Better to Give. •

B ack in the '50s there was an informal cui­rural aesthetic

that divided the world inro rwo kinds of people: "hip" people and "square" people.

ln Chicago, Hugh Hefner, founder of Playboy mag­azine, was synonymous with "hip." Hefs enterprise at­tracted people such as Dick Gregory, Norman Mailer and Lenny Bruce. William Buckley wrote for Playboy as if to demonstrate that con­servatives need not be "squares." To be featured in a Playboy interview was to be as "hip" as being on the cover of Rolling Stone maga­zine would be ten years later.

Nowadays, Dick Gregory has long gone organic, and Lenny Bruce is dead of a drug overdose. Hef, citing fear of AIDS, is married , and the ever-vigilant Na­tional Enquirer reports that his mother-in-law dominates his life. Nowadays, Hef is a square, and the Playboy bunny insignia as out-of­touch as the peace symbol of the '60s.

On top of it all, when a Playboy photographer, him­self an aging hipster, descends upon university campuses to solicit models for cheesecake, he is greeted by student demonstrators, petitions, and diatribes in student newspapers against pornography and exploi­raoon.

Students are different now-different from when Playboy was a campus

manual in the '50s, and Rolling Stone was in the '60s. New styles, themes and new attitudes are spreading like a brush fire.

Ashley Hairston, a Wake Forest sophomore from Wal­nut Cove, North Carolina, wrote about these changes in the Old Gold and Black last September.

"It isn't a swing to the radical right or left or any­thing necessarily political," he wrote, "but a sense that it is rime to put things back the way they should be."

Srudents have been known to embody a genera­cion's dream and to act un­expectedly; they did again last fall when senior Marybeth Torbet of Charlone, North Carolina, then president of the inter­society council, wanted to

get societies involved m volu nteer work. She expect­ed maybe 30 people to at­tend an organizational meeting, but 150 srudents showed up. Similarly, when seruor Ray Gurganus of Williamston, North Caroli­na, president of the Wake Forest Chapter of Habitat for Humanity, set up a booth at the Srudent Activi­ties Fair, over 100 people volunteered to help him build homes for the under­privileged.

At a meeting of Torbet's group to discuss the suate­gy and deployment of the 200 srudents involved in the Srudent Volunteer Corps, the style and demeanor of those anending bore little resemblance to their coun­terparts of the '60s. Missing

among these srudent volun­teers is the binerness and easy cynicism that sciil per­vades in the daily comic suip "Doonesbury". The need to define oneself against a clearly identified enemy, be it parent, ad­minisuarion, political power or general culture, is absent as well.

Project orientation is the order of the group, which coordinates volunteer efforts to work in seven categories: children, hospitals, the elderly, the homeless, hun­ger, literacy and special services/emergencies. "Doing," nor talking about "doing;· is the basic idea. In fact, rhetoric appears nonexiStent.

"It's hard to be cynical when you say to yourself, well I've got to uy," said junior William Pleasant of l.umbenon, North Carolina, one of the founders of the Srudent Volunteer Corps. "If you say, 'Well, I'm going to solve all of the world's problems; that would make you want to give up. If you just say, 'I've got to do everything I can; then you will, and you get a lot more done."

Torbet agrees. When she was in her junior year she felt that a lot of her activi­ties, although wonderful and worthwhile, were self­serving.

"It srarred to bother me," she said , "So last year, I was going our of office, and I wanted to donate some of my time, so I uained as a literacy rutor. I teach a 32-year-old man here in WinSton-Salem who works for RJR how to read, and we're really best friends

now. The time I spend with him, 1 think I'm learning a lot more than I am in class­es. It's a different side of life than I've ever known."

Man Rebello, a freshman from Norfolk, Massachusetts, agrees that the volunteer, the donor, receives the gift.

"I never really thought about going into helping other people," he said, "but my high school had a cam­pus minisuy and I jusr signed up one day to see what it was like. Ever since then, I found out that not only can we give a lot to them, but disadvantaged people have a lot to give to us.' '

The founders of the Volunteer Corps, including Rebello, Pleasant, senior Broocks Jackson of David­son, North Carolina, and freshman Libby Bell of Greenville, South Carolina, were motivated to volunteer for different reasons.

"I can't srand to see peo­ple suffer;' said Pleasant, "and also you see potencial in all of these people."

Bell got involved in volunteer work in high school and went on several missions, one ro work with underprivileged children in a homeless shelter in lDuis­ville, Kenruclry.

"There was one panicular child who had so much potencial," she said, "She could be anything she want­ed to be if she had the op­ponunity, and ever since then I jusr wanted to work with children who were like that."

Since then she has worked with banered women and abused children.

"I guess the reason I volunteer is 1 feel like I don't want to live a teenage life without doing some­thing for the community and for people who have less than I have;· said Bell. "I feel like I've been privileged in the way I've been brought up, and I feel obligated to help other people."

Members of the Student Volunteer Corps "make up" a child at the group's Halloween party.

She said that her parencs brought her up w consider volumeer work a responsi­bility.

BeU wancs to be a lawyer, work for the poor and raise five kids. Torbet wancs to be a coUege professor. None of the studencs sees an either/or siruation, as in either you work for a corporation or work for the poor.

"I don't think that they can't necessarily work together:' said Pleasant. " It seems w me that for a lor of people, the volunteer corps is a way to rekindle education here ... it's be­come such a career-oriented thing, that w be educated

in what the real world is like, and the problems that we face, that's really a more valuable education."

officer in the invescment banking division of Gold­mao , Sachs and Co., gave simple advice on how to keep things in perspective while pursuing a career: "work for the poor."

