2 Wednesday, April 10,1996 UNC Art Professor Has Made Life His Canvas BY JENNIFER BURLESON STAFF WRITER Lounging in an office strewn with pa pers and running his fingers through fuzzy gray hair, art Professor Marvin Saltzman said that after 29 years of teaching at UNC, he was ready to call it quits. The reason behind his retirement? Too many things at the University have changed —and not for the positive, he said. “I’m willing to fight like hell for any student, but the University isn’t as much fun as it use to be,” Saltzman said. Today’s students were too concerned with syllabi and books, Saltzman said. “If I have to teach with the syllabus, I'm not allowed to be a teacher anymore,” he said. “They (students) don’t want a teacher. They want someone who will read from their textbooks.” He said he believed he was a good teacher because instead of telling students exactly what they need to change, he helped them to see their mistakes themselves. “You don’t tell them what to do,” he said. “You open doors. You don’t take them by the hand and pull them through. ” That style of teaching is something Saltzman’s students value. “He tells you what the problem is and you can solve it,” said continuing educa tion student Dot Borden. “He’s the best teacher I ever had.” His near 30 years of dedication to higher learning, however, is not Saltzman’s first love. In fact, he said that if he could change one thing in his life, he would not teach: He is a painter first and foremost. Still, he said, “I do not regret one mo ment that I have ever given to a student.” If Saltzman could turn back time, he said he would have stayed put in Califor ENROLLMENT FROM PAGE 1 ber of students would be an increase in resources from the state government, Sanford said. “We will get more resources from the state,” he said. “While it will cost usmore, we willbegettingmoreresources.” The increasing number of students at tending universities in North Carolina had given UNC an obligation to take in more students, Sanford said. “The trustees are exploring the need and the role of the University in absorbing the increasing num ber of students,” he said. 31 jHS SBHS twit S*WB Get The Best DEAL On Summer Housing; (fully furnished condos) KENSINGTON TRACE 967-0044 nia, where he worked at the IRS, because he had more time to paint while working there. “I always wanted to be a painter,” said Saltzman. He was surrounded by art his entire life because many family members were art ists. “I never expected to be anything else. I was always very good.” Another added benefit of California life, said Saltzman, eyes peering from behind a pair of glasses, was the opportunity to date actress Elizabeth Taylor. He smiled as he remembered the way she looked the first time he met her. “She was more beautiful than any pho tographs,” he said. Saltzman joked that he held a special position on the list of men Taylor dated. “I’m probably the only person that didn’t marry her.” However, Saltzman said their first date was not perfect. “Of course she immediately ran off with an 18-year-old, but officially she was my date, dammit.” Saltzman admitted that he has gained weight since the days he dated Taylor, but said his appearance was not important to him. “What I look like is totally uninterest ing to me," he said. Every morning, he gets up, goes to a pile of clothes and grabs whatever is on top. Then, disregarding what his disheveled garb might look like, he slips on the old clothes and paints while he is “fresh and alive.” Saltzman treats his hairdo with the same nonchalance he does his wardrobe. He said he only cut his hair about three times every two years, when it “gets too long and starts getting yellow.” The number of students graduating from high school was expected to increase by 10 percent within the next five years, Feiss said. The possibility of growth implies major changes across the University. Sanford said the enrollment committee planned to de termine when and how growth could take place. Feiss said that while the idea of expand ing the undergraduate student body was “brand new, ” the enrollment management committee had been in existence for sev eral years. “It’s been years, I think, since there’s beenaconsciousefforttolookat (growth), ’ ’ Feiss said. “We are not making any prepa- id Triangle Women's Health Clinic Low cost termination to 20 weeks of pregnancy.

