UNC-A news in brief
Students protest food service
On Wednesday night, Feb
ruary 14th Students to end Lousy
Food incorporated an effective
strike against the food service.
SELF is a dormitory organi
zation which seeks to improve
the quality of the food served in
the campus cafeteria. Phase
one of the food strike sought to
eliminate ail recyclable food.
Just h’ow effective SELF is will
be determined by the attitudes
taken by students, administra
tion, and the Morrison staff.
Additional action will be taken
by SELF if food quality and prep
aration is not improved.
Psyc majors offerred choice
Psychology majors should be
made aware of the changes
initiated concerning compre-
hensives. Before this year,
psychology majors were requir
ed to take the G.R.E. or U.R.E.
as a comprehensive exami
nation. Now there is an option.
A student may choose to do in-
depth research paper or project.
Most often the paper will be com
pleted in connection with the
Senior Seminar or Directed Re
search classes. It will usually
involve quantitative analysis.
Another option being consider
ed by the department may al
low a student to do individual
ized field work and extensive
reading which will be united
by a paper. The subject matter
of the projects must be approved
by all of the department’s fac
ulty members.
Social Science, comps altered
Social Science majors are
able to design their own compre-
hensives. A student will be able
to choose a topic of his own in
terest and work up a proposal
to presnet to his professor. This
topic would then be probed and
explored from the point of view
of a variety of disciplines-soci-
ology, psychology, education,
political science, and so forth.
An individual examination would
then be designed for the stu
dent at the conclusion of his
study.

biological study between UNC-A
/and UNC-Wilmington. This
unique and concentrated course
to be offered this summer is
entitled “The Environments
of North Carolina.” The course
is a combined effort of both bio
logy departments and will in
clude two weeks of field study
and lecture in the mountains
and two weeks on the sea coast.
Classroom, laboratory, and field
work will enable the student to
examine the biology of organ
isms and ecology in these two
locations. The course is tenta
tively set to begin May 28th and
end June 22nd. A course in
general biology will be a pre
requisite. A course in chemis
try would also be helpful but
not essential. The course allows
the student to be exposed to the
biological environments of two
locations, it allows him to travel,
it gives him a taste of inventi-
tive classroom techniques, and
allows him to earn six hours of
credit at the same time. Each
institution is allowing 12 stu
dents to participate. Anyone in
terested should see Dr. Johnston
for further details.
Special courses planned now
Students wishing to partici
pate in individualized courses
next year should contact their
major advisors at their earliest
convenience.
