Fall 2007

From China to Chapel Hill

Steve Exum

I am excited and honored to be the new dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Over the last year, in applying for and moving into this position, I have been overwhelmed by the extent to which folks on the inside and outside of our institution love Carolina. Nothing emphasized this more than watching from my office in South Building as the new students took their ceremonial drinks from the Old Well.

But as much as I love to reminisce about our storied Holden Thorp past, I’m mindful that Carolina is about the future. Our students are increasingly aware that they will make their mark in the world in jobs and industries that don’t exist yet. This change has resulted from several factors: the rise of the knowledge economy, the speed of information transfer, and, of course, globalization. Two weeks after I arrived in the dean’s office, I headed to Hong Kong, Kunming and Beijing to visit our study abroad students, colleagues and partners in the fastest-growing area of our global economy. It was an eye-opener in so many ways.

I saw firsthand how complicated it is to operate academic programs thousands of miles from Chapel Hill. I was impressed at the skill shown by our study abroad team and faculty colleagues, and the enthusiasm of our students, as they negotiated the many challenges associated with studying and working in another land.

In this issue of the magazine, you’ll see how the College is responding to the increasing importance of Asia, where at least 500 of our alumni live and work and thousands more do business. Although faculty in the College have been studying the region for about three decades, student interest has soared in recent years. Asian studies classes are often overenrolled and this year, thanks to expanded scholarships and programs, we sent more students to Asia than ever before. Our new joint undergraduate degree program with the National University of Singapore allows students from UNC and NUS to graduate with a joint degree from Carolina and one of the top-ranked international universities in the world.

I’m grateful to Madeline Levine for all that she accomplished during her year as interim dean (see page 25). She and many others have helped me understand the enormous opportunities and responsibilities we face as the largest academic program at the nation’s first public university.

Many of Madeline’s achievements, and others described in this issue, would not be possible without the support of our alumni and friends, who, I am delighted to announce, have lifted the College past our $350 million Carolina First campaign goal. But we’re not going to stop there. As the official campaign comes to a close Dec. 31, we’ll continue to raise money for distinguished professorships and faculty resources, the new FedEx Global Education Center and the second phase of the Carolina Physical Science Complex.

We salute our alumni and friends in our annual Honor Roll in this issue. Thank you all for your ongoing support here in Chapel Hill — and beyond.

Holden Thorp, Dean

Documentary filmmaker wins top prize

• A documentary film by communication studies professor Gorham “Hap” Kindem won a top prize at the 2007 Swansea Bay Film Festival in Wales. “Pushing the Limits: Ski for Light USA” won the Best American Documentary Award. The film focuses on inspiring disabled American skiers and Paralympians.

Kindem’s music video, “Talk Straight,” was nominated for the Best Public/ Community Service Video Award at the same festival. The film helps to support Carolina for Kibera, which sponsors a youth soccer and HIV/AIDs awareness program in one of the worst slums in Kenya. The program was co-founded by UNC alumnus Rye Barcott ’01.

Kindem has another award-winning film about athletes facing special challenges.

“Pushing the Limits: Norway’s Ridderrenn” focuses on Norwegian and Danish Paralympic skiing champions. It won the International Documentary Short Award at the Beverly Hills Hi-Def Film Festival and was shown at the Aarhus Festival of Independent Arts International Film in Denmark. •

Student scholars soar

Four students in the College have received national distinguished scholarships.

Lena Hyatt

Stephanie Jones

Garegin Papoian, assistant

professor of chemistry, won a $300,000 Beckman Young Investigators Award.

The national award, given to 16 recipients by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation of Irvine, Calif., supports promising young faculty members in the early stages of their careers in the chemical and life sciences.

Papoian will receive $300,000 over three years to support his study of the physical properties of chromatin, the complex of DNA and protein found inside the nuclei of cells.

One of the functions of chromatin is to package DNA into a smaller volume to fit in the cell. The major proteins involved in chromatin are called histone proteins. They act as spools around which DNA winds, and they play a role in gene regulation. The mechanisms of chromatin formation and dynamics are not fully understood, but misregulation of chromatin may result in human genetic diseases and cancer.

Papoian, who has been at UNC since 2004, received a Ph.D. from Cornell University. •

Three students received Barry M. Goldwater Scholarships, and another student received his second Morris K. Udall Undergraduate Scholarship.

Lena Hyatt of Asheville, Stephanie Jones of Cary and Jonathan Toledo of Sylva are new Goldwater Scholars. The one- and two-year scholarships are given to sophomores and juniors with a strong commitment to careers in mathematics, natural sciences or engineering. Hyatt, a chemistry and biology major, works at a campus genetics lab, examining DNA repair in fruit flies. She conducted an independent research project in Costa Rica, comparing relative concentrations of chlorophyll between fruiting and non-fruiting plants.

“Ultimately, I want to help people, but the best way for me to save the world is different than most people’s ideas,” Hyatt said. “My way is in a lab, searching for novel information about aberrant DNA repair that might one day lead to cures for cancer.”

Jones, a chemistry major, first worked at a campus lab in 2003, as a high school student, and has continued to log time as an undergraduate. Her research focuses in part on stem cell differentiation. She also works part-time at an internship with Liquidia Technologies, a materials science company based in Research Triangle Park and founded by researchers at Carolina and NC State. Jones plans to become a university professor, conducting interdisciplinary research involving biological chemistry and materials science.

“I want to throw myself into a research project in which I must learn anything needed to solve the problem,” she said.

Toledo, a physics major with minors in chemistry and mathematics, is an undergraduate research assistant in the applied mathematics department. His research is supported by a William P. Smallwood Undergraduate Research Fellowship. The results of a research modeling project that he worked on recently were accepted for publication in Physical Review E, a journal of statistical, nonlinear and soft matter physics.

Toledo plans to seek a position at a university where he can conduct biophysics research. “It is the challenges of science and the process of discovery that truly bring me happiness,” he said.

For the second year in a row, Nitin Sekar, a biology and environmental science major, received a Udall Scholarship for students interested in careers in environmental, health care or public policy.

The award supports tuition, books, room and board for his senior year.

Sekar hopes to become a scientist who works to protect the environment while also helping the poor. He intends to pursue a doctoral degree related to animal ecology and conservation and a master’s degree in public administration with a focus on environmental science and policy. •

hree professors in the College of Arts and Sciences have won prestigious research fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.

