When students enter UR as freshmen, they're nervous but eager to begin a new phase of their lives, ready to grow intellectually, spiritually, socially and physically.

Four years later, they're again a little nervous, but this time about leaving the University, not quite sure what's ahead of them. They graduate and a more mature ea: gerness propels them into yet another phase of their lives. They're ready to show off what they've learned. And showing off a few of UR's recently graduated seniors is what we've tried to do in three articles in this issue of the University of Richmond Magazine.

by Evelyn Terry and Dale Hargrove Should there be preferential hiring of women? ... Who is more prone to coronary problems?

How does impressionism interrelate in art, literature and music? ... How do athletes and coaches deal with success and failure?

These are some of the questions answered by recently graduated seniors who participated in this past academic year's University Honors Program. To participate in the program, students, both juniors and seniors, must demonstrate intellectual initiative ancj should have at least a 3.3 cumulative grade-point average, vvith distinction in the major field .

For this article we interviewed seven seniors, based on the general interest of their projects. Also listed below are the names of the other seniors, who completed honors work this year, including the titles of their projects: James Berkowitz (history), "Richmond College in the 1890s"; William Phillips (history), "Amherst County, Virginia in 1850";

Sherry Black (music), "The Kodaly (vocal) Technique and Its Application to Instrumental Technique"; Tim O'Keefe (psychology), "Behavior Modification Techniques Used With Autistic Children"; Kathy Startzman (psychology), "An Overview of Virginia Satir's Method of Family Therapy"; Laura Egerton (psychology), "The Problems in Research Within Juvenile Corrections"; Kim Franco (psychology), "Concept Formation and Development in the Congenitally Blind Child"; Robert Fanelli (biology), "The Biochemical Origin of Amonia in the Blue Crab"; Cheryl Fletcher (biology), "Isolation of Apical Membranes From Gill Cells of the Blue Crab."

"Our society encourages people to strive for success even though research indicates that heart disease is related to occupational stress," says Beth Bennett. She conducted a literature review of the Type A coronary-prone personality for her honors project in psychology.

"The increase in heart disease has paralleled the increase in industrialism," says Beth, "with more developed countries having more heart disease."

Beth describes a person with the Type A coronary-prone personality as being aggressive, achievement-oriented and under constant pressure to meet deadlines- everything is time urgent.

"Recent research suggests that an individual with the Type A coronary-prone personality wants to be in control of the situation at hand. Being in control is

a coping mechanism. If a person can be in control of the situation, this will reduce stress. But some situations are impossible to control, and further stress is caused when the person does not realize the impossibility of control."

With interests in psychology and biology, Beth studied both the psychological and physiologi- ... cal aspects of stress. She says that stress is usually thought to be psychologically related, but it transfers to a physiological problem when it causes heart damage. on learning the theory behind the Beth's plans for the future inlaw.

male is less qualified than the male applicant, some employers today will hire the female because they believe women have experienced discrimination in hiring situations in the past.

Carolyn Nicander says this is wrong. Before she began her honors research in philosophy on preferential hiring of women, she says she had the opposite view.

Carolyn began her research by studying the different theories of distributive justice, such as

egalitarianism (all things are equal) and the concept of desert (deserving reward or punishment). She applied what she learned about distributive justice to solve the problem of preferential hiring. Because there are no cut and dry answers, she found out that she could apply any one of the theories and come up with different answers for different reasons. Part of her research applies only to white male and white female applicants.

"To generalize that all white women have been discriminated against in the past in hiring situations, does not mean all women should be given preferential treatment," says Carolyn. "Even if a woman has been discriminated against in the past, this does not automatically entitle her to preferential treatment in a hiring situa!0a; i~::ep::h~%e~i;~ri~fn~~ st tion against women but that does not mean that every employer should give preference to female applicants, for this would then cause discrimination against white male applicants. Some men may have benefited from past discrimination, but many male applicants may be new to the job market and, therefore, have not received the benefits of female discrimination.

"To assume that every white woman has had a less privileged background than every white male would be false. Employers should not take someone's background into consideration. Persons should be hired on qualifications."

Carolyn concludes: "Any form of sexual discrimination is unjust. The 14th amendment prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex."

Carolyn will enter the U.Va. law school in the fall.

How does impressionism interrelate in art, literature and music?

Incorporating innate creativity and imagination into her honors research for modern foreign languages, Mary Lee Harris was able to accomplish a formidable task: capture the spirit of impressionism.

,-----•-,1,,,.---J As a French major, Mary Lee has always sensed a rapport among the various disciplines of art. Stimulated to further her intuition, she set out to portray through her research project how impressionism came to be expressed and interrelated in art, literature and music.

Rejecting the traditional paper in favor of the more unusual medium, a multimedia show, Mary Lee was able to bombard her audience with impressionistic sounds and images.

Combining slides of impressionistic paintings with impressionistic music and readings from literature, poems and letters from artists allowed her to share her feelings about impressionism with other people.

"My goal was to open the audience's mind," says Mary Lee, "so that each person comes away from the presentation with a different sense of impressionism."

