Directors’ cup rankings

Wake Forest placed fifth among private schools and fourth in the ACC in recording its high- est finish ever in the 2002-03 NACDA Director’s Cup Standings. The overall ranking of thirty- second was ten places higher than in 2001-02 and one spot higher than the previous high ranking of thirty-third in 2000-01. Among private schools, Wake Forest trailed only Stanford (first), Notre Dame and Southern Cal (tied for thirteenth), and Duke (twenty-first). In the ACC, Wake Forest finished behind North Carolina (eighth), Virginia (nineteenth), and Duke, and ahead of Florida State (thirty-eighth), N.C. State (forty-third), Clemson (forty-eighth), and Georgia Tech (fifty-third). The rankings, issued annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, measure the overall success of college athletic programs, with points awarded based on teams’ performances. Wake Forest picked up points from nine of sixteen teams, includ- ing the women’s field hockey team—which captured the NCAA championship in 2002—the ACC co-champion women’s cross-country team, and the ACC regular season champion men’s basketball team.

First-round history

Josh Howard’s (’03) selection by the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the NBA Draft in June gave Wake Forest an unusual distinction: first-round draft picks in men’s basketball; football, Calvin Pace (’03); and baseball, Kyle Sleeth (’03), for the first time. The occurrence has happened only twice at any school in the last five years—Fresno State last year and Florida in 1998. The last ACC school to produce three first-round picks was Florida State in 1994-95; the Seminoles also had three in 1993-94 and Clemson had three in 1986-87. Howard, the twenty-ninth pick overall, was the tenth Wake Forest player to be taken in the first round. He joins (1997), Muggsy Bogues (1987), Len Chappell (1962), (1995), Kenny Green (1995), (1978), (1955), Frank Johnson (1981), and (1993).

Quiet and low-key, with soft eyes and a warm smile that inspire confidence and trust, he is known as a humble and self-effacing researcher, quick to deflect credit away from himself and toward others. “It is really gratifying to have this success for the network,” he says of the study. He is admired as a caring clinician who devotes as much time and attention as required to each patient he sees at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and public health clinics in Yadkin and Davie counties. He keeps in touch with many mothers he brought through difficult pregnancies as their children grow up.

18 Wake Forest Magazine LOUIS DAVIS Finding Answers

Wake Forest School of Medicine researcher has identified brain malformations that appear A to be part of a syndrome that could be a leading cause of death in premature infants. William R. Brown, director of the Brain Microvascular Pathology Laboratory, has discovered a new type of brain malformation, called cortical cleft malformation, which is associated with premature birth and early death. “The brain malformations may result from blood clots that circulate from the placenta to the developing brain,” Brown said. “This would cause cell death and a hole to form called a cortical cleft. This finding suggests an answer to the question, ‘Why did this baby die?’ to parents and physicians who look for underlying medical causes to explain the death of many preterm babies.” The malformations were found using ultrasound and MRI scans during autopsies of premature infants. Over a nine-year period Brown and his team looked at brain tissues from thirty-three babies; thirty-one had the malformations. While it is not yet known how to prevent the malformations, Brown and his team hope that by understanding how they occur, prevention strategies can be developed. “We suspect from our studies that the lesions originate early in pregnancy around the end of the first trimester or start of the second trimester,” he said. “Sometime after the damage to the brain has occurred, something causes the mother to go into premature labor. Babies with large malformations die with- in hours or days of birth. We don’t know why the mother goes into early labor or why the babies die, but it appears to be due to a syndrome involving these brain malformations.” Babies may live with less severe forms of these malformations, but researchers suspect any survivors may suffer from other conditions which often have no known cause. “By answering some of these questions, we may be able to prevent premature births and brain dysfunctions such as cerebral palsy and mental retardation,” Brown said. For neonatalogists, this breakthrough could mean the answers to questions that have been haunting physicians for years. “This finding is very exciting for many reasons,” said Steve Block, a neonatalogist and director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. “It is so unusual to have a finding that is completely novel. If we start to look at causation, then we can begin to explore therapies that might prevent some devastating diseases. The ultimate goal is a healthy baby and more productive member of society.”

