Bands mesh styles
By WENDY GRADY
Staff Writer
Rather than spooking their audience,
the psychedelic rhythm and blues band
Liquid Sound and their opening act, the
acoustic duo Nikki Meets the Hibachi,
hope to effectively mesh their different
styles at the ArtsCenter's Halloween
show.
"Tuesday night should be a great
combination because their (Nikki Meets
the Hibachi's) music generates a lot of
energy without the electric sound. I
think acoustics will be a good transi
tional opening," said Liquid Sound
bassist John Bricker.
Liquid Sound, a down-to-earth yet
electric six-member band, formed while
following the Grateful Dead and play
ing in the parking lots of the Dead's
shows.
"We saw the success of the Dead and
the family involvement, and we wanted
to generate that same feeling ... After a
while we realized that we wanted to
break away and have our own style,"
said percussionist Paige Dunlap. "I feel
that music generates a certain type of
warmth, and I wanted to be creative."
The name Liquid Sound is meaning
ful to the band's style, although it was
not their original idea for the name,
Dunlap said.
"We have a real fluid, flowing type
sound, and we are going through
stages," she said. "Everyone keeps
Heels-Terps: Bad game, big
The Question, Part I: How can you
possibly justify wasting a year of eligi
bility on a talented young quarterback
in a game that is already lost, with only
three games remaining in a 1-7 season?
The Question, Part II: How can you
do it when your last three games are
against Clemson, South Carolina and
Duke games you're probably not
going to win no matter who takes the
snaps?
You can't. You shouldn't.
But they did.
The Scenario: With 5:19 remaining
in the third quarter of "Saturday the
13th: Part 7" that is, the Tar Heels'
38-0 loss to Maryland this weekend
UNC head coach Mack Brown made a
very bold move.
The Tar Heels trailed 24-0, and a
young quarterback named Burnett trot
ted onto the field. Not surprised?
Well, this guy's name was Todd
Burnett (without the "e"), and he was
supposed to be red-shirted in 1989 so
he would have three years of eligibility
remaining going into the 1990 season.

DURHAM Her usual smooth
surety couldn't hide her explosiveness
for long Sunday.
Indeed, in the first minute of the
ACC women's soccer title game against
N.C. State, Tar Heel freshman Kristine
Lilly drilled a pinpoint cross to team
mate Julie Guarnotta, whose shot was
saved. In the second minute Lilly si
phoned through three defenders before
passing to Mia Hamm, whose shot was
deflected for a corner kick.
Of course, that was just the begin
ning. Before the Tar Heel 5-3 victory
was over, Lilly scored a game-tying
goal and the game-winning goal, cre
ated a penalty kick and created the
direct kick that led to the fifth UNC
goal. All of this came from a freshman
who was back in high school in Wilton,
Conn., when the Tar Heels succumbed
on penalty kicks to the Wolfpack in last
year's ACC finale.
Revenge? "Yeah, my teammates put
that emotion in everybody over the
past few days even though I wasn't
there last year," Lilly said after the

Liquid Sound members have differ
ent musical tastes such as blues, jazz
and Zappa-style, which blend into their
own unique sound.
In addition to Bricker and Dunlap,
the band members are guitarists Cito
Giulini and John Hawthorne, drummer
Paul Hollands and keyboardist Russ
Betenbaugh.
Although Liquid Sound started out
playing Dead covers, they hate being
categorized as a Grateful Dead cover
band. "We're developing our own style
and don't try to pattern ourselves after
anyone," Dunlap said.
"Liquid Sound has been through a
lot of stages, and evolution has been
very definite. I think understanding and
communication between members is
very important right now. Musicians
need to be pushed to grow and never be
repressed."
The band also hopes to move out of
the club circuit antl step up to auditori
ums within the next 10 years, although
such a goal may be unrealistic, Bricker
said. "We really have no leads at all to
get hooked up into that scene," he said.
But Bricker is excited about tonight's
show. "It's going to be great to play at
the ArtsCenter," he said. "I think it's
one of the better clubs on the East Coast
with an incredible variety of events."

On Saturday, B urnette fumbled twice
and threw two interceptions, bringing
to seven the number of passes he has
had picked off in just 79 attempts on the
year. The cumulative totals for
Burnette's rookie year: 79 attempts, 27
completions, .342 completion percent
age, seven interceptions, 284 yards, no
touchdowns. Rough stuff. .
Enter Burnett, who found out earlier
this week that he would be the No. 2
signal-caller against the Terrapins
because of a knee injury to senior Jon

Those same teammates are mighty
glad she was there Sunday. While
Guarnotta, Hamm, senior Shannon
Higgins and several other Tar Heels
can shoot the ball with the same sheer
force, Lilly adds a new dimension.
"Kristine not only has tremendous
power on her shots, but every single
one is dangerous and on the face of the
goal," UNC head coach Anson Dor
rance said. "Geez, her first goal today I
think nicked the post and went in and
the other must have missed the post by
two inches."
Her timing on those goals was also
crucial. The first came after the Tar
Heels fell behind for the first time this
year. Lilly gathered a pass from Hig
gins 18 yards out on the right side. She
juked two defenders, leaving them to
look on the turf for the dime she turned
on, and then rocketed a high topspin
shot across the goalmouth into the back
left corner of the net.
Later, the game-winning goal exhib
ited the freshman's knack for knowing
where the ball is headed. As UNC full
back Stacey Blazo made a run into the

