has heen named .\lo. I in its cattgory by U.S. News & World Report for the founh year in a row.The magazine"s Sept. I issue ranks UR as the hcst university in the Southern region t:R has been included among the nation"s best in every issue since the maga. ~jnc hcgan the survey in I983.

UR's reputational rating in its category, 3.6 out of 4.0, was the highest of any school in any region The University also was ranked the 10th "bt:st value" in its category, even when ranked against public institutions.Tilt: best values rankings were dn' iscd to provide a realistic measure of where students can get the best education for the money, the magazint: says 'Ille 4uality mnkings appeared in the Sept. 8 issue.

Also,in the magazint:"s guidebook, a prospective student and his family were photographed walking across the UR and Princeton campu,;es on admissions tours Tht: University also got a good report from The Fiske Guide to Colleges. "the highest-rated guide to the best and most interesting colleges inAmerica ·· Richmond once again was one of the Fiske guide's 42 "Ikst Buys."Twenty-onc public and 21 private colleges and universities were so designated Combining cost data with academic and otht:r information about each college and university, the guide recommends the best 42 bargains. Other private college "best buys" include Baylor, Rke , University of the South and Trinity (Texas) Ille flske guidt: says of UR: "Thanks to the generous gift of the late E. Claiborne Robins. an alumnus and CEO of a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company_ th e business of learning is

school with a lot of money and they use it to improve the students' lives,' says an American studies junior.

Small classes and ahundant interaction with professors arc just a few of the perks of being a Richmond Spider."

"Students rave about faculty members. 'Friendly, positive and exuberant attitudes in the faculty members have meshed well in complementing my learning abilities and habits," quips a political science major.A classmatt' adds that professors 'allow for a fun , two-way, interactive process of learning.' Opportunities for internships in Richmond arc plentiful, and students take an activt: role in the communitv."

The l'rin~·eton Rei1·ew also reports high marks for the Univcrsitv from its student body,:"Studcnt;; rave about tht: quality of education here:'Richmond's professors arc very accessible and personal.They excel in their respective fields and arc excellent facilitators and scholars J\.ly experience at UR has been fabulous .'"

UR r-ankcd number one in the country in the Review in the "Qu~litv of Student I.ifc C:ategory~based on "Srudents' overnll happiness, the bcautr, safety, and location of the campus. comfort of dorms, food qualitr, and case in dealing with the administration."

Richmond also was 11th in "Schools Run Like Butter," seventh in "Beautiful Campus," and 14th in "Great Food."

Dr. Mofti{f call~

Whitehurst the "living room for Richmond

College."

The Richmond College side of campus will soon have the recrtation and smdy space it lacks. An 11,000square-foot building under constmction will provide these facilities when completed in the summer of 1998.

Located in front of Frteman lfalLWhitehurst is named for John D.\':;rhitehurst, R'27 and 1'31.A generous gift from his estate made the building possible, says D. Chris Withers, vice president for development/ university relations UR prt;idem Richard L. Morrill calls Whitehurst the "living room for Richmond College." It will offer study and recreation space for students as well as space for the Richmond College dean's office staff.

Recreation space on the first floor ofWhitehurst will be similar to a "sports bar but without the beer,"' says Richard A. Mateer, dean of Richmond College. It will have pool tables, air hockey, suspended televisions and limited food service.And adjacent to the "sports bar" there will be a vending area open to students 24 hours a day.

A seminar room and a meeting room will be used for classes during the day and as meeting space for student organizations in the evening. A larger room which Mateer calls a "living room" with comfortable furniture can be converted to a presentation room for 150. In all three rooms students will be able to plug in laptop computers and have access to the Universiry·s network.

The second floor of che 52.6 million building will house study areas for individuals and groups that will be accessible 24 hours a day, as well as offices for the Richmond College dean and his staff.

