WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1953 FOUR PAGES TODAY M II 1 SUAB Strives For Rewarding '54 Warmer Campus Spirit Is Student Union's Goal By Jennie Lynn To create a warmer campus spirit by serving the student and stim ulating his desire to get more out of college through participating in its activities, is the goal SUAB is striving for and hoping to attain next year, according to Chairman Nancy Home. Carolina students, recognizing the value of the work of student unions on other campuses, set up SUAB (Student Union Activities m 0 y memoers Play Baseball With Butner fcW BRIEF Board) this year. It's purpose is to help students In any way it can through bringing them informa tion, noted speakers, worthwhile concerts, thorough publicity and co-ordination and cooperation of all campus organizations. Desiring to know more about other student unions, SUAB's chairman, Nancy Home, repre sented Carolina in the national Convention of College Unions at Berkeley, Calif, last month. Seventy-five universities and colleges, from Hawaii to New York attended this meeting. The representatives discussed ways to serve the students, faculty and alumni, how to operate with other organizations, and how to help in the orientation, programs. They also talked about and shared ideas concerning the educational, social, and cultural values that can be expected to be received from stu dent unions. Next Fall SUAB plans to be in full swing. It's expectations are to continue and enlarge the under takings of '53. During orientation, as it did this fall, the board will give to new Carolinians copies of important information concerning all campus organizations, to enable the various groups to make per sonal contacts with interested stu dents. The polls committee plans to take surveys of the student body's opinion of national, international, and campus affairs for any organ ization that desires them to be made. This project will be under the guidance of an adviser, experi enced in statistical work. Results of the surveys will be published The student union will sponsor a monthly theme dance, similar to the Sadie Hawkins Dance in No vpmher. Also to help the new students to get to know more peo pie it plans to hold informal pic nics, banquets or a just-have-fun day each month. The organization's dance com mittee is working on entertain ment that will use the talent on campus. They hope to have semi weekly shows, where students will sing, play the piano or dance for patrons of the Rendezvous Room. The film committee will con tinue its bringing outstanding pic tures to Gerrard Hall, and such entertainment as Polgar is on next year's agenda. All organizations, honorary and social fraternities, have been asked to send to SUAB a list of officers and outstanding members to com pile a "Who's Who On Campus to be placed in Graham during the ;et wopV nf orientation. While ill V w- counselors and advisers are intro ducing the newcomers to UNC on the tours during orientation weeK SUAB will serve drinks and cook ies in the lounge of the building One of SUAB's greatest hopes is to stimulate a better relation ship between students and faculty by their getting together lor in r-,,i titc onH discussions, over iaai laiivo coffee and sandwiches.

Armstrong requested that stu dents who find it impossible to at tend the meeting notify Charles Bernard at the Admissions Office today or tomorrow. 1 The study of college costs will include a sample of 35,000 full- time undergraduates who are now attending 100 selected colleges. "The success of this project de pends heavily on a high student response rate," explained the group making the study.

The statement was: "Parents, college administrators, boards of trustees, donors, agen cies of State and Federal govern ments, as well as students them selves, have frequently expressed concern about the pyramiding costs students incur in attending college. 'There appears to be a well- founded fear that these costs may price certain economic groups out of the college market, thus de priving the nation of the effective use of one of its most valuable resources the leadership poten- tiol of its young men and women. 'In order to get at the facts of the situation, the U. S. Office of Education is undertaking a study of the patterns of student expenses and of the sources from which funds for these purposes are ob tained. Special attention will be given to an analysis of the relation of family income to decisions re garding college attendance."