According to Dr. Neil M. Larkin, a UR associate professor of French and director of Mary Lee's research project, the multimedia show was one of the most unusual projects done at the University in the last couple of years.

The project was shown at the University's Learning Resources Center and has been made available to all French classes on campus.

For Mary Lee, the research helped to clarify her own goals about art, literature and music.

She plans eventually to pursue her interest in art in graduate school.

What role does ancient mythology play in modern society?

"Man has a need in today's technological society to emphasize his own past traditions, "says Emily

Rennie. "Past traditions tend to bring balance into secular life."

Emily came to these conclusions through her honors work in religion. She found that the need to place emphasis on past traditions arose from the phenomenon that man does not necessarily find life meaning in current technological achievements.

Her conclusions about today's world are based on observations made by British scholar Joseph Campbell, who studied primitive societies and the role that mythology plays in them.

She found that mythology developed: • As a means of explaining the patterns of nature and the social order of society; • To provide a meaningful explanation of the origin of the world; • To give man a reason to live and a basis to form goals in life; and • To provide man with an explanation of his own unique existence.

"Overall, the project helped me to reinforce lifelong feelings that past traditions are very important," she says.

Emily's interest in religion, as well as psychology, will be continued after graduation. She plans to be a counselor in a religious organization.

What are some of the problems encountered in researching treatment approaches for juvenile delinquents?

After working as a volunteer at a local juvenile corrections center and seeing the same young men come through the center time and

time again, Laura Egerton decided to undertake an honors project in psychology evaluating research techniques involved in supporting different types of treatment approaches in juvenile delinquents.

"It concerned me that there was such a low rate of success in helping juvenile delinquents," Laura says, "so I wanted to examine the types of treatment approaches used with juvenile delinquents."

Her findings indicated that there is no real unity in what treatment approach works best when juvenile delinquents are concerned; and, most often, psychologists rely on their own personal preferences for treatment.

Going a step further, she discovered that the evaluation studies, which undergird the treatment approaches, are extremely ineffective, abusive or totally lacking in general. "Juvenile correction institutions need to be more committed to research evaluation of their own programs," says Laura.

Her project included the reading of current literature involving research into juvenile corrections, and from these readings she concluded that institutional psychologists should strive to stay away from their own personal biases when selecting treatment techniques for juvenile delinquents.

The project made her realize how difficult it is for institutions to come up with good methods of treatment for juvenile delin-

quents. "I had always thought that it was the institutions that were ineffective in treating juvenile delinquents, but, in essence, it is the lack of accurate methods used by researchers, as well as institutional ineffectiveness, that contributes to the problem.

"People involved in research in juvenile corrections need to be more aware of the individualized problems of juvenile delinquents and work to be more flexible in the establishment of treatment approaches."

Laura will be doing graduate study in clinical psychology at the University of Tennessee this fall.

How do athletes and coaches deal with success and failure?

An intense interest in athletics and the desire to become a clinical psychologist were contributing factors in Mike Zacharias' decision to become involved in research centering around personality and behavioral characteristics important to the coach/ athlete relationship.

A psychology major and former pitcher of the UR baseball team, Mike has been involved over the past year in assisting Dr. William E. Walker, associate professor of psychology, with his long-term study involving the different types of coaching behaviors that bring out the "best" in an athlete.

Mike's honors project ties in with this major study and will serve as background information for Dr. Walker's research.

Mike took a close-up look at the personality characteristics of the coach and athlete and how they attributed success and failure in a competitive situation. He found that their attribution of success or failure is affected to some degree by their own selfconcept and internal or external orientation.

"Studies show that a coach or athlete who internalizes success or failure or who carries with him the attitude that he is in control of life's events tends to have a more positive self concept," says Mike. "At the other extreme, the coach/athlete who externalizes success or failure may tend to have a more negative concept of himself for he tends to feel out of control and manipulated by life's events."

Mike looked at two other areas of the coach/athlete relationship, which included: ls there a relationship between the athlete's attribution of success or failure and the coach's attribution of success or failure? If the athlete's attribution of success or failure is influenced by the coach's views, then is this process determined by the personality characteristics of the athlete or coach or by the "compatibility'' of the coach/athlete relationship itself?

In both the above cases, Mike found that some relationship does exist. UR

II and Swift. But since World War II American use of the English language has fallen on hard times, he said. Robb decried the "indistinct gabble" of children who view too much television, and the "indecipherable" and "imprecise" oral and written communications of today's educators, professionals and public officials.

The governor, who has frequently expressed his concern with the quality of higher education, told the graduates that "the mastery of good English-spoken and written-should be a goal so worthy as to require no justification.

"Confusion, frustration and alienation have spread with the development of bad language," Robb said. "People can't understand each other because of this."

Robb's Plea for English Language Gov. Charles S. Robb gave 688 graduates what he humorously called their "last lecture" at this year's Commencement Exercises held May 9 in the Robins Center.

