  • Thursday, April 24, 1997 r/gSTSJfiMETTSIRnisTS been my friend and valued colleague for many years," Spangler said in presenting the gift. "Dr. Robinson's parents, Geneva and Fred Robinson, raised a wonderful family and instilled in them a love of education, as well as a desire to use that education to help lift those around them. Truly, the Robinson family is one of North Carolina's 20th-century success stories of education," he said. Although Robinson's parents had only a fifth-grade education, they were determined that their children would go to college. Robinson's education began in a two-room school- house in the remote Mitchell County community of Bandana, and he went on to earn degrees from Appalachian State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Duke University. His brother, the late H.F. "Cotton" Robinson, also became a leader in public education, serving as chancellor at Western Carolina from 1974 until 1984, guiding the institution through a decade of unprecedented growth. The Jay Robinson professorship will be a rotating position that will enable the university to bring to campus experts from the corporate or educational sectors who are using electronic technologies to enhance the teaching and learning process, said WCU Chancellor John W. Bardo. "Jay Robinson and the Robinson family have a storied history of support for public education at all levels in North Carolina," Bardo said. "The generous contribution by President Spangler is an appropriate recognition of Dr. Robinson's role in improving the lives of innumerable young people. By setting up this professorship as a rotating position, the Robinson professorship will directly contribute to enhanced student learning across all disciplines." The Jay M. Robinson Distinguished Professor in Educational Technologies will be selected through national search for a scholar who can provide expertise in the most critical areas of applying electronics or video technology to the teaching and learning process. Appointment will be made at the rank of professor in one of the disciplines of the university, with the length of the appointment to be not less than one year nor more than three years. Robinson, 67, began his career in public education as a mathematics teacher and coach at Odell School in Cabarrus County in 1950. He also taught math and coached sports at Winecoff School in Cabarrus County, served as principal at Winecoff School and South Stanley High School, and held the positions of assistant super intendent and superintendent of Cabarrus County Schools. He was superintendent of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system from 1977 until 1986, leading the state's largest school district through the implementation of desegregation. He then became a top administrator in the state university system. Robinson was UNC's vice president for public affairs from 1986 until 1993, and vice president for special projects in 1993-94. Robinson in 1993, and was elected in 1994 by his fellow board members to serve as chairman. Spangler, who has served as president of the UNC system since 1986, will step down from that position later this year. A graduate of UNC with a master's degree from the Harvard Business School, Spangler became president of two family businesses. He was named chairman of the Bank of North Carolina in 1973, leading the troubled financial institution to prosperity and the merger that created NCNB Corp. He was director of NCNB until he accepted the leadership of UNC in 1986. Spangler was elected to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education in 1972, serving as vice chairman from 1974 through 1976. He also was chairman of the N.C. Board of Education from 1982 until 1986.

Copy continued from pg 1 revalidate the Cat Card for future use in different card readers. According to Director of Auxilary Services Hal Holcomb, if the contract ends, Capital would possibly allow students to request a refund of their current balances. However, the mail-in form would not be available until the end of the contract period. Holcombe also said that students should only expect a ref und of a "reasonable amount of money," referring to card holders with $600 balances. In a statement pertaining to increasing high balances, in the February 13 issue of the Western Carolinian, Kirwan said "This is between the student and Capital, not the student and the school." Kirwan reiterated his statement when he discussed the way in which a student could request a refund of a current card. According to Kirwan, if Capital Copy removes its equipment from campus, the university will take over responsibility for copying resources. It is unclear whether copiers will be in all the same locations as the Capital machines. Holcombe said that the university would try to put copiers in at least some of the current locations around campus. Locations would be determined by the vol ume of use in specific areas. Kirwan also said that students who pay for copies with a card would be required to use only the Cat Card rather than a separate copy card. He said that he expects the current prices would remain the same. A regional representative of Capital Copy, Inc. said that the company is trying to resolve the issue of refunding balances and give the students the best deal possible. He declined further comment on the negotiation. "Our concern is that students have the service," said Kirwan. _ b/fnerWer f Re liffle §14 mm uiffii fife braW ffew Q laVsr iWCWWlw. t i .«J )9 W* iz+ floors ice cream aWyogurf so*4aest spiffs, snakes, efc. cusfsm fee cream cakes Ctieesecakes » os £>r breakfasf assorted coffees aw feas -rfS*2g^ tagels, *»uCQ ms, ati<( pasf ries ^ °£f breakCasf Car VNfeU &tt% i sfuWfs x^> Sua. <o am - io p*i *""*•:. 526-WI
