Volume Inaugural Issue (1975)
Editor: Nancy Grden
This first issue of Carolina Planning culminates an intensive year of work done by a number of people. The idea for the publication was developed last summer by several DCRP graduate students, who identified the need for such a publication and felt the students in DCRP could fulfill it. Instrumental in this development were Jim Miller, John Carroll, and Lee Corum, and I would like to thank them for their continuous support and assistance throughout this past year. I also want to acknowledge George Hemmens, chairman of the DCRP, and the Editorial Board, faculty members Gorman Gilbert and David Godschalk and student members Jim Foerster, Wanda Lewis, and Chuck Roe, for their valuable contributions to the publication.
My deepest appreciation goes to the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for their generous grant that allows Carolina Planning to be published semi-annually for the next two years. I would also like to thank the John Parker Trust Fund and the DCRP for their financial contributions to this first issue.
