Get wild and have fun one last
time before going out into the real
world. Senior Class President David
Venable is telling his classmates this
week.
For Monday through Saturday
night, the plans include drink spe
cials for seniors at local bars, class
lunches at downtown restaurants, a
movie night and commencement
information day, all topped off by
a formal dance in Durham Saturday
night just for seniors all 3,300 of
them.
"This is one of their last chances
to enjoy themselves with their
classmates." Venable said. "This is
a last time to kick up our heels before
we settle in for exams."
Carolina Fever Club aims to increase
university spirit at athletic functions
By PHYLLIS A. FAIR
Staff Writer
A Carolina Athletic Association
club has been formed lor students
who like to scream and yell at
loot ball and basketball games, but
feel embarrassed about doing so.
For several months, students,
administrators and faculty have
expressed their views about UNCs
lack of school spirit, and how they
would like to see it improved, said
Robert Temple, co-vice president of
the Carolina Fever Club.
The club, which will be similar to
a pep club, was set up because UNCs
school spirit had steadily gone
downhill. Temple said, and students
as well as spectators were not
cheering for the athletic teams.
People have become too lax and
used to winning, he said.
"Cheering for your team has sort
of gotten out of the norm here." he
said. "There is plenty to cheer about
here, but nothing (nobody) to cheer

Spring is already here, he said, and
exams are coming up too. After that
comes, seniors will have graduation
to look forward to with anticipation
and fear, he said.
"We're beginning to realize the
time is closing in on us," Venable
said. For his classmates, he said,
"There's one month left to do things
they haven't done until now."
The week gives seniors more
recognition across campus, he said.
To participate in some Senior
Week, activities, however,, students
must show a senior identification
sticker, Venable said. Seniors who
don't have a sticker should stop by
Suite B in the Student Union and
show their student identification to
get one. '
To find out what else will be going
with. 1 hate for people to go home
in the summer and feel like they were
embarrassed about our school's
spirit."
I his club will try to change
people's attitudes. By joining the
club, students can scream and yell
as loud as they want to at football
and basketball games, without fear
of ridicule or embarrassment. Tem
ple said.
"The purpose is to have a group
where everybody can be involved,
and you can meet other students."
he said. "A group where students can
have fun and show their school spirit,
and wouldn't feel foolish if they
painted their faces Carolina blue.
We're going to do as much as we
can to promote school spirit."
Within the club, a committee will
help organize activities for the club
to do at the games, like teaching
members cheers and the fight song
so they can work with the band and
the cheerleaders, he said. x

on and when, Venable said seniors
should call the senior class office at
962-1987.
There's a tradition behind all of
this, Venable said. He quoted a
passage from William S. Powell in
"The First State University: A
Pictorial History of The University
of North Carolina:"
"Senior Week in the 1930s and
1940s was a time when seniors might
be recognized on campus and per
haps even envied by lower classmen.
There were extra cuts from classes,
picnics, beer parties in Battle Park,
and other carefree occasions includ
ing Barefoot Day, when seniors were
invited to go barefoot, perhaps
symbolic of a last retreat to child
hood before assuming a serious role
in the world of adults."
Club membership will not be
restricted. Anybody who wants to
join the club is encouraged to do so
undergraduate and graduate
students alike. As long as they want
to be part of the club they are
welcome, he said.
The club has plans to get block
seating and possibly T-shirts for its
members. It is also trying to make
plans so the club can attend some
of the football, soccer or other sports
games held on other campuses, he
said.
If students are interested in
becoming members, they should
contact either Temple or Suzanne
Lowe, the other Fever committee
vice president, at the CAA's office
in Suite C of the Student Union.
The deadline to join the club this
year is April 3.
