The shops are staffed by 25 paid employees and volunteer PTA members. Children over the age of 10 volunteer as well, Harris said.

"A big school like the high school always gets a big share, but a small school isn't always left out, if they're willing to work," Harris said. Each PTA organization uses the funds to purchase school equip ment and services, such as compu ters, sports equipment and after school tutors, that would not otherwise be available, Switzer said. UNC students have contributed greatly to the success of the thrift shops through their donations and patronage, Switzer said. "We could not survive if the community weren't willing to buy, to treasure hunt," she added.

"A study done in 1985 shows that undergraduate education is most important to the faculty," Fordham said. "These awards feature teachers that support this belief." Bearman came to UNC two years ago from Harvard University. "I had never taught a class larger than eight people before I came here," Bearman said. "I have tried to work on my teaching and I am pleased with the award." Teaching and scholarship can go together, Harris said. "This award lets you know that even when you think you are not getting through to your students, everything you do is being noticed and you receive an award for it," Harris said. "It is good to feel that somehow IVe touched somebody and IVe been honored for it," Edge said. The Committee on Distinguished Teaching Awards is composed of six faculty who have previously won the award and six students.

"After we have chosen the candi dates, we go and interview the chairperson of each department with a possible candidate. We also look over course evaluations for the person." When the committee members have collected all the information about each candidate, they vote, Crane said. Student and faculty votes are equally weighted. The original ballots turned in by the students and faculty play a large role in the decision process, Crane said. "Student input counts the most, and if it is backed up by their colleagues then that's fine," Crane said. The one problem the committee had this year was the lack of student awareness about the contest. Crane said, "Students may not have been aware of it because the ballots went out rieht around th tim student officers were campaigning for Students will be charged a small fee to attend the picnic, she said. While the picnic will be the only event sponsored by the senior class, the committee would like to sponsor other events in the future, McPhatter said. "We would eventually like com mencement to be a week-long affair, but the first step now is to have the picnic the day before," she said. The Alumni Association's annual Fetzer Field Frolic will be held 5:30 p.m. May 7. Tickets are $9. The informal barbecue is geared toward UNC alumni, but is also open to students and faculty, said Doug Dibbert, executive director of the Alumni Association. Dibbert said while the event will be a reunion for alumni, it will also be a chance to honor Chancellor and Mrs. Fordham.
