His face was sweaty. Even his tie was sweaty. "This place is hotter than Carmichael ever was," he said. Smith's dapper image had good reason to be cracked a bit. In a game that had more twists and shouts than any Beatles song, North Carolina Game decided on defense 5 finally put away a scrappy Duke team with a 12-0 run in the games final three minutes to take an 85 77 victory in a pulsating Atlantic Coast Conference game at Cameron Indoor Stadium Saturday. The Tar Heels' victory, pushing their record to 13-1 and their win streak to 11, accomplished several milestones. It ended a 21 -game home win streak for the Blue Devils, gave UNC a tie for the early ACC lead with Clemson at 2-0 and reaffirmed the fact that the Tar Heels down the stretch are perhaps the toughest team in college basketball. The game wasn't decided until the last 3:17, when the UNC bench strength finally paid dividends. Duke's John Smith, whose common name belies his uncommon basket ball talents, scored his 22nd point to give the Blue Devils a 72-71 lead. Duke would not score again until there were nine seconds left. "They have so many horses that just keep coming at you," said Duke's Danny Ferry, who fouled out with 3:29 left. "We were a little tired." Meanwhile, the Tar Heels kept going full-throttle. Jeff Lebo's three pointer gave UNC a 74-72 margin, and Steve Bucknall hit from inside to stretch the lead to four. Then came perhaps the biggest basket of the game. Joe Wolf missed a shot, and J.R. Reid pulled down the rebound, fell backwards to his right while being fouled and looped up an off-balance half-hook shot that miraculously banked in. The UNC bench exploded in glee, as Reid bounded over and slapped a half dozen high 10s. When asked later if he would have rather Reid passed the ball back outside, Smith said, "Oh, yes. 1 was See DUKE page 5 Bailey to run for SBP By JEAN LUTES Assistant University Editor Junior Brian Bailey, an economics major from Charlotte, has announced his candidacy for student body president. If elected, Bailey said he would lead a "back-to-campus" administra tion, bringing the focus back from world issues to specific problems on campus. Although paying attention to world issues like divestment is important, Bailey said, campus problems are often overlooked. In the student government administra tions of the past five years, campus issues were more important than in the present adminstration, he said. Bailey said he wants to improve transportation between North and South campuses. "If we're going to put people on South Campus, the least we can do is constantly be working to improve that transpor tation route," he said. Establishing a representative branch of student government to find new ideas is another priority, he said. "Everybody talks about how the administration won't listen to stu dent government," he said. "But I think the administration would listen more if student government would listen more to students first." Bailey said a representative branch would allow more student opinions to be heard by the executive branch of Student Government, where the L & o O " i O P j uu&Mat.

"The problems that exist on-campus aren't being found by student govern ment," he said. "The feelers aren't out." Also, Bailey said he wants to extend library hours, increase cam pus security and improve parking on-campus. Since a new parking deck on South Campus is being planned, Student Government should ensure that students won't lose the North Campus parking spaces they already have, he said. Student government needs to ask students not only what they think about problems, but also what they think the problems are, Bailey said. Bailey is a Student Congress representative for Dist. 1 7, and he worked for former Student Body President Patricia Wallace for1 about 10 months as chairman of the intercollegiate relations committee. fx:, j: . f , H " r A -f, ' A' A 4 - hi : There's trouble till the robins come.

Smith Activities Center opened a year that offered fans some of the best games in collegiate and profes sional basketball and some of the biggest names in the recording industry. But it was a year of adjustment for Smith Center administrators. "It was a year of getting acquainted with the building, the equipment and the staff," said Steve Camp, Smith Center director. "But it probably isn't really fair to say we've operated for a full year. We opened for basketball, but construc tion was not complete." Camp said the Smith Center Weinberger ByJIMZOOK Editot WASHINGTON - After two consecutive years of decreased defense spending, the United States cannot afford another such reduc tion. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said Friday. "What you do when you cut your defense budgets back is take a chance," Weinberger said. "It's exactly like sharply reducing or eliminating insurance policies. It just adds to the risk because it adds to the Soviet belief that they could make a successful attack and that weakens deterrence." Weinberger made his comments before a group of a dozen college editors at the Pentagon.

UNC's only daily, newspaper offers experience in all aspects of dievetopnim att NCSU By JO FLEISCHER Assistant University Editor The UNC-system Board of Gov ernors Friday approved tentative plans for N.C. State University's Centennial campus, a 780-acre tract given to NCSU by the Council of State. With the approval, the board asserted its control over the aca demic as well as the physical devel opment of the site. In its regular meeting Friday the board passed its committee's report for a textile facility and another unspecified research facility to be incorporated into the final plans. The action paves the way for a request of funds from the N.C. General Assembly. In other action, the board approved President CD. Spangler's appointment of Richard R. Eakin as chancellor of East Carolina Univer sity. Wyndham Robertson, acting vice president of communications, told of efforts to inform high school students of stricter UNC-system admission standards. Also, Gary Mauney, NCSU's student body president, appraised the board of students' general concerns. The Centennial campus will com bine classrooms and laboratories, private research facilities, commer cial development and student hous ing on the site of the former Dorthea Dix property next to the campus, which was given to NCSU under former Governor Jim Hunt. The Centennial Campus plan stipulates NCSU must have the board's and the Council of State's approval for any real estate transac tions. Any sale of the property to private intrests is prohibited, and all management or consultant relation ships with outside interests must be contracted not on a partnership basis. Spangler said the plan was in accordance with these stipulations. After the meeting Spangler told reporters the board supported the Centennial Campus plan and wanted to help in its development. "They're Dean Dome Bowles; John Swofford, UNC athletic director; and Ernie Wil liamson, Educational Founda tion executive vice president, began what was to be the most successful fund-raising project in intercollegiate athletic history. To raise money, Bowles, Swof ford, Williamson and UNC Head Coach Dean Smith traveled See HISTORY page 4 And the work continues a year later. Camp said construction workers are on the site every day. Camp also said that the few for defense defense, Weinberger implored the Congress not to cut from the budget. He would not speculate on its prospects, but did say that the proposed increases were necessary to continue the modernization of the armed forces.

"(The board has) great assets they can bring to the table and they want to bring their ideas into it." The appointment of ECU's chan cellor came after a 10-month search. Spangler chose the chancellor from two candidates recommended by the ECU Board of Trustees's search committee. Eakin, the former vice president for planning and budgeting at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, was selected for the $90,000-a-year post after former Chancellor John H. Howell retired after four years. Ralph Kensey, chairman of the search committee, told the board the the committee received 186 applica tions after it sought recommenda tions from ECU's trustees, faculty senate, student groups and 700 others. A subcommittee visited the cam puses of six finalists, and in November two finalists were invited to ECU to meet with University groups. The search committee recommended both candidates to Spangler, who chose Howell over Gregory M. St. Lawrence O'Brien, provost of the University of South Florida at Tampa. Spangler said that he was pleased to select a chancellor for the first time, as former President William Friday had done 30 times during his 31 -year presidency. The Board of Governors supported the appoint ment unanimously. "1 accept this chancellorship with humility and hope 111 be able to earn the trust you have placed in me," said Eakin, who had been invited to the meeting in anticipation of his selection.
