BAREFOOT Pctal to Th Dally Tar Heel Ple tsilvGr roared past the last red maple-leafed flag carrying so exhausted UNC student back home after four splendad days in Tornoto, Canada. ttSG CCOnd haU of the 10C7-G3 "Scir0nto ExChange had The program was started yjap go by UNC Presi dent William C. Friday and President Claude Bissci of the University of Toronto. They believed that friendship between students of both universities would create a better understanding of the culture and life of the two countries. They were right, and this has nelped make the annual "ex change" a tradition. Thirty Toronto students travel every November to Carolina. They later host the UNC students in snow-covered Canada during the January semester break. The Carolia exchangees were selected in early October 'through a series of applications and interviews which were open to all students. Those chosen represented a cross section of Carolina 1 Ho student po litics, fraternities, sororities, residen ce colleges. After selection, the group entered an intensive planning program, preparing activities for the Canadians' visit to North Carolina. "Excitement" is not a powerful enough word to describe the arrival of the Toronto students on the night of Nov e'm ber 16. We greeted the bus waving the Canadian flag and singing the Toronot Alama Malter. We then took our Canadian friends to a local student center for pizzas. A week crowded! with activities had begun . The Carolina-Duke football game was one of the many highlights. Chancellor and Mrs. J. Carlyle Sitterson honored the exchangees with a recep tion in their home. The Canadians were taken on their first old-fashioned hayride and square dance par ty. We held a student talent show, had dinners in local restaurants and homes of pro fessors, and! took the Cana dians to classes. ' ' The learning aspect of the Exchange is a vital function of the program. The Canadians and Tar Heels joined in three seminars dealing with major current American porblems, such as the draft, conscientious, objectors, student alienation, and Black Power.

Many Canadians seemed to benefit most from the discussion led by Mr. Howard Fuller on Black Power. "Before the Exchange," commented one University of Toronto student, "I felt very alienated from the movement and had little understanding of its goals. Now it is an issue closer to home. It was good to hear the personal yet in tellectual and well-organized talk Mr. Fuller presented." Another exchangee' remark ed he had "gained a better perspective" on issues of im portance outside his own coun try. "Somehow" the war in Viet nam seemed more real, the at titude toward the Negro more prominent," he said. "It was a chance to step down from our tower of theories regarding your problems as a nation and to become immersed in an at mosphere where we could put our own theories to the test." These reactions help, il lustrate the intended purpose of the Toronto Exchange. The Carolina students gained in sight into the lives and pro blems of our closest neighbor and were able to see our own . country from a different perspective. Thos was shown clearly when we traveled to Tororto for the Exchange. We left Chapel Hill on the night of January 24 after finishing final exams, and were full of anticipation and! ex citement about the coming weekend. It was a long ride, and here were cheers when we finally arrived at the Universi ty of Toronto. We were reunited with the people who in four days had become cherish ed friends. Our time in Toronto was quite a contrast to the earlier days in Chapel Hill. The booming city of 1-2 million was covered with a thick blanket of snow. No longer were we in a place where the University con stituted most of the town. There were the big businesses and tall buildings of Toronto the excitement of city social- life, and the environment of the large metropolitan University all to be crowded into the four days of our visit. - -' We stayed in the residence halls, individual homes, apartments, and fraternity and sorority houses of our Cana dian friends.

The many activities during the long weekend included a professional hockey game, an evening of theatre, sleigh rides, ice-skating, tobog ganing, parties, and dinners in some of Toronto's top night spots. We visited the new City Hall, the Toronto Sock Exchange, and traveled to a dude ranch 30 miles north of the city for a night of "snow-play" (in four feet of the white stuff) We were treated to a lun cheon by the Metro govern ment of Toronto, introduced to local city and University of ficials, wined and dined in high fashion, and acquainted with the campus life of a "city university." The seminars in Canada dealt with the "why's and how's" of Canadian anti Americanism. Both groups found this pro blem difficult to define clearly. We gained more understanding from small group discussions than through the large seminars. Joan Harney, a UNC Ex change member from Wassenaar, Holland, said, "Having hved in Europe for many years, I understand the Canadian version of anti Americanism in terms of the whole world's feelings against our country. Hie Canadians, like so many other nations, resent us to some degree for our arrogance, immense power, and great world in fluence. I am convinced there is no outright hatred of Americans on the part of Canadians only perhaps and sad realization that in order to progress, they must follow us in so many ways. This, I think, is the frustrating and irritating cause for "anti Americanism". "I wish we could describe Canadian anti - Americanism another way," commented senior Barbara- Brownridge, UNC coed from Charlotte. VJj!

