Organization variety expands college experience
J

Dill Surr Writer
The day the average freshman landed
on the Hill, his Orientation Counselor
probably told htm to "get involved."
The next night at Convocation, speak
ers told him about all the great oppor
tunities at Carolina to "get involved."
The third day when that same freshman
vaguely mentioned something about
homesickness, someone else mentioned
extra-curricular activities and yelled at
him: "GET INVOLVED!"
By now that student and many others
might be wondering in what they are to
"get involved." Fortunately, UNC of
fers a wide variety of activities for stu
dents interested in extending their col
lege education beyond the classroom. In
almost any area a student's interests lie,
there is an appropriate organization.
One well-known service group is
Alpha Phi Omega, a coed service frater
nity which sponsors activities including
campus blood drives, a textbook co-op,
campus tours and lost and found. APO
also directs Campus Chest Charities.
These charities are fund-raising events,
including an auction, raffles and the
annual Mile of Pennies.
The Campus Y offers the Big Buddy
Program, the Campus-Community Link
(involving students and senior citizens),
the Crafts Bazaar, Hunger Action, Tu
toring and the Walk for Humanity, plus
other scheduled events. The Campus Y
focuses on involvement with the com
munity, international issues and campus
issues.
Students who are musically. inclined
can become a member in the Tar Heel
Bands or in the Department of Music's
organizations. The Department of Bands
has the Marching Tar Heels, the Caro
lina Pep Band and the University Con
cert Band, Most applicants qualify for
membership without an audition. Inter
ested persons should go by the band of-,
fice in the basement of the Union or call
962-1080.
The Department of Music sponsors,
the University Symphony Orchestra, the
UNC Wind Ensemble, the UNC Opera
Theatre, the Jazz Band, the Brass Choir,
the Percussion Ensemble, the New Mu
sic Ensemble, the Collegium Musicum,
the Carolina Choir, the Chamber Singers
and the UNC Glee Clubs. All of these
musical organizations are open to quali
fied students and carry academic credit.
Sports enthusiasts can participate on
the Intramurals teams sponsored by
dorm halls or can join one of the sports
clubs. Some of the active sports clubs
last year were the bassmasters, cycling,
crew, football, ice hockey, outing, rao
quetball, rugby, sailing, scuba, soccer,
table tennis, volleyball, water polo, or
water skiing. .
Honoraries are an essential part of
campus life. The Order of the Golden
Fleece honors leadership, inspirational
character and other ideals. The Order of
the Old Well honors academic and extra
curricular achievement. The Order of
the GrailValkyries acknowledges schol
arship, service and character. Phi Eta
Sigma recognizes freshman . academic
excellence. Phi Beta Kappa honors high
academic achievement, also.
Other Honoraries are the Order of
the Silver Key, Society of Janus, Society
of Hellenas, the Order of Gimghoul,
Order of the Gorgon's Head, Order of
the Gingko, Styx, Alpha Epsilon Delta,
Rho Chi Society and Gamma Beta Ep
silon. Students must be nominated for
most of these societies.
Students are offered involvement in
the political arena. The UNC-CH Col
lege Republicans actively participate in
elections and campaigns and offer
speakers and programs. Also politically
active on campus is the UNC Young
Democrats Club.
AIESEC (International Association
of Students in Economic and Business
Management) attracts students interested
in International Affairs. World travel is
a main topic of discussion for this group,
which is located in the International
Center in the Carolina Union,'
The Hillel Foundation is a group of
Jewish students which plans social events
and discussions designed to maintain
contact between Jewish students. Hillel
is located on Cameron Avenue.
The Association for Women Students
is designed to keep women in touch with
issues concerning them. The organiza
tion attempts to sponsor speakers and
performers and develop programs and
publications. AWS is located in Suite D
of the Carolina Union
The Carolina Gay Association spon
sors social activities and informative
series. CGA is located in Suite B of the
. Student Union and offers a newsletter
and scheduled events, including speakers
and other programs.
The Black Student Movement serves as
a center for social and cultural identifi
cation on campus. The BSM takes active
involvement in areas and issues that effect
black students. All students are en
couraged to participate. The BSM office
is located in the Carolina Union.
Other popular activities on campus in
clude the Dialectic and Philanthropic
Literary Society, Toronto Exchange and
the Carolina Symposium. Almost each
academic area has a corresponding club,
also.
These organizations are only a sample
of the myriad of groups ranging from the
Liberation Literature Club to the Associ
ation to Counteract the Influence of
Disco to the UNC Dungeons and Dra
gons Club. The opportunities to "get in
volved" are unlimited.
To get more information, interested ,
students should contact the individual
organizations, the appropriate academic
department, or the Department of Stu
dent Life.
Norberg's involvement leads r to higher position
By ELAINE McCLATCHEY
DTH Staff Writer
Scott Norberg was concerned during his freshman
year about the segregation of blacks and whites on cam
pus so he joined the University Services Committee of
Student Government and later became a special assistant
for minority affairs. In his sophomore year, he was se
lected as an executive assistant to the student body presi
dent. He served in that position his junior year until his
election to a new position ... student body president.
This summer Norberg was elected to an even higher
position as president of The University of North Caro
lina Association of Student Governments. Norberg heads
a group of 16 student body presidents in the UNC system.
Norberg said students can have a great impact on what
goes on at the University. There are roughly 100 posi
tions open in the executive branch including committee
positions, residence hall and apartment representatives
and Action Line workers.
The largest number of students are needed for Student
Government Outreach. Outreach is a network of on-and
off-campus students that provides information about
what Student Gdvernment is doing and also acts as a
sounding board for students with complaints. Norberg .
said he hoped to get representatives from every residence .
hall and apartment complex. '
Norberg said this work is an excellent way for new stu
dents to find out about campus issues and get exposure to
the variety of Student Government activities.
Action Line, an information service provided by Stu
dent Government, also provides new students a chance
to learri about the problems on students' minds, he said.
A few committee positions are also available for stu
dents who are interested in concentrating on a particular
subject. Committees include Transportation, Town Rela
tions, Academic Procedures, University Services, Athlet-.
ics, National Affairs, Housing, University Relations,
State Affairs and Student Services.
Students interested in working for Student Govern
ment should go to Suite C on the second floor of the
Carolina Union.

