Description An account of the resource This Collegian article reports anxieties about the dining hall exchange at the University of Richmond regarding a misinterpretation of the Coordinate Education Report. The report states that “Separate dining opportunities shall be provided in each college.” However, Dr. William H. Leftwich, vice president of student affairs, says that only students with schedule conflicts that prevent them from returning to their designated college should be able to eat on opposite sides of the lake. While Leftwich is anxious to hear the recommendations from the Food Service Committee, he has received a recommendation from the Westhampton Student Affairs Committee to reserve Westhampton College’s Main Dining Hall for women students at dinner. Leftwich adds that if they were to announce that students could eat at either location at any time, he and Saga, Inc. (the food service company) would “experience complete chaos."

Description An account of the resource According to this University of Richmond Collegian article, the Board of Trustees has passed a Westhampton Senate proposal allowing men to eat at the court dining hall during dinner hours. The court dining hall was the all-female dining hall intended for Westhampton College students. The proposal, explained by Amanda Debusk, resulted partly from a student survey which found 237 students wanted a change and only 38 preferred the present condition. Additionally, the Senate report states that the concept of “separate dining facilities” as stated in the Coordinate Education Report has not been realized because the court dining hall, designated for women, is available on a limited basis only. This has resulted in the loss of a “sense of college” by some students. Many students also believe Richmond College is “in violation of the present system as interpreted by University officials,” since the amendment states that the enforcement of this rule at only one college is “not generally accepted by Westhampton students.” Subject The topic of the resource College students College students, Men College students--Attitudes College trustees Coordinate college system Richmond College Social life and customs Student life Universities and colleges--Food service Westhampton College Women college students Language A language of the resource English Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Collegian63.21.3-19760318.JPG Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived "Trustees Alter WC Dining Hall Policy".

Description An account of the resource In this oral history interview, Madieth Malone (W’72) and Isabelle (Thomas) LeSane (W’72) sat down with Jacob Roberson (’19) and Ayele d’Almeida (’20) on March 5, 2019 in the Westhampton College Deanery Living Room. In this one hour and forty-five minute interview, Malone and LeSane share about their experiences as two of the first Black women to attend Westhampton College. Malone and LeSane recount their childhoods growing up in Richmond, how they decided to attend the University of Richmond, reflect on finding out later in life that their time at the university is considered historic, their careers as educators in Richmond Public Schools, being commuter students at Westhampton College, traveling with the glee club, theater group, and Russian classes, Malone’s theater experience as a University Player, Malone’s experienced being one of the first students to integrated Binford Middle School and how that prepared her for her time at UR, the swimming requirement at Westhampton College, reflect on how the university has changed in the last 50 years, give advice to current Black students at the university, and more. <img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/MaloneandThomas_1969-01.JPG" alt="" /> Born and raised in what was called the “West End” of the city of Richmond, Madieth P. Malone attended Richmond Public Schools near the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. In 1962, she was one of eleven black students chosen to integrate Binford Junior High School. Two years later, she attended Thomas Jefferson High School, continuing the push to desegregate schools in the city. Madieth developed many friendships and many interests while attending TJ, and when Westhampton College was presented as a possible choice, she found it to be a good fit. Several of her high school friends were attending, and it was a convenient commute from home. The goal at Westhampton was to get the best liberal arts education possible. While there, she pursued a wide variety of interests, but was most involved with the theater department. In 1972, she graduated with a degree in Speech and Theater Arts. After graduation, Madieth worked as a teacher for Richmond Public Schools. It was the perfect job, because she could travel during the summer and be involved with theater – performing in community and dinner theaters, summer theater at Dogwood Dell, TV commercials, industrial films, and as a film extra. She also worked several years as a per diem reading consultant for SRA-McGraw-Hill. Today, Madieth spends her retirement doing whatever she wants and enjoying every minute of it. <img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/MaloneMadieth1972-01.JPG" alt="" /> Isabelle LeSane was born and raised in Richmond, VA and educated in the Richmond Public School System. She had no experience with interracial schooling until she came to Westhampton. But she was raised in a family of entrepreneurs and that gave her plenty of practice in dealing with many nationalities. Like her father, Isabelle never met a stranger, so enrolling in an all white school was not a challenge for her.  At the University of Richmond, Isabelle majored in Russian with the intention of becoming an interpreter at the UN. But life intervened and she got married and had children instead and didn’t want to leave Richmond. Because she had earned a teacher’s certificate while at the university, Isabelle applied for and was hired by RPS. Although she was hired as a German teacher, she was given the opportunity to teach Russian once it was known that she had that expertise. Isabelle is now retired and spends her days doing fun things with her grandkids and with friends who are in the same boat-being intentionally lazy and unapologetic! <img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/ThomasIsabelle1969-01.JPG" alt="" /><img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/ThomasIsabelle1970-01.JPG" alt="" /><img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/ThomasIsabelle1971-01.JPG" alt="" /><img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/ThomasIsabelle1972-01.JPG" alt="" /> Subject The topic of the resource African students Alumni and alumnae Black people Black women Civil rights movement College integration College sports College students, Black College students, Foreign College students, Men College students, Nigerian College students--Attitudes College teachers College theater Commuting college students Coordinate college system Curricula Discrimination Diversity Drama festivals Glee clubs Greene, Barry High school student activities High school students History--Study and teaching Intervention (Federal government) Junior high school students Minority college students--Recruiting Motion pictures Nigerian students Opera Performance Protests Race Race relations Racial awareness Racism Richmond (Va.)
