Visitors sense the "invisible
beauty" that hovers over Chapel
Hill, but they don't understand
where it comes from, said William
Aycock, Kenan professor and
chancellor emeritus, Sunday in
Memorial Hall.
His speech was part of the
annual University Day convoca
tion to honor UNC's birthday.
"Members of the University
family know that this invisible
beauty is our heritage of integrity
and freedom," Aycock told about
300 people in "A Tribute to a
Remarkable Founding Father
and to a Remarkable Son." The
ceremony celebrated the 193rd
anniversary of the laying of the
cornerstone of Old East.

U.S. Senate candidate Terry
Sanford actively challenged his
opponent Sen. Jim Broyhill in a
debate Sunday, while Broyhill
sought to identify himself with
President Reagan's conservative
political philosophy.
The candidates met for the first
and what Broyhill calls only
debate, which was televised live from
Charlotte and sponsored by the N.C.
Broadcasters Association.
In his opening statement, Broyhill,
a Republican who was appointed to
fill the late Sen. John East's seat, said
he supported "the conservative
majority" and labeled Sanford as a
typical liberal.

as it may seem, North Carolina's 40
.30 victory over Wake Forest Satur
day afternoon was decided by
defense.
Sure, the two teams combined for
over 900 yards of total offense and
70 points. And sure, Jonathan Hall
tossed a career-best four touchdown
passes, all in the first half. And sure,
the Demon Deacons' Mike Elkins
aired it out no less than 48 times
in a never-ending bombardment of
the North Carolina secondary. But
granted all that, this game was a
matter of defensive possession
UNC had one when it counted and
Wake didn't.
The crowd of 31,350 that packed
Groves Stadium in anticipation of
an offensive bonanza pitting the
explosive passing of Air Elkins
against the relentless infantry attacks
of UNC was not disappointed.
But the fans were also treated to a
deceivingly decent defensive perfor
mance by the Tar Heels, an effort
that may have been lost in the glitzy
offensive numbers.
Time and time again, UNC's
, weeble-wobble defense (they weeble,
they wobble, but they don't fall
down) delivered in the clutch, ena
bling the Tar Heels to improve their
record to 4-0-1 overall and 2-0 in
the ACC. The Tar Heels are tied for

"Thousands have contributed,
but some have specially enriched
our heritage," Aycock said. Two
of those special contributors are
William Richardson Davie, who
laid the cornerstone of Old East,
and Frank Porter Graham, the
first president of the UNC system,
he said.
Davie, a 1787 Philadelphia
convention delegate, secured a
charter for the University as a
member of the House of Com
mons. Davie helped select UNC's
location, raise funds, choose
professors and outline a course
of study which was known at
the time as the most liberal in
America, Aycock said.
"Davie was regarded by his
contemporaries as the father of
the University," he said..
Graham, whose 100th birthday
is Tuesday, began his almost half
century on UNC's campus as a
freshman in 1905, Aycock said.
"He was assigned, as now seems
quite appropriate, a room in Old
East."
Graham was secretary of the
YMCA on campus and Dean of

ment that his campaign is about the
future. He brought up the issue of
the food and medicine tax enacted
during his term as governor. Broyhill
has attacked the issue in his
campaign.
"My opponent has seen fit to pick
out a part of my record and make
it a large part of his campaign
the tax for schools," he said. "The
tax was the most ambitious school
program in the history of North
Carolina."
Sanford said that the tax and
subsequent increase in the quality of
education brought more jobs and
industry to North Carolina. Legis
lators in 1961 showed courage in
voting for the program, which only
cost citizens an average of $ 1 8 a year
at the time, he said.

also 2-0. Wake dropped to 3-3 and
0-34
The most shining example of
defensive brilliance came late in the
first half when Danny Burmeister
and Derrick Donald snared back-to-back
interceptions of Elkins' passes.
The big plays set up two quick TD
strikes by Hall and transformed a
tenuous 14-10 Tar Heel advantage
into a solid 27-10 halftime bulge.
"We wanted to get them to throw
the ball deep instead of all that
underneath stuff," UNC defensive
coordinator Denny Marcin said.
"We felt we could hold up speedwise
with them. We wanted to get up in
their mustache and make Mike
(Elkins) think a little. 'Are they
coming with the blitz? Are they going
to play bump-and-run? Are they
going to sit back in a zone?' "
The strategy seemed to work as
Elkins, the sophomore sensation
who ranked seventh in the nation in
total offense going into Saturday's
game, was forced into several bad
decisions. Besides the two intercep
tions, the younger brother of former
UNC signal-caller Rod Elkins often
tried to force the ball into double
coverage or throw deep to a well
covered receiver. Elkins finished 21-of-48
for 297 yards and two touch
downs, a subpar outing for someone
who had completed 58 percent of his
passes prior to the UNC game.
"From a fan's standpoint, it was
a really great ballgame," a relieved
president, which

