TV Dy CLIFTON DAItNES Assistant Sports Editor A letdown after the Wake Forest win? Nawww. "I didn't expect anything like this," Coach Dean Smith said after his Tar Heels blistered Georgia Tech 100-60 Saturday afternoon at Carmichael Auditorium. "A letdown can happen and it does happen to some teams," forward James Worthy said in a jubilant Tar Heel dressing room. "But we try not to think about the past. We have our minds right for each game." "I was worried about us getting ready after our big win at Wake Forest," Smith said. "Our defense just dictated the game the first 10 minutes." Nine minutes into the game Carolina held a 23-4 lead behind the offense and defense of Al Wood, Sam Perkins, . James Worthy, Jimmy Black and Mike Pepper.' That's everybody, and that's just how the game went. Everybody played and did his part. Eleven Tar Heels played in a first half that saw the Yellow Jackets pull to with in 1 1 when Carolina failed to score for almost three minutes. But in the last five minutes of the half the Tar Heels found their early form to outscore Georgia Tech 19-9 and take a 43-27 halftime lead. In the first five minutes of the second half Carolina opened up a 61-29 margin over the newest member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Carolina starters were already trickling out with nine minutes to play. Wood left with 24 points in only 27 minutes of play. Perkins added 18 points and a game-high 11 rebounds, while Worthy left with 13 points in 23 minutes. Black and Pepper scored eight points each. . "Wood continues to play well, both offensively and defensively," Smith said. "But, if you had to point to one player as the key today it would be Jimmy Black. He made everything go offensively and defensively. "It's good to have a blowout,'' Sr.ith said. "It gives our reserves; Who vvcirk so" hard in practice, a chance to play." And play they did. Backup center Chris Erust scored four points and grabbed six rebounds, second highest on the team. Jeb Barlow, Eric Kenny and Cecil Exum each canned six points. Freshman Dean Shaffer scored five points in only six minutes of playing time. They were his first points as a Tar Heel. The "Blue Team" went 10-of-14 from the field and 7-of-9 from the free throw line. But, more importantly, the reserves hit the century mark. It was the first time since Carolina scored 102 against Maryland in the 1979 . ACC tournament. , "We were looking for the hundred," Exum said. "It's kind of a tough goal to reach in basketball so we wanted to do it." " But when Exum hit a 15-foot jumper with 1:03 left to give the Tar Heels a 93-58 lead the Jackets decided to keep the score under 100. Georgia Tech went into their version of the Four Corners behind by 40 points: The crowd didn't like it and neither did Shaffer who fouled Tech's Stu Lyon with 19 seconds remaining. Lyon, who was Tech's leading scorer with 19 points, 'hit both free throws. Then Carolina gave up the ball without hitting the 100 mark. Tech's Greg Wilson was fouled by Shaffer on a fast break with seven seconds left. Wilson missed the free throw, Carolina moved the ball up court quickly, Shaffer passed to Exum with three seconds left and Exum hit from the left side at the buzzer to send the team and the fans into a frenzy worthy of the celebration after an ACC tourney win. "I asked them why they did it," Tech coach Dwane Morrison said of the freeze his club put on the ball. "They didn't give me an answer. I assume it was so they wouldn't get 100 points. "North Carolina was just awesome," Morrison said. "I'd say that when the season began Virginia was the best team in the ACC, but now I have my doubts. Right now I think Carolina has more talent." V . The Tar Heels moved to 14-4 overall -and 5-1 in the conference to remain one game behind Virginia. Tech dropped to 4-13 and stayed in the cellar of the ACC with a O-Xtcaord-' K--..'-.i' "Most games in close," Wood said. the ACC will be "So I don't think the game helped us that much, but it did give us a break." "This was just the kind of game you have to forget about," Worthy said. f. . . - ... t v . . , .

