From staff reports
The endorsements are in, the forums are com
plete and the literature is out. A day before elections
candidates and campaign organizations still are
pcliiickir.3 intensely for what is certain to be one
of the closest, and, unquestionably, one of the
hardest-fought campus elections in recent years.
The races for student body president and editor
of The Daily Tar Heel have been characterized by
intensity and fervor that caused one student to
describe them as "paranoia run amuck."
There have been many incidents. Following the
Hinton James forum Thursday night, accusations
were exchanged between student body presidential
candidates Scott Norberg and Joe Buckner and
their supporters.
Earlier that day, Norberg campaigned door-to-door
cn the 10th floor of Hinton James. "There
had been some really negative attitudes against
Scott," said Tavia Hutchins, who had accompa
nied Norberg. "Residents -had asked Norberg
w hy Chapel Thrill which he oversaw as an exe
cutive assistant to Student Body President Bob
: Saunders had lost $9,000.
After the forum, Norberg accused Buckner of
campaigning there earlier and "setting him up."
' Eli McCullough, Hinton James governor, had
campaigned with Buckner early that day. "He
(Buckner) asked people to express any problems.
They usually brought up Chapel Thrill and Joe
tells them how he feels. He mentions that $9,000
was lost," McCullough said..
"I did not mention Norbcrg's name in any way.
The problem cam eup when Norberg said (before)
that he ran Chapel Thrill," Buckner said.
McCullough also accused Hutchins of pulling
down campaign material, an Honor Court viola
tion. Hutchins said she took a Buckner card with
the basketball schedule off a suitemate's door,
looked at it, and unconsciously threw it away. "I
shouldn't have done it, I didn't even think about
it," she said.
Deana Williamson, an Elections Board member,
said Sunday night that she would investigate the
incident. "I feel it is necessary to have it acted
upon because I don't want anything hanging over
the election."
The DTH editor's race also has been scarred by
personality attacks and rumors that seem to have
become commonplace during this year's campaign.
After candidate Thomas Jessiman was said to
have made anti-Greek statements on a Charlotte
television station at the Panhelkruc forum, he
said, "I wish it had been dircur:cd at the forum
where I could defend myself.-1 think it's a shame
it happened behind closed doors."
Jessiman agreed the campaign has been intense
and sometimes disturbing. "I've been very disturbed
by the number of rumors I've encountered
things I've never said but I've been reported to
have said. I don't know where it's coming from
but it's disappointing.
"The election is not won or lost by the political
rumors or the political hctshots, but by that fresh
man or sophomore on the first floor in some
obscure dorm," he said.
Hummel agreed that "there's a lot of dirt flying

CHARLOTTE Going into the North-South
Doubleheader, Carolina's opponents looked formi
dable. St. Joseph's was 15-3 prior to its two losses in
the event and Furman had defeated the Tar Heels
twice in the last three meetings in the tournament.
As it turned out, the North-South was little more
than a breather between a rugged, intense schedule
of ACC games. UNC, now 18-5, recorded easy vic
tories blasting St. Joseph's 87-64 in the opener
and downing Furman 79-64 in Saturday's game.
"We just came through nine very tough confe
rence games and I was really concerned whether we
would have the emotion and intensity," Dean
Smith said following the Tar Heels' opening night
win. "Our players got together. Al Wood said
Dont worry. Coach.' So, 1 didn't worry. I have to
give credit where it's due."
Despite the laid-back, family outing mood of the
trip, the Tar Heels were faced with the dilemma of
bouncing back from last Tuesday's loss to Virginia.
But, that worry was disposed of early against St.
Joseph's. 4 .
Carolina jumped out to a 6-0 lead early when the
Hawks opened in a delay offense. That plan failed
when St. Joseph's point guard Jeffrey Clark picked
up three fouls in two minutes. .
Al Wood and Jimmy Black led the fast-breaking
Tar Heel offense in the first half that lifted Carolina
to an 18-point lead at one time. Wood was perfect
from the field and the foul line (4-for-4 and 3-for-3)
and Black hit three out of three tries from the field.
The Hawks moved within six points when John
Smith hit a 15-foot jumper with 8:46 left, but bas
kets by Cecil Exum, Mike Pepper, Sam Perkins and
James Worthy widened the margin to 16, 28-12.
Wood hit a 15-footer and Worthy scored on a pass
from Black on the break to give the Tar Heels their
biggest lead of the half, 32-14.
Marcellus "Boo! Williams and Bryan Warrick
lifted St. Joseph's offense in the second half after
the Hawks shot only 35 percent in the first half.
Williams finished with 19 points and .'was St.
Joseph's only inside threat because the Tar Heel de
fense denied center Tcny Costner a shot from the
field. Warrick scored 16 points for St. Joseph's and
Lcnnie McFarland added 13.
Nevertheless, the Tar Heels increased their lead
early in the second half as Pepper scored the first
two baskets after intermission, 41-23. Worthy and
Perkins combined for CI of Carolina's 12 points in"
a seven-minute stretch that followed to keep
Carolina up by a comfortable margin.
A baseline jumper by Matt Dcherty coupled with
baskets by Worthy and Jim Eraddock put the fi
nishing touches on St. 'Joseph's with 6:18 left,
63-45.
"You've got to hnd it "to cur seniors, rtl of
them," Smith said after the win. "They got the
team together. This was a step; toward the NCAAs;
"Our defense was very active in the first half. Al
Wood continues to play like the Ail-American he is.
Jimmy Black continues to play well and Pepper
played one of his best games defensively."
"To get the lead in the first half, cur f::t break
was marvelous. It was good in the t rccr. i tzlt until
late. We are a very good fast-brcalirj tram end ycu
have to have rebounding for thnt. James Worthy
and Sam Perkins are good at getting the rebound
and making the pass to start the break."
Wood led the Tar Heels with 20 points and
Worthy and Perkins had 13 end 12 points when the
Tar Heels shot 66 percent from the field for the
n.g,.t.
