Friday says the exact amount won't be known until sometime after the UNC Board of Governors meets next Friday. 7 X'. The Legislative proposal passed recently by the General As sembly was the culmination of three months of planning and compromise, Friday said. The lawmakers, as well as the BOG, have known for some time that a lack of funds would drive up tuition. We have to realize $10 million," Friday said. "Tuition is the only way we can raise that. "We raised in-state tuition 20 percent last time," he said. "We have tried desperately to contain in-state tuition to 7-12 percent increases." The tuition increases in the UNC System are based on a bi ennial rate and are difficult to express in terms of percentages. The BOG and state lawmakers were very hesitant in their plans to increase tuition, Friday said. "Before we did anyting, we looked at the tuition levels of major universities in the Midwest and the South," he said. The out-of-state charges of the UNC system were lower than the middle zone of most fees, Friday said. . See TUITION on page 7 To the readers This special issue of The Tar Heel the largest issue in the summer and technically the Orientation issue, is being sent to all in-coming freshmen and junior transfers about 5,000 all told. For most, it will be the first glimpse of UNCs prize-winning 90-year-old publication, The Daily Tar Heel. - Although the weekly summer Heel differs from the dai ly version in physical appearance (this paper is a tabloid, whereas the DTH is full-sized), the style of writing and content is modeled after the parent DTH: The papers are geared to covering campus-related activities, but city, state and national coverage is also strong. For the DTH that is essential, considering that the paper is the only morning daily in Chapel Hill and for many students the sole source of daily news. You'll learn more of the rich tradition here later; for now, enjoy this issue and, perhaps more importantly, en joy the rest of summer. Jeff Hiday Editor Orientation By EDITH WOOTEN Tar Heel Staff Writer . 1 i More than 6,500 new students will be enrolling at UNC next fall. Many will come with preconceived notions about what the University is ail about. Others might have new ideas about education. But invariably, there will be confusion and a flood of questions that comes every year with a . new freshman class. UNC has some of the answers for them in Tar Heel Days and Orientation '83. Last weekend, Tar Heel Days concluded this summer's series of short, informal orientation programs. Nearly 300 new students were given a variety of situations that were like ly to crop up during a year at UNC, and 20-30 counselors to help them resolve their crises J "It's so big," said Sheila Perry from Hertford. "I got here at 7:30 last night and was immediately lost." Perry was one of many incoming freshmen that crowded Woollen Gym's floor Saturday in an abb deviated simulation of the academic year. The students were given a variety of options ' social, academic and extra-curricular activities to choose from. 3k r i'' 4 1 . ' ft ii; v- .'Cxv .-s W : 1 $ :.: r a. -.-. ;-x-.;- lyr '' : Cheers!

They had a mock registration, pretend pep rallies and even pseudo vacations. After the year was over, they met in discussion groups, and evaluated their own decisions and those of their peers. Thomas Layton, Tar Heel Days' coordinator, said that the program's goal was to answer any questions parents or their children may have about the university. ''There are a lot of external factors that influence a stu dent in college," Layton said. "We are here to let them (the incoming students) know that they're not alone in their anxi eties and questions." The 13 member Orientation Commission began planning last November for the arrival of the students in August, said chairperson Debra Wulfhurst.. In February the 20 area coordinators -were recruited for Orientation '83 .'These people will determine what shape events will take during the week before classes. For instance, Wulfhurst said, the commission has required that a general tour of the campus be given. "Whether they have a moonlight tour or a scavenger hunt doesn't matter," she said. "Just so they get what they need accomplished." X Peggy Cleary, freshman program coordinator for the com mission, listed some other topics they wanted to discuss. "There should be programs on the judicial process here, alcohol awareness, race relations, academics and social alter natives," she said. Cleary said that this year there would be a limit of one par ty with alcohol served during Orientation week for each resi dent area. "There will also be a ration of one keg for every 100 peo ple expected," she said. " We're emphasizing the importance of the freshman learning to drink responsibly." ; Geary said that this year's Orientation week would mira mize the use of alcohol and maximize education and orienta tion to UNC. r Wulfhurst said that orientation had a three-fold purpose to help the student adjust to academic procedures and life at Carolina. to help them adjust to the physical geography of fbs campus and the community. to help them adjust to campus and dorm life socially. ' The most important thing about the week's events, which include convocations, two movies, and a field day, is to keep the new students busy and to enlighten them about college at the same time, Wulfhurst said.
