Coed Views - Old And New
By Peggy Keith
(Editor's Note: Peggy hails
from Amsterdam, Va., and is a
rising senior at the Universiay. In
the following article she gives
her views of what it is like re
turning to ' Carolina , as an eld
Coed, or senior student at the
University.) " ' ; J i i
No welcoming committee? No
band playing "Welcome Home"
(well, for nine months anyway!)
This'll never do," I, the Old Girl,
murmured to myself. I didn't
know I was calmly murmuring
the prize understatement of the
year. Now that time has healed
those sad wounds, I -can gayly,
even laughingly, tell of the first
Clay (Sept. 10) back at the Hill.
The tale won't take long. In
brief, it was this no one was
here! No, that statement isn't
quite true. Many girls were, here
not many cdmpared to the num
ber now present, but many com
pared to .the number of males
then present. .
As I look back, the thought
occurs to me that this situation
was perhaps fortunate. For, in
our efforts to impress the new
coeds, those present were soon re
duced to paint-smeared, dirty
faced, jeans-clad individuals,
' I reached one important con
clusion immediately. Carolina just
isn't Carolina with Aggies, Har
ry's, the Porthole, etc., closed,
with about three lonesome cars in
big fraternity court, and with no
Tar Heels strolling the campus.
They tell me the football team
was here, but they go to sleep at
ten anyway. The. crowning shdck
for- people' like" me' who--hadn't-been
here since June, was the
new face on the Curve Inn and
the Thing that's happened to the,
Durham run. However, just as
these things, while temporarily
sad, have their brighter side (on
completion of the new road, the
thirsty can - leave Chapel Hill at
8:45), so do all the other tearful
points Fve mentioned. ,
Now I can really appreciate
seeing all the people again. It
gives you such, a nice feeling of
bslonging to walk down Franklin
and meet so many familiar faces.
Graham Memorial is busy again;
the old hangouts are open; and
all the new faces make life that
much more interesting. (Though I
do wish boys wouid quit looking
through me ;and saying, ."Where
are all the new girls? We want to
meet the new girls!")
It's good, too, not to have that
little sinking feeling we got last
year, on walking into the maze
that was registration at Woollen
Grym. I felt almost like a "wheel"
as I breezed through to get rny
football passes and, incidentally,
class cards.
Since everyone is beginning to
stop wandering around and Caro
lina is her wonderful self again,
I'jll take my tongue out of my
cheek and say what you all knew
i! was going to say in the first
place. It does feel like coming
home, and we're very glad to be
back. Maybe' Tliomas Wolfe was

HOW TO STUDY

p By Wanda Philpofi :-
(Editor's Note; Wanda trans
ferred to the University this fall
from the University of West Vir
ginia In her article she relates
typical impressions of a new co
ved' s first days at Carolina.)
, , "So this is Carolina.", Like
probably every other f woUd -be
coed,' these were the first words
that entered 7 my "mind ' when -1
caught my first glimpse of the
"ivy colored halls' of Chapel Hill!
There was little time, howeverj,
to mull over this intriguing little
passing thought. t First -was the
!morej immediate necessity of
charting my way through the
seemingly impenetrable forest
that loomed ahead and somehow
locating the dorm which was to
be my home for the next two (if
I'm lucky) years,; What was this
vast; forest? Later, after one of
the many campus tours,vI learn
ed it was the Arboretum. As my
compass had, been left at home,
I was happy to learn also that not
all the campus is covered by so
dense a foliage. -
Finally I-found the dorm. On
entering I was confronted by a
multitude of strange faces, great
stacks of bags and trunks, and
an ; atmosphere of' general chaos.
A few girls, noticeable because
of their yellow ribbons labeled
"adviser" and airs of composure,
were attempting to correct the
situation, so I approached one.
Advice i was something I assured-
try needed at the moment, and
needed badly.
lit i ess time than itftakes-J; to
think I was hustled off to my
room, assisted in my unpacking,
and introduced to a horde of fel
low sufferers (none of whose
names I could remember at first) :
By this time my distressed par
ents had left, probably with the
feeble hope that very soon their
daughter would be happy and ad-

justed. And so began my" first
day at Carolina. . . .
Happy I am,- and adjusted I'm
not . , quite. But I'm well on
the way thanks to the well plan
ned orientation program that be
gan almost the minute I arrived.
One doesnt have to be complete
ly adjusted to Carolina, however,
to realize that she has found a
second home here.
It' is impossible to keep from
being filled with the Carolina
spirit J and fitting in with the
Carolina way of life. The immed
iate friendliness of everyone
more than compensates for those
first moments of confusion, and
I feel certain that every new coed
like myself has f ound-Carolina
to be everything she expected
and much more.
Such were my impressions as
a new coed, and today, after less
than" a Week in Chapel Hill, I am
proud to say, 'T am a Carolina
Coed." -
