North Carolina will journey to wolves den
. JOHN HINTON
Suff Writer
The UNC bdskelball team makes an ACC
app«-arance at Reynolds Coliseum January
31 to lake a scrappy N C State squad in
Raleigh
The Wolf Pack, after staging a furious
comeback in Chapel Hill 15 days ago suc
cumbed to the Heels, 73-70 "Our kids did
a hell of a |ob, |ust like they've done in our
other away games," first year coach jim
Valvano said after the contest "We had a
chance to win, and I can't ask anything
more from them "
In that Carolina victory, powerforward
James Worthy muscled in 22 badly needed
points, 13 in the second half when the
Heel's offense was sputtering
"At the end of a close game, there's
always one player who wants the ball,"
Valvano said. "Tonight, that was James
Worthy. He was the man."
Carolina helmsman Dean Smith Is wary
of his upcoming opponents "They're a
good team," Smith said. "Walt until
February, when everybody goes to their
place"
A quick tandem of guards awaits the Tar
Heel backcourt. DeMatha High School
alumni Sidney Lowe and Derek Whitten-
burg will again operate the Pack offense.
Perimeter shooter Kenny Matthews who
canned 15 points In his outing with
Carolina will provide offensive punch
Both Lowe and Whittenburg must also
stop the playmaking of Junior polntguard
Jimmy Black who had 15 points and 6
assists. Whittenburg accounted for 4
baskets and no assists while Lowe had only
3 points and dealt out 7 assists.
In frontcourt, center Thurl Bailey, State's
leading scorer with 13 point average, along
Art Jones and Craig Watts will have a three
fold assignment.
First, these three must furnish some In
side firepower; and secondly, they must
contain UNC's awesome Inside game pac
ed by James Worthy, Sam Perkins and Al
Wood. Thirdly, State's big men must not
allow Carolina control both boards.
"Our biggest problem Is getting the re
bound," Valvano said after the first rival
meeting. 'Carolina did that; they missed a
number of Initial shots, but got It back and
hurt on follows, easy baskets." UNC had 34
rebounds to NCSU's 24.
After their visit to Carmichael
Auditorium, State fell to 1-4 in ACC play
and 8-5 overall. "We have the toughest
schedule in the ACC," Bailey said. "We're
as good as any of these teams, but we just
haven't gotten the big rebound or big basket
when we needed It."
Maybe they get the breaks on Saturday.

King was a member of the fraternity.
Harold Wallace, vice chancellor of
university affairs, told how he listened to
King as a freshman when King spoke at
Claflln College in Orangeburg, S.C. In bet
ween the beginning and end of the story, he
recited parts of three of King's most famous
speeches and received a standing ovation
after he finished.
Next, while full of emotion. Dean
Hayden B. Renwick said, "I can't talk about
this man — I can only mourn his loss," and
left the stage In tears.
The choir sang three selections. Including
"We Shall Overcome," and five members
of the Ebony Readers performed six poems
expressing honor to King and anger about
his death.
Several earlier programs were held that
day.
Vernon Russell, a UNC law student, talk
ed to a group of about 100 gathered
students and faculty members In the Pit at
noon.
"Thank you for remembering when It's so
easy to forget," he said, and proceeded to
talk of the present status of the national
holiday.
"Congress looks at It as an economic
strain," he said, 'but making Martin Luther
King's birthday a holiday would be in
tegrating the calendar as well."
After the Rev. Dundee Holt led the crowd
In a prayer, Mark Canady, chairperson of
the Black Student Movement, talked about
continuing King's work In civil rights.
"When he died, the seed he planted
became dormant," he said. He also said
that persons In the crowd should "Take the
seed and nurture It so that our children and
our children's children will realize
something of the dream," that King had
talked about In his speech during the 1963
March on Washington, D C.
Russell came back to the p>odlum and
challenged the crowd.
"We need to dedicate and resolve to
ourselves that we will preserve Dr. King's
dream " regardless of race, creed, and
religion.
C. Eric Lincoln, a professor of religion
and culture at Duke University, spoke at the
third annual Martin Luther King Jr.
Memorial Ceremony held in the afternoon
at UNC's School of Public Health.
He said that King had come from the
"legions of the disinherited" in a nation
plagued since its origin by racism, which he
called "a national sickness."
He said to a crowd of about 75 people
that racism is "so pervasive that there are no
avenues of immunity — only varying
degrees of malignancy."
LirKoln, the author of a book on King,
said, "The friends we once knew have quit
the scene," referring to American leaders in
power.
That evening about 100 persons gathered
at First Baptist Church on Roberson Street to
hear several speakers mourn the death of
the civil rights movement as well well as the
, qiyil fights leader.. ,, ^
