THE SUMMER SCHOOL WEEKLY
FRIDAY, JUNE 7. 1957
Gool Down To A
Casual Summer
More ivy league than the ivy league, and
more casual than the most casual that's UNC
in the summer.
Students come to summer school either
because they have to or to play and have fun,
but even those who plan to work will find an
easy-going atmosphere.
The knock-kneed, Bermuda clad "Carolina
gentlemen" will loiter around the campus coolly,
while their feminine counterparts sweat the
day out in crinolines, swishing in and out of
classes and the library, envying the male's at
tire. But ladies must be ladies.
At the crack of dawn, students, sleepy-eyed
and hungry, will set out for classes where
professors try to decide whether to keep up
appearances with coats or be comfortable with
sports shirts.
Those 7:30 dawns never give up until Sat
urdays, either.
When the final hot class of the day reaches its
end, students have to get that few minutes rest
before setting out for Hogan's or the swimming
pool. Then the fun begins.
But we must not be so idealistic. There is
always work to be done in the library, that
ever-threatening structure. Students come and
go from this campus, but those class buildings
and the libraries are apparently indestructible.
For those who have been here all year, there
will be new faces. New friendships consequently
will bloom and fraternity houses will boom!
For the students there will be a change of
atmosphere, certainly, but for those ever-present
professors, house mothers, landladies and police
men, duty offers no rest. It may be even more
trying.
But we only have summer once a year, and
we only, have UNC summers while we are
young, so we may as well be as ivy league and
casual as possible while there is opportunity,
and while the South Building bell tolls our days
into life and summer fun.

Campus Activities:
Invitation for Fun
Along with the glad hand of welcome extend
ed to summer school students today on the
opening of the new term, an abundant variety
of activities also is offered that we hope will
prove more stimulating than the narrow con
fines of a bridge game or other similar pas
times. This summer there is offered such a wealth
of extra -curricula activities and so many
opportunities to meet and make new friends
that those enrolled in summer school can ill
afford to pass them up.
All this adds up to just one thing:
There are many ways at Carolina to make
this your pleasantest summer ever.
Thes rest is up to you.

SUMMER SPOTLIGHT
Southern Belle To Lead
Summer School Activities
By BILL CHESHIRE
Summer breezes at UNC will
bear the delicate fragrance of
magnolia blossoms, honeysuckle
and yellow jasmine, for a blue
eyed belle from the deep South
has assumed command of sum
mer school activities.
She is Nola Jean Hatten, who
hails from the Gulf Coast city of
Pascagoula, Miss. Nola is chair
man of the Summer School
Activities Council, which plans to
provide students with enter
tainment in keeping with "the
relaxed atmosphere of the UNC
summer campus."
Nola is a member of the Alpha
Gamma Delta sorority for which
she was house manager during
the past year. Also she has been a
member of the Orientation Com
mittee, the Women's Residence
Council, the YWCA and the
Southern Regional Council. She
was secretary of the University
Speakers last year and will be
president of the Baptist Student
Union this summer.
In addition to these extra cur
riculas, Nola somehow found time
to help with the Student Govern
ment's leadership training pro
gram. Nola attended Stevens College
prior to her arrival here. At
Stevens she was likewise an
active participant in various stu
dent activities. She came to UNC
because of the English depart
ment here.
"Most girls choose UNC because
of the boy-girl ratio," Nola says.
"But UNC's English department
is well . thought of at Stevens,
and I came here because of that."
After graduating with an A.B.
in English at the end of the first
summer session, Nola will be a
special student for one additional
semester. After that she may
teach high school English at
Pascagoula.
Asked about her formula for
success, Nola 'had this to say:
"Never accept a job unless you
feel that you can do it; then do
your very best." 14
Nola's many and varied activi
ties at UNC as well as the man
ner in which they have been
executed are a testimonial to the
practicality of her formula.
New Students Welcomed
By President Sonny Evans
Student Body Presdent Sonny
Evans yesterday extended a warm
welcome to - newly-arriving stu
dents on the UNC campus for the
first summer session.
, "Though many of you will not
have the privilege of being with
us in the fall," Evans said, "let
me welcome you to the outstand
ing university in the South in the
most beautiful college town in
America.
"Regardless of your reasons
for attending this summer session,
I'm sure that you will find what
you are looking for at Carolina.