HaUaday, president of One to One, an organiza­tion which establishes men­wr relationships between coUege studencs and the un­derprivileged, sees an enor­mous amount of energy that can be released among sru­dencs and says he has seen interest in his program on huodseds of campuses.

ways. I think it's the frwcs of the 'Me' decade that got tom up in ics own concerns.''

Volunteer work among students is generating more interest than the Grateful Dead, bur this is only one aspect of the student wday. Srudent columnist Hairston said that what we see emer­ging in the student is a microcosm of what is emer­ging thsoughour the world: a "resrrucruring things m a way they should be."

The end of the cold war is the end of a movement that began before World War I, he said. "What we see now ts the end for the childsen of Flanders Field," said Hairston, "and perhaps, the beginning of a golden era."

Education As a Trust

We have begun at Wake Forest a new consideration of our own instirutiooal responsibility for values. An important faculty srudy has resulted. This concern is central to our purpose as a university. Colleges and universities aU have state­mencs of their mission and purpose. These statemencs are inevitably filled with language which commies the university to ethical outcomes for studencs and moral purposes for the in­stirution. Such commencs are especially prominent in Wake Forest's own state­ment. The fact is that universities and colleges generally default on that ethical responsibility, and end up providing courses for studencs as if that func­tion fulfilled the purpose of education. I am anxious that Wake Forest not fail ics own purposes or you, our srudencs, in this vital area_

There are no "value free" educational programs. There are values in the educational process, values which belong to the very process of learning and teaching. There are also values of the educational process. Education aims at certain ideal outcomes. In more theoretical terms, education is a purposive ac­tivity. The aims of educa­tion are pan and parcel of the discipline of moral and ethical philosophy. Effons at "value neutral" educa­tion are impossible in the­ory and in fact.

There is no education of a mind absent concern about human development, in­cluding characrer develop­ment. Therefore, the path we have taken at Wake Forest to emphasize public service, ethics, and character development is central to the formation of values which bear heavily upon the life of each individual as well as the maintenance of democratic instirutions which foster freedom .

The simplest deflnition of education is integrity in be­lief and behavior. Im­manuel Kant said that nothing in or out of the world is good without qualification except the good will. That holds for knowledge icself. Unless knowledge is direcred toward morally constrUctive ends by good character, it can be misused. The doctor knows how to kill as well as cure. The lawyer knows how to evade as well as uphold the law. Everything depends upon the will which direccs knowledge. My hope is that Wake Forest srudencs will regard their education as a rrust, given for use in so­cially beneficial ways. Per­sonal happiness and the public good should be the twin objectives of your lives.

Many of the most serious questions of human life revolve around the dilem­mas of self and society, the individual and others, per­sonal happiness and the common good. By our neglect of these themes of social and public responsi­bility, colleges and universi­ties helped create the vacuum filled by the me­first-and-only yuppie men­tality. Schools and colleges in the 1960s realized the inadequacy of traditional paternalism in dealing with srudencs. We gave up tn

loco parentis, but in many cases we surrendered serious and substantive concern about values, character de­velopment and public responsibility.

Surveys of college srudencs indicate that skepticism and mistrUSt of public iostiru­tions and indifference to public service is widespread among you. Democracy de­pends upon our voluntary commitment to public ser­vice and volunteerism. I urge you to strengthen our public iostirutions. Give back as you have been given. Make your communi­ty better because you live there - from the schools, to the churches and the temples, to the Scoucs and the United Way. Freedom is precious, and springs from the hands of free men and women.

Science will not resolve these issues, and they promise to become even more complex as technolo­gies make it possible to alter radically the course of life from the womb to the tomb. Issues of life and death will be among the pressing issues of your generation. They are mat­ters of faith , not fact.

The principle at issue in our spirirual or transcen­dent values is, of cour~e. faith . About these ultimate issues, the disciplines of ra­tional thought will not much avail. You will, there­fore, need to come to terms with your own faith and what it requires of you wtth respect to these matters. It does behoove us aU however, to be reminded that in matters of the spirit we walk by faith , not by sight. We need to learn the lessons of humility and tolerance, so often lacking in our present discusston As we move into global relationships, the conflictS of the various faiths of our races will pose the most difficult dilemmas. Let us hope we believe enough in God or the gods not to de­mand the imposing on others of our particular be­liefs. We need not substi­rute our ideology for divine purpose.

White House Insiders

T~~p~::b:;s25, 1988. Mike Smith, a Wake

Forest senior and Student Government president, ner­vously waited inside the bowels of Wait Chapel. In the last few hours he had been followed to class by video crews, interviewed on national television, and shaken the hands of two men, one of whom would soon be elected ·President of the United States. He was about to be inuoduced to a celebrity-filled audience as

CHERIN POOVEY

one of three undergraduates who " brought" the Presi­dential Debate to Wake Forest.

A year later, September 1989, George Bush was work­ing at the White House, and, coincidentally, so was Mike Smith.

But last fall 's Wake Forest contingent at the White House wasn't limited to

Mike Smith ('89). It includ­ed another alumnus, Brian Yablonski ('89) of Potomac, Maryland, and junior Cal Smith, a political science major from Sea Island, Georgia. Mike Smith worked as an intern in the Office of Political Affairs; Cal Smith

as an intern in the public liaison office of Vice Presi­dent Dan Quayle. Yablonski was an intern in the im­mediate office of President George Bush.

