" Well, Carolina has the regular season
title locked up now comes the hard part.
Right, Dean Smith?
"Our game wim lsuke today is
certainly an important one, but we stress
every game on the schedule."
The Tar Heels have topped Duke each
of the last three years in Chapel Hill, but
haven't won in Durham in that time.
What does this portend?
"We know Duke will be fired up, since
it's their last home game and they have
four seniors finishing up their careers in
the Indoor Stadium.
"Well have to be fired up to win,
there's no doubt about that."
All right, looking ahead to next week's
Atlantic Coast Conference tournament,
what effect will today's game have? Can
the Tar Heels build momentum by
winning?
"I don't believe in momentum it's a
fabrication of sports writers.

Student Legislature (SL) Thursday
night passed a resolution supporting the
Student Health and Welfare Committee
(SHWC), which favors a
student-controlled infirmary.
"The idea behind the SHWC is to get
more student input into the planning and
decision-making for the new infirmary,"
said the resolution's author, Jim Geddie.
Geddie emphasized the infirmary is
completely supported by an annual $40
per student fee.
"We favor the creation of a permanent
board of directors for the infirmary
composed of two-thirds students and
one-third faculty," said Geddie, a
candidate for student body president.
SHWC also wants the infirmary to
broaden their services.
"Since the infirmary only sees each
student an average of once a year, it is
impossible to get a complete medical
picture of him," Geddie observed.
He urged students to make their views
on the issue known. "Students will have
to show that they are concerned before
the administration will act," he said.
Legislature also passed the bill to
allocate $2,150.46 to the Committee for
the Advancement of Minority and
Disadvantaged Students.

.iieallto
The money, which was raised from
faculty donations by the committee, will
be used to house disadvantaged students
on campus to give them an idea of what
college life is like.
Finance Committee Chairman Robert
Grady again complained that the program
"should be considered part of the
University's recruitment policy and paid
for by the University."
' Grady also announced Finance
Committee hearings would begin Monday
from 3-5 p.m.
"Any campus organization which has
already submitted a budget can sign up in
Suite C of Carolina Union for an
appointment," he related.
Organization spokesman should bring
a written statement of their reasons for
requesting the money.
In other action, the bill to authorize
class presidents to fill vacancies in their
executive committees and one to place a
ballot box in Craige were both sent to the
Rules Committee for consideration.
SL was forced to meet Thursday in the
Carolina Union because the body was
locked out of their chambers in New West
by the Dialectic and Philanthropic
Society (Di-Phi), which controls the lease.
Di-Phi President George Blackburn
said his organization refused SL
ii
admission to the chambers because it has
"serious doubts aobut the integrity of
Student Legislature." Specific charges
against SL will be presented by Di-Phi
March 16.
"In 1967 we beat Duke in Durham,
Jten won the tournament. In 196S and
69, we lost there, but still won the
tournament. So I don't think there's a
.connection.
Carolina, 20-4 for the year, sewed up
the ACC regular season championship by
beating N.C. State Wednesday night.
D&e, 17-7, hzs a third phce spot in the
standings at stake.
The Tar Heels have defeated Duke
twice this year, 83-81 and 79-74.
"Our biggest problem today is going to
be Duke's improved play?" says Smith.
"That and their rebounding, which with
the possible exception of South Carolina
is the strongest in the conference."
He's right, of course, about the Blue
Devils being improved. They've won 14
of their last 17.
Coach Bucky Waters has finally settled
on a stable lineup which includes center
Randy Denton, forwards Larry Saunders
and Richie O'Conner and guards Dick
DeVenzio and Rick Katherman.

upperchssman ranks among the top 40
scorers in Duke history.
Denton, best big mza ever to peifcrra
for the Devils, is sixth in scoring and third
in rebounding - in the aH-tinie Duke
records.
He currently leads the ACC in
rebounding with a 12.7 average and his
20.7 scoring norm is third best.
Saunders, the team's captain, has
scored 450 points in two years with the
Devils after transferring from
Northwestern. He's a consistently strong
rebounder.
Katherman, who at 6-7 has been a
forward most of his career, is a streaky,
sometimes awesome outside shooter who
can handle the ball commendably. This
task, however, is reserved for DeVenzio,
superb at rifling it inside to Denton.
O'Conner is one of a quartet of sophs
who play a lot for Waters. A 6-4
swingman whose 1 1.9 scoring average is
second on the team, O'Conner is an adept
driver.

