THE CHRONICLE • PAGE 9 ISSUES WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1998 is for Choice There is little doubt among most that American education could benefit from improvement. Safety threats at many schools have trumped educational purpose; test scores and literacy rates have not improved even while spending has increased, after accounting for inflation, by 50 percent between 1974 and 1991. And during this same time, almost every matter of reform has been attempted, from teacher merit pay to full- year schedules to higher standards. The poor quality and high costs of the educational system, many argue, mandates a fundamental change, not merely more tinkering. School choice, often in the form of vouchers, is such a plan. It suggests that by giving parents the choice of their children's schools, the com­ petitive forces will naturally address many ofthe system's problems.

For me, it was the start of a few days driving around New England, trailing Terry and talking with his aides- It would pro­ duce a modesr series of political analyses for the readers hack at Duke. At the time, of course, I imagined that all of the readers in Durham were dwelling on every word about the Sanford cam­ paign, duly dispatched from their campus daily's would-be Teddy White. Now that I look back at those editions of The Chronicle, though, I imagine that readers were more preoccupied with other headlines: The price of coffee in the CI. was being raised from 10 cents to 15 cents. The downtown Durham Hotel-Motel was being demolished in a spectacular detonation. And the tuition for a year at Duke was about to be raised from $3,030 to $3,230. Oh, those good old days.

From the campaign notebook, a recollection of the Sanford campaign's funniest fumble of that first week: At a New Hampshire speech, Terry was asked about the then-worrisome military crisis in Angola. He told rhe crowd—to widespread applause—rhat so soon after the Vietnam debacle, he was against another American military deployment over­ seas.

A footnote to the tale of tracking Terry on rhe campaign trail: Once I got back to Duke, a week later, to write the story of Terry's trek through "The Snows Of New Hampshire," it didn't even make page one ofThe Chronicle. The long-awaired feature was shifted to page four—knocked off the front page by a breaking news story that also carried my byline: "Sanford is hospitalized—Chest pains suggest heart ailment." Shortly after his brief stay in Salem Hospital in Marblehead, Mass., and then a checkup in Duke Hospital, Terry ended his presidential campaign—short on cash, down in the polls and out of time. At least he had the satisfaction of seeing his nemesis, George Wallace, get knocked out of the Democratic primary race by Jimmy Carter that spring. A "New South" governor thus vindicated Terry's theory: that a moderate Democrat from the South could capture the presidency and, in the process, could help cleanse the South ofthe stain of Wallace's race-baiting tactics. Terry didn't win. But his campaign theory was right—and a Georgia-accented variant of Terry's "New South" philosophy made it, however briefly, to the White House. It wasn't a long race. It wasn't a winning campaign. But it wasn't his last hurrah. A few years later, Terry would capture a seat in the U.S. Senate. All along the way—as governor, as University president, as senator—-Terry won legions of admirers. And he won the affec­ tion of many a young writer at The Chronicle—including this one.

SANFORD REMEMBERED: . RALPH KARPINOS, TRINITY '72 .1 first met Terry Sanford at the press conference during which he was introduced as the newly selected president of Duke University. Tom Campbell, Trinity '70 and owner of the Regulator Bookshop on Ninth Street, and I attended on behalf ofThe Chronicle, Tom as editor and I as a reporter. Sanford came in and warmly greeted members ofthe North Carolina press corps, many of whom knew him from his years of service in Raleigh as the state's governor. In those days, the press corps looked and dressed a little more conservatively than they do today, and my long hair, beard, blue jeans and leather boots made me an easy target. I recall Sanford's comments as he shook my hand: "You must be from The Chronicle." After I responded affirmatively, he said: "I wonder how I knew that." The press conference that day demonstrated to me and others Sanford's talents and skills at handling the press. One of my favorite moments of the press conference occurred when someone asked him how he thought he would handle an academic environment full of professors, given that he did not have a Ph.D. His response: "Well, I have an L.L.B." During the next two and a half years, I had the opportunity to talk with Sanford about a wide range of topics of interest to students and, consequently, to The Chronicle. 1 watched him skillfully communicate with all of the University's constituent groups. I recall him speaking by megaphone to students camping out at the traffic circle during an anti-war protest (an event photographed for history and appearing in The Chronicle and, I believe, the Chanticleer). As The Chronicle's editor during my "I can't think of many senior year, I attended the Board ofTrustees' meetings; his work with the trustees, balancing the various interests presented dur­ ing their meetings, was brilliant. people who lived as full Occasionally, these interviews followed shortly after The Chronicle had—as it was legendary for doing—published a particu­ larly slanted version of events in its news columns or written a particularly obnoxious editorial about the University administra­ tion. It never seemed to matter to Sanford. He always was patient, graceful and polite to me and in his dealings with others on a life as Terry The Chronicle's staff. I was delighted to have the chance to say hello to Sanford again a few years ago at a continuing legal education program. Sanford." Recalling that picture of him standing by Chapel Hill's mayor (and former UNC law school dean) Ken Broun hung at Town Hall, 1 mentioned to him that I was Broun's lawyer, to which Sanford quickly replied that he and the town needed a good lawyer. —Senior Vice In my years of public service here, I have had my own opportunity on occasion to be the subject of some media scrutiny and criticism. I am sure Sanford would have found some amusement in the fact that at least some of us who used to dish it out at The Chronicle now get the chance to be on the receiving end. And I hope that I can learn to handle it with some ofthe same President for Public grace, couttesy and humor that he always demonstrated.

