TJiey got a name for the winners in
the world
I want a name when I lose
They call A labama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues
"Deacon Blues" by Steely Dan
When the song was written in 1977, it
was 100 percent correct. Wake Forest
football was bad really bad. The
Deacons' last winning season was years
ago; their last undefeated year was in
1892. People know the university
produces great golfers and has great
academics, but football had been a
laughing matter.
It's time to rewrite the song. Things are
upbeat in Winston-Salem. Wake Forest
is playing more to the tune of "Ain't No
Stoppin' Us Now." The Deacons are
dealing the "blues" out to the other guy.
Wake's 24-J9 Atlantic Coast
Conference victory over North Carolina
Saturday in Kenan Stadium was a prime
example of the need for new lyrics.
Although helped by 101 yards in Tar Heel
penalties, four fumbles and one
interception, the Deacons proved yet
another time that they also have a name
when they win.
Wake Forest coach John Mackovic is
an adroit play-caller; Jay Venuto has the
cool of an NFL quarterback; the defense,
led by noseguard James Parker, hits hard
and often; the running game is more than
adequate.
"Wake Forest is a damn good football
team," said UNC fullback Doug Paschal,
"and anybody who says that they're not is
crazy in my mind." .
You won't get many arguments, Doug.
"Their program is really coming," Tar
Heel quarterback Matt Kupec said. "It's
amazing how much improvement they've
made in a year. It's incredible."
Ditto for Mr. Kupec's analysis. Wake,
which finished 1-10 in 1977 and 1978 is 5
1 this season after clipping Carolina. The
Deacons are nearly assured of their first
winning season since 1971 and have a
chance to win more than six games for the
first time since American was at war with
Germany and Japan. (In 1944, the Deacs
claimed eight wins.)
In defeating an arch-rival. Wake
passed a lot, which was expected, but,
unexpectedly, Carolina passed more
often. Kupec set a school record with 24
completions in 41 attempts. Venuto
threw 27 times for 15 completions and
was intercepted three times, none of
which hurt the Deacons as badly as
mistakes affected UNC.
After a Frank Harnisch 21-yard field
goal put Wake ahead 3-0 with 1 3:24 left in
the first half, UNC was forced to punt
from its" 21. A 43-yard punt by Steve
Streater gave the Deacons the ball on
their 36, but a Paul Davis sack on Venuto
ended that drive.
Carolina got the ball back after Mike
Mullen punted away. The Tar Heels lost
the ball on a third-and-11 play when
Kupec tried to hit M ike Chatham and the
pass was picked off by Donnie Jackson.
Wake couldn't move after the
interception but received its first gift of
the day on Carolina's next possession
when Amos Lawrence played hot potato
with a pitchout, lost the ball and the
Deacons recovered on the UNC 16.
Two plays later, after a 14-yard Venuto
keeper and a James McDougald two
yard dive, Wake was ahead 1 0-0.
"You can't expect to win a game and
have as many turnovers as we did,"
Paschal said.
"All our turnovers came back today,"
Tar Heel coach Dick Crum said.

Carrboro police arrested a Chapel Hill
man Thursday night on charges
stemming from the recent kidnap and
robbery of at least one UNC student.
Two others apparently involved in the
kidnapping also were arrested Friday.
They were being held in the Durham
County Jail Sunday. Curtis Parish, 24, of
Chapel Hill was being held in the Orange
County Jail.
Police said all three are suspects in two
kidnapping incidents that occurred
within two weeks in September.
In both incidents, a UNC student was
alone in the early morning hours, and was
approached by two black men and a
black woman. In both incidents, the
students were threatened, driven away
from campus in their cars and then
released unharmed.
The charges were filed in the latter of
the two incidents, which occurred Sept.
22. The lack of positive identification in a
Sept. 6 kidnapping prevented the
suspects from being charged in both
incidents, police said.
Parrish is charged with common law
robbery, kidnapping and felonious
larceny. Bond was set at $50,000.
Kenneth Watson, whose age and address
were not available Sunday, was charged
with felonious robbery, kidnapping and
larceny, apparently in connection with
the Sept. 22 incident. No trial date has
been set in the case. Watson's bond was
set at $55,000.