Whitehurst will provide much-needed social and study space for students, says Mateer, who envisions the building improving the quality of communicr on the Richmond College campus "It will create a meeting space for students not in the <~reek ~-ystem," Mateer says, "and it will serve as a place where students-both male and female-can meet each other. It will act as a bridge between academic and social life" While Whitehurst will fit in with the existing Richmond College architecture, it also will be distinctive in des ign, says architect Charles Piper, who worked 011 the project with the firm of Marcellus Wright, Cox and Smith.The most unique design element will be the building's clock tower, the only one on the UR campus.

The architecture of the building was inspired by the "master·s lodge" or "gatehouse" at the colleges of the classic English universities

Program improves safety UR police have enlisted the lntcrnct in their ongoing effort to keep the UR campus safe and peaceful.

A progrnm called "Silent Witness" that allows people on-campus and off to provide anonymous tips about illegal acthitics via their personal computers is off and running and attracting nationwide attention .

The Wall Street Jounial, USit Toda;• and the Associated Press all have written up the innovative program, which is "an Internet version of 'Crime Stoppers,"' according to Officer Donald R. Childers, who originally proposed the idea.And other campus police departments have contacted UR police to help them develop their own programs.

The way it works is that the University Police's home page provides a form on which tipsters can provide information on when, where and why they believe a crime occurred on campus.

What has made it successful, police believe, is that it is encrypted so anyone logging in is identified as "Nobody."That means the witness cannot be identified to police or to the sus· pected law breaker.

"It puts you in control," Robert C. Dillard, UR police chief, says. "If someone wishes to report a crime, he or she remains anonymous and can report it from any computer that has access to the Internee Dillard says response has exceeded all expectations. Students used the program so often so soon police weren't prepared for the volume of information." Evcrything we have received on it has been good, solid information;· he says.

Dillard says he believes UR is the first campus police department IO develop such a program One campus which modeled its version on UR's made an arrest from a tip before the progr.im even had been publidy launched, Dillard says. Crime l'revenlion News called it a "model program."

While UR ranks far dmvn on the list of crime statistics reported by the nation's colleges and universities, Dillard emphasizes that his police force is determined to stay ahead of the statistics.

Childers says that 80-85 percent of the tips concern dnigs.Tips have led to the arrest of people involved in eight major dmg-dcaling groups in the Richmond area. Three students were indicted on marijuana trafficking charges.

Another Internet project allows .~tudents to register serial numbers of property such as TVs, stereos and bikes.

oday, in this remote village, where pigs outnumber people and horsedrawn carriages are more common than cars, the after-school English program of the Guzsalyas Art Foundation is flourishing.111anks to Budner and the Richmond graduates who ha\'e followed in his footsteps, the children of Ket~oprony are receiving an important link to the modem world through the English language.

"For a lot of these children stud)ing English is more than just an academic exercise," says Brian Kaye, AR'97, Ketsoprony's current English teacher. "It is the best-and perhaps the only---door to opportunities in Western culture."

The experience has also opened doors for Richmond alumni, pro\'iding a unique op1mnunity 10 shape the future of a small, post-communist community.

In 1995, the Uni\'crsityofRichmond and the city council of KCtsoprony signed a fonnal agreement which facilitates participation by UR alumni in the \'illage's English program.

Under this agreement, the office of international education and the career development center at the University promote Kctsoprony's English program; in return, KCtsoprony's city council pledges money to support the program and its 1eachers.

Dr. Uliana Gabarn, the Uni\'ersitv's associate provost for international Cducation, admits she was initially skeptical. '"I thought it was a long shot that I could produce a student every year for this program in the boonies of Hungary," she says. "I've been delighted to be proven wrong."'

The office of international education now serves as an infonnation clearinghouse and faxingcenterforstudentsinterestedin teaching in KCtsoprony. Last year, Kaye found himselfretumingtotheofficeagainand again to read through the KCtsopronyfile: .. Walking along Kitsopro11y's 'main drag' I dodge stray hens and chicke11s, smile al ntddy-Jacedfarmers as IIJeJ' drill() their horse-draw11 carriages loaded with com, peptX!rs, or potatoes, rmd stop to smell Ibe brilliant roses that clutter Kitsoprony's garde11s, .. wrote Erin Kenny, AW'96, during her experience teaching therelas1year.