• Jeff Whetstone, assistant professor of art, has been photographing and writing about the human relationship to the land since 1990. In 1991, he traveled the migrant farm worker stream throughout the Southeastern United States and in the Rio Grande Valley in Mexico to document the life of a migrant farm worker family. He was awarded a Lyndhurst Foundation Young Career Prize for this work. He served for five years as an artist-in-residence at Appalshop, a media arts center in eastern Kentucky.

Whetstone will use his award to “travel North America, in between the towns and on the outer rims of the cities to photograph the nascent wilderness all around us,” he wrote.

“I want to photograph the New Wilderness, a wilderness that includes us. Natural parks and nature preserves do not interest me, as they are tokens of some bygone era or totems to our frontier past.”

Jason Lieb

• William Ferris, the Joel R. Williamson Eminent Professor of History, is a widely recognized scholar, author and filmmaker focusing on black music and folklore and Southern culture. He is also senior associate director of the Center for the Study of the American South.

The former chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities has written or edited 10 books, created 15 documentary films, and interviewed thousands of musicians, ranging from the famous (B.B. King) to the unrecognized (Parchman Penitentiary inmates working in the fields). He is researching a book and multimedia project, “Mississippi Blues: Voices and Roots,” that will feature musicians and their worlds that he photographed, recorded and filmed in the 1960s. He will juxtapose their lives and music with post-Hurricane Katrina musicians. He will also consider how water-related tragedies are powerful backdrops for the blues.

• Bob Goldstein, associate professor of biology, will use his fellowship for a research sabbatical in Cambridge, England, where he will conduct experiments with stem cells at The Wellcome Trust and Cancer Research UK Gurdon Institute.

Goldstein studies how cells function by manipulating them by hand. In 1995, he discovered that certain cells can divide in a direction that is instructed by neighboring cells.

One study raised the possibility that some cancers and other diseases occur when the proteins, called “Wnts,” fail to polarize cells properly. Mutations in such proteins have been linked to certain types of cancer in humans, including colon cancer. •

Biologist receives $7.3 million for genome research • Biologist Jason Lieb has received a $7.3 million, four-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support genomic research involving UNC and seven other institutions.

Lieb’s group is studying how and where proteins interact with the genome and how these interactions affect the biology of living cells.

Lieb is an assistant professor of biology in the College who holds a joint appointment at the Carolina Center for Genome Sciences.

He was one of 10 scientists awarded grants totaling $57 million from the NIH’s National Human Genome Research Institute as part of an effort to identify all functional elements in the genomes of the fruit fly and the roundworm. The fruit fly and roundworm are “model” organisms whose genomes are compact but share many similarities with the genomes of humans. Scientists rely on these smaller, model organisms to identify common genes, proteins and processes that underlie human medical conditions.

The DNA sequence information in the human genome is read and interpreted by proteins, and without interactions between proteins and DNA, life would not exist, Lieb said.

“In our project, we aim to identify specific stretches of DNA and DNAassociated proteins that together control how genes are turned on and off at the right place and time, and how chromosomes are replicated and segregated during cell divisions,” he said. • Carolina Arts & Sciences • Fall 2007 • 5

About 582 scholars from Asia studied at Carolina during the 2006-07 year, and 732 students from the region were enrolled in courses on campus during the fall 2006 term, according to the latest data from International Students and Scholars Services. About 8 percent of Carolina undergraduates and 6.2 percent of graduate students identify themselves as Asian-Americans.

At least 500 College alumni live and work in Asia, and untold thousands are doing business there every year.

Americans have long embraced Asian cultures and cuisines. Many practice Buddhism, yoga, tai chi and feng-shui, and can’t seem to get enough sushi, curry and satay. But are we ready for the region’s growing economic prowess and the challenges and opportunities it presents?

It was his first study abroad experience.

The air pollution was a shock. So was his 75-90 minute commute each way to and from his internship at IT United, a China-based outsourcing company providing Internettechnology services for Dell and other clients.

He was one of 20 Carolina undergraduates with a minor in entrepreneurship studies in the College of Arts and Sciences who had internships this past summer in the Chinese capital — at the heart of the world’s fastest growing economy.

The internships are required by the entrepreneurship curriculum in the department of economics, part of the Carolina Entrepreneurial Initiative (CEI).

“The U.S. is going to have to look to China, India and all of Asia as critical partners in its economic future,” Hewison said. “This means more people need to equip themselves with increased knowledge, experience and language to deal certainly with the growing importance of the region, and the challenges and opportunities it presents.”

Students need to know more about Asia today if they want to succeed in the world tomorrow, Gold said. Faculty and academic initiatives across the College are helping them do just that.

The study of Asia is not new to the College of Arts and Sciences curriculum. Our faculty and students began studying the region about 30 years ago, but the program has grown significantly.

Today there are about 22 faculty and lecturers in the Asian studies department alone, where language instruction is expanding to meet increasing demand.

Students can graduate with a degree or an academic minor in Asian studies, which may be especially helpful to those who wish to work in the international arena.

In addition, Carolina students have won more of the highly competitive Luce Scholarships, funded by the Henry Luce Foundation for study and work in East and Southeast Asia, than any other university except for Harvard.

Carolina’s most innovative new global initiative may be the College’s unique joint undergraduate degree program with the National University of Singapore. NUS is considered the best university in Southeast Asia and is rated among the top 25 best universities in the world by the Times of London, said Peter Coclanis, UNC associate provost for international affairs who has taught at NUS. The program allows Carolina students in selected fields (economics, English, geography, history and political science) to spend as much as two years in Asia, while Tom McElwee also studied in Thailand in 2006.

iz Carter had never been abroad when she entered Carolina in 2004. She began studying Chinese, became intrigued with Asia, and, by the end of her first year, spent a summer studying in Singapore.

The next year she spent six months in Beijing, and following her third year she spent a summer in Tokyo and Beijing again.

How did a student with no significant travel experience manage three consecutive years of intense study in faraway lands? She dreamed big, worked hard and ended up winning three study abroad scholarships — all made possible by private gifts to the College.

The first opportunity was the Carolina Southeast Asia Summer program, a sevenweek program based at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Designed especially for students at the end of their first year, the program provides full scholarships for up to 25 students each summer. It is supported by a major gift to the College from alumni Alston Gardner ’77 and Barbara Lee ’88.

“The farthest I’d ever been before that was Colorado,” Carter recalls.

“NUS is a world-class university,” she added. “The professors are topnotch and the Southeast Asia Program is without par. Singapore is the meeting point of so many cultures, among them

Indian, Chinese and Malay.”

