LOS ANGLLHS- North Carolina 's
chances for a national championship again
collapsed from blue power to blue powder
Thursday night in the L.A. Sports Arena.
But for almost eight minutes in this
NCAA semifinal game, the Tar Heels at
least showed they deserved to be here.
They chopped a 23-point Florida State
lead to five with 5:41 remaining-then
froze just as quickly as they warmed up to
lose 79-75.
The Seminoles, mocking Carolina's
proud pressure defense with the quickness
of 5-7 Otto Petty and a quick defense of
their own, blitzed to a 45-32 halftime lead
and upped to 59-36 with 1 3 :34 remaining.
UNC thought it was at a Pillsbury baking
contest. It concocted 19 turnovers in the
first half (the generous statisticians said
14). Then the Heels were beaten on the

From Wire Reports
N.C. Republicans Thursday revealed
plans for a court challenge of the state's
one-year residency requirement for
voting.
The filing of a suit came on the heels
of the Supreme Court ruling Tuesday that
struck doyn Tennessee's similar provision.
The court implied anything beyond 30
days is unconstitutional.
Alex Brock, executive secretary of the
State Elections Board, predicted Thursday
the federal government wo'uld have to step
in to protect against vote fraud if the
Supreme Court forced all states to lower
voter residency requirements to 30 days.
The suit, to be filed in the U.S. District
Court, was announced by state chairman
Frank Rouse, who conceded changes in the
residency requirement could benefit
Democrats more than Republicans.
He said he did not expect a court ruling
in time for the May 6 primary but was
hoping for one in time for the November
general elections.
Rouse charged that Brock had

they proved when Petty fouled out and

indicated he would not voluntarily go
along with Tuesday's high court ruling.
Brock, however, said North Carolina had
no option but to stay with its current
election regulations since the one-year
residency requirement is part of the state
constitution.
Brock said the Board of Elections has
been preparing for some time a proposed
constitutional amendment for the 1973
General Assembly that would lower the
residency requirement for voting in state
and congressional elections to six months.-
Lengthy waiting periods are
unnecessary to guard against fraud at the
ballot box, and they pose an
unconstitutional barrier to travel, Justice
Thurgood Marshall said for a 6-1 court
Tuesday.
All but a handful of states now require
at least six-months' residency.
The court did not say how long a state
should require a new resident to wait
before voting in state and congressional
elections, but Justice Thurgood Marshall
suggested 30 days might be proper.

1 5-footer. Dennis Wuycik was fouled on a
layup attempt by Royals.
Then Robert McAdoo, who had scored
18 of UNCs 32 in the first half, fouled out
with 9:48 remaining on what more than
a few Tar Heel people thought was a
dubious call.
This riled Carolina after a 30 minute
siesta. Suddenly Petty was picking up
charging fouls, the Heel fast break was
resurrected, and Dennis Wuycik hit two
foul shots to make it 6S-61. Then he
pumped an impossible left-handed iayup
over 6-10 Reggie Royals for 68-63.
F.ven though the Heeh cut it to three
with five seconds left, they had muffed
their opportunities. George Karl fouled
Samuel in desperation, and he made one
foul shot to wrap things up officially.
Thus. Carolina played its way into the
consolation game for the third time in four
trips to the national since 1967. Florida

Carolina, now nave

requirement.
Marshall said the constitutionally
acceptable period to make sure only
legitimate residents vote "is surely a matter
of degree." But he said even a three-month
rule is too long and 30 days "appears to be
an ample period of time for the state to
complete whatever administrative tasks are
necessary to prevent fraud."
The state is already under an order from
the U.S. Middle District Court in
Greensboro to let citizens who have lived
in a precinct for 30 days vote in local
elections. The Board has appealed that
ruling to the Supreme Court, but no trial
date has been set.
A previous Supreme Court ruling has
forced states to let people who have lived
in a state for 30 days vote for the president
and vice president.
Brock said the Tennessee ruling
contradicts the ruling on the election of
the president and vice president. In that
ruling, he said, the high court said voting
requirements for state elections are a
perogative of the states.
"Now the Supreme Court appears to be
contradicting itself," he said.
Brock said it is true the term of
residency is 3 debatable matter, but "from
our experience it would seem a six-month
requirement is both reasonable and would
permit the proper administrative
safeguards against the potential of fraud."
In handing down the decision. Judge
Marshall said, "There is no reason to think
that what Congress thought was
unnecessary to prevent fraud in
presidential and vice presidential elections
should not also be unnecessary in the
context of other elections."
Since the sweeping decision finds even a
three-month waiting period unjustified, it
apparently will have an impact on every
state. States may follow the new rule
voluntarily or await court actions invoking
the decision.

