a 
demand  for  teachers  of  Western 
accounting  methods.  As  a  result,  Hu 


became  associate  professor  at  the 
Southwestern  University  of  Finance 
and  Economics  in  Chengdu.  For  the 
last  10  years,  Hu's  primary  responsi- 
bility has  been  to  design  and  develop 
new,  foreign-related  accounting 
courses,  teach  each  one  a  few  years, 
then  pass  it  on  to  younger  teachers. 
After  completing  the  process  she 
begins  anew,  ever  welcoming  the 
opportunity  to  travel.  "After  all"  she 
says,  "to  better  teach  international 
accounting,  one  needs  to  BE  inter- 
national ...  in  order  to  touch  and 
feel  the  cultures!" 

Hu  has  drawn  from  visiting 
professorships  to  Australia  and  the 
U.S.  and  years  of  experience  in 
China  as  a  basis  for  recent  research 


entitled  "A  Comparison  of  Account- 
ing Education  Systems  in  Australia, 
The  United  States  of  America,  and 
The  Peoples  Republic  of  China." 
This  work  has  been  accepted  for 
presentation  at  the  Seventh  Interna- 
tional Conference  on  Accounting 
Education  in  October  of  this  year.  It 
will  enhance  her  own  course  work 
and  contribute  to  the  increase  of 
international  business  relations  for 
many  countries. 

Hu  is  grateful  for  the  easy  access 
to  new  educational  books  and  mate- 
rials in  the  U.S.,  many  of  which  are 
still  difficult  to  obtain  through 
China's  Foreign  Exchange.  She  also 
corresponds  regularly  with  professors 
in  other  countries  to  exchange  ideas 
and  share  her  information.  Hu  sees 
herself  as  still  being  a  "new  profes- 
sor" in  many  ways  because  she  is 
always  in  the  process  of  learning, 
even  as  she  teaches  others. 

Hu's  decision  to  come  to  the 
University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Wilmington  was  the  result  of  her 
\isiting  friends  and  relatives  in  the 
area  five  years  ago.  The  local  busi- 
ness community  learned  of  her 
expertise  through  a  friend  of  hers  at 
UNCW.  She  was  soon  asked  to  make 
several  presentations  on  the  Chinese 
economy.  Having  been  so  graciously 
received  by  former  Wilmington 
Mayor  Berry  Williams,  the  Wilming- 
ton World  Trade  Group,  UNCW

business  professors,  and  local 
accountants,  Hu  agreed  to  come 
back  to  the  Port  City,  but  only  after  a 
return  trip  to  China.  She  still  recalls 
feeling  "so  homesick"  at  the  time 
and  eager  to  see  her  husband. 

During  her  four- semester  stay  at 
UNCW  she  has  been  delighted  to 
see  so  much  improvement  in  the 
UNCW  business  school.  "Interna- 
tionalization of  the  business  curricu- 
lum is  very  important . . .  boundaries 
are  expanding,"  she  says.  Last 
semester  three  new  courses  were 
offered  in  this  area,  including  Inter- 
national Trade  and  Finance,  Interna- 
tional Marketing,  and  International 
Management.  Hu  was  excited  to  see 
more  emphasis  placed  on  interna- 
tional business.  Eager  to  know  more, 
Hu  even  sat  in  on  a  few  of  these 
classes  in  her  spare  time. 

Much  effort  has  been  made  on 
the  part  of  the  faculty  and  members 
of  the  business  school  to  gain  accred- 


itation for  the  Cameron  School  of 
Business  Administration.  Self-study 
reports  have  been  filed,  the  curricu- 
lum has  been  expanded  to  include 
international  dimensions,  and  the 
evaluations  have  thus  far  been  posi- 
tive. Hu  now  feels  "a  part  of  it  all" 
and  believes  strongly  that  she  will 
see  UNCW  accredited  before  she 
leaves  in  May  of  this  year.  Her  next 
teaching  adventure  will  take  her  to 
Hawaii  for  the  summer  and  from 
there  she  will  return  home  to  China. 
"I  have  gained  knowledge,  expe- 
rience, and  most  of  all,  friendship 
here,"  says  Hu.  She  admires  our 
"outgoing  . . .  erudite  and  very  inter- 
national Chancellor  Leutze"  and 
comments  on  how  fortunate  we  are 
to  have  him.  Leutze  has  the  same 
quality  she  hopes  students  will  gain 
from  knowing  her  —  the  love  of 
culture.  "This  causes  you  to  think 
globally  ...  be  more  open-minded 
and,  therefore,  open  to  new 


things, "she  says.  Hu  looks  forward  to 
taking  Leutze's  video  collection  on 
"countries  around  the  world"  back 
home  to  share  with  her  friends. 

Everyone  has  welcomed  Hu 
during  her  stay.  She  shared  Thanks- 
giving with  Bob  Appleton,  chairman 
of  the  Accounting  Department,  and 
his  family.  An  MBA  student  she 
didn't  even  know  brought  her 
Christmas  dinner  directly  from 
China!  His  family  had  just  returned 
from  a  visit  there  and  he  immedi- 
ately thought  of  her  and  wanted  to 
wish  her  a  Merry  Christmas.  The 
mere  sight  and  smell  of  rice  wrapped 
in  fragrant  bamboo  leaves  gave  her 
that  "home  away  from  home"  feel- 
ing. "But,"  she  adds,  "all  of  the 
people  here  are  so  warm  . . .  always 
ready  to  help  and  some  just  go 
beyond  ...  a  step  farther.  They  are 
not  expecting  anything  from  it 
either." 

She  received  a  card  with  Merry7 
Christmas,  carefully  written  in 
Chinese  characters,  from  a  student 
thanking  her  for  being  such  a  good 
teacher;  another  sent  a  letter 
expressing  regret  that  she  is  not  a 
permanent  professor  here.  On 
Valentine's  Day  she  received  red  and 
white  balloons  from  one  of  her 
classes.  The  invitations  to  socials, 
dinners,  and  concerts  are  endless 
and  Hu  regrets  lacking  time  to 
attend  each  one. 

Dr.  Hu  finds  that  even  the 
motorists  on  College  Road  are 
friendly  while  they're  stopped  at  the 
light.  They  smile,  wave  and  motion 
for  her  to  cross  and  this  makes  a 
"stranger  feels  so  welcome  here."  So 
be  on  the  lookout  next  time  you 
approach  the  stoplight  at  Randall 
Drive  and  look  for  the  tiny  Dr.  Hu 
on  the  big  green  bicycle  —  and 
continue  the  Wilmington  custom  of 
never  showing  "cold  faces"  to 
anyone!

CONGRESSIONAL 
INTERNSHIPS 


Many  college  students  don't  get 
practical  field  experience  in  their 
major  before  graduating  from 
college.  They  take  the  courses 
needed  to  satisfy  their  degree 
requirements  and  then  send  out 
resumes  by  the  dozen,  hoping  some- 
one will  take  a  chance  and  hire 
them. 

At  UNCW,  faculty  and  adminis- 
trators recognize  that  education  goes 
far  beyond  what  students  learn  in 
the  classroom.  All  of  the  schools  and 
many  of  the  departments  within  the 
College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  offer 
students  experience  in  their  fields 
through  internships  or  other  hands- 
on  work  experiences. 

In  a  tight  job  market,  internships 
give  students  practical  experience 
that  they  can  offer  to  perspective 
employers  plus  the  chance  to  see  if 

"It's  the  best  introduction 

to  political  reality  that  any 

student  ever  gets." 

the  career  they're  preparing  for  is 
really  the  one  they  want. 

For  political  science  majors, 
perhaps  the  most  exciting  place  to  be 
living  and  working  as  an  intern  is  in 
the  heart  of  the  country's  governing 
system,  Washington,  D.C.  Students 
can  also  complete  internships  in 
Wilmington  while  taking  classes  at 


the  university.  They  earn  credit  by 
working  at  Charlie  Rose's  Wilming- 
ton office,  the  New  Hanover  County 
Planning  Office,  and  at  various 
lawyers'  offices. 

Since  1981,  top  political  science 
students  from  UNCW  have  spent  a 
semester  living  and  working  as 
interns  in  the  nation's  capital.  The 
majority  of  students  work  for  South- 
eastern North  Carolina's  two 
congressmen,  Charlie  Rose  and 
Martin  Lancaster.  One  student  has 
worked  for  Senator  Jesse  Helms  and 
another  will  work  for  him  this  fall. 

"It's  the  best  introduction  to 
political  reality  that  any  student  ever 
gets,"  said  Lee  Johnston,  political 
science  professor  at  UNCW  and 
director  of  political  science  intern- 
ships. Johnston,  the  1989  winner  of 
the  UNCW  Board  of  Trustees 
Teaching  Excellence  Award,  began 
the  internship  program  when  he 
came  to  UNCW  in  1977. 

"Most  of  the  students  who  go  to 
Washington  get  'Potomac  fever,'" 
said  Johnston.  "They  don't  want  to 
come  back — they  want  to  stay  and 
become  staff  assistants." 

Senior  Christine  Bricker  spent 
Fall  semester  '90  in  Washington, 
working  for  Congressman  Charlie 
Rose.  For  a  young  woman  who  grew 
up  on  her  family's  farm  in  Ohio  and 
spent  most  of  her  summers  working 
there,  Washington  was  a  big  change. 


Congressman  Charlie  Rose  and  Christine 
Bricker 


"It  was  a  big  decision,  but  I 
decided  to  go  for  it,"  she  said. 
"When  I  got  there  I  couldn't  believe 
I  had  doubted  it.  I  was  on  cloud  nine 
the  whole  time  I  was  there,"  said 
Bricker.  "They  used  to  call  me 
'Smiley'  at  the  office." 

Bricker,  who  says  she  "thrives  on 
law"  and  has  always  wanted  to  be  a 
lawyer,  chose  the  Washington 
internship  to  see  if  she  might  like  a 
career  as  a  congressional  staff 
member  instead.  She  left  Washing- 
ton wanting  to  become  a  federal 
government  lawyer.  She  will  attend 
law  school  in  the  Fall.

Senior  Samantha  Gallman 
spent  Fall  semester  '9 1  interning  for 
Congressman  Martin  Lancaster. 
Gallman,  a  political  science  major 
who  wants  to  teach  high  school 
social  studies,  sought  out  the  intern- 
ship to  broaden  her  knowledge  of 
American  government  and  to  make 
her  lectures  more  interesting  for  her

Martin  Lancaster 


students.  "I  thought  it  would  enable 
me  to  bring  more  to  the  classroom," 
said  Gallman.  "There  were  just  so 
many  questions  left  out  of  the  text- 
books," she  said.  "I  felt  that  there 
was  much  more  to  learn." 

For  students  like  Bricker  and 
Gallman,  there  are  tough  require- 
ments to  meet  before  they  can  go  to 
Washington.  For  starters,  they  must 
have  a  "B+"  (3.5  or  better  on  a  scale 
of  4.0)  average.  The  Political 
Science  Department  requires  intern- 
ship candidates  to  be  of  junior  stand- 
ing and  they  must  have  completed 
courses  covering  library  research, 


computer  and  analytical  research, 
and  advanced  courses  in  American 
government. 

Beyond  basic  requirements, 
Johnston  looks  at  each  student  indi- 
vidually. "They  must  have  a  legiti- 
mate reason  for  wanting  to  go  to 
Washington,"  he  said.  "They  must 
be  self  starters." 

Once  students  arrive  in  Wash- 
ington, they  find  themselves  working 
alongside  congressional  staff 
members.  They  answer  letters  and 
phone  calls  from  the  congressmen's 
constituents  about  the  status  of 
legislative  bills  and  why  their 


excited  to  be  there  that  I  couldn't 
even  remember  what  he  talked 
about,"  she  said. 

Afterwards,  she  walked  down 
onto  the  floor  of  the  House  and  met 
or  "got  to  stand  next  to"  many  of  the 
most  influential  members  of 
Congress.  "It  was  a  night  I'll  never 
forget,"  said  Bricker. 

Gallman  attended  the  1991 
Democratic  Gala,  the  party's  kickoff 
of  the  presidential  campaign  season. 
"It  was  just  like  a  pep  rally,"  she  said. 
"It  gives  you  a  good  patriotic  boost  to 
attend  something  like  that." 

After  sending  students  to  the

congressman  voted  the  way  he  did. 
Developing  a  response  usually 
involves  studying  the  Congressional 
Record,  talking  with  congressional 
committee  staffers,  and  doing 
research  at  the  Library  of  Congress. 

"The  work  really  requires  you  to 
become  familiar  with  who  does  what 
in  Congress,"  said  Gallman. 

While  the  interns  do  their  share 
of  clerical  work  and  running  for 
coffee,  they  are  also  exposed  to 
significant  daily  activities.  "I  may 
have  been  filing  papers,"  said 
Bricker,  "but  I  was  studying  them 
and  listening  to  all  the  conversations 
that  were  going  on  around  me.  I 
believe  the  internship  was  what  you 
made  of  it." 

Outside  the  office,  Bricker's 
most  memorable  evening  was 
attending  a  speech  by  President 
George  Bush  to  a  joint  session  of 
Congress.  Representative  Rose  gave 
her  the  office's  only  ticket.  "I  was  so 


capital  year  after  year,  Johnston 
decided  to  try  an  internship  himself. 
He  spent  part  of  the  Summer  of 
1988  in  Washington,  working  along- 
side college -aged  interns  in  Charlie 
Rose's  office.  "After  sending  students 
up  there  for  so  many  years  I  wanted 
the  chance  to  try  it  myself" 

Johnston  hopes  that  UNCW's 
presence  in  Washington  will  some- 
day expand.  His  goal  is  to  broaden 
the  program  so  that  students  from 
other  disciplines  may  share  the 
Washington  experience. 

Students  can  contact  Johnston 
for  information  about  political 
science  internships.  Information  and 
help  in  selecting  general  internships 
can  be  found  at  the  Career  Planning 
and  Placement  Center  in  the

The  South:  Its  D 


From  the  baked  earth  of  Mississippi  cotton  fields  to 
the  loamy  soil  of  tidewater  Virginia,  the  South  holds  a 
unique  place  in  ,\inerican  history  and  culture. 


Its  predominant  Protestantism, 
agrarian  heritage,  and  economic 
individualism  make  it  distinct.  The 
land  and  its  people  are  at  the  core  of 
its  existence.  And  the  duality  of 
blacks  and  whites  has  probably  done 
more  than  anything  else  to  give  the 
Southland  its  own  identity. 

Melton  McLaurin,  UNCW 
history  professor  and  author  of 
several  books  about  the  South,  has 
studied  race  and  its  influence  in 
shaping  Southern  and  American 
society.  In  his  last  two  books  A  Sepa- 
rate Past:  Growing  Up  White  in 
the  Segregated  South  and  Celia:  A 
Slave,  race  is  the  common  theme. 
"Celia,  takes  place  in  an  antebellum 
period  and  Separate  Pasts  in  the 
period  of  segregation.  They  both 
focus  on,  what  has  been  in  the  past, 
one  of  the  'identifying'  features  of 
Southerness:  the  Souths  deviation 
from  national  norms  in  race  relations 
whether  in  slavery  or  in  segregation," 
said  McLaurin.  "The  racial  views 
held  by  white  Southerners  in  both 
periods  did  not  differ  markedly  from 
those  held  by  whites  elsewhere  in  the 
nation.  Racial  relations  practiced, 
however,  differed  considerably. 

"Race  remains  the  basic 
unsolved  problem  in  American  soci- 
ety, in  my  opinion,"  McLaurin 
continued.  "And  it's  connected  to 
every  major  issue  that  we're  going  to 
look  at  in  the  1992  presidential  elec- 


tion. Race  is  related  to  economic 
problems  in  the  United  States, 
educational  problems,  social  prob- 
lems —  to  any  big  issue  you  want  to 
raise." 

These  problems  have  more  to  do 
with  ideology  than  differences  in  skin 
color,  writes  Barbara  J.  Fields  in  her 
essay,  "Ideology  and  Race  in  Ameri- 
can History."  Over  time,  "(race) 
became  the  ideological  medium 
through  which  Americans 
confronted  questions  of  sovereignty 
and  power  . . ." 

This  power  struggle  is 
evidenced,  according  to  McLaurin, 
in  a  two -or  three -tiered  system  of 
economic  opportunity.  "One  of  the 
things  that  bothers  me  very  much  is 
this  rapidly  growing  gap  between  the 
haves  and  have  nots . . .  and  in  the 
South,  as  in  the  nation,  that  takes  on 
racial  overtones,"  said  McLaurin. 

You  see  it  in  the  200-point 
discrepancy  of  SAT  scores  between 
whites  and  blacks,  said  McLaurin,  in 
addition  to  the  high  rate  of  violent 
deaths  among  black  men  and  the 
large  discrepancy  in  income  between 
blacks  and  whites.  "That  does  not 
bode  well  for  society,"  he  said. 

"If  you  have  large  segments  of 
people  who  do  not  see  a  future  in  a 
society,  who  do  not  see  that  they  can 
buy  in,  you're  going  to  have  big  trou- 
ble. And  blacks  have  never  been 
included  economically.  I'm  not  talk- 


ing about  the  South.  I'm  talking 
about  American  society  as  a  whole. 
It's  been  a  problem  that's  impacted 
the  South  more  because  there  are  a 
larger  numbers  of  blacks,  but  Ameri- 
can society  has  never  allowed  blacks 
into  the  economic  mainstream  and 
that's  still  a  major  problem.  When 
you  look  at  what  the  sociologist 
Julius  Wilson  termed  the  'truly  disad- 
vantaged' you  see  that  race  is 
involved.  I'm  alarmed  at  the  tact  that 
so  many  blacks  are  outside  the 
economic  structure." 

Awareness  of  Distinction 

While  growing  up  during  the 
1950s  in  the  small  town  of  Wade  in 
Southeastern  North  Carolina, 
McLaurin  became  aware  of  the 
disparity  between  whites  and  blacks. 
He  befriended  many  of  the  black 
customers  who  frequented  his  grand- 
father's store  and  realized  that  their 
realities  were  very  different  from  his 
own.  In  his  book  Separate  Pasts  he 
writes,  "That  this  extended  period  of 
close  association  with  blacks  came 
during  my  adolescence  magnified  the 
impact  of  that  experience  on  me.  It 
came  at  a  time  when  I  had  begun  to 
question  the  values  and  beliefs  of  my 
society.  My  association  with  blacks 
would  continue,  as  did  the  question- 
ing, until  I  left  Wade." 

As  a  youth  McLaurin  began  to 
ponder  the  "other"  culture,  the  black 
culture.  "The  'other'  is  always 
intriguing.  In  the  South  that  I  grew 
up  in,  you  had  a  very,  very  well- 
defined  'other.'  The  clarity  of  that 
definition  was  made  possible,  in  part,

because  of  the  difference  in  skin 
color.  I  think  it's  been  an  intriguing 
aspect  of  Southern  life  for  all 
Southerners,  white  and  black.  It's 
been  a  part  of  the  reality,"McLaurin 
said. 

In  Separate  Pasts  McLaurin 
recounts  how  he  wrestled  with  the 
impoverishment  of  Wade's  blacks.  "I 
responded  with  anger  to  the  undeni- 
able reality  of  their  extreme  poverty 
. . .  The  connection  between  their 
poverty  and  their  race  was  all  too 
obvious.  Their  presence  was  an 
indictment  of  segregation,  an 
inescapable  accusation  of  my 
complicity." 


McLaurin  writes  of  the  guilt 
whites  shared  over  segregation. 
"Perhaps  I  felt  more  keenly  than 
most  whites  the  guilt  produced  by 
the  clash  of  segregationist  doctrine 
and  practice  and  the  readily 
perceived  human  dignity  of  individ- 
ual blacks.  I  doubt  it.  Since  my 
awareness  of  the  conflict  arose  from 
contact  with  blacks,  it  seems  reason- 
able to  assume  that  most  white 
Southerners  who  had  similar 
contacts,  and  many  did,  experienced 
the  same  emotional  reactions,  the 
same  doubts.  Some,  perhaps  most, 
suppressed  their  feelings,  but  it  is 
hard  for  me  to  believe  that  they 
never  experienced  them." 

Today's  South 

In  its  struggle  to  overcome  this 
ethical  dichotomy,  Southerners  — 
black  and  white  —  have  continued 
to  draw  on  their  common  heritage 
and  shared  customs,  be  they  speech, 
religion,  or  music. 

The  author  Jonathan  Daniels 
once  defined  the  South  as  a  place 
where  "all  nice  children  say  'no 
ma'am'  and  'yes  m'am.'  "  McLaurin, 
echoed  his  sentiments.  "Using 
maam  and  sir  is  still  considered  being 
respectful  of  social  order.  It  recog- 
nizes the  generational  differences 
between  members  of  society  without 
necessarily  deferring  to  individuals.  I 
think  that's  positive. 

"The  South  continues  to  be 
much  more  religious  than  the  rest  of 
the  nation,"  said  McLaurin, 
"although  it's  been  an  overwhelm- 
ingly homogenous  view  of  religion. 


But  I  think  it's  true  that  as  one 
moves  upward  socially  in  the  South, 
one  continues  to  retain  a  religious 
identification.  That's  frequently  not 
the  case  in  the  rest  of  the  country  . . . 
It's  very  usual  for  a  Southerner  to 
invite  a  visitor  to  go  to  church. 
Northerners  would  see  this  as 
outside  the  bounds  of  proper  conver- 
sation. Southerners  are  not  trying  to 
impose  their  religious  beliefs  on 
anyone  —  they're  trying  to  welcome 
you  into  that  circle." 

That  circle  of  shared  experience 
is  expressed  in  the  homespun  lyrics 
of  country  music,  songs  from  the 
heart  that  express  the  pain  or  joy  of 
simple  living.  This  distinct  form  of 
Southern  folk  culture  is  of  special 
interest  to  McLaurin.  "Country 
music  is  a  Southern  art  form,  it's 
working  class  music,"  he  said.  "The 
use  of  language  is  absolutely 
phenomenal."  McLaurin's  latest 
book,  You  Wrote  My  Life:  Social 
Themes  in  Country  Music,  is  due 
to  be  released  in  the  Fall. 

Much  of  McLaurin's  future  writ- 
ing will  probably  deal  with  racial 
themes,  he  revealed,  and  he  may 
even  try  his  hand  at  fiction.  In  the 
classroom,  he  will  continue  to 
encourage  his  students  to  examine 
"ideas  of  innate  differences."  As 
for  himself,  "I  hope  I  continue 
questioning  everything  and  don't 
always  accept  the  prevailing 
wisdom."  1

CONSULTANTS     HELP     STUDENTS     WRITE     AWAY 

Composition  Skills 


The  Writing  Place.  The  right 
place  for  students  working  on 
papers.  The  Writing  Place,  located 
on  the  second  floor  of  Morton  Hall, 
helps  students  improve  their  compo- 
sition skills. 

"When  I  first  came  here  in 
1985,  there  was  a  slow,  steady  stream 
of  English  majors,  but  now  we  get 
students  majoring  in  biology,  nurs- 
ing, and  the  fine  arts,"  said  Deb  Gay, 
office  manager  ot  The  Writing  Place. 
"Since  the  'writing  to  learn' 
approach  has  been  integrated  into 
non-traditional  areas,  students  come 
to  us  from  all  curriculums." 

Director  Tom  MacLennan 
became  a  writing  consultant  as  a 
doctoral  candidate  at  State  Univer- 
sity of  New  York  at  Buffalo  in  1975. 
According  to  him,  writing  centers 
were  originally  conceived  as  "gram- 
mar labs,"  places  to  receive  tutorial 
help  with  spelling,  word  usage,  and 
punctuation  problems.  MacLennan 
later  discovered  that  students'  writ- 
ing problems  were  more  complex 
than  simple  grammatical  errors. 
Students  wanted  to  know  how  to 
start,  organize,  develop,  and  focus 
stories. 


"The  major  difference  between 
the  labs  of  the  sixties  and  today's 
writing  centers  is  in  the  consultant- 
client  relationship,"  said  MacLen- 
nan. "Our  consultants  no  longer  act 
as  editors  or  tutors,  but  as 
coaches  and  cheerleaders.  The 
good  coach  raises  questions 
and  encourages  the  student  to 
succeed.  We  try  to  make  the 
student  feel  at  ease.  We  strive 
for  'inter-subjectivity'  (i.e. 
successful  collaboration) ,  to 
help  a  student  develop  the  best 
possible  paper.  A  good  consult- 
ing session  ends  with  both 
student  and  consultant  having 
learned  something. 

"A  consultant  empathizes 
with  the  writing  student  who  is 
struggling  to  articulate  experi- 
ence. Consultants  are  trained  to 
draw  out  the  student's  own  thoughts 
and  feelings,  not  to  write  the  paper. 
Many  students  underestimate  the 
color  of  their  life  experiences  and 
consider  them  to  be  trivial  and  not 
worth  writing  about.  Our  objective  is 
to  get  them  to  toss  aside  this  way  of 
thinking.  We  help  de-mystify  the 
writing  process  and  make  it  a  bit  more 
manageable."

Writing  Place. 

During  a  visit  to  The  Writing  Place, 
he  said,  "I'm  not  really  creative.  The 
consultants  give  me  new  ideas  about 
my  papers  that  I  couldn't  come  up 
with  by  myself,  general  ideas  to  help 
me  later.  Overall,  they  help  me  write 
better. 

"The  best  thing  about  The  Writ- 
ing Place  is  that  it's  so  easy  to  come 
here — it  doesn't  take  long  and  it  can 
only  help  you — it  sure  has  helped 
my  grades  a  lot!  This  would  be  good 
to  have  in  high  schools." 

Like  most  students,  Jason  first 
came  to  The  Writing  Place  after  his 
instructor  recommended  the  service 
to  her  students.  That  instructor  was 
Jane  Kirby,  a  UNCW  graduate 
student  and  teacher's  assistant. 
Kirby  had  noticed  that  many 
students  have  problems  with  focus 
and  organization  in  their  writing. 
"Sometimes  students  wander 
around  in  the  dark.  They  don't  know

where  to  start,  which  focus  to  take. 
As  a  consultant  myself,  I  have 
helped  with  papers  in  all  stages.  An 
important  part  of  writing  is  getting  a 
good  start.  Consultants  help  get 
students  on  track,  to  find  a  starting 
point. 

"The  main  goal  of  The  Writing 
Place  is  to  improve  communication, 
written  and  oral.  The  skills  gained 
are  of  inestimable  worth  to  students 
and  consultants." 

Other  students  and  instructors 
have  served  as  consultants  in  The 
Writing  Place.  Mary  Dewayne- 
Lander,  a  UNCW  lecturer,  has 
worked  there  as  a  paid  teacher  and  as 
a  volunteer.  While  instructing  an 
undergraduate  "Writing  for  Teachers" 
class,  she  assigned  her  students  to  be 
consultants  in  The  Writing  Place. 

"I  felt  that  the  experience  would 
build  their  confidence  and  help 
them  develop  their  own  writing  abil- 
ities. These  students  would  one  day 
be  pursuing  careers  teaching  and 
helping  others,  so  I  thought  they 
needed  this  experience.  And  I  firmly 
believe  that  students  learn  best  from 
other  students. 

"Most  of  them  resisted  it,"  she 


Office  Manager  Deb  Gay  and  director

added.  "They  felt 
unqualified  and  lacked 
confidence  in  them- 
selves ...  To  a  person, 
all  my  students  later 
reported  having  much 
more  confidence  and 
having  improved 
their  ability  to  iden- 
tify problems  in  their 
own  writing."  j

education  student  and 
consultant,  claims  that  his  work  in 
The  Writing  Place  has  helped 
prepare  him  for  a  teaching  career.  He 
had  considered  not  working  during 
the  Spring  '92  semester,  but  felt  he 
would  miss  the  benefits  of  consult- 
ing: "Meeting  different  people,  help- 
ing them  improve  their  writing,  the 
camaraderie  with  the  other  consul- 
tants, and  learning  from  them  when- 
ever I  run  into  my  problems  have 
been  valuable  to  me." 

According  to  Office  Manager 
Gay,  Writing  Place  consultants  "act 
as  guides,  rather  than  teachers  or 
tutors.  They  get  excited  when  a 
student  returns  with  an  A  on  a 
paper.  That's  the  biggest  reward — 
not  money.  Many  of  our  consultants 
are  volunteers."  These  include 
professors,  undergraduate  and  grad- 
uate students,  and  teachers  and  writ- 
ers from  the  community. 

Director  MacLennan  keeps  a 
"Smile  File"  of  letters  from  former 
consultants  and  consultees.  He 
makes  notes  of  consultants'  sugges- 
tions for  improvements.  He  listens  to 
suggestions,  tries  them,  and  if  they 
work,  makes  them  policy. 

MacLennan  would  like  to  see 
more  writing-process  research  gener- 
ated from  The  Writing  Place,  partic- 
ularly that  which  centers  around  the

learning  styles  and  approaches  to  the 
consulting  process. 

He  also  believes  that  writing 
centers  can  help  solve  many  educa- 
tional ills  because  writing  is  at  the 
heart  of  learning  in  all  disciplines,  he 
said.  As  an  officer  in  the  Southeast- 
ern Writing  Center  Association 
(SWCA) ,  he  stays  abreast  of 
research  and  developments  in  writ- 
ing education  because,  "A  large  part 
of  academic  writing  combines  theory 
with  practice."  His  article  on  this 
subject,  "Buberian  Currents  in  the 
Writing  Center,"  will  appear  in 
Theory  in  the  Writing  Center,  a 
collection  of  essays  to  be  published 
in  1993  by  the  National  Council  of 
Teachers  of  English. 

This  spring  at  the  SWCA 
conference  in  Williamsburg, 
Virginia,  MacLennan  and  consultant 
Kirby  will  co-present  a  paper  about 
their  research  in  The  Writing  Place. 
Their  topic  investigates  the  impact 
of  Martin  Buber's  theories  of  collab- 
orative communication  in  the  writ- 
ing center  (Buber  was  a  twentieth- 
century  philosopher  known  for  his 
study  of  effective  communications). 
The  paper  echoes  Kirby's  and 
MacLennan's  attitudes  toward  The 
Writing  Place:  "It's  impossible  to  put 
a  price  on  the  ability  to  communi- 
cate. Communication  is  what  The 
Writing  Place  is  all  about."

Former  Seahawk  Pitches  for 
Championship  Twins 

Field  of 
Dreams 


Carl  Willis  leaned  over  the 
microphone  in  the  spacious  ballroom 
of  the  University  Center  and 
addressed  his  remarks  to  the  crowd 
assembled,  many  of  them  his  former 
teammates. 

"Everybody  says  that  your 
college  years  are  the  best  years  of 
your  life,"  he  said.  "Well,  I'd  have  to 
certainly  say  that  they  were  the  best 
years  of  mine." 

Willis,  who  earned  his  bachelor's 
degree  in  parks  and  recreation  from 
UNC  Wilmington,  was  honored 
recently  after  becoming  the  first-ever 
Seahawk  athlete  to  play  on  a  world 
championship  team. 

The  Yanceyville,  N.C.,  native 
enjoyed  the  best  season  of  his  nine 
years  in  professional  baseball  in 
1991.  After  starting  out  the  year  in 
the  minors,  he  joined  Minnesota's 
big  league  club  three  weeks  later  and 
played  a  key  role  in  helping  the 
Twins  capture  the  World  Series 
crown  over  Atlanta. 

Willis,  31,  returned  to  campus  to 
be  honored  for  his  accomplishments 
since  leaving  the  Port  City  in  1983. 

"I  guess  it  was  about  13  years 
ago  that  I  was  in  high  school  and  I 
got  a  letter  from  (former  coach) 
Bobby  Guthrie  about  UNCW"  the 
big,  burly  righthander  recalled.  "I 
was  a  typical  high  school  athlete 
headed  for  stardom. 

"I  had  some  professional  scouts 


come  to  see  and  asked 
me  where  I  wanted  to 
go  to  school.  I  said 
North  Carolina.  To 
my  surprise,  a  hand 
ful  of  them  told  me 
about  a  coach  in  Wilming- 
ton named  Bill  Brooks  and  what  a 
great  baseball  man  he  was. 

"I  went  home,  dug  that  letter 
back  out  and  thought,  well,  maybe 
that's  a  good  place  for  me  to  go.  It 
turned  out  that  it  was." 

The  rest  is  history. 

He  started  out  with  Detroit  and 
reached  the  big  leagues  for  the  first 
time  in  1984.  He  later  had  brief 
stints  in  the  majors  with  Cincinnati 
and  the  Chicago  White  Sox. 

Through  it  all,  he  never  forgot 
those  early  years  at  Brooks  Field. 

"I  remember  I  didn't  get  many 
people  out  my  first  couple  of  years," 
he  said.  "I  had  a  lot  to  learn.  Coach 
Brooks  and  Coach  Guthrie  spent  a 
lot  of  time  with  me  and  worked  a  lot 
with  me.  I  came  here  throwing  a  fast 
ball  and  didn't  have  much  of 
anything  else.  I  had  to  learn  on  the 
job. 

"For  the  years  I  was  here,  Coach 
Brooks,  Dr.  Scalf  and  Coach  Guthrie 
. . .  they  were  Seahawk  baseball. 
They  were  committed  to  us  and  we 
tried  to  do  the  best  we  could." 

The  teams  Willis  played  on  went 
83-72  and  he  closed  out  his  four 


years 

with  a  20-16  record  and  a  4-09 

earned  run  average.  He  improved 

each  season  and  posted  a  7-4  record 

with  a  2.79  ERA  in  his  senior  year  in 

1983. 

What  made  the  events  of  the 
past  year  so  special  for  Willis  was  the 
way  they  all  happened.  Before  last 
season  even  started,  he  was  consid- 
ering retirement,  hanging  up  his 
cleats  once  and  for  all  and  returning 
home  for  good. 

"I  didn't  know  if  I  wanted  to 
continue.  I  finished  school  and 
decided  to  give  it  one  more  shot.  In 
my  wildest  dreams,  I  never  thought  I 
would  be  in  a  World  Series. 

Through  it  all,  Willis  has  had 
one  constant — his  family.  He  met 
his  wife,  the  former  Rachel  Butters, 
at  UNCW  and  they  are  the  parents 
of  Alexandria,  4,  and  Daniel,  who 
was  born  December  20. 

"It  was  much  tougher  on  my 
family  than  it  was  for  me.  They've 
been  great.  I'm  glad  this  year 
happened  and  we  could  enjoy  it 
together."

BRAVES' 

Assistant  Trainer 


Ironically,  Jeff  Porter  has  never 
met  Carl  Willis.  Even  so,  the  two  still 
have  a  great  deal  in  common. 

The  pair  of  UNC  Wilmington 
alumni  took  part  in  one  of  the 
biggest  sporting  events  in  the  world 
last  spring  when  professional  base- 
ball's World  Series  took  place  in 
Atlanta  and  Minneapolis. 

Porter,  who  earned  his  bache- 
lor's degree  in  health  and  physical 
education  in  1977,  is  an  assistant 
trainer  with  the  Atlanta  Braves.  He 
graduated  from  UNCW  before 
Willis,  a  member  of  the  world  cham- 
pion Minnesota  Twins,  began  his 
collegiate  career  in  1980. 

For  Porter,  it's  been  a  long  run  to 
the  top  of  his  profession.  It's  a  run 
that's  included  stops  with  the 
Denver  Bears  (AAA),  the 
Jamestown,  N.Y.,  Expos  (A),  the 
Memphis  Chicks  (AA) ,  the  Indi- 
anapolis Indians  (AAA)  and,  finally, 
the  resurgent  Braves. 

But  it  all  started  in  1977  when 
the  Long  Creek,  N.C.,  native  served 
three  years  as  a  student  assistant  for 
former  UNCW  trainer  Tracy  James. 

"I  have  many  fond  memories  of 
my  days  there,"  Porter  said  by  tele- 
phone recently,  busily  preparing  for 
the  start  of  spring  training.  "I  pick  up 
the  paper  and  always  look  for  the 
ball  scores.  When  I  come  home  for 
the  holidays,  I  try  to  go  the  basket- 
ball games  if  I  can. 

"I'm  indebted  to  Tracy  James 
and  to  UNCW  because  that's  where 
I  got  my  start." 

Porter  enjoyed  the  national 
spotlight  thrust  on  the  Braves  during 
last  year's  dramatic  run  at  the  world 


championship.  When  Atlanta 
defeated  Pittsburgh  for  the  National 
League  crown,  the  Burgaw  High 
School  graduate  was  excited. 

"It  was  something  going  into  the 
dugout  before  the  game  and  hearing 
the  fans  with  the  chant  and  seeing 
the  'Tomahawk  Chop.'  It  would  be 
95  degrees  and  you  still  had  goose 
bumps.  When  we  started  the  season, 
we  would  have  2,000  fans  and  they'd 
be  booing.  It  was  just  unbelievable." 

The  league  championship  series 
was  just  a  tune-up  for  what  would 
become  one  of  Porter's  biggest 
thrills. 

"It  was  something  going 

into  the  dugout  before  the 

game  and  hearing  the 

fans  with  the  chant  and 

seeing  the  'Tomahawk 

Chop/" 

"Being  in  the  World  Series  is  one 
of  the  biggest  thrills  for  anyone  asso- 
ciated with  sports,"  he  said.  "I  told 
my  wife  that  you  always  dream  of 
being  in  game  seven  of  the  World 
Series.  We  came  up  on  the  short 
end,  but  to  get  to  game  seven,  that's 
been  the  highlight  of  my  sports 
career." 

Porter,  who  has  a  good  sense  of 
humor,  says  there's  a  simple  reason 
why  he  became  a  trainer  and  not  a 
professional  baseball  player. 

"The  last  time  I  played  baseball 
was  in  my  freshman  year  in  high 
school,"  he  recalled.  "If  you  can't  hit, 
you  can't  play."

George  Bair,  retired  special  assis- 
tant to  UNC  Wilmington  Chancel- 
lors William  Wagoner  and  James 
Leutze,  died  on  March  27  after  a 
short  illness.  Bair  was  instrumental 
in  the  establishment  of  Wilmington 
Excellence,  an  organization  devoted 
to  improving  the  quality  of  life  in 
New  Hanover  County.  He  also 
served  on  the  Community  Advisory 
Committee  for  the  N.C.  Center  for

THE 

CURRENTS 

OF       CHANGE 

The  Capital  Campaign  far  UNCW 


On  April  8,  1992,  Chancellor  Leutze  announced  the  kickoff  of 
UNCW's  $15  million  capital  campaign,  the  school's  first.  Designed  to 
culminate  on  the  university's  50th  anniversary  in  1997,  the  capital 
campaign  will  raise  money  to  enrich  the  educational  and  cultural  offer- 
ings at  UNCW.  Dan  Cameron  and  Robert  Warwick  will  serve  as  co- 
chairs  of  the  campaign's  steering  committee.  Cameron  is  former 
president  of  Atlantic  Telecasting  Corporation  in  Wilmington  and  is 
involved  in  commercial  and  residential  real  estate  development, 
Warwick  is  managing  partner  of  McGladrey  &  Pullen  Certified  Public 
Accountants  and  Consultants  and  is  chair  of  the  UNCW  Board  of 
Trustees. 


Running  a  university  is  like 
running  a  business.  It  must  be 
competitive,  offer  quality  goods  and 
services,  and  satisfy  consumer  needs. 
If  UNCW  is  to  thrive  in  the  market- 
place of  higher  education,  it  must 
offer  an  attractive  package  to 
students  and  employees. 

"To  maintain  a  margin  of  excel- 
lence the  university  has  to  go  out  to 
the  public  and  solicit  funds  for  all  of 
those  things  that  make  education 
better,  that  offer  opportunity  to 
attract  better  people,  to  attract 
better  students,"  said  Chancellor 
James  R.  Leutze.  The  capital 
campaign  is  the  vehicle  for  accom- 
plishing this. 

The  objective  in  conducting  a 
capital  campaign  is  to  build  future 
support.  "I  think  UNCW  has 
evolved  to  become  an  important 
part  of  the  educational  system  in 
North  Carolina  . . .  this  campaign 
will  put  us  on  course  for  building 
endowment  for  the  next  century," 
said  Bill  Anlyan,  vice  chancellor, 


Division  for  University  Advance- 
ment, and  campaign  manager. 

"What's  happening  to  colleges 
and  universities  now  is  that  there's  a 
lack  of  funds  to  run  them  properly. 
UNCW  needs  a  substantial  endow- 
ment to  attract  and  retain  quality 
professors  and  to  upgrade  the  curri- 
culum," said  Dan  Cameron  who  is  a 
member  of  the  UNCW  Foundation. 

The  foundation  is  a  charitable, 
nonprofit  corporation  established  for 
the  sole  purpose  of  managing  private 
monies  that  support  the  university. 
Money  given  to  the  endowment  can 
be  earmarked  for  special  programs. 
"Of  course  the  best  gift  is  unre- 
stricted funds  because  that  can  be 
used  in  the  university's  area  of  great- 
est need  at  the  discretion  of  the 
foundation,"  Cameron  added. 

These  private  donations  are 
invested  and  a  percentage  of  the 
interest  goes  toward  UNCW's 
faculty /staff  development  and 
recruitment  efforts.  "We're  in  a 
competitive  environment  for  faculty 


and  staff  and  we  need  to  supplement 
what  the  state  pays  in  salaries  in 
order  to  attract  the  best  employees. 
We  also  need  to  be  able  to  offer 
scholarships  to  the  best  students," 
said  Bob  Warwick,  campaign  co- 
chair. 

The  whole  funding  picture  for 
state  universities  is  changing, 
according  to  Chancellor  Leutze.  "It's 
becoming  increasingly  clear  that  the 
state  is  never  again  going  to  pick  up 
as  large  a  share  of  funding  for  state 
universities  as  it  did  in  the  1970s  and 
'80s,  he  said."  This  means  that  an 
increasing  portion  of  private  giving 
will  have  to  supplement  tuition 
costs. 

People  are  just  getting  used  to 
the  idea  of  supporting  public  univer- 
sities because  it's  a  relatively  new 
phenomenon,  Leutze  observed. 
"Alumni  and  others  must  realize  that 
private  giving  is  important.  Also,  we 
hope  that  we  have  friends  and 
donors  in  Wilmington,  people  who 
are  not  alumni,  who  believe  in  the 
university's  mission. 

"Alumni  should  be  the  back- 
bone of  the  campaign  . . .  because 
foundations  and  other  donors  often 
ask,  'What's  the  level  of  alumni 
giving.7'  Contributors  want  to  know 
the  depth  of  alumni  loyalty  to  the 
university.  On  the  other  hand,  it  the 
alumni  aren't  supportive,  that  sends 
a  signal  of  indifference." 

"It's  important  for  us  to  build 
our  alumni  relations  program  so  that 
we  enfranchise  all  alumni,  beginning 


UNCW 


U    N    C   W 

with  those  folks  that  graduated  from 
Wilmington  College,"  added 
Anlyan. 

Instilling  commitment  to  the 
campaign  is  a  crucial  part  of  the 
overall  strategy.  "I've  had  several 
faculty  call  me  and  offer  assistance 
in  any  way  they  can  be  used,  and  I'm 
sure,  in  the  overall  strategy,  they  will 
become  some  of  the  best  salespeople 
we  have.  If  we  can  get  the  faculty 
and  the  alumni  to  really  back  this 
campaign,  then  I  don't  think  we'll 
have  any  trouble  meeting  our  goal," 
said  Cameron. 

Marketing  the  Campaign 

The  capital  campaign  is  essen- 
tially a  means  of  forming, 
partnerships  within  and 
outside  of  the  university. 
"Certainly  a  campaign 
encourages  people  to  buy 
into  the  university,  to  take  a 
vested  interest  in  it  so 
people  feel  they  have  a 
stake  in  its  success.  That 
not  only  means  that  they 
provide  further  support,  but 
it  also  means  they  take  a 
greater  interest  in  what's 
going  on  at  the  university," 
Leutze  said. 

A  primary  area  to  benefit  from 
the  campaign  will  be  faculty  devel- 
opment, according  to  Anlyan.  "At 
the  heart  of  any  institution  is  its 
faculty  and  clearly  it's  the  excellence 
of  the  faculty  . . .  that  enables  a 
school  to  attract  the  best  scholars 
and  students,"  he  said. 

However,  faculty  resources  are 
stretched  thin  when  it  comes  to 
completing  research  requirements 
for  UNCW.  Financing  a  single 
research  project  can  cost  as  much  as 
$10,000.  "Faculty  are  told  that  they 
have  to  do  research,  but  there  aren't 
funds  available  to  underwrite  travel 
and  materials  costs.  As  a  result, 
faculty  members  pay  tor  research  out 
of  their  own  pockets.  We  want  to 


]ames  R.  Leutze 


Robert  F.  Warwic 


minimize  that  as  much  as  we  can," 
Leutze  said. 

Campaign  gifts  also  give  the 
university  the  ability  to  react  quickly 
to  changing  conditions.  "The 
budgeting  process  for  a  state  institu- 
tion is  very  complex.  Sometimes  that 
means  it  can  very  cumbersome  . . . 
making  it  difficult  to  operate  a 
dynamic  educational  institution  like 
UNCW  Having  private,  unre- 
stricted funds  would  give  us  a  certain 
amount  ot  flexibility,"  said  Anlyan. 


The  Campaign  Team 

A  very  capable  team  has  been 
assembled  to  spearhead  the  cam- 
paign. "If  you  want  to  know  why  I'm 


involved — 70  years  old  and  looking 
for  an  easy  way  out — I  would  have 
to  say  it's  the  magnetism  of  Dr. 
Leutze.  He's  a  very  difficult  person 
to  turn  down!"  said  Cameron,  long- 
time community  leader  and  success- 
ful businessman.  He  and  his  brother 
Bruce  were  instrumental  in  getting 
the  Cameron  School  of  Business 
Administration  established  at 
UNCW 

Warwick's  involvement  with 
UNCW  goes  back  to  the  days  he 
attended  Wilmington  College  prior 
to  graduating  from  UNC  Chapel 
Hill  in  1 958.  A  member  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  for  three  years  and  a 
foundation  board  member  for  15 
years,  Warwick  has  seen 
the  school  come  into  its 
own.  "I  think  we  have  a 
great  opportunity  right  now 
for  UNC  Wilmington  to 
take  another  step  up  as  a 
major  university  in  our 
state,"  he  said. 

At  the  helm  of  the 
campaign  is  Chancellor 
James  R.  Leutze,  who 
according  to  Cameron,  "is 
not  bashful  at  all  about 
asking  for  money!" 
Daniel  D.  Cameron  "People  like  to  be  part 

of  a  winning  team  and  a  winning 
strategy,"  Chancellor  Leutze  mused. 
"People  back  winners,  they  back 
successful  products,  successful  indi- 
viduals . . .  and  that's  why  they'll 
support  our  super  faculty  and  superb 
programs,"  Leutze  said. 

"Our  capabilities  are  only 
limited  by  our  imagination  and  our 
energy,"  he  continued.  "We're  selling 
a  great  product.  The  more  people 
know  about  us  and  how  good  we  are, 
the  easier  it  will  be  for  them  to  grasp 
our  potential."

The  UNCW  Museum  of  World 
Cultures  is  not  housed  in  a  musty 
and  stale  building  that  few  students 
know  exists.  It  is  unique  in  that, 
different  collections  are  strategically 
located  within  the  sunlit  entrances 
and  busy  halls  of  14  buildings  on 
campus.  According  to  Dr.  Jerry 
Shinn,  museum  director,  the  curious 
placement  of  these  artifacts  in  high 
traffic  areas  promotes  a  certain  type 
of  "unobtrusive  learning"  where 
students  can  "bump  into  another 
culture"  each  time  they  enter  a 
different  building. 

The  museum  evolved  out  of  a 
trip  Shinn  made  in  1967  with  a 
colleague,  Bernard  Boyd,  who  was  a 
professor  of  religion  at  UNC  Chapel 
Hill.  Boyd  invited  Shinn  to  go  on  an 
excavation  in  Israel.  Returning  with 
a  collection  of  pottery  and  other  arti- 
facts, Shinn  placed  them  on  display 
in  UNCWs  Randall  Library  for 
students  to  see.  With  growing  inter- 
est and  the  addition  of  various 
collections  from  all  over  the  world, 
the  UNCW  Museum  of  World 
Cultures  was  born. 

Indonesian  masks  and  temple 
flags,  wooden  statues  from  the  South 
Pacific  Islands,  pre-Columbian 
pottery,  and  colorful  "story  telling" 
quilts  from  Thailand  are  only  a  few 
cif  the  items  on  display  throughout 
campus. 


The  newest  collection  from 
Africa  is  housed  in  Hinton  James 
Hall.  Pictures,  native  costumes, 
textiles,  and  open  books  line  the 
walls  beneath  a  sweeping  cover  of 
colorful  flags  from  many  nations. 
Other  unique  items  range  from 
handcrafted  jewelry  to  dried 
calabash  gourds,  which  were  once 
broken  into  pieces  by  African  brides 
on  their  wedding  day.  The  number  of 
gourd  pieces  were  believed  to  predict 
the  number  of  children  the  woman 
would  bear.  The  African  collection 
captures  the  essence  of  the  museum 
for  Shinn  and  provides  a  visual 
example  of  how  he  would  like  to  see 
future  collections  displayed. 

Privately  funded,  the  museum 
operates  on  a  budget  that  averages 
$6,000  per  year.  A  small  percentage 
of  this  revenue  is  generated  from  the 
purchase  of  museum  memberships. 
But  yearly  fund-raisers  like  the 
Museum  of  World  Cultures  Auction 
in  November,  a  military  show  in  July, 
and  a  toy  show  in  May  help  supple- 
ment the  museum's  income  and 
attract  the  public  eye. 

Many  of  Shinn's  colleagues  and 
even  some  students  make  up  a  group 
of  donors  who  actually  contribute 
artifacts  or  lend  personal  collections 
to  the  museum.  Local  newspapers, 
radio,  and  television  also  help  to 
highlight  museum  activity.

One  of  the  most  popular  events 
funded  by  the  Museum  of  World 
Cultures  is  the  Bernard  Boyd  Memo- 
rial Lecture.  Held  only  every  few 
years,  this  lecture  features  a  promi- 
nent scholar  of  religion  and  is  named 
after  Shinn's  colleague  who  inspired 
the  idea  for  the  museum. 

Indonesian  masks  and 
temple  flags,  wooden 
statues  from  the  South 

Pacific  Islands,  pre- 
Columbian  pottery,  and 
colorful  "story  telling" 
quilts  from  Thailand  are 
only  a  few  of  the  items  on 
display  throughout 
campus. 


Shinn,  who  remembers  Boyd  as 
being  student-oriented,  has  carried 
on  the  tradition.  Every  semester 
enthusiastic  student  workers  and 
volunteers  refinish  display  cases,  put 
up  displays,  and  help  to  research  and 
catalog  the  artifacts.  Shinn  has 
clearly  developed  "a  following"  both 
inside  and  outside  the  classroom  and 
admits  that,  "Without  my  students, 
I  could  do  nothing. 
The  museum  would 
not  exist." 

With  funding 
offset  by  donations 
and  labor  provided 
by  volunteers,  the 
museum  collections 
have  grown  to  such 
proportions  that 
storage  space  pre- 
sents a  problem. 
Three  small  rooms 
on  campus  are 
presently  being  used 
to  store  items  but 
Shinn  envisions  the 


day  when  every- 
thing can  be  acces- 
sible. 

One  of  his 
goals  is  to  have  a 
dedicated  facility 
on  campus  that 
would  serve  as  the 
hub  of  the 
museum.  It  would 
provide  a  place  for 
researching,  pair- 
ing, labeling,  and 
cataloging  incom- 
ing artifacts.  There     J 8th  century  ceramic 
would  be  room  to  build  new  display 
cases  and  repair  old  ones.  A  refer- 
ence library  would  house  books, 
videos,  films,  and  music  for  student 
and  faculty  use. 

Upcoming  events  sponsored  by 
the  Museum  of  World  Cultures 
include  guided  tours  for  the  Associa- 
tion for  University  Women  from 
Chapel  Hill  and  a  special  display  for 
the  Columbus  Quincentennial. 
Some  of  the  pieces  for  this 
display  in  Randall  Library  will  be  on 
loan  from  a  donor  in  Newton,  N.C. 
while  other  items  have  been  part  of  a 
display  in  the  Mint  Museum  in 
Charlotte,  N.C.  In  addition,  Emilio 
Moreschi,  a  collector  of  early  maps, 
will  lecture  on  15th  century  naviga- 
tion. Other  collections  that  will  be 
featured 
during  the 
quincenten- 
nial include 
colonial  art 
from  South 
America, 
religious 
artifacts  and 
sacred  church 
panels,  and 
some  pre- 
Columbian 
art  and 
pottery. 

Shinn  is 
optimistic

about  future  growth  and  expansion

are  eagerly  preparing  for  yet  another 
display.  Thanks  to  the  generosity  of 
Naomi  Yopp  of  Wilmington,  a  new 
display  case  is  being  constructed  for 
use  in  the  University  Union.  William 
Penna,  an  old  school  buddy  of 
Shinn's,  also  contributed  money  to 
go  towards  a  display  case  that  will  be 
used  in  Kenan  Auditorium.  Shinn  is 
grateful  for  the  addition  of  much 
needed  space  these  cases  will 
provide. 

