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.

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.

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.

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.