A moderator asked the candidates
questions submitted earlier by the
press.
Broyhill received the first ques
tion, which focused on his support
of Reagan, despite the president's
opposition to textile bills.
"Yes, the president and I did
disagree . . . but the administration
is working towards a better trading
agreement," he said, citing Taiwan,
Hong Kong and Japan as examples.
"My opponent struck out. There's
not any question that we missed by
only two or three votes to override
the veto, and we should've overrid
den it."
Sanford was then asked what he
would do to help farmers in the event
of another drought in North
UNC quarterback Jon Hall, who
UNC coach Dick Crum said. "We
were playing a team that had ever

"1 would help push aside the red
tape ... the administration didn't
use the tools it had, and the relief
went elsewhere," Sanford said,
referring to the drought this summer.
When asked about his vote oppos
ing sanctions against South Africa,
Broyhill said he felt they hurt the
blacks instead of helping them,
Sanford responded that it is
fortunate that Reagan's veto of the
sanctions bill was overridden. He
said it is up to the United States to
take a stand as a moral leader of
the world and speak out against
apartheid.
In the second part of the debate,

From Associated Press reports
REYKJAVIK, Iceland Presi
dent Reagan and Mikhail Gorba
chev, on the verge of an agreement
to destroy all their offensive nuclear
weapons over the next 10 years,
ended their summit in disappoint
ment Sunday over a dispute concern
ing the testing of U.S. "Star Wars"
technology.
The hangup involved the Soviets'
insistence that research on the anti
missile system be confined to labor
atory work. The restrictions, Reagan
said, "would deny to me and future
presidents for 10 years the right to
develop, test and deploy a defense
against nuclear missiles for the
people of the free world."
"This we could not and will not
do." he declared.
Gorbachev said that he made
"very serious, unprecedented conces
sions and accepted compromises that
are unprecedented," but that there
had been a "rupture" over U.S.
insistence on testing space weapons
outside the laboratory. "Who was
going to accept that?" he said. "It
would have taken a madman to
accept that."
The Iceland impasse was so com
plete that the leaders did not set a
date for a third superpower meeting,
and the future of arms control talks
was left in doubt.

criticizing the food tax, saying
Broyhill voted for a $92 billion
national tax increase.
Broyhill responded that the state
tax enacted by Sanford was not
directed at schools but to food and
medicine. All the revenue raised goes
into the general fund, so it is not
used solely for education, he said.
Broyhill asked Sanford how he
would vote on the issue of the death
penalty for some drug-related cases.
The Democrat said: "I wouldVe
gone along with the crowd to vote
on the drug bill. There's no other
way to explain that vote . . . you
voted against funds for educating
about drugs, and now all of a sudden
it's necessary to make drugs
important."

chief of staff, said he thought further
meetings were out of the question
for a while. ". . . There will not be
another summit in the near future
that I can see at this time. The Soviet$
are the ones that refused to make
the deal."
Gorbachev told reporters "the
Americans came to the meeting
empty-handed," and top Soviet
official Georgi Arbatov described
the summit here as "the dead end
to which they (the Americans) have
driven the whole issue of arms
control."
Secretary of State George Shultz
said the two sides had verbally
agreed to slash long-range missile
and bomber arsenals in half in five
years and completely by 1996. In
addition, they were prepared to
eliminate all but 100 medium-range
missiles on each side including all
those deployed in Europe during
the first five-year phase and the
balance of those in 1996, Shultz said.
"A tremendous amount of head
way was made," he told a news
conference here, "but in the end we
couldn't make it."
The problem: U.S. insistence on
testing Strategic Defense Initiative
("Star Wars") technology, to be used
a decade from now as an "insurance
policy" to prevent any enemy from
launching a successful nuclear strike,
Shultz said. ..... . .

George Plimpton is probably
envied by armchair quarterbacks
all over America, but he says his
experience shagging pucks for the
Boston Bruins, quarterbacking
for the Detroit Lions and pitching
in an All-Star game is not the stuff
of dreams it's "obvious
humiliation."
Plimpton, who will be giving
a free lecture tonight at 8 p.m.in
Memorial Hall, is the founder
and editor of the Paris Review,
a literary publication. He has
written and edited 16 books on
sports and biographies of Robert
Kennedy and Edie Sedgewick.
His sixth book, "Open Net," is
a behind-the-scenes, and a
behind-the-goalie-mask, view of
the Boston Bruins.
Plimpton became a "participa
tory journalist" in 1954 as a
matador in a bullfight staged by
Ernest Hemingway. He learned
then that there was a lot more
at stake than the glamour of big
time sports.
. It was, as Hemingway told him,
"the dark side of the moon of
Walter Mitty," a fictional, hen
pecked James Thurber character
who daydreamed to escape
reality.
Plimpton said he had fantas
ized with some confidence in his
abilities, about the chance to play
in the big leagues before finding
out the harsh realities involved.
"The result is you go through sort
of an obvious humiliation at the
hands of people who are so
obviously skillful at what they
do," he said.
"I can imagine going up to bat
against someone like (Mike) Scott
(of the Houston Astros), but if
Keith Hernandez can't do it, I
certainly can't."
The inevitable failure is well
worth the humiliation to get a
story other reporters can't, Plimp
ton said. "The best part is getting
into their sort of secret societies.
That is the most exhilarating
aspect of it," he said.
Plimpton's fascination is get