The  long  term  goal  of  the 
museum  is  to  feature  something 
from  every  culture  in  the  world. 
"Because  so  many  cultures  are  dying, 
this  dream  can  never  really  be 
reached,  but  it  does  give  us  some- 
thing to  work  toward,"  said  Shinn.  If 
the  effort  to  save  even  a  small 
portion  of  those  worlds  results  in 
teaching  and  opening  the  minds  of 
others,  we  will  all  benefit.

FROM     MOZART     TO     MEGABYTES 


In  a  small  room  where 
symphonies  are  born  and  a  conduc- 
tor's dreams  are  given  life,  Steven 
Errante  sits  at  a  keyboard  composing 
and  recording  musical  scores.  Much 
like  the  composers  who  have  gone 
before  him,  Errante  wrestles  with 
timbre  and  tone.  As  the  music  takes 
form,  notes  emerge.  Emotions  stir. 
The  feeling  is  captured  on  paper. 

For  the  last  several  centuries, 
composers  have  used  dip  pens  and 
slow- drying  India  ink  to  inscribe 
their  music.  This  was  a  toilsome  task 
that  required  meticulous  penman- 
ship. Revisions  and  corrections  were 
"erased"  by  scraping  the  dried  ink 
away  with  a  razor's  edge.  As  a  result, 
it  often  took  months  to  produce 
large  orchestral  works  and  to  notate 
each  instrument's  part. 

Today,  computers  and  computer 
software  provide  a  rapid  and  efficient 
means  to  transcribe  and  teach 
music.  When  coupled  with  an  elec- 
tronic keyboard,  computer  technol- 
ogy enables  the  composer  or  the 
student  to  see  what  notes  have  been 
played  by  looking  at  the  computer's

This  representation  of  a  keyboard  on  the  computer  screen  is  used  to 
teach  scales.  Using  a  mouse,  the  student  clicks  on  the  appropriate 
piano  keys  and  then  clicks  on  the  "enors"  box  to  detennine  accuracy 


video  display  terminal.  This  informa- 
tion can  be  saved  to  the  hard  drive 
or  to  a  floppy  disk  and  can  be  printed 
out  for  the  player  to  review.  Revi- 
sions can  be  made  on  screen  with  a 
simple  maneuver  of  the  computer's 
mouse. 

In  addition,  computer  technol- 
ogy enables  the  player  to  hear  what's 
noted  on  the  screen,  otherwise 
known  as  aural  proofreading.  "You 
can  listen  for  patterns  and  nota- 
tion— it's  a  wonderful  composing 
tool,"  said  Errante,  UNCW  music 
professor. 

"Finale,"  a  music-publishing 
software  package  designed  for  the 
Apple  Macintosh  computer,  holds 
great  promise  for  enhancing  the 
creative  process  of  composing  music. 
"It  was  designed  to  assume  many  of 
the  purely  mechanical  tasks  such  as 
copying  out  the  parts  for  each  indi- 
vidual instrument  and  recopying  the 
entire  score  as  revisions  are  made. 
This  allows  more  time  for  creating 
rather  than  copying,"  said  Errante. 

The  craft  of  composing  remains 
intact,  however,  according  to 

Errante.  "I  still 
sketch  music  with 
pencil  and  paper. 
When  the  music 
begins  to  solidify,  I 
compile  all  of  my 
transcripts  and 
enter  them  into 
the  computer.  This 
way  I  can  print 
clean  draft  copies 
of  a  musical  score 
and  sketch  in  revi- 
sions instead  of 
piecing  together 


bits  and  pieces  of  paper  or  recopying 
the  entire  score  by  hand,"  he  said. 

Errante  also  noted  that  produc- 
ing draft  copies  on  the  computer 
provides  an  interesting  history  of  the 
evolution  of  a  work,  one  that  may 
not  have  been  possible  with  the  pen 
and  ink  method  where  revisions 
were  often  made  by  scratching  away 
old  notes. 

Years  ago  music  students  learned 
about  music  theory  and  composition 
by  working  at  the  piano.  Today, 
students  at  UNCW  get  "hands  on" 
experience  by  using  a  computer 
keyboard  and  a  mouse.  Errante's 
creation  of  a  music  drill  software 
program  has  been  fundamental  in 
helping  music  students  develop  their 
writing  and  aural  skills.  "It's  been 
two  years  in  the  making — I  expen- 
mented  with  the  concept  in  my 
music  fundamentals  class,"  he  said. 
The  program  offers  students  drills  in 
note  reading,  key  signatures,  inter- 
vals, scales,  melodic  dictation, 
chords,  harmonic  dictation,  and 
transpositions.  Students  can  even 
hear  what  they're  playing. 

"The  program  allows  students  to 
drill  themselves.  It  supplements  what 
they  learn  in  class,"  said  Lori  White, 
assistant  professor  of  music  at  UNCW. 

"It's  like  having  a  teacher  there 
feeding  you  endless  questions  on 
music  theory,"  said  Ellen  Robison,  an 
instructor  of  rudiments  of  music  and 
music  theory.  The  students  can  use 
the  computer  disks  in  any  of  the 
computer  labs  on  campus.  Of  course 
when  they're  working  with  this 
program  they  must  wear  headphones

Steven  Errante  demonstrates  the  music  skill  drills  program  that  he  designed  for  the  computer. 


so  they  don't  distract  the  other 
students! 

Tim  Otto,  a  junior  finance 
major,  thinks  the  music  skill  drills 
program  is  an  ideal  way  to  introduce 
someone  to  music  theory.  "It's  addic- 
tive!" he  said.  "You  stick  with  it 
because  you  don't  want  the 
computer  to  get  the  best  of  you."  It 
rates  students  by  the  amount  of  time 
it  takes  them  to  complete  each  exer- 
cise and  by  the  number  of  correct 
answers.  "It's  given  me  a  better 
appreciation  for  music,"  Otto  said. 

Tandy  Lowder,  a  junior  voice 
major,  said  the  program  has  really 
helped  her  with  accuracy  and  speed 
in  reading  and  counting  music.  "I've 
made  good  progress  with  my  theory 
skills,"  she  said. 

Errante's  currently  working  on  a 
revised  edition  of  his  software  pack- 
age that  will  incorporate  rhythm  and 
tie  in  with  a  theory  text  book  that  he 
wrote. 

Another  software  package  that 
Errante  is  exploring  enables  a 
composer  to  write  electronic  music 
by  recording  sounds — vocal,  elec- 
tronic, or  environmental — onto  a 


computer  and  manipulating  the 
sound  waves.  "This  is  a  very  sophisti- 
cated kind  of  music  composition," 
Errante  said. 

Student  interest  in  electronic 
music  has  always  been  strong  at 
UNCW,  he  observed.  Synthesizers, 
or  keyboards  that  can  electronically 
duplicate  the  sounds  of  different 
musical  instruments,  have  opened 
up  all  sorts  of  possibilities  for  compo- 
sition. "Technology  is  changing — 
students  don't  just  produce  hand 
written  musical  scores — they 
produce  cassette  tapes  that  are  digi- 
tally recorded  directly  from  their 
synthesizers,"  said  Errante.  These 
synthesizers  feature  all  of  the  instru- 
mental sounds  in  a  multi-part  work. 
They  even  make  it  possible  for  a 
musician  to  change  the  key  or  tempo 
of  a  piece.  This  capability  puts 
composers  more  in  touch  with  their 
music,  Errante  noted. 

Jay  Manley,  a  junior  majoring  in 
classical  guitar,  recently  composed  a 
piece  for  acoustic  instruments  and 
programmed  his  synthesizer  to  repro- 
duce these  sounds.  "I  recorded 
multiple  lines  of  music  from  my 
keyboard  and  was  able  to  hear  the 
different  parts  of  the  piece.  This  gave 


me  an  idea  of  how  the  different 
timbres  or  tones  would  work 
together,"  Manley  said.  While  this 
realism  is  very  satisfying  to  his  work 
as  a  classical  composer,  Manley  also 
enjoys  creating  new  and  unique 
sounds  on  his  synthesizer. 

James  Brown,  another  music 
student  at  UNCW  said  using  a 
synthesizer  has  made  an  extreme 
difference  in  his  playing.  Trained  as  a 
trumpet  player,  he  has  learned 
keyboard  skills  and  has  made  great 
strides  in  composing.  "It's  like  having 
a  little  recording  studio  with  a  small 
symphony  orchestra,"  he  said.  "My 
world  has  become  three-dimen- 
sional instead  of  two-dimensional. 
Musicians  who  aren't  using  this  tool 
are  really  at  a  disadvantage." 

In  addition  to  teaching  music 
fundamentals  and  composition, 
Errante  teaches  upper-  and  lower- 
level  music  theory,  counterpoint, 
orchestration,  and  piano.  He  is  also 
conductor  of  the  Wilmington 
Symphony  Orchestra,  a  position  he's 
held  for  six  years.  A  graduate  of  the 
University  of  Michigan  and  the  Juil- 
liard  School  of  Music,  Errante  came 
to  UNCW  in  1986  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Richmond  where  he  was  a 
tenured  professor  of  music  and  con- 
ductor of  the  Richmond  Symphony. 

While  camping,  hiking,  and 
photography  are  Errante's  hobbies, 
music  remains  his  passion.  "It's  a 
powerful  kind  of  communication," 
he  said.  "I  enjoy  conducting  the 
most  because  there  are  so  many 
variables  for  instrumental  color. 
When  you  teach  music,  you  show 
students  the  fundamentals,  how  to 
appreciate  music.  It's  like  teaching 
an  airplane  mechanic  how  to  fix 
engines.  When  you  perform,  it's  like 
flying."

n  November  15,  1861,  Victor 
Malga  (or  Malya) ,  a  Spaniard  living 
in  Pendleton,  S.C.,  wrote  to  his 
family  in  Mataro,  Spain.  "We  are 
feeling  the  terrible  effects  of  the  war," 
he  said.  "For  a  year  now  no  one  has 
earned  a  penny,  and  on  the  other 
hand,  prices  have  risen,  since  much 
food,  clothes,  shoes,  etcetera  have 
reached  an  exorbitant  price,  and 
many  families  are  suffering  the 
consequences  ot  the  blockade." 

His  letter  was  placed  aboard  the 
steamship  Nuestra  Sefk/ra  de  Regla,  one 
of  few  ships  leaving  America,  in  hopes 
that  it  would  find  its  way  to  Spain. 

Malya's  letter  never  reached  his 
family.  The  Regla  was  seized  during 
the  Civil  War  by  Union  forces  in 
1861  and  used  by  the  U.S.  Navy  until 
the  war  ended.  All  correspondence 
on  the  ship  was  removed  and  later 
used  in  a  court  case  to  decide  if  the 
ship's  Cuban  owners  were  owed 
monetary  compensation  for  the 
ship's  loss. 

When  the  court  case  ended, 
Malga's  letter,  and  800  other  letters 
and  documents,  a  portion  of  which 
were  written  in  Spanish,  were  placed 
in  America's  Northeast  Region 
National  Archives.  They  were 
forgotten  until  1990,  when  the  hull 
of  the  Regla  was  discovered  along  the 
western  shore  of  the  Cape  Fear  River. 
A  team  of  underwater  archaeologists 
from  the  North  Carolina  Aquarium 
at  Fort  Fisher  identified  the  wreck 
with  the  help  of  a  group  of  Pender 
County  middle  school  students  led 
by  academic  enrichment  teacher, 
Charles  Baker. 

Mark  Wilde  -Ramsing,  a  member 
of  the  archaeological  team,  wanted 


A  SHIP  WITH 


to  know  what  the  ship's  name  meant 
in  English  (Our  Lady  of  Regla,  a  town 
in  the  province  of  Havana).  He 
contacted  the  faculty  in  UNCW's 
department  of  Foreign  Languages 
and  Literatures  for  assistance. 

That  initial  contact  led  to  a  six- 
month  project  for  the  department. 
Three  professors,  Drs.  Joann  and 
Terry  Mount,  and  Dr.  Carlos  Perez, 
and  two  foreign  language  seniors, 
Susan  Ball  and  Marta  Roller,  took  on 
the  task  of  translating  the  Reghi's 
Spanish  documents  that  had  been 
stored  in  the  National  Archives  for 
the  past  100  years. 

They  sorted  through  photo- 
copies of  the  documents  and  began 
the  tedious  task  of  transcribing  all 
1 83  pages  into  readable  Spanish  and 
then  translating  them  into  English 
summaries. 

Deciphering  Documents 

Translating  the  documents 
turned  out  to  be  a  task  few  of  them 
had  tackled  before.  "The  students 
learned  a  lot,"  said  Joann  Mount. 
"We  don't  have  courses  at  the  under- 
graduate level  that  deal  with  things 
like  this." 

Much  of  the  ink  used  in  compos- 
ing the  original  documents  had  faded 
with  age  or  had  bled  through  the 
pages.  Some  of  the  document  papers 
had  darkened  with  age,  resulting  in 
photocopies  that  were  nearly  black. 

"I  don't  know  how  we  did  it!" 
said  Roller.  "It  was  a  lot  ot  guesswork." 

The  handwriting  of  many  of  the 
letters  was  difficult  to  read  and  many 
contained  misspellings.  The  ship's 
captain,  Ignacio  Reynals,  who 
Mount  described  as  poorly  educated, 


i 


Nuestra  i 


often  left  out  silent  letters  in  words, 
or  combined  several  small  words  into 
one  big  word,  or  divided  big  words 
into  several  smaller  ones. 

Once  the  correspondence  was 
translated,  the  group  was  able  to 
help  piece  together  the  history  of  the 
Regla  and  visualize  what  life  was  like 
for  Hispanics  living  in  South 
Carolina  during  the  Civil  War.  "It 
was  like  reading  a  novel,"  said  Roller. 
"I  learned  a  lot  about  a  community 
that  very  few  people  knew  existed." 

Many  letters  described  the  daily 
lives  of  their  authors,  "One  of  the 
letters  I  translated  was  from  a  man 
who  had  left  two  pairs  of  shoes  some- 
where and  wanted  them  sent  to 
him,"  said  Joann  Mount.  "Another 
told  of  a  baby  cutting  teeth." 

A  prevalent  theme  was  blockade 
running.  "Numerous  letter  writers 
wanted  someone  to  break  through 
the  blockade  because  they  needed 
materials','  said  Mount.  "They  needed 
staples  like  flour  and  molasses  just  to 
get  by."  Several  letters  hinted  at  the

need  for  supplies;  others  made 
blatant  propositions. 

A  letter  from  Hall  and  Company 
in  Charleston,  S.C.  to  Rigalt  Dardel 
and  Co.  in  Havana,  Cuba,  reads: 
"...  we  propose  two  expeditions 
under  the  Spanish  flag,  one  with  salt 
and  the  other  with  coffee  . . .  For  our 
part  we  will  invest  up  to  $2,500  if  it 
can  be  insured  against  sea  risk  and 
war  risk ..." 

Captain's  Log 

The  Nuestra  Senora  de  Regla  was 
built  in  New  York  City  in  1861  as  a 
ferry  boat  for  Havana,  Cuba.  The 
ship's  completion  came  at  a  perilous 
time.  The  Civil  War  had  broken  out 
in  April  of  that  year.  In  order  to 
reach  its  Cuban  destination,  the  ship 
had  to  travel  along  the  Southern 
coast  of  the  United  States  where 
President  Lincoln  had  ordered  a 
blockade  of  all  Southern  ports. 

Captain  Reynals  was  concerned 
about  what  would  happen  to  his  ship 
if  he  needed  to  stop  at  any  Southern 
ports.  Its  foreign  ownership  made  it 
neutral,  but  would  blockaders  honor 
its  neutrality? 

In  addition,  the  Regla  was 
designed  to  be  a  ferry  boat,  not  an 
ocean  going  vessel,  and  Reynals  was 
unsure  of  how  it  would  handle  the 
long,  turbulent  voyage. 

Despite  his  concerns,  Captain 
Reynals  and  a  crew  of  22  began  their 
voyage  to  Cuba  on  October  12, 
1861.  Just  one  day  into  the  journey, 
the  ship  had  to  return  to  New  York 
with  engine  trouble.  Two  days  after  it 
set  out  again,  the  Regla  encountered 
a  storm  and  was  blown  ashore  at 
Ocracoke  Inlet,  North  Carolina.

The  USS  Commodore  Hull,  as  the  Regit  was  known  during  the  Civil  War 


The  crew  threw  coal  and  fresh 
water  overboard  in  an  attempt  to 
lighten  the  load  and  thus  free  the 
boat.  Once  the  boat  was  freed  the 
crew  discovered  the  engine  was 
damaged. 

The  Regla  managed  to  limp  to 
Georgetown,  S.C,  where  it  was 
boarded  by  Confederate  soldiers  who 
demanded  Reynals  turn  over  all 
Northerners  on  board.  When 
Reynals  refused,  he  was  taken  as  a 
prisoner  to  Charleston.  The  Spanish 
consul  in  Charleston  arranged  for 
the  captain's  freedom.  To  repay  the 
consul,  Reynals  agreed  to  deliver 
several  bundles  of  letters  to  Cuba. 

By  the  24th  of  November,  the 
Regla  was  able  to  leave  Georgetown, 
only  to  have  its  journey  to  Havana 
interrupted  again.  After  three  days 
at  sea  the  ship  was  boarded  by 
Federal  Quartermaster  Captain 
Rufus  Saxton,  who  offered  to 
purchase  the  Regla  for  use  by  the 
Union  forces. 

Captain  Reynals  refused,  saying 
he  didn't  have  the  authority  to  sell 
the  ship.  The  next  day,  Union 
commanding  general  William  Tecu- 
mseh  Sherman  ordered  the  Regla  to

be  searched  amid  rumors  that 
Confederate  letters  were  on  board. 

A  carpet  bag  placed  on  the  ship 
by  the  Spanish  Consul  was  searched 
and  found  to  have  a  false  bottom.  It 
contained  letters  that  included  refer- 
ences to  blockade  running  and  may 
have  led  to  the  Regla's  seizure  by 
Union  forces  the  following  day. 

The  Regla  served  the  U.S.  Navy 
until  1865,  first  as  a  transport  for 
Union  troops  and  supplies.  After 
being  renamed  the  Commodore  Hull 
and  outfitted  with  arms,  the  steamer 
served  in  the  Albermarle  Campaign 
patrolling  the  sound  waters  of  North 
Carolina. 

After  the  war,  the  Commodore 
Hull  was  sold  to  private  interests  in 
Wilmington  and  renamed  the 
Waccamau.:  It  was  used  as  a  passen- 
ger and  freight  carrier  on  the  Cape 
Fear  River  until  it  was  burned  by 
schoolboys  in  1886. 

The  U.S.  Supreme  Court  even- 
tually awarded  $144,000  to  the 
Regla's  original  owners,  the  Havana 
Bay-Mantanzas  Railroad  Company 
of  Cuba,  for  the  loss  of  their  vessel 
and  its  sen-ices.

by  John  Matthews 

Finishing  his  lecture  on  West 
African  culture,  Andrew  Clark, 
assistant  professor  of  history  at 
UNCW,  pauses  to  take  questions. 
The  response  is  enthusiastic:  one  by 
one,  students  from  Cape  Fear  Com- 
munity College,  New  Hanover  High 
School,  and  Hoggard  High  School 
receive  answers  to  their  various  ques- 
tions. What  makes  this  class  unique 
is  that  none  of  the  students  had  to 
leave  their  own  campus  to  participate. 

These  students  are  part  of  a  new 
two-year  pilot  program  jointly  funded 
hy  Southern  Bell  and  Northern  Tele- 
com. These  companies  are  commit- 
ted to  improving  education  in  North 
Carolina  through  "distance  learning." 
The  project,  called  "Vision  Carolina," 
includes  two  interactive  video  net- 
works: one  in  the  Charlotte  area  and 
the  other  in  New  Hanover  County. 

Site  locations  for  the  Wilming- 
ton area's  network  include  UNCW,

Hanover  and  Hoggard  high  schools, 
and  New  Hanover  Regional  Medical 
Center,  with  UNCW  serving  as  the 
network's  hub.  Each  of  these  sites 
includes  a  classroom  interconnected 
by  two-way,  full  motion  video  that's 
transmitted  over  fiber  optic  cable  to 
the  other  sites.  The  classrooms  are 
equipped  with  video  cameras,  moni- 
tors for  viewing  the  other  classrooms, 
and  audio  equipment.  The  audio 
and  video  signals  are  coded  into  laser 
messages  and  sent  through  under- 
ground fiber  optic  lines  to  a  receiving 
site  where  it  is  decoded  into  a  video 
monitor  and  speakers.  Since  the 
students  have  microphones  at  their 
desks,  they  can  talk  back  and  forth 
with  the  speaker  at  the  sending  site, 
making  the  class  interactive. 

UNCW's  fiber  optics  room  is 
located  on  the  second  floor  of 
Randall  Library  and  is  administered 
by  Russell  Rivenbark,  a  telecommu- 
nications equipment  technician  at 
UNCW  and  program  controller  for 
the  network. 
"People 
have  responded 
enthusiastically 
to  this  new 
technology," 
said  Rivenbark. 
"The  high 
school  students 
have  gotten 
used  to  it  and 
seem  to  enjoy 
it.  Students 
here  at  the 
university  react 
positively,  but

not  everyone  is  aware  of  it.  Hope- 
fully, that  will  change  as  additional 
courses  and  special  events  are  added 
to  the  schedule." 

This  past  spring  semester  a  vari- 
ety of  courses  and  lectures  were 
offered,  including  a  criminal  justice 
class  taught  from  New  Hanover 
High  School,  an  engineering  class 
taught  from  Hoggard  High  School,  a 
lecture  series  on  pharmacology 
broadcast  from  Cape  Fear  Commu- 
nity College,  and  a  lecture  series 
originating  from  UNCW  that 
focused  on  world  events. 

Model  Programs 

"We  are  trying  to  find  new 
models  for  curriculum  development 
that  will  stress  partnership  and  coop- 
eration among  educational  institu- 
tions," said  Everard  Smith,  assistant 
director  for  the  Division  for  Public 
Service  at  UNCW  and  the  site  coor- 
dinator for  UNCW's  fiber  optics 
room.  "One  such  course  proposal 
under  development  is  entitled  Intro- 
duction to  Science,  Humanities, 
and  Society.  This  interdisciplinary 
course  will  be  broadcast  from 
UNCW  to  the  other  site  locations  in 
Wilmington  and  will  be  taught  by  Dr. 
Patricia  Turrisi,  assistant  professor  of 
philosophy  and  religion,  and  Dr. 
Thad  Dankel,  professor  of  mathe- 
matical sciences.  Also,  medical  resi- 
dents and  hospital  resource 
personnel  will  participate." 

New  Hanover  Regional  Medical 
Center  (NHRMC),  one  of  the  first 
sites  to  begin  broadcasting,  will  use 
fiber  optic  technology  to  present 
lectures  on  various  health  issues  and 
preventive  medicine.  These  topics 
will  interface  with  the  nursing 
programs  at  UNCW  and  Cape  Fear

the  technology  of  the  network. 

"The  idea  and  goal  of  this  net- 
work is  to  maximize  the  educational 
and  medical  resources  in  our  region 
and  to  branch  out  to  rural  areas  that 
don't  have  full  access  to  the  services 
of  a  university  or  hospital,"  said  Bob 
Tyndall,  interim  dean  of  UNCW's 
School  of  Education.  Tyndall  is  also 
executive  director  of  CAPE,  the 
Consortium  for  the  Advancement  of 
Public  Education,  a  non-profit 
corporation  created  by  educators 
and  business  leaders  to  improve 
educational  quality  in  Southeastern 
North  Carolina.  CAPE  was  instru- 
mental in  taking  the  fiber  optics  idea 
from  concept  to  reality. 

"CAPE  hopes  all  the  school 
systems  and  community  colleges  in 
the  region  will  be  able  to  share  the 
university's  resources,"  he  said. 

New  Horizons 

What  does  the  future  hold  for 
fiber  optics  technology?  The  next 
step  involves  establishing  a  fiber  link 
to  MCNC,  or  the  Microelectronic 
Center  of  North  Carolina.  MCNC 


UNC  Chapel  Hill,  Bowman  Gray, 
and  Duke. 

"Also,  we  will  have  access  to  the 
Mecklenburg  County  network  and 
its  11  sites,"  said  Jane  Patterson,  chair 
of  the  Cape  Fear  Educational  Part- 
nership Network  and  director  of  the 
Division  for  Public  Service,  which 
oversees  operations  of  UNCW's 
fiber  optics  room.  "Hopefully,  over 
the  next  decade  we  will  see  fiber 
optic  cable  extended  to  rural  areas, 
even  into  people's  homes.  Students 
will  be  able  to  take  classes  without 
having  to  leave  their  living  rooms." 
Patterson  emphasized  these  last  two 
goals  were  long-term  and  that 
there  were  obstacles  in  the  way 
including  complicated  billing  proce- 
dures that  stem  from  access  and 
transmission  fees. 

One  interesting  aspect  of  the 
New  Hanover  County  network  is 
that  it  includes  technology  developed 
at  UNCW  George  Quinn,  director 
of  computing  and  information 
systems  for  UNCW,  and  his  staff  were 
part  of  a  task  force  that  developed 
the  EPN,  or  Educational  Partnership 


"Hopefully,  over  the  next 

decade  we  will  see  fiber 

optic  cable  extended  to 

rural  areas,  even  into 

people's  homes.  Students 

will  be  able  to  take  classes 

without  having  to  leave 

their  living  rooms." 

Network  On-Line  Scheduling 
System.  This  system,  which  operates 
off  of  the  university's  VAX  computer, 
allows  each  site  coordinator  in  the 
network  to  automatically  schedule  a 
course  or  event.  Once  a  course  is 
approved  by  the  EPN  curriculum 
committee,  it  is  entered  on  the 
system  by  the  originating  site  coordi- 
nator and  is  sent  as  an  electronic 
mail  message  to  Rivenbark,  program 
controller  for  the  network.  Rivenbark 
uses  this  information  to  program  a 
microcomputer  on  the  network 
to  connect  the  sending  and  receiving 
sites. 

The  EPN  on-line  scheduling 
system  has  proved  very  effective  and 
is  now  available  via  dial-up  access  to 
the  community  at  large.  Anyone 
with  a  microcomputer  and  modem 
can  call  (919)  350-4065  and  view 
the  EPN  schedule  on-line. 

Plans  to  upgrade  the  New  Han- 
over County  network  are  already 
underway.  A  new  codec,  the  machine 
that  codes  and  decodes  the  audio  and 
visual  signals,  will  arrive  in  August. 
This  will  enable  the  system  to 
upgrade  to  a  two-channel  capability. 

Meanwhile,  representatives 
of  institutions  belonging  to  the 
Cape  Fear  Educational  Partnership 
Network  meet  with  the  network 
management  group  to  discuss  ongo- 
ing operations  and  future  expansion 
needs  of  the  network.

We  try  not  to  talk  a  lot 

about  the  business  at  home, 

but  we  do  have  a  lot  of 

common  interests  and  discuss 

new  banking  regulations 

and  things  happening  in  the 

community.  Basically,  we  help 

each  other  understand  the 

developments  that  relate  to 

both  credit  unions  and  savings 

institutions. 


The  daughter  of  a  small  town- 
grocer  in  Southeastern  North 
Carolina  grew  up  loving  people  and 
learning  how  to  run  the  family  busi- 
ness. Her  brother's  best  friend  grew 
up  helping  neighbors  and  kin.  As  a 
young  boy,  he  loved  to  explore  the 
woods  and  beaches  of  his  native 
Brunswick  County.  She  graduated 
from  UNCW  in  1978  with  a  bache- 
lor's degree  in  management.  He 
majored  in  management  also  and 
graduated  from  UNCW  in  1975. 
They  were  married  in  1977. 

Today  Judy  and  Wayne  Tharp 
are  in  the  banking  business.  They 
share  not  only  childhood  memories, 
but  banking  interests  as  well. 

You  see,  Judy  is  president  of 
Cape  Fear  Employees  Credit  Union 
of  Wilmington  while  Wayne  is  vice 
president  of  First  Investors  Savings 
Bank  in  Leland. 

"We're  competing  in  the  same 
neighborhoods!"  Wayne  revealed. 
Many  of  the  members  of  Cape  Fear 
Employees  Credit  Union  (CFECU) 
are  residents  of  Leland  and  employ- 
ees of  DuPont,  the  credit  union's 
original  sponsor.  Most  of  Wayne's 
clients  live  in  Leland  and  rural 
communities  in  Brunswick  County. 

"One  issue  that's  causing  a  lot  of 
controversy  between  the  two  indus- 
tries is  taxation,"  he  said.  (Credit 
unions  are  tax  exempt  and  savings 
banks  are  not.)  "We're  both  so 
committed  to  our  businesses  and  our

stake  in  the  taxation  debate  that 
we've  drawn  the  line  on  discussing  it. 
It's  a  very  volatile  subject!" 

While  a  credit  union  is  a 
nonprofit  organization  that  serves  its 
members,  most  commercial  banks 
are  stock-holder  owned  and  operate 
to  make  a  profit.  These  banks  serve 
the  general  public. 

Risk  and  Return 

Judy  took  a  leap  of  faith  when 
she  began  her  career  with  the  credit 
union.  After  working  for  one  year  as 
an  administrator  with  a  government 
agency,  Judy  was  anxious  to  find  a 
job  that  would  capitalize  on  her 
management  and  accounting  skills 
as  well  as  her  love  for  people.  "I 
answered  an  ad  in  the  Wilmington 
paper  that  was  looking  for  an  ener- 
getic person  who  was  willing  to  take 
on  a  challenge  and  work  hard  for  a 
little  bit  of  money,  with  the  return 
being  a  prosperous  career,"  said  Judy. 
"I  didn't  even  know  what  a  credit 
union  was!"  she  said.  "But  I  really 
felt  well  prepared,  given  the  educa- 
tion I  had  received  at  UNCW" 


Judy  is  responsible  for  imple- 
menting policy  set  out  by  the  credit 
union's  board  of  directors  which  is 
elected  by  its  5,000  members.  She  is 
charged  with  planning  the  credit 
union's  financial  future.  "I'm  pretty 
adept  with  a  personal  computer,  so  I 
do  financial  projections  and  spread 
analyses  as  well  as  develop  budgets. 
That's  my  thing — I  really  enjoy 
crunching  numbers,"  Judy  said.  "But 
I'm  also  people  oriented,  which 
might  be  considered  an  odd  combi- 
nation of  interests!" 

Wayne's  background  in  banking 
goes  back  to  1976  when  he  landed 
his  first  banking  job  working  as  an 
adjustor  for  a  consumer  finance 
company.  It  was  there  that  he  learned 
how  to  collect  the  money  people  had 
been  loaned.  "That's  good  experience 
for  anybody  in  this  field  . . .  because 
they  can  learn  all  of  the  things  to 
look  for  when  deciding  whether  or 
not  to  loan  someone  money,"  he 
said.  He  did  that  for  18  months. 

He  then  was  branch  manager, 
specializing  in  management  and 
appraisal,  tor  Security  Savings  and

Loan  in  Leland.  "I  loved  dealing 
with  real  estate  and  appraisals!"  He 
did  that  for  nine  years  before  taking 
a  job  with  First  Investors  Savings 
Bank,  a  small  community  savings 
institution  headquartered  in 
Whiteville,  N.C.  With  First 
Investors,  he  was  responsible  for 
starting  a  new  branch  in  Shallotte. 
He  was  so  successful,  that  in  April  of 
1991,  Wayne  was  assigned  to  start 
another  branch  in  Leland. 

"I've  always  worked  in  small 
savings  and  loans — I  enjoy  getting 
to  know  my  customers,"  he  said. 


MARRIED 

TO  THE 

COMPETITION 


Wayne  is  the  sole  lending  officer  at 
First  Investors  and  also  works  to 
recruit  new  business  for  the  bank. 
He  implements  policy  set  out  by  a 
paid  board  of  directors.  As  a  branch 
manager  with  First  Investors,  Wayne 
administers  all  types  of  loans  includ- 
ing mortgage,  consumer,  and 
commercial  loans.  He  manages  the 
office  in  addition  to  being  the  chief 
contact  person  for  questions  regard- 
ing construction  of  the  branch's  new 
building  which  should  be  completed 
by  the  end  of  the  year.  "Public  rela- 
tions is  a  big  part  of  my  job,  too," 
Wayne  said. 

Credit  Union  vs.  Savings  Bank 

As  a  nonprofit  and  tax-exempt 
organization,  the  credit  union's 
mission  is  different  than  a  savings 
bank's  because  its  goal  is  to  build 
profit.  "We  return  the  profits  to  the 
members  in  the  form  of  better 


savings  and  loan  rates  in  addition  to 
free  checking,"  Judy  said. 

In  contrast,  a  savings  bank  pays 
taxes  as  well  as  dividends  to  its  stock 
holders.  It  can  also  retain  a  portion 
of  its  earnings  to  invest  in  future 
growth  of  the  bank,  as  in  building 
new  branches. 

Innovation  is  key  to  remaining 
competitive  in  the  banking  business. 
Cape  Fear  Employees  Credit  Union 
demonstrated  this  when  it  fought  to 
diversify  its  field  of  membership  in 
1985.  "We  were,  if  not  the  first,  one 
of  the  first  credit  unions  in  North 
Carolina  to  diversify,"  Judy  said. 
Originally,  the  first  and  only  sponsor 
company  of  the  credit  union  was 
DuPont  in  Leland,  N.C.  "However, 
DuPont  began  laying  off  employees 
the  first  year  we  opened  and  we  were 
losing  members,  so  we  had  to  look 
for  other  sponsor  companies,"  said 
Judy.  Cape  Fear  Employees  Credit 
Union  now  serves  14  member 
companies. 

"The  board  of  directors  and  I 
went  to  the  N.C.  Board  of  Regula- 
tors for  permission  to  diversify  . . . 
but  we  met  with  some  resistance 
because  the  idea  was  new  to  their 
way  of  thinking,"  said  Judy.  "It  took  a 
few  months  for  our  plan  to  be 
approved,  but  we  prevailed." 

"Diversifying  our  sponsorship 
was  a  matter  of  financial  survival," 
Judy  continued.  "Even  though  we've 
expanded  beyond  serving  one 
company,  the  majority  of  credit 
unions  still  serve  one  individual 
company  which  makes  them  some- 
what vulnerable.  If  something  goes 
wrong  with  the  company,  some- 
thing's probably  going  to  go  wrong 
with  the  credit  union  ...  It  can  be  a 
risky  business.  So  it's  wise  for  credit 
unions  to  broaden  their  operating 
base,  if  possible,"  she  explained. 

First  Investors  knows  the  impor- 
tance of  innovation  as  well.  "Ours 
was  the  first  community  savings  bank 
chartered  in  North  Carolina,"  said 
Wayne.  This  designation,  awarded  in 


April  1992,  gives  the  bank  more  flex- 
ibility in  making  consumer  loans  for 
car  buying  or  home  improvement. 
"Previously  we  were  required  to  com- 
mit 70  percent  of  our  loans  to  mort- 
gages and  30  percent  to  consumer 
loans.  Now  we  can  apply  40  percent 
of  our  loan  money  to  consumer 
loans,"  said  Wayne.  "This  flexibility 
enables  us  to  better  help  our 
community  of  borrowers." 

Knowing  their  Market 

Both  Wayne  and  Judy  agree  that 
the  success  of  any  bank  lies  in  its  abil- 
ity to  react  to  change,  its  ability  to 
network  with  other  institutions,  and 
its  awareness  of  community  needs.  As 
administrators,  they  believe  active 
participation  in  civic  and  profes- 
sional organizations  is  also  important. 

And  they  practice  what  they 
preach.  Wayne  is  busy  building  sup- 
port for  the  beginning  of  the  North 
Brunswick  Chamber  of  Com-merce. 
In  addition,  he's  active  in  his  church, 
Grace  Methodist,  and  is  just  com- 
pleting two  three-year  terms  on  the 
UNCW  Alumni  Association  Board 
ot  Directors.  He  has  also  been  a  mem- 
ber of  Toastmasters,  the  Brunswick 
County  Homebuilders  Association, 
the  South  Brunswick  Board  of  Real- 
tors, and  has  served  as  president  of 
Hope  Harbor  Home,  the  domestic 
\iolence  shelter  in  Brunswick  County. 

Judy,  meanwhile,  is  a  board 
member  of  the  North  Carolina 
Credit  Union  League  and  serves  as 
secretary,  in  addition  to  chairing  the 
league's  Public  Affairs  Committee. 
Last  year,  she  was  one  of  three  credit 
union  professionals  in  the  United 
States  to  receive  the  Credit  Union 
Executives  Society  Management 
Achievement  Award.  Judy  also 
served  six  years  on  the  UNCW 
Alumni  Association  Board. 

The  Tharps  are  dedicated  to 
their  professions,  their  community, 
and  to  their  university  —  you  can 
bank  on  it.

he  new  Seahawk  logo  was  designed  by  Gary  Longordo, 
a  Wilmington  artist  and  a  member  of  the  Seahawk  Club's 
Board  of  Directors.  The  modernized  logo  incorporates 
UNCW's  school  colors:  green,  representing  the  ocean,  and 
gold  for  the  sandy  beaches  that  line  North  Carolina's  coast. 
Navy  blue  has  been  added  to  the  logo  to  distinguish 
UNCW's  colors  from  those  of  conference  rivals  William 
and  Mary  and  James  Madison,  whose  school  colors  are 
yellow  and  green.

Distinguished  Teaching 
Professorships  Awarded 

Chancellor  James  R.  Leutze  pre- 
sented three  distinguished  teaching 
professorships  during  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  at  Wilmington's  first 
convocation  ceremony  in  recent  histo- 
ry, held  Sept.  9. 

They  were  awarded  to  Grace 
Burton,  professor  of  curricular  studies 
in  the  School  of  Education;  Lee 
Johnston,  professor  of  political  science; 
and  Gerald  Shinn,  professor  of  philos- 
ophy and  religion.  All  three  are  previ- 
ous recipients  of  the  UNCW  Board  of 
Trustees  Teaching  Excellence  Award. 

The  professorships,  designed  to 
foster  UNCWs  commitment  to  excel- 
lence in  undergraduate  teaching, 
include  a  $5,000  per  year  stipend  for 
three  years. 

Teaching  Award  Recipient 

Timothy  Ballard,  assistant  profes- 
sor of  biological  sciences,  has  been 
granted  the  Board  of  Trustees  Teaching 
Excellence  Award,  which  includes  a 
cash  prize  of  $1,500.  The  board  based 
its  choice  on  the  recommendation  of 
an  anonymous  committee  made  up  of 
UNCW  faculty  members. 

Best  known  for  his  rigorous,  two- 
semester  anatomy  and  physiology  class, 
Ballard  was  nominated  by  more  than 
70  students. 

Ballard,  who  joined  UNCW  in 
1988,  received  a  bachelor's  degree  from 
Appalachian  State  University  and  a 
doctorate  from  the  Bowman  Gray 
School  of  Medicine  at  Wake  Forest 
University.  He  has  also  worked  in  col- 
laboration with  Cape  Fear  Community 
College  to  provide  the  first  joint  class 
for  students  at  UNCW  and  CFCC,  a 
laboratory  cadaver  course. 

Grant  for  Education 

The  Odyssey  Project,  created  by 
UNCWs  School  of  Education  and 
Gaston  County  Schools,  was  one  of 
1 1  school  reform  plans  chosen  from  a 
pool  of  686  applicants  nationwide  to 


CAMPUS    DIGEST 


receive  funding  by  the  New  American 
School  Development  Corporation. 

Bob  Tyndall,  interim  dean  of  the 
School  of  Education,  was  instrumental 
in  writing  the  grant  application  and 
developing  the  proposal.  Under  the 
plan,  one  elementary,  one  middle  and 
one  high  school  in  Gaston  County 
will  be  restructured  into  five  age 
groups.  Students  will  advance  once 
they  possess  the  knowledge,  skills 
and  attitudes  needed  to  progress  to 
the  next  level. 


N.C.  Living  Treasure 

Master  Gunsmith  John  Braxton 
has  been  chosen  as  the  1992  North 
Carolina  Living  Treasure  by  the 
UNCW  Institute  for  Human  Potential. 

Braxton,  who  is  from  Snow  Camp 
in  Alamance  County,  is  a  self-taught 
machinist  and  ritlesmith  who  is  con- 
sidered a  leading  authority  on  North 
Carolina  Long  Rifles.  His  restorations 
and  replicas  of  early  firearms  can  be 
found  in  many  museums  and  state  and 
federal  parks  across  the  United  States. 

USAir  Tournament 

USAir  will  be  the  top  corporate 
sponsor  for  the  USAir  East  Coast 
Basketball  Classic,  an  NCAA  Division  I 
basketball  tournament  to  be  held  Dec. 
18-19  at  UNCWs  Trask  Coliseum. 

Auburn  will  tip  oft  against 
Louisiana  Tech  at  6  p.m.  Friday  Dec. 


18,  followed  by  UNCW  vs.  Alabama 
State  at  8  p.m.  The  championship 
game  will  be  decided  at  8  p.m. 
Saturday  Dec.  19,  preceded  by  a 
consolation  match  at  6  p.m. 
Tournament  tickets  are  $20. 

Greek  Life  Coordinator 

Robert  Smith  has  been  named 
new  Greek  life  coordinator.  Smith 
came  to  UNCW  from  DePauw 
University,  where  he  was  the  assistant 
dean  of  students. 

UNCWs  First  Patent 

A  streamlined  bacteria  test  creat- 
ed by  UNCWs  biology  department 
was  awarded  the  university's  first 
patent  in  August,  No.  5,137,810. 

Dr.  Ronald  Sizemore  and  Jerra 
Caldwell,  '86,  invented  the  test  while 
Caldwell  was  working  on  a  marine 
biology  project  as  an  undergraduate. 
Ann  Kendrick,  assistant  professor  of 
biology,  spent  a  year  independently 
verifying  their  results. 

The  new  process  could  replace 
the  conventional  gram  stain  for 
bacteria,  a  test  used  routinely  by 
hospitals  to  diagnose  and  treat  bac- 
terial infections. 

The  test,  which  uses  a  product  of 
wheat  germ,  is  easier  to  perform  than 
the  traditional  gram  test  and  produces 
results  that  are  easier  to  read,  giving  it 
a  high  market  potential. 

Schiveitzer  Prizes 

The  1993  Albert  Schweitzer 
International  Prizes  will  be  awarded 
the  week  of  March  14  at  UNCW. 
Every  four  years,  the  Schweitzer  prizes 
are  granted  to  individuals  worldwide 
who  reflect  Schweitzer's  philosophy  of 
"reverence  for  life."  Prizes  are  awarded 
in  the  areas  of  medicine,  humanities 
and  music,  die  three  areas  in  which 
Schweitzer  excelled. 

Winners  are  chosen  by  a  secret 
committee  from  the  nominations  of  an 
international  nominating  council.

CW    CHANCELLOR     HOSTS    A    FAR-REACHING    TELEVISION    SERIES 


THE  MAKING 
OF  GLOBE  WATCH 


Globe  Watch  host  Chancellor  ]ames  Leutze  in  the  square  of  Madrid's  royal  palac 


It's  a  job  we'd  all  like  to  have. 
You  get  to  meet  exciting  and  influen- 
tial people  and  visit  places  most  peo- 
ple only  dream  of  seeing. 

Besides  being  the  chancellor 
of  the  University  of  North  Carolina 
at  Wilmington,  Jim  Leutze  is  the  host 
and  co-producer  of  Globe  Watch, 
a  television  series  produced  for  the 
past  nine  years  by  the  UNC  Center 
for  Public  Television.  In  roughly 
eight  half-hour  episodes  each  year, 
Leutze  and  Globe  Watch  travel  to 
countries  all  over  the  world,  uncov- 
ering their  histories  firsthand  and 
taking  a  close  look  at  the  issues  they 
face  in  today's  world. 

Globe  Watch  started  as  a  studio- 
based  show.  In  its  fourth  season, 
Globe  Watch  ventured  out  of  the 
country  to  our  closest  neighbors, 
Canada  and  Mexico.  Since  then, 


Leutze  and  producer  Maurice  Talbot 
have  journeyed  as  far  as  the  former 
Soviet  Union  and  Eastern  Europe 
and  to  our  neighbors  close  by  in  the 
Caribbean.  In  the  series  set  to  air 
next  spring,  Globe  Watch  visits  the 
Asian  Pacific  Rim  to  study  Singapore, 
Indonesia  and  Malaysia. 

For  Leutze,  putting  together  a 
series  of  Globe  Watch  episodes 
involves  much  more  than  standing  in 
front  of  historic  buildings  and  reading 
a  script.  Leutze  is  involved  in  every 
step  of  the  process,  starting  with  the 
most  important  decision:  where  to  go. 

Choosing  locations  for  Globe 
Watch  is  a  full-time  job.  "I'm  always 
looking  for  ideas,  things  that  I  might 
be  able  to  apply  to  Globe  Watch,"  said 
Leutze.  "It's  always  a  bit  ot  a  chal- 
lenge to  guess,  when  we  start  produc- 
ing a  series  in  one  summer,  what  peo- 


ple will  be  thinking  about  when  the 
show  airs  nine  months  later." 

Leutze  and  Globe  Watch's  execu- 
tive director,  Richard  Hatch,  use 
brainstorming  sessions  to  choose  the 
countries  they  will  visit  and  the  sub- 
jects they  want  to  cover.  They  turn 
their  work  over  to  the  show's  writer, 
who  fleshes  out  their  ideas. 

Meanwhile,  Talbot  makes 
arrangements  for  travel,  lodging  and 
funding.  Because  the  show  is  on 
a  tight  budget  (most  of  its  financial 
support  comes  from  N.C.  Public  TV 
viewer  contributions)  Globe  Watch 
relies  on  in-kind  support  to  make  its 
trips  possible.  Airlines,  hotels  and 
other  travel  services  provide  free 
accommodations  to  Globe  Watch  in 
exchange  for  acknowledgment  at 
the  end  of  the  program. 

Talbot  sets  up  interviews  and 


U  NC  W 


UNCW 


sites  to  visit 
before  leaving 
the  United 
States,  and 
everyone  hopes 
things  go 
according  to 
plan  once  they 
arrive.  Unfortu- 
nately, that 
doesn't  always 
happen. 

Combine  a 
tight  shooting 
schedule,  a  tight 
budget  and  the 
cultural  differ- 
ences encoun- 
tered in  other 
countries,  and 
Globe  Watch 
becomes  quite 
an  undertaking. 

When  the 
team  traveled  to 
Trinidad  several 

years  ago,  the  government  allowed 
them  come  into  the  country,  but 
once  they  were  there,  refused  to  let 
them  film. 

Cultural  differences  can  also 
throw  a  monkey  wrench  into  sched- 
ules. "When  we  got  to  Greece,  we 
found  that  because  of  their  polite- 
ness, they  told  us  everything  would 
be  fine,"  Leutze  said.  "But  when  we 
arrived,  we  found  out  that  none  of 
the  interviews  we  had  been  counting 
on  had  been  set  up." 

But  in  other  countries,  perhaps 
the  ones  the  producers  don't  expect 
to  be  problem  free,  things  go  surpris- 
ingly well.  For  example,  Globe  Watch 
had  no  problems  filming  in  Soviet- 
controlled  Estonia  in  1991. 

"Some  countries,  even  if  they  are 
trying  to  help,  aren't  very  efficient, 
and  some  are,"  Leutze  said.  Despite 
the  obstacles,  somehow  the  team 
always  gets  what  it  needs  to  put 
shows  together. 

Although  the  subject  matter  for 
each  show  is  laid  out  before  the  Globe 
Watch  team  arrives  in  a  country, 


]im  Leutze  prepares  to  narrate  a  segment  of  his  Globe  Watch  series. 


Leutze  frequently  rewrites  much  or  all 
of  his  scripts  on  location. 

Several  times  the  team  has  had 
to  almost  start  over  on  the  produc- 
tion of  a  series  when  an  important 
news  event  outdated  the  subject  mat- 
ter of  a  show  or  series  of  shows  before 
they  were  aired. 

In  recent  years,  Globe  Watch  has 
been  on  hand  for  some  of  the  world's 
biggest  stories.  When  the  crew  visited 
Estonia  in  May  1991,  "we  thought  we 
were  going  to  do  the  program  on  the 
independence  movement  in  Estonia," 
Leutze  said.  "Then  the  Soviet  coup 
happened  on  the  19th  of  August." 
The  pace  of  events  meant  the  Globe 
Watch  crew  had  to  pack  up  and  go 
back  to  Estonia,  this  time  to  cover 
the  coup's  effects  on  the  country. 

When  the  crew  traveled  to 
Berlin  in  1989,  there  was  little  talk 
of  German  unity.  "We  had  barely 
gotten  off  the  plane  in  the  U.S. 
and  the  Berlin  wall  had  fallen," 
Leutze  said.  "We  went  back  and 
chipped  out  a  chunk  of  the  wall  for 
ourselves." 


Weeks 
spent  filming 
the  show  are 
tilled  with 
12-  to  14-hour 
work  days, 
usually  with 
no  days  off. 
"We  have 
filmed  in 
front  of  many 
historic  build- 
ings and  have 
never  been 
inside  them," 
Leutze  said. 

In  total, 
Leutze 

spends  about 
two  weeks  in 
each  country 
Globe  Watch 
spotlights. 
The 
crew 
stays  a  few 
weeks  longer  to  film  the  background 
scenes  shown  during  Leutze's  narration. 
When  the  near-finished  versions 
of  the  series  have  been  put  together, 
Leutze  records  his  background  narra- 
tion and  then  sits  in  on  the  show's 
final  editing.  All  together,  it  takes 
nearly  a  year  from  the  time  the  film- 
ing begins  tintil  the  show  actually  airs. 

Globe  Watch  is  available  by  satel- 
lite feed  to  all  public  television  sta- 
tions in  the  United  States,  about  halt 
ot  which  air  it.  Tapes  of  the  show, 
accompanied  by  teaching  guides,  are 
also  distributed  to  public  schools  in 
North  Carolina  and  are  available  to 
out-of-state  teachers. 

A  recent  agreement  will  allow 
viewers  from  all  over  the  world  to 
see  Globe  Watch.  TVOntario,  one  ot 
the  world's  largest  television  distribu- 
tors, began  distributing  copies  of 
Globe  Watch  (in  English  and  French 
dubbed  versions)  last  spring. 

"So  no  matter  where  you  are  in 
the  world  next  spring,"  Leutze  said, 
"you  just  might  be  able  to  tune  in  to 
Globe  Watch"

ALUMNI    PROFILE 


FALL   92 


Considering  the  accomplish- 
ments of  Katherine  Bell  Moore,  it's 
not  surprising  that  the  '73  UNCW 
grad  was  a  non-traditional  student. 

Very  non-traditional. 

Honored  as  one  ot  five  Women 
of  Enterprise  in  the  nation  in  1990  by 
the  Small  Business  Administration 
and  Avon,  Moore's  story  has  been  told 
in  Good  Housekeeping.  She's  appeared 
on  Good  Morning  America  and  Sally 
]essy  Raphael.  Most  recently,  she  was 
one  of  50  business  success  stories  fea- 
tured in  the  June  issue  of  Entrepreneur. 

But  when  Moore  graduated  from 
Wilmington's  Williston  High  School 
in  1959,  Wilmington  College  had 
not  yet  been  integrated.  So  she  com- 
pleted a  two-year  teaching  degree  at 
Norfolk  State  College  in  Norfolk, 
Va.,  where  she  married  and  had  a 
son,  Ira,  now  30. 

She  longed  to  return  home, 
though.  "When  I  saw  an  opportunity 
to  come  back  to  Wilmington  and  fin- 
ish college,  that's  what  I  did,"  she 
said.  "I've  never  wanted  to  live  any- 
where else." 

Wilmington  College  had  estab- 
lished an  open-door  policy  toward 
black  students  in  the  fall  of  1962,  but 
when  Moore  entered  UNCW  as  a 
part-time  student  in  the  late  1960s, 
she  was  virtually  alone.  "I  don't 


remember  a  single  black  student  on 
that  campus,"  she  said.  "I  was  there  in 
a  sea  of  white  faces,  really,  trying  to 
find  my  way." 

Luckily,  she  ran  into  little  overt 
hostility.  Mary  Davis,  who  worked  in 
the  office  of  Dean  of  Students  J. 
Marshall  Crews,  helped  smooth  the 
way  for  her.  Moore,  who  majored  in 
English  with  an  emphasis  on  drama 
and  speech,  counts  drama  professor 
Terry  Rogers,  English  professor  James 
Collier  and  the  late  speech  communi- 
cation professor  Betty  Jo  Welch 
among  her  favorite  teachers. 

