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. -day dates set 0p!h declare war om;maj3re 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. EDTH9 r -T-MZLJL Jj Mr. .

She said she had filled out Ma handful" of McDonald's trip 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 family at McDonald's. "It was great ," she said. "The kids really enjoyed it.

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.

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. O - denotes distribution Chapel Hi!!, North Carolina By JOAN BRAFFORD StafT Writer 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.

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. 20 p Wood slices hand; not serious UNC basketball player Al Wood tripped and fell through a plate-glass window Thursday night in Eringhaus Dorm, slightly injuring two fingers and his head: A spokesman for the team said the injuries will probably not affect his ability to play in Saturday's game with Maryland.
