Freshmen should be involved in a
religious fellowship in college for the
learning and growing experience,
according to Charles Wiley, former
Inter-Varsity staff member at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill.
According to Jimmy Long,
regional director of Inter-Varsity for
North Carolina and Virginia and
staff team leader at UNC, IV is a
student-led organization on a college
campus whose purpose is to bring
Christians together for fellowship
and tohelp others know about Jesus
Christ.
Student participation in the Inter
Varsity has grown greatly since its
1971 beginning. Although there were
only two members in 1971 at UNC
CH, there are over 500 involved now,
Long said. "In fact, of the 800
fellowships in the nation, UNC has
the largest fellowship."
The two main parts of IV are a
small group of six to 12 students led
by students that meets weekly to
study scripture and build trusting
friendships and a large chapter group
meeting every two weeks for worship,
learning, fellowship, singing and
skits.
There are six chapters at UNC-
CH, divided geographically. Five are
undergraduate chapters representing
mid, south, north, Granville and off
campus and one graduate chapter.
Brian Carroll, large group coordi
nator of mid campus, said that a
personal relationship with our crea
tor was important to set the pace for
our life. Its a priority and getting
involved with a fellowship on campus
is a means to that end, he said.
"A large group is important to
fellowship since it's the only time the
chapter comes together, he said.
"The speakers go on a wide range
(sic), from a pastor to a dentist,
whoever in the past has a certain
expertise in their area, can deal with
it clearly and come across to college
students smoothly.
Long said that IV differed from
other fellowships on campus because
it was interdenominational. "We also
have a strong emphasis on building
fellowship with small group as a core
in involvement, he said.
iV is not a church," he added.
"But it provides opportunity for non
Christians, who would not step inside
a church; provides fellowship away
from local church; provides fellow
ship with people the same age; and
provides leadership training."
Carrol said that which fellowship
to choose is not the most important
issue. "The various fellowships are
hopefully working together, there
fore, getting involved is the most
important thing, he said.
There will be an orientation picnic
Thursday, Aug 22 at 5 p.m. New
students are invited to meet in front
of Davis library.
"This will be an introduction and
first opportunity to get involved with
small groups," Carroll said. "There
will be food and singing. It will be
real loose."
The all campus meeting will be
Monday, Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. in the
Great Hall tn the Student Union.
Carroll said that this will be one
of the two times during the semester
that all 600 members get together for
fellowhip and another chance for
people to get involved.
"It has traditionally kicked off the
year for IV," he said. "There are a
lot of people and effort involved in
it."
Anyone who wanted information
on other fellowships can contact Bob
Phillips, chairman of the UNC
Chaplain Association and Baptist
campus pastor, at 942-4266.
Long can be contacted at 929-8593
or 967-6395.

When it comes to picking classes
and careers, most of us are like
children choosing what vegetables
they want for dinner. We take only
what we like, and we hate many
things we have not tried. If you have
read your student manual, you know
that UNOChapel Hill acts like your
dad you cannot eat dessert (that
is, graduate) unless you have had a
little of everything that is on the table.
To avoid trouble during your four
year dinner, here are some hints on
how to become the ideal UNC-CH
Well-Rounded Person.
1) Know the requirement system
well Before you meet with your
advisor, understand what you
have to take and when you have
to take it
2) Get your requirements out of the
way quickly. Three years down
the road, you will feel f rustruated
if you cannot spend much time
on your major because you still
have to fill General College
requirements.
3) If you cannot swim, take Begin
ning Swimming as soon as
possible. You have to pass the
swim test sometime, so why not
learn to swim this fall? Waiting
years will only increase
your tears, ana you wui uc
missing a whole lot of beach and
pool fun.
4) Take courses in things you have
never had before. You may actually
find yourself liking something once
foreign to you.
5) Take you required courses
seriously. As you team more
about other subjects, you will be
teaming more about yourself.
You will learn where your inter
ests and strengths are, and
eventually you will be more
prepared to make a responsible
choice when selecting a major.
6) Do not go overboard. If there
is something you know you
absolutely cannot do, you should
not feel like you have to try it.
Within each requirement field,
there are enough options for you
to choose something with which
you can feel comfortable.
There you have it your own
personal guide on being well
rounded. Just follow these tips, and
you will be enjoying your well
deserved dessert before you can spell
or eat zucchini.
