A Thousand Words
By Jock Lauterer
Around this time of year, if you were a UNC student back in 1963 wanting to drop a class and add another, you went to sweltering Woollen Gym, stood in a long line and spoke to an actual person, who made all the changes on paper. Two things jump out from this “Drop-Add†photo from my freshman year: the absence of computers and the presence of a smoking student. And I love the body language in this picture – the hapless/hopeful student vs. the unflappable veteran drop-add staffer.