Three Wake Foresters in the White House at the same time? It's very uncom­mon for a single school to

have such representation, said Mike Smith. What is even more unusual is that Smith, Smith, and Yablon­ski were students in Profes­sor Jack Fleer's class on "Congress and Policy­making" last year.

"There we were in the same class," Mike Smith said. "And then we all ended up in the White House."

Left to nght: junior Cal Smith ('91} Brian Yablonski {'89), and Mik<

Smith ('89)

For young people con­sidering careers in public service, the White House represents the ultimate on­the-job training. It means seeing how government works from the inside out, not the outside in. It means long hours, shon weekends, and the pressure tbat comes with working at the core of the nation's power structure. But it also means being privy to the vice president's schedule. It means passing the First Lady in the hall­way. It means gathering on the White House lawn to attend arrival ceremonies for foreign heads of state, or watching performances at the Kennedy Center from the President's Box.

Mike Smith, a political science major from Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, took time off from his job with The Shelton Companies in Winston-Salem for the in­ternship. The partisan Office of Political Affairs coor­dinates presidential suppon of gubernatorial and sena­torial campaigns, endorse­ments, appearances, and fund-raising events.

"We could spend as much as a week preparing for a brief visit by the President;' said Mike . "We listened to the needs of the political constitu­ents."

Mike said he was very im­pressed with President Bush and his ability to handle so many events at one time.

"He is so at ease and com­fonable with most groups," he said. Though his sched­ule is grueling and his duties overwhelming, Bush always has time to pose for pictures or to point out to visitors the White House window where he often can see his wife, Barbara, Mike said.

His experience in propos­ing, lobbying for, winning, and organizing the Presiden­tial Debate on campus in 1988 taught Mike a lot about teamwork, responsibil­ities, and dedication to a goal. But his experience at the White House has pur all that into a newer, bigger perspective.

" It has made me even more interested in public service; seeing what it takes to get something done; see­ing who calls the shots."

Cal Smith, a political science major, says public service blood runs in his fa.mily. The desire to help one's fellow man combined with an eagerness to be "where the action is" seemed a recipe that would inevitably lead him to the nation's capital. But before he graduated from college?

"It's just something I really wanted to do," said Cal, whose mother has long been active in Georgia poli­tics, fusr at the local level and now as a state legislator. His family is accustomed to

calls in the wee hours from constituents who want to know why their roads aren't paved or their ditches don't drain, be said.

His internship was in the public liaison office of Vice President Dan Quayle. His responsibilities included an­swering calls and leners and making advance preparations for visits by the vice presi­dent, such as securing greet­ers and sign-wavers. It was not the fmt experience Smith had had in national politics. He worked last summer as an intern in the office of Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Georgia.

"My letter-writing skills have really improved," said Cal. " I bet I answered 40 letters a day. We concentra­ted on getting ideas back to the vice president." He was

surprised at how many peo­ple wrote directly to the vice president rather than to one of their congressmen or sen­ators. "I've gotten to see the mechanics of how things get done," he said. More impor­tantly, through projects such as helping a ciry prepare for a vice presidential visit, he has learned the value of teamwork and the impor­tance of performing one's assigned tasks.

" I've learned that the vice president and the president

are real people, just like me and you;·· he said. "The reality of their jobs has set in. They work hard. They are interested and genuine. I've seen that it's not such a glamorous job. Things aren't as rosy as you'd think they'd be."

Yablonski's position at the White House made him un­available for an interview.

Cal, who worked during the day and took a course at night so that he would graduate on schedule, said the White House staff works 14-hour days and at least a day each weekend. "My so­cial life was nonexistent," he said. "] have much more of an appreciation for college. My days were so much longer."

He may enter law school after graduation bur fuse Cal hopes to take a year or two off and work in politics at the local and state levels. "I've taken a liking to help­ing others," he said. "Wake Forest is so involved with the community. It has been a great stepping stone ro a career in public service."

School of Law Celebrates Anniversary Of Landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act

When her mother left Nonh Carolina for the Nonh at age 15, never in her wildest dreams did Eleanor Holmes onon think she herself would ever return. But when she made the journey ro Wake Forest University in November to give the keynote speech to the School of I.aw:'s sympo­sium, "Twenty-five Years of the Civil Righcs Act: Hist­ory and Promise;• she found ir ro be a different place from the one her mother had known.

" It says a lot ahour the 1964 Civil RightS Act, and ir says a lor ahour onh Carolina," said Nonon. "It says a lor ahour the new South, thar statistically as many blacks move inro the new South as move our. Only 20 years ago thar could nor have been the case."

onon, a professor of law at Georgetown Universi­ty Law Center, was appoint­ed by President Jimmy Car­ter ro chau the Equal Em­ployment Opportunity Com­mission on Civil Righcs, the fust woman to head the agency. Other panelists for the symposium included Nicholas deB. Karzenbach, U.S. anomey general during the Johnson adrninisaation; Julius L Chambers, director­counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund; and Cruz Reynoso,

who was appointed to the California Supreme Coun in 1982.

The 1964 Civil RightS Act bans cliscrimination on the basis of race, color, religion or sex. bur the lasr term of the Supreme Coun was the worst in memory for equality, said onon. The positions taken by those seeking equality losr repeatedly.

"Advocates have rurned to the Congress for relief from a half dozen decisions that represent a hold depar­ture and make pudding of the equal employment law," said Nonon.

Nonon and Chambers fo­cused on Chapter VII of the Civil RightS Act which spe­cifically refers to job dis­crimination. The couru bave all but incapacitated the statute, she said, by set­cing unfeasible standards of proof and by not allowing litigantS to recover legal fees.

