I was particularly pleased to see the article "Voluntarism: A Two Way Sb'eet" in the summer issue of the University of Richmond Magazine. This is a favorite subject of mine.

William 8. Craham, R' 43 Richmond, Va.

I enjoyed reading your cover story on voluntarism in the summer issue of the University of Richmond Magazine.

At a time when the long trend toward greater Government involvement in matters of private as well ai; public concern appears at an end, volunteer efforts aimed at meeting community and individual needs are taking on added imp.:irtance. That is -Surely as it should be. Left in control of their own resources and free to act

science, Americans historically have =~~:!Js:~nerously to meet perYour article described several

Here, as in communities around the country, voluntarism will be the key to alleviating socjaj ills and improving: the quality of life in the fu. ture.

I commend you on your timely article.

Thank you for expanding the sometime limited view of volunteers and for dispelling some of the many myths about who volunteers are and what they do.

The Governor's Office of Citizen Affairs in North Carolina was established by Governor James B. Hunt Jr. because he believes that persons giv• ing of themselves to help their communities and their neighbors is in the finest tradition o( our nation. We air plaud all who support this view and encourage all to do more to involve themselves in worthwhile service.

Best wishes in all of your activities in support of higher education and your university.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the ex• cdlent article on voluntarism which appeared in your summer 1981 is:$ue of the UniVttTSity of Richmond Magazine. Without question, the United Way of Greater Richmond could not exist without volunteers, and we particularly appreciated your highlight• ing Dr. lrby Brown for his tremendous contributions to our organization over the past several years. The V<ilunteer Spa:ial, a two-hour primetime volunteer recruitment tool which is produced annually, could not have been poo:sible without Dr.

Gabriella, Mark, Raidah; Tim, Safia and Phil . six of the 30 foreign students currently enrolled at the University of Richmond; chosen more or less randomly for interviews, so that the UR magazine could focus in on the kinds of young women and men attracted to our campus from other countries and cultures, and on how things are going for them here.

They linger in the mind of an interviewer, these six: the incredible variety of their backgrounds; the ways they talk and think and dream about the future. They are as different from each other as they are different from their young American contemporaries.

And yet, when the conversations are over, one is struck with a quality they share.

I guess the best word for it is guts. Phil might prefer the British "pluck." The opposite of apathy.

The ability to pitch cheerfully into a strange culture (sometimes a strange language too) and do well academically and keep a sense of ba lance and hang on to dreams despite loneliness and large obstacles.

"Crikey, I was homesick at first!" Phil Norgate admitted with a grin. He's 20, came to UR from England last January on a track scholarship and is majoring in history and religion. "Pop used to call me every second week. I really looked forward to those calls."

Phil heard about UR through his old school friend Jo White, now a track star at Westhampton College. He finished high school at 16 in Banstead, Surrey, and had been working there for four years, first as an engineering clerk with the local Electric Council, then as a sales trainee. He had kept up his running with a nearby dub, the Epsom and Ewell Harriers. Phil's an 800-meter man, number six on UR's cross country team. Now he says he's into "quality" rather than "quantity" in his running.

Phil is a committed Christian from an English Baptist family.

He and his "Pop" have long, strong ties with the Boys' Bri-

gade, a British organization like the Boy Scouts, but with a more overtly Christian thrust. Even though he "gets a lot" out of the interdenominational chapel services on campus, he disarmingly adds, "You know, I miss the old ladies, the little kids, the kind of fellowship of all ages you really need as a Christian." He has been working with young people at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Midlothian since December.

After being out of school so long, Phil had to struggle ha'rd at first with the rigors of academic discipline. He's doing well now and is full of praise for the history and religion faculty, both as teachers and as friendly counselors. His hope is to return to England after graduation and earn another degree at a university there.

Safia Baggia, working towards a master's in biology,

spent her early years in Rangoon, Burma, but her family is Indian, and they speak Gujrati, an Indian language, in their home. Because of political upheavals, Safia's family now lives in London. She is the oldest of six children.

