The Present Freshman Forum evolved from discussions at Fresh man Camp last year headed by Jor dan. There it was decided to give the freshmen a definite program during their initial year at the Uni versity. An original committee composed of Jordan, Jack Raper, Jack Roth, Pete Longnccker, and Nancy Mc Fadden mapped a panorama of fall semester programs which included a jazz session with Jim Carse and Ed Crow; contemporary sculpture with Bob Howard of the UNC Art Dept.; interpretative dance by jun ior Marty Preston in February. The second series of programs began with a discussion on "Beat Generation." Since then, the program has in cluded a week-end trip to New York City which was taken by 41 fresh men boys and girls. Visits were made to Carnegie Hall, Broadway, the United Nations buildings, and the Museum of Modern Art. The Freshman Forum's future programs include a "Poetry and Jazz" scries March 12 and a per formance of "End Game" by Sam uel Beckett to be managed by fresh man with Carolina playmakcrs as sitting. A creative workshop has been scheduled for May 12 and 13 at Cherry Grove Beach, S. C, the final program of the year. Mixon, in relating the hopes of the forum, said, "We are trying to have a higher level of programs to stimulate students in every field. "Next year we want to reach more freshmen because they felt they gained so much from it this year. We also want this committee of freshmen to continue to work next year and to publicize and get it off to a good start. at Freshman Camp." ( I 7 Cr" . -II V: ?
