Irish Peace WASHINGTON, D.C. Hoping to soothe an agitated ally, President Clinton promised British Prime Minister John Major on Sunday that he would continue to press the Irish Republican Army to scrap its weapons.

British offi cials were angered by Adams’ attendance at the St. Patrick’s Day reception Friday. Major didn’t return two calls last week from Clinton. The prime minister’s office said he was too busy but did not dispute reports that Major was angry that Clinton had invited Adams withoutgettingapledge that the IRA was ready to give up its weapons.

IINC Back in Final 16 Tar Heels Use 64-28, Game-Ending Run to Chase Away Ghosts of Loss To B.C. in 1994 NCAA 2nd Round BYJACSONLOWE SENIOR WRITER TALLAHASSEE, Fla. For the first 14 minutes Sunday, it looked like lowa State might pull off a second-consecutive upset of North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament’s second round. However, there’s nothing quite like a 64-28 run to seal a spot in the Sweet 16forthe 14thtimein 15years. That’s what UNC had to finish its 73-51 victory in the Southeast Regional at the Leon County Civic Center. UNC will face Georgetown in the regional semifinal Thursday night in Birmingham, Ala. The Tar Heels (26-5) were down 23-9 with 6:24 remaining in the first half when the amazing run began. Fred Hoiberg sparked the Cyclones (23-11) from the outside and senior Loren Meyer did the same on the inside. Hoiberg, an honorable mention All- America selection, hit four ofhis first six shots, includ ing two 3-pointers. Meanwhile, Meyer was proving he wasn’t intimi dated by Rasheed Wallace inside, using abevy of spin moves and jump hooks to score eight in the first half “We are very pleased with the way we came out of the locker room,” Cyclone head coach Tim Floyd said. “To start the game, I thought we exercised great poise on both ends of the floor. Then at the end of the first half, the wheels started coming off.” Turnovers keyed the Tar Heel surge. Following a Pat Sullivan jumper, UNC forced four straight lowa State errors, including a shot-clock violation with four minutes left in the half. “You really have to attribute (the comeback) to our defensive pressure,” said Sullivan, who finished with eight points. “We really got out on Hoiberg and (Hurl) Beecham and limited those guys to one shot. That was the key to the first half— our defense.” The Tar Heels capped an 18-2 run with less than a tick left in the half when Wallace slammed home a steal, giving UNC its first lead of the day, 27-25. “We got down 14, and Coach (Dean Smith) took us out and told us just to stay poised, keep running our stuff, and do the things we can do,” UNC guard Jeff Mclnnis said. “We came in, made a run, and it gave us a lot of momentum going into the second half.” In the second half, Donald Williams and Dante Calabria took over the scoring chores. Williams hit 6 of 12 from the field for 15 points, and Calabria con nected on 5 of 9 for 13. Stackhouse added 15. The trio combined for eight treys and used last year’s tourna ment to once again motivate them.

Public Schools Three-Part Plan Calls for Greater UNC-System Role In State’s Public Schools BY KAMAL WALLACE STAFF WRITER The UNC-system Board of Governors moved Friday to extend its role beyond the ivy-covered walls of college campuses into the state’s public school classrooms. UNC-system President C.D. Spangler, along with Jay Robinson, the new chair man of the N.C. Board of Education, and Vic Hackley, former chancellor of Fayetteville State University, introduced a three-part plan for improving public schools in North Carolina at the BOG meeting. Spangler and Robinson are longtime colleagues who have promised to build a tighter relationship between the UNC sys tem and the public schools. Spangler said he believed that the chan cellors in the UNC system still had a role to play in improving public schools. “We aren’t doing all that we can do, ” he said. There are three major areas Spangler said he believed could be improved for N.C. public schools: school leadership, violence and technology. A major initiative in the concept of better leadership training, Spangler’s main concern, is the UNC system’s hand in training school principals.