The Burmese Nationalist government took over her father's business in Rangoon in 1962, and the family moved for a time to India and then to Pakistan before settling in London. Because of political situations and frequent moves, there was a seven-year period in Safia's young Hfe when she had no schooling. So when the family came lo London when Safic~ was 18, she'd had no high school. She entered an English state school in a class of 14-yearo\ds. Safia's large, eloquent brown eyes, as well as a certain intensity in her soft voice, reflect the anxieties of those belated high school years, when she "encountered racial prejudice among both teachers and students. 1 was looked upon contemptuously as a member of the immigrant community."

She was 22 when she finished high school. For two years she worked as a library clerk in London. "Then I just threw in my dice," she said in a lighter voice, "and decided to try to get a college education in America ... It has been a hard struggle."

Her search turned up the fact that Bridgewater College in Virginia- a small school in a relatively warm place---0ffered fouryear scholarships to foreign students. Safia applied and was accepted. Bridgewater was a happy experience for the young Indian girl who had moved from pillar to post since leaving Burma.

She found herself warmly accepted and spent four years at Bridgewater earning a degree in general science.

And now here she is al UR, hoping that by the time she earns her master's in biology she will have been admitted to ;.i medical school. She rents a room near the campus, has a Saturday job at the Boatwright Library, and sti!Hinds the winters uncomfortably cold.

Because of visa restrictions, she cannot legally hold a job off campus.

Raidah Ziadeh (pronounced Ray-da Zee-addy) from Saudi Arabia was only 17 when she came here in 1979, relieved to be

accepted on "early decision." She has relatives living in Northern Virginia.

A pro at the game of fitting in wherever she finds herself, Raidah jokes, "Mom tells me that now I've got a Southern accent."

In fact, though her native language is Arabic, she speaks unaccented English with an engaging smattering of current American slang expressions like "It blows me away!" Her background is complex, like so many of the foreign students here: Raidah's family are Palestinian Arabs, with deep roots in that mainly Arab section of Israel, the West Bank of the Jordan, where her parents' relatives have lived for generations in Ramallah outside Jerusalem.

As a young man, Raidah's father left what she calls "the stresses and strains of life in an occupied country" to work for the huge Arabian-American Oil Company (ARAMCO) in Saudi Arabia. He returned to Palestine to get married, then brought his wife back to Saudi where they both now work for ARAMCO. Raidah is the eldest of their four daughters. She is a Christian, and for that reason cannot be a Saudi citizen. You have to be a Muslim to be a citizen. So she feels like a guest in Saudi, and her family's "home" will always be Palestine, she says. Her excellent English was acquired at the ARAMCO school. She also spent two years at a boarding school in England.

Like Safia, Raidah hopes to become a physician and is majoring in chemistry. She would like

to attend medical school in the Northeastern part of this country, where her adventurous, freedomloving spirit feels most at home.

She has found her niche at UR, Raidah says thoughtfully. "But I'll be honest- I'm not into the upper-middle-class preppy scene.

I don't mind it. It's just not me."

A member of the University Choir, she has found her friends among the musical set and in the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship.

Coming from the 12astern coast of Saudi with its desert climate- bone dry and very hotRaidah enjoys Virginia novelities like snow and mountains. Invited home by a college friend who lives in Stuart's Draft, she liked the rural Virginia atmosphere very much. She is equally intrigued by the "split culture" of Saudi Arabia, where much of her life has been spent in the "suburban" atmosphere of the 30,000strong ARAMCO community of Dhahran. It flourishes side by side with the timeless exotic confusion of the Arab marketplace.

Mark Shabinsky, a junior in The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business, has the distinction of being one of only a handful of Canadian high school football quarterbacks chosen to play college football in America. Mark came here from Ottawa ln 1979

on a football scholarship, hopes to get his degree in business next year, and then return to Canada to join his father's real estate development firm.

Life as an American college football player has demanded major adaptation for Mark. "Canadians play a different brand of football-or perhaps I should say it's the same game under different rules," he explained. "The Canadians use 12 men instead of 11; the field is bigger, the basic style is different."

UR Coach Steve Wright sums up Mark's achievement: "Mentally and physically, quarterbacks have the most challenging position among the players. They're asked to do more. Mark has adapted very well mentally as well as physically to the position.

At UR we ask our quarterbacks to run almost as much as they pass, and this has been a real challenge for Mark.

"He has a stable temperament and a good understanding of social adaptation as well as being able to handle a new form of football. He's very sharp mentally, and he's a pleasure to work

with. He's doing an excellent job in his business school studies.

