It has to be lived to be believed. For here in Chapel Hill, an incredible diversity of people, personalities and phi losophies mingle to produce a stimulating, communal atmosphere. If you are a fresh man, you are now discovering all that Chapel Hill has to offer. If you are an up perclassman, you are probably trying to figure out how long you can possibly stay. Chapel Hill is unique in that the sophis tication of the large, metropolitan univer sity combines with the village atmosphere to lend an air of friendliness and open ness to the town. Here, everything and everyone is tolerated. Fraternity baggers live alongside long-haired bohemians, academics coexist with partiers. In Chapel Hill, your set of friends may include a vegetarian, a football player, a professor, a sorority sister and a Dead Head. To be bored in Chapel Hill is almost a sin. You will never have trouble finding something to do. There is, of course, the 1- 'tJC S ft . ft J.!F " ;( ' ' f A 1 ft I. fcftv ST .a i ii uiiTJiiiiiniiiiiiniii iiMirt obligatory studying to' be done. But your education here will extend far beyond the walls of the classroom. After the books are closed, head uptown for a beer at Harrison's or sarigria at Papagayo's. Watch the traffic from the stone wall on Franklin Street while munching an egg roll, or cure the late night munchies with a Greek grilled cheese from Hector's. Stop and listen to a stnimming gui tar player, chat with the flower ladies or join in a protest at the post office. Catch a free flick in the Carolina Union or a concert under the stars in the Pit. cnapei rim is a town or y hardy partying. There is an infinite variety of mixers to attend hat mixers, Hawai ian mixers, tie mixers and J 60s mixers. Fraternity parties draw large crowds for sip pin' and shaggin'. In Chapel Hill, an excuse can be found to celebrate anything. And of course, on fall ; Saturdays there is football. A football weekend in Chapel Hill is more than just the game on the field. It is the brightly-colored alumni fashion parade in the stands, tailgate pic nics of chicken and champagne and the scent of Polo (the latest preppy cologne by Ralph Lauren) pervading the air. Hours later, dishevelled but happy fans troop off to the victory celebration on the lawn at Fraternity Court. Later in the year, enthusiasm surfaces again at basketball games in Carmichael. Boisterous cheers bring the student sec tion to its feet as fans roar their approval for a well-executed slam dunk. .. : ; Qn&jaXfcapel Hill could 45,000 Tar. Heels stampede down Franklin Street to celebrate the NCAA championship vic tory. And only in Chapel Hill would UNC President William Friday greet the wel coming crowd the next day with a "Thanks for coming by the house last night." Spring in the village is equal to none. Pink dogwood blossoms wreath the town. South Building lawn is strewn with stu dents sunning on top of their books, and lovers stroll hand-in-hand through the ar boretum. The town celebrates the rites of spring at the Apple Chill festival on Franklin Street. You can spend an entire Sunday admiring the handiwork of craftsmen, tapping your foot along with the Apple Chill doggers and enjoying the perfor mances of jugglers, clowns and mimes. Spring in Chapel Hill also means Chapel Thrill, the annual outdoor concert in Kenan Stadium. The bleachers are jammed with bodies as the smell of sun tan lotion and beer rises above the crowd. There is a myriad of sights, smells and sounds to life in Chapel Hill: the clanging 1 1 1 ' 1 " '- 1 .... v-.s- 1 .y" " W !": Uv" I ' k & - - ivv :.'X- .v T mrmiinii minii i ' v m of the cowbell at closing time in Wilson Library; members of St. Anthony's Hall co-ed fraternity streaking in socks and tennis shoes through the Undergraduate Library during final exams; the suspi cious aroma of "higher" education float ing around the Bell Tower at High Noon on Fridays; join the crowd on cool fall evenings to watch the football highlights from the day's victory in the window at NCNB on Franklin Street; the sticky feel of blue paint in your hair, on your clothes and your shoes after the NCAA cham pionship; the sharp odor of menthol Noxema after a 2 a.m. shav ing cream fight; and native son James Taylor singing "Carolina In My Mind" in Carmichael. In Chapel Hill, you will experience the . freest , en vironment in which you will ever live. Here students step into the path of oncoming cars while crossing the street without even a glance, dogs wearing bandannas go to class with the students, evan gelists preach fire and brimstone from the steps at Lenoir Hall and Communists urge passersby to join the revolution. There are more things to experience here than you will ever have time for and plenty of ideals and lifestyles to choose from. When you leave here after four years (or longer if you are lucky) you probably will have a clearer idea of who you are and what you believe in. Chapel Hill is not the town, and it is not the school. It may sound trite, but the bumper sticker says it best Chapel Hill is a way of life. 1 f i v y.x X V : : t v x x wt- X Xt X X A a fl. . .Xf:" . y v y x...Xj fr X X X K X; . -.:v v f- Y0 ( , as Atmosphere Chapel, Hill's unique lifestyle ranges from Franklin Street's flower ladies, no-nuke protesters, street musicians and jugglers to native son James Taylor and his songs. : ..v. .-..