At  UNCW,  Moore  learned 
important  lessons  in  both  written  and 
spoken  communication  —  crucial 
skills  in  teaching,  business  and  civic 
leadership.  She  had  been  teaching 
full  time  for  a  dozen  years  when  her 
second  husband  asked  her  to  help 
him  with  a  combined  moving  and 
delivery  service  in  the  late  1970s. 

It  soon  became  apparent  that 
Moore's  husband  wasn't  practical. 
He  charged  only  $500,  for  instance, 
to  move  an  entire  hardware  store  on 
short  notice.  When  the  marriage 
broke  up,  what  is  now  Eastern 
Delivery  Service  was  $80,000  in  debt 
and  Moore  had  an  18-month-old  baby 
and  15 -year-old  son  to  care  for. 

Moore  likes  to  say  she  solved 


A  WOMAN  OF  ACHIEVEMENT 


I 


Kathe 


:  Moore  '73  turned  obstacles  into  opportunities  on  her  path  to  entrepreneurial  success. 


several  problems  at  once  by  plunging 
into  the  business  head  first.  She 
solved  her  child  care  problem  by 
bringing  Leelee,  now  15,  to  work  with 
her,  and  her  debt  problem  by  making 
the  business  turn  a  profit. 

She  decided  to  drop  the  moving 
end  of  the  business  and  specialize  in 
courier  deliveries.  And  she  got  lucky:  a 
similar  business  in  the  area  closed  down 
just  when  she  was  starting  up.  "They 
were  so  generous,"  she  said.  "They 
called  me  and  gave  me  their  customer 
list.  So  I  had  a  real  shot  in  the  arm  as 
to  where  to  look  for  business." 

The  service  fills  a  niche  in  the 
delivery  market  not  met  by  overnight 
couriers.  Using  her  service  "is  like 
hiring  a  taxicab  to  carry  a  parcel  door 
to  door,"  Moore  said. 

Understandably,  costs  reflect 
that.  A  delivery  run  to  Raleigh  from 
Wilmington,  for  instance,  will  cost 
more  than  $  1 00.  Even  when  people 
hear  her  price  tor  a  delivery,  "you'd 
be  surprised  at  how  often  we  get  the 
job,"  she  said.  "They'll  scream  bloody 
murder,  but  they'll  take  it." 

In  an  emergency,  costs  can  be 
relative.  "When  a  whole  shift  will  be 
standing  idle  for  want  of  a  part, 
they'll  say,  'I  didn't  ask  you  how 
much  it  cost,  just  go  get  it,' "  she  said. 
"No  two  days  are  ever  alike  in  here. 
There  are  times  when  you  wish  you 
knew  what  to  expect  when  you  come 
to  work.  But  it's  never  boring." 

It  has  been  years  since  Moore  has 
made  a  delivery  personally.  Now  16  years 
old,  the  business  is  well  established; 
annual  sales  were  $800,000  in  1991. 

Moore  was  appointed  to  the 
Wilmington  City  Council  in  June 
1991,  elected  later  the  same  year  and 
named  Mayor  pro  tern  in  July.  Even  so, 
she  considers  her  selection  as  one  ot 
five  Women  of  Enterprise  as  her  most 
significant  honor.  "These  are  women 
who  are  successful  entrepreneurs  and 
who  have  succeeded  against  tar  greater 
odds,"  said  Moore,  who  counts  herself 
the  least  of  the  five.  "Those  women 
were  unbelievable."

winning  a  scholarship  that  his  par- 
ents had  to  cajol  him  out  of  wearing 
an  old  sweatshirt  to  the  school's  year- 
end  awards  ceremony. 

Now  a  first-year  football  coach 
and  health  teacher  at  Laney  High 
School,  Hardy  was  astonished  when 
he  received  the  Eddie  Godwin  III 
Scholarship,  which  paid  his  tuition 
and  fees  to  the  University  of  North 
Carolina  at  Wilmington. 

"1  was  an  average  student,"  said 
Hardy,  a  December  '91  UNCW  grad- 
uate. "I  thought  I'd  get  a  football 
scholarship  before  I  got  something 
like  that." 

At  UNCW,  scholarships  come 
in  all  shapes  and  sizes.  Some  are 
designed  to  attract  exceptional  schol- 
ars who  might  not  otherwise  come  to 
UNCW;  others  focus  on  future  pro- 
fessional specialties,  like  teaching  or 


business.  While  about  a  third  of  all 
scholarships  come  from  corporate 
donors,  the  majority  come  from  indi- 
viduals or  groups  of  individuals. 

"By  far  and  away,  most  of  our 
scholarships  are  need  based,"  said  Ty 
Rowell,  associate  vice  chancellor  for 
University  Advancement.  "A  critical 
need  is  for  more  merit  scholarships. 
We  need  to  be  able  to  seek  out  and 
recruit  the  best  academic  students  we 
can  convince  to  come  here  and  study." 

Rowell  reasons  that  good  students 
enhance  the  university  experience  for 
everyone.  "You  reach  out  and  influence 
people  if  you're  a  strong  person.  If 
you're  a  positive  role  model,  you  influ- 
ence in  a  positive  way." 

About  740  scholarships  were 
awarded  to  UNCW  students  during 
the  1990-91  academic  year  —  most  to 
students  who  merited  a  scholarship 
based  on  a  combination  of  academic 
excellence  and  financial  need,  said 
Joe  Capell,  director  of  financial  aid. 


But  there  are  merit-based  pro- 
grams as  well.  Since  1986,  UNCW's 
Office  of  Admissions  has  awarded 
25  scholarships  annually  to  minority 
students  from  North  Carolina 
through  its  Minority  Achievements 
Awards.  Every  minority  applicant 
who  applies  to  UNCW  is  considered 
for  the  award. 

For  some  students,  it  means  the 
difference  between  choosing  UNCW 
and  another  school.  "Many  of  our 
award  winners  tell  us  that  the  award 
was  the  deciding  factor,"  said  Diane 
Zeeman,  director  of  admissions. 

The  award  recipients  have  also 
provided  an  unexpected  fringe  bene- 
fit for  the  university:  "They  go  back 
to  their  hometowns  and  talk  it  up 
to  their  friends,  and  so  they  become 
sort  of  a  walking  advertisement  for 
UNCW  and  the  scholarship," 
Zeeman  said. 

That  ripple  effect  has  not  gone 
unnoticed  by  university  officials,  who

want  to  beef  up  the  institution's 
merit  scholarship  base.  As  the  only 
public  university  in  Southeastern 
North  Carolina,  UNCW  has  a  spe- 
cial mission  to  serve  the  surrounding 
region,  said  Margaret  Robison,  direc- 
tor of  development  for  University 
Advancement.  Without  the  incen- 
tive of  scholarships,  the  best  and 
brightest  students  may  leave  the  area 
for  college — perhaps  never  to  return. 

Additional  scholarships  would 
give  more  students  an  incentive  to 
remain.  "If  you  can  educate  people 
here  at  home,  they're  more  likely  to 
stay  here,"  Robison  said. 

It  costs  about  $15,000  to  endow 
a  basic  scholarship,  enough  for  an 
academic  year's  tuition  and  fees  year 
after  year.  It's  a  substantial  gift  for  a 
significant  purpose.  "If  there's  some- 
one you  want  to  honor  in  your  fami- 
ly, that's  something  that  will  be  here    ■ 
forever,"  Robison  said. 

When  Eddie  Godwin  III  died 
unexpectedly  of  a  heart  attack  in 
1986,  more  than  100  individuals, 
businesses  and  organizations  helped 
create  an  endowment  in  memory  of 
the  man  who  had  given  so  much  to 
the  Wilmington  community.  Godwin 
managed  the  Babe  Ruth  youth  base- 
ball program  for  years,  carrying  on  the 
tradition  of  his  father,  Eddie  Godwin, 
Jr.,  for  whom  Wilmington's  Godwin 
Field  is  named. 

The  Godwin  endowment  is 
unusual  in  that  it  doesn't  fall  into 
any  of  the  typical  scholarship  cate- 
gories. The  ideal  recipient  has 
decent  grades,  has  been  active  in 
extracurricular  activities  and  has  par- 
ticipated in  high  school  athletics — 
but  not  necessarily  as  a  star  athlete. 
The  award  is  earmarked  for  graduates 
ot  New  Hanover  High  School, 
Eddie's  alma  mater. 

Hardy,  whose  scholarship  was 
renewed  for  each  of  the  four  years  he 
attended  UNCW,  fit  the  bill.  Hardy 
played  baseball,  basketball  and  foot- 
ball in  middle  school  and  football  in 
high  school,  but  he  says  teaching  and 
coaching  are  more  fun.  "There's 
never  a  dull  moment,"  he  said. 
"That's  what  people  should  look  tor 


in  a  career  —  something  new  every 
day.  And  education  is  definitely 
that." 

For  some,  a  scholarship  can 
mean  the  difference  between  com- 
pleting an  education  and  dropping 
out  of  school.  Lavonne  Adams,  who 
graduated  from  UNCW  in  May,  was 
in  the  middle  of  a  divorce  that  would 
leave  her  without  the  money  she 
needed  to  complete  her  master's 
degree  in  creative  writing  when  she 
learned  she  had  won  the  B.D.  and 
Sylvia  Schwartz  Graduate  Fellowship. 
Chosen  by  a  committee  of  three 
nominators,  the  fellowship  paid 
tuition  and  fees  for  her  last  year  of 
school.  "For  me,  it  meant  the  differ- 


B.D.  and  Sylvia  Schwartz 

ence  between  staying  in  school  and 
not  staying  in  school,"  said  the  mother 
of  three,  who  plans  to  teach  and  write. 

The  Schwartz  fellowship  was 
the  first  scholarship  specifically  ear- 
marked for  graduate  students.  "We 
looked  around  and  UNCW  didn't 
have  one,"  said  B.D.  Schwartz,  a 
former  state  senator  and  a  member  of 
the  boards  of  trustees  of  both 
Wilmington  College  and  UNCW, 
where  he  served  as  chairman.  "We 
just  thought  if  we  started  a  precedent, 
people  would  follow." 

Winning  the  fellowship  certainly 
caught  the  attention  of  Adams,  who 
hopes  someday  to  have  the  money  to 
endow  a  scholarship  herself.  "It's  like 
giving  someone  a  new  life,"  she  said. 

Occasionally  a  scholarship  goes 
begging  for  lack  of  a  candidate.  The 
R&.E  Electronics  Scholarship  was  cre- 
ated about  10  years  ago  to  award 
$1,000  annually  to  a  local  minority 
candidate  majoring  in  pre-engineering. 

Even  with  the  incentive  the 
R&E  Scholarship  afforded,  candi- 


dates were  hard  to  find.  Broadening 
the  choice  of  majors  to  include  other 
technical  fields  has  helped  some,  but 
potential  recipients  unaware  of  the 
R&E  scholarship  may  have  been  lost 
to  other  schools  —  or  to  a  university 
education  in  general. 

"I  think  awareness  probably  was 
one  of  the  areas  that  wasn't  addressed  in 
the  past,"  said  Ed  Mayorga,  president  of 
RckE  Electronics.  "Since  Dr.  Leutze 
came  on  board,  I  sense  a  new  focus." 

That  focus  includes  making  the 
best  use  of  the  scholarship  resources 
available.  "I  think  it's  important  for 
UNCW  to  concentrate  on  attracting 
qualified  minority  students,"  said 
Mayorga.  "And  the  scholarship  is  giv- 
ing those  individuals  the  opportunity 
to  succeed." 

The  contributions  of  a  small 
group  of  former  teachers  is  proof  that 
you  don't  have  to  be  rich  or  famous 
to  endow  a  scholarship — just  persis- 
tent. In  1981,  members  of  the  Beta 
Phi  chapter  ot  Delta  Kappa  Gamma, 
an  honorary  society  for  women  edu- 
cators, made  an  initial  gift  of  $3,000 
toward  a  scholarship  that  would  be 
given  annually  to  a  financially  needy 
woman  in  her  junior  or  senior  year 
who  planned  to  become  a  teacher. 

Each  year  since,  the  chapter  has 
kicked  several  hundred  more  dollars 
into  the  kitty,  working  toward  an  even- 
tual goal  of  $10,000 — enough  to  endow 
an  annual  scholarship  indefinitely. 

The  scholarship  fund  represents 
"a  lot  of  $30-a-month-type  investments 
from  the  whole  group,"  said  Beta  Phi 
chapter  treasurer  Jan  Cagle.  "We're 
really  excited  about  it  from  the  stand- 
point that  we're  almost  ready  to  give 
someone  the  (first  scholarship)." 

The  decline  in  interest  rates  in 
recent  years  means  the  Beta  Phi  chap- 
ter's scholarship  won't  cover  the  full 
cost  of  a  year's  tuition  and  fees —  but  it 
will  probably  be  enough  to  fund  a  $500 
award  annually.  "Hopefully,  we  could 
use  the  scholarship  to  encourage  some- 
one who  really  wants  to  teach,  but  tor 
whom  the  financial  part  of  it  is 
difficult,"  Cagle  said.  "People  shouldn't 
think  they  can't  go  to  college  because 
of  money.  The  money  is  there."

THE  ROPES 

Challenges  in  line  at  UNCW's  new  Leadership  Center 


Story  by  Carolyn  Busse 
Photos  by  Lee  Pridgen 


Cathy  Bryson  stood  backwards 
on  the  edge  of  the  platform  with  her 
eyes  closed.  "Just  do  it,"  she  told  her- 
self. After  all,  she  was  only  falling  a 
few  feet. 

Sixteen  of  her  co-workers  stood 
below  her,  facing  each  other  in  two 
rows  of  outstretched  arms, 
looking  something  like  a 
human  zipper. 

Did  she  trust  those 
people  enough  to  believe 
they  would  catch  her,  keep 
her  from  falling  all  the  way 
to  the  floor  of  the  pine  for- 
est? She  did. 

It  was  a  moment  Bryson 
probably  won't  soon  forget. 

"It  feels  like  you're 
tailing  forever,"  she  said. 
"It's  exciting  and  scary  at 
the  same  time." 

Bryson  had  just  com- 
pleted the  "trust  fall,"  one 
of  16  elements  of  UNCW's 
new  jungle  gym,  the  chal- 
lenge course.  Nestled  on 
five  acres  of  tall  pine  forest 
on  the  north  side  of  cam- 
pus, the  course  challenges 
its  users  to  work  through 
progressively  difficult 
obstacles,  similar  to  those 
you  might  encounter 
while  hiking  or  mountain 
climbing. 

Completed  just  this 
spring,  the  course  is  just 


one  element  of  the  UNCW 
Leadership  Center,  whose  programs, 
as  its  name  suggests,  are  designed  to 
turn  UNCW  students  into  tomor- 
row's leaders.  "When  universities 
were  first  created,  the  idea  was  to 
educate  leaders,"  said  Cathy 


UNCW  student  Cathy  Bryson  swings  from  one  low  platform

to  another  on 


Birmingham,  the  center's  director. 
"Over  the  years  they  have  become 
so  specialized  that  they  can  no  longer 
focus  on  that  goal." 

The  only  one  of  its  kind  at  a 
North  Carolina  university,  the  center 
is  a  pioneer  in  leadership  develop- 
ment for  students  of  all 
majors. 

The  center's  "outdoor" 
branch  focuses  on  hands-on 
experience  in  an  outdoor 
setting,  which  has  the 
potential  to  have  a  greater 
impact  on  students  than  a 
classroom  lecture.  "People 
learn  leadership  by  doing," 
said  Birmingham.  "The  con- 
sequences of  poor  leadership 
are  immediate  if  you're  cold, 
wet  and  hungry." 

Besides  offering  rentals 
of  outdoor  equipment  to 
students  who  want  to  ven- 
ture out  on  their  own,  the 
center  offers  hiking,  canoe- 
ing, rock  climbing  trips  and 
day  excursions  to  the  chal- 
lenge course. 

The  course  is  made  up 
of  a  series  of  "high"  and 
"low"  elements  and  is  loose- 
ly modeled  after  a  military 
obstacle  course.  Unlike  the 
physical  demand  of  military 
courses,  challenge  courses, 
first  built  in  the  1960s, 
focus  on  the  mind.

"Most  of  the  challenge  is  up  in 
your  head,"  said  Brock  Snyder,  '90, 
program  coordinator  for  the 
Leadership  Center.  "The  goal  is  to 
help  people  become  better  problem 
solvers,  develop  leadership  skills 
and  be  better  team  members." 

Today's  courses,  like  the  one  at 
UNCW,  are  designed  to  be  used  by 
groups  ranging  in  size  from  10  to  18 
people.  Groups  spend  a  day  moving 
through  16  elements,  beginning  with 
simple,  low-to-the-ground  obstacles 
and  then  working  up  to  the  tougher, 
high-altitude  elements.  When  not 
participating  directly,  group  members 
watch  and  spot  each  other. 

Birmingham,  Snyder  and  a  num- 
ber of  trained  students  have  guided 
numerous  groups  through  the  course's 
challenges  since  its  completion.  A 
typical  day  on  the  course  begins  with 
low  elements  and  simple  warmup 
games  such  as  "All  Aboard,"  which 
challenges  everyone  to  stand  on  a 
platform  that  measures  no  more 
than  2  1/2  feet  square. 

Other  low  elements  are  built 
into  the  trees.  There  is  a  series  of 
low-to-the-ground  wires  strung 
between  the  trees  for  teams  of  two  to 


walk  across.  They  stand  facing  each 
other  holding  hands  and  walk  side- 
ways. The  further  they  walk,  the  far- 
ther apart  the  wires  become.  The 
challenge  is  to  see  how  far  they  can 
go  without  falling  flat  on  their  faces. 
And  there's  a  10-  by  6-foot  "spider" 
web  to  climb  through  before  its 
openings  close. 

The  high  course  is  centered 
around  a  platform  users  get  to  by 
maneuvering  their  way  up  a  steep 
climbing  wall.  Extending  out  in  all 
directions  from  the  platform  is  a 
series  of  cables,  ropes  and  wooden 
beams  that  reach  out  into  the  sur- 
rounding pines.  Because  the  high 
course  is  35  feet  off  the  ground, 
safety  is  a  top  priority.  Everyone  is 
securely  harnessed  to  the  course 
with  a  belay  system,  a  series  of  ropes 
and  pulleys. 

High  elements  include  a  rappel 
station  to  maneuver  down  and  a  high 
balance  beam.  For  the  bravest  mem- 
bers of  the  group,  there's  the  "Burma 
Bridge,"  a  high  wire  to  walk  across 
with  only  two  loosely  strung  ropes  to 
hold  on  to.  The  "heebie-jeebie," 
another  high  wire,  challenges  group 
members  to  walk  sideways  with  just 


one  loose  rope  in  front  of  them. 

When  the  team  members  finish 
all  the  obstacles,  they  are  each  har- 
nessed to  a  huge  pulley  and  leave  the 
course  by  gliding  through  the  trees 
on  the  "zip  line." 

Off  the  course,  the  Leadership 
Center's  original  two-semester  class, 
Emerge,  helps  students  develop  their 
self  confidence  and  gives  them  a  sup- 
port network  that  lets  them  branch 
out  into  other  parts  of  the  university 
and  the  community.  During  the 
group's  weekly  meetings,  students 
study  personal  development  and 
group  and  leadership  skills  with 
guest  speakers  from  various  areas  of 
the  university. 

UNCW  Volunteers!,  another 
outreach  of  the  center,  places 
UNCW  students  in  volunteer  posi- 
tions in  a  variety  of  agencies  through- 
out New  Hanover  County. 

Last  year,  student  volunteers 
tutored  more  than  300  children  in  a 
local  dropout  prevention  program, 
and  it  is  estimated  that  the  dropout 
rate  in  the  county  decreased  by  1  per- 
cent due  to  their  efforts. 

"We  try  to  give  students  a 
good  volunteer  experience  now, 
so  they'll  continue  to  volunteer 
when  they  leave  UNCW,"  said 
Birmingham. 

Whether  inside  or  out,  the 
Leadership  Center  is  turning  out  suc- 
cessful students:  this  year's  Student 
Government  Association  president, 
Joe  Mitchell,  and  vice  president, 
Ziggy  Nix,  are  both  graduates  of  the 
center's  Emerge  program.

A       GREAT       LADY 

Wise  House 

REVEALS        HER        PAST 


Owned  by  the  University  of  North  Carolina  at 

Wilmington  for  more  than  20  years ,  the  Jessie  Kenan 

Wise  House  has  a  storied  history. 


by  Mary  Ellen  Poison 

Lawrence  Lewis,  Jr.  remem- 
bers the  Christmas  Day  the  Kenan 
clan  gathered  to  watch  him  fire  his 
brand-new  .410  shotgun  off  Miss 
Jessie's  front  porch. 

"Actually,  my  Uncle  William 
Kenan,  Jr.  wanted  to  see  me  shoot 
it,"  said  Lewis,  then  a  boy  of  about 
1 1.  It  was  a  family  tradition  to 
gather  at  the  Market  Street  homes 
of  Jessie  Kenan  Wise  and  her  sis- 
ter, Sarah  Graham  Kenan,  for  the 
holidays.  "I  was  beside  myself 
wanting  to  shoot  my  new  gun  and 
my  grandmother  was  beside  herself 
trying  to  get  us  to  the  Christmas 
dinner  table,"  Lewis  recalled.  "She 
finally  said,  'Oh  William,  take  him 
out  on  the  porch  and  let  him 
shoot  it.'" 

While  his  Uncle  William 
smiled  and  his  Grandmother  Wise 
covered  her  ears,  Lewis  fired  the 
gun  off  the  porch  of  Wise  House  at 
1713  Market  Street. 

The  volley  stopped  traffic. 

More  than  50  years  later, 
UNCW's  Wise  House,  with  its  soar- 
ing Ionic  columns  and  Neoclassical 
Revival  flare,  is  still  capable  of  stop- 
ping traffic. 

Designed  by  renowned  architect 
Burett  H.  Stephens,  the  house  was 
built  by  Delgado  Cotton  Mills 


]essie  Kenan  Wise 


President  Edwin  C.  Holt  and  his  wife, 
Delores,  in  1908-09.  A  1911  photo- 
graph of  the  mansion  shows  only  a 
few  spindly  trees  in  the  front  yard; 
the  massive  brick  wall  enclosing  the 
property  had  not  yet  been  built. 
When  Jessie  Hargrave  Kenan 


Wise  House  as  it  appears  today. 

Wise  bought  the  house  from  the 
Holts  in  1916,  she  was  in  her  mid- 
forties.  Although  she  had  other 
homes  in  Wrightsville  Beach  and 
|  Blowing  Rock  and  frequently  trav- 
J  eled,  Wise  House  would  be  her  pri- 
y  mary  residence  for  more  than  50 
JL  years. 

Small  in  stature — she  had  to 
=  stand  on  tiptoe  to  reach  the 
f  kitchen  wall  telephone — but 
°:.  indomitable  in  character,  "Miss 
g  Jessie,"  as  she  was  called,  was  one  of 
-S  four  children  of  William  Rand 
|  Kenan  of  Kenansville  and  Mary 
|  Hargrave  of  Chapel  Hill.  The  oth- 
8  ers  were  William,  Jr.,  who  discov- 
e  ered  the  commercial  process  for 
^  making  carbide  and  acetylene  gas 
I  that  led  to  the  founding  of  Union 
|  Carbide;  Sarah,  who  married  her 

cousin,  Graham  Kenan;  and  Mary 
Lily,  who  married  Henry  M.  Flagler 
and  died  when  she  was  only  5 1 . 

Mrs.  Wise  loved  to  entertain  and 
was  the  most  outgoing  of  the  three 
surviving  Kenan  siblings,  said 
Thomas  Kenan  III,  whose  grandfa- 
ther was  Mrs.  Wise's  first  cousin.  "She 
was  a  wonderful  hostess,"  Kenan  said.

"I  can  remember 
having  lunch  with  her. 
She  loved  shad  roe  and 

bacon  on  toast." 

-  Thomas  Kenan  III 


"I  can  remember  having 
lunch  with  her,  and  she 
loved  to  have  shad  roe  and 
bacon  on  toast." 

Even  though  she  was 
an  heiress,  Mrs.  Wise  was 
not  above  mending  her 
own  table  linen  and  bed 
sheets.  "She  would  darn  my 
socks,"  Lewis  said.  "And  she 
did  exquisite  petit  point." 

For  many  years,  Mrs. 
Wise  lived  two  doors  down 
from  Kenan  House,  Sarah 
Graham  Kenan's  home  at  1 705 
Market  Street,  now  the  UNCW 
chancellor's  residence.  Thomas  W. 
Davis,  general  solicitor  for  the 
Atlantic  Coast  Line  Railroad,  lived 
in  the  house  between  the  two  sisters. 

The  house  has  since  been  torn 
down,  but  at  the  time  poor  Mr.  Davis 
was  the  butt  of  a  standing  joke.  "Each 
of  the  sisters  had  a  brick  wall  around 
their  homes,"  Lewis  said.  "And  they 
called  the  neighbor  between  them 
'Walled  Off  Davis." 

While  Mrs.  Wise's  house  was  not 
as  large  as  Kenan  House,  it  was  built 


Louise  Wise  Lewis  and  young  Lawrence  Lewis ,  Jr. 

in  the  same  era  and  on  a  grand  scale. 
Such  a  huge  house  required  a  sub- 
stantial staff.  The  chauffeur,  Levi 
Daniels,  had  been  a  stable  boy  when 
Mrs.  Wise  ordered  a  Pierce  Arrow 
from  the  factory  in  Buffalo,  N.Y. 
Daniels,  then  about  17,  "was  sent  to 


FALL  92 

the  factory  to  learn  how  to  drive," 
Lewis  said.  "And  he  brought  the  car 
back  to  Wilmington." 

But  it  was  the  cook,  Anna 
Borden,  who  ruled  the  roost  at  Wise 
House.  Borden's  parents  had  been 
slaves  and  later  house  servants  at 
Liberty  Hall,  the  Kenan  family  home 
in  Kenansville.  For  years,  she  was  the 
only  servant  to  live  on  the  Wise 
House  property,  in  the  carriage  house 
behind  the  mansion. 

"She  made  beaten  biscuits  every 
single  morning,"  Lewis  said.  Using  a 
baseball  bat  to  pound  the  dough, 
"she'd  roll  it  up  into  a  ball  and  pound 
it  till  it  was  flat.  Then  she'd  roll  it  up 
into  a  ball  and  beat  it  again." 

Along  with  the  beaten  biscuits, 
grits  were  served  at  breakfast  each  day. 
"Sunday  morning,  it  was  grits  and 
lamb  chops,"  he  said.  "No  variation." 
Lewis  remembers  his  grand- 
mother's dining  room  as  dark, 
shadowed  by  the  porte  cochere 
on  the  east  side  ot  the  house 
and  a  wall  covering  of  a 
hunting  scene  taken  from  a 
French  tapestry.  "The  furni- 
ture of  her  day  was  heavy 
Jacobean  oak  that  almost 
looked  black,"  he  said. 
"Even  when  she  was  alone, 
she  ate  all  three  meals  in 
the  dining  room." 

Crisscrossed  with  dark 
wooden  ceiling  beams,  the 
dining  room  is  paneled  in 
dark  mahogany.  The  black 
marble  fireplace  on  the  east 
wall  is  unusual  in  that  the  top 
board  is  wood,  grained  to  match 
the  marble  in  the  rest  of  the  man- 
tle. The  floor  is  trimmed  with  the 
most  elaborate  of  several  inlaid  bor- 
der patterns  in  the  house.  The  hunt- 
ing-scene wall  covering  is  intact 
under  layers  ot  wallboard  and  wallpa- 
per installed  when  the  house  was 
used  for  filming  in  The  Young  Indiana 
Jones  Chronicles  television  series. 
Although  no  piano  was  kept 
there,  the  east  front  parlor  was  called 
the  music  room.  Mr.  Lewis  and  his 
sister,  Mary  Lily  Flagler  Lewis  Wiley, 
donated  its  Adams-style  furniture  to

the  Cornwallis  House  after  Mrs. 
Wise's  death  in  1968. 

Even  stripped  of  its  rich  furnish- 
ings, the  east  front  parlor  is  a  beautiful 
room.  A  white  marble  mantlepiece  is 
visible  through  the  French  double 
doors;  on  the  ceiling  is  a  rose  medal- 
lion molding.  The  walls  are  trimmed 
with  picture  and  chair-rail  moldings, 
and  the  floor  is  bordered  with  inlaid 
cherry. 

On  the  other  side  of  the  house  is 
a  long  living  room  with  two  fireplaces, 
one  on  the  west  wall  and  the  other  on 
the  north.  It  had  originally  been  two 
smaller  rooms,  but  Mrs.  Wise  remod- 
eled it  because  she  liked  large  rooms, 
Lewis  said. 

One  of  her  favorite  seats  was  a 
hard,  uncomfortable  Victorian  sofa, 
he  said.  A  favorite  hobby  in  later 
years  was  to  "work  from  one  Sunday 


to  the  next  on  the  New  York  Times 
crossword  puzzle." 

Mrs.  Wise  was  also  "crazy  about 
clocks,"  Lewis  said.  "She  had  as 
many  as  four  striking  clocks  in  one 
room.  At  midnight,  you'd  practically 
jump  out  of  bed  because  every  clock 
would  go  off  at  once." 

Just  behind  the  living  room  was  a 
tiny  room  with  a  fireplace,  where  his 
grandmother  would  go  to  nap.  "Mrs. 
Wise  had  this  wonderful  capacity  of 
being  able  to  put  her  head  down  on 
the  sofa  and  go  to  sleep  for  about  20 
minutes  and  wake  up  and  be  as  bright 
as  a  penny,"  Lewis  said.  "Once  she 
did  that,  she  was  spry  for  the  rest  of 
the  evening." 

Lewis  believes  that  his  grand- 
mother's ability  to  nap  kept  her 
young — plus  the  fact  that  she  walked 
every  day.  Mrs.  Wise  also  liked  a

drink  in  the  evening  —  never  more 
than  two,  though. 

Not  one  to  let  an 
immovable  object  stand  in 
the  way  of  a  breath  of  fresh 
air,  Mrs.  Wise  unstuck  the 
window  herself. 


"During  Prohibition,  she  had  a 
wonderful  bootlegger,  and  she  was 
always  terrified  that  someone  would 
steal  her  liquor,"  Lewis  said.  So  she 
had  George  Kidder  of  Wilmington 
Ironworks  equip  a  small  room  off  the 
pantry  with  steel  plates  for  the  floor, 
walls  and  ceiling,  bars  on  the  win- 
dow and  an  iron  door.  The  room  was 
kept  locked  and  opened  only  when 
Mrs.  Wise  wanted  a  drink  —  and 
then  only  long  enough  for  the  liquor 
to  be  poured,  Lewis  said. 

Her  bedroom  upstairs  was  on  the 
front  west  side.  In  a  delightful  touch, 
the  wooden  mantles  in  both  front 
bedrooms  are  supported  by  columns 
that  match  the  Ionic  columns  on  the 
front  of  the  house. 

Two  handsome  watdrobes  are 
built  into  the  hall,  which  leads 
through  double  doors  with  arch- 
paned  glass  to  a  small  foyer — once 
Mrs.  Wise's  sewing  room — over- 
looking the  narrow,  decorative 
balustrade  over  the  front  entry 
below. 

Up  a  narrow  staircase  is  the 
attic.  With  its  down-scaled  stage, 
sloping  walls,  gabled  windows  and 
window  seats,  it's  a  child's  paradise. 
Completely  finished  in  unpainted 
pine  beadboard,  it  looks  much  as  it 
must  have  when  Lewis  played  there 
as  a  child.  "My  grandmother  was 
very  thoughtful,"  he  said.  "She 
didn't  know  what  to  do  with  my 
sister  and  me,  but  she  thought  we 
would  probably  enjoy  playing  on 
a  stage." 

In  their  prime,  the  grounds  were

Wise  House  as  it  appeared  before  World  War  U . 


a  wonderland,  too.  Old  photographs 
show  banks  of  azaleas  framing  a  beau- 
tifully manicured  lawn  decorated 
with  elaborate  statuary.  On  the  side 
of  the  house  was  a  circular  sunken 
garden,  graced  by  a  centuries-old 
Roman  well  with  a  wrought-iron  top 
and  iron  bucket,  Kenan  said.  The  rim 
of  the  garden  is  still  visible  through  a 
tangle  of  morning  glories. 

Before  World  War  II,  Mrs.  Wise 
frequently  accompanied  her  brother 
and  sister  on  Randleigh,  the  custom 
rail  car  William,  Jr.  had  built  to  his 
specifications  in  1926.  Lined  with 
American  walnut,  the  all-steel  car 
was  85  feet  long,  Mr.  Kenan,  Jr. 
wrote  in  his  memoir,  Recollections  by 
the  Way.  Inside  were  two  large  and 
two  small  bedrooms,  large  dining  and 
observation  rooms,  bathrooms,  a 
kitchen,  a  butler's  pantry  and  "crew 
quarters  sufficient  for  three  men." 

The  furnishings  included  Czech- 
oslovakian  glassware,  Bavarian  china, 
carpets  and  blankets  color  matched 
for  each  room  and  Irish  bed  and  table 
linens. 

Among  the  pleasure  trips  the 
threesome  took  were  a  1927  excursion 
to  the  West  Coast  and  Yellowstone 
Park,  a  1929  trip  to  the  Canadian 
Northwest,  a  1931  journey  to  New 
Orleans,  trips  in  1933  and  1940  to 
Havana,  via  Miami,  and  a  1933  jour- 


ney to  the  World's  Fair  in  Chicago. 

Mrs.  Wise  kept  her  good  health 
until  almost  the  end  of  her  life.  One 
day  when  she  was  quite  elderly,  she 
decided  she  wanted  a  certain  window 
open.  It  had  long  since  been  painted 
shut,  Lewis  said.  Not  one  to  let  an 
immovable  object  stand  in  the  way  of 
a  breath  of  fresh  air,  Mrs.  Wise 
unstuck  the  window  herself. 

"She  was  the  most  self- 
disciplined  lady  that  I  ever  saw  in  my 
life,  with  an  absolutely  ferocious  tem- 
per that  she  only  lost  once  in  a  year 
or  so,"  Lewis  said. 


If  Mrs.  Wise  had  a  fierce  temper, 
she  could  also  be  very  generous.  One 
day  when  she  was  in  the  mountains, 
she  was  walking  into  town  from  her 
Blowing  Rock  cottage  when  a  storm 
blew  up.  A  farmer  in  a  broken-down 
truck  gave  her  a  lift.  "The  next  day 
she  bought  that  farmer  a  brand  new 
truck,"  Lewis  said. 

After  Mrs.  Wise  died  in  1968,  her 
grandchildren  deeded  the  house  to  the 
University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Wilmington.  The  donation  was 
intended  to  further  the  charitable  and 
educational  programs  of  the  school, 
but  in  the  years  since,  the  university 
has  had  all  it  can  do  to  maintain  the 
property  in  its  current  state. 

The  exterior  of  the  house  was 
painted  in  1987  and  there  is  fresh 
evidence  of  repair  work  in  one  of 
the  back  bedrooms,  but  a  full  re- 
novation will  be  costly.  Plans  to 
renovate  the  house  for  meetings  and 
seminars,  temporary  office  space  and 
housing  for  university  guests  will  go 
forward  as  soon  as  UNCW  raises 
the  roughly  $717,000  needed  to 
complete  the  project.  That  money 
must  come  almost  entirely  from  pri- 
vate sources. 

For  years,  Jessie  Kenan  Wise's 
beloved  home  has  slumbered  in  the 
shadow  of  its  sister  and  contemporary, 
Kenan  House.  The  time  has  come  to 
give  Miss  Jessie's  house  its  due.

CAMPUS  DIGEST 


HOW  ABOUT  THOSE  SEAHAWKS! 


The  1992-93  UNCW  men's  bas- 
ketball team  posted  its  best 
start  in  school  history,  claiming  early 
victories  over  N.  C.  State,  Auburn 
and  Miami  and  picking  up  votes  in 
the  CNN-USA  Today  Top  25  poll 
tor  the  first  time. 

The  Seahawks  kicked  off  the 
season  with  a  96-84  win  over  N.C. 
State  at  Reynolds  Coliseum  in  Ra- 
leigh, marking  UNCW's  first-ever 
triumph  over  an  Atlantic  Coast 
Conference  opponent.  After  drop- 
ping an  89-76  count  to  host  Fairfield 
in  the  title  game  of  the  Independent 
Mortgage  Classic  in  Fairfield,  G  inn., 
the  Seahawks  returned  home  to  cap- 
ture the  championship  of  the  inau- 
gural USAir  East  Coast  Basketball 
Classic  at  Trask  Coliseum  (more, 
Happenings  and  Events,  p.  19). 


The  Seahawks,  featuring  only 
three  seniors,  continued  to  roll  after 
the  holidays  with  an  impressive  88- 
73  verdict  in  late  December  over 
Miami,  which  upset  No.  10 
Georgetown  in  their  very  next  game. 
UNCW  began  its  Colonial  Athletic 
Association  slate  by  splitting  a  pair 
of  games  in  Virginia. 

The  Seahawks  snapped  a  seven- 
game  losing  streak  to  conference 
power  Richmond  with  an  83-80 
overtime  victory,  then  dropped  a 
99-83  decision  to  James  Madison 
two  nights  later. 

But  perhaps  the  sweetest  vic- 
tory came  late  in  the  season,  when 
the  'Hawks  topped  conference  pow- 
erhouse James  Madison  89-85  be- 
fore a  hometown  crowd.

It  looks  as  though  Miss  Jessie's 
house  will  finally  get  its  due. 
The  UNCW  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation Board  of  Directors  has  se- 
cured a  $350,000  loan  commit- 
ment from  United  Carolina  Bank 
to  cover  renovations  to  the  long- 
time home  of  Jessie  Kenan  Wise. 
The  Neoclassical  Revival  man- 
sion was  donated  to  UNCW  by 
Mrs.  Wise's  heirs  in  1969. 

The  renovation  will  cover 
general  construction 
work,  repairs  to  walls, 
ceilings  and  floors, 
the  installation  of  a 
new  kitchen,  cornice 
repairs  and  access  for 
the  handicapped. 
Wise  House  will  be 
used  for  alumni-re- 
lated functions  while 
additional  work  to 
restore  its  former 
glory  ensues  over  a 


period  of  several  years. 

Wise  House  was  profiled  in 
the  Fall  1992  issue  of  UNCW 
Magazine.  The  story,  written  by 
Magazine  Editor  Mary  Ellen 
Poison,  won  a  1993  Award  of  Ex-

A  LIVING  TREASURE 

World  Renowned  Qlass  Sculptor 
Receives  Award  at  UNCW 


Dale  Chihuly  creates  his  designs  in  glass 
of  artisans  at  his  Seattle  studio. 


ith  the  help  of  a  skilled  team 


BY  RHONDA  EZZELL 

A  patch  covered  his  let: 
eye  and  his  curly  brown 
hair  hung  in  an  un- 
manageable array  around  his 
head.  But  when  world-renowned 
glass  artist  Dale  Chihuly  walked 
toward  the  podium  at  a  black-tie 
gathering  in  University  Center 
Ballroom,  it  was  his  shoes  that 
really  stood  out. 

Red,  blue,  orange  and  every 
color  in  between,  they  were  com- 
pletely covered  with  paint:  the  tall- 
out  from  his  artistic  work.  Chihuly 's 
paint-splattered  shoes  bore  witness 
to  just  how  demanding  designing 
glass  sculpture  can  be. 

"Creating  art  with  glass  is  a 
very  physical  thing,"  Chihuly 
said.  "It's  like  a  workout  —  the 
bigger  the  project,  the  more 
physical  it  is." 

A  Washington  state  artist 
whose  works  have  been  displayed 
in  more  than  SO  museums  world- 
wide, Chihuly  was  named  the  first 
National  Living  Treasure  in  rec- 
ognition ot  his  achievements. 
The  award,  which  will  be  given 
every  two  years,  is  an  outgrowth 
of  the  North  Carolina  Living 
Treasure  Award  founded  by  Dr. 
Jerry  Shinn,  professor  of  philoso- 
phy and  religion  at  UNCW.

said.  "I  like  working  fast  and  the 
team  allows  me  to  do  that." 

Among  the  most  difficult 
challenges  Chihuly  and  his  team 
have  faced  was  the  creation  of  a 
series  called  the  Niijima  Floats. 
Inspired  by  fishing  net  floats  once 
used  by  Japanese  fishermen, 
Chihuly  first  encountered  these 
glass  objects  as  a  child,  when  they 


drifted  onto  beaches  near  his 
home  in  Tacoma.  He  saw  them 
again  on  Niijima,  a  Japanese  is- 
land where  a  glass  school  similar 
to  his  own  was  established  by  a 
former  student. 

The  finished  art  works  are 
huge:  some  reach  up  to  40  inches 
in  diameter.  The  floats  are  also 
the  heaviest  pieces  Chihuly  has 
made.  A  finished  float  can  weigh 
about  60  pounds.  The  first  of  his 
works  that  can  be  shown  out- 
doors, pieces  from  the  series  were 
recently  displayed  in  the  court- 
yards of  the  Honolulu  Academy. 

"I  don't  like  to  work  quite 
this  big,  although  I  like  the  fin- 
ished piece,"  Chihuly  said.  He 
said  it  was  almost  scary  to  watch 
the  production  of  the  floats  be- 
cause it  pushed  the  natural  limits 
of  the  medium  —  and  the  team 
-  "a  little  too  far."

Nov.  lOatUNCW. 

Introduced  to  glass  in  the 
early  1960s  while  a  student  in  in- 
terior design  at  the  University  of 
Washington,  Chihuly  later  ex- 
perimented with  glass  blowing  in 
his  basement  studio.  By  melting 
sheets  of  stained  glass  in  a  rudi- 
mentary kiln  and  using  a  piece  ot 
plumbing  pipe,  Chihuly  managed 
to  blow  a  bubble,  a  feat  that 
amazes  him  to  this  day.  "I  used  to 
think  that  it  was  the  glass  that 
was  so  mysterious,  and  then  I  dis- 
covered that  it  was  the  air  that 
went  into  it  that  was  so  miracu- 
lous," he  said. The  crafts  of  various 
cultures  and  shapes  found  in  na- 
ture inform  his  artwork.  Among 
his  major  series  are  Navajo  Cylin- 
ders, inspired  by  Native  American 
textiles;  The  Pilchuck  Baskets,  in- 
spired by  Northwest  Coast  Indian 


baskets;  the  naturally  inspired  Sea 
Forms  and  Flower  Forms;  and  the 
Macchia  series  depicted  here  and 
on  the  front  cover. 

In  1 976,  Chihuly  lost  his 
depth  perception  when  his  left 
eye  was  blinded  as  a  result  of  an 
auto  accident.  He  creates  his  art 
at  the  Boathouse  studio  on 
Seattle's  Lake  Union  with  the 
help  of  a  team  ot  glass  artisans. 
Some  ot  his  assistants  have  been 
with  him  for  about  20  years. 
"Glass  blowing  is  a  very  spontane- 
ous, fast  medium,  and  you  have  to 
respond  very  quickly,"  Chihuly 
said.  "I  like  working  fast  and  the 
team  allows  me  to  do  that." 

Among  the  most  difficult 
challenges  Chihuly  and  his  team 
have  faced  was  the  creation  ot  a 
series  called  the  Niijima  Floats. 
Inspired  by  fishing  net  floats  once

What  tascinates  Chihuly 
about  the  process  ot  working  with

glass  is  its  capacity  to  evoke  an  in- 
tense emotional  response.  When 
asked  why  he  chooses  to  work  with 
the  medium,  he  said,  "Isn't  it  obvi- 
ous, this  is  no  ordinary  material. 
The  list  of  qualities  that  are  peculiar 
to  glass  is  endless." 

At  the  banquet,  where  the 
artist  received  a  bronze  medal  de- 
signed by  UNCW  tine  arts  associ- 
ate professor  Steven  LeQuire, 
Chihuly  presented  a  video  of  his 
work  set  to  the  music  ot  the  popu- 
lar B-52's  song,  Roam.  Its  words 
seemed  to  suit  his  nomadic  style: 
"Walking  through  the  wilderness, 
roam  it  you  want  to,  roam  around 
the  world." 

Chihuly  has  in  etfect  made 
his  own  pilgrimage  through  the 
wilderness  by  helping  to  establish 
the  studio  glass  movement.  In 
1L)71  he  began  the  Pilchuck  Glass 
School  near  Stanwood,  Wash., 
with  a  $2,000  grant  from  the 
Union  ot  Independent  Colleges 
and  a  land  donation  from  John 
and  Anne  Gould  Hauberg.  Each 
summer  the  school,  which 
Chihuly  calls  "an  international 
glass  communications  center," 
attracts  teachers  and  hundreds  ot 
students  from  around  the  world. 
Its  annual  budget  is  more  than  $1 
million. 

Chihuly  enjoyed  his  North 
Carolina  visit  so  much  he  lingered 
in  Wilmington  an  extra  day.  "I've 
been  such  a  nomad  all  my  life,"  he 
said.  "I  don't  think  I'll  ever  lose  the 
desire  to  travel  to  a  beautiful  place 
-  one  more  archipelago,  an- 
other ring  ot  standing  stones, 
another  glass-blowing  session 
in  some  exotic  spot,  or  just  one 
more  trip  to  Venice  to   see  the 
full  moon  over  Grand  Canal."

Japan's  Handoku  Ito  Visits  Campus 


BY  LAURA  KEETER 

Japan  may  have  carved  a 
name  for  itselt  in  the  world 
of  automobiles,  camera 
equipment  and  Nintendo,  but 
when  Handokti  Ito  visited 
UNCW  last  tall,  he  wielded  a 
much  earlier  form  of  Japanese 
technology. 

Ito  is  best  known  tor  Ukiyo-E, 
a  form  of  Japanese  woodcut.  An 
a  ward- winning,  internationally 
recognized  printmaker,  the  artist 
also  works  in  lithography  and 
silk-screen. 

Woodcut  is  the  oldest  tech- 
nique in  printmaking,  older  than 
etching  or  engraving.  To  make  a 
woodcut  print,  Ito  cuts  the  design 
he  wants  onto  a  cheap  type  ot 
plywood,  then  cuts  away  what  is 
to  be  left  white  in  the  print,  leav- 
ing the  image  surface  in  relief. 


Ito's  style  is  particularly 
unique  in  that  it  is  a  mixture  ot 
old  and  modern  printmaking 
techniques.  "Even  though  he  uses 
traditional  tools,  he  uses  a  per- 
spective that's  more  Western, 
more  modern:  a  linear  perspec- 
tive," said  Donald  Furst,  an  asso- 
ciate professor  ot  art  who  helped 
bring  Ito  to  UNCW. 

Ito  led  workshops  on  campus 
and  lectured  at  St.  John's  Muse- 
um ot  Art  during  his  Aug.  30- 
Sept.  5  residency.  Apparently, 
Japanese  students  are  no  more  im- 
pressed with  the  strengths  ot 
time-honored  technology  than 
American  students.  "Our  gene- 
ration's attitude:  Woodblock  is 
old;  old  is  not  good,"  Ito  told  the 
St.  John's  audience. 

UNCW  students  and  faculty

were  exposed  to  some  of  the  ad- 
vantages of  "old  technology" 
when  the  artist  demonstrated 
how  he  used  a  hand-held  press  in- 
stead of  a  mechanical  one  in  print 
studio  workshops.  The  hand-held 
press  is  more  difficult  to  use,  but 
it  frees  the  artist  from  the  size 
limitations  of  the  mechanical 
press.  "I  tried  it  on  a  print  I  was 
working  on,  and  boy,  it  takes 
some  strength,"  said  Millie  R. 
Dodgens,  a  senior. 

Students  who  saw  Ito  at  work 
in  the  print  studio  praise  his  art  as 
well  as  his  gentle  manner  and 
personable  attitude.  Those  quali- 
ties stand  him  in  good  stead  in 
printmaking,  a  demanding  and 
time-consuming  process.  "It's  one 
of  those  jobs  that  just  doesn't 
end,"  said  Gerald  R.  Shinn,  a  pro- 
fessor of  philosophy  and  religion 


who  helped  bring  both  Ito  and 
glass  designer  Dale  Chihuly  to 
UNCW  last  fall.  "It  just  seems  to 
me  the  only  reason  someone 
would  want  to  do  that  is  because

the  sale  of  the  nine 
lithographs  will  go  to 
bring  more  artists  like 
Ito  to  UNCW. 


they  love  it.  And  (Ito)  obviously 
does." 

During  his  week  in  Wilming- 
ton, Ito  created  a  four-color  litho- 
graph measuring  15  by  20  inches, 
shown  inside  the  front  cover  of 
this  issue  of  UNCW  Magazine.  To 
produce  the  lithograph,  the  artist 


drew  on  thin  sheets  of  aluminum 
with  grease  crayons.  Each  of  the 
tour  plates  was  then  put  through 
a  series  of  chemical  processes  and 
printed. 

Nine  of  the  10  originals  Ito 
produced  will  be  sold  for  $250 
each  by  the  Department  of  Fine 
Arts.  The  department,  which  will 
receive  a  portion  of  the  money 
from  each  print  sold,  plans  to  use 
the  funds  to  bring  more  artists 
like  Ito  to  UNCW. 

Ito  has  exhibited  his  work  in 
Japan,  Italy,  Germany,  South 
America  and  the  United  States. 
His  work  will  he  on  display  during 
the  Oceanside  Arts  Fest  in  June 
and  July  as  one  of  nine  artists  fea- 
tured in  the  William  M.  Randall 
Library  exhibit.

UNCWs  New  Provost  Shares  Some  Thoughts 


BY  JIM  CLARK 

Marvin  K.  Moss  joined 
UNCW  as  its  new  pro- 
vost and  vice  chancellor 
for  academic  affairs  Sept.  I,  1992. 
Dr.  Moss  leas  the  associate  vice 
chancellor  for  marine  sciences  at  the 
University  of  California  at  San  Di- 
ego and  deputy  director  of  the 
Scripps  Institute  of  Oceanography  at 
Lajollafrom  1987  to  1992.  Before 
joining  UC-San  Diego  and  Scripps , 
Dr.  Moss  served  as  director  of  the 
Office  of  Naval  Research  from 
1982-1987 .  His  many  awards  in- 
clude the  U.S.  Navy  Distinguished 
Civilian  Service  Award  in  1 987 
(the  highest  civilian  award  given  by 
the  Navy),  the  Presidential  Rank 
Meritorious  Governmental  Execu- 
tive Award  in  1 985  and  the  Eh  m 


College  Distinguished  Alumni 
Award  in  1979.  Dr.  Moss  is  a 
Burlington,  N.C.,  native  but  calls 
Raleigh  home.  He  earned  a  B.S.  in 
math  and  physics  from  Elan  Col- 
lege, a  master's  degree  in  nuclear 
'engineering  and  a  doctorate  in  phys- 
ics from  N.  C.  State  University. 

QYour  role  here  is  as  pro- 
♦  vost,  and  you  also  have 
the  title  of  vice  chancellor  of 
academic  affairs.  Is  that  a  dual 
position,  or  does  one  encompass 
the  other? 

A    At  most  every  university 
♦  that  has  a  provost,  the 
function  of  the  position  is  differ- 
ent. At  UNC  campuses,  the  pro- 


vost stands  just  below  the  chan- 
cellor. The  provost  is  the  acting 
chancellor  when  the  chancellor  is 
absent  —  he  serves  a  role  some- 
what similar  to  a  vice  president  to 
a  president.  But  at  the  same  time, 
I  have  the  title  of  vice  chancellor 
for  academic  affairs.  There  are 
also  vice  chancellors  for  student 
affairs,  business  affairs,  advance- 
ment and  public  service  and  ex- 
tended education.  So  as  vice 
chancellor,  I  have  sort  of  an 
equal  role  with  them,  except  the 
provost  is,  in  a  sense,  the  unequal 
among  equals.  He's  of  the  mayor 
of  the  university. 


Q 


What's  your  involvement 

with  the  faculty?  Do  you 


WINTER/SPRING     93 


WINTER/SPRING     9   3 


have  any  say  in  the  direction  they 
are  moving  academically? 

A     I  have  a  close  relation  to 
♦  the  faculty,  and  I  have 
been  trying  to  meet  with  all  400 
or  so  of  them.  Any  fundamental 
changes  in  the  curriculum  are 
normally  initiated  by  the  faculty 
.  .  .  they  sort  of  bubble  up  through 
the  faculty  committees,  then  to 
the  deans,  then  to  the  provost/ 
vice  chancellor  for  academic  af- 
fairs for  approval.  For  all  hirings 
of  new  faculty,  this  office  is  the 
last  sign-off  before  going  to  the 
chancellor  and  board  of  trustees, 


if  required.  The  chancellor  and  I 
confer  on  all  decisions.  We  both 
take  them  very  seriously. 

There  are  two  basic  ways  to 
enhance  quality  at  a  university. 
One  is  the  faculty  you  hire.  So 
you  have  to  be  extremely  careful 
there  and  rigorous  in  your  review 
procedures.  The  other  is  through 
promotions  and  tenure.  If  we  ten- 
ure faculty  members,  they're  here. 
So  one  has  to  be  extremely  care- 
ful in  this  process.  We  take  that 
very  seriously  and  spend  a  lot  ot 
time  and  energy  in  the  process. 

