Why did State Senator Teena Little
vote for the budget bill which:
• Slashed UNC’s Budget
• Had little money in it to clean up our rivers
• Cut the UNC Hospital Budget
• Had no health insurance money for grad students I
Her priorities seem to lie elsewhere...
She receives major campaign contributions from:
• The anti-environmental PACs-who want to rollback environmental
protection, continue to pollute our air and water and build more loop
roads. ($2725 and growing*)
• Banks who want to help preserve their 54 million dollar tax loophole.
That’s money that could go a long way to helping clean up our rivers
and meet other important state needs. ($6675 and growing*)
• The Utility PACs that want to build the largest nuclear waste dump in
the country right here in the Triangle.. Just a few miles away from
UNC. (S4IOO and growing*)
Is it any wonder Senator Little voted against
Campaign Finance Reform?

Seminole defense destroys Jackets
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA No. 3 Florida State’s
defense put on another stifling display
Saturday night, keeping Georgia Tech
out of die end zone and scoring twice
itself on Lamont Green’s 56-yard inter
ception return and Peter Boulware’s
blocked punt in a 49-3 rout.
The Seminoles (7-0,6-0), long known
for their offensive prowess, have been
winning games this season on the other
side of the line. It was the third time they
have held an opponent without a touch
down.
Georgia Tech (5-3, 4-3 in the ACC)
was hoping for a nationally-televised
upset to lock up its first bowl bid since
1991.
Florida State came out struggling on
offense and actually trailed 3-0 at the end
of the first quarter. But the FSU defense
finally decided enough was enough, ig
niting a 28-point second quarter with
touchdowns by Green, a reserve line
backer, and strong safety Shevin Smith.
On the first play from scrimmage,
Florida State quarterback Thad Busby’s
pass was intercepted by Brian Wilkins at
the Seminoles 34. But Tech could man
age only one first down and had to settle
for a 35-yard field goal by Brad Cham
bers for a 3-0 lead less than three minutes
into the game.
It was the first time that an opponent
has scored first against the Seminoles,
and only the second time Florida State
has trailed all year.
Florida State was forced to punt on its
next three possessions, but Tech couldn’t
add to its lead.

Falcons notch Ist win as Panthers’ road woes continue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA—Cornelius Bennett col
lapsed face down on the turf, his hands
patting the ground in childlike joy.
The Atlanta Falcons had won a game.
Finally.
“It’s been a long time coming,” said
Bennett, who signed with the Falcons
during the offseason and never imagined
it would take until Sunday to experience
his first victory, 20-17 over the Panthers.
“You don’t know the joy I have inside
of me right now,” Bennett said. “It’s just
an unbelievable feeling, knowing that all
the hard work we’ve put in is finally
paying off."

liers erupted in the second quarter and
posted a 27-3 victory. Yet, Welsh was
ready to go home.
“I’m glad it’s over. I don’t have to
come back here until ’98," Welsh said.
“I think this is a tough place to play,
unless they’re winning, and then they
have crowds,” he said. “If they’re not
winning, they don’thave any crowds and
it’s dull. It’s a tough place to play. You
have to generate your own excitement. ”
Duke drew an announced crowd of
28,276, but Virginia helped send many of
them home early.
Barber, who got 97 yards in the first
half, helped the Cavaliers (6-2,4-2) beat
the Blue Devils for the seventh time in the
last eight meetings. Duke (0-8, 0-5)
avoided its first shutout in three seasons
on Sims Lenhardt’s 26-yard field goal
with 1:04 to play.

CLEMSON, S.C. lt wasn’t a shut
out, but Clemson’s 35-3 romp over Mary
land on Saturday was another sweet
moment in a season that has turned from
turbulence to triumph.
With their fourth victory in five games,
the Tigers (5-3,4-2) are in the thick of the
bowl chase and bearing down on another
late-season revival.
“Our backs are still against the wall,”
Clemson coach Tommy West said, “but
Atlanta, the last winless team in the
NFL, lost its first eight games. But Jamal
Anderson rushed for a career-high 109
yards, and the maligned Atlanta defense

Collins went out with an injured knee
early in the third quarter.
The Panthers routed Atlanta 29-6 in
the season opener to begin the Falcons’
slide and mark Carolina as a possible
playoff contender. The Panthers (54),
however, have lost four of their last six
games all on the road.
“Hey, you only get eight home games,"
linebacker Sam Mills said. “You have to

Against Maryland (4-5, 24), the Ti

defense and the resiliency to overcome
the loss of leading receiver Tony Home.
Clemson got two 1-yard touchdown
runs from Emory Smith, eight sacks and
many big defensive plays, and some poor
execution by Maryland.
“We just know how to pick up and
stay focused, ” comerback Peter Ford said.
“We started playing the way we should’ve

Even playing the NFL’s worst team
did not cure Carolina’s woes away from
Ericsson Stadium. The Panthers seemed
to fall apart after Collins went out early in
the third quarter, the victim of a late hit
by Chuck Smith.
Collins, who completed 14 of 21 for
221 yards, remained on the turf for sev
eral minutes before hobbling off. He re
strained the same left knee ligament that
caused him to miss one game and parts of
two others earlier in the season.
Collins accused Smith of “trying to

it. It was cheap, cheap, cheap."
