' , , ,'-x r y -xfc All this past week plus a couple of days IVe been thinking about what Pm gonna be writing in this space being that it's the last time I'm writing anything for The Daily Tar Heel student newspaper of the University of North Carolina as I'm graduating to a life of raucous unemployment in a couple short weeks. And it hit me as 1 was microwav ing a pizza back to warm and soggy life that being that IVe been writing and editing at this paper for three years and seven months of its 95 years of editorial freedom, I might have something interesting to say about the thing. The pizza had pepperoni and onions and was really good. But back to the Deeteeyaych. IVe had the opportunity and privilege to see a lot of athletes and coaches and fans and sports-type people in three years and seven months. IVe seen and talked to people like Jim (Ronzoni-face) Valvano, who I liked because he was Eye-talian and talked a lot and split his pants on the court. But he's also the athletic director at North Carolina State Wolf pack University, so he gets to talk to the police a lot. And I got to talk to Dean Smith All sound By JAMES SUROWIECKI Sports Editor A new story by John Updike appears in this week's New Yorker. It continues the saga of the Jewish writer Been as he visits Czechoslo vakia, journeys to Kafka's grave and hears the U.S. Ambassador's wife whisper huskily in his ear. The story is the usual Updike, that is to say brilliant. The reason I mention the story, aside from the fact that mentioning the New Yorker is the sort of literarily pretentious thing people vocvEMmrasT ME- 71V MET IS FIXVJ - nxYV-nwrr lurry Kinfi.CXX 2X5 425 C5 MM HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPECIAL! c 1 if ?4 Wmmmmm " 'Hi Manager Pat Jones with Aerobics Staff THE C YMm Be 4 Years New On April 1 8!

Dean Smith is a nice guy who smokes and says "Congratula tions" a lot. He coaches J.R. Reid, who is a nice guy with a pool table on his head. Dick Crum, being he's the football coach, is someone that 1 get to see now and then in the football season. Should get an award for breaking his leg in the out-of-bounds line of duty.

I've never officially met Woody Durham and I don't think I want to, being that he's the type of person who seems not. to mind being called Woody without having four legs and a tail. But speaking of people in the sports world in the media division like Woody is, 1 Ve met a few of them too and I would like to recognize a few of them here. and fury, signifying something have come to expect from me, is tnat it has a curiously metafictional character. At one point, as he is signing copies of his books, Bech reflects on the nature of the writer's role. He deems it not a method of changing the world, nor an instru ment of social expression. Rather, Bech sees the writer as ultimately self-indulgent. The author writes for himself, saying what he wants to say, and then attempts to guide his work safely through the dangerous waters of publishing, waters infested with unappreciative "Big laughs! Brilliant! One of the most inventive, original comedies in years".' Jot 8ICI. ABC-TV. NEW YORK "A wonderful one-of-a-kind comedy!" Mlk Clark.

GYM 933-9249 Carrboro j Mike Berardino: He's my favorite radio person for saying "Let's Go St. John's" during a Yooensee-Dook women's basketball game. And I also would like to mention the five editors IVe had while on the Deeteeyaych sports desk. In order of the first to the last one they are: Mike Desisti: He impressed me for telling me how a ham biscuit was American and an Egg McMuffin was continental because it was made on an English muffin with Canadian bacon while we were running out of gas in his car half way through the state of West Virginia. Frank Kennedy: A tall skinny type of dude who used the word "geek" a lot. He fired a girl from the sports staff because he said she wanted his six-fpot-two, one hundred and forty pound body. Lee Roberts: He earned my eter nal respect when he went to interview an injured basketball player in the hospital only to be turned away from the sick bed with the words: "F the Daily Tar Heel." Scott Fowler: He always used to smile and laugh a lot like he knew something you didn't that made him happy. Used to say "Sweet" in a way that made him sound like he meant it. editors anxious to cut prose. This is a vision of writing which strikes home, which unerringly finds the heart of the act of creation. When I write, at least when I write about things that matter to me, I do so informed by my own experience. The self-indulgence of writing is what lends it authority and fire. As I delight in the play of form, and take joy from language, I am self indulgent. And I am so even as 1 attempt to write about a subject which has meaning apart from my efforts.' Sports often provides that mean ing. I quickly tire of hearing how unimportant sports are, how these AMERICAN V CANCER f SOCIETY TWp r)tnptrtrnent nf I Jniuerzitti f-fnucinrr Diuicinn 4 of Student Affairs would like to thank the following University of North Carolina faculty members for their time and contributions with regards to programming in the University's residence halls. Dr. Jean Desaix Dr. Richard Richardson Dr. Paul Fiddleman Dr. Raleigh Mann Dr. Maryann Farthing Dr. Nancy Hyer Dr. James Leutze Dr. Lawrence Rosenfeld Dr. Arthur Goldsmith Dr. Barry Burns Dr. Koeppe We realize that this list is not all inclusive. Due to time constraints and paper flow, some faculty members have inadvertently been left off the list. We apoligize, and offer our thanks to those individuals as well. I James Surroweeki: He says "Mar-, velous" a lot in a. way that makes: him sound like he means it. When they told him that he would be sports editor he kept on mumbling about minor league eckwivilensees and ' secondary averages. He promised me " that he would start putting footnotes -at the end of his stories being that nobody can understand the words ; he uses in them. Ionesco Fu. Lance ' McCullers Fu. Victory over communism! There's a community in Upstate New York ; that stopped trying to have baseball teams because everybody was play- ing real sports like lacrosse and 4 hockey. ' If you have news relating to the ' downfall of baseball and other ' communistic activities in your com munity, write to this paper in care of James Surroweeki. P.S. To all my editors and writers, the athletes, the coaches, the folks J in the sports information office, that really cute girl in my sociology class ; and anyone who has happened to ' read my stuff, thanks. Ain't nothin' in this whole wide world worth having if it comes for free. . . J Georgia Satellites " games we love so are but pointless exercises. For these games are anything but pointless. The passion we bring to them, to the way we play them, to the way we write and read about them, give them a magnificent importance. Sport provides some thing to hold on to, something to care about, and so demands our respect. A bit of self-indulgence before I end. The summer is about to begin. Scott Fowler heads to Louisville to take over the Kentucky basketball beat. I head to Ireland, leaving behind people I shouldn't leave. And Bob Young will be somewhere. Bob has been on the DTH sports staff four years. He's the hardest worker IVe been around since I joined up. He's made my job as sports editor infinitely easier. Hell, he's carried me. Next year should be fun. But without Bob, it won't be the same, and it's going be tough. So before he leaves, I just wanted to say thanks.
