The verv impress! -pect of this year's events is that the questioning and re -evaluating has come about even though the football team compiled a 9-2 regular season and a trip to the Gator Bowl, even though the basketball team won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship and third place in the National F inals. Tough re-evaluation is usually reserved for losing" balL cl abs. M ore and m o r e people a r e questioning athletics questioning the unholy but rapidly increasing professionalism in the college game. As if suddenly awakening from a deep, contented sleep, these people are reconsidering the role and importance of athletics in society. This questioning has been absent for a long, long time when it comes to athletics, particularly college athletics. Winning was worth any price and only faint whispers were heard in disagreement. Now, ".hough, winning is still the name of the game, the means of attaining those victories are coming under increasingly close scrutiny. The change in attitudes is healthy.

In the first match, Danny Rizzo of Blue and Bob Schvventker of Red tied Vi 1 ' 2, with Rizzo shooting 75 and his opponent carding a 76. John Dees of the Blue was medalist with a 74 and he defeated the Red's Phil Mosley 3-0. But the Red came back as Bob Kaylor beat Mike Lberhardt IVi-Vi and Dave La Barre defeated Bill Spry 3-0, with La Barre shooting 77. ss about merely improving football. They wanted to eliminate it. Constructive criticism, so long ab-ent. has begun to flourish this year and the Tar Heel athletic department is better for it: better if for no other reason than coming to the realization there are people to- whom it must answer. The progressive steps taken so far, though important in that they are beginnings, are not enough. There is a strong and sometimes desperate need for review by those outside the athletic department. There should not have to be a scandal or a death for people to act and provide feedback. Football, basketball and other sports at Carolina will no doubt survive and grow. Popularity of "the game" is increasing, not decreasing. This rapidly increasing interest, which at times dangerously approaches devotion, demands not only a questioning and more sophisticated audience but also an athletic department willing to hold itself up to the mirror. Change is much better quicker, easier and less disruptive if it can come about within a particular system. That system, in this case, athletics, must be willing to make changes and hold itself up for review, however. If those in the football program, the basketball program, the baseball program and all the other athletic grains at Carolina aren't vv'lling or - ,:iehow aren't able to improve and keep a close watch on themselves, then someone else is going to have to do it. The at!- tic program at Carolina, from a. moderately informed view, appears to be in good shape and not simply in the won-lost department. There is a constant need for improvement, a constant need for re-evaluation no matter how strong and responsible a sports program seems, and those needs should never be hidden beneath a one-tracked hunger for victory. Winning and being responsible are not incongruous. m CAMPUSWDE PATO SALE Free-for-all Barter in the Pit Today 12-5 Swap old albums, posters, clothes, cricket boxes, etc. 87C DAY 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. CHOPPED SIRLOIN w 2 veg. and bread HE KACCHAE entrance behind the Zoom self service 87t 3rd ANNUAL CRAFT FAIR Carolina Designer Craftsmen DORTON ARENA, RALEIGH APRIL 28 & 29 10 A.M. 9 P.M.

Nevertheless, the squud Stic men Duke by Don Davis Sports Writer The Tar Heel lacrosse team shouldn't have any trouble getting ready for this afternoon's game against Duke, according to Coach Fred Mueller. In addition to it being another Carolina-Duke rivalry, the contest which begins at 5 p.m. on N a y Field is a must for ! the Heels -f they are to be assured of a winning season. After last Saturday rainy overtime loss to Roanoke College, the Tar Heels are sporting a b-4 record with two more games left in the season. Beating Duke would mean at least a -5 record. "We'll have to be the underdoes R uggers blitz Norfolk by Bryan Blanchflower Special to DTH The UNC Rugby team left no doubts on Saturday when it squashed Norfolk, 13-4. Amidst a monsoon downpour, the ruggers slipped and splashed their way past a formidable opponent. Carolina scored early on a thirty-yard scamper by Len Anderson. John Parsons completed the conversion kick. A deep kick by Norfolk set up their only score as their wing and outside center picked up a loose ball and carried it into goal. In the second half the rain came and the Tar Heels rolled. Doug Roeser made one of his famous interceptions deep in Carolina territory. After sprinting twenty yards to midfield, two Norfolk backs neared to tackle Roeser. He deftly passed the ball to fly-half Ben Porter who sprinted the final fifty yards for the score. The final score of the game came on a penalty kick by John Parsons. By this time the field had become a mud vat making running impossible. The Norfolk backs kicked repeatedly deep into Carolina territory, but to no avail as speedy Dwight Trew defended UNC's goal line. This victory boosts the UNC Rugby team's record to 8-1 and a chance at the Southern championship. A championship match would have to be played against Navy or Birmingham for the Carolina Ruggers to win the Carling Cup outright, but alas, the UNC team has been forsaken by its own Student Legislature. The Rugby team's requests for funds was denied for the first time this year and so a championship match between the powers of the South is impossible because of lack of funds. mxmm t 1 IT hiT TMli TV rw L HANKIIN STREET NOW PLAYING 1111 CfAflO HiAf GP METROCOLOR MGM 1:40-3:27-5:14-7:13-9:00 -tA-tS J ViSSooe O OPENS FRIDAY CECIL.
