This year you may be doubly sorry you
didn't buy the 1973 UNC yearbook.
Those who bought theirs last year have the
chance to win up to $50 in prize money as
well as the satisfaction of knowing they own
what could become the second consecutive
YACKETY YACK to be given the Printing

yearbook in the country.

WASHINGTON An estimated 60,000
college and trade school students have
defaulted on $55.2 million in federally
guaranteed loans over the past five years and
the government has recovered only $3.2
million, according to the U.S. Office of
Education.
Officials said they are expanding their
regional collection units to meet the
problem. But while the staff has grown from
just three collectors for the entire country as
recently as March, 1972, to 28 collectors and
examiners in 10 regional offices, the
collection goal for this year is still a modest
$5.5 million.
"We are having trouble collecting on the
Guaranteed Student Loan Program, and we
are taking very vigorous steps to hopefully
correct the situation," Peter Muirhead,
deputy commissioner for higher education,
said. "I would be less than candid if 1 didn't
acknowledge the fact that we are very
worried about this problem."
Since last November, about 75 per cent of
all defaults have involved vocational
schools, said William M. Simmons, director
of the division of insured loans.
Office of Education figures showed that
the $55.2 million was actually repaid to
lenders by the government during the five
years on behalf of the 60,000 students.

East Asia. According to John Crimmins,
head of the Carolina Symposium, ideas for
the theme grew out of a personal interest
developed while traveling in Asia.
Crimmins lived in Korea five and one-half
months. "People there are outstanding with
a frank warmth and friendliness. I want to
bring some of those feelings to the campus,"
Crimmins said.
"The focus of attention has shifted from
Europe to East Asia since World War II.
We're an Asian world now. Hopefully, the
Symposium will educate students about an
area of vital importance about which little is
known," he added.
Over $800 will be handed out to UNC
students when the 1 973 Yacks are distributed
next week. The money has been sealed
randomly in 86 yearbooks in amounts
varying from $5 to $50.
Yacks will first be given out from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18, in the South
Lounge of the Union. They will be
distributed from 1 until 5 p.m. in the South
Lounge. Sept. 19, 20 and 21.
Students may pick up yearbooks in the
Yack office, Suite D of the Union, from I to
5 p.m. during the week of Sept. 24 through
Sept. 28. After that time, subscriptions will
be considered void, and those yearbooks not
picked up will be placed on sale for $10.
Students must have their ID's with them
to pick up a Yack. Yearbooks for those who
graduated last year will be mailed to their
homes.
Anyone who wishes to own a 1973
yearbook and failed to buy one last year may
place his name on the waiting list in the Yack
office.
"Naturally we are proud of the 1973
Yackety Yack," said Editor Mark Dearmon.
"We have over 100 color pages, more than
any previous Yack."
The award to the 197 Yack as best
yearbook was granted by the Printing
Industry of America this summer.
Publishing companies submit the
yearbooks they think are the best of those
they are printing, and 20 honor certificates
are awarded by judges. One of these 20 also
receives a plaque for Best of Category.
The Yackety Yack ranked among the top
20 in 1969, 1970, and 1971. Last year marked
the first time the Yack has received the top
prize.
The award is based on excellence in such
categories as design, conception, printing,
photography and copy.
Sales for the 1974 Carolina yearbook will
begin later this month. "Whether or not we
repeat the prize money depends on students'
reaction and our 1973 budget," said Martha
Farlow, 1974 Yack editor.

The Symposium is still in the planning
stage. The problem now is securing the
necessary funds to proceed with projected
plans. Student Government cut the $8,000
request to $1000.
Crimmins described some of the ideas on
the agenda. Proposed plans include a
speaker on Chinese music, a presentation of
Chinese poetry and a illustration of the art of
Japanese paper folding techniques.
An acupuncture display has been planned "
with a chance of using a live subject on the
stage. An expert will explain the beautiful art
of calligraphy and show how each letter is a
minute drawing.
The Symposium is concentrating on
getting Henry Kissinger to come to UNC.
according to Crimmins. Other proposed
public figures include Kate Millctt. a leader
in the field of women's rights, who would
speak on the role of Asian woman.
Crimmins explained that he wants
gradually to educate UNC students on the
subject of East Asia so they will be prepared
for the massive concentrated material that
will be available during the week of the
Symposium.
He plans to accomplish this by bringing a
few exhibits on East Asia to the campus in
the fall along with a few guest speakers. This
will gradually introduce students to East
Asia so they will be able more fully to
appreciate the spring Symposium.
Crimmins stressed the need of ideas for the
Symposium. Any interested students are
urged to attend a meeting at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday in room 206 of the Student Union.

"1 could have been killed," UNC sophomore Jim Rudik said after part of
the plaster ceiling in his Stacy dorm room fell in.
That was almost two weeks ago. The same thing has happened twice since
then, Rudzik said.
He said his RA had reported the problem to University Housing several
times since the first incident, but had gotten no response from the Operatios
Department, which handles all repairs.
"We're asking for compensation for damages from the Univ ersity," Rudzik
said. "When the plaster fell, it damaged the TV, a couple of albums and some
glasses we had on the desk."
Russ Perry's office. Operations Department, said they only learned of the
situation Monday and sent two men to Stacy to inspect the room.
Operations reported that a new acoustical tile ceiling will be put in
Rudzik's room and in another one in the dorm that has a faulty ceiling.
The Operations Department is asking students to report major repairs like
this to their residence directors in order to get them done as quickly as
possible. Since no one from the Housing Department regularly sees students
rooms, they said they have no other way of finding out what condition dorm
rooms are in.
