Tar Heels Face Boilermakers In NCAA Shootout
Mm
By OWEN DAVIS
DTI I Sports Editor
LOUISVILLE, Ky.-At Freedom Hall there is no East nor
West.
College basketball becomes solely national tonight when the
NCAA championships begin here. There is only one prize now,
THE ONE, the national title.
It makes no difference whether you're the champion of the Big
Sky Conference or the best in St. Cloud, Minn.
Sectional crowns are out, the Eastern, Mideast, Midwest and
Western Regionals mean nothing.
One team will emerge from the several hundred colleges
playing NCAA basketball, and the other must be content to
compete for the bridal bouquet.
One of four schools, North Carolina, Purdue, Drake or UCLA,
will receive college athletic's most coveted award.
For two of the teams, Drake and Purdue, it will be their first
shot at the top. Carolina and UCLA have been here before, the
Bruins from Los Angeles four times in the past five years.
The foursome will be weeded down to a duet tonight in the
semi-finals as 18,000 fit into the cavernous hall.
The Tar Heels and Purdue open the tournament at 7:40 while
UCLA and Drake follow at 9:40.
UCLA will go after a record third straight national title. Since
Lew Alcindor first sent his blue-and-yellow varsity uniform to the
cleaners to have it stretched, the Bruins have compiled an 86-2
record.
A UCLA toumey win would give it five NCAA championships
in all, also a record. Presently it is tied with Kentucky with four.
And since Alcindor is back for his third year and the Bruins
sport a 27-1 record, they are favored.
The stiffest competition should come from Carolina, which
was in the finals last year with UCLA but lost by the biggest
margin in NCAA history.
This is the third consecutive trip to the tournament for UNC,
and it has finished fourth and second nationally.
The Tar Heels are 27-2, champion of the Eastern Regional.
Three starters from last season's second place team are back, and
a fourth, Dick Grubar, would be excep for an ankle injury.
Because of its extensive tournament experience over the past
three years, and Purdue's lack of it, Carolina will be the bettors'
choice against the Boilermakers, 24-4.
Purdue has ail-American Rick Mount, a 6-4 guard, who
averages 33 points a game. Mount shoots anywhere from 15 to 30
feet. He is recognized as the best outside shooter in college
basketball.
The rest of the lineup will be 6-10 Jerry Johnson at center,
5-11 Billy Keller at the other guard, 6-5 Chuck Faerber at
forward and either Herm Gilliam, Larry Weatherford or Ty
Bedford at the second forward. If Gilliam's ankle is healthy, he
will start.
This one could be a shootout like the old Western gunslingers
once had at high noon. Mount is a gunner in the traditional
basketball sense, while UNC's Charlie Scott has become a profuse
scorer himself lately with Grubar out of the lineup.
Both Mount and Scott won their regionals with last-second
shots, Mount scoring 26 for the game and Scott 32. It could
narrow down to a Scott-Mount battle, although Carolina is better
balanced than Purdue.
The Boilermakers rapidly run-and-gun for 40 minutes, while the
Tar Heels play defense and are more patient.
Drake, 24-4, a longtime nobody from Des Moines, Iowa, is the
surprise team. The Bulldogs have 6-3 Willia McCarter, an excellent
shooter who averages about 20 points a game.
Coach Maury John predicts, "We'll be a little more
conservative offensively against UCLA."
That may be difficult since the Bruins have pulled their 2-2-1
zone defense out of the dusty files and put it back into use.
UCLA, besides the best college player ever in Alcindor, will
start forwards Lynn Shackle ford, who throws in left-handed
outside shots from binoculor range, and 6-6 Curtis Rowe, a tough
rebounder.
Kenny Heitz, a defensive stickout, and John Valley, a shooter,
will open at guard.
So two will emerge tonight, and then there will be one.
Candidates
Ask Bus
Extension
By TOM SNOOK
DTH Staff Writer
A proposal to extend the
present campus bus system has
been introduced by the top
three candidates from the
University Party. V
The proposal calls for the
present bus service to provide
better service . for South
Campus residents and .. to
extend similar benefits for
other students in the
University community
The proposal is signed by
Alan Albright, candidate for
president, Rafael Perez,
candidate for vice president
and Carol Spruill, candidate for
secretary.
Albright said it is
essential not to merely state the
problems of the bus system,
but to decide how to work out
the priorities for.lt.
"We want to state what the
objectives are," said Albright.
"The present bus service
should be made more
all-encompassing."
The UP proposal calls for
additions to the service similar
to those outlined by Student
Transportation Commission
Chairman John McMurray.
These include extension of
the operating hours of the
buses for the benefit of coeds
who will be living on South
Campus next fall, and adding a
third bus to eliminate any
waiting period for students.
In addition, the proposal
calls for elimination of the
ten-cent fare. Albright said the
University should , assume the
responsibility for operating the
buses as other schools,
including Duke University,
have done.
Currently, the University
provides up to $1,125 per
week for the system, although
much of this is never used.
According to McMurray, the
present bus service is

