'Tine Pains Of
Grow-Up, Boy
To the Editor :
As a former sports editor of
the Daily Tar Heel, I was ex
tremely disappointed by the
editorial in the DTH of Feb.
19 concerning Asst. Basket
ball Coach Larry Brown.
In a very real sense, a DTH
basketball reporter should
work for Larry Brown. There
should certainly be a differ
ent relationship between the
DTII sports staff and the UNC
coaches than between the
New York Times staff and the
manager of the New York
Yankees. The DTH is still a
school newspaper and, as such,
should strive to serve the best
interests of the University.
In most areas, these inter
ests can best be served by a
full and completely impartial
recounting of all the facts in
volved in a given situation.
However, UNC athletes are
student - athletes, not profes
sional athletes. They should
not, for example, be subjected
to the same degree of criti
cism or personal exposure as
a Paul Hornung or a Roger
Maris. The DTH should be
particularly zealous in the
protection and privacy of these
boys. Therefore, there are
many instances in which they
should defer to the judgment
of the men who are always
primarily concerned with the
boys the coaches. Sports are
not the same as politics. No
great moral issues are in
volved in a missed free throw.
I doubt very seriously wheth
er Larry Brown made the
statement attributed to him.
If you can't quote him cor
rectly, don't quote him at all.
If he did make the statement,
I am sure that you have taken
it out of context and gravely
distorted its meaning.
As for Larry Brown, "the
man," he rates just as highly
as Larry Brown, the player
and coach. When the DTH
editorialist becomes a man,
perhaps he will also become
qualified to pass judgment on
the character of other men.

Wouldn't it be great to earn big
money while you're still in
school? Maybe you can. We're
interviewing students age 21
and over. And we're hiring. Pick
ing people who aren't afraid to
work, when they know that the
harder they work, the more
money they'll make.
The hours are up to you. You
can work part time and earn
while you learn. On-the-job trairv
ing under professional super
vision while you're working for
a big, internationally-known
company. For all the facts, write
for an appointment. There's no
obligation.

To the Editor:
A strange thing happened
in this enlightened town on
Sunday afternoon. We were
playing basketball in the Tin
Can when a , policeman en
tered "to do his job" and
clear out all those who were
not students. Of the 25 - 30
people whose ages ranged
possibly from fifteen to thir
ty, he approached two you
guessed it, the only two Ne
groes in the place and told
them it was his duty to kick
them out.
After a short discussion,
the policeman went after
some 8 or 9-year old kids
and, apparently feeling his
duty was done, he left. He
questioned no one else, al
though not all the others pres
ent were unquestionably stu
dents or faculty of the Uni
versity. Apparently some people
still do not understand the
idea of non - discrimination;
. and some of these, unfortu
nately, are in a position of
law enforcement.

Pat Stith stated, "Carolina
had a chance' to win and
ironically it was Larry Mil

reputation for clutch perfor
mances, who lost it for
them." Sure he missed four
foul shots in the latter part
of the same, but who is to

say that four points would
nave made up the difference.
Larry will be the first to
tell you that foul shooting is
not the greatest facet of his
game, but he did not choke
Saturday night He concen
trated, he aimed, he tried
his utmost to make each op
portunity at the charity line,
but none would fall. Larry
felt bad enough after the loss
without being told he lost it
for Carolina
If I'm not mistaken, I de
tect an unreporterlike bias or
slant in what is supposed to
be a straight news story. If
it had to be slanted, it could
have been pro-Carolina as
other state and college pap
ers are biased for their
teams. You don't have to
make everything sound rosy
in defeat. Just state the facts
and let them speak for them
selves, don't draw your own
conclusions. Say Larry miss
ed four free throws. There's
a lot of difference in this
fact and the printed state
ment. Carolina lost the ball game.
Larry being a member of' the
team must shoulder some of
the responsibility for the loss,
but not all. The coach, the
rest of the team, nor the
knowledgable basketball fans
. blame Larry alone for the
Clemson defeat. I asked Lar
ry what he thought about the
DTH affixing the blame for
the Clemson loss on him. He
said that he didn't think any
thing about it. He did not
ask that I write this letter

nor did he care to defend
himself.
The article did not faze
Miller but it did me. He does
not desire to stand up for
himself against his own
school newspaper and God
knows he doesn t have to.
His credentials speak for it
self for the year and for the
Clemson game (19 points and
14 rebounds).
Bob Lewis stated, "You
can't please anybody. Last
year I shot and scored a lot.
People called me a shotgun
and said I wasn't a team
man. This year I pass off
and people say I'm having a
bad year. What are you go
ing to do."
Larry like Bob is a human
being as well as a super
star. They both have weak
points and both make mis
takes. Carolina is licky to
have a player the caliber of
Larry Miller and like all
stars, his infirmities must be
accepted with his strong
points.

amazing Wilt. Just as Phila
delphia needs Chamberlain,
Carolina could not do with
out Miler's offensive punch,
his tenacious defense, and his
team-leading rebounding. If
our No. 44 was not on the
court, Carolina, ranking or no
ranking, would be hurting.
