Tlrere arc more than 18.000
students on the UNC campus, and
nearly 3,000 or them are freshmen.
One-sixth of the student
population was new to UNC two
-months ago, but now they are
beginning to learn how the
University operates, how to get
along with their roommates and
how to survive at Chapel Hill, both
academically and socially.
Ten freshmen interviewed this
past week all said they generally
like life at Carolina, but they were
beginning to have some complaints
also.
Freshman closing hours and the
long trek to and from South
Campus were the two major grips.
Study also rated high on the list
of dislikes.
"What do you like about
Carolina?" generally brought a

response about friendly people.
The freshmen and their
comments follow:
"I love Carolina because
everybody is so friendly," said
Stephenie Ann Pappas, 310 East
Cobb, from Nashville, Tenn. "It is
rci easy to meet people-a lot
easier tiian I thought it would be.
Although he agreed with Miss
Pappas that Carolina is a friendly
place, Tom Holt, 536 Hinton
James, of Bethesday, Md., said he
has experienced some difficulty in
meeting a certain kind of people.
"I think these people are the
friendliest people I've ever met,"
Holt said, "but it tougher for
freshmen men to get dates than I
thought it would be."
When asked for a solution to the
problem, he said, "They pught to
get more girls here."
John Chaffee, 531 James, who
stayed in his hometown of Chapel
Hill to go to school, said, "I like it
here. I just didn't want to leave
Chapel Hill to go to school some
place else.
"It is large, but the people are
still friendly down here. There are
people from different areas. It
doesn't take long to make friends
with a lot of people."
Chaffee said he enjoys "the
overall attitude of freedom at
UNC being on your own and
making your own decisions."
Alice Paylor, 310 East Cobb,
from Greenville, S.C., said she likes
Carolina "because of the
opportunity to meet a lot of new
people."
When asked if she was homesick,
Miss Paylor said, "I am not
homesick at all. I like being away
from home and not having family
obligations."
Hubert Williamson, 232 James, a
black student from Clinton, N.C.,
said he doesn't think "it is a
disadvantage being a black at UNC.
In fact, I think it is more of an
advantage.
"People seem to bend your way.
People go out of their way to show
they are not prejudiced. It is real
easy on the black student for the
most part."
Virginia Stewart, 252 West Cobb,
from Nashville, Tenn., said she
thinks Carolina is "just perfect. I
don't think I would change
anything about Carolina.
"The people here are great,"
she said. "They seem to go out of
their way to help you or to be
friendly."
Howard Wershil, 233 James,
from Winston-Salem, said, "I like
there being so many people here
and so many different kinds of
people. There is a group for just
about everybody."
Wershil said he doesn't like
"living on South Campus and being
so far away from the main campus.
I hope they get a South Union in
Chase Cafeteria. It would be a big
improvement."
Sandy Bird, 934 Morrison, from
Fayetteville, said UNC wasn't the
first college of her choice. "But I
really like it here she said.
"The funny thing, is that I didn't
expect to like it." she added. "I
didn't want to come here. I wanted
to go to school in Texas where I
used to live.
"I liked Texas better than North
Carolina. But Chapel Hill doesn't
seem to be like the rest of North
Carolina."
Miss Bird said she thinks dorm
hours for first semester freshmen
girls should be abolished because
"it seems a little unfair that we
have hours and no one else does."
Nancy Alexander, 252 West
Cobb, from Winston-Salem, said she
was apprehensive about coming to
such a large university as UNC. "I
was sort of scared that since the
University is so big that I would
sort of be swallowed up," she said.
"But it doesn't seem that way at
all. I have met so many people in
my classes and in the dorm.
"I love it. I like the dorm and the
people and just about everything."