In  addition,  we  have  nine  or 
10  directors  who  report  to  the 
vice  chancellor  for  academic  af- 
fairs —  for  example,  admissions, 
registrar,  financial  aid,  computers, 
the  Science  and  Math  Education 


Center  and  a  host  of  others.   In 
essence,  anything  that  deals  with 
academic  affairs,  the  buck  stops 
here,  subject  to  the  approval  or 
disapproval  of  the  chancellor. 


Q: 


Does  that  include  the 
financing  of  the  different 


departments: 

A     Yes,  this  office  is  respon- 
♦  sible  for  distribution  of 
all  budgets  to  the  deans,  depart- 
ments and  directories. 

QYou  take  your 
♦  slice  and  divvy  it  up 
among  the  different  depart- 
ments? 

A      That's  the  ultimate 
♦  disposition.  A  majority, 
by  far,  of  the  university's  budget 
comes  to  academic  affairs,  some 
70  percent. 


QAs  the  Cameron 
♦  School  ot  Busi- 
ness grows,  the  School  of 
Education  kicks  off  the 
Odyssey  program  and  the 
students  from  the  School 
of  Nursing  continue  to 
pass  the  state  licensing 
exam  at  near  the  100 
percent  mark,  how  do 
you  plan  to  deal  with  the 
distribution  of  funds  as 
funds  tighten?  Will  the 
outside  money  be  taken 
into  consideration  in  the 
department  budgets? 
Will  some  departments 
receive  less  university 
money  and  others  more, 
based  on  outside  income? 

A^  That's  a  very 
♦  good  question. 
The  Odyssey  program: 
Even  though  it  is  on  the 


order  of  $  1 5  to  20  million,  most 
of  those  resources  go  to  Gaston 
County.  There's  some  $450,000, 
plus  or  minus,  that  will  come 
here.  There  will  be  significant 
benefits  to  our  faculty,  who  will 
be  able  to  go  to  Gaston  County 
during  the  demonstration  period. 
It's  a  nice  program  in  that  it  will 
help  us  help  North  Carolina's 
schools. 

Not  enough  Odyssey  program 
resources  coming  back  here  to  re- 
ally impact  our  budget  signifi- 
cantly. So  the  answer  there  is  no. 
I  recently  met  with  the  chancel- 
lor and  the  vice  chancellor  for  ad- 
vancement (Bill  Anlyan)  over 
lunch  to  talk  about  approaching 
foundations  and  other  granting 
agencies  to  bring  in  more  funds  to 
allow  us  to  really  excel. 

We  will  need  the  help  of  the 
faculty,  the  department  chairs, 
the  deans,  my  office,  Bill  Anlyan 
and  the  chancellor.  Hopefully,  we 


U  NC  W 


U  N  C  W 


will  be  doing  more  and  more  of 
that. 

QGov.  Hunt  recently  said 
♦   children  will  be- a  main 
priority  in  his  term.  Do  you  see 
him  getting  involved  by  allocat- 
ing more  state  funds? 

A      Being  back  in  North 
♦  Carolina  for  just  a  few 
months  after  being  away  for  some 
14  years,  I  can't  predict,  but  I  cer- 
tainly hope  so.  I  think  we  have  an 
opportunity  here  with  our  out- 
standing School  of  Education  to 
come  in  and  help  significantly. 

Ot  course,  one  of  our  former 
vice  chancellors,  Jane  Patterson, 
has  left  to  be  one  ot  Hunt's  prin- 
cipal assistants.  Hopefully,  we  can 
get  some  help  from  Jane  and  the 
governor  in  some  crucial  ways. 

QWhat  do  you  see  as  the 
♦  future  of  the  marine  biol- 
ogy program  ?  We  have  the 
Aquarius  getting  its  final  shake- 
downs off  the  Florida  coast.  Will 
it  be  an  integral  part  of  the 
department's  future.7 


A 


Yes  it  will  be.  The  ma- 

♦ 

♦    rine  biology  program 
is  the  largest  program  on  cam- 
pus. We've  expanded  so  much 
—  double,  triple  what  it  was 
five  or  six  years  ago.  And  that's 
because  of  the  excellence  of 
the  program  and  the  students, 
who  are  concerned  with  the 
ocean,  the  environment,  the 
estuaries  and  coastlines,  as  I  am 
myself.  I  expect  great  things  and 
I  expect  (the  program)  to  grow. 
What  we  in  the  adminis- 
tration want  to  do  is  to  see  the 
UNC  campuses  all  pull  to- 
gether to  make  ourselves  much 
greater  than  the  sum  of  the 
parrs,  and  influence  and  drive 


national  policy  in  marine  sci- 
ence. That's  one  of  my  heavy 
agenda  items.  We're  already 
working  on  it.  Give  us  a  little 
time  and  I  think  you  are  going  to 
see  some  things  that  are  really 
positive  happen  in  this  area. 

It  we  can  do  it,  then  we  can 
help  the  state  and  even  the  in- 
dustrial base  of  the  state.  Once 
you  get  basic  marine  science  re- 
searchers from  universities,  the 
next  step  is  to  develop  the  tech- 
nology that  goes  with  (the  re- 
search). This  state  needs  to  come 
on  strong  in  that  area.  I  think  we 
can  help  in  a  number  of  ways 
which  will  boost  us  economi- 
cally, scientifically,  technologi- 
cally. 


defeat  of  NCSU,  I  told  the  stu-

powet  of  the  sea,  but  the  role  of 
the  ocean  in  the  environment. 
We  know  less  about  the  ocean 
than  we  do  about  space.  We 
know  more  about  distant  planets, 
stars  and  solar  systems  in  a  lot  of 
cases  than  we  do  about  the 
ocean.  We  can't  model  even  a 
small  ocean  basin  today  to  pre- 
dict the  flow  of  the  water.  And 
this  is  extremely  important.  For 
example,  in  global  warming,  the 


WINTER/SPRING     93 


10 


WINTER/SPRING     9   3 


world  pumps  some  8  billion  tons 
of  carbon  dioxide  into  the  atmo- 
sphere annually.  And  half  of  that 
is  absorbed  by  the  ocean.  We 
don't  know  what  happens  to  at 
least  several  billion  tons  of  it.  It 
you  don't  understand  the  ocean, 
the  CO,  uptake,  the  turnover  and 
the  way  the  absorbent  capacity 
works  from  a  chemical  oceanog- 
raphy point  of  view,  (then  how 
can  you  predict)  how  much  more 
and  how  much  longer  the  ocean 
will  be  able  to  absorb  these  atmo- 
spheric pollutants  .  .  .  These  are 
the  questions  that  must  be  an- 
swered. 

I  used  to  be  the  head  of  the 
Office  of  Naval  Research,  which 
is  the  entire  research  arm  of  the 
U.S.  Navy.  The  Navy  used  to  do 
a  lot  of  deep  water  oceanography 
—  because  it  you  were  going  to 
detect  Soviet  submarines  and 
know  where  they  were  in  case  of 
war  and  that  sort  of  thing,  you've 
got  to  know  something  about  the 
ocean,  its  characteristics.  ONR's 
program  has  gone  from  deep  wa- 
ter to  coastal  oceanography  be- 
cause the  coast  is  so  important  to 
the  Navy  and  the  population. 
One  reason  is  that  the  threat  in 
the  future  will  probably  be  from 
small  two-  or  three-man  diesel 
submarines  —  rather  than  big 
nuclear-powered  submarines  — 
in  terrorist-type  activity. 

But  understanding  the  coastal 
ocean  and  the  way  sediment  is 
transported,  the  way  beaches 
erode,  is  extremely  important. 
The  ocean  is  going  to  be  a  more 
important  factor  than  anything 
else  in  the  future. 

I  was  out  on  a  ship  for  10  days 
less  than  a  year  ago  in  four  mile- 
deep  water,  and  we  were  drilling 
over  halt  a  mile  into  the  earth's 
crust  —  drilling  a  pipeline  four 
and  a  half  miles  long  through  tour 


miles  of  water.  We  were  seeing 
sediments  that  were  hundreds  of 
millions  of  years  old.  We  could 
really  trace  the  history  of  the 
Earth.  Research  like  that  is  very 
important  to  understanding  glo- 
bal change,  the  natural  evolution 
of  the  earth  and  what's  changing 
today  with  the  environment. 

9^  With  the  oil  spill  in  the 
♦  Shetland  Islands  right  on 
eels  of  the  one  off  the  Span- 
ish coast,  do  you  see  mandatory 
double-hulled  ships  in  the  future? 


A: 


1  would  like  to  see  them  . 

Maybe  to  start,  the 
United  States  should  require  that 
all  petroleum/oil  products  deliv- 
ered to  the  U.S.  be  delivered  in 
double-hulled  ships.  It  would  in- 
crease our  price  a  little  bit,  but 
protecting  the  environment  is 
going  to  be  costly. 

Q      You've  been  on  the  job 
♦     just  a  tew  months.  What 
are  your  impressions  of  UNCW 
as  an  institution,  a  community 
and  a  future.7 


A: 


As  an  institution,  I'm  ex- 
tremely impressed  by  it. 
I've  been  around  to  95  percent  of 
the  departments  and  met  with 
the  faculty  and  chairs  for  about 
two  hours  apiece,  and  still  have  a 
couple  to  go.  There's  really  excel- 
lent faculty  here,  and  there  are 
good  courses  and  curriculums, 
and  the  faculty  takes  teaching  se- 
riously. There's  also  a  lot  of  re- 
search that  goes  on  all  the  time. 
What  impresses  me  is  that  at 
Chapel  Hill,  N.C.  State,  UC-San 
Diego,  undergraduates  hardly  see 
their  major  professors  because 
(the  professors)  are  in  the  labs. 
Here,  many  students  are  co-au- 
thors on  research  papers.  You 


won't  find  that  at  N.  C.  State.  It's 
a  wonderful  opportunity  for  the 
students;  our  faculty  deserves 
great  praise  for  this. 

The  community  is  very  beau- 
tiful here.  There  is  a  lot  of  art  and 
culture,  and  I  think  there  will  be 
more.  Our  Fine  Arts  Department 
will  see  to  that.  I  look  forward  to 
being  a  part  the  leadership  of 
UNCW.  And  what  do  I  think  oi 
the  future?  I  received  a  two-line 
letter  from  an  assistant  professor 
before  I  came.  I  got  quite  a  tew 
letters,  but  this  was  one  ot  the 
most  impressive.  It  said,  "Dear 
Dr.  Moss:  UNCW  has  a  tremen- 
dous potential  in  its  faculty,  its 
students  and  its  facilities.  All  we 
need  is  tor  you  and  Chancellor 
Leutze  to  give  us  the  leadership  to 
achieve  it." 

I  totally  agree  with  that  and 
look  forward  to  it.

HEADING 
FOR  THE 
HILLS 


Ever  since  Ray  Buchanan 
retreated  to  a 
spiritual  oasis  in  the 
foothills  of  Virginia's  Blue 
Ridge,  his  Society 
of  St.  Andrew  has  been 
piling  up  mountains  of 
potatoes. 


BY  MARY  ELLEN 
POLSON 

Ray  Buchanan  has  been  to  the  mountaintop 
more  than  once. 

A  1972  graduate  of  UNCW,  the  Rev. 
Buchanan  was  in  such  a  hurry  to  pursue  his  call 
to  the  ministry  that  he  dropped  out  of  seminary 
three  times  and  headed  literally  for  the  hills. 

On  each  occasion,  Rev.  Buchanan  found 
himself  within  a  mountain  ridge  or  two  of  the 
place  where  he,  the  Rev.  Kenneth  C.  Home 
and  their  families  would  later  gather  to  form  the 
Society  of  St.  Andrew,  a  Christian  ministry 
built  around  the  intention  of  living  a  simpler, 
biblically  inspired  lifestyle. 

Two  families  living  in  an  age-ravaged  farm- 
house in  Big  Island,  Va.,  might  never  have  been 
heard  from  again.  But  when  a  parishioner  sug- 
gested collecting  one  truckload  of  potatoes  and 
distributing  it  to  the  poor  10  years  ago,  the  So- 
ciety of  St.  Andrew  suddenly  found  itself  on  a 
sort  of  hunger-relief  fast  track.

"When  we  started  the  Society 
of  St.  Andrew,  our  very  existence 
as  a  community  and  the  way  we 
lived  was  as  much  the  message  as 
what  we  were  saying,"  said  Rev. 
Buchanan  as  he  sipped  potato- 
garlic  soup  in  a  Durham  restau- 
rant. But  Rev.  Buchanan  and  his 
colleagues  found  themselves 
caught  between  living  a  respon- 
sible lifestyle  and  sharing  their 
message  with  others.  "Right  away 
from  day  one,  that  tension  was 
built  in  between  doing  it  and 
talking  about  it." 

Soon  after  he  arrived  in  the 
Blue  Ridge  foothills  in  1979,  Rev. 
Buchanan  began  serving  as  pastor 
for  four  small  churches  in  the  area 
(one  had  a  congregation  of 
seven).  When  he  and  his  partner, 
Rev.  Home,  conducted  educa- 
tional programs  on  hunger,  the 
two  United  Methodist  ministers 
found  themselves  learning  from 
their  parishioners. 

Someone  came  up  with  the 
idea  for  a  small  hunger-relief 
project:  collecting  the  perfectly 
edible  potatoes,  peas  and  cabbage 
that  are  harvested  but  not  sold 
because  the  fruit  is  too  large  or 
too  small,  or  simply  isn't  pretty 
enough.  Gleaning  such  unwanted 
produce  dates  back  to  biblical 
times. 


field  near 
Benson. 


From  that  first  2,000-pound 
truckload,  the  project  sprawled 
into  a  collection  program  that 
spread  across  the  entire  state  of 
Virginia  and  the  District  of  Co- 
lumbia. In  two  months,  the  group 
salvaged  almost  1  million  pounds 
of  potatoes  farmers  couldn't  sell, 
all  of  them  donated  free. 

Today,  the  Society  of  St.  An- 
drew either  distributes  or  harvests 
food  from  48  states,  working  with 
hundreds  of  anti-hunger  agencies, 
and  is  slowly  branching 
out  internationally,  with 
programs  in  Jamaica, 
Kenya  and  Russia.  "Since 
we  started  in  1983,  we've 
distributed  over  140  mil- 
lion pounds  of  food 
through  our  programs," 
Rev.  Buchanan  said.  In 
1992,  more  than  24  mil- 
lion pounds  of  produce 
were  distributed.  "We're 
not  even  scratching  the 
surface  of  what's  available. 
We're  getting  less  than  a 
tenth  of  1  percent." 

Studies  show  an  esti- 
mated 32  million  Ameri- 
cans go  without  sufficient 
food  at  least  two  to  three 
days  per  month.  Most  of 
the  hungry  are  children  or 
the  elderly. 


Rev.  Buchanan  and  his  part- 
ners firmly  believe  hunger  can  be 
eliminated  in  the  United  States 
in  the  next  decade.  "I'll  be  more 
precise,"  Buchanan  said.  "The 
United  Methodist  Church,  by  it- 
self, could  feed  every  hungry  per- 
son in  this  country  in  the  next 
decade  if  it  decided  to  do  it." 

Through  its  Gleaning  Net- 
work, the  Society  organizes  small 
groups  of  volunteers  to  pick  over 
fields  already  harvested  by  com- 
mercial methods.  In  1992,  about 
6,000  people  participated  in  the 
gleaning  network,  which  is  active 
in  half  a  dozen  states,  including 
North  Carolina. 

The  yield  can  be  substantial. 
When  a  group  from  Pine  Valley 
United  Methodist  Church  in 
Wilmington  harvested  beans  at  a 
farm  near  Rose  Hill  last  year,  "ev- 
eryone there  was  just  amazed  that 
every  plant  had  something  on  it," 
said  Buck  Norton,  coordinator  of 
the  effort.  "We  went  out  to  a  field

picking  corn  our  second  time, 
and  it  was  just  a  matter  of  going 
down  the  rows  and  pulling  the 
ears  off." 

While  more  people  are  in- 
volved in  the  gleaning  programs 
than  in  the  Potato  Project,  they 
harvest  far  less  —  lots  of  500  and 
1,000  pounds  rather  than  50,000 
pounds,  Buchanan  said.  But  the 
Gleaning  Network  may  he  a 
richer  ministry,  fueling  contact 
between  people  from  different 
walks  of  life. 

Suburban  churchgoers  or  per- 
haps even  a  congressman  or  two 
may  find  themselves  working 
alongside  kids  from  poor  inner 
city  neighborhoods.  Or  a  group  of 
church  men  will  take  500  pounds 
of  cabbages  to  battered  women  at 
a  shelter.  Then  they  notice  the 
porch  is  leaking  and  decide  to 
come  back  the  next  Saturday  to 
fix  it. 

"All  of  a  sudden  you  have 
groups  relating  to  one  another 
that  never  knew  they  existed," 
Rev.  Buchanan  said.  "And  so  you 
have  all  kinds  of  spin-off  minis- 


tries that  with  the  Potato  Project, 
never  happen." 

Rev.  Buchanan's  work  has 
not  gone  without  notice.  He  re- 
ceived the  Distinguished  Alumni 
Award  from  UNCW  in  1985  and 
was  awarded  an  honorary  doctor- 
ate by  Shenandoah  University. 
Most  recently,  Rev.  Buchanan 
and  his  partner  were  chosen  as 
winners  in  Maxwell  House 
Coffee's  "Search  for  100  Real 
Heros."  The  coffee  company  con- 
ducted a  year-and-a-  half-long 
search  for  unsung  heros,  then  ran 
a  full-page  color  advertisement  in 
USA  Today  to  honor  the  winners. 

Originally  from  Corpus 
Christi,  Texas,  Rev.  Buchanan 
came  to  Southeastern  North 
Carolina  during  a  four-year  stint 
in  the  Marine  Corps.  He  met  and 
married  his  wife,  the  former 
Marian  Kelly  of  Rocky  Point,  and 
enrolled  at  UNCW  in  1970. 

Juggling  part-time  jobs  that 
had  him  working  more  than  40 
hours  a  week,  Rev.  Buchanan 
carried  a  course  load  averaging  18 
to  20  credit  hours  per  semester. 


After  a  12-hour  shift  stocking 
groceries  overnight  at  the  Winn- 
Dixie,  he'd  often  fall  asleep  in  his 
8  a.m.  class.  "It  really  was  a  blur," 
he  said. 

Despite  his  hectic  schedule, 
Rev.  Buchanan  developed  close 
relationships  with  UNCW's  only 
two  religion  and  philosophy  pro- 
fessors at  the  time,  B.  Frank  Hall 
and  Gerald  Shinn.  "I  immediately 
fell  in  love  with  Jerry  —  just  his 
style,  coming  in,  turning  over 
desks  and  stuff  like  that  to  get 
people's  attention,"  Rev. 
Buchanan  said.  "His  non-tradi- 
tional teaching  approach  really 
caught  my  eye." 

Part  of  Dr.  Shinn's  teaching 
style  is  to  challenge  students  to 
move  beyond  their  personal  com- 
fort zones  —  the  realm  of  experi- 
ence people  build  around  them- 
selves where  they  feel  comfort- 
able, Rev.  Buchanan  said.  "The 
bigger  your  comfort  zone,  the  big- 
ger your  possibilities  are.  The  one

thing  I  learned  from  Jerry  is,  you 
ought  to  he  expanding  that  com- 
fort :one  every  day  of  your  life." 

Like  Dr.  Shinn,  Rev. 
Buchanan  thrives  on  a  peripa- 
tetic existence.  "Someone  once 
described  me  as  a  butterfly  who 
wants  to  taste  every  flower  in  the 
field  before  I  die,"  he  said,  then 
added,  laughing,  "and  it  wasn't 
complimentary  at  the  time." 

James  Collier,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  English,  also  influenced 
Rev.  Buchanan's  philosophy. 
"He  pushed  me  to  write.  I  think 
he  was  learning  at  the  same  time 
because  I  don't  think  he'd  ever 
taught  creative  writing,"  said 
Rev.  Buchanan,  who  wrote  short 
story  after  short  story  under  Dr. 
Collier's  direction  as  part  of  a  di- 
rected study  course.  He  has  since 
written  thousands  of  words  on 
behalf  of  the  Society  of  St.  An- 
drew. "The  quality  of  my  educa- 
tion at  UNCW  —  I  would  not 
have  traded  that  for  any  univer- 
sity in  the  United  States  because 
of  the  personal  involvement  of 
the  professors  there." 

Ironically,  the  success  of  the 
Society's  most  visible  programs 
has  made  an  indelible  change  in 
Rev.  Buchanan's  lifestyle,  which 
he  describes  as  no  longer  simple. 
"You  can't  stay  on  the  road  200 
days  a  year  and  live  that  back-to- 
the-earth  lifestyle,"  he  said. 

That  will  change  in  1993, 
when  Rev.  Buchanan  and  Rev. 
Home  —  at  the  prompting  of 
their  wives  —  have  pledged  to 
spend  at  least  75  to  80  percent  of 
their  time  in  the  office  —  at  least 
for  the  first  three  months. 

The  Buchanans  still  live  in 
the  old  farmhouse,  not  far  from 
the  Society's  office,  headquar- 
tered in  a  tin  building.  The 
house,  parts  of  which  date  to 
1809,  took  40  truckloads  of  wood 


to  heat  the  first  winter  the 
Buchanans  and  Homes  lived 
there.  Deer,  opossum,  fox,  rabbits 
and  skunks  are  likely  to  appear  in 
the  yard  in  any  given  week  —  all 
part  of  the  appeal  for  Rev. 
Buchanan, whose  love  of  wildlife 
runs  to  mean-tempered  snakes. 
With  his  partner,  he  has  been 
known  to  go  on  week- long  hunt- 
ing trips  in  the  dead  of  winter 
with  nothing  that  he  couldn't 
have  taken  with  him  in  1840.  He 
dreams  of  pursuing  a  doctorate  in 
Native  American  spirituality  — 
in  part  because  the  religion  of  the 
Plains  Indians,  for  instance,  was 


inseparable  from  their  relation- 
ship to  the  land. 

With  all  his  multi-faceted  in- 
terests, this  man  driven  to  retreat 
to  the  mountains  has  become  a 
full-time  fund-raiser  and  promoter 
for  his  cause. 

"Our  overall  vision  has  al- 
ways been  a  world  without  hun- 
ger," Rev.  Buchanan  said.  "And 
we  want  that  because  we  know 
it's  possible  .  .  .  that's  what 
we're  after."

HUMANITIES 


A  New  Journal  Opens  Its  Doors 


Academic  journals  tend 
to  be  thin,  stuffy  vol- 
umes written  in  arcane 
language  by  professors  for  other 
professors. 

Not  so  North  Carolina  Hu- 
manities. Two  years  in  the  mak- 
ing and  the  first  of  its  kind  in 
North  Carolina,  this  is  one  jour- 
nal where  you  won't  have  to 
fight  your  way  through  thick 
academic  prose. 

Tucked  into  the  first  issue  is 
Normal  Fishing,  a  short  work  of 
fiction  by  Raney  author  Clyde 
Edgerton.  There's  a  look  at  the 
use  of  the  American  flag  as  a  re- 
ligious symbol  by  UNC  history 
professor  John  Semonche,  and  a 
glimpse  into  the  Utopian  world 
of  North  Carolina's  Love  Valley 
by  Conrad  Ostwalt,  assistant 
professor  of  religion,  culture  and 
American  religious  traditions  at 
Appalachian  State  University. 

"If  you  have  an  interest  in  a 
wide  variety  of  subjects,  you'll 
find  a  piece  in  each  issue,  maybe 
two  or  three  pieces,  that  you'll  be 
very  interested  in,"  said  the 
journal's  managing  editor, 
UNCW  Professor  of  History 
Melton  McLaurin. 

The  author  of  Celia:  A  Slave, 
a  historical  work  reviewed  on  the 
front  page  of  The  New  York  Times 
Book  Review,  knows  good  writing 
when  he  sees  it. 

In  the  inaugural  issue  is 


Wendy  Gwathney's  essay  on  how- 
typical  academic  jargon  works  to 
exclude  a  broader  audience.  The 
Duke  graduate  student  in  English 
holds  a  master's  degree  from 
UNCW. 


Polythera,  a  color  lithograph  by  Donald  Furst 


The  second  issue,  due  in 
May,  will  feature  short  fiction, 
poetry  and  essays  such  as  Cassie 
Premo's  exploration  of  themes  of 
re-creation  in  Alice  Walker's 
novels. 

Even  the  journal's  cover  in- 
vites readers  inside.  The  color 
lithograph  Polythera  by  UNCW 
associate  professor  of  art  Donald 
Furst  details  an  open  door,  re- 


vealing doors  within  doors. 

The  inspiration  for  North 
Carolina  Humanities  came  from 
several  sources.  The  first  was  an 
awareness  of  the  sheer  numbers  of 
excellent  humanities  scholars  in 
North  Carolina.  "Many  of  them 
are  teaching  at  small  schools  like 
Pembroke  or  Campbell  or  Elon 
—  they're  not  just  at  the  major 
universities,"  Dr.  McLaurin  said. 
"Many  of  these  scholars  have 
something  to  say  to  a  larger  audi- 
ence, to  the  educated  public,  but 
they  have  no  place  in  which  to 
say  it.  We  felt  it  was  important  to 
establish  such  a  medium." 

The  last  realization  was  an 
instinctive  one.  "We  really  do  be- 
lieve that  there  are  large  numbers 
of  people  in  North  Carolina  who 
are  interested  in  humanities  is- 
sues and  who  would  read  what 
these  writers  have  to  say,"  Dr. 
McLaurin  said. 

Subscribers  who  enroll  this 
spring  will  receive  the  Fall  1992 
and  Spring  1993  editions  of  North 
Carolina  Humanities.  Subscrip- 
tions to  the  twice-a-year  journal 
are  $15.  Write  to  North  Carolina

CHARTING  the  CURRENTS  of  CHANGE 


UNCW  is  in  the  midst  of  a  five-year ,  $15  milium  capital  campaign  to  help  fund  important  academic 
and  scholarship  programs  .The  university  thankfidly  acknowledges  the  following  generous  gifts. 


AT&T,  $135,000  grant 
in  computer  equipment 
to  UNCW.  Announced 
at  the  UNCW  Board  oi  Trustees 
meeting  Dec.  16,  this  grant  paved 
the  way  for  a  new  "technology 
classroom"  in  Bear  Hall. 

The  technology  classroom, 
equipped  with  20  interconnected 
microcomputers,  makes  it  possible 
for  students  to  apply  computer 
applications  as  they  are  taught. 
Instead  of  simply  taking  notes  in 
a  calculus  class,  for  instance,  stu- 
dents can  watch  as  a  professor 
charts  an  equation  graphically, 
then  use  the  computer  to  get  the 
same  results  themselves. 

"In  a  free  global  economy,  the 
success  of  U.S.  business  will  de- 
pend more  than  ever  on  innova- 
tion and  creative  application  of 
technology,"  said  David  Brick, 
senior  marketing  representative 
for  AT&T  in  Raleigh,  who  repre- 
sented the  company  at  the  trustee 
meeting.  "AT&T  views  this  sup- 
port as  our  share  of  the  invest- 
ment needed  to  keep  America 
competitive." 

The  gift  was  part  of  $19.5 
million  AT&T  granted  to  90  col- 
leges and  universities  in  1992. 
UNCW  was  one  of  four  higher 
education  institutions  to  receive  a 
share  of  $1.22  million  awarded  in 
North  Carolina. 


Guilford  Mills,  $50,000 
to  endow  a  Guilford 
Mills  Scholarship.  The 
scholarship  will  be  offered  to 
UNCW  students  majoring  in 
economics  and  computer  science, 
with  priority  going  to  qualified 
students  from  the  families  of 
Guilford  Mills  employees. 
Guilford  Mills,  based  in  Greens- 
boro, has  a  plant  in  Kenansville 
in  Duplin  County.  The  first 
awards  for  the  Guilford  Mills 
Scholarship  can  be  made  in  the 
fall  of  1994. 

Charles  F.  Green  III, 
$50,000  to  endow  the 
Anne  Green  Saus 
Scholarship  at  UNCW.  The 
scholarship,  established  by  the 
nephew  of  Anne  Green  Saus  in 
her  honor,  will  be  awarded  annu- 
ally to  a  student  majoring  in  En- 
glish with  a  concentration  in  lit-

erature  and  language,  primarily 
based  on  merit.  A  former  teacher, 
copywriter  and  the  author  of 
three  books  for  youths,  Mrs.  Saus 
has  an  avid  interest  in  literature 
and  language.  Mr.  Green  was  rec- 
ognized as  UNCW's  Distin- 
guished Alumnus  in  1989. 

B.D.  and  Sylvia  Schwartz, 
$25,000  to  create  the 
Schwartz  Endowment 
Fellowship  Fund.  The  money  will 
endow  a  scholarship  for  a 
UNCW  graduate  student,  se- 
lected by  a  committee  appointed 
by  the  dean  of  the  graduate 
school.  The  Schwartzes,  who 
have  been  involved  in  the  devel- 
opment of  the  UNCW  campus 
virtually  since  its  beginnings,  pre- 
viously endowed  the  first  gradu- 
ate scholarship  offered  at 
UNCW.

Robert  F.  and  Catherine 
Warwick,  $25,000  to 
create  the  Robert  F.  and 
Catherine  Warwick  Scholarship. 
The  scholarship  is  open  to  gradu- 
ates of  any  New  Hanover  County 
high  school  and  will  be  awarded 
on  the  basis  of  involvement  in 
the  Fellowship  of  Christian  Ath- 
letes, leadership  potential,  char- 
acter, scholastic  ability  and  finan- 
cial need.  Mr.  Warwick,  a  gradu- 
ate of  Wilmington  College,  serves 
as  chairman  of  the  UNCW  Board 
of  Trustees. 

Family  and  friends  of  F.P. 
Fensel,  $25,000  to  endow 
the  Francis  Peter  Fensel 
Memorial  Scholarship.  Estab- 
lished by  memorial  gifts  from  the 
family  and  friends  of  Francis  Pe- 
ter Fensel,  the  fund  is  intended  to 
to  provide  a  graduate  scholarship 
in  marine  biology  at  UNCW. 
The  scholarship  will  first  be 
awarded  in  the  fall  of  1993. 


Menzette  and  Matthew 
Donahue,  $15,700  for 
the  Matthew  Dale 
Donahue  Endowed  Scholarship. 
Established  in  loving  memory  of 
Dale  Donahue  by  his  parents,  the 
scholarship  is  open  to  an  under- 
graduate in  any  academic  field  of 
study  at  UNCW.  The  fund  was 
established  through  the  gift  of 
300  shares  of  CP&L  stock.  The 
first  scholarship  award  will  be 
possible  in  the  fall  of  1993. 

Interroll  Corp.,  $15,000  to 
endow  the  Interroll  Schol- 
arship Fund  at  UNCW.  The 
scholarship  will  be  offered  to  un- 
dergraduates, with  priority  going 
to  students  from  the  families  of 
Interroll  Corp.  employees.  If  no 
students  who  are  children  of 
Interroll  employees  apply,  the 
scholarship  may  be  awarded  to  a 
student  from  Southeastern  North 
Carolina.

A.  Eaton. 

Dr.  Eaton,  a  Wilmington 
physician  and  civil  rights  leader, 
served  eight  years  on  the  UNCW 
Board  of  Trustees,  two  as  chair. 

For  many  years,  Dr.  Eaton 
was  a  controversial  figure.  His  au- 
tobiography, Even'  Man  Should 
Try,  detailed  his  role  in  the  de- 
segregation of  schools  in  New 
Hanover  County. 

A  task  force  made  up  of  com- 
munity leaders,  including  repre- 
sentatives from  Cape  Fear  Com- 
munity College  and  UNCW,  es- 
tablished  the  scholarships  in 
honor  of  Eaton  for  his  contribu- 
tions to  education. 

The  $500  scholarships  will  be 
awarded  annually  beginning  in 
Fall  1993.  Incoming  students  who 
graduated  from  an  accredited 
high  school  in  New  Hanover 
County  are  eligible  for  the  schol- 
arships. 

Race  will  not  be  a  factor  in 
determining  recipients.  Where 
candidates  are  substantially  equal, 
choice  will  be  determined  by  need. 


First  USAir  Classic 
Judged  a 
Success 


There  was  no  shortage  of  ex- 
citement when  the  Univer- 
sity of  North  Carolina  at  Wilm- 
ington played  host  to  the  first 
USAir  East  Coast  Classic  Dec. 
18-19. 

The  fun  began  early  in  the 
week,  when  about  200  guests  ap- 
peared in  their  tinery  at  a  glitter- 
ing black-tie  event  in  Wagoner 
Hall  Dec.  16.  University  guests 
and  hungry  players  dined  aboard 
the  Battleship  North  Carolina 
memorial  at  a  casual  supper  held 
Dec.  17,  the  night  before  play  got 
under  way. 

But  nothing  could  top  the  ex- 
citement of  the  games  themselves 
—  culminating  in  the  Seahawk's 
victory  over  Auburn  for  the 
championship. 

In  the  title  game,  senior  for- 
ward Tim  Shaw  of  Fayetteville 
exploded  for  33  points  as  the 
Seahawks  ripped  Auburn,  91-80.

"Once  you  get  past  Tim 
Shaw,  there's  no  difference  in  the 
other  eight,"  Auburn's  Tommy 
Joe  Eagles  told  reporters  in  the 
press  room.  "People  in  other  areas 
of  the  country  would  kill  to  have 
a  team  like  this  to  watch."

Bill  Brooks  Inducted  into  State 
Sports  Hall  of  Fame 


f  ithout   BUI   Brooks,  UNC 
Wilmington's  thriving  athlet- 
ics program  simply  wouldn't  he  where 
it  is  today. 

UNCW's  Long-time 
athletic  director  was  one 
of  15  sports  figures  in- 
ducted into  the  state 
Sports  Hall  of  Fame  in 
Raleigh  May  6.  "I  consider 
it  probably  the  most  im- 
portant recognition  I've 
ever  had,"  Brooks  told  the 
Wilmington  Morning  Star. 

A  star  high  school  and 
college  athlete,  the  Wil- 
son native  played  minor  league  profes- 
sional baseball  for  the  New  York  Gi- 
ants, then  came  to  Wilmington  in 
195 1  to  teach  and  coach  at  New  Han- 
over High  School  and  the  fledgling 
Wilmington  College. 

In  1956,  Brooks  became  athletic 
director;  within  two  years,  he  had 
signed  his  first  scholarship  player. 

As  an  administrator,  Brooks  was 
the  architect  of  UNCW's  sports  pro- 


grams, notably  in  baseball.  Over  a  27- 
season  coaching  career,  he  held  a  .663 
record,  with  574  wins  and  292  losses. 
Wilmington  College  won  na- 
tional junior  college  cham- 
pionships in  1961  and  1963. 
Named  a  National 
Coach  of  the  Year  in  1975, 
Brooks  oversaw  the  construc- 
tion of  several  major  sports 
facilities  and  helped  raise 
funds  for  others,  including 
Trask  Coliseum.  Many  con- 
sider his  crowning  achieve- 
ment to  be  the  orchestration 
of  NCAA  conference  affili- 
ation for  the  Seahawks,  who  joined 
the  Colonial  Athletic  Association  in 
1985. 

Brooks,  who  retired  in  1991 ,  is  the 
fifth  Wilmington  sports  figure  to  be 
inducted  into  the  state  Hall  of  Fame, 
joining  former  New  Hanover  High 
School  coach  Leon  Brodgen,  pro  foot- 
ball legends  Sonny  Jurgensen  and  Ro- 
man Gabriel  and  Harlem  Globetrotters 
star  Meadowlark  Lemon. 


BIOLOGY  STUDENT 
WINS  NATIONAL  SCHOLARSHIP 


Katharine  "Katie"  Laing  '93  is  this 
year's  sole  recipient  of  the  presti- 
gious Our  World-Underwater  Schol- 
arship. The  award  carries  a  $10,000 
cash  prize  which  can  be  used  for  travel 
and  research  around  the  world. 

Laing,  a  May  cum  laude  graduate 
.in  biology  with  an  emphasis  on  marine 
science  and  a  minor  in  chemistry,  has 
conducted  research  ranging  from  ma- 
rine algal  genetics  to  ecological  studies 
of  estuaries  and  other  coastal  environ- 
ments. As  an  OW-U  scholar,  she  will 
also  receive  diving  gear,  wet  and  dry 


suits,  underwater 
photography 
training  and 
equipment,  and  a 
Rolex  diving 
watch. 

Laing     has 
been  accepted  by 
the  Florida  Insti- 
tute of  Techno- 
logy's biological  oceanography,  pro- 
gram, but  will  delay  enrolling  in  gradu- 
ate school  until  she  completes  her  year 
as  an  OW-U  scholar. 


$191,186  Grant 
Awarded  to 
Study  How 
Children  Learn 


It  doesn't  take  an  expert  to  know 
there  are  differences  between  men 
and  women.  However,  it  does  take  an 
expert  to  know  why  the  differences 
exist.  InJune,UNCW  psychology  pro- 
fessor William  H.  Overman  was 
awarded  $191,186  by  the  National 
Institute  of  Mental  Health  to  fund 
three  years  of  research  to  determine 
whether  learning  differences  between 
boys  and  girls  are  biological  or  learned. 

Overman,  a  specialist  in  the  brain 
and  behavior,  has  developed  two  game 
tasks  which  are  designed  to  show  learn- 
ing differences.  The  games,  targeted 
for  children  18  months  to  4  years  old, 
teach  learning  through  reward. 

While  similar  studies  have  been 
done  with  adult  humans  and  monkeys, 
Overman's  research  is  the  first  of  its 
kind  to  be  done  with  children.  Similar 
studies  done  with  monkeys  have  shown 
conclusively  that  learning  differences 
are  biologically  determined  and  can  be 
reversed  with  hormones. 

As  adults,  men  tend  to  be  stronger 
than  females  at  mental  rotation  tasks, 
such  as  map  reading,  while  women  are 
verbally  stronger  than  men.  It  Overman 
finds  that  these  differences  are  learned, 
the  next  step  would  be  to  determine 
whether  it  is  possible  to  teach  children 
to  be  equally  good  at  either  task.  If  the 
study  indicates  the  differences  are  bio- 
logical, there  could  be  significant  medi- 
cal implications,  particularly  where 
hormones  administered  during  preg- 
nancy are  concerned.

Master's  Degree  in  Psychology  Coming  in  Fall  '94 


The  University  of  North  Carolina 
at  Wilmington  will  offer  a  master 
of  arts  degree  in  psychology  beginning

ogy. The  second  curriculum  is  an  ap- 
plied concentration  with  a  specific  fo- 
cus on  therapy  for  substance  abuse 
problems. 

The  state  Department  of  Human 
Resources  has  identified  graduate  train- 
ing of  substance  abuse  counselors  as 
one  of  the  state's  most  critical  mental 
health  needs.  Students  completing  a 
degree  in  the  applied  concentration 
will  have  completed  all  academic  re- 
quirements necessary  to  be  certified  as 


a  substance  abuse  counselor  in  North 
Carolina  and  would  be  prepared  to 
apply  for  a  state  Psychological  Associ- 
ate License. 

For  more  information  on  the  M.  A. 
program  in  psychology,  call  Dr.  Kate 
Bruce,  graduate  coodinator,  or  Dr. 
Andy  Jackson,  psychology  department 
chair,  at  395-3370.  Applications  for

As  a  1972  graduate  of  the  University  of  North  Carolina  at  Wilmington,  I  am 
honored  to  have  been  selected  as  the  director  of  alumni  relations.  Having 
been  an  advocate  for  UNCW  for  many  years,  I  am  eager  to  direct  my  professional

Directors  has  also  afforded  me  opportunities  to  continue  to  feel  grounded  with 

UNCW.  The  pride  I  feel  for  the  university  and  its  potential  is  sublime! 
{  j  I  welcome  your  comments,  concerns,  "wish  lists"  and  visions  for  future

BUSINESS 

UNC  Wilmington's  Cameron  School  of  Business  Administration  earns 
top-notch  accreditation,  thanks  in  part  to  its  graduates 


By  Mary  Ellen  Polson 


As  the  owner  of  a  small  business  that  computerizes 
inventory  management  and  accounting  systems 
for  industrial  and  construction  supply  companies, 
Jay  Stokley,  Jr.  '73  sees  the  inner  work- 
ings of  literally  hundreds  of  small  busi- 
nesses. 

What  he  learns  surprises  him.  "I'm 
amazed  at  how  little  some  managers 
know  about  how  their  business  is  gener- 
ated, how  it's  accounted  for,  or  how  it 
grows,  because  those  managers  never 
got  any  formal  training,"  said  Stokley, 
who  founded  Atlantic  Computer  Corp. 
in  Wilmington  1 1  years  ago.  "I've  gone 
in  to  very  successful  companies  whose 
managers  couldn't  read  a  balance  sheet 
or  an  income  statement  and  thought, 
'what  could  these  fellows  accomplish  if 
they'd  had  the  training?'  " 

Stokley  parlayed  experience  gained 
while  a  business  administration  major 
at  UNC  Wilmington  into  a  job  that 
eventually  led  him  to  found  his  own 
company.  His  education  "not  only 
helped  me  to  build  a  business,  but  has 
helped  me  to  manage  one  also,"  Stokley  said. 

Stokley  is  just  one  of  hundreds  of  successful  graduates  of 
UNCW's  business  school,  since  1983  the  Cameron  School 
of  Business  Administration.  The  program  has  made  a  pro-

"Within  two  years  of  graduating 
I  was  chief  financial  officer  for  a 
large  medical  center.  The  busi-

found  difference  not  only  in  the  lives  of  its  alumni,  but  in 
greater  Southeastern  North  Carolina  as  well. 

"The  Cape  Fear  region  has  always  had  sort  of  a  propri- 
etary interest  in  the  university,"  said 
Dr.  Norman  Kaylor,  a  professor  of  ac- 
countancy who  served  as  the  Cameron 
School's  dean  from  1979to  1992. "They 
felt  like  it  was  theirs  —  not  from  a 
dictatorial  point  of  view,  but  as  apride- 
of-ownership  kind  of  thing.  'This  is 
ours;  we  started  it.'  Especially  the  busi- 
ness community." 

This  year,  the  accomplishments  of 
the  Cameron  School  were  formally  ac- 
knowledged when  the  American  As- 
sembly of  Collegiate  Schools  of  Busi- 
ness accredited  the  school's  undergradu- 
ate and  graduate  programs.  The  desig- 
nation places  the  Cameron  School  in 
elite  company  such  as  the  Kenan-Flagler 
Business  School  at  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  at  Chapel  Hill  and  the 
Fuqua  School  of  Business  at  Duke  Uni- 
versity. Only  20  percent  of  the  country's 
undergraduate  business  programs  and 
less  than  half  of  all  M.B.A.  programs  have  earned  accredita- 
tion by  the  AACSB. 

There  is  other  good  news.  On  July  1,  Dr.  Howard  O 
Rockness,  formerly  associate  dean  for  the  M.B.A.  program  at

UNC's  Kenan-Flagler  Business  School,  joined  the  business 
school  faculty  as  its  dean.  It  was  a  two-for-one  coup  for  the 
Cameron  School:  Dr.  Joanne  Rockness,  professor  of  ac- 
counting and  an  associate  dean  at  N.C.  State  University  and 
the  new  dean's  wife,  will  also  join  the  faculty  as  Cameron 
Professor  of  Accountancy.  As  dean,  Howard  Rockness  will 
oversee  a  faculty  of  55  with  responsibility  for  1,600  business 
majors  and  M.B.A.  students. 

Business  courses  were  among  the  first  classes  offered  at 
the  tiny  community  college  first  known  as  Wilmington 
College  and  later  the  University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Wilmington.  "When  I  came  here  in  the  early  '70s,  the 
university  was  about  the  size  our  business  school  is  now," 
Kaylor  said.  Of  the  50  or  60  business  majors  that  graduated 
every  year,  the  vast  majority  were  local.  "Of  course,  that's  not 
true  now.  They're  coming  from  all  over  the  state,  and  we've 
got  out-of-state  and  international  students  here." 

Because  so  many  of  the  school's  alumni  are  recent  gradu- 
ates, you  won't  find  the  names  of  many  UNCW  business  school 
alumni  on  the  mastheads  of  national  corporations  —  yet. 

But  you  will  routinely  find  the  names  of  UNCW 
graduates  among  the   top  three  scorers  on   the  state 


Certified  Public  Accountants'  exam,  among  them 
Rachel  Vance  Dodge  '87  (gold  medalist),  Robert  Jo- 
seph Hollis  '90,  and  Garland  Atkinson  Boyd  '92.  Oth- 
ers are  forging  careers  in  banking  institutions  and  in- 
dustry throughout  the  Southeast.  And,  like  Stokley, 
many  business  school  graduates  have  gone  on  to  create 
their  own  businesses. 

Among  the  school's  most  successful  entrepreneurs  is 
Michael  W.  Barton  '68,  the  president  and  CEO  of  Health 
Horizons  Inc.  in  Nashville,  Tenn.  Barton,  who  co-founded 
the  company  in  January  1992 ,  expects  the  health  care  firm  to 
own  and  operate  nine  outpatient  surgery  centers  from  San 
Francisco  to  Greenville,  S.C.,  by  the  close  of  the  year.  Health 
Horizons'  annualized  revenues  are  expected  to  reach  $30 
million  this  year. 

Barton  speaks  fondly  of  UNCW's  business  program, 
where  he  majored  in  accounting.  Even  in  its  early  years, 
when  its  complement  of  faculty  was  small,  the  school  still 
provided  its  students  with  a  firm  foundation.  "Within  two 
years  of  graduating,  I  was  chief  financial  officer  for  a  large 
medical  center,"  Barton  said.  "The  school  prepared  me  so 
that  from  a  knowledge  standpoint  I  was  able  to  handle 
that  job."

Barton  attributes  part  of  his  readi- 
ness to  the  fact  that  several  of  his 
instructors  either  had  work  experience 
in  industry  or  were  actively  engaged  as 
business  consultants — something  that 
continues  to  be  a  tradition  at  the 
Cameron  School  of  Business.  "Part  of 
the  flavor  of  the  classes  was  in  relating 
real-life  situations  in  the  classrooms," 
Barton  said. 

Almost  universally,  business  school 
alumni  praise  the  practical  teaching  they 
received  as  crucial  to  their  later  success. 
"In  particular  in  Dr.  (Claude)  Farrell's 
classes,  he  had  us  thinking  in  terms  of 
real-life  situations  rather  than  just  text- 
book situations,"  said  Brad  Donnell  76, 
who  owns  a  small  Wilmington  printing 
company,  Linprint. 

Farrell's  tests  could  accurately  be 
described  as  true  or  false,  but  they  were 
in  reality  essay  tests,  Donnell  said.  A 
typical  test  might  have  two  true  or 
false  questions,  and  it  was  up  to  the 
student  to  defend  his  or  her  choice. 
"He  didn't  care  which  side  of  the  coin 
you  took,  provided  you  backed  it  up 
with  economic  thought,"  Donnell  said. 

Donnell  finds  he  relies  on  eco- 
nomic theories  he  learned  in  school  in 
making  real-life  business  decisions.  "Es- 
pecially in  a  small  business,  you  have  a 
tendency  tor  the  business  to  chase  you, 
rather  than  you  getting  a  handle  on 
the  business,"  he  said.  "I  think  the 
background  in  the  business  school  gives 
you  an  opportunity  to  make  the  busi- 
ness work  better." 

"One  thing  the  UNCW  program 
really  focused  on  is  team  building," 
said  Peggy  Baddour,  '82,  '88,  whose 
two  sisters  also  hold  or  are  working  on 
advanced  degrees  at  UNCW.  "That 
helps  you  work  with  people  when  you 
get  out  in  the  real  world." 


As  manager  of  all  personal  and 
networked  computer  systems,  Baddour 
works  with  every  department  at  New 
Hanover  Regional  Medical  Center. 
Having  an  understanding  of  how  all 
departments  work  together  is  crucial 
to  the  successful  management  of  her 
job,  she  said. 

Business  school  was  an  easy  choice 
for  Malcomb  Coley  '86,  '89,  who  de- 
cided to  major  in  accounting  when  he 
aced  the  first  accounting  course  he 
took  at  UNCW.  "I  thought  this  was 
going  to  be  an  easy  major,"  he  said. 
"Boy,  did  I  get  fooled." 

Coley,  who 
graduated  as  the 
only  minority 
accounting  ma- 
jor in  his  class, 
was  impressed 
enough  with 
UNCW's  un- 
dergraduate 
business  pro- 
gram to  enroll  in 
the  school's 
M.B.A.  pro- 
gram, which  he 
raced  through  in 
a  year  and  a  half. 
After  teaching 
full  time  at  N.C. 
Central  Univer- 
sity in  Durham 
and  St.  Augus- 
tine's College  in 

Raleigh  tor  two  years,  he  sensed  he  still 
needed  further  education.  "The  only 
thing  I  knew  in  accounting  was  the 
theoretical,"  he  said.  "1  had  no  practi- 
cal experience  in  accounting." 

In  search  of  "the  best  real-world 
experience,"  he  joined  the  Raleigh  of- 
fice of  one  of  the  six  largest  interna-

Young.  Rather  than  crunching  num-

interacting  with  people  —  "from  presi-

staff  accountants,"  he  said.

health  care  or  in-

'73,  a  partner  with 
the  Wilmington 
office  of  McGlad-

ninth  largest  inter- 
national account-

think   the   same 
way  about  special-

in  the  profession, 
he's  changed  his 
mind.  "I  teel  like  the 
job  ot  the  university  is  to  give  the  future 
business  or  accounting  major  basic  skills 
of  learning,"  Clewis  said.  "Then  let  the 
accounting  firm,  the  Du  Ponts,  or  the

learned  tor  that  industry."

UNCW  accountancy  graduates.  Of  10 
certified  public  accountants  on  the  staff 
of  Murray,  Thomson  &.  Co.  CPAs,  seven 
have  degrees  from  UNCW,  including 
both  partners,  said  Mary  Thomson  '8 1 . 
Three  of  the  six  partners  in  the 
Wilmington  office  of  McGladrey  &. 
Pullen  have  ties  to  UNCW,  said  Clewis. 
Among  them  is  UNCW  Board  of  Trust- 
ees Chairman  Robert  F.  Warwick  '55,  a 
Wilmington  College  alum. 

Over  the  years,  there's  been  an 
unusually  close  relationship 
between  the  business  school 
and  the  regional  business  community. 
The  families  of  area  businessmen  Bruce 
B.  and  Dan  D.  Cameron  have  been 
major  benefactors  of  the  school, 
named  in  their  honor  in  1983. 
Other  benefactors  have  included 
United  Carolina  Bank,  which  en- 
dowed a  professorship  in  banking 
and  finance;  NationsBank,  which 
established  the  NCNB  Scholars 
Program;  and  Wachovia,  which 
endowed  the  Wachovia  Fund  for 
Excellence. 


Kaylor  credits  local  business  lead- 
ers as  the  driving  force  behind  the 
establishment  of  a  Master  of  Business 
Administration  program  at  UNCW. 
Discouraged  from  submitting  a  pro- 
posal by  the  University  of  North  Caro- 
lina system,  business  school  leaders 
initiated  a  survey  of  area  businesses  to 
bolster  their  case. 

"Instead  of  answering  the  survey, 
people  from  a  lot  of  our  major  firms 
started  writing  letters  to  General  Ad- 
ministration," Kaylor  said.  "GA 
thought  we  were  asking  them  to  do 
that.  We  weren't." 

UNCW  got  its  M.B.  A.  program  in 
1 982.  Courses  are  offered  only  at  night; 
students  tend  to  be  employees  of  large 
area  corporations  like  DuPont,  GE  and 
Corning. 

Peggy  Baddour,  who  completed 
her  M.B. A.  in  three  years  of  night 
classes,  found  she  became  closer  to  the 
faculty  as  a  graduate  student.  "The 
classes  were  a  lot  smaller  and  it  was 
more  intimate;  more  of  a  peer-to-peer 
relationship  rather  than  faculty  to  stu- 
dent," she  said.

Once  Baddour  graduated,  "I  no- 
ticed a  significant  difference  in  myself 
on  the  job,"  she  said.  "I  had  more 
confidence  and  therefore  I  could  be 
more  of  a  mentor  to  others." 