The Chapel Hill Garden Club will hold its first Spring Garden Tour on Satur day to celebrate the season and raise money for the N.C. Botanical Garden. UNC-system President C.D. Spangler’s and Chancellor Michael Hooker’s gardens are among those featured in the tour. All proceeds would go to the N.C. Botanical Gar den, a 600-acre fa cility that includes areas devoted to re search, education and habitat conser vation, Garden Club member Connie Rende said. A botanical garden official said the gar- Chapel Hill Garden Club First Annual Spring Garden Tour Saturday, April 13, 10 a.m. 4 p.m. Tickets $lO in advance. sl2 at event den had no specific plans for the money yet. Fundraising is the primary purpose of the tour. A secondary purpose was “to introduce as many people as possible to the beauty of Chapel Hill,” Rende said. She said the Garden Club wanted to start hold ing a garden tour every spring. Rende said the club expected between 500 and 700 people to show up for the tour, which will begin at 9:30 a.m. She said 500 tickets had already been sold and that 125 tour guides will lead people through the gardens. Spangler’s garden included walkways and patios full of fragrant white flowers, Garden Club spokeswoman Nina Forsyth ‘Talk of Town’ Increases Local Focus for Listeners BY GIBSON PATE STAFF WRITER Producers at Chapel Hill radio station WCHL, which has claimed to be “the talk ofthetown” since 1953, have changed the station’s morning format to focus more on topics of local interest. “Local focus is the strength of our sta tion,” said Greg Bunce, operations man ager for WCHL AM 1360. “Our Town, ” anew show dealing with community problems, aired for the first time last Wednesday, with a discussion of the severe flooding problem that plagued Chapel Hill late last summer. Host and community activist Diane Bloom said she hoped the call-in show would increase resident involvement by being an informative sounding board for locals on issues facing the town. The idea for the program sprang from a meeting held about three weeks ago be tween members of the community and WCHL General Director Mary Yow, who agreed that a show with more neighbor hood balance needed to be added to pro gramming. ‘“Our Town’ presents community is sues from a different perspective than other shows on WCHL since we give the citizen point of view,” Bloom said.

There is also a goldfish pool in the backyard, but a great blue heron with a 9- foot wing span visited recently and ate all the fish, she said. Hooker’s garden featured a sunny rose garden and a swimming pool, Forsyth said. She said the garden was still in progress because the Hookers have not lived in Chapel Hill very long. She said they were trying to find a way to add personal touches to the garden, which has belonged to gen erations of University chancellors. There would be no formal tutoring or explanation during the tour, Rende said.. People would be free to wander on their own, but the guides have preliminary in formation about each house, she said. Rende said the gardens looked good despite the unseasonal weather Chapel Hill has had lately. “I’ve previewed some of the gardens and they look pretty trim, ” she said. “If we get sun the next couple of days it would help.” If it rains on Saturday, the tour would take place Sunday, Rende said. Tickets, cost $lO in advance and sl2 on Saturday/ andthetourbeginsatthecomerofFranklin and Boundary streets. The Garden Club can be reached at (919) 542-5556. “Talk of the Town,” the weekday morn ing block, airs Monday through Friday from 9to 10 a.m. The show boasts a differ ent topic each morning with a different host. Chamber of Commerce President Joel Harper hosts “Business Talk.” “The pur pose of ‘Business Talk’ is to increase un derstanding and appreciation of the be hind-the-scenes aspect of running a busi ness,” Harper said. The original “Talk of the Town” hour is hosted on a rotating basis by former UNC Chancellor Paul Hardin, developer Joe Hakin and former Commissioner Stick Williams. “It is setiij) as a potpourri type of time frame that encompasses a broad range of topics and personalities every week,” Bunce said. Hakin said he has interviewed everyone from Chapel Hill Mayor Rosemary Waldorf to UNC assistant basketball coach Bill Guthridge. With the new morning format, repre sentatives of WCHL say the station is reaffirming its commitment to being a lo cal station. “They used to say if someone got shot at noon in downtown Durham, we would not interrupt our programming, unless it was a Chapel Hillian,” said Jim Hepner, president of Village Companies, which owns WCHL.
