UNC wrecks Tech, remains unbeaten

The North Carolina defense giveth,
and the North Carolina defense taketh
away.
On Saturday against Georgia Tech,
the Tar Heel" D”—not usually noted for
its generosity gave UNC’s offense
several scoring opportunities.
And UNC’s defenders took chances
away from the Yellow Jackets, stealing
the ball five times and terrorizing Tech by
yielding just

And although UNC’s defense suffo

Coast offense sputtered all day against
the Jackets. UNC tailback Leon Johnson
scampered for 100 yards against Tech, a
far cry from the 46
rushing yards he
recorded at Syra

On the western side of Chapel Hill cemetery, not far
from Connor Residence Hall, a stone obelisk stands,
overlooking the grave of Wilson Swain Caldwell. The
class of 1891 placed it there to commemorate his life
time of service to the University.
But Wilson Caldwell was not a beloved professor,
dedicated trustee or generous donor. He was bom a
slave; his father was owned by Joseph Caldwell, who

yards and three touchdowns on the
ground.
With that loss in the back of its mind,
the North Carolina “D” held Tech to 101
yards rushing, including limiting star
tailback C. J. Williams to only 27 stripes.
“We put up a list of everything that
Tech did to us last year defensively,”
UNC linebacker Kivuusama Mays said.
“We knew everything, and we wanted to
redeem ourselves.
“We were on a mission. We had some
thing to strive for, and that’s what we
did.”
Part of that mission was to put the Tar
Heel attack in prime scoring position.
With 11:25 left before halftime, UNC
comerback Dre’ Bly snatched the first of
his three interceptions and ran it back to
the Tech six.
And three plays later, tight end Freddie
Jones made a one-handed grab of Chris
Keldorfs five-yard pass to put North
Carolina up 9-0. Josh McGee’s extra
point attempt sailed wide right.
Then, just before the half, UNC’s de
fense forced Tech to go three-and-out
deep in its own territory. The Tar Heels
took over at Tech’s 37, and on the third
play of the drive, Keldorf connected with
Na Brown on a 24-yard scoring strike to
end the scoring.
“I really didn’t know what kind of
defense (Tech) was playing,” Na Brown
said. “I just got around (the defender),
and Chris got the ball right there.”
The game was also riddled with missed
opportunities andmistakesby both teams.
TTie Tar Heel offense opened the game
with its only sustained drive of the after
noon —a 13-play effort that included
three third down conversions and set
UNC up at the Yellow Jackets’ six yard
line.
But UN C didn’t capitalize on its touch
down opportunity, as Keldorfs third
down passglanced off Jones’ arms. UNC
settled for a 23-yard field goal from
McGee that put it up 3-0 with 9:31 left in
the first quarter.
UNC squandered a chance to ice the
game midway through the third, when

Tar Heel tight end Freddie Jones (92) makes a one-handed grab over Georgia Tech cornerback Jason Bostic for
UNC’s first touchdown Saturday afternoon. It was Jones' second touchdown of the year.
Chancellor Michael Hooker said in a
press release.
University students reported a slightly
lower rate of binge drinking than the
national average, but the problem re
mains a concern, Hooker stated.
However, the survey also indicates
the University could influence the amount
of substance abuse on campus. More
than two-thirds of respondents reported
their friends would be upset if they took
battle between UNC housekeepers and University ad
ministrators.
The housekeepers, an overwhelming majority of
whom are black, contend that their place at the bottom
of the University’s pay scale is a symptom of racism that
has been a fundamental part of UNC since it opened its
doors.
Over its five year history, the lawsuit has been de
layed several times. In July, Judge Brenda Becton set

When a parent is ill,
child needs support
BY MONICA SANCHEZ
STAFF WRfFER
Kristen Berkland had just begun her
first year at UNC when she received a
startling message from her mother. Her
father, Mervin, was dying of cancer.
“The first day I found out, I stared at
the walls, I cut class and cried the whole
day,” said Berkland, a junior transfer
from Wake Tech. “I was fine when I was
busy in class. By 2
p.m., I was de
pressed again.”
For students af
fected by a parent’s
illness, the decision
of whether to stay
in school or with

comes blurred as
their personal lives
collide with their
responsibilities in

According to psychologists, this situa

“College students are likely to have an
illness in their family, especially when
parents are at an age to where they may
get sick more often,” said Jan Sedway, a
graduate student studying clinical psy
chology.
These students badly reed the help of
their peers, Sedway said. This semester
she is organizing a forum to help them
cope.

Caucus asks
for 60-day
delay in trial
■ The delay would allow
time for a compromise in
the Housekeepers’ lawsuit.
BY SHARIF DURHAMS
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDTOR
Members of the UNC Housekeepers
Association have delayed their lawsuit
against the University until at least Tues
day because of a compromise proposal
drafted by the Black Faculty-Staff Cau
cus, said their attorney A1 McSurely.
A resolution passed unanimously by
caucus members at their meeting Thurs
day night called for the hearings, sched
uled to begin Monday, to be postponed
for 60 days while the University sets up a
task force to make recommendations on
how to change housekeepers’ working
conditions and wages.
“The housekeepers’ leadership was
invited to the meeting,” McSurely said.
“We were very inspired by both the dis
cussion that took place during the resolu
tion and the overwhelming vote for it.”
Judge Brenda Becton agreed to delay
the hearing until Tuesday to find out if
the two groups can reach a compromise,
McSurely said. He and Special Deputy
Attorney General Tom Ziko, who repre
sents the University, are supposed to re
port to Becton at 5 p.m. Monday.
The resolution came after Chancellor
Michael Hooker made a compromise
proposal Wednesday, offeringraises rang
ing from 1 percent to 10 percent and
funding for training programs for UNC’s
lowest-paid employees. Housekeepers
Association leaders said they liked the
programs Hooker said he would imple
ment, but they said they would not chop
me lawsuit.
“Race relations has to have material
advances,” McSurely said. “But there
also has to be a change in the way people
hear each other and talk to each other.”
The Housekeepers Association has
been in a legal battle with UNC since
1991, when some housekeepers filed a
grievance charging the University with
institutional racism and asking for higher

evidence for the diagnosis.
Berkland’s first reaction was to leave
school to be with her father in Wausau,
Wis., but financial problems kept her
from withdrawing.
“I couldn’t afford an airplane ticket,"
she said. “It was S9OO for Labor Day
weekend. There was also no way I could
have gone home and paid back my stu
dent loan.”
In addition to her father’s unexpected
illness, Berkland’s family is thinking of
initiating a malpractice suit against then
doctor of 22 years. When her father no
ticed a lump in his arm, the doctor dis
missed it as fatty tissue without attempt
ing a biopsy. As her father’s condition
worsened, another specialist diagnosed
it as cancer.
“My brother is pushing for this law
suit. I just hope (the cancer) hasn’t spread
to the point where it’s not going to be
curable,” Berkland said.
Another graduate student in psychol
ogy, who asked not to be identified, could
not begin her first year at UNC because
of the news that her 62-year-old mother
was suffering from bone cancer.
“Ever since I’ve known my mom, she
was always complaining about her legs,
up to the point where she couldn’t stand
up,” she said.
“The first thing you think about when
your mother has cancer is that she is
going to die.”
Having already suffered the death of
two aunts and an uncle, she said she still
deals with feelings of detachment from
friends and her own family.