Robb's speech was an eloquent, polysyllabic, at times im-

passioned plea for a return to the dear and concise use of the English language in American public life. He told the graduates he felt that a university like UR, that took the liberal arts seriously,

was the perfect setting for such a plea.

"Our mother tongue is a thing of unsurpassed beauty," the governor said, citing the works of Shakespeare, Marlowe IO

Law Prof Retires Professor Robert I. Stevenson is a Connecticut Yankee who came to the South by way of the Pacific Northwest. He planned to spend a year at the Un iversity of Richmond while his wife, also a lawyer, studied Library Science at Chapel Hill. That was in 1974, however; his one-year stay evolved into an eight-year association with the Law School, from which he is retiring this spring.

He and his wife seem to be contented Richmond residents, "except fo r the summer weather."

Fellow faculty and former students note that Professor Stevenson's main interest here has been his students. Although reti-

cent to discuss is own accomplishments, he is deeply concerned about his students, as prospective lawyers and as human beings. "He has spent countless hours counseling students. He really loves them," says Law Professor Wade Berryhill.

Carol Williams, 1982 Law School graduate and editor of the Law Reviei:v, believes Professor Stevenson is rather unusual in his ability to relate class material, such as consumer protection laws, to what is going on in the world: "His light hearted, humorous approach to teaching makes it easy and fun to learn dry, statutory material such as the Uniform Commercial Code. In his class, one learns a great deal of law and a great deal of liberal arts and humanities."

He won't be retiring from law, Professor Stevenson is quick to point out; now he will just have more time for research and writing. His first project, a treatise on Product Liabilities, is already under contract to a publisher. He hopes also to find more time for the theatre and for his hobby- building model ships. An impetus to his shipbuilding may be the Law School faculty's parting gift, membership in the Mariner's Museum. LB

Speech and Theatre April 19 marked an evening of sweet treats as the Speech Communication an d Theatre Arts Department presented the 15th Annual Speech Dessert. The delectable host for the evening was

Brian S. Wills, who accentuated the event with his fresh humour.

The piece de resistance came at the beginning of the awards as Dr. Jerry Tarver presented the Voice of the University Award to Jeanne Gwathmey, former secretary of the Speech Communication and Theatre Arts Department. She left the University due to illness in June 1981 after working here 17 years. She died on April 24, 1982, just a few davs after the presentation. , Special Awards were given to composer Stewart White, flautist Susan Taylor and follow spot head Ann Tiller for their excellence in "And They Dance Real Slow in Jackson." The Faculty Appreciation Award was given to Box Office Manager Kathleen Taylor.

Last year's theatre award winners had the honor of presenting this year's winners with their awards. The winners were: best cameo performances, Sandra L. Lamphere and Randy Wheeless; best supporting role, Kathleen Wattis and Eric Osbun; best performances in a leading role, Susan A. Toth and Matthew E. Potts; best lighting design, Eric Osbun.

Osbun also received the Leadership Award, and the Best Set Design Award was won bv Maurice C. Hancock, who als0 won the Alton Williams Scholarship. The Honorary Players this year were Dr. Jo McMurtry and Dr. Ray Hilliard.

The speech awards were presented by Dr. Alan Cirlin, assistant professor of speech communication and theatre arts at UR, who also delighted the audience with "Mark Twain Tonight."

Speech award , winners were: best speakers, Sue Kramer, Sally Fosset and Chris Gruber; Coach's Award, Leslie Heath; most outstanding debater, Kim Corbin; individual speaker award, Susanne Enfield; outstanding reader's theatre member, Jennie Wysor; mystery theatre member, Susan A. Toth; most outstanding forensics club member, Gail Lee, who will share the Alton Williams Scholarship.

The evening was filled with a few certainties, a few surprises, and a lot of good cheer. SAT

The University welcomes a new dean of arts and sciences, Dr. F. Sheldon Wettack, and a new alumni director, Jeffrey L. Franklin.

Dr. Wettack, formerly dean for the natural and social sciences at Hope College in Holland, Mich., has been named dean of the faculty of arts and sciences at UR. He will assume his new position August 1.

Dr. Wettack, 44, holds an A.B. degree with distinction and d~partmental honors in physical science from San Jose State College; an M.A. in physical science from San Jose and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of Texas. In addition to his deanship at Hope College, Dr. Wettack has been a professor of chemistry there since 1967, and before that was a teaching associate at the University of Texas.

While a professor at Hope, he was awarded the Teacher-Scholar Award, 1970-75, of the Henrv and Camille Dreyfus Founda'tion.

Dr. Wettack succeeds Dr. R. Gresham Riley as UR dean of arts and sciences. Riley was named president of Colorado College last year.

Jeff Franklin Dr. Wettack, a native of Coffeyville, Kan., is married and has four children.

Jeff Franklin, a 1977 graduate of Richmond College, is the University's new director of alumni and parent programs. He assumed his responsibilities at UR on July 6.

A native of Harrisonburg, Franklin is returning to Virginia and UR from Louisville, Kentucky, where he held management positions with the Spring Meadows Children's Home and where he received his Master of Divinity degree in 1981 from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

While working on his BA, Franklin was a student assistant to UR's director of alumni affairs during his junior and senior years.