Brenda McCray, whose age and
address also were not available, also was
arrested on charges of felonious robber,
kidnapping and larceny. McCrav's bond
was set at $20,000. '
The arrests came over a month after the
first kidnapping incident involving a
UNC student. In the first incident on
Sept. 6, UNC sophomore Charlie Ellis
told Chapel Hill police that he picked up
three hitchhikers between Joyner and
Lewis dormitories. The hitchhikers
robbed Ellis at knifepoint and drove him
out of Chapel Hill in his car. Ellis said he
was put out unharmed near the county
landfill off Airport Road.
Ellis' car was recovered Wednesday
after a Chapel Hill resident, Mary Dowe
of 422 Hickory Drive, called and said the
car had been parked in front of her house
since the time of the first football game on
September 8. The car was undamaged,
but several items were missing.
In the second incid&nt. on September
22. Chris Mackie. a UNC senior,
apparently was kidnapped and robbed by
persons matching the description given
by Ellis, police said. Mackie would not
discuss the incident with a reporter.
His car still had not been recovered
Sunday.
Chapel
investigators
Hill Police Department
think the two cases are
related, Lt. Arthur Summey said. The
descriptions of the people and
descriptions of how they worked are
similar, he said.
Ellis was able to supply enough
information for police to make a
composite drawing of the suspect who
drove his car. "I got the best look at him.
He appeared to be the leader," Ellis said.

Editor's Note: This b Charlie Ellis' narrative
account of an incident he reported to Chapel
Hill police five weeks ago.
Around 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 6, three
hitchhikers approached UNC sophomore
Charlie Ellis between Joyner and Lewis
dormitories. The hitchhikers, two black men
and a black woman, said they were leaving a
party at Ehringhaus dorm when their car
broke down. They asked Ellis for a ride to
Elliot Woods Apartments, where they said
they would spend the night with a friend.
44 At first, I said I wouldn't," Ellis recalled in
an interview last week. "But they seemed like
decent enough people, so I said I'd do it. The
whole way over, they were fine, normal
people."
But when Ellis reached the parking lot of the
apartments, they didn't get out of his car.
Instead, the rider in the front seat reached
over, turned off the ignition, and removed the
keys. The front seat passenger got out, and
walked quickly around to the driver's side. At
the same time, the rear seat passenger slid in
the front seat beside Ellis. In effect, he was
surrounded.
When Ellis refused to open his door, the
man outside said, "You better scoot over, the
dude's got a knife." The man beside Ellis held a
hunting knife threateningly close to his
throat. Ellis then opened his door to let the
man outside into the car.
The men demanded to know how much
money Ellis had. "1 told them 'not much and
they laughed," Ellis said. "The car is an older
model, but it's in real nice shape and I was
pretty dressed up because I'd been on a date. I
guess they thought 1 was a little rich kid." The
men took his wallet, which contained $20.
While the man on Ellis's right searched the
wallet, the driver, whom the others called
John, sped out of the Elliot Woods
Apartments parking lot.

RALEIGH Burroughs"" Wellcome Co. may move
part or all of its research and manufacturing operations
from North Carolina if a solution to the problem of
radioactive waste disposal in the state is not found soon,
a representative of the firm said Friday.
Elizabeth Katsikis, radiation safety officer at the
pharmaceutical firm's Research (Triangle Park facility,
spoke about the disposal problem at a meeting of a task
force which is studying the problem of disposing of
radioactive wastes from Triangle area research
; institutions and universities.
The task force decided at the meeting to go ahead with
immediate plans for a temporary storage site for these
wastes. A committee will meet Monday to consider
locations and construction of the site.
The closing two weeks ago of a radioactive waste
facility in Hanford, Wash., has left most of the state's
institutions with nowhere to send their wastes. Proper
storage space for these wastes is limited at most of the
institutions, and the situation could become critical for
some. A temporary site is needed within 60 days, task
force members said.
In a statement she said was written by top managment
officials at Burroughs Wellcome, Katsikis said, "We are
not going to stop drug development.
"Without the use of radioactive isotopes in these
areas, progress of a new drug to meet FDA standards
will slow down," she said. "Contracts will have to be
made with outside firms out of state."
