By LORETTA GRANTHAM and ELISA TURNER Staff Writers Authorities continue to investigate an airplane crash that killed a local father and son Tuesday near Carrboro. Pilot G. Arthur Webb, 60, of Carrboro, was killed in the burning wreckage, authorities said. His body was not identified until Wednesday. Passenger G. Arthur Webb Jr., 32, of 389 Wesley Court, Chapel Hill, died Tuesday evening in N.C. Memorial Hospital as a result of the incident. Orange County Deputy Sheriff Bruce Gornto said Wednesday that no information was available concerning the cause of the crash that occurred some three miles northwest of Carrboro. Jamie Roberts, 13, witnessed the crash as he and his brother, Jody, played in their yard on Hillsborough Road. He said the Cessna Skyhawk sailed toward their house and, in an effort to avoid it, changed directions and crashed into a nearby tree. . "He just couldn't gain enough altitude to miss that tree," Roberts said in a telephone interview Wednesday night. UI think he just gave up and let go." . Roberts said he then saw "the power lines shake and the plane catch fire." "I was the third person there, but they (authorities at the scene) wouldn't let me get too close," Roberts said. "But I still saw Chris Li Gl&UU Hogan pull the man (Webb Jr.) from the plane." W. Christopher Hogan, who could not be reached for comment Wednesday night, was quoted in Wednesday's Raleigh News and Observer as saying, "It was just a large ball - of fire when I got there." Hogan said in the article that he pulled Webb from the wreckage. "He was burning," he was quoted as saying. "I just couldn't leave him there. I told him to hold onto me and he did." Investigators at the Federal Aviation Administration and authorities at the National Transportation Safety Board were unavailable for comment Wednesday evening. By DENISE MOULTRIE Staff Writer Black cultural centers have been successful at other major universities, benefitting the universities as a whole, said BCC directors at those schools. ; , Jane Redman, director of the BCC at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, said a cultural center would "very definitely need the support of the administration from the chancellor's office down." Such centers are established through the effort of white colleges to increase black enrollment, said Tony Zamora, BCC director at Purdue and former BCC director at the University of Illinois. The Black Cultural Center at Purdue was established in 1969. "Black students marched on the administrative buildings with bricks in their hands and carried signs saying "The Fire Next Time," he said. Zamora said 500 black students were recruited at the University of Illinois in 1969. "When they got there, they found very little to relate to their black culture. They also found very few instances where blacks were employed by the university," he said. "They found that blacks weren't working in the service areas like the police force and that there was a failure of hiring black faculty and staff members." Zamora said less than 1 percent of the student population at Purdue was black. At Tennessee, black enrollment is about 1,500 out of the 25,000 total student population. At the University of Illinois, the black student population was 0.38 percent. -. - Redman said that in the late '60s and early '70s black cultural centers were in vogue. "There was a real push for black power. In 1985, it's almost the same thing," she said. "It's a little more difficult now, in the sense that people are not just focusing on black history." Black students have entered predominantly white universities without knowing about black culture, she said. Zamora said: "Black students have been misled about their status at these universities. They dont realize that 10 or 15 years ago,. ,r other students paid the price for them to be there. Students now must continue the fight." . Black students must realize that they were not admitted to major universities because they are wanted there, he said. "They're there because other students fought for that privilege. They now have an obligation to make the school respond to them." Redman said there, had been and always would be questions about the validity of the needs of black students on predominantly white campuses. "The Center aids in the retention of black students. We exist to create an environment that students would want to come into, but we also provide opportunities for them to go other places as well," she said. At Tennessee, the BCC has offered special freshman mixers with administrators and faculty, she said. "It acquaints them with the campus and organizations. It's a process of personalizing the university to them." Redman said black students were not offered special attention. "AH units on campus deal with the needs of white students with no trouble at all," she See BCC page 2 n nO n MM By BUFFIE VELLIQUETTE Staff Writer Athletes looking for an edge in competition have many avenues they might explore. Some train harder, some take vitamins by the handful, some may try illegal drugs. But there are some athletes who are starting to realize that the edge they are seeking may be all in their minds, and sport psychology can be the road map for finding that edge. In the past 25 years sport psychology has emerged as a legitimate science. As pressure to succeed grows, sport psy chologists have found that their research is helpful to those athletes who simply want to perform better, and also for those athletes who have become the casualties of the enormous amount of stress that occurs during competition. The following are actual accounts of two athletes who have used sport psychology to enhance their athletic performance. As he lies back on the carpet, he closes his eyes and imagines he sees the fairway stretching out before him. Par four, dogleg to the right. He takes a few practice swings and then steps up to the ball. He brings the club back, keeping his left arm straight, and swings down through the ball, rotating his hips. He finishes the swing, holding the club high above his head. (Bdilge iu iniid He has imagined a perfect swing, but in his mind's eye, the ball slices wildly .to the right, disappearing into the tall pine trees. He sees himself walking calmly to the ball. He doesn't have a clear shot to the green, so he imagines a little chip shot back to the fairway. First hole and he's already lost a stroke, but he hasn't lost his cool. A few years ago if that had happened in real life, he might have slammed his club into the ground or thrown it back towards his bag in disgust. His day would be ruined by one golf shot. Ten years ago, Karl (not his real name) was a junior college All American in golf. After his sophomore year he was making arrangements to transfer to UNC. He thought he could , probably win a golf scholarship, but that summer he started to get so nervous on the golf course he could hardly even pick up a club. "I got the yips. I couldn't draw the putter back I was shaking so much," he says now. Karl came to UNC anyway, hoping his anxiety would pass, but it didn't and he never got the scholarship. "I was on the roster. They expected me to play, but I couldn't do it," he says! "I got so anxious on the golf course that I didn't even want to go." Finally he just quit playing alto gether. Not that he didn't think about playing. He did. Constantly. Once in a while he'd hit a bucket of balls at the driving range, but to go out, play a round and keep score had become . impossible for him. "It really hurt a lot to think I couldnt do something I used to do," he says. From taking a sport psychology class See EDGE page 6 By LINDA MONTANARI Staff Writer Students entering Lenoir Hall Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons may have seen an unusual message taped onto the wooden cafeteria sign. Senior Laurin Willis proposed to "Dump ARA" and offered T-shirts with the familiar ban symbol, a circle with a slash through it, over the letters ARA. Willis said ARA's prices were too high for the quantity and quality of food provided. "They charge outrageous prices for what I consider food that's not fit to be eaten," he said. Servers and cashiers also act unfriendly toward the students, he said. "You go in there and they try to make you feel like they're doing you a favor by serving you," he said.

