Accounting Program Gets Good Reputation Despite continuing high unemployment and an uncertain future in many career fields, the need for trained accountants in North Carolina is projected to con-tinue to increase through 1986 and beyond. Figures kept by the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina indicated that in 1978, there were 13,612 accountants employed in the state in all fields. The same study projected that by 1985, the total number of accoun-tants working in the state will have increased to 17,260. That represents an annual in-crease of 3.3 percent, or approx-imately 940 jobs a year. Of that 940 figure, 520 of the jobs will be new positions and 420 will be necessary to replace personnel. The U.S. Department of Labor, in its 1982-88 Occupational Outlook Handbook, stated that national employment opportunities for ac-countants are expected to grow faster than average through the decade of the 1980's due to increas-ing pressure on businesses and government agencies to improve budgeting and accounting procedures. That's good news to Dr. Charles Mecimore, who is head of the Department of Accounting at UNC G. But the projections come as no surprise to him. "As long as the economy is uncer-tain and remains in a transitional state, as long as the business en- March To Defend Reverend Henry Atkins A demonstration and march to the Greensboro police station to de-fend Father Henry Atkins and de-mand a halt to all political harass-ment will be held today. The action is in response to a recent series of attacks on the UNC-G Episcopal chaplain. Anyone who wants to par-ticipate should gather on the library lawn in front of the statue at 11:30 a.m. The group will then march to the Washington Street entrance of the Greensboro Police Station for a press conference at 12:30. Follow-ing the press conference the group will proceed to Police Chief Swing's office. Atkins and his family have been under a series of attacks recently. In early October Atkins received two death threats on the same day a few days after meeting with police officials concerning the Pete Seeger Concert at UNC-G. Late on October 31 the Atkins family was awaken-ed by police who told them that so-meone had burned a cross on their front lawn. Several days later after dusk, Atkins' son saw a man taking photographs of their home with a high-powered camera from across the street on Friendly Avenue. The man's car was parked in the park-ing lot of the Young World Child Care Center. Atkins called the police, who said they would dispatch a car to the scene. Atkins said that no police arrived for at least a half hour while the man continued to take pictures On October 26 at approximately 10 p.m. Atkins' teenage daughter Hannah was riding nome in a friend's car when a man stopped at a light next to their car and threatened Hannah with a hunting knife. Friday night, November 25, St. Mary's House on Walker Avenue was broken into and robbed. Atkins is chaplain at St. Mary's House. Items valued at a total of $3200 were stolen from the congregation, including a typewriter, silver chalices, musical instruments and prayer books. Personal items stolen from Atkins' office were valued »t $1460, including a Salvadoran cross, Guatemalan stoles, several sets of vestments, books on Liberation theology, and a slide show titled "Honduras: On the Border of War." At a November 18 meeting of the Greensboro Human Relations Com-mission Police Chief Swing stated that he hoped we were not in a reverse-McCarthy era where people saw the police and Klan behind every crime. Atkins evaluated the November 18 meeting with the following, "Chief Swing seemed to be seeking to discredit my account of events at the hearing. He said that he didn't see how the man j my house could be i on Friendly Avenue because it is a very busy street, which implied that I was lying. Swing seemed more interested in investigating me and developing arguments against my version of things than in rinding out who burned the cross, who took the photos, and who stabbed at my daughter Hannah." Atkins continued, "I'm appalled at the lack of sensitivity to the black community by the police depart-ment around the effect of calling a cross-burning a 'Halloween prank.' It seems that they fail to realize that this kind of attitude in fact en-courages people who are prone to do things like cross-burning to go ahead and do it." (The Greeniboro Daily Newt had reported that the police were treating the cross-burning as merely a "Halloween prank.") One of the many questions that students and concerned Greensboro citizens will ask Chief Swing today will be which police officer made the "Halloween prank" statement. They will also ask him why the police failed to respond to the report of the unidentified man taking photos of the Atkins residence. Atkins, who is the leader of many organizations including Triad Citizens Concerned for Central America and the Carolina Coali-tion for Justice in C.A., has been an an outspoken critic of U.S. foreign policy in that region. Several days before the cross-burning incident he had made a public statement con-demning the U.S. invasion of Grenada. Atkins will be leaving Greensboro at the end of the month to accept a position as chaplain at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He said that his decision to move to N.J, was made months prior to the series of attacks. Luminaires Usher In Holiday Season For the 14th consecutive year, student* at UNC-G will welcome the Christmas season with their an-nual luminaire display, which will begin later today at dusk. During the day, students will assemble an estimated 6,000 candle luminaires and place them all around the campus. The