6The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, February 19, 1987 East TGnnesse layup off the break. But Reid stuck a short turnaround and Jeff Lebo, who had 10 points and 10 assists, drilled one from 3-point land to make it 13-2 just three minutes into the slaughter. "The thing I like abdut Carolina is that they play hard every minute," said ETSU coach Les Robinson. "It doesnH matter whether it's the No. 1 team or the No. 300 team, they play hard every step of the way. I appreciate a team like that." Robinson's Bucs, who painfully resembled a No. 300 team Wednes day, hung close for a while, cutting the deficit to 30-20 on a 15-foot jumper by Mark Larkey at the 7:21 mark of the first half. Soon thereaf ter, though, the floodgates swung wide open. Kenny Smith and Lebo had 3 pointers in a 14-4 run that put the Tar Heels ahead by 20 at 44-24. The rest of the half degenerated into or evolved into, depending on your point of view a dunkfest. The highest marks went to Kenny Smith for his dipsy-do- double-clutch-delicacy dunk, and to Reid for Campus Calendar The DTH Campus Calendar appears daily.

In addition to the subpar play of the basketball squad, the victory also was indicative of a trend that has raised the ire of all UNC fans, namely, the lack of crowd enthusiasm. ; Consider the following: The team's previous game against Virginia was as tight a struggle as UNC had faced in the Smith Center all , year. Yet, it was only when the game was on the line, in the waning minutes of the second half, that the fans began to cheer for the team. Many reasons have been sug gested for the lack of noise in the "House that Dean Built."They range from the oft-mentioned complaint about the size of the bjuilding to the simple dearth of competitive games. Yet, if you ask anyone on campus what the biggest cog in the wheel of crowd apathy is, they will tell you point blank that it is the alumni. Yes, the same Ram's Clubbers who raise hell and yell "Dick Crum can't coach" refuse to get excited at basketball games. But these people aren't the only ones responsible for the fact that the sound of a pin dropping on the court can be heard even in the hinterlands of Nose Bleed Country." The blame lies with everyone students and alumni alike. ! The Students "It's not, like, cool to cheer." The common perception among students is that they always do all of the cheering and the reason there isn't more noise is because they are not seated next to the court. That is completely wrong. Noise is not solely generated along courtside. In other buildings such as Kentucky's Rupp Arena and Syra cuse's Carrier Dome arenas which are larger than the Smith Center and which also seat the students behind the goals and in the upper levels the crowds are always supportive, even if the game is not close. Yet UNC students refuse to cheer. One alumnus, irked at student gripes about their lack of enthusiasm. fTaised the rhetorical question, "Where are the students?" To a "3 V Michael J.

Anyone who has been to the Smith Center and sat in a student block has noticed that the students are not truly obnoxious. Whenever someone wants to cite the exemplary college crowd, Duke almost always comes to mind. Some UNC students feel that the spirit there is terrific because the students are seated along courtside. But that's simply an invalid excuse. The reason for the Duke fans' enthusiasm is that they have no hangups about being rowdy. At North Carolina, the students wouldn't dream of making signs that say "DIE OCEAN SCUM" (in deference to ! Navy's David Robinson) or of painting their torsos blue and white. The alumni .

Many alumni feel that there should be more cheering for their alma mater. Woody Bennett, a former student from Broadway, was bold enough to allow, "There aren't enough students near the courts;" Yet, as long as the Smith Center is used for basketball, it is unlikely that the retirement community will be booted from its choice seats. Beri nett, when asked if students deserved better seating said, "No, we paid for it." j The psychological perspective ' "The team is too good for us to cheer." When asked about the problem of crowd noise, one alumnus, who i. .wished to remain anonymous, raised I '"RADIO DAYS' IS PRICELESS! IT IS ECCENTRIC, WARM, LOVING, AND BRILLIANTLY ARTICULATED.

The teams have been5 so great that the fans come here I expecting to win. They don't really ? get excited unless it is a particular rivalry or if they're scared that the team is going to lose." UNC has been so successful in the , lOSO's that the gsrr.es arc reduced ' to a ritual in which siutienti . and alumni get dressed up and come to socialize. Like the Forum in Los Angelc: - the l-nne ciena of the NBA's Lakers - the wealthy of North Carolina come to games to see and be seen. So where does that leave the issue of crowd noise? Until student atti tudes truly change, there probably will not be an appreciable rise in noise at the Dean Dome. -3 It was incorrectly reported yester day that Dr. Seong Soo Choi, who will be conducting a seminar Friday on the adaptation of physics to basketball, was a professor in the UNC physics department.
