Mrs. Cartwright
Combines Roles
The man who observed you
can’t be two places at once rniist
have had Asheville’s Mrs. Helen
Cartwright in mind.
Only, with Mrs. Cartwright, it
nearly became a question of three
places.
Mrs. Cartwright is both mother
and school teacher, either job a
fulltime occupation.
When the needs of teacher re
certification faced her, it appear
ed she would have to budget con
siderable travel time to reach
the nearest college offering gra
duate study.
Then the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro announc
ed establishment of a Graduate
Center at Asheville-Biltmore.
The first offering at A-B was
Constitutional Law, taught by Dr.
Ivans Parkins, professor of go
vernment, and Mrs. Cartwright
admits “It seemed a formidable
challenge to take such a high-
sounding course.”
Looking back after completing
it, however, she noted additional
benefits to the mere three-hours
credit and convenience of loca
tion.
“It was very enriching for
me,” she said. “I knew nothing
about Constitutional Law. Now I
can appreciate the news on Su
preme Court decisions regarding
sit - ins, reapportionment and
prayer.”
The catalog description of
Constitutional Law notes that
the course encompasses “The
structure and powers of the Am
erican Constitutional system as
defined in decisions of the Su
preme Court, with particular at
tention to that Court’s diverse
(legal and political) functions.
