Carolina was never really in it. Virginia rattled the Tar Heels early and sus tained its agressiveness throughout the game, beating UNC 74-58 here Wednesday night. "1 wish they had told us ahead of time they were going to let them go like that," UNC coach Dean Smith said, obviously upset with the officiating. "Virginia played an aggressive game; the crowd was great and they really deserved to win." Virginia, now 7-1 in the Atlantic Coast Con ference is in good shape for the league title as UNC falls to 7-2 in league play. "Our backs are to the walls for the ACC regular season championship," Smith said. "This puts Virginia in the driver's seat. If they play with that crowd, that emotion and those referees, they'll beat anybody." Matt Doherty, who finished with nine Jobs offices e&pect federal fund allocation By DAVID McHUGH DTH Staff Writer ' A bill allocating funds to keep North Carolina's 85 Employ ment Security Commission offices open is expected to win con gressional approval easily, according to House Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Rep. William Natcher, D-Ky. North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt strongly has urged passage of the bill in a letter delivered Tuesday to Natcher, citing the necessity of ESC services during a period of rising unemploy ment. Natcher, whose subcommittee will submit the bill to the full Appropriations Committee today, said, "I expect this bill to be approved by the full committee, passed by the House and Senate and signed by the president." -v. The Reagan administration submitted a $2.3 billion spending package to Congress on Monday designed to deal with the na tion's growing unemployment rate. Included in the package was $210 million for jobs se: vices offices around the country, such as the ESC. The ESC's duties include administering unemployment in surance and matching prospective employers with unemployed job seekers. The commission's funds, cut 17 percent last sum mer, were reduced an additional 12 percent under a continuing resolution that expires March 31. The present bill will restore funds cut under the continuing resolution. Hunt's press aide Brent Hackney said Wednesday the bill was necessary in order for state offices to maintain their present levels of service. "We weren't pleased with the 17 percent cut, but we absorbed it. What we can't stand is another cut on top of that," he said. The Hunt administration had implemented an emergency funding measure to keep the offices open until March 31. Hunt said if Congress did not restore funds lost under the continuing resolution, more than half the offices would have to close. Local action came from North Carolina's Rep. Bill Hefner, D-8th, who has sponsored similar legislation. Press secretary Jim Lewis said Hefner was pleased with progress on the bill. "The administration is responding to a groundswell of in dignation over all this. The House leadership was quite concern ed about the closings." Rhett Chamberlain, manager of the Durham ESC office overseeing services for Orange, Durham and Person counties, said local offices already had experienced the budget squeeze. He reported that the Carrboro ESC office was closed June 30 due to summer budget cuts and that remaining ESC services of fered through the Department of Social Services in Carrboro were ended Monday. Chamberlain said the Durham ESC had laid of f six employees effective Feb. 1 in addition to others lost due to earlier budget reductions. "We've lost additional people through attrition as well as through layoff," he said. "People are not being replac ed when they retire or quit. We had about 60 people working for us, and we've lost 25 in toto since last August." Chamberlain said budget problems had plagued ESC for some time. "We can't reduce our workload when our staff is reduced," he said. "By law, we have to serve everyone who presents himself, and the agency has not grown with the popula tion since 1967. We have been disturbed for years that we aren't adequately funded." points but four tournovers, felt a little dif ferently. "I think we're in good shape," he said. "It would be nice if we could win the regular season, but I guess our goal now is the ACC tournament and the NCAAs." But he felt Virginia definitely won this round. "They played real hard in the first half and maybe we didn't," he said. "In the se cond half we did, but we made turnovers." The Tar Heels finished with 15 turnovers and the Cavaliers had 10 steals. With the Cavaliers up 16-13 with 12: 18 to go in the half, they reeled off nine unanswered points in two minutes to take a, commanding 25-13 lead. Sampson scored 30 points and pulled in 19 rebounds in the first meeting between the two teams a 65-60 Tar Heel win in Chapel Hill. But this time the scoring was a little more even and the Tar Heels had to worry about all the Cavaliers. Othell Wilson had 10 first half points as did Sampson. Wilson finished with 20 points, while Sampson had 18. Mike Jordan, who led the UNC scoring with 17 points, kept the Tar Heels in the game with nine points, most from outside, but he had three of UNC's nine turnovers in the first ' half. Virginia had four. The Tar Heels fell behind even more in the second half as the Cavaliers jumped to a 17-point lead at 49-32 on two outside jumpers by freshman Tim Mullen. But Sam Perkins, who played the whole 40 minutes and ended with 16 points, led a come back as the Tar Heels scored eight straight points to pull within nine at 49-40. Then Sampson went to work, banging home two dunks to help up the score to 57-42. The Tar Heels came right back with the only real excitement of the game. A couple of steals set up baskets by James Worthy, who had only ten points. UNC had a chance to cut the lead to five after a turnaround by Worthy made the score 57-50. But another turnaround jumper fell short and Wilson, the sparkplug all night, and Craig Robinson got inside to send the lead back to 11. It never got closer than nine points again. "We seem to get stuck down by nine," Doherty said. "The turnovers really hurts us. When you come from behind, you have to . limit the turnovers," Smith said he thought a lot of the turnovers were unjustified. "We have to take care of the ball, but I thought we did take care of it and it was strip ped," he said still fuming about the officials. "We have to continue to improve and get ready for aggressive play if the refs are going to let the game go you've got to be ready for that in the NCAA tournament." Virginia outshot the Tar Heels 63.3 percent to 49.1 percent for the game. "I thought we played a good 40 minutes of basketball , tonight," Cavalier coach Terry Holland said. "We let down in one stretch in the second half when Carolina really attacked the basket." f --"' , " t p?V ' r v. u ' ' 7 C"N. ft :-: . : 4am ruff it nun rmmir "Ti-nr"if "J-J,'feTf TnniiiiniiiiMiniiirn'f - fflni n aa MMmttT : UNC freshman Mike Jordan ...scored 17 points in losing cause DTHlile photo S ' J :W:: :': : -f: ' ':.:.: mf f , .. : yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'y: : :: , ''-JTwS',- ' 1 t c - - 1 t T'' - y ' ! i - S i 'I - 1 - r " -if tr !