Carter got hooked and became an Asian studies major eager for more study abroad experiences.

As a Jones Apparel Group Honors Asian Studies Fellow, Carter spent the spring and summer of her junior year in Beijing, doing full-immersion Chinese language study followed by an internship at a non-profit psychological counseling center for victims of domestic violence and a summer camp for children of single-parent households.

Carter’s fellowship, designed to encourage Chinese language proficiency, was supported by a major gift to the College from the Jones Apparel Group in New York City. Alumnus Peter Boneparth ’80, president and CEO of the company, stressed the “tremendous need in business and government for employees who are proficient in Mandarin Chinese in particular.”

During Carter’s language study in Beijing, she had to sign a pledge to only speak Chinese, all day every day.

“It was pretty difficult at first. I remembered when I first landed and we went to the opening banquet, I asked for a cup of handsome (shuai) instead of a cup of water (shui). That kind of embarrassment is what drives you to learn more quickly.”

“I felt my Chinese improved exponentially, especially when I was using it constantly for my job,” she said. “I also grew as a person. Living in another country for half a year made me

their counterparts study in Chapel Hill.

When students graduate at the end of four years, they will have a diploma from both Carolina and NUS, an eyepopping credential for anyone planning an international career.

Carolina students in the joint UNC-NUS program will actually be able to take more courses in their academic major than they could at UNC alone.

“It’s like studying at the master’s level,” said John Stewart, UNC professor of economics. “It’s entirely different from our world, and that’s what makes it exciting. The economic changes taking place in the region are staggering, and this chance to see it firsthand is outstanding.”

much more open minded and patient.”

While in Beijing, Carter seized an opportunity that rarely comes to an undergraduate. Her Chinese teacher, Jiajing Liu, was writing an English language textbook and asked Carter to be a co-author. Their book, Youth Culture: Fifty Topics for English Conversation, was published this past summer.

Carter’s third scholarship was the Burch Fellowship, which gives six UNC students a year up to $6,000 each to pursue their academic passions wherever they lead. (Half of this year’s winners chose to study in Asia; one went to Thailand and another split his time between Vietnam and Taiwan.)

The fellowship is supported by a gift to the College from alumnus Lucius E. Burch III ’63.

(His gift also supports the Burch Field Research Seminars, UNC faculty-led field experiences for undergraduates, which take place in the U.S. and abroad).

Carter used her Burch fellowship to study Chinese women, but this time in Tokyo.

She wanted to find out if they were treated differently in Japan than in their own culture.

She is producing a short documentary on her findings, as part of her senior honors thesis. The project was inspired by Jan Bardsley, a UNC Asian studies professor who has produced a film based on a collection of interviews with women in Japan.

Carter is already looking ahead to graduating in May with honors, then heading back to Beijing to work for awhile and attend the 2008 Olympics. After that? She hopes to pursue a graduate degree and an academic career, in East Asian language and culture focusing on Chinese literature and the role of women. •

Students in the “Slavery and Place” class of historian Heather Williams (center, foreground) visited Boone Hall in Charleston, where they examined artifacts from slave cabins, watched a film about the lives of slaves, walked through a smokehouse and toured the main plantation home.

12 • Fall 2007 • Carolina Arts & Sciences

istory professor Heather Williams wanted students to really experience history, to step back in time and stand in a slave cabin, hold plantation owners’ journals in their hands, examine archaeological accounts of artifacts found at slave sites, read a slave narrative and find ads for runaway slaves in old newspapers.

But she made it clear on the first day of her course, “Slavery and Place: The South Carolina Case,” that the special out-of-class component — a three-day trip to Charleston — was not a vacation. Students would be required to keep travel journals, discuss their observations at evening meetings, give a critical analysis about historical sites they would be visiting, and create educational brochures as owners of the fictional Critical Tourism Company.

“When I do research, I go to historical sites, because it really changes how you look at history,” Williams said. “I don’t want us to be tourists in Charleston. I want us to be scholars — taking our knowledge with us and then gaining more knowledge.”

Williams’ class was part of Carolina’s new academic mini-term called Maymester, which offers a variety of full-credit courses combined with field experiences in a three-week, intensive time period between the end of spring semester and the start of summer school. The idea for Maymester grew out of the University’s 2006 Quality Enhancement Plan. “Slavery and Place” received financial support from UNC’s department of history, the Center for the Study of the American South and the Burch Fellows Program.

The nine students in Williams’ class, in fact, left the classroom before they ever set foot on the bus that would take them to Charleston.

They had a class discussion — complete with biscuits and sweet tea — in rocking chairs on the porch of the Love House and Hutchins Forum, historic home of the Center for the Study of the American South. They searched for ads about slaves and runaways in South Carolina newspapers on microfilm in Davis Library. They pored over diaries, financial records and family papers that were hundreds of years old in the Southern Historical Collection at Wilson Library. This exposure to what historians call “primary sources” — raw documents or other sources of information that

“When we were at the Southern Historical Collection, I told Professor Williams I felt like I was sneaking and looking into someone’s nightstand,” said Debra McDevitt of Long Island, N.Y., who graduated with an undergraduate degree in anthropology from the State University of New York at Geneseo.

She hopes to pursue a master’s in teaching with a concentration in history at UNC. “You’re looking into someone’s family papers and financial records. Something I had found in the archives we had actually talked about in class 15 minutes earlier. We were there for I think an hour, but it felt like two seconds.”

For Iris Nixon Anasine, a senior African American studies major from Long Creek Township, N.C., time stood still as the bus headed down the long, dusty, dirt road to Boone Hall Plantation on the first day of the Charleston trip.

From her travel journal: The time “froze” only for a split second to see African slave men swinging on the gray moss oak trees.

Constantly feeling my pulse, adrenaline rushed my every movement. I could sense the land stained with the Africans’ blood, sweat and tears. … Where is the memorial for Africans that died on Boone plantation? A small sign that read ‘slave street’ captivated my attention.

The Boone grounds did not even have a burial site to honor the late slaves that were subjected in bondage to produce the crops.

I know they (slave burial grounds) were there because I could feel their spirit within me.

“The hands-on experiences made this course so unique. It gave me an opportunity to pay homage,” said Anasine, who ends her journal by saying that the Slavery and Place class “will forever be family.” “Professor Williams encouraged class participation, in-depth discussions and just the freedom to express yourself.”

