Information Lady
Has An Answer For Every
By SUNDE SMITH
Special To The DTH
"Do you know of any places
in Chapel Hill where men can
stay on weekends?" a UNC
coed hopefully asked. "I know
about the Carolina Inn but it's
way out of my pocketbook."
Quick with the answer was
Mrs. Hamlin Wade, reception
ist at the Information Desk in
South Building, who referred
the girl to the Dean of Men's
office to inquire about dormi
tory spaces.
. Mrs. Wade, personable and
always wearing a dimpled
smile, answers scores of ques
tions like this every day as
students, professors, and visi
tors call or come by the desk.
In commenting on the job
which she has held for almost
two years, Mrs. Wade said,
"You have to know practically
everything about this campus.
You always have to give some
kind of answer." Then she
added with her dimples deep
ening, "There's never a dull
moment."
Aside from answering ques
tions received in person and by
phone, Mrs. Wade opens Uni
versity mail and takes many
campus police calls. Her tele
phone is equipped with a
switch which will transfer
calls to her if a police officer
doesn't answer.
WELGO'lE,
DOOK!
You're always welcome In
North Carolina's favorite
bookshop.
But watch out for those chaps
over at Kenan Stadium.
While they're in the shop,
they're nice as can be. . But
once on the field, they tend to
be mighty mean to represent
atives of your institution. ,
When the dust settles, come
visitinf. We're not mad at
anybody. ,

"If it's urgent I either try
to find an officer or contact
Chief Beaumont on his car
phone," she said. "There is al
ways an officer directing traf
fic in front of the building for
the ten minutes before each
hour."
Along with routine campus
mail, Mrs. Wade often finds
some rather unusual items.
This week she received a let
ter addressed to "U.N. Un
restity, Chapel Hill, N.C." In
side the envelope was a piece
of note paper with the word
"Peral" scrawled in pencil in
a child's handwriting. "My
only guess is that the child was
trying to order something,"
she said.
Mrs. Wade works from 8:30
a.m. until 4:30 p.m. weekdays,
and from 8:30 a.m. until noon
on Saturdays, but the desk re
mains open 24 hours a day. A
student is on duty until about
10 p.m. The night policeman
works until 4:30 a.m., when
he is relieved by the janitor.
A typical day at the desk
for Mrs. Wade began this week
with the question, "Where can
I have my grades and records
evaluated so I can obtain my
draft status?"
"The Records Office in
Hanes Hall," was her prompt
reply.
Another student inquired
about jobs as resident advisors
in men's dormitories. Mrs.
Wade referred him to the Dean
of Men's office.
"Who has information on the
planning of new buildings such
as the proposed Student Un
ion?" asked one coed.
"See Mr. Tuttie, the long
range planner. His office is on
the top floor of Bynum," was
Mrs. Wade's advice.
Then the phone rang. "What
can I do about parking 70 cars
for a meeting today at More
head Planetarium?" asked a
woman. "I don't have time to
give the people tickets to park
in Emerson Field."
"Just do the best you can,"

The UNC Information Lady
was Mrs. Wade's reply.
Another phone call 'Where
can I get a baby sitter?" Mrs.
Wade told them to call the Stu
dent Aid office.
And so on it continued like
this through the rest of the
day.
The busiest times at the
desk, according to Mrs. Wade,
are before exam periods, dur
ing drop-add, and at the be
ginning of each semester.
"People are lined up all the
way out the door at the be
ginning of every semester,"
she said.

schedules, a list of faculty
room numbers, and a month
ly calendar. She also has a
ready supply of class sched
ule manuals and campus
maps.
"In fact, you can get a lit- ,
tie bit of everything here,"
she laughed.
The most frequent question
asked at the desk is," Where ,
is the Admissions Office?"
Mrs. Wade said that at least
. 30 prospective students came
to the desk with that qustion
just last Saturday.
Mrs. Wade also receives
many inquiries about room
numbers and office hours of
faculty advisors. She keeps a
list with all this information,
and then the student has to
. make an appointment with
the advisor's secretary.
Although she can remember
receiving no crank calls, Mrst
"Wades "does get'a' few 'unnec
essary ones.
"A man called this week
and asked the telephone num
ber of the Central Carolina
Bank which has nothing to do
with general campus informa
tion," she said. "Besides, he
probably had a directory
available himself.

Royal Christmas
Gets Early Start
LONDON (UPD Christmas
always starts early for Queen
Elizabeth II.
Being the queen, she has to
send Christmas cards to so
many people. This year she
started signing them a few
each day when she returned
to London in October from her
annual vacation at her castle
at Balmoral in the Scottish
Highlands.
She had a family group pho
tograph taken in September
while at Balmoral to be used
as her personal greetings card
for relatives and friends. For
official greetings he uses an
engraved card, usually bear
a reproduction of a famous
painting in the royal collec
tion. ,,
The queen very much enjoys
another of her Christmas prep
arations her once - a - year
shopping expedition.
Etiquette normally precludes
her from doing any personal
shopping in public, and every
thing has to be brought to her
at Buckingham Palace. But
she is able to shop for gifts.
So her practice is to drive
out early one morning in De
cember to a big department
store where she has an ac
count. The manager meets her
at the back door and takes her
around to choose the gifts for
her list of several hundred
names. ,
She always takes a very
good look because she is rare
ly likely to be inside a shop

again for another vear
Her Christmas gifts are nev
er very expensive because, by
royal custom, jewels and other
costly presents within the fam
ily are given only on birthdays
or upon marriage.
Gloves, perfume, china and
glass, handkerchiefs, books
and records are among the
queen's choices.
She never buys ties for men.
"They'd rather do that them
selves," she has said.
NO BOOZE
Neither does she give them
tobacco or alcohol. The only
exception to this rule is that
she sometimes sends a two
bottle box of champagne to
someone who is ill, having
first asked her secretary to
make sure it is not medically
forbidden.
Her toy purchases are large
because there are 18 children
in the royal family now and
the queen also has 23 god
children.
The queen writes an affec
tionate little note to go with
every personal gift.
Postal charges do not worry
her because her mail is never
stamped. It goes through a
special private post office in
side Buckingham Palace. Or
some is delivered directly by
messengers.
For a century the royal
family traditionally spent
Christmas at Sandringham,
the royal estate an eastern
England. But the queen broke
the custom in 1964 and chang
ed to Windsor Castle, 25 miles
from London, because it is
more . accessible, more com
fortable, and the favorite of all
her homes.
All the members of the royal
family are invited to join the
queen's house party, which
starts the day before Christ
mas Eve and lasts five days.
Gifts are exchanged, after
dinner on Christmas Eve and
the gaily wrapped packages
are laid out under the Christ
mas tree to be unwrapped aft
er breakfast on Christmas
morning. Then everybody goes
to a carol service in the near
by chapel.
Another visit is made to
church on Christmas morn
ing. The traditional turkey and
plum pudding dinner is served
at 1:30 p.m., not inthe eve
ning, so that all the children
over 10 can attend. The turkey
with its chestnut stuffing is
carried in by the chef to musi
cal accompaniment. Cham
pagne, mince pies, candles and
crackers complete the occa
sion. The younger children have a
simpler meal upstairs.