These student athletes are asked to give 30 to 32 hours a week to football during the season. That's a lot of time."

Mark agrees. "The self-discipline is tough. You feel pretty much mentally and physically drained. I don't know many people except other football players.

The game pretty well fills up your life." He has, however, become friends with a Richmond family, the Lapkins, Jewish like himself, and enjoys time spent with them. And he attends services at B'Nai Shalom congregation.

Gabriella Liem's native country is the Netherlands. But because of her father's position with a Dutch-Australian chemical firm, she lived in Indonesia for three years and in Singapore for four years. In Singapore, at age 15, she was sent to a British

school and had to switch from being educated in her native Dutch language to having all her classes in English. The result, as she humorously explains, "is that I am frustrated by language trouble because I still tend to think in Dutch, and when I am speaking English I have to go all around to explain what I wish to say." Nevertheless, she gets her message across beautifully. Her parents spend part of their time in the Netherlands but are currently renting a house in Singapore.

Gabriella is ambitious in an idealistic and serious way: Her older sister is finishing up studies at the Free University of Amsterdam to earn a Ph.D. in non-Western sociology, and Gabriella shares her sister's desire to bring Western skills and knowledge to help the people of Third World countries in Asia and South America.

In Gabriella's case, it is medical skills she wants to contribute.

She would like to become a surgeon. She came here in 1980, is majoring in chemistry and biology and hopes to enter medical school, possibly in America. She has relatives living near Washington, and chose UR from Barron's Guide as a good place for premed studies.

Gabriella is president of the campus International Relations Club, sings in the University Choir and hopes to go sky diving soon ("though one does not tell one's parents of such things," she adds mischievously.)

This serious-minded young girl finds her fellow students friendly and often highly competitive, which makes her thoughtful. "I think you only need to

compete with yourself," she suggests. "I think the whole atmosphere of the classroom would be better if people were not so competitive. I do not think an intense sense of competition is a right attitude towards life."

Her idealistic attitude has resulted in her suggesting social service projects for the International Relations Club, as well as "just socializing."

Culture shock hit Mark (Tim) Smith fairly hard when he first came to UR from Bermuda as a freshman in '79. But being the affable, easy going fellow that he is, he soon came to terms with a different lifestyle. Now he is obviously enjoying himself and working very hard (no contradiction in Tim's case) as a junior in the business school.

Tim came to the U.S. from a "very British" small island- a mile wide by 20 miles longwhere he had spent his whole life thus far. Bermuda is 700 miles off the east coast of the U.S., population about 55,000; 60 percent black, the rest mainly of British origin, like Tim's family. Integrated schools. Bermuda is the last surviving British colony, with a governor appointed by the Queen for a four-year term. It's a prosperous, sunny, relaxed place, Tim says; main industry, tourism.

Lots of international businesses

have headquarters there for tax purposes. Tim's father, mother, sister and brother are all involved in the family business-importing office equipment. Tim plans to join them when he graduates.

He attended a "very British" school in Bermuda "with uniforms and all that. As you know, the British have a tradition of being very civilized, very proper."

That was where the culture shock came in. Tim found the values and behavior of a good many American college students quite different from anything he was used to. He's too courteous to say words like "uncivilized," so he just hedges around with "different values, different behavior."

For example, it was hard getting used to cars being such a big thing in young people's lives. "I don't even know how to drive, I couldn't care less," Tim says.

"Most people our age ride mopeds at home. I like to walk."

Bermudians are very outdoorsy people, and Tim plays a fairly serious game of tennis, but sticks with intramurals because he needs the time to study. He loves swimming and volleyball but finds the local brand of Rugby "a bit too much of a bash, less a game of skill than what I'm used to." To this young man from a gentler culture, American football remains a total mystery.

"Doesn't appeal at all."

Tim's English has mellowed into a pleasant mixture of British and American, reflecting his adaptability.

"I'm here to learn as much as I possibly can," he says firmly.

"I'm a hard worker, and I'm most definitely getting a good education here." UR

New 'Jax

Law

The Economic Recovery Act of 1981 as adopted by the Reagan administration is highly complex and has left many of us wondering how it affects us. Two UR law professors, J. Rodney Johnson and Nina Murphy, answer some of our questions.

