Crowd rumblings sparked with the surprised hellos of
returning alumni, the clicking of camera shutters and silver
spiked heels filled UNC's new Paul Green Theatre with the life of
Playmakers Friday afternoon.
The crowd had gathered for the dedication of the tall, sand
tone brick theater, a long-awaited addition to the Carolina
theater tradition.
Drama department chairperson Arthur Housman, who
presided over the ceremony, dispensed with formality at the
outset with his opening remark, "Welcome to a party.".Visit6rs,
seemed willing to comply.
Playmakers, who came from across the state and included
retired UNC journalism professor Walter Spearman, CBS
casting director Robert Dale Martin, playwrights Kermit
Hunter and Nancy Henderson and television actor James
Secrest.
Tom Lambeth, chairperson of the University Board
of Trustees, and Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor shared the stage
with Housman and Paul Green. Other state and University
officials watched from the audience, including former N.C. Gov.
Bob Scott and his wife Jessie Rae, whom he gives credit as the
impetus for the appropriation of the theater's construction
funds during the 1971 N.C. General Assembly.
Also in attendance was Ellen Wright, widow of American
writer Richard Wright, who flew to North Carolina for the
opening from her home in Paris. Green adapted Wright's classic
novel. Native Son, into a drama whose performance later Friday
night officially would christen the new theatre.
Drama department chairperson Housman praised Green as
an "uncommon common man" and as a playwright whose
innovations in American folk drama influenced the whole

nation. Chancellor Taylor joined Housman in praise ot"gentle
man" Green, who began his theater career in the legendary
Frederick H. Koch's playwriting class at UNC.
Green, in his remarks which followed a performance of the
N.C. String Quartet, credited Proff Koch for the creation ol a
vision for creative enterprise at UNC. . .
Koch's own memorial theater, the Forest theatre, is situated
appropriately across the street from the new one dedicated to

Drug enforcement agents from the
State Bureau of Investigation are probing
drug - dispensation . procedures at the
Student Health Service for possible
violations of state narcotics laws.anSBI
official confirmed last week.
Keith Bulla, chief of the SBI narcotics
squad, said two of his agents visited the
U niycrsity health facility in late August to
examine prescription and dispensation
records kept by medical personnel.
A source close to the probe said the
agents are trying to determine if nurses at
the Student Health Service have
dispensed drugs unlawfully under
regulations down in state statutes.
State law says only pharmacists can
dispense prescriptions written by licensed
physicians, while nurses are allowed to
administer medication only according to
the doctor's directions.
District Attorney Wade Barber last
week. said he will decide whether to
present the case to an Orange County
grand jury after the SBI completes its
inquiry.
The probe came in the wake of
.... , V -.
o
newspaper reports in April indicating
physicians may have been in violation ol ;
federal and state drug laws in dispensing
, the mild tranquilizer diazepam. .
manufactured under the trade name :
Valium, to the UNC- Sports Medicine
Department. 4 ' - ;
T he department receives its medical
supplies from the Student Health Service.
But a source cjose to the probe said the
SBI investigation only peripherally
touches the charges made in the spring
against the Sports Medicine Department.
After the newspaper stories in April, an
inspector from 'the N.C Department of
Human Resources visited the Student
Health Serv ice to investigate the charges,
an official of the N.C. Department of
Justice said.
The inspector found discrepancies in
drug dispensing methods and inventory
procedures, but the improprieties' were
corrected before the drug inspector's
second visrt to the health facility in June,
said Roy Epps. assistant secretary of the
N.C. Department of Human Resources.
The Human Resources report of
conditions before and after the two
inspections was forwarded to the Justice
Department, where SBI agents began
their probe in August.
ttuoim
Dr. James A. Taylor, director of the
Student Health Service, said the Human
Resources report pointed out problems in
drug inventory methods and differences
in opinion regarding how some drugs
should be dispensed. ,
- "Basically, it was a problem of
interpretation" Taylor said last week.
"Dispensing and administering are two
different things. A nurse may administer,
but not dispense various drugs."
Another problem was the Student
Health Sen ice procedure in keeping
track of controlled substances, Taylor
said. "We are supposed to put a red check
mark next to a controlled substance on an
inventory list. We were not doing that,"
he said.
Taylor said he believes no laws have
been broken intentionally by medical
personnel at the University.