"I pass houses adorned with stri11gs of bright paprika, like wide smiles along a dull cement uwll, rmdfieldsoflateblooming sunflowers. There is beauty in open spaces bere, so different from the mountain euphoria Ifi11d in the America11 West or the slow roll of Virginia's Blue Ridge, but still striking.,.

•·1 just kept finding myself reading those letters," Kaye, a political science and intemational studies major, remembers.

"I just went in and started teaching English," he says. ""There was a lot of repetition involved. But by the end of that first Jleriod, I had them saying who they were-in English."

It took about three months for Budner to become comfortable in the classroom. '"Sometimes I felt like I was beating my he-Jd against the wall," he admits. ·'But then I would see the kids out in the community using what they had learned in class, and it was very rewarding."

America's Wild ire.st u·as the themeofllollyPayne's summer English camp i11Ju11e 1995.

"And the more I thought about it the more it made sense ... to buy a one-way ticket there."

In late August, Kaye arrived in KCtsoprony, the sixth recent University of Richmond graduate to journey to the remote llungarian village to teach English.

From the beginning, KCtsoprony·s English progrnm was destined to become a University of Richmond outpost: Budner refused to let the work he put into developing Ketsoprony's fledgling English program go to was1e. "If we were going to go through all this and set this progrnm up, I wanted to make sure that someone would continue it," he explains. '"I didn"t want to leave KCtsoprony high and dry."

udner had traveled to Hungary in October 1993, while on leave from the University of Richmond, to fulfill the study-abroad requirement for an international studies major. With no pre\ious teaching experience and anned \\~th only a few Hungarian phrases learned from his grandfather, Budner entered the classroom.On hisfirstdayofte-Jching,he was faced with IS ll ungarian kindergartners.

Budner taught about 60 students, from kindergarten through eighth grade, fo r 12 hours a week. Classes were held at the Guzsalyas Art foundalion, established in 1990 to promote Hungarian culture and crafts. In 1993, English lessons were added when Budner arrived. '"KCtsopronyisa\·eryruralcommunity," Budner says. "'l'eople were shocked that there wa~ ru1 English teacher there. But we ended up developing one of the best English programs in Hungary."

To this agricultural village of 1,600, located about three-and-a-half hours away from Budapest, English is a way to bridge the gap with the rest of the world. English is an opportunity for a better life in an area where opportunities are few. '"Theonlyprimaryschool inthevillage couldn't arrange for IEnglish instruction] because it is a Slovakian nationality school," explains Szak Kocsis Kristza, director of the Guzsalr.LS Ans Foundation and founder of its English program. ""Considering the geographic disadvantage of IKetsoprony], it ha~

Within a few months ofBudner's arrival, word of the Gm.~alyas English progmm spread throughout the region. Budncr soon found himself with a second job: tc-.iching English to former Russian teachers in a neighboring city.

She longed to re-live that experience, to be part of history once again.

"I wanted to be part of something that could help a post-communist country better assimilate into a 'democratic' world,•· says the journalism major. "I realized these people needed help, but I ne\·cr knew how muchhclpuntil l arrivcdinKCtsoprony."

Like Budner, l'a}11e had no previous experience cc-.1cl1ing. lier knowledge of llungarian, a notoriously difficult language, consisted of two essential phrases: "Where·s the bathroom?'' and .. Mav I ha\'e a beer?..

Still, she plunged right in-, building on the framework Budncr had erected.

"I was a little intimidated at first hut I also knew these kids loved English and lo\'ed to play games,·· she says. "My goal was just to make them enjoy it.'· In addition to teaching about 120 children, Payne also staned an English groupforthcchildrcn·s parent~.

DuringPaync'stcnure,theagrecment between Kctsoprony and the Uni\•crsity of Richmond was finally signed. "A lot of people in the village already knew about theprogram, butforKristzatheagreement wasrcallysignifican1,··shesays."Jtmcant that something that was just an idea was being solidified."

