The Daily Tar HeelThursday. January 17, 19853 from page 1 Martin picked up four of his blocks on two State possessions. The highlight lilm will most likely record the second hall sequence in which Martin popped a shot back into Charles' face, then rejected Charles' second effort as a reflex action. "I didn't really do anything special," Martin said. l just went out there and played hard, like I do for every game. Maybe this was my best game; I had a lot of blocked shots. But 1 can't forget the other things I did that weren't so good." Carolina played much of the game as a victim of its own miscues. The Tar Heels turned the ball over 10 times in the first half, and on three of their first five second-half possessions before getting on track. UNC finished the game with 15 turnovers. This was the second straight UNC game in which the battle of big men took on a particularly prominent role. On Sunday, UNC's Brad Daugherty and Dave Popson fouled out early, leaving only Martin to challenge powerful center Joe Koncak. Last night. State was generally contained inside, as most of Charles' baskets came from the perimeter. McQueen could muster only three points on five rebounds, while forward Russell Pierre chalked in 12 points and five rebounds. Contrarily, Daugherty and Popson avoided any serious foul trouble, scoring 17 and 10 points, respectively. "Brad did a good job and Warren's shot blocking and scoring were so important. Kenny Smith's second-half play was tremendous. Hale did a good job on McQueen and Pierre. We hit our free throws down the stretch. Popson is a better foul shooter than the stat sheet shows." Popson had hit only eight of 17 free throws before last night, but was six for six in the final two minutes.

While the second half was essentially one of streaks, the first half was more hotly contested, as neither team could break away until the final minutes, when State took advantage of Tar Heel turnovers to open up a 43-34 advantage. State outscored UNC 14-3 over the final four minutes of the half. Six Tar Heels scored in double figures as Kenny Smith added 13 and Buzz Peterson 10. UNC hit 57 percent from the floor on the game, to 44 percent for the Wolfpack. f American Heart Association , .... i-. , .-- f t Tin n 3 X University Square Chapel Hill 967-8935 11 I . - v.

Titchener said one of his priorities if elected would be staying in touch with the senior class. He said he would actively seek the opinions of class members in matters affecting the whole class, such as choosing the choice of a class gift and a commencement speaker.

He said interested seniors would be able to sign up for committees to work on projects, such as the class eift Such class participation could avoid prob lems such as those experienced by this year's senior class in choosing a class gift, he said. "We want to comprise a list of several gift ideas that are the most needed and submit them to our gift committee," he said. Titchener said a scholarship already had been proposed as the class gift. A scholarship would enable someone to come to school who might not be able to otherwise, he said. "But if the students who are the class marshals and the other students don't want a scholarship, then we won't have one," he said. In addition, Titchener and Wellons said they would work to maintain the tradition of graduating in Kenan Stadium. They also are looking into the possibility of a class trip to the Bahamas or Mexico, as well as two or three smaller class trips within the state to places such as the beach or the moun tains, Titchener said. Titchener is chairman of the Univer sity Relations Committee and is a member of Chi Psi fraternity. Wellons is an executive assistant in the Black Student Movement and has served on the University Relations Committee and the Elections Board. New UNC program recruits gifted high-school students By RACHEL STIFFLER StafT Writer The University is making an active effort to recruit gifted high-school students to UNC through a new pro gram being conducted by the Under graduate Admissions Office, the N.C. Fellows Program and Phi Eta Sigma honorary society. Tony Strickland, assistant director of undergraduate admissions, said the program was an outgrowth of a survey done two years ago to determine why many gifted students did not choose to attend UNC. The survey found that respondents' four, main reasons were UNC's lack of an engineering school, very little financial aid that is not based on need, a lack of personal contact with students during the application and decision making process, and a lack of recog nition of gifted students. Last year, the undergraduate admis sions office attempted to remedy the problem by contacting by mail several hundred gifted students who applied to Carolina, inviting them to visit the campus. Strickland said the invitation evi dently had a positive effect, since 60 percent of the students contacted eventually enrolled at UNC, compared with only 48 percent of the gifted students not contacted. This year a similar but more intensive program has been launched, Strickland said. It is being co-ordinated by members of the N.C. Fellows Program along with the help of the undergraduate admissions office and Phi Eta Sigma. UNC student volunteers are given a list of gifted high-school students to contact by mail, inviting them for a campus visit, lunch at the University's expense, and offering them an opportunity to talk with UNC students about Carolina life, Strickland said. Arrangements can also be made for the visiting student to talk with a student or faculty member in an academic department in which he or she is interested. The gifted students also receive letters from UNC Chancellor Christopher C. Ford ham III, expressing the Universi ty's desire that they enroll here. Strickland praised the student volun teers for their efforts. "So far the input and the enthusiasm of the students has been great," he said. "One of them said, I wish someone had done this for me when I was applying!'." He said he also was grateful to Vice Chancellor Harold Wallace for "the good deal of support, financial and otherwise, that he has given the program." The aim of the program is to recruit students without resorting to a "hard sell technique," Strickland said, adding that student volunteers had been advised to answer all questions "in a straightforward manner, whether (the answer) is positive or not. They need to give the person an accurate idea of what they will encounter here the opportunities and the problems." Between 700 and 800 students chosen on the basis of class rank, SAT scores and grade-point averages have been contacted so far this year, and one student has already visited the campus, Strickland said.
