Givens directs 'Cats, Hall
to the title they had to win
It was the second year in a row that the
entire state of North Carolina went looney
over a silly game being played in a town
many hours away by a few local boys and a
lot of folks from out of state.
On a warm spring night about this time
last March nearly the entire populace of
Chapel Hill, its belly swollen with beer and
its soul swathed in sadness, converged on
Franklin Street to celebrate what might have
been. The Tar Heels had dropped a 67-59
decision to Marquette in the NCAA
basketball finals.
And again Monday night, the eyes of the
state were drawn to the television for a
couple of hours. Only this time, as Carolina
fans know all too well, the Tar Heels weren't
the star attraction.
The Duke Blue Devils were the center of
attention.
The Dookies hoped their team would fare
well enough in its NCAA finals clash in St.
Louis against Kentucky so that they could
stage a real celebration late Monday night.
The people at Duke needed a good
celebration. They were out of practice. After
all, it had been 1964 since their vaunted
basketball team had been to the NCAA
Final Four.
And they weren't expected to be there this
year either, what with a starting lineup of a
junior, two sophomores and two freshmen.
Maybe next season. But not this year.
. Kentucky was expected to be there.
Lexington hadn't had a good celebration yet
this y8ar. Only a national title would bring
Wildcat diehards into the streets. Some
people were saying that Kentucky coach Joe
Hall would be fired if he didn't win.
Jack Givens knew that very well.
He destroyed the Blue Devils. He
massacred them. Everything he threw up
went in. He scored 41 points, coming within
four of breaking the record for most points
in the NCAA championship game.
Oh yes. Kentucky won. 94-88. The
Wildcats and their four seniors Givens,
Rick Robey, Mike Phillips and James Lee -won
the national title that they were
supposed to win.
They celebrated in Lexington.
They thought about next season in
Durham.

The N.C. Utilities Commission approved a $28.6 million
rate hike increase for Southern Bell Telephone Co. Friday,
rejecting the company's plea lor a $65 million increase.
Reconnecting phones, including those in University dorms.
Will cost $21, up from $15.50. Installation fees will jump from
$25.50 to approximately
Southern Bell officials are to meet with their lawyers today
to receive a copy of the commission's order. Ronald Stanley,
the company's district manager in Raleigh, said Monday.
The company can accept the commission's decision, ask the
commission to reconsider its action or appeal to the N.C.
Court of Appeals.
"We asked for the rate increase because the cost of business
was much greater than what we were getting." said Mike
Carson, Chapel Hill district manager for Southern Bell.
When customers have their phones reconnected, they pay
for more than just the actual hook-up, Carson said.
"There are a number o! personnel involved in processing the
applications from individuals." he said. "Different people
handle the directory listing, billings, mailing and making
certain what line is serving what house."
The commission order also will allow Southern Bell to
increase its monthly service charges by 10 cents. A 60-cent
increase had been proposed by the company.
Southern Bell had asked the commissioners to approve a 25
percent discount on direct-dial long distance calls in North
Carolina from 8 -9 a.m. and from noon-1 p.m.
The commission will permit the discount from noon-1 p.m.
on weekdays, making North Carolina the only stat with such
an operation.
Donald Hooper, the commission's chief accounting
adviser, said Monday that Southern Bell is experiencing
about a 9 percent annual growth in customer usage.
To decide how large an increase to grant the company, the
commission had to determine the difference between the
amount of money Southern Bell would lose from customers
w ho reduce usage due to an increase and the amount of new
revenue which would be gained, the accountant said.
A Southern Bell witness told a commission hearing earlier
this year the company would get only a 7. 1 percent increase in
revenues for each 10 percent rate increase.
As a result of the commission order, $22 million will be'
generated for Southern Bell from the increase in longdistance
charges and $6.8 million from the local service rate hike.
Part of the increase applies to 23 independent telephone
companies in the state. Hooper said.
Spring practice opens Tar Heel gridiron season
By PETE MITCHELL
Assistant Sports Editor
Lost amid his assistants' light blue windbreakers with
helmet slapping and occasional grunting and groaning
going on in the background was Dick Crum. directing
traffic during the intrasquad scrimmage like Patton with
his tanks.
There have been nicer Kenan Stadium Saturdays. It
was cold, windy and rainy and all that splattering in the
mud seemed a bit unnecessary when football season is six
months away. But this was a rather special spring
scrimmage; a new head coach means new chances,
changing philosophies and different first impressions.
Crum strolled along the visitors' sidelines, the same one
he'd paced in 1976 when the Tar Heels defeated his Miami
of Ohio team on the famous "shoestring play."
"All right, I want One-Offense and Two-Defense," he
snapped, holding his fingers out above his head.
Players, either in white or blue jerseys, trotted on and
off through the mud puddles. Matt Kupec's yellow jersey
denoted his quarterback position. There was a unison
clap at the end of the huddle and Carolina's No. 1 offense
aligned itself.
Kupec took the snap, faked a handoff up the middle to
Ken Mack and sprinted along the line of scrimmage. A
linebacker was closing in quick so Kupec pitched the ball
back one-handed and end-over-end, leading the streaking
"FamouSrAmos Lawrence perfectly. The speedy halfback
turned the corner and slithered up the sideline for 1 0 yards
before being run out of bounds.
The rumors are true. Lawrence is no longer a tailback;
he's a halfback. The Tar Heels are working on the triple
option veer offense for next season after years and years
of Bill Dooley's I-formation.
And according to Crum, his players are catching on
quickly.
"This is practice number 10, halfway done with the
spring," Crum said. "Our offense is doing things very well;
there's' just some nit-picking mistakes we've got to work
out. We'll work on the veer all spring and then make a
decision."
The veer offense opens things up for Lawrence. v ho set
records running out of it in high school and gained over
1,200 sjrdi last season troni the 'I.'
"There's so niahV things vou mil do iut ol the veer,"
Lawrence said. "It's not gonna be like bustin' up the hole
behind Billy Johnson every play. Both backs block. You
need a big guy beside you in the T but you need to explode
in the veer."
The offense calls for two halfbacks and no fullback in
the backfield. The emphasis is placed on quick-opening
plays and speed to the outside with more options to pass
for the quarterback. Crum said his team would put the
ball up around 20 times a game in his first year as UNC
head coach. The Tar Heels averaged 1 5 passes a game last
year.
"1 think it's a good formation." Kupec, Crum's No. I
quarterback, said. "More people in the skill positions
(wide receivers and backs) have a chance to get the ball. It
opens it up for more passing, especially to backs."
Lawrence did not catch a single pass his freshman
season in the I-formation. Mack, w ho didn't catch a pass
either and only carried the ball once all year, found
himself in a three-point stance at left halfback, right
beside Lawrence with the first string.
"I can't tell you how it happened. I'm as surprised as
anyone." said the 195-pound junior who captained the
specialty teams, last year. "Coach Crum proved to
everyone he was going to be fair and give everyone a shot.
It was a chance for me to show I can do a little running."
Apparently, the transition from Dooley to Crum was
not too difficult for the players, who will stage their
annual Blue-White game April 8.
"Their philosophies are different, but we've adjusted
easily," Mack said. "The veer is an about face from couch
Dooley, but the team unity is still there. Sometimes, when
a new coach comes in, there's a lot of bitching and
complaining, but it seems like everyone is working hard
for their coaches."
Crum has been impressed with his defense's quickness
and feels the gaps left by the graduation of Dee Hardison
and Rod Broadway on the line, Bobby Gay at linebacker
and Allan Caldwell in the secondary, can be filled.
Tackles Bunn Rhames and Donncll Thompson have had
good springs along with defensive end Ken Sheets and
noseguard Dave Simmons. Mickey Daniels, a left-handed
quarterback who transferred from Tennessee, has
impressed Crum and has joined in the fight for No. I
quarterback.
"We've been really stressing fundamentals." Cium
explained. "I'm impressed with the plaUTs. thev've got