In Charleston, students visited Boone Hall Plantation; Fort Sumter; the Aiken-Rhett “urban plantation” home; Middleton Place, a rice plantation; and Coffin’s Point Plantation, the Oaks Plantation and The Penn School Museum on St. Helena Island. They took a Gullah tour of downtown Charleston that

included the home of Denmark Vesey, an enslaved man who plotted an insurrection against slave owners in 1822. They went to the studio of an ironworker and the home of an indigo artist. They ate fried chicken, cornbread, cabbage and yams at a Gullah restaurant. Class discussions were held in restaurants, on the boat traveling over to Fort Sumter or on the sidewalk waiting for a tour to begin.

Jennifer Lewis, a junior history major from Chapel Hill, said the diversity of the group made the class discussions particularly meaningful.

“We spanned ages, people with kids, people without … To see how other people looked at the same information and took different things away was very helpful,” Lewis said. “I felt like Professor Williams wasn’t just pushing us along, but was steering our ship in a way that allowed people with different viewpoints to have a voice. We got a chance to steer our own way, with her guiding us.”

From Lewis’ travel journal: There are so many different viewpoints (political, etc.), yet I feel like we are on a big adventure together. … Watching the Gullah show (at Boone plantation), I felt like we really came together as a group and seeing us, a diverse group if ever there was one, getting along, bonding and most important — sharing this experience together — I started thinking about how confronting the real history of places takes away some of their power to separate us.

Williams said she loved seeing the students come together as a group, making connections about what they were learning.

“I loved stepping back and watching them. We would be on the bus leaving a site, and they would be discussing what they had seen,” said Williams, who will spend the 2007-2008 academic year working on a book about the emotional aspects of slaves losing family members and trying to locate relatives at the end of the Civil War. “It was inspiring to me, in that short period of time, to watch the connections they made. They looked back at history but also looked ahead. They were very introspective. … I think by the end, a lot of them were thinking of themselves as historians.”

As critical historians, students grasped in Charleston what Williams had mentioned

earlier in class in Chapel Hill: the idea of noticing whose actions are being erased whenever the passive voice is used.

From McDevitt’s travel journal: Quotes taken directly from the Middleton brochure: “Almost immediately Henry began establishing the gardens … he further improved the property with the construction of …” How did he establish this garden? Did he get in the dirt himself and work on it? And also, “When the warm days of spring arrived, mosquito netting and cotton dimity replaced the heavy winter textiles, and rush mats were laid on the floor.” … That has voix passive written all over it! …

In short, the whole brochure for Middleton Place House makes not ONE SINGLE MENTION of slaves or slavery.

Jordan Myers, a senior psychology major and UNC student body treasurer from Granite Falls, N.C., calls “Slavery and Place” the most interesting, enjoyable class he has had at Carolina. At Middleton Place, Myers was struck by the tour guide mentioning one of the Middleton documents — a loyalty oath to the Union — that he had actually held in his hands in Wilson Library.

“Sometimes in a classroom setting, you get one side of the story. You only see the forest, as a general aspect. By being able to go down to Charleston, we were able to see the trees, to grasp the entire picture of what was going on,” he said. “We were better able to witness what had happened, where slaves had lived and worked ...”

“The first time you teach a course, it unfolds, and it becomes richer than you ever envisioned,” Williams added.

Perhaps the travel journal of Mollie Echols, a junior history major from Greensboro, N.C., summarizes it best: As much as I was impressed with the large estates, plantation homes and sheer grandeur of the city of Charleston, I had to keep reminding myself to take a step back and remember what the city was built on and who actually built it. … As much as I hate to admit it, for the first time, I actually thought about the hardships and oppression these people lived through day to day. I had always learned about [slavery] and knew that it had happened, but this class and this trip especially helped me to SEE it. • Carolina Arts & Sciences • Fall 2007 • 13

even-year-old explorer Steve Birdsall squiggled in the family car’s backseat, stared intently out the window and played find-the-license games with his brother and sister, mesmerized by those edifying road trips families are destined to share.

Loving every minute.

“We saw the Great Smoky Mountains, Lake Superior, New England, the Far West, traveling around the United States on Blue Highways (those paper-mapped slivery back roads), through small towns, visiting historic sites and natural wonders, camping at state and national parks,” recalls Birdsall, nearly 60 years later. “I craved journey after journey and my heroic parents led the way.”

Little wonder that such a level-headed human butterfly winging his way from sites to insights would turn his passion into a career in geography.

• Carolina calling Birdsall’s UNC career spans four decades, coming full circle. He joined the faculty as an assistant professor of geography 14 • Fall 2007 • Carolina Arts & Sciences

in 1967, was promoted to full professor in 1979, served 15 years as senior associate dean and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and returned to full-time teaching in 1997.

This year he won the Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching, the top teaching honor given at each university in the UNC system.

Having reinvented himself from dean to professor, Birdsall joyfully avows, “My life became my own again.” Invigorated by the dearth of committee meetings, the former administrator purchased and plowed, tractored and fenced 20 acres of Cedar Grove farmland, where he and his wife, Margo Price, share the pastoral life with several quarter horses.

The thrill of discovery still shows in the classroom, where he has also learned how to master new instructional technology.

“As class begins, he photographs students, creates flash-card biosketches and memorizes who we are,” says Andrew Spiliotis (B.A. geography, ’07). Spiliotis

is among the myriad students and alumni Birdsall has inspired to venture into geography careers, each remembering him as “the best teacher I ever had.”

Birdsall has taught at every level, from introductory survey courses to special seminars for first-year students and graduate honors study. It is his passion. “If you ask me to talk about teaching,” says Birdsall, “I’ll go on forever. I’m having too much fun to retire.”

• Landscapes As an experienced teacher, researcher and writer, Birdsall focuses on the role of place and preservation in personal and cultural decisions, the intersections between natural and memorial landscapes.

“We humans attempt to capture what we want to be perpetually remembered by creating a place for it in the visible landscape,” he says. “Think of the personal portrayals of love, conveyed with photos, notes and flowers at the World Trade Center site.”

In spring 2006, he taught a first-

year seminar called “Landscapes of Remembrance.” With geography colleague John Florin, Birdsall took his students on a field trip to see and discuss major monuments in Washington, D.C. “Teaching is my way of encouraging students to connect what they see to personal experiences,” Birdsall says. “On the [National] Mall, they were drawn out of themselves, sobered, engaged and pulled in by each memorial — Lincoln, Washington, World Wars I and II, Korea and Vietnam.”