22 Wake Forest Magazine Coates sees the e-mail exchanges as an enhancement to face-to-face contact. He insists that each student come to his office for a personal meeting at the beginning of the semester and also meets with them individually to discuss their work. And while he’s big on e-mail, he’s not as interested in Power- Point presentations. “I remain rather committed to reactive interaction with my students and letting the conversation go with their questions,” he said. “I’m still very much a chalk and drawing man. I require students to use the library and then update by going to the Web.” One of Coates’ students last semester wrote a paper on how British Prime Minister Tony Blair ended up backing President Bush in Iraq. “She read all Blair’s speeches since 9/11.

Now I no longer accept circuits that are not perfect.When they get to the point where they would have been finished with the assignment under the old system, that’s the point where real learning begins. It’s amazing how alert they become when they realize they don’t understand. Now they really want to know why it’s not working.” The only downside Matthews can see is that teaching now takes a lot more time.And even that is a good problem to have. “I get a lot more office visits than before because students know they need me more than they did before,” he said. “I’m teaching better. I’m spending more time with my students, and that’s exactly what I’m supposed to do.” The biggest ethical concern Matthews has from the faculty standpoint is the continued use of what he sees as an archaic system for disseminating scholarly research. “University faculty “I tell students the have abdicated the responsibility to make their research avail- able to humanity worldwide by not taking advantage of new library is a wonderful technology.We’re still doing things more or less the way we place, not just a place did before,” he said. “We’re still sending our articles off to very expensive journals that are inaccessible to a lot of people. to do your homework.” Access in much of the world is not affordable.We’re finding it increasingly difficult to afford them ourselves.

September 2003 33 LATE SHOW WITH STEPHANIE BIRKITT (’97) Interview

egular watchers of the “Late Show with David Letterman” Rhave probably seen Stephanie Birkitt (’97) on the air, and they have undoubtedly heard her voice. As an assistant to the CBS talk-show guru and resident Polster, she’s achieved her own celebrity status through frequent on-air phone conversations with the host as well as commentary during the Salt Lake City Olympics. But “Steph” fans probably know her best for her Manhattan street polls, where she puts complete strangers on the spot.

34 Wake Forest Magazine What is your job, and how did you land it? I am an assistant to David Letterman. I got this job following a college internship in the writers’ department at the show. I did my internship in the spring of 1996, returned to school for one more year, and graduated in 1997. Following graduation I moved to New York and worked at CBS News “48 Hours” then eventually ended up at the “Late Show” again. I never lost my interest in the show and was consequently thrilled at the opportunity to work there. I would say that the reason I enjoy my work is two-fold. For one thing the people I work with make the environment very familial. We all get along great and everyone really enjoys each other. The other thing which makes work ever-exciting is the fact that no two days are ever alike. You come to work each morning really never knowing what will happen next. Some days we all go to the movies, other days I find myself dressed in costumes or making reports on snowfall up on the roof. Things are never monotonous. I truly have a wonderfully crazy job.

Do you write your own material? I do not come up with the questions for my Polster interviews. The writers come up with all of those. For the longer reports like the Olympics, I work with a writer to kind of combine my personality with possible questions or ideas. I am given a great deal of freedom to come up with ideas and have a lot of fun during remote segments. My on-air calls with Dave however, are unrehearsed and just natural conversation between the two of us.

What is the strangest question you’ve ever asked anyone?I asked Tom Cruise if he was planning on making any more movies where he would dance around in his underpants.

We’ve got a photo of you with George Clooney. Does hanging out with celebrities make you feel pretty famous? Well, I really don’t consider myself much of a celebrity at all. I do have a great deal of fun with all of the opportunities and experiences this job affords me. Working for Dave is great though. Aside from being incredibly funny and personable he is generous, kind, and is great fun to play catch with. I really couldn’t ask for a more fun work environment. Dave is truly the greatest boss I could ever have.

Was there anyone at Wake Forest who influenced the direction of your career? Well, I wouldn’t say there was anyone in particular who steered me into this career path. However, I will forever be in debt to Professor Wayne King who single-handedly enabled me to do this internship. He allowed me to work out a system by which I could get credit for my semester in New York. I will never forget his kindness. I must say that Wake Forest in itself was a wonderful experi- ence and James Barefield and Simone Caron were always particularly supportive and help- ful in my drive to get a history degree whilst pursuing my interests in television.

Any fond memories of Wake Forest? My fondest memories of Wake Forest are mostly just sitting in classes with my friends and racing desperately to the Pit for Subway and pudding afterward. My not-so-fond memories all involve final exams and morning-before-exam exhaustion and sickness. I also hated math classes of all and any kind. If I had it my way, math would be eliminated from the curriculum. One time I got a 54 percent on a calculus test. I’m pretty sure the questions were unfair.

