Chapel Hill itself is the theme of this month’s SUN — yet it’s hardly more definable than our last subject, God and Enlightenment. Its context is unique: a liberal Southern university town that is neither typically Southern nor typically liberal, where the gap between knowing and doing, awareness and action, grows greater and greater. It’s a small town feeling the insistent pressures of growth, and somehow apart from and yet representative of mainstream America. For America — the America of suburban subdevelopments and shopping malls, of the razzle-dazzle, rape-of-the-eye architecture of burger joints and cruelly expensive, shoddily built apartments — begins more and more to represent what the Chamber of Commerce still affectionately calls “the Southern part of heaven.” And heaven, indeed, it is for many: as a learning center, as a haven for the eccentric and colorful personalities who give the town so much of its flavor, as a community where life, despite everything ugly and cheap and commercial, can still be beautiful and graceful and easy.