Birdsall devoted summer 2007 to researching abandoned World War II Japanese-American internment camp sites in the West. He is committed to documenting the historic sites before the National Park Service begins preservation efforts to restore these newly designated national landmarks.

• Colleagues’ admiration Alice C. Dawson (Ph.D. ’04), one of Birdsall’s former graduate teaching assistants, says he is “a compassionate mentor always available to counsel students with clarity and wisdom.” Dawson, now assistant director of academic advising, says, “I’ll spot him teaching at the Old Well and can’t resist listening in.”

Florin agrees. “Steve is intimately involved with his students’ success,” he says. “He demands critical thinking and thoughtful communication, whether in his interactive classroom environment or exploring the wonders of Franklin Street and beyond.”

Birdsall is also respected as a University leader, who cares about the curriculum.

Carolyn Cannon, associate dean and director of academic advising, joined Birdsall on UNC’s re-accreditation Curricular Innovation Committee. “He was instrumental to creating Maymester, the intensely rigorous, albeit brief, threeweek summer course format,” says Cannon. “True to his teaching style, he advocated students and professors spend half the course schedule in non-classroom activities.”

Lawrence E. Band, professor and chair of the department of geography, praises Birdsall as “the voice of practicality, whose insight and University-wide history and context as dean impacts departmental achievements.

He works modestly behind the scenes, thinking before speaking, garnering productive reactions for his ideas.”

• Maxim-izing geography Still the intrepid explorer, Birdsall has traveled to every state in the United States, except Alaska. His other travels (certainly not an all-inclusive survey) have covered: • researching his dissertation in Kenya, with travel to South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana; • exploring New Zealand’s natural and memorial landscapes as a Chapman Fellow; and • venturing through the British Isles and Europe, gathering information for his world regional geography and cultural landscape courses.

Birdsall’s Twelve Maxims to Help Understand the World [see sidebar] originated as simple rules to guide learning about geographic complexity.

Students have taken their elegant logic from Birdsall’s classroom to other areas of study. “The maxims help them understand the worlds around them and within them,” Birdsall says. “I want them to seek and discover connections beyond the superficial and the obvious.”

Now, six decades since the family road trips began, Birdsall is writing a book that differs from his academic tomes and journal articles. Intertwining remembrance and landscapes (natural and memorial) in our lives, the former president of the Association of American Geographers details how the places we live, work and visit affect who we are, how we think and who we will become. Scholarly in accuracy and by example, it promises to be a fascinating read for anyone who has ever found Waldo or asked the eternal question, “Are we there yet?” •

A Passion for Music and Teaching International star joins the College

By Karen Stinneford (BA ’87, MBA ’02)

F

or Stefan Litwin, music isn’t just a passion; it is a way of life.

His earliest memories include awakening to the sounds of Bach and Beethoven produced by his father, a talented amateur pianist who practiced each morning.

“Both of my parents were musical,” Litwin said. “Music was a constant topic of conversation, so my talent developed naturally.”

Litwin’s family often gathered around the radio, trying to guess the composer of whose work they were listening to. And he was encouraged to compose his own music.

Now an internationally renowned pianist and composer, Litwin will join the College in January as the George Kennedy Distinguished Professor of Music. He comes to the University thanks to special funds being made available by the office of UNC President Erskine Bowles and the state legislature [see sidebar].

As a teenager, Litwin turned to jazz and started his own band. He credits his parents for supporting him even though they didn’t enjoy this music. Litwin’s father arranged for an audition at the Zurich Conservatory.

“The conservatory’s director accepted me and sent me to study with his best pupil, Christoph Keller, who rekindled my interest in classical music and taught me how to read music properly again, since for years I had played only by ear,” Litwin said. “Under his guidance, it became clear to me I wanted to become a serious musician.”

In the course of his studies, Litwin developed some expertise in the music of 20th-century composer Arnold Schoenberg, who invented the 12-tone method.

“Schoenberg was a rare musical genius who broke new ground for musical expression,” Litwin said. “While Sigmund Freud’s insight into the human psyche laid open the dark layers of the soul, Schoenberg’s music articulated suppressed 16 • Fall 2007 • Carolina Arts & Sciences

emotions, too. The liquidation of tonality allowed music to reflect social rifts in a far more immediate way than had been possible before.”

He performs regularly with renowned art should have a function beyond aesthetics. conductors and orchestras, and several of “The experience of Auschwitz is not his recordings have received awards.

You simply cannot continue to compose music as if nothing had happened.”

New Dean Holden Thorp embodies the Carolina liberal arts experience

T

alented chemist. Innovative entrepreneur. Award-winning teacher.

Accomplished musician. These accolades have been used to describe H. Holden Thorp, who became the College of Arts and Sciences’ new dean in July. He is also the first College dean in nearly 40 years to be a graduate of the program.

Now he’s claiming to be a cardiologist, too?

Well … sort of. In a summer 2007 presentation to the board of the UNC General Alumni Association, Thorp called himself dean and “cardiologist” and titled his Power Point talk: “Caring for the heart of a research university.”

Perhaps that explains why friend, alumnus and faculty colleague Lowry Caudill ’79 calls Thorp a true “Renaissance man” and one who recognizes the importance of the liberal arts in preparing him for his own career path.

“In the College of Arts and Sciences as dean, you have to be very broad-based, and Holden loves this University,” said Caudill, who created and taught the first scientific entrepreneurship course with Thorp in the spring as part of the undergraduate minor in entrepreneurship.

“He listens well, and he’s very articulate.

He picks up the essence of what you’re saying very quickly. I’ve seen him take an issue, and then be able to go talk to whomever he needed to talk to in the University to flesh out the idea.”

The new dean’s cousin John M. Thorp Jr. is a medical doctor, but not a cardiologist. He’s a distinguished professor of obstetrics and gynecology at UNC. Many generations of Thorps have graduated from UNC, dating back to Henry Roan Thorp — Holden’s great-great-grandfather’s brother — in 1857. Holden got his bachelor’s degree in chemistry here in 1986.

Although John Thorp readily admits he is biased, he thinks the University “got something right on multiple levels” when his cousin was tapped as dean.

“Holden really understands the profound bond or connection between the University and the people of the state,” he said.

Hyatt was gregarious. He made friends easily with folks from all levels and backgrounds. Status didn’t much matter.

“To be with Ron was to laugh with Ron,” Shields observed. “We did a lot of work together, dealt with a lot of issues, and solved lots of problems and some very significant serious issues. But one constant was laughter.”