Q1

•

The new tax law has been billed as favoring the very rich and corporations. Is this

sol The Economic Recovery Act of 1981 benefits anyone who pays taxes. The major beneficiaries of the new tax law are the very rich and corporations.

Q2

•

Does the law offer any real benefits f?r the great ma1onty of ordinary people who work for their livings and try to invest and save for their old age?

Yes.

Q3•

What are the benefits?

The major benefits of the new tax law for wage earners are (1) lower tax rates for the next three tax years (1982, 1983, 1984) and indexing thereafter (see question #7); (2) elimination of the "marriage penalty" (see question #10); (3) deduction of charitable contributions by taxpayers who do not itemize deductions (see question #17); (4) extended time to purchase a new residence and defer recognition of gain on the sale of the old residence-prior law was 18 months, new law permits two years; (5) increase in gain excluded on sale of residence by taxpayers who are 55 years of age or older (see question #12); (6) increase in credit for dependent care expenses (see

question #8); (7) the creation of so-called AU-Savers Certificates (see question #15); and {8) increased availability of Individual Retirement Accounts (see question #13) .

Q4.

When do they become effective?

Are capital gains now more desirable than they were?

Yes. Since the top tax bracket has been lowered from 70% to 50%, the effective tax rate on long-term capital gains has been reduced from 28% to 20%. The highest effective tax rate on capital gains is arrived at by multiplying the highest tax rate, i.e. 50% times 40%, since only 40% of capital gains are taxed at all.

Q6

•

Doesn't the reduction in the maximum individual tax rate to 50% make capital gains less attractive than fonnerly?

The answer to the question depends on the individual taxpayer's situation. As discussed in the answer to question 5, the lowering of the maximum individual tax rate had the effect of lowering the effective tax rate in capital gains from 28% (70% x 40%) to 20% {50% X 40%).

Q7•

Q8•=~:~

Has the new law done anything to ease the plight of working parDivorced or widowed par-

The above benefits have various effective dates. (1) The tax rate reductions became effective October 1, 1981. (2) The "marriage penalty" is eliminated as of 1982. {3) The new rule on charitable contributions is effective for contributions made in 1982. (4) The hvo-year replacement time on sale of a residence is effective for sales after July 20, 1981. (5) The increased exdu~ion for gain applies to sales of principal residences after July 20, 1981. (6) The increased credit for dependent expenses is for expenses paid in 1982. (7) The All-Savers Certificates became available in October 1981. (8) The increased availability of Individual Retirement Accounts becomes effective in 1982.

Q5.

ments without any increase in real wages. The first three years of the new tax law will reduce the tax brackets. Thereafter, beginning in 1985, the tax brackets will be adjusted annually to take account of the increase in the Consumer Price Index. Indexing will be helpful to eliminate "bracket creep."

Wha t is indexing and will it be helpful?

Indexing means that the tax rate schedules will be revised annually to prevent "bracket creep."

Bracket creep occurs when an individual's salary is increased just enough to keep up with the inflation rate. The salary increase will put the individual in a higher tax bracket which results in higher tax pay-

Yes. The new law has increased the credit allowable for expenses for household and dependent care services necessary for gainful employment. Prior law allowed a credit equal to 20% of expenses up to a maximum credit of $800 with more than one dependent. The new law has a three-tiered credit with an increased credit for all taxpayers, but particularly for low income taxpayers. First, taxpayers with income of $10,000 or less will get a credit of 30% of expenses. Second, the credit will be reduced by 1% for every $2,000 of income above $10,000.

Third, the credit will remain at 20% for taxpayers with income over $28,000. The maximum amount of expenses the percent credit will apply to has been increased from $2,000 to $2,400 for one dependent, and from $4,000 to $4,800 for more than one.

Q9

Do these changes help parents with ~hildre~ in c~l!ege, who face • ever-increasing tuition costs?

No, except to the extent that the parents have more after-tax dollars due to the above outlined benefits. (See reference to tuition exclusion in answer to question #24.)

Q10.

What is all the furor about the marriage penalty?

The "marriage penalty" means that hvo married people with about equal incomes will pay more tax than hvo single people with the same incomes.

