Dick Molten, a North Carolina business - man who turned hiv , back on a successful business career two years ago to enter UNC as a freeman, was gradu ated in February at the age of 38-. ' , : : ' It took him only two years to get his A.B. degree in economics, elected to Phi Eta Sigma, and to Phi Beta- Kappa.- - : - In addition he has been awar ded a Wood row Wilson Fellow ship by the national Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Program. Prior to Entering the Univer sity in 1954 he was living in Ra leigh and wa "in charge of a sales district for a dental supply company, a position in which he was very successful. One evening two years ago, he sat down with hi wife and dis cussed their future. BACK TO SCHOOL Years ago he studied engineer ing at the University of Virgin ia, but "it didn't take," he said. He had visited here severa! times in 1953, mainly making arrange ments for the inj-tallation of the new School of Dentistry. "It was at this point that I started think ing about entering the Universi ty," he said, and "after talking it over with my wife, I decided to regroup and start over again." He sold his house in Raleigh and bought one here, and enter ed the University in -February of 1954. He scored high on tests, so he was not required to take ele mentary English courses. He was credited with 18 semester hours for his military training and ex perience. During World War n. Dick Molten served as a Naval avia tor, first in ,Africa, then in the southwest Pacific. At the end f the war he was a flight instruc tor teaching men how to be pi lots. He hold- the Navy Disting uished Flying Cross, American Defense, American Theatre, Eu ropean Theatre. Philippine Lib eration, 'Asiatic Pacific and Vic tory Medals, and the Presiden tial Unit Citation. He is now re tired with the rank of Command- . . ... TOP RECORD . , Other students took Molten in stride while the young instruc tors in economics and others in spired and challenged him. His academic record has been out standing. "But instructors were virlbly surprised at first," he said, "when they saw a bald-headed freshman sitting on the front row." Molten immediately fell in love with economics .He has been con stantly at work, summer as well as the regular semesters, in Cha pel Hill, except for last summer when he studied at Mexico City College in Mexico. He has a high regard for the quality of teach ing he has seen at UNC. He is enthusia '.ic when he talks about the field of economics. He feels that it offers a person an excel lent background for intelligent citizenship as well as preparation for employment in private indus try and government. He wants to teach. The Woodrow Wilson fel lowship will enable him to com plete his master's degree by 1957. Mrs. Moltea is the former Ma ry 'Thompson of Columbia, S. C. They have three children, Carol, 10; Richard, Jr., 8; and Camille, 4. "Since the usual student acti vities are not geared to the o!d folks'," Molten said, "we haven't gone in for too many extracurri cula activities on the campus." Instead, they have devoted most of their spare time to church ac tivities and scouting. Dick hss served as substitute and summer organi of the Episcopal Church here, ami in Raleigh was active in the church vestry as Sunday School teacher and lay reader. Mrs. Molten is a cub scout den leader. Dick Molten has had no qualms at all about changing his career. He has seen aiiccoss in practical business life he's wel! on the way to a second career in teaching. 3 Scholastic Prize Winners Are Named Winners of three scholastic aw ards were announced yesterday by Ernest L.