The firm would, first .consider leasing research
facilities in a state where disposal methods are available,
Katskis said after the rneeiing. If some type of
permanent solution for waste disposal were not found,
the firm might leave the state altogether.
The waste situation also is critical at Duke, where
storage facilities for the waste will last less than a month,
said Henry Kamin, chairman of the school's Medical
Center Radiation Safety Committee. "The element of
time gives me an awful sense of concern. Our 60 days has
shrunk to below 30 days. Our last shipment (to the
Hanford facility) never left Duke."
"Right now (our research) is dead within 60 days if we
don't do something," Aaron Sanders, professor of
radiology at Duke and chairman of the state radiation
protection commission, said after the meeting.
The waste situation at UNC is not urgent, since the
University has proper storage space for up to six months
available, Don Willhoit, the University's Health and
Safety Director and a task force member, said last week.
UNC has a compactor, which makes storing large
amounts of waste less of a problem, he said.
The temporary storage facility may consist of a shed
built on state-owned property, said Conrad Knight,
radiation safety officer at Duke and chairman of the task
force contingency committee. The size of the shed will
depend on the results of a survey to determine the
amount of waste which will be stored. The possibility of
using an existing state-owned structure, such as a
warehouse, also will be considered.
At a press conference on Friday, Knight stressed that
the storage site was a temporary measure, taken until a
disposal facility reopens or a permanent state facility is
established. "We anticipate this contingency period to
last 60 days and not to exceed 18 months," he said.
While workfng on plans for a temporary disposal site,
the task force will not lose sight of its original purpose
to study the idea of a permanent waste facility for the
state, said Quentin Lindsey, Gov. Jim Hunt's science
adviser. Lindsey convened the task force in July.
Committees of the task force will continue to look at
possible sites and designs for the permanent facility,
and the possibility of state funding will be studied, he
said.
A regional disposal facility one which would serve
several states- may be another possibility, said James
Watson, member of a Department of Energy task force.
The federal government might take responsibility for
such a facility, he said. Watson is director of radiological
hygiene in UNCs environmental sciences and
engineering department. The radioactive waste
disposal problem is not unique to North Carolina,
Lindsey said at the press conference. "We are in a better
position to deal with the problem than many other states
are. We were amongthc first of thestateitoconsidcrthe
options."
Meeting angers Hunt

By MARK MURRELL
Staff Writer
An angry Gov. Jim Hunt has
complained to the White House of
"abusive, impolite, rude" treatment
accorded University of North Carolina
President William Friday and his staff in
a recent meeting with officials of the
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare.
Hunt aides said the governor was
enraged over a cold reception from HEW
Secretary Patricia Harris and her staff
during a meeting Oct. 3 to discuss the
dispute.
"We just went up to get acquainted
with the secretary," UNC Board of
Governors Chairman William Johnson
said Sunday of the Oct. 3 meeting in
Washington. "I wouldn't call it a
successful meeting, but it was helpful to
the extent that we got her perspectives on
the situation. But it was not a negotiating
session. We didn't offer any settlement."
UNC officials said there has been no
progress in settling the University's
desegregation dispute with HEW, and
there have been no new meetings
scheduled.
Hunt expressed his displeasure in a call
Friday to Stuart Eisenstadt, President
Carter's domestic affairs assistant.
Hunt's press secretary Gary Pearce
. said Sunday it is not known what White
House reaction to the telephone
conversation will be.
The meeting was "an unmitigated
disaster" according to persons who
discussed it with Friday. One source said
Harris was "abusive, impolite and rude,
refused to listen and wouldn't let Friday
finish what he was trying to say."
Friday has declined comment on the
matter. k
It was the first meeting between school
officials and Harris since she replaced
Joseph Califano Jr. as secretary of the
department.
'Bill Wise, a spokesman at HEW said:
"The bottom line is that she indicated that
the department must have a reasonable
plan from UNC for eliminating a racially
dual system of higher education."
Proceedings in the hearings between
UNC and HEW have been rescheduled
from January 7 to March 10.
The NAACP Legal Defense Fund
turned in a list of preliminary witnesses in
the case last week, three of which are from
UNC-Chapel Hill.