Hyatt also was a “student’s professor” who strove to do more than just convey course material. His favorite acronym was “O.T.O.T.,” short for “On Time and On Target.” It was something Hyatt always was, and he made sure his students knew what it meant.

“He taught lifelong lessons,” Guskiewicz said. “He taught students how to present themselves in a professional way not only here on campus but in life beyond Chapel Hill.”

Perhaps most of all, colleagues and friends recall Hyatt’s knack for knowing the right thing to say at the right moment.

“He could make a room of people laugh if they needed to laugh, cry if they needed to cry, and feel good about each other if they needed to feel good about each other,” Guskiewicz said.

Hyatt is survived by his wife of 45 years, Gayle Hyatt; a son, Wesley Hyatt; a daughter, LuAnn Hyatt Martinson; and two grandchildren, Bennett and Brynn, all of Charlotte. •

Doing Good and Doing Well Budding entrepreneurs help Ugandans tackle world hunger

T

hree Carolina entrepreneurs followed their instincts to do good in the world by thinking entrepreneurially. It paid off — for them and for workers battling poverty and world hunger from faraway Uganda.

The trio won the $15,000 grand prize in the social entrepreneurship track and the $1,000 People’s Choice Award in the Carolina Challenge, an annual business plan competition associated with the Carolina Entrepreneurial Initiative (CEI).

The Tar Heels spent five weeks in Africa this past summer showing Ugandans how to build, use and market Universal Nut Shellers, simple devices that shell peanuts — a vital source of protein for about half a billion people worldwide. The devices can shell peanuts 50 times faster than doing it by hand.

The Carolina entrepreneurs figured out that producing the shellers in-country was considerably cheaper than shipping them from abroad. As a result, the Ugandans would be able to produce many more nut shellers and be able to sell many more peanuts, improving their local economy while addressing world hunger.

The three friends — Joel Thomas, who graduated in 2006 with a degree in biology; Danika Barry, a senior political science and public policy major; and Maggie Salinger, a sophomore international studies major — decided to start the venture after attending a November 2006 talk on campus from a representative of the Full Belly Project, a Wilmington, N.C.-based nonprofit.

That’s when they learned about Full Belly’s invention, the Universal Nut Sheller.

Full Belly has been producing the machines in Wilmington and shipping them where they were needed as a charitable donation. The project placed 10 shellers in central Uganda in 2005 and 180 in 2006.

But since the nut sheller is made of cement and steel, it’s too expensive to ship many of them from North Carolina to the

countries where they are most needed.

The students decided the solution was to eliminate distribution cost and provide income-generating opportunities to local Ugandans by manufacturing the nut shellers The Universal Nut Sheller is tested by a Ugandan where the shellers would be used. woman at a farmer’s cooperative demonstration.

Coral reefs on swift decline

C

orals in the central and western Pacific Ocean are dying faster than previously thought, UNC marine scientists in the College have found. Nearly 600 square miles of reef have disappeared per year since the late 1960s, twice the rate of rainforest loss. The loss is likely due in part to large-scale stressors such as climate change.

The reefs are disappearing at a rate of 1 percent per year, a decline that began decades earlier than expected, the researchers discovered. Historically, coral cover, a measure of reef health, hovered around 50 percent. Today, only about 2 percent of reefs in the Indo-Pacific have coral cover close to the historical baseline.

22 • Fall 2007 • Carolina Arts & Sciences

“We have already lost half of the world’s reef-building corals,” said John Bruno, lead study author and associate professor of marine ecology and conservation.

The study provides the first regionalscale and long-term analysis of coral loss in the region, where relatively little was known about patterns of reef loss.

The Indo-Pacific contains 75 percent of the world’s coral reefs and has the highest coral diversity in the world.

Bruno and Elizabeth Selig, a graduate student in the curriculum in ecology, compiled and

analyzed a database of 6,000 quantitative surveys performed between 1968 and 2004 of more than 2,600 Indo-Pacific coral reefs.

Coral cover declined from 40 percent in the early 1980s to approximately 20 percent by 2003, the researchers found.

This consistent pattern of decline across the entire IndoPacific indicates that coral loss is a global phenomenon.

The research was funded by a grant by the National Science Foundation and the Environmental Protection Agency’s Science to Achieve Results program. •

microbes quickly accumulate useful mutations and share them with other bacteria through conjugation — the microbe equivalent of mating. Many highly-drug resistant bacteria rely on an enzyme, called DNA relaxase, to obtain and pass on their resistant genes.

Led by Scott Lujan, a biochemistry graduate student, the team suspected they could block relaxase by searching for vulnerability in a three-dimensional picture of the relaxase protein.

There are several bisphosphonates on the market that could act as a decoy, the researchers discovered.

Two effective drugs, clodronate and etidronate, prevent relaxase from handling DNA. This wreaks havoc inside E. coli bacteria that are preparing to transfer their genes.

Redinbo, who cautions that the results only apply to E. coli, said further testing will reveal whether bisphosphonates also attack similar bacteria species like hospital- acquired pneumonia, staph infections and lung infections.

UNC study coauthors include Laura Guogas, Heather Ragonese and Steven Matson. Redinbo and his colleagues have filed a patent and formed a small company to further develop the technology. •

M. Sussman

NC researchers have found a new weapon that could stop the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The team discovered a key weakness in the enzyme that helps “fertile” bacteria swap genes for drug resistance. Drugs called bisphosphonates, widely prescribed for bone loss, block this enzyme and prevent bacteria from spreading antibiotic-resistant genes. Interfering with the enzyme has the added effect of annihilating antibiotic-resistant bacteria in laboratory cultures.

“Our discoveries may lead to the ability to selectively kill antibioticresistant bacteria in patients and to halt the spread of resistance in clinical settings,” said Matt Redinbo, senior study author and professor of chemistry, biochemistry and biophysics.

Every time someone takes an antibiotic, the drug kills the weakest bacteria in the bloodstream. Any bug that has a protective mutation against the antibiotic survives. These drug-resistant

he Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF) has awarded the UNC system a $5.3 million grant that puts science and mathematics majors on a “fast track” to teaching careers by giving them an opportunity to obtain both a science degree and a high school teaching credential.

The BWF Scholars Program is designed to increase the number of science and math teachers produced by four UNC campuses, including Carolina.

Scholarships, mentoring and other supplemental support will be provided to all BWF Scholars. The partner campuses — which include N.C. Central, N.C. State, UNCAsheville and UNC-Chapel Hill — have committed to recruit and prepare 120 scholars over the next three years.