Kaylor  believes  the  Cameron 
School  should  have  received  its 
AACSB  accreditation  in  1992.  But 
two  things  happened  to  delay  that:  A 
new  chancellor,  Dr.  James  R.  Leutze, 
had  just  come  on  board,  and  Kaylor  — 
after  22  years  as  either  department 
chair  or  dean  —  had  resigned  to  return 
to  teaching.  When  Kaylor  went  to 
Washington,  D.C.,  to  collect  what  he 
expected  to  be  the  crowning  achieve- 
ment of  his  career,  AACSB  officials 
told  him,  "  'We  want  you  to  take  one 
more  year,' "  he  said. "  'We  just  want  to 
see  that  there  are  no  major  changes  in 
having  a  new  chancellor  and  a  new 
dean.'  " 

So  another  year  passed.  Associate 
Professor  of  Management  Science  John 
M.  Anderson  served  as  interim  dean 
while  the  search  for  a  new  dean  pro- 
gressed. Shortly  after  it  was  announced 
that  Howard  Rockness  had  been  tapped 
for  the  job,  the  school  received  word  of 
the  accreditation.  "It  didn't  hurt  that  we 
got  someone  of  Dr.  Rockness's  stature  to 
come  in  and  replace  me,"  Kaylor  said. 
"He'll  do  an  excellent  job." 

Kaylor  foresees  a  continuing 
relationship  between  the  busi- 
ness school  and  the  region  under 
the  new  dean.  "We've  always 
looked  at  our  constituents  as 
the   people   of  Southeastern 
North  Carolina,"  he  said.  "Our 
job  is  simply  to  prepare  people 
to  enter  the  job  market  and  be 
productive." 

Clearly,  the  school  serves 
its  constituency  well.  "I  think 
a  solid  business  program  gives 
our  community  an  asset  to 
sell  to  potential  businesses  and 
other  institutions  we  might 
be  trying  to  recruit  to  our 
area,"  said  Clewis.  "I'm  just 
tickled  to  death  at  the  progress 
they've  made  and  the  path 
they've  taken."  W

Stories  by  Jeff  Holeman 

It  was  2  a.m.,  and  I  had  just  com- 
pleted my  first  watch  aboard  the 
sttipped-down  sailboat  that 
would  be  my  home  for  a  week. 
Dianne  King  and  Trey  Hamlin 
steered  the  65-foot  yacht  into  the 
deep  waters  of  the  Gulf  Stream  be- 
tween Miami  and  the  Bahamas. 

It  had  already  been  an  event- 
ful night.  We'd  set  sail  about 
midnight.  My  partner  on  watch 
was  partially  deaf  and  it  was  a 
struggle  to  make  myself  heard 
above  the  sound  of  the  wind  and 
waves.  We'd  sailed  in  circles  for 
half  an  hour  —  at  one  point  we 
were  even  headed  back  to  Miami. 

I  was  too  wound  up  to  sleep,  so  I 
stayed  up  top.  Dianne  was  at  the 
wheel,  and  Trey  went  to  the  galley 
to  fix  the  three  of  us  some  hot 
chocolate.  I  went  below  to  use  the 
head,  leaving 
Dianne  alone  on 
deck.  Suddenly,  the 
boat  began  to  sway 
heavily  in  the  roar- 
ing surf.  Down  be- 
low, I  was  thrown 
to  the  floor  as  the  boat  was 
broadsided  by  a  wave.  I  scrambled 
to  get  buck  on  deck.  As  1  ran  up 
the  steps,  all  i  covld  see  was  a  ter- 
rified Dianne  and  the  wheel  spin- 
ning like  the  one  in  the  opening 
credits  of  Gilligan's  Island. 

Together,  Dianne  and  1  man- 
aged to  regain  control  of  the  boat. 
We  breathed  a  sigh  of  relief —  only 
to  erupt  with  laughter  as  Trey 
walked  up,  covered  from  head  to  toe 
with  hot  chocolate. 

We  had  survived  our  first  night 
on  the  Wellness  Cruise.

somewhere  in  the  Bahamas. 


The  Wellness  Cruise  is  a  tradi- 
tion that  bonds  dozens  of  alumni 
who've  patticipated  over  the  last  13 
years.  Every  year,  about  16  UNCW 
students  join  the  Rev.  Bob  Haywood, 
an  interdenominational  campus  min- 
ister at  UNCW,  and  his  wife 
Deborah,  director  of  the  LivWELL 
Center  tor  Health  Promotion,  on  the 
annual  spring  break  event. 

While  a  week  aboard  a  bareboat 
in  the  Bahamas  might  sound  like 
pute  fun,  part  of  the  purpose  ot  the 
ctuise  is  to  challenge  students  to 
think  and  explore.  We  had  met  as  a 


group  a  couple  ot  times  before  we 
embarked  on  our  cruise,  but  most  ot 
us  were  more  or  less  strangers  as  we 
left  the  dock  at  Miami.  That  quickly 
changed  as  we  coped  with  living  at 
close  quarters  and  came  to  depend 
on  one  another  tor  fellowship  and 
personal  safety. 

Once  we  arrived  and  cleared 
customs  at  Bimini  Harbor,  we  were 
given  work  assignments  tor  the  week. 
After  all,  we  were  the  boat's  crew. 
There  were  anchor,  trash,  deck,  din- 
ghy, ladder,  and  canopy  crews.  All  ot

A  different  kind  of  learning 
on  the  Wellness  Cruise 


For  many  college  students, 
spring  break  means  beaches 
and  booze.  A  week-long 
bareboat  cruise  to  the  Bahamas  would 
prove  no  different  for  many.  But  the 
UNCW  Wellness  Cruise,  now  in  its 
14th  year,  takes  a  different  approach. 
There's  no  beer  on  board,  and  the  16 
or  so  students  that  participate  each 
year  find  they  don't  miss  it. 

"At  the  end  of  the  week,  they 
say,  'you  really  can  have  fun  without 
alcohol,'  "  said  Deborah  Haywood, 
who  coordinates  the  trip  with  her 
husband,  Bob. 

Any  student  at  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  Wilmington  may  go 
on  the  cruise,  co-sponsored  by  United 
Christian  Campus  Ministry  and 
LivWELL  Center  for  Health  Promo- 
tion. Applications  are  taken  after  fall 
break  each  year,  and  the  cruise  fills 
quickly.  Students  meet  at  least  three 
times  in  advance  of  the  trip  to  get  to 
know  one  another  and  discuss  expec- 
tations and  guidelines. 

The  cruise  is  centered  around  ex- 
periential learning  and  personal  chal- 
lenges, emphasizing  the  six  dimen- 
sions of  wellness:  physical,  occupa- 
tional, spiritual,  intellectual,  emo- 
tional and  environmental.  Students 
help  plan  the  trip  and  serve  as  crew 
while  on  board.  They're  discouraged 
from  bringing  radios  and  even  watches, 
so  there  are  few  distractions  to  inhibit 
students  from  getting  the  most  out  of 
the  challenging  natural  environment 
that  surrounds  them. 

While  the  trip  is  supervised,  the 
Haywoods  aren't  guardians.  "I  always 
tell  them,  'We're  not  your  parents,'  " 
said  Deborah  Haywood,  who  directs 
UNCW's  LivWELL  Center.  "We  shift 
gears  and  we're  Bob  and  Deborah." 

"A  lot  of  people  wouldn't  think 
of  sailing  with  the  minister  and  his 


wife,"  said  Bob 
Haywood.  "This  and  the 
fact  that  there  is  no  al- 
cohol causes  people  to 
self  select.  In  turn,  this 
often  makes  for  a  good 
crew." 

The  challenges  start 
as  soon  as  the  boat  de- 
parts for  the  Bahamas. 
"One  of  the  things  that 
surprises  them  is  we  sail 
from  Miami  at  mid- 
night," said  Bob 
Haywood.  After  a  dis- 
cussion of  safety  precau- 
tions, "the  captain  as- 
signs duties  and  the  stu- 
dents take  over  as  crew. 
They  have  to  face  all  this 
unknown  stuff,  which 
scares  them.  When  they 
get  there  the  next  day,  they're  proud." 

Rough  crossings  aren't  unusual. 
"I've  always  been  touched  by  how  stu- 
dents care  for  one  another  if  someone's 
not   feeling   well,"    said    Deborah

us  had  to  work  together;  each  job 
was  important  to  our  safety  and  well 
being.  In  addition,  we  were  also  as- 
signed cooking  and  cleaning  duties. 
If  we  wanted  to  eat,  we  had  to  cook. 
Once  the  work  details  were  as- 
signed, we  set  sail  for  Turtle  Rocks, 
rock  formations  and  reefs  near 
Bimini  that  stick  out  of  the  water 
like  basking  turtles.  This  was  our  first 
chance  to  snorkel  and  swim.  The  un- 
derwater world  was  breathtaking, 
tilled  with  colorful  fish  and  barracu- 
das that  followed  our  every  move.  A 
10-foot-long  nurse  shark  circled  us  as 
we  explored  this  strange  world. 


and  even  drank  some  of  the  milk.  It 
was  a  welcome  end  to  a  tiring  day. 
After  dinner  and  clean  up,  we 
headed  for  the  Berry  Islands,  about 
eight  hours  across  the  Tongue  of  the 
Ocean,  a  mysterious  stretch  of  deep, 
navy  blue  water  that  parallels  the 
shallow,  azure  water  of  the  Bahama 
Flats. 

On  day  two,  we  visited  Whale 
Cay.  Most  of  us  took  advantage  of 
the  opportunity  to  snorkel  in  and 
around  a  submerged  barge  that  had 
sunk  offshore.  We  had  to  hurry  be- 
cause the  tide  was  rising,  making  the 
underwater  currents  swift  and  dan- 


realized  I  may  have  saved  her  life. 
Although  we  never  talk  about  it,  I 
feel  that  we  still  share  a  special  bond 
because  of  this  encounter. 

By  day  three,  time  had  become 
irrelevant.  There  was  a  time  to  swim, 
a  time  to  sleep,  a  time  to  eat,  and  a 
time  to  do  whatever  you  chose,  but 
never  time  to  ask  "What  time  is  it?" 

One  of  the  cruise's  regular  stops 
was  at  Frozen  and  Alder  cays,  two 
beautiful,  formerly  untouched  islands 
that  were  side  by  side.  When  we  ar- 
rived, we  discovered  that  a  marina 
had  been  carved  into  the  coral  and 
docks  were  being

Bimini  islands  for  the  Jokers,  a  chain 
of  islands  with  a  beautiful  reef. 

Swimming  through  the  reef  was 
like  exploring  a  maze.  We  collected 
conchs  to  cook  later  as  conch  fritters

barge  for  a  short  while  and  headed 
back  to  the  shore  to  explore  for  sea 
biscuits  and  sand  dollars. 

Arinn  Williams,  a  sophomore, 
had  made  it  safely  to  the  barge,  but 
started  to  tire  and  struggle  on  the 
way  back.  I  took  off  to  help  her  al- 
most instinctively.  She  was  about  to 
go  under  when  I  reached  her  and 
helped  her  get  back  to  shore.  Later  I 


constructed  for  wealthy  pleasure 
seekers  to  park  their  yachts.  The  de- 
velopers were  even  filling  in  a

seemed  a  shame  that  such  a  beautiful 
place,  once  open  to  all  comers,  had 
been  turned  into  a  private  playground. 

We  climbed  to  the  top  of  Fro- 
zen Cay  and  found  a  cairn,  a  struc- 
ture made  ot  piled  rocks,  where  pre-

others.  It  was  a  tradition  tor 
Wellness  Cruise  members  to  leave 
messages  for  the  students  who  would 
sail  on  the  next  year's  cruise.  Sure 
enough,  we  saw  messages  from  other 
Seahawks.  Later,  we  fished  and  sailed 
a  little  farther  north.

After  exploring  the  serene  re- 
mains of  an  old  English  settlement 
that  had  failed  due  to  a  lack  of  fresh 
water,  I  went  for  a  spontaneous  snor- 
keling  session  on  the  other  side  of 


schools  of  fish  that  would  let  you 
swim  in  the  midst  of  them.  After 
lunch,  we  traveled  to  Bimini  to  take 
a  freshwater  shower  with  real  soap 
and  shampoo  —  our  first  of  the 
week.  (Our  daily  bathing  ritual  on

ashore  on

reached  Big  Blue  Hole,  a 
giant  sinkhole  filled  with 
clear  water,  in  the  middle 
of  the  island.  In  no  time,  Bob 
Haywood  had  jumped  off  a  20-foot 
cliff  into  the  water. 

I've  always  been  afraid  of  heights 
and  I  had  to  muster  all  my  courage 
just  to  throw  myself  over  the  edge.  I 
fell  like  a  rock  into  the  deep  pit  be- 
low and  hit  the  water  with  a  splash. 
This  was  just  one  more  challenge  in 
what  had  been  a  week  of  challenges

had  throughout  the  week  were

The  spontaneity  of  the  trip 

was  partially  what  made  it  so  special. 

Day  five  brought  an  encounter 
with  a  school  of  sharks  at  Market 
Fish  Cay.  I  swam  with  what  at  first 
was  just  one  hammerhead  and 
shortly  turned  into  a  school  swirling 
beneath  me,  attacking  a  fish.  I  was 
alone,  so  1  returned  to  the  boat  in

he  awards  ceremony  came  off 
with  pomp  and  panoply,  and 
all  three  winners  of  the  1993 
Albert  Schweitzer  International 
Prizes  gave  speeches  that  revealed 
their  exceptional  accomplishments. 
But  it  was  the  intimate  gather- 
ings that  took  place  during 
Schweitzer  Week  (Match  14-18) 
that  revealed  the  exceptional  natures 
of  Brother  Dominique  Catta,  Sir 
John  Wilson  and  Robert  Muller. 

There  were  more  than  a  dozen 
opportunities  for  students,  faculty, 
staff  and  members  of  the  community 
to  meet  and  talk  with  the  prize  win- 


ners, beginning  with  a  student-ar- 
ranged reception  for  the  French-born 
Catta,  winner  of  the  Schweitzer  Prize 
for  Music,  on  Monday  March  14- 
Dressed  in  a  simple  white  cassock  se- 
cured by  a  long  black  belt,  Catta  said 
little,  apologizing  for  his  lack  of  En- 
glish through  Robert  Fessler,  a  col- 
league who  served  as  an  interpreter. 

Despite  the  language  barrier, 
Catta  charmed  students  and  digni- 
taries alike  with  his  warmth  and  wills, 
ingness  to  listen.  Even  though  he 
spoke  only  French,  "you  understood 
what  he  was  saying,"  said  Jeff 
Holeman,  a  senior  who  helped  orga- 


nize several  Schweitzer  Week  events. 
"He  made  you  laugh.  He  gave  you  a 
feeling  of  ease." 

And  when  he  wanted  to  reach 
several  people  at  once,  Catta 
played  his  kora.  The  stringed,  drum- 
like instrument  is  the  medium  tor  a 
new  West  African  musical  liturgy 
Catta  helped  create  in  his  30-year 
tenure  at  the  Benedictine  monastery 
of  Keur  Moussa,  Senegal.  Whenever 
"more  than  a  handful  of  people  ap- 
peared, Catta  staged  impromptu  con- 
certs on  the  instrument,  which  pro- 
duced a  surprisingly  light,  harp-like

Looking  something  like  an  over- 
sized guitar  with  a  long  neck  and  a 
fat,  bulbous  base  (a  dried  gourd  cov- 
ered with  cow  or  goat  skin),  the  kora 
rests  on  a  stand  in  front  of  the  per- 
former, who  kneels  to  play.  The 
player  may  choose  to  perform  on  sev- 
eral koras  arranged  in  front  of  him  at 
once  (there  are  soprano,  alto  and 
tenor  koras),  usually  with  other  play- 
ers. At  Keur  Moussa,  there  are  whole 
choirs  of  koras. 

"It  is  very  hard  to  give  an  im- 
pression of  what  it  is  like  at  the  mon- 
astery, because  there  are  35  broth- 
ers," Catta  told  a  group  of  about  30 
in  an  upstairs  room  at  the  University 
Union,  through  Robert  Fessler.  "It's 
much  more  dynamic." 

While  Albert  Schweitzer  was 
moved  by  the  organ  music  of  Bach, 
Catta's  great  love  is  for  Gregorian 
chant.  In  his  early  years  at  Keur 
Moussa,  he  discovered  chant  had 
musical  similarities  to  traditional 
music  played  on  the  kora  by  griots, 
the  storytellers  of  West  Africa.  "For 
Brother  Catta,  music  is  the  universal 
language  that  goes  beyond  words, 
provided  that  the  music  comes  from 
the  heart,"  said  Fessler,  interpreting 
for  Catta,  "provided  that  it  springs 
from  our  spirituality,  our  inner  being, 
as  a  gift  for  other  people." 

Catta  performed  on  a  series  of 
koras  in  Kenan  Auditorium  at  the 
Thursday,  March  18  awards  cer- 
emony, then  closed  out  Schweitzer 
Week  on  Friday,  March  19  with  a 
spur-of-the-moment  concert  ar- 
ranged by  WHQR  Public  Radio, 
held  at  St.  John's  Museum  of  Art. 
The  museum's  Hughes  Gallery  filled 
so  quickly  that  museum  staffers  were 
turning  people  away  almost  as  soon 
as  the  doors  opened. 

The  Schweitzer  Week  schedule 
included  an  organ  concert,  a  lecture 
on  Schweitzer,  a  performance  by  the 
Wilmington  Symphony  and  a  one- 
act  play  on  the  life  of  Schweitzer's 
wife,  as  well  as  the  awards  ceremony. 
Despite  the  busy  schedule,  all  three

prize  winners  were  available  for  in- 
formal daytime  sessions  in  the  Uni- 
versity Union. 

Robert  Muller,  winner  ot  the 
Schweitzer  Prize  for  Humanities,  told 
a  room  full  of  students  that  he  en- 
tered the  French  resistance  during 
World  War  II  after  the  Germans  told 
him  he  would  be  fined  if  he  spoke 
Alsatian.  "I  do  not  like  to  be  fined 
for  speaking  the  language  of  my  two 
grandfathers,"  he  said. 

Raised  in  Alsace-Lorraine, 
(which,  coincidentally,  was  Albert 
Schweitzer's  homeland),  Muller  and 
his  family  lived  on  a  border  that  con- 
stantly shifted,  placing  them  at  times 
in  France  and  at  times  in  Germany. 
But  life  straddling  a  border  has  its  re- 
wards. Muller  told  the  group  that  it 
was  great  to  be  from  Alsace-Lorraine 
because  "we  eat  delicious  French 
food  on  big  German  plates." 

After  the  war,  Muller  decided  to 
devote  his  life  to  peace.  He  returned 
to  Alsace-Lorraine  to  complete  his 
education.  While  riding  on  a  train, 
he  saw  an  advertisement  for  an  essay 
contest  sponsored  by  the  French 
U.N.  Association.  There  wasn't  any- 
thing to  read  on  the  train,  so  he 
wrote  an  essay.  It  was  chosen  as  the 
contest  winner,  and  Muller  joined 
the  U.N.  Secre 
tariat  the  fol- 
lowing year. 
He  rose  to  the 
rank  of  assis- 
tant secretary- 
general  during 
his  38 
years 
with 
the 


United  Nations  and  worked  directly 
with  U  Thant,  Kurt  Waldheim  and 
Javier  Perez  de  Cuellar. 

During  his  stay,  Muller  visited 
with  members  of  Wilmington's  U.N. 
Association,  which  sponsors  a  local 
celebration  of  U.N.  Day  each  Octo- 
ber. "He  has  a  real  concern  tor  the 
people  of  the  world  and  is  full  of  en- 
thusiasm about  the  future,"  said  Vir- 
ginia Sherman,  president  of  the  local 
association.  "He  is  able  to  pass  that 
enthusiasm  on  to  other  people." 

That  enthusiasm  helped  the  or- 
ganization attract  several  new  mem- 
bers. Muller  challenged  several 
young  people,  one  ot  the  authors  in- 
cluded, to  learn  more  about  the 
United  Nations  by  joining  the  local 
U.N.  association. 

A  few  days  before  he  retired 
from  the  United  Nations  in  1986, 
Muller  accepted  the  job  of  first  chan- 
cellor ot  the  University  ot  Peace  in 
Costa  Rica  tor  $1  a  year.  The  univer- 
sity sits  on  5,000  acres  of  virgin 
Costa  Rican  rain  forest. 

Many  ot  its  students  come  to 
study  international  relations.  "It's  a 
new  university  which  has  the  advan- 
tage of  concentrating  on  one  sub- 
ject," said  Muller,  who 

teaches  a  class 
on  planetary 
law.  The  uni- 
versity offers 
courses  cov- 
ering

role  of  non-governmental  organi- 
zations and  the  emergence  ot 
world  law. 

Although  its  courses  of  study  are 
far-reaching,  the  university  is  tiny, 
with  only  60  students.  "I  tell  them 
Jesus  had  only  12  apostles,  so  we  are 
five  times  as  numerous  and  we  can 
change  the  world,"  Muller  said. 

The  Schweitzer  committee 
clearly  got  two  for  the  price  of  one 
when  they  selected  Sir  John  Wilson, 
the  winner  of  the  Schweitzer  Prize 
for  Medicine.  Together  with  his  wife, 
Lady  Jean,  Wilson  pioneered  re- 
search in  the  causes  of  preventative 
blindness  in  much  of  the  developing 
world.  The  Wilsons,  who  began  their 
research  after  the  close  of  World 
War  II,  have  logged  more  than  1.8 
million  miles  together,  traveling  to 
more  than  100  countries. 

The  Wilsons,  who  live  in  Sur- 
rey, England,  were  instrumental  in 
recognizing  the  causes  of  river  blind- 
ness, a  preventable  disease  that  dis- 
abled millions  in  Africa.  In  the 
1950s,  the  Wilsons  found  whole  vil- 
lages in  northern  Ghana  that  had 
been  blinded  by  insects  that  swarmed 
out  of  the  river  at  night. 

The  villagers  thought  nothing 
was  unusual  about  John  Wilson,  who 
has  been  blind  since  he  was  12,  but 
found  his  wife  quite  odd.  "I  was  in 
my  20s  and  still  able  to  see,"  she  said. 
In  such  villages,  "you  just  expected 
blindness  like  you  expected  old  age, 
it  was  as  matter-of-fact  as  that." 

The  Wilsons  enlisted  the  help  of 
the  World  Bank  to  isolate  the  cause 
of  the  disease  and  successfully  con- 
trol it.  They  also  helped  set  up  more 
than  50  schools  and  more  than  two 
dozen  farm  training  centers  for  the 
blind,  mainly  in  Africa.  "And  then 
we  attended  to  Asia,"  John  Wilson 
said.  "Then  we  extended  it  on  a  glo- 
bal scale.  And  now  we're  doing  it  on 
a  much  bigger  scale  with  the  United 
Nations,  doing  something  about 
avoidable  disability.  People  always 
think  the  United  Nations  simply 
looks  after  wars,  which  it  doesn't  do 
very  well.  But  it's  magnificent  at  do- 
ing the  social  job." 


Robert  Muller  has  worked  for  the  United  Nations  for  most  of  its  history 
and  is  the  first  chancellor  of  the  University  for  Peace  in  Costa  Rica. 


The  Wilsons  founded  the  Royal 
Commonwealth  Society  for  the 
Blind  in  1950  in  a  tiny  slum  office 
with  one  telephone. 

"When  it  tang,  they'd  say,  'can 
we  speak  to  your  legal  department,' 
and  I'd  say,  'yes,  just  a  moment,'  and 
pass  it  to  John,"  Jean  Wilson  said. 
"And  then  somebody  would  ring  up 
the  Caribbean  section,  thinking  we 
were  like  the  Colonial  office,  and 
he'd  pass  it  to  me.  It  was  great  fun." 

In  their  travels,  the  Wilsons 
have  encountered  both  danger  and 
surprising  kindness.  John  Wilson 
found  himself  in  Kenya  at  the  time 
of  the  Mau  Mau  uprising.  Because  of 
the  strife  between  Europeans  and  Af- 
ricans, his  African  driver  refused  to 
drop  him  at  his  destination,  a  school 
for  the  blind.  "He  left  me  at  the  edge 
of  the  compound  and  said  'just  walk 
straight  down  this  path  and  you  can't 
miss  it.'  Well,  I  did  miss  it,"  Wilson 
said.  "I  got  into  the  middle  of  a  field, 
and  I  was  suddenly  conscious  of 
somebody  walking  behind  me.  And 
he'd  got  a  clinking  sort  of  noise 
when  he  walked.  I  thought,  oh  God, 
this  is  going  to  be  a  man  who  will  hit 
me  on  the  head  with  a  machete." 

Wilson  turned  toward  the  man 
and  greeted  him.  He  told  the  man  he 


was  blind  and  asked  tor  help  to  get  to 
the  school.  "He  transferred  to  the 
other  hand  something  that  was  obvi- 
ously very  heavy,  and  he  took  my 
hand  and  led  me  to  the  gate.  And  he 
said,  'just  you  wait  here  until  I  get 
gone  and  I'll  whistle.'  And  he  ran 
right  across  the  field,  whistling. 
There  was  a  tremendous  hubbub  go- 
ing on  inside  the  compound,  because 
there  had  just  been  a  murder.  And 
they  reckoned  the  man  who'd  helped 
me  was  the  murderer." 

Wilson  advocated  a  mixture  of 
optimism  and  irreverence  as  the  for- 
mula for  accomplishment  in  his  ses- 
sions. "Schweitzer,  who  we  are  cel- 
ebrating this  week,  was  particularly 
irreverent,"  Wilson  told  a  audience 
of  mostly  students.  "It  the  world  has 
any  future,  I  think  it  rests  with  you 
people  in  the  United  States.  I  truly 
believe  the  next  decade  is  going  to 
be  your  decade  .  .  .  You  have  the  fu- 
ture in  your  hands,  if  you've  got 
hands  big  enough  to  take  it."  W

CHARTING  the  CURRENTS  of  CHANGE 


UNCW  is  in  the  midst  of  a  five-year ,  $15  million  capital  campaign  to  help  fund  important  academic 
and  scholarship  programs  .The  university  thankfully  acknowledges  the  following  generous  gifts . 


Donald  R.  Watson  and  Carl 
Brown,  $1.2  million  in 
real  property.  The  dona- 
tion of  real  estate  by  former 
Wilmington  Pepsi-Cola  partners 
Watson  and  Brown  was  announced 
at  the  April  14  meeting  of  the 
UNCW  Board  of  Trustees  by  Trustee 
Chair  Robert  F.  Warwick  and  Chan- 
cellor James  R.  Leutze. 

The  land  will  be  sold  to  help  es- 
tablish two  endowed  chairs  of 
$500,000  each.  The  university  will 
pursue  matching  funding  from  the 
UNC  Board  of  Governors  Distin- 
guished Professors  Endowment  Trust 
Fund.  The  program  matches 
$167,000  in  state  monies  with 
$333,000  in  private  funds. 

Watson,  who  is  a  member  of 
UNCW's  Leadership  Gifts  Commit- 
tee, will  endow  a  chair  in  the  School 
of  Education.  Carl  and  Janice  Brown 
will  endow  a  chair  in  marine  science. 
Carl  Brown,  who  is  also  on  the  Lead- 
ership Gifts  Committee,  has  served 
as  a  member  of  the  UNCW  Founda- 
tion since  1989. 

Wachovia  Bank,  $250,000 
to  establish  the 
Wachovia  Initiatives  in 
Excellence  Fund.  The  unrestricted 
endowment  will  enable  UNCW  to 
develop  new  programs  to  support  the 
school's  commitment  to  excellence 
in  teaching,  research,  artistic 
achievement  and  local,  regional  and 
world  service. 

Wachovia  Wilmington  Area  Ex- 
ecutive James  Cherry  and  Wachovia 
Regional  Executive  Will  B.  Spence 
presented  an  initial  check  for 


$50,000  to  Chan- 
cellor James  R. 
Leutze  March  24 
on  the  lawn  in 
front  of  Hoggard 
Hall,  where  the 
UNCW  Ambas- 
sadors and  Uni- 
versity Advance- 
ment staff  had 
spelled  out 
"UNCW"  and 
"Wachovia"  in 
giant  letters,  us- 
ing an  estimated 
25,000  pine 
cones.  The  pine 
cones,  which  fell 
on  campus  during  the  March  1  3 
nor'easter  that  swept  the  Eastern 
Seaboard,  were  intended  to  reflect 
the  size  of  Wachovia's  gift  —  each 
one  representing  a  $10  bill.  Both 
bank  executives  were  presented  with 
large,  gold-painted  pine  cones  to 
commemorate  the  event. 

Wachovia  has  given  generously 
to  UNCW  in  the  past,  endowing 
the  Wachovia  Fund  tor  Excellence 
at  the  university's  Cameron  School 
of  Business  Administration  in 
1983.  "We  feel  a  responsibility  on 
our  part  to  take  a  leadership  role  in 
this  campaign  at  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  at  Wilmington," 
Cherry  said.  The  Wachovia  gift 
brought  the  Capital  Campaign  to- 
tal to  $5.9  million. 

United  Carolina  Bank, 
$100,000  to  fund  two 
endowed  scholarships. 
One  scholarship  will  be  awarded

to  a  minority  undergraduate  who 
is  pursuing  a  career  in  business. 
The  other  will  be  awarded  to  an  in- 
coming North  Carolina  freshman 
who  has  demonstrated  excellence 
in  his  or  her  high  school  career. 
The  gift  came  in  concert  with  a 
$400,000  loan  commitment  from 
UCB  for  the  renovation  of  Wise 
House,  the  future  home  of  the 
UNCW  Alumni  Association 
(more,  inside  back  cover). 

UCB  officials  were  impressed 
with  the  potential  of  the  property  at 
1713  Market  St.  "After  visiting  Wise 
House,  Wilmington  City  Executive 
Jerry  Wilkins  told  me,  'the  question 
is  not  whether  we  can  afford  to  fi- 
nance the  renovation,  the  question 
is,  can  we  afford  not  to?'  "  said 
Rhone  Sasser,  UCB  chairman  and 
CEO.  "I  agreed  with  him." 
In  acknowledging  the  major  gift 
from  UCB,  Chancellor  James  R. 
Leutze  said,  "The  university  has  rec-

agnized  the  critical  need  to  build  its 
endowment  before  we  enter  the  next 
century.  United  Carolina  Bank 
continues  to  play  a  leadership 
role  in  meeting  that  critical  need, 
and  we  are  extremely  thankful  for 
their  generosity." 

The  Forty  and  Eight  of  the 
American  Legion,  $42,500 
to  endow  a  scholarship 
program  at  the  School  of  Nursing.

will  fund  two  scholarships  each  year. 

The  name  "Forty  and  Eight" 
comes  from  the  number  of  men  (40)  or 
horses  (eight)  that  could  tit  into 
French  rail  cars  used  to  transport 
troops  during  World  War  I. 

The  scholarships  are  established  in 
joint  memory  of  John  H.  Mclnnis 
(former  director  ot  the  honor  chapter's 
Nurses  Training  Committee),  Dorothy 
Dixon  (former  director  of  the  UNCW 
Nursing  Department)  and  Harold 
Sternberger.  The  scholarships  are  open 
to  students  from  Columbus,  Brunswick, 
New  Hanover  and  Pender  counties.

LOYALTY    FUND  UPDATE 

First  and  foremost,  THANK  YOU  for  your  overwhelming  support  of  our 
Loyalty  Fund  giving  campaign  tor  1992-1993.  We  successfully  reached 
our  goal  of  $350,000  this  year,  which  was  an  incredible  leap  above  the 
previous  year's  goal  of  $150,000.  For  the  new  1993-94  giving  year  which 
began  July  1 ,  we  have  set  the  ambitious  goal  of  $500,000  —  a  goal  which 
will  enable  us  to  support  the  restoration  of  our  new  alumni  facility,  Wise 
House.  Your  previous  support  gives  us  the  resolve  to  know  that  we  can 
reach  this  goal. 

The  Loyalty  Fund  contributions  you  make  each  year  enable  the 
university  to  provide  for  scholarships  and  other  programs  that  cannot  be 
tunded  in  any  othet  way.  It  is  critically  important  to  the  university  that  we 
provide  these  programs.  It  is  only  through  your  generosity  that  we  can 
continue  our  mission  to  make  UNCW  the  best  teaching  university  in  the 
Southeast. 

Although  we  will  be  gearing  up  for  '93-94  Loyalty  Fund  contributions 
beginning  September  1,  please  think  about  your  giving  now.  Look  for 
information  by  mail  and  expect  to  hear  from  us  by  phone.  Your  individual 
support  is  what  helps  make  UNCW  an  outstanding  academic  environ- 
ment for  our  students!

SHORT     TAKES 


ncle  Jim  is  just  one  of  a  cast  of  colorful 
characters  in  Dawn  Evans  Radford's 
novel-in-progress,  but  he's  already 
brought  the  '92  summa  cum  laude  graduate  the 
$3,000  Sherwood  Anderson 
Literary  Scholarship.  Radford 
won  the  prestigious  national 
award  on  the  strength  of  her 
short  story,  "Uncle  Jim, "based 
on  her  childhood  in  a  tiny 
North  Florida  fishing  village. 
"Uncle  Jim"  is  part  of  a 
series  of  interrelated  stories 
about  a  little  girl  named  Allie, 
who's  the  subject  of  a  custody 
battle .  The  custody  battle  "was 
the  first  thing  I  had  to  deal 
with  before  I  could  get  into 
the  story,  because  all  these  are 
drawn  from  life,"  Radford  said. 
"And  it  seems  that  those  things  I  have  to  deal 
with  most  in  my  life  are  the  ones  I  have  to  write 
about  first." 

Radford  finds  writing  fiction  affords  her  a 
measure  of  control  over  the  jumble  of  the  past. 
"I  can  take  all  this  chaos  that's  in  my  life,  these 
things  I  don't  understand,  and  I  can  play  God 
with  them,"  said  Radford,  who's  now  halfway 
through  a  master's  program  in  English  at 
UNCW.  "I  can  take  them  and  make  them  start 
and  end  just  like  I  want  them  to." 

The  Sherwood  Anderson  prize,  open  to 
all  graduate  writing  students  in  the  United 
States,  is  a  real  feather  in  Radford's  cap,  said 
Philip  Gerard,  director  of  professional  and 
creative  writing  at  UNCW.  "In  the  three  years 
I've  been  directing  the  writing  program  here, 
we've  nominated  students  every  year  and  never 


Dawn  Radford 


even  come  close,"  Gerard  said.  "The  fact  that 
she  won  indicates  the  quality  of  her  work." 

Radford,  who  has  a  college-age  daughter, 
was  at  first  reluctant  to  pursue  a  formal  uni- 
versity education.  "I  was 
afraid  that  the  institution 
would  take  my  voice  away, 
and  I  knew  I  had  something," 
she  said.  "I  had  seen  so  much 
of  what  was  coming  out  of 
universities,  especially  in  the 
way  of  poetry ,  and  it  was  non- 
sense to  me.  I  was  afraid  if  I 
came  to  school  and  tried  to 
write  the  way  I  wanted  to,  the 
way  I  felt  that  I  had  to  write, 
I  wouldn't  do  well." 

She  needn't  have  wor- 
ried. Her  professors  have  en- 
couraged her  to  write  in  her 
natural  voice.  "I  think  because  I've  been  here 
that  my  writing  is  richer,"  she  said. 

"I  feel  that  writing  —  any  writing  —  is 
sort  of  an  exposure.  Anybody  who  writes  is 
exposing  him  or  herself.  I'm  doing  that  in  my 
own  writing.  I'm  exposing  some  very  tender 
parts  of  myself.  If  somebody  comes  along  who 
has  to  act  as  my  judge  in  that  circumstance, 
I'm  going  to  be  vulnerable  to  a  lot  of  hurt.  And 
I've  never  experienced  any  kind  of  an  attack 
here  from  any  of  my  teachers." 

Radford,  a  graduate  teaching  assistant  in 
The  Writing  Place,  will  use  the  prize  money 
to  pay  for  two  workshops  this  summer  —  one 
on  using  computers  in  the  classroom,  and  the 
other  to  attend  a  writer's  conference  and 
workshop  in  Kentucky.

is  well  on  its  way  to  becoming 

a  home  away  from  home  for  all  UNCW  alumni. 

It  will  take  help  from  UNCWs  alumni,  friends  of  the  university 

and  the  greater  Wilmington  community  to  repay  the  generous  loan  of  $400,000  made 

by  United  Carolina  Bank 

to  fund  the  renovation .

Nobel  Laureate  Arias 
Speaks  at  UNCW 


r.  Oscar  Arias,  former  presi- 
dent of  Costa  Rica  and  the 
■''  1987  winner  of  the  Nobel 
Peace   Prize,   says   that 
those  with  college  edu- 
cations have  a  special 
responsibility  to  fight  for 
justice. 

Arias  addressed  a 
capacity  crowd,  includ- 
ing many  college  stu- 
dents, in  UNCW's 
Kenan  Auditorium  on 
Oct.  4-  The  Nobel  win- 
ner served  as  Costa 
Rican  president  from 
1986  to  1990.  A  demili- 
tarized country,  Costa 
Rica  is  often  viewed  as 
an  island  of  peace  in  the  midst  of 
war-torn  Central  America. 

Arias  expressed  the  hope  that 
with  the  conclusion  of  the  Cold  War, 
the  world's  energies  would  be  refo- 
cused  on  a  new  definition  of  security. 

"Today,  security  must  mean  more 
than  the  avoidance  of  nuclear  war;  it 


must  mean  the  absence  of  want,"  he 
said.  "It  is  time  for  security  to  mean 
food  for  the  hungry,  books  for  the 
ignorant,  medicine  tor 
the  sick,  freedom  for  the 
oppressed  and  work  for 
the  unemployed.  In  es- 
sence, the  search  for  se- 
curity begins  with  the 
search  for  human  dig- 
nity." 

He  went  on  to  warn 
that  "no  strategy  for 
peace  and  security  can 
ignore  the  fact  that  the 
world's  poor,  if  left  out 
of  the  world  economy, 
>  JH  will   seek   alternative 

means  of  subsistence 
that  could  jeopardize  global  security." 
Arias'  lecture  was  the  first  in  a 
series  intended  to  increase  awareness 
of  the  Albert  Schweitzer  Interna- 
tional Prizes,  awarded  every  four  years 
at  UNCW.

University 
Bond  Issue 
Passes 

UNCW  students  can  expect 
some  relief  for  overcrowded 
science  labs  and  classrooms. 
OnNov.  2,  North  Carolinians  passed 
a  $310  million  bond  issue  to  build 
improvements  to  North  Carolina's 
state  universities.  Within  the  pack- 
age was  a  $  1 8.5  million  science  build- 
ing for  UNCW  and  $992,000  to  en- 
large and  renovate  UNCW's  Bear 
Hall.  The  measure  passed  statewide 
with  53  percent  of  the  vote  —  63 
percent  in  New  Hanover  County. 

"The  bond  issue  result  shows  the 
confidence  the  greater  community 
has  in  the  university,"  said  Chancel- 
lor James  R.  Leutze.  "North  Carolin- 
ians have  always  been  visionary 
thinkers  when  it  comes  to  the  value 
of  higher  education." 

UNCW,  in  partnership  with  the 
other  universities  in  the  UNC  sys- 
tem, mounted  an  intensive  effort  to 
inform  the  public  about  the  need  for 
the  university  improvements  on  the 
Nov.  2  ballot. 

The  chancellor  thanked  all  those 
in  the  university  community  who 
worked  hard  on  behalf  of  the  bond 
issue,  and  expressed  appreciation  to 
the  media  for  its  fair  coverage. 

The  new  science  building  and 
improvements  to  Bear  Hall  will  help 
to  house  rapidly  growing  programs  in 
chemistry,  physics,  biology  and  earth 
sciences. 

UNCW  is  among  the  fastest 
growing  campuses  in  the  University 
of  North  Carolina  system.  In  recent 
years,  classroom  and  laboratory  space 
has  not  kept  pace  with  enrollments, 
which  have  swelled  by  25  percent  in 
the  last  five  years.

UNCW  Plans  Documentary 
on  the  Cape  Fear  River 


t  is  made  up  of 

more  than 

6,189  miles  of 
stream  and  passes  W 
through  nearly  a 
third  of  North 
Carolina's  counties. 
From  its  beginnings 
in  Moncure,  N.C., 
to  its  mouth  near 
Bald  Head  Island, 
the  Cape  Fear  River  i 
shapes  the  cities 
and  towns  that  line 
its  banks. 

Wilmington 
relies  on  the  Cape 
Fear  for  drinking 
water.  Industries 
and  municipalities  dispose  waste  into 
it.  Pleasure  boaters  use  it  for  recre- 
ation. As  important  as  the  river  is  to 
the  livelihood  of  North  Carolina, 
what  do  we  really  know  about  its 
condition?  Not  much,  say  research- 
ers at  UNCW. 

That's  why  the  university  wants 
to  develop  a  program  to  study  the 
river's  water  quality  and  issues  that 
will  affect  its  future. 

"Right  now,  there's  no  statewide 
monitoring  system  tor  the  river,"  said 
Project  Director  Elaine  Penn.  "We 
want  to  serve  as  an  information  source 
so  that  future  decisions  about  the 
Cape  Fear  can  be  made  based  on 
scientific  fact."  The  university  will 
serve  as  a  valuable  resource  to  state 
and  local  governments  and  the  in- 
dustries that  line  the  river. 

The  university's  first  step  is  the 
upcoming  production  of  an  hour-long 
documentary  that  will  air  on  public 
television  stations  across  the  state, 
and  possibly  nationwide,  next  spring. 


Frank  Chapman  (foreground!  observes  as  Mary  Moser 
and  Chancellor  James  Leutze  wrestle  some  white  water 

along  the  Cape  Fear. 


Written  by  Philip  Gerard,  di- 
rector of  professional  and  creative 
writing  at  UNCW,  the  program  will 
explore  the  river's  history,  with  vis- 
its to  historic  sites  like  Brunswick 
Town  and  Moore's  Creek,  and  take 
a  look  at  efforts  now  under  way  to 
preserve  the  river  and  the  things 
that  can  be  done  to  maintain  it  for 
generations  to  come. 

Chancellor  Jim  Leutze  and  a 
hearty  crew  of  university  staff  mem- 
bers, researchers,  videographers  and 
several  reporters  spent  three  days 
last  spring  traveling  down  the  river 
by  canoe  and  then  power  boat.  The 
group  completed  initial  filming  of 
the  documentary,  collected  water 
samples,  and  studied  areas  of  dis- 
charge along  the  river's  banks. 

"The  documentary  isn't  an  ex- 
pose'," said  Penn.  "Instead,  we  hope 
to  educate  people  about  the  river  so 
that  we  can  all  take  responsibility 
for  its  future."

A  Place 


in  History 


Commencement  was  held  on  the  lawn  in  front  of  Hoggard  Hall  in  the  late  1 970s. 


UNCW  appcoacaes  its  50ta  amiiyemry 


by  Mary  Ellen  Polson 

It  began  as  a  night  school,  meet- 
ing in  high  school  classrooms. 
Five  decades  later,  the  little 
college  that  began  teaching  practi- 
cal skills  and  junior  college  courses 
to  returning  World  War  II  veterans 
is  a  comprehensive  university 
teaching  aspiring  physicians,  law- 
yers, biologists  and  teachers. 

In  less  than  tour  years,  UNCW 
will  be  50  years  old.  Hard  to  be- 
lieve, isn't  it? 

In  1947,  a  four-year  university 
in  Southeastern  North  Carolina 
was  a  dream.  Today,  the  8,150-stu- 
dent  UNCW  campus  covers  640 
wooded  acres,  with  more  than  60 


classroom,  administrative  and  sup- 
port buildings  along  busy  South 
College  Road. 

The  idea  for  a  college  in 
Wilmington  germinated  with  the 
New  Hanover  County  Board  of 
Education  in  the  1930s,  according 
to  From  these  Beginnings,  written  by 
UNCW  Professor  Emeritus  J. 
Marshall  Crews. 

The  dream  began  to  take 
shape  at  the  close  of  World  War 
II,  when  returning  veterans  were 
flooding  the  state's  colleges  and 
universities.  Wilmington  was  cho- 
sen as  the  site  of  a  temporary  col- 
lege center  under  the  supervision 
of  the  state's  education  depart- 
ment on  June  22,  1946. 


In  actuality,  the  state  created 
two  centers:  one  tor  white  students 
at  New  Hanover  High  School  on 
Market  Street,  and  one  for  black 
students,  at  Williston  High  School 
on  10th  Street,  Crews  writes.  The 
Williston  campus,  which  trom  1946 
to  1955  was  an  extension  of 
Fayetteville  State  University, 
would  serve  as  the  campus  home 
for  African-American  students  tor 
nearly  20  years. 

In  the  mid-50s,  the  main 
branch  of  campus  moved  into  Isaac 
Bear  Hall,  a  former  elementary 
school  across  the  street  from  New 
Hanover  High  School. 

Most  ot  the  college's  first  in- 
structors worked  tor  the  New

gathering  of  Wilmington  College 
alumni,  in  October  I  965. 


Hanover  County  Board  of  Educa- 
tion, which  footed  the  bill  for  the 
new  college.  The  one  exception 
was  Adrian  Hurst,  then  an  exten- 
sion instructor  in  Wilmington  for 
N.C.  State  University.  A  math- 
ematics teacher,  he  was  the  first 
teacher  hired  at  Wilmington  Col- 
lege. 

Officials  expected  about 
160  students  to  show  up  for 
classes  at  the  two  campuses 
the  first  quarter;  238  ac- 
tually registered,  Crews 
writes.  Taught  from  4 
to  9  p.m.,  courses  were 
offered  in  aircraft  en- 
gine repair,  brick  lay- 
ing and  typing  as  well 
as  the  general  junior 
college  curriculum. 

Even  though  the 
school  occupied  a  bor- 
rowed campus,  the  be- 
ginnings of  college  life 
stirred  almost  immedi- 
ately. The  Seahawk,  the 
student  newspaper,  de- 
buted in  1948  —  in  a

four-page  mimeographed  edi- 
tion, Crews  writes.  The  Fledg- 
ling, the  college  yearbook, 
first  appeared  in  1950. 

The  campus  store  has  its 
origins  in  a  closet  in  the  base- 
ment of  the  Bear  building.  No 
books  were  stocked  there  — 
they  were  sold  through  the 
bursar's  office  —  but  there 
was  a  "snack  bar."  Crews  re- 
called spending  85  cents  to 
buy  a  box  of  5-cent  Milky 
Way  candy  bars,  which  were 
kept  in  the  unlocked  closet 
and  sold  on  the  honor  system. 
The  college  athletic  pro- 
gram was  up  and  running 
quickly,  too.  William  J.  "Bill" 
Brooks  arrived  in  1951  and 
coached  a  number  of  sports  at 
both  New  Hanover  High  and 
Wilmington  College.  In  a  ca- 
reer encompassing  40  years,  Brooks 
established  a  standout  junior  col- 
lege baseball  program  —  the  team 
won  national  junior  college  cham- 
pionships in  1961  and  1963  — 
helped  raise  funds  for  sports  facili- 
ties and  brought  Seahawk  basket- 
ball into  the  NCAA  arena  in  1985. 


Until  1958,  Wilmington  Col- 
lege was  essentially  a  locally  funded 
extension  of  the  New  Hanover 
County  Board  of  Education.  In 
1957,  the  state  legislature  added 
Wilmington  College  to  North 
Carolina's  community  college  sys- 
tem and  appropriated  money  for  its 
operating  expenses. 

Thomas  Hamilton  was  the  first 
president  of  Wilmington  College. 
He  was  followed  in  1951  by  John 
T.  I  loggard,  former  chairman  ot  the 
New  Hanover  County  Board  ot 
Education.  When  Hoggard  retired 
in  1958,  William  M.  Randall,  for 
whom  Randall  Library  is  named, 
became  college  president. 

The  search  for  a  permanent 
campus  began  early  in  Randall's  ten- 
ure, when  the  state  offered  matching 
funds  if  local  voters  would  tax  them- 
selves to  pay  halt  the  tab  to  construct 
the  first  buildings. 

A  move  to  make  Wilmington's 
municipal  golf  course  the  campus 
home  was  swiftly  quashed  due  to 
public  opposition.  The  college's 
board  ot  trustees,  including  B.D. 
Schwartz,  Frederick  B.  Graham  and 
L.  Bradford  Tillery,  eventually

"The  land  was  basically  sand

seum is  all  that  remains  of  that 
farm,"  said  Schwartz  in  his  autobi- 
ography, The  Joy  of  Politics,  co- 
written  with  Mimi  Cunningham. 
"It  was  an  ideal  site  —  not  far  from 
the  beach,  not  in  the  huh  of  town." 

By  1961,  the  first  three  campus 
buildings  —  Edwin  A.  Alderman, 
John  T.  Hoggard  and  Hinton  James 
halls  —  opened  for  the  fall  semes- 
ter. Aerial  photos  show  the  modi- 
fied Georgian-style  buildings  in  a  U 


facing  College  Road,  completely 
surrounded  by  woods  on  three 
sides.  Two  parking  lots  accommo- 
dated cars  for  both  staff  and  fac- 
ulty. President  Randall  was  fond  of 
declaring  that  the  campus  was 
"twice  the  size  of  Monaco  and 
three  times  the  size  of  Vatican 
city,"  Crews  writes. 

The  move  to  the  new  site  en- 
abled the  new  college  to  open  its 
doors  to  both  black  and  white  stu- 
dents. The  integration  of 
Wilmington  College  was  accom- 
plished painlessly  in  1962  through 
the  combined  efforts  of  former 
president  Hoggard  (then  chairman 
of  the  college's  board  of  trustees) 


and  Wilmington  civil  rights  leader 
Dr.  Hubert  Eaton,  according  to 
Eaton's  biography,  Every  Man 
Should  Try. 

As  the  '60s  progressed,  changes 
unfolded  quickly.  In  1963,  the  col- 
lege became  a  four-year  institution, 
graduating  its  first  seniors  in  1965. 
The  James  Walker  School  of  Nurs- 
ing was  transferred  to  the  college  in 
'65,  and  the  first  overseas  extension 
program  (a  summer  institute  in  ar- 
chaeology and  Palestinian  history, 
taught  by  the  peripatetic  Dr. 
Gerald  H.  Shinn)  was  offered  in 
1967. 

Fund  raising  by  the  Friends  of 
Wilmington  College,  organized  in 
1963,  was  largely  responsible  for 
bringing  the  library  up  to  minimum 
standards  for  accreditation  by  the 
Southern  Association  of  Colleges 
and  Secondary  Schools  (50,000 
volumes)  by  1968. 

In  1968,  President  Randall  re- 
tired. His  successor,  Dr.  William  H. 
Wagoner,  would  stand  at  the  helm 
for  more  than  20  years,  overseeing 
the  most  dramatic  period  of  growth 
in  the  university's  history. 

Wagoner  became  president  of 
Wilmington  College  on  June  1, 
1968.  Just  six  months  later,  in  De- 
cember, the  UNC  Board  of  Trust- 
ees approved  Wilmington  College's 
entrance  into  the  university  sys- 
tem. On  July  1,  1969,  Wilmington 
College  became  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  at  Wilmington 
and  Wagoner  its  first  chancellor. 

(Apparently  parking  was  already 
at  a  premium  on  the  rapidly  growing 
campus:  Wagoner  told  Wilmington 
Morning  Star  reporter  Alison 
Feldman  in  1990  that  he  got  a  park- 
ing ticket  his  first  day  at  school. 
Wagoner  bought  a  parking  sticker, 
paid  the  fine  and  praised  the  em- 
ployee, the  Morning  Star  reported.) 

The  1970s  saw  a  period  of 
rapid  growth,  both  in  the  number 
of  students  who  flocked  to  campus 
and  in  physical  improvements.  En-

rollment  nearly  tripled,  from  1,425 
in  1969  to  4,258  in  1979.  UNCW 
added  its  first  residence  halls  in  the 
early  '70s,  and  built  several  new 
classroom  buildings.  Trask  Coli- 
seum, which  dwarfed  the  school's 
original  gymnasium,  Hanover  Hall, 
was  completed  in  time  for  the 
1977-78  school  year. 

In  1975,  in  a  move  intended  to 
enhance  the  university's  prestige, 
the  Albert  Schweitzer  Interna- 
tional Prizes  in  music,  medicine 
and  the  humanities  were  estab- 
lished. Every  four  years  since,  cer- 
emonies at  UNCW  have  honored 
international  figures  who  epitomize 
the  philosophy  of  the  humanist 
physician.  Among  the  first  recipi- 
ents was  Mother  Teresa,  who  later 
won  the  Nobel  Peace  Prize. 

The  phenomenal  growth  at 
UNCW  continued  throughout  the 
1980s,  a  decade  which  saw  rapid 
proliferation  of  degree  programs  of- 
fered and  the  application  of  in- 
creasingly higher  standards  for  ad- 
mission —  in  part  due  to  lack  of 
classroom  space,  as  noted  in  a  se- 
ries of  stories  in  the  Wilmington 
Morning  Star. 

The  percentage  of  entering 
freshmen  who  graduated  in  the  top 
20  percent  of  their  high  school 
class  steadily  climbed,  and  the  busi- 
ness school  —  scattered  in  several 
buildings  across  campus  —  consid- 
ered capping  the  number  of  majors 


it  accepted  because  of 
lack  of  classroom  space. 
In  1984,  theUNC 
Board  of  Governors 
promoted  UNCW  to 
the  status  of  Compre- 
hensive Level  I  Univer- 
sity. The  designation 
allowed  the  school  to 
add  more  master's  level 
programs,  pay  higher 
faculty  salaries  and  ex- 
pand its  research  capa- 
bilities —  in  general, 
permitting  it  to  operate 
and  compete  as  a  top- 
level  university.  Only 
three  other  institutions 
in  the  UNC  system  —  research 
universities  UNC  and  N.C.  State 
University  and  doctoral-granting 
university  UNC  Greensboro  — 
hold  higher  designations. 

