First Year Rea
BY AU FREEMAN Staff Writer 1
Dr. Don Greiner, assistant to the '
Provost, sent letters to 550 freshmen ,
last summer inviting them to particiin
tVip "First Year Reading Expe
rience" by reading "Rich in Love," a novel
by Josephine Humphreys, an author
from Charleston.
The reading experience was such a
success last year for the 380 students
who read "The Water is Wide," that it
was expanded this year. Next year,
Greiner hopes to expand again to 750
students. "It's wonderful to start Welcome
Week with an academic event
rather than just social. It's great to get
students and faculty talking in a nonthreatening
environment," Greiner said.

ton Hall to hear Humphreys speak She ar
spoke very casually and informally with or
the students about the book, as well as th
her life, the historical novel she's work- wi
ing on, and the strangeness and lonliness
of writing. to
She said that she was raised in an m
upper class Charleston family, but that,
"at age 33,1 got tired of always being a oi
good girl. I became a writer instead of v(
a good girl, and there's a big difference." oi
"She was so open and nice that at ly
the end of the lecture when she asked te
for questions, the hands soared," Grein- si
er said. ft
"I enjoyed listening to her. It was h
fascinating to listen to a modern writer v
speak and to have that kind of insight,"
freshman Jonathan Sharpe said. e

Dr. Ward Briggs was a leader for

to discuss something out of literary

to attend the luncheon and sign books,
but did not. She needed to return to
Charleston to pack for a family trip to
the Caribbean.
"After the stimulating lecture and
discussion, the luncheon was anticlimactic,"
Amy McCormick said. Many
students, including Mccormick's roommate,
who bought three copies of "Rich
in Love", were dissapointed that
Humphreys did not sign books.
The day concluded with a showing
of "Rich in Love" in Russell House Theater.
McCormick said, "I was glad the
University showed an interest in liter
ature and especially in exposing students
to a day of activities centered
around a good book by an author from
South Carolina."
