Course review answers queries
by Merton Vance
Staff Writer
Just about the time UNC students are finishing midterm
exams, it is time to start preregistration for spring semester
courses.
For those who cannot decide between a course in "The
History of Green Chinese Pottery" or "The Impact of
Vegetables on Western Civilization," there is some help.
Several campus organizations offer course reviews which
can help students evaluate course offerings.
The Carolina Course Review will be distributed on
campus Monday. This review is based on questionnaires
distributed to students in classes held last spring. The survey
results are compiled by the Carolina Course Review staff
and provide a percentile rating of courses. The review covers
courses in approximately 25 departments.
Another course description has been compiled by Phi Eta
Sigma, the freshman honorary society. This survey is based

Ruff in girls get the hots
after water pipe breaks
When residents of Ruffin dormitory read
the signs posted in their bathrooms
Thursday morning, they decided against
taking showers.
"There is not cold water be careful," the
signs admonished residents. The cold water
was cut off at approximately 2 a.m. until a
bursted two-inch water line could be
repaired.
The main cold water line to Ruffin was
repaired by 10 a.m., and cole water was again
flowing from the faucets, Hughes Lloyd,
water distribution foreman, said. He said the

on information from professors. The survey covers six
departments African and Afro-American Studies,
Anthropology, Philosophy, Psychology, Religion and
Sociology.
The survey includes professors descriptions of their
courses and a list of the textbooks for their courses.
The Phi Eta Sigma course description was started last
spring and has been expanded this year. Copies will be
distributed to locations around campus within the next
week.
Douglas Johnson, president of Phi Eta Sigma, said, "We
try to select departments on the basis of their popularity to
students across majors and the popularity of the
departments."
In addition to these course reviews.most departments and
schools provide course descriptions of their own. These are
intended primarily for majors, but are available to anyone
through the department offices.
And, of course, there is always the Student Bulletin to
provide brief descriptions of courses.
weight of Wednesday's rain-soaked earth on
the old and weak pipeline, caused the
coupling to burst.
Grimes resident Lindo Webster said he
first noticed the bursted pipe at 9 p.m.
Wednesday. "It looked like it was just
seeping up through a round hole, like an
Artesian well," he said.
The water created a streambed and flowed
through Upper Quad to Raleigh Street.
Webster reported the bursted pipe to
Campus Police around midnight, and Lloyd
checked it at 2 a.m.

Reserve rock. . .The library is a place to
borrow books, magazines and rocks. At least
one rock was checked out last week.
Bill Rode was working in the
Undergraduate Library last Wednesday
night when two guys brough in a large rock
and dropped it in the middle of the floor.
They left without an explanation.
Minutes later, another student entered the
library, picked up the rock, took it to the
reserve reading desk and requested to check
it out. But the clerk at the reserve desk said
that rocks weren't in his department and sent
the student to the circulation desk.
"They said they wanted to prove they
checked it out," Rode said. "They wanted to
check it out for a geology class."
After Rode stamped the date on the rock,
the guy took it out and brough it back about
twenty minutes later. "Then several girls

came in and asked to see the reserve rock."
The rock is now sitting outside the
Undergraduate Library. An engraving on
the rock says it is 200 years old.
"At first I though the library was not the
place for a prank," Rode said. But it became
a conversation piece, he said. "The comic
relief of the situation provided a release
valve from the pressures of studying."
Rode said people didn't seem to mind the
interruptions. In fact, one person taped an
invitation to his party on the rock along with
a map to his house, he said.
Bare Facts... The combination of
Playboy foldouts and Jimmy Carter
interviews must be a winning one if magazine
sales are any indication.
The North Carolina News Service, the
local magazine wholesaler, delivered about
2, 100 copies of the November Playboy to 35
book and magazine dealers in Chapel Hill
last week. The magazinesT sold so quickly
that few copies were left on stands 24 hours
later.
Every copy in Chapel Hill and Carrboro
has been sold. Campus Confections seems to
have sold out quickest. Owner James
Mousmoules said his 500 copies were gone in
four hours.
Little Professor book store sold 40 copies
in the first few hours; the store ordered extra
copies in expectation of a sell-out but didn't
receive the full order.
At Ken's Quickee Mart, 80 or 90 issues
were sold within 24 hours. "We could have
sold about 500 of them, probably more, if
we'd have had them," owner Larry Tollinger
said.
The Chapel Hill Newspaper reported
Thursday that two Carrboro stores sold of
out of the magazines as late as Wednesday.
One female customer bought 10 copies, the
paper reported.
Mousmoules at Campus Convections said
he heard that two Raleigh stores sold $750
worth of magazines to one customer.
"The dealer was crazy. He's got regular
customers," Mousmoules said.
Bill Woodsides of the North Carolina
News Service said 140 copies were sold to
one customer at the Raleigh-Durham
airport.
The article, "Now the Real Jimmy
Carter," was heralded by a full page ad in the
Raleigh News and Observer Wednesday.
The ad, paid for by the Ford for President
Committee, said "One good way to decide
this election. Read last week's Newsweek.
Read this month's Playboy." -
Room in Bloom. . .What do you say to a
delivery man with 300 flowers?
"What can you say?"
That was the expression of UNC coed
Verna Gates when her boyfriend sent her 300
flowers 100 white carnations, 100 daisies
and 100 assorted colors of roses.
Word traved fast through Cobb dorm
when Gates received the flowers. The curious
followed their noses to Gates room to see the
miracle for themselves.
"I was just really surprised," Gates said.
Gates said she knew something fishy was
going on when she walked in her room and
saw several roses. Her roommate asked her
to leave. When Gates came back, there were
the 300 flowers.
Will he do it again? "He'd better not" is all
Gates had to say.