The new law alleviates this "penalty," by means of a deduction. A married couple with two incomes (both spouses working) who files a joint return will be able to deduct 5% in tax year 1982 and 10% thereafter of whichever is less-$30,000 or the amount of the lower earning spouse's earned income. Therefore, the maximum deduction in 1982 is $1,500 and in 1983 and thereafter $3,000.

Q11.

Are there corresponding benefits for single people and for couples where only one spouse has income?

For many years, single people complained about the advantages married people had in the joint return. Congress addressed that problem a number of years ago by putting in effect a new tax rate for single people. The joint return has always

provided a benefit for married couples where only one spouse has income. The combination of the lowering of the tax rate for single people and the increase in the number of two-wage earner married couples, is what led to the "marriage penalty" in the first place.

Q1 2

Does the new law haoe any special provisions which would be of interest to the • elderly in modest financ ial circumstances?

The only new benefit that affects the elderly is that when an individual who has attained the age of 55 sells his/her principal residence, the first $125,000 of gain on the sale can be excluded from gross income. This is an increase from $100,000 under prior law.

Q1 3• =~:

There has been a lot of d;scussion of Individual Retire1

:h~;,c:;:sc~:x:t~ ~::, and why are they desirable?

IRAs were created in 1974 to allow employees v,.,ho were not covered by a pension plan to in effect make deductible contributions to their own pension account. The deduction could be taken whether or not an individual itemized deductions. The deduction was limited to $1,500 or 15% of compensation whichever was less. One may set up an IRA with a bank, savings and loan, or a credit union. As the money deposited in an IRA is not taxed when earned, the money is taxable when withdrawn upon retirement. This later taxation is a benefit to most individuals since the money will be taxed at a lower rate when income falls.

Q1 4

•

If one already has an IRA, does the new law change what can be done with it?

Yes, and now the IRA is available to many more taxpayers. The new law provides that even employees who are covered by a pension plan can establish their own IRA. In addition, the deductible contributions to an IRA, new or existing, have been increased to whichever is smaller-$2,000 or 100% of the individual's annual compensation.

The limits on contribution to an IRA apply individually to a husband and wife. Therefore, the maximum amount deductible on a joint return is $4,000.

An individual with a non-working spouse is limited to a $2,000 deduction unless a spousal IRA is established.

Q15

Savings i11stit11tio11s have been advertising the benefits

• ':£:}J-;:ev:;:s;,e:~c:~!id one want one?

An individual can earn up to $1,000 interest

($2,000 on a joint return) on special savings certificates tax-free. These special savings certificates are one year certificates available for purchase between October 1, 1981, and December 31, 1982. The minimum certificate is $500. Since the interest up to $1,000 (total, not annual) is tax-exempt, the interest rate is lower than the current interest rate. (The rate changes and is set at 70% of the average investment yield for Treasury bills at the most recent auction.)

In order to determine if you can benefit from these certificates you must compare what you would earn on taxable certificates and how much tax would be paid on that amount with the tax-free earnings in All-Savers Certificates. These certificates are not beneficial to everyone.

Q1 6 Q1 7

Can one benefit from both an All-Savers Certificate and an • lRA at the same time?

Yes .

D;d the new law make any cha11ges ill the tax benefits

• ~~1:::a~reb:~!11/;~~:~o::~i?sg it likely to encourage small gifts to colleges but discourage big ones?

Yes to both questions. Prior to the new law, individuals who did not itemize deductions could not deduct charitable contributions. Now, non-itemizers can deduct charitable contributions. In 1982 and 1983, 25% of the first $100 of charitable contributions up to a maximum of 525 can be deducted by non-itemizers. For 1984, the rule is 25% of the first $300; for 1985, 50% of contributions can be deducted with no maximum amount, and for 1986, 100% of all contributions may be deducted. The only maximum amount in 1985 and 1986 is the general rule of 50% of adjusted gross income currently in effect. This new deduction ends in 1986.

Small gifts should be increased as they will now lead to a tax benefit. This new rule will not affect big gifts, but the overall rate reductions will affect big gifts. As the maximum rate is reduced from 70% to 50%, the tax savings from charitable contributions will diminish.

Q1 8

Are any of. the so-called business prov1sw11s of the new • law of i11terest to i,,divid11als, say if you practice a profession or operate a business of your onm?

