Fred Chappell Named
Bollingen Prize Winner

Fred Chappell an English pro-fessor
at the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro, hat been
named one of two winners of the
1985 Bollingen Prize in Poetry of
the Yale University Library, one of
the nation's most distinguished
literary honors.
The announcement of the honor
was made Tuesday afternoon,
January 15, by Millicent D. Abel),
librarian of Yale University.
Selected along with Chappell, a
native of Canton, N.C, was poet
John Ashbery of New York, the
1976 Pulitrer Prize winner in
Poetry. Chappell and Ashbery will
split a $5,000 cash award.
The selection committee for this
year's prize were: Louis Rubin, a
■literary critic of Chapel Hill; Annie
Dillard, a poet of Middletown,
Conn.; and Richard Howard, a poet
of New York City.
In making the award to Chappell,
the judges commented: "Fred
Chappell writes of the complexity
and intimacy of daily life—an
American middle-class life that is
heightened with the definition and
clarity of important vision without
falsifying an essentially vernacular
assertion of language. Powerfully.
almost rigidly control|ed in design,
his poems move with an ease of dic-tion
that carries the reader along in-to
very different kinds of
experience."
"I'm just pleased, thrilled, flat-tered
and a little bit frightened,"
Chappell said. "I'm just kind of
overwhelmed. I was just sitting in
my office, and I got some good
news. I'm just very grateful. I do
hope this will call attention to the
very fine writing program we have
here at the University."
The Bollingen Prize is awarded
every two years to one or more liv-ing
American poets for the best col-lection
published in that period, or
for a body of poetry written over
several years. Chappell and
Ashbery become the 32nd and 33rd
winners of the prize since it was
established at the Yale University
Library in 1949. Previous winners
of the Bolligen Prize include such
well-known poets as Robert Frost,
e.e. cummings, Archibald Macleish,
Robert Penn Warren, Hay Swen-son,
W.H. Auden, Theodore
Roethke, Mona Van Duyn, Conrad
Aiken and Allen Tat*.
"All of us who know Fred and his
work are delighted but not surpris-ed
by the Bollingen Prise," said
UNC-G Chancellor William E.
day festival at Emory and Henry
College in Emory, VA, was devoted
to Chappell's work.

Moran.
"This prestigious award for
poetry is all the more impressive in
that Fred Chappell writes extraor-dinary
prose as well," Dr. Moran
continued. "As an artist and
teacher, he is a prised member of
this University's faculty. This
award caps several other honors of
recent months that have cited the
literary achievements of Fred
Chappell. It is both encouraging and
statisfying to note that his ac-complishments
are now getting the
national attention that they merit."
Dr. Robert 0. Stephens, chairman
of UNC-G's Department of English,
echoed the chancellor's comments.
"What is really remarkable is that
Fred is now arriving on the national
scene. He has gotten a lot of
Southern recognition, but now his
is getting national recognition," Dr.
Stephens said.
"This recognition also shows that
Fred is continuing the tradition of
fine writers that have been
associated with UNC-G," including
the late Randall Jarrell, a well-known
poet who received the Na-tional
Book Award in 1961, he
added.
A member of the UNC-G faculty
since 1964, Chappell also is a noted
novelist, short story writer, essayist
and critic. This past October, a two-issue
of "Abatis One," the literary
magazine published by the
Humanities Division of the Univer-sity
of Tampa, FL, focused on
Chappell and his work. Most recent-ly,
a special issue of "Mississippi
Quarterly: The Journal of Southern
Culture" was dedicated to his work.
At UNC-G, Chappell teaches
creative writing and literature. His
fifth novel, / Am One Of You
Forever, will be published in May by
Louisiana State University Press.
His eight books of poetry include a
tetralogy, Midqueat, The World Bet-ween
The Eyes and Cattle Zingoi.
Another book of poetry, Source, is
scheduled for publication in 1986.
He has had one collection of short
stories, Moments ofLight, publish-ed,
and another collection, Waltzes
Noble and Sentimental, is pending
approval for publication. A past
recipient of the North Carolina
State Award in Literature, Chap-pell
received his B.A. and MA.
degrees from Duke University.
The Bollingen Prize was
established at the Yale University
Library by the Bollingen Founda-tion,
which was created by Paul
Mellon, a 1929 graduate of Yale, for
support of learning in the
humanities. The prize was awarded
annually from 1949 until 1962, and
then in 1965 it was placed on a bien-nial
basis with a $5,000 award.