Devon Faux Faulkner ‘Three Bears’ parody is just right

ichael Edens (’83) wrote a wordy parody of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” Mthat was neither too serious nor too silly, but just right—and judges selected his spoof as the winner of the 14th annual Faux Faulkner contest held in July. Edens said his idea for “Appendix:The Sound and the Furry,” hit him in a flash. He imagined how William Faulkner, whose The Bear is a staple of high school literature courses, would handle “two more bears.” He composed the story quickly. “It only took me a couple of days, maybe an hour a crack each time,” he said. “I just wrote about half of it, and then half and just fid- dled with it.” He tossed the story into a drawer and forgot about it for a couple of years.Then, he submitted the piece to a panel of celebrity writers who chose it as the year’s best parody of the style, if not the substance, of Nobel laureate William Faulkner, whose stream-of-consciousness tales of complex Southern souls have won acclaim the world over. “Goldilocks,” he wrote. “Slim blond avatar of unreasoning womankind: who loved not the porridge itself, nor even the act of reiving it from whatever unknown animal might have been responsible for its preparation.”And so his Faulkneresque sentence continues unabated, another one-hundred thirty-three words, commonplace and arcane, through the ursine world of domesticity, until it winds down to this: “…and I can no longer remember the subject of my sentence.” “That’s the one everyone remarks about,” Edens said. Larry Wells of Oxford, Mississippi, is founder and coordinator of the Faux Faulkner contest, along with his wife, Dean Faulkner Wells, the author’s niece. He said Edens’ parody works because it reflects the vocabulary and cadence of Faulkner’s own fiction. The 43-year-old Edens lives in Earlysville,Virginia, and makes his living as a wordsmith. He is supervisor of technical publications for Northrop Grumman’s Sperry Marine Division in Charlottesville. He spent a dozen years in Los Angeles, where he said he performed standup comedy, wrote a half-hour screenplay for an undistributed film, and appeared on the brainy “Win Ben Stein’s Money”—and won. He has been a Faulkner fan since he was required to readThe Sound and the Fury twenty years ago for a freshman literature seminar at Wake Forest. “It’s not just my favorite Faulkner novel. It’s my favorite novel of all time,” Edens said. He said he admires the universal quality of Faulkner’s work. “I really feel like Faulkner speaks for the South, for America and for the world, that he’s on all three of those pages,” Edens said. “To me, it’s more the depth of knowledge of humanity behind the words.The words are kind of what makes him easy to parody.You can throw in avatar, ratiocination and reivings.” Edens—whose story was selected by judges including George Plimpton, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and John Berendt—read his entry (excerpted at right) during the 30th Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference in Oxford, Mississippi.

An unidentified worker puts the finishing touches on the law school eagle that Biebigheiser designed in this photograph that he took in 1956.

ens Frederick Larson is recognized as the architect for Wake Forest’s “new” J campus, but the contributions of another architect—largely forgotten for a half century—are now coming to light. Lloyd Winchell Biebigheiser was an architect in New Jersey who came to Winston-Salem in 1936 to work on renovations to Reynolda House (now the Wake Forest-affiliated Reynolda House, Museum of American Art) and was later hired by Larson to work on the new campus because of his skill in ornamental design. He designed many of the most recognizable architectural features of campus buildings including stone carvings and the wrought iron “WFC” found on many railings; light fixtures such as the chandeliers in the Rare Books Room in the Z. Smith Reynolds Library; the altar in Wait Chapel; and a large eagle in the old law school courtroom in Carswell Hall. He lived in Winston-Salem until this death in 1961. Biebigheiser (pronounced bee-bee-high-sir) was also a photographer who documented his work as well as the campus under construction. His granddaughter, Sarah Turner of Winston-Salem, recently donated to the University Archives more than eight-hundred color slides he took from the groundbreaking in 1951 to the first Convocation in Wait Chapel in 1956. An online exhibit (www.wfu.edu/Library/special/biebigheiser.html) of the collec- tion has been created with the help of another granddaughter, Lee Schlatter of Randolph, New Jersey. Enlarged and matted copies of his photographs are available for purchase on the Web site; proceeds will help maintain the University Archives.
