The state's largest aerobic dancing
session, dedications and student
faculty games will be a part of the
50th anniversary celebration of
Woollen Gymnasium, members' of
the Department of Physical Educa
tion said Wednesday.
The celebration is scheduled for
Thursday and Friday. It will begin
with a noon ceremony Thursday to
honor people who were instrumental
in the gymnasium's history. Follow
ing the opening ceremony are a
doh .IhxLDinxLw of WooBleim's SCMGu bnrtlhday
numbe of activities, including an all
campu fun run and student-faculty
baskeiall, volleyball and table tennis
games n Woollen.
Butj he most important activity of
the ddication will take place later
Thurs ay afternoon, according to
John Billing, physical education
depament chairman.
"At 5 p.tn., there will be a mass
aerobes clais on the main floor of
Woolen." Ellline said. The deoart-
ment Kill donate $5 for each student
who mrticipe? in the class, and the
monei will g toward the purchase
!
of new weights for Woollen's weight
room, he said. : .
The idea for the class came about
by noticing both the availability of
space in Woollen and the popularity
of aerobics at UNC, Billing said.
44 We just looked at the two and put
them together," he said. "We're
hoping for a large turnout."
Other events scheduled include an
all-star intramural basketball game,
alumni reunions, the dedication of the
Oliver Kelly Cornwell Room
named after the first department
chairman in Fetzer Gymnasium
and the rededication of Woollen.
Woollen Gymnasium opened on
April 10, 1938, and was named for
UNC comptroller Charles Woollen.
The gymnasium had a capacity of
10,000, which at the time was roughly
equivalent to the entire student body
and 7,000 other people.
The gym greatly expanded the
facilities of the physical education
department and served as the home
court of UNC basketball teams until
1965, when Carmichael Auditorium
opened. The 1938-65 basketball teams
compiled a 478-231 record in
Woollen. Its best teams include the
1957 NCAA champions, and the 1940
and 1945 Southern Conference
champions.
But Woollen was the home of other
activities besides classes and UNC
basketball. The facility also served as
an auditorium for an address by
President Franklin Roosevelt when
he came to Chapel Hill in December
1938.
Woollen has also been used for
graduation ceremonies, pre-flight
training for World War II naval pilots
and homecoming dances.
Woollen still is an integral part of
life at UNC, Billing said.
"Woollen is probably the one
building on campus that every stu
dent comes in contact with," Billing
said, through intramural games,
required physical education classes,
or registration and drop-add.
Wayne Going, associate director of
the intramural-recreation depart
ment, agreed.
"Woollen is really the hub of
physical activities, especially on the
weekends or at night," Going said.
Walk for IHldilmainiDty
V
Take the scenic route: stroll, bike or jog to help raise funds for local charities
By LINDA VAN DEN BERG

Usually the combination of
exercising, tanning, and
socializing equals spending
money for a health club. But Chapel
Hill and Carrboro citizens can earn
money ( for charities if they partici
pate in the Campus Y's Walk for
Humanity on Saturday.
"The need for the project evolved
about 10 years ago because there 1
was an interest to educate students
and the community about the
needy," said Claudia Viveros, co
chairwoman of the project.
The walk creates an awareness of
the ongoing needs of society, she
said. "We're inviting students to
become part of an organization
while learning about international
and local organizations that can
help the needy."
Each year the committee consid
ers a variety of charities. Organiza
tions submit information to commit
tee members who then determine the
allocation of the walk's proceeds.
This year's funds will be donated to
three organizations.
Because all the walk's expenses
were absorbed by donations, 100
percent of the proceeds will go to
charity, Viveros said.
The Resource Center for Inde
pendent Living, a new organization
in Durham that helps disabled per
sons with transportation, housing
and jobs will receive 40 percent of
the money.
The Orange County-Chatham
County Community Agency, which
helps to alleviate poverty, will also
receive 40 perctit.
The remainii$ 20 percent will be
given to the Wqien's Health Coun
seling. Service, hich educates
women on heal needs.
"In the past vVe usually chosen
two local and o international
charity, but this ear we felt that the
international chaties did not need
the help as muchis the Chapel Hill
Canioro comnuliity does," Viveros
said. ' .
Shje added thathe charities are
always very diverj, targeting differ
ent problem areas
"Our contributes are sometimes
the organization'saain source of
funding. Last yeariur help was the
bulk of operating tpenses for the
Resource Center f Independent
Living," said co-cHrman Reggie
Shuford. V

Gene Davis (Dist,l8) spoke in
support of the bill. j
Congress also paid a motion
endorsing the Take tck the Night
march and rally spojored by the
Campus Y Women's J rum.
Gretchen Knight (1st. 20), who
introduced the motn, said the
march will take place aril 7.
John Holmes, director of projects
for the Joint Orange County
Chatham County Community
Agency said that because domestic
programs have had budget cuts,
donations such as the Campus Y's
are vital to the operation of the
agency. "We have over 4,500 Chapej
Hill-Carrboro residents who need
assistance with food, rent and utility
payments. The donation from Walk
for Humanity has been a pleasant "
surprise the last three years."
Holmes added that the donation is
one of the few that the agency
receives.
Last year the walk raised about
$2,000. The chairmen said it would
be impossible to estimate the partici
pation or potential proceeds raised
this year. "It all depends on the
weather, but well have the walk on
Saturday rain or shine," Viveros
said.
Walkers of all ages and fitness
levels are encouraged to participate.
Joggers and cyclists may also join. '
Children bicycling must be accom
panied by an adult. "Last year a lit
tle boy even strapped a tray unto his
chest and ate lunch while walking,"
Viveros said.
Participant Norwood Teague said
he and his Pi Kappa Alpha frater
nity brothers enjoyed jogging the
walk goes to a great cause and is a
good reflection on what the Campus
Y is all about. It's a way of serving
the campus's conscience."
The 10-mile walk will begin at 10
a.m. in front of the Campus Y and
will circle around Laurel Hill,
Mason Farm, Valentine and Nunn
streets and conclude at the Campus
Y. Participants have no time limit
and no obligation to complete the
route, Shuford said.
Volunteers are still needed to help
man the six rest stations and regis
tration booths, Viveros said. The
committee also needs people to help
route last year. "We had a great time place markers on the route. "If peo-
and met a variety ot people. We pie are unable to walk, this is an
raised about $150 each. I think the alternative way to contribute," she
said.
There is still time to sign up. Fly
ers with information and pledge
sign-ups are available at the libraries
and Campus Y. Those interested in
participating can call the Campus Y
at 967-2333.
"All people have to do is sign up a
few pledges and show up on Satur
day," Viveros said. Money can be
collected in advance or after the
walk. Donations are also accepted.
Viveros said that, in the past,
there have been problems collecting
the money afterwards. "It's very
important, though, for the partici
pants to collect the money by April
11. Otherwise, the walk will not be
worthwhile."
