Running Mate Susan Moeser Settles Into UNC As Mentor, Music Enthusiast By Robert Albright Staff Writer With bright red hair and blue eyes, the wife of UNC’s ninth chancellor stands out in a crowd. But her appearance and her marriage to the University’s man-in-charge are not the only things that make Susan Dickerson Moeser unique. An avid sports fan, an accomplished organist, a marathon runner, a cook and a lover of the out doors, Susan is lucky if she can find time during the day to catch her breath. Bom in rural Kansas into a family that “bleeds Jayhawk blood,” Susan began playing the piano before she could even read, which helped set the course for her lifelong passion for music. After watching a teenage boy play the organ at her family’s church, Susan decided at age 14 to focus her musical efforts on the popular church instrument. “(The organ) is a very challenging instrument,” she said. “There is a different array of sounds and keyboards to choose from, which makes each organ unique.” Susan, who is active in the American Guild of Organists, has performed concerts at sites all over the world, including Westminster Abbey and Portugal, Germany and South Korea. Although Susan set her sights on music early in her life, little did she know that her love of music would also lead her to her husband, who is an accomplished organist as well. The two met at the University of Kansas while Susan was getting her doctorate in musical arts and James Moeser was a faculty member at the Women's Center Welcomes University's First Lady With Reception By Scott Britiain Staff Writer Female faculty members recendy got to meet the woman behind the chancellor at a reception showcasing UNC’s first lady. The Carolina Women’s Center and the Association for Women Faculty and Professionals co-spon sored an informal session with Dr. Susan Moeser, Chancellor James Moeser’s wife. “I just thought it would be a good idea to welcome our new chancel university. They quickly developed a friendship - one that Susan said progressed over the years. “We knew each other for years before marry ing,” she said. “When we moved away from Kansas and lived in different cities, our relation ship grew even stronger.” In 1987, the couple married and began their life together. Asjames worked his way up the administrative ladder at Pennsylvania State University, the University of South Carolina and then the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Susan held fac ulty appointments teaching organ and music the ory. Despite their busy schedules, Susan said she and her husband, who has two children from a previous marriage, have always made an effort to spend quality time together. With their common musical bond, the couple has even performed an organ concert together. “The last time James and I played together, we did a concert in Portugal,” she said. “It was a glo rious experience for both of us.” In addition to her passion for music, Susan said she also enjoys running, hiking and tennis. Having run several marathons, Susan said she likes getting outdoors everyday and staying active. “The last marathon I ran was in 1997,” she said. “I need to run in another one if I still want to call myself a marathon runner, though.” Susan, who practices the organ nearly every day at area churches, said her husband has been See MOESER, Page 6 lor’s wife,” said Diane Kjervik, direc tor of the Carolina Women’s Center. “We want her to know that we are thrilled to have her here.” The sentiment was echoed by Moeser, who was pleased to be involved in campus activities. “I think this is a great opportunity for me to meet women on campus, and I feel that these are very impor tant groups on campus,” she said. “When you’re the new kid on the block, it’s nice to meet people in a different setting.” The reception was as much a wel ■ Well-married, a man is winged; ill-matched, he is shackled.

A few women were even drawn back to campus from retirement to see their old friends and hear of the latest happenings. “This new women’s center is something that we hope will spread the word,” said Mary Turner Lane, a retired professor from the School of Education and the founder of the Association for Women Faculty and Professionals. “We’ve made wonder ■ -\Jt ball 40 yards from the goal and slid a through baE for Alyssa Ramsey. Ramsey raced past the defense and converted from 10 yards to give UNC a 1-0 lead. “It’s so hard to replicate the pressure that North CaroHna is capable of putting you under,” Duke coach Bill Hempen said. “It’s not something you can talk about; you have to see it and feel it.” The Tar Heels kept their attacking pressure up and added to their lead seven minutes later. Florance, after receiving a left-wing cross from Anne Remy, sent a low cross to the top of the 6-yard box, where Jordan Walker was able to get a foot on the baE. Walker, who only recently entered the starting lineup after Susan Bush’s season-ending knee injury, scored her third goal of the season and second of the tournament. She also added two assists during the weekend. “Jordan WaEcer was supposed to be (Laurie) Schwoy’s apprentice this season,” Dorrance said. “For that young apprentice to come out, start for us and lead us and organize us - what a credit to a great kid.” UNC scored twice more in the sec ond half.
