IIP,. by Chris Cobbs Sptjrts Editor Carolina scortd a monumental upset over 2nd-ranked South Carolina Monday night-and made it look surprisingly easy. After giving up much of a I6-point Hrst half lead, the Tar Heels regained their stride to deal USC a 79-64 defeat. The Gamecocks, unbeaten in nine games, closed within four points with four minutes remaining, but wilted down the stretch. Clutch foul shooting by Kim Huband and Lee Dedmon and a couple of driving baskets by George Karl preserved Carolina's ninth win in 1 1 games. The visitors, regarded by no less an authority than Tar Heel Coach Dean Smith as possibly the finest team to ever compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference, hurt themselves severely with late fouls. Huband scored pressure points on a pair of technical fouls and dropped in two more on a one-and-one opportunity. Vol. 78 No. 76 Scott appoints committee rri cjCLnncMiioe RALEIGH Gov. Robert Scott will create a special committee to formulate a "position statement" on his proposed reorganization of the state's higher education system. Scott's announcement came in a prepared statement read to 17 university presidents and chancellors who met here Monday as an advisory committee to the State Board of Higher Education. "proposal, and East Carohlia"Unrversity" President Leo Jenkins, quoted last week as being opposed to Scott's call for re-organization, said he did not oppose "the whole idea of studying the reorganization of higher education." Scott's statement, read to the group by Y.J. Lucas, vice-chairman of the Board of Higher education, urged the presidents and chancellors to "work directly with your individual boards of trustees" in forming a plan for reorganizing higher education. The administration of Western Carolina University, in separate action, issued their own plan for reorganizing higher education. .

Re-adjusting to the daily grind was bad enough for most without having to contend with such adverse conditions and their ever-present by-products: tons of soft, gooey mud and strategically-placed puddles awaiting thefcareless foot. One University employe, however, was determined to ignore the depressing situation. Gail Magnuson, a pert blonde, donned a striking green and yellow rain coat and drove to campus in her small foreign car. Parking in the ISC lot, she was halfway to her office when she remembered her keys were still in the switch. Returning to the car, she found both UNC News Bureau A report from the American Council on Education (ACE) shows that 12 programs in UNCs graduate school are rated "distinguished and strong" while another 12 are rated "good." The XCE studied the quality of graduate faculty and the effectiveness of graduate programs in 130 major U.S. universities. UNC leads all other universities in the southeast in the number of programs rated distinguished, strong, or good.

And Kail, who led UNC with 17 points and limited AU-American John Roche to 14, put the game out of reach with two Layups in the last two minutes, nullifying USCs pair of field goals in that span. Carolina's Smith was exuberant. "It's obviously one of the great wins in my career, he said, "We were afraid at halftime that they would be able to cone back and we decided to attack and not sit on our lead. ' The Tar Heel coach was surprised at how well his team faxed in rebounding against the taller Gamecocks. UNC controlled the boards 45-40, with Bill Chamberlain claiming a dozen. "We didn't expect to stay on the boards with them, according to Smith. "That we did was obviously one of the big things that won it for us.

Scott said, "It is the clear responsibility of the membership of the several boards charged in some part by either constitution or statute for planning, coordinating, managing or governing to give leadership for improvement of our system of public universities.". Scott's Initial call for reorganization of the state's higher education system came Dec. 13 when he met with a group of Consolidated University trustees and trustees of the state's nine regional universities and the School of the Arts. The Executive Committee of the UNC Trustees met with Scott last week on the N.C. State University campus and endorsed the idea of reorganizing the system. At that meeting Scott, acting as Chairman of the Board of Trustees, named a seven-man subcommittee to look into the possibility of reorganization. Scott's statement Monday said the original proposal was for the creation of a new agency which would include the best points of the Board of Higher Education, ' doors locked. Gail consulted two male students passing by, who were happy to come to the aid of a lady in distress. Their efforts to force the door of a parked automobile aroused the curiosity of Officer Simms, campus policeman. Simms was soon engaged in the struggle to open the door. In the early morning fog, the scene seemed to recreate the legend of Sir Arthur and Excaliber, the sword frozen in stone. First one and then the other knight tried to pry loose the prize. So it was in the parking lot, with the three shaking the car to extract the key. The tale of yore was finally shattered, along with a vent window in the car. Simms, a realist at heart, supervised the breaking-and-entering. As the three gallants left the scene, Miss Magnuson swept pebbles of safety glass from her car seat.

As Roche went 17 points without a point against a variety of UNC defenses, the Tar Heels fashioned a 40-26 lead at intermission. Carolina ran a version of the shuffle offense that spread the USC defense across the floor and enabled the smaller, but quicker Tar Heels to maneuver for easy shots. The Gamecocks adjusted their defense accordingly at the half and outpointed Carolina 15-5 early in the second half. x i " m Tuesday, January 5, 1971 the Executive Committee of the UNC Board of Trustees and the boards of the regional universities.

Eley, a native of Nashville, N.C. scored two TDs in the second half and looked like a future pro prospect-he has two more college years to go. Eley was described by Doolcy as "the best running back we faced all year." Carolina Ail-American Don McCauley slogged through the muck for 143 yards on 36 carries and three touchdowns. ASU Coach Frank Kush returned Dooley's compliment: "We were prepared for McCauley, we thought, but it turned out he's much better than we expected." A fumble, two roughing-the-kicker penalties and a disappointing punting game hampered Carolina's effort. McCauley and Chris Lee punted ten times for a 27-yard average; the only good UNC punt was a 43-yarder by Lee in the third quarter which was returned 41 yards by Steve Holden. ASU quarterback Joe Spagnola drove the Devils 78 yards for a touchdown in the game's first nine plays. After he hit J.D. Hill and Joe Petty with key passes, Spagnola let fullback Bob Thomas score the first of his three touchdowns, this one from eight yards. Bill Brafford recovered a fumble on ASU's next series, but the Tar Heels were stopped and the teams exchanged punts until the action-packed second quarter. After McCauley's punt rolled dead on the Devil 26, Arizona State drove to the UNC 33 where . Thomas broke off-tackle, slipped away from linebacker John , Bunting and went all the way for 14-0. Carolina matched the Sun Devil touchdown and warmed up the chilly crowd (temperatures hovered in the 30s) after Paul Miller hit Ricky Lanier with a 46-yarder to put McCauley in business on the ASU 23.

Also, the program in geology at Chapel Hill was judged to have improved substantially since 1964 in the quality of graduate education. Is