Franklin replaces Michael "Mickey" B. Dowdy, R'73, who is now UR's director of annual giving. ET and AG

H&PE "Heavyweights" Retire Retiring this spring from the Department of Health and Physical Education were three faculty members: Augusta Chapman, Dick Humbert, and Fred Hardy.

Leonard McNeal, chairman, H&PE, says they exemplify the kind of faculty who are the backbone of the University as it is to-

day, who have given "unfoi!ing dedication to the University in a sense broader than their jobs."

Leaving her job at an age much too young for retirement, as a "mere sprite," she notes, is Augusta Chapman, associate professor. After 27 years, it will seem strange to her not to be there when Westhampton classes resume in the fall, but Ms. Chapman sees herself not as retiring but as changing directions, finding time for present interests and acquiring new ones.

A Richmond native, she received her undergraduate education at Hollins College and her Master's in Physical Education at Smith College: As a student, she was outstanding in hockey, basketball, and tennis and played competitive hockey until she was 36. During her years at Westhampton, she taught and coached hockey, basketball, tennis, archery, and other sports.

12

Because she feels participation in all facets of university life is so valuable, Ms. Chapman sees both positive and negative sides to a major change that occurred during her time at Westhampton: the introduction of athletic scholarships for women. On one hand, she welcomes opportunities for women in all fields, certainly in sports. On the other hand, she wishes the pressures of competitive athletics allowed ath~ letes greater participation in campus life and allowed more women to participate in sports. Increases in the number of games and practices and decreases in the number of teams have worked against this.

Contact with the students is what Ms. Chapman will miss most in her new lifestyle. Hmvever, she will enjoy her home in Urbanna near the water, her golf, tennis, and volunteer work. She also looks forward to having more time for travel, a lifelong interest. Perhaps she may soon attempt a new "sport''~turtleback riding!

Before his senior year in Suffolk High School, Dick Humbert, professor of H&PE and former chairman, had never played tackle football. Still, he told his father: "Pop, if you'll let me piny tackle football this year, I'll get a scholarship to college and graduate." Given the okav, he more than fulfilled his prOmise, show-

ing the determination typical of his approach to life. He did win a scholarship to UR, where he lettered in four sports; his favorite sport, he recalls, was the "one in season.''

Humbert is a trim, affable man, but in his intelligent b!ue eyes is the intensity that made him a formidable competitor all his life, able to say "I never quit at anything"- including professional football, during which his nose was broken eleven times!

He played with the Philadelphia Eagles, both before and after World ll, and was named "Rookie of the Year" in 1941. His teammates called him "Professor" because he spent the off-season earning advanced degrees, including a Master's at UR; his thesis was titled: "Developing a Degree Program in Physical Educa~ tion at UR." Bringing such a degree to the University was one of his accomplishments during his 27 years as football and basketball coach and as chairman. As a professional athlete and coach, he was quite unusual in his ability to wear two hats-as an educator and as an athlete.

The move from Millhiser Gym to the Robins Center provided students access to many more athletic facilities. Having anticipated the surge in interest in racquet sports, Humbert was instrumental in seeing that the new center had many racquetball and handball courts. Now, UR students have better facilities than students at much larger schools.

Dick Humbert looks forward to having greater control over his time, to play golf and tennis and travel. He is especially enthusiastic about spending more time at his 200 year-old farmhouse in New Hampshire.

Fred Hardy Fred Hardy has not stopped working at UR at all; he retired from his teaching position last year but was rehired as Head Track Coach. He is at practice every day and at meets on weekends. Nor does he want to retire; his enthusiasm- for his athletes, for the University community, for

running-is unlimited.

Since his high school days in Richmond, Fred Hardy has spent most of his time around tracks.

He was captain of the track team at UNC and a nationally ranked middle-distance runner. When he came to UR, 32 years ago, there was no real track program; there was only one runner!

Now the track team is nationally ranked in three areas: cross-country, indoor, and outdoor. Recently, UR won a middle-distance NCAA Championship, and overall, the team ranks thirteenth. These are achievements far beyond the reach of

most schools this size, but Hardy has devoted his life to developing an outstanding track program here and has done it by specializing in a few events and excelling in those.

"When people see the big, red 'R' on our athletes' jerseys, they know it stands for 'Richmond'," Hardy says. Track events give UR a great deal of national exposure, contributing to its positive image.

A number of student athletes have come here from such far away places as England, Ireland, and Kenya. Kip Keino, the internationally known Kenyan runner and longtime friend of Hardy's, sent the first Kenyan runner here, and since then a number of world-class competitors have been attracted to UR. Energetic, good-humored, but forceful, with an infectious laugh, Hardy is justifiably proud of the track program, but he is not self-aggrandizing. Still, at 65 there's no need to be modest, he notes: "This is no time for me to start telling you we' re not good.

Weare."

