This was Coach Dean Smith's assessment of his team's thinking after 20 minutes of semi-final basketball before 15,170 in the Coliseum here Friday night. The Tar Heels ran into shooting miseries in the second half but eventually prevailed 7S-68. Because Smith was not. working on the same presumption as his players, however, he was slightly delayed in getting to a post-game press conference. "I don't plan ahead in this tournament," said Smith, "and we had to work out our overnight agenda." The coach went on to say that he has Gammec by Chris Cobbs Sports Editor GREENSBORO -It looked as though, for the second year in a row, South Carolina was stuck for a way to beat State. When John Roche threw up a shot that lodged on the rim with about two minutes to play in the first half, the Gamecock star was in the throes of a one for eleven cold sptll. And without his shooting, as Coach Frank McGuire insisted, USC is in trouble. The Gamecocks got untracked in the final half, however, and used their superior size and ability to whip the Wolfpack 69-56 in the second game of the semifinal rounds of the ACC tournament. not decided upon a definite strategy for tonight's tournament finals with South Carolina. ' "The players have done all I could ask so far," he said. "It would certainly be nice to have a fifth ACC championship, I need not add, however." Carolina, which has presented Smith with three ACC titles in the. last four seasons, advanced to a position for a try at another without having a sharp night offensively. "Our defense lias carried us both games so far," the coach remarked. "Our passing has been good, however, and I would like to see us really break loose offensively." The Tar Heels, after their impressive first half against Virginia, went six minutes without a field goal and finished the second period with a 32 per cent shooting percentage. The Cavaliers narrowed the difference to five points at 46-41 before Lee Dedmon, USC high scorer for the evening, hit a free throw. Bill Chamberlain then got another and with 13:15 remaining, he made a layup after a steal to give the Tar Heels their first two-pointer of the half. lWe were taking real good shots," said Smith, "but three times the ball went in and out." In went Dave Chad wick. "He's real sensitive as a shooter," said Smith. "If he makes his first one, look out." Chadwick did make his initial try on the inside, then two more in rapid order. This put Carolina back in command at 58-45 with ten minutes to go. But Virginia, not content with one comeback, waited a couple of minutes and began another drive that pulled them within five points at the 6:06 mark. Sophomore Barry Parkhill, whose n TTTTT T!

The Gamecocks are matched with Carolina in tonight's 8:30 finale, the winner receiving a berth in the Eastern Regionals. "It was never an easy game," said McGuire. "State played us very tough and really upset the pick-and-roll that Roche and Tom Owens work so well. ! "I had to get on Roche to make him quit shooting while he was missing. I told i him, 'You've won all those games for me with your shooting don't stop now.' " State probably wished he had. After ) the Pack achieved a 31-31 tie seven l minutes into the . second half, Roche, Tom Riker and Kevin Joyce put an end to State's dreams of an upset. Roche wound up with 19 points, Riker with 18 and Joyce with nine, including six in the last three minutes. Paul Coder was high for State with 20 while Bob Heuts tallied 12 and Al Heartley got 10. . "You know," said McGuire, "I've been saying in the last couple of weeks that Dean (Smith) should be on his way to the Regionals. Well, I'm going to make him prove it now. "To be honest with you," he joked, "I'd rather be playing a girls' team. But I'm very satisfied with the way we're playing and I'm expecting one of the finest finals in tournament history." 7 UNC's Dennis Wuycik taps the ball into the basket against Virginia Friday night in the semi-final round of the ACC Tournament.

Although he finished with a game hlh 26 points, he couldn't get the Cavs any closer than five and with the team's big men, BC1 Gerry and Scott McCandliih, dead on their feet by this point, Virginia could only stand and watch as USC went into the four-comers for the List five minutes of the game. The Cavaliers were in trouble all right. They got behind 6-0 in less than a minute and then had to contend with the Tar Heel full-court press. Carolina applied its pressure defense with varying intensity and effect. Twice the Tar Heels forced Virginia to turn over the ball on in-bounds play in the first haif-and the Tar Heels converted each of these opportunities into field goals. The press also served to make it difficult for the Cavaliers to get the ball inside to Gerry, where the muscular 6-7 forward is difficult to contain. He made only nine points against Dennis Wuycik's defense after getting 23 against Wake Forest. The Tar Heels got yet another bit of mileage out of the press, too. By forcing the Cavs to labor in bringing the ball upcourt, Carolina had in mind Coach Bill Gibson's depthless bench. "We did get weary," admitted Gibson, "but our turnovers killed us. We were in a hole from the start and mistakes really prevented us from ever getting even. "I can't say enough for our effort, though. I couldn't have asked for more." Dedmon totalled 19 points to pace UNC while Chadwick added . 13 and Karl and Chamberlain 1 2 each. Carolina, which never lost sight of tonight's 8:30 finale with USC, was very happy to have Virginia in its rear-view mirror.

