Many students stay in area permanently
By PHIL WELLS .
Staff Writer
By this time each year, most students have one thing
on their minds getting out of Chapel Hill.
But for some students, this has never applied. There
are some who could stay here forever.
This is the case for many UNC alumni who choose to
stay in Chapel Hill after they graduate.
There are so many, in fact, that 5,984 tlNC alumni
now live in Orange County, making it third among
North Carolina counties with the most UNC alumni,
Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs Bo Dunlap said.
"I think a lot of these people want to come home and
have 'decided to come home," said Dunlap, who is an
alumnus himself. Dunlap has been in Chapel Hill since
he graduated in 1964.
"Chapel Hill is a great place," Dunlap said, adding
that it offers more than many North Carolina towns.
Dunlap said that because of his job, he gets to talk to
UNC alumni throughout the country and they all envy
him because he lives in Chapel Hill. Many of them tell
him that he is lucky to be living in Chapel Hill, he said.
John G. Slater, an accounting and business major in
the class of 1931, moved back tOs Chapel Hill in 1977
from Birmingham, Michigan, where he worked for the
Eastman Chemical division of the Eastman Kodak
Company. And Slater said he is extremely glad he came
back.
Slater said that his wife and he traveled throughout
the southern United States and decided to settle in
Chapel. Hill. "Chapel Hill was a good compromise
between the mountains and the coast," he said.
But Slater said that "the town is a lot different now."
He said it was a "charming little village" when he was a
student but it has grown tremendously since then.
But still, Chapel Hill is a "very nice place to live," he
said.
Porter Cowles Pickell, a history and psychology
major, stayed in Chapel Hill when she graduated in 1933
and has been here ever since.
"I was one of the lucky ones," she said. Anyone who
stays in Chapel Hill and can make a living for himself is
very fortunate, she said. ,
She began working at the University Press when she
graduated and retired from there in 1974. "It's (Chapel
Hill) an absolutely magnificent place for people to
retire," she said. "You can find anything in the world you
want (in Chapel Hill)."
Pickell said that although she has noticed some
changes in Chapel Hill, "a lot of things are still the
same." She said the main difference is that there are now
"a lot of people here." .
But Richard Baddour, -an assistant director of
undergraduate admissions, said that "it's (Chapel Hill)
just not the same."
Baddour, an economics major who graduated in 1966,
said he was only a part of the University as a student but
now is a part of the entire town, which makes a
difference, he said.
"I took a cut in pay to come back (to Chapel Hill),"
Baddour said. "I was absolutely delighted."
And John Stewart, from the class of 1968, was also
delighted to be able to find a job in Chapel Hill.
"I liked Chapel Hill, and therefore I looked for a job in
Chapel Hill," said Stewart, who was both an
undergraduate and law student at UNC. "I wanted to be
in a smaller town," he said.
"I didn't ever want to grow up either," Stewart said.
"I'm still a college student at heart."
Stewart said he also noticed a change in Chapel Hill
from the days when he was a student. It has become

"more metro than village," he said, with a great deal
more traffic.
WCHL News Director Susan Datz stayed in Chapel
Hill after her graduation but recently returned to Chapel
Hill after a temporary job in Wilmington.
"H enjoyed Chapel Hill," she said, "so Chapel Hill
seemed hke a very natural place to stav."
"But Chapel Hill is unique," she said. "Leaving and
coming back here was very educational."

. Chapel Hill's village atmosphere is more apparent as the
number of students attending UNC decreases during the
summer. According to merchants the activity along Franklin
Street substantially wanes as the majority of Tar Heels leave
for the summer.
The total number of undergraduates as well as graduate
students was more than 20,000 for the past semester. During
the summer sessions the number of students is reduced to
approximately one-third of the normal population at UNC.
Last summer 7,600 students attended both summer sessions.

"Business usually drops 25 to 30 percent," said Don
McLennan, owner of Sadlack's Heroes and Deli. "(The
change) definitely has hurt. We cut crew back by one or two
people each shift."
McLennan said a change in hours will be necessary.
Usually his store is open seven days a week from 1 1 a.m. until
1 a.m. throughout the fall and spring semesters. During the
summer, Sadlack's Heroes and Deli will close at 1 1 p.m.,
Monday through Thursday while keeping the usual closing
time for Friday and Saturday.
"(During the time between the end of the semester and the
beginning of the summer sessions), we'll probably close for
one or two days," McLennan said. "We'll give the place a
thorough cleaning and then open with a small crew during
the sessions."
"Basically it's just dead," said Joe Deese, manager of
Record Bar. "There is a substantial decrease (in sales)."
Deese explains that there appears to be three times a year
for these drops: during Christmas break, spring break and
the summertime.
"The real town people seem to hibernate except for (these
times)," Deese said. "Business subsides from absolute
craziness to a dull roar.
"People ask how can you stand it.' (This is the) time to
catch our breath," he said.