To Spangler, computer technology is essential to the ftiture of education. Anew task force would be appointed to aid the integration of computer technology into classrooms and to improve the computer literacy of students enrolled in teacher edu cation programs. The N.C. School of Technology User Task Force, which will be created in con junction with the N.C. community college system and the state Board of Education, will help develop ways to ensure the com puter proficiency of public school educa tors. “All faculty in the University will have received training so that by the fall 0f1996, they will have learned computer basics. They will be able to use word processing, database, spreadsheet and telecommuni cations,” Spangler said. “Second, by spring 1996, all graduates must review the revised standards with respect to technology,” he said.

Congress decided Saturday to hear the groups after all because it was unclear whether the groups had known in advance to turn in the information, said Speaker Pro Tem Meredith Armstrong. Seven of the eight groups took their normal position in the budget process, but The Carolina Review was denied funding by a vote of 11-10. Congress debate centered around an article in the November issue that said, “Hopefully, the voters in Virginia this November will make him Senator North,” referring to the U.S. Senate race between Oliver North and Chuck Robb. According to the Student Government Code, “Student Con gress shall appropriate no student activity fees to programs, services or events of a religious or politically partisan nature. ” Charlton Allen, editor of the Review, said that since congress funded B-GLAD, which he said was a political organization, it should also fund the Review. “It was absolutely ridiculous,” Allen said. “It was clearly content-based censorship. “Every question had to do with content that we had printed or might be printed. That’s what this is all about there was not a question about the group serving the student body," he said. The question was raised: If supporting North made The Caro lina Review partisan, then what about student groups who sup- See CONGRESS, Page 2 Nesn/Features/Ails/Spons 962-0245 Business/Advertising 962-1163 01995 DTH Publishing Corp.

In a dramatic return to the game he couldn’t stay away from, Michael Jordan showed all the elements that made him great die double-pump fakes, the mid-air hangs, die explosive dribble, the out-of-no where passes in a tantalizing reminder of what the NBA had missed. He had 19 points, six assists, six rebounds and three steals in 43 minutes in his come back, a 103-96 Bulls loss to the Indiana Pacers in overtime Sunday. “I’vegotsomethingtobuildupon,” Jordansaid. “If I score 60, it looks boring. I have to build myself up to my caliber of play.” His shooting was rusty, re sulting in a 7-for-28 effort. But with two neat jumpers, he kept Chicago close in overtime, ty ing it 94-94, then pulling Chi cago to 97-96 with 1:32 left. “My timing was a little bit off,” he said. “I know it’s not going to happen in one game, but hey, I’m back. I’m back for the love of the game." But Jordan didn’t exaedy pick up where he left off in his last game, when he led the Chi cago Bulls to their third straight NBA tide in June of 1993: MICHAEL JORDAN scored 19 points on 7- of-28 shooting Sunday afternoon vs. Indiana. For one thing, his shorts were on backward. The NBA logo that’s supposed to be on the front right leg of the Bulls’ shorts was on Jordan’s back left leg. But on the defensive end, it was like he never left. Assigned to guard Reggie Miller, the league’s best shooting guard post-Jordan, Jordan didn’t embarrass himself, even though Miller finished with 28 points in a game the Bulls never led. “He’s still got all ofhis stuff,’’Miller said. “I’m sure conditioning is going to be a problem for him for a game or two. But once he gets in the rhythm—oh my goodness.” There was a crackle of electricity when the Bulls strode onto the court for warmups, and the Market Square Arena crowd squealed with delight at Jordan’s every pregame layup. But earlier, Jordan was as nervous as he’s ever been. “It was tough getting off the plane,” he said. “But getting off the plane I knew the game was beginning.” He had been there before, but it wasn’t quite the See JORDAN, Page 7 used for development,” Jones said. In an independent study, the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School had con sidered various sites for housing develop ment and decided the Horace Williams site was the most suitable tract. - “Graduate students in city and regional planning in the UNC school of business did a study last year to see whether it was feasible to build student housing on the Horace Williams land tract and what form would be suitable,’’Jones said.
