Four Corners chokes State, 69-64
Tar Heels hold off late surge;
Ford paces Carolina with 24
By GENE UPCHURCH
Sports Editor
It would seem that old stormin'
Norman would' ve figured it out by
now. But that old nemesis the Four
Corners returned to haunt Norm
Sloan and his N.C. State Wolf pack in
a 69-64 loss to Carolina Wednesday
night in Carmichael Auditorium.
Carolina, with Phil Ford darting
back and forth in the stall game, pulled
away after a scare late in the second
half. The Wolf pack had clenched its
fists and fought back from a 12-point
deficit early in the second half to only
one with 7:36 left in the game at 53-52
on two free throws by State freshman
Kenny Matthews.
Everyone in Carmichael held their
collective breaths as the ball changed
possession twice without a score by
either team until Carolina sophomore
Mike O'Koren blocked a shot by
State's Tony Warren, and Geff
Crompton won a jump ball as
Carolina gradually built up its lead
again.
A spectacular slam dunk by
Crompton who saw 21 minutes of
action in the game with three-and-a-half
minutes left put the point on the
exclamation and Carolina ahead by
nine and the game out of reach for
State.
"I've been waiting for one of those
for a long time, and it sure felt good,"
Crompton said.
The Tar Heels kept the Wolf pack off
balance most of the game with quick,
fingertip passing from one side of the
court to the other. State stayed in the
zone defense it has lived and died with
this season, trying to force Carolina to
take outside shots. But Carolina
passed the ball back and forth, looking
for the open shot.
"We didn't play well against their
zone in the second half," UNC Coach
Dean Smith said after the game. "We
stayed in a zone offense where I could
see the open man under the basket, but
their quick men underneath kept our
guards from seeing the open man."
Carolina led by 10 at halftime, 35
25, after a first half in which State
could do few things right. The team
shot only 28 percent in the first period
and Hawkeye Whitney, one of the
sparkplugs for the team, had only two
points (one-for-six from the floor,
zero-for-one from the free throw line).
Mike O'Koren and Carolina freshman
Al Wood combined to help contain
Whitney, who finished the game with
only six points.
Warren led State with 20 points and
was determined to bring the Wolfpack
back late in the game when Carolina
was in its stall game. He stole the ball
twice consecutively from Wood at
midcourt, raced down the floor and
stuffed it through. On the second steal.
Wood slipped and twisted his right
knee. He was able to leave the floor on
his own.
Ford led Carolina with 24 points
while O'Koren had 15 points and II
rebounds. O'Koren got into early foul
trouble and fouled out of the game
with 3:13 left.
"I got overly excited and drained
myself," he said. "I was feeling it
toward the end of the first half. I like it
when the crowd gets rowdy 'cause I'm
a rowdy guy. It gets hard to think out
there when it's so loud."
Tom Zaliagiris had 10 points.
Carolina is now 14-2 overall and
remains tied with Duke for the ACC
lead at 4-1.

Committee proposal
offers parking deck
to ease shortages
By JAY JENNINGS
Stan Wriltr
A study on the parking problems on
the UNC campus proposes building a
600- to 800-space parking deck between
the Institute of Government and the
School of Law.
The parking deck is one of several
recommendations in a study
commissioned by the University and
conducted by Kimley-Horn and
Associates of Raleigh. The study is an
attempt to find ways to ease the daily
parking hassle on campus.
Copies of the study have been
distributed to the Parking and Traffic
Advisory Committee, which will meet
next month to develop reactions and
alternatives to the recommendations.
John Temple, vice chancellor for
business and finance, cautioned that the
study is advisory and that the University
may ignore or reformulate the proposals
as it sees fit.
The study strongly suggests that relief
from the parking crunch lies both in
expansion of public transit service,
mainly park-and-ride lots, and in
additional on-campus parking facilities.
"One or the other alone will not solve
the problem," the study states.
The study recommends a parking
deck because "ground level parking on
campus has reached the point that any
further addition of parking lots will
significantly sacrifice existing
greenways and woodland. . .if any
additional parking facilities are
provided on campus, it is almost
imperative that they be placed in vertical
facilities rather than spread on ground
level."
The proposed deck behind the
Institute of Government would have
vehicular access to both Ridge and
South roads. The advantages ol the site,
as listed by the study, are:
Its location on the eastern
periphery of campus near Highway 54, a
major artery into campus.
