Here is the student's record of her exclusive interview with Otelia. Otelia Connor, dressed in a suit and a large hat, sat in the Graham Memorial lounge reading the latest issue of Time. She was very glad to meet me, offered me a cig arette, and said that I "wasn't a bit late." A good start for a novice in her first inter view. Sitting on a comfortable red couch, one of UNC's "cam pus wonders" began her life story. The little lady who has made the improvement of Carolina manners her life's mission is from a long line of Tar Heels. Her grandfather, an 1840 UNC graduate, and her father were trustees of the University. Connor Dorm is named for one of her relatives. As she lit her second cig arette, Mrs. Connor's eyes be came distant, remembering her childhood on a North Car olina plantation. "I had a governess until I went to high school in Dur ham. Then I went to Duke for a year before getting a two year diploma in physical edu cation at Saratoga Springs." Before her marriage, Otelia taught in Durham schools for three years. She has two grown children a married daughter who was a student at UNC-G and a son who graduated with honors, from law school here, in 1957. "When my husband died, I retired here, and now I fer like I own the place," she said with a big smile. "UNC has too many problems for Otelia to solve, but I just like to get people to think about things." The highlight of her rise to fame was in 1963 when the I I July issue of Time comment--ed on her interest in "doing something about students' ; manners " She had iust Civ-: en a talk at Duke "whose! manners are worse than ours" when CBS and NBC started calling. Otelia feels, however, that her most effective method is'. and tell them what she thinks. People know she loves the University, but "if I didn't do it, no one would" sums upj her approach. j Now Otelia spends much of j her time reading and writing., While reaching for another! cigarette, she produced two articles "waiting to be print ed." One was concerned with student attitudes toward Viet Nam. "That one's been sitting in the Tar Heel office for three weeks. I don't expect to get everything printed, but that's a little long, don't you think?" After all, what would we do without her?

THE SINFONIANS IN PERFORMANCE ON VVUNC'S FOCUS 'Sinfonians' Show Trend To Jazz The sound of music on cam pus is strictly jazz, according to "The Sinfonians." Billed as a "concert-dance jazz band," this group of 15 artists has demonstrated in the past year that Carolina students are not as completely lacking in mu sical taste as most of the Sat urday night combo parties might indicate. "We see a definite trend among both fraternities and residence halls away from a constant dose of rock 'n' roll," says Gus Dearman, who plays baritone sax. "Cocktail par ties, pledge weekend formals, and formal banquets are events where jazz combos and big bands are really in de mand. The DKE's, DU's, and ADPi's are calling us regular ly for these gigs." C R.GPfU, 3) 15 JThs A recent example of jazz in residence halls was "Southern Serenade," presented by Mor rison, Craige, Ehringhaus, and Scott College. This concert of jazz music was held on the Maverick House lawn after the Maryland football game. Byron McCoy, governor of Morrison, was well - pleased with the success of the proj ect. "We modeled the program after both Carolina's Jubilee and the Newport Jazz Festi val," he said. "Most of the guys had dates and relaxed on blankets, although chairs were available too. We plan to do this again in the spring, as soon as it warms up. We'll put on a bigger show and it will be open to the entire campus." The Sinfonians had their biggest audience ever at last spring's Jubilee. They ap peared on the Saturday night Heart Institute Approves Grant To Study Breathing UNC is due to get a five-year grant to use computers to study the human body during breathing. The $91,000 award was approved by the National Heart Institute. The research could be signif icant in the treatment of pa tients with lung disorders and in the care of patients during and after chest surgery. Project director is Dr. Rich ard M. Peters, professor of surgery in charge of chest surgery and co-director of the Clinical Heart - Lung Labora tory at the School of Medicine. With computer techniques devised in laboratories here, a research team will seek a bet ter understanding of the amount of work a person must do to breathe.

The Sinfonians are led by Keith McClelland, who also plays vibes and piano in the band. Most of the members of the group are students at Car olina. However, The Sinfoni ans have become so well known throughout the state that many of the top jazz men in nearby areas travel to Chapel Hill to play with them. Among the band's soloists are Jim Hunt, Buddy Parker, and Jim Crawford. "We also have a brand-new feature with the band," reports Mc Clelland.