And Fred Hardy intends to keep right on seeing that the track team excels. "I'd like to go with my track shoes on," he laughs. "Right at the end of an exciting 1500 meter race won by UR." LB

by John W. Outland "It's a crummy situation. A reluctant, sometimes cynical administration is prodded toward vital negotiations by a propaganda campaign that, instead of clarifying, distorts a major public policy question . On both sides we're getting cheated of what we deserve: serious negotiations and

serious debate."

So concluded David Broder in a recent column condemning both sides in what might be called "the 'new' nuclear weapons debate." His essential point was that on the most critical issue of our time, the problem of how to reduce the risks of nuclear war, we are simultaneously lacking effective leadership from the White House and thÂŁ responsible presentation of alternatives by those in opposition.

Broder's criticism is perhaps a little loo severe. Indeed what is encouraging, and what suggests that the cup is half full, is that the nuclear weapons debate is again back on the front page, and not just relegated lo the editorial page; that lawyers, doctors, and the man on the street, and not just academicians, generals, and high salaried commentators are getting involved; and that ideas that five years ago would have been disregarded (nuclear "freezes," no first use pledges) are receiving serious attention. Perhaps the level of debate is a little emotional, but these arc survival issues that are being discussed, and emotion, as opposed to apathy, is at least an energizing force.

Broder is correct in suggesting that emotion is not enough. What is needed is a public willing lo educate itself on the complexities surrounding nuclear weapons 14

and their use, to be skeptical of simple solulions tu the problems these complexities raise, and to hold our politicians' feet to the fire- to demand that reasonable alternatives be considered and that communications with the Soviets be serious and in good faith. ln short, the public needs to make it good politics for our politicians lo act like statesmen. With respect to the nuclear weapons debate, as in must other areas of public policy, we will tend lo gel what we deserve The question of the utility and desirability of weapons (and the use of force generally) as tools of policy has been debated as long as men have divided themselves into, and conducted relations among, separate social groups. The normal and traditional distinctions which have been made are that weapons may have a psychological or threatening function, often for deterrence purposes, or that they may be used physically either to defend particular objects or values or, in an offensive manner, to help acquire certain objectives through outright coercion. The general question that strategists, both civilian and military, have been wrestling with for the last 37 years is whether, and if so how, these traditional distinctions and functions have been outmoded or altered by the introduction of nuclear weapons, weapons whose potential destructive capability puts severe limitations on the rational calculation of costs and benefits and means and ends when it comes to the use of force for foreign policy purposes.

As we have moved into the 198(}s, several factors have given this debate a new impetus. One has been the danger of Uhorizontal proliferation," that is, the spread of nuclear capability to countries which have not previously had such capability (what strategists also call the "Nth country problem"). The obvious concern is whether such countries will act responsibly if and when they achieve nuclear weapons, with "responsible behav!or" being defined as self-deterred bchav-

A second area causing anxiety has been the much publicized build up of Soviet forces and material, a build up which has called into question Americ,1n perceptions of nuclear superiority and even parity. The predictable response, especially under the Reagan Administration, has been to reinvigorate the "vertical" (U.S. v. S.U.) dimension of the arms race and, as a partial consequence, to discourage the chances for mea ningful arms limitations, both vertically and horizontally. What makes this situation especially serious, and what represen ts a third concern, is that we appear to have entered into a new generation of sophisticated weapons systems (Cruise and MX missiles, killer satellites, etc.) whose characteristics, such as size and mobility, make them easily concealable and thus very difficult to verify under any potential arms control agreement.

A fourth and final factor which irifluences the tenor of the. existing debate is the gradual shift in American strategy from a policy of mutual assured destruction (MAD), which put heavy reliance on the psychological deterrent capacity of our second strike c:apability, to a policy of "more flexible respo nse," where the actual physical use of nuclear weapons is contemplated as a viable defensive and even offensive option.

Public opinion implies that the time has come to get serious on the issue of arms control.

Needless to say the rejuvenated arms race and the shift toward a nuclear war fighting strategy have formed the focal points for the 1980s version of the nuclear weapons debate. Nevertheless, the fundamental differences in perspective among the advocates involved are the same as they were in the 1950s and 1960s. The debaters still break down into five reasonably distinct schools of thought whose views can be summarized as follows:* 1. The Pacifist/Disarmers who have come to the conclusion that the United States had no logical alternative but to abandon, unilaterally ff necessary, the idea of warfare in general and nuclear weapons in particular; 2. The Minimum Deterrence Reductionists who agree that there may be some minimal deterrent value to nuclear weapons but that our submarine fleet is sufficient • This summary draws upon, simplifies, -and updates somewhat the distinctions made back in the 1960s by Robert A. Levine, Tl1e Arms Debate, Cambridge, Mass ., Harvard University Press, 196.3; and William R. Van Cleave, "The Nuclear Weapons Debate," U.S. Nava{ Institute Proceedings, Vo!. 92, No. 5 (May 1966), pp.

to meet the need and that in other areas we must drastically reduce our nuclear stockpiles; 3. The Strategists who believe that the best way to p revent war is to prepare for it, and who argue among themselves over what "mix" or weapons systems, target-

An obvious concern is whether countries which have not previously had nuclear weapons will act re~ sponsibly when they achieve them , ing policy, and negotiating tactics would constitute the optimum deterrence and defense strategy; 4. The i;o-called "Forward Strategists" who are more preoccupied with the threat of communism than with the dangers posed by nuclear weapons and who advocate "superiority" in our dealings with what is perceived to be an implacable Soviet opponent; 5. The Extreme Anti-Commun ist Ideologues (i.e.

