tumor s note: Ihis is the eighth in a continuing series
examining programs and activities within campus
dormitories.
Weekly Bible studies and knitting classes, hall dinners,
spades tournaments and intramural contests allow Cobb and
Joyner residents to get to know one another as well as get a
break from the books.
"With over 400 girls living in Cobb we have a variety of
interests which require a wide variety of activities to get
everybody together," said Jan Bolick, Cobb president.
Favorites in past years have been dorm breakfasts, salad
bars, ice cream study breaks and round-robin, double
elimination spades tournaments.
Little Sisters weekend was held for the East Carolina
game; the girls invited their younger sisters to Chapel H ill for
the weekend, treating them to the game and special meals.
Last spring, Cobb residents held an auction to raise money
for social functions. When everybody was moving out and
throwing away things they didn't want, the girls placed silent
bids with the highest bid taking the item. The money was
added to the hall social fund for activities this fall.
Most of the mixers don't involve the entire dorm but just
halls where 40 or 60 girls live. The mixers are planned and
financed by each hall. According to Bolick, it is not unusual

Our hall mixers involve Lower Quad dorms so we can use
confederation funds," said Martha Freeman, Cobb vice
president. We also branch out to fraternities and other
dorms on campus.'
- Cobb traditions include a formal at Valentine's Day, a
vnrisimas pany complete wnn aania viaus ana caroung,
and a beach party for the last day of classes of spring
semester.
Cobb residents receive a monthly newsletter, "Fresh Off
the Cobb" and annually compile a scrapbook complete with
pictures of all dorm activities.
Last year Cobb was selected as "Dorm of the Year" in a
contest sponsored by the Residence Hall Association. The
selection was based on dorm administration, social events,
orientation programs and special projects.
"Although there are a variety of women living here, there
are still little things that make you feel unified," Bolick said.
"There's always someone you haven't met, but it's still like
one big family."
"The biggest thing that has happened to Joyner was
joining Morehead Confederation this fall," said Carol
Browning, Joyner president. "Until this fall we were the last
independent dorm on campus."
In addition to Cobb, Joyner and Aycock, the Morehead
Confederation includes the Lower Quad men's
dormitories Lewis, Everett, Stacy and Graham.
"Our confederation membership will be most worthwhile
during the orientation program next fall, but of course the
activities throughout the year also mean a lot," Browning
said.
Intradorm activities include knitting classes, Bible studies,
hall dinners and study breaks. A hot dog dinner and a moon
bathing party with men's dorms plus active intramural
participation have highlighted the semester.
Traditionally at Christmas the residents play Secret Santa,
leaving candy, fruit, pencils or other small gifts anonymously
at one another's doors. A big Christmas party complete with
tree trimming and Santa Claus allow the residents to
exchange gifts and discover their Secret Santa.
A program committee is being organized to provide a
speaker once a month. The most recent speaker was Bill
Lam, UNC wrestling coach, speaking on women's self
defense. Other scheduled programs include speakers from
the Rape Crisis Center and the Association of Women

"We want to involve our women in as many dorm activities
as possible," Browning said. "We want everybody to feel like
Joyner is their home and they're really a part of it."
As pari of the Morehead Confederation, Cobb and Joyner
are sponsoring a Fall Festival from 2 to 6 p.m., Friday in
Lower Quad, for the entire campus to get together and
unwind after midterms.
Highlights of the afternoon festivities include
entertainment by local musicians, volleyball games and
carnival foods.
"We want to make a carnival-type atmosphere and give
students a chance to lake a break after midterms," Browning
said.
The following evening, Cobb and J oyner will participate in
a confederation costume party and dance in the Morehead
Cellar in Cobb basement.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UPI) The board
of directors of Booth Newspapers Inc.
announced Wednesday it has accepted an
offer by newspaper magnates. I. Newhouse
to buy controlling interests of Booth for $47
a share.
Industry analysts said the $259-million
acquisition was the largest in newspaper
history.
James E. Sauter, president of the
Michigan newspaper group, said further
details of the offer will be disclosed when
Newhouse files the tender offer with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Sauter said, however, that Newhouse had
agreed to continue the present management
and keep the company at its present location.
Newhouse purchased 25.5 per cent of
Booth's stock last February, and the
company had been resisting a complete
takeover.
Sauter said the Times Mirror Co., which
had offered to buy the company's 7.4 million
shares for $40 per share, had withdrawn its
offer after Newhouse came in with the higher
bid. The Booth board had approved the
Times Mirror offer last Friday, two days
before the Newhouse bid was made.
The acquisition will give Newhouse
control over all Booth properties, including
eight daily newspapers in Michigan and
Parade magazine, a Sunday supplement
with a circulation of 19 million.
"Based on recent events, it is clearly in the
interests of Booth and our stockholders to
accept this offer and we enthusiastically
recommended it," Sauter said.
"Personal contact with Mr. Newhouse,
experiences with his associates and a study of
his operating policies have led to a high
regard for him and his organization. We
look forward to joining the Newhouse
organization."
Booth's seven directors met for an hour at
company headquarters here before
announcing their unanimous decision.
Sauter then issued a written statement and
engaged in a brief question and answer
session with reporters.
Newhouse owns 22 newspapers in 15
cities, including the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
Portland Oregonian, New Orleans Times
Picayune, Newark NJ. Star-Ledger,
Birmingham Ala. News and St. Louis Globe