Court Resolution
jeirea"
President Would Appoint Members
By MIKE COZZA
AND DON INGALLS
DTH Staff Writers
Student Legislature Tuesday
night defeated a resolution
providing for a constitutional
referendum to modify the
make-up of student courts.
The resolution would have
let the student body consider
an amendment allowing the
student body president to
appoint, at a defendent's
request, up to three additional
persons (of his own race) to sit
as honor court members for
the specific case being
considered.
The amendment would also
have paved the way for
additional legislation to
establish an at-large district in
which black students could
elect their own representatives
to the Men's and Women's
Honor Courts.
Rep. Charles Jeffress, who
conferred with Law Professor
Kenneth Penegar in drafting
the proposal, told the
legislature, "The question here
is simple: Can we justify an all
white court, which is what we
have now? If not, we need to
put blacks on the court, and
this bill allows us to do that."
Rep." Joe Beard, who
opposed the resolution,,
face of it," Beard said, "but
because it is done for an illegal
purpose (discrimination), it is
illegal."
The resolution failed to get
the 23 majority necessary to
set up a constitutional
referendum. The vote was 14
ayes, 10 nays.
The legislature also defeated
a bill to disaffiliate UNC from
the National Student
Association (NSA).
Rep. John Parker, who
introduced the bill, told
legislators, "We, as
representatives of the students
must make sure that no
college were established on this
campus with know-how from
the NSA," Kelly said.
Parker's bill was defeated
with eight for, 16 opposed.
The legislature also passed a
bill to loan the International
Student Center and the Black
Student Movement $1100 to
sponsor a performance of the
Ethiopian Orchestral Group on
March 24.
service woriters association,
asked students, faculty and
graduate instructors to begin a
strike at 9 a.m. Wednesday and
to come to Polk Place.
She told the students the
workers had planned to ask for
a strike beginning Wednesday
unless their lawyer, who was in
Raleigh meeting with the State
Attorney General, phoned to
say there, was a major break in
the negotiating.
' That call never came, Mrs."
Brooks explained, and as a
result, the workers decided to
ask for a strike. -
The workers are asking for a
strike until this weekend at
which time they plan to review
the situation and determine
whether they want the
students, faculty, and graduate
instructors to continue it.
A group of 13 student
leaders called Wednesday for
students to observe the strike
in order to make known to the
Chancellor the belief that the
University can find the money
to increase the minimum pay
for workers to $1.80 per hour.
The statement was signed by
the outgoing and incoming
presidents of the YMCA, Tom
Worley and Joe Shedd, by
Goldstein, and eight others.
One of the signers, Charlie
Jeffress, student legislator, said
of the strike, "If handled
responsibly, without violence,
the positive effects will
out weight the negative
effects."
Preston Dobbins
co-chairman - of the Black
Student Movement, told
students Wednesday morning
they should strike "in order to
show this administration you
will not let these workers stand
up and be slapped around.
got to show your
your parents that
there are some things that are
more important than classes.
"These workers want to
hurry up and get this damn
thing over with and go back to
work," Dobbins said. '"They've
got kids to feed."
At the same time, he said
the workers don't want to
return to work until they get
something definite from the
Administration. "For the
workers and for us," Dobbins
added, "they aren't doing a
damn thing. They're just
talking."

the Frank Porter Graham
Lounge.
The candidates present were
John Kelly, Bob Wilson, Tim
Knowlton, and Alan Albright.
Richard Stevens, co-chairman
of the RCF, explained that he
had been unable to contact
either Dick Levy or Ralph
Travis to issue invitations. He
said that they "would be
invited at a future date."
The candidates first
presented - general policy
statements and then answered
questions from the members of
the RCF.
John Kelly, an independent
candidate and the first to make
a statement, said, "Student
government should be
restructured so that it moves
out of the way of groups that
want to do something on
campus."
He said the Residence
College stysem could be

Parker charged NbA was
political because the
organization was on record as
favoring abolition of the House
Un-american Activities
Committee, admission of Red
China to the UN, a coalition
government in South Vietnam
and reform of marajuana laws.
He also said, "The costs of
NSA membership are not
nearly commensurate with its

independent candidate, called

ram Seeks Class Presidency
INGRAM
By TOM GOODING
DTH Staff Writer
Charles Ingram, junior from
Kenansville, has announced
that he will run for Senior
Class President on the Student
Party ticket.
Ingram, a member of Phi
Kappa Alpha fraternity and
Attorney General's Staff said,
"I think this position can be a
voice for the students if they
will just make it so. The class
president has contacts with the
top campus officials and can
express the opinion of the
students."
Stressing the need for aa
effective senior class president
Ingram said, "I want to
continue the fine work begun
by Charles Farris and to
improve on it.
"Many students consider
student government to be
mickey mouse. But I don't
think that a person should
complain when he's apathetic
enough not to even exercise his
vote."
Constructive programs and
student involvement head
Ingram's list of objectives. "I
think that constructive
programs can be implimented
which will bring together
people from the Residence
Colleges, the sororities and the
fraternities.
"When people can serve on
committees it gives them a
feeling of being a part of the
university. It is time for people
to leave their rooms and get to
work."
Concerning specific projects
Ingam said, "We hope to make
the graduation dance and
Senior Day a reoccuring event.
This year is the first time in 15
years this has been done but
there is no reason why it cant
be continued."
"When you have 5 elected
officers they shouldn't be
relied on to make all decisions.
a
They expect suggestions and
criticisms from members of the
class.
"The officers can not do it
by themselves. If its going to
be a success the entire class
must participate as this year's
class has done."
Alice Hanson, SP candidate
for senior Class Secretary, said,
"All the officers must work
together. I want to work for
the Senior Class. I have wanted
to participate in student
government and I believe this is
the vav I can most effectively
do it."