Yes. The most important change in the new law for businesses is an Accelerated Cost Recovery System in place of the old depreciation and the election to expense certain depreciable business assets.

There are additional benefits to small businesses, such as the reduction in the corporate tax rate, an increase in the accumulated earnings credit, an increase in the maximum number of tax-option (so-

called Subchapter S) shareholders, and changes in accounting for inventory.

Q1 9

Do any of these p,ov;s;ons offer tax savings specifically • for the salaried employee, who seems to bear the major brnnt of our tax system?

No. The only benefits for the salaried employee are those discussed in answers to preceding questions.

Q20

What majM changes J;d the law make in the estate and • gift tax laws?

Three major changes are (1) the creation of an "unlimited marital deduction," i.e. the total elimination of taxes upon most transfers between married persons, regardless of whether these transfers occur during lifetime or at death; (2) the increase in each person's "exemption equivalent" (the amount of property that one can give away to anyone during lifetime or at death) from its present level of $175,625 to $600,000; and (3) the decrease in the maximum rate of taxation from the present 70% (on estates over $5,000,000) to 50% (on estates over $2,500,000).

The benefit of these changes will seem obvious to most persons upon a casual reading. However, these apparently obvious benefits may in fact prove to be illusory for a number of persons as one notes that (1) the unlimited marital deduction deals only with Act I of a two act play- taxes will still have to be paid when the larger estate passes from the surviving spouse to the children; (2) the increase in the exemption equivalent is not immediate-it is phased in over a period of years ('82 ""' $225,000, '83 = $275,000, '84 = $325,000, '85 = $400,000, '86 = $500,000 and '87 = $600,000), and thus it may not even keep pace with the combination of appreciation and inflation; and (3) not only is the rate reduction phased in over a four-year period, the bottom rate (which is the one that will affect every taxable estate) will actually increase from 32% to 37% when the new exemption equivalent is fully phased in in 1987.

Q21

In view of the new law, should everyone have their • wills reviewed?

It is estimated that no more than 3% of Americans currently have taxable estates. Certainly these persons need to have their estate plans reviewed. Those in the remaining 97% should not conclude from this that their documents have no need for review. State laws concerning wills are changing from year to year and the only way any person can be sure of the continued integrity of his or her will is to have it reviewed periodically by a wills' lawyer. One source has suggested that even a "simple" will should be professionally reviewed on at least a five-year cycle.

Q22

•

Might the new law necessitate major changes bi one's estate plan?

Yes, for those persons of substantial wealth it will be imperative that they restructure their wills and trusts in order to obtain optimum tax advantage under the new law. This does not mean that they must sacrifice their present goals, however, and in a number of instances it will mean that they can now obtain goals that were impossible of attainment under prior law. An illustration of this is the opportunity to provide for a second spouse by way of a life estate, which will qualify for the unlimited marital deduction and also guarantee the ultimate receipt of the estate by the person's children.

Q23

ls it still a good idea for a husband and wife to consider holding some property, • such as their house and savings account, as joint tenants with right of survivorship?

From a purely tax standpoint, the orthodox advice has always been, and continues to be, to avoid significant holdings in survivorship property.

One must recognize that there are personal considerations that enter into the decision concerning the family residence and bank accounts, and ordinarily the holding of such assets by husband and wife in a survivorship form will not present any tax problems. Beyond this, however, the couple with substantial assets should not make any significant acquisitions in survivorship form without first obtaining professional advice.

Q24

How much has the new Law increased the amount which one can give to one's chit• dren each year without having to pay any tax on the gifts? Does this apply to gifts to anyone-whether or not related to the giver?

Under present law every person has an unlimited number of $3,000 annual exclusions. This means that one can give up to this amount to any number of persons each year, whether related or not, without having to pay any gift taxes. A married couple can combine their annual exclusions (even though the property comes from only one of them) and thus give an unlimited number of $6,000 gifts every year to different persons.

The new law increases the annual exclusion to $10,000 which will allow the couple a $20,000 exclusion. In addition, the new law adds (1) a tuition exclusion that eliminates the gift tax on amounts paid to an educational organization for the tuition (not room and board, books, etc.) of any person, and (2) a medical exclusion that eliminates the gift tax on amounts paid to a provider of health care for medical services rendered to the donee.

