Her college studies earned her a B.A. in government, a B.F.T. in Latin American Studies, a M.S.Ed. in Reading/Elementary Education, and Ph.D. in both Educational Administration and Cur riculum and Instruction. During her professional career, Lockledge served as a principal, professor and taught stu dents at every grade level, including a posi tion at an American School in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. She came to UNCW as an assis tant professor in 1987 and became a profes sor ten years later. “She was really personable, easy to get in touch with, and really cared about her stu dents,” said senior Stephanie Lucas who re called how Lockledge had drawn a map to her house on her syllabus and invited students to come by and see her or call with any con cerns. Lockledge traveled extensively through out the world collecting artifacts, conducting research and giving presentations. In the 1990s alone, Lockledge visited Ecuador, France, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Italy, Nova Scotia, Kenya, Honduras, Tuni sia, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, and London. She shared the knowledge and ex periences she received during her travels with her classes. It was amazing to see all the places she had been,” said senior Traci Jones who was in Lockledge’s methods of social studies class last semester and recalled how the professor had brought pictures, paintings and other items into class to show her students. Both Lucas and Jones said that their fond est memory of Lockledge was the time when she invited all of her classes over to her house for lunch right before fall exams. “She let us go through all of her scrapbooks that had all of her memories and pictures of her family and photos of African safaris and other travels. It was really neat to see that part of her life,” Lucas said. “She really seemed to make the most of her life.. .its un- beUevable that she’d gone. I feel very lucky that we got to know her the way we did.” While on campus, Lockledge served on needs part-time female models to seirve as representa tives at festivals, sports events, and other social events .

She maintained a close relation ship with many of her colleagues during this time. “She served as a mentor to many people and was very giving of her time,” Huber said. “She helped new people navigate through the university system and if a colleague received an award she was just as happy for them as if she had received it herself.” Lockledge’s philosophy of instruction cen tered around the idea that teachers are respon sible for molding individuals who are respon sible as well as intelligent. “We do not need more information in this mixed up world of ours—we need more so cially responsible, well-informed, participa tory citizens who use information wisely,” Lockledge said in 1998. “We do not neces sarily need more readers but we do need people who know how to bring about peace ful settlements. We do not necessarily need more mathematicians but we certainly need more problem solvers.” Lockledge was the author of six teacher resource books, over fifty journal articles, and gave presentations throughout the world on subjects ranging from Aboriginal people and their environment to integrating social stud ies and math in the elementary classroom. She received numerous grants and fellow ships for her research studies, and most re cently was given a grant from the Consor tium for the Advancement of Education for her studies of how African-American moth ers serve as educators to their daughters. Lockledge’s family held a private memo rial service in Detroit and a service was held by the Watson School of Education on Tues day, Jan. 4 m King Hall. Jones said that she hopes her graduating class will be able to do something in remembrance of Lockledge’s at their commencement. In heu of flowers, Lockledge’s family has asked that donations be made to the Ameri can Heart Association (AHA). The local AHA is located on 4701 Wrightsville Avenue, 28403. Both student and faculty members on cam pus have presented conflicting views concern ing the proposal. Many students believe the tuition hike is unnecessary while others feel the funds should be allocated to construction and renovation programs. “Tuition is high enough already and if they do decide to increase it. I’d rather see the money put towards new buildings and im provements on campus,” said in-state student Catherine Hanlon. “They should use the money we’re going to pay for stuff we as students could enjoy as well, not a raise in teacher’s salaries.” Leutze said he did not want to ask for a tuition increase solely for faculty salaries as he believes this should be the state’s responsi bility and does not believe students should pay for salaries. However, the chancellor does rec ognize additional needs that the funding could address. He wants to put about $1 milhon of the new revenues into furthering educational opportunities for lower-income southeastern North Carolina residents. Leutze also wants to increase benefits for faculty and staff, espe cially those at the lower end of the pay scale. “All of our staff who make less that $25,000 per year had to pay increased medical costs,” he said. “I’d like to fmd a way to help them by covering some of their increased medical costs.” History professor Stephen Levine does not think that students should be forced to carry this financial burden. “I think it would be bet ter if the funding could somehow come from the state, rather than the pockets of the parents and students,” he said. Other students believe the increase will provide essential funding to the school. “I think that we all want to build the uni versity to be the best it can be, and in doing this we have to build more buildings, and to do that we have to raise tuition,” said junior Gina Canady. Leutze indicated that he would like to see more student opinion voiced on campus. “I encourage students to be participatory and demonstrate what their feelings are. That’s what universities are for,” he said. “I don’t expect students to agree with everything the administration does, and I’m not surprised when they demonstrate their dissatisfaction.” ^ 79W747 Hoe tlan-topm SnneliiigliirEyeiylKiily! •EVD'sMsie •SpeaaizingiiBa(M)(& 'GanesafKlglls '\Meoso(aliai[)8s BadieloiBtepa^laro ^liiineolJpesei^iiiiiafai