good rapport. It was kind of hectic today because it was so
messy."
Back out in the gloom, quarterback Clyde Christensen
took the snap, rolled to his left and noticed Wav ne I ucker
kicking up mud clots way down tield. The ball spiraled
through the rain, but Tucker had looked over the wrong
shoulder. As he struggled to right himself, it fell through
his hands and bounced into the end one.

More negotiations possible
with HEW on racial plans
B HOWARD TKOX1.EK
Staff Wriler
Federal officials want to continue
negotiations with University administrators
over terms of a new UNC desegregation
plan, the chairperson of the UNC Board of
Governors said Monday.
William A. Johnson of Lillington said
both HEW Secretary Joseph Califano and
HEW attorney Peter l.ibassi called him last
week about the possibility of resuming
negotiations.
Meanwhile. HEW has begun reviewing
UNC programs and projects to determine
which areas of the University are
discriminatory and subject to a cutoff of
federal funds.
UNC officials are considering the
possibility of tiling suit in' federal court to
light the possible fund-cutoff. Johnson said
a decision on the court action will be made
later this week by a special Board of
Governors committee.
"1 talked to both Mr. l.ibassi and Mr.
Califano last week about the possibility of
further discussions, and 1 said there would
not be much purpose to them unless they
were willing to take a different stand on some
of the issues," Johnson said.
UNC remains unchanged in its differences
with HEW, Johnson said. "1 think at this
moment our position is pretty well w hat it
has been for the last couple of weeks," he
said.
UNC has two weeks to file a response to
Califano's decision to begin cutoff of federal
funds to the University. HEW had set a
March 20 deadline for UNC officials to
submit a desegregation plan acceptable to
HEW.
When he announced his decision lust
week. Califano expressed hope that talks
between HEW and UNC would continue
and a settlement would be reached out of
court.
But UNC 1'iesalent William C. Eridas
reacted negatively to Califano's decision,
saving the secretaiv's position disappointed
t mveisitv ,u!:nsiui r atoi s.
"It is questionable whether we can or
should continue discussion," Friday said.
"The allegations made by HEW indicate that
the discussions in which we have engaged
these last several weeks were an effort made
by HEW for the record and nothingmore."
After UNC files a response to the decision,
HEW and UNC will meet in an
administrative court to determine if HEW
legally can cut off funds to the University.
UNC has hired the Houston-based law
firm of Fulbright & Jaworski to represent
the University in court dealings with HEW.
Gov. Jim Hunt said Friday he would
support increased state funding of UNC if
HEW begins cutting off federal funds. Hunt
said he would not support any tax increase to
help support the University.
Morrison, James
rearrange suites
to house women
By LAURA ALEXANDER
Slff W riter
Housing arrangements in Morrison and
Hinton James dormitories will be modified
for the 1978-79 academic year to
accommodate an above-average number of
incoming freshmen women, housing officials
announced Wednesday.
Suites on three floors in Morrison and one
in James will be assigned suite-by-suite coed
floors to create sufficient female housing.
A projected 54-55 percent of the incoming
class will be female, Anthony Strickland,
assistant director for undergraduate
admissions, said.
"Applications by women are more
numerous than usual, and more women than
men have been accepted so far this year,"
Strickland said. Original admissions
projections indicated that 52 percent of the
incoming freshman class would be female.
