It's an understatement to call it a favorite of the UNC college crowd. Wouldn't it be great if the golden brew could be made in your own home? Brewing beer at home is a cheaper way to drink. According to Leigh Beadle, owner of Beer Homebrewing Equipment and Supplies in Carrboro, home brewed beer costs roughly 10 cents a bottle, which makes it at least 10 times cheaper than com mercial beer. Besides the low cost. Beadle says home brew tastes better and gives people the satisfaction of making the brew themselves. "The taste can be very sim ilar," said Earl Nelson, manager of Beer Homebrewing Equip ment and Supplies. "But in general the beer people drink out of a bottle, a can or on tap is stale. Home brew is fresh. "You can put more of the good things in it like hops or malt. So at little cost you can have a rich-tasting European beer or a light American beer," Nelson said. "You can taylor it to your own tastes instead of having a brewery dictating them,'" Beadle said. According to Beadle, interest in home brewing grew during the depression when it was ille gal to make beer. "That's when home brewing got its bad repu tation for being cidery and bitter." Since that time, techniques and equipment have improved. Home brewing is popular on an international basis. In areas such as Canada and Europe it is almost a tradition, and on the West Coast and in the Midwest of the United States the demand for supplies is steadily increas ing. In the Southeast demand is not that large, but it is great enough to have produced the Triangle Homebrewers League. The League began a few months ago and meets in Car JXtysaunqfora-' Now there's more mows. j amrirmnnrai 4mi , TTrnnininrr f.:.,. r, r,-, , ,r. f-Trrrr:- ' ' ' 4 rh Petoponriesran War -A Conflict of Cultures Scru - a vk it y ot sfrJdwrv nf trained from boyhood U'igM k.rt ndtor ttv-ifjt Atftam vxtyol rtrt.rtftin pursuit c- o oauCy. tmih. and ; f""1 : zl . n ereat rty m whatever m rT J r,.,,., .,1.'., .LI; ii ,U JLLJr " -J MMttliM unarms.

Beadle himself is partially responsible for the popularity of home brewing. In 1 97 1, he wrote BREW IT YOURSELF, which sold 100,000 copies its first year published. Since then. Nelson said, there haven't been any new innovations in home brewing. Beadle became interested in home brewing while in the Air Force. "I tasted some a sergeant had made and liked it, but thought it could be done better. So I tinkered with it until I came up with a recipe that was better than most on the market. 1 got tired of people asking me how to make it so 1 wrote a book." Beadle also owns the only brewery in the world that manu factures ingredients for home brewing. "I was buying ingre dients for home brewing from England, but I thought it could be done better. So in 1978 1 started my own brewery." The product Beadle's brewery produces is the basis of the home-brewing process. "We make malt extract, evaporate the water so there's a syrup left, and then we can it. The customer only adds water, yeast, hops, and lets it ferment," Beadle said. Superbrau, the product Bea dle produces, sells for about five dollars a can and makes 55 bot tles or two cases of beer per can. The process involves buying the malt syrup or Superbrau, boiling it and adding sugar, hops, or more malt, then adding enough water to make five gal lons of beer and letting it all cool. After it's cooled, the mixture is placed in an airtight vessel. In the airtight container the beer ferments for a week; then more sugar is added and the beer is siphoned into bottles where it ages for two to three weeks, after which it's ready to be refrigerated and enjoyed. The entire operation, including equipment, costs approximately S30. National Kidney Foundation of North Carolina Inc. (919)929-7181 IT A (QTT For Seniors To Bmy through life a nah f..

The Florida native likes to pla the baseline, "IH stay on the basehn but if a ball comes closer to the net HI go and get it," he said. As Lend does. Chambers picks and chooses; his net-rushing, preferring instead to wait back at the baseline and pass his opponent or force him into an;; error. These tactics have led the two- i time UNC captain toa 134-56overall singles record and a 121-40 doubles record for coach Allen Morris. The baseline patience also worked to perfection for Chambers when he attended Catholic High School, in his hometown of St. Petersburg, Fla.

"Adding two addi tional courts to Cobb will only worsen the problem of student parking on North Campus." Claude E.