In Bckl-s, a rural Imm of about 25,000, Lipscomb faced myriad obstacles as she established an English program for the town government. ··it was a constant struggle to keep it alive," she says. "The program itself was very new and the go,·ernment wa~ in tunnoil. Shortly after I left, the communist government was re-elected and they did away with the program.·· fa•en so, Lipscomb says the hard work was well worth it. ·'I went mer there to teach but I feelthatbybeingthcre llearncdsomuch about myself and learned so much from my studcnts,'"shcsays.

t is bccomi.ng incrc-.isingl.y common for University of Richmond graduates to pursue such non-tmd1tional opponunit1cs as KCtsoprony·s English progmm. ··we have so many student~ now who go on to various places to tc-.ich English,"'Gabarasays. ··we have more students going into the Peace Corps and appl}ing for Fulbright Scholarships. The Universityhasbeenchanging, sometimes faster than the world around it. I think we ha\·e become a truly international uni\'Crsity. •· Graduates arc often dmwn to these progr.ims out of a desire to comribme to a rapidly changing world. "It was rewarding to he able to tc-.1cl1 the children that tht.jl were the futu re of their country and how important lcarningEnglish\\'as,'" Payne says. "These people had so little and ga\'e me so much " "All of them say they got more out of it than they contributed,"' Gabara says of KCtsoprony·s English teachers. "But a lot of them may also ha\'e underestimated their contributions.

"They were able to con\'ey more than just the English language. Thc..,1 hm·e taught

people that they are not necessarily trapped in their set of circumstances. It wi!I he imeresting in a fow years to see how KCt~oprony has changed because of this."

T

he program has certainly had a profound effect on the lives of the teachers themselves. Matt Washhurn, AR'95, who taught in KCtsoprony through August 1996, has spent the pas! year working for a German wheelchair manufacturer in Croatia. lie is now planning to apply to Central European University in Budapest, with the goal of becoming a university professor.

Budner, who works as a care specialist with the division of child and adolescent psychiatry at Virginia Commonwealth University's Medical College of Virginia, plans someday to repeat the challenge of making a contribution in anotherculture. lle's attracted especially to a country with a

difficult language, such as Taiwan. "There are a lot of opportunities in these areas for young Westerners with a sense of ingenuity and a desire to do something," he says.

Payne, who is a graduate student in the University of California's professional writing program, is considering a career as a creative writing teacher. "The experience really shifted me," she says. " My time in llungary was well worth it. It was not a sacrifice, it was a stepping stone."

This summer, Lipscomb began a graduate program at the University of Virginia to enter a career as a teacher of English as a Second l.anguage. "It is so rewarding to work with student~," she says. "Before I went to Hungary I had never considered that I would be a teacher. But the experience you have being a teacher, being able to help people fulfill their goals and realize their dreamsyou just can't beat it. " Kenny, who wrote so L'vocatively of KCtsoprony's simple beauty, spent the summer backpacking through the Balkans and visiting Israel and Egnit. She hopes to secure a position teaching English in Macedonia for at least part of next year. 'Tm nowhere near ready to return," she says. ''These students don't sec themselves preparing for a narrow professional life but for the flexibility to plunge imo a situation where they can use a \"ery broad set of skills," GabarJ. says. "All of this, I think, is essential to the world in which they will be living."

Where in the world is Ketsoprony?

Life in Kfuoprony is hardly glamorous but it's not without perks--especiallyifyou like pork. In this small rural village where pig.~ outnumber people, pork appears on the dinner table nightly.

Besides the dietary differences, UR alumni had few complaints about Ketsoprony. As a tenn of their contract v;ith the Guszalyas Foundation, the English teachers are pro\·ide<l with a fully furnished four-room flat, complete

Virginia 13rinkJey Modlin is remembered here through the voices of a few of those whose lives she touched.

Enjoying time with friends I came to the University in "37; the Modlins came in '38 and I've knovm them t'ver since.

[Mrs. Modlin] was perfectly lovely in every way. She nt·ver said anything critical of anyone. She was modest and unassuming.

