Thanks for your attention, Jim
Jim Neighbors Assistant Professor of English Wofford College 429 North Church St. Spartanburg, SC 29303 Office: 864.597.4608
From Amazon.com: When he was but 10 years old, Tim Tyson heard one of his boyhood friends in Oxford, N.C. excitedly blurt the words that were to forever change his life: "Daddy and Roger and 'em shot 'em a nigger!" The cold-blooded street murder of young Henry Marrow by an ambitious, hot- tempered local businessman and his kin in the Spring of 1970 would quickly fan the long- flickering flames of racial discord in the proud, insular tobacco town into explosions of rage and street violence. It would also turn the white Tyson down a long, troubled reconciliation with his Southern roots that eventually led to a professorship in African-American studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison--and this profoundly moving, if deeply troubling personal meditation on the true costs of America's historical racial divide. Taking its title from a traditional African-American spiritual, Tyson skillfully interweaves insightful autobiography (his father was the town's anti-segregationist Methodist minister, and a man whose conscience and human decency greatly informs the son) with a painstakingly nuanced historical analysis that underscores how little really changed in the years and decades after the Civil Rights Act of 1965 supposedly ended racial segregation. The details are often chilling: Oxford simply closed its public recreation facilities rather than integrate them; Marrow's accused murderers were publicly condemned, yet acquitted; the very town's newspaper records of the events--and indeed the author's later account for his graduate thesis--mysteriously removed from local public records. But Tyson's own impassioned personal history lessons here won't be denied; they're painful, yet necessary reminders of a poisonous American racial legacy that's so often been casually rewritten--and too easily carried forward into yet another century by politicians eagerly employing the cynical, so-called "Southern Strategy." --Jerry McCulley
From Publishers Weekly: In this outstanding personal history, Tyson, a professor of African-American studies who's white, unflinchingly examines the civil rights struggle in the South. The book focuses on the murder of a young black man, Henry Marrow, in 1970, a tragedy that dramatically widened the racial gap in the author's hometown of Oxford, N.C. Tyson portrays the killing and its aftermath from multiple the author's hometown of Oxford, N.C. Tyson portrays the killing and its aftermath from multiple perspectives, including that of his contemporary, 10-year-old self; his progressive Methodist pastor father, who strove to lead his parishioners to overcome their prejudices; members of the disempowered black community; one of the killers; and his older self, who comes to Oxford with a historian's eye. He also artfully interweaves the history of race relations in the South, carefully and convincingly rejecting less complex and self-serving versions ("violence and nonviolence were both more ethically complicated-and more tightly intertwined-than they appeared in most media accounts and history books"). A gifted writer, he celebrates a number of inspirational unsung heroes, ranging from his father to a respected elderly schoolteacher who spoke out at a crucial point to quash a white congregation's rebellion over an invitation to a black minister. Tyson's avoidance of stereotypes and simple answers brings a shameful recent era in our country's history to vivid life. This book deserves the largest possible audience. FYI: Tyson's last book, Radio Free Dixie: Robert F. Williams and the Roots of Black Power (1999), won the James Rawley Prize and was co-winner of the Frederick Jackson Turner Prize.

Lost and Found
Lost: a gold watch with a black face that says "Watch Works". I probably lost it in Milliken or Old Main. I can be contacted at [email protected] From: Page, Jenni Brickhouse /O=WOFFORD COLLEGE/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=PAGEJB Subject: from John Lefebvre Date: November 10, 2004 at 11:45 AM To: Wofford Faculty/Staff ([email protected]) [email protected]
Dear Colleagues,
On Thursday November 18, 2004, the department of psychology will be hosting Dr. Fathali Moghaddam of Georgetown University. Dr. Moghaddam is an Iranian born, British educated cultural psychologist, who previously taught at Tehran University after the revolution in 1979 and worked for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). He is particularly dedicated to undergraduate teaching and the Liberal Arts tradition, and regularly co-authors papers with undergraduate students. He is also a strong believer in crossing disciplinary boundaries, and this is reflected both in his teaching and research.
Dr. Moghaddam will be giving two talks to the Wofford Community. The first talk will be at 11:00 AM in the Olin Theater. The talk will deal with empirical research and present findings on studies looking at how citizens' commonsense understandings of rights and duties translate into social behavior. This topic is especially timely in our post 9/11 world where the relative rights and duties of citizens and our government are foremost in our minds. Dr. Moghaddam will also be the lead participant in an open format discussion at 3:00 PM in the Montgomery room in Burwell. Dr. Moghaddam has recently completed and published a book that looks at the psychological and cultural roots of terrorism. His talk will address the resources that psychology can bring to bear on the problem of terrorism. He will demonstrate how empirically based theories and interventions can be used to understand, intervene, and prevent this challenge to international security. Terrorism, by definition, attempts to change the psychological state of its targets, so psychologists are well positioned to cast light on this phenomenon. The floor will then be open to others for discussion of the topic. Both presentations will be of interest to students and faculty interested in psychology, government, religion, sociology, history, economics, cross-cultural issues, law, and literature.
In addition to these talks, Dr. Moghaddam will be available for individual talks with faculty. Please contact me with particular requests for meetings.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you at these talks.