Several  master's  programs  had 
already  been  established  at  UNCW 

—  notably  its  highly  regarded  pro- 
gram in  marine  biology  in  1980.  By 
1987,  UNCW  offered  master's  pro- 
grams in  geology,  biology,  chemis- 
try, math,  English,  history,  and  el- 
ementary, secondary  and  high 
school  education.  Another         jne  bes/ 
seven  master's  programs 
were  added  the  following 
year  (19  are  now  offered). 
UNCW  also  offers  a  Ph.D. 
program  in  marine  biology 
jointly  with  N.C.  State. 

The  building  boom  con- 
tinued in  the  1980s.  Univer- 
sity Union,  a  focal  point  for 
campus  activities,  opened  in 

1983,  and  the  first  privately 
built,  student-oriented  off- 
campus  housing  complex, 
Campus  Edge,  went  up  in 

1984.  Late  in  the  decade, 
UNCW  doubled  the  size  of 
Randall  Library  and  added 
two  important  new  buildings 

—  the  Cameron  School  of 
Business  Administration  and 
the  Social  and  Behavioral 
Sciences  building. 

In  1990,  James  R. 
Leutze  became  chancellor  of 


a  university  poised  on  the  brink  of 
additional  growth  and  a  new  matu- 
rity. The  top  priority:  to  make 
UNCW  the  best  teaching  univer- 
sity in  the  Southeast. 

When  Chancellor  Leutze  took 
office,  UNCW's  endowment  stood 
at  an  estimated  $5  to  6  million  —  a 
fraction  of  the  endowment  held  by 
other  schools  in  the  UNC  system. 
In  1992,  the  chancellor  and  his  ad- 
ministrative team  embarked  on  the 
university's  first  capital  campaign, 
designed  to  raise  Si  5  million  for 
scholarships  and  endowed  profes- 
sorships within  five  years.  More 
than  $9  million  has  already  been 
raised  toward  this  goal. 

With  the  recent  accreditation 
ot  the  Cameron  School  of  Business 
by  the  American  Assembly  of  Col- 
legiate Schools  of  Business  and 
UNCW's  recent  ranking  among 
the  25  top  regional  universities  in 
the  South,  UNCW  is  well  on  its 
way  toward  its  goal  of  teaching  ex- 
cellence.

iJ    LP 


By  Mary  Ellen  Polson 

Like  most  adolescents  in  the 
early  '60s,  Wayne  Rogers  '73 
vividly  recalls  the  cold  Feb- 
ruary weekend  in  1964  when  the 
Beatles  first  hit  the  United  States. 

The  screaming  girls  at  the  air- 
port. The  din  of  the  Ed  Sullivan 
Show  audience.  The  unique  musical 
sound  that  mesmerized  an  entire 
generation. 

"We  were  glued  to  the  tube  the 
whole  weekend,"  said  Rogers,  then 
a  13-year-old  seventh-grader  living 
in  upstate  New  York.  "I  remember 
it  like  it  was  yesterday,  it  was  such 
a  big  turning  point  for  me." 

For  Rogers,  the  Beatles  were 
the  springboard  to  an  unusual  ca- 


rlBfB    J&  , 


reer,  one  that  reflects  his  love  tor 
all  kinds  of  music,  not  just  rock. 
Before  he  graduated  from  UNCW 
in  1973,  he  had  made  buying  and 
selling  records  and,  increasingly, 
rock  memorabilia,  into  a  profitable 
business.  Rogers  has  never  even  ap- 
plied for  a  job.  "The  day  I  gradu- 
ated, my  wite  quit  her  job  and  that 
was  it,"  he  said. 

Rogers  started  out  selling  any- 
thing related  to  rock  —  old  and 
rare  records,  music  magazines,  post- 
ers, T-shirts,  tour  books.  He  sold  at 
record  shows  and  Beatles  conven- 
tions and  advertised  in  Rolling 
Stone,  Creem  and  Crawdaddy  to 
build  up  a  good  client  list.  As  a 


member  of  the  concert  committee 
at  UNCW,  he  helped  bring  popular 
and  emerging  bands  to  Wilming- 
ton, booking  them  into  Hanover 
Hall  on  the  UNCW  campus  or 
Brogden  Hall  at  New  Hanover 
High  School. 

Even  though  the  houses  could 
seat  no  more  than  2,500,  the  com- 
mittee pulled  in  some  name  groups. 
"We  specialized  in  grabbing  acts 
before  they  got  big,"  said  Wes 
Knape  '73,  a  drama  teacher  at 
Laney  High  School  in  Wilmington, 
who  was  then  chair  of  the  concert 
committee.  "If  we  could  pick  stocks 
like  we  were  picking  bands,  we'd  be 
rich  now." 


FALL/WINTER     93 


FALL/WINTER     93 


On  the  list  were  the  Nitty 
Gritty  Dirt  Band,  Steely  Dan 
(booked  for  a  mere  $500)  and  Yes 
—  the  night  their  best-selling  al- 
bum Fragile  went  gold.  "We  were 
very  lucky  because  we  got  them 
cheap,"  recalls  Rogers,  who  kept 
the  books.  "Fleetwood  Mac  was  a 
cancel,  unfortunately,  but  I 
still  have  the  poster." 

Rogers,  who  has  sold 
memorabilia  exclusively  for 
the  last  10  years  now,  buys 
and  sells  merchandise  asso- 
ciated with  country,  shag, 
and  rhythm  and  blues  as 
well  as  rock.  Rogers  says  his 
business  "is  pretty  unique. 
There's  no  one  else  doing 
specifically  what  I  do  full 
time  in  the  whole  world 
that  I  know  of." 

He's  a  heavy  consignor 
to  major  auction  houses 
like  Sotheby's  and  Chris- 
tie's, and  buys  high-ticket 
items  on  speculation, 
knowing  he'll  eventually 
sell  them.  Much  of  the 
memorabilia  that  decks 
Hard  Rock  cafes  from  New 
York  to  Tokyo  to  Orlando 
has  passed  through  Rogers' 
hands  at  one  point  or  an- 
other. Hard  Rock  "has  re- 
ally put  the  memorabilia 
market  on  the  map,"  Rogers 
said. 

Of  all  rock  stars  past 
and  present,  the  Beatles  by 
far  lead  the  memorabilia 
hit  parade,  Rogers  says. 
Megastars  like  Sting  and 
Michael  Jackson  owe  their 
financial  success  to  the  Beatles, 
who  paved  the  way  to  riches  for 
them. 

"They  were  the  first  group  to 
fill  stadiums,"  said  Rogers,  who 
owns  the  contract  for  their  1965 
Atlanta  Stadium  concert.  "If  they 
played  today,  they  could  be  the 
first  group  to  command  95  percent 
of  the  gate.  They  just  revolution- 
ized the  whole  entertainment  in- 
dustry." 


"I  spend  a  lot  of  time  in  En- 
gland. To  go  back  to  Liverpool 
and  see  their  roots,  where  they 
came  from,  is  quite  an  amazing 
thing.  Liverpool  hasn't  changed 
much.  They  were  working-class 
kids.  How  they  came  so  far,  it's 
unfathomable."

rs  has  sold  rock  memorabilia  to  Hard  Rock  cafes 
New  York  (above)  to  Tokyo. 


Rogers  believes  the  Beatles  be- 
came such  a  phenomenon  in  part 
because  their  musical  roots  were  es- 
sentially American.  John  Lennon 
and  Paul  McCartney  patterned 
their  singing  styles  after  black 
rhythm  and  blues  artists  like  Chuck 
Berry  and  Little  Richard.  George 
Harrison  learned  guitar  licks  from 
rockabilly  pickers  like  Carl  Perkins. 
"They  all  took  a  little  from 
America,"  said  Rogers. 


Today's  rock  phenoms  just 
don't  measure  up  when  it  comes  to 
memorabilia.  "The  only  other  rock 
personality  that  even  approaches 
the  Beatles  in  collectibility  is  Jimi 
Hendrix,"  Rogers  said.  "The  cur- 
rent personalities  are  oversaturated; 
there's  no  mystique  about  them." 
Surprisingly,  Elvis  is 
way  down  the  list.  "The 
problem  with  Elvis  is,  he 
was  prostituted  after  his 
death,"  Rogers  said.  Even 
so,  Rogers  has  in  his  collec- 
tion a  Winchester  gun  cus- 
tom-made for  Elvis,  priced 
in  the  five-figure  range. 
Some  of  the  hottest 
items  are  associated  with 
artists  who  were  never  big 
rock  stars.  "What's  very 
collectible  are  concert 
posters  —  for  James 
Brown,  Ray  Charles,  Fats 
Domino  —  the  pioneers  of 
rock  'n'  roll,"  Rogers  said. 
"That's  highly  desirable 
stuff." 

Rogers  has  handled 
several  sets  of  clothing  that 
sold  for  more  than  $10,000, 
including  an  outfit  worn  by 
rhythm  and  blues  great 
Otis  Redding.  "Those  items 
from  the  early  days  just 
hold  a  special  mystique, 
and  necessarily  so.  They 
should  go  for  more  than 
something  Madonna  wore 
last  week." 

Rogers  is  often  asked 
to  estimate  the  value  of 
rare  items.  Apple,  the  Lon- 
don-based company 
founded  by  the  Beatles,  asked 
Rogers  to  estimate  the  auction 
price  ot  an  acetate  film  and  record- 
ing of  the  Beatles.  Considered  the 
earliest  known  footage  of  the  Fab 
Four,  the  film  from  1962  contains 
performances  of  two  songs,  one  ot 
them  unknown  in  the  Beatles'  rep- 
ertoire. 

"I  think  you'll  get  it  tor  5  or 
6,000  pounds,  "  Rogers  told  an 
Apple  representative.  "It  went  for 


UNCW      Magazine 


UNCW      Magazine 


15,000  pounds  ...  With  the  pre- 
mium, they  paid  almost  $30,000  for 
it.  Trice  is  an  arbitrary  thing." 

While  his  buyers  are  a  diverse 
lot,  many  are  baby  boomers.  "The 
hobby  has  really  come  of  age  in 
the  last  10  years  for  various  rea- 
sons," Rogers  said.  "People  want  to 
collect  the  nostalgia  of  their 
youth,  and  now  they've  got  the 
money  to  do  so." 

Higher  quality  —  and  higher 
priced  —  items  often  sell  in  the 
European  market.  The  Japanese 
also  are  heavy  buyers.  Several  of 
Rogers'  Japanese  clients  collect 
vintage  guitars,  but  not  to  play. 
"Vintage  guitars  from  the  '50s,  '60s 
and  70s  are  now  considered  tine 
art,"  Rogers  said. 

There's  a  big  market  for 
American  collectibles  in  general 
in  Japan.  Rogers  recently  saw  an 
entire  store  in  Tokyo  that  sold 
only  things  related  to  Felix  the 
Cat,  a  pre-World  War  II  cartoon 
character.  "Felix  the  Cat  is  a  cul- 
tural hero  in  Japan,"  Rogers  said. 

While  Rogers  is  the  only  em- 
ployee of  his  company,  Retro/Ac- 
tive, he  has  a  network  of  silent 
partners  who  help  find  things  for 
him  —  and  he's  always  on  the 
lookout  for 
leads. 


Historical,  sports  and  cartoon 
memorabilia  also  comes  his  way, 
often  as  a  result  of  buying  or  trad- 
ing for  rock  'n'  roll  merchandise 
he  wants.  "I  get  bizarre  things,  like 
Bonnie  and  Clyde  signatures,"  he 
said.  "Those  types  of  things  aren't 
things  I  go  after." 

Rogers  says  he  could  run  his 
business  from  anywhere  —  pro- 
vided it  has  a  telephone  and  a  fax 
machine.  Auctions  keep  him  busi- 
est from  March  to  October,  and 
Rogers  is  often  on  the  road 
throughout  the  United  States  and 
Europe.  He  spent  two  months  in 
England  this  year. 

Until  a  couple  of  years  ago, 
Rogers  lived  in  Wilmington. 
When  he's  home,  he  works  out  of 
his  house  in  Montgomery,  Ala.  He 
moved  to  Montgomery  to  stay 
close  to  his  ex-wife,  with  whom  he 
shares  a  child.  It's  an  amicable  re- 
lationship; the  two  live  on  the 
same  street. 

At  any  one  time,  Rogers  might 
have  thousands  of  items  in  inven- 
tory, many  of  them  jam-packed 
into       hi  s  Montgomery 


home. 


Others  rest 
in  ware- 
houses. 


"A  lot  of  stuff  doesn't  take  up 
much  space  because  it's  paper  — 
contracts,  autograph  books,  stuff 
like  that,"  he  said. 

One  of  the  most  unique  items 
he's  handled  was  a  12-page  affida- 
vit filed  by  Paul  McCartney  in 
1970  to  dissolve  the  Beatles.  One 
of  only  five  originals,  the  copy  was 
John  Lennon's  and  contained 
many  of  Lennon's  handwritten, 
personal  notes  in  the  margins.  The 
affidavit  came  to  Rogers  in  1989; 
he  sold  it  two  years  later  for  about 
$26,000.  The  current  owner  is 
asking  a  reported  $100,000  for  it, 
Rogers  says. 

There  are  some  items  he  re- 
fuses to  traffic  in,  however.  Rogers 
recently  turned  down  an  offer  from 
Sotheby's  to  sell  a  tooth  John 
Lennon  lost  in  1966. 

"I  couldn't  believe  they  had 
the  guts  to  put  that  out  on  their 
letterhead,"  Rogers  said.  "To  get  a 
tooth  and  try  to  market  it,  that's 
kind  of  pushing  the  envelope." 

"They  contacted  the  right  per- 
son, though,"  he  said.  "If  any  one 
could  sell  it,  I  could."

A     COMPOSITE     PICTURE 


i©  define  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  at  Wilmington: 

Yes,  it's  the  buildings,  the 
laboratories  and  library.  But 
it's  much  more.  It's  the  stu- 
dents and  faculty.  And  it's  the 
bicycles  they  ride,  backpacks 
they  carry,  books  they  study 
and  beaches  they  frequent. 
Simply,  UNCW  is  the  sum  of  its 
parts — a  composite  picture. 

Integral  to  that  picture  is 
the  university's  growing  repu- 
tation for  teaching  excellence 
that's  grounded  in  quality 
research.  Teaching  that  turns 
out  well-prepared  graduates 
and  successful  alumni. 

Those  alumni,  their  employ- 
ers and  the  communities 
where  they  live  provide  the 
necessary  resources  to  keep 
the  university  thriving.  And  as 
the  university  thrives,  so  too 
does  North  Carolina  and  its 
citizenry. 

So,  it's  the  alumni  and  the 
faculty  and  the  students— and 
the  environments  in  which 
they  flourish— that  we  salute 
with  this  annual  report.  For 
they  all  truly  define  UNCW.

was  my  goal  all  through  high 
school,  so  my  parents  wouldn't 
have  to  take  care  of  anything. 
Needless  to  say,  they  were 
happy,"  says  UNCW  freshman  Tim 
Ellis.  What  made  Tim's  parents 
happy  and  proud  is  his  being 
named  a  Champion  McDowell

four-year,  $3,500  annual  scholar-

Tim,  a  premedical  major,  was

high  academic  standards,  as  evi-

Doctors  in  the  UNCW  area  are 
working  to  encourage  more 
students  like  Tim  Ellis  (left)  to 
enter  the  University's  pre- 
medical  program. 

Physicians  in  the  New 
Hanover-Pender  Counties 
Medical  Society  have  started  a 
scholarship  endowment  to 
provide  tuition  and  fees  for 
UNCW  premedical  students. 
The  doctors  are  building  the 
endoivment  by  having  fellow 
physicians  pay  for  services  that 
are  usually  offered  as  medical 
courtesies  and  then  diverting 
those  payments  to  the  endoiv- 
ment. In  addition,  the  doctors 
are  designating  part  of  their 
medical  society  dues  to  be 
given  to  the  scholarship  fund 
and  making  memorial  gifts  to 
the  fund  in  the  name  of  a 
colleague  who  has  died. 

Medical  society  members 
say  their  fund-raising  efforts 
are  well  worth  the  effort.  The 
UNCW  student  acceptance  rate 
into  medical  programs  nation- 
wide is  one  of  the  best  among 
member  institutions  in  the 
University  of  North  Carolina 
system. 


CAPTAINS      CLUB 


Members  are  those  who  contributed 
SSOO  to  S999  during  the  1992-93 
Loyalty  Fund  year. 


lou're  the  first  teacher  to  tell 
me  I  can  pass  the  CPA  exam," 
says  a  senior  in  Dr.  Joanne 
Rockness'  accounting  class.  The 
student  is  one  among  a  dozen 
seniors  in  the  class  who  are  ner- 
vous at  the  prospect  of  entering 
the  business  world.  Rockness 
feels  it's  her  job  to  calm  their 
nerves  by  making  sure  they're 
well  educated. 

"I  want  you  guys  to  be  real 
accountants,  to  get  jobs,  to  be 
leaders  out  there.  Believe  in 
yourselves  a  little  more,"  says 
Rockness,  UNCW  Cameron 
Professor  of  Accountancy.  As 
UNCW's  first  endowed  professor, 
she's  serious  about  her  role  in 
preparing  students  to  enter  that 
real  world. 

Although  her  credentials  as  a 
faculty  member  at  Michigan  State 
University  and  as  associate  dean 
for  academic  affairs  at  N.C.  State 
University  bespeak  her  research 
expertise,  it's  the  students  that 
now  motivate  Rockness.  "I  think 
the  primary  mission  of  UNCW  is 
teaching,  and  I  think  it  ought  to 
be.  There's  not  much  difference 
in  students  anywhere,  and 
teaching's  what  I  like  to  do."

Soon,  Dr.  Joanne  Rockness 
(left)  will  be  joined  by  two 
other  endowed  professors.  Last 
spring,  Donald  R.  Watson  and 
Carl  Brown,  long-time 
Wilmington  residents  and 
partners  during  their  ownership 
of  the  Wihnington  Pepsi 
Bottling  operation,  donated  to 
UNCW  a  gift  of  real  property 
with  an  estimated  value  of  $1.2 
million.  Using  the  proceeds 
from  the  sale  of  the  property, 
UNCW  will  seek  matching 
funding  from  the  UNC  Board 
of  Governors  Distinguished 
Professor  Endowment  Trust 
Fund  to  establish  tivo  endowed 
chairs  of  $500,000  each. 
Donald  Watson  will  endow  a

tion, and  Carl  and  Janice 
Brown  will  endow  a  chair  in 
marine  sciences.

vome  UNCW  students  are  being 
driven  up  the  wall  —  a  rock  wall 
that  is.  Hitting  that  wall  is  just 
part  of  a  leadership  training 
center  that's  unique  to  the 
university. 

The  Leadership  Development 
Center — the  only  one  of  its  kind 
at  a  North  Carolina  university — 
challenges  students  of  all  majors 
both  physically  and  mentally. 
Part  of  the  two-semester  Emerge 
Leadership  Program  is  a  session  at 
UNCW's  Challenge  Course,  where 
team-building  skills  are  devel- 
oped through  exercises  such  as 
climbing  the  rock  board. 

Giving  leadership  training  a  leg 
up  is  the  Branch  Banking  &  Trust 
Leadership  Challenge  gift.  Income 
from  BB&T's  $150,000  endow- 
ment will  go  toward  leadership 
research  and  program  initiatives 
to  provide  for  the  development 
of  better  student  leaders. 


O 


By  participating  in 
a  tutoring  program 
for  children  in 
public  schools, 
students  in  the 
UNCW  School  of 
Education  gain 
valuable  teaching 
experience  while 
their  pupils  get  the 
extra  help  they 
need.

t's  a  meeting  of  the  minds  for 
the  express  purpose  of  improving 
minds — those  of  school  children 
in  Southeastern  North  Carolina. 
Through  the  Consortium  for  the 
Advancement  of  Public  Education 
(CAPE),  government  agencies, 
educators,  private  businesses, 
industries  and  foundations  join 
forces  to  pursue  nontraditional 
approaches  to  public  education. 

Serving  as  host  to  CAPE, 
UNCW  is  working  to  improve 
public  schools  in  its  region  of  the 
state  by  taking  part  in  a  number 
of  initiatives:  the  Reading  Recov- 
ery Project  to  combat  illiteracy;  a 
fiber  optic  network  to  link  educa- 
tional programs  between  local 
schools  and  hospitals;  and  techni- 
cal assistance  for  schools  seeking 
to  become  America  2000  "break 
the  mold  schools."

The  following  people  and  groups  supported 
UNCWwitb  a  Loyalty  Fund  gift. 


lomputers  and  cameras,  tables 
and  lamps,  CDs  and  dictionaries — 
these  are  the  taken-for-granted 
items  that  are  no  less  crucial  to 
the  inner  workings  of  a  university 
than  laboratories  and  classrooms. 

Recognizing  that  little  things 
add  up,  a  group  of  women  formed 
the  Friends  of  Wilmington  College 
almost  30  years  ago.  At  that 
time,  the  college  needed  to  boost 
its  library  holdings  from  I  1,000 
volumes  to  50,000  volumes  in 
order  to  be  accredited  as  a  four- 
year  college.  The  obvious  indica- 
tion of  the  group's  success  and 
the  college's  expansion  was  the 
necessary  name  change  to  Friends 
of  UNCW. 

Although  the  size  and  scope  of 
UNCW  has  changed,  the  purpose 
of  Friends  of  UNCW  remains  the 
same:  providing  the  resources  to 
help  the  university.  This  past 
year,  the  friends  gave  1 1  gifts  to 
UNCW,  such  as  computer  cables 
and  glass  display  cases,  ranging  in 
price  from  $  1 06  to  $  1 ,058.  As 
one  UNCW  official  puts  it, 
"Friends  of  UNCW  always  comes 
to  the  university's  rescue."

THE  UNIVERSE 

ccording  to    am     issette 


by  Mary  Anne  Browder  Brock 


C  V   I     was  a'waYs  interested  in  science,  particularly  the 
1     sky."  Watercolorist  Samuel  D.  Bissette's  words 

JL  flow  evenly  into  the  room,  his  tone  friendly  and 
exact  as  he  explains  why  eight  years  ago,  he  delved  into 
astronomy  —  a  move  which  expanded  his  artistic  reper- 
toire and  taught  him  much  about  the  phenomena  of  the 
heavens. 

Perhaps  the  largest  tangible  result  of  Bissette's  turn 
skyward  is  the  60-piece  collection  of  watercolors  and 
sculptures,  "The  Universe  According  to  Earth,"  which 
he  donated  to  the  University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Wilmington  in  February.  The  paintings  have  been  on 
display  in  the  university's  Randall  Library  since  May. 

Even  though   Bissette   approached  astronomy  as  a 
means  to  expand  his  art,  he  found  himself  intrigued  with 
the  science.  Finding  it  necessary  to  see  and  under- 
stand the  objects  and  phenomena  of 
the  sky  before  he  could  paint 
them,  Bissette  bought  a 
tracking   telescope 
and  learned  to  take 
pictures  through 
it  with  his  Nikon 
camera. 

Before    tak- 
ing  pictures,   an 
astrophotographer 
must  set  up  his   tele- 
scope and  align  it  with 
the   celestial   north   pole 
Once  properly  aligned,  Bissette 
explains,  the  telescope  can  be  pro- 
grammed to  "lock  in"  on  a  desig- 
nated object  (such  as  a  galaxy  or 
nebula)  and  track,  or  follow,  it  across  the  sky,  compensat- 
ing for  the  earth's  rotation. 

To  get  a  good  picture,  "you  must  have  a  perfectly 
clear  sky,"  Bissette  said.  Another  requirement  for  suc- 
cessful astrophotography  is  very  fast  film.  People  typi- 
cally use  film  speeds  of  100-1000  ASA  when  taking 
family  snapshots  or  photographs  of  children  in  a  recital. 


The  Milky  Way  Galaxy,  as  seen  in  infrared 


The  astrophotographer  often  makes  time  exposures  be- 
tween 15  minutes  and  one  hour  in  duration,  using  film 
with  speeds  up  to  6400  ASA. 

For  instance,  before  he  painted  Whirlpool  Galaxy,  a 
bright,  face-on  spiral  galaxy  located  near  the  Big  Dipper 
in  the  northern  sky,  Bissette  took  a  20-minute  exposure 
of  the  galaxy  on  3200-speed  film. 

Bissette  spent  many  nights  alone  with  his  tele- 
scope, his  camera  and  the  stars,  and  he  got  most  of  the 
material  for  "The  Universe  According  to  Earth"  him- 
self. When  he  could  not  obtain  the  material  himself, 
Bissette  turned  to  other  sources,  including  NASA  and 
various  observatories  around  the  country,  traveling  a 
total  of  10,000  miles  to  gather  the  data  he  needed  for  his 
art  collection.  "When  I  go  into  anything,"  he  explains, 
"I  go  all  the  way." 

The  scope  of  this  collection  is  vast, 
including  realistic   representa- 
tions of  commonly  known 
constellations,  silhou- 
ettes    of    various 
spacecraft,   repro- 
ductions of  radio- 
astronomy     im- 
ages,   interesting 
objects    on    the 
planets  and  moons 
in  our  own  solar  sys- 
tem, and  several  inter- 
estingly shaped  nebulae. 
A    nebula    is   a   tremendous 
cloud  of  space  gas.  This  cloud  may 
be  composed  of  various  types  of  dust. 
A  nebula  that  is  near  a  star  will  light 
up,  and  if  the  nebula  has  fluorescent  material,  it  will  glow 
on  its  own. 

Bissette  depicts  several  well-known  nebulae  in  the 
collection,  and  one  need  look  at  only  a  few  portraits  of 
these  clouds  of  space  gas  to  believe  that  the  astronomers 
who  named  them  probably  spent  hours  as  children  iden- 
tifying shapes  in  the  clouds  of  the  daytime  sky.

Located  near  the  star  Alnitak 
in  the  constellation  Orion,  the 
Horsehead  Nebula  has  captured  the 
fancy  of  astronomers  for  centuries. 
Unlike  most  nebulae,  which  are 
visible  as  glowing  masses  against  a 
dark  sky,  the  Horsehead  Nebula  ap- 
pears as  a  dark  horsehead-shaped 
cloud  of  gas  and  dust.  Silhouetted 
against  a  bright  reddish-colored 
emission  nebula,  it  looks  something 
like  a  seahorse. 

Bissette  captured  two  other  dis- 
tinctively shaped  and  appropriately 
named  nebulae  in  his  North 
America  and  Pelican  Nebulae,  de- 
picted on  the  cover.  Hydrogen  pro- 
vides the  red  glow  evident  in  pho- 
tographs of  these  faint  nebulae, 
which  are  located  in  the  constella- 
tion Cygnus. 

While  most  nebulae  can  be 
seen  only  with  the  aid  of  a  tele- 
scope, the  caption  for  Bissette's 
Great  Nebula  in  Constellation  Orion 
explains  that  this  nebula,  the 
brightest  in  our  sky,  may  be  seen 
with  the  naked  eye.  The  observer 
may  locate  it  as  "a  hazy  patch  in 
the  sword  of  Orion,  just  below  the 
belt  of  three  bright  stars." 

Bissette  speaks  familiarly  of 


each  object  or  phenomenon  in  the 
collection,  as  if  talking  of  old 
friends.  When  asked  which  is  his 
favorite,  he  names  the  Trifid,  a 
nebula  shaped  like  a  flower.  "And 
the  other,"  he  adds  quickly,  "is  the 
Horsehead." 

That  he  has  enjoyed  his  meet- 
ings with  the  stars  is  evident  when 
Bissette  talks  about  his  nights  at 
the  telescope  at  2,  3,  4,  or  5  o'clock 
in  the  morning. 

"The  feeling  you  have  when 
you're  by  yourself  in  a  remote  area 
and  you  can  see  for  millions  of 
light  years  is  unexplainable," 
Bissette  declares.  To  be  able  to  get 
pictures  of  objects  so  far  away 
seems  even  more  awe-inspiring  and 
fills  him  with  a  sense  of  wonder. 
For  instance,  to  record  a  pictute  of 
the  Whirlpool  Galaxy  —  a  galaxy 
15  million  light  years  from  Earth  — 
in  a  mete  20  minutes  is  amazing  to 
him.  "1  think  that's  a  miracle," 
Bissette  said. 

Bissette  appreciates  the  feel- 
ings, both  psychological  and  aes- 
thetic, that  have  accompanied  his 
sky  watching.  He  watches  and 
guides  his  equipment,  punches  in 
the  right  numbers,  and  captures  on 


A  Spiral  Galaxy,  an  opaque  water  color  by  Sam  Bissette.  Massive 
aggregates  of  millions  of  stars,  dust,  gas  and  other  particles,  galaxies  are 
scattered  in  countless  number  throughout  the  universe. 


film  wonders  of  the  universe  other- 
wise unavailable  to  human  eyes. 
When  asked  if  he  would  call  this 
"mind-boggling,"  Bissette  tesponds 
quickly:  "Mind-boggling  is  an  un- 
derstatement." 

When  Bissette  speaks,  he  de- 
scribes for  the  listener  what  his  art 
portrays  to  the  viewer:  what  we  can 
see  of  the  universe  is  too  vast  to 
comprehend.  Perhaps  even  more 
significant  is  the  fact  that  we  can 
see  only  a  small  portion  of  what  is 
there. 

"About  90  to  95  percent  of 
what  is  in  the  sky  can't  be  seen," 
Bissette  explains.  Physicists  call 
this  material  "dark  matter,"  and 
several  theories  about  the  natute  of 
time  and  the  origins  of  the  universe 
hinge  on  exactly  how  much  datk 
matter  is  present  in  the  universe. 
Bissette  is  quick  to  point  out,  how- 
ever, that  such  theories  are  merely 
that:  theoretical. 

"Everything  is  no  more  than  a 
conjecture,"  Bissette  said.  "It's  a 
guessing  game.  The  more  the  scien- 
tists put  together,  the  more  of  a 
framework  they  have  for  their 
theories." 

But  theories  can't  begin  to  ex- 
plain the  immense  grandeur  of  the 
universe,  a  reality  that  Bissette 
finds  humbling.  One  can  readily 
believe  that  this  is  a  man  who  un- 
derstands the  meaning  of  humility: 
he  worked  for  a  year  just  to  learn 
the  techniques  needed  to  do  this 
kind  of  painting. 

A  resident  of  Wilmington 
since  1936,  Bissette  began  paint- 
ing about  1970,  after  his  wife  and 
daughter  gave  him  art  materials. 
They  "said  I  had  talked  about 
painting  and  drawing  enough," 
Bissette  says  with  a  chuckle.  He 
took  drawing  classes  at  UNCW, 
then  studied  with  Edwin  Voorhees 
at  St.  John's  Museum  of  Art  in 
Wilmington.  He  also  spent  week- 
long  sessions  with  renowned  wa- 
tercolor  artist  John  Pike  in  1972 
and  1975. 

Before  beginning  "The  Uni- 
verse According  to  Earth,"  Bissette, 


FALL/WINTER     93

a  Wilson,  N.C.,  native,  specialized, 
in  traditional  transparent  water- 
color.  Wilmington  residents  have 
long  been  familiar  with  his  work: 
one  of  his  projects,  "North  Caro- 
lina Circa  1900,"  an  exhibition  of 
35  transparent  watercolors,  began 
its  tour  of  North  Carolina  museums 
and  galleries  at  St.  John's  Museum 
of  Art.  Bissette  also  created  the 
concept  and  original  art  for  the 
nine  mosaic  murals  adorning  the 
three  entrances  of  Belk  Beery  at 
Wilmington's  Independence  Mall. 

Some  of  the  new  techniques 
Bissette  employed  in  "The  Uni- 
verse According  to  Earth"  include 
using  opaque  watercolors,  painting 
on  black  acid-free  mat  board,  using 
an  air  brush,  and  using  special 
techniques  for  creating  a  third  di- 
mension. In  addition  to  the  many 
opaque  watercolors  and  several  mat 
board  sculptures,  Bissette  also  in- 
cluded an  opaque  watercolor  sculp- 
ture in  the  collection. 

In  this  sculpture,  Horsehead  and 
Teardrop,  Bissette  conveys  the 
three-dimensional  nature  of  two 
unusual  formations  on  the  surface 
of  Mars.  Reminiscent  of  a  topo- 
graphical map,  this  sculpture  was 
based  on  a  photograph  from 
NASA's  Viking  spacecraft.  To 
achieve  the  three-dimensional  ef- 
fect, Bissette  used  opaque  watercol- 
ors and  pushed  them  through  a 
medicine  dropper,  using  a  cotton 
swab  as  a  plunger.  He  then  used  a 
knife  to  sculpt  the  shapes  he 
wanted. 

As  he  worked,  Bissette  had  to 
remind  himself  that  "art  begins 
with  good  composition."  He  is  not 
sure,  though,  when  he  realized  he 
had  a  collection  in  the  making. 

"I  kept  working  and  throwing 
away,"  he  said.  The  collection  "just 
evolved."  Bissette  selected  pieces 
for  the  collection  only  if  they  were 
both  scientifically  accurate  and  ar- 
tistically satisfying.  They  also  had 
to  be  complementary  to  the  other 
pieces  in  terms  of  color  and  form. 

Bissette  donated  the  collection 
to  UNCW  partly  because  the  uni-

source  and  the  suspected  location  of  a  giant  black  hole. 


versity  had  already  shown  an  inter- 
est in  it.  After  Bissette  completed 
his  collection,  a  national  review 
committee  of  scientists,  artists  and 
educators  approved  it  for  exhibi- 
tion in  planetariums  and  science 
museums.  With  the  sponsorship  ot 
UNCW  and  the  Motehead  Plan- 
etarium in  Chapel  Hill,  Bissette 
planned  a  traveling  exhibition  tot 
the  United  States  and  Canada.  Af- 
ter difficulties  prohibited  that  tour 
—  specifically  the  size  of  the  col- 
lection, scheduling  problems  and 
the  difficulty  of  obtaining  corpo- 
rate grants  during  a  recession  — 
Bissette  donated  the  collection  to 
UNCW. 

University  officials  are  quite 
pleased  by  Bissette's  gift,  and  while 
"The  Universe  According  to  Earth" 
is  certainly  not  the  only  art  collec- 
tion ever  donated  to  UNCW,  it  is 
not  a  typical  donation. 

"It  is  not  unusual  for  the  uni- 
versity to  receive  quality  collec- 
tions," said  Tyrone  Rowell,  associ- 
ate vice  chancellor  tor  University- 
Advancement.  "What  is  unusual 
about  this  gift  is  that  the  art  is 
unique  in  its  scope  and  originality." 
The  combination  ot  art  and  as- 
tronomy in  this  collection  is  one 


Rowell  believes  will  spark  people's 
interest  in  science. 

A  second,  more  eclectic  collec- 
tion of  Bissette's  work  is  also  on 
display  at  UNCW,  in  University 
Center  through  Dec.  17.  "The  Uni- 
verse According  to  Earth"  will  find 
its  permanent  home  in  the  next 
major  building  to  be  constructed  at 
UNCW.  In  the  interim,  the  uni- 
versity will  make  the  collection 
available  on  loan  to  educational  in- 
stitutions, planetariums,  and  muse- 
ums interested  in  showing  it. 

"If  the  collection  is  going  to  do 
any  good,  it  needs  to  be  exposed  in 
an  academic  setting  and  a  public 
setting,"  Bissette  said.  People  in 
today's  society  place  so  much  em- 
phasis on  the  material  and  the  im- 
mediate that  most  do  not  take  the 
time  to  consider  aesthetics,  reli- 
gion, philosophy,  or  science;  in- 
stead, we  tend  to  leave  these  ques- 
tions to  the  academics.  Bissette  be- 
lieves there  is  a  need  tor  more  edu- 
cation in  these  fields,  and  he  hopes 
"The  Universe  According  to  Eatth" 
will  help.

for  1993-94.  A  sophomore, 
Gershon  is  a  swimmer  for 
UNCW. 


Hundreds  of  UNCW  alumni,  staff,  faculty,  students  and  friends 
picked  up  their  hard  hats  at  the  door  and  toured  Wise  Alumni 
House  at  "Hard  Hat"  parties  held  Aug.  6  and  Oct.  2  and  3.  In- 
tended as  fund-raisers  to  help  retire  the  5400,000  debt  for  renovation  of 
UNCWs  future  alumni  home,  the  parties  helped  bring  in  $155,000. 

The  first  phase  of  the  renovations  —  which  covered  refurbishing  all  ma- 
jor household  systems,  but  not  cosmetic  items  like  floor  refinishing,  interior 
painting  and  landscaping  —  will  be  completed  by  December. 

Donors  can  "buy"  a  piece  of  Wise  House  for  gifts  ranging  from  $2,000  to 
$35,000  or  more.  All  of  the  house's  nine  mantels  —  available  for  a  donation 
of  $2,000  —  have  been  snatched  up,  as  have  four  of  the  columns  on  the 
front  portico,  Mrs.

porte  cochere,  the  main 
staircase,  and  the  iron- 
plated  storage  cabinet 
where  Jessie  KenanWise 
kept  her  liquor  under 
lock  and  key. 

Still  available  as  we 
go  to  press  are  four  por- 
tico columns,  the  main 
lobby,  conference 
rooms  and  bedrooms, 
the  kitchen,  the  side 
porch  and  the  circular 
garden.

Director's 
Message 

Our  alumni  are  geared  up  for  an 
other  great  year.  Already,  the 
UNCW  Alumni  Association  has 
welcomed  the  freshman  and  senior  classes, 
our  alumni-in-residence,  with  first-of-the- 
year  picnics.  We've  also  supported  our  bas- 
ketball and  soccer  alumni  with  funding  to 
assist  in  their  recent  Homecoming  events. 

Thanks  to  your  support,  we've  already 
raised  more  than  $150,000  in  gifts  and 
pledges  for  Wise  Alumni  House.  We  ask 
that  you  strongly  consider  designating  your 
Loyalty  Fund  gift  this  year  to  Wise  Alumni 
House.  Our  loan  repayment  will  be  made 
easier  with  your  help! 

Be  sure  to  mark  your  calendar  for  up- 
coming pre-game  socials,  especially  Home- 
coming on  Feb.  12.  The  Alumni  Associa- 
tion will  also  sponsor  a  raffle  for  a  17 -foot 
Boston  Whaler  Montauk.  Tickets  will  be 
on  sale  during  home  basketball  games. 

Be  on  the  lookout  tor  a  questionnaire 
from  Harris  Publishing  Co.,  which  will  pub- 
lish our  first  alumni  directory  in  late  1994, 
the  year  of  our  25th  anniversary.  Your 
timely  response  will  help  make  the  direc- 
tory a  success. 

"Hats  off  to  our  M.B.A.  Alumni 
Chapter  for  a  successful  Lifelong  Learning 
Conference  in  September,  their  first.  The 
Triangle  Chapter  hit  a  home  run  with  its 
annual  Durham  Bulls  game  cookout  in  Au- 
gust. Fayetteville  area  alumni  got  together 
for  a  picnic  and  a  Generals  game  in  early 
August.  Cape  Fear  area  alumni  had  a  great 
time  at  their  Halloween  bash.  Thanks  to  all 
alumni  who  attended  and  supported  these 
events.  If  you're  interested  in  assisting  with 
or  hosting  an  alumni  event  in  your  area, 
please  give  me  a  call.  We  want  to  serve  our 
alumni  and  look  forward  to  your  participa- 
tion in  your  alumni  program. 

Remember,  the  alumni  association 
needs  you  and  your  voice  to  move  forward. 
Renew  your  affiliation  if  you  have  been  in- 
active and  take  pride  in  your  UNCW  heri- 
tage. Our  Seahawks  are  soaring;  come  soar

Alumni  Directory  Will  Help  You 
Find  Old  Friends 


inding  a  former  classmate  can  be  just  like  looking  for  the  pro- 

J  verbial  "needle  in  a  haystack."  But  not  much  longer.  Soon  an 
JL  impressive  directory  of  all  our  alumni  will  be  available  to  help 
you  locate  your  old  friends. 

The  new  University  of  North  Carolina  at  Wilmington  Alumni 
Directory,  scheduled  for  release  in  October/November  1994,  will  be 
the  most  up-to-date  and  complete  reference  on 
more  than  14,000  UNCW  alumni  ever  compiled. 
This  comprehensive  volume  will  include  current 
name,  address  and  phone  number,  academic 
data,  plus  business  information  (if  applicable), 
bound  into  a  classic,  library-quality  edition. 

The  alumni  association  has  contracted 
with  Bernard  C.  Harris  Publishing  Co.  to 
produce  our  directory.  Harris  will  shortly  be- 
gin researching  and  compiling  information  to 
be  printed  in  the  directory  by  mailing  a  ques- 
tionnaire to  each  alumnus. 

The  first  edition  of  the  UNCW  Alumni  Di- 
rectory will  soon  make  finding  a  UNCW  alumnus 
as  easy  as  opening  a  book.  Look  for  more  details 
on  the  project  in  upcoming  issues.

As  America  prepares  to  watch 
the  1996  Olympics  in  At- 
lanta,  one   UNCW   alum 
plans   to   compete.    Curt 
Browder  '92,  men's  varsity 
crew  coach  at  University 
North    Carolina   Chapel 
Hill,  is  preparing  to  qualify 
for  the  U.S.  crew  team  next 
summer. 

Browder  competes  na- 
tionally with  the  Penn  Ath- 
letic Club,  a  group  he  quali- 
fied for  with  a  "resume"  of 
swift  times  on  both  water 
and  an  ergometer  (rowing 
machine ) .  This  summer,  Browder  and 
his  Penn  teammates  won  the  Inter- 
mediate 8  event  (eight  rowers  to  a 
shell  with  coxswain)  and  placed  third 
in  the  Intermediate  4  (four  rowers 
without  coxswain)  at  the  American 
Rowing  Championships  in  Topeka, 
Kansas. 

Browder  is  hard  at  work  on  his 
winter  training  regimen,  which  con- 
sists of  two  hours'  rowing  on  water 
five  or  six  days  a  week,  90  minutes  on 
an  ergometer  four  or  five  times  a 
week,  and  two  hours  of  weight  train- 


ing three  times  a  week. 

"I  need  to  be  stronger  because  of 
the  people  I'm  competing  against," 
Browder  said.  "The  aver- 
age rower  is  6  foot  four 
inches  and  200  pounds, 
and  I'm  only  6  foot  one, 
185.  I  need  to  be  15  sec- 
onds faster  when  I  go  back 
this  summer." 

Every  competitive 
rower  begins  at  the  inter- 
mediate level  and  works 
his  way  up.  After  a  vic- 
tory, the  rower  moves  to 
the  senior  level;  two  wins 
at  the  senior  level  promotes  a  rower 
to  the  elite  class.  Only  members  of 
the  elite  class  make  it  to  the  national 
team.  Browder  is  now  at  the  senior 
level. 

Browder  will  return  to  the  Penn 
team  in  May  to  begin  preparing  for 
the  Elite  Nationals  in  June  in  India- 
napolis, when  his  senior  team  will 
compete  against  top-notch  crews. 
Then  in  July,  it's  back  to  Topeka  for 
the  American  Rowing  Champion- 
ships.

UNCW  administrators  receive 
state,  national  appointments 


The    reputation    of   UNCW 
grows  with  the  appointment 
of  two  top  administrators  to 
state  and  national  programs. 

In  February,  Chancellor  James 
R.  Leutze  was  named  to  Gov.  Jim 
Hunt's  Commission  for  a  Competi-

K.  Moss,  provost  and  vice  chancellor 
for  academic  affairs,  was  named  chair- 
man of  the  Scientific  Advisory  Board 
of  the  Strategic  Environmental  Re- 


search and  Development  Program 
(SERDP). 

The  Commission  for  a  Competi- 
tive North  Carolina  is  a  centerpiece 
of  Gov.  Hunt's  drive  to  create  a  well- 
based,  long-term  vision  for  North 
Carolina.  It  is  comprised  of  40  ap- 
pointees, including  leaders  in  bank- 
ing, education,  journalism,  law,  real 
estate,  manufacturing  and  service 
sectors  and  non-profit  foundations. 

The  commission  will  focus  on

After  tour  seasons  coaching  the 
UNCW  Seahawks,  Kevin  Eastman 
has  headed  to  Washington  State 
University  and  the  Pacific- 10  Con-

$110,000,  plus  incentives,  totaling 
more  than  $  1  million  over  five  years. 


During  his  tenure  at  UNCW,  he 
led  the  Seahawks  to  a  59-53  record 
and  their  second  highest  victory  to- 
tal after  an  18-10  season,  equaling 
the  second-most  victories  in  school 
history. 

He  was  the  Seahawks'  fourth

Shinn  gets 
state  award 


For  his  many  contributions  to 
the  "welfare  of  the  human 
race,"  UNCW  Professor 
Gerald  H.  Shinn  was  awarded  the 
1994  O.  Max  Gardner  Award. 

Established  by  the  will  of  the 
late  Gov.  Gardner,  the  award  is  the 
only  statewide  honor  given  to  faculty 
members  by  the  University  of  North 
Carolina  Board  of  Governors.  It  was 
presented  on  May  13  at  the  Friday 
Continuing  Education  Center  in 
Chapel  Hill,  and  Dr.  Shinn  was  rec- 
ognized during  UNCW's  commence- 
ment ceremony. 

"What  pleased  me  was  not  my 
getting  it,"  Shinn  said.  "It's  that  this 
is  the  first  for  UNCW.  It's  nice  we 
got  one." 

Although  Shinn's  contributions 
are  numerous,  he  is  quick  to  point 
out  that  the  award  does  not  recog- 
nize his  work  alone  but  rather  the 
efforts  of  many  individuals  at  the 
university. 

"I  don't  look  at  this  as  a  single 
person's  accomplishments.  It's  truly 
a  group  effort,"  he  said.  "I  don't  take 
credit  for  all  these  things." 

The  professor  of  philosophy  and 
religion  was 
nominated  for 
the  award  by 
Chancellor 
James  Leutze 
and  Dr.  Carolyn 
Simmons,  dean 
of  UNCW's  Col- 
lege of  Arts  and 
Sciences,  and 
many  individuals 
wrote  in  support  of  the  nomination. 

Among  Shinn's  accomplish- 
ments are  Parnassus  on  Wheels,  a 
one-on-one  effort   to  combat   illit-

As  he  looks  forward  to  retiring  in 
June  1995,  Dr.  Gerald  Shinn  said  he'd 
much  rather  be  remembered  by  his 
"young'uns"  than  by  a  building  or 
street  named  for  him. 

To  honor  his  request,  UNCW 
Magazine  is  asking  those  "young'uns" 
who  felt  Shinn's  influence  during  his 
27-year  career  to  write  down  some  of 
their  favorite  stories  and  memories 
and  send  them  to  us  for  inclusion  in  a 
future  edition.

Shinn  explained  there  is  one 
common  thread  that  runs  among 
these  different  programs. 

"I  want  my  young'uns  here  at 
UNCW  to  rub  shoulders  and  have 
contact  with  the  great  men  and 
women  of  the  world,  and  these  things 
do  that,"  he  said. 


Achievements  are  recognized 


Three  graduating  seniors  were 
honored  at  commencement  May  14 
for  their  achievements  while  attend- 
ing UNCW. 

Heather  Jean  Petroff  of  Wilm- 
ington was  given  the  Senior  Leader- 
ship Award,  co-sponsored  by  the 
UNCW  Alumni  Association  and  the 
Leadership  Center.  She  received  a 
$200  cash  award,  a  plaque  and  an 
official  UNCW  lamp  engraved  with 
her  name. 

Mamie  Lynn  Strickland  of  Ta- 


bor City  was  given  the  Alumni 
Achievement  Award  for  achieving 
the  highest  grade  point  average  dur- 
ing four  years  at  UNCW.  Her  aver- 
age was  3.956. 

The  Hoggard  Medal  for  most 
improvement  went  to  Kelly  Marie 
Brooks  of  Raleigh. 

A  total  of  946  degrees  were 
awarded  during  the  commencement 
ceremony  which  featured  Dr.  Alice 
M.  Rivlin,  one  of  the  country's  top 
economists,  as  speaker.

Dedicated  to  the  memory  of 

^Donald  1?.  Watson 


By  Marybeth  Bianchi 

During  his  lifetime 

Donald    R.    Watson    was 
characterized  as  a  caregiver 
who  loved  his  family  and  his  com- 
munity. 

"He  just  liked  to  help  people," 
said  his  widow,  Monica. 

"The  more  you  give  away,  the 
more  you  get.  He  believed  that. 
The  more  he  helped  other  people 
and  the  more  money  he  would 
give,  he  believed  it  would  come 
back,  so  it  was  always  there  to  do 
it  again." 

He  was  a  successful  businessman 
and  one  who  will  be  long  remem- 
bered for  his  generosity  to  UNCW 
and  the  School  of  Education. 

In  March,  just  before  his  death, 
Watson  made  a  donation  which 
brought  his  lifetime  giving  to  the  uni- 
versity to  more  than  $2  million.  It 
established  a  distinguished  professor- 
ship and  an  endowment  for  the  School 
of  Education  plus  a  major  merit  schol- 
arship  program  for  the  university.  In 
return,  UNCW  named  the  School  of 
Education  in  his  honor. 

"Don  Watson  has  done  some- 
thing of  significance  that  will  have 
an  important  impact  tor  years  to 
come.  He  was  a  man  ot  vision.  Not 
only  was  he  thinking  of  what  would 
help  the  school  in  1994,  but  he 
looked  ahead  to  2094,"  Chancellor 
James  Leut:e  said  when  the  gift  was 
announced. 

"Don  Watson  was  a  real  leader 
who  was  extremely  generous  with  his 


wealth  and  assets.  He  believed  edu- 
cation .was  very  important  to  the 
people  of  Wilmington  and  New  Ha- 
nover County  and  that  the  univer- 
sity was  a  major  factor  in  the  eco- 
nomic development  of  the  county," 
said  Robert  Warwick,  co-chairman 
of  UNCW's  capital  campaign.  "He 
wanted  to  return  something  to  the 
university  which  had  a  major  impact 
on  his  business.  He  was  willing  to 
share  what  he  had  with  the  university." 
Robert  Tyndall,  dean  ot  the  school 
ot  education,  said  it's  a  great  honor  to 
have  been  selected  from  all  the  pos- 
sible high  quality  programs  available 
as  the  recipient  of  such  a  legacy. 


"One  of  the  goals  of  the  School 

of  Education  is  to  build  a  broad  source 

of  support  in  the  community.  The 

primary  goal  is  for  enrichment  and 

resources  for  faculty  and  students," 

Tyndall  said. 

Watson's  gift  "makes  a  sig- 
nificant impact  on  the  kinds  of 
experiences  we  can  give  to  stu- 
dents," Dr.  Brad  Walker,  direc- 
tor of  student  studies  in  the  School 
of  Education,  said.  It  will  help 
the  School  of  Education  bring 
state-of-the  art  equipment  and  ma- 
terials needed  for  the  preparation 
ot  quality  teachers. 

The  establishment  ot  an  en- 
dowed professorship  is  significant  for 
a  school  of  this  si:e,  which  is  training 
approximately  850  students  tor  teach- 
ing careers,  Walker  said.  It  will  allow 
UNCW  to  draw  top  national  educa- 
tors to  enhance  the  program,  which 
he  believes  is  already  respected  across 
the  state. 

"To  have  someone  like  Mr.  Wat- 
son recognize  and  feel  good  about 
our  accomplishments  gives  us  a  vote 
of  confidence,"  Walker  said. 

Before  Watson's  death,  the 
School  of  Education  presented  him 
with  a  resolution  which  recognized 
the  dedication  in  his  "personal,  pub- 
lic and  business  life  to  advancing 
the  quality  of  life  for  the  citizens  oi 
Wilmington." 

The  resolution  also  pointed  out 
that  Watson  "expressed  his  belief  in 
the  mission  of  the  School  of  Educa-

tion  in  producing  teachers  for  public 
schools  who  are  of  the  highest  intel- 
lectual ability,  who  demonstrate  ex- 
cellence in  technical  competencies 
and  who  display  a  deep  and  abiding 
passion  for  developing

about  it.  That's  just  how  he  was," 
Mrs.  Watson  said  of  her  late 
husband's  donation.  "1  was  delighted 
when  he  started  the  scholarship  be- 
cause it's  something  I  wanted  to  do 
for  a  long  time." 

Watson  was  born  in  1926  in 
Kenly,  one  of  eight  children  raised 
by  their  mother  after  their  father  was 
killed  in  a  car  accident.  When  he 
graduated  from  high  school,  he  got  a 
job  at  the  Norfolk,  Va.  shipyards, 
"until  he  ran  away  and  went  in  the 
Marines,"  Mrs.  Watson  said. 