'Social Activities Lacking '
Frosh Say They Study More
"You sure have to study a lot
more here than in high school. Here
you are, all on your own, and, if
you don't make it, it's your own
fault."
"I think the school is lacking in
social facilities. With a campus this
large, the South Campus is sort of
left out. And there is little in the
way of social activities for black
students."
That is the way two of the 10
freshmen the DTH interviewed
recently viewed two major aspects
of Carolina life - academic and
social.
Stephanie Ann Pappas, from
Nashville, Tenn. and living in East
Cobb, summed up what a lot of
students feel about academics when
she said "you're all on your own.''

student from Clinton who is living

You know those timid little ladylike
shavers? Well forget them. Because the '
big, all-new Lady Norelco 20L is here, f
And it's the world's fastest ladies'
shaver. f
It has the biggest shaving head of
all the ladies' shavers.
The largest active cutting area. And
an extra-thin shaving head to shave
extra close and smooth.
Which means you can shave your
legs and underarms 40 to 50 j

in James, gave his impression of the
social life here for normal
students and for himself as a black.
Williamson said UNC was a
"fine academic institution," but
found fauft with the social activities
available.
Bruce Pearce, 538 James, from
Hendersonville, had a particular
complaint to make about the social
life.
"One of my major objections to
the social activities here is that
nobody ever gets up and dances
when groups play," he said.
"Everybody just sits around.
"It's great to be able to go and
hear big groups like Chicago play,
but, you know, I would like to have
some dances, too."
Nancy Alexander, a
Winston-Salem native and a resident
of West Cobb, said she enjoyed the
social life here.
"I love it," she related, "I like
the dorm and the people and just
about everything."
Tom Holt, from Bethesda, Md.
and living in James, said the only
problem he encountered socially
was in getting a date.
"I think these people are the
friendliest people I've ever met,"
Holt said, "but it is tougher for
freshmen men to get dates than I
thought it would be."
But what about the academic
side of UNC what students are
here for in the lingo of the "over
30" generation.
Virginia Stewart, West Cobb,
from Nashville, Tenn., said it takes
hard work to keep up in her classes.
"But it really isn't as hard as I
expected it to be," she said.
Holt answered that his work load
is "pretty heavy, but I expected
hard work and I got it."
John Chaffee, a hometown
Chapel Hillian, had a more specific
complaint about the academics.
Chaffee doesn't like English.
"They still tell you what to write
about," he complained. "This limits
you somewhat on what you can
and what you cannot say. 1 think
they should just give you a lew
basic ideas of subject matter and
give you leeway to which way to
go."
Alice Paylor, from Greenville,
and living in East Cobb, also had a
, specific complaint.
She doesn't think freshmen girls
should be required to take physical
education.
"I don't think it is necessary for
an education," she charged, a
complaint familiar to
upperclassmen who can now sit
back and grow fat without the
worry of twice-weekly P.E.
Freshmen have now been
indoctrinated to the Carolina way
of life. Socially, academically and
otherwise, what one author once
called "the great leap" has now
been made.
Introducing the most absorbent
tampon ever put in an applicator.

What makes it so absorbent?
Examine the fiber designs closely. Ours
is a series of tiny
traps. It's revolutionary ;
the most absorbent fiber f J f
ever made for f
a tampon. And we're the ' v
only ones who I !
have it. In fact, we've
even patented it.
Compact when dry, I
it expands when wet to
hold an extraordinary amount
of moisture. And absorbs much faster
than other tampons can.
With the Modess Tampon, you
feel secure. Even on your worst
days and nights, when you may have
worn a napkin, too, you're apt to
find this tampon does the job
all by itself.
We wanted this
tampon to be more com
fortable than any other.
Because Modess Tampons

are more compact than the ones
you're used to, they re
easier to insert and more
comfortable to wear.

flexible polyethylene
applicator can't
stick or pinch or scratch the
way cardboard can.
Which is nice.
Because, once a month,
every little bit of comfort
counts.
Make this test It's taken us
9 years, testing thousands of women,
to develop this tampon.
But the test that really counts
is for you to wear them the next
time you have your period.
Just think. More
comfort. More
protection. Fewer times
to change with new
