6 Tha Daily Tcr Httl Tust&ry, Llirch 4, 1375 ir. by Siusn Shackelford Sports Editor In the All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) basketball picks, junior center Mitch Kupchak was the only University of North Carolina player named to either the first or second all-conference team. Regular season champ, Maryland, overwhelmingly dominated the selections, placing four of five starting players in the top 10. . Voted on the first team were Kupchak. N.C. State senior David Thompson, Wake Forest freshman Skip Brown, Clemson freshman Skip Wise and Maryland forward John Lucas. Monday before beginning practice, UNC head Coach Dean Smith expressed his disappointment at having only the single Tar Heel named, to the ACC Sports Writers' Association squad. "I think we deserve more than are there (AlKACC). We're disappointed that we don't have more,representation," said Smith. "However, I do think Maryland should have had that many since they won the regular season. "Fleischer and Brown are outstanding players, but their teams finished low," he continued. "The teams with the most wins should get the most representation. Three teams were tied in second, and it seems two each should go to them." Carolina ended tied for second with N.C. State and Clemson. Duke senior Bob Fleischer made the second team, joined by Clemson sophomore Wayne "Tree" Rollins, and the Maryland trio of Owen Brown, Brad Davis and Mo Howard. For Carolina, two all-ACC prospects were freshman guard Phil Ford and sophomore forward Walter Davis. "I'm really surprised (I was the only one)," said Kupchak. "I don't think it's fair. What I've done is what everybody else has done for me. I don't -think I'm the stronghold of this squad. They can play well without me. mm w Specializing in Seafood IBAR-B-QUE FRIED CHICKEN STEAK I Eat in or Carry out 383-25 1 9 330 HILLSBOROUGH RD . DURHA V MON. - TUES. - WED.S HiW a (if m.

Noting that Ford and Davis should have been chosen All-ACC, the 6-9 New Yorker said. "The only reason I grab the rebounds is because they (teammates) box out their men. The only reason I can score is because they throw me the ball. I've always felt anyone could do what I have." Kupchak leads the Tar Heels both in scoring and rebound averages. Going into last weekend's final regular season game, he was hitting 19 points with a .616 field goal percentage and pulling down 10 rebounds. Walter Davis admitted he was disappointed "a little bit," but that "I'd rather have a good tournament. It means the most to me. I'd thought I might not make it. I've been concentrating on aspects other than scoring, like defense.

' Monday announced their choice of Thompson as the Player of the Year, the first time a basketball player has won the honor three times in the 22 year history of the ACC Thompson, a 6-4 senior from Shelby.

"You haven't really savored the essence of the Continent until you've chugged along in a second-class compartment and shared the sausage-and-Chianti of an Italian family, or carried on a bouncing conversation in broken French, or simply leaned back and observed the European in his holiday-traveling mood. "On most other occasions in Europe, the tourist is likely to be a frenzied animal, divorced from a truly human contact with the population. In a train, this remoteness falls away. "A moment occurs when the sights and sounds of Europe become intimate and related to people-and that, to me, is a thrill which no monument or museum can ever provide."