"The Student Government or
ganization for summer-school is
much more streamlined than the
fall, consisting . of a President,
Secretary-Treasurer and a Sum
mer Activities Council. However
let me remind you that the Honor
System is still in effect, giving us
the same academic freedom which
we enjoy the rest of the year.
Violators of the honor code will
be tried by either the Men's or
Women's Summer School Honor
Council headed by Sandy Sanders
and Katherine Coe.
"The responsibility not to ,lie,
cheat, or steal and to report any
one seen doing so is coordinate
with being a student at the Uni
versity, and I am certain that
everyone will cooperate in such
an essential part of Carolina life.
"Please feel free to come up to
the Student Government office at
any time, since we are always
eager to hear your opinions and
listen to your ideas. There is also
a great deal of work which has to
be done in the summer and your
help will be needed and much
appreciated."
Confidentially...
BY BARRY WINSTON
Of the three people who will read this, two are
new to the campus. The information contained
herein is for both of you. The old timers can go
back to drinking their coffee, and contemplating
the wild life on the steps of South Building.
In keeping with the rash of "Confidentials"
that have plagued us over ttye past several years,
this will be Chapel Hill, Confidential.
If, after a hard day, spent slaving over a hot
desk, you wander away from the shelter of your
dorm in search of entertainment and solace of the
soul, pray don't be discouraged by the lack of
violent activity on our main thoroughfare. Be of
stout heart. With a small amount of imagination
and an automobile you can find amusemnts to
suit your every mood. What's that? You don't
have a car? . Pish Tosh. No matter. Strike out on
foot. It's not that far to Durham.
BUT LET'S TAKE an inventory. Franklin Street
is lined on both sides with the friendly and open
doors of establishments which exist only to serve
you. And they will serve you anything from a
short brew to a tall western (movie, that is). The
beverage dispensaries are many and varied, to fit
every taste from the hayseed to the continental.
Nearly every one of them has a television set,
which you can never hear, but then, after an hour
or so, your date will be more interesting than
Howdy Doody anyway. They all serve food of one
sort or another, the quality of which varies from
, place to place, but their main purpose, as nearly as
I have been able to find out, is strictly to dish out
the beer that made Milwaukee famous, or what
ever else you'll have along that line.
THE EATERIES are even more numerous than
the drinkeries, and that's going some. They, all
serve palatable chow which can be digested by all
but the very fussiest of eaters, and those people
have no business in college, anyway. Getting an
education has always required a strong stomach.
The price you pay depends pretty much on what
you want and how your tastes run. Anyone with
the price of two beers in his pocket can get a good
staple meal, so if you'd rather eat than drink,
you've just about got it made.
There are only two places within easy walking
distance where one may go to dance. , The closest
one (it's the closest one to me) is in the basement
of Graham Memorial, and it's called, among other
things, the Rendezvous Room. It has nice music,
a generally quiet atmosphere, and not too much
light. If you want a drink, there's a coke machine
right outside the door.
The Pine Room, which is in the basement of
Lenoir Hall, also has floor space for dancing. If
you walk in there and don't see anyone dancing,
or even anywhere to dance, don't get shook. It's in
the back, behind that odd. looking partition. Its
real claim to fame is the fact that food is only a
dozen steps away.
MOVIES ARE BIGGER than ever. Or some
thing like that. If you like Gina in VistaVision
and stereophonic sound, with gowns by Frank
Lloyd Wright, you have a wide range from which
to choose. The Carolina or the Varsity. The prices
are a little ridiculous, but still better than Dur
ham, and you're going to go anyhow, so go ahead.
Of course, if you have a car, there's the Valley
Drive-In (you'd look pretty silly going to a drive
in without a car) , but if you get that far, chances
are you'll see the Patio and go there instead.
The Patio has cold brew, and a nice place to
dance. Also boxes and boxes of pretzels. In case
you don't know quite how to get there, just start
out the road toward Durham and, after while, if
you can negotiate that clover-leaf or whatever it
is, you'll be there.
The Wishing Well is right across the street, but
I've never been inside it. . By the time I get that
far, my legs are so tired that I can't walk any
further than the nearest booth in the Patio. (I
don't have a car either, and it's a good four miles
out there.)
QUIET THOUGH it may seem, Chapel Hill is
actually overflowing with opportunities for activi
ties after dark. If you don't drink, smoke, dance
or eat, then there's always the library where you
can go and study undisturbed. I'd give you direc
tions, but it's been so long I've forgotten exactly
how to get there.
