Campus Y starts student - In an effort to involve UNC students with the Chapel Hill and Carrboro communities and acquaint senior citizens with the University, the Campus YMCA is initiating a student-elderly program similar to its Big Brother, Big Sister program. The program, called "Link between Campus and Community," will pair each participating student with an elderly person for a few hours a week. "The program serves the dual purpose of involving students with the people of the community and senior citizens with the Unviersity," said Heidi Athanas, one of the program's directors. She described the program as flexible, with the student-elderly pair deciding what they want to do.

M'-mm 175 East Franklin St., c 1 Ms) Carolina Quarterly rewards the diligent reade By MARIANNE HANSEN Staff Writer The fall issue of the Carolina Quarterly has appeared and offers rich rewards to those willing to plow through the undistinguished material to get to the really excellent works. There is much that is good; there is also a fair amount for which this "undistinguished" is the most apt description. There is nothing actively or specifically the matter with it; images and plot are clear, language used competently and responsibly. The works, however, are merely mediocre, lacking brilliance, failing to strike the reader, deserving no special notice. Let us offend a moment, by giving a 'sample of these lesser works special notice. Essinger's "Earth Sunday" stands as a good example. It is a pleasant, if somewhat relationship between the student and senior citizen," Athenas said. After a student is paired with someone in the area, the two are encouraged to stay together as a pair as long as the student is in Chapel Hill. The senior citizens can take the students to some of the lesser-known parts of the community, and students can bring their partners to the campus for lectures, concerts and other activities. Athanas sees the program as a way lor students to develop a more permanent tie with Chapel II ill. She said that by know inga resident of the area, a student has a connection with Chapel Hill that may last "When it comes we come COUpon o Iro FREE with pizza 60$ value good thru Nov. this coupon not good with any other oppressive meditation: a woman wakes in the middle of the night, reflects on the moon, considers her baby, in the new day cooks, watches her husband buy the neighbors' kitten, hears the rain fall in the second night of the piece. I he essay Hows well; there is use of interesting images; for example, the new baby in blankets and aluminum insulation as a ham sandwich; the characters are nice enough people. At the same time, "Earth Sunday" lacks either the straightforward power of dramatic incident or the more insidious effectiveness of artistically created mood which it might have approached. It is simply bland. Not to dwell too persistently on negative aspects of the Quarterly, let us compare "Earth Sunday" w ith another brief offering, I lynt's "Best f riend."

The two directors contacted the local Council on Aging and the Orange County Department of Social Services to get names of elderly persons who might want to participate in the program. Athanas said both organizations were enthusiastic about the Campus Y organizing such a program because "they felt there was a need for older people to be exposed to younger people." Students interested in participating in the program should contact the Campus Y at 933-2084 or 933-7535.

Moreover, she does it with prose that is direct and so flowing that it approaches poetry when read aloud. Let us return briefly to the less satisfying works, with a glance at one of the poems, Jennings' "Thanksgiving Day NYC." This work comments on what? The world's dissatisfaction with traditional religion, probably; the nature of reality, possibly. The problem is, that's a lot to attempt to illuminate in twelve lines. Jennings does not fail to get across an idea of her general subject; she simply fails to make it immediate for the reader. One is tempted to say the poem ought to have been excluded; then, in the last line. Jennings refers to part of Thanksgiv ing dinner as "dirt orange pie" and the reader is w illing to tolerate the preceding eleven lines for these three words. There are quite a few of these sudden flashes of artistry in the midst of a workmanlike competence, especially in the poems. Johnson's " 1 he Lie of Solidness" isa good example, containing both our personal nomination lor worst lines in the Quarterly, ". . .1 listen to lung, liver , Anointing each other in the Blood's swart cult ..." and the marvelous image of "My butted cigar on the curbing, mourned By myopic slugs, ; Dreaming they are rid of their king." One would hardly sacrifice those three lines, even for the deletion of six pages of ghastly verse. Much of the poetry is fascinating. Cioldbarth's marvelous collection of three poems which make up The Family Business" has a consistent theme, and an apparent and laudable regard for structure as a meaningful element.

The pattern of the Quarterly, then, is one of merit partially obscured by mediocrity. Having generalized in this way, it is hoped we will be forgiven for making a few, briefer remarks about offerings which deserve special notice. Grossman's "Mole" is richer than it appears at first, and the reader who troubles to work through it a number of times will be rewarded with an understanding and thrill which belie its original denseness. Boyle's "Ornithology" is clever but may disconcert the reader with its confusion of historical time or put him off with its murder of twenty-six of the thirty characters introduced. Dokey's"Dcad Man" and Week's "The Gemini Run" join Flynt's "Best Friend" to push fiction tothe forefront of this Quarterly. Both are extremely moving; we advise the reader not to attempt them one right after the other, even if they are printed with only a single poem between them. The clean, intense prose of "Dead Man" and the exciting mixture of narration, diary, memory and internal dialogue of the "Gemini Run" reveal both authors as extremely skilled and add artistry to situations which are powerful in themselves. A final note: we hope that the idea of. including graphics throughout the Quarterly has not been discarded. Talansky's cover (and its repetition inside) is certainly interesting, but it is the only graphic offered. More would be welcome. Let it be repeated: The Carolina Quarterly is out and its good points clearly outweigh its bad. There is little that is really poor, some that is rather nondescript, and a great deal that is excellent. delivery (in service area) 8581 300 W.