Local family' owned restaurant closes indefinitely By GREG BATTEN DTH Staff Writer The Carolina Grill, a culinary tradition for many UNC students, closed last Wednesday for an indefinite period after the death of owner Paul Boyles. The Grill, located on West Franklin Street across from McDonald's., was known for quick service, reasonable prices and southern-style cook ing. . . - Although the Boyles family will maintain legal rights to the business, former assistant manager Polly Burgess expressed uncertainty about the Grill's future. ''The family of the manager has offered me the business to operate," Burgess said Tuesday. "But it's a decision that I'm not sure that I'm ready to make." Burgess said she felt the Boyles family "didn't want to have anything to do with the business." She said many people, especially students, had expressed concern over the Grill's sudden closing. "We cater to an awful lot of students. They were a big part of our business." Stelios Skleris, an old friend of Boyles, said the Grill was a tradition that he hated to see end. Co-owners Bill Allen and Boyles opened the business in the mid-60s, according to Skleris. "Bill and Paul really changed the place around," he said. "Both were real hard workers and excellent businessmen." Allen sold his share of the Grill about seven or eight years ago, after which Boyles managed as sole owner, Skleris said. Burgess agreed with Skleris about wanting to see the tradition continue. "I would really like to see the Grill stay open. I guess I have some control over the situation, but it's really a 'tough decision to make," she said. "There's a lot 01 pressure, aiong with many little things, involved with owning your own business." tadlen4 attend pia jei BFeaMast By JEFF HIDAY DTH Staff Writer It is an everyday occurrence when Washington, D.C. officials meet to dis cuss political issues. But once a year, the same congressmen, ambassadors, digni taries and even the president join to dis cuss a less-common subject: faith in the Lord and how it influences events in our nation's capital. This year, four UNC students are among 65 students invited nation-wide to participate in the National Prayer Break fast to be held this morning. Mark Byrd, Richard Rhodes, Lilly Sensing and Martha Vetter all left for Washington Wednesday morning and will return Saturday. Vetter, a senior, described the Prayer Breakfast as an aftempt "to deepen the awareness of national events and hope fully integrate this awareness with the teachings of Jesus Christ." . It is interesting and important, Vetter said, for Washington officials to discern between their faith and work. Holly Palmer, a senior, attended the breakfast last year and said, "It was help ful to see that there are men and women in government that are Godly people and committed to the truth of Christ." Another student, Will Rhodes, who went last year, stressed the value of such a diverse group's coming together as one. He referred to the breakfast as an "ecu menical type thing with all God's people stepping beyond denominational bounda ries to share and look to God with hope and trust." For. example, Rhodes said,. New York City Major Ed Koch, who is Jewish, attended. "I learned a lot," Rhodes said. "Two members of the German Parliament were there these are two who feud in politics yet become friends when it comes to faith." - ' Vetter said the history of the breakfast dated back to the Eisenhower administra tion. It began "30 years ago," she' said. "Senators were meeting weekly for prayer and support. One week they invited the newly-inaugurated President Eisenhower to meet with them. He liked it so much he proposed that all of Congress should get together similarly." And so it has continued and grown. The official sponsor of the breakfast is the Congress, but instrumental to the suc cess of each' year's gathering is the Wash ington Fellowship Foundation, a layman's group comprised of . non denominational Christians. This group once consisted solely of Washington offi cials. It has since expanded and includes members from all over the country. It is customary for the President to speak at the breakfast, and this year is ex pected to be no different. Last year, Palmer said, President Reagan told the parable of an experience walking down the beach. According to the story, a man walked down the beach and looked behind to see his footsteps ac companied by another set. But at times the second set disappeared and there was only one. The man asked the Lord to ex plain this phenomenon and He replied that He always walked with the man, but the times when there was only one set of footsteps were the times when the Lord carried the man. CaMIh)(D)F(D)' IbdDard. i .lacks members By DEAN LOWMAN DTH Staff Writer Is there , really a Carrboro Housing Authority? Carrboro officials are unsure of the status of the agency, which has not met since 1972. Former authority members voiced complaints at a public hearing last week. "What we might have is a housing au thority that exists without any member ships," Alderman Jim White said Tues day. "All the terms of the old board members have expired, and the board (of Alderman) has not appointed any now members." . The question of the housing authority's - existence arose during a public hearing last week concerning a proposal to build 30 low-income public housing units in Carrboro, with help from the Chapel Hill Housing Authority. Ben