I V 4 The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, February 8. UNC students discuss double majoring By AMY McRARV Staff Writer Interested in music and economics? What about history and math? Or have you discovered the major you idcalistically declared as a freshman may not help yoi.get a job, and you want to expand your chances for employment? Then you may want to join the ranks of UNC students who major in two fields. Though neither Records and Registration nor the College of Arts and Sciences has records of the number of students who double major, many do make that decision. And their reasons are as varied as the fields they choose! -'' Often a student will major in one subject, but after taking courses in another field, he finds that the second subject relates to his first choice. Also, many students with double majors like both subjects and believe (hey can handle the extra work load of two majors. Junior Diane Crigg was a nursing major when she discovered she also liked psychology. "I found out I liked psychology and felt it would bea help when 1 got my nursing degree," she said. "I had time to major in psychology as well as nursing because you only need eight courses for a psychology major." Though her adviser in nursing school thought the idea was great, when Diane went to declare her double major at arts and sciences, "they told me 1 couldn't do that. "One of the deans in arts and sciences, I forget which one, told me there was no way I could double major in nursingand psychology because they're two different schools." But Diane went to summer school to get all the courses required for a psychology degree and completed those requirements this past summer. Kim Painter, an English and journalism double major, decided as a freshman to major in English but later decided she w anted a better chance at employment after graduation. "My adviser in arts and sciences made a face when 1 told him 1 wanted to double major in journalism, but he understood my reason," Kim said. "When I came to UNC as an idealistic freshman, I came for education, not occupational training. But 1 decided to double major in journalism because it's the more practical side of English to me." Bo Genner is double majoring in economics and chemistry in hopes of getting into graduate school. He first majored in chemistry, hoping to get into medical school. "But in my junior year, I looked realistically at my chances of getting into med school and decided to also major in economics," Bo said. Symposium to By GEORGE JETER Staff W riter "Communication: Message and Medium" will be the topic for the 1978 Carolina Symposium March 13 through April 7. Forms of communication from body language to the mass media will be covered. Speakers for the symposium include journalists, psychologists and other experts in the communications field. "The World of Television," one of the main topics of the forum, will include talks by CBS reporter Charles Kuralt, Barbara Walters of the ABC Evening News and Commentator William F. Buckley, who will film a segment of "Firing Line" on campus. Anthony Lewis of the Sew York Times, Fred Graham of CBS News and N.C. Supreme Court justice I. Beverly Lake Jr. will speak on censorship and the First Amendment. Authors Hedrick Smith and Robert Cole will debate a representative of the Soviet news agency, Tass, and Y. N. Zassoursky, dean of Moscow State University School of Journalism, on communications in Soviet and American societies. Masters and Johnson sex therapist to discuss dysfunction, communication "More sexual problems are caused by poor communication between partners and bad attitudes toward sex. than by physical problems," reports Dr. John Reckless. Reckless will speak on "Sexual Dysfunction and Communication" at 8 p.m. Thursday in 106 Carroll. Reckless, a former professor of psychiatry al Duke, studied sexual therapy techniques at the famous Masters and Johnson clinic in St. Louis where he also worked as a therapist. He now directs a clinic in Durham which does marital and sexual counseling.

