Night Deli Planned
BY KANTA KOCHHAR-UNDGREN
Surf WriUr
On November 28, the Graduate
Council, in conjuction with the Com-muting
Students Association, will
sponsor a Night Deli in Cone
Ballroom from 5-8:30 p.m. It is the
first major at-large social activity
for the Graduate Council this
semester, and all commuting
students and graduate students are
invited. The function is free with
the presentation of the student ID.
According to Ed McLester, one of
the co-vice presidents of the
Graduate Council, the Night Deli
was instigated to provide a social
environment for graduate students,
especially those who commute, in
different departments to meet each
other and to provide information on
other programs. "Because of the
overload on a graduate student's in-formation
system, it is difficult for
a student to find what he needB.
Hopefully, this event will offset that
problem," states Mr. McLester.
In addition, Pete Walker, another
co-vice president of the Graduate
Council, stresses that deli hours are
such that a maximum number of
students should be able to attend
before and after their classes.
Dewey Whitaker, president of the
Commuting Students Association,
indicates that the two organiza-tions
are expecting six hundred peo-ple.
Although this is the first time
the Commuting Students Associa-tion
has worked with a night deli,
it has sponsored daytime delis and
social events for commuters that
have been a big success.
In addition, Lucy Gucwa and Pete
Walker, two of the co-vice
presidents of the Graduate Council,
comment that the response to the
Graduate Council continues to be
good. Graduate students have
shown their encouragement and
support for the chances occurring
in the organisation. Administration
also continues their support. The of-ficers
urge graduate students to
complete and return the survey on
interest in research and publica-tions,
recently mailed out to
graduate students, by Friday,
November 16. They are also very in-terested
in hearing about any con-cerns
or desires to have certain
programming.
With the expected approval of the
new constitution at this Thursday's
meeting and confirmation of the
current officers, more structure will
be built into the Graduate Council's
operations. As a result, the
organization will be able to follow
through on requests and interests
much more effectively than it has in
the past. For example, the new con-stitution
defines the three co-vice
presidents' positions. One involves
programming and organization
the petitioning process of the coun-cil
by Other groups for funds,
another position—the financing,
and the third—administrative
affairs.
Pete Walker, a second year
graduate student in history who
teaches a course at Randolph
Technical College in Asheboro,
would potentially be in charge of
programming. He sees his overall
role involved with helping graduate
students receive full benefit of their
activity fees, and emphasizes the
reorganization going on with the
new constitution and budget as a
"high water mark" for the
Graduate Council.
Ed McLester, a second year doc-toral
candidate in higher education
administration, would work with
aministrative affairs. He has
become involved with the Graduate
Council because it "offers me a
chance to have a lot of influence on
what I can do for graduate
students." Development of the
Graduate Council could lead to
"cross contacts for cross fertiliza-tion;"
in other words, room for ex-change
between graduate students
in different departments could open
up.
Lucy Gucwa, an MBA student
commuting from Asheboro, would
work with finance. She also feels
that it is important to take the
money from activity fees and
allocate it into programs for
graduate students.
Pam Cecil is the president of the
Graduate Council.
The next meeting for the
Graduate Council is Thursday,
November 15, at 5:30 in Phillips
Lounge.
St. Mary's Offers Counseling
BY BILL HGLUB
Surf Wriur
St. Mary's House is taking a big
step forward for minority students
here at UNC-G. Through a grant
from the Episcopal diocese, St.
Mary's House is currently sponsor-ing
minority counseling services
free of charge. According to
Yvonne Johnson, coordinator of the
program, "We're getting out the
word with the help of the Neo-Black
Society, and we hope to begin
soon." Ms. Johnson believes that
before too long the program should
take hold. She, along with many
minority students, feel that the time
has come, and that the need exists
for minority counseling on campus.
Rev. Charles Hawes, Episcopal
Campus Minister, also sees this as
an important step forward for the
University. "There are over 10,000
students here, yet there is not a
single minority counselor or
chaplain on campus." He believes
that the program is especially im-portant
in light of the fact that
UNC-G is currently trying to draw
more blacks into the school. Accor-ding
to Rev. Hawes. 'The Univer-sity
is very responsive to this, we
have received several endorsements
from the University Administra-tion.
We don't see ourselves in com-petition
with the Health Center or
the Counseling Center, we are in-stead
an extenaion of these
services."