Its proximity to Carmichael
Auditorium, the Carolina Union and
the Paul Green Theatre, all of which
draw visitors for special night events.
Nearby stops for town bus routes.
Congestion would be drawn from
the center of campus.
A minimal disruption of landscape
and athletic grounds.
Also recommended was expansion of
a park-and-ride shuttle bus system,
utilizing sites on the outskirts of Chapel
Hill where commuters could park and
be carried by frequent buses to the
campus.
Temple said sites on Manning Drive
between James Dorm and N.C. 15-501
Bypass are being considered for such
lots.
Other recommendations in the study
include:
Construction of a pedestrian
overpay: over South Road between
Coker Hall and the Kenan Labs area.
The study noted that pedestrian-vehicle
conflicts there delay South Road traffic
and cars leaving the Bell Tower lot.
Construction of improved
walkways and walkway lighting from
the Bell Tower and Ramshead lots to the
libraries, the Carolina Union and
Carmichael Auditorium.
Purchase of land at the southeast
corner of Pittsboro and McCauley
Streets as a possible future site for
another 300- to400-space parking deck.
Institution of parking fees at night
during special events such as basketball
games, concerts and theater
productions.
SG discovers surplus funds in excess of $184,000
By HOWARD TROXLER
Staff Writer
Student Government maintained a surplus
fund of more than $184,00 that was not
discovered until Nov. 22, 1977, according to a
memo from Student Body Treasurer Todd
Albert to Student Body President Bill Moss.
The memo states that as of May 16, 1977, the
beginning of the fiscal year, Student
Government had a general surplus fund of
$184,443. This figure represents the net worth of
Student Government before any student fees for
the 1977-78 school year came in.
"The surplus fund (known officially as the
general surplus) has accumulated over several
years," Albert explained earlier this fall. "At the
end of each fiscal year, all unspent monies revert
to the general surplus category."
Several members of the Campus Governing
Council, the student legislative body responsible
for allocating student fees to the various student
organizations, reacted to the discovery with
surprise.
"I was told that we were starting out with
maybe $85,000 in the general surplus," one
council member said. "At one time, the figure
was as low as $50,000.
"I would say that most council members don't
know how much money there really is."
All CGC members theoretically have the
authority to inspect the financial records of
Student Government at any time, but none of the
council members contacted since December
knew how much money was in the general
surplus.
"I don't know," CGC Speaker Chip Cox said
when asked how much money was in the surplus.
"I've heard estimates ranging from $25,000 to
$150,000."
When asked why no one knew of the surplus
before Nov. 22, Cox said, "I assume most people
just didn't ask."
But at least one council member disputed this
assumption.
"I know for a fact that at least two people from
CGC and some others connected with the
executive branch of Student Government were
informed that we had a surplus of $80,000 to
$85,000 in late September and, this must be
emphasized, that we could spend about $40,000
of that," CGC member Darius Moss said.
"However, they were told, and were heard to
repeat in front of me, that this must not be made
known to others, i.e., other CGC representatives
and the student body."
Moss blamed the undisclosed surplus on the
Student Activities Fund Office (SAFO).
"I guess if we were to place responsibility
somewhere, it might be apparent that all roads
lead to SAFO, and its director in particular, Mrs.
Frances Sparrow," Moss said. "There is no
doubt in my mind that if anyone knew the size of
our surplus, she did."
Student Body President Bill Moss said he was
among the Student Government officials who
did not know the amount of the surplus. "
"I didn't think I needed to know," he said. "1
have a student body treasurer, and I have to
delegate responsiblity and authority and depend
on the expertise of the treasurer."
Both Moss and Albert maintained that some
sort of surplus fund is necessary.
"We have to hold back some money for cash
flow," Albert said. "Money has to be kept in the
surplus for next year's budget, since
organizations will be spending before any money
really comes in.
"Just because the figure is there on paper as
what we can spend doesn't mean that the money
is really there in the bank."
"That's why we need to keep a surplus for cash
purposes," Albert said. He estimated that there
should be at least $40,000 in the surplus fund at
all times. .
President Moss reiterated Albert's argument.
"There are two reasons that we must keep a
surplus' fund," he said. "The first is cash flow.
Our budget is based on an estimate of anticipated
income we don't have the money that we
allocate in the bank when ve allocate it. We have
to have the surplus so we don't go bankrupt
waiting for the money to trickle in.
