Gaffney looks ahead to fourth trip to NCAAs,
confident about potential to be All-American
By BOB YOUNG
Staff Writer
How does a wrestler at the college level
distinguish himself as one of the best in the na
tion? He could compile an impressive record of
wins and losses. He could qualify to compete in
the national championships. Or he could be
ranked among the top competitors in his weight
class.
Or, if he is Bill Gaffney, he could simply do
all three. The 167-pound senior from Hun
tington, N.Y., returned from the East-West
mid-season All Star Classic last weekend.,
Although he lost to two-time national champion
and 1983 collegiate wrestler of the year Mike
Sheets of Oklahoma State, being selected to the
contest marked Gaffney as the best wrestler at
his weight in the East. He is only the second per
son in UNC history to be invited to the classic.
Eventual national champion CD. Mock was
selected in 1982.
He may not win the national title, but Gaff
ney says he fully expects to be an All-American
at 167. To support his claim, he cites the
Midlands Qassic, which was held in late
December in Evanston, 111. That meet is impor
tant in determining the elite wrestlers in the
country. Gaffney finished fourth in his division
against some of the best wrestlers the nation had
to offer. If he can accomplish his goal, he will
be following in the footsteps of Jan Michaels,
now an assistant coach for the Tar Heels, who
was an All-American at 167 in both 1981 and
1982.
But for Gaffney, there are more immediate
things to attend to. For example, he would like
to work on his individual record. Gaffney is
25-12-1 this season, his best record as a col
legian, but not by much. He has had 20 or more
wins in each of his previous three seasons, a
mark not many wrestlers have accomplished.
He needs only five more wins to reach 100
career victories. He has qualified for the NCAA
championships each of his first three seasons.
Another goal very much on Gaffney's mind
these days is to help his team take the ACC
regular-season title. N.C. State is a threat to this
goal, considering the Wolfpack already has a
victory over the Tar Heels this season. One of
the crucial matches of that contest was at 167,
where State's Greg Fatodl upset Gaffney "by a
' score of 9-5. It was a match Gaffney didnt ex
pect to lose.
..
"On paper, I was the better wrestler, but I
didn't prove it on the mat," he said. "I want to
make sure that it doesn't happen again." Gaff
ney was referring to the rematch between N.C.
State and North Carolina Thursday night at
Carmichael Auditorium.
Beyond the ACC season, Gaffney still has
some goals for his teammates, such as placing
high in the top 20, at years' end. .
"At that time, your performance depends a
lot on what kind of shape you're in." Gaffney
said. "If there is someone who can have us in
shape, it's coach (Bill) Lam. At this point in
time, I'm pretty much where I want to be in
terms of condition, but you have to be at your
peak when it comes time for the (NCAA) cham
pionships." Nothing would please Gaffney more than to
have the Tar Heels finish in the top 20 for the
fourth consecutive year. The team finished the
season ranked 13th, fifth and 17th the past three
years. Gaffney, along with senior Bob Shriner
and sophomore Chip McArdle, will definitely
have a say in how high the Tar Heels finish.
Gaffney wants his teammates to finish as high
, as possible in the NCAAs. He doesn't want to
be alone when the All-Americans are announced.
Men, women fencers split matches at Penn St.

North Carolina's men's and women's fencing
teams bothsplit matches against four opponents
last weekend in a tournament at Penn1 State in
University Park, Pa.
The men and women both dominated far
weaker teams, but fell to the top-level squads
after a grueling drive that placed them in
University Park at 1 a.m. Saturday.
The men defeated Carnegie-Mellon, 26-,
and William Patterson, 22-5, but came up short
against Northwestern, 15-12, and fell to Penn
State, 21-6. The women trounced Carnegie
Mellon, 16-0, and beat James Madison, 10-6,
but lost matches against Northwestern, 10-6,
and Penn State, 12-4.
The women were frustrated by their loss to
Northwestern. After trailing most of the match,
the Tar Heels caught up to the Wildcats, but
just as they had against Duke the previous
week, weren't able to follow through with the
win.
For the men, senior captain Arniel Rossabi
. led the foil division, posting an 11-1 record. In
the match with Penn State, foil was the one divi
sion to fence effectively.
Sabre leader Lonnie McCullough finished
with a 9-3 record, and Karen Marnell was the
only woman to fence consistently, according to
coach Ron Miller.
"The past two weekends have shown that, no
matter what our potential may be, we're still a
very inexperienced team," Miller said. "Now
we have a little time before the ACCs to work
on some problems. It will be niceto work on
things in a practice. All the traveling has taken
its toll on us."
Perhaps the most pleasant event for the Tar
Heels at Penn State was UNC's women's B
team's defeat of the Nittany Lions. Laura Gam
ble, fencing to break an 8-8 tie in bouts, beat her
opponent five touches to two.
The varsity women, now 8-5 on the year, face
Fairleigh Dickinson and Hollins this Friday in
Fetzer. The men, 8-4, will be off until Feb. 16,
when they fence N.C. State in a duel meet at
home.

