GREENSBORO-Notbing that has
happened so far means anything.
The source of these words is not a
freak, an existentialist or a philosopher.
The source is none other than Dean
Smith.
Carolina's coach speaks candidly at
times. "The new season begins today," he
says.
Smith's Tar Heels take on Clemson at
1:30 pjn. in the first game of the
Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
At stake, of course, is a bid to the
Eastern Regionals, first step to the NCAA
championship.

Smith's "team without a chance "-the
Tar Heels were consigned to the lower
echelon of the conference by most
preseason guessers goes into the tourney
with the top seed.
Matched in the opening game of the
18th annual ACC spectacle are the club
with the league's best offensive mark and
the team with the top defensive figure.
Carolina carries an 86.7 scoring
average into the tournament while
Clemson has permitted opponents but
65.5 points a game.
The Tar Heels have not had trouble
with Clemson this year. In two meetings
Carolina prevailed 92-72 and 86-48.
UNC swept aside 1 1 league foes, losing
to but three in winning the regular season
ACC championship. The Tar Heels
compiled a 20-5 overall record and are
ranked among the nation's top 1 5 squads.
The Tar Heels whipped seventh-ranked
South Carolina by 15 and dropped a
six-point decision to the Gamecocks in
the course of the season. A third meeting,
in the tournament finals, is considered a
strong possibility.
The Gamecocks faltered in mid-season,
losing four conference games, but ended
the year at 20-4 and with All-America
guard John Roche going strong. They
play Maryland at 3:30.
Many figure the Gamecocks have the
momentum to triumph in the do-or-die
tournament, but Smith isn't among their
ranks.
"I don't think momentum has much
to do with it," he has said several times in
the last two weeks. He points to
conference history, marked by upsets,
like last year's tournament.
South Carolina had a 14-0 ACC record
but was nearly knocked off by Clemson
in the first round and was upset by N.C.
State m the finals. State hid lost four of
its last six conference games in 1970.
In any event, the victor in this
afternoon's opening match will meet
either Virginia or Wake Forest in the
second round Friday night.
One interesting note about today's
first 2 me -Clemson had the league's best
defense and its worst offense while
Carolina ranked seventh and first in those
departments.
Not a single league member finished
among the top four in all six categories of
team pby. Carolina was one of three
teams in the first division in five
departments.
The Tar Heels were the only team to
lead in more than one department. Ia
addition to leading in scoring they also
set the pace in field goal percentage 3nd
average victory margin over opponents.
Their field goal percentage stands at
S2S while their avenge scoring marpn is
11.7.

SL to act
on student
trustee bill
by Woody Doster
Staff Writer
Student Legislature (SL) will consider
tonight a resolution supporting a bill in
the N.C. Legislature to give the student
body presidents of each of the
Consolidated University campuses a vote
on the Board of Trustees.
"Thy presidents of Duke, Wake Forest
and Davidson already have voting
privileges on their boards of trustees,"
said the bill's author, Lee Hood Capps. "I
believe that this student input is
necessary."
Capps said the input is necessary
because of the "lack of rapport" between
students and the Board of Trustees.
"The presidents of the student bodies
should reflect the general attitudes of the
students better than a board member who
has no day-to-day contact with students,"
Capps said.
If the resolution passes, copies will be
sent to the chairman of the N.C.
Committee on Education, where the bill
now rests, to the state senators , who
introduced the bill, Gov. Robert Scott
and the chancellors and student body
presidents of each campus.
The SL Finance Committee is
Currently holding budget hearings.
"We are wrestling with the questions
of what basis should we use to decide
how much money each group gets and
whether we have to fund them," said
Finance Committee Chairman Robert
Grady Wednesday.
He noted the Adams Committee,
composed of students and faculty, last
year recommended that functions such as
the Debate Team and the Glee Club

Student Legislator Gerry Cohen has
raised questions on the amount of
Student Activities fees . which the
University has collected this year in a
Til f' f
recent letter to Chancellor J. Carlyle
Sitterson. University officials dispute
Cohen's figures.
Cohen quoted the official enrollment
figures of the University to total a figure
of $272,924.82 for the amount which
should have been collected rather than

