tinguished Alumni Awards were
presented.
Recipients of the awards, which
have been given annually since 1971,
were Edward Bilpuch, director of the
Triangle Universities Nuclear Labor
atory; novelist Gail Godwin; Thomas
Lambeth, executive director of the Z;
Smith Reynolds Foundation; broad
cast journalist Roger Mudd; and
Richard Knight, city manager of
Dallas, Texas.
The alumni award recipients were
also honored at a breakfast Wednes
day morning, where each had an
opportunity to speak. This year
marks the first such breakfast, but
it will probably become an annual
event, Bonus said.
The processional music was pro
vided by the University Wind Sym
phony, and the Carolina Choir
performed a song during the cere
mony. The University Band played
on the steps of Wilson Library during
the lunch served after the ceremony.
William Dux, director of Carolina
Dining Services, said food was
prepared for 6,500 people and the
planning for the event started well
over a month ago. The work was done
almost completely by Marriott
employees, although an outside
waiters' service was brought in for the
day. , The food included 20,000
chicken drumettes and 25,000 choc
olate chip cookies.
This event was a little bigger than
graduation, which until this point was
the largest catering job the ; dining
service had ever "done, said Kathy '
Lambui, catering director! Most' of
the employees spent Fall Break in
Chapel Hill to prepare for the event,
and they started setting up the food
tables at 6 a.m. Wednesday, Lambui
said.
As their contribution to University
Day, the senior class arranged to have
UNC's original charter brought to
Wilson Library from the State
Capitol in Raleigh for the day. It was
the first time the charter has ever been
brought to the campus and displayed,
said Neil Fulghum, the keeper of the
North Caroliniana gallery. Fulghum
was in charge of organizing the
special charter display, which also
included the original bronze corner
stone and the original pen and ink
sketch of Old East.
"In a way, bringing home the
charter was a gift to the University,"
said Steve Tepper, senior class
president. "We were proud to be able
to do it and proud of the response
the charter got."
Tepper said he was pleased with
the reaction to the exhibit, and that
most of the day there was a line about
15 minutes long to see the charter.
I The senior class also held two
receptions Wednesday afternoon in
honor of Hardin. The first, held in
Wilson Library, was for the Board
of Trustees, the Living Legends
(alumni who are more than 70 years
old), the Dialectic Society and dis
tinguished administrators and
faculty. The second reception was
held in the Pit for students and other
guests.
The Bible used to administer
Hardin's oath was 389 years old, the
oldest Bible in North Carolina.
Wednesday was the first time it had
been taken outside in 173 years.
Those who attended said they were
impressed with the University Day
ceremony and the related events.
"It was really handled well. It was
a very appropriate tribute and recog
nition to the University's history,"
said Tom Williams, a freshman
history major from Chapel Hill.
"The whole event was extremely
well done in the tradition of this
University," said Francis DiGiano,
professor of environmental sciences
and engineering. "I was inspired by
Chancellor Hardin's message. He
came across as vivacious and enthu
siastic and he spoke for change.
