With their 82-73 victory over Virgi nia, the Tar Heels finally broke free from an ACC losing streak that covered three games and three weeks. They came back to their home court, where they've been somewhat uncom fortable lately, and for a change, it was their opponents who were made to feel uncomfortable, as UNC broke a rare two-game home losing streak. And just to keep things from straying too far from this season's madness, the Tar Heels made certain that drama once again entered the picture, nearly allow ing Virginia to snatch the game from them after they had what appeared to be an insurmountable 16-point lead. "This game doesn't mean we're back," Steve Hale said. "It doesn't mean the problem is solved. But you like to learn by winning." It was the Tar Heels' ability to control the boards and to keep Olden Polynice in check that gave them the big margin they have enjoyed so infrequently this season. And once they established a sizeable lead, they apparently were unable to figure out what to do next. UNC came out of the locker room at halftime tied, 34-34, and quickly decided to assert itself against a team that had one just one conference game this year. Brad Daugherty picked up his third and fourth fouls in the first four minutes of the half, but the Tar Heels refused to let that bother them. "When Brad comes out, we all just try to pick up the slack," said Warren Martin, who did just that. "They're more likely to play harder against Brad than against me, because he's a better shooter." Martin took advantage of that, as he scored a career-high 18 points and had four blocked shots. With his strong inside play and Kenny Smith control ling the tempo, North Carolina went SEP rufio Wallace, Berger to discuss meal plan: minorities By JANET OLSON Staff Writer Student body president candidates Doug Berger and Patricia Wallace have agreed to confront each other in two debates before Tuesday's runoff. Henderson Residence College will sponsor a debate Sunday night, and the Phoenix will sponsor the second Mon day night. Both Wallace and Berger said they wanted to compare their stands on the mandatory meal plan and minority issues. They also hope to discuss the differences between their approaches to the office of SBP and to structuring student government. "Patricia and I would approach the office differently from the start," Berger said. "She plans to study how to set up her government during her first month in office, while I would be out stopping the mandatory meal plan." Wallace said, "I think students need to know Doug's methods of dealing South Africa Divestment OXC'd By RUTHIE PIPKIN Staff Writer ' University officials have verbally agreed to not invest in companies in South Africa that practice discrimina tion, and Student Government is working to get the policy accepted in writing. Student Body President Paul Parker and Executive Vice President Greg Hecht have submitted a written prop osal to Chairman of the Board of Trustees George R. Ragsdale suggesting the University only invest in companies in South Africa that have signed the Sullivan Principles, which include non segregation of races in all eating, comfort and work facilities, equal and fair employment practices, equal pay for the same work and an increase in the number of blacks and other non-whites in supervisory and management positions. "The University of late has been following stands that indicate they're in support of these principles," Parker said. "We'd like to make a formal policy in writing so people we're investing with will know what our policy stand is." Parker said the University's recent sale of its stock in Black and Decker because the company had not signed the Sullivan Principles showed its growing concern. Parker and Hecht also suggest that the Board of Trustees of the Endow up by II with 13:18 left to go, then continued to increase the lead. The score was 70-54 with 5:25 remaining, and it seemed all but over. "We played a lot better than we have recently," UNC coach Dean Smith said. "The only problem was foul trouble." It became a big problem. Joe Wolf had three fouls called on him in a period of 92 seconds, the final one was his fourth of the game, with more than 10 minutes to go. Hale was assessed his fourth with just under six minutes left. And it was just about then that Smith had his team go into what he calls the "press offense," designed to handle the opponent's pressing and trapping. It was ineffective. Virginia guard Tom Calloway scored twice after UNC lost the ball, making the score 72-64, and the Tar Heels were unable to inbound the ball within five seconds, turning it over again. Then, when UNC needed it the least, Polynice began to take charge. The 6-1 1 center, who dominated when the teams played earlier this year, scored five straight points for the Cavaliers to cut the lead to 73-69. Wolf missed on a one-and-one attempt, and Darrick Simms swished a jumper from long range to make it a two-point game with 1:31 to play. But that was all Virginia had left. Kenny Smith made both ends of a one-and-one, Martin did the same and Smith scored on a double-pump dunk off a spectacular tap pass from Wolf. North Carolina raised its record to 17-5 and 5-3 in the ACC, while Virginia fell to 11-11 and 1-8. The Tar Heels had reason to be concerned after allowing the Cavaliers back in the game, but in general, it was one of their better performances this season. And in light of the team's recent losses, the post-game mood was one of mild celebration. "We really executed well for 35 minutes," said Kenny Smith, who finished with 17 points, nine assists and six rebounds. "Two weeks ago, we were See HEELS page 9 ff candidates 'She plans to study how to set up hqr government during her first month in office, while I would be out stopping the mandatory meal plan.

