National Ratings At Stake UNC Chatt By OWEN DAVIS DTH Sports Editor LEXINGTON, Ky-It's called the Bludgrass State, but to Carolina s basketball team tonight it could be more appropriately named The Snakepit. The scene is the state of Kentucky, whose entire basketball-loving population will center its attention on Memorial Coliseum when the Tar Heels from over the mountains play their favorite boys, the Kentucky Wildcats. Game time is 8 p.m. An audience of 11,500 will see the action live, but Adolph Rupp's third-ranked team will know several million more want a victory over North Carolina almost as much as a daily-double winner at Churchill Downs. Reason for the intense interest in the Carolina-Kentucky battle emges Third-Ranked boils down to two points. First, the Tar Heels are second-ranked nationally, and a Wildcat win would probably more them into that position. Second, Carolina has defeated Kentucky three straight times, and nobody, not even Johnny Wooden with Lew Alcindor and the Los Angeles Lakers, does that to one of Rupp's teams. So the stage is set. Ifs with a backdrop of white-fenced horse farms, America's original bourbon distilleries (and bourbon is the country's ONLY native beverage), and some of the best gambling stakes anywhere. But the one mint julep will bow out to basketball tonight. It might have been the top game of the regular season is first-ranked UCLA wasn't playing fourth-ranked Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. tonight too. Both teams are undefeated after two games. Carolina, 28-4 last year, has defeated Oregon twice. Kentucky, 22-5 in 1967-68 has downed Xavier and Miami of Ohio. Tar HeeIs are favored, although the Wildcats have a 212-27 record on their home court But Kentucky win play with two sophomores and without team leader Mike Pratt, who broke a finger in pre-season drills. Pratt, a forward, last year averaged 14.1 points a game. In his place will be Mike Casey, usually a guard. Casev was the team's leadmg scorer last season with a 20.1 average, but at 6-4 is a small forward. Soph guard Terry Mills, 6-2, takes Casey's backcourt position alongside Phil Argento, a regular last vear until he broke an ankle. In the frontcourt with Casey is 6-6 Lam- Steele, a soph who weighs only 174, and center Dan IsseL Issel, 6-8', was a 16.4 scorer last year. K emtucky The Wildcats' front line of 6-8, 6-6 and 6-4 will appear midget-sized next to Tar Heel front liners Rusty Clark, 6-10, Bill Bunting, 6-8 and Charlie Scott, 6-5. Scott, averaging 31 points a game after two contests, may be an All-American. Bunting played the best basketball of his life against Oregon with a 15.5 scoring average and 10.5 rebounding mark. At guards will be two seniors, Dick Grubar and Gerald Tuttle. Tuttle is a newcomer to the starting five tonight, and he is from down the road at London, Ky. Coach Dean Smith is counting on the added incentive of playing before the home folks to boost Tuttle to a peak performance. It will take a super-high Tuttle and four turned-on cohorts to pull off a Tar Heel victory, because Rupp, the Baron of Basketball, is waiting, and few beat him at his own game.

Volume 76, Number 65 Semester Change Asked By J. D. WILKINSON DTH Staff Writer The editor of the Technician, North Carolina State's daily student newspaper, claimed in an editorial Nov. 20 that Chapel Hill merchants constitute the only stumbling-block to proposed plans for revising the Consolidated University schedule so that the first semester could be terminated before Christmas. The editorial said that by beginning the fall semester two weeks earlier, it could be completed before the Christmas break, thus restoring the "continuity (which) is lost in many courses" because as the schedule stands now, "the latter half of fall semester is chopped into three chunks." A schedule change "is no new idea," according to the editorial In fact, says the column, the change is already widely favored at the University campuses in Raleigh, Greensboro and Charlotte. However, the Consolidated University Board of Turstees has ruled that the four campuses should all operate on the same schedule and so the failure of the Chapel Hill branch to support the change is preventing the other schools from instituting it.