Dr. Daniel S. Kirschenbaum of Northwestern University will speak on the importance of controlling thoughts before and during compe tition. According to Dr. John Silva, associate professor of sport psychol ogy at UNC and organizer of the event, if athletes are unable to control their thoughts, the result will be erratic performance. Also speaking will be Dr. Jean Williams from the University of Arizona. Her topic will be the psychological characteristics that an athlete experiences before and dur ing an exceptional performance. She will explore whether these "peak performances" can be repeated at will, or if they are simply a pheno menon that can't be controlled by the athlete. "Dr. Williams will have informa tion that is directly based on feed back from elite athletes who have had the rare opportunity to expe rience peak performance," Silva says. Speaking on research concerning coaches will be Dr. Ronald E. Smith of the University of Washington. "A lot of people think punishment enhances performance," Silva says. Smith will discuss how coaches can learn to be supportive of their athletes without feeling like they will lose the athletes' respect. According to Silva, this approach reduces stress, and reduced stress in the competitive situation will enhance performance. The symposium, which is open to the public, is being held in conjunc tion with an executive committee meeting of the newly formed Asso ciation for the Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology, of which Silva is president. By ANDY TRINCIA State and National Editor Today my halls are silent. People come and go and look at me and marvel at the stories of the past. They say I am a symbol of all that has been achieved within the borders of our State. So be it. lama symbol. These are the words of Edwin Gill, N.C. treasurer from 1953-1977, who personified the North Carolina Capitol during the June 17, 1970 Council of State meeting. His essay, "The Capitol," depicts the historic building as the symbolic seat of the state government's executive branch. Gov. Jim Martin, whose office has been in the State Administration Building since March, will soon return to tradition, relocating his office in the 145-year-old landmark, much to the delight of former governors and other state officials. Martin will probably move on Oct. 14in an attempt to give himself more peaceful working conditions, away from the activity in the Administration Building, said Tim Pittman, Martin's press secretary. "The governor is reorganizing his senior staff, redefining some responsib ilites," Pittman said. "He thought he could be more effective if isolated from the daily flurry of events in the gov ernor's office." Pittman said Martin would move with his two secretaries and Executive Assistant Jim Lofton, but would also retain his office in the Administration Building. . "The decision makes a lot of people happy," Pittman said. "There's the historical aspect. It's ceremonial and symbolic of the governor's office. It really is a neat old office roomy with lots of nooks and crannies." , Martin's office was in the Capitol during the first two months of his term, Pittman said, but was moved to con solidate the governor's staff in one area with better access. Since its completion in 1840, the cross-shaped Capitol made of N.C. granite has housed the governor's office and has been associated with the executive branch. The tradition was " broken with the term of Gov. Robert W. Scott, who served from 1969-1973. Scott was unable to move into the Capitol because of renovations replac ing the dome. His office was located in the Administration Building and his successor, Gov. James E. Holshauser Jr., the first Republican governor of the century, decided to keep the office there even after the renovations were completed. Then followed Gov. Jim Hunt, who in 1977 went back to tradition and used the office in the Capitol for his two terms. Hunt said Wednesday that he was pleased with Martin's decision. "I'm delighted," Hunt said. "I was the . governor who originally moved back into the Capitol. It was one of my first acts as governor. I'd like to see a law requiring it." . ; , Hunt said having his office in the Capitol helped him excercise his lead ership more easily. "When people come into the walls of the Capitol and see the historic chambers, they're right there sitting in a part of history " he said. "I can't conceive of having the governor's office anywhere else, frankly." Former Gov. Dan K. Moore shared Hunt's sentiments. "It's a good decision," said Moore, governor from 1965-1969. "I think the office loses some of its dignity when not in the Capitol, the historic office of the state. A number of folks say he's doing the right thing." Triad Eure, who will begin his 50th year as secretary of state in December, said he remembered negative public reaction to Holshauser's decision in 1973, praising Martin for the decision. "I'm delighted he's moving back," Eure said. "I expressed my regrets to start with. The governor and state government should go hand in hand, like ice cream and cake." Eure said people are more delighted now that Martin's moving back into the Capitol than they were when he moved out.