Chambers, whom onon called " the brains behind the Civil Righcs Act.;' said that the couru began to retreat from civil tightS commitment in the rnid­'70s in employment dis­crimination cases when they said expen testimony is re­quired to win a case, but fees to pay for the expens could not be recovered.

cloning employment dis­crimination cases because of the high cost of litigation and because the coun sys­tem is increasingly hostile to such cases, said Chambers.

Recal ling the history of the passage of the act, Kat­zenbach called it the fust

imponant political role of television.

"Without television there would be no civil rights act," he said . The strategy of the civil rights propo­nents in the Johnson ad­ministration was ai med at public accommodation, he said , because of the tele­vised sit-ins and demonstra­tions. Katzenbach said he worked for rwo years to shape legislation that both

the Republicans and the civil rights groups could agree on.

When the legislation was finally passed, said Reynoso, it went quickly and natural­ly into practice, and visible segregation quickly crum­bled because the country was ready for ir. He told of growing up in California where the school system was divided into "Mexican" schools and "American" schools.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a movement toward what Abraham Lincoln called the "standard max­im," said Reynoso. "A giant step was taken forward in the '60s," he said, "making the realicy of America come closer to the ideal of America."

Piccolo Drive Exceeds Goal

The 1989 Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund Drive raised $45,079. meeting its goal and exceeding the amount raised in last year's cam­paign by $5,000. The money was presented to the Wake Forest University Cancer Center by fund drive co-cl1airmen Don Mueh ('90) and Ginne Cal­houn ('90).

The presentation marked the tenth year of the stu­dent-administered fund drive. In 1980, $3,500 was

raised in memory of Piccolo, the Wake Forest student­athlete who died of cancer in 1970.

"It's an extraordinary ef­fon and it can make a difference," said Much. Campus organizations have creative moneymaking ven­tures each fall, such as "frankfests," road races, dance-a-thons, and a 100-mile football run from the old campus to the new one in Winston-Salem.

The Future: Teaching or Research?

What should be the dominant course for Wake furest University to take imo the furore: research or teaching? The fiill meeting of the Wake furest Board of Visitors convened to discuss that question in the Rare Books Room of the Z. Smith Reynolds library last November.

'Wake furest should be on irs guard as it receives more attention," said John W. Chandler ('4 5), presi­dent of the Association of American Colleges. "It may come to a point where it is rime to move up to a research university." If so, the University will want to avoid the kind of university caste system where graduate srudenrs do most of the reaching, he said.

Gillian Iiodt, professor of the sociology of rdigton ar Columbia University, told the Board of Visitors that the University must remain a single culrure of teaching and research, for both must be linked in a house of knowledge.

" [o my view, research is over-rewarded;' said Jasper D. Memoty ('56), vice presi­dent for research of the University of North Carolina General Adminisuation. He recalled his fmt year of reaching when he paid little attention to research and concenuared on reaching. When he received the mini­mum allowed raise, he re-

structured his life and rumed to research.

According ro Susan Jackels, associate professor of chernisccy, research is availa­ble to freshmen at Wake furest, which gives the University an advantage over larger universities. Bur m ocpandiog the number of Ph.D. programs, she s:ud, an effort should be made to keep the c:xisciog context and enhance the University's uaditional unique values.

James B. Hunt, former governor of North Carolina who agreed to continue as chairman of the Board of Visitors until the spring meeting, said that although there is clearly a need for both reaching and research, there is a close relaaooship between srudent and faculty at Wake furest, and the University will retain that relationship. The spring meeting of the Board of Visitors will focus on how reachers are evaluated and rewarded, said Hum

A model of the Professional Center for lilw and Management

LAW AND MANAGEMENT

The Professional Center: Old Family, New Generation

When Velazquez painted for Philip the rv, the face he had to put on the canvas was Philip the rv, said Ce­sar Pelli. If Velazquez want­ed to paint another face, or to express his reactions against monarchy, he wou ld lose his patron.

Such is the an of the ar­chitect who works on com­mission, Pelli added. His ftrm, Cesar Pelli & Associ­ates, has been commis­sioned to design Wake Forest's Professional Center for Law and Management. It is nor unlike receiving a commission to paint the likeness of a member of an old and distinguished fami ly.

"This building is in the Wake Forest tradition, but

ir is also a modern build­ing: · PeUi said. " It 's a rein­terpretation of Wake Forest io our time."

Architecture is a complex and imponanr an that has ro do with specific places, climates and traditions, he said, and the professional center will be a building very much in the same fam­ily as the Wake Forest build­ings. Pelli envisions the building as "very proud to be in that family . bur it is a new generation." This generation will connect Wake Forest to the future, Pelli said.

"These buildings are going to have the brunt of

their life take place in the third millenium," he said, "the 21st century, and so they are designed with that in mjnd."

Designing a building in Winston-Salem is different from designing a building at Harvard , or for General Foods, or the teamsters, said Pelli. In Wake Forest's professional center, the ar­chitect has the additional chaUenge of bringing together rwo disciplines that are not usually found in the same building: law and bus­iness. The building's coun­yard is designed so law and business students wiU sit and talk , and enlarge their vision of the world and enlarge their range of friendship, he said.

Professional Center pn"nczpals Fred Clarke (left), Cesar Pe/li (center) and Diana Balmon"

"I'm very fond of coun­yards, because courtyards are both a separation and a joining. It joins socially," he said. "That's why we have planned the building very carefully so that you are almost in the courtyard be­fore you enter right or left to the two administrations. To reach the central library which is the one common element of the rwo schools, you go straight across the courtyard into the library."

