In a span of less than 24 hours, the
North Carolina fencing team added three
victories to their record to up it to ten
wins and two losses.
The Tar Heels only defeats came at
the hands of national powers Illinois and
the Naval Academy.
Friday, night, the Heels hosted tough
ACC foe Maryland, then Saturday
morning traveled to Boone to fence the
Catamounts of Appalachian State and the
Tennessee Volunteers.
The Terrapins of Maryland proved to
be more tenacious than expected as
Carolina edged past, 15-12.
In the first round, the Tar Heels
appeared to be pulling far away as they
took a 7-2 lead, then head coach Ron
Miller began to substitute freely into the
lineup allowing the Terps to pull as close
as 13-10 by the third period.
Carolina won only three of the nine
individual bouts in the last round but it
proved to be enough as the Heels clinched
the meet in the 24th bout.
Seven of the duels went to 5-4
decision, the Heels winning only two.
In total team scoring for sabre, foils
and epee, Carolina won all three, 5-4. .
Maryland head coach John Cox spent
much of the evening walking up and
down the floor disputing various rules
and calls by the officials.
After the meet, when asked what his
views of the match were he said they
were "nothing printable."
He continued, "I honestly think we
should have won two or three more bouts
in the first round. Ill just have to say
there was some bad directing.
Miller noted that the Carolina
substitutions were the primary reasons
for the closeness of the match.
"I think that our fencing in the first
round was up to our best potential of the
year," commented Miller. "But I was
disappointed with the overall meet. We
were overconfident and then let down."
The Tar Heels proved to be in total
control of their confidence Saturday
morning as they trounced Appalachian
20-7, then went on to beat the
Volunteers 19-8.

forward Tom McMillen made a clutch
defensive play and scored an easy basket in
the final moments to preserve a 69-66
victory for the seventh-ranked Terrapins.
McMillen, who led all scorers with 24
points, blocked a shot by Clemson's Terrell

points with less than a minute remaining.
McMillen took the ball away from Suit
and seconds later took a pass alone under
the basket and made it 69-64 with six
seconds left.
Clemson steadily chipped away at
Maryland's lead in the final 10 minutes as
coach Tates Locke rotated four players at
a time after running out of timeouts.
Maryland's Len Elmore and Clemson's
Rick Hunt were ejected for fighting at the
opening of . the second half. Neither had
scored a point.
Clemson coach Tates Locke denied
after the game that the fight had been
started deliberately. Hunt had been in the
game only 23 seconds when the swinging
started.
Gregg was Clemson's high scorer with
21 points. Maryland is now 17-4 while
Clemson is 10-12.

clinched a tie for the ACC regular-season
championship. The Wolfpack beat Wake
Forest Saturday night to run its ACC
mark to 9-0.
Carolina is in second place, with
Maryland's Terps one game back.
Carolina defeated the seventh-ranked
Terrapins, 95-85, last week, to hand
Maryland its fourth consecutive setback.
Duke is in fourth place.

THE SCANDAL
OF SECRECY
John W. Gardner, Chairman
Common Cause
Former Secretary
of Health. Education and Welfare
One of the weird and nonsensical facts about our
government at all levels is that much of the pub
lic's business is done in the deepest, darkest secrecy.
Citizens assume that only questions of national se
curity and some aspects of criminal justice are dealt
with in secret. Little do they know! Most of the time
our public officials act as though the way they con
duct our business is none of our business.
In 1972 roughly one-third of the Senate Public
Works Committee meetings were held in secret. The
figure for the Senate Agriculture Committee was 59
percent, f6r the House Appropriations Committee
over 90 percent. The House Ways and Means Com
mittee, which drafts the laws governing every federal
tax dollar you and I pay, is notoriously secretive. Se
curity is so tight that even the staff assistant of a Con
gressman who is on the Committee can't attend the
closed meetings. What are they hiding?
All sessions of congressional committees and
records of all votes taken at such sessions should
normally be open to the public. Committees should be
allowed to close a meeting only for considerations of
national security or invasion of personal privacy, and
the procedure for closing it should be carefully pro
tected against abuse.
In the Executive Branch, virtually everyone asso
ciated with national security acknowledges that the
system of classifying documents to preserve secrecy
has been badly abused all too often for the pur
pose of concealing bureaucratic error. And the zeal
for secrecy extends to every government agency un
der the control of the Executive Branch. Regulatory
agencies often meet behind closed doors, omit public
hearings, and suppress reports the public should see.
Of course, the secrecy involved is only secret-from-the-public.
The special interest lobbyists know very
well what goes on in those hush-hush meetings. Quite
often they're right in there with the decision makers.
The only one who has splinters in his nose from bump
ing against closed doors is John Q. Public.
Now there is a resolution before the Senate
sponsored by Senators Humphrey (D., Minn.) and
Roth (R., Del.) (plus 11 other sponsors) which would
open all Senate committee meetings. A bill (S 260) re
cently introduced in the Senate by Lawton Chiles of
Florida and in the House (HR 4) by Dante Fascell, also
of Florida, would open all Legislative and Executive
Branch meetings except those dealing with national
security or involving personal privacy.
Information is power, and secrecy is the most con
venient means of keeping that power out of the hands
of the people. What the people don't know, they can't,
object to.
It's time to change all that And you can help. Write
your two Senators and your Congressman. Tell them
you want them to open up the system. Or join Com
mon Cause (2100 M Street NW, Washington, D.C.
20037) and ally yourself with 200,000 other members
in getting these changes made. We're going to give
this nation back to its citizens. The student member
ship rate is $7.00. Don't just stand there!