"I'm really double majoring sol can just walk on the beach because that's probably what I'll end up doing." Terry Sakiewicz. a senior majoring in both economics and industrial relations, said she decided to double major because requirements for both subjects overlapped. She had originally been an economics major but switched to industrial relations. "I had to lake more economics courses for an industrial relations major, so 1 just took the two extra courses 1 needed for a major in economics." Terry said. Tom Worth, a senior political science major who is also trying to major in business, said he is majoring in both fields because he really didn't like either enough to make it his only major. "1 was first a business major, but 1 found 1 really didn't like it. So I switched to political science, but I didn't like it So I decided to combine the two. I felt I had to get majors may not guarantee a betterjob. Dropping one subject is a frequent occurrence, according to Coenen. "This happens quite often." Coenen says. "The requirements for both majors may be loo strict, and the student has to graduate by a certain date." A student majoring in fine arts and another subject may not be guaranteed a better job. says Harold L. Andrews. Andrews is the Arts and Sciences adviser for students majoring in the fields of drama, music, art and RTVMP. "What is really important in fine arts is if the student has talent and can perform," Andrews says. "'He must show he can do the job. A double major is not a guarantee of that. A student can have just a plain B.A. and the ability to perform and get a job that a double major might not be qualified for." One problem for a student in fine arts wishing to double major is the time involved, Andrews says. Many fine arts majors are so structured that they allow little time to fulfill the requirements of the other major. "If the student remains at the University an extra length of time, he can get a double major if he selects his course right," Andrews says. Andrews says that although most professional fields do not demand a double major, one may be useful to a fine arts major if he plans to go to graduate school or into fields needing an academic background. focus on communication Sam Sockwell, Carolina Symposium chairperson, said the communications topic was chosen because it is both workable and timely. He noted that many UNC alumni are . in the public eye in the communications field. The symposium will run for four weeks. Sockwell encouraged any interested student to assist with the program. "We would love to have any kind of help," he said. In addition to speakers, the program will include demonstrations of mime and dance as forms of communication, a play and a production of "The Show and Tell Tale" by the UNC Readers' Theater. Actors Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee will incorporate poetry, prose, drama and song to show how blacks have communicated from ancient through modern times. The symposium also will include a panel discussion on interactions between fact and fiction writing. Panelists will include Tom Wicker, Reynolds Price and James Reston Jr. A series of movies such as The From, Z, and Three in the Attic, as well as cartoons and television shows will be shown very early age. The problem is unlearning these behaviors and learning more 'correct' behavior," he claims. Reckless is well-known on campus for his talks to various groups. He has been a guest lecturer for the past two years in Health Ed 33, Human Sexuality. Reckless has also served as a visiting lecturer at the Kinsey Institute. The lecture Thursday is sponsored by Human Sexuality Information and Counseling and the Carolina Union as part of a continuing series examining sexual values and attitudes. i . 1 1 1 '. i v She loves him.

Therefore, he is getting his degree through the interdisciplinary studies program. In this program, the student designs his own course and must take at least 21 hours ol credit in one subject. "The interdiscplinary program is one of the best programs' I have found on campus," Tom said. "I don't like the structure of the business school." Other students said their advisers' course was hazy concerning the double major, while some said they had no problem with their decision to double major. Ferry said her adviser thought double majoring was "a good idea. I've gotten no hassle, but 1 rarely go up there (to arts and sciences.)" Continued from page 1. According to Lewis Lipsil. head of interdisciplinary studies, a double major involves too many requirements. He says he believes only a part of these requirements are really necessary. According to t.ipsitz. a student in interdisciplinary studies can get the same education as a double major without the unncessary requirements. But to political science adviser Cleveland, the worst thing that may happen to a double major is that he may need to take an extra course to fulfill requirements. Cleveland opposes the change last year by Arts and Sciences that lowered the number of hours necessary for a double major. A lot of students who declaredouble majors drop them because they don't understand the involvement and time investment for both disciplines. General College Dean Jicha says. A student may also become disillusioned with his decision because he doesn't know enough about the second major, he says. "Having a double major does not necessarily give the student a better appearance." Jicha says. "The investment and selection ol courses does that. "I encourage each student to talk his decision over w ith his adviser before declaring blindly for the wrong purposes. This will save the student from later dropping his double major." throughout the symposium. Interested students may obtain more information by calling 933-1309 or visiting 05 Steele Building.

"A heathen is one who does not believe in The God of The Bible." Is that you? If so, we suggest you "Search The Scrip tures," asking God to reveal Himself to you personally. If you do so in sincerity and promise obedience "in due season you will reap, if you faint not." Consider the verses in the 1st Psalm Just before the ques tion, "Why do the heathen rage" is asked: "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sltteth in the seat of the scornful. BUT HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW OF THE LORD; AND IN HIS LAW DOTH HE MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT. AND HE SHALL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY THE RIVERS OF WATER, THAT BRINGETH FORTH HIS FRUIT IN HIS SEASON; HIS LEAF ALSO SHALL NOT WITHER; AND WHATSOEVER HE DOETH SHALL PROSPER. THE UNGODLY ARE NOT SO -" In these first two of thePsalms God is saying again to man what He said by Moses: "Behold, I set this day before you a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of The Lord your God, which I command you this day; and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of The Lord your God I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set belore you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live." Deut. 1 1:26-28 and 3ft 19. Consider this all of you who "delight in the Law of The Lord," and may we suggest that you meditate upon the si aspects of the arts. "The Joy of Art" is made possible through a grant from the N.C. Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. Programs in the series will run through May 1 1, beginning with "How to Enjoy" this Thursday and including "The Changing View of Man" on Feb. 16 and subsequent programs on Dance, Poetry, Painting, Music and Drama. In order to plan for space, chairs and receptions, The Art School asks that participants register for the various sessions. This can be done by writing The Art School or calling 942-2041. survey Main Street ($48.79). According to the results of the survey, staples, processed fruits and vegetables, and non-dairy drinks are cheapest at Food Town. Meats and poultry and miscellaneous foods such as tomato soup, cookies and crackers were cheapest at Big Star. Dairy products were cheapest at Kroger, and produce was cheapest at Fowler's. SCAU surveyed the prices of a six-pack of Pabst, Schlitz, Budweiser and Miller. Pabst was the cheapest beer at all stores. Byrd's did not have beer.

Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25 following "day and night" That respect and obedience to God' Tenth Commandment would bring a blessing to our land In quick order, and would do away with stealing, cheating, swindling, and graft; and respect and obedience to this Tenth Commandment would blot out race trouble, strikes, and various and sundry other assortments of strife, ill will, and devilment, for at the bottom of all these Is "COVETING." Maybe you don't know what God's Tenth Commandment Is? Quote: "THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE, THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE, NOR HIS MANSERVANT, NOR HIS MAIDSERVANT, NOR HIS OX, NOR HIS ASS, NOR ANYTHING THAT IS THY NEIGHBOR'S." We submit for your meditation that it Is The Church's business to teach men that "Coveteousness Is idolatry," and that no coveteous person hath inheritance In the Kingdom of God, or In other words according to the plain and often repeated teaching of The Bible they are lost and headed for hell and damnation! We further submit for your meditation that a genuine Christian is one who has entered into The New Covenant with God, and The Spirit of God has written Into his heart God's Commandments, Including this Tenth: "Thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbor's". Friend, maybe you need to go to an old-fashioned meeting where you will have the opportunity to go up to the altar, kneel, pray, and ask God's people to pray for you for "Repen tance towards God, and faith towards The Lord Jesus Christ!" 'Boom Boom Room' plays Fek 16-19 in the Great Hall In the Boom Boom Room was selected by New York producer Joseph Papp as the new American play to inaugurate the opening of his production period in the Vivian Beaumont Theatre in the Lincoln Center complex in New York. Written by David Rabe, the play is a harsh, unrelenting examination of a young woman's struggle to overcome the pattern of exploitation into which she had been born. Rabe is acknowledged as one of the leading young playwrights of the American theatre, and has devoted his efforts almost exclusively to the social upheavals of the sixties and early seventies, in particular the Viet Nam experience. His portrait of a returning veteran of Viet Nam, Sticks and Bones, was a controversial television film that was denied airing by several states. Streamers was a recent success in New York, directed by Academy Award winner Mike Nichols, and The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel was one of the vehicles that launched Al Pacino to prominence as an important new actor. In the Boom Boom Room is the story of Chrissy and her desperate struggles to find herself. She is the unwanted child of a loveless marriage, and her shattered childhood has not equipped her to deal with a coldly unfeeling world that she must move in. The cast will be Sue Boase as Chrissy, Julie Booe as Sally, Dwight Costabile as Eric, Ken Eaton as Al, Tricie Finger as Vikki, Peggy Gibbs as Helen, William Hardy as Harold, Robby Huffstetler as Guy, Mark Kogan as Ralphie, Sandy MacDonald as Melissa and Martii Preston as Susan. The play will be performed Feb. 16 through 19 in Great Hall, Carolina Union. The production will be presented in a cabaret style. Brown-bagging of beer and wine will be permitted. Tickets for the performances are $2.50 and are available at the Carolina Union Desk. .Continued from page 1. Detailed results of the survey will be posted in theCarolina Union. Information sheets listing the total prices in each category will be available in the Undergraduate Library, Suite B of the Carolina Union, the Union desk and the Health Sciences Library. Ralph Aubry of SCAU said he hopes the survey will become a regular service. "Once we get started, we'll be doing the survey every two weeks or thereabouts. Once something is established, it's easier to keep it going. Eventually we hope to extend the sampling."