II From Huck Finn to the Sea John Seelye, a visiting scholar from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, gave two

lectures while on campus in September. He first compared that quintessential American hero, Huckleberry Finn, to Don Quixote, Rip Van Winkle and Henry

David Thoreau; and inn latter lecture, he examined the image of the ocean as portrayed by poets, novelists and TV performers.

Mark Twain's novel, The True Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is less realistic than is ordinarily assumed, according to Seelye, but the reader is convinced because

the events are compellingly conveyed.

The book is a series of ruses, disguises, a web of deceitful tricks. The entire downriver jour-

ney seems an authentic adventure-in contrast to Tom Sawyer's childish games-but it proves in the end just as spurious. Jim, who has been fleeing from slavery, finds out that he has been free all along. Huck, who has been fleeing from his father, discovers that his father is already dead. Twain's classic is sly, teasingly clever; the serious excursion "collapses like a house of cards."

In his next lecture, Seelye said that the sea is for Byron a projection of the self's own depths, for Cooper and Dana a

10

vast sports arena, for Melville, a dreadful terra incognita, for Poe a psychological maelstrom, for Verne the perfect science fiction setting, a romantic backdrop for technological wonders, for John Masefield a yachtsman's daydream, for Jacques Cousteau a marine Disneyland, and for Peter Benchley a realm of simple-minded retribution. The survey sequence showed an almost steady decline, a gradual loss of mystery and resonance. Commercial exploitation, Seelye argued, has led to trivialization. He hoped that in the future as we look to the sea we can recapture our earlier awe.

Seelye's lectures were sponsored by the University's Epsilon Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. SB

Auto Industry Seeks Solutions Richard L. Terrell, recently retired vice chairman of the board of General Motors, was the second executive-in-residence for UR's E. Claiborne Robins School of Business. He was on campus from Sept. 29 through Oct. 22.

Terrell, who was associated with General Motors for more than 40 years, interacted with students and faculty in a variety of settings while on campus.

In his keynote address, Terrell said: "Business is the cornerstone of American society.

For years this country has served as a standard against which other societies have been measured.

Now, however, we face the possibility of losing this eminent place in society unless some very significant trends are reversed."

Terrell is concerned over the decline in the U.S. rate of production, and he gave several reasons for this decline: declining capital investment, declining investments in innovative technology and government over-regulation.

"As for the country's auto industry," Terrell said, "it has more problems than the American economy as a whole ... but we're looking for solutions." Solutions will come from more exploration and the reviewing of regulations, according to Terrell.

"GM's toughest competition is not with domestic producers or with most foreign car makers," said Terrell, "It is with the Japanese." In 1980, for the first time, Japan was the number one auto producing nation.

In an attempt to regain some of their old customers, U.S. automakers are examining Japanese automaking practices with a view to utilizing some of them. Using robots in factories, converting to computer controlled paint booths and using electronic technology to complete final plant inspections are a few practices U.S. factories will adopt.

In closing, Terrell stressed that our challenge for the '80s is to get our economy back on track so this country will not lose its leadership among nations. JTZ

More Than Dusty Archives A student designing a seal for The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business wants to research the history of the seal, using original

source materials. Another student, comparing the life of a UR student in 1981 and 1881, wants to read the diaries from 100 years earlier. A third student, studying Henrietta Hall Shuck, first female Baptist missionary to China, wants to read her correspondence with her husband, then a poor student at the Virginia Baptist Seminary.

What institution on the UR campus can meet such diverse needs? It is the Virginia Baptist Historical Society (VBHS), that Gothic wing of Boatwright Library which many of us pass without noticing. But it is a remarkable place, replete with historical treasures.

In fact, according to Frederick J. Anderson, executive director, the VBHS has "the finest collection of early Baptist materials in the South" and a fine collection of historical materials in general. A researcher coming to Richmond to study colonial or antebellum Virginia would visit three places: the Virginia State Library, the Virginia Historical Society, and the VBHS. Each year it attracts many researchers to its 12,000 catalogued books, church record diaries, manuscripts, documents and artifacts.