Pelli believes that the ex­isting courtyards on campus have good character, and

the courtyard of the profes­sional center is an extension of that Wake furest rracli­tion. The landscaping designed to coordinate with the building will increase irs effectiveness. Diana Balmori, a principal in Fel­li's fum who designs the landscaping, will cover two

sides of the courtyard colon­nades with wisteria.

"Campuses are as much about landscaping as they are about building," said Balmori, "and it is impor­tant to design the two

together." This is especially true in the South, said Pel­li, where the temperate sea-

son lasts much longer than in Boston or New Haven and there is a greater use of courtyards and outside spaces.

Pelli 's ftrm, based in New Haven, Connecticut, was voted the outstanding ar­chitecrural ftrm of 1989 by the American Institute of Architects. The ftrm 's pro­projects include the Museum of Modern An extension and the World Financial Center, both in New York Ciry, and the North Carolina Performing Ans Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Seana Arnold Wins All-America Recognition

Sophomore Seana Ar­nold, running as an in­clividual entrant in the NCAA women's cross coun­try championship last fall , placed sixth to earn All­America honors. Arnold , of Ypsilanti, Michigan, ran the 5,000-meter course in 16:48.

Arnold became only the second All-America in Wake furesr's women's cross coun­try history. Karen Dunn was the first in 1985.

Arnold also made Univer­sicy history when she be­came the first cross country athlere-male or female-to win an inclividual ACC cross country title. She was the 1989 women's inclividu­al champion.

"College coa.ches are out there ti}'lllg to rttruit out­=ding athletes-notice I dido' t say srudent ath­letes. They're looking for youngsters who are capable from an athletic =dpoint ro leapfrog you ahead of your competition.

I like to tell a player that only be can keep himself from being a star and NBA player if he's that good. But the harsh reality is that only 30 spots open up in the fBA earh year. And out of the thousands of youngsters who are playing the game. and dreaming. only 30 a year will have a real shot at it."

Nutrition Center Planning Begins

Congress has appropriated $2,890.000 for planning and design of a Center for Human Nutrition and Chroruc Disease Prevention at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine. The appropria­rion is the first step in es­tablishing a center and consrrucring a research building on the campus of the Bowman Gray/Baprist Hospital Medical Center.

The research building, which is expected to cost $45 .8 million, will face Eden Terrace on the power plant side of the recently expanded Hanes Research Building

"The entire North Caro­lina congressional delega­rion acrively participated in obtaining the center for Bowman Gray, led by Con­gressman Steve Neal ," said Dr. Richard Janeway, vice president for health affairs and execurive dean . "Con­gressman W.G. (Bill) Hef­ner and Senators Jesse Helms and Terry Sanford also were especially helpful ."

The center, which will be one of the Human Nutri­tion Research Centers estab­lished by the U.S. Depart­ment of Agriculture , was conceived in the wake of the 1988 Surgeon General 's Report on Nutn'tion and Health .

Bowman Gray is unique­ly qualified to operate a center to investigate the link berween nutririon and chrome disease because ir is

20

the only medical school with centers for research on atherosclerosis, cancer, and suoke supponed by the Na­rional lnsritutes of Health.

" While the American lifestyle and chronic dis­eases are a serious health challenge, they also rep­resent a unique opponunity in the fields of research, technology transfer, and de­velopment of new food producrs ," Janeway said. " The center will house a research program to answer nutririon quesrions , uJri­marely beneficing millions of people who otherwise would become victims of chronic disease."

The center is being or­ganized to conduct research at three levels. First the bas­ic investigations of nutri­rional dimensions of the major human chronic dis­eases, utilizing the tech­niques of molecular and cel­lular biology and appropri­ate animal models. Second are the carefully controlled human metabolic stUdies of the nutritional determinants of disease , the mechanisms by which nutrients are me­tabolized, and the nutrient effecrs on human metabo­lism in individuals with a chronic disease or who are at risk for developing such a disease . Finally there are stadies using volunteer human populations to test the efficacy of experimental dietary interventions on the development, severity , and treatment of chronic diseases .

Bowman Gray has re­tained an architect/ engineer to begin design of the facility .

EDUCATION

University Will Fund Fellowships For Minority Master Teacher Program

A proposed teacher edu­carion program is so impor­tant to the furure of the profession that University officials have pledged to find funds to suppon it in a belt-tightening budget year.

The University had re­quested help in funding the Minority Master Teacher Fel­low Program from the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school system, but on Jan . 8 the school board turned down that request.

President Thomas K. Hearn Jr. said the University and its faculty believe so suongly in the need to at­tract highly qualified minority reachers to the profession that Wake Forest will find the money.

"In a tight budget year, we are going to look hard and find the funds to sup­pon this program," Hearn said. The program will offer $8,000 sripends and $8,800 scholarships to four minority stadents.

The University already has a master-teacher fellow pro­gram in the city-county schools with 16 students who are working toward a master's degree in educa­rion . Those fellows will receive $3 ,000 sripends next year. Professor Joseph 0. Milner, director of the pro­gram and chainnan of the Department of Education , said: " We have to give minorities an incentive to apply. There are many op­ponunities in industry which might otherwise draw potential applicants away

from reaching. This is an incentive that's got to be tried."

None of the program's applicants since its inception in 1988 has belonged to a minority group. One-third of the nation's population will be minorities in 1999. Milner said, yet the number of non-white reachers is decreasing .