Wednesday, April 22, 1998 OUTRAGEOUS AMBITIONS: THE LIFE OF TERRY SANFORD FACULTY ADDRESS 1984

On this occasionof my last meeting with the faculty, it was tempting to look back to the last 15 years, summarize what has been done, and claim victory. Instead, let me look to the future, let me talk about institutional goals. Nor am I g(x>d at farewell speeches. Besides, I am not saying farewell to Duke. 1 am an honorary alumnus and pay annual alumni dues. And I expect to be getting calls from the Annual Fund solicitors. Everybody is seeking excellence, or claims to be. I sometimes think we have misused the word or weakened it by overuse. Excellence is not a brand of cheese. It is not even a place. It is more like a path or a guiding star. A single professor in a classroom in a small and otherwise inadequate college may seek excellence with as much validity as does the total institu­ tion of, say, the Johns Hopkins University. Every individual, every institution, can seek excellence in performance. That does not suggest by any means that they will all end at the same place, because excellence is not a destination. It is a spirit; it is a determination; it is a set of personal and institutional values.... The lesson I get... is that there is nothing wrong with being outrageously ambirious for your institution. 1 am sure that President [John Franklin] Crowell did not achieve everything he hoped to achieve. But think what the situation would have been in higher education in North Carolina and the South had it not been for Crowell's outrageous ambition. Certainly, there would have been no Duke University. Another lesson from Crowell's administration is that decisions have long lives. In all he did, President Crowell assured the long-range future of his college by being true to academic principle and insisting on standards of excellence. Any views ofa university's future should be a iong, hundred-year view. That does not mean we need to wait 100 years to perceive results, but it does mean that what is done today will still have an effect on this University 100 years from now.... This is not an Ivy League school. We-are not of any flock or tribe. I quote from my inaugural speech: "I do not propose that we seek for ourselves a homogenized pattern of the half-dozen great private universities of the nation of which we are one, or that we try to 'catch up' or follow any university, no matter what its prestigious position. Simply to do as some other university docs, to teach as it teaches, to operate as it operates, to accept it as our model, would make our best success but a carbon copy. We strive to be Duke University, an institution seeking the highest scholarly attainment, and using to the fullest its own peculiar resources and creative capabilities." I do not ever like to hear Harvard referred to as the Duke ofthe North. We will continue to shape our own destiny in our own way in our own place. The goals of Duke University, first and foremost, embrace a commitment to excellence in faculty. We have achieved that, but because excellence is a never-ending path, I am sure that we can add to out already excellent faculty and have the t«_H_ra______-_r .• best faculty in the world, and that we can achieve that goal in the next two decades; but I am absolutely cettain that we Terry Sanford speaks at Founders Day, 1993. cannot achieve anything close to that if we do not set such an outrageous goal right now. Each new faculty member must add to the scholarship, intellectual capacity, and promise of the department and the total of Duke. It is not enough, however, for the faculty to be improved by the recruitment program. Each department has the responsibility for evaluation annually and, indeed, constantly, for the purpose of seeking improvement in quality and dedication of all who want to be a part of Duke's future.... Undergraduate student life and the experience at Duke are the spicy ingredients in the general institurional success we have had. We are small and should stay small. We arc a "residential university," and we should retain the on-campus living option—but not an overcrowded one. It is the remarkable appeal of Duke to the undergraduate that ensures we can reach any goal now set for Duke, and intellectual excitement is the reason for the appeal. We gain intellectual excitement with intern programs, special travel opportunities, visiting fellows and speakers, house courses and conversations with faculty and peers outside the classroom. (There are those who feel this aspect of student life is inadequate, and it should be improved, but I don't want us to get to a point that when a student comes in and shouts, "Hey, how about that soccer team," a fellow student lifts a finger to his lips and admonishes, "Watch it, we are talking about Chaucer.") We also get intellectual excitement from student extracurricular activities, publications, the arts, athletics and social work projects, along with the most important excitement—the excite­ ment ofthe laboratory and the classroom. 1 cherish the reputation of Duke's senior and tenured professors who eagerly teach undergraduate courses. I hope that the faculty will always make such partici­ pation a hallmark of Duke University. Good teaching, insistence on superior perfonnance, a scholarly attitude toward school and work and life should always be expected of these responsible for Duke University's policies and practices. I think we have that kind of excitement at Duke across the board. I think that is why so many students want to come to Duke. I think that is why the name of Duke University is always spoken by high school seniors in every part of this nation with high respecr and somcrimes awe. This kind of acceptance, this kind of excitement, and this kind of faculty concern are the very heartbeat of a great university. With these foundations, we can proceed to any outrageous institutional ambition.... Finally, the stamp ofDuke University and its continuing goal ought to be the unrelenting search for excellence in all ofits endeavors. Duke aspires to leave its students with an abiding concern for justice, with a resolve for compassion and concern for others, with minds unfettered by racial and other prejudices, with a dedication to service to society, with an intellectual sharpness and with an ability to think straight now and throughout life. All ofthese goals are worthy of outrageous ambitions. Thank you, and even eight months prematurely, thank you for making my time at Duke the best years of my life. j , ^r-
