Wolfpack blows out Tar Heels early, 98-88
By MIKE BERARDINO
Senior Writer
RALEIGH Randy Wiel knew
North Carolina was in trouble Thurs
day night when N.C. State forward
Chucky Brown walked up to the Tar
Heel assistant coach before the game
and calmly said, "This will make our
season."
Brown, a 6-foot-7 senior, then
proceeded to make good on his
prediction, posting career highs of 29
points and 16 rebounds to lead the
super-charged Wolfpack to a 98-88
stomping of seventh-ranked UNC.
"(NCSU) exposed a lot of our
weaknesses that we will have to keep
working on and try to hide a little
better," UNC head coach Dean Smith
said. "We are a good basketball team
that I hope gets better."

About 1 ,000 UNC students had not
been vaccinated for measles by 4 p.m.
on Thursday, the last day of mass
measles vaccinations on campus,
according to Elaine Thomas, Orange
County immunity consultant.
Professors were given class rolls
Thursday with the names of students
who had not been inoculated and
could not be admitted to class.
Professors said most of the students
who had not been vaccinated did not
come to class. "No, 1 didn't have to
remove anybody from my classes,"
said Arthur Benavie, a professor of
economics. "About a half a dozen
people were absent and they were the
ones on the list."
Edward Johnson, professor of
psychology, said4 "I only had to
remove one person from my class
today (Thursday), but tomorrow
(Friday) I will have to remove about
five if they don't receive their
vaccinations."
: Although the University will not
continue to conduct a large-scale
immunization effort, the Student
Health Service will continue to
immunize students, said Dr. Judith
Cowan, SHS director.
Students who cannot show proof
of vaccination will be asked to leave
University housing by 5 p.m. today.
Housing department officials said
Thursday that the number of students
asked to leave should be low. "As of
Teachers to protest
planned pay freeze
By KAREN DUNN
Staff Writer
Thousands of North Carolina
public school teachers will descend
on the state capitol Tuesday to
protest Gov. Jim Martin's plan to
freeze their salaries.
The march is being coordinated
by the N.C. Association of Edu
cators (NCAE).
"We hope the fact that many
people are coming to Raleigh
means we will have some impact
on the pay freeze," said Tom
Husted, executive director of the
NCAE.
About 1,700 teachers and
teachers' assistants from the
Charlotte-Mecklenburg School
System, the largest public school
system in the state and 30th largest
in the country, will be going to
Raleigh for the march, said Myra
Joines, public information coor
dinator for the system.
"They have requested personal
leave days, which they apply for
five days in advance and don't
have to give a reason," she said.
"They have to pay substitutes out
of their own pocket."
The school system has about
4,200 teachers, Joines said. The
system has a permanent list of 900
the raucous Reynolds Coliseum
crowd of 12,400 with 24 points,
including a perfect 6-for-6 snowing
from three-point range as the 17th
ranked Wolfpack bolted to a 50-34
halftime bulge.
In avenging an 84-81 defeat in
Chapel Hill three weeks ago, N.C.
State improved to 15-4 overall and
a league-leading 6-2 in the ACC. The
Tar Heels meanwhile lost their second
straight to drop to 18-5 and 5-3.
"During warm-ups we couldn't
wait for the clock to tick down,"
Brown said. "When we played them
over there, Brian Howard was the
only one who had a good game. We
were determined to all do it tonight."
Just as in the loss to Clemson eight
days ago, UNC lost the battle of the
boards by a wide margin 40-27.
Brown said it was the smaller Wolf-
right now, all the students in my area
are in the inoculation process or
coming up with the proof," said Gary
Johnson, Ehringhaus area director.
Melissa Finley, Hinton James area
director, said very few on-campus
residents have not been inoculated.
"Everybody's in the process of clear
ing themselves. Only about 100
people in the residence halls alto
gether have not been vaccinated."
Students who cannot be -immunized
because of pregnancy, fever,
allergy to eggs or religious reasons
will not be allowed to attend class
unless they can show immunity.
The only option for these students
is to take a measles titer, a test for
measles antibodies, which costs $36
at the SHS laboratory. The results
usually take about five days, Cowan
said.
Officials seemed pleased with the
way the process was handled by the
three agencies: the state health
department, the Orange County
Health Department, and UNC's
Student Health Service. "Since last
Friday when we had our first initial
meeting with all the departments,
everything has gone well," Thomas
said. "The volunteers and the staff
personnel that the University and the
county have provided have been
outstanding in their efforts."
Although the majority of the
volunteers were members of Alpha
Phi Omega (APO), a service frater
nity, volunteers from other organiza
substitute teachers, so more
teachers had to be found to fill
in Tuesday.
"The Board of Education is
backing the teachers," she said.
"Educators from UNC-Charlotte
and Davidson College are willing
to substitute. It won't be a typical
school day, but it will be an
interesting one."
Few teachers from Chapel Hill
Carrboro City Schools will be
marching on Tuesday, said Kim
Hoke, assistant superintendent.
"It's not a major event for
teachers in our district, or at least
it doesn't appear to be," she said.
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro city
school system pays its teachers
better than many other state
school districts because of an
exclusive educational-fund tax in
the system, said Larry Wakeford,
co-president of the Chapel Hill
Carrboro Association of
Educators.
He said about 10 teachers from
the district plan to participate in
the march.
"We're marching on our behalf
and on behalf of all the state's
teachers," he said. "The same state

pack's attitude which enabled them
to dominate UNC's trees.
"Rebounding has a lot to do with
desire," Brown said. "I told the guys
before the game they're bigger than
us and rebounding would be the key.
Everybody had to block out and
hustle, and we did."
The opening tip bounced out of
bounds into Smith's lap, but that was
just about the last thing that went
Smith's way Thursday.
Right from Howard's three-pointer