UNC system president Erskine Bowles underscored the importance of such public-private partnerships.

“About two-thirds of the students in U.S. high schools studying chemistry and physics are taught by teachers who are not certified in the field and didn’t major in the subject,” Bowles said.

“We have to do more to increase the pool of qualified science and mathematics teachers for our classrooms and attract the best and the brightest into teaching.”

BWF Scholars will receive $6,500 annual scholarships, a full-time classroom internship with intensive mentoring, as well as extra support in transitioning to the classroom as a new teacher. BWF Scholars who graduate and are then employed as licensed science or mathematics teachers in a North Carolina public school will receive a $5,000 annual salary supplement for up to five years. •

BB&T gives another $1 million to philosophy

T

he BB&T Charitable Foundation has given $1 million to the philosophy department in the College of Arts and Sciences for the second time in four years.

The gift continues the foundation’s support of rational reflection on — and critical engagement with — fundamental philosophical principles.

“At BB&T, we believe that ideas have a profound impact on human action,” said John Allison IV, chairman and CEO of BB&T and a 1971 UNC alumnus.

“An individual’s philosophy ultimately determines how he lives his life.”

BB&T’s Web site describes a corporate culture built around 10 primary values that are consistent, integrated and put into practice. The company’s focus on values grows from a belief that ideas matter, and that an individual’s character is of crucial significance.

The second $1 million gift shares the goal of the first gift: to support visiting scholars who are experts in at least one of these areas — Aristotle and theories of human nature, ethics and economics, social and political philosophy, or objectivity and values. The gift also will continue support for research as well as undergraduate and graduate programs in philosophy.

The original BB&T gift helped support the development of a minor in philosophy, politics and economics, which focuses on classic and contemporary work in political economy and moral theory. The minor explores the nature of capitalism and the principles of democracy and representative government.

“Thanks to BB&T’s remarkable support, we have attracted firstrate faculty, introduced new courses, started innovative programs and brought in a range of exciting speakers,” said Geoffrey Sayre-McCord, professor and chair of philosophy. “There is no way to adequately Geoffrey express in words the difference BB&T’s commitment makes.” • Sayre-McCord

How Muslim communities counter radicalism

F

inding out how American Muslims address messages of extremism in their communities is the goal of a two-year study funded by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Researchers at UNC and Duke University will use the information to recommend policies for reducing the likelihood that the United States experiences the type of homegrown terrorism seen recently in Europe.

“In light of the recent events in London and Glasgow, it is critically important to understand why widespread radicalization has not occurred Charles Kurzman in the United States,” said David Schanzer, a visiting professor at Duke and adjunct professor at UNC, the principal investigator for the study.

Schanzer directs the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security, a think tank sponsored by the two universities and RTI International. The National Institute of Justice awarded the center $394,000 for the study.

Center researchers will seek to learn from the responses of four American Muslim communities to radical Islamic movements across the globe, said Charles Kurzman, a UNC associate professor of sociology and co-principal investigator. Kurzman and colleagues will study Muslim communities in Buffalo, Houston, Seattle and the Triangle.

“Osama Bin Laden and other revolutionaries have argued that it is the responsibility of every Muslim who can do so to engage in violent jihad, but few Muslims have taken up this call, especially in the United States,” Kurzman said. “It is critical that we see what we can learn from these communities.” • Carolina Arts & Sciences • Fall 2007 • 23

Steve Davis

faculty and students in UNC’s College of Arts and Sciences has uncovered evidence of an important 18th-century Catawba Indian village near the Catawba River and Fort Mill, S.C. The lost village, once known as Nassaw, is located on part of a 400-acre tract about seven miles south of Charlotte.

The property is slated for development as a “green” community that will surround a new environmental history museum being developed by the Culture & Heritage Museum of York County.

The discovery sheds light on a critical turning point in the history of American Indians across the Piedmont, said R.P. Stephen Davis, associate director of UNC’s Research Laboratories of Archaeology and an adjunct professor of anthropology.

“Evidence from Nassaw helps us see how the Catawba Nation accommodated diverse groups before the community was devastated by smallpox in 1759,” Davis said.

Nassaw was the most important of six Catawba communities mapped in 1756, Davis said. He and Brett Riggs, a UNC research archaeologist, had previously identified the locations of three of the villages: Charraw Town, Weyane and Weyapee.

been exploring the region for the past five years. Like other researchers, they initially thought Nassaw was located several miles downriver from the museum property, Davis said.

Then they met Hugh White, whose family had resided in Fort Mill since the late 18th century.

Davis and Riggs showed White the mid-18th-century map they were using.

“He told us we were wrong. Then he brought out a leather-bound ledger kept by an ancestor who had been a commissioner for the Catawba Nation,” Davis recalled.

White also showed the researchers a copy of a plat of his land and showed them where a major wagon road followed the Great Trading Path, an ancient northsouth trade route for American Indians.

The UNC team began digging at the site in mid-May. Among the numerous artifacts the group found were dozens of white clay pipe stems that could be reliably placed in the 1750s.

During a survey this past spring, they recovered brass kettle fragments, nails, knives and numerous parts from flintlock muskets — all dating back to the mid-18th century, Davis said.

The archaeological dig was supported in part by a gift to UNC from Cherokee Investment Partners which is developing Kanawha, a mixed-use “green” community on the museum property.

Kanawha managers will preserve the archaeological site as a park. Cherokee is headed by UNC alumnus Tom Darden, and Kanawha Development LLC is headed by UNC alumnus Brian Goray. •

Medieval and early modern studies gets $2.5 million boost A

$2.5 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation of New York will make a significant contribution to medieval and early modern studies at UNC. The grant will enable the College of Arts and Sciences to extend the global reach of the program beyond the European borders of the medieval and early modern world to China, Southeast Asia and Japan, the Caribbean and Latin America.

More than 60 faculty members across 10 departments in the humanities and fine arts teach and conduct research about the period, which stretches in its European context from the fall of the Roman Empire through the 18th century.

Levine respected leader to take over as interim dean during the search for a new permanent dean. Madeline G. Levine, longtime Kenan Professor and former department chair of Slavic languages and literatures, more than filled the bill.

In her first letter to colleagues from the dean’s office, Levine promised to move the College forward “at a steady and even pace,” but, she added, it would not be a year of “stasis.”

