A chance to pursue innovative and
creative majors leading to A3, degrees is
now available to rising juniors on , the
Chapel Hill campus of UNC.
The new interdisciplinary major
program, recently approved by the
Faculty Council, is designed to allow the
individual student to tailor his course
program to his own tastes, according to
Dr. Mark Applebaum, assistant dean for
Experimental and Special Studies.
"Except for International Studies and
American Studies, this is the only other
method for the students to put together
their courses according to what they
want," he said. -1
"We have made the assumption that
the interests of the students will be
somewhere represented in the
curriculum," Applebaum . said. "Now .
we're letting the curriculum be formed by
the student." ., ;
1 Some 12 students have already formed
their 60-hour programs under the new
system and are studying a variety of
topics through a discipline which crosses
departmental lines.
. Among the topics currently - being
investigated under this new program are
population and ecological problems, the
development of Western .moral thought,
the development of the West as revealed
through its music and the nature of the
creative experience.
The new program is open to anyone
who has at least 45 hours or three .
semesters to complete before their
intended graduation from the University.
r The first step a student must take if he
desires the' interdisciplinary major is to
draw up a schedule of 20 courses which
will comprise his final two. years of
undergraduate work.
Six of those courses must be in the

Future AWS programs
studies at meeting
Committees of the Association of
Women Students (AWS) began making
plans for future AWS programs and
projects at their .Monday, night meeting.
A new committee was established to
study the needs of the community. .
According to Cathy Caulhorne,
president of AWS, the 'committee will
study such problems as the need for day
care centers in Chapel Hill.
If the committee finds that additional
day care facilities are needed, it may
begin plans for establishing and funding a
center, said Miss Caulhorne.
Miss Caut home reported the AWS
education committee is planning to
conduct a poll among UNC women. '
The poll, she said, will.be used to
determine student interest in seminars on
field of concentration in which the
student desires to specialize. These
courses must come from at least two
departments.
At least another 10 of the courses the
student selects must come from at least
four disciplines which are not included in
the major concentration.
Four or more courses may be specified
in the schedule as electives.
The student should then find a faculty
member to sponsor him in his program
and work out with him the final details of
the program.

Last year attendance was higher at
zoos than the attendance at professional
football, basketball, baseball and hockey
games combined.
. With this in mind, the N.C. Zoological
Authority is now working on the
development of a state zoological park
which would open its first phase in June,
1973. .
; Any progress in reaching this deadline
now depends upon a possible
appropriation by the North Carolina
Legislature of $2 million, which would
then be matched by private sources.
As a zoological park, it will feature
"free" animals and "caged" visitors.
Natural barriers will be used to separate
animals from each other and from the
viewers. This plan will allow

projected major should then be submitted
to Dr. Applebaum in 303C South
Building.
The program will be administered by
the faculty sponsor and the Associate
Dean for Experimental and Special
Studies.
Graduation with honors in the
interdisciplinary program involves the
presentation of an honors thesis and a
defense of that thesis before a faculty
panel.
Application forms for the new
program may be obtained from Dr.
Applebaum.
wants -zoo,
"continental" groupings of animals which
seem to be together, but actually are
separated by rocks or water.
Perhaps the most important reason for
operating a zoo is conservation. " J
Over the period of the last 2,000
years, 50 per cent of our extinct animals
have vanished so since 1 900.'
Animals such as the bison and the
whooping crane were kept from
disappearing through the efforts of zoos
to breed them.
The zoo will be stocked with animals
bought from live animal dealers and other
zoos around the country. The Zoological
Authority is presently working toward an
understanding with China in which a
giant panda will be exchanged or bought
by the zoological park. (
The park will also contain a special
education center for school children, the
blind, and the physically and mentally
handicapped. The center will include an
intern program for students in veterinary
school and will provide the possibility of
research projects for. schools of medicine ''
and science. '
Recreational facilities, such as picnic,
areas and nature trails will be available to -the
visitor.
Economically, the zoo will support
itself. According to a study made by the
Research Triangle Institute, it will
contribute $64 million to the state
economy by 1981 in the form of taxes"
and expenditures.
The zoo will be a market for animal ,
feed crops grown locally and will create
new jobs paying around $700,000 in :
salaries per year. Approximately 125 ;
summer jobs will become available, r"; T-'yfc

Scott Morgan, coordinator for the
Walk Against Hunger held in March, has
urged all walkers to turn in their money
as soon as possible.
Morgan estimated $10,000-$ 15,000
would xbe collected eventually. He
indicated that more than $7,000 has been
received so far.
Morgan said the Inter-Church Council
is desperately in need of its 42.5 per cent
of the donations. -
The Council will use the Walk money
for ita loan and grant fund and to provide
counseling service for poor residents of
Chapel Hill.'
An additional 42.5 per cent of the
Walk proceeds will go to the American
Friends V Service Committee for their
agricultural project in Mexico.
The remaining 15 per cent will be
employed by the American Freedom
From Hunger Foundation for future
Hunger Walks.
Morgan asked the walkers to bring
their Walk cards with them when turning
in their collected donations.
