He fedfe foe'sjjmft a By STEVE AUSTIN Syndicated Columnist Dear Steven: When I took Linda out for our first date 1 went home feeling that all went just fine. It was only a movie and pizza but we had fun. The following weekend we went to the beach, where her parents were already vacationing. Again, lots of laughs and hugs. Then a couple of weekends ago we took advantage of the low airfares and went up to New York City for the day. Wonderful all around. It sounds too good to be true, and it is. I'm sitting here in total shock as' I write this letter. I called her this morning to see what plans we could make for the wee kend. Her mom told me she had left for Denver last night to visit a guy named Wayne who she has been dating for over two years. She never said a single word about this dud, and never gave me any reason to think 1 wasn't the only man in her life. I'm heartbroken. What should I do when she gets home. Tell her to stay away from him? Break up and make her come begging back? Ask her to marry me? I dont deserve such treatment. Deceived in N.C. straight up Dear Deceived: Poor little wimp. You're kidding, aren't you? Your experiences with this lady have all been super you said so yourself. But that's not enough for you. Now you want her to restrict her smiles to you and you alone. I think she has done you a big favor by keeping her other involvements to herself. Obviously, when she's with you, she is with YOU, and her thoughts arent anywhere else. What more could you want? If it's some kind of commit ment you're after then go ahead and pop the question. But if it's just a childish jealous streak running through you from head to toe, you had better spend some serious time in a conversation with yourself. Once your friend gets a whiff of your smelly attitude, it's probably good bye city. Didn't your daddy tell you about these things? Copyright 1985 by Steven J. Austin.

The committee formerly was called the Dinner Discussion Committee. It planned Friday night potluck dinners for students and scheduled a guest lecturer, often a professor, to speak at the dinner. "Access is an acronym for 'Articu lating Concerns and Common Expe riences between Students and Staff,' " said Kathy Noesen, committee co-chair. When the committee changed its name, it also changed its focus. The committee will bring in profes sors to participate in discussions with students, instead of simply lecturing on a topic, Noesen said. The meetings will allow for a more open forum of ideas, with professors providing the introduc tory comments, she said. The committee also will try to involve diverse groups of people in the meetings, she said. "We want to open it up to the entire campus. We encourage faculty to attend as participants as well," she said. The committee will sponsor a bag lunch with Thad Beyle, a UNC political science professor, Wednesday at noon, in the Campus Y lounge. The dinner discussions often are held at a professor's home and are limited to fewer than 25 people. A ride to the meeting usually can be arranged, Noesen said. Projects of the committee will include dinner with Play Makers' Artistic Direc tor David Hammond in November, a special Halloween dinner discussion, and possibly afternoon tea sessions and student speakers, she said. To sign up for the bag lunches or potluck dinners, students should go by the Campus Y office. Sign-up sheets will be posted each week. Students with a specific interest they want to speak about should contact one of the Access Committee chairpersons at the Campus Y, Noesen said. Chairpersons for the committee are Noesen, Marcella Butler and Elizabeth Frankenburg. For more information, students should call the Campus Y office at 962-2333 or check the Daily Tar Heel for advertisements. By MIKE ALTIERI Staff Writer As children, most of us were intrigued at one time or another with war. Remember those John Wayne movies and the hours you spent in the backyard fighting the most intense make-believe battle? For many of us, our imaginations were the only link to war and its history. But for one Chapel Hill resident, that link lies not in the imagination but in the collection and preservation of war relics. Ed Hicks has collected war relics for 20 years. In that time he's amassed medals, patches, uniforms, Japanese swords and countless other collectibles. "I've always been interested in military history and began collecting when I was young," Hicks said. "I collected while I was in the military, but for the last 10 years IVe been really serious about it." Hicks said he collected just about anything of military and historical value. But he said his specialty was collecting Japanese military swords and armor. "The Japanese armor led the way for me," Hicks said, referring to his seriousness about collecting. "The swords are the rarest to find and are considered artwork now." Most Japanese swords were hand made and not mass produced, Hicks said. Also included in his collections are 20th-century relics, such as items from the special forces in Vietnam and Hitler's SS in Germany. Hicks displays his collections at military and gun shows and at muse ums. He also travels nationwide to meetings and shows that emphasize the collection of war relics. "There is a large field of collectors nationwide, and there are more people getting into it," Hicks said. Many clubs for collectors exist across the nation, but there are none locally, Hicks said. He is a member of the Japanese Sword Society and the Chicago Sword Club, to name a few. He also subscribes to journals and publications dealing with collecting. "There is a lot of runaround in collecting, and you have to go through a lot of people to find what you're looking for," Hicks said. "I go through veterans' organizations and personal contacts, as well as some personal advertising." Hicks said he was most proud of a 600-year-old Japanese sword he found. He also boasted of a rare, 150-year-old Japanese dagger that is signed and dated by its manufacturer. "I really specialize in items that are related to the Samurai period," Hicks said. Besides collecting swords and armor, Hicks has written articles for publications and newsletters. He now is writing a series of articles on Japanese swords for the Carolina Antique News. Hicks also is doing research for two books on the Vietnam war. One emphas izes the North Vietnamese Army, and the other looks at the role of U.S. advisers in Vietnam. "As far as the books are concerned," Hicks said, "I want to find, document, and preserve the Vietnam history." Hicks said he offered consultation to individuals on almost any item that may be of historical value. In addition, he will conduct research on any type of Japanese sword. "I want to make sure these items are not lost, abused or neglected if they have historical value," Hicks said. "I think everyone should look carefully at a military item before tossing it out." Hicks added he hoped to promote the knowledge and historical value that accompany war relics. Advertising in Chapel Hill, Fayette ville and nationwide, Hicks has located people who are interested in collecting or have items to sell. Hicks said he knew of no organized groups in North Carolina that dealt with collecting, but knew of many nationwide. Anyone interested in collecting or needing information on an item or area can reach Hicks at 967-6709. j mm Ml i f f 4 Exchange sponsors fundraiser -7" The Toronto Exchange, a cultural exchange program of UNC and the University of Toronto, will sponsor a night at He's Not Here to raise funds for this year.