Reminder from Human Resources
Attn: FT Non Faculty The At-Will Disclaimer and Acknowledgment of Reciept of the Revised Non-Faculty Employee Handbook were to be returned to H.R. by November 15th. If you have not returned yours, please do so by the end of this week. Please refer to the original memo from Bob Keasler below.
Date: October 12, 2004
Memorandum to: Wofford College Non Faculty Employees
From: Bob Keasler
Re: Wofford College Non Faculty Employee Handbook, Revised July 1, 2004
I am very pleased to distribute the first revised copy of the College’s Non-Faculty Employee Handbook in its entirety since 1998. This revision is designed to enhance and clarify current policy and include new policy as well. The revision is located on the Wofford College intranet. You can access and download a copy at any time using the following steps:
1. Access the College web site at http://www.wofford.edu/humanResources 2. The Handbook is listed as a PDF file.
This revision completely replaces and makes null and void all previously issued policies, memoranda and any other documents that set forth policy of the College. I strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with the revisions in this handbook.
The employment relationship between the College and its non-faculty employees has always been one that allows the greatest amount of freedom to both parties. This relationship is characterized as “at-will” and has been very successful in the past. The Disclaimer located on page 1 has been amended to comply with recently enacted legislation, Section 41-1-110, Code of Laws of South Carolina, signed into law by Governor Mark Sanford on March 18, 2004. Please read the Disclaimer carefully. Disclaimer carefully.
All employees in South Carolina have been in an “at will” status for many years. This new law requires employers to communicate the nature of this relationship to its employees. While the College agrees with and applauds the state’s attempt to make sure employees fully understand the legal relationship between employers and employees, we feel the required tone and format of the language in the Disclaimer is somewhat harsh. The Disclaimer included in the Handbook uses language and format either required by law or recommended by legal opinion. Regardless of the legal status of its employees, the College values and respects the unique contribution of each individual.
As you familiarize yourself with the revised handbook, please pay close attention to the significant changes on the following pages:
Ø Page 6: Inclusion of Technology User Accounts (new) Ø Page 8: Inclusion of COBRA information (new) Ø Page 9: Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance, addition of “Living Benefit” Ø Page 16: Inclement Weather (revised) Ø Page 18: Military Duty (revised) Ø Page 21: Harassment, Addition of Paragraph 3 (new) Ø Page 22: Inclusion of Policy on the Responsible and Ethical Use of Technology Resources (new) Ø Page 24: Inclusion of Policy on Damage to Personal Property on Campus (new) Ø Page 25: Inclusion of Unpaid Disciplinary Suspension Deductions Policy (new) Ø Page 25: Inclusion of Prohibition Against Improper Deductions From the Salary of Exempt Employees (new) Ø Page 27: Inclusion of McMillan Theater (new)
After you have reviewed this memorandum and handbook, please sign and date both Disclaimers and the Acknowledgment of Receipt of Handbook By Employee attached on the last page. Please return one Disclaimer and “Acknowledgment of Receipt” to the Human Resource Office by November 15th. You may retain the other Disclaimer in your handbook. We must ensure every non-faculty employee received and reviewed the revised handbook since all previous policies, memoranda and documents inconsistent with it have been made null and void by its issuance.
If you have any questions, please contact Carole Lister in the Human Resource Office.

On Thursday November 18, 2004, the department of psychology will be hosting Dr. Fathali Moghaddam of Georgetown University. Dr. Moghaddam will be giving two talks to the Wofford Community. The first talk will be at 11:00 AM in the Olin Theater. The talk will deal with empirical research and present findings on studies looking at how citizens' commonsense understandings of rights and duties translate into social behavior. This topic is especially timely in our post 9/11 world where the relative rights and duties of citizens and our government are foremost in our minds. Dr. Moghaddam will also be the lead participant in an open format discussion at 3:00 PM in the Montgomery room in Burwell. Dr. Moghaddam has recently completed and published a book that looks at the psychological and cultural roots of terrorism. His talk will address the resources that psychology can bring to bear on the problem of terrorism. He will demonstrate how empirically based theories and interventions can be used to understand, intervene, and prevent this challenge to international security. Terrorism, by definition, attempts to change the psychological state of its targets, so psychologists are well positioned to cast light on this phenomenon. The floor will then be open to others for discussion of the topic. Both presentations will be of interest to students and faculty interested in psychology, government, religion, sociology, history, economics, cross-cultural issues, law, and literature.
These talks are sponsored by the cultural affairs committee and the psychology kingdom.