"The last, thing we want to do is be
breaking the law," Taylor said. "Again, I
think it goes back to how things are
interpreted. To the best of our knowledge
at the time, we were doing things
correctly." " ' ' ' ' '
Bulla said a report of the SBI probe is
to be sent to the district attorney's office
by the end of the month.
ean queen
ends
reign,
mm
says soy long to crown
She's Sharon Jarvis on the roster of the
UNC majorettes, but her friends call her
B.Q.-for Bean Queen.
Jarvis has reigned for two years as
North Carolina's Soybean Queen. No
kidding. She is paid $50 a month to travel
the state spreading the good news about
the crop Gov. Jim Hunt calls "Tar
Heel pearls." ;
" "People realize it's a job and an honor
but they also think it's funny," says
Jarvis, who handed over her crown
Saturday night to a senior at NCSU. She
wore a corsage' of what else?
soybeans.
"When people first find out I'm a bean .
queen they say 'oh gosh.' So I've got to tell
them what's so great about soybeans."
Given half a chance, she'll probably tell
you more than you want to know about
one of the state's leading crops. "It's very
important as a protein source. Did you
know soybeans are used in the
manufacturing of steering wheels? We
export so many soybeans in exchange for
oil and wheat products." ...
The crop was poor during the drought
last year, she explains, so there was no
festival. The grandeur of this year's
festival, however, made up for it, Jarvis
says. And she wasn't the only UNC
student getting in on the action one of
the biggest events of the year sponsored
by the Clayton Chamber of Commerce to
promote the town and the soybean
industry. ' . .
The majorettes rode on a float a"nd
performed in a festival parade Saturday
morning and the North Tower
Barbershop Quartet four "Old East
residents entertained, as part of the
festivities. John Yesulaitis, director of the
Marching Tar Heel Band, was among the
judges of the pageant Saturday night.
Jarvis, a 21 -year-old senior who has
been a majorette at UNC-since she was a
freshman, also reigns as Miss Gastonia
and will enter the Miss North Carolina
pageant in June. Who knows? Maybe
she'll follow the path of Debbie Shook,
the current Miss North Carolina, who is
also a former B.Q.

Roman Catholics in North Carolina
and around the world expressed dismay
Sunday over the death of Pope John Paul
I. who suffered a heart attack Thursday.
His death ended the shortest papal reign
since 1605. r ' ,
As tens of thousands of mourners filed
pasi uheoikuT'bod)
"TeterBasifica in yaficanXTity Catholic
leaders speculated that the next papal
conclave will seek a candidate with the
same attributes John Paul had: an Italian
with pastoral experience and few ties to
the central church bureaucracy.
Cardinal Jean Villot. Vatican secretary
of state nd acting head of the.church
announced the funeral for John will be
Wednesday on the front steps of St.
Peter's, Christendom's largest church.
Villot summoned the Roman Catholic
College of Cardinals to convene
immediately in Rome to select the new
pope. Villot said the deliberations are set
to begin Oct. 14.
In North Carolina, Catholic leaders
were stunned when informed of the
pontiffs death.
In a prepared statement. Bishop
Joseph Gossman of the Diocese of
Raleigh expressed shock at the short
reign of John Paul, who had been called
the "smiling pope" because of his
geniality and informal manner.
"I suppose the word 'stunned' or
'shocked' is how most people reacted to
the unexpected news that Pope John Paul
had died," Gossman said. "One thing he
did in that all too brief period of time: he
quickly demonstrated a warmth and a
humanity that were both winning and
hopeful. John Paul showed us why such
qualities are necessary for the one who
sits in the chair of Peter."
Bishop Michael Begley of the Diocese
of Charlotte said: "The announcement of
Pope John Paul's death has come as a
.shock and a surprise to all in the diocese.
The informality of his pontificate was an
inspiration. In a short pontificate of 34
days, he endeared himself to the world."
- The Rev. Gene Luyster, chaplain at the
Catholic Newman Center on the UNC
The Pitts for Christerisen
Tar Heels
campus said many Catholics are
dismayed over having to choose a new
pope so soon.
"We were stunned," Luyster said. "The
Roman Catholic Church has a sense of
stability with long reigns for popes. We
thought that was it for at least 10 years;
the idea .of gearingup the whole program
v for .selection is .Aiind-boggling;"' - -
Luyster said he believes the College of
Cardinals will elect a pope with many of
the same qualities of John Paul.
"The death of John Paul is in one sense
a godsend," Luyster said. "He didn't have
time to make any decisions, but had time
to create a model for the papacy. If he had
to work within the institution (the
Catholic Church), the institution could
have circumvented him. He created a
spirit that can be followed."