...with a cheering send-off for Smith's Tar Heels
the approximately $256,000 the
University says it has collected.
A change in the amount of student
activities fees from $7.28 to $7.00 a
semester which the University charges
graduate students came to light in
discussions with University Budget
Officer Victor Bowles.
"The fee is $7.00 a semester now. The
University rounded that off beginning last
fall, I think," said Bowles. "It just didn't
make sense to mess with those odd
cents."
Student Activities Fund Office
Director Mrs. Frances Sparrow had not
been informed of this change in the fees.
This "rounding . off" reduced the
amount of student activities fees for the
year by approximately $2,365.
Joseph C. Eagles, vice chancellor of
business and finance was unavailable for
comment on the questions raised in the
Cohen letter, but had the matter referred
to Bowles.
Bowles said the computations done by
Cohen were correct in one sense, but
failed to take into account a number of
dynamic factors.
"If everything had stayed the same in
the University after the end of the
drop-add period, then his figures would
be correct," Bowles said. "But there are
other factors involved."
Bowles mentioned the normal rate of
attrition of students dropping out of
school, the number of staff and faculty
wives who are students but do not pay
student fees, and a previously unknown
and unexpected change in the graduate
school procedures as factors in the
lowered fees income.
Students who drop out of school are
refunded a certain portion of their tuition
and fees, Bowles said. Projections for the
amount of income for the entire
University, not just the student activities
.Rsl
fees, are based on expected enrollment
modified by the expected rate cf
attrition.
According to the budget officer, the
enrollment figures which Cohen used
were the number of students at their
highest point, which is always followed
by a decline caused by dropouts.
Bowles also said the Graduate School
unexpectedly changed the method of
counting the students who are in
residence for their theses. This change
caused an inflation of the "full-time,
equivalent students' figure which Cohen
quoted, Bowles said.
This change involved approximately
300 students and, -thus, somewhat over
. $4,000 per year in fees.
Bowles also pointed out that UNC
staff, faculty and staff wives, and faculty
and their wives from surrounding
Universities can enroll here as students
without paying student fees.
The number of persons registered as
students who fall into this category vary
from semester to semester, according to
University Cashier Marvin Woodard.
Approximately 125 students were in1
this category in the fall and did not pay
student activities fees. Woodard reported
that some 75 students have been
exempted from paying the fees thus far
this spring with another 25 expected to
apply for the exemption before the fees
are paid in full.
The dispute over the amount of
student activities fees arose late in
February when Student Body Treasurer
Guil Wad dell was informed that the total
income for Student Government (SG
from the fees would be $256,000 instead
of the $265,000-270,000 which was
projected last spring and reaffirmed in fhe
fall.

majority oft cadets oppose ii mloi resolinitiioini
by Bob Chapman
Staff Writer
(Editor's note: Wiis article is the second in a series
con canting a recent poll of Ncn'al ROTC members
on three major issues-Vietnam, drugs and the
ROTC program. )
More than half of the midshipmen at the UNC
Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC)
unit oppose the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which
empowered the President to send military
assistance to Vietnam, according to a survey
conducted within the unit.
The poll represented the opinions of 197 of the
250-plus midshipmen. No names were required in
order to insure truthful comments.
One point the survey showed, especially
concerning Vietnam, was the tendency for the
midshipmen to become more liberal as they
progress from freshman to a senior.
In the freshman class, for example, 77.6
percent favor the President's program of phased
withdrawal and Vietnamization. Other class figures
show: sophomore, 72.2 percent; junior, 54.8
percent; and senior, 63.9 percent. The unit average
is 68 percent in favor of Nixon's policy.
About two-thirds of the students said they
consider U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia as the
most urgent foreign commitment. Although 36.5
percent said they opposed the Gulf of Tonkin
Resolution, 53.3 percent said they opposed the
principle of the resolution.
Almost 30 percent feel Americans should
withdraw immediately from Vietnam. The junior
class had the highest percentage of support for
withdrawal with 45.2 percent.
Most of the midshipmen, 65 percent, oppose a
resumption of the bombing of North Vietnam.
Another 28.4 per cent said they favor the
bombings, while 6.6 percent expressed no opinion.
"Do you think the President is doing all in his
power, under the circumstances, for the quickest
possible withdrawal,'
half said no.
the poll asked. More than
While 45.6 percent said the President is trying
to get out as quickly as possible, 51.8 percent
disagreed. About half of the freshmen and
sophomores said Nixon is getting out as quickly as
possible, less than a third of the juniors (32.3
percent) and only 44.4 percent of the seniors said
they thought withdrawal was going fast enough.
A big majority of the future naval officers
approved of the excursion into North Vietnam to
free American prisoners of war, but more than half
said it would hinder the Paris peace negotiations.
Most, 68 percent, favored continuing the talks,
while 27.9 percent voted for scrapping them.
The question concerning the reason for
America's involvement in Vietnam brought a
variety of responses. The largest group, 36 percent,
thought the reason is to establish a sphere of
influence in the midst of Soviet and Chinese
Communist influence and thereby maintain a
balance of power.
The second largest group, 31 .5 percent, said the
U.S. is primarily in Vietnam to fight Communist
aggression and to allow the South Vietnamese to
protect democratic government.
Other opinions included: honor our SEATO
tres.ty commitment, 11.7 percent; preserve
American economic interests in Southeast Asia,
9.6 percent; commit acts of "imperial aggression,"
3 percent; and no opinion, 8.1 percent.
A majority of the midshipmen, 56.9 percent,
said they approved of the Cambodian excursion in
May, 1970. Most of the support of the excursion
came from freshmen, 67.2 percent; and from the
sophomores, 72.2 percent.
In contrast, only 38.7 percent of the juniors
supported the Cambodian invasion, and only 48.6
of the seniors said they approved.
Even so, 62.9 percent said it hindered
negotiations, but 53.3 percent said it helped
withdrawal.
As students, the midshipmen seemed to support
the free speech of other students. A total of 69.5
percent said National Guardsmen at Kent State
were not justified for firing on students. Another
19.3 percent said they were justified, possibly in
self-defense, and 11.2 percent expressed no
opinion.
Campuses should remain cool regarding
protesting of continued American presence in
Southeast Asia, according to 71.1 percent of the
middies. While 1 6.2 percent said campuses should
turn on the heat, 1 2.7 expressed no opinion.
Even before the recent trial and publicity
concerning Lt. William Calley's trial over the
alleged My Lai killings, 59.9 percent said they felt
the officer's actions were unjustified. Only 17.8
percent defended his decision and 22.3 percent
expressed no opinion. (The next article in the
series concerns the opinion of ROTC students on
drugs.)
