Black Ink* December, 1971 Will the real Tar Heels please stand up Introducing . . . I A , 1 Roger Jamison Robert McAdoo and tcelcoming hack by Warren Garson, Jr. Sports Editor Joining returning letterman Bill Chamberlain on Carolina’s basketball team this year are two new players, Robert McAdoo and Roger Jamison. McAdoo, a native of Greensboro, is a junior and the first junior college transfer ever recruited by Carolina in Dean Smith’s time as head coach. Transferring from Vincennes Junior College McAdoo averaged 25 points per game last season. He was also a star for the U.S. team in the Pan American games last summer. McAdoo, who stands 6’9”, has already proved his value to the Carolina team by leading the scores in the Carolina — Pittsburgh game on Dec. 4. A sociology major, McAdoo’s post school ambition is pro-basketball. Also hailing from Greensboro is Roger Jamison, a junior transfer form Brevard College, where he was star player. Jamison has indicated that he will also become a valuable asset to Carolina. His main drawback at present is his unfamiliarity with the Carolina system, but we have faith that he will soon catch up and take his reserved place in the line of Carolina stars. Bill Chamberlain, who was voted the Most Valuable Player in the NIT last year. is a senior this year. Although his mark on Carolina has already been imprinted, Bill has shown thus far his determination to make it much more outstanding. A sociology major, Bill is undecided on a career following graduation, but whatever his choice is, he will be a success, enhanced by his career of fine ball playing at Carolina. These players have already indicated their determination to be recognized as the backbone of Carolina basketball. Spurred on by their determination to make it as blacks in a white world, as well as their love for the game, these three Brothers will, without a doubt, prove to be the true Tarheels. Also joining the Carolina basketball roster this year are freshmen Ray Harrison, Donald Washington, Cedric Russell, Carol Thompson, and Charles Fayton. Harrison and Washington, both of whom were recruited by Carolina made their debut in the Blue-White game in November. All of them have shown great potential in becoming leading players in the coming years at Carolina. The staff of the Black Ink wishes to welcome these newcomers as well as welcoming back Bill Chamberlain, and would also like to take this opportunity “to urge all black students especially, to go out and support our Brothers at every possible chance. No Black coaches Bill Chamberlain by Warren Carson, Jr. Sports Editor Again the University of North Carolina has ignored the needs of Black students on this campus. On December 7, an addition was made to the Carolina football staff. As this addition was not a Black, 1 saw another example of just how unthinking these people can be. Not that this is such a pressing issue, but my reasons for proposing Black coaches are quite obvious. First, if there are Black players, then why not have Black coaches? But then again, even if Ca;olina had no Black athletes, why not have Black coaches? There are some Black coaches who are probably more capable of helping lead Carolina to the winner’s circle, since this is apparently their major goal. Since the people who make these choices continue to refuse recognition of what we Black students want on this campus on their own initiative, I propose a Black Advisory Committee to be formed, functioning in the area of suggesting, and demanding if necessary, our wants and needs to the administration. Again, this matter of hiring Black coaches might have been overlooked due to the dizziness on the part of Bill Dooley and others involved in making these decision, it is for the prevention of being overlooked that we should go to them and “lay it on the line!”