He  proved  himself  early  on. 

His  unit  was  pinned  down  by  en- 
emy gunfire  during  a  siege  on 
Okinawa.  Instead  of  waiting  for  the 
tide  to  turn,  Watson  took  matters 


destroy  the  en- 
emy. For  his  effort  he  was 
awarded  the  Bronze  Star. 

"He  was  always  up  for  a  chal- 
lenge. That  probably  was  just  the 
beginning  of  it,"  Mrs.  Watson  said. 
"If  there  was  something  he  wanted 
to  do  or  needed  to  do,  he  did  it.  I 
guess  it  just  changed  to  different 
things  as  he  got  older." 

After  World  War  II,  Watson 
studied  accounting  at  Elon  College 
and  was  a  partner  in  an  accounting 
firm  in  Richmond.  In  1966,  while 
advising  a  client  about  an  invest- 
ment, he  became  involved  in  a  part- 
nership that  led  him  to  Wilmington 
and  the  Pepsi-Cola  bottling  plant 
from  which  his  wealth  was  to  grow. 

In  1969,  the  partnership  pur- 
chased an  interest  in  die  7-UPplant,and 
that's  when  he  became  business  part- 
ners wirhCarl  Brown. 


"We  really  did  become  good 
friends.  Not  only  were  we  busi- 
ness associates,  we  were  good 
friends,"  Brown  said.  The  two 
remained  partners  until  Pepsi- 
Cola  Bottling  Co.  was  sold  to 
the  parent  company  in  1988 
when  they  realized  "it  wasn't 
tun  to  be  in  business  any 
more,"  Mrs.  Watson  com- 
mented. 

Watson's  business  in- 
terests were  diverse.  In 
addition  to  the  Pepsi- 
Cola  Bottling  Co.,  he 

invested  in  WMFD  ra- 
\ 

dio    station,     later 
merging      it     with 
WHSL  in  the  1980s. 
y    He  also  had  an  in- 
terest in  Carolina 
Pipe  Company. 
While  mak- 
ing money  was 
important,  Wat- 
son wasn't  one  to 
keep  it  all  to  himself.  He  was 
heavily  involved  in  the  Wilmington 
area  community  and  supported  nu- 
merous causes. 

"He  always  felt  if  you  have  the 
ability  to  do  things,  you  ought  to 
take  advantage  of  it  and  be  giv- 
ing," Brown  said.  "He  really  did 
have  a  giving  way  about  him.  He 
was  very  generous.  When  some- 
thing was  shown  to  him  and  there 
was  need  and  it  would  benefit  a 
large  number  of  people,  he  was  will- 
ing to  go  out  and  work  for  it." 

Watson  served  as  chairman  of 
the  United  Way's  capital  campaign 
which  raised  funds  to  build  facili- 
ties for  the  Salvation  Army,  YMCA 
and  Brigade  Boys  Club.  As  past 
president  of  the  Wilmington 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  he  was  in- 
volved in  the  drive  to  construct  a 
new  building,  and  in  recognition 
of  his  efforts  the  board  room  was 
named  after  him.

at  approximately  $1.3  million.  That

contribution  was  used  to  establish  two 
endowed  chairs,  one  in  the  School 
of  Education  and  another  in  marine 
sciences. 

Although  he  was  very  success- 
ful, Watson  was  not  the  staid  busi- 
nessman some  might  imagine. 

"He  was  a  character.  You  never 
knew  what  kind  of  trouble  he  was  go- 
ing to  get  into.  It  wasn't  really  trouble, 
it  was  mischief,"  his  wife  noted. 

One  such  incident  revolves 
around  a  business  trip  to  Anaheim, 
Calif.,  in  1976. 

Watson  and  Brown  took  time  out 
from  the  bottlers'  convention  they 
were  attending  for  a  little  sightseeing 
drive  along  the  coast  heading  for 
Mexico.  Along  the  way,  they  saw  a 
sign  for  San  Clemente. 

"We  know  somebody  who  lives 
here,  don't  we?"  Watson  is  reported 
to  have  asked  his  friend.  They  pulled 
into  a  service  station  and  easily  got 
directions  to  the  home  of  former  Presi- 
dent Richard  Nixon.  After  a  30- 
minute  wait  while  a  security  check 
was  run  by  the  Secret  Service,  Watson 
and  Brown  got  in  to  see  Nixon  and 
chatted  for  about  30  minutes. 

"He  was  extremely  cordial  and 
very  glad  to  see  us,"  Brown  said  of  the 
former  president.   He  noted   th.n 


"It  was  just  a  very  memorable  time." 

Watson  particularly  liked  to  get 
away  to  the  family's 
property  in  Bruns- 
wick County,  where 
he  and  his  father-in- 
law,  Hulet  Croom, 
would  blaze  trails  in 
the  woodlands. 

"He'd  get  his 
cowboy  hat,  put  on 
his  snake  boots, 
strap  his  pistol  to 
his  side  and  head  for 
the  woods,"  Mrs. 
Watson  recalled. 
"That's  what  he  en- 
joyed doing  every 
Saturday  and  other 
days  when  the 
weather  was  nice." 

Sometimes  he'd 
get  crates  of  old  veg- 
etables from  the  gro- 
cery store  and  take 
them  to  the  woods  to  feed  the  bears 
that  roamed  there.  Other  days  the 
whole  family  would  go  out  for  a  big 
picnic. 

The  family  was  important  to 
Watson,  his  wife  said. 

"We    always   had    family   get 
togethers  at  Thanksgiving.  We  had 


an  enormous  cookout  on  the  Fourth 
of  July.  I  patted  the  burgers  and  he 
cooked  them,  then  we  made  home- 
made ice  cream,"  she  said. 

There  was  a  sentimental  side  to 
Watson.  He  liked  playing  the  grand 
piano  that  takes  up  a  corner  of  the 
family  home.  He  wrote  poetry  at  the 
birth  of  each  grandchild. 

He  enjoyed  watching  the  young- 
sters march  in  parades  and  hold  races 
on  the  driveway.  Because  he  worried 
about  them  falling  and  skinning  theit 
knees  on  the  rough  pavement,  he  put 
in  an  expansive,  smooth  concrete 
drive  that  Mrs.  Watson  likened  to  an 
airport  runway. 

"He  was  always  thinking  about 
the  kids,"  she  said. 

And  in  return,  the  kids  will  be 
thinking  about  him  this  summer 
when  the  entire  family,  14  children 
and  grandchildren,  takes  a  trip  to 
Disney  World,  where  Watson  al- 
ways got  into  the  spirit  of  things 


"We're  all  going  to  Disney  and  march  in 
the  parade,  just  for  him.  We're  doing  it  in 
his  honor,  and  he'll  he  with  us  100 

percent  of  the  time."

and  ended  up  marching  in  the  pa- 
rade and  having  his  photo  taken 
with  Mickey  Mouse. 

"We're  all  going  to  Disney  and 
march  in  the  parade,  just  for  him," 
Mrs.  Watson  said.  "We're  doing  it  in 
his  honor,  and  he'll  be  with  us  100 
percent  of  the  time."

"We  create  our  own  heaven  or 
hell,  and  it  really  is  that  simple. 
We  control  so  much,"  said  Moore, 
42,  who  graduated  from  the  Uni- 
'  Versify  of  North  Carolina  at  Wilm- 
ington in  Dece>rnber  1974  with  de- 
grees in  philosophy  and  history. 

"All  things  are  possible.  There 
are  no  limitations,  add  we  can  lit- 
erally create  our  own  heaven.  That 
doesn't  mean  we  don't  get  glimpses 
of  hell,,  but  that'^how  you  grow. 

"I  don't  think  this  is  the  final 
"  reason  I'm  here,  but  it's  part  of  the 
journey.  Once  you  deliver  yourself, 
it  will  unfold." 

What  has  been  unfolding  for 
the  past  five  years  is  the  Waterways 
Collection.  It  all  started  when 
MoQje  took  three  months  to  create 
a  colorful,  artistically  rendered  map 
of  the  Cape  Fear  coast  which 
proved  to  be  popular  with  local 
shoppers. 

"It  was  very  successful,"  he 
said,  and  reasoned,  "If  there's  a 
niche  for  this  here,  there's  a  niche 


for  it  in  other  places." 

His  next  map  was  of  the  Sa- 
vannah River  basin. 

The  problem  he  ran  into  wi 
his  second  attempt  was  finding 
people  interested  in  buying  it. 
With  maps  in  hand,  he  traveled

Every  map  Moore  draws  is  accompanied 
by  a  poem  he  writes. 


Georgia  and,  in  his  words,  "had  a 
hellacious  time." 

He  said  "the  whole  dream  al- 
most unraveled"  when  he  found 
there  was  little  interest  in  his  work 
at  the  art  galleries  he  visited. 

His  mistake,  he  realized  after 
his  first  day  marketing  his  maps, 
was  that  he  was  looking  for  custom- 
ers in  the  wrong  place.  The  people 
he  wanted  to  reach  were  those  who 
wanted  reasonably  priced  art  which 
held  a  meaning  for  them.  Moore  re- 
alized that  his  maps  were  popular 
not  only  with  tourists  hut  also 
coastal  residents. 

"Whether  you  vacation  in  a 
place  and  love  it,  or  live  in  it,  it's 
the  same  thing,"  he  said.  So  he 
turned  to  gift  shops  and  similar 
outlets  ot  which  there  are  now  400 
nationwide  selling  his  maps. 

The  maps  ot  coastal  areas  which 
Moore  creates  are  no  ordinary  maps; 
they  are  works  ot  art  which  are  very 
accurate  in  their  detail. 

His  design  is  borrowed  from  a 
concept  more  than  300  years  old. 

"It's  a  new  twist  on  something 
very  old,"  he  said.  The  maps  used 
by  early  explorers  were  often  lush 


illustrations  of  the  coastal  areas 
they  traversed. 

Moore  works  from  several  dif- 
ferent references  including  NOAA 
charts,  geological  survey  maps,  sat- 
ellite images  and  aerial  photos.  He 
visits  each  site,  taking  in  the  sur- 
roundings to  get  a  feel  for  the 
place,  to  see  what  it  is  people  love 
about  the  area.  In  addition,  he 
does  historical  research  on  each 
area,  which  he  uses  for  the  poems 
which  make  his  works  more  than 
just  maps. 

In  the  past  five  years  since  the 
tirst  Cape  Fear  map  was  sold, 
Moore  has  been  busy  creating  more 
than  30  other  maps  of  coastal  areas 
along  the  East  Coast  and  Gulf 
Coast.  He  has  done  the  Great 
Lakes  and  has  moved  on  to  the 
West  Coast  and  even  Alaska. 

Last  year  he  trekked  2,300 
miles  from  Seattle  to  San  Diego. 

"I  literally  saw  every  inch  of 
the  West  Coast,"  he  said. 

During  his  trip,  he  kept  a  log 
which  outlined  what  he  saw  and 
experienced  along  the  way.  Back 
home,  he  is  using  that  information 
to  jog  his  memory  and  provide  in- 


spiration when  creating  his  maps. 

"It  all  comes  back  just  as  clear 
as  if  you're  there,"  he  said. 

A  visit  to  each  location  is  an 
important  part  of  the  creative  pro- 
cess for  Moore. 

"To  be  in  Cape  Cod  for  five 
minutes  is  more  valuable  than 
reading  about  it  for  a  month,"  he 
said.  "To  see  those  trees,  to  see 
those  shadows,  to  breathe  the  air  is 
such  a  wonderful  feeling." 

It  is  that  feeling  which  Moore 
tries  to  convey  in  each  and  every 
map  he  creates,  from  the  vignettes 
of  historic  places  and  other  things 
which  endear  the  area  to  people,  to 
the  words  of  the  poems  which  ac- 
company the  maps. 

Moore  also  hides  a  rabbit 
somewhere  in  each  painting.  He 
said  he  started  putting  the  animal 
there  "to  remind  me  of  how  lucky  I 
was  to  do  what  I  love,"  but  now  it 
has  become  an  interesting  angle  for 
marketing  as  customers  search  each 
work  for  the  rabbit,  which  Moore 
admitted  he  sometimes  has  a  hard 
time  finding  in  his  older  works. 

The  business  started  with  just 
$1,200  and  was  a  "very  enlighten- 


Visiting  each  coastal  area  before  sitting  down  to  paint  is  an  important  part  of  the 
creative  process  for  artist  Terry  Moore.  Each  painting  includes  a  poem  and  corner 
vignettes  of  historic  and  important  coastal  features.

ing  journey,"  Moore  remembers. 
Both  he  and  partner  Chip  Hopkins, 
who  handles  the  business  and  mar- 
keting end  of  things,  worked  a  long 
time  with  little  money  coming  in, 
but  they  eventually  built  up  a  very 
successful  business. 

The  Waterways  Collection  has 
grown  to  include  a  line  of  note 
cards,  T-shirts  and  sweatshirts  all 
bearing  the  colorful  maps.  The 
company  has  four  full-time  employ- 
ees and  two  part-timers.  Last 
Christmas,  they  opened  a  sea- 
sonal retail  store  in  Virginia 
Beach  and  are  considering 
opening  a  store  in  Norfolk 
full-time  to  market  an  ex- 
panded product  line  of  the 
Waterways  Collection. 

While  he  enjoys  a  com- 
fortable income  doing  some- 
thing he  enjoys,  Moore 
doesn't  keep  all  the  money  he 
makes  to  himself. 

"We  obviously  want  to  be 
successful.  We  want  to  make  a 
living,  but  the  dreams  beyond 
that  are  what  get  you  out  ot 
bed  in  the  morning,"  he  said. 
"We  have  always  hoped  our 
success  would  be  the  world's 
success. 

"We  love  children's  pro- 
grams and  ecological  programs 
that  are  not  far  left.  Our  total, 
absolute  dream  is  that  we'll  be 
able  to  take  a  percentage  of 
what  we  do  and  donate  to 
those  causes." 

Moore  said  he  hopes  one 
day  to  donate  the  originals  of  each 
work  he  has  created  to  various 
charities  for  fund-raising  purposes. 

"That's  our  goal  for  them. 
That's  why  we  won't  let  any  of  the 
originals  go,"  he  said. 

Moore  feels  he  is  fortunate  to 
be  one  of  the  few  artists  able  to 
make  a  living  with  their  work. 

"It's  what  it  does  to  your  soul, 
your  heart,  you  can't  measure.  If  it 
all  unravels  tomorrow,  it  would  all 
have  been  worth  it,"  he  said. 

Moore  gives  much  credit  to 


UNCW  for  his  successes  in  life  and 
said  he  was  "profoundly  influenced" 
by  several  professors  including  Dr. 
James  McGowan,  Dr.  Henry 
Crowgey  and  the  late  Dr.  Thomas 
Mosely. 

"There's  no  school  on  earth  I 
could  have  attended  that  would 
have  given  me  more  foundation  for 
what  I've  become  than  they  did," 
he  said.  "They  really  made  it  a  total 
education.  They  gave  me  a  good

foundation  in  what  reality  was. 
They  helped  me  have  the  ability  to 
really  maximize  what  my  perception 
was,  that  is,  the  glass  being  halt  full." 
Moore,  who  majored  in  philoso- 
phy and  history,  said  both  have  been 
instrumental  in  shaping  his  lite. 

"I  think  they've  given  me  a 
quality  ot  lite  I  could  not  have  ex- 
perienced it  I  had  taken  another 
major,"  he  said.  "They  gave  me 
the  foundation  to  experience  life 
to  its  fullest. 

"People  think  you  go  (to  col- 


lege) to  get  the  degree  and  that's  all. 
It's  all  the  other  things  you  get  that 
are  so  valuable,"  he  said.  Fur  him,  it 
was  his  involvement  in  the  UNCW 
Concert  Committee  that  in  the 
early  1970s  brought  the  rock  group 
Yes  to  campus  and  resulted  in  a 
friendship  with  band  members  that 
continues  to  this  day. 

"That's  been  a  really  enriching 
part  of  my  life,"  he  said. 

Even  though  Moore  said  "the 
very  core  and  being  ot  what  I  am  is 
involved  in  art,"  he  set  it 
aside  during  high  school 
and  college  to  pursue  inter- 
ests in  music.  He  devoted  a 
lot  of  time  to  the  guitar, 
composed  music  and  per- 
formed with  several  groups. 

In  fact,  he  didn't  take 
a  single  art  class  while  en- 
rolled at  UNCW. 

"That's  how  far  away  I 
was  from  it  at  the  time.  I 
almost  thought  the  art  had 
led  me  to  the  music,"  he 
said.  But  in  time  he  realized 
that  he  preferred  an  artist's 
lifestyle  to  that  of  a  musi- 
cian's and  picked  up  his 
paint  brushes  once  again. 
Leaving  a  secure  job 
as  manager  of  a  paint 
store,  Moore  embarked  on 
his  current  career  path 
with  the  full  support  ot  his 
wife,  Jane. 

"Her  belief  in  knowing 
what  I  could  do  as  an  artist 
meant  everything  in  the 
world  to  me,"  he  said. 

Looking  back  down  the  path 
that  led  him  to  where  he  is  now, 
Moore  said,  "This  journey  we  char- 
acterize as  life  is  so  much,  much 
more  than  birth  and  death.  There 
are  certain  lessons  to  learn.  I  keep 
chasing  the  dream  in  one  form  or 
another." 

As  to  the  future  he  says,  "1  in- 
tend to  do  England  and  Ireland. 
From  there  and  the  way  I  feel  the 
universe  is  the  limit.  Mars  hasn't 
been  done  yet!"

Gennadi 

Gerasimov 


Visiting  Russian  ambassador  comments  on  education 


By  Christy  Prevatt 
and  marybeth  blanchi 

This  spring,  UNCW  has  been 
privileged  to  have  on  its  staff 
Russian  Ambassador 
Gennadi  Gerasimov  as  a  distinguished 
visiting  professor  serving  both  the  po- 
litical science  and  communication 
studies  departments . 

Although  Ambassador  Gerasimov 
studied  international  laiv  at  Moscow 
University ,  he  chose  journalism  as  a 
career  starting  as  a  contributor  to 
New  Times  Weekly  and  then  moving 
on  to  World  Marxist  Review  in 
Prague,  Czechoslovakia. 

He  served  as  an  advisor  in  the 
Central  Committee  of  the  Communist 
party  for  three  years,  but  returned  to 
journalism  as  a  syndicated  columnist 
with  Novosti  Press  Agency,  spending 
almost  six  years  in  the  United  States 
during  the  1970s  and  1980s  as  editor- 
in-chief  of  Moscow  News  Weekly. 

When  perestroika  began,  he  was 
invited  to  join  the  USSR  diplomatic 
service  as  the  spokesman  for  the  Min- 


istry of  Foreign  Affairs  and  was  a 
guest  speaker  on  many  American  and 
European  television  programs  regard- 
ing Russia  and  its  changing  climate. 

After  President  Yeltsin  took  office 
m  1991 ,  Gerasimov  was  appointed 
USSR  and  later  Russian  Federation 
ambassador  to  Portugal.  During  that 
time  he  became  known  as  a  promoter 
of  small-  and  medium-size  business 
enterprise  development  for  Russia. 

During  his  semester  at  UNCW 
he  taught  a  seminar  titled  "Develop- 
ments in  Politics  and  Communication 
in  Russia  and  the  Soviet  Union." 


Q 


Can  you  describe  the  Rus- 
sian educational  system? 


A  The  main  difference  is  that 
it  is  free.  We  adopted  a  new 
constitution  by  referendum  on  De- 
cember 12  last  year.  The  constitu- 
tion has  articles  on  human  rights. 


Article  43:  "Each  person  shall  have 
the  right  to  education:  preschool, 
basic  general  and  secondary  voca- 
tional education."  Secondary  voca- 
tional education  is  just  like  your 
community  colleges. 

"In-state  or  municipal  educa- 
tion institutions  shall  be  guaran- 
teed to  be  accessible  to  all  citizens 
free  of  charge.  Each  person  shall  be 
entitled,  on  a  competitive  basis  and 
free  of  charge,  to  receive  a  higher 
education  in  state  or  municipal 
educational  institutions." 

So  it's  a  tree  education  in  the 
universities. 

Even  mote,  when  you  get  to 
the  university  you  get  an  allow- 
ance. We  call  it  a  stipend. 

Basic  general  education  shall 
be  compulsory  up  to  seven  years 
(about  age  15),  and  then  you  can 
continue  at  the  university  or  you 
can  go  to  a  secondary  vocational 
institution.

For  instance,  it  is  not  necessary 
for  you  to  be  in  school  for  1 1  years 
and  then  go  to  school  for  barbertry 
or  beauty  salon  business.  You  can 
study  beauty  salon  business  after 
seven  years,  or  something  else. 

So  it's  free.  It  was  always  free, 
and  it's  still  free.  But  when  I  men- 
tion this  1  always  add  my  own  com- 
ment. My  own  comment  is,  it's 
very  good  but  where  is  the  money? 

In  the  old  system,  we  had  all 
the  money  with  the  state  because 
the  state  was  the  owner  of  every- 
thing. And  the  state  gave  money  to 
the  universities.  Today,  the  money 
they  are  getting  is  only  tax  money, 
and  that's  simply  not  enough 
money  for  this  free  education.  So 
to  continue  with  this  free  educa- 
tion I  guess  we  are  going  to  have 
private  schools,  private  universi- 
ties. It's  going  to  happen.  It's  inevi- 
table. 

In  our  system  you  must  pass  an 
entrance  exam  on  a  competitive 
basis.  So  it  means  that  you  want  to 
be  a  journalist  you  apply,  you  till  in 
application.  But  there  may  be  ten 
people  who  want  to  be  there,  so 
you  compete  at  the  exams  and  only 
the  best  and  the  brightest  get  in. 

But  when  they  get  in,  they 
have  a  place  in  the  dormitory,  tree, 
and  they  have  stipends,  in  theory. 
In  practice  sometimes  the  dormi- 
tory is  difficult  to  get.  And  if  they 
have  good  marks,  all  A's,  then 
their  stipend  is  raised  25  percent. 
But  if  they  have  C's,  bad  marks, 
they  are  taken  off  the  stipend.  Pun- 
ishment. The  carrot  and  stick. 


QDo  Russians  have  different 
programs  for  students  of  dif- 
ferent levels,  like  our  gifted  pro- 
grams? 

A  No.  They  have  special 
schools  in  Moscow,  but  in 
general  they  are  not  for  gifted,  they 
are  specialized  emphasis. 

For  instance,  I  have  a  daughter 
of  15.  In  Moscow  she  attended  a 
school  with  emphasis  on  the  lan- 
guages. She  studied  English  from 
the  very  beginning. 

But  there  are  schools  with  em- 
phasis on  mathematics,  so  you 
choose.  You  ask  your  child,  "What 
do  you  want  to  know  more  about  - 
mathematics  or  literature  or  tech- 
nology?" 

But  in  small  cities  there  is  no 
choice.  It's  just  one  school  maybe, 
and  they  have  a  program  which  is  a 
unified  program  for  everybody.  And 
the  same  is  true  for  the  university. 

Here,  as  I  understand,  the  stu- 
dent is  on  his  own.  He  can  choose 
this  particular  subject,  that  particu- 
lar professor.  Not  so  in  Russia.  In 
Russia  you  must  get  a  certain  vol- 
ume of  knowledge.  When  you 
graduate  as  a  lawyer  or  as  a  journal- 
ist or  a  physician,  you  have  a  cer- 
tain amount  of  information  in  you, 
and  we  know  this  amount. 

For  instance,  I  noticed  here  in 
this  country  one  subject  which  in 
my  view  is  important  is  ignored  in 
school  and  university  which  is  ge- 
ogtaphy.  No  geography.  I  don't 
know  why.  Maybe  it's  out  of  fash- 
ion. Even  though  you  have  Na- 


tional Geographic  Society,  Na- 
tional Geographic  Magazine,  the 
best  photos,  and  still  they  don't 
know  geography.

yond  I 


iWhat  percentage  of  students 

seek  a  higher  education,  be- 

yondthe  seven  compulsory  years? 


Alt's  fairly  high.  It's  one  of  the 
achievements  of  the  old  re- 
gime. We  receive  a  very  well  edu- 
cated labor  force.  The  old  regime 
gave  education  to  many  people. 
Old  Russia  had  a  lot  of  illiteracy. 

I  don't  think  there  is  any  illit- 
eracy today.  I  think  it  was  abol- 
ished after  the  war. 

QDo  you  have  to  go  on  to  a 
university  to  be  assured  of 
getting  a  good  job? 

A  The  paradox  is  you  can  get 
good  education,  but  it  does 
not  automatically  mean  better 
money.  Because,  for  instance,  bus 
driver  or  garbage  collector  today 
gets  more  than  the  professor.  So  if 
you  are  for  the  money  maybe  just 
drop  out  of  school  after  the  seven 
classes,  forget  about  your  universi- 
ties, and  study  garbage  collection 
tor  a  week  or  two. 

QAre  all  Russians  assured  of 
a  good  education  regardless  of 
social  or  political  status? 

A  All  students  are  equal.  It's  up 
to  students  to  be  excellent  or 
average  students.  In  the  university,

peasant  children  can  meet  children 
of  VI IV  ;  or  example,  Gorbachev, 
his  family  is  peasant  family,  very 
poor.  He  remembers  he  was  going 
to  school  barefoot  because  they  had 
no  money  for  shoes.  But  he  went  to 


ent  story  because  we  are  moving  to 
a  market  economy  and,  then  they 
must  go  to  the  market  and  sell 
themselves. 

You  see,  the  phrase  "to  sell 
yourself  is  very  strange  for  Rus- 


we  must  talk  in  terms  of  competi- 
tion. Let  us  talk  in  terms  of  coop- 
eration. 


"I  noticed  here  in  this 
country  one  subject 
which  in  my  view  is

Moscow  University.  Upward  mobil- 
ity is  there. 

QDo  the  men  and  women  in 
Russia  have  equal  opportuni- 
ties for  education  and  careers  in 
Russia? 

A  Yes,  indeed.  We  have  very 
strange  things  happening  in 
Russia.  For  instance,  almost  all  our 
teachers  are  women.  Almost  all  our 
doctors  are  women.  That's  a  big 
surprise  for  you.  This  is  women's 
profession.  In  surgery,  we  have 
men,  maybe  50-50. 

Some  people  criticize  this  situ- 
ation because  from  the  very  begin- 
ning our  boys  are  surrounded  by 
women.  Some  argue  that  our  boys 
are  losing  their  macho. 

When  our  students  graduated 
in  the  old  days  they  had  jobs  wait- 
ing for  them.  We  had  no  unem- 
ployment. Today  it  may  be  a  differ- 


sians.  It  sounds  very  negative  for 
Russians,  but  we  must  change  our 
attitudes. 

There  is  something  that  we  lost 
which  is  job  security.  Now 
everyone  is  on  his  own  to  find  it,  a 
job,  so  there  may  be  adjustments. 

QCan  you  make  a  comparison 
between  Russian  and  Ameri- 
can students  and  how  they  can 
compete  in  a  global  marketplace? 
Do  you  think  the  Russians  have  an 
edge  over  the  Americans?  Or  vice 


A  I  don't  think  you  can  general- 
ize on  this.  It  depends  on  the 
students.  Some  Russian  students 
are  very  good  and  some  American 
students  are  very  good.  Of  course, 
you  have  an  advantage  of  the  lan- 
guage because  the  world  market  is 
speaking  English.  Rut  1  don't  think 


Q 


Do  you  think  your  daughter 
is  getting  a  good  education  in 
America?  Is  she  learn- 
ing as  much  in  the 
United  States  as  she 
would  in  Russia? 


a:: 


She  is  losing 
:ertam  things. 
There  are  differences 
in  programs  for  in- 
stance. She  certainly 
loses  in  geography  and 
history.  The  emphasis 
is  on  American  his- 
tory. American  history 
is,  of  course,  very  ex- 
citing, but  it's  only 
400,  500  years.  Rut  in 
mathematics  I  guess 
it's  okay,  the  same 
thing.  She  misses  the 
classes.  For  instance, 
in  our  schools  the  em- 
phasis is  on  Russian 
literature  which  is  very 
good  as  you  know.  Tolstoy, 
Dostoyevski  all  those  names  are 
well  known.  Here,  there's  no  em- 
phasis on  literature.  You  don't  read 
fiction  these  days. 


Q 


How  does  your  daughter  like 
her  school  here? 


A  She  likes  it.  She 
compares  our  system  with 
your  system  and  she  has  three  big 
differences,  and  she  likes  those 
three  differences.  These  differences 
are:  here  you  have  less  homework, 
less  discipline  and  more  fun.  I  do 
not  necessarily  agree  with  her 
analysis. 

In  Russia,  it  they  are  poor  stu- 
dents they  come  back  home  and  af- 
ter lunch  they  just  sit  and  two 
hours,  three  hours,  four  hours, 
homework,  homework  but  the  end 
result  is  they  know  their  geography.

CHARTING  the  CURRENTS  of  CHANGE 

UNCW  is  in  the  midst  of  a  five-year,  $15  million  capital  campaign  to  help  fund  important

gift  is  set  up  as  an  endowment 
whose  earnings  will  he  used  to  sup- 
port merit  scholarships  in  the 
university's  new  honors  program  for 
academically  gifted  students. 

To  symbolize  the  concept  of  the 
program,  a  grove  of  live  oak  trees 
was  planted  adjacent  to  Wagoner 
Hall,  the  campus  dining  facility. 

Chancellor  James  Leutze  said  it 
is  his  hope  "that  as  these  trees  grow 
to  become  strong  and  outreaching,

the  same  will  be  said  of  the 
NationsBank  Growing  Scholars 
program  as  it  brings  academically 
gifted  students  to  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  at  Wilmington." 

He  acknowledged  NationsBank's 
"distinguished  effort  to  guarantee 
the  growth  of  the  students  who  at- 
tend UNCW  and  to  help  us  recruit 
the  nation's  top  students." 

Sid  Warner,  North  Carolina 
Community  Banking  executive  for 
NationsBank,  said  the  gift  is  "a  di- 
rect investment  in  the  students  who 
are  the  future  of  this  community 
and  this  state." 


Landmark  Homes 
Inc.,  $50,000  to  es- 
tablish the  Landmark 
Homes  Merit  Endowment 
Scholarship.  The  scholar- 
ship fund  is  intended  to 
provide  undergraduate 
academic  scholarships  for 
students  attending 
UNCW.  The  first  prefer- 
ence for  the  scholarship 
will  he  given  to  qualified 
high  school  students  from 
southeastern  North  Caro- 
lina and  Horry  County, 
South  Carolina.  Students 
will  be  selected  on  the  ba- 
sis of  strong  academic 
standing  and  solid  moral 
character.  Their  course  of 
study  must  also  lead  them 
to  a  career  in  one  of  the 
following  areas:  account- 
ing, marine  biology,  phys- 


ics, mathematics,  chemistry,  mar- 
keting, economics,  English,  el- 
ementary or  middle  school  educa- 
tion, computer  science  or  business 
management. 

Bobby  Harrelson  and  Rex 
Stevens  of  Landmark  Homes  envi- 
sion that  "the  scholarship  will 
grow  over  the  years  and  promote 
the  means  for  many  of  the  best 
students  in  our  area  to  further 
their  education  at  the  University 
of  North  Carolina  at  Wilmington." 

Donald  R.  Watson,  total  life- 
time giving  more  than  $2 
million  (see  related  story,  page  4). 
The  largest  gift  to  the  university  to 
date  was  made  in  March,  following 
the  death  of  Mr.  Watson,  and  was 
announced  at  the  quarterly  UNCW 
Board  of  Trustees  meeting. 

The  donation  will  be  used  to 
establish  a  distinguished  professor- 
ship and  an  endowment  for  the 
School  of  Education  plus  a  major 
merit  scholarship  program  for  the 
university. 

UNCW  named  the  Donald  R.

recognition  of  the  donor.

Loyalty  is,  by  definition,  a 
state  of  allegiance,  faithfulness, 
dedication  and  commitment  to  a 
putpose. 

At  UNCW  that  purpose  is 
education  -  a  continually  improv- 
ing higher  quality  of  education. 
The  loyalty  of  alumni,  friends,  stu- 
dents, parents,  faculty  and  staff, 
through  their  annual  gifts  to 
UNCW,  is  what  enables  us  to 
reach  for  and  attain  lofty  goals  for 
our  students  and  faculty. 

Being  ranked  among  the  top 
25  regional  universities  in  the 
Southeast  for  the  second  year  in  a 
row  was  a  wonderful  accolade.  It  is 
proof  that  our  institution  is  con- 
tinuing to  provide  innovative  and 
outstanding  academic  and  re- 
search opportunities  for  students 
and  faculty.  Your  loyalty  this  past 
year  is  proof  that  you,  our  alumni 
and  friends,  have  a  vested  interest 
in  supporting  our  mission  to  make 
the  education  received  at  UNCW 
comparable  to  none. 

As  we  strive  to  provide  ad- 
vanced academic  opportunities, 
your  loyal  support  continues  to  be 
vitally  important. 

Your  gifts  were,  in  part,  re- 
sponsible for  our  being  able  to 
award  more  scholarships  than  ever 
before. The  students  that  money 
helped  to  educate  are  the  future  of 
our  institution  and,  more  broadly, 
our  communities.  We  hope  you 
feel  a  great  sense  of  pride  in  your 
participation. 

Our  new  giving  year  begins 
on  July  1.  Look  for  information  in 
the  mail  and  expect  to  hear  from 
us  by  phone.  We  thank  you  for 
your  past  support  and  ask  for  your 
continued  efforts  to  keep  UNCW 
the  outstanding  academic  institu- 
tion you  helped  build.

Reception 
is  hosted 
by  alumni 


The  UNCW 
Alumni  Association 
hosted  its  first  recep- 
tion for  graduating  se- 
niors, their  parents  and 
faculty  on  May  1  3  as 
part  of  commencement 
weekend  festivities. 

The  weather  was  perfect  and  the  setting  picturesque  as  nearly  250  people 
gathered  at  Wise  Alumni  House  for  the  outdoor  reception.  Tours  were  given 
of  the  Neoclassical  Revival  mansion  which  is  being  restored  by  the  alumni  as- 
sociation. Refreshments  were  served  on  the  newly  landscaped  front  lawn. 

Association  President  Marvin  Robison  welcomed  the  guests  and  gave  a 
brief  history  of  the  house  and  the  association's  fund-raising  efforts.  Chancellor 
James  Leutze  unveiled  a  walnut  plaque  listing  the  names  of  approximately  120 
December  1993  and  May  1994  graduates  whose  parents  made  donations  in  their 
honor  to  Wise  Alumni  House.  The  project  was  coordinated  by  Jessiebeth 
Geddie,  chairman  of  the  alumni  association's  student  development  committee. 

Alumni  can  join  the  fund-raising  effort  to  pay  off  the  $400,000  renova- 
tion loan  by  designating  a  portion  of  their  Loyalty  Fund  Contribution  to  the 
Wise  Alumni  House.  The  next  alumni  event  is  a  barbecue  on  October  22.

Wise  House  comes  to  life 


Once  vacant  and  neglected, 
the  Wise  Alumni  House  is 
coming  to  life. 
Phase  one  of  the  renovation 
project,  which  began  in  March  1993, 
has  been  completed,  and  some  land- 
scaping around  the  house  was  done  in 
time  for  the  Azalea  Festival.  Although 
not  part  of  the  plan,  the  floors  were      cover  the  cost  of  ba- 


gether  to  buy  the  side 
porch,  a  $5 ,000  value. 
So  far,  close  to 
$200,000  has  been 
raised  to  help  repay 
the  $400,000,  four- 
year  loan  from  United 
Carolina    Bank    to 


refinished  thanks  to  Carolco  Studios 
which  used  the  house  for  the  filming  ot 
"Road  to  Wellville"  starring  Anthony 
Hopkins.  The  film  company  also  put 
in  a  new  front  door. 

There  are  still  several  pieces  of  the 
Wise  Alumni  House  available  to  do- 


sic  renovations  to  the 
house. 

The  alumni  as- 
sociation   and    the 
Friends  of  UNCW  have  been  busy  pre- 
paring Wise  Alumni  House  for  the  De- 
signers Showcase,  which  is  planned  for 


nors.  They  range  in  price  from  $2,500     April  22  through  May  14,  1995.  More 


to  $30,000.  Only  two  columns,  at 
$2,500  each,  are  still  available.  The 
UNCW  Alumni  Association  Board  of 
Directors  put   their  pocketbooks  to- 


than  125  interior  designers  were  invited

nearly  $12,000  from  the  event. 


MBA  Alumni  Chapter  small  but  active 


One  of  UNCW's  smallest  alumni  chapters  is 
becoming  its  most  active.  Organized  in  1990, 
the  MBA  Alumni  Chapter  started  off  by  intro- 
ducing quarterly  roundtable  business  luncheons.  The 
events  featured  presidents  and  CEOs  ot  area  companies 
who  discussed  topics  ranging  from  recreational  boat  manu- 
facturing and  sales  to  foreign  business  environments  and 
opportunities. 

The  chapter  has  also  assisted  MBA  candidates  pre- 
paring for  the  final  rite  of  passage  before  becoming  MBA 
alumni.  Veterans  of  the  oral  boards  try  to  answer  as 
many  questions  as  possible  to  help  the  candidates  know 
what  to  expect. 


The  MBA  Alumni  Chapter  also  sponsored  a  resume 
project  which  sent  participating  alums'  resumes  to  more 
than  200  prospective  employers.  Also,  every  May,  the 
chapter  sponsors  a  dinner  honoring  graduating  MBA 
candidates. 

The  chapter  conducted  its  first  lifelong  learning 
conference  last  fall,  and  members  helped  with  orienta- 
tion sessions  for  incoming  MBA  students  just  prior  to 
the  beginning  of  the  fall  semester. 

Factors  which  account  for  the  liveliness  of  the  MBA 
Alumni  Chapter  at  UNCW  include  very  strong  support 
from  the  university  and  willingness  on  the  part  of  the 
220  chapter  members  to  try  new  ideas  and  help  others.

Message 

UNCW  alumni  and  friends  are  to 
be  commended  on  their  generous 
support  of  the  Wise  Alumni 
House,  as  renovation  progresses  and  fund- 
raising  efforts  continue  to  be  successful. 

We  have  moved  in  and  are  officially 
operating  from  the  "classiest"  alumni 
house  in  the  South!  I  invite  you  to  drop  by 
and  view  our  extraordinary  progress. 

Pre-game  socials  this  year  were  high- 
lighted by  informative  briefings  from  assis- 
tant basketball  coach  Byron  Samuels.  It 
was  great  to  get  the  inside  game  scoop  be- 
fore the  tip-off. 

"A  Whole  New  World"  was  the  theme 
for  homecoming  in  February,  and  it  was 
appropriate  as  we  celebrated  with  young 
and  old  alumni.  Next  year's  plans  are  be- 
ing made  to  highlight  our  Wilmington 
College  alumni  at  homecoming  or  during 
the  spring  with  a  special  reunion  event. 

Our  alumni  chapters,  MBA,  Cape 
Fear,  Triangle,  Triad  and  Onslow,  are 
young  but  eager  to  obtain  your  involve- 
ment and  support.  Mark  your  calendars  for 
August  14  and  join  us  for  a  Durham  Bulls 
baseball  game  that  the  Triangle  Chapter  is 
sponsoring.  It  is  a  great  opportunity  for 
family  and  alumni  fun  on  a  Sunday! 

Please  note  our  newest  project,  the 
UNCW  flag  that  you  can  fly  proudly  at 
your  home  or  business.  The  association  re- 
ceives a  small  profit  from  all  sales. 

The  alumni  association  invites  your 
active  involvement  in  your  university  and 
alumni  programs.  An  annual  $25  contribu- 
tion to  the  Loyalty  Fund  assures  you  the 
opportunity  to  receive  this  fine  magazine 
and  other  benefits. 

My  door  is  always  open  to  you  for  a 
visit  and  my  phone  line  (251-2681)  is 
available  for  communication  related  to  all 
aspects  of  alumni  or  parents'  programming. 
Be  sure  to  let  me  hear  from  you  at  my  new 
home,  Wise  Alumni  House,  1713  Market 
Street.

when  they  tied  the  varsity  team  for  the  Currie  Cup  in  the  first  re- 
union tournament  held  February  26.  The  score  was  8-8. 

The  Currie  Cup  is  named  in  honor  of  Danny  Currie  '77,  a  former

Alumni  Directory  Will  Help  You 
Find  Old  Friends 

Something  jogs  your  memory,  and  you 
suddenly  get  nostalgic  for  those  care- 
free college  days.  You  want  to  remi- 
nisce with  your  old  roommate  but  you 
have  no  idea  where  to  call.  You've  lost 
touch  completely. 

Have  nti  fear,  because  soon  you'll  have  the 
means  to  locate  all  your  college  buddies  right  at 
your  fingertips. 

The  new  University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Wilmington  Alumni  Directory,  scheduled  tor 
release  in  May  1995,  will  be  the  most  up-to- 
date  and  complete  reference  on  more  than 
14,000  UNCW  alumni  ever  compiled.  This  com- 
prehensive volume  will  include  current  name,  address  and  telephone 
number,  academic  data,  plus  business  information  (if  applicable), 
bound  into  a  classic,  library-quality  edition. 

The  alumni  association  has  contracted  with  Bernard  C.  Harris 
Publishing  Co.  to  produce  the  directory.  In  mid-July,  Harris  will  be 
mailing  all  alumni  c]uestionnaires.  We  urge  you  to  complete  the 
questionnaires  and  return  them  quickly  so  Harris  can  complete  the 
task  of  compiling  directory  information. 

With  your  UNCW  Alumni  Directory  in  hand,  reliving  those 
college  days  will  be  just  a  phone  call  away.

SHORT     TAKES 


As  the  Class  of  '94  begins  to 
embark   into   the  working 
world,   Gene   Warren   has 
bowed  his  way  out. 

Warren,  who  earned  an  Associ- 
ates of  Arts  degree  in  1950  from  then 
Wilmington  College,  retired  from  Pem- 
broke State  University  on  March  1 
after  serving  25'/-  years  as  public  infor- 
mation director. 

Listed  among  his 
credits,  Warren  served  on 
the  first  student  council  at 
Wilmington  College, 
helping  to  choose  the 
"Seahawk"  name  and 
school  colors.  He  said  the 
nickname  came  from  a 
World  War  II  service 
team  named  the  Iowa 
Seahawks. 

"They  were  coached 
by   the   famous   Bernie 
Berman  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Minnesota,"  Warren  remem- 
bered. The  colors,  he  said,  came  from 
the  blue-green  of  the  ocean  water  which 
was  related  to  the  idea  of  a  Seahawk. 

After  leaving  his  impression  at 
Wilmington  College,  he  moved  on  to 
UNC  Chapel  Hill,  where  he  received 
an  English  degree. 

"I  received  a  better  education  at 
Wilmington,  though,  because  of  a  small 


student/teacher  ratio  and  lots  of  per- 
sonal attention,"  he  reflected. 

Using  his  acquired  degrees,  War- 
ren was  hired  at  the  Greensboro  Daily 
News  as  a  sports  editor  and  columnist. 
He  worked  there  for  1 31/-  years.  He  then 
moved  on  to  Pembroke  in  1968.  His 
many  years  there  brought  him  fulfill- 
ment and  respect.  The  PSU  Alumni 
Association  honored  him 
with  the  "Distinguished 
Service  Award,"  one  of  the 
two  highest  awards  given 
by  the  association. 

Warren  recalls  an- 
other honor  bestowed  on 
him  in  1990.  He  was  asked 
to  represent  Pembroke  at 
James  R.  Leutze's  chancel- 
lorship inauguration.  Even 
though  he  does  not  hold  a 
doctorate,  Warren  still 
donned  the  robes  and  re- 
galia and  sat  between  the 
chancellors  of  N.C.  State  and  Chapel 
Hill,  "the  big  boys." 

"I've  been  working  for  53  years  — 
since  I  was  12  years  old,"  Warren  said. 
During  those  long  years  he  left  his  mark 
on  UNCW,  the  journalism  world  and 
Pembroke  State.  He  said  he  knew  it 
would  be  hard  to  retire,  but  felt  it  was 
the  right  time  to  do  it.

UNCW  selected  to  host  NCAA 
Women's  Golf  Championships 


As  an  indication  of  its  grow- 
ing academic  status  nation- 
wide, UNCW  has  been  se- 
lected to  host  the  1995  NCAA 
Women's  Golf  Championships  May 
24-27,  1995,  at  Landfall. 

The  National  Collegiate  Ath- 
letic Association  selects  only  out- 
standing universities  which  have  met 
certain  levels  of  achievement  in 
specified  areas  to  host  this  event. 
Among  these  criteria  are  the  gradua- 
tion rate  of  athletes  in  an  NCAA 
program  and  high  academic  eligibil- 
ity standards  for  athletes.  UNCW 
athletes  who  entered  college  in  the 


1987-88  school  year  led  North 
Carolina's  state-supported  universi- 
ties with  a  79-percent  graduation  rate, 
according  to  a  recent  report  released 
by  the  NCAA. 

Dating  back  to  1941,  the  NCAA 
Women's  Golf  Championship  is  the 
oldest  collegiate  as  well  as  the  pre- 
miere and  most  elite  women's  tour- 


nament in  which  102  of  the  nation's 
top  collegiate  women  golfers  will 
compete.  The  championship  will 
bring  UNCW  and  Wilmington  na- 
tionwide television  coverage  on 
Prime  Sports  Channel  Network. 

Twenty  of  the  top  women's  golf 
teams  are  playing  in  the  National 
Collegiate  Women's  Golf  Invita- 
tional Tournament  November  10- 
1 3 .  The  LPGA  is  conducting  a  clinic 
in  conj  unction  with  the  preview  tour- 
nament, which  will  draw  collegiate 
teams  from  as  far  away  as  Washing- 
ton and  Oregon,  including  the  num- 
ber one  team  from  Arizona  State.

Teaching  Excellence 
Award  and  the  Phi  Eta 
Sigma  Outstanding 
Educator  Award.

University  of  Kansas 
and  Northland  College 
in  Ashland,  WI. 

He  holds  a  doctor- 
ate in  English  from

FALL    9  4 


Faculty  honors 
presented  at 
convocation 

UNCW's  unique  motto 
Discere  Aude  was  the  focus 
of  Dr.  Gerald  Shinn's 
speech  at  Fall  Convocation  in  Kenan 
Auditorium 

"Discere,  an  infinitive,  comes 
from  a  Latin  verb  meaning  to  learn 
by  discovering  firsthand.  Aude,  an 
imperative,  comes  from  the  verb 
audeo  and  means  be  courageous. 
Consequently,  the  essential  mean- 
ing of  Discere  Aude  is  in  order  to 
discover  truth  firsthand,  be  coura- 
geous!," Dr.  Shinn  said.  "Don't  be 
afraid  of  anything  or  anybody.  What 
a  splendid  motto  for  a  university 
which  has  as  its  task  the  discovery  of 
truth  wherever  she  leads,  no  matter 
the  risks  encountered." 

Convocation  included  the  pre- 
sentation of  awards  to  faculty  mem- 
bers for  outstanding  achievements. 

The  Distinguished  Teaching 
Professorships  recognize  and  reward 
faculty  who  have  made  outstanding 
contributions  to  the  instructional 
program  at  UNCW.  Recipients  re- 
ceive a  $5,000  annual  stipend  for 
each  of  three  years  and  a  medallion. 
This  year's  recipients  were  Dr.  Ken- 
neth Spackman,  an  associate  profes- 
sor in  the  Department  of 
Mathematical  Sciences;  Dr.  Carol 
Pilgrim,  associate  professor  of  psy- 
chology; and  Dr.  Luther  Lawson,  an 
associate  professor  of  economics. 

Dr.  Joan  D.  Willey  was  the  re- 
cipient of  the  1994  Award  for  Fac- 
ulty Scholarship  which  is  given  to  a 
faculty  standout  who  has  made  sig- 
nificant contributions  to  scholar- 
ship, research  and  creativity.  Dr. 
Willey,  who  received  a  $1,500  award 
and  a  medallion,   is  a  professor  of 


Distinguished  Teaching  Professorships  were 
awarded  to  (left  to  right)  Dr.  Luther  Lawson,

the  chemistry  department,  oceanog- 
raphy program  coordinator  and  was 
appointed  interim  dean  of  UNCW's 
Graduate  School  in  July  1994. 

The  Chancellor's  Teaching  Ex- 
cellence Awards  were  presented  to 
Dr.  Hathia  Hayes,  associate  profes- 
sor of  curricular  studies;  Dr.  Luther 
D.  Lawson,  associate  professor  of  eco-

'94  freshmen 
are  praised 
by  chancellor 

The  1994  freshman  class  was 
characterized  as  the  "best 
freshman  class  we  have  ever 
had,"  by  Chancellor  James  Leutze  at 
Fall  Convocation. 

According  to  the  chancellor: 

•  84  percent  of  freshmen  listed 
UNCW  as  their  first  choice,  up  from 
69  percent  in  1991. 

•  40  percent  chose  UNCW  based  on 
its  academic  reputation,  up  from  20 
percent  in  1991 . 

•  78  percent  said  they  plan  to  gtaduate  in 
four  years,  versus  66  percent  in  1991. 

•  The  number  of  freshmen  who 
planned  to  transfer  dropped  50  per- 
cent from  1993. 

•  The  average  freshman  SAT  score 
rose  to  967,  up  from  935  in  1993. 
UNCW  currently  ranks  fifth  in  the 
UNC  system  for  SAT  averages. 


$18.5  million  science  building 
groundbreaking  is  'earth-shaking 

UNCW  held  an  "Earth-shaking  Groundbreaking"  celebration  for  its 
new  science  building  Septembet  30  during  Family  Weekend. 

This  100,000-square-foot  facility  will  include  such  amenities  as  a  clean 
room  with  specially  filtered  air  and  surfaces  made  from  contamination-free 
materials,  a  vibration-free  room  for  sensitive  equipment  such  as  an  electron 
microscope  and  a  cold  room  with  walk-in  teftigetatots  and  freezers. 

At  a  cost  of  $18,522,900,  the  science  building  should  be  completed  in 
apptoximately  24  months.  This  new  construction  is  a  result  of  the  statewide 
bond  issue  that  was  passed  last  November. 

For  several  years  UNCW  has  operated  with  sevete  space  constraints 
thtoughout  the  campus.  In  1991,  the  university  ranked  first  in  having  the 
most  crowded  academic  facilities  in  the  UNC  system.  In  fact,  since  the  fall  of 
1988,  UNCW's  student  body  has  increased  25  percent  with  no  increase  in 
square  footage  of  academic  facilities.  Space  is  at  a  premium  for  classrooms, 
faculty  offices,  work  areas  for  graduate  students  and  science  laboratories.

FACULTY   PROFILE 


New  coach,  dean  share  philosophies 


A  sense  of  humor  and 
concern  about  students  are 
just  a  couple  of  the  many 
things  two  of  UNCW's  newest  fac- 
ulty members  share. 

Despite  their  totally  different 
specialties,  Seahawk  basketball 
coach  Jerry  Wainwright  said  both 
he  and  School  of  Nursing  dean 
Virginia  Adams  are  "more  in  the 
reality  business  rather  than  the 
conceptualization  and  abstract 
business.  Dean  Adams  has  to  try 
and  get  young  people  trained  so 
they  can  get  other  young  people 
healthy,  and  1  mean  mentally  and 
physically.  I  am  dealing  with  kids 
at  the  high  end  ot  mental  and 
physical  health. 

"I  need  to  keep  them  there, 
and  I  need  to  channel  it  into  long- 
term  results  rather  than  the  short- 
term  rewards  athletics  is  all  about. 
If  you  are  a  so-called  top-of-the- 
line  athlete,  you  also  then  have 
the  responsibility  of  becoming  a 
top-of-the-line  citizen.  You're  go- 
ing to  be  a  citizen  long  after 
you've  been  an  athlete." 

Coach  Wainwright  and  Dr. 
Adams  both  agree  they  won't  let 
the  high  standards  set  by  their  pre- 
decessors get  in  the  way  of  doing 
their  jobs. 

"I  don't  think  we're  interested 
in  past  standards,"  Wainwright 
said.  "We're  interested  in  daily  im- 
provement. 

"I'm  not  about  winning  or  los- 
ing. I'm  about  progress.  We  have 
clientele  we  must  be  sensitive  to. 
It's  not  the  media.  It's  not  the  fans. 
It's  the  young  people  we  work  with 
on  a  day-to-day  basis.  No  young 
person  in  this  program,  whether  it's 
nursing  or  basketball,  is  a  finished 
product.  All  we  are  is  part  of  their 
development." 

Maintaining  the  high  passing 
rate  School  of  Nursing  graduates 
have  achieved  in  the  past  on  the 
N.C.  Licensing  Examination  is  not 
a  goal  for  Dr.  Adams  because  she 


said  the  focus  of  that  test  lags  behind 
what  health  care  is  evolving  into. 