Had the Winston­Salem/Forsyth County Schools approved the joint venrure, reaching fellows would have agreed to reach in the system for rwo years following completion of the program if they were offered such a position. But, Milner said, the school system will still cooperate with the University on the program, pennining fellows to ob­serve and work with current­ly employed teachers who have been identified as " master teachers ." Milner compares the program to one in which interns make medical rounds. " They see different approaches to the body," he said. "We're seeing different reaching styles."

Fellows are outstanding stadents who have graduat­ed from colleges or universi­ties with majors in English, history , math , or science, but who did not enter teacher education programs, who did not consider teaching as a career, or who did nor want to use the last semester of their college careers to prepare to teach, Milner said.

Elly Ameling conducts a master class at Wake Forest.

MUSIC

In the Master Class , Students Learn From the Best

The student falte!S, the teacher encourages. The Stu­

dent tries harder, the reach­er demands more. The Stu­

dent succeeds, the reacher applauds.

When a pupil performs before a seasoned artist, de­rails are dwelled upon; fine pornts become major obsta­cles. They call ir a master class, because the masrer is in control, and there is much to be learned from studying with the best.

Four Wake Forest voice scudents had sucb an ex­perience in December when they had the opportunity to

sing for Dutch soprano Elly Ameling, who is regarded by many as the world's pre­mier lieder singer. Ameling held a master class the day before her own performance as a guest of the ecrest Artists Series.

"A master class gives stu­dents insight inro what ir means ro be a professional­the time, the derailed work, the dedication," said soprano Teresa Radomski, assistant professor of music. "You can spend minutes on a single

syllable." In their work with Elly Ameling, Radomski said, the scudents gor the sense char she doesn't neglect ro turn over any stone when she is rehearsing a piece.

'fl. master class gives students insight into what it means to be a professional."

Radomski, who held audi­tions and narrowed the field ro four who would perform for Ameling, said char the

master class also lets scudents see char master performers do, indeed, do all the things they (the scudents) are taught. An artist such as Ameling reiterates to them that it is imponanr to con­trol tone as well as pronun­ciation, force as well as mood.

"Her inststence on gerung it right was wonderful for the students ro see," Radomski said. "They saw that she was inspired by the text of the poem, and char her voice was used at the service of the musical text. She was not concerned w1th the beauty of her voice."

Through ralkmg w1th an artist sucb as Ameling about her uavel schedule and about coping with ume and climate changes, scudents ger an idea of the sacnfices a performing artist must make, she added.

If a master class gives Stu­

dents insight inro the per­former as performer and reacher, it serves another valuable purpose, Radomski said. It allows students and those In the audience ro ger to know an artist as a per­son. Ameling rook time ro talk with mdividual students and appeared ro be humble as well as helpful, she said.

"It was an expenence of a lifetime for these studeors," Radomski said. "I hope that Wake Forest will continue to

get great performe!S to work with our students. They in­spire all of us."

College Fund Telethon Exceeds $500,000 Goal

From Oct. 18 through Nov. 21, 500 volunteer callers raised $503,842 in 5,300 unrestricted pledges from alumni and parents for the College Fund. The goal for the 1989 telethon was $500,000. ln 1988, the national telethon raised $454 ,102 in pledges from 5,114 alumni and parents.

Last year's telethon was rescheduled from winter to fall co allow the donor ro pay the pledge before the end of the 1989 tax year.

"We did not know how the change wou ld affect the telethon, but the results clearly indicate that a fall telethon is preferred by

both callers and prospects. The change will benefic the telethon's success and ulti­mately Wake Forest in years ro come;· said Jim Welsh, director of alumni and stu­dent programs.

Sonja H. Murray ('86, MBA '88 MBA) served as the National Chairman for this year's telethon.

"Personally, I enjoyed the telethon and throughout it I spent time gerting to know alumni and students. The success of this year's tel­ethon in my opinion was due to the dedication of

the alumni and students, enthusiasm of our callers, and commitment of the alumru office scaff;' Murray said.

Murray received suppon from the four student chair­men who organized the stu­dent groups to call. The student chairmen were Elizabeth Glass ('90); Melis­sa Gwyn ('91); Mark Hage­wood ('90); and John Jordan {'91). Over 400 stu­dent volunteers participated in the effon.

The 185,000 square foot center, which will house the Babcock Graduate School of Management and the School of Law, will cost $26.5 million.

The center will solve criti­cal space needs of the professiOnal programs by nearly doubling the space now occupied by the schools of law and of management. In addition, the law and management facu lties are exploring courses which can be offered jointly, including dispute resolution, corporate finance, business law, and professiOnal ethics.

Cesar Pelli and Associates have been selected as the

24

archnects for the professional center (see related story on page 16), with groundbreak­wg scheduled for fall 1990. Completion is anticipated by spring 1992.

The site selected for the professional center is the wooded area adjacent co tbe south entrance to the cam­pus off University Parkway, near the water tower. With an exterior of red brick and a copper roof, the building will blend with the Geor­gian architecture of the other buildings on the Wake Forest campus.

First Wachovia Corpora­cion has pledged $1 million in support of the building. Others who have made commiunents to support the professional center funding plan include: Don Adams, Samuel Behrends, Paul B. Bell , R. Terry Bennett, Guy Blynn , William F.

Z. Smith Reynolds Grant Will Extend Minority Scholarship Program

The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation announced in November that it will award Wake Forest $300,000 to continue the University's minority scholarship pro­gram for rwo more years . The award is an extension of a 198 5 grant by the Foundation at its original level of $150,000 per year . Securing permanent endow­ment for the program will be one of the priorities of the Wake Forest 1991 capi­tal campaign .