In addition Berger said he wanted to challenge Wallace about patronage systems in Suite C and about her stand on divestment. "IVe spent two years on the divest ment issue, and she hasn't done any thing about it," Berger said. "Why should anyone believe she supports divestment beyond her just saying she does?" Wallace said she wanted to concen trate on campus issues, including how to improve the Carolina Union, allo cating Union office space, the Student Government budget process and text book prices.

"Often companies sign the principles but don't stand by them," Hecht said. "It just gets by people divesting from them. "We're not saying divest funds totally from South Africa. We're saying, 'Do not invest in companies that don't sign the principles.' The signers of the Sullivan Principles have affirmed that they will uphold human rights, and we want that enforced . . . More needs to be done so you maintain the link between ownership and management to push for improvement rather than divesting from those who've already signed the principles." Some of the businesses the University invests in that have signed include CBS, Eastman Kodack, General Motors and Nalco Chemical Co. "Stockholders should not give up their right to run the company," Parker said. "They have a right and a vote. We invest millions, and money talks. . . . It's not enough to mirror society, we have to lead it." Parker and Hecht are waiting to hear from Ragsdale when their suggestion will be presented to the Board of Trustees of the Endowment Fund.

The Phoenix debate will be held at U.S. leaving By JOAN CLIFFORD Staff Writer The U.S. withdrawal from UNESCO has created problems for the organiza tion and resentment abroad, said former UNESCO Deputy Director General John Fobes, in a speech at Gerrard Hall Wednesday night. "The United States, as the most powerful country in the world, created a vacuum: partly irresolution we didn't know what we wanted, partly annoyance with Third-World countries, and partly benign neglect," said Fobes, who opposes U.S. withdrawal from UNESCO. "Our great power in the world carries with it a responsibility. The moment we shake that responsi bility, we create this vacuum into which trouble moves," he told the audience of about 30 people. Fobes focused his speech on lessons he said Americans should learn from the U.S. break-away, and he proposed policies for future involvement with UNESCO. Theway the United States handled the withdrawal has provoked great resentment and tension in the world, Fobes said. "I've seen (newspaper) clippings from all over the world. Africans think an attack on UNESCO is an attack on Africa." Fobes said the United States needed to work for greater cooperation with other countries. "It would be wise to work more closely with allies and also other countries and certainly don't be so arrogant and casual with them," he said.

"The most important thing about the debate is having both of the candidates on stage together without the interfer ence of other candidates with overlap ping platforms," Mason said. debates UNESCO demoralized allies, Fobes says "The signs of our disaffection were apparent." New isolationism within the U.S. clashes with strong nationalism in other countries and staggers UNESCO, he said. "I think it's a feeling of helplessness and a feeling that it's a dangerous world out there, and there's not much we can do about it except protect our own interests." Fobes stressed a need for better planning of future strategies and policies. "We have to develop a vision of the future, and we have to do it without the impetus we had in the 1940s with the war," he said. But he said there now exists no attempt at reform. "Under the Reagan Administration, there is no plan; there is simply a desire to threaten the rest of the world." The United States began to fund UNESCO in 1969, but by 1983 funds ceased, to the disappointment of many other countries, he said. "Withdrawing from UNESCO demoralizes our allies and peer coun tries, threatens the attempts of many effective programs, and cuts ourselves off in playing a responsible, respectable role in the ongoing effort to create a common will towards survival and an endurable future together." Fobes, who served at UNESCO from 1970 to 1978, is currently an adjunct profesor at Western Carolina. He was a visiting scholar at Duke and a lecturer at UNC from 1978-1982. Fobes visit was sponsored by the World Peace Through World Law Association and the Campus Y. IX8BCC m mur By LEIGH WILLIAMS Staff Writer Authorities yesterday charged two brothers from Pittsboro with the shooting death of UNC senior Thomas Perry Zimmerman on Monday. According to a statement issued by the Orange County Sheriffs Depart ment yesterday, officials charged Steven Wallace Sanders of Rt. I, Box 49-A, Pittsboro, with first-degree murder. Sanders was arrested at 4 a.m. yesterday by Orange and Chatham counties sheriffs departments. Sanders, a cook, is being held in Chatham County Jail without bond. A first-appearance hearing is scheduled in Orange County District Court today. A spokesman for the Orange County Sheriffs Department said last night that Richard Anthony Sanders, 21, was also arrested yesterday.