This blend of experience and young

Smith will return to the custonury
starting lineup of Lee Dedmon Dennis
Wuydk, EIU Chrnbeilah, George Kirl
and Steve Previs after opening with his
five seniors against State.
The Tar Heels bounded away from the
Wolfpack with their finest half of the
year, as Smith described it, when they
pulverized State inside in the second
period.
Carolina's most recent win was its
13th in 14 outings and assured a fourth
regular season championship in five years.
This, from a team picked to finish as
low as seventh, has seemed almost easy at
times. Things could change temporarily
this afternoon, but Smith doubts any
detrimental effects on tournament
chances.

A bjll to make student body presidents
of public universities ex-officio voting
members of the university board of
trustees was introduced into the N.C.
State Senate Thursday.
State Senator LJP. McLendon Jr. from
Guilford County introduced the bill to
the body which killed an identical copy
of the legislation two years ago.
Consolidated University President
William C. Friday, UNC Chancellor J.
Carlyle Sitterson and Student Body
President Tom Bello were all unavailable
Friday to comment on the proposed
measure.
"This is basically the same as the
earlier bill," McClendon said. "But in the
last two years voting rights for young
people have been changed for federal
elections and may be for state and local
elections."
McLendon was joined by Senators
.Lev-
Gordon P. Allen and Ralph Scott in the u
bill's introduction.
. Should the legislation pass the Senate,
111V llUli.lLVl, J X I 1 U- O IWV) Cll U1V'
Consolidated University would be
increased from 100 to 106. 3
The ex-officio voting power proposed
in the bill would allow student body ;
presidents to vote on all matters coming :;i
before the trustees. "
"The trend is in this direction and has
already been put into effect at Duke and '
Wake Forest," McClendon added. "I hope
this bill is more timely this year than in
the past."
According to reports, McClendon has
approximately 15 co-signers of the bill
which is more than the total number of
favorable votes the same bill received in
1969. At that time, the proposal cleared
committee but attained only 10 votes on
the Senate floor.

The proposal for a change in foreign
language requirements for graduate
degrees was passed by an overwhelming
majority of the Faculty Council Friday.
Dan L. V. Jones presented the
proposal for graduate language changes.
Under the new proposal, each graduate
department will be able to establish its
own foreign language requirements.
The committee will consist of junior
classv officers, representatives of the
Residence College Federation, the
Committee of University Residence Life
! (CURL) and members of the University
J Office of Residence Life staff, Cansler
j: said.
The establishment of the committee
: j came after a two-hour meeting with Lee
Hood Capps, junior class president; Cecil
Miller, junior class vice president; and
Steve Saunders, a member of the CURL
committee and governor of Morehead
Residence College,
"After the discussion, Cansler said, "I
really don't see any way we can go at this
point.' He said the University should
retain the residence .policy as it now
stands, but it should liberalize the criteria
for exceptions.
Cansler said the recommendations of
the committee would be passed on the
Dean of Student Affairs CO. Cathey.
The committee, according to Cansler,
should be representative of residence
college life.. "Some of the suggestions that
Lee (Capps) made have merit," he said.
Reactions from Saunders, Miller and
Capps ranged from "frustrated" to
"optimistic" to "perplexed."

Essential reasons offered for the
change he said, although the knowledge
of foreign languages is an important part
of a broad, liberal education, this is basic
to an undergraduate program and not a
graduate program, and that foreign
language needs vary greatly from
discipline to discipline and even within a
, discipline.
In addition to doing away with the
present requirement of two foreign
: languages (or one foreign language and a
aters are trophy ric
substitute) in graduate scnool, the'new
proposal will no longer consider the
completion of foreign languages in
undergraduate school when looking at
applications for entrance into graduate
schooL
Another proposal passed was in favor
of an Liter-disciplinary A.B. degree. The
proposal was introduced by Mark
Applebaum, associate dean for
Experimental and Special Studies.
Students qualifying for entrance into
the program win be judged by their
interest and motivation.
A third proposal concerned the use of
the Southern Historical Collection as a
repository lor important University
documents.
Isaac opeland, chief of manuscripts
and director of the American Historical
Collection, pleaded to the groups for
adequate space to store the records and
working space for those who use the
records.

most significance for the pair, they: walked over to the
stairway to pose for more pictures.

