Dorms getting aware of drugs, sex Grey, Poet-in-resistance Grey awarded top poetry prize by Sharon deck Getting the facts from people who know is the aim of the Moore and Sanford Halls Awareness Program (MASH-AP), which started last week. Experts in fields like drugs, sex, poverty, love and marriage, religion, and ecology will hold informal question-and-answer session, which are open to all students. Hopes are that the sessions will heighten awareness of and concern about issues of interest to college students, and will help to dispel any misinformation students may have. "Students can ask questions without intimidation or fear of appearing stupid," says Marian Beane, resident administrator of Sanford and co-coordinator of the program. The present topic of the sessions is drugs. Future sessions will deal with the medical aspects of drugs and with University policy toward drug users. About 100 students attended the first session. According to Miss Beane, the meeting was productive and interesting. Another goal of the program is to get the students out to where things are happening on these issues. Tentative plans call for visits to Open House, the state prison, and Broughton State Hospital. Because the program is experimental, plans for future sessions are still indefinite. Miss Beane and Dick Day, resident administrator in Moore, plan to continue and improve the program next year. Although the program uses student feedback and ideas, the resident administrators run it. They started it. Miss Beane said, because they have the time and resources to organize it. "We are not in competition with student programs," Miss Beane said. "But there is a need for a program like this, and if we had waited, it probably wouldn't have been done." 19 members IEEE begins UNCC group by sharon deck Dissemination of technical information is the main function of the newly-chartered UNCC chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Engineering students here cacame up with the idea of starting a UNCC chapter a month a^. Charlotte IEEE chairman Nick Melton presented the charter to the chapter at a luncheon two weeks ago. On February 16, the group will hear an engineer from General Electric, who will speak on preparing resumes and applying for jobs in engineering. All IEEE meetings are open to any interested student. IEEE is the most prestigious professional engineering organization. Students here hoped that being in a student chapter would facilitate membership in the larger group when they enter the profession. "An engineer who is not a member of IEEE is like a doctor who is not a member of the AM A." student George Thomas commented. The UNCC group now has 19' official members. About 15 applications for membership are being processed through the New York office of IEEE. Dr. Robert Coleman is counselor for the group. ihe journal michael mccuMey Charlie peek Sharon deck lay eaker tom alsop dave lazenby richard bartholomew, gordon briscoe, terry bottom, stan caton, Charlie hartis, george nell, elalne nlchols, and sieve wilcox. . . becky barnette, sharon deck, ken dye, Charles autrey, Iloyd rose, bob rowland, julla wlllls, j.c. meadows, lames cuthbertson. . . editor managing editor news editor arts editor photography editor cartoonist staff photographers staff The opinions expressed herein are nqt necessarily those of the University of North Carolina or UNCC or the student body, nor are opinions expressed in signed articles and columns necessarily those of the Editor or all members of the staff.