The duo likens its sound to that of the
Indigo Girls. "We've learned a lot from
them," said guitaristvocalist John
Gillespie.
The duo formed two years ago when
Gillespie and guitaristvocalist Elaine
Tola started playing guitar together after
meeting in a literature class.
"We were both interested in forming
an acoustic band," Tola said. "But with
John on solo and me on rhythm, the
bottom will fall out if you don't do it
right."
Nikki Meets' the Hibachi covers
songs by Prince, Sheila E. and R.E.M.
But Gillespie said Nikki Meets the
Hibachi gets better reception with their
original songs than with cover tunes.
"That way at least we realize that
people really like us," he said.
The duo has a five-song EP coming
out soon that they recorded last sum
mer. According to Tola, "That's some
thing we're really looking forward to."
Gillespie and Tola, both UNC stu
dents, each hope to make Nikki Meets
the Hibachi a full-time job when they
graduate.
Liquid Sound and Nikki Meets the
Hibachi will perform at 10 p.m. at the
ArtsCenter at 300-G E. Main St. in
Carrboro. Admission is $6, with a $1

and we felt like we have to find a
quarterback to lead our football team,"
the Tar Heels' second-year coach said
after the game. "So, we needed to put
Todd in there and look and see what we
can do to try to stir something up the
next (three) weeks to try to win some
football games."
If you think you were surprised to
see number 15 out there Saturday,
imagine what he was thinking as he
faced a blitzing Maryland defense that
knew he was going to throw on almost
every down.
"I was expecting a red-shirt year,"
Burnett said after the game. "But, most
importantly, I wanted to win. I don't
regret giving up my red-shirt if it gives
us a better opportunity to win."
Burnett threw 16 times against
Maryland, completing eight for 77 yards
and three interceptions. Not too im
pressive. But even if he is the most capable QB
on the UNC roster right now (he proba
bly is), that is not enough of a reason to
throw away his second year of eligibil
ity. It was time for Brown and the UNC
coaching staff to play out the string
left corner, Lilly instinctively drifted
back to the vacated space. And when
Blazo's cross was fisted away by the
Wolfpack keeper, it bounded to Lilly
who one-timed it into the ceiling of the
net from 23 yards out.
"I was just covering Stacey 's space,
and when I saw I had a shot I wanted to
put it high because I knew the goalie
was out," Lilly said.
Unlike Hamm, who pursues and
pounces on the ball with firecracker
speed, the 5-foot-4 Lilly's gliding style
disguises the threat of her speed until
she spins and fires her shot.
"Kristine is so easy to play with,"
Hamm said on Sunday. "It's easy to
read what she wants to do. She's got the
athletic ability and athleticism to take
the ball all the way across the field."
Lilly and Hamm have played with
each other for two-and-a-half years on
the U.S. national team, so Hamm has
had ample time to get used to Lilly's
runs parallel to the net. With a little
more luck on Sunday, two of those
meandering runs would have resulted
in two more UNC scores.

Halloween gets weirder every year.
In the past, folks dressed up as
ghosts, witches, fairies and pump

recently for All Hallow's Eve knows
these costumes are old hat.

too. "My favorite was this guy who

they were poisoned."

On the first, with 45 seconds left in
the first half and a 2-2 score, Lilly
squeezed through two defenders in the
penalty box and was about to turn and
fire when she was pulled down from
behind. A penalty kick was called, but
Higgins ensuing attempt was saved.
And with 28 minutes remaining, Lilly
gathered a rebound, pushed the ball

The red-hot UNC volleyball team
looks to extend its streaks tonight at
7:30, when UNC-Charlotte invades
Carmichael Auditorium for a non-conference
matchup.
North Carolina has won eight of its
last nine matches and had won seven in
a row prior to an Oct. 22 loss at William
& Mary. Since then the Tar Heels have
avenged an earlier loss to Duke. UNC
is tied with Clemson for the ACC lead
at 3-0 and stands 14-6 overall.
The Lady 49ers are somewhat of a
mystery for the Tar Heel coaching staff,
but UNC assistant coach Eddie Mat
thews is wary of the UNCC defense.
"Charlotte plays really good de
fense," Matthews said. "Hardly any
thing you hit at them will touch the
floor because they're scrappy and al
ways diving for the ball."
Matthews said that the key to the Tar

Grace Sink, a senior geography

Sink said she would probably brave
the party scene herself tonight. "I'm
thinking about going as Cher. A friend
of mine wants to go as Sonny, but I'm
not sure if we're going to do it yet."
Lee Shapiro, director of the More
head Planetarium, also isn't sure what
to wear. "I just don't know if I'll get
dressed up."
Shapiro, who coaches a soccer team
in Chapel Hill's recreational league,
said he may dress up for the team's
practice Halloween day.
"We have a tradition of dressing up
for that practice. Tuesday's (practice)
may be a bizzare looking one. I just
may have on some grisly face."

