While many people were enjoying
turkey during Thanksgiving and
Christmas, Phyllis Joy was munching
away on a Big Mac in Vermont with her
family, thanks to a trip provided by
McDonald's.
Joy, a secretary in UNCs audiovisual
department, flew via United Airlines to
northern Vermont not once but twice to
be with her family for four days each
time as part of McDonald's "Bring your
family home for the holidays' publicity
gimmick.
Joy, or "Big Mac" as she laughingly
referred to herself, said she thought she
was flown up twice to make her prize
comparable to those won by larger
families.
I think if they had had a family of 10
they would have flown them ail up.
Since there was only one of me, maybe
that's why they flew me twice."
Joy said she found out about her
holiday-trip-to-come last summer from
her son, his wife and their three
daughters.

Declaring a major. For some people it's
easy. Either they know exactly what area
interests them, or they just don't care. But
for those sophomores who don't know
and do care, declaring a major can be a
frustrating experience.
Major Declaration Days, scheduled
for Jan. 29-Feb. 9, are designed to help.
Sponsored by the General College and
Student Government, Major Declaration
Days give second-semester sophomores
who are unsure of their preferences, a,. 1
chance to talk with their advisers and
with students and professors in the fields
they are considering.
The days are highlighted by a two-day
Major Mart, scheduled for 1-4 p.m. Jan.
31 and Feb. 1 in Great Hall, Carolina
Union. Representatives from the various
schools and departments will be available
to answer questions about required
ccjrscs and opportunities in that major.

applications in July when she stopped in
Virginia on her way home to Durham;
after a vacation, but she never thought
she'd win.
Actually, she didn't. But her
daughter-in-law did win a drawing in
Vermont and as part of the prize
agreement Joy was flown north to be
with her family.
"I've never won anything like that
before, nor has anyone in my family,"
she said. "If it had not been for this trip I
probably would not have been able to
see my family because I usually only see
them once a year."
Joy's trip package included a ticket to
Vermont and back, twice, with meals on
the plane, and a dinner for the whole

Literature about the major also will be
available.
A limited number of the handout A
Guide to Major Possibilities, which were
printed last year for the first Major
Declaration Days, will be distributed to
students at the mart. A mimeographed
insert updating the guide also will be
available.
Each school, department and
curriculum also has been encouraged to
offer programs foe prospective majors
during the declaration days.
A second reason for the days is to
encourage sophomores to declare a major
early enough in the semester for them to
be assigned to their new advisers before
preregistration for fall classes in early
April.
Any student who already is certain of
the major he will declare may simply fill

more than three feet of snow on the

beginning Monday. All other students
may make 10-minute appointments with
their General College advisers, also
beginning Monday.
A student will not be pressured into
declaring a major if he still is badly
confused, but students who are
considering transfering to one of the
professional schools have a better chance
of being accepted into that school as a
sophomore from General College than as
a junior from Arts and Sciences.
Any student who declares a major and
later changes his mind usually can
transfer to another "major without
difficulty.
Students planning to declare a double
major also should be ready to do so
during their appointment. Students'
records will be forwarded to their
advisers in their new majors by March 10.

Chapel Hi!!, North Carolina

The state's property tax commission
ruled Wednesday that UNC will have to
pay tax on the Carolina Inn and portions
of two other properties to Chapel Hill,
Carrboro and Orange County. The
University has not decided whether to
appeal the ruling.
"It will at least be next week and it may
be that we will want a month," said John
Temple, vice chancellor of business and
finance. "We may want to talk to our
trustees," he said.
The commission's report was sent to
the Orange County tax supervisor, Bill
Laws, on Thursday. "I haven't figured
out all they said," Laws said.
The commission ruled Wednesday that
. U NC property used for commercial,
rather than educational purposes may be
taxed. The Carolina Inn, the first floor of
the Hill Building on Franklin Street,
which houses the Carolina Coffee Shop
and two clothing stores, and portions of
the Horace Williams Airport property
are subject to taxation by the three
governments.
Other UNC property, valued at $30
million, is exempt from taxation because
it is being used for educational purposes,
the University is not using the property,
or the University is holding it for
expansion, the commission's report said.
The- University appealed the 1974
taxation of property valued at $40 million
to the commission. The ruling
Wednesday said only $3 million of the
property is taxable. The Carolina Inn is
valued at $2,378,700 for tax purposes and
the other properties are valued at less
than $1 million.
The U niversity will have to pay $40,000
to $50,000 in property taxes on the
Carolina Inn, Temple said. "We'd have to
evaluate what they've said on the other
properties. What they've said is that part
of the property is taxable.
"The Hill Building on Franklin
Street the bottom is rented and the top
is used by the University. The bottom is
subject to taxation and the top is not.

In his budget recommendations for the
1979-81 biennium. Gov. Jim Hunt
Monday called for a $933 million
appropriation to the 16-campus UNC
system. The governor's suggestion fell 20
percent below the amount requested by
the UNC Board of Governors.
Hunt's recommendation represents a 6
percent funding increase for the
university system over current levels.
Hearings on UNCs budget get
underway today before a joint session of
the Senate Base Budget Committee on
Education and the House
Appropriations Committee on
Education.
"Counseling the limitations of
available resources, we think Hunt's
recommendations are fair," said L. Felix
Joyner, UNC vice president for finance.
"But we may ask the appropriations
committee for a supplemental request to
restore' certain projects or programs."
Hunt chopped the board's request for
new programs by half, from $66.2 million
to $33 million. The governor cut the
capital improvements request from
$117.1 million to $72.7 million, and
trimmed the- continuing operations
budget from $683 million to $68 1 million.

window Thursday night in Eringhaus

his head:
A spokesman for the team said the
injuries will probably not affect his ability

"He cut two fingers on his left hand and
they sewed them up," said Rick Brewer,

Brewer said Wood, a sophomore from

Thursday night with ice on his hand.