"The second reason is for long-term
expenditures. I think it's very wise of CGC to
keep an outside surplus of operating
expenditures. There are some expenditures that
only come up every four or five years
typewriters, for instance, and other sorts of
hardware.
"There is a need for an emergency fund in case
the unexpected happened and the money is
needed."
Moss said that a certain amount of money
must be in the surplus at all times.
UNC able to comply
More med students required
By AMY McRARY
Staff Writer
The UNC medical school will be able to comply with a revised law
saying the school must increase its third-year enrollment to continue
receiving federal funds, a school official said Wednesday.
But Duke medical school officials still are deciding whether to
refuse an increase in their number of prospoective doctors and thus
lose annual grants of more than $680,000.
"It will be very difficult for us to accommodate more students, but
we could do it," said John W. Stokes, director of UNC medical center
public affairs.
"We are still considering the amendment now," James Bennett,
executive director of health affairs at Duke, said Wednesday. "We
are hopeful because the amendment expanded the pool of applicants
for our enrollment."
The law in question is an amended revision of the Public Health
Educational Assistance Act of 1977. The act first required any
medical school receiving federal aid based on enrollment to reserve
"an equitable number" of spaces in its third-year class for United
States citizens transferring from foreign medical colleges.
The rule raised a flood of controversy from schools throughout the
country who contended that their academic freedom to admit
students was being usurped by the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare.
The amendment to the bill threw out the foreign transfer clause
and changed the requirements necessary to receive federal funds. The
original law set the transfer quota at 6 percent of a school's first-year
enrollment. The amendment lowers the quota to 5 percent and states
that additional students do not necessarily have to be foreign
transfers.
Instead, additional students can come from United States or
foreign schools as long as students meet the school's admission
standards.
Under the new quotas, UNC would have to increase its thud-year
class by eight. Duke would need six more third-year students.
"This amendment certainly helps us in terms of admitting
students," Stokes said. "In terms of physical growth, we just couldn't
have taken the 10 foreign transfers we wcv.ld have had to admit under
the original law."
Stokes said that accommodating the eight additional students
necessary under the amendment also would be a problem. However,
he added, renovations in McNider, a classroom for medical students,
and the construction of a new faculty, laboratory and office building
would make the move easier.
If UNC does comply with the law, it will receive federal funds of
about $2,000 per student for the upcoming academic year, a total of
more than $1 million. The funds are scheduled to increase by $50
each year for the next two years the law is in effect.
According to Bennett, Duke would have a problem accepting
more students because of limited facilities and professors.
"Our faculty is already taxed to the utmost," Bennett said, "Any
additional students cause us problems in terms of lab space and
patients for the students to work with,
"A slot in a medical school is not like a place in history class. You
can't just push in another chair."
Duke, whose classes are limited to 114 students, could lose an
estimated $600,000, Bennett said. The University already has asked
its alumni and patrons to increase their fund support in anticipation
of the loss.
Duke previously has admitted only third-year students whose
spouses were interns at the hospital.
Bennett also said few third-year applicants are prepared for Duke's
medical program as many third-year courses are taught during a
student's second year.
Duke could qualify for an exemption from the law. According to
John West, program officer of the HEW's Bureau of Health
Manpower, schools still could receive federal funds and not increase
their enrollment. They would be exempt if an increase hurt their
accreditation or if the school had made an effort to recruit students
but could not find any meeting admission standards.

Survey shows
student opinions
on Code, BSM
By BERNIE RANSBOTTOM
Staff Writer
Almost half of the UNC student body
favors retention of the Honor Code in a
modified form, according to a survey
conducted for the Daily Tar Heel last
semester.
Less than 10 percent of the students
surveyed favored abolition of the code.
Approximately 22 percent favored retention
of the code in its present form.
But slightly more than 45 percent of the
respondents said the Honor Code should be
retained with modifications. The Faculty
Council will vote on proposed Honor Code
changes at its meeting Friday.
Other topics covered in the poll included
funding for the Carolina Gay Association,
the condition of race relations on campus,
the role of the Black Student Movement and
academic issues such as a four-course load.
The survey was conducted Nov. 14 to 16,
1977, by six members of Frederick Russ'
Business Administration 168 class. The
survey was administered to 398 students,
chosen with the aim of obtaining a
representative sample on the basis of race,
sex and geographic distribution.
Almost 92 percent of the students
surveyed returned the questionnaire. Those
conducting the poll termed the response rate
very good.
The widest range of answers came in
response to a question on c.impus race
relations. Race relations is considered a
