About 15 members of Action Against Apartheid used a combina tion of speakers and songs to raise students' awareness of Biko, an anti apartheid activist and one of the founders of the black consciousness movement. On Sept. 6, 1977, South African police took Biko into custody and interrogated him.

"We're also making some renovations. ItH be a change." One major change is that Sponge's will be open seven days a week from noon to 2 a.m., he said. Live bands are not planned at this point but may be added later, Mason said. Sponge's will be a private club for members and guests. Members pay no cover charge at the door. See PURDY'S page 2 somewhat, but ' we're ready to go again," he told an audience of about 100 students. Mthobeli Guma, a UNC student from South Africa who knew Biko personally, said Biko was a deter mined fighter who continued to resist while in police custody. Several times during the rally, group members led songs dealing with oppression, such as "We Shall Overcome." In "Show Me the Way to Free dom," the students added lyrics reflecting today's situation, including "Tutu prays for freedom in South Africa now," and "Demand UNC divestment." Jimmy Ellis, a graduate student in sociology, said black consciousness is not an anti-white movement, but "the courage to be black and to be proud of what you are."

Chapel K::i, North Carolina r fl 11 (W 1 ft 11 Ci II TO JIM Tl ' O i Tl Tl A O .Mlts-'alMiiinnie By MICHAEL JACKSON Staff Writer Chancellor Christopher Fordham announced Friday that private and public funding for research to UNC topped the $100 million mark for fiscal 1986-87 for the first time in the University's history. Grants and contracts to UNC totaled $105.2 million for the year, an 11 percent increase over fiscal 1985-86 when UNC received $95.1 million. "The University in 1975 ranked 34th in terms of federal support; by 1984, 30th; 1985, 27th; and we believe that 6-87 will find us in the top 20," Fordham said at this year's first Faculty Council meeting.

(i Aj;i, . : -; Press and guest boxes on the 50 yard line of the stadium's south side will be torn down and replaced with new boxes and 2,200 additional seats in the upper deck, Gordon Ruther ford, facilities planning director, said last week.. The new press boxes will extend across the entire south side stands above the upper deck, Rutherford North Carolina moved its record to 2-1, while Tech dropped to 1-1. Senior quarterback Mark Maye was deadlier than a Lenoir taco salad, riddling the Tech secondary for a UNC-record 406 yards on 23-of-38 passing, including 296 yards and four touchdowns in the second half alone. Marriott was on the receiving end of nine Maye passes, good for three TDs and a school-record 247 yards. The final Maye-to-Marriott TD strike, a right-to-left crossing pattern from 18 yards out, accounted for the winning points with 4:32 to play. Just 2:16 earlier, the same combination had tied the game at 23-23 with a 25-yard hookup on nearly the same play. "I was just glad I had the chance to make the plays today," Marriott V 1 St ill I f flJ f II ical research funding from National Institute of Health," he said. NIH is UNC's largest source of research funding. In spite of all the research con ducted at UNC, Fordham said teach ing effort has not been sacrificed. "It is clear to me that the faculty has not, during this strong expansion of research period, neglected its emphasis on teaching excellence and teaching responsibility," he said. "In short, our emphasis on teaching has not declined; it has expanded and focused," Fordham said. "For its ability to concentrate on teaching and research simultaneously and effec tively, I extend to the faculty my admiration and appreciation." As reasons for the increase in funding, Fordham cited the quality tedHwnnm to said. In addition, a lettermen's club for former and current UNC athletes who have earned letters will be built beneath the press boxes, he said. Paul Hoolahan, athletic fitness director, said lights for late afternoon and evening games would be . installed,. but that the lights would probably need to fit certain specifications. "The BOT (Board of Trustees) has requested that the lights stay as low as possible and still be functional," he said. Renovation plans had to be mod ified because the original contracting bid was $1.5 million more than the $5.9 million estimated budget, Hool past Ted: said. "When you make all the catches you get all the attention, but I was just in the right spot at the right times. It was a whole team effort great quarterback, great line, great defense." Comebacks, like collapses, are always team efforts. That simple truth was evident in Saturday's game. With AV2 minutes left in the third quarter, Georgia Tech led 20-3 and was driving for another score. But on the 12th play of yet another time-consuming Yellow Jacket march, tailback Malcolm King tried to vault over from the one and was hit hard by UNC line backer Mitch Wike.

Another reason is the creation of a new administrative post to guide research at UNC, Fordham said. Dennis O'Connor was appointed to the position of vice chancellor for research last year. Fordham also made a plea to academic departments to concentrate on recruiting new black faculty and increasing black student recruitment.

Plans to extend press boxes across the upper decks on both sides of the stadium were part of the program, but now the program is concerned with renovating only the south side of the stadium. Officials had planned to begin the renovations last summer, but the overbidding will delay construction until after the 1987 football season. Although construction could take as long as two years, Rutherford said it will not interfere with UNC's football season. "We will specify that the contractor See STADIUM page 5 23 Three plays later, offensive lightning struck and the greatest Tar Heel comeback of the decade was set in motion. On a third-and-five from his own 7, Maye called for an "80 Dig," a long post pattern to Marriott. Dropping back several yards into his own end zone, Maye looked downfield and launched a perfect strike to Marriott, who caught the ball in stride at midfield and outraced Tech's Cedric Stal lworth and Riccardo Ingram to paydirt. That made the score 20-10 with 3:03 left in the third and gave North Carolina a new lease on life, or at least on a run at the ACC title.