In a rime of near -crisis low in the numbers of black Americans in college , the minority scholarship pro­gram has been highly suc­cessful at Wake Forest. Through the work of the Office of Minority Affairs and Gloria Cooper, admis­sions counselor and minority student recruiter, Wake Forest has increased the per­centage of black students in the freshman class from 4. 2 percent in 1987-88 to 7.4 percent in 1988-89 and to 8.6 percent this year.

Applications for the 1989-90 freshman class were 60 percent higher than those received last year. While the number of black students attending Wake Forest on athletic scholar­ships remains relatively sta­ble from year to year, the nu mber of black students nor on athletic scholarships has increased remarkably. The 1989 freshman class in­cludes 62 black students not on ath letic scholarship , representing an increase of

140 percent in just rwo years .

Black students , ad­ministrators , faculty , and local alumni form a nerwork of support for black stu­dents at Wake Forest.

" The students them­selves , as well as their aca­demic accomplishments and high graduation rates, tell us that our efforts are suc­ceeding," said Director of Minority Affairs Ernest Wade. "Our ongoing sup­port system nor only works to ensure retention and graduation ; it is also a key clement in our growing suc­cess in recruiting top black srudents."

Fourteen months ago , the Wake Forest administration announced its goal of 10 percent minority enrollment by 1995 . The University

expects ro reach that goal ahead of schedule.

In expressing appreciation to the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation for its support , Vice President for University Relations G . William Joyner ('66) said , " At a time when a crisis low exists in the numbers of young black Americans attending four­year institutions of higher learning, the Foundation 's timely support of our efforts through the minority scholarships has been viral to our success so far. We are grateful that the Foundation has elected to extend this productive partnership. ''

Painter Francis W. Speight ('17} Leaves a Legacy of Light

Francis Wayland Speight, one of the most celebrated North Carolina artistS of the century, d1ed on ovem­ber 14 , 1989, in Greenville , North Carolina. He was 93 years old.

Speight painted ordinary scenes with exuaordmary In·

sight. In his hands, the most simple subject matter be­came visual poetry of light and atmosphere: a workman going up a hill to home in a Philadelphia suburb, peanut stacks in an eastern orth Carolina field , the old house near Windsor, North Carolina, where he was born .

According to collectors, dealers and museum officials, Speight was more than a regional artist. He developed his own style of landscape painting and pursued It without regard to fads in the art marketplace. His work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art In New York , the Boston Museum of Fine Arrs , the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh .

Speight grew up on a farm 10 Bertie Counry ( C). the youngest of seven children. H1s aputude for art was apparent from boyhood. He entered Wake Forest Col­lege in 1915 and began taking art lessons from Ida Poteat at Meredith College. In 1920 , he enrolled at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington and then went on to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Am, where he joined the faculty In 1926. Most of his career as an artist and reacher was spent in the Philadelphia area where he painted scenes in working-class neigh­borhoods.

He returned to orth Carolina in 1961 as an artist 10

residence at East Carolina University in Greenville, a position he held until his retirement in 1976.

In his lifeume, Speight received many honors in­cluding an honorary doctor of humanities degree from Wake Forest in 1962 . He also was awarded the Academy Gold Medal of Honor from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arrs, the N. C. Medal for Achieve­ment in the Fine Arrs , and the 0 . Max Gardner Award from UNC at Chapel Hill .

He is survived by his wife , Sarah Blakeslee Speight , who is also a landscape painter, a daughter and a son.

A Doctor, an Inventor, and a Poet

Dr. Billy F. Andrews ('53) is a Renaissance man : he is a giant in the field of pediatrics , he is an inventor, and he writes poetry.

When his colleagues in medicine presented him with a 300-year-old clock on the occaston of his lOth Newborn Symposium Anniversary , Andrews didn ' t just thank them . He wrote a poem , "My Three Century Clock." It will be included in the 1990 edition of Great Poems of the Western World, and he has been honored as a Silver Poet by the World of Poetry.

The 57 -year-old pediatrician has been writing poetry and verse since the age of seven. He has written tributes to reachers, medical associates and friends which have been published in medical journals, magazines and anthologies . He is an elected member of Who's Who tn Poetry and Who's Who in Writers, Editors, and Poets.

His best-known poem has been "The Children's Bill of Rights," written in 1968. It is a statement of Andrews' philosophy about the rights of children and the responsi­bility of society toward its young. One often-quoted line from the poem is " ... the level of civilization attained by any society will be determined by the attention it has paid to the welfare of its infants and children."

Quotes from his writing and statements were collected by his secretary, Martha E. Walls , and published as a book in 1986, Aphorisms, Tributes, and Tenets of Billy F. An­drews. Sales from the book helped to establish a scholar­ship in Dr. Andrews' name that is given each year to a senior medical student in pediatrics at the University of Louisville 's School of Medicine in Kentucky .

Andrews is one of the founders of the field of modern clinical neonatology and is well known as a pediatrician , educator, medical historian , and advocate for health edu­cation and the welfare of infants and children both na­tionally and internationally . Among his 14 inventions ate several devices used in child care, including an infant warmer known worldwide as "Billy's box."

In September 1989, Andrews presented "The Children's Bill of Rights" and "Ethical Influences on Care of the Newborn" to the Nobel Conference on Ethics in Medicine in Stockholm , Sweden . In October, he spoke on "Ethical Decisions in Newborn Care" at the Irish and American Pediatric Society in Atlanta .

ALUMNI NEWS

Andrews was born in Alamance Counry in North Carolina. He received the BS degree cum laude from Wake Forest in 1953 and the MD degree from Duke University School of Medicine. He has been chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Louisville since 1969. The list of his medical accom­plishments in the form of awards, membership in professional societies, publications and books is too numerous to print . In 1983, Wake Forest University honored him with a Distinguished Service Citation .