Unlike other area businesses, the Record Bar staff varies
from year to year on its composition from students to
residents of Chapel Hill.
"The interesting thing is that everyone comes in wanting a
summer job. Our staff and store is geared (right now) to the
rest of the year when we're going full-speed ahead," he said.
Troll's manager Bub O'Malley notices a change in the
students. "The students seem quieter," he said. "There's no
mob scene.
"In proportion to the number of students that are
attending UNC (in the summer) there is really no difference,"
he said.
"The crowd determines the atmosphere," said Greg
Ovrbeck, manager of Spanky's restaurant. "The restaurant
is not as filled, and the crowd is quieter."
Overbeck said during the summer a greater number of
townspeople frequent Spanky's rather than students.
The Bleeding Heart'
Relations
By MARTHA WAGGONER
Staff Writer
Marilyn French has written her second
novel and critics of The Women's Room
who said she presented men as
stick figures cannot say the same of her
new novel. The Bleeding Heart.
When French. visited the UNC campus
in February, she described The Women's
Room as a horizontal book which
covered the lives of many women through
many years. The Bleeding Heart, on the
other hand, she described as a vertical
book which explores the relationship of
one man and one woman for one year.
Readers who know something of
French's own life will recognize parallels
between it and the life of the main female
character of The Bleeding Heart, Dolores
Durer. Dolores, like French, is a
professor Dolores teaches English at
iuc nciiuiidi Limiinigs college in oosion;
and French has a Ph.D. in English
literature and has taught at Hofstra
College, Holy Cross "College and has
taught at and was a Meilon Fellow at
Harvard. And like Dolores, French has
written numerous scholarly articles. But
here the proven similarities between
French and Dolores end. At the interview
French almost refused any comment on
her personal life and spoke mainly about
her professional career and women's
rights. The Bleeding Heart is, however,
the story of a personal relationship.
The story of Dolores and her lover for a
year, Victor, begins on a train in England.
They share a compartment but do not
speak to each other. When the train stops
in Oxford, he takes her bags and she leads
the way to her apartment. There they
introduce themselves (first names only)
and go straight to bed.
For the sake of the reader, it is good
that the rest of the story is more
believable than the opening two chapters.
The book chronicles the ups and downs
of their relationship, complete with

SUIT Writer
The Southern way of life. Exactly what
is it? What makes it unique?
For several years, UNC has developed
courses in areas including history,
English, political science and sociology
that concentrated on certain topics
regarding the American South. Next
semester, the American Studies program
will offer a series ol courses targeting
specifically on the Southern culture and
history as it relates to American culture.
"We have heard from students for
years. The program was an initiative from
faculty and students to develop a
concentration (on Southern studies)
within the American Studies
curriculum," said Joy Kasson, acting
chairman of the American Studies
Curriculum.
Because of a lack of resources and
office space, the program never took
shape until the decision to make it part of
the American Studies program was
made, said John Reed, of the sociology
department. This way, we don't have to
worry about additional funds or
professors," he said.
Although a Southern Studies program
is rare, UNCs program is not the first.
The University of Mississippi started the
first program less than a year ago. Reed
said Mississippi's program is purer than
UNCs because it focuses solely on the
South. However, for undergraduates,
UNCs program is probably better, he
said. Reed also said he thought the South
tends to be ignored in American studies
programs across the United States.
Kasson said UNC is one of the best
places to study the South. "People doing
research on the South come from all over
the world," she said. She cited the
Southern Historical Collection and
manuscripts in , Wilson library as a big
drawing card for those examining the
South.
Kasson described the faculty who will
be teaching the Southern related courses
as "nationally known experts."
Reed, who has been teaching Regional
Sociology of the South since spring of
1970, explores the South from economic
an J-social problems, in the 1930s and
1940s, and focuses on topics including
regional stereotyping as a result of the
mass media, urbanization and cultural
aspects.
Merle Black of the political science
department will teach a course called
Contemporary Southern Politics which
looks at the South since 1945 and touches
such issues as Republicanism, the
Wallace movement and Southern
political culture, lie said the course is
aimed more at a non-political audience.
Joel Williamson who will discuss race
relations in the South in his history
course, Race Relations in America,
agreed that UNC has a good program for
a focus on the South. If you want to
study the South, it's (UNC) the place to
go," Williamson said.

stories of a wife who was paralyzed in a
car wreck after she and Victor had a fight
and the daughter who killed herself
because she hated her mother. It
describes, in almost painful detail, the
problems of man and woman who love
each other and their work and come
from totally different societies.
Victor is all businessman he fits in, he
is part of the establishment, he is
successful. "Winning, is wonderful," he
tells . Dolores in the middle of an
argument. "Success is wonderful! There's
nothing like it! That's felicitous life!"
Books
Dolores, on the other hand, is a libera!
from Cambridge, who dresses in caftans
and goes barefoot as often as possible.
She tells Victor, "You can't cure a disease
by cutting off the symptoms, you have to
get at the root. And the root is our system
of values." Not exactly the words to
ingratiate herself with Victor, who has
become rich and successful from the
system she is condemning. From the
beginning, the reader is relieved that
Victor and Dolores have only one year
together.
French tells much of the story by going
inside Dolores' mind and revealing the
thoughts hidden there. When Dolores is
describing herself to Victor she says, "My
name is Dolores Durer. I'm a professor of
English at Emmings College in Boston. I
specialize in the Renaissance." But in her
nead Dolores is thinking, "Actually I
specialize in grief. I was apprenticed to it
early by my mother who was apprenticed
to it by hers. You might call it the family
business." We learn more about Dolores
from her unspoken thoughts than
through her spoken conversations. The
style is informal and intimate the
reader knows not only what Dolores is
doing, but why she is doing it. We may
not agree with her, but we understand
her.
Depsite the fact that the story is told
from Dolores point of view, we
sympathize with Victor and his problems,
too because Dolores recognizes her
weaknesses and his strengths. Victor may
be successful, but his marriage is a mess,
his wife has him by the throat with guilt
she can impose with just a smile and he
really cannot understand Dolores' way of
.thinkiri at times. He's not unfeeling or
callous, he simply has a different way of
looking at life. There is no right or wrong
here there is instead a wide divergence
between the mindset of these two
characters.
French docs not end the book with
Victor and Dolores saying good-bye, but
leaves the two together four days before
they must part. The novel is not a
romantic one, but the ending will appeal
to the romanticist in all of us wc can
stretch out the final four days for eternity
and imagine that their happiness will last
forever. Despite the over-all pessimism of
the book and of French's writing in
general. The Bleeding Heart leaves us
feeling content no matter how
unrealistic that contentment may be.