When I first knew them, they lived in an apartment off Grove Avenue. She had beautiful taste and seemed to have lots of friends. She took part in more University funttions than anybody could possibly have wanted to. She was a wonderful hostess.

Dr. Edward Peple, R'32, professor of English, emeritus

Creating beauty at home She said to me once, "Myhome is my hobby."

Virginia"s creation ofbc-,mty in her lovely home was an extension of her channing and gracious hospitality.

Virginia Modlin and I had many years of happy association.

Frances Anderson Stallard, W'28, 1175 and a UR tmstee

Welcoming newcomers She wa~ a great lady, a cla~sic lady. She depicted C);actly what a president's wife of her era should he.

I remember the gracious way she reached out to newcomers. When we came I found her very accessible to faculty wives. We all knew her; it was a small place hack then.

We were not in awe of her but appreciated who she was.

She wa~ very unassuming, and always supremely courteous, as people of that era often were. One dling I recall was that she always gave people her name, as if one might not instantly know who she was. [mil she was certain you knew her, she never waited for you to speak her namefirs1.

There was always a sense of intimacy about her dinner parties, and her home was frequently open. J"ve appreciated

many things about her, not just during those early years hut through the ages . .. because she was the kind of person who didn't lose touch. She would remember you and support vou. I miss her. · Jean Hart, wife of!Jr. Philip R. Hart, R'45, professor ofreligion, emeritus

Cooking for students She was very humhle and very grateful.

You could take her one rose and she appreciated it as much as if you 'd given her a million dollars. She appreciated the little things: the birds outside her window, her flowers, needlepoint, cooking. She was a fantastic cook.

Dr. Modlin liked to tell about how she would invite a lot of studenL~ over to dinner and, rather than having something catered for them, she'd just go in the kitchen and whip up the meal herself. '•'J11ey can eat in the cafeteria every day or eat in a restaurant anytime," he'd quote her as telling him, "but they can't get home cooking so they're going to get it here."

Whenever he would tell some little affectionate story about her like that, she would say, "Oh, George, just stop:· Olga Vance, secretary to Dr. Modlin in the chancellors office

Helping behind the scenes 1946 [when Dr. Modlin became president l was a time of particular challenge and transition. We were enrolling numbers of older veterans, in addition to fresh-faced kids. Times were tight. We were hounded by a lack of resources. We all became vCI)' close in that period, and Mrs. Modlin set a standard.

I remember she once sent me a check and said, "Hold onto this until you see a need, and then use it." I knew she meant a

non-academic need. She would often dig down into her own pocket when she learned of a Westhampton girl who didn't have mont'Y for a dress for a special occa~ion. All her good works were sub rosa. She wouldn't Like me to be revealing them, even now Dr. CJ. Gray, R'JJ,professorofmodern foreign languages, emeritus, and dean of tidminfrtration, emeritus

Talcing interest in children Dr. Modlin depended ve11· much on her reactions to things. She supported whatever acthities he had going. They were a lovely couple.

Some sayshewa.s shy, but I didn't see that. I found her to be a lot of fun. We laughed a lot. People were close on campus in those days, because we had in common not just the University but the war.

She and l volumcered at the canteen during World War II. We went down to the train station and passed coffee and doughnuts through the train windows to soldiers.

She always took a great interest in children and gave mine Christmas tree ornament~ each year when they were small.

Last Christmas my son and his family pointed out to me on their tree the ornaments from Mrs. Modlin, still trea~ured after all these years.

Welcoming the next president I met her on March 26, l 97 l, when we came here in about 15 inches of snow. The Board of Trustees had elected us and gone home.

Mrs. Modlin had asked Dr. Leftwich to bring us to the Modlin home, and we had a delightful afternoon visit with them. From that poim on they were wonderful ~ friends.

Distant Campus

Electric ~ttee©r line~~ generations to the U111vers1ty

Probably everybody who visits the University of Richmond notices the brick bus shelter at one of the entrances to the campus. It's hard not to, because for something so utilitarian the shelter is exceptionally sturdy and attractive.

Most observers probably don't know that the shelter didn't begin its existence as a bus shelter. It originally was a streetcar stop, and now it's one of the few reminders of a longgone public transportation system.