In his program notes to Duke
University's "Encounters with the Music
oi uur lime ; series, composer aiepneRsj
Jaffe explains the purpose ot the concert
title, "Soloists and Composers". The pur
pose, he says, is "to celebrate both the con
tinuity of 20th-century musical styles and
the growing virtuosity, which performers
of this music have developed."
This idea is especially relevant since most
composers are not accorded the grace and
fame they deserve until after they are dead.
Also, the performers who do play pieces by,
living composers are seen as being more
charitable than musical.
There are, of course, some notable ex
amples of composers who have made
names for themselves while still alive:
Aaron Copland, Gian Carlo Menotti, Igor
Stravinsky. But most people do not realize
the difficulty performers have with 20th
century music. They have to live up to its
increasingly technical demands and must
also be able to speak a constantly changing
musical language.
Saturday night's program was both a
pleasant contradiction of the music norm
and a unique musical experience. It was not
only a showcase for the compbsers, but
also a display for some virtuoso perfor
mances. Flute Thing, the first piece on the pro
gram, is a piece for flute and delayed tape
composed in 1970. The flutist is recorded
while performing, then the tape plays back
what has just been recorded. Sometimes
there is just a simple contrapuntal texture;
at other times the result is a whole choir of
flutes. '

Its composer, Larry Nelson, is more en
tranced by its technology than its music.
The motives are short and brusque. While
there are some stunning effects in the piece,
they are usually cut off by a very sharp high
note in the flute followed by an awkward
silence. Still, performer Jan Herlinger did a
commendable job in both his interpreta
tion and his cuing of the tape operator
something more difficult than it sounds.
Next on the program was a selection of
piano preludes by Ruth Crawford. These
short, economical statements rival
anything that Debussy or Chopin ever
wrote. They were realized by award
winning pianists Donna Coleman, who
adequately brought out the brooding,
mysterious nature of the pieces. There was
not much diversity in their selection, so the
bouncy Leggiero brought welcome relief to
an otherwise disturbing introspection.
Robert Ward's Dialogues is the second
version of a piece originally composed for
violin, cello, and orchestra. In the revision,
Ward has reduced the orchestra part to
piano. While the piece was performed with
definite conviction, its tonalities were
rather conventional, almost derivative of
the Romantic era. In his own notes, Ward

claims that Dialogues is an experimental
piece by virtue-of its structure. In order for
the audience to appreciate the form of a
piece, however, more than one listening is
necessary.

Jaffe's Ballade for violin, cello, clarinet and
piano. The piece was alternately violent
" and brooding. Jaffe himself played the vir
tuosistic piano part.
The final piece, David Finko's Concerto
for Viola and Orchestra, was the high point
of the evening. From the first pizzicato
statement of the viola to the awkward,
dance-like theme at the end of the piece,
the concerto was a completely fascinating
achievement. Even soloist George Taylor
recieved a standing ovation.
While each of these pieces had many
merits, the most impressive thing about
Saturday's "Encounters" concert was that
so much talent and new music could be
assembled under one roof in the Triangle
area.

In Orange County there were 15 accidents in

Highway Partol.
In Chapel Hill there were seven accidents, said
Chapel Hill Public Safety officer Glenn Gage.
"Some of them had a lot of damage to the
vehicle," he said, "but we didn't have any injuries
because of the accidents."
In Carrboro there was one minor accident Monday
morning, said Carrboro Police Department Captain
N.E. Miller. There were no injuries. Total damage to
both cars involved was $2,400.
While the snow created problems for many trying
to get to work, not everyone had trouble driving.
"We had fun coming in this morning," said Ruth
Rooks, who works for the UNC Institute of Outdoor
Drama and lives 14 miles out of town. From Illinois,
Rooks said she "grew up with snow all winter long"
and wouldn't mind if it snowed all the time.
"You can always put chains on the car," she said.