Yvonne Johnson is the heart and
soul of the program. She takes a
special interest in minority students
here at UNC-G. As she says, "I feel
that 1 am sensitive to the needs of
minority students. I went to school
at A & T, so I've been in Greensboro
for a while. I've had several oppor-tunities
to come to UNC-G to
counsel students, and I really think
I have a feel for this campus." (Ms.
Johnson graduated from North
Carolina A & T with a Masters
degree in counseling and guidance.)
Under the current program, only
individual counseling is being of-fered,
but Ms. Johnson hopes this
will change. She says that the Neo-
Black Society has indicated a need
for group sessions. These may be
available soon.
Counseling sessions will be held
between 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Mon-days,
and from 6:30-9:30 p.m. on
Thursdays. Sessions are available
by appointment only. (St. Mary's
House, Walker Ave. 379-5219.) Ms.
Johnson encourages anyone to call
who would feel more comfortable
talking with a minority counselor.
(Confidentiality will be maintained
in all but extreme circumstances.) Pine Needles
Arrives Early
The 1982 and 1983 editions of the
Pine Needle* have arrived early and
an ready for distribution. The
books, not expected until late
December, can be picked up at the
University Media Board office in
208 Elliott Center.
The yearbook was not originally
anticipated until late December,
which would have pushed distribu-tion
back to early in the Spring. But
due to some uncertainties in the
printing contract, the printer had
the finished product ready early.
The yearbooks arrived nearly two
weeks ago.
Pine Needles copies are available
only to those students who paid for
them in advance. Mike Stewart of
the UMB pointed out that if those
students had a receipt, "it would be
very helpful."
UMB office hours are fairly flexi-ble.
If students can not meet these
hours, Stewart noted that someone
is usually there during most times
of the day.

Residence Life Surveying the
Possible Modernization of Dorms
By Leah Povey
Staff Writer
After twenty years of the same
old dorm situations, Steve Haulman
has organized a committee devoted
to modernizing the dorms so that
they will be in tune with what the
students want. Though Haulman
\ 'as unavailable for comment,
Robert Tomlinson, director of
Residence Life, was familiar with
many of the new ideas of the
committee.
According to Tomlinson, the com-mittee
has come up with a wide
variety of options for students to
choose from. These various ideas
should make student housing more
appealing to students.
One particular idea is that of a
Special Interest dorm. Different
floors of a dorm will be devoted to
different interests of studies of the
students. For example, one floor
devoted entirely to business majors
another to music majors, etc.
Another idea that the committee
thought of was that of having an en-tire
floor of just single occupant
rooms. There is also an idea of a co-operation
floor. On this floor,
students will be responsible for
cleaning bathrooms, halls, etc. For
performing these duties students
will pay a reduced rate for doing
their own housework.
An idea that has already receiv-ed
much attention from the
students is that of Greek housing.
Though the idea is only in a
preliminary discussion stage,
Tomlinson feels that perhaps in the
future Greek housing will be a reali-
Sat UNC-G. The idea is that UNC-invests
in buying some houses by
campus that will be used as Greek
Houses or at least turn over a floor
or two of a dorm to the fraternity
or sorority.
Family housing is another
futuristic idea. In the spring of
1986, students will be filling out
surveys on whether or not they are
interested in the idea of family
housing for young, married couples.
The second step in this idea is ex-ploring
the financial aspects of
building apartment living units on
the outskirts of campus. These
family housing units would also be
available to the single graduate
students who are tired of dorm life.
Besides all of these new ideas be-ing
discussed for the donm, the
committee is also working on some
"twenty-first century ideas", accor-ding
to Tomlinson. For example, if
Data Processing majors decide to
live on one floor of a dorm there is
a possibility that computers will be
placed in the study parlors so that
students can work at anytime. For
Creative Art majors or Music ma-jors
the study parlors will IH.-
transformed into sound-proof work
rooms.
Tomlinson feels that since UNC-G
is already fixing up dorms and has
other plans for the dining hall, it is
now time to be responsive to the
needs and wants of todays students.
Though basically all of these ideas
are not near the specific details,
they are being discussed. In time,
students will be asked to voice their
opinions as to which type of dorm
arrangement they prefer. So—
speak out when the time comes and
modernize UNC-G.