Grantham, former chairman of the Carrboro authority, said the agency had been legally formed, but had never been officially dissolved. The aldermen should have worked through the Carr boro board rather than turning to Chapel Hill for assistance, he said. "As I understand it," Mayor Bob Drakeford said, "the old housing autho rity had a contract with Orange County while Orange County contracted with the Chapel Hill Housing Authority. "When you get one body that is semi defunct contracting with another semi defunct body and then contracting with an active body (the Chapel Hill authority), the active one is going to do the work anyway," Drakeford said. "So I don't think it's a big issue." The Carrboro authority was formed in late 1969, and was pfficially registered with the state June 12, 1970. After unsuccessfully trying to secure funds from Housing and Urban Develop ment for a 300-unit housing project for elderly Carrboro residents, the group de cided to stop meeting on a regular basis until funds for the project became avail able. "We left word with the aldermen that if funds became available, then HUD would notify the board and they, in turn, would notify us," Grantham said. Grantham said the authority members had heard nothing about money for local housing projects becoming available until they read in the newspaper that Carrboro was considering the joint effort with the Chapel Hill Authority. "The (authority) members resented the board (of Aldermen) not recognizing us as a legal body," Grantham said. "We feel they should be working through the Carrboro board rather than turning to Chapel Hill for help." Crbbrri'lown' Manager Richard Hunter said the town "had been virtually told by HUD that it would not support two housing authorities this close together." Alvin Stevenson, executive director of the Chapel Hill Housing Authority, said the status of the Carrboro board should not affect the agreement between Carr boro and the Chapel Hill agency. "Legally, the (Chapel Hill) housing authority has been allocated 30 units, so I don't think it would really make any dif ference." If the Carrboro Housing Authority is revived, it would primarily serve an ad visory function and remain a citizen's board with very little power, Hunter said. "We're in the process of negotiating with Chapel Hill for representation on their board," alderman Jim White said. "I see no problem in getting a member from Carrboro, who would be.appointed by the aldermen, on the board." Alderman Ernie Patterson said re establishing the agency would not be an effective way of handling the problem. "Until a viable project becomes avail able, I don't see much chance of reviving the authority," Patterson said. "And I don't see a viable project coming along in the near future." Legislators debate two four-year terms By KEN SIMAN DTH Staff Writer Debate has been spurred across the state by a proposed amendment to the North Carolina constitution which would extend the terms of state legislators from two years to four years. If it is approved by voters in the state's May 8 primary, legislators would be elected in different years than the Gover nor' and Council of State in addition to having their terms extended. The amend ment was okayed last year by the General Assembly to be put before the state's voters. Sen. Henson Barnes, D-Wayne, a prin cipal sponsor of the amendment, said Tuesday its passage was essential if the General Assembly was to maintain its status as a citizen legislature. "The majority of occupations can't be represented in the general legislature," Barnes said. As legislative sessions in crease in length, few people can afford to take the necessary time off work to be a legislator, he said. Barnes said by increas ing the terms to four years, potential legislators would have to spend less time campaigning, thereby making a legislative race more appealing to those who could not afford to run in the present two-year format. In addition, Barnes said the in fluence of special interest groups in the state legislature would be reduced if the amendment were approved, since cam paigning would be limited to once every four years. "One of the purposes (of the amend ment) is to keep- independent the character of the legislature so it will not be dependent on special interest groups for campaign funds," he said. But opponents of the amendment say passage will reduce a legislator's accoun tability to voters. If approved, the amendment will "cement in place the power structure . in the legislature... (legislators will become) heavy-handed without standing before the voters as often," said former Gov. Bob Scott. (Scott and former Govs. Terry Sanford and James Holshouser are honorary tri chairmen of the Keep the Two-Year Term Committee, Raleigh-based organization opposed to the amendment. Gov. Jim Hunt remains publicly neutral on the pro posed amendment, said Hunt press aide Brent Hackney. Holshouser said Wednesday that while he was "sympathetic with the fact we need changes made to protect the concept of the citizen legislaure," the proposed amendment was not the way to go about it. "What's needed is to reduce the size of legislative districts... and some kind of time limit on the length of the legislative sessions," he said. Tom Gilmore, chairman of the Keep the Two-Year Term Committee said the organization planned to implement a media campaign in opposition to the pro posed amendment.