It was obvious Chambers arrived at UNC amid great expectations. His freshman year was a fairly successful one, as the three-time letterman compiled a 37-13 singles record and a 32-11 doubles mark. But his freshman successes were a mere prelude to his fantastic sophomore season. Chambers avoided the second-year jinx by posting a 41-14, 30-13 sophomore record and advancing to the NCAA round of 16, where he lost to eventual runner , up, George Bezency of Georgia. The two-time All-ACC selection plans exist to construct 1 6-17 new spaces behind Fetzer Gym, he said. The University is also considering construction of an access road ponnecting Manning Drive to a proposed parking deck behind Craige Residence Hall. I "The parking lot behind Hinton lames (where the courts now stand) vould only serve as an interim kcility until the new parking deck puld be built," Swecker said. "It (the fccess road) is still a long-range plan American Hoart Association s. J :4 r ,.

After winning the No. 2 ACC singles title in 1985, Chambers had a somewhat disappointing junior season which saw him go 25-18, 28 8. But this past fall Chambers stood up to all advance billings, going 12 3 in singles and teaming with Eddie Stewart to post a phenomenal 17 1 fall doubles record. The pair also won the Southern Intercollegiate Championships, the first UNC victory there in 1 1 years. This spring saw Chambers start out 2-6, and many UNC tennis supporters were wondering what was wrong. Bad weather and lack of playing were the answer, according to head coach Allen Morris. "Jeff had a bad start and he needs to play a lot to keep his game in shape," Morris said. "The ice and snow kept us out of practice for a week and then we had to go to Texas." The Texas trip was not a memor able one for Chambers. He lost to Texas' Royce Deppe in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2. Since that crushing defeat, Chambers has been able to play often and play well, posting a 17-1 mark and reminding many of the form that saw him capture the St. Petersburg's Amateur Athlete of the Year in 1982. Chambers, lithe at 6-2, 165 pounds, is tri-captain along with doubles partner Eddie Stewart and Mark DeMattheis. But it is Chambers who is looked upon as the team leader. Team co-manager Mike Fitzsimmons said he felt Chambers was the team's leader as well as a pretty fair tennis player. "I feel Jeff is a great player and he treats from page 1 that hasn't been fully developed yet." Kelly Clark, Residence Hall Asso ciation president, said Wednesday that the University keeps pushing students farther south. "Pretty soon it (the University) will push students so far south that the only reason they will come to the main part of campus will be to go to classes," Clark said. He said the most important prob lem was that key student leaders were not been properly informed about the proposal. "For all 1 know, students could have come back next fall to find two new tennis courts at "Cobb, and a new parking lot behind Hinton James." Clark said. To get ahead in school, it helps if you roommate. Like a Macintosh personal computer. In life after college you can take this brilliant roommate with you. And now there are two models to choose from. The Macintosh Plus, which comes with one 800K disk drive and up to four megebytes of memory. And the Macintosh SE. Which comes with either two built-in 800K drives, or one drive and an internal 20-megabyte hard disk As well as a choice of keyboards. The SE also has an expansion slot, so you can add a card that lets you share information over a campus-wide network. Or another that lets you run MS-DOS programs. Whichever Macintosh you choose, you can use the latest, most advanced software. And that means you'll be able to work faster, better and smarter. 0 No two ways about it. The power to be your best.

Coach Morris shared Fitzsim mons' sentiments. "Jeffs been a strong member of the team. A good leader, the guys all respect him," he said. "Off court, he's married and a bit shy and we don't see him a lot. But the guys all like him and I do too." Chambers takes all this casually, saying he just tries to lead by example. The psychology major says he would like to try his hand at professional tennis after he graduates this spring. "I feel confident that 111 be successful in the pros and con tinue to improve." The professional tour is definitely within Chambers' reach although coach Morris feels there are parts of his game still needing refinement. "I think his strokes are strong and his competitiveness, he's the most competitive guy IVe ever had," Morris said with a laugh. "Even in practice the kid hates to lose. But hell do well as a pro. His serve and volley are his only real weak points, but they are constantly improving." Chambers, who wed UNC dis tance runner Karol Dorsett in 1984, will be sorely missed next season. But next season is a long way off, with the ACC Tournament coming up this weekend and a possible NCAA berth. Chambers seems primed and ready. "1 think Jeff is coming on and hell get into the NCAAs because he's in the top four in the district," Fitzsim mons said. "He can go pretty far in both tourneys, especially if he can return to his sophomore form."
