Citizens of the Queen city made history and
missed it Saturday night.
Only 4,196 farns turned out to watch
Carolina past well-respected Crekhicn, 106-86.
It was the poorest Charlotte Coliseum
attendance in Coach Dean Smith's 1 0-yeir Tar
Heel tenure and the first time ever a UNC team
had topped 100 points in three consecutive
games.
Smith was mystified by all the empty seats
but was justifiably pleased with Carolina's
showing. f
Junior forwards Dennis Wuycik and Bill
Chamberlain combined for 64 points and 23
rebounds while another classmate, guard Steve
Previs, had nine assists and played cloying
defense.
Not since the Big Four tournament of their
freshman years had this trio of high school
All-Americans worked together so well. And
they had abundant help from center Lee
Dedmon and guard George Karl, a senior and a
sophomore, who scored 10 and 11 points
respectively.
Dedmon, who has frequently done well
against noted opposing centers, limited
aggressive Cyril Bipliste to 13 points 2nd one
rebound-another important factor in Carolina's
third win in three outings.
The 6-9 Bptiste. a higli-jumping junior from
Miami. Fla.. was averaging 26 points 2nd 13
rebounds before encountering Dedmon.
With Creighton behind 2S-19 with six
minutes remaining in ihe half, he enjoyed a brief
period of success, sinking a pair of free throws
and working free for two shots under the basket
to reduce Carolina's lead to five a couple of
minutes later.
But after blocking three consecutive Tar Heel
shots, he drew his third personal foul attempting
to defend against the driving Wuycik a minute
and a half before intermission. Wuycik then
converted a free throw for a three-point play
and added another before time expired to sent
the Tar Heels out to a nine-point advantage,
42-33, at the half.
Carolina broke the game open immediately
after the second period began. Chamberlain's
inside moves produced three field goals and
Wuycik and Previs added others to make it
54-38 with 1 7:20 left in the game.
Baptiste got his fourth personal seconds
later-and his fifth only four minutes afterward.
After he departed, the Bluejays battled lamely
to catch the Tar Heels. Creighton's other key
forward JvV Benrnun. wu-i no
effective and fmKheJ with nine pcir.H a VSC
streaked away to it final 2lpoht margin.
Creighton. sustaining its first loss m the
games, was out rebounded 42-31 ;:nd
outdistanced at the foul line. hea UNC picked
up 32 points to 12 for the isitore.
Both teams shot extremely well, the Btuejjys
canning 54.4 percent of their field goals, the Tar
Heels sinking an een better 57.8. Carolina
enjoyed its third half ocr 70 percent this season
with a 73.7 figure afer intermission.
Wuycik didn't miss much of anything as he
led the Tar Heels with 10 of 13 field goal tries
and 19 of 22 free throws. Chamberlain was rL:hl
behind with nine fielders and seven of seven at
the line in only 25 minutes of action.
Smith praised Carolina's rebounding, an area
in which the team must do well to win. he has
reiterated throughout the early season. He
added, it was certainly Chamberlain's finest
game and Previs played fantastic defense.
"We can't afford to overlook Virginia
Tuesday night, however. We have to keep our
spirit and mental alertness."
After the Tar Heels host always-tough
Virginia (the Cavaliers upset Duke last
weekend), they move into the Big Four
tournament in Greensboro next weekend.

The Orange County Grand Jury has
blasted the University for its handling of
the incidents which led to the death of
James L. Cates, Jr. on Nov. 21.
In a resolution sent to University
officials, the grand jury criticized the
University for allowing an all-night dance
to be held and for supplying inadequate
police protection at the dance.
When contacted for comment on the
resolution, Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson
would make no statement on the grand
jury's report. "I can't make any comment
on this resolution because we hadn't
received it as of Saturday," he said.
Saying it was 'Very disappointed"
with University officials for allowing the
. dance to be held, the grand jury charged
the University with some responsibility in
Cates' death.
"It is our opinion that allowing a
dance to take place from midnight to 7
a.m. is only asking for trouble, especially
when designed for young people. Since
this dance occurred on the campus of the
University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, the University must assume some of
the responsibility for this tragic
accident."
The report of the grand jury, which
was filed Wednesday in Hillsborough,
along with first-degree murder
indictments of three Storm Troopers,
went on to say" the number of police
present at the gathering was insufficient.
- "For such a large assembly at that
time of night, we believe the University
andor its officials should be held
responsible for not having more police
help actually in or near such an assembly
of young people," the resolution
continues.
The grand jury called on the
University to take appropriate action to
remedy the circumstances it saw as
contributing to Cates' death.
It called on the University to
re-examine its policies on entrance
requirements for and the security of large
gatherings.
Class decided Friday

Political Science 95A will continue its
examination of contemporary, relevant
issues next semester, and no one will be
"closed out" of the course, members of
the class decided Friday.
The class also decided undergraduates
will serve as teaching assistants for the
course and the guest speaker program will
continue. But the format of the course,
which will be called Political Science 42
next ' semester, was not determined at
Friday's meeting.