"What's  suggested  to  me  is  that 
a  lot  of  the  students  were  good  test 
takers,  and  that  doesn't  have  a  lot 
to  do  with  how  well  these  graduates 
will  practice.  So  I'm  real  careful 
about  that.  It's  a  test.  I  am  con- 
cerned that  students  are  able  to 
practice  in  communities  when  they 
graduate,"  Adams  said. 

"We'll  have  to  be  careful  when 
people  say,  'We  expect  the  school 
of  nursing  to  maintain  a  success 
rate.'  I  think  it's  important  because 
that's  one  of  those  national  param- 
eters we  have  to  look  at,  but  we're 
also  in  the  process  of  making  them 
change  some  of  that. 

"The  whole  notion  of  health 
care  reform  affects  the  discipline 
of  nursing  which  translates  into 
how  we  educate  our  students,  and 
that  will  have  to  be  different,"  Dr. 
Adams  said. 

"Everything  now  is  more  com- 
munity-based, community-focused. 
So  in  this  baccalaureate  program 
we  are  preparing  students  to  go 
into  communities.  One  project  we 
have  agreed  on  is  the  whole  notion 
of  comprehensive  school  health,"

schools  setting  up  school  health 
centers  that  provide  care  not  only 
for  students,  but  the  adults  around 
them  as  well." 

With  their  first  year  at  UNCW 
underway,  Coach  Wainwright  and 
Dean  Adams  are  looking  forward  to 
working  together  on  many  projects. 

Coach  Wainwright  said  he 
hopes  Dr.  Adams  "never  loses  her 
smile  or  her  sense  of  humor  because 
no  job  is  more  important  than  the 
ability  to  have  fun  at  it." 

"I  know  I'm  going  to  have  fun 
with  him  in  the  next  few  years  be- 
cause we  share  philosophies.  I 
think  we  can  do  some  projects  to- 
gether," Dr.  Adams  said. 

She  comes  to  UNCW  from  the 
College  ot  Nursing  at  East  Tennes- 
see State  University  where  she 
served  as  interim  dean.  She  holds  a 
bachelor's  degree  in  nursing,  a 
master's  in  maternal  child  nursing 
and  a  doctorate  in  child  develop- 
ment and  family  relations. 

Coach  Wainwright  was  assis- 
tant coach  for  nine  seasons  at 
Wake  Forest  University,  helping 
to  rebuild  the  Demon  Deacon  pro- 
gram into  an  upper  level  team  in 
the  Atlantic  Coast  Conference. 
He  is  a  graduate  ot  Colorado  Col- 
lege and  holds  a  graduate  degree  in 
exercise  physiology.

ALUMNI    PROFILE 


Sports  draw  Donovan  back  to  alma  mater 


It  was  sports  that  brought  Kevin 
Donovan  to  UNCW  in  1980, 
and  sports  that  brought  him 
back  again,  14  years  later. 

A  New  Jersey  native,  Donovan 
said  it  was  his  love  of  surfing  that 
lured  him  to  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  at  Wilmington 
when  he  was  looking  for  a  place  to 
further  his  education.  Now  with  a 
law  degree  from  Wake  Forest  Uni- 
versity under  his  belt  and  several 
years  of  legal  experience  in  the 
Northeast,  he's  returned  to  the 
Cape  Fear  coast  to  head  up  fund- 
raising  for  the  UNCW  athletics 
program.  This  time  he's  brought  his 
wife,  Karla,  (also  a  lawyer)  and 
their  two  sons. 

The  31 -year-old  practiced  cor- 
porate and  sports  law  for  about  six 
years  with  the  New  Jersey  firms  of 
Purcell,  Ries,  Shannon,  Mulcahy 
and  O'Neill,  and  Ribis  Graham  and 
Curtin  before  deciding  the  legal 
profession  was  not  for  him. 

"Trial  work  was  frustrating  be- 
cause you  felt  you  weren't  doing 
anything  of  social  value,"  he  said. 
"You  couldn't  get  results  right 
away."  Plus,  he  said  the  profession 
required  "too  much  paperwork"  and 
resulted  in  "a  lot  of  wasted  time." 

However,  his  work  represent- 
ing the  New  York  Giants  and  Yan- 
kees did  prove  fruitful.  He  became 
friends  with  Bart  Oates,  all-pro 
center  for  the  Giants  and  a  law 
school  graduate. 

"He  encouraged  me  to  get  into 
sports  athletics  administration," 
said  Donovan.  He  tried  to  find  out 
as  much  as  possible  about  this  new 
profession,  volunteering  with  Seton 
Hall  University's  fund-raising  pro- 
gram to  gain  some  experience. 

He  found  out  he  liked  it  so 
much  that  he  decided  to  leave  the 
legal  profession  where  adversarial 
relationships  were  commonplace. 

"I  think  I'm  more  of  a  team  guy 


so  this  is  more  suited  to  my  na- 
ture," Donovan  said  of  his  new  job. 
"This  is  more  team-oriented. 
People  work  together  for  the  good 
of  the  university." 

Donovan  is  happy  to  be  back  at 
his  alma  mater. 

"I  got  a  great  education  here. 
The  attention  I  got  from  the  fac- 
ulty here  I  probably  would  not  have 
gotten  at  other  schools,"  he  said. 


Kevin  Donovan  '84  has  returned  to 
UNCW  to  head  up  fundraising  for  the 
university's  athletic  department. 

And  he's  pleased  with 
UNCW's  growth  and  prominence. 

"The  big  change  for  me  is  to 
see  changes  in  the  athletics  depart- 
ment ...  just  to  see  the  way  the  dif- 
ferent sports  have  grown,  especially 
basketball,"  he  said.  "A  lot  of  that 
has  to  do  with  the  chancellor.  He's 
brought  in  good  people. 

"Guys  like  Paul  (Miller,  ath- 
letic director)  and  Bill  (Anlyan, 
vice  chancellor  for  advancement) 
have  brought  more  national  atten- 
tion to  chis  school.  People  know 
who  UNCW  is  in  different  circles 
around  the  country.  I  think  it's 


only  going  to  get  better." 

Donovan's  official  title  is  assis- 
tant director  of  athletics  for  devel- 
opment. 

As  such  he'll  be  trying  to  come 
up  with  new  and  innovative  ways 
to  raise  money  for  athletic  scholar- 
ships and  other  student  aid.  One  of 
his  first  ideas  is  to  develop  special 
interest  groups  within  the  Seahawk 
Club,  which  last  year  raised 
$200,000  for  student  scholarships. 
For  example,  a  Rebounders  Club 
could  be  targeted  at  people  with  a 
special  interest  in  the  Seahawk 
basketball  program.  In  return  for 
their  gifts  to  the  university,  they 
would  get  special  treatment  at 
games  and  other  perks  such  as  din- 
ner with  Coach  Jerry  Wainwright. 

His  ties  to  Wake  Forest  Uni- 
versity give  Donovan  a  special 
kinship  to  Jerry  Wainwright  who 
left  that  school  to  become 
UNCW's  head  basketball  coach  in 
place  of  Kevin  Eastman. 

Eastman  "laid  the  foundation 
to  get  the  program  to  this  level," 
Donovan  said,  and  Wainwright  "is 
going  to  bring  a  lot  of  experience 
to  the  table.  He's  going  to  be  able 
to  bring  excitement  to  the  program 
just  from  his  personality." 

Donovan  said  his  priorities 
in  his  new  job  include  obtaining 
major  gifts  for  UNCW's  athletics 
program  and  endowments  for 
athletic  scholarships. 

"I  think  that's  an  area  we  can 
work  on,"  he  said. 

Donovan  realizes  he's  got  a 
tough  job  ahead,  but  he's  looking 
forward  to  getting  out  into  the 
business  community,  meeting 
people  and  making  them  aware  of 
the  university's  key  role  in  the  future 
of  southeastern  North  Carolina. 

"I  don't  think  I'll  miss  law.  To 
work  in  athletics  has  always  been  a 
dream  for  me,  and  to  come  back  to  my 
alma  mater  is  better,"  Donovan  said.

FALL    9   4 


This  summer  UNCW  research 
technician  Greg  McFall,  UNCW 
graduate  students  Dave  Swearingen, 
Brian  Chanas,  UNC-CH  graduate 
student  Robin  Bolser  and  UNCW 
graduate  and  University  of  New 
Hampshire  graduate  student 
Katherine  Laing  spent  1 0  days  doing 
research,  under  the  direction  of 
UNCW  biology  professor  Joe  Pawlik 
and  UNC-CH  professor  Niels 
Lindquist,  aboard  the  underwater 
habitat  Aquarius. 

Aquarius  is  owned  by  the  Na- 
tional Oceanic  and  Atmospheric  Ad- 
ministration and  managed  by  the 
National  Undersea  Research  Center 
at  UNCW.  It  is  the  centerpiece  of  a 
comprehensive  environmental  research 
program  in  the  Florida  Keys  aimed  at 
better  understanding  and  preserving 
the  health  of  the  continental  United 
States'  only  coral  reef  ecosystem. 

By  Greg  mcfall 

<&ay  I 

We  jumped  off  the  Mobile 
Support  Base  (MSB)  into  the  lucid 
blue  water  of  Conch  Reef,  Key 
Largo,  Fla.,  on  an  adventure  none 
of  us  was  fully  prepared  for.  The 
first  site  we  saw  was  the  undersea 
laboratory  Aquarius.  The  yellow  be- 
hemoth loomed  60  feet  below  the 
surface,  its  structure  providing  shel- 
ter to  thousands  of  fish,  inverte- 
brates and  six  acquiescent 
aquanauts.  We  went  to  work  set- 
ting up  sites  where  our  experiments 
would  run  for  the  next  10  days. 

To  complete  the  tasks  assigned 
by  our  surface  support  crew,  we 
split  into  two  teams.  Katherine  La- 
ing (K.T.)  and  Robin  Bolser  se- 
lected a  site  near  the  habitat  where 
they  set  up  an  experiment  to  dis- 
cern the  importance  of  micro-ref- 
uges to  the  survival  of  newly  settled 
sponge  larvae  (eggs).  David 
Swearingen,  Brian  Chanas  and  I 
constructed  a  sponge  "smorgas- 
bord." By  tying  eight  species  of 
sponge  to  the  smorgasbord  and  re- 
placing them  regularly,  we  at- 
tempted to  determine  why  some 


species  occur 
on  the  reef, 
while  others 
are  found  only 
in  mangrove 
habitats.  After 
five  hours  in 
the  water,  we 
swam  back  to 
Aquarius  for 
the  evening. 

Holding 
our  breath,  we 
entered 
Aquarius  one 
by  one 

through  a  rect- 
angular open- 
ing on  the 
bottom  of  the 
undersea  labo- 
ratory called 
the  "moon  pool." 

Chris  Borne,  our  National  Un- 
dersea Research  Center  habitat 
technician,  greeted  us  as  we  en- 
tered the  "wet  porch"  so  named  be- 
cause it  separates  the  dry  living 
area  from  the  "moon  pool."  After 
showering  with  an  antiseptic  soap 
to  remove  bacteria  from  our  skin, 
we  entered  the  main  living  quar- 
ters. We  were  ravenously  hungry 
and  slightly  dehydrated  from  our 
excursion. 


Day 


We  were  up  at  six  o'clock,  ate 
breakfast  and  were  dressing  in  the 
wet  porch  by  seven.  Team  one 
went  to  a  new  site  called  the  "Pin- 
nacle" and  placed  larval  traps  on 
several  sponge  species.  Dave,  Brian 
and  I  replaced  sponges  that  had 
been  rent  from  the  smorgasbord  by 
angeltish,  filefish  and  parrotfish. 
We  later  joined  K.  T.  and  Robin  at 
the  "Pinnacle." 

I'm  always  astounded  at  the 
materials  used  to  construct  scien- 
tific experiments.  The  women  used 
plastic  bottles  with  pantyhose  at- 
tached at  the  opening.  Pantyhose 
worked  remarkably  well  because  K. 
T.  and  Robin  could  stretch  them 
over  many  sizes  of  sponge.  When

deployed  properly,  the  "traps" 
floated  above  the  sponge  and  col- 
lected larvae  as  they  were  released. 

We  had  lunchtime  visitors 
from  the  surface  "otherworld."  Joe 
Pawlik  (UNCW)  and  Niels 
Lindquist  (UNC-CH),  the  princi- 
pal investigators  for  this  mission, 
came  down  to  see  how  things  were 
going  and  advise  us  on  upcoming 
tasks.  After  seeing  only  the  same 
five  faces  for  two  days,  it  was  nice 
to  have  company. 

Since  there  is  a  higher  partial 
pressure  of  oxygen  in  the  habitat 
than  at  the  surface,  there  is  a 
greater  risk  of  fire  and  explosion; 
consequently,  open  flames  are  pro- 
hibited. Our  meals  are  prepared  at 
a  local  restaurant  and  brought 
down  in  a  large  metal  pressure  ves- 
sel, a  process  termed  "potting."  All 
of  our  supplies  and  dry  goods  are 
delivered  in  the  same  manner. 


Day  3 

What  a  strange  feeling  not  to 
return  to  the  surface!  I  have  to 
make  .i  consi  ious  ettoi  i  no  I  to  as- 
cend when  our  dives  are  over.  The 
type  ot  diving  we  are  doing  is 
termed  "saturation  diving"  because 
our  body  tissues  are  saturated  with

the  inert  gas  nitrogen.  If  we  were  to 
return  to  the  surface  after  36  hours, 
nitrogen  would  begin  to  come  out 
of  solution  and  our  blood  would  be- 
gin to  fizz  like  a  soda  within  1  5 
minutes.  If  for  some  reason  we  had 
to  surface  unexpectedly,  there  is  a 
recompression  chamber  on  the 
MSB  used  to  treat  decompression- 
related  maladies. 

Day  4 

Another  day,  another  dive.  I'm 
finding  that  comfort  measures  are 
very  important  down  here.  Spend- 
ing seven  hours  a  day  in  the  water 
takes  its  toll  on  your  skin.  Once 
you  get  an  abrasion  or  cut  on  your 
skin,  it  never  has  the  opportunity 
to  heal  properly.  When  a  wound 
begins  to  heal,  it  gets  wet  and 
opens  again.  It  has  become  neces- 
sary to  take  precautions  to  ensure 
that  we  remain  injury  free. 

Even  when  you  think  things 
are  going  well,  you  still  have  to  be 
concerned  about  nitrogen  narcosis. 
Narcosis  is  a  physiological  malady 
that  impairs  a  diver's  ability  to 
think  clearly.  One  Aquarius  techni- 
cian likened  it  to  drinking  a  mar- 
tini, but  never  losing  the  "buzz."  It 
sometimes  makes  you  do  things  you 
might  not  ordinarily  do. 

Case  in  point:  Brian,  Dave  and 
I  went  out  this  morning  to  adjust 
the  angle  of  view  on  the  smorgas- 
bord video  camera,  a  relatively 


simple  task  that  we'd  done 
often  before.  To  move  the 
camera,  we  had  to  unplug 
the  video  lights.  This  time, 
however,  there  was  an  ad- 
ditional factor  we  hadn't 
counted  on  -  the  video 
lights  were  still  on.  When 
Brian  unplugged  the  lights, 
he  got  the  shock  of  his  life! 
It  just  happened  that  Brian 
had  his  finger  between  the 
cord  and  its  receptacle  af- 
ter he  unplugged  it.  The 
power  should  have  shut  off 
as  soon  the  cord  was  un- 
plugged, but  there  was  a 
faulty  ground  fault  inter- 
rupter. On  land  we  probably  would 
have  checked  to  see  if  the  lights 
were  still  on  before  unplugging 
them,  but  here,  narcosis  may  have 
detracted  from  that  mental  edge. 

Day  5 

We're  halfway  through  our 
mission,  and  things  are  going  great. 
I've  noticed  that  we're  all  getting 
pretty  tired.  Robin  and  K.  T.  have 
been  leaving  Aquarius  at  5:30  a.m. 
for  the  last  two  days.  They  have 
narrowed  down  the  time  of  sponge 
larval  release  to  the  morning  hours. 
Dave,  Brian  and  I  have  been  get- 
ting up  around  7  a.m.,  but  stay  out 
until  9  p.m.  to  conduct  coral  feed- 
ing assays.  Niels  is  using  the  data  to 
learn  if  sponge  larvae  are  palatable 
to  coral.  We  started  a  new  experi- 
ment today  to  see  if  sponges  can 
prevent  coral  overgrowth  by  releas- 
ing chemicals  that  kill  the  invading 
species. 

Day  6 

We  had  an  unwelcome  guest  at 
the  smorgasbord!  We  looked  at  the 
video  monitor  of  the  sponge  array 
and  right  in  the  middle  was  a 
Hawksbill  turtle.  It  obviously 
thought  this  was  an  "all  you  can 
eat"  buffet  with  horrible  service.  At 
first  it  appeared  to  ptefet  one  spe- 
cies of  sponge,  and  then,  much  to 
our  horror,  it  went  on  to  demolish 
several  others.  Several  times  when 


fish  approached  the  sponges  the 
tuttle  used  its  flippers  to  scare  them 
away.  It  was  hard  enough  keeping 
up  with  the  demand  from  fish,  this 
new  twist  would  make  it  more  difficult. 

As  we  approached,  the  turtle 
came  out  to  greet  us.  When  it 
turned  to  make  a  second  approach, 
I  saw  that  it  only  had  one  eye.  Af- 
ter videoing  the  turtle  for  about 
five  minutes,  we  decided  to  replace 
the  sponges  on  the  smorgasbord 
and  let  it  have  its  fill. 

(Day  7 

Today  I  had  a  close  encounter 
of  the  marine  kind.  We  were  all  out 
at  the  "Pinnacle."  I  turned  around 
to  find  Dave  and  Brian  upside 
down,  looking  under  a  coral  head; 
they  had  found  a  pufferfish.  I  went 
ovet  to  video  the  odd  creature. 

To  anyone  who  has  never  seen 
pufferfish,  they  resemble  balloons 
with  hundreds  of  spikes  coming  out 
of  the  skin.  When  perturbed,  they 
can  regulate  the  amount  of  water  in 
their  tissue  and  "puff  up.  In  the 
natural  environment,  they  use  this 
ability  to  escape  predation;  in  our 
case  they  made  interesting  video 
subjects. 

Because  I  am  the  mission 
videographer,  I  rarely  get  to  be  on 
the  video.  I  asked  Brian  if  he  would 
video  me  with  a  pufferfish.  As  I 
held  the  puffer  and  smiled  for  the 
camera,  I  inadvertently  placed  my 
finger  in  the  fish's  mouth;  it  was  all 
the  excuse  it  needed  to  make  a 
hasty  retreat.  It  bit  the  tip  of  my 
finger  and  went  on  a  five-second 
toilet  coaster  ride  as  I  tried  unsuc- 
cessfully to  shake  it  from  my  finger. 
When  it  finally  let  go,  it  swam 
away,  confident  in  the  fact  that  I 
wouldn't  molest  marine  life  any- 
more! 

Day  8 

Brian,  Dave,  Chris  and  I  went 
on  a  deep  excursion  at  the  "Pin- 
nacle" this  morning  to  collect 
sponges.  There  must  have  been  a 
thunderstorm  in  the  terrestrial 
world  because  our  aqueous  environ- 


F ALL  94 


FALL    9  4 


ment  was  cast  in  darkness.  The 
water  itself  appeared  paradoxical 
in  nature,  to  be  clear  and  yet  so 
dark.  We  were  not  the  only  ones 
perplexed  by  the  darkness;  there 
were  nocturnal  creatures  out  at 
noon.  When  lightning  struck  the 
ocean's  surface,  it  looked  like  a 
thousand  synchronous  camera 
flashes. 

When  we  entered  the  habitat 
for  lunch,  Robin  was  sitting  at 
the  table  with  a  big  smile  on  her 
face.  Out  of  all  the  aquanauts,  I'd 
say  Robin  has  narcosis  the  worst. 
It  seems  that  she  laughs  at  any- 
thing, so  I've  nicknamed  her 
"Bubbles  Bolser."  She  brings  lev- 
ity to  strenuous  situations  and  is 
a  joy  to  be  around. 

All  in  all  I'd  have  to  say  the 
panoply  of  personalities  we  have 
in  saturation  couldn't  be  better. 
Having  the  right  combination  of 
people  in  the  habitat  can  make 
or  break  a  mission.  We  have  the 
distinct  honor  of  being  the  first 
all-student  (and  one  technician) 
team  ever  to  complete  an 
Aquarius  mission. 

Day  9 

Well,  this  was  the  last  day  of 
diving  and  there  was  much  work 
to  do.  We  had  to  clean  up  all  the 
sites  we'd  used  for  the  last  eight 
days  and  be  back  in  the  habitat 
by  noon  to  begin  decompression. 

Since  our  bodies  are  satu- 
rated with  nitrogen,  it  will  take 
about  19  hours  to  decompress 
back  to  surface  pressure.  We 
have  been  maintained  at  a  "stor- 
age" depth  of  47  feet,  which  is 
equivalent  to  a  pressure  of  35.6 
pounds  per  square  inch  (psi).  It 
doesn't  sound  like  much  until 
you  consider  that  the  ambient 
pressure  at  sea  level  is  only  14-7 
psi.  The  Aquarius  is  essentially  a 
large  pressure  vessel  that  is  de- 
pressurized  very  slowly.  The  sur- 
face crew  opens  a  series  of  valves 
that  slowly  bleed  air  from  the 
habitat,  bringing  it  back  to  the 
pressure  at  sea  level. 


Shortly  after  1  p.m.,  two  habi- 
tat technicians  from  the  MSB  came 
down  to  administer  oxygen.  Oxy- 
gen acts  to  displace  the  nitrogen  in 
our  tissues  and  speeds  the  process 
of  decompression.  We  stayed  on 
oxygen  for  70  minutes  and  then 
continued  our  progression  toward 
the  surface.  It's  a  slow  creep  that 
won't  be  complete  until  noon  to- 
morrow. 

Day   10 

The  surface  crew  woke  us  up  at 
four  o'clock  this  morning  to  use  the 
restroom  for  the  last  time.  Since 
the  toilet  operates  on  a  pressure 
differential,  there  won't  be  enough 
pressure  for  it  to  function  properly 
when  we  reach  sea  level.  We  went 
back  to  bed,  but  I  don't  think  any- 
body really  slept.  At  8  a.m.  we  were 
all  up  again.  It  was  a  bittersweet 
time;  we  were  ready 
to  leave,  but  sad  to  be 
going. 

Chris  gave  us  a 
safety  lecture  on  the 
proper  way  to  exit 
Aquarius  and  return 
to  the  MSB.  At  noon 
Chris,  K.  T.  and  I 
were  the  first  three  to 
leave.  Two  members 
of  the  surface  support 
crew  came  down  to 
escort  Brian,  Robin 
and  Dave  to  the  sur- 
face. The  pressure  in 
Aquarius  at  that  point 
was  equivalent  to  a 
depth  of  four  feet. 

As  the  first  aqua- 
naut  to  exit  the  wa- 
ter, I  was  greeted  by 
several  safety  person- 
nel and  a  happy  sup- 
port staff.  The  long 
mission  was  over  for 
them,  too.  The  mis- 
sion was  a  complete 
success,  but  it 
wouldn't  have  been 
possible  if  not  for  ex- 
cellent support  from 
the  NURC  staff.  At 


first  glance,  it  appears  that  few  staff 
personnel  were  involved,  but  suc- 
cess of  a  saturation  mission  truly  is 
an  entire  staff  effort. 

After  living  in  a  cold,  unfor- 
giving environment  for  10  days, 
feeling  the  sun  on  my  back  was  a 
welcome  sensation.  I  watched  as 
Robin,  Dave  and  Brian  surfaced, 
each  one  climbing  the  ladder  out  of 
the  ocean  and  on  to  the  MSB.  We 
had  shared  an  ordeal  in  Aquarius 
that  fewer  than  300  people  in  the 
world  have  experienced.  It  was  fun 
while  it  lasted,  but  none  of  us  are 
ready  to  go  back  down  for  another 
10  days.

Alums  give  tips  to  reduce  stress 
of  achieving  'American  dream*

vides  a  sense  of 

security,  pride  and  stability. 

But  on  a  psychologist's  list  of 
leading  stress  inducers,  the  home 
buying  process  ranks  high.  It  is  the 
biggest  purchase  most  people  make 
in  a  lifetime,  and  it  forces  potentia 
buyers  to  examine  their  goals,  com- 
mitment and  lifestyle. 

Buying  a  home  can  be  down- 
right daunting  for  first-time  home 
buyers.  It  raises  a  host  ot  questions 
with  the  most  obvious  being  — 
"Where  do  I  start.'" 

Real  estate  sales  professionals 
suggest  buyers  start  with  them. 
Working  with  a  real  estate  agent  is 
the  most  efficient  way  of  knowing 
what  is  on  the  housing  market, 
since  brokers  list  properties  for  sale 
on  the  local  MLS  (Multiple  Listing 
Service),  and  an  agent  may  show 
any  house  that  is  listed.  A  good  real 
estate  agent  can  make  the  A-to-  Z  of 
home  buying  a  friendly,  informa- 
tive event,  rather  than  a  process 
riddled  with  fear  and  loathing. 

"Ask  for  a  counseling  session 
with  a  realtor  so  you  can  know 
what  to  expect,  in  what  sequence, 
so  that  there  are  no  surprises,"  says 
Dave  Hilliard  '72  of  Adams  and 
Hilliard  Realty  in  Wilmington. 
"The  realtor  can  hold  your  hand 
the  whole  way.  You  don't  want  it 
to  be  a  frightening  experience." 

Real  estate  agent  Lisa 
Williamson  Wayne  '90  of  Pres 


in  Wilmington" 
agrees. 

"You  need  to  focus  on 
the  area  in  which  you  want  to  live 
and  then  coordinate  with  a  realtor 
so  that  you  can  narrow  the  search 
down,"  says  Wayne. 

Prequalifying  for  a  home  loan 
is  another  early  step,  one  that 
should  be  taken  before  a  first- 
time  buyer  begins  looking  at  a 
home.  It  involves  gathering  the 
financial  information  a  lender 
needs  to  determine  how  much 
money  a  buyer  can  afford  for  a 
down  payment  and  how  much  of  a 
monthly  loan  payment  the  buyer 
can  carry.  Both  lenders  and  real  es- 
tate agents  can  prequalify  buyers. 

Lenders  encourage  first-time 
home  buyers  to  establish  a  monthly 
payment  comfort  zone  when  deter- 
mining what  they  can  afford. 

"Allow  yourself  a  cushion  ei- 
ther in  savings  or  in  your  cash  flow, 
so  that  if  the  heat  pump  goes  out  or 


if  you  need  a  new 
roof  a  year  later  you 
can  handle  it,"  says 
Stuart  Sioussat  '86, 
'93,  branch  man- 
ager and  assistant 
vice  president 
with  Wachovia 
Bank  in  Wilming- 
ton. "You  don't 
want  to  cut  yourself  real 
close,  because  there  are  so 
many  other  things  that 
homeowners  face  beyond  just 
what  your  (mortgage)  commit- 
ments will  be  every  month." 
Hilliard  suggests  first-timers 
consider  buying  less  house  than 
they  are  qualified  to  purchase  in  order 
to  have  money  for  leisure  activities. 
"You  want  what  you  live  in  to 
be  a  home,  not  a  house.  If  it  is  just 
a  house,  it  is  either  one  that  is  not 
affordable  or  one  that  creates 
problems.  And  don't  think  that 
the  house  you  buy  the  first  time  is 
the  home  you  will  live  in  for  20 
years,"  he  says. 

Knowing  what  you  can  afford 
before  you  start  visiting  houses  also 
reduces  the  chance  of  lingering  dis- 
satisfaction in  the  home  you  even- 
tually purchase. 

"We  don't  want  to  show  a 
house  that  people  cannot  afford, 
because  that  sets  them  up  for  disap- 
pointment," notes  Wayne.  "Even 
when  they  finally  get  the  home 
that  they  can  afford,  and  it  really  is 
a  good  home  for  them,  they  may 
not  be  as  excited  as  they  would  be, 
it  they  had  not  first  seen  the  home 
they  could  not  afford." 

Knowing  exactly  what  you 
want  in  a  home  helps  smooth  the 
bumps  in  the  house-hunting  road.

The  great  struggles  of  World  War  II  had  ended  and 
hundreds  of  thousands  of  Americans  were  return- 
ing home.  Intent  on  picking  up  the  pieces  of  their 
lives,  many  of  these  veterans  decided 
to  take  advantage  of  the  G.I.  Bill  and 
attend  college. 

But  education  and  government  plan- 
ners were  quick  to  see  a  major  prob- 
lem developing — existing  college  spaces  could  not 
accommodate  all  the  would-be  students.  So,  it  was 
against  the  background  of  national  and  state  con- 
cerns and  local  pride  that  the  citizens  of  South- 
eastern North  Carolina  began  to  focus  on  creating 
a  college  in  Wilmington. 


Established  in  1946  as  an  extension  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  North  Carolina  at  Chapel  Hill,  the 
Wilmington  College  Center  was  operated  by  the 
New  Hanover  public  school  system.  An 
initial  class  of  186  freshmen  shared 
space  in  two  area  high  schools. 

In  1947,  the  center  officially  be- 
came Wilmington  College,  with  T.T. 
Hamilton  serving  as  both  college  president  and 
principal  of  New  Hanover  High  School.  One  year 
later,  the  college  moved  across  the  street  from  New 
Hanover  High  into  the  Isaac  Bear  Building — its 
home  for  the  next  13  years.

In  1957,  Wilmington  College  passed  from  county 
to  state  control  when  the  first  Community  College 
Act  was  passed  and  three  schools  at  Wilmington, 
Charlotte  and  Asheville  became  state 
schools  with  separate  boards  of  trustees. 
Dr.  William  Randall,  who  had  served  as 
dean  since  1953.  was  named  president  of 
Wilmington  College. 

"One  purpose  of  education  is  the  at- 
tainment of  a  mature  mind.  A  mature 


mind  is  able  to  recognize  responsibilities  to  indi- 
viduals, to  society  and  to  God,  and  is  equipped  to 
fulfill  these  responsibilities  in  a  manner  which 
gives  the  greatest  satisfaction  of  accom- 
plishment, and  realizes  the  utmost  of  the 
potentialities  of  the  truly  educated  man." 
Each  new  accomplishment  and  each  step 
forward  spurred  more  community  sup- 
port and  pride. ..and  more  students.

deciding  the  campus  would  be  designed  in  a  modified 

Georgian  architecture. 

The  three  original  buildings  were 
so  impressive  that  future  chancellors 
and  boards  of  trustees  have  continued 
this  architectural  style,  resulting  in 
one  of  the  most  attractive  campuses  in 
the  state.

In  1963,  the  Carlyle  Commission  completed  its 
review  of  the  educational  needs  of 
North  Carolina  and  recommended 
that  a  statewide  community  college 
system  be  developed  and  that  the  cam- 
pus at  Wilmington  be  elevated  to  four- 
year,  senior  college  status. 


w 


Six  years  later,  the  college  was  accepted  into  full 
membership  as  a  campus  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  North  Carolina.  \^  illiam  H. 
Wagoner,  the  last  president  of 
Wilmington  College,  became  the 
Univerity  of  North  Carolina  at 
Wilmington's  first  chancellor.

Over  the  years,  the  athletic  program  has  pro 
gressed  from  the  leather  helmets  and 
sandlot  football  of  the  Isaac  Bear  era  to 
outstanding  baseball  and  basketball 
teams.  UNCW  now  competes  in  17  men's 
and  women's  NCAA  varsity  sports.  Our 
athletic  facilities  now  include  the  6.100- 
seat  Trask  Coliseum.  Greene  Track  and 


Field  and  Brooks  Field  and  Baseball  Stadium, 
named  in  honor  of  former  athletic  di- 
rector Bill  Brooks.  The  coach  led  his 
Wilmington  College  baseball  team  to  win 
the  national  championship  in  1961  and 
the  basketball  team  to  the  championship 
finals  in  1962.

The  growth  of  UNCW  is  documented  by  a  steady 


enrollment  increase  from  an  initial 
class  of  186  in  1947,  to  1,425  in  1969, 
to  8.435  in  1994. 

Along  with  this  growth  in  population 
comes  a  growth  in  prestige  and  facili- 
ties. The  university  now  boasts  36  un- 
dergraduate degree  programs  and  14 


post-graduate  programs.  Housing  these  academic 
programs  are  36  administrative  and 
support  buildings  on  a  660-acre  campus. 
The  next  several  years  will  see  the  con- 
struction of  a  marine  science  research 
laboratory,  a  student  recreation  center 
and  a  100,000-square-foot  physical  sci- 
ences classroom  building.

On  our  campus,  there  are  two  symbols  that  reflect 
our  first  half  century  of  history.  One  is  the 
original  brass  bell  used  to  call  a  generation 
of  students  to  class  at  the  Isaac  Bear  build- 
ing. The  other  is  the  ceremonial  mace  un- 
veiled at  the  1990  inauguration  of  Dr.  James 


R.  Leutze.  The  mace's  design  and  materials  reflect  the 
school's  ties  to  the  sea  and  the  region.  It  proudly  dis- 
plays the  four  seals  that  have  governed  the  college:  New 
Hanover  County,  Wilmington  College,  the  University 
of  North  Carolina  and.  finally,  the  University  of  North 
Carolina  at  Wilmington.

romises  were  made 


promises  were  fulfilled.  But  there  are 


new  needs  that  must  be  met  and  new 


promises  that  must  be  made.  In  the 


words  of  Chancellor  James  R.  Leutze  as 


he  gave  his  installation  address  in  1990, 


"UNCW  has  become... as  Wilmington 


has  been . .  .a  metaphor  for  connections. 


between  the  old  world  and  the  new. .  .the 


South  and  the  rest  of  the  nation... the 


past  and  the  future.  Our  legacy  is  one 
of  change,  progress,  enlightenment, 


leadership  and  vision."

ority  list  of  needs,  wants  and  even, 
don't  wants.  Needs  start  with  the 
obvious  —  your  price  range  and  ap- 
proximate location  —  and  then  get 
more  specific,  such  as  the  neigh- 
borhood, age  and  type  of  home. 
Don't  wants  might  be  heavy  traffic 
or  proximity  to  a  commercial  zone. 

Realtors  often  caution  against 
pursuing  an  exact  price  or  a  par- 
ticular feature.  Focus  on  location 
and  general  quality  of  the  property, 
they  say,  because  the  final  choice 
almost  always  involves  some  com- 
promise. One  of  the  big- 
gest pitfalls  first-time 
home  buyers  face,  notes 
Hilliard,  is  that  their  ex- 
pectations too  high. 

"They  come  in  with 
the  idea  that  they  can 
own  a  home  like  mom 
and  dad,"  he  says. 
"Homebuying  is  a  step 
process  in  life.  You  start 
with  a  small  home  and 
you  gradually  grow  with 
family  needs." 

Is  there  a  best  time  to  buy  a 
home?  Realtors  Wayne  and  Hilliard 
agree  the  best  time  is  when  the 
home  buyers  have  some  funds  for  a 
down  payment  and  are  ready  to  as- 
sume the  responsibility  of 
homeownership. 

"Don't  wait,  do  it,"  Wayne 
insists.  "With  the  interest  write- 
off, it  really  is  to  your  advantage 
not  to  wait,  especially  with  all 
the  programs  out  there  now  for 
first-time  home  buyers.  Some 
can  even  get  100  percent  fi- 
nancing and  all  they  need  is 
enough  money  for  the  closing." 

Hilliard  echoes  that  point.  "I 
think  the  best  time  is  when  the 
buyer  is  ready  for  the  responsibility. 
But  most  first-time  home  buyers 
don't  realize  there  are  more  ben- 
efits to  owning  than  renting,  be- 
cause one  of  the  only  tax 
deductions  that  we  have  today  is 
home  mortgage  interest." 

Real  estate  appraiser  Howell 
Graham  '85,  a  partner  in  the  firm 
Joseph  S.  Robb  &  Associates  in 
Wilmington,  offers  another  tip  re- 


garding the  best-time-to-buy  equa- 
tion. He  suggests  first-timers  try 
buying  in  growing  areas  in  the  early 
stage  of  development. 

"My  wife  and  I  bought  in  a 
neighborhood  last  year  at  one  step 
up  from  the  ground  level.  With 
building  costs  going  up,  it  has  al- 
ready appreciated  quite  a  bit," 
Graham  says. 

When  financing  a  home,  mort- 
gage lenders  want  buyers  to  put 
down  as  much  as  possible.  While  a 
10  to  20  percent  down  was  once  be 


"Naturally,  everyone  is  going  to  feel  uneasy 
when  they  make  a  large  purchase;..  I  learned 
thi&at  UNCW.  It's  called  cognitive  dissonance. 
You  always  wonder,  should  I  have  really  done 
that?  Even  if  you  feel  good  about  what  you've 
done,  you  still  wonder  if  you  should  have." 

?\5IEi.r   Msa.WMkm.sori  Wayne '90 


a  common  practice,  many  mortgage 
plans  now  require  as  little  as  three 
or  five  percent  down  and  some  of- 
fer 100  percent  financing.  Loan 
programs  geared  to  moderate  and 
lower  incomes  come  on  and  off  the 
market  periodically,  as  such  loan 
money  is  available. 

"Banks  are  becoming  increas- 
ingly conscious  of  being  able  to  of- 
fer credit  to  people  of  moderate 
means  income-wise,"  says  banker 
Sioussat.  Consequently  many  have 
developed  their  own  loan  programs 
targeted  at  specific  buyers  includ- 
ing first-timers. 

Buyers  should  shop  for  a  loan 
since  different  mortgage  plans  may 
significantly  affect  the  monthly 
payment.  Fees  (credit  report,  ap- 
praisal, "points,"  inspections,  legal 
costs,  etc.)  associated  with  a  loan 
vary  from  lender  to  lender. 

First-time  home  buyers  look- 
ing for  the  best  deals  on  the  home 
market  might  consider  working 
with  a  buyer's  agent,  suggests 
Wayne.  A  buyer's  agent  has  a  legal 
obligation   to  represent  the  inter- 


est of  the  buyer.  The  sales  agent 
can  show  the  buyer  comparable 
sales  and  help  him  determine  the 
value  of  a  home.  The  agent's  com- 
mission may  be  paid  by  either  the 
buyer  or  the  seller.  A  seller's  agent 
—  who  typically  helps  buyers  ana- 
lyze their  housing  needs  and 
guides  the  buyer  through  to  settle- 
ment —  is  legally  required  to  rep- 
resent the  seller,  who  pays  the 
agent's  commission.  A  seller's 
agent  cannot  help  the  buyer  de- 
cide what  offer  to  make  or  what 
counter  offer  to  accept. 

After  the  home  buyer 
finds  a  home,  signs  a  sales 
contract,  has  it  accepted  and 
secures  a  loan,  the  final  step 
is  the  settlement.  The  key  to 
reducing  the  shock  of  settle- 
ment costs  is  knowing  what 
the  costs  will  be  ahead  of 
time.  Real  estate  agents  and 
lenders  can  provide  home 
buyers  with  an  estimate. 

After  recording  all  signed 
documents  at  the  settlement, 
the  buyer  pays  the  seller  and  the 
seller  turns  over  the  title  or  deed, 
and  the  American  dream  of 
homeownership  becomes  a  reality. 

But,  there  may  be  one  final  pit- 
fall, especially  for  first-timers.  Real 
estate  agents  call  it  "buyer's  remorse." 

"Naturally,  everyone  is  going 
to  feel  uneasy  when  they  make  a 
large  purchase,  and  I  learned  this  at 
UNCW.  It's  called  cognitive  disso- 
nance," says  Wayne.  "You  always 
wonder,  should  1  have  really  done 
that?  Even  if  you  feel  good  about 
what  you've  done,  you  still  wonder 
if  you  should  have. 

"For  first-time  home  buyers, 
they  can  be  so  afraid  it  can  inter- 
fere with  the  decision  that  they  are 
going  to  make,  which  is  actually  a 
good  decision.  They  should  try  to 
remember  that  it  is  natural  to  feel 
nervous  or  to  feel  anxiety.  In  fact, 
I'd  be  concerned  if  someone  didn't 
feel  that  way."

Violence  of  rappers'  music 
concerns  UNCW  researcher 


BY  marybeth  bianchi 

The  booming  stereo  in  the  car  that  pulls  alongside 
yours  may  make  you  cringe,  but  it's  the  words  to  the 
song  that  you  should  really  be  concerned  about. 

Rap  music,  in  particular  the  more  violent  "gangster 
rap,"  has  been  found  to  incite  violence  and  affect  its  lis- 
teners' attitudes  about  education. 

UNCW  psychology  professor  James  Johnson  is  re- 
ceiving national  recognition  for  his  study  on  the  affects 
of  rap  music,  which  has  been  accepted  for  publication  in 
Basic  and  Applied  Social  Psychology.  This  fall  he  was 
asked  to  testify  before  the  Pennsylvania  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives Judiciary  Committee  concerning  a  bill  to 
limit  minors'  access  to  certain  types  of  music,  including 
violence  rap.  The  measure  goes  beyond  the  warning  la- 
bels that  already  appear  on  some  CDs,  to  actually  pro- 
hibiting teens  from  buying  the  products. 

While  he  is  personally  against  censorship,  Johnson 
said,  "I  have  a  problem  with  young  kids  being  able  to 
purchase  this  kind  of  music.  They  can't  go  out  and  pur- 
chase pornography,  and  some  of  this  music  certainly 
comes  close  to  being  verbal  pornography.  A  lot  of  times, 
kids  don't  realize  what's  bad  for  them." 

To  reach  this  conclusion,  Johnson  studied  the  reac- 
tions of  45  African- American  boys  ages  11  to  16  from 
Wilmington's  inner  city.  He  randomly  assigned  them  to 
three  groups.  One  group  viewed  a  half-hour  of  violent 
rap  videos  while  another  viewed  a  half-hour  of  nonvio- 
lent rap  videos.  The  third  group  did  not  watch  any  vid- 


eos. Johnson  then  asked  the  teenagers  questions  which 
looked  at  their  attitudes  toward  academics  and  their 
propensity  for  violence. 

Johnson  learned  that  the  boys  who  viewed  the  violent 
rap  videos  had  a  greater  acceptance  of  the  use  of  violence, 
had  a  higher  probability  of  engaging  in  violence  and  ex- 
pressed greater  acceptance  of  the  use  of  violence  toward 
women.  And  unexpectedly,  the  teenagers  who  viewed 
both  violent  and  nonviolent  videos  indicated  that  if  given  a 
choice  they  would  rather  be  like  a  young  man  with  fancy 
clothes  and  an  expensive  car  rather  than  one  who  was 
studying  to  be  a  lawyer,  and,  furthermore,  they  didn't 
think  the  student  had  a  chance  of  meeting  his  goal. 

Johnson  said  he  wasn't  really  surprised  at  the  results 
of  his  study,  which  in  fact  reinforce  many  commonly 
held  beliefs  about  the  controversial  gangster  rap  music. 

"I  want  parents  to  know  it's  possible  the  kind  of  mu- 
sic kids  listen  to  might  have  some  harmful  effects,"  he 
said.  "In  many  cases,  the  rappers  have  more  influence 
than  parents  do." 

For  generations  parents  have  worried  about  the  det- 
rimental effects  of  popular  music  on  their  children,  but 
Johnson  doesn't  think  Elvis  with  his  gyrating  pelvis  had 
the  same  effect  as  today's  rappers  who  degrade  women 
and  promote  violence. 

"There's  a  real  difference  between  Elvis  and  this 
music,"  Johnson  said.  "This  is  not  just  music.  The  things 
they're  advocating  and  glorifying  may  have  some  harm-

ful  affects  on  your  children." 

Not  all  rap  music  is  bad,  Johnson  said,  "In  fact, 
some  rap  is  very  good,"  but  in  talking  to  teenagers,  he 
learned  that  many  find  the  "non-gangster  rap  is  boring. 
The  real  rappers  (like  Snoop  Doggie  Dog,  Ice  Cube  and 
Public  Enemy)   are  hard  core  guys." 

Johnson's  study  of  rap  music  and  violence  was  the 
first  of  its  kind,  but  like  earlier  studies  that  pointed  out 
the  harmful  effects  of  television  violence,  the  researcher 
wonders  if  his  work  will  make  a  difference. 

The  study  has  not  been  without  its  critics.  In  an  As- 
sociated Press  story,  New  York  veteran  rap  publicist 
Bill  Adler  said  he'd  never  be  convinced  that  watching 
rap  videos  increases  violent  behavior,  and  Jeff  Chang, 
who  edits  a  Los  Angeles-based  magazine  which  focuses 
on  the  hip-hop  culture,  said  much  of  the  controversy 
surrounding  violent  rap  is  racially  based. 

Johnson  doesn't  believe  that,  and  he  pointed  out 
that  some  of  the  most  vocal  critics  of  rap  music  are 
members  of  the  black  community  and  civil  rights  groups 
including  the  NAACP  and  the  National  Black 
Women's  Political  Caucus. 

"It's  not  a  racial  thing,"  he  said.  "No  real  good  can 
come  from  young  black  kids  listening  to  this  stuff.  I'm 
concerned  about  the  long-term  effects.  Given  that  ho- 
micide is  a  leading  cause  of  death  among  young  black 
males,  I  am  certainly  concerned  about  the  potential  ef- 
fects of  exposure  to  music  which  condones  and,  indeed, 
glorifies  violence.  There  is  certainly  extensive  empirical 
evidence  that  we  are  affected  by  what  we're  exposed  to." 

Johnson's  concern  about  black  youth  doesn't  end 
with  his  scientific  research.  The  Jacksonville  native  vol- 
unteers his  time  to  help  motivate  young  blacks  and 
build  up  their  self-esteem  and  self-worth.  One  of  his 
successes,  documented  in  the  Wilmington  Morning  Star, 
is  Fred  Walker,  who  was  a  leader  of  a  loosely  organized 
youth  gang  in  Creekwood  Apartments.  With  Johnson's 
help,  Walker  was  inspired  to  go  to  law  school  at  UNC 
Chapel  Hill  and  recently  passed  his  bar  exam.

Johnson  believes  parents  can  take  steps  to  reduce 
the  influence  of  violent  rap  music  on  their  children. 

"We  as  parents  have  to  take  away  the  'cool'   status 
for  these  gangster  rappers,"  Johnson  said.  "Parents  have 
to  convince  kids  it's  not  cool  to  deride  someone,  to  go 
out  and  shoot  someone.  They  have  to  make  kids  not 
want  to  listen  to  it."

Trustees  approve 
seat  for  alumni 
at  board  meetings 

The  UNCW  Alumni  Associa- 
tion achieved  another  milestone 
this  summer  when  the  university's 
Board  of  Trustees  voted  to  allow 
association  representation  at  its 
quarterly  meetings. 

In  August,  Marvin  Rohison, 
immediate  past  chairman,  presented 
a  request  to  the  trustees'  advance- 
ment committee  for  an  informal, 
non-official  seat  on  the  hoard. 

He  said  the  association  can 
provide  valuable  input  and  services 
to  the  trustees  to  help  the  board  in 
its  mission  to  make  UNCW  the 
best  it  can  be.

Association  awards  10  scholarships 


Ten  UNCW  students  have  one  less  thing  to 
worry  about  this  school  year,  and  that's  how  to 
pay  their  tuition. 

They  are  the  recipients  of  the  UNCW  Alumni 
Association's  scholarships  which  cover  in-state  tuition 
and  fees,  worth  approximately  $1,400  each. 

The  scholarships  are  given  annually  to  students 
based  on  their  academic  achievement   (a  minimum 
3.0  grade  point  average  is  required)  and  financial 
need. 

Frank  Tascone  of  Madison,  Ohio,  is  this  year's 
graduate  student  scholarship  recipient.  He  is  studying 
English  and  creative  writing. 

Undergraduates  awarded  scholarships  for  a  second 
year  are  senior  chemistry  major  Gershon  L.  Alaluf  of 
Wilmington,  sophomore  general  studies  major  David 
Heller  of  Wilmington,  junior  art  major  Jennifer  L. 
Wasson  of  Wilmington  and  junior  English  major 
Steve  L.  Lee  of  Wilmington. 

New  scholarship  recipients  are  senior  Becky  J. 
Mussat  of  Kinston,  a  psychology  major;  sophomore 
Kathy  L.  Kerns  ot  Wilmington,  a  double  major  in 
chemistry  and  biology;   freshmen  Laura  Styron  of 
Wilmington,  honors  program  participant  and  account- 
ing major,  Nicholas  Allen  of  Thomasville,  honors  pro- 
gram participant  and  pre-law  major;  and  Tommie  E. 
Ellis  of  Bladenboro,  pre-medicine  major. 


The  alumni  association  recognized  its  scholarship  recipients  at  a 
luncheon  in  August.

Alumni  Lecture  Series  begins 

Gene  Warren  '50  will  be  the  featured  speaker  at  the  fall  Alumni 
Lecture  Series  program. 

This  year's  series  kicks  off  at  7  p.m.  November  8   in  Cameron  Hall 
Auditorium. Warren's  lecture  is  titled  "The  Joy  of  a  Life  in  Journalism." 
The  Wilmington  College  graduate  worked  as  sports  editor  and  colum- 
nist for  the  Greensboro  Daily  News  before  moving  on  to  Pembroke  State 
University  where  he  spent  more  than  25  years  as  public  information  di- 
rector. He  retired  in  March. 

The  Alumni  Lecture  series  was  begun  in  1992  by  Dr.  Gerald  Shinn 
as  a  way  of  bringing  successful  alumni  back  to  the  university  each  se- 
mester to  demonstrate  to  the  campus  community  that  a  degree  from 
UNCW  is  a  key  to  a  happy  and  prosperous  life.  This  year  as  Dr.  Shinn 
prepares  to  retire,  he  has  passed  the  responsibility  of  the  lecture  series  to 
Alumni  Relations  where  he  said  "it  naturally  belongs." 

The  next  lecture  is  scheduled  for  7  p.m.  February  9  in  Cameron 
Hall  Auditorium.

SHORT     TAKES 


Harry  Warren  '78  some 
times  wonders  what  life 
would  be  like  if  he  had 
taken  the  job  offered  to  him  at  the 
Smithsonian  Institution,  but  he  says 
doesn't  regret  staying  in  Wilmington. 

After  military  service  in  Ger- 
many, the  Wilmington  native  used 
his  Veterans  Administration  benefits 
to  enroll  at  UNCW.  That  he  chose 
history  as  his  major  was  no  surprise. 
It  was  something  he  said 
he  had  wanted  to  study 
from  the  time  he  was 
eight  years  old. 

Looking  back  on  his 
education,  Warren  said 
he  was  among  "an  elite 
corp  of  historians"  at 
UNCW  and  cited  the 
two  greatest  influences 
in  his  life  as  advisor  Alan  J 
Watson  and  Tom  I 
Loftfield.  Watson  "got 
me  off  on  the  right  foot  doing  history 
the  way  it  should  be  done,"  Warren 
recalls. 

Recovering  quickly  from  a  poor 
start  his  first  semester,  Warren  went 
on  to  graduate  with  a  3.6  grade  point 
average.  His  first  job  was  through  the 
federal  CETA  program  at  the  North 
Carolina  Aquarium  at  Fort  Fisher 
where  he  worked  as  an  education 
assistant.  When  that  job  ended, 
Warren  decided  to  use  the  remainder 
of  his  VA  benefits  by  enrolling  in 
graduate  school  at  East  Carolina 
University. 

One  summer  he  had  an  opportu- 
nity to  work  at  the  Smithsonian  in 
Washington,  D.C.  In  an  office  in  the 
historic  castle,  overlooking  the  mall, 
Warren  sorted  through  the  papers  of 
Joseph  Henry,  the  first  secretary  of 


the  Smithsonian  and  renowned  1 8th- 
century  scientist. 

A  temporary  job  at  the 
Smithsonian  was  offered  to  Watten 
when  he  completed  his  master's  the- 
sis. His  other  option  was  a  perma- 
nent job  with  benefits  at  his 
hometown  museum. 

He  opted  for  the  latter,  thinking 
he  would  stay  for  a  couple  of  years 
before  moving  on.  "It's  12  years  later 
and  here  I  am,"  he  says 
with  a  wry  laugh.  War- 
ren, who  has  been  Cape 
Fear  Museum's  historian 
and  publicist,  was  pro- 
moted to  assistant  direc- 
tor in  March. 

"It's  one  of  those 
things  when  you  look 
back,  you  say  if  I'd 
taken  that  path  my  life 
would  have  been  to- 
tally different.  I  can't 
help  but  wonder  a  little  bit,  but  I 
don't  have  any  regrets,"  he  said. 
"This  job  has  opened  up  many 
doors.  It's  made  me  a  seasoned  mu- 
seum professional  and  given  me  a 
real  strong  foundation  to  go  for- 
ward from  here."  This  fall,  he  be- 
gins his  tenure  as  president  of  the 
North  Carolina  Museum  Council.

gether to  bring  one  of  nation's  di- 
nosaur authorities  to  Wilmington.

(Wilmington)  nine  years  ago  by  my

why  I'm  here,"  Warren  said.