Meeting as many students as possible seems to be the major goal of most of the hopefuls for the top executive post in Student Government. Joe Stallings said he has visited almost every dorm on campus and plans to return to several of the dorms between now and election day. "I'll be going back to the dorms to see the people I missed on my first time through," he said. Candidate Jim Flynt has visited most of the men's residence halls and hopes to visit the women's dorms and the remainder of the men's dorms over the weekend. "I'll be continuing to go door-to-door in the dormitories through Tuesday morning," Flynt said. Completing his pledge of going to all the dorms on campus is the goal for the remainder of the campaign of Jim Geddie. "I don't have any rallies planned," Geddie said. "If I did that, I wouldn't have time to finish going door-to-door. I said I would go through the dorms and I want to fulfill that pledge." Pete Tripodi held a rally in the pit Thursday at noon, an effort which he considers one of the most important of his campaign. He is concentrating the efforts of his try for the presidency on just .talking to as many students as possible. Several of the presidential candidates will participate in a debate Sunday night at 8 p.m. in Gerrard Hall. The debate is sponsored by the YM-YWCA and the Campus Issues organization. "My campaign is building," Tripodi said. "Individauls I have talked to are going out and talking to many other people," he added. o n n Candidate Richard Stoner plans no door-to-door campaigning but would like to have a rally. "If people see me on campus, they can ask me about my platform," Stoner said. "If I could get hold of a PA system and talk to people about my platform, it would be really great," he commented. Stoner said his platform is "free dope and fornicating in the streets." Over the weekend a variety of activities have been planned by the candidates. Flynt will release a platform late Sunday afternoon. "The platform will be 'our' platform -that is, the students I have talked to have had a great deal to do with it," he said. Stallings, will spend the majority of his time this weekend planning for the installation of a student co-op with the students who have worked with him on it. "Regardless of the outcome of the election, the groundwork for this effort needs to be completed as soon as possible," he said. Tripodi had no definite plans for the weedend except for continuing to talk to students. "Because I don't have the machinery or organization the other people have, my only problem is time," he commented. All of the candidates commented they have been well received in the various phases of their electioneering efforts, especially in their campaigning in the dormitories. "The campaign is going well," Geddie said. "I'm not sure I can really tell how well though, since I haven't taken any polls like the other candidates." Stallings felt very pleased about the progress of his campaign. "Going door-to-door has been really invigorating. The students have been willing to talk and willing to listen to someone with something positive to say," he added. Mim a in i ' I - , 1 V " Xs' . ; ' "I ncr"f I ! J n I - : j i. .

Legislature which would place the President of the Student Body on the University's Board of Trustees. (Staff photo by Cliff Kolovson) -ill edepeedeeft radno oiiere by Woody Doster Staff Writer A bill to free campus radio station WCAR from Publications Board control was introduced in Student ' Legislature (SL) Thursday night by Rep. Jim Stirewalt. "Since WCAR is now financially icueir OlpT!) (QMS Wall The second Chapel Hill Walk Against Hunger, scheduled for March 20, has received the support of UNC Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson. Sitterson joins Chapel Hill Mayor Howard Lee and superintendent of the city school system Wilmer Cody in supporting the fund-raising project. The statement issued by Sitterson read: "In our world of many paradoxes, surely there is none crueler than the presence of hunger among so many Americans in this rich and affluent society of ours. "I want to commend our students for p sponsoring and participating in the Walk Against Hunger on March 20. I appeal to all members of the University community to join in supporting fully this important and worthwhile undertaking.' "Providing the means to eliminare hunger wherever it may exist in the world is the indispensable first step toward a world society of peace and dignity." The Walk is sponsored locally by the YM-YWCA and nationally by the American Freedom from Hunger Foundation, a non-profit, non-governmental foundation initiated by President Kennedy to enlist individuals and businesses in the-fight against hunger. The Foundation assists walks, but local committees such as the YM-YWCA make all decisions concerning the Walk. "The support of the city officials on the one hand and that of Chancellor Sitterson on the other are extremely encouraging for two reasons." said Walk Organizer Scott Morgan. "First of all, it shows that our organization is clearly a major one. not just a flash in the pan. "Secondly, receiving support from both the community and the University is essential because the project of our nature- can not be isolated from the community," he pointed out. "I feel any project that ties the University and the community together is worthwhile almost tor those reasons alone, not to mention the other significant aspects of the Walk." Walk cards are still available at desks in the Carolina Union and at the Y. Persons wishing to join the walk should pick up cards and find sponsors who will agree to pay them a certain amount of money for each of the 25 miles they complete. A pre-Walk meeting for all walkers will be held on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Great Hall in the Carolina Union. This is a change in place from Carroll Hall printed on the Walk pamphlets. independent of Student Government, I feel they should be editorially free as well," Stirewalt said. He favors putting financial and policy control of the station under WCAR's Board of Directors. 'The Board is composed of two people from each residence college and one from each fraternity and sorority which subscribes to WCAR," Stirewalt said. Over the past two years, WCAR has been appropriated "about S8,000" from Student Government, he said. "If the station ever asks for money in the future, control of WCAR will revert to the Publications Board," explained Stirewalt. The bill was sent to the Finance Committee for consideration. 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 passed. "I believe more student input into the University's decision-making policy is necessary because of a lack of rapport between students and the Board," said Lee Hood Capps, who introduced the bill. 'The presidents of the student bodies should reflect the attitudes of the students better than a board member who has no day-to-day contact with the students," he continued. The procedure for graduate departments to obtain their funds from SL was finalized by a bill introduced by Finance Committee Chairman Robert Grady. "Each department should present the Finance Committee a budget we will approve or reject, with SL having a veto power," said Grady. "Finance Committee is not allocating money," Grady emphasized. "We are simply disbursing money already allocated by SL." He noted this procedure was being used because "there are too many departments for SL to pass on each one." A polling place was authorized for Craige, the only South Campus dormitory left without one under the new elections law. In other action, Student Legislature decided to vote their share of General Motors stock with the Project on Corporate Responsibility. The Jim Tatum Memorial Athletic award and UNC's delegation to the State Student legislature were also funded. k V
