If you are a freshman you
probably don't know who Dr.
Harry Smith is. You should.
He is one of your firmest
links bridging the
"Administration Gap". From
his office in Bynum Hall he
heads the newly formed
Residential College
Development Program which
coordinates activity in that
area. And he is a busy man.
"I just returned from the
21st NSA Congress at Kansas
State and my ears are ringing
with the rhetoric of many
dissenting and radical students
who despair of any creative
reforms within the university
system," he said.
"They are even now hard at
work on plans to close the
universities this fall because of
the irrelevance, duplicity and
complicity they see all about
them on the campus. The
resident college system will
help Carolina here."
The former Morrison
College Chaplain was
appointed to his present
position following a conference
last October of faculty,
administration, and student
Readers designed to expose to
the community some campus
problems.
"Previously the residential
colleges had existed primarily
in a geographic sense. With a
few notable exceptions
students still faced 'alienation.'
There was more involved in

The new Paperback Gallery on the Second Floor fea
lures some 15,000 titles for study and for pleasure
reading! New titles arrive daily! Used paperbacks
for courses downstairs. The Intimate has all the
paperbacks you'll need for classes, plus hundreds
more for sheer fun. What's more, many of them are
available in used copies at sharp savings. A used
Modern Library book, for example, costs $1.00.

the residence halls than
providing more study space
and larger lounges.
"Before we could acquire
adequate funding for some of
the projects mentioned as a
cure, we found it necessary to
demonstrate their worth on the
basis of pilot projects and
clearly formulated plans."
Two of the existing seven
residential colleges, James and
Scott, were chosen for special
programs beginning this fall, to
test some of the ways to
improve the living-learning
environment.
"James was chosen because
it was typical of the failures of
the residence college concept
You still hear students say 'I've
been stuck out in James.' "
To combat this feeling,
Hinton James will conduct an
experimental orientation
program for a number of
freshmen living there.
Beginning the first week after
classes begin they will meet in
small "reference groups" with
James officers and five Faculty
Fellows who will have offices
in the college itself. The
program will continue for five
weeks and longer depending on
the interest generated. As the
program progresses there will
be an increased emphasis on
individual participation.
To test the results of the
orientation program those
students involved will fill out a
questionnaire in the Fall to
determine their views' on
themselves and the university,
agencies or associations of
officials.
The Institute, founded in
1943 by professor' Albert
Coates, has a full-time faculty
of 27. Backing them up is a
clerical and technical staff of
28.
The Institute has a library
of 11,000 volumes and 36,000
pamphlets - - 1
with a follow-up test at the end
of the year designed to show
any changes in their attitudes.
It is hoped that the test, to be
administered to all freshmen,
will reveal differences
accountable to the orientation
program idea. These results will
then be run through a
computer and analyzed in
relation to statistics gathered
from other institutions in the
country.
Another innovation in
James will be the Residential
Educational Activities
Coordinating Headquarters
Project REACH. Students will
be interviewed by other
students and asked such
questions as "What are you
doing?", "What do you want
to be doing?" or "What is your
hangup?"
"What the students in
charge of REACH eventually
hope to find are people with
common interests and let them
gravitate together," Smith said.

Coed Handbooks Out
By MARY BURCH
DTH Staff Writer
The Carolina Women's
Council and Women's
Residence Council has
published their first handbook
in 15 years- for new women
students.
"CWC and WRC decided
that the handbook was a
worthwhile project which
should be continued," said
Kem Mort, who, along with
Candy Hodges, organized the
book.
The handbook, entitled
Bricks, Books and Beauty gives
a basic idea of what Chapel Hill
and UNC offer to the coed,
said Miss Mort.
In addition there are helpful
hints to the coed on what to
bring to UNC, places to shop,
recreation facilities, cultural
and religious activities and a
section entitled "Caroline
Learns to talk,' V .which

than just organized interests,
such as bridge or chess, and
could result in student
seminars on, for example, the
draft"
Scott College, with the
housing of women students in
Parker, becomes the first
on-campus coeducational
college. Three Faculty Fellows
will conduct credit and
non-credit courses and
seminars to be held in a newly
furnished seminar room in the
basement of Parker.
Although special
experimentation will be going
on in Scott and James, there
will be English and Mod Civ
sections taught in all the
residential colleges.
"Most of the learning
process occurs outside the
campus classrooms. Our aim is
to stimulate discussion among
the students by bringing the
professors to the living unit."
One of the most innovative
steps taken . under the
Residential College Program is
"One of the most helpful
sections is the section on the
dorms," said Miss Mort This
section has a picture of the
dorms, the housemothers and
dorm presidents.
Under each of the dorm
pictures is a short synopsis of
what the dorm offers in the
way of electrical outlets,
washers and dryers,
refrigerators, sunbathing decks,
window sizes and study rooms.
In addition there is a map of
Chapel Hill and vicinity and an
appendix which clearly defines
the boundaries.
Another section entitled
"Times and Places" lists
buildings on campus and in
Chapel Hill such as the dining
halls, the infirmary, the Bull's
Head and the downtown banks
and gives the times when they
are open.
There is another section
which lists the administrative
offices, their locations and
office hours. .... . . , ............
From PEAHUTS to Philosophy, the Intimate has the

It is hoped that the
residential college development
can be recognized as one
genuine effort to make the
campus more human and a
college education more
relevant Let us hope it is not
too little and too late."

plus a listing of the 1968

The words of "Hark the

are found on the back cover of
the book.
"I thing the handbook will
be very helpful to the returning
'coed as well as the freshmen
and transfer students," said
Miss Mort.
'The booklet covers all
phases of campus life, campus
organizations, anc activities. It
is something Carolina needs
with the increasing enrollment
to let the students know what's
going on, where things are and
where they can go for help of
information."