, strictions of available funding. The pro
gram assists students in understanding the

services are necessary and in referrals to a
lawyer. -
SLS does not represent or advise in
cases where the dispute is between students
and cannot represent students if their dis
pute involves litigation against the Univer

their reading and study efficiency said
Mimi Keever, an assistant with the pro
gram. The program is voluntary, indivi
dualized and gives no academic credit.
Students may choose to work on skills
such as speed reading, comprehension,
study techniques and test-taking skills.
Students can begin at any time during

: The University Placement Services, in

seeking, interviewing and resume writing.
This service is responsible for bringing to
campus firms that are looking for new

UPS also has resources that help stu
dents find the names and addresses of
employer contacts.
The first of six workshops to be held
this fall is scheduled for Sept. 8. Also, an
orientation meeting is scheduled for Sept.
9 to explain the services of the UPS
office.
"The University Placement Service is
really something to get involved in, es
pecially seniors," UPS counselor Pat
Carpenter said. "Job recruiters will be on
campus sometime in the middle of Sept
tember." A service often confused with UPS is
the University Counseling Center.
"The basic goal of the University Coun
seling Center is to help people make the
right decision as to what field they would
like to pursue," said Lee Kessler, secretary
to the program's director. "We help
choose the right major and career."
While UPS helps students reach their
goals, University Counseling helps stu
dents decide what goals to follow, Kessler
said.
Students can seek counseling at the
center for help in personal problems,
study skills and time management from
psychologists, career counselors1 and
counselor interns. The center offers group
programs, a library, graduate school ad

concern.
The Mental Health section is on the

ing 966-2281. All therapy is kept in strict
confidence, and there is no cost for stu
dents who have paid student health fees.
