6The Daily Tar HeelWednesday, April 4. 1984 No. 1 in the U.S. Bureau calls Chapel Hill best educated city By MIKE ALTIERI Staff Writer Another No. 1 ranking for the town of Chapel Hill? No, it's not football, lacrosse or basketball. Instead, the U.S. Census Bureau recently recognized Chapel Hill as being the best educated city in the nation. Nearly 69 per cent of all Chapel Hill residents over the age of 25 have a college degree. This statistic makes any city look good. But what makes Chapel Hill in particular so educated? What is the criterion for being the country's "best educated city?" UNC History Professor George Taylor defines the educated person as "one who has the ability to think analytically and to articulate ideas." Without these abilities, a person today may find himself handicapped in society. The need for a good education has created many issues, such as which school to attend and what major to choose. This latter issue brings about one question that is getting much attention today: Whether to select a major in a liberal arts field or in the business or science area. ManV theorists point to lincirwcc rr Knitrr( fiIHc ac the direction to take in the 1980s. Computer technology is snowballing at an incredible rate, creating more opportunities and higher salaries in the business and science world. Is a liberal arts education still as important and worth while today? Taylor said he thinks so. In his view, he feels a liberal arts degree can fully prepare a person for either law or medical school. In some cases it even ex tends into the business world. "The problems of administration, planning, and analysis are often solved better by liberal arts majors than by anyone else," Taylor said. According to him, knowledge of accounting and economics are important in a liberal arts education. Vince Steele, a junior journalism major, said, "It fits right in line with what I want to do. Liberal arts is flexi ble and you learn a little about everything." Steele said he feels that students shape a liberal arts degree with the electives they choose. "Tiic degree is completely worth while if you approach it with the right point of view," Steele said. With so much emphasis being put on education today there is much concern about the quality of our higher Wake up to a cup of coffee and The Daily Tar Heel hearings learning. Today college expenses make some people wonder if they are really getting a quality education. According to UNC President William C. Friday, "the educational opportunity is an enormously valuable in vestment." Friday said a college education is more im portant today than ever and that it is "extremely valuable." It is evident throughout Chapel Hill that a college degree is important. Taylor said, "You will pay a heavier penalty for not having a college education today than you used to 20 years ago." Many UNC graduates choose to live in Chapel Hill every year. As President Friday explained, "Chapel Hill is a university town, and the number of degree holders is always higher in college towns." One major reason for this is the Research Triangle Park, which provides lucrative work within a short dis tance of Chapel Hill, The University itself also provides employment for many residents. UNC graduates com pete fiercely and do well upon entering the job market, Friday said. Local businesses and area companies always look closely at UNC students.

Virginia Augusta led the Tar Heels, now 14-5, combining with Marsha Brown for a one-hitter in the first game and pitching a no-hitter in the second. It was Augusta's second no hitter this season. In the first game, UNC came out strong, scoring all five runs in the first three innings. In the bottom of the first, Amy Spelman walked and ad vanced to second on Lorae Roukema's sacrifice bunt. EasF Carolina shortstop Muffy Zmvda then booted an Augusta grounder and Spelman scored. In the second inning Kay Holt scored from third on an at tempted steal by Melissa Jarrell, after reaching base on a single and advanc ing to third on a throwing error by the East Carolina catcher. The third inning opened with an Augusta single. She stole second base and went to third on consecutive walks to Maria Powers and Susan Faircloth. Augusta and Powers then scored on a Holt double to left field and Faircloth scored on a throwing er ror by the ECU catcher. East Carolina picked up two runs in the fourth off Marsha Brown, who had come in for Augusta. Brown walked Zmvda and a passed ball allowed her to go to second. A throw ing error on UNC shortstop Roukema allowed Zmvda to score and another run came in on a wild pitch by Brown. Brown allowed another run in the sixth before Augusta came back in and shut down the Pirates through the final 1 13 innings. In the second game, after only twenty minutes of rest, Augusta came back and threw no-hit ball through seven innings. North Carolina scored a run in the first when Powers reached first on a fielder's choice and advanced to third on consecutive wild pitches. Holt then singled in Powers. The Tar Heels played good defense behind Augusta, before UNC got on the board again in the fifth. Their final three runs came in the fifth as Powers and Candy Jarrell both singled and scored on a throwing error by the Pirates' catcher. Roukema also scored in the inning on Jarrell's hit. Tar Heel coach Susan Clark said she was happy with the two wins and pleased with Augusta's performance. "Virginia will keep us in the game," Clark said. "We're always confident when she's in there." Clark added that the Tar Heels had faced poor pit ching in a weekend tournament in Virginia, and weren't ready for the strong FSU pitching.