According to family tradition, Ramsl1·- !ater a Baptist minister in Virginia-earned his way by working on the streetcar. (Today, greatgranddaughter Elizabeth Haine;; Rickert is a memher of the Class of2001.)

And, long commutes allowed people a chance to 1isi1 and to become friends.

Smart's research interest~, dating from his graduate school days at Ila1'-ard (Ph.D., 1935) were slime molds, those myxomycetes existing on the border between the plant and animal kingdoms.

Teaching marketing Dr. M. Wayne De Lozier, 8'67, had just had a "great" day, As Distinguished Professor of ,\tarkcting in a state university in Louisiana, Delozier felt he already had "sold"himself at the opening of the fall semester when, after his first class in consumer behavior, a student had commented to him, "I loved your (.,'x;11nples in class.

They were funny and interesting and good."

"And that made me feel good," he says.

Marketing was the last career that Delozier would have considered when he transferred from Georgia Tech, where he had dreamed of becoming an astronaut but scored too low in his mechanical aptitude test, to the University of Richmond for his sophomore year. But now he is very pleased with his choice.

"Marketing," he says, "touches every life. It goes beyond Procter and Gamble and detergents.

Churches market themselves; so do states and politicians and cities like New Orleans. I was convinced at Richmond that marketing is a way of helping people and I find that very rewarding.

"I show the students that marketing is an exchange process which happens every day to everybody."

He 1hrows our a standard question:"What is the oldest profession in the world? "Thc answer is always "prostitution."

"I tell them that the oldest profession is marketing because that is what is being done.The prostitutes arc offering a product (a service), a place, a pricing scheme and promotion. In marketing, we call that the'4 Ps.' It's a way of getting students to realize that marketing is universal and a part of our lives."

Delozier, a Newport News, Va. , native, has taught marketing in a number universities and has written or coauthored a dozen textbooks on the subject. Each year the Academy of Marketing Science presents the ~M.Wayne Delozier Best Paper in Marketing" award to the author of the conference's best paper.

He's currently teaching at the Nicholls State University College ofBusinessAdministration in Thidodaux, La., a community of 7,200-with an equal number of students-which is only

60 minutes from New Orleans, where he plans to join the newlyfunned UR alumni chapter.

He has fond memories of UR and adds he would return to Richmond~in a skinny second" ifhe had an opportunity to teach there Of all the campuses I have seen," he comments, "Richmond's is the most beautiful."

First guided into economics

by Dr. Herman P. Thomas, DeLozier found a mentor in Dr.John B. Stewart,professor of business administration, who taught him that marketing is not only an honor.iblc profession but also a "Christian" one.

"Dcing a Christian is very important to me," he says."lt's importam because it means loving everyone, no matter the race or creed. I believe in that totally."

Upon graduation Delozier, who finished second in his class and was the recipient of the CharlesT. Norman Medal for the best graduate in business administration, received some tempting offers from business. Dr. Stewart and business school dean Dr. David Robbins had other ideas, however; they cornered him and told him he was going for his Ph.D.He was able to skip the master's program en route to his doctorate in business administration from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

At Richmond, Delozier was chairman of 1he Honor Council and a member of ODK and Beta Gamma Sigma. He enjoyed the camaraderie on the campus,something he felt lacking in his one teaching foray in the North. He found one of his greatest pleasures in the UR Men's Glee Club which took him to the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York and, perhaps, steered him to his yen to travel.

"I love ro travel," he says, "and have visited 29 countries. I love all the cultures of the world."

Delozier, divorced from his high school sweetheart whom he married just before his senior year at UR, also speaks glowingly of his daughter, Bethany Padgett, who lives in Florida with her husband,John, and 18-month-old daughter, Savannah.

He is willing to consider a professional move (isn't that a marketing ploy?) but adds,"wherever I go, it will be in the South.~ •

Prehn followed in her foots1eps, earning a master's degree and a Ph.D. in P~l'chology. He had met his wife Alina at LSU graduate school and so there are two P~l'chologists in the family. She practiced until 1heir first son, Rohert, 12, was born, then she became a full-time mom. Other children arc J\.lichae!, 10; Isabella, 7; and Harrison, 3.