Talk about understatement. As interim dean, Levine oversaw: recordbreaking fundraising, the opening of four major new facilities in the sciences and the international arena (Chapman Hall, Caudill Laboratories, the FedEx Global Education Center and Winston House in London),

Maynard Adams Professor of English. “Undergraduate classes in medieval history and 16th- and 17th-century literature are often filled to overflowing each semester.”

UNC will use $1 million of the grant to endow the Mellon Distinguished Professorship of Medieval and Early Modern Studies, with help from the N.C. Distinguished Professors Endowment Trust Fund.

With support from the provost’s office, additional faculty will be hired to teach and research new areas of medieval and early

modern studies. Faculty and graduate students’ research and teaching, as well as graduate student recruitment, will benefit from $1.5 million from the foundation.

The College will provide additional support for undergraduate studies.

E. Jane Burns, Druscilla French Distinguished Professor of Women’s Studies, called the gift the most exciting intellectual development in medieval studies at UNC since she joined the faculty in 1977.

“This generous grant will enable us to study and teach the medieval and early modern periods from the broadest perspective, taking into account the richness and diversity of people, places and cultures across the globe,” said Burns. •

the groundbreaking for a fifth structure (Kenan Music Building) and the creation of a transformative new scholarship program (Kenan Music Scholars).

Levine would insist that these achievements were made possible by teamwork across the College and University, and that credit rightfully belongs to the leadership of others who came before her.

Still, several other major new initiatives were conceived, launched and completed during Levine’s year as interim dean. Heading the list is the successful recruitment of three major academic stars for the College (see page 16), with negotiations under way with three others.

When UNC President Erskine Bowles announced he had special funds from the legislature to lure world-class scholars, Levine immediately solicited nominations from across the College and won approval and funding to recruit them.

Working with senior associate dean William Andrews, she oversaw the $2.5 million grant proposal to the Mellon Foundation for a global program in medieval and early modern studies, which

was awarded in her final days in the dean’s office (see story on this page).

In addition, Levine and senior associate dean Bobbi Owen oversaw new initiatives designed to increase the University’s graduation rates, including the expansion of academic support programs and the development of more pro-active interventions for students before they fall too far behind.

“Wisdom is not necessarily a function of intelligence, but Madeline is among those that are both intelligent and wise,” said Ivan V. “Andy” Anderson ’61, chair of the Arts and Sciences Foundation Board of Directors.

“Importantly, she has a real and affectionate heart for students and learning that defines her as a role model for our great University.”

Levine’s final contribution was ensuring a seamless transition for incoming dean Holden Thorp.

“Madeline Levine exceeded everyone’s expectations of what an interim dean can achieve in one short year,” Thorp said.

“She focused on key initiatives to complete during her term and over-delivered on the execution. Her wisdom informs us, and her legacy lives all around us.” •

Iceblink

Antarctica is the star of a new musical collaboration

Anderson. The piece will be designed for a small chamber group and will premiere in spring 2008 at the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh. De Wetter-Smith will be the flutist in the group as 300 to 400 of his Antarctica photos are shown on multiple screens.

The performance will also feature narration and song.

rooks de Wetter-Smith has hiked a thousand feet above Mount Everest base camp, climbed the Andes, trekked across deserts in Egypt, Jordan and Syria, and explored the mountains of Lebanon.

But Antarctica, with its remote expanse of pristine ice, has been calling him for nearly 50 years.

The Carolina music professor realized his dream last December when he traveled on a National Geographic ship to the Earth’s coldest, windiest and southernmost continent, armed with about 40 pounds of photographic gear. His mission: to capture the spectacular beauty of Antarctica in pictures, sound and music.

De Wetter-Smith, the James Gordon Hanes Distinguished Professor in the Humanities, said he was changed by his experience in Antarctica.

“There’s a spiritual component to it.

I have a much greater feeling of connectivity to Creativity with a capital ‘C’ than anywhere else I’ve been,” de Wetter-Smith said.

De Wetter-Smith’s 12-day journey began in Ushuaia, Argentina, at the southern tip of South America. There, he boarded a ship with scientists, researchers and others to travel around Cape Horn and cross the Drake Passage — among the roughest waters in the world — to Antarctica.

De Wetter-Smith’s colleague, Allen Anderson — who heads the music department’s composition area — has never been to Antarctica, but he’s become passionate about the icy continent in his own way.

In October 2005, de Wetter-Smith first approached Anderson about a monumental idea: to create a multimedia performance featuring his Antarctica photos and a new musical piece created by

Long before de Wetter-Smith left for Antarctica, Anderson began mapping out ideas and pencil illustrations in a sketchbook.

He and de Wetter-Smith talked about the kinds of shots they wanted to explore.

As a composer, Anderson said he has always been very visual. He was attracted to the idea of working with multimedia and intrigued by the sheer size of the landscapes in Antarctica.

“This idea that there are places in nature where the expanse of rock, of space or ice is so vast, where one faces the enormity incapable of comprehending it: that’s compelling for me musically,” Anderson said.

The duo will spend this fall collaborating on the project, with de Wetter-Smith receiving support via an Institute for the Arts and Humanities fellowship. Anderson has dubbed the project, “Iceblink,” the name given to a white light seen on the underside of low

clouds that indicates the presence of ice beyond the range of vision.

De Wetter-Smith is also drawn to the power of visual imagery. He caught the photography bug from his grandfather — the first curator of photography for the Brooklyn Museum — and from Ansel Adams, whom he and his grandfather both knew.

He wants people to feel a real connection to Antarctica and to care about its preservation.

“I hope they begin to value the importance of that region to the future of the rest of the world,” de Wetter-Smith said.

“When there’s a face we can connect to a place, we have a sense of connection. With no connection, there’s no commitment.” • ••••••• “Iceblink” is supported by these UNC units: the College, Institute for the Arts and Humanities, James M.

• From Whence (Louisiana State University Press) by Michael Chitwood.

A UNC creative writing instructor’s latest collection of poems explores the concept of threshold — the moment when a situation or person is transformed into something new. It could be when a boy realizes that his childhood is over forever, or when a rock on a frozen pond melts and plunges through the ice.

Organist It seemed it took all of her to play it. Her smooth hands worked the double keyboard, her shoulders rolled under the robe when she reached to the stops, oboe, lute, or harp.

She’d unsnap the robe, bottom up, and spread it back over the bench to give her legs the freedom they needed.

Only I could see her feet.

She’d taken off her shoes to feel the low register pedals with the private dark toe of her Sunday hose.

Through “Holy, Holy, Holy” and “I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord” I was acolyte to her organ’s hum. The Word, as her hymns swelled, became flesh.