A student strolled over and admired the array of gold.
Noting the situation concerning the pictures, he walked over '
to Loveland and McGuire who were holding the loving cup and
dropped a penny in it. As Loveland returned the trophy to the
table, he scooped out the penny and dropped it into his
pocket.
He turned to walk out of the Union, and when asked if he
was going to return the penny said, "Are you kidding? We
need every cent we can get."
Loveland was not kidding. Currently the UNC debate team
is faced with worrisome problems which have dogged its trail
all year where's the money coming from.
The debate team's already skimpy budget has been
threatened by upcoming budget hearings. In fact the team
would have been "seriously" hurting, according to Cully Clark,
debate coach, had the team not received a cash award from the
UNC alumni.
This money was granted by the Smirnoff vodka people
during the Duke-Carolina game festivities for the best
breakfast drink using vodka. The Carolina alumni concocted
the best potion and donated the $2,000 to the debaters.
Clark thinks "no program can operate on a national basis
with less than $6,00-7,000. Even at that level it requires
personal financial sacrifice on the part of the debaters."
In contrast to other college's debate allotments, the UNC
$4,000 budget looks meager. Emory University has $15,547
set aside for its 10-man team. The University of Georgia's
student legislature takes $14,000 from its student fees for the
program. The University of Alabama gives its debaters $8,500
and the use of Bear Bryant's airplane.
Other institutions, such as Harvard and UCLA, finance their
debaters from endowment funds.
With their money, the debaters have done the best they
could. Thirty-one teams attended 21 tournaments at an
average of $ 1 85 per trip.
University administrators have told the team that if Student
Legislature does not come across with the funds there will be
none available for next year. Referring to this Clark has said,
"If funding does not come from the Student Government or if
Student Government is unable to find an alternative source of
funding, then debate at Carolina is dead."
-This will result in extreme sacrifice' for the debate team.

With the team of Loveland and McGuire possessing an
excellent chance to capture the National Debate
Championship, it may happen that the defending champions
will not be able to retain or even defend their title.
Joe McGuire, as first vice president of DSR-TKA, the
Natioanl Debate society, stands to be the next president of the
club. If circumstances prevail, he will be forced to resign
because he cannot attend the national debate tournaments.
The Tarheel Invitational Debate Tournament, a recent
innovation by the UNC debaters, will have to be cancelled.
Debate coaches from several universities had indicated that
they would prefer to come to the Tarheel Tournament instead
of the MIT or Brandeis ones .and were making plans
accordingly.
On the agenda for Loveland and McGuire for the rest of the
year are the Heart of America Tournament at the University of .
Kansas, the National DSR-TKA at the University of Indiana
and the National Debate Tournament at Macalester College.
The over-shadowed, but potentially powerful, freshman
debaters have also been active. Some of the members are Kay
Kernodle, Brent McKnight, Harvey and Harold Kennedy,
Maurice Ayers and He wit Rose. At the Shaw Tournament at
Charlotte, Kernodle and McKnight won and combined with
Ayers and Rose at Wake Forest to take another. Both of these
wins were top freshmen tournaments.
Joe McGuire, speaking optimistically about future debate
prospects, said recently, "With the possibility of getting several
outstanding high school debaters to come here next year and
with most of the debaters returning next year, I think that the
debate program at Carolina will become very strong."
The debaters are often prisoners of the verbal punishment
they have created. In terms of researching and debate
practicing, the debaters spend 3 hours a day.
Travel time to tournaments piles up to the extent that
Cully Clark asserted he "would hate to add up the time
involved with that. He went on to say, "Debate is very, very
demanding, because of demands on time alone. It takes a very,
very bright student to compete successfully."
However, most of the debaters find the time to sacrifice
and to sacrifice willingly. It is the winning that counts to
them, and many agree with Joe Loveland that "debafe i the .
only opportunity to compete intellectually with Mhc:
universities on a continuing basis. .