Kepley said the campaign had been so successful it would end early, on Sunday Feb. 10, instead of Feb. 13 as planned. As of Feb. 6, 1 , 1 50 pledges had been collected from about 3,000 seniors contacted, about 38 percent, he said. He called that figure "extremely, extremely high. Most campaigns like this you get about 20 percent." Kepley said $80,000 was collected on the campaign's first night, and last year's record, formerly the largest class gift ever made to a university in this country, was passed on the second night. ( "When we said it's up to (the seniors), they took the ball and ran with it," he said. One concern of some seniors is what will be done with the money that has surpassed the goal. Kepley said, "It would go toward improving the gifts we've already got." He explained that the gift, a combination of memorial markers and a sculpture, could be improved by getting better materials, a better artist for the sculpture, more markers or any number of things that would be left up to a Chancellor's committee to decide. Kepley emphasized that the 400-500 seniors who haven't been contacted yet should still pledge despite the over whelming success of the campaign so far. "While we have these figures, they aren't confirmed until we receive that first $10 (initial pledge payment)," he said. The amount of money the campaign will actually bring in can pretty accu- ilifil s , WW. X ) (V, Former Deputy Director General idea. Dostoevski este cas leading up to the arrests today. Steven Sanders has other charges pending against him in Chatham County, officials said. He is charged with second-degree burglary and lar centy of a vehicle in connection with the Jan. 17 theft of some firearms, camera equipment and a 1982 Saab. The car has been recovered, Chatham County authorities said. Zimmerman was killed Monday night during a visit to friends at Hilltop Trailer Court, Lot 35, outside Chapel Hill. The three residents of the trailer, UNC junior James Robert Youngman, 22, of Raleigh, William H. Bullock and Robert Wimberly III, 22, told the Orange County Sheriffs Department that two men wearing ski masks entered the trailer at about 8:30 p.m., demanded money, then beat the four men, shoot ing Zimmerman as they left. Kepley said the campaign had been so successful it would end early, on Sun day, Feb. 10, instead of Feb. 13 as planned. As of Feb. 6, 1,150 pledges had been collected from about 3,000 seniors contacted, about 38 percent, he said. rately be predicted by how many people send in the initial payment, he said, explaining that has been the experience of the Carolina Fund, which helped with class gifts, in the past. Kepley attributed the success of the campaign to a large amount of input from the seniors, hard work on the part of people who worked on the campaign and the efforts of the class officers and the Carolina Fund. The campaign even received a national plug by Willard Scott on NBC's Today show after the senior class sent him a T-shirt. The class has contacted Michael Jordan, who would have graduated with the class in May, about donating. Kepley said Jordan seemed excited about it when he was visiting here for the UNC-Duke game. "We sent the infromation to his agent, and it will be up to his agent to discuss it with Michael," he said, adding that Jordan had only been asked to donate the same amount as everyone else, $160 to be collected over a five year period. Kepley said he did not know if next year's senior class would be intimidated by the size of this year's class gift. "Tell them to go for it next year," he said. "Tell them to try that much harder." He said no one expected the cam paign to be this successful. "It still hasn't hit me how well we've done," he said. - v DIHCii.ie'4 Ledlord John Fobes spoke in Gerrard Hall e " - v f X: V- a
