Hollywood bound, the
'Psyched' UNC cheerleaders
ready for Hollywood contest
Unlike most cheering squads across the country, the cheerleaders at Carolina
haven't put away their megaphones and pompoms yet.
Instead, the UNC cheerleaders are practicing dances, skits, cheers and
gymnastics for the National Collegiate Cheerleading Championships in
Hollywood, Calif., April 3-7.
Earlier, UNC was chosen as one of the top five squads in the country by the
International Cheerleading Foundation along with Florida, Kansas, Pittsburgh
and Southern California. The competition this week will decide where Carolina
is rated in the top five. The Carolina squad will fly to Hollywood Sunday.
The winning squad will be chosen before a live audience and a panel of judges,
pageant style, on April 6. Cheryl Ladd will be the hostess, George Burns an
honored guest and Phyllis George and Bruce Jenner will be the commentators
for the 90-minute television special on CBS, May 1 at 9 p.m.
To earn the top-five ranking and an invitation to the finals, the squad prepared
slides, a videotape presentation and two scrapbooks of pictures.
UNC's co-head cheerleaders are seniors Chuck Day and Cathy McDowell.
The other members of the squad are Hank Gillebaard, Pam Parham, Teresa
Trice, Heidi Behrends, Bob Fussell, Vicki Marmarose, Steve Moazed, Bill
Nicholson, Brantley Peck, RebThomas, Kim Cline, Ross Coppage, Winnie Liles
and Marianne Shoaf.
The national competition in Hollywood will be based one-third on cheers and
chants, one-third on dances and one-third on spectacle. Each squad is given six
minutes on stage. .
"The things we do best are partner stunts, dances and pyramids, Day said.
"We're working on what we do best because we think our style is different.
Carolina's men cheerleaders have dance routines whereas only the women dance
in most squads. . . , , r.
"We're psyched," McDowell said. "We've been practicing for weeks. Being in
competition is much more intense and very strenuous."

Voter registration
By ROBERT THOMASON
Staff Writer
The deadline for registering to vote in the
May 2 primary election for county and state
offices is 5 p.m. Monday.
Anyone who is an Orange County resident
and is age 18 or older may register Saturday
between noon and 5 p.m. and Monday from
9-5 p.m. at the Chapel Hill Municipal
Building or the Carrboro Town Hall. There
will be no registration today.

another or wish to change party affiliations
you must re-register by 5 p.m. Monday.
"We are registering people just as we did
before the Bailey order," registrar Alice
Hollis said.
Push, shove, crunch
It looks a lot I ike the American game of
football, and it's every bit as rough.
Perhaps even rougher. Folks in Chapel
Hill got a look at just how treacherous
the game of rugby is Thursday afternoon
on Fetzer Field when the High Wycombe
Rugby Club of England battled a team of
players from North Carolina. High
Wycombe, in striped shirts, began this
play from a scrum, a formation where
forwards from both teams crouch
together with locked arms and with the
two front rows of each team meeting
head to head. The English team won the
game. Staff photo by Scott Johnston.

Tar Heel cheerieadlng squad hopes to make It big

Bailey earlier this month ordered registrars
to use a specific set of questions to determine
whether a voter applicant's legal domicile is
Orange County.
But the N.C. Court of Appeals delayed
implementation of Bailey's order, so
registrars are not using the questions set
down in the Superior Court order.
Registered voters can cast ballots for
candidates for district attorney, clerk of
superior court, county commissioner,
sheriff, U.S. senator, associate justice of the

