Ethridge Fellows En joy Return
To School From Newspaper Jobs
Three newspapermen with a
total of 30 years behind them
as reporters, critics and edi
tors are finishing up their first
semester as Mark Ethridge
Fellows here.
As participants in a unique
project for continuing educa
tion of Southern journalists,
they are enrolled in an assort
ment of courses ranging from
urbanism and city planning to
political science, art, drama
and music.
Each has mapped out a
program of study which he
feels will aid him directly once
he resumes his position in the
newsroom. History Prof. Clif
ford M. Foust Jr. co-ordinates
the Ethridge project on the
UNC campus.
Tom Faison of The Durham
Morning Herald, Owen Lewis
of The Greensboro Daily News,
and Bill Tazewell of The Nor
folk Virginian - Pilot were
among seven newsmen select
ed last fall for Ethridge Fel
lowships, a program offering
working journalists a chance
to return to the campus for
varies periods of study.
Administered by the South
ern Regional Education Board
in Atlanta, the program is fi
nanced by the Ford Founda
tion. It is open to news and
editorial personnel of newspa
pers, wire services, news mag
azines, radio and television
stations in 15 Southern states
which are parties to the South
ern Regional Education Board
Compact. Fellows may study
at Duke, Emory, North Caro
lina, Vanderbilt, Virginia or
Texas.
The program is named for

" 'Van Gogh,' said a popu

portrait painter recently, .'was.,
a serious but clumsy artist;
why, he didn't even know how
to draw." This is? used as the
point of departure for a re
buttal against many of the
popularly held, though com
pletely unknowledgeable, pre
judices against modern ab
stract art.
It called to mind the feud
that raged in my column in
the Greensboro Daily News
three years ago between
Sedgwick and the portrait
painter, a great deal of which
seems to have motivated a

Mark Foster Ethridge, a mem
ber of the journalism faculty
here. Before retiring in 1965,
Ethridge held management
positions for 27 years with the
Louisville Courier - Journal
and Ties, and served two
years as vice president and
editor of Long Island's News
day. The fellowship project was
announced last Janurary dur
ing the annual N. C. Press
Institute on campus. One of the
first Ethridge Fellows, Jane
Willis of Brandenburg, Ky.,
studied here last spring.
While the three newsmen go
different ways most of the
week, their paths cross each
Monday afternoon in a semi
nar on Newspaper Manage
ment taught by "Professor
Ethridge" himself.
Faison, an editorial writer
for the past eight years, is con
centrating on city problems
and the politics of develop
ment and urbanism.
"The Planning Department
here deals with many of the
things I've been writing about
at the paper," he observed.
"I'm collecting valuable back
ground material and making
notes which I can use as in
stant references in the future."
A Pennsylvania native, Fai
son was graduated from UNC
and holds a masters degree in
journalism from Columbia. He
worked several years as a city
hall reporter in Rocky Mount
before joining the Durham pa
per. "Planning is an essential in

life," he continued. "My ex

Sedgwick's book. I even find
myself quoted in the book.
As an art historian for the
contemporary field, Sedgwick
has few peers. But Ms ap
proach in teaching and in.
writing is a higi ly personal
and selective one.
Sedgwick selects a few art
ists from Cezanne to the pres
ent who are particular favor
ites of his, and propunds his
personal philosophy of mod
ern art. It would take a fair
ly sophisticated layman to fol
low his development of h i s
premise; a fair amount of
knowledge of art jargon is es
sential top. To help in this re
gard Sedwick adds his own
glossary as an appendix.
His disdain for art critics is
apparent in his other pub
lished works; he makes no

It's good to get out of the of
fice and think about things
other than general housekeep
ing." An art editor, Lewis is tak
ing courses in art history and
criticism, opera, the oratorio
and the theatre. Also a Chap
el Hill alumnus, he has stud-,
ied art at Salem and UNC at
Greensboro. He worked for the
papers in his hometown of
Winston-Salem before moving
to the Gate City.
"It's sort of like coming
home," Lewis sums up his re
turn to the campus. I wish
I'd had the advantages as
an undergraduate here that
I'm having today as a result
of my fellowship. As an under
graduate, I lived in a trailer
and held down several jobs
working my way through
school. I couldn't enjoy the cul
tural and social fringe bene
fits of college life."
He isn't letting any oppor
tunities escape him these days.
He attends nearly every con
cert, exhibit and literary lec
ture staged in the Research Tri
angle area. In addition, he is
reviewing plays and exhibits
for The Daily Tar Heel, as
well as continuing h& contri
butions to The Greensboro
Daily News.
"I especially enjoy taking
courses simply because I want
to learn," he said. "We don't
have to worry about grades
or degrees. This venture will
be invaluable for me and the
newspaper. My classes are giv

