Brashear's Complaint Brings Response
To the editor:
I would like to respond to
Mrs. Ann Brashear's complaint
that appeared in the Nov. 26
issue of the Journal. I feel
qualified to do so in light of the
fact that from 1968 to 1972 I
was secretary in the department
she is referring to. At that time
there was nine of 'them'
(faculty members) and only one
of 'us' (secretaries), so
proportionately the odds were
the same.
Unfortunately, the chores
and pressures she mentioned I
can attest to as being real — not
only in that department, but in
many others across campus. It is
not an easy job and secretaries
are to be commended on their
ability to recover from one day
in time to do it all again the
following day. I, too, typed
letters, exams, kept budgets,
worked on committee
assignments, answered
thephone, ran errands, xeroxed,
ran stencils, etc. I also typed the
entire Metrolina Atlas and kept
up with two NSF funded
institutes.
Priorities are difficult to
negotiate and there are times
when one begins to feel as if she
is regarded as a machine — but
that's the job, baby, take it or
leave it. The work situation Ann
described does exist, and I am in
full sympathy with her on this
matter. But I refuse to see Dr.
Stuart (of course it's the
Department of Geography and
Earth Sciences — who else puts
out atlases?) publically
represented so incorrectly. I was
with the Department v\lien Dr.
Stuart joined us as chairman and
subsequently spent four years
working closely with him.
Never, not for one minute, was
he anything less than honest,
gentle, patient, thoughtful,
understanding, helpful,
sympathetic, insightful, genuine,
and supportive. Occasionally I,
too, would feel overwhelmed by
demands placed on me by the
job and Dr. Stuart would sit
down with me and talk it out
and we always came to a mutual
understanding. He never failed
to bring about results with
faculty members. The problem
so often arises simply because
faculty members are not always
aware of current work loads and
priorities. He never expected me
to crumble trying to 'finish'
each day with its inherent tasks
— all he asked was that I do my
best, and with that kind of
support it all became more of a
gameful challenge rather than a
hellish office situation.
Ann Brashear was with the
department for only SVz months
— I was there four years. It's
larger now and perhaps the
closeness we once felt for each
other may have diminished.
Within a large number of people
there are bound to be a few who
are difficult to deal with. But
Dr. Stuart isn't one of them.
When I left the Geography
Department to become a
full-time student, it certainly
wasn't because of any
animosity. The hardest part of
leaving was dissociating myself
from participating in all our
plans, which in the meanti,,
have become realities -
Masters in Geography, fa
Earth-Life Science Buildinn
he made me fell a part of thesi
things, which comes about onl
within the special relationsh
between two people wh
depend on and trust each othe
within an atmosphere of muM
respect..
It's been over two yea,,
since I left the Department of
Geography and Earth Sciences
In a few weeks I will graduate
and be on to other things But
Dr. Stuart and his department
have made an obvious
impression on me and I can't
leave UNCC without hangings
there one more time for 'my'
guys.

Dear
To the editor:
Mr. Ian Larlee never ever
attempted to talk with me
about financial matters relating
to WVFN before writing that
nonsensical trash letter in the
Journal relating to Media
products and finances. He
claims that both the radio
station and the Journal should
both be self supporting.
Ridiculous. If he thinks that
much advertising revenue can be
brought in a year then I'd be
more than glad to have him on
my sales staff.
Mr. Larlee is correct
however in stating that WVFN
has spent $15,000 like it had
got the requested $30,000. This
has been necessary to pave the
way for an FM stereo station. If