I'M SORRY COLLECTOR "It's not anti-Americism as we understand it from the rest of the world. It is more of a 'Canada for Canadian. . .a desire for a 'Canadian Canada instead of an Americanized Canada. It is like a person wanting the friendship of another, but on an equal bas with no domination by either." Jonathan Gibson, a senior from Chattanooga, Tenn., who served with Jane Robertson, of Wilmington, Del. as co-chairman of this year's Exchange, interpreted his feelings this way: Only last week in a speech to 300 U. of Toronto students, Walter Gordon, President of the Federal Privy Council, said that Canada was virtually an economic colony of the United States. With 20 billion dollars of American investment in Canada, it is easy to un derstand Canada's economic dependency on the U.S. "We must also consider" Gibson continued, "that Canada is the lesser partner in several common defense agreements with our coun try (she's under our wing but wonders if the association is a greater risk than the pro- E xchangees Eat In Chaos "Sure I can cook oatmeal! I mean, after all, that's what I've been doing all my life." "Good then get to it." "Hey Brownridge, what does oatmeal look like? I gotta find some to cook." "Whadda you mean what does oatmeal look like? Find it yourself, Crazy I gotta cook a hundred eggs and I can't even find the stove." We were in the process of trying to have , breakfast. But .-this breakfast wasn't exactly 'what we had been thinking of when we pulled . into PhdMpsburg, Pa. at 8 Thursday moniing after a 12 hour bus rdie from Chapel Hill. It had been a long night. With the celebration of the end of exams and the mounting ex citement of nearing Toronto, the 39 people on the bus had forgotten it had been "night" the usual time for sleeping and everyone was yelling . for a good hot breakfast, and a, chance to sit comfortably in a "regular nice old American chair" which is not a bus seat. "Okay, Toronto Team,' you waist here and I'll go in and see , if they can take care of us" worlds of Jonathan GSb'son, our fearless leader. So we waited groaning of seat sores and tring to locate shoes, coats and money for the upcoming feast. Jonathan returned, holding up his hand for peace, saying that there were only two peo ple in the restaurant (and they worked there). "We can eat here if we help out a little," he explained. (Louder groans from the au dience.) "We gotta form some more teams, like a .set-tables team, take-orders team, cook team, and wash-dishes team. Who wants what?" for something NEW? Here it is on newsstands now the magazine with an eye on the college scene 0H, WELL ...A WD CONNIE, ANDCrllW, Anu MARlL'fN, ANP AILEEN.ANR. I CAN'T stamp IT...I JUSTCAMT TAMO IT. in eoLoo is worth. I don't think Xfi i5 an? real hostility ejected towards Americans as T .Ui,aiS 25 our warm ception in Toronto shows, but maybe a sort of anger renting frcm the frustration oi living next door to the most powerful nation in th world" said Gibson. '1 thinks may Canadians fear beifg absorbed by the more materialistic, achievement oriented, mass - culture val ues of American society" he feaid. 'They don't want to be too much like us, for such an imitation would aefeat a Canadian nationality. The Canadians have a history and a culture distinctly dif ferent from ours and distinctly their own," For those participating in the Exchange, it is a full and warm memory of a program in international learning and honored friendship. For students who gripe of the "exclusiveness of the selec tion" and the "wasting of Stu 1 dent Government funds," it is an invitation to experience the feelings themselves. After a year on the Toronto Exchange, they will find . their old arguments quite meaningless. The rest of the time in Phillipsburg belongs to history. Owners John and Hazel Mitchell gave us comolete run of the place. The Mitchells' orange juice supply was consumed im mediately. So was the bread, and eventually the eggs and coffee. "Hey Parker, you cook good oatmeal." "Yeah, he does, doesnt be. May I use your knife when you're through cutting yours?" The whole meal was a mass hysteria. People hollered for more eggs, washed they could have something to go with their bacon and waited in lines for coffee. If they didn't recognize what as on their plates, they just grinned and gu'ped it 'down there was no time for ques tions. "It's funny your group should come dn January, ' because that's usually, our slowest month, but this is our fastest day ever and you'd better believe it!" Hazel said. "Don't know exactly what They won't tell you about all the job opportunities we have for college graduates engineers, science, business and liberal arts majors. Not that they wouldn't like to. Jt's just that there are too many jobs and too little time. In a half -hour interview our man would barely have time to outline the scope and diversity of the opportunities we ofler.

"I had a meat loaf in the oven for our Go cents luncheon special,' "'J but it's thrown on the table over there now. Guess I'll have to change the menu or maybe dose up. Breakfast was -finally over. . .our hunger partially eased. We . helped clean the place up a bit, a n(d, talked to John and Hazel for a- few ininutes - before climbing aboard the bus to head to Toronto, still 10 hours away. The breakfast was a great experience. The Mitchells had shown us a unique and wonderful trust and' hospitali ty. - "We were glad to have you all," they said. "It's been a lot of fun for us, too, and it won't take us very long to recover. We'll be (thinking of you while you're on your trip." We rode again. A chorus of "love Power'', rose; from the . crowtdl Jonathan read another poem and we all saluted John, Hazel and their Highway Spahetti House. ; . -. ..... , . b t I ' " 1 1 - ., - : n f I change members cook SOUTHERN PREMIERE FRIDAY What I like inot about 7W .!
