The orchestra was founded in 1928 and each member is a graduate of the Bul garian State Conservatory. Thomas Lorango, a young classical pianist, will perform at 8 p.m. April 4 in Memorial Hall. The Philadelphia Inquirer said Lorango plays "with strong projection and a fine sense of shaded sound." JED LELAND The Carolina Union is the most pervasive organi zation on the UNC campus. In one way or another it touches the life of every Carolina student whether it be through the many concerts, free flicks and forums it sponsors or through the services it provides like the snack machines and places to bowl and play pinball and pool. Programming for the Union is coordinated through the Carolina Union Activities Board made up of 12 committees. Through the Activities Board, the Union sponsors a number of events each year calculated to appeal to a vast number of UNC students and faculty. The Union also presents a number of other programs designed to expose the UNC community to novel art forms and issues and views. Larry Ellis, the president of the Union, explained the Union's philosophy in pro gramming. "We're dealing with 20,000 students, a few thousand faculty mem bers, and the entire town community. With so many people, we've got to pre sent a wide range of programs. For exam ple, in the Film Committee a balance of cultural films is represented by foreign films we have had by such directors as Fassbinder and Fellini and by black clas sics from A Raisin In The Sun to a Sidney Pokier festival. Yet, there have also been popular films such as Fame and The Black Stallion. With over 70 films each semester we try to appeal to as many people as pos sible. This kind of balance is an overall goal of the Union." . 5 Ellis a w 4 i 4 g i w w J . .

"The advantages are numerous: Meet people from all areas of campus, have some say in what programs are of- . fered to the University, carry a program start to finish and personal developmentThese are advan tages that can make for a more exciting and rewarding college experience. And the skills and information you pick up may be used toward many careers and in everyday situations throughout life," Ellis said. The Union receives its funding directly from stu dent fees and the diversity in programming ensures that each student can get his money's worth if he makes an effort. Last year the Union presented over 60 different programs. Many were co-sponsored with other campus organizations to help ensure that the Union was meeting a wide range of University interests. : Union Public Relations Committee Chairperson Bill Ragland said, "The Union is constantly trying to find out what people want to see, do or experience here on campus. The numerous campus organizations provide a good base for us to gauge not only what students want, but also in what areas our program ming is deficient. We always are looking for input into who we are missing in our efforts to provide for the lined up several programs for the 1981-1982 academic year.