Ed Radwanski
Radwanski Wins Accolades
BY BOB PEARSON
Saerti Editor
Ed Radwanski works summers at
the NASL Tampa Bay Rowdies soc-cer
camp. So when UNC-G travel-ed
down to Florida for a pair of con-tests
earler in the year, the two-time
Ail-American was more than
ready to play well in front of his
Tampa comrades.
But it was just not in the cards for
either Radwanski or the Spartans
at this point in the season. Radwan-ski
was still hampered by a nagging
foot injury that slowed down his
ability to cut and wave on the field
and UNC-G, who played well, could
not avoid suffering a loss and a tie
against their Floridian opponents.
Although the contests were against
two of the finest soccer schools in
the land, it still had to be a
frustrating time for both the Spar-tans
and Mr Radwanski.
However, UNC-G's eleven quick-ly
rebounded, eventually finishing
as one of the top eight teams in the
nation in Division III. 17 wins were
tallied against three losses and a
pair of ties, another Dixie Con-ference
title was added to the grow-ing
collection and the Spartans
were able to maintain a Number 1
ranking in the ISAA national poll all
season.
After the last game was played,
post season laurels started flowing
in. And, of course, Mr. Radwanski
recieved his share of individual
honors in recognition of his stellar
performance—1st team All-Dixie,
All-South and All-America. He also
finished as UNC-G's all-time leader
in assists with 35.
But according to Radwanski, the
icing on the cake came in the form
of a selection to the Senior Bowl.
For those not familiar with the
Senior Bowl, it comprises a gather-ing
of the best soccer players in the
nation for any and all Divisions.
So you might say that Radwanski
should be satisfied with his col-legiate
career. You might say that
he had already "proven who he
was." The Senior Bowl would be a
nice little extra in a very successful
career.
But Ed was not and probably
never will be, as with any true
athlete, ready to sit back and rest
on past accomplishments. Instead,
Ed looked at the game as a "time
to show who you really are. It is the
kind of game where great players
show through."
Radwanski, who was recently
chosen as one of the top ten players
of 1984 in Soccer America, geared
himself for the big match. Before
the contest, Ed said he felt "ner-vous
of the opportunity in front of
me. There were pro scouts and the
U.S. National coach was there."
But m the game progressed, it
became quite clear that Radwanski
was channeling his nervousness
productively. That productivity
came in the form of offensive-punch
as the Spartan senior scored one
goal and assisted on another to lead
the West to a 2-0 victory over the
East in front 2,649 spectators.
Pat Miller, a forward from
UCLA, assisted Radwanski on his
goal at the 40:43 mark to put the
West ahead 1-0. Radwanski took a
pass from Miller near the left post
and headed the ball past East
keeper Jim Leahy, who was named
the Outstanding Defensive Player
of the game.
"Pat was patient, relaxed," said
Radwanski. "I was timing my run
and when I was about 20 yards from
the near post, that's when I made
my move. I said, 'Near post,' and he
responded. He put the ball there
and I finished." Radwanski later
returned the favor, assisting on a
goal by UCLA's Miller.
Later in the night, Radwanski
received the Outstanding Offensive
Player award. Ed had risen from
the ranks of Division III to give the
big boys a lesson in how to play the
game of soccer in his final collegiate
performance. "This game couldn't
have capped off my college career
any better," said Radwanski. "It
was one of my best performances
ever at the right time."