Lacrosse turmoil lessens;
Doty offers reconciliation
By FRANK SNYDER
Staff Writer
UNC lacrosse players have until 3
p.m. today to individually tell coach
Paul Doty whether or not they will play
out the remainder of the season.
The team's future remained in doubt
all day Thursday as a series of meetings
involving Doty, the players, and UNC
Athletic Director Bill Cobey failed to
resolve team dissension which broke out
earlier this week.
Rejecting a set of options presented to
him by Cobey, which included resigning
or cancelling the season. Doty tendered
his own solution offering each player
a chance to rejoin the team on Doty's
terms in an effort to regain team
unity.
Doty dismissed 13 current team
members Wednesday, including two All
Americas, saying they displayed a
negative attitude toward the team and
coaches.
Doty asked the team Thursday night
to"realizethat mistakes have been made
on both sides" and "forget everything
Fountain critical of Calif ano stand
By ROBERT THOMASON
Staff Writer
U.S. Rep. L. H. Fountain Thursday
criticized HEW Secretary Joseph Califano
for making unreasonable demands on
University administrators in the long
standing UNC-HEW desegregation conflict.
The Tarboro Democrat said he believes
the five other state university systems a U .S.
District Court judge said were lax in
desegregation efforts accepted federal
guidelines in order to appease HEW
administrators.
"1 think UNC has been honest in saying it
has worked to integrate its schools," said
Fountain, who is running unopposed in the
Democratic primary election May 2 but
faces a Republican candidate in the
November contest.
"UNC should not be required to sign a
commitment it feels it cannot meet."
Fountain said while on a campaign swing
through Chapel Hill.
Monday
challenged and is not sure what to do," Weir
said.
Voter applicants must be at least 18 and
have lived at their Orange County address
for 30 days. A list of 18 questions required
under Bailey's court order is not being used,
according to Weir.
Registrars now ask if you have registered
previously to vote in Orange County or if
you are registered in some other county,
Hollis said. They ask you where your present
address is, how long you have lived there and
if you consider it to be your permanent
home.
Registrars also ask for some
identification, what year in school you are
and if you have ever been convicted of a
felony. They will ask you to swear or affirm
to uphold the laws of the land. Hollis said.
it
that's happened this week and come
back to the team on our terms."
Doty's remarks came during the third
team meeting of the day after two earlier
meetings resulted in no solution. "The
terms are that we're the coaches," Doty
said after the 8:30 p.m. meeting.
All Thursday afternoon Doty met
individually with each of the dismissed
players and told them his reasons for
removing them from the team.
The players, Cobey and Doty then
met at 5:30 when Cobey presented the
team with the only two alternatives
which he said he could see. Between 5:30
and 8:30 p.m., however. Doty said he
"tried to hash this thing out."
"1 did some soul-searching," Doty
said. "1 thought about resigning. I
thought about a lot of things but I've
never been a quitter. I'm not about to
start to be."
The apparent result was Doty's
decision to allow all of the dismissed
players to return to the team if they
chose to do so.
Doty said he felt he owed it to the
"I told Mr. Califano I don't think he or the
head of any other agency has the right to
dictate educational policy," Fountain said.
The 16-mcmber University system and
federal lawyers should continue negotiations
before taking the matter into federal court.
Fountain said. He predicted a long legal
battle drawn out over several months if the
matter finds its way to court.
Fountain noted that the NAACP Legal
Defense Fund, the same group that initially
brought court action against the University
system in 1975, has recently charged
Califano with discrimination in minority
employment practices within HEW.
The member of Congress said he is leaning
towards a movement in the federal
legislature that could result in the breakup of
HEW into separate departments of health,
education and welfare.
HEW is one of the largest Cabinet-level
departments in the federal bureaucracy. It
has more than 130,000 employees.
Crist to appfear in seminar
More than 100 critics, journalists and
artists are expected to attend "Arts
Reporting and Criticism in North
Carolina," a special segment of the
Carolina Symposium.
The seminar, which features movie
critic Judith Crist and Broadway
producer Richard Adler runs from 9
a.m.-4:I5 p.m. today. The seminar is to
honor Walter Spearman, who is retiring
after 43 years as an instructor in the U NC
School of Journalism.
Panelists will discuss how the roles of
critic and artist influence each other and
the quality and content of media coverage
of the arts. Other featured speakers
include John Canaday, former New York
Times arts editor and Jonathan Yardley,
Miami Herald book editor. .
All sessions are in the Carolina Union.
Spearman will speak briefly at 9 a.m. and
make the closing remarks at 4:15 p.m.
ACC considers adding
8th team -Georgia Tech
ATLANTA (UP1)-Georgia Tech
which spent 14 years as a major
independent after withdrawing from the
Southeastern Conference, decided
Thursday to seek membership in the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Tech athletic board voted
unanimously at a closed meeting to
apply to the ACC for affiliation after
listening to a presentation on joining the
league from Tech Athletic Director
Doug Weaver, a prime mover in seeking
conference ties.
A Tech spokesman said the ACC
Executive Committee would meet in
Atlanta with Tech representatives
Monday and at that time, the formal
conditions of membership were
expected to be adopted.
The conference now includes
Clemson. Duke, Maryland. North
Carolina, North Carolina State,
Virginia and Wake Forest. Sponsorship
by three of those would be necessary
with five favorable votes needed tor
admission.

seniors to offer them another chance to
play. "It would be criminal for the
seniors to end their careers this way."
Doty did say, however, that if the
team did not have enough players to
finish the season, he would have to
cancel it.
One team player said he felt most of
those dismissed would return. "We feel
that we've made our point," the player
said. He also said that Doty told the
team he was not sure that he would
return next vear.
The individual decisions today may
bring to a close the week-long tempest
which has engulfed the team. The first
signs of discontent surfaced after the
team's 6-4 loss to Washington and Lee
last Saturday. Seventeen team members
said Monday they were dissatisfied with
Doty's ability to lead, instruct and
motivate the team. On Tuesday 23 of the
35 team members signed a petition
challenging Doty's ability to coach
which was presented to Cobey by the
team. Four of the five delegates were
dismissed.
H. Fountain
Two sessions are scheduled from 9: 15
1 1 a.m. "The Visual Arts," in rooms 202
204, will feature Canaday along with Joe
Goodman, managing editor of the
Winston-Salem Journal, Patricia Krebs,
North Carolina arts columnist and Ernie
Wood, editor of North Carolina
Architect. "Drama and the Performing
Arts," in Great Hall, features Adler,
William Hardy, UNC RTVMP
professor, and Charles Horton, critic for
the Chapel Hill Newspaper.
Crist, Allen Oren, Charlotte Observer
critic, and R. C. Smith, Durham Herald
Sun critic, will conduct the seminar
"Motion Picture Reviewing and
Criticism" from 11:15 a.m.-1 2:45 p.m.
The final seminar is "Book Reviewing
and Criticism" in Great Hall, featuring
Yardley, Betty Hodges of the Durham
Herald-Sun, Sam Summerlin of the New
York Times and Charles Truehart of the
Greensboro Daily News.
Acceptance of Tech could possible be
beneficial to the conference, however, in
recruiting and image with Atlanta
ranking as the 16th largest television
market. Tech is also anxious to improve
crowds at its 58,000-seat football
stadium.
The Yellow Jackets could become a
member by May 16, the last day of the
ACC's annual conference in Myrtle
Beach, S C.
The Tech decision has been expected
although Weaver and school President
Dr. Joseph Pettit dodged verbal
commitments.
The Yellow Jackets are members of
the Metro Seven Conference now but
that includes only basketball and a few
other sports. None of the Metro Seven
schools play football.
Tech made a pitch last fall to re-enter
the Southeastern Conference, which is
more geographically suited for Atlanta,
but was turned dow it.
