State of Campus Addressed
The State of our campus was the
subject of two addresses to Senate
on Tuesday night-one given by SG
President Lorie Tyson and the
other by SG Vice President Wendell
Carter. In attendance at the event
were a group of campus ad-ministrators
which included
Chancellor James Allen, Dr. Hugh
Hagaman and Jerry Williamson-chief
of campus security.
Ms. Tyson opened her address to
the assembled senators and au-dience
on a sad note—the death of
former UNC-G Chancellor
Ferguson the evening before. She
spoke about how the university had
"doubled in site during his time in
office" and of the dedication he had
had to UNC-G. A moment of silence
was observed in respect for Dr.
Ferguson.
In her actual address, Ms. Tyson
went into how student government
should work to better itself—and
added that with the new constitu-tion
where would be problems, but
improvements in the long run.
Finally, she likened the university
to a tree—with the students as
leaves and each department and
area a branch. Her point was that
for the tree to remain healthy, each
part of it must be healthy—and each
student served by it.
Mr. Carter opened his address by
speaking of the demands that stu-dent
government places on those
who work within it-and shout the
past when vice-presidents had,
because of their dedication, had
their grades slip. He made the point
that student government makes
demands on people-and that he
hoped that the new people in Senate
would be able to improve on what
had been done in the past.
Senate then adjomed for several
minutes to allow the Senators to
meet and mingle with the ad-ministrators
who had taken the
time to attend the speeches. One ad-ministrator
made the remark dur-ing
this break time that it was "sad
that his (Chancellor Ferguson's)
death should fail on this day. 1 think
he'd be proud of all of you and what
you're trying to do here."
The majority of the administra-tion
members left as Senate re-convened
to take care of its normal
business. After some debate,
Senate approved a request from the
International Students Association
to allow them to transfer money in
one part of their budget to another
part where it could be used to cover
■the expense of a going away party
for their advisor last year. In addi-tion
to this, nominations were made
for president protempore of the
Senate and Jeff Johnson, Chuck
Murpn, Buck Buchanan, and Ricar*
do Rodriguez were nominated.

Chancellor
James
Ferguson
Chancellor James Ferguson, who served as chancellor of UNC-G from 1964 until 1979,
died late Monday evening. Memorial services were held yesterday in Greensboro with many
members of UNC-G and the UNC system present.
During his 15 years as chancellor of UNC-G the university completed its transition from
a Woman's College to a complete co-educational institution and grew to almost double its
size in 1964. His resignation in 1979 was to return to teaching as a hiBtory professor, and
at that time, his explaination was "I have regrets even now, but 1 have examined my deci-sion
and feel this is the time to do it. Teaching is my greatest satisfaction in life.
3, at 8 p.m., he will give a lecture,
entitled "The Woven Tattoo," in
which he will give observations on
the role of fabric works in the lives
of people.
His visit to UNC-G is made possi-ble
by funds from the Falk Endow-ment
for the UNC-G Department of
Art.
A graduate of the University of
California at Los Angeles, Knodel
received his master's degree from
' California State University at Long
Beach. His works have been shown
nationally in both group and one-man
exhibitions. In addition, he has
executed several large-scale com-missions
for architectural spaces.

Enrollment Increases
Total enrollment at UNC-G has
increased above 10,000 again this
fall to a headcount total of 10,090.
This marks a gain of 166
students-a 1.7 percent increase-over
last fall's figure of 9,924.
The final figure marks a reversal
of gradual decline in the Universi-ty's
headcount over the past three
years. Fall enrollment figures
preceding 1983 were: 1982-83,
10,126; 1981-82, 10,201; 1980-81,
10,390; and 1979-80, 9,925.
"The official enrollment numbers
that are now in are encouraging to
the University community," said
Chancellor William E. Moran. "This
year's figures reverse last year's
decline, especially at the graduate
level. The largest freshman class in
the history of the University is a
source of special satisfaction also.
Faculty and staff have worked
vigorously and effectivey toward
this end and they deserve a lot of
credit."
Registrar Hoyt Price said he
thinks the increase in students can
be attributed, in part, to additional
efforts by the University in both
recruiting and retention of
students. He also cited the record
size of the freshman class with
1,584 students.
However, the biggest increase
came at the graduate degree level
where the University has 2,764
students, as compared to 2,598 last
year. The increase of 166 students
there amounts to a 6.3 percent
jump. The graduate students in-clude
238 doctoral degree
candidates.
Undergraduate enrollment re-mained
exactly the same this fall—
with 7,325 students—as compared
to a year earlier. Class sizes are:
freshmen, 1,584; sophomores, 1609;
juniors, 1,921; seniors, 1,880. In ad-dition,
the University has 432
special and unclassified students.
Black enrollment increased from
984 last fall to 1,032 this semester,
marking a 4.9 percent increase.
Total minority enrollment is 1,315,
as compared to 1,271 last fall.
The out-of-state headcount rose
from 1,201 last year to 1,231 this
semester. That amounts to 2.5 per-cent
increase.
The headcount figure this fall in-cludes
3,234 men and 6,856 women.
Last fall, UNC-G had 3,217 men
and 6,707 women.
Professors Named Fellows
Three psychologists from UNC-G
have been named "fellows" of the
American Psychological Associa-tion,
an honor which is bestowed on
only about six percent of the
organization's 58,000 members.
They are: Professors Dr. Aaron J.
Brownstein and Dr. Richard L.
Shull. and associate professor Dr.
Steven C. Hayes. The honors were
announced at the annual meeting of
the APA, held in late August in
Toronto, Canada. The three were
elected from the APA's division of
experimental analysis of behavior,
or Division 26.
For psychologists to be named
"fellows" in the APA, they must be
experienced scientists who have
shown "evidence of unusual and
outstanding contribution or perfor-mance
in the field of psychology,"
according to the organization's
bylaws.
"This is definitely an honor and
a very special one for these faculty
members," said Dr. Gilbert Got-tlieb,
head of the Department of
Psychology at UNC-G. "The
designation of fellows is always bas-ed
on outstanding professional per-formance,
and it's very unusual that
all three were named in the same
division of the APA."
The three psychologists from
UNC-G were the only "fellows"
named this year from the APA's
Division 25.
Dr. Brownstein joined the UNC-G
faculty in 1968. A graduate of
City College of New York, he holds
the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from
the University of Missouri. He is
currently serving a two-year term
as editor-elect of "The Behavior
Analyst," a professional journal of
the Society for the Advancement of
Behavior Analysis.
Dr. Hayes came to UNC-G in
1976. He received his B.A. degree
from Loyola University and his
M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from West
Virginia University. He is the
author of three books and is a past
associated editor of the "Journal of
Applied Behavior Analysis." He has
published numerous articles in pro-fessional
journals as well.
Dr. Shull joined the UNC-G facul-ty
in 1969. A graduate of Brown
University, he holds the Ph.D.
ittgrofi from Arizona State Univer-sity.
He is serving on the board of
editors of the "Journal of Ex-perimental
Analysis of Behavior"
and is director of the Society for the
Experimental Analysis of Behavior.