Americans think and live.

graduate coordinators, said he will now
enter into negotiations with the Political
Science Department to obtain approval
for the class's decisions.
"The overriding conclusion of the class
was that no one should be closed out,"
McGaughey said. 'They felt everyone
should have the opportunity to take a
course of this type."
But it was not decided what format
the course will take to enable any student
to take the course, he said. The students
offered three suggestions:
Division of the course into two or
three large sections similar to the one
held this semester in Memorial Hall;
Division of the course into one or
two large sections and into several small
discussion classes;
Division of the course into many
small discussion classes. .
When guest speakers appear before the
class, all sections will meet together,
McGaughey said, no matter what format
is adopted.
He said the class will meet sometime
next week to determine a format after he
has met with department heads, who
might place restrictions on the structure
of the course.
McGaughey said he felt certain the
proposal for undergraduate teaching
assistants, who would serve without pay,
will be approved by the Political Science
Department. "During this semester, we
found that some undergraduates are as
capable of leading discussions as faculty
and graduate students," he said.
The speaker program of the course has
attracted anti-war activists Rennie Davis
and Jane Fonda to the UNC campus this
fall. The students will decide next
semester which speakers they wish to
hear, McGaughey said.
McGaughey said he felt students
should have "the ultimate decision
concerning the course. We hope some
students have learned it is feasible for
them to control their own educations."
He said the main problem of 95A is
the large size of the class, which is
difficult to manage.
"We have also learned that some
students, when given total freedom, work
very hard," he said, "although others use
the course as a slide."
The grand jury emphasized its point
that the time at which the dance was lield
was one of the major factors in: the
tragedy and warned that such assemblies
should not be allowed on the campus
again.
"It is our opinion that if such
assemblies are allowed to continue, there
will be more tragic accidents, possibly
resulting in loss of life," the report
concludes. .-
In another development in the Cates'
murder case, the three, defendants
charged with first degree murder were
again denied bail in a special hearing
before Judge Harry Canaday.
The attorneys for Ronnie Broadwell,
Rufus Paul Nelson and William Johnson
asked for bond for their clients in order
that they could help in preparing their
defenses.
One of the defense attorneys, James
Maxwell, who is representing Johnson,
announced he is planning to petition a
special court session to hear the case,
rather than in the regular Superior Court
Session which begins in the middle of
January.
The defense attorneys called for a
series of character witnesses in the bail
hearing Thursday in the unsuccessful
attempt to have their clients freed until
the. trial begins. Several of the witnesses
testified to the non-violent nature and
good character of the defendants.
Cates was stabbed to death outside of
the Carolina Union on the Chapel Hill
campus early Saturday morning, Nov. 21,
in a . brawl involving several Storm
Troopers (a Durham motorcycle gang)
and a number of blacks.
Cates died from the loss of blood from ;
two stab wounds inflicted during the
altercation.
Some controversy has arisen over the
question of .he action of the campus
police in the incidents and over the length
of time it took the ambulance to reach
the scene. Cates was finally transported in
a police vehicle to the N.C. Memorial
Hospital, where he died shortly after 3
a.m.

Yackety Yack Editor Joe Mitchiner is
in favor of placing the yearbook on a
subscription basis, but he considers a
gradual decrease in financial support from
the Student Legislature (SL) better than a
sudden removal of funds.
The editor said Friday subscription
would be the "fairest way to put out a
book," but 'he added, "my main
objection is that I don't think SL should
cut us down to zero appropriation in one
year.
"It would be just like falling off a
cliff," Mitchiner said.
He said the yearbook would need a
"financial cushion since we would have
no confirmed way of knowing how much
to spend." Complications would occur,
-the editor explained, since publishing
companies would not know what they
were bidding for and that quality of the
yearbook would fluctuate, depending on
the sale of subscriptions.
Money appropriated from SL now
accounts for $52,540 of the total
operating budget of over $83,000.
Mitchiner said a belter plan would be
to reduce the appropraition to $35,000
next year and $25,000 the year after, in
order to move toward total dependance
on subscriptions and outside funds.
The reason people would subscribe is
that they would expect the same quality
book they received in the past, Mitchiner
said. Witothout a large budget, the editor
said, subscribers would be disappointed in
the quality of the photography, reduction
of color photos and fewer amount of
pages.
'We need enough money to satisfy the
people who do want a book," Mitchiner
said.
Mitchiner said he has not discussed
puting the yearbook on a subscription
basis with Student Body Treasurer GuiJ-,
Waddell, who made the" subscription
proposal to the Publications Board earlier
this week. After WaddelTs suggestion, a
three-member subcommittee headed by
Mike Almond was appointed to
investigate the value of the Yackety Yac'
and make recommendations to tr?r-
Publications Board concerning the future
of the yearbook.
Mitchiner said the yearbook plans to
make a formal presentation to the
subcommittee to discuss his ideas. He said
a move toward an independant Yack
might mean an additional allocation to
begin the changeover.

The ambulance service for Chapel Hill
and the southern portion of Orange
County may be upgraded by the
beginning of the new year.
The county's contract with the
Durham Ambulance Company to provide
service to the county expires on Dec. 31.
Of the several proposals which have
been made for the service, the contract
proposed by the Chapel Hill Funeral
Home to the County Board of
Commissioners seems most feasible and
workable, according to Chapel Hill
Alderman R.D. Smith.
Bynum Weaver, the owner of the
funeral home, has suggested that two
ambulances be kept in Chapel Hill at all
times. One ambulance would be used for
normal runs with one ambulance always
kept in reserve.
Currently the Chape! Hill area Ls served
bv one Durham Ambubnv Company
reserve service available out of Durham.
The northern portion of Orange County
is served by the Orange Rescue Squad.
The problem of reserve ambulance
service came to light in connection with
the stabbing de3th of James L. Cates on
Nov. 21. Reportedly, 45 minutes elapsed
between the stabbing and the arrival of
the Durham ambulance.
Alderman Smith reported to the
Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen that the
ambulance company log shows that the
Chapel Hill ambulance was on another
call at the time the police requested one.
The log further shows that the
ambulance from the Chapel HC1 Funeral
Home was dispatched after a call from
the Durham Company and the police, and
that it arrived on the scene 14 nmu!?3
after the first call.
Several other proposals were suestsd
at the Board of Aldermen's meetir.j,
including that of having the town itself
establish a municipal ambulance service
niHth a the police and fire departments