Spaulding charges lack of new initiatives
by Chris Fuller
Staff Writer
Asa Spaulding, black Republican
candidate for N.C. secretary of state,
charged Wednesday that his Democratic
opponent has failed to initiate new state
government programs.
Speaking at a Union press conference
sponsored by the UNC Young Republicans,
Spaulding said Democratic incumbent Thad
Eure "is not providing new initiatives.
"What new ideas can come from a 40-year-old
incumbent and 77-year-old man?
"We're offering new programs, we're
offering new initiatives," he said.
Spaulding said a small business agency
would be one of his top priorities. He said
that small businesses cannot compete with
large businesses in bidding for state
1.1m ileitis, ouv.il ail agtuv-jr wuuiu oti ttiuuii
contracts aside exclusively for small
businesses.
"They (small businesses) need a fairer
shake and a better opportunity." Spaulding
called small businesses the backbone of the
state and said that 75 per cent of North
Carolina business owners, operators and
employees axe in small .businesses.
After the 20-member audience indicated
that they did not know the duties of the
secretary of state, Spaulding said: "A man
has been in office 40 years and yet intelligent
people like you have here don't know what
he does.
"I think it's time for a change," he said.
Spaulding said the secretary of state
charters corporations, commissions notary
publics, has custodial responsibility for the
state constitution, legislation and official
seal. He said that all duties are delegated by
the state constitution and approximately 50
general statutes.
Spaulding said a major duty of the
secretary of state is to provide input into the
overall decision-making process by serving
on the Council of State, North Carolina's
equivalent to the presidential Cabinet.
Spaulding said that he was not in a
position to say whether the Department of
Secretary of State is running efficiently or
not. But he said that if elected he will Conduct
an internal systems audit to study the
department's efficiency.
Spaulding said that independent voters
and disenchanted black voters will allow him
to defeat Eure, a long-time Democrat. He
said that black Democrats are upset with the
defeat of Howard Lee and may vote against
the Democratic ticket.
Spaulding's press secretary, John
Templeton said, "He has a viable candidacy"
and cited endorsements of Spaulding by the
Greensboro Daily News and the Winston
Salem Journal.
Spaulding is the first black to win a major
party primary for a statewide office in the
South.
Students have new group for gripes
by Nancy Oliver
Staff Writer
Students now have a group that will listen
to their specific gripes and suggestions
concerning University and campus life.
The Campus Concerns Committee
(CCC), an outgrowth of the YMCA, is a
group of approximately 50 students from 25
dorms. Dorm officials were contacted by the
CCC and asked to elect or select
representatives to.the committejT
Brad McCormick, member-at-large on
the Executive Committee on the Y staff and
a CCC steering committee member, said,
"The CCC has been organized to hear
student gripes and ideas about any aspect of
the University.
"We're getting started this semester.
Members are asked to get and distribute
information," McCormick said.
He also said the 12-member steering
committee is in the process of setting specific
guidelines. The CCC's future projects
depend on the complaints and ideas
compiled in a recent survey.
The survey revealed a number of dislikes.
Some of the ones mentioned most were
concerns over student-professor relations,
the short drop-add period and the need for
more campus activities.
A "Coffee Klatch" is bring planned as a
solution to one of the complaints.
"We're working for the better student
professor relations that were named as a
dislike," McCormick said.
"We heard Lenoir Hall used to have
something of this sort a place where
students and professors will be able to get
together informally."
McCormick said the CCC would receive
help from Dean of Student Affairs Donald
Bouiton.