epeemen Bob Peterson and Bill Shipman
in foil while switching foilsmen Walter
Futch and Jim Scott to epee. He also
used epeeman Dave Lynn in sabre.
"Jim Krause and Lynn had really good
weekends overall," said Miller, "both
were undefeated. It was also nice to see
Bill Shipman back in good form with his
three wins over Maryland. I was especially
pleased with Rob Rivers and his two
victories over Carter, Maryland's number
one fencer."
The Tar Heels will have to fence as
well if not better to beat the
ever-improving Blue Devils of Duke when
the two teams face off Tuesday in
Carmichael Auditorium. Duke defeated
both Appalachian and Tennessee on last
Friday and Saturday. The 22-5 win over
AS U and the 23-4 victory against the
Volunteers upped the Dukes' record to
12 wins and only one loss.
The match is the season Finale for both
the Tar Heels and the Blue Devils whose
7-4 overall and 3-2 conference record
were good enough to earn them a third
place finish in the ACC.
"Duke is really going to be tough,"
stated Miller. "This is the only match
with which I will say I am conservatively
optimistic. They have better depth than
us in two weapons but I think the
experience of our fencers will begin to
show and take its toll."
Miller made note of the importance of
the crowd size and reaction during
fencing meets. "The crowd at the
Maryland meet was great; they really
helped a lot. It was five times as big as the
crowd in College Park last year. That
really surprised the Maryland fencers."
Led by all-ACC fencer Ed Pettis the
Blue Devils should prove to be a
formidable opponent, one for which
Miller says he "should have no trouble
getting the fencers up because there is so
much pride at stake."

TV awie stink
Nothing could be finer than basketball at Carolina . . . except when you have to
watch the Heels on the tube.
Actually, at first it all sounded so good. Carolina meets Florida State in a rematch
of last year's NCAA semifinal. This time the scene of battle was to be big, bad Madison
Square Garden, high enough above Penn Station not to hear the trains, and low
enough to escape the grey, polluted clouds that could gag a maggot.
The disappointments, however, came early and fast. The First was when the game
announcers disclosed their identity as being Ray Scott and Bill OTJonnell. This
awesome duo treated the television audience to such enlightened tidbits as "If patience
is personified, Carolina is patience." Also, Ray Scott promised us (Boy Scouts honor)
that he would make sure that he'd "tell you about hometowns as the game
progresses." Great, RRay thanks!
The second disappointment of the afternoon occurred simultaneously with the
rolling of the first commercial. Yes, folks, remember that when you feel like your life
is sinking and a tidal wave approaches, there your insurance man will be behind the
helm of the great ship of life, piloting a course especially for you. I can just see my
little bespeckled insurance man over the port rail feeding the fish.
Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the game over television was the
rediscovery of Madison Square Garden college basketball fans. I had hoped that they
had changed since my last visit to that imposing edifice, but unfortunately they have
not. Upon the introduction of players and coaches, the New York throngs emitted the
most intelligent vocalizations that they are capable of bringing forth. This verbal
cornucopia included a various assortment of "boos," "youbumyas," and of course, the
classic "go back to Flooruhduh, you stink." Bright and perceptive are those who dwell
in America's "mecca of basketball."
The fourth and final frustrating aspect of watching the Heels Saturday was that the
refs can't hear you. What fun is a basketball game if you can't tell the referee that if he
had one more eye, he'd be a cyclops?
In retrospect, I have decided to drastically change my viewing habits. Firstly, I will
turn down the audio on the set and turn on the radio broadcast. Secondly, during all
commercial breaks I will bop on over to the fridg and pull out a beer (and you can bet
your zumbazumba that the beer I will drink has not won any ribbons, blue or
otherwise). Finally, when I have reached the desperation point in terms of
incompetent referees, I'll quietly direct a short recitation of the Lord's Prayer to Oral
Roberts and hope for spiritual intervention.
