A Haywood County mountaineer, veteran of the Korean War, former newspaper reporter and editor. Associated Press award winner and author of a highly-praised novel. Green studied creative writing at Asheville-Biltmore college (old UNC-A) in 1961. He edited the literary magazine, Bluets, that year, when it won All-Columbian honors in nation wide competition. He returned to UNC-A in 1977-78, working in the Political Science Department and the library's archives. Before that time he taught journalism and creative writing at Warren Wilson College.

As a reporter for The Asheville Citizen, Green won several AP awards for feature writing. He also won awards from the N.C. Press Associa tion for investigative reporting while he was editor-publisher (and writer) for The Native Stone, a weekly newspaper he started in 1971. “The Year of the Swan," an Oriental fable Green wrote some years ago, was illustrated with woodcuts done by Gene bunker, former head of the UNC-A Art Department.

He later served in the U.S. Marines. “The High Pitched Laugh of a Painted Lady" is drawn from Green's native North Carolina mountains. He now lives and writes on a moun tainside in the Fairview section. DOING OKAY And just how well are UNC-A students doing now? Not bad at all, to judge by the figures. Among 38 graduted from the university in the middle of the 1979-80 school year, almost a third graduated with honors, according to a report by Registrar Jo Cadle. Of these 12, four graduated with Latin honors, for the highest academic achievement, and eight others “with distinction." One hundred eighty-three students made the honors list for the first semester of the 79-80 academic year with a quality point average of 3.5 or better. Thirty-nine, or 21.3 per cent, made the highest possible average, a perfect 4.0, DORR: OUR GOAL IS SERVICE Continued From Page One could be?" “We have an extremely talented faculty. But this is not enough in itself. Though the most significant service we render is teaching — helping others to learn — we must always see the role of the university and each member of the faculty in these terms: Whom can we help? What can we do for them? How can we do it best?" “In a state university paid for by the taxpayers and dependent on the sup port of the local community, service reaches out beyond the student on the campus." “The people of the Asheville area and Western North Carolina are look ing to the university, and we must deliver. In addition to our regular courses, there are needs for con ferences, short courses, speakers, con-, sultants and knowledgeable people to serve on public and civic boards. These' are the kinds of service our community has been asking for, and they are the sort that state universities are expected to provide." “Can we do it? Many here are already doing it. I am convinced the University of North Carolina at Asheville is a tremendous resource for its community, but we must continual ly take stock of ourselves to see what more is possible." “The goal is to help us all do better what we are here to do. We must res pond fully and effectively to the real needs and expectations of our students and community. We must do so for our own self-esteem as much as for every other reason I have mention ed. Besides knowledge and wisdom, service to others is essential to the meaning of 'professional.' " UNC-A 'SNOW NUMBER' 252-7500 YA GOTTA DECIDE! Registrar Jo Cadle wants all students to have this reminder: Every student who has earned 60 semester hours of credit is required to register a major with the chairman of his major depart ment. “If you are a junior or senior and have not yet declared your major you should do so immediately," Mrs. Cadle said, “so your new major ad visor can help you plan your 1980-81 class schedule during the April registration period." “If you are undecided about a ma jor," she said, “career exploration counseling is available in the Counsel ing Center,"