"Better Dead than Red" School) who carry their anti-communist fervor lo the point of advocating, under the proper circumstances, the offensive use of nuclear weapons for preventive war purposes.

It is probably fair lo say that public opinion generally rejects the two extremes represented by the Pacifist/Disarmers and the Preventive War Ideologues. Indeed, public opinion, at least until recently, has probably resembled the traditional bell curve with the majority of views being distributed between the moderate Reductionist position and that of the not-too-belligerent Forward Strategist. Interestingly, the resu lts of the last Presidential election seem to suggest that, as of November 1980, the curve had been skewed somewhat to the right, as Reagan's anticommunist rhetoric and h is demand for a military build up coincided with what was apparently a broadly held perception that the U.S. had fallen behind in our competition with the Soviets. In the last several months, however, pbpular sentiments seem to have been shifting back to the left and with a greater momentum than even the most ard ent peace advocates had reason to expect. Indeed, as U.S. policy moved in the general direction of the Forward Strategist position, a reaction set in, initially in Europe and now throughout much of the United States, which suggests that public opinion may soon be considerably at odds with official policy. In fact, President Reagan's Eureka College commencement address, which ca lls for major mutual reductions in nuclear forces, gives evidence that the message is getting through a,nd that U.S. policy may be shi fting again back toward the middle. Indeed, the leftward drift of what appears lo be a more educated and mobilized public opinion with respect to the dangers of nuclear weapons implies that the lime has come to get serious on the issue of arms control, that the lime for slatemanship is at hand.

Each year the University's National Alumni Council presents awards to four distinguished alumni for their outstanding contributions to the professions, tl1e community and the University. The 1981 recipients were: Otis L. Brown, R '56; Sen. M. Melville Long, L 10,¡ Helen Her rink Fix, W'43; Porter Vaughan, R '40.

After a brilliant baseball career at UR under the tutelage of Coach Mac Pitt back in the !ate '30s, Porter Vaughan (R'40) went on to the big leagues. He played with the Philadelphia Athletics and the Toronto Maple Leafs until his baseball career ended with a shoulder injury, and his Richmond real estate career began.

He turned out to be as good at real estate as he was at baseball. For these past many years he has been a highly respected and prominent leader in this field. In 1970 he was named Realtor of the Year by the Virginia Association of Realtors. That same year Vaughan was elected to a four-year term on the University's Board of Trustees to represent the alumni.

16

As a trustee, Vaughan was regarded by his fellow board members as a man of very sound judgment, a man who knew how to keep issues in perspective; a gentle man, interested in people, courteous, easy-going and a good listener.

After his term on the Board of Trustees, he served on the Board of Associates from 1975-79.

More recently, Vaughan was a leader in establishing the Mac Pitt Scholarship, which offers full board and tuition for a year to an outstanding student baseball player.

Over the years, Porter Vaughan has given his support and leadership to many other worthwhile causes in the community. These include the YMCA, the Boys' Club, the Big Brother movement, the Kiwanis and the Red Cross. In 1967 he helped to found Willow Oaks Country Club where, that same year, he sank a hole-in-one with a 5 iron on a l 70yard drive.

But the University has always come first among Porter Vaughan's "good causes." He has done everything a loyal and successful alumnus can do. He has given with consistent and open-handed generosity; he has helped to raise money; he has served as a leader in our alumni association; he has worked, defended, supported, and he and his wife Elizabeth have travelled more miles than any other alumni on University tours to all parts of the globe.

Back in 1973, when the "Our Time in History" campaign was just off the ground, Claiborne Robins told Porter Vaughan; "You have not only demonstrated your belief in the future of our Univer~ity, you have set a pace which will inspire 0thPorter Vaughan continues to believe and inspire.

Otis L. Brown has served both the Commonwealth of Virginia and his alma mater with a combination of loyalty and strong moral conviction; sound administrative leadership and unflagging energy in the pursuit of excellence.

In 1966, ten years after he graduated from the University of Richmond, Brown was named director of the Department of Welfare and Institutions for the Commonwealth. He had previously served with distinction as county executive for Albemarle County. ¡ At 32, he was the youngest department head in the first Godwin administration. During his six years in that arduous, sometimes thankless but al~ays highly responsible position, Otis Brown still found time to visit his alma mater on special occasions. Addressing an alumni gathering, he described with a mixture of compassion and irony what it was like to be the top man in a state department that was designed to help what he called "the downtrodden, sick, lame and lazy, the dejected and rejected people of our society." He said everybody disliked the program: the prison inmates resented their part in it; the welfare recipients thought they weren't getting enough help; the juvenile delinquents couldn't stand their program; the courts disliked all the programs and, most of all, the public disliked them. But he would point out that that was the nature of a public welfare program.

