Heels have one down, three to go by Carl Neal Assistant Sports Editor NEW YORK- Madison Square Garden is usually good to Carolina and Saturday night was no exception. The Tar Heels of Carolina soundly defeated the Titans of Oral Roberts, 82-65, in the famed Garden. The victory in the first round of the National Invitational Tournament gave UNC the right to play the University of Massachusetts tonight in the quarterfinal round at 7 p.m. The game will be seen on regional television in the Tar Heel state. The game was close until shortly before the end of the first half. Two free throws by Mitch Kupchak with 4: 18 left in the half made the score 29-28 and gave Carolina the lead for good. The rest of the half saw the Tar Heels outscore the Titans, 8-2, to make the score at the half 37-30. Bobby Jones had six points and one assist at that point, and guard Darrell Elston hit six of nine shots and held Ail-American Richie Fuqua to six points. The lead was slowly increased in the second half until it hit the final margin when Jones made the score 59-42 about midway through the half. Oral Roberts, with two starters fouled out, couldn't close the margin, even when Carolina cleared the bench with the score 75-58. Dean Smith said that the Tar Heels played well considering the three hours of practice that they had had preparing for the game. The team had talken almost a week off after the loss to Wake Forest in the ACC tournament. Smith went on to say that the game plan had almost gone off as expected. "We try to change the pace in any game from what our opponent likes best. We didn't try to stall the game, but Lied to control the tempo." The Titans like to play a run-and-gun style which had made them the nation's highest scoring team, averaging 98.5 points per game. For the game, Jones was the superstar, hitting nine of 15 shots for 19 points and grabbing 15 rebounds, a game high. Elston was the Heels' high scorer with 20 on 10 of 16 shots. Kupchak played a graceful game underneath and connected on nine of 1 1 free throws on the way to a I3-point performance. George Karl led in assists with six. - ' , Fuqua led the poor-shooting Titans with 20, followed by Greg McDougald with 14 and Eddie Woods with 10.

The win improved Carolina's overall record to 23-7, while Oral finished the season 21-6. : In other NIT opening-round games, Notre Dame celebrated St. Patrick's day by upsetting Southern California, 69-65.

Schindei) Pub Board okays budget proposals by Greg Turosak Staff Writer The Publications Board approved Monday afternoon budget proposals for The Daily Tar Heel, the Yackety Yack and the Pub Board, but postponed action on the WCAR budget. Due to the lengthy discussion concerning WCAR's proposal to receive funds in order to purchase over $37,000 worth of FM equipment, the board will meet again on Wednesday. The board approved the Tar Heel budget proposal, with the idea in mind that the DTH will move towards future financial independence. The budget appropriation the DTH is requesting from student fees for 1973-74 stands at $47,070, down $7,730 from the present year's appropriation of $54,800. At the meeting, DTH Business Manager Murray Pool said he felt that if everything works out favorably, and if advertising revenue rises sharply in the next few years along with the increae in the number of Chapel Hill merchants, the DTH might expect to be financially independent within two or three years. "I drew up the budget with the idea in mind that the Tar Heel will take the first steps toward financial independence," Pool said. Although the budget appropriation request for the DTH is lower than the previous year, total expenditures are projected to be rising by almost $20,000 in the coming year, to a total of $143,070. . The Tar Heel proposes to make up the difference by increasing total advertising revenue by 31i4 per cent and by increasing - subscription - revenue from $3,000 to $8,000. The Yackety Yack is asking for an increased appropriation of $9,500, $500 more than for the current year. Total expenditures are projected to be $56,500 for the Yack, down $4,500 from this year, with the Yack assuming there will be a drop of over 12 per cent in subscription revenue in 1973-74. The Pub Board proposed to increase its own budget appropriation to $765, up from this year's budget by $50. All of the increase will go to operation, maintenance, insurance and tags for the truck the Pub Board bought this year. The budget proposals of the DTH, the Yack and the Pub Board must all be approved by the Campus Governing Council (CGC) at budget hearings this week and next before any funds can be released. The board discussed WCAR's proposal for funds to purchase FM equipment, which the station must have guaranteed before the FCC will grant WCAR an FM license, for much of the meeting. Board member Bill Snodgrass requested that 1 further discussion of WCAR's proposal continue on Wednesday so that "we don't get ourselves into an open-ended sieve" of future expenditures for the radio station. On Wednesday the board will also consider budgets- for the Carolina Quarterly and the undergraduate literary magazine. .epnei resigns posit as liomisiiniff director to comDilette deg ree 1 1 Robert Kepner ... resigns housing post by Bob Ripley Staff Writer Robert Kepner, director of the Department of Residence Life since its inception three years ago, resigned Monday.

Winston, Connor and Alexander. A plan has been formulated for coeding the three dorms. Winston would have an all-male first floor, room-by-room coeding on second and third and an all-female fourth floor. The top three floors of Connor would remain female with 34 males on first. Alexander would have seclion-by-section coeding throughout the dorm. AH three dorms would be locked at women's closing hours to provide security for female residents. A paid student position would be established for a night clerkvto admit college residents after hours. Problems arising from this arrangement were discussed at a Boul ton-Cask in committee meeting Monday afternoon. The present proposal would house 272 women in the college and only 172 men. Discussion concerning the animosity that might arise in Connor if second floor were made all-male and the learning opportunity that might be wasted if ' Alexander were not all-coed was had. The two alternatives are to be discussed in the college and feedback presented at the next committee meeting. Renovations proposed for the college include making two double rooms into a multipurpose , area on second floor Alexander and third floor Connor. Gamma Sigma Sigma sorority would be asked to vacate the basement of Connor, and Physical Plant would be asked to move from the basement of Winston to provide more resident space. On the learning side of the proposal, one General College adviser will ask to be relieved of his present duties and be made responsible for freshmen and sophomore academic counseling. An associate professor would be released from one course to spend 10 hours a week as Academic Coordinator. . The securing of two to four advanced Teaching Assistants to leach courses in the college, help students plan courses and leach reading and independent study is proposed. Courses in which interest has been shown range from self defense to personal insurance to foreign language. Selection of the specific courses and the academic participants will be left entirely to the students.
