CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -Carolina
didn't exactly sneak into Charlottesville
Saturday afternoon.
The undefeated Virginia Cavaliers had
all the traps set. All 8,250 seats were
filled in University Hall, there were signs
galore (one said "UCLA-the Virginia of
the West") and Gov. Linwood HoJton
received an orange U.Va. blazer and was
made an honorary citizen of Cavalier
country.
But somehow the third-ranked Tar
Heels soft-pedaled out of Charlottesville
with an 85-79 victory, and they did it
with one of the most basic, yet
unnoticed, basketball skills-foul
shooting.
Carolina hit 20 of 29 free throw
opportunities in the second half, Kim
Huband making all 10 of his foul shots,
to escape with the victory after Virginia
battled the Tar Heels evenly throughout
32 minutes.
In doing so, Carolina took the
conference lead with a 2-0 conference

The rumored winter flu epidemic has
not yet hit the UNC campus and there is
little valid reason to believe it will,
according to Dr. James A. Taylor,
director of the UNC Student Health
Service.
Although a few cases of a flu-like
disease have been reported in Chapel Hill
and at the UNC infirmary, elaborate virus
studies would be required to determine

Three months ago in Chapel Hill a
young man named Billy Arnold collapsed
on the football practice field mortally
suffering from heat stroke. He died two
weeks later to the shock of his teammates
and to the outrage of some of his former
teammates. Public outcry demanded an
investigation of the events surrounding
Arnold's death; events mysteriously
shrouded in secrecy by the sports
information office.
When the committee of university
officials made public their findings
following an extensive investigation into
Arnold's death, most people seemed
somewhat satisfied and the issue was
closed. Most people . . . not everyone. A
committee of former UNC football
players under the leadership of former
All-ACC standout Bill Richardson
protested the absolution granted the
football department by the investigative
committee.

After Parkhill's second jumper, he

Then Steve Previs drove in for two layups
and Huband hit still another foul shot for
a 77-64 lead with 3:28 to go.
Much to Dean Smith's
disappointment, Carolina could not wTap

The infirmary is taking mild

had, for one reason or another, quit the
team before completion of their
eligibility with the exception of
Richardson, who had completed his
eligibility last year as he was elected
captain of the Peach Bowl Team by his
teammates.
They accused the investigative
committee of contradictions in their
report with the implication that a new,
more impartial committee should
reinvestigate the Arnold incident. But
what was equally serious but seemed to
get less attention was the accusation by
the Concerned Athletes that the UNC
football coaches had mentally and
physically abused their players. About 10
of the former players presented case
histories at an October press conference
at the Union giving examples of how the
coaching staff had mentally or physically
abused them. Usually the reason they had
quit the team was a direct result of some
form of abuse.
The press and the public turned to the
football team for confirmation or
refutation of the Concerned Athlete's
charges. Richardson had said that he was

A Superior Court ruling handed down
Saturday declared unconstitutional the
University regulation forcing students to
drop out of school to establish in-state
residency for tuition purposes.
Also struck down by Judge E. Maurice
Braswell's ruling was another portion of
tuition regulations forcing a woman's
residence to follow that of her husband,
without allowing a husband's residence to
follow his wife's.
The State and the University are
enjoined from enforcing the regulations
under Braswell's order. But the execution
of the order has been stayed pending the

"We are taking an inventory of our

number of flu patients," Taylor said.
The Student Health Service has also
engaged in preliminary planning for the
care of dorm students in case the
infirmary should be overcrowded with
patients during a flu outbreak.
According to Taylor, flu symptoms
include head and body ache, sore throat,
cough and fever. These symptoms differ

receiving support from many present
UNC players, but no one on the team
came forward to publicly support the
Concerned Athletes. The controversy
culminated in the issuance of a statement
to the press by the football team
confirming their support of Coach
Dooley and his football program at the
University. Further, when Richardson
held a press conference later that same
October week, Coach Dooley, the rest of
his staff and the entire football team
dressed in full playing gear marched en
masse into the meeting. Dooley proceded
to try to discredit Richardson and his
committee. Several members of the team
derided Richardson and told him to stay
out of team affairs. Richardson kept his
composure and repeated his committee's
platform. As Richardson began to fire
questions at Dooley, the UNC head coach
removed the team from the meeting and
went to practice.
Once again Richardson said he was
receiving verbal support from several
team members, but the issue died down
and now seems all but forgotten.
Was the Committee of Concerned
Athletes telling the truth? Have players
been abused mentally and physically
under Dooley's reign? The UNC players
have provided the answer in a survey
conducted during the last two weeks of
the regular season. I gave out some 70

early turnovers alter jumping to a 14-7

and a steal and Say up by Chamberlain.

certain appeal of the ruling by the
University.
The suit was filed in Wake County
Superior Court in Raleigh by two UNC
Law School graduates, Anthony B. Lamb
and Kenneth Glusman. Lamb, a Canboro
resident and Glusman, who now lives in
Fayetteville, argued the case last Monday.
Lamb received notice of the judge's
decision Saturday.
Braswell judged the sections of the
residency regulations unconstitutional on
two grounds. The refusal of the
Residency Status Committee to hold a
hearing on their cases was a denial of
equal protection of the law, Braswell said.
The discrimination in favor of women
was also ruled unconstitutional on the

Indications are that if a flu epidemic
comes, it may be the Hong Kong flu,
Taylor said.
"According to the Public Health

itself every two to four years," Taylor
said.