WILKINSON DTH Staff Writer An official of the University Student Infirmary sard Friday four cases of the new Asian variety of influenza have been reported at the infirmary. The highly-contagious nature of the illness, which first appeared in Hong Kong, has prompted national public health officials to warn of a probable nation-wide outbreak of epidemic proportions this winter. Dr. James Taylor of the student infirmary said Friday officials at North Carolina Memorial Hospital and the infirmary have been making "elaborate plans" since early fall for combating the possible influenza outbreak. He said the infirmary 'has only 2,000 doses of the anti-influenza vaccine developed especially for the Hong Kong variety. The Student Health Service ordered a much larger quantity, but manufacturers, overloaded with orders for the vaccine, were able to supply only the 2,000 doses. Dr Taylor said the vaccine would be offered Tuesday to students with chronic ailments such as asthma, diabetes, heart Students will be informed of any new shipments of the vaccine which may arrive. The vaccine requires two to have the opportunity to obtain three weeks to take effect. anti-flu shots beginning trouble, and other diseases of the same nature.

Kelly, Perez, Davison and Chris Bean voted for the amendment. Students would approve or disapprove this policy. The amendment was introduced due to the "feeling among students that they want to be able to decide for themselves wThether or not they can be tried and punished by both civil and student judicial systems for the same act," according to Kelly. Basic opposition to the amendment was the lack of time available before the referendum (Dec. 17) in which to inform the students of its implications. "A lot of wrork still must be done before the students can decide," said Legislator Charles Jeffress who opposed the amendment. "We must study the effects of no double jeopardy on student government and the University community first," he said. "There is nothing to be lost consequences, aware oi the he reasoned. ''Judiciary Needs Overhaul' Total i . In a. w statement issued. !lt is imperative that all Friday, Student Body ' who feel a stake in the Student President Ken Day leveled an Judiciary join in the hard work attack on the judicial system at of thinking through what it is Carolina. The text of the statement reads, "It is quite obvious that the Student Judiciary of this campus is not only in need of change but more accurately in need of total overhaul. "The action of Student Legislature this week takes a small step in the right direction by recognizing that our judiciary has been far out of step with the rest of the student body and indeed, the rest of the civilized world. "Unfortunately, however, the legislative action falls disasterously short of adequate remedy to the ills of a judicial system that functionally died years before most of us arrived on this campus. "The time has come to free ourselves from the chains of past assumptions and to ask what is it we want to accomplish with the Student Judiciary, why it should exist, and how do we make it work properly. -J A, . ... n xi nrrii . i r i iA i srri7 r bile i Lit ni iiivri iv ill r w-n i i an acute ieorue cvcibuj - j - advised not to naroor uay.

"I urge all who are vitally concerned with the future of the Student Judiciary to join in a work session next Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 in Roland Parker II. "The basic assumptions underlying the Honor Code and the Campus Code no longer maintain the respect of the respect of the student body as was ostensibly the case at one time. "We can no longer live with a judicial system basd on assumptions about the nature of the University and the nature of human conduct that have long since passed the scene. "As we raise these questions, we must face squarely what many have called "fundamental double jeopardy." "This term has been used to mean many different things by different people: 1) What is covered by a code, 2) what are the geographic limits of a code, or 3) what are the overlapping jurisdictions of a code with laws enacted by the larger society. "In the interest of the student body, we must clarify the meaning of the indictment of Double Jeopardy and its impact on the Judiciary as we would have it. 'To provide for this clarification, the Legislature chose to divide the so called Double Jeopardy issue from the other question to be voted on December 17. "These proposals include: 1) Redefinition of the Honor Code to cover lying, cheating, ro stealing of an academic nature only, 2) Redefinition of the Campus Code to make it an offense to impart? significantly the welfare or educational opportunities of others in the University Community, 3) Limitation of the Campus Code in geographic area to campus and its environs and in time to the term for which the student is enrolled, 4) Investing the Attorney General with the power to investigate all cases and at the request of the injured party or if there be extenuating (continued on page 4)