UNC Dean Hayden Renwick was
named, as were two students: Vanessa
t
Hunt
Harris
Siddle of Ruffin and Rosalind Fuse of
Fayetteville.
"It'sx all preliminary, and it is not
known as yet whether I will actually be a
witness," Fuse said. "But 1 v. ill be
expressing the types of things I've
encountered, and giving a view of the
University from the students' standpoint
The administrative hearings scheduled
for March are to determine whether UNC
has violated the 1964 Civil Rights Act by
racially motivated discrimination in its
programs.
Bomb threats may have 6 cry-wolf9 effec
By LINDA BROWN
Staff Writer
Officials of the UNC Department of Security Services
are concerned that a recent increase in the number of
campus bomb threats will cause students and faculty to
take the threats too lightly.
The department has received approximately 15-20
bomb threat calls since July 1, said Ted Marvin, director
of security services. Only nine bomb threats were
received in 1978 and only six were received in 1977, he
said.
"The more of these we have that come in, the more
casual people get about them," Marvin said. People may
become less concerned about evacuating buildings when,
a bomb threat is received, a situation which could prove
to be dangerous, he said.
, "When we get a bomb threat we don't know it is for
real or not," Marvin said. "All it takes is for one out of
100 to be real and we will regret that for the rest of our
lives."
Most bomb threat calls are not made to police
headquarters, but to other parts of the campus making
it even harder to find the person responsible for the calls,
Marvin said. The department has asked for help from
Southern Bell in tracking down the calls, he said.
The bomb calls are unpredictable, because they come
to many different locations on campus, Marvin said.
The calls usually occur during mid morning, w ith Beard,
Rosenau, Wilson and Hanes Halls being the most
frequent targets, he said.
"We do know that the bomb threat that came in to
Wilson Hall was about the time that an exam was taking
place and we do know that the person was young,"
Marvin said. The age of the caller could suggest that the
person was a UNC student, he added.
Security Service officials believe the same caller may
have made some of the threats. Marvin said. "They
purely arc intended to disrupt," he commented.
Although a bomb has never been found, Marvin said
the department handles all threats as if a bomb will be
detonated.
When the department receiv es notification of a bomb
threat, the person who received the call is asked to keep
the line the call came on open, Marvin said. A police
officer then is sent over and the department contacts the
Annoyance Control Center of Southern Bell Telephone
Company in Charlotte. If a trap has been put on the line.

By ROANN BISHOP
Staff W riter
Although the future for U NC looks
bright, other institutions of higher
learning in the state may face many
problems in the next few years,
retiring Chancellor N. Fcrcbee Taylor
said Friday during University Day
ceremonies.
Taylor cited inflation, an
anticipated decline in the number of
high-school graduates and the
extension in retirement age
potential problems for colleges
and universities.
"We are entering another of
those periods of combined
recession and inflation.
Taylor said. "When that
occurred earlier in this decade,
state appropriations were
inadequate to offset the erosion
of inflation. The freeze
announced recently from
Raleigh has an all-too-famthar
and ominous ring."
Taylor said that the number of high
school graduates in North Carolina i
expected to drop in 1983. which could
result in "an atmosphere of
retrenchment pervading alt of higher
education in North Carolina"
However, he said UNCi applicant
pool is to large that its enrollment
targets vull not be effected.
The Pepper Amendment, which
extended the minimum mandatory
retirement ap from 65 to 70. w ill limit
new openings for new and younger
faculty members, Taylor said.
"These three factors could have a
dampening effect on our enterprise
in the short run." he said. "But in the
long run. the University faces a bright
future."
Taylor also noted some of the major
developments in his eight year$ as
Chancellor of UNC. He cited the
formation of the Hoard of Trustees in
1972. and the doubled number of
continuing education programs and
the number of people enrolled in these
programs, as two examples.
The total enrollment at the
Lighting candles on University Dsy
University has increased by 9.5
percent since the fall of 1972, Talor
said. The number of female students
has liven by 52 percent and the
number of black students has (limbed
by 87 percent during the same period,
he remarked, adding that the student
body now hat 53 percent females and
7.5 percent blacks. A!o, since the fill
of 1972, female empUment in the
University hai gron by 31 percent
and black employ men! by 50 percent,