candles will be lit shortly after dusk and will burn for approximately four hours along UNC-G's streets and sidewalks. Special activities will include caroling groups around campus and a bonfire in the Residence Hall Quandrangle. The event is open to the public and visitors are invited to Vview the luminaires and to join UNC-G faculty, staff, and students in welcoming the holidays. On the same evening, UNC-G Chancellor and Mrs. William E. Moran will host a holiday reception for all UNC-G faculty and staff and the University's Board of Trustees from 8-10 p.m. in the Virginia Dare Room of the Alumni House. The luminaire display, which has its roots in Spanish and French Christinas customs, has taken place yearly at UNC-G since 1969. The festivities will be sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega and Gamma Sigma Sigma, two student service organizations on campus; Elliott University Center, and other UNC-G student organizations. i Dillard Collection Grows BY LEIGH TRAPP Aublul Niwi Editor The Weatherspoon Art Gallery has increased its Dillard collection by acquiring twenty-three works of art by John D. Graham and Claude Howell which are currently part of the current Art on Paper show at UNC-G. Eighteen of these works were gifts to the gallery while five of the new pieces were purchased with a grant from Dillard Paper Company. Including these new editions, the Dillard collection now contains 364 pieces of art. The works by Howell are water-colors given by Mrs. Edythe E. Wyrick in memory of her late hus-band, Charles C. Wyrick Sr. who worked with Dillard Paper for ap-proximately 43 years. The Howell works are the Cape Lookout Series No. 7-Rain Squals and the Cape Lookout series No. 13—Reflected Light. The sixteen other gifts were done by contemporary American artists and were presented anonymously through Donald Droll, the gallery's New Assistant Director. Dillard Paper Company, which gave the grant to purchase the five other works, has given approx-imately $269,600 to Weatherspoon to fund the Art on Paper shows since the beginning of this annual practice in 1966. Dillard Paper has slso given $1,000,000 to help build UNC-G's new Arts center. The five works were selected by the acquisitions committee of the Weatherspoon Gallery Association. The works are: "Circus Drawing with Pink," 1983, by Robert Carvin (Pastel/Charcoal), "Series: Pilot Mt. with Disquieting Object, No. 1," 1980-81, by Ann Carter Pollard (PencU), "Study for Love will Tear Us Up (the Sleep)," by Robert Longo (Graphite/Acrylic), "Adolpho of Ravenna," 1946, by John D. Graham (Pencil and Chalk) and an untitled oil painting by Sylvia P. Mangold. The sixteen anonymous gifts are by artists Mike Kelley, Thomas Lawson, Lee Lozano, John Miller, Itnlo Scango, Colin Thompson, Gary Burnley, Lynton Wells. Bill Copel-ly, Frank Moore, Jane Kaplonite, and Walter Robinson. All these acquired works will be on display from the Art on Paper show, with the Dillard Collection at the Weatherspoon Art Gallery. vironment becomes more complex snd as long as tax laws keep getting revised, there'll always be a demand for more accountants," said Dr. Mecimore. "That's not just here in North Carolina, but nationwide as well." As a relatively young department in UNC-G's School of Business and Economics, the Department of Ac-counting is rapidly achieving a reputation as a quality program, Mecimore said. Since its founding in 1976, enrollment of accounting has risen from 223 in the fall of 1977 to 671 at the start of the current 1983-84 academic year. The major indicator of how well an accounting program prepares students for the job market is their performance on the national cer-tified public accountant (CPA) ex-amination, Mecimore said. Running approximately 19 hours in length, the exam measures competency in four areas: accounting theory, ac-counting practice, auditing and business law. "Our program is still relatively new and our students are com-peting with those from the older, established programs in the state, but they're doing very well," said Mecimore. "It's a very difficult test and the scores our students have gotten in the past are very gratifying." During the November 1982 exam session, 21 UNC-G students who tat for the lengthy test for the first time showed the highest pasaage rate. 42.9 percent, and the lowest failure rate, 23.8 percent, on all of the parts they attempted. Their first-time scores were better than those posted by students from all 11 other North Carolina colleges and universities who also took the test. The passage rates UNC-G students posted on the four categories were as follows: 47.1 percent on business law and 61.9 percent on accounting practice, leading the other 11 schools; auditing, 60 percent, third place; and accounting theory, 67.1 percent, second place. Three UNC-G students have received honors for the scores they made on the two CPA exam sittings in 1982. In May 1982, Susan B. Mills graduated summa cum laude and went on that month to make the second highest mark nationally scored on all four parts of the ex-am. Her score also was the state's highest. During the November 1982 sitting, students Jonathan Can* and Joyce Freeman made the state's highest and third highest scores, respectively, on the entire exam. Another item that Mecimore cites as an indication of the UNC-G pro-gram's quality is the frequency with which "Big Eights" recruit UNC-G accounting students. Not related in any way to sports, "Big Eights" are the nation's largest accounting firms and their representatives visit the UNC-G department regularly during the yew. "All of the ones which have of-ficies in Greensboro recruit on our campus," said Mecimore.
