leader.
You probably were part of one once, the first time
you came to campus to see if you really wanted to
spend four (or more) years here.
How would you like to lead one? The Office of
Undergraduate Admissions is recruiting interested students
for a new campus organization, the Carolina
Tour Guide Association, to introduce prospective students
and their parents to campus.
"We want student volunteers who are enthusiastic,
who care about Carolina ? who have had a good experience
here and want to share it," said Kim Adams,
admissions graduate assistant
"We want to use students from the Carolina community
because they know what it's like out there.
They know about the majors and the organizations,
what Carolina life is like," she said.
Adams said admissions offers hour-long walking
tours twice daily during the week and once on Saturdays.
Presently, the tours are led by admissions
counselors and some work-study students at the admissions
office. The group is being formed so all
tours will be led by students.
"Giving the tours is fun," Adams, a master's candidate
in education, said. "It's neat to walk around campus
with the students and their families-. We want
prospective students to have a good image of the university,
and the Carolina students have first-hand
experience."
The CTGA will be formed by the end of the semester,
Adams said, and its volunteers will begin leading

"We will tell them where to go first and what
to say about it, but each guide adds his or her own
experiences and ad-libs a little," Adams said.
Rebecca Eisner, a psychology senior who works at
admissions and leads campus tours, said she accompanied
two tours before she led one on her own.
"There's a pamphlet of different things to point out,"
she said.
"It's fun to lead ? the parents ask about the university,
the majors offered and statistics, and the kids
ask about the social life, the greek system and things
like that," Eisner said. "It's good because I can answer
questions about work-study, since this is a workstudy
position I have, and about financial aid."
The recruitment effort is going well so far, Adams
said. Applications can be picked up at Student Life or
the admissions office.
Adams said the tours are in demand. "Especially in
the spring, the tours are just crammed full of people.
They always bring their families with them. There are
people calling all the time who want tours.