Several of the 1 1 2 Cardinals eligible for
the papal conclave have indicated they
will be seeking a man with the same
pastoral background and down-to-earth
manner that endeared John Paul to
millions during his brief reign.
M ost widely mentioned "papabili" or
possible popes are: Geovanni Benelli,
57. of Florence; Corrado Ursi, 70, of
Naples; Salvatore Pappalardo, 69, of
Palermo, and Giuseppe Siri, 72, of
Genoa. ,
But in Rome, the nine-day mourning
period continues. The great bronze door
of St. Peter's was half closed Saturday in
a sign of mourning and the Vatican
yellow-and-white flags were flowing at
half-staff on all buildings of the tiny"
enclave state. Church bells rang
throughout Rome.
On Sunday and estimated 100,000
mourners waited in a line that was
sometimes as long as a mile to see the
pope's body,, lying in front of Bernini's
main alter in St. Peter's.
On Sunday the crowd stood seven
abreast in the rain, waiting to see the body
of the 65-year-old pontiff, the 263rd
leader of the Roman Catholic Church. By
1 p.m., Vatican officials estimated 30,000
, people had passed through the church
nortals.

PITTSBURGH Clyde Christensen stood on
the edge of the Pitt Stadium playing field late
Saturday morning, speaking above the drone of
several thousand high school trumpeters,
drummers and flag girls practicing for the
performance they would give later when the
football teams from Carolina and Pittsburgh
excused themselves to use the restrooms.
He wondered what might happen that afternoon
in the old stadium where the spirits of Tony
Dorsett and Johnny Majors watch Pitt football
very closely, looking for a semblance of the 1976
national champions.
Christensen, a reserve quarterback, wondered if
he would play. Or if anyone thought he was good
enough to play. Or if Matt Kupec, the No. 1
quarterback, would go all the wav.
"You know, it's really hard to figure out," he
said. "I really don't know what's going on. This
week they had me running third team behind
Chuck Sharpe. I thought I was doing pretty good.
But then I only played one play last week. I just
don't know."
Later that afternoon he stood in the corner of
the Carolina dressing room, his hair wet, his knee
hurting and his gut feeling empty. He'd spent the
afternoon trying to earn some respectability for
Carolina's veer offense while trying to avoid the Al :
Chesleys and Hugh Greens of the world, two
people who don't like quarterbacks.
At times he did well. At others, not so well. And
in the end, as each Tar Heel would likely assess his
own performance, not well enough. Carolina lost,
20-16. ' .V.;:' . '.: ; "" -..y;
"1 just wasn't prepared," Christensen said. "It's
my fault. 1 wasn't ready. I let down a lot of people.
This week more than others I became discouraged,
a little faint-hearted. Maybe it was not knowing
where I stood if I'd play. 1 feel 1 let down the
fellas. I know deep down I could have been more
prepared." : r -v.'';-v. ' . '
Kupec started for Carolina and played until 10
minutes were left in the first half, when he became
dizzy and nauseous after being hit on the head on
the third play of the game. That's when
Christensen got his chance to show .Pitt, his
teammates, a regional television audience and,
most of all, himself, whether he could run the new ,
offense that is still light-years away from where
Coach Dick Crum would like it. -
At times, the Tar Heel veer looked like a veer
should look, with Christensen keeping or pitching,
depending on how the defense reacted. He rushed
for 38 yards, mostly on option keepers, and
pitched to his tailback several times for good gains.
"I felt tremendous out there running the ball," he
said. I think our offense is on the brink of
becoming tremendous."
But there were fumbles, errant passes and
confusion at other times. One Christensen fumble
led to a Pitt touchdown. Once he took the snap
from center and ran right while the rest of the team
- was running the play to the left.
"Maybe I was feeling sorry for myself during the
week. 1 just didn't stay prepared. It's my mistake."
Rick Trocano was prepared. Very much so. The
Pitt quarterback had been maligned by everyone
from his coach, Jackie Sherrill, to Bill Currie, a
Pittsburgh TV commentator who used to be the
"Voice of the Tar Heels."
"We may quit throwing the ball and just run it."
Sherrill said last week.
"Rick Trocano's a good boy," Currie said on a
radio interview last week. "H is momma loves him,
and he went to church every Sunday as a child. But
he just can't throw the football."
Oh yeah? . Ask Ricky Barden or Bernie
Menapace or Bobby Cale, three members of a Tar
Heel defense that Trocano shredded on the game
winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.
"They were just finding the holes in the zone,"
Barden said. "They had good patterns called."
"He was hitting the seams, making good
passes," Cale said. :
