Friday. July 25, 1S37 ' Psge 2 THE SUMMER SCHOOL WEEKLY Stop Awhile Sfop And Think At Carolina, weekends are known as the time of the exodus. Practically everyone deserts the UNC campus when classes end Friday. and mi grates eastward toward the balmy shores of Vir ginia and the two Carolinas. The cares that infest the day to day existence of a summer school student are forgotten during , a few brief moments of sunshine, sea spray and sand dunes. For a golden interlude, there are no books, instructors or humid classrooms. There is only relaxation, contentment and freedom at least until Monday morning. But stop and think for a moment. What if you had to spend your weekend away from Chapel Hill lying in a hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, wondering how you got there and when the pain was going to stop? What if those two grisly words "highway accident" entered your life? Don't scoff. It happens to hundreds of people just like you every day. That next beach trip could be your last, or it could be the beginning of a life - time of agony and regrets. It can't happen to you? Visualize the following scene: You are behind the wheel of your car, breez-" ing toward a weekend of laughter and gaiety at one of the nearby ocean playgrounds. You and your carefree companions are in a,hurry; a week end is such a short time. - You come up behind a ponderous, slow-moving truck. Pull over buddy, and let me by, you say to yourself. You grow impatient. Ah, there's a bit of daylight ahead. Probably nothing coming over that hill. I think I'll take a chance. So you pull around the truck to pass. As you draw abreast and top the crest of the hill, a speed ing bus looms directly in front of you. For one moment, you know absolute panic. Your foot slams the brake pedal in an empty gesture of defiance. But you know it is too late. Too late. If you are among the lucky, you die. But if not, you live to know the pain, the awful pain of mem ory that haunts you day and night as you gaze at the whitewashed walls of your hospital room. Physical pain is there too, but overriding all is the memory that will never die. Stop awhile, dear reader. Stop and think. Think of broken bones, splintered glass, dripping blood and oil slicks: these are the ingredients that make up a highway accident. In their wake they leave uprooted lives and lost weekends. They leave scars that never heal. Stop awhile .... Stop and think. Wonder When.... UNC will start building the new basketball gym officials have been talking about for the past five years? Coeds Will be allowed to wear Bermudas around campus? - The administration will stop talking about a new student union and do something? It will dawn on someone that it gets hot in Chapel Hill in the summertime and that Carolina needs air-conditioning? The General Assembly will realize that UNC is losing some of its best instructors due, to low salaries? Socially Speaking By Mary Alys Voorhees l. i Kr'M-r:;-rMSt,4nxs km i i ill miMlSaBmllmlttlm Mi (Photo By Bill King) JUDY DAVIS OF PRINCETON. N. J. Participates In Many Activities SUMMER SPOTLIGHT Girl Without A Country Plans To Settle En Dixie By BILL CHESHIRE Judy Davis, to say the least, has been around. Born in Denver, Colo., she has sinced lived in Fort Worth, Tex., Staten Island, N. Y., Ellis Island, N. Y., Madison, Wis., and Princeton, N. J. "At home people call me a Rebel; down here they call me a yankee; in the East I am called a cowgirl and out west the folks say I'm a tenderfoot. If looks as though I'm just a girl without a country." So said Judy in a con fusing potpourri of regional dia lects. Judy came to UNC in Septem ber of 1955 and entered the School of Nursing. After a year and a half she decided that she was "too slow and unorganized to make up three or four beds and bathe three or four people in an hour." Since this seemed an essential part of her nursing cur riculum, she transferred to the Dept. of History. She plans to receive her degree in History in 1959. . ' ' Judy says that she find the people at Carolina the school's greatest attribute. "I like all the people just the friendliest place I've ever been," she said. And if anyone has had an opportunity to meet and learn about people at Carolina, Judy should have. Her activities at UNC have in cluded the following: member of the Student Pfcrty; social chair man and membership chairman of the SP; member of the Elec tions Board; Exhibit chairman of the Carolina Symposium on Pub lic Affairs for 1956, and Honor aries editor, co-Beauty editor and ' co-managing editor of the 1956 '57 Yackety Yack. Last session she was chairman of the Watermelon Queen con test. She is also a member of the Summer School Student Govern ment Board and is publicity chairman of the Summer Activi ties Council. Judy says she plans to settle in Atlanta, Ga. Maybe they can teach Colorado-born Judy to drink pot likker out of a ten gallon hat.