Nobody was ever satisfied. He used to say that his was an ideal job to be in "because nobody could determine whether you had been a success, and none can say for sure whether you had been a failure."

Governor Holton apparently did not share these uncertainties. Brown was named to I [olton's Cabinet in 1972 as Secretary for Human Resources.

After serving in the Cabinet through the Hol ton and second Godwin administrations, Brown went into business for himself. He is now director of a management consultant firm, The Professional ,:: Group, Inc., where he directs and manages various consulting projects involving both private and public organizations and agencies.

There is hardly a volunteer job on campus that Otis Brown hasn't done. Being a strong family man, he turned the University into an extension of his family: he and his wife Fran have been members of the Lake Society; their son Jeff grew up enjoying

Spider sports, and now Jeff is a student at UR, where he combines skill on the football field with a high grade point average.

Otis Brown, with his urban planning expertise, has become UR's resident expert on the subject of football stadia, an issue that tends to crop up at the University with some regularity. I [e has helped the University to raise money and given generously himself. He served as a trustee from 1976 to 1980 and is now on the Board of Associates. Back in the early '70s he headed an alumni committee that compiled a report on alumni opinion about the University's future directions. He helped to restructure the National Alumni Council. As an adjunct faculty m~mber, he lectures on administration and political science.

Helen Herrink Fix has been a member of the Ohio House of Representatives since 1974. She is a Republican, and the first woman from Hamilton County, Ohio, to be elected to the State House.

17

After graduating with the Westhampton College Class of '43, and being elected to Phi Beta Kappa, Helen Fix, who grew up in Richmond, found herself a job as a reporter on The Richmond TimesDispatch. She recalls that the late Joe Nettles, who was the Journalism f?epartment then, helped h~r land this first job. It mcluded covering local politics.

After learning her trade locally, she spent several years working on two other large metropolitan dailies, and then served for 14 years as editor of a group of suburban weeklies in Cincinnati.

She and her husband, John, live in Amberley Village, a suburb of Cincinnati, and in 1967 Mrs. Fix was elected to the first of four terms on the Amberly Village Council. She did her job so well that the voters of the 26th District sent her on to serve in the Ohio State House, and she's still there.

Rep. Fix's legislative achievements, many of them benefitting the women of Ohio, have been acclaimed by her constituents and by her colleagues in the State House. One high government official notes that Helen Fix "enjoys the esteem of the entire Cincinnati community." She has performed with distinction on the Education, State Government, Public Utilities and Elections committees. The Governor of Ohio recently signed into law her bill effecting sweeping changes in the state's paternity laws-a bill she considers her major legislative achievement so far. She was elected Minority Whip by her peers for the past session of the Ohio legislature.

Among the honors Rep. Fix has accumulated in her career as journalist and lawmaker arc: • Honorary life membership in the Hamilton County Police Association for her "courageous reporting in the interest of law enforcement"; • A Distinguished Alumnae Award from Westhampton College in 1978; • Nomination by the Cincinnati Enquirer as one of the Top Ten Outstanding Women of the Year, 1981.

State Senator M. Melville Long, who graduated from The T. C. Williams School of Law in 1910, went on to pursue a long and successful career in private law practice in his native Southwest Virginia. He has been practicing law in the town of St. Paul, in Wise County, over a period of 62 years.

During that period he spent two years (194042) representing the people of his district in the Virginia House of Delegates. After that, he spent 28 years in the Senate-from 1944 until his retirement in 1972. In addition, Senator Long has managed to be a devoted family man, a farmer, a banker, and an uncommonly loyal supporter of the University of Richmond.

In 1970 the Universitv awarded him an honorary Doctor of Laws degre~, to recognize his consistent loyalty and support. In addition to direct philanthropy, Senator Long served as honorary chairman of the 1979 Law School Capital Campaign.

18

The prestige of his leadership was a definite factor in the success of that campaign.

The senator is a true friend to the whole University, not just the Law School, as evidenced by his service as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1940 to 1969. Since then he has been a Trustee Emeritus.

In 1973, when the M.M. Long wing of the Law School was dedicated, the keynote speaker for the occasion, Virginia Supreme Court Justice Harry L. Carrico, acknowledged that it was largely through Senator Long's support that the badly needed new wing had become a reality.

The Justice

went on to give a word-picture of Long: "I [e is a devoted family man," Carrico said, "and takes justifiable pride in the fact that his son (Mason M. Long Jr., R'40) is a member of the Virginia Judiciary. Senator Long was one of the founders of the First Baptist Church of St. Paul, and served as a deacon and taught an adult Sunday school class for more than 50 years. He is a former member of the Judicial Council of Virginia, where I had the pleasure of serving with him, and I will always remember the quiet dignity of his manner and the valuable contribution of his wisdom."