Saturday.
The first hull wa simply a Tar Heel
tragedy of errors. This ACT season has seen
most Carolina nvals pi ay deliberately to
avoid the fast break damage, so when the
Seminoles came out running Carolina
rdcted if it had received 2 new toy for
Christmas.
Santa Claus will not visit them again, not
after the Neds took the toy -probably a
smoke bomb -and stunk up the arena. The
passes inside were Hying out of bounds,
and the quick Seminoles snatched loose
bails up while UNC was still diving.
Carolina also likes to play in loosely
called games. Referees Bobby Scott and Irv
Brown apparently just finished blowing
the whistle on Rip Hawk and Swede
Hanson, instead of the Missouri Valley and
Pacific Eight conferences. And in the first
half. Florida State was outhustling and
outmuscling.
And Dean Smith was right earlier this
week when he talked about the quick
Seminole guards. Petty, with a Michael
Jackson face, defies shutter speeds on
cameras. When it wasn't Tar Heel
incompetence, it was Petty theft.
Carolina had a 4-0 lead off the press
early, with Royals the first victim, and still
managed to stay tied 1 7-17 despite slowly
unraveling. Then Petty assisted Royals
once and streaked for two baskets. King
and Howland Garrett hit four free throws,
and Royals, from Whiteville. popped two
20-footers. They were off to the races.
The Tar Heels stewed in the locker room
until a minute before the second half
started, then went back to the previous
showing. McAdoo 's 20-footer was the only
field goal in the first eight minutes.
Meanwhile. Petty scored six straight,
assisted Garrett and watched King drop
two free throws and a drive to make it
59-36.
King led FSU with 22 and Royals had
18. The Seminoles' late rally in ineptitude
won the turnover battle 27-26, aiid UNC
won the rebounding battle 51-35 in the
second half.
Carolina was also outshot 45.5 percent
to 4 1 .4 percent from the floor, hitting only
29 of 70. McAdoo scored his 24 points in
30 minutes of play, while Wuycik added 20
and Karl 1 1 . McAdoo also led all
rebounders with 15 while Royals had 10.
Florida State brought the smallest
contingent of fans to the Arena, while the
Heel boosters opened the evening as
boisterous as ever. But then they grew
silent . . . and mute . . . and finally a little
angry, throwing cups on the floor when
McAdoo fouled out.
That brought the UCLA and Louisville
people to the aid of the Seminoles.
And finally it was announced that the
UCLA pep band wa representing FSU. No
wonder the Tar Heels lost. But for eight
minutes-now forgotten in the record
book-they were the class of the country.

Student legislators ended deliberations
on the 1972-1973 Student Government
(SG) general budget Thursday night after
making several alterations in the original
proposals of the Finance Committee.
A major alteration of the night was an
increase in the Black Student Movement
(BSM) budget to a total $2,700.
Members of the BSM had earlier
expressed dissatisfaction with the
proposed budget allocation of $2,000 for
printing and publicity expenditures to
cover the costs of printing the BSM
newspaper, Black Ink. Allen Mask, editor
of Black Ink, said the paper had been
unable to print monthly issues this year
because it lacked financial resources.
He estimated the cost of printing
2,500 copies of an eight page newspaper
at S300.
Discussion of the issue centered
around the feasibility of SG support of
two campus newspapers. Legislator Doug
Martin stated since other campus
organizations, notably Scott Residence

Gretchen Dunn, a second year law
student, has filed suit in the student
Supreme Court against the Student Bar
Association's (SBA) constitutional
requirement that a student must have a
2.0 grade point average in order to run
for the presidency of the organization.
Dunn claims since the Student
Constitution, which has precedence over
the SBA constitution, does not have any
grade requirement for student office, the
SBA requirement "should be declared
null and void."
Dunn also says according to the
Student Constitution, a student
officeholder need only be "in good
standing" v ith the University.
Dunn aks that her cumulative average
of 1.9534 be rounded off to a 2.00 for
the purpose of determining eligibility for
the March 27 election.

College, published newspapers without
the aid of SG funding, the BSM was
receiving preferential treatment. Martin
argued for deleting the entire S2.000
appropriations or increasing the
allocation so Black Ink could be a viable
publication.
An amendment offered by Mark
Coverdale giving Black Ink an additional
S700 was accepted.
The Graduate and Professional
Student Federation (GPSFT suffered a
S2.000 cutback in budget appropriation
following a hotly contested debate. The
Finance Committee's proposed
appropriation was $20,000.
Two subsections under the GPSF
division were amended. The first
amendment states "organizations
composed primarily of graduates shall be
dependent on the GPSF for financial
support."
The other amendment dealt with the
manner in which funds for social
functions may be spent. It states, "No
money shall be expended for social

In an interview on Thursday. Dunn
said, "The SBA constitution's grade
requirement for office has never been
contested. In fact, this is the first time
the grades of candidates have been
checked or, at least, the first time they
haven't been disregarded."
Dunn said her name went on the SBA
bulletin board as a candidate on March 7.
She was not informed of her ineligibility
until March 21 .
"You can graduate from law school
with a 1 .75 average and run for student
body president with 1.75. Therefore. I
think I am equally qualified to be
president of the Student Bar
Association."
Dunn's case comes up before the
Student Supreme Court on Sunday or
Monday.

Two organizational allocations were
struck from the budget entirely - thoe
for Navy ROTC and the individual events
team. The latter is a new organization,
which according to legislator Dave
Gephart was struck from the budget
"because it does not have a long tradition
of greatness."
WCAR received $7,995 in addition to
the proposed S2.000 appropriation. The
$7,995 was allocated for replacing
worn-out equipment at the station.

The Fine Arts Festival was trimmed

of $3,300.
The final surplus unappropriated
balance was $3,253.20. SL will keep the
unappropriated funds in reserve to meet
additional organizational demands and
emergencies.
