of a lot of people over decades, but it got
started in Chapel Hill in ’ 56-57.
I found out these details as a result of
helping to set up what I believe was the
first interracial club on campus — at the
Y. I remember working with the black
students while drafting our club’s bylaws
in their dorm room. This club became
involved in civil rights issues on and off
campus. On one noteworthy excursion
when we drove to a state park, we were
denied entrance because our group was
integrated.
Keying in to social justice via the Y, and
the organizational skills that came with
that, helped me to continue activism in
the civil rights and peace movements all
through the Vietnam era. After a 25-year
social work career, I retired to focus on my
family and community activities, but I will
always think fondly of that rich experience
at Chapel Hill and the Campus Y.

Carolina’s HIV Research
Connects to Alumna’s Work
I am writing to express my pride in
reading about the grant for studies to
cure HIV that UNC is heading (“
Carolina Takes Lead on HIV Study, Seeks a
Cure,” August issue of “Out of the
Blue”).
I am a patient advocate at a long-term
care pharmacy in Buffalo, N. Y., where I
act as a liaison to niche populations for
direct delivery of medications to their
residences. My largest group of patients
are HIV-positive individuals, who are
seeking a safe, secure and convenient way
to receive their meds as well as assistance
to stay compliant and adhere to their reg-
imen. This provides a direct link from the
health care providers to pharmacy to
patient and completes an important cycle
in their care. I am so thrilled to learn that
Carolina is intricately involved in the
important research and development of a
cure for HIV and will keep up to date on
its progress.

Review incorrectly identified former
School of Information and Library Science Dean Barbara Moran as the victim
in a senior class dunking booth in the Pit.
The dunkee pictured was Steve Matson,