Like all Renaissance men, he never stops creating. He 's already planning a book on women dedicated to the women in his life including his mother , wife , and daughter.

Dispelling a Stereotype

The stereotype of the American Indian - drunk, rebel­lious , and hostile - is one that Dr. Philip May hopes his research will dispel. May (MA '71) , a professor of sociology at the University of New Mexico, spends much of his time on Southwestern reservations studying the lifestyles of uibes including the Pueblo and Navajo. He studies sub­stance abuse , feral alcohol syndrome, and suicide among American Indians.

Though the stereotypical Indian is a heavy drinker who is trouble-prone , statistics indicate this description is in face, atypical , said May, who Hves in Albuquerque with his wife Doreen Garcia May, who is a Laguna Pueblo Indi­an , and their two daughters. Most Indians h~ve very rigid morals when it comes to alcohol ; 65 percent of reservations in the United Stares are under self-imposed prohibition.

" We are crying to bener understand this ftxed and un­varying notion ," May said. " There is so much cross-uibal variation with regard to age and gender that the stereotype does nor serve well ." What's even more unfortunate , he said , is that many Indians believe the stereotype because the message is reinforced by the media .

Statistics often don ' t bear our the stereotype, May said, citing figures on feral alcohol syndrome, in which alcohol ingested by the mother during pregnancy causes harmful effects on the developing baby. May's studies have shown that rates of FAS among Navajo and Pueblo are identical to those of Sweden, France, and the United Stares. Bur the same studies of Apache and Ute uibes show that feral alcohol syndrome effects one our of every 56 babies born .

" More Indians abstain now, bur the problem is those who do drink . They conform to behavioral norms consistent with higher levels of intoxication."

Though many of the Indian uibes spend uibal money to fund research into the area of substance abuse , many of them are nor as open as others to having the research done , he said. " They are open to research that they want conducted by researchers whom they can trust and who can relate to them as equals," said May.

Through his research , May helps uibes develop educa­tional programs that change attitudes toward drugs and al­cohol. ' 'I'm known as a prevention specialist among many uibes ," he said . " I uy to help them formulate new poH­cies to resuucrure their institutions and their behaviors."

He added , "The type of education that I received at Wake Forest was nor only intellectually sound, bur the ethics I learned have served me well. It was the kind of ethical and humane approach I learned from my family , bur they were taken further into an intellectual realm ."

Great Peo The backbone of a great University is

its people. Earle Connelly ('48) was the kind of student and is the kind of volunteer leader who makes Wake Forest great. A native of Morganton, North Carolina, he was one of three brothers to attend Wake Forest. Starting on the old campus in 1944, he was active in several student organizations and clubs and worked full-time in the College Bookstore.

Earle's service to Wake Forest didn' t end with graduation. Although busy building a successful career, he found time for his alma mater, serving several terms on the Alumni Council and as founding chairman of the Parents' Council in 1974. As national president-of the Alumni Association in 1987, he helped establish the Alumni Scholarship Program for students with unique talents. A member of the President's Club since 1972, Connelly has responded with enthusiasm and generosity to his alma mater. For his outstanding leadership, he was awarded the University's Distinguished Service Citation in 1988.

His legacy continued with his four daughters, who grew up to become Wake Forest graduates themselves; two married Wake Forest men. As a student, parent, and alumnus, Connelly has always worked for a greater Wake Forest.

"Wake Forest has meant a great deal to me and my family and has affected our lives in many ways. My service and support are only partial thanks to the school and to the many people who make it an exceptional place to learn ."

Earle Connelly '48

Great Promise Our heritage of academic excellence

remains strong under the leadership of President Hearn. Over 7,000 young men and women applied for 875 spots in the 1989 freshman class. Enrollment remains the same as we seek to attract the brightest minds while protecting our loyalty to our traditional constituency. Commitments to small class size (averaging 25 students) and a student/faculty ratio of 14:1 will continue to foster close relationships between professors and students.

The future is full of promise as we continue to improve the hallmarks of a Wake Forest education. Better compensation for our faculty will attract and retain top teacher/scholars. More scholarships and financial aid will attract bright young students. New programs in ethics, leadership, and foreign study will prepare those students for fulfilling professionalli ves.

Great Performance

We sometimes take for granted the quality of learning that occurs here. But others are noticing. Applications are up 60% over the past six years. U.S. News and World Report ranked Wake Forest the top regional university in the South. USA Today ranked Wake Forest among the top 25 choosiest colleges in the country.

The world's attention was focused on Wake Forest in September 1988 when students brought the first Presidential Debate to campus. The excitement, publicity, and political knowledge gained from that event will benefit Wake Forest for years to come.

But our best performance is still in our classrooms - from the Scales Fine Arts Center to the newly completed Olin Physical Laboratory. There, eager students and devoted teachers come together to explore new worlds.

no TH ANNWERSARY _B_e_a_B_art_ o_f_S_o_m_et_h_in-'-'L-_G_r_ea_t Th~ COLLEGE FUND

The nationally acclaimed success of Wake Forest's College Fund is a sou rce of great strength, enabling the University to plan confidently from yea r to year. From humble beginnings twenty years ago, gifts to the College Fund have grown from $51,900 to over $1 .6 million last year.

You can play a role in ensuring that our past and present accomplishments lead to an even greater future.

Our goal for the 1989-90 year is $1,620,000, and we need the help of all Wake Foresters to meet this challenge.