While in the Senate, Long became chairman of the powerful Courts of Justice committee. In that position, he was looked upon as a friend of needed reform but a tough foe of questionable change. He ruled the committee, in the words of one observer, "with tough-minded compassion."

On his retirement from the Senate, a political reporter commented: "Senator Long has been a wonder to his colleagues, who were impressed by the incisiveness of his mind and the health of his body despite his advanced years. With a heavy mountain twang he often cut through the clutter of committee hearings to ask the tough, meaningful questions of a witness." UR

of my life. On the football field, I think I accomplished a great deal.

Off the field, I think I have become a much more complete person than I was four years ago.

That is a very satisfying feeling.

As for the education I received at Richmond, I'm as proud of that as anything else I have ever accomplished. I realized a long time ago that football would not last forever. I know I will not be carrying the football or running pass patterns the rest of my life. I have always been told that football is nice to play, and I take it seriously, but I have always understood the importance of a good education. My parents taught me that long ago, and I am very happy that I listened.

So much has happened to me over the last four years, and happened so quickly, that it's hard for me to get my thoughts in orde r.

My senior season was unlike any year of my life. It still has not registered with me that come next year I'll be wearing a Los Angeles Rams uniform. When I was a little boy, I dreamed that one day I would play in the NFL; but it was only a young boy's dream. Now that it has come true, I can't find the words.

My days at the University of Richmond were among the best

I do not really know what will happen in LA. It was a tremendous honor to be the firstround pick of the RAMS. What I do know for sure is that I can't and won't ever have a big head.

If I ever did get one, I would disappoint myself, my family and my friends. I could not do that. I don't ever want to do that.

When you leave Kenya fo r America, you don't have any idea what to expect. You have heard so much but you know so little.

You can only wonder what you will find.

I thought I knew a good deal about the University of Richmond before I came because of the Kenyans who had been here before.

Still, I did not know exactly what to expect. All I knew for sure was that things were going to be different.

When I did come over, I did know three things for sure: I knew I was going to have the chance to study, to run and lo see another countrv, to see America. I was a little frightened at first, but not much so. Other Kenyans had helped me get ready for the trip. What fear I did have disappeared quickly. Everyone was so nice to me, so polite to me. Everyone made me feel so comfortable that I quickly got used to America.

Something that surprised me more than anything about America is the way that people joke here. You joke a lot here, and we don't do that at home. It is just not done. Now, when l do go home, I will crack jokes, especially with people who have been to America. It will be fun.

My four years here went well. Everything went well.

When I do go back to Kenya I will miss Richmond and America.

It is my second home, but I must go home to Kenya. You have to go home.

When I reflect back on the last four years of my life and involvement in baseball at the Uni20

versity of Richmond, several things come to mind.

First and foremost, the people with whom I have associated stand out. I've made friends that I hope to keep for life. Over the years, my teammates and I have grown very close. This growth process has been through winning and losing, through celebration and a sharing of remorse, and through independent and communal insights.

For myself, I have enjoyed the last four years, both on and off the baseball field. l feel that I've received an excellent education, which has been my priority in college.

The particulars that stand out as positive experiences began the day when Coach Gilman first signed me to a grant-in-aid for baseball. My freshman year started off well as my first outing was a success, but I injured my arm and was out for about a month.

When I returned, I again pitched well and at the end of the year, I felt I had contributed to the team.

My sophomore year was my most successful. I really felt that our team had an opportunity to go beyond the ECAC tournament that year, but again I injured my

arm and several other key players were injured as well. That year I shutout both UV A and Catholic by 6-0 scores.

Throughout my junior year I struggled. My arm still had not totally recovered and another injury forced me out of action for a while and to play at less than 100 percent when I came back. I finished the year strong, though, as I shutout Towson State.

Finally in my senior year, I felt that I pitched well throughout the year, but overall we as a team did not play well against the better ball clubs (most of which I faced). Consequently as a whole, it was a disappointing year, the biggest disappointment coming when we found out that for the first time in five years we would not go to a post-season tournament.

As I look back, I think both the team and I came a long way.

Personally, I knew that I grew each year as a player, and I hoped I grew each year as a person. Over the last four years, I faced some situations on and off the court which I had never been faced with before. For the most part, I think I came through them all okay.

As for the team, 1982 was a year I don't think any of us will ever forget. We went furt her than almost anyone ever thought possible, and if we just had a little more strength left at the end, there is no telling what we could have done.

Coach Eric O'Neill's 1982 tennis squad won the AIA W Division II National Championship in Greeley, Colorado in late May of this year. (Other members of the championship squad were Margie Hernandez, a rising junior, and Sharon Dunsing, a rising senior.) Last year O'Neill's squad finished second in the Nationals.

In a few concise words, Beth Seubert summed up the feelings of her teammates over the past four years: "l will never forget winning the State Tournament when we were all freshmen. That was the turning point. It gave us a name, and we had to live up to our name. Individual winning percentage means nothing to me nor to anyone else on the team.

All we care about is how many matches we win as a team. I think that is why we've been successful."