It was in graduate school that Prehn found himself more drawn to administration than the clinical side of his studies but still retained his interest in "psych" hospitals.

After a stint in Louisiana, the Prehns lived for almost a decade in Wilmington, N.C., where he was administrator of the Oaks Psychiatric Hospital and also caught in the ps~•chology depanment of the University of Nonh Carolina-Wilmington.

He became senior administrator of the specialty hospital division of New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington in 1993 and WJS president of the North Carolina chapter of the Association of Mental Health Administrators. lie moved on and upward to Lafayette, La.,in 1995.

Being a hospital administrator in the mental health field in Louisiana is one of his toughest assignments, Prehn says.

Bur that's exactly what Angie Bauer did in the summerof1991 A~ a public health adviser for the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), Bauer,W'91 , was assigned to the ScxuaUyTransmitted Disease Control Program in Long Beach, Calif. , right out of school.

"I intenic..>wcd patients diagnosed with sexually transmim:d diseases, educated them about their diseases, provided prevention information and followed up with their sexual contacts," she explains Bauer found herself knocking on the doors of all types of people-"often in pretty bad neighborhoods~-asking complete Strangers very personal questions, telling them in not-sermany words that they had been exposed to AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases, drawing their blood for tests at local clinics.

Now a public health adviser for the CDC's National Immunization Program, assigned to Nt:w Orleans, Bauer remembers that first job-one that most of us wouldn't take for any amount of moneyas "the cookst thing ever."

"I don't know why, but I was nc:vc:r scared.

Systemsonth.eSignetBank accoum.Heisalsostud)ingfor Perhaps it was because I was a good mix of being a an MBA from VU!. little bit naive and a little bit hold. I just went where I JenniferRhudy, AW,received had to go and did what I had to do.~ hermaster"sdegreein Bauer, who grew up inAlabama, Ohio and languagcsfrom••airfiel<l L.in fairfield, Conn Connecticut, had medical school in mind when she Kate Wl1eeler, AW, has been came to UR.A University Scholar, she had a double te-M:hingEnglish inEcua<lor major in biology and psychology and a minor in sinccSep1embcr1996and women'sstudit:s. planned1oretumhornethis Her participation in UR's Women Involved in pascsummer.

to be other pt:oplc out there."

She found pknty in ht:r 18 months in California and again when the CDC transferred her to Nt:w York City to work with the Tuberculosis Control Program.

From 1993 to 1996she worked in three of New York's five boroughs as a case worker and a supervisor, always remaining·on the streets."

Herworktht:rccentered around educating patients about tuberculosis, dealing with their sociaJ problems, and ensuring that they were taking their medications once they were dischargc:d from a hospital. She especially enjoyed tracking down people who might have: been exposed to1TI; it was one of the best parts of the job, she recalls. "I often felt like a private invc:stigator."

In 1996 Bauer's rc:sponsibilitics at the CDC shifted away from the "service delivc:ry" work of the streets when she was transferred to New Orleans. Her current position includes administering the Vaccines for Children program and working to ere-ate a statewide information system to put children·s immunization histories onlinc:.

While working in New York, Hauer began a mastc:r's degree in health systems management at Columbia University. She transferred to Tulane's School of Public Health when she moved to New Orleans and expects to complete her dc:gree in December.

Although she's busy with her master's degree and her job, Bauc:r also is helping to start a new UR alumni chapter in New Orleans. She hosted an alumni gathering this spring and will be assisting witl1 other activities in the area this fall.

In her carc:er, Bauer secs herself heading toward the policy making and management kvel of the public health system. Because of her experience, she says she understands the importance of coordinating the needs of the population's health~the uninsured as wdl as the insured.

"TI1crc arc a lot of people out there to whom health just is not that important.It's important for public heaJth management to have scrn that, IO have worked at that lowest level. 1,et's face itt sht: says,"knocking on people's doors is as basic as you can get.''

