Students Along W By TOM PREWETf Featurv Writer In a world of rapidly changing tastes, fads and styles, the guitar has held its own as a musical in strument. The guitar, a six-stringed in strument of the lute variety, was introduced to Spain by the Moors. Ever since, its popularity as an instrument of accompaniment for singing has spread all over the world. The popularity of the guitar, instead of declining, has, in recent times, definitely increased. The current long-lived folk singing fad has prompted many a youth to save his money and purchase a guitar in order to try his hand at folk singing. Each spring a rash of young .ruitar enthusiasts breaks out at Carolina. As the first blossoms of ipring pop out of the ground, the mellow strains of familiar folk songs literally pour through the )pen windows of every dormitory on campus. The standard musical nstrument that we hear backing .hese singers is the guitar. An annual phenomenon on every -ollege campus upon the arrival of spring, is the hootenanny.

Carolina students who have an inclination toward music might find a worse use for their money than investing it on a guitar. These instruments may be found at a wide range of prices from around $12 up to the three or four digit price range. (The average college student will usually lean toward the $12 variety so don't feel confounded if you have to settle for one with "Made in Japan" stamped on it.) Once the guitar is purchased, the problem of learning to play it arises. This is, however, a smal' problem. There is a large variety of "Teach Yourself"-type books of guitar instructions on the market. The guitar, an instrument whicl has entertained kings and queens for centuries with its soft music will continue to bring enjoynieni and relaxation to music lovers o' every rank and station in life al' over the world . . . from the red wood forests to the Gulfstrean: waters, even.

According to Kenneth Friedman, Vomn11.1ity service chairman of the fraternity, the boys sent out nuinerous letters to local charities and requested information about their respective campaigns and proj(ects. From these replies, nine chari ties were chosen. The fraternity then offered its assistance to these organizations, volunteering to aid them in their proicets in any way possible. At the beginning of the school year, the boys began their volun teer activities by working through the United Fund. They canvassed local Stores collecting donations to the M ultiple Sclerosis Seciety. Several of the Phi Epsilon mern bers also chaperoned a party at a local shopping center with the proceeds going to the Multiple Sclerosis Fund. While help:ng the Cerebral Palsy fund, a film on vocational rehahili tation was shown at one of the fraternity Ineetings accompanied by a tall: hy one of the local WADE HAMPTON HOTEL BARBER SHOP Operated By CARL "RIP" EVANS (Formerly At Cornell Arms Barber Shop) jor ~ion! or star 88 really cut s it, come ex st it out on act Ison first. >y can put down 315 horses, c here.

In keeping with the Christmas spirit, the fraternity assisted the Mental Health Associption by de livering presents collected for the State Hospital. The boys trans- I ported the gifts to the State Ilos pital for distribution to the pa tients on Christmas. As a project, the fraternity made a replica of a future mental health development, giving expla nations and details of the func tions of each building. The replica was exhibited at the recent Mental Health State Meet ing in February. It was also shown at the governor's conference and is scheduled to be shown at various meetings throughout the state. Also during Christmas the fra ternity assisted with the Christmas Seal campaign. The boys helped send out letters and perform some f the routine office work.

For recreational exercise, some of the niembers plan to take several boys bowling. The fraternity is also working on a project in cooperation with the University.