COLLEGE PARK, Md. Big
plays. They make some teams, and
they can break some teams, too. North
Carolina learned this painful lesson
Saturday afternoon against a Mary
land Terrapin team that could do
nothing except make big plays.
Perhaps no play was bigger than
the performance by the Terrapin
defensive line to crush any hopes of
a Tar Heel comeback.
Here's the scenario: The Tar Heels
were driving toward the Maryland
goal. Having already converted one
fourth-down attempt, UNC lined up
for a field-goal attempt from the
Maryland 13 yard line.
The ball was snapped to Scott
McAlister for the hold, and kicker
Clint Gwaltney started forward.
Running back-turned-defensive back
Torin Dorn managed to slip unno
ticed behind all the action, and
McAlister flipped the ball to Dorn as
he passed by. North Carolina's most
creative play in recent memory gained
1 1 yards to the Maryland two yard
line, and the Tar Heels were knock
ing on Maryland's door.
That knock was answered in con
vincing fashion as theTerps slammed
the door on UNC. Three rushing plays
by the Tar Heels netted one yard, and
freshman quarterback Chuckie
Burnette was looking at a tough
fourth-and-goal situation.
Even the Terrapin mascot knew
what the next play would be. B urnette
fumbled the snap, picked it up and
lost five yards.
More importantly, the momentum
of the contest shifted completely in
readies for UNCC
Heels' recent turnaround has been an
emphasis on better defensive play, as
well.
"We don't really feel that we have a
problem with our offense," he said.
"Our defense has really set up our of
fense well in our past few games, espe
cially against Duke (a four-game vic
tory). We need to continue to play
kamikaze defense to be successful
headed into our last few conference
games."
Matthews credited the team as a
whole for playing well together and
noted that senior outside hitter Sharon
German recently was honored as the
conference player of the week for two
consecutive weeks.
Matthews also lauded the play of
junior outside hitter Liz Berg.
"Lizzie had a really nice game for us
against Duke," Matthews said. "Duke
just couldn't quite find any ways of
stopping her."

like in the movie "The Fly.' I think
he was supposed to be a beetle. It was
really gross."
A costume seen by political sci
ence major Chris Robinson may top
or perhaps squash the beetle. "It
was a guy dressed as a puddle of
vomit," Robinson said with a laugh.
Robinson doesn't usually dress up
for Halloween and this year would be
no different for him. "I might go out
and watch people, though."
Some do more than watch. Jon
athan Briggs, a doctoral student in
French, entered himself and his date
in a costume contest. "I went out
dressed as Mozart, and my date was
dressed as Scarlet O'Hara. We took
second place for originality."
Briggs didn't see it himself, but he
said the weirdest costume he ever
heard of belonged to a medical stu
dent friend of his. "It was a generic
condom machine. Some friends of
mine went with him to a party, and
they said it was easily the best."
For many, no present-day
costume's cleverness can substitute
for the charm of a traditional getup.
"I once dressed up as a pumpkin,"
said University Public Relations
Director Ted Bonus. "I copied it from
someone else. I thought it was such a
creative idea. I even had a stem on my
head."
Maryland's favor. Until that point,
UNC had been able to move the ball
with a little success against the Terps.
Now, the Tar Heels' confidence had
been shot, and the Maryland defense
had received a much-needed ego
booster. From that moment on, the
outcome of the game was never re
ally in doubt.
"There is no doubt in my mind that
the turning point of the game was our
goal-line stand right before the half,"
Maryland head coach Joe Kri vak said.
"Our defense just did one hell of a
job. I think when you're on the one or
two yard line, the difference is some
body making a play and somebody
not making a play. It was a game that
we needed and a game that we played
pretty well. It was a good win foius."
"You can look back at it and say
it's pretty critical because it all went
downhill after that," said UNC offen
sive lineman Pat Crowley. "They
came out in the second half pretty
fired up. We made some mistakes,
they capitalized and we were out of
the game. We can't turn the ball over
and expect to win football games."
Chief among North Carolina's
problems is the inability to establish
any kind of passing game. The
Burnett(e) Boys combined for 15
completions (on 30 attempts), 142
yards, no touchdowns and six turn
overs, including five interceptions.
As a result, the Tar Heels were
forced to run the ball by default.
"Obviously, you play some ten
dencies (of your opponent)," Krivak
said. "(North Carolina) tries to bang
it in down there. We got some pene
tration, and we made some good
plays."
German, an All-America candidate,
leads the team in kills per game at 5.06,
converting more than 46 percent of her
opportunities. Berg, who continues to
lead the team in service aces (0.55 per
game), trails only German in kills per.
game and leads in digs per game with
2.92.
Senior middle blocker Lisa Joffs is
averaging one block per game through
74 games this season, while freshman
Amy Peistrup has excelled at the setter
position with 9.19 assists per game.
But Matthews is quick to attribute
Carolina's success to teamwork a
factor that will become even more
crucial as the team nears postseason .
play.
"The team as a whole has really
come around," he said. "We are look

as we prepare for the ACC Tournament