Since its inception in 1876, the Society, though completely autonomous, has been closely related to UR, having been housed in some area of the University since 1884. It has always housed many records and memorabilia related to the UR's history; this fall, it became the official repository for all such documents. Besides providing the proper atmosphere for archival materials-including storage in add-free boxes,

microfilm recording, and humidity-controlled temperatures- the Society is reponsible for cataloguing and processing the materials.

A major goal is to make these primary source materials readily available for research.

Making the entire collection more visible and promoting use of the library is Fred Anderson's prime focus. Crediting his predecessors with a "fantastic job" of collection, preservation and scholarship, Anderson states: "My whole thrust is to make the collection more than dusty archives. It is to be a collection that is used, researched and appreciated."

That history lives is Fred Anderson's message and the message of the VBHS. Even the building itself is a living reminder, dedicated to the 40 Baptist ministers imprisoned in colonial Virginia for "heretical preaching." LB

Chapel Guild The Cannon Memorial Chapel, which has played a central role in the life of the University since it was dedicated in 1929, now has its own special "support group," the Chapel Guild.

The guild was founded in November under the leadership of Martha Tiller, wife of trustee and former rector F. Carlyle Tiller. The group has 27 members, and its main objectives are

interior and exterior beautification of the chapel, along with support of the UR chaplaincy and the Chapel program in general.

The steering committee responsible for organizing the guild consisted of Mrs. Max H . Goodloe, Mrs . L. Howard Jenkins, Mrs. E. Claiborne Robins Jr. and Mrs. Tiller. Other members include Mrs. E. Bruce Heilman, wife of UR's president, and Mrs. John N. Dalton, wife of Virginia's governor.

The Cannon Chapel, used regularly for interdenominational services for students, as well as for services for Catholic students, is also used for concerts and recitals and for academic assemblies such as the annual Phi Beta Kappa initiation ceremony and various honors convocations. It also is a popular place for weddings, particularly of graduates who met while students at UR. AG

Townhouses For Students Construction of townhouse apartments for student housing on campus began in November and is scheduled for completion in late summer of 1982.

Sixty units are being built at an estimated cost of $2.5 million and will provide living space for 240 men and women students, according to Louis W. Moelchert, UR vice president for business and finance.

11

"These new units," Moelchert said, "will provide the additional housing required to meet the University's current enrollment mainly of junior and senior undergraduates."

The desire for versatility of usage influenced University officials to opt for the townhouse apartment solution to UR's student housing needs rather than to choose the conventional residence hall plan, which would have been more costly and less flexible.

Being constructed are twostory units with identical floor plans and space for four students each, with the exception of four one-story units designed for handicapped students. Each unit will be completely furnished.

The site for the apartment complex is a wooded campus area near River Road and the UR Special Programs Building (f_ormer Gwathmey Building). Parking will be available within the townhouse area, to which access will be provided over existing campus streets.

Architectural consultants for the traditionally designed, allbrick townhouses are Marcellus Wright, Cox and Smith. HeindlEvans, Inc. are the general contractors. JTZ

An Old-Fashioned Love Story Margaret Powell, a Westhampton coed, and Elmer Armstrong, a baseball player visiting the UR campus with his team from the University of Pennsylvania, first met on a blind date on Easter Sunday 1927. Four years later, Qn Aug. 29, 1931, Miss Powell, W'27, and Armstrong became the first couple ever married in the University's Cannon Chapel.

This past summer, the Armstrongs, who now live in Cranston, R.l., returned to Cannon Chapel, exactly 50 years after their wedding day, to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary with about SO close friends and relatives, including their own son and three daughters.

A short ceremony was held in the chapel with their son, Elmer, from Boulder, Colo., conducting the service. The Armstrongs were preceded down the aisle by three members of the original wedding party and their spouses.

During the service, the couple's son reminded them that

e married dl!_ring the Great Depression, " ... but you endured with warmth and laughter through faith in yourself and each other and through love that gave freely and asked nothing in return."

After the service, the guests gathered at UR's Gottwald Science Center to view a surprise showing of a film produced by the Armstrongs' son from family album photographs.

A special moment of the day came when Armstrong said that he was grateful to God for letting him go to the University of Pennsylvania, getting him a place on the school baseball team and sending him to Richmond on a Sunday when Margaret Powell had the afternoon free. ET
