LOl IM.C.S.U. vs. U.N.C. CBattleground Anyone who knows any- thing at all about North Carolina feels the heat of the fiery rivalry betw een tw o of its largest universi- ties — North Carolina State University and the University of North Caroli- na at Chapel Hill. The two teams come together ev- ery mid-October for the most celebrated, action- packedi and emotion- charged football game that North Carolinians u ill ever witness. To be a part of it, towns and cities in the vicinity Cand those any- where near a town or city that can possibly claim to be located around Raleigh or Chapel Hilt) celebrate this game in various ways. We at Peace have our own celebration. The old u alls of Peace College have never heard an uproar as loud as the one of the North Carolina State ver- sus UNC-Chapel Hill dinner on the Wednesdey night before the notorious game. Tarheels and Wolf- packers sport their fa- vorite light blue and bright red clothing and gather for a cheering, jeering, shouting n atch in Belk Dining Hall. Even the Stete mascot comes to get in on the action. Upon gredueting from Peace, a large percentage of girls will be transfer- ring to either State or Carolina, and that dumps another load of fuel into the already blazing fire. When the voices be- come hoarse, end the pom-poms lose their fluff, the frenzied girls in light blue, along w ith the ex- huberant girls in red, set- tle down into their dorms, w h e r e they change back to the mild- mannered Peace girls that they had been sever- al hours before. That A ild spirit will lie dormant in those girls until next year when the Pack avenges their loss to the Heels. ■•Tr ' »»--»iiwimii»»»w» iiM ii M i ii m i iro i wii ' i mwPT JiM nammm

The Blind Datse We all have a deep love for Peace College. It: ' s homeyj personal at;mos- phere provides almost alt Che comforts of a home away from home. A e have friends here A ho let us cry on their shoulders even when our favorite kitten is hit by a speeding nnotorist. At Peace there is en- couragement and opportu- nity in the office of every professor and administra- tor. But Are all seem to miss one common oppor- tunity — the chance to meet ne v boys in an every- day atmostphere. (After all, ho A can one be ex- pected to nneet someone new at Groucho ' s, Zack ' s, or any of the local night- spots Arhen darkness keeps you from seeing others clearly and the deafening music prevents even the loudest football player ' s voice from being heard. It seems that only the most daring of us chance this approach at meeting new guys. The nn o s t r e c o m nri e n d e d method is the blind date writh another couple whom you trust to pick out a likely candidate or one that you MOuld choose yourself. That %Aray, you know that if they ' d be seen w ith hinn, he can ' t be too bad. Bew are when the nnediator between the two of you becomes scarce when the time of Mr. Sup- rise ' s arrival approaches. What will you an A ser back to the girls on the bal- cony who call dowrn to you as you leave, You better ask if he ' s really from Cha- pel Hill. There ' s been an orangutan escape from the circus ? And A hen Mon and Dad come to visit us at Peace, we hope they ' ll ask about our friends, our food, or our studies. We hope they won ' t ask about our blind dates. Of course, if we find B guy vjo like, we ' ll let thenn know.

In Appreciation of Peace After life commonly means life after death, UBuelly a process of mov- ing from a very complex, unprotected life to a per- fected one of love and peace. Tw ist the concept to fit the perception of a Peace student, and after life is the parting from our haven of love, concern, and friendship and entering that impersonal university Mhere the individual is rerely recognized. The thought of life after Peace leaves many of us ill at ease and insecure. What Mill w e do without our fris- bee throwing, front bench, rap-session buddy, Mr. Thonnas? We can never forget Flo, Mary, and the rest of the ladies in the dining hall Mfho nevBr failed to see us well-fed and satisfied. And have you ever heard of a nurse at the infirmary of NCSU or UNC calling a student just to check on hini or her? Above all, how n any collage presi- dents have personal conversations with ev- eryday students like our own dear Dr. Frazier? Treasure the love, friendships, and parson- el concern of our special Peace College. For it is a frightening and strange w orld out there — in the Life after Peace.
