students and the general public, ac
cording to ARA officials
Uan Kamage, cfining service director,
said, f irst and foremost is quality food
The same (juality food will be served at
Chase Cafeteria and the Pine Room and
the food IS reasonably pru ed, he said
Another goal is to allow students to use
either a board plan or budget plan when
purchasing a meal plan The board plan
has a seU-ction of 14, M or 10 meals per
week while the budget plan has a
minimum deposit of $350 to last over the
semester
Both the board and budget plans offer
refunds. The board plan will only give
refunds if a student leaves school or joins
the training table The budget plan will
refund money not used during the
semester at the end of the school year
minus a small service charge Also, addi

Freshmen say hello to college

Pre-O runs smoothly
LAWRENCE TURNER
News Editor
Pre-orientation for this year s
freshman group was well-organized
and moved smoothly according to
Pre-Orientation student coordinators
and student counselors.
Student Coordinator Pauline
McNeill said, "It ran very smoothly —
it ran so smoothly we were scared.'
She estimated that 270 freshmen came
to participate in pre-orientation, an
expected drop from last year when
more freshmen were admitted.
Assistant Vice Chancellor of Student
Affairs Harold Wallace said a safe
estimate for the size of the Black,
freshmen class is 380 for this year.
And a very rough estimate for the
male/female ratio is three-fourths
female, he said
McNeill said she has only heard
positive comments about the program.
"I planned how the final schedule
looked," she said, and added that she
received help from four students who
shared ideas with her in May for pre
orientation. They later worked with
her on that and Shavette Satterwhite
on special programs.
"Pre-Orientation was excellent,
well-organized, wept smoothly and
was a great improvement over last
year," said student counselor Allen
Russell Russell said last year's pro
gram lacked activities "You ask
anyone who’s a sophomore and
they'll tell you the same thing, he
said

County students shy away from UNC
UNC draws Black students from many
region of the state except from its host
area Traditionally, Orange County has
sent few Black high school seniors to the
University.
AccordHig to Herbert Davis, assistant
director of UNC's Undergraduate Admis
sions there are less than a dozen Orange
CcMjntv Blacks who apply to UNC every
year Of the 400 plus Black freshmen
who allended the University last year,
four were from Orange County •
The reasons for these numbers, which
fall usually into two categories, are not
surprising My parents made me come
to UNC." said sophomore business ma

Other students just did not consider the
distarKe The proximity o UNC did not
matter, I |ust wanted an education. ' ad
mitted Hillsborough native Jeff
McBrcwm. a sophomore accoutring ma-
|or
Davis cited Other factors in this admis
sion problem He realized UNC was too
close for the Orange County students If
you go outside the University and look at
the Black community (Carrboro). you
will find a lot of stucJents from the lower
social economic ladder," he said "They
will not be the recipients of good strong
parental help and their academic
background will how it."
North Carolina did not stand alone
with the recruiting difficulty NCSU drew
only eight Wake County Black high
school seniors to its enrollment last year
Making it conceivable that every state
university has the problem
Despite the recruiting measures (Pro
tect Uplift and National Achievement),
nearby residing Black students shied
away from UNC and went elsewhere for
a college education