THE GIFTS OF THE WIZARD Near the end of 7be Wizard of Oz, after "liquidating" the Wicked Witch, Dorothy stands before the Wizard and asks him to

send her back to Kansas. Oz puts her off: "Come back comorrow."Whcn she balks, Oz bellows, '·Do you presume to criticize the great and powerful Wizard of Oz? " Just then,Toto tugs at a black curtain and exposes a little balding man. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain .. .."

With righteous anger, Dorothy exclaims, "You're a very bad man." Chagrined, Oz

responds,"Oh no, my dear, l'm a very good man. I'm just a very had wizard."

Why is a law professor telling this old story to new law school graduates? I

think Oz teaches us, as lawyers, an important lesson. The law may be a fearsome and mysterious thing co clients.

Too often as lawyers we find it convenient to keep things that way. "Come back tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turns out.""Pay no attention to what happens behind the conference room doors."

If you ever fed such wizardry creeping into your law practice, let me offer a solution. Take a client to lunch. (Make sure you pay for the lunch .)Ask him how he feels about your work.Ask if she understands why the lawsuit is taking so long. Take a moment to explain; make the law accessible to your diem.

After Oz stepped from behind his curtain, he reached in a black bag and produced three simple gifts. They make nice grJduation gifts for new lawyers.

First, a brain. Congratulations on today's achievement, but remember you are a work in progress.Take responsibility for your own learning, and not just learning the law. The German poet Goethe wrote

A person should hear a little musil·, read a liltle poetry and see a fine picture every day in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.

Life can he a lot harder than Contracts, Torts or Property. Don't forget to do the reading. lbe second gift of the Wizard was cour.1.ge.As Oz said to the Lion, "Back where I come from, we have men we call heroes."

We au need heroes. Fifty years ago a young man stepped onto a baseball field in Philadelphia to play first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He hit a single.

Brooklyn won 4-2. It doesn't sound like much, but I suggest to you that it was among the most courageous al.1s of the last half century.

That first baseman had received death threats from dozens of anonvmous "heroes." An opposing manager threatened to fine his pitchers if they didn't throw fastballs at that young man's head.

Several teams claimed they would strike, rather than play on the same field with him.And that young man stood alone, shunned even bv his own teammates.

On May 10, 1947, a New York sportswriter wrote of Jackie Robinson, the first black man to play Major League baseball,

BY JOHN G. DOUGLASS Douglass is an assistant professor on the facultyoftbe University's TC. W'illiam, School of Law. 1bis essay 1s adapted from

his address to the law Class of 1997 at Commencement.

"He is the loneliest man I have ever seen in sports." And he still stepped out on that field.

As lawyers, you wiU need that gift of courn.ge. You may be asked to represent an unpopular, even a detestable client You may encounter a client, or even a partner, who knows he can break the rules and not get caught. Worsl of all, it may happen in a meeting with others who prefer to ignore the problem.You will look around the room and wait for someone to raise the issue, but it won't happen.And you will begin to feel as isolated as Jackie Robinson felt in his own dugout. That's when it will take all the courage you can muster just to step out onto the playing field. Have the courage to speak up. Have the courage to ask the hard question.

The final gift of the Wizard was a heart.

'111.e human heart is a complicated thing.

Oz defined it for the Tin Man in lhe simplest of terms: it's what makes you tick. I wish for each of you a heart that angers at injustice, that aches at needless human suffering, that joys in the unearthing of truth, and that knows the quiet satisfaction of doing well a job that needs to be done.

A brain. A heart. Courage. But you know I've missed something. Oz, a very bad wizard, had no power to create a real brain, a heart, or true courage. But Oz, the very good man, gave his new friends an even more precious gift: the wisdom to see inside themselves.

On behalf of the faculty, I commend to you these grn.duation gifts of the Wizard: • A brain, that you may never stop learning • Courn.ge, to speak the truth • A heart, that senses what is right and vearns to achieve it B~t most of all, the faith in yourselves to recognize that you have possessed these gifts all along. ii
