From page 1 Tar Heel Days: a prelude to Carolina's fall orientation Turner began building his cable empire in he bought a failing Atlanta TV station and beamed it by satellite to cable subscribers across the country. The station, now WTBS. shows old movies, sports (especially Braves games) and reruns of series, including "Comer Pyle, USMC." "It may not be uplifting, but it's sure a lot better than 'Dukes of Hazzard,' " Turner said. "Comer's a nice guy from North Carolina." Turner said "Dukes of Hazzard" glorifies wreckless driving and makes the police look like a bunch of bumbling, corrupt idiots, and is one reason he believes NBC, CBS, and ABC have failed viewers. "I think we're go ing to see the three networks go down about the same way the (American) automobile in dustry did." Turner safd he was opposed to the sex and violence in television and movies, the kind which he said inspired John Hinckley to shoot the president. Also, he said network news treats viewers as if they were stupid, which he claims is changing somewhat due to the influence of his cable news stations. Sports reporters, wanted to hear the yacht captain who skippered Courageous to two America's Cup defenses, and the sports fran chise owner who props his feet on top of the dugout and chews tobacco at Braves games. Sportscaster Don Shea of WTVD in Durham asked Turner to address the issue of alleged cocaine use among professional basketball players. "NBA players should know better. I'm more concerned about drugs among high school kids," Turner replied But he did talk some about sports. "We're going to be a dynasty," Turner said of his Braves team. "You can write that down: D-Y-N-A-S-T-Y." The decision to release Caylord Perry after his contract ran out Turner said, was made because the Braves had too many young pitches who needed playing time. "We liked Gaylord, I went fishing with him right before the strike last year. . . But when you've got young pitchers ready to pitch in the major leagues you gotta let 'em pitch. You can't hold them back." By LISA PULLEN Staff Writer While most students are preparing for their exams during the next week, members of the UNC Orientation Commission are put ting the finishing touches on next fall's Orientation program for new students. The program officially swings into action Saturday with the beginning of Tar Heel Days. Tar Heel Days is a series of four sum mer Saturdays on which day-long orienta tion programs are held to give incoming stu dents and their parents a preview of life at Carolina. s This year's Tar Heel Days will be held on June 26, July 10, July 17 and July 24-25. About 1,200 persons are expected at each Tar Heel Day, said Media Productions Coor dinator Donald Beeson. The day's activities will include programs on financial aid and the General College for students, as well as a workshop for parents. A slide show on cam pus organizations will be shown and stu dents and parents will visit students' future residence areas, Beeson said. "Orientation focuses on students. Tar Heel Days tries to hit parents as well," Lister said. The week-long fall orientation program will get underway with the arrival of fresh men and junior transfers on Sunday, August 15. Main attractions for this year's program include a new slide show to be shown in Car michael, Beeson said. "We're updating music and content and putting in some of the things they are going to experience in four years," Beeson said. v The Commission is also planning a "Cul ture Night" to expose new students to enter tainment and cultural groups on campus, said Cathy Saunders, Freshman Program Co ordinator. She said the Commission hoped to attract groups like the Black Student Move ment, Clef Hangers, Lpreleis and the Opeyo Dancers. "When I was a freshman, I didn't know what all these different groups were," Saunders said. "We want to expose them early." Saunders also said Orientation was going to concentrate more on academics. "Tradi tionally, Orientation has been a week-long party. We're really trying to emphasize aca demics." Results of a recent survey of parents of in coming freshmen showed them to be con cerned with academics even more than with financial aid, Lister said. As a result of this and the curriculum change, areas are hold ing mock dropadd programs and registra tion contests to award prizes to those who fill out their registration forms the most ac curately, Saunders said. To deal with the curriculum change, the 550 Orientation counselors wilt arrive one day earlier than usual to be trained in the new academic requirements, Lister said. Reading tests which in the past have been administered in freshmen English classes will be given during the Orientation period, Lister said. This will allow students to see the results before registering for heavy reading loads unprepared, as well as alert students to the strenuous academics which lie ahead, Lister said. The academic focus is carrying over into the Jr. Transfer Orientation program as well, . said Neel Lattimore, chairperson for Transfer Orientation. Transfer Orientation will be "95 geared towards meeting academic - needs," Lattimore said, "That is their main concern." This year transfers will be assigned area coordinators within their major departments while orientation counselors will be assigned on the basis of their living areas, he said. Pro grams for the transfers will include advisor clinics, dropadd seminars and programs dealing with how to fulfill graduation re quirements. . In addition to programs sponsored by the Orientation Commission, each residence area is planning events for its new students. Tentative plans include a dance sponsored by Granville and South Campus "Grand Jam" and a street party planned by Olde Campus and STOW, Saunders said. And with in the individual areas new students can ex pect dinners, forums and parties. n a (UalSSflml(B(m 'SKBIS Classified ads may be placed at the DTH Offices or mailed to the DTH Carolina Union 065A, Chapel Hill, NC 27514.
