It's a melting pot with students
coming from Cyprus, Holland, New
England, neighboring Durham and
Chapel. Hill. The UNC campus is
multilingual and multicultural, but
what is this Chapel Hill-UNC appeal
which draws both foreigners and native
North Carolinians?
One would think that Ellen Walker,
having been born and raised in Chapel
Hill, would be inclined to leave The Hill.
This, however, is not the case. The
freshman psychology major, who
believes, "It's not so much what you
wear; it's what you think that counts,"
has strong family ties in Chapel Hill.
Many of the Walker clan are alumni
of UNC. Walker's interests include
tennis, mountain biking, and at times
she enjoys reading the articles in
Play girl.
Another North Carolinian is Janice
Tatum. Arriving from neighboring
Greensboro, the pre-med major, chose
UNC because of the University's aca
demic reputation. Tatum views UNC
as an institution which gives a great
freedom of choice. Tatum enjoys
playing the cello, running track and
aquiring new friends.
Like many freshmen, and even some
sophomores, Geoff Theobale has not
decided his major, but is juggling
possibilities in math, economics and
psychology. A Morehead scholar, from
New Haven, Conn., he attended the
Outward Bound program in Hurricane
Island in the Adirondacks located in
upper New York. The scholarship was
his incentive for choosing UNC, but he
adds it was not so much the money as
it was the experience the scholarship
provides.
"From where I'm from it seems really
big," Theobale said. "It can be over
whelming for a guy coming from a nice,
private school with 600 kids."
Theobale plans to try out for the golf
team; he hopes this will help him
become a part of the UNC community.
Chryssandra Watts, a basketball
recruit from Connecticut plans to major
in physical therapy. She hopes to keep
her grades respectable while excelling
in basketball. With her talent she had
a choice for college, but she decided on
UNC.
"It is a beautiful campus," Watts said,
adding that it was one of the friendliest.
She plans to play small forward or
guard. "If I work hard enough in
practice, I think I should get pretty good
playing time," Watts said.
Michael Daniels comes to UNC
because of the business school and he
plans a major in either mathematics or
business. Daniels enjoys water polo and
is concerned with taking physics, and
figuring out his schedule. "I'd just like
to make it through this semester all
right," Daniels said. "I don't want to
push myself too hard. Ill try budgeting
my time."
Robin Martin didn't travel too far
from her Durham home to go to college.
"I know that the University has an'
excellent balance of a good academic
reputation as well as' the night life and .
social aspects," Martin said. Martin is
unlike the majority of people who live
in South Campus who find the long
walk to classes monotonous. "I love my
dorm (Ehringhaus)," Martin said. "I
enjoy the walk; I thought I was going
to dread it."
Carolyn Lyons from Durham said
she hates all the walking. Lyons is
majoring in computer science and hopes
lo gci involved in sluUeni government.
Lyons never received her preregistration
booklet, so she has been busy trying
to find an adviser to find out what to
do. "I would feel a lot better if I had
someone to talk to that's already taken
the classes," Lyons said. "My number
one goal is to keep my grades up and
try hard to keep up in classes so it wont
be so hard on me exams." Lyons said
her second goal was to have fun.
Renee Barrett said she enjoys people,
and meeting many is her goal as well
as studying hard. "I want to really keep
my grades up because IVe got a lot of
pressure on me at home," Barrett said.
"I want to please everybody and I want
to encourage everybody to come here
if I do well." Barrett is interested in
nursing and hopes to become involved
in student govenment and the gospel
chorus.
Most freshmen did not have even a
long drive to UNC from home, but.
freshman Eleftherios Christoforon had
to cross the Mediterranean Sea and the
Atlantic Ocean in order to get here from
his native Cyprus. Like other freshmen
he was ready to leave home. "It was
time I would live my own life," Chris
toforon said.
All the trees and grass in Chapel Hill
are a nice change said Christoforon. The
streets, however, especially Franklin
Street, are faster than in Cyprus. "The
streets are more complicated and the
people drive on the other side of the
road here," he said. He comes prepared
to study in the United States having
studied English for five and a half years.
Christoforon plans to major in
computer science, and he hopes to get
used to the different slang and accents
and roads in a couple of weeks. For
now he said his biggest problem is one
that other freshmen have: discovering
where all the buildings are.
