Parents; Expect Packed 3 Days
By Robert Albright
Staff Writer
Music, fine dining, football and other
festivities await interested parents ven
turing to UNC this weekend for
Carolina Family Weekend.
The annual event gives parents a
chance to leant about the University and
get to know what campus life is like for
their Tar Heel son or daughter.
Helen Johnson, interim director of
the Carolina Parents’ Office, said this
weekend’s activities will cater to a range
of parental needs and questions.
Although Johnson expects several
hundred parents to sign up for the
scheduled events, she said many more
will come to the late-aftemoon football
game against Marshall, which highlights
the weekend’s festivities on Saturday.

Johnson said early registration is
required for many of the weekend’s
events, such as the dinner and planetar
ium show on Friday night at Morehead
Planetarium. For those families paying a
$lO registration fee, parking will be pro
vided at the Smith Center.
Sheila Hrdlicka, a member of the
Parents’ Council that meets twice a year to
discuss parental concerns, said the
Spectrum of Music Concert has been pop
ular in the past among visiting parents.
“The concert usually fills up Memorial
Hall,” she said. “This weekend is so much
fun because parents can meet other par
ents and spend time with (their kids).”
While paying an admission fee or
signing up is required for some events,
Johnson said other aspects of Carolina
Family Weekend will be free and open
to any interested parents.

“You need to preregister for a lot of
the events, but that doesn’t mean you
can’t come and enjoy the weekend with
your son and daughter,” Johnson said.
She said one of the most important
items on tap that requires no registration
is Saturday morning’s Carolina Parents
Association meeting, which takes place
from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Great
Hall of the Student Union.
“Every parent is automatically a
member of the Carolina Parents
Association,” she said. “I encourage all
parents to attend because it is a great
way to be in touch with life on campus.”
In addition to learning about Greek
life, career services and other
University-related issues, Johnson said
parents who attend the Saturday morn
ing meeting will also be eligible for sev
eral door prizes, including a free semes
ter of in-state tuition and football tickets
to the UNC-Marshall game.
“I’m impressed at how extraordinary
this University is in terms of parental
involvement,” Johnson said. “I hope
parents continue to do things that
enhance the life of their students.”
