This is a publication written fop and by students, with
University support, 1n the interest of promoting the high
quality activities of student organizations. A great deal
of time and effort has been put forth to make this medium
available. We invite organizations on campus to consider
participating 1n the project through article submissions,
staff involvement, and, if they can, financial support
(though the latter is not a requirement). We hope that
the future, this publication will expand the sometimes
crowded channels available, accentuate contributions to
campus by students, and support the efforts of student'
organizational officers and members.

Campus Y:
Opportunities for Action
The executive committee of the
Campus Y has adopted "Think
Globally. Act Locally" as their
philosophy for the 1985-86 year.
The group's goal 1s to raise
awareness and provoke thought
about broad-based Issues, while
offering opportunities for
Individual action and input.
K1m Reynolds, Campus Y co
president, said, "For example,
we have centered out poverty and
hunger as Issues we feel
particularly committed to
address. We plan to have
educational programs- looking at
this situation on a global
scale, but we want to
concentrate on possibilities
that exist for alleviating
hunger 1n Orange and Chatham
counties . "
Lucy McClennan, Y secretary,
agreed that the Y wants to
become more action-oriented.
"The exec 1s Interested 1n
projecting, through action, the
Image of the Y on campus. We
want to actually have an Impact
on campus . "
Co-president Roger Orstad
stressed the many options the Y
makes available to students. In
the social concerns committees,
students have the chance to talk
about relevant issues and to
plan educational programs for
the campus at-large. Students
can also gain practical
experience by doing volunteer
work in nursing homes, prisons,
or elementary schools, to cite a
few possibilities.
"With the Y," Orstad said,
"students take a role 1n
creating a project. They can
take an Idea and develop, it any
way that interests them."
Increasing the visibility of the
Y 1s another main goal of this
year's executive committee. The
exec plans to co-sponsor
projects with other campus
groups, since campus groups
working together can have a much
bigger Impact than each of these
groups working Individually. In
addition, the Y will offer more
lectures, films, and programs
that will be open to the entire
campus and community.
Orstad concluded, "the Y has a
lot to offer, and something to
offer everyone. We want to make
1t as accessible as possible."
Anyone interested in becoming
involved 1n the Y should come by
room 102 of the Y building for
information.
Carolina Student Fund
Aids Organizations
Funding is one of the major
problems every student
organization on campus faces.
In response to this problem, the
Carolina Student Fund was
developed to help student
organizations seek experienced
fund raising advice and
alternate sources of financial
support.
The Idea for the present
Carolina Student Fund was
originated in 1982 by Charlotte
Fischer and Mark Jacobson, who,
with the help and guidance of
Stan Campbell of the Development
Office, founded the Student
Development Council. Upon
returning from a conference of
the National Student Alumni
CouncilStudent. Foundation at
Indiana University, Charlotte.
Mark, and Stan organized a core
committee for the SDC. During
the fall of 1982, this new
group, totaling nine, formed a
Steering Committee and began
work on a constitution for the
organization .
The name was changed to the
Carolina Student Fund later that
year to reflect the close
association the group had to the
Development Office, and to
associate the group's desire to
help student organizations 1n
fund raising. An endowment from
the profits of the Bowling
Green-UNC footbal game of that
year helped CSF establish a
scholarship for the Financial
Aid Office, and launched CSF on
its mission as a fund raising
consultation service for student
groups .
In these formative years, the
Carolina Student Fund has
attempted to generate student
and administrative support for
the type of programs 1t hopes to
establish. Through such
programs as the Carolina Sing,
the Campus Calendar, "Breakfast
with the Chancellor", and the
development of a complete
resource file on fund-raising
projects, the CSF has attempted
to establish Itself on campus as
a "group that helps other
groups" .
For the future, the Carolina
Student Fund 1s committed to
continuing and expanding Its
role as "fund-raiser" on campus
by initiating and Improving
programs and projects that
benefit recognized student
organizations at UNC.