Wolfpack sizzled. UNC never led and
quickly fell behind by double digits
at 17-7 and never came closer than
four the rest of the way.
"We played with great emotion and
enthusiasm; tonight the kids reached

tions and students also were involved.
"They called on APO last week, and
we looked through student records
and figured out which, students
needed the vaccine and mailed the
letters as well," said Susan Wallace,
volunteer coordinator and a sopho
more from Maiden.
"The housing department has been
a great help in getting some of the
staff here, by encouraging RAs
(resident assistants) to come and
posting signs asking for volunteers."
On Monday, 9,956 students needed
to be vaccinated, and about 2,500
students were vaccinated each day.
The state took special precautions
in dealing with the virus because it
is highly contagious, Thomas said.
"There have been cases in other states
where the virus has been able to
spread quickly and we will be pre
pared to take action if another case
were to arise as was the case at (N.C.)
State," Thomas said.
Lincoln Scott, a physician at SHS,
said this variety of measles is espe
cially dangerous. "Rubeola (red
measles) is especially dangerous in
older people. There are higher instan
ces of encephalitis and pneumonia
and a greater chance of complications
as a result."
Only one case has been reported
in Orange County, and that was at
UNC.
Students said they were satisfied

Candidates discuss academic issues
By JENNY CLONINGER
Assistant University Editor
and JENNIFER WING
Staff Writer
Candidates for student body pres
ident and editor of The Daily Tar
Heel answered questions at a forum
Thursday sponsored by the Associ
ation of International Students
(AIS).
Rod Bell, Trey Loughran, Kevin
Sisson and Brien Lewis were the
student body presidential candidates
present at the forum.
The candidates addressed the issue
of academics at UNC, including the
perspective system, teaching assis
tants (TAs) and faculty sabbaticals
and salaries.
Bell, a junior from Miami who filed
for candidacy Thursday, said more
alumni support is crucial to improv
ing academic quality at UNC. He
proposed increasing endowments and
establishing a visiting-professor pro
gram that would allow nationally
respected teachers to teach classes at
UNC.
"I'm talking big-name teachers," he
said.
TA evaluation should be more
comprehensive and efficient, involv
ing both professors and students, Bell
said. More alumni support could also
help TAs.
"I'm not saying that all TAs are
bad," he said. "Low pay is not going
to help the situation."

should be restructured so students
will have more opportunities to take
courses they are interested in.

He suggested more core classes in
high-demand areas and larger class
rooms for classes that large numbers
of students want to take.
Sisson, a junior from Deer Park,
N.Y., said hiring more faculty
members would allow the University
to open more sections of classes.
Additional faculty would lighten
professors' course loads as well,
giving them more time for research
and publication, he said.
TA salaries should also be
increased, Sisson said.
"Being a TA is a full-time job, and
we need to get the TAs salaries that
are equal to the jobs they are doing."
Lewis, a junior from Toronto, said
establishing an academic minor
program could be a popular alterna
tive to upper-level perspective
requirements. General College per
spectives are important, he said, but
the system needs refinement.
"I don't think just hiring more
faculty is the answer," Lewis said.
Instead, a way to allow faculty more
time for research is to establish a
sabbatical program, he said.
An association of TAs coordinated
by student government could work
as a lobbying body for increased
salaries and more recognition of TA
needs, he said.
Bell said he would try to establish
a more cooperative atmosphere
between different groups on campus.

view," he said. "That's got to change."
Loughran's platform focuses on
long-range programs. Working for
the future of students at UNC is
important, as well as taking imme
diate action on issues, he said.
"We tend to always look at what
we're doing now," he said. "Let's go
beyond that."
Sisson stressed the importance of
giving student opinion more influence
on student government and on the
UNC administration.
"It's a campus for us, the students,
and we should basically control what
goes on here," he said.
Lewis said accessibility and know
ledge of student concerns would be
a major aspect of his administration.
The student body president should
listen to and represent UNC students,
he said.
"If the student body president
doesn't understand what your con
cerns are, how can he represent you?"
Lewis said.
Sharon Kebschull, the only candi
date for DTH editor, said the DTH
has more money than it needs to
operate, and she will try to return
some of the funding it receives from
student fees to Student Congress.
"We will try to give some of our
money back," she said.
Omnibus, the DTH's weekly sup
plement, will need a strong editor to
keep it alive, Kebschull said.