Meyer Schapire, S. Lane Fai

have not felt superior to the

I qualify for the Sedgwick
definition, since the first writ
ing I did was sports writing,
and I was sports editor of a
college paper for a year.
I am not, however timorous
about my art history, nor is

Scholarly pursuits are noth
ing1 new for Bill Tazewell, Nor
folk native and associate edi
tor of The Virginian - Pilot. A
graduate of the University of
Virginia, he edited the student
newspaper there and obtained
a masters degree in English.
He then studied at Ohio State
on a Woodrow Wilson Fellow- '
ship and attended the School
of Letters at the University of
Indiana. Switching . from Eng
lish to history and political sci
ence, he studied at Harvard
for a year.
Tazewell now is focusing at
tention on international rela
tions and city planning. He
described Chapel Hill as "sort
of a cross between the Uni
versity of Virginia and Har
vard." The University commu
nity here, he explained, "has .
the charm of Charlottesville
coupled with the intellectual
quality of Harvard." .
Obviously- impressed with
the state and the University,
he mentioned the "variety of
opportunities" in this area.
"We in Norfolk write a great
deal about North Carolina, par
ticularly its Northeast cor
ner," he explained. "I'm go
ing to benefit more from just
living in this area than- from
any particular course content.
There's no substitute for the.
firsthand experience of living;
in the state."

To -Sedgwick the culmiha- ,
tion of the modern art move

connections.
For all his selectivity,
though, Sedgwick tells the
reader how to look at the art
of this century and even how
to collect it. He likes painter- ?
ly painting, and he thinks it ,
will be around for a long time
to come.

Stanford Jr., curator of edu
cation at the North Carolina
Museum of iArt here, has pub- .
lished a "poor man's art kit," ,.
called "Masterpieces in the
North Carolina Museum of
Art."
Underwritten by an $8,000
grant from the Junior League
of j Raleigh, the outfit consists
of an 86 - page beautifully il
lustrated text and 40 color
slides of major works from
various schools of art in the
museum's collection. The
whole kit sells for $8, or the
text may be bought separate
ly for $1.
Impeccably designed and
laid out by Stella Suberman,
museum public information
officer, the kit is a handr
some production. If you want
to go first class, an extended
version in a similar vein is
available from the North Car
olina State Art Society for
$575.

: Stanford's text, written to
reach the layman who is notv
art-oriented, and the children
in the public schools of North
Carolina, is in no sense a
work of art history, criticism;
or. connoisseurship. . He dis-
'cusses subject matter, artist's?
lives and gives a quick cap
sule of the milieu in which
the works were produced. The
range in art history extends
from Giotto to Kline, a large
order for 40 works of art.
Stanford plans to bring out
seven more volumes which
will discuss various segments
of the museum's collection in
greater depth.
Meanwhile, Stanford's kit is
highly recommended to any
group planning a tour of the
museum or just interested in
finding out a little about the
paintings which belong to the
people of North Carolina. How

College Costs Rising
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
high cost of higher education
reached the highest level in
history this year.
But the record isn't likely
to. endure very long. All
signs indicate that the trend
is still upward.
A new survey of college costs
has just been released by the
National Association of State
Universities and Land-Grant
Colleges and the Association of
State Colleges and Universities.
It shows that students at
three out of four state institu
tions are paying higher tuition,
fees, room and board charges
in 166 than last year. Of 303
colleges surveyed, 225 had in
creased at least one type of
dent charge this year.
Tuition and fees registered
the greatest increases. Tuition
for resident students at State
Universities and Land-Grant
colleges increased from a $312
average to. $333. Non-resident
tuition climbed from $737 to
$782.
The survey shows that high
est tuition costs are usually en
countered in the East, while
fees are lower in the West and
South. Nineteen schools charge
residents over $400 a year for
tuition and fees, including the
State University of New York,
New Hampshire, Ohio, Clem
son and Virginia, Maine Mari
time Academy and Western
Color State College.

Nineteen colleges also charge
over $1,000 for out-of-state- tui
tion and fees, including the