years ago in the form of the Hong Kong

the social, academic and physical aspects
of playing football at Carolina. Question
number 44 reads: Do you think any
player has ever been mistreated by the
coaches (i.e.: "been run-off," abused,
etc.)? The players' response: 32 Yes and
6 No with 6 No answers. The next
question asked for examples and here are
some of the responses:
"Once, my freshman year (a player)
was really pushed, in one-on-one
blocking, sprints and extra one-on-one
and sprints after practice during summer
ball. (The player) was lazy but I disagree
with what they did to him."
Wrote a second player in his
anonymous response:
"Coaches get on certain guys more
than is fair." Says a North Carolina
senior:
"(Players) are used as scrimmage
fodder, subjected to extremely sarcastic
and derogatory language, more than
necessary, told to play when sick or hurt,
especially reserves."
Here's one personal witness:

about being ill and in the hospital for five
days and then asked to practice in full
gear only two days after. Being awfully
weak I was again and again abused for not

was in foul trouble early.
The leading actors in the drama were
McAdoo. Huband and Parkhill.
McAdoo had IS points and 10
rebounds, wowing the fans with one dme

burred McCandlish throughout the game.
ParkhilFs multiple skills were dimmed
in the first half. He only scored seven
points and had three fouls. But he was

basis of the equal protection clause.
The regulations voided by Braswell's
actions are listed, in the "Undergraduate
Bulletin" as follows:
"3)A person is eligible for in-state
tuition if he has maintained a continuous
domicile in North Carolina for the six
months next preceding the date of
enrollment or re-enrollment, exclusive of
any time spent in attendance at any
institution of higher education.
"4)Married students. The legal
residency of a wife follows that of her
husband, except that a woman currently
enrolled as an in-state student in an
institution of higher education may
continue even though she marries a
non-resident."
The decision struck down the clause of
paragraph three which disallows any time
spent in school toward the required
months of residency.
Since the court suit began, the N.C.
General Assembly changed the required
residency period from six to 12 months.
The change in the required length of
residence does not change the effect of
the suit, although the question of who is
effected by the 12 month rule is still
moot.
vaccine containing the Hong Kong strain
within the past couple of years may still
be immune," he said. "In that case, a shot
now would serve as a booster."
A vaccine after flu hits is ineffective,
Taylor said, because a month to six weeks
is required to build an immunity. The
current flu outbreak is scheduled to hit in
three or four weeks, he said.
"We hate to create panic about a
possible epidemic, though, because at this
time we have no conclusive evidence that
there will be a large outbreak," Taylor
said.

blacklisted from then on because of 'not

It is a common belief among UNC
football players that some of them are
"run off" by the coaches. This means a
coach will be particularly hard on a single
person, giving him extra work to do
resulting in extra physical punishment. In
this way, the coaches hope to discourage
the player into quitting the team. Several
of the Concerned Athletes said they were
victims of this cruel practice. Present
team members confirmed this:
"Pressure is applied to someone that
the coaches feel is a recruiting mistake.
Continual harsh practice to dishearten the
player."
Another player confirmed a
Concerned Athlete had been "run-off:
"(The player) was personally degraded
for his lack of athletic ability."
How are players "run off"? Said one:
"Run-off, physically punished, mentally
demoralized." Another wrote: "Verbal
abuse mostly. Some coaches give the
player the "cold shoulder" and won't
speak to him unless it's to tell him to get
a haircut. Some coaches always pick
certain players to participate in their 'shit
drills.' "
It probably depends on your point of
view as to whether you think "verbal and
mental abuse" is merely a form of

According to Lamb, several court
decisions have established the validity of
a required length of time to be spent to
establish residency. However, Lamb said,
the Supreme Court has struck down a
number of regulations similar to UNC's
concerning time spent in school.
Lamb said he established residency in
North Carolina by paying state taxes,
registering to vote and registering his
automobile here. His appeals through the
Residency Status Committee, the
chancellor, the University president's
office and the trustees were all denied.
The portion of the regulations
concerning a spouse's residence was aho
struck down by Braswell as clearly
unconstitutional.
Saying the notion that a wife's
residency follows her husband's is simply
a legacy from common law, Braswell
enjoined the University from any
practices which discriminates on the basis
of this regulation.
Lamb said the Residency Status
Committee would often grant hearing to
women on the basis of their marriage. But
the committee refused to give Lamb a full
hearing in which to present the facts
of his case, he said.
The question of the constitutionality
of charging a different tuition for
in-state and out-of-state students was not
an issue in the case, Lamb said.
This case is the first to be decided in a
series of court challenges to the current
tuition structure at the University. A class
action has been filed in Greensboro by
the N.C. Civil Liberties Union on the
tuition differential.

motivational coaching or is in fact
abusive. The coaches at UNC are just like
anywhere else-they're in the business to
win and often they get so emotionally
charged-up trying to extract a winning
performance out of a player that they
tend to forget they are dealing with
sensitive individuals every bit as "human"
and emotional as men who don't play
football. When asked in the survey what
players do not like in a coach the
overwhelming response centered around
"a coach who intimidates his players, one
that is dishonest or authoritarian or a
coach who has no insight into his player's
person ality." Also mentioned were
coaches who "have no appreciation for
players as individuals or are
narrow-minded, sarcastic or stubborn."
And when the survey asked would the
players go to the coaches to discuss a
personal problem the players who
responded were split 23 yes, 19 no and 2
maybe. Asked why not they said "I don't
feel close to them" or "They aren't
interested in my problems or me as an
individual." Six players said, "1 can't
trust the coaches."