A presidential military jet called "Freedom One" carried the former pri soners of Iran to a hillside airport and the private embrace of their families. Then together at last the hostages and their relatives rode at dusk through cheering, waving crowds lining Hudson . Valley roads to a wild hello at the gates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where they have been promised two days of privacy. President Reagan stayed at the White House to give the hostages and their families what they most wanted: the chance to talk to each other, alone. Reagan met with the families Sunday morning in the State Dining Room at the White House to send them off to the re union. - It was an emotional moment; ' he choked up. Tears in his eyes, the new president, said, "Since we all didn't get to church this morning because of this ceremony, can we just say, Dear God, thank you. Thank you for what you've done. And God give you the understanding and the patience that you'll need now with regard to this homecoming and get together. Amen." A great national welcoming, led by Reagan, is scheduled for Washington on Tuesday a week after the hostages' re lease after 14'2 months in captivity. flying American flags zi half staff, in memory of eight servicemen killed in a failed rescue attempt last April. As the hostages passed through the village of Highland Falls, a church bell pealed 444 times, once for each day in captivity. Finally the hostages' long trip was over and they poured into the Hotel " Thayer where the assistant manager, Lee Curtis, offered them iced shrimp, chips, dips, hors d'oeuvres and drinks, and left them on their own. When the plane landed at Stewart Air- .port at Newburgh, N.Y., the first hostage off, a Marine, kissed American ground. Eight more Marines followed, . and each saluted America as he stood in the plane doorway, , Then came the diplomats who had beeri caught in the U.S. Embassy when it was seized by Iranian militants on Nov. 4, 1979. A few of them had to be helped down the stairs of the ramp. The hostages' families flooded the tarmac. "Thank God!" bless America!" they cried. "God Children grabbed onto their fathers' legs. The fathers lifted them into the air and cried. Kin folk fell onto each other, hugging, crying, kissing and laughing. Yellow ribbons were tied and pmned to everything and everyone. The first reunion, which lasted a half hour, took place in an airport building decorated with two posters which said "Free at Last" and "Home of the This was the most dramatic home coming the, nation has seen since pri soners of war flew home from North.

'iiel cooito force drivers to ciit'toacK By KAREN HAYWOOD SU?t Writer Gas prices have risen almost 7 cents per gallon, since The Daily Tar HeePs most recent survey of area gasoline stations was taken in December. Station managers attributed the sudden increase to oil price hikes announced by several OPEC nations early this year. As prices rise, more people pump their own gas, said Barry Cole of Eastgate Amoco. The survey showed the cost of gas at full-service pumps avergged 8 cents per gallon higher than at the self-service islands. Parn Ragan of Ragan's Amoco on West Main Street in Carrboro said that station switched from full-service to self- service at Christmas time so that gas could be sold at lower prices. Of the stations surveyed last week, The Pantry on Jones Ferry Road offered the lowest price on self-service with regular at $1.15. Walker's Gulf on East Franklin Street, which sells regular for $1.15.9 and unleaded for $1.20.9, was close behind. Unleaded gas at The Pantry is $1.23. ' The higher prices are encouraging University students and employees to cut back on their driving to save money. John DeKemper, a UNC sophomore from Charlotte, said ; his gas expenses took a big bite out of his spending money. DeKemper said he used to fill his Toyota Corolla for $7, but now it costs $15. "One day out of what I work goes for gas," he said. . ; Seo INCREASE on page 2 Gab rtm et'otti ciuls urge, price d&.contrOt WASHINGTON (AP) Two of President Reagan's Cabinet officers are urging him to take a step that could raise gasoline prices by 12 cents or more a gallon but at the same time add as much as $7 billion to the federal treasury. The immediate decontrol of prices for crude oil and gasoline . which Reagan could accomplish by executive order -might by some estimates cost consumers $10 billion between now and when controls on these prices would expire anyway on Oct. 1. This could happen because decontrol would allow the price of domestic oil to rise to world market levels. While there are various estimates of the price of oil, the Department of Energy's is that the price of domestic oil averaged $23 a barrel in December while that of imported oil averaged more than $35 a barrel.

Gov. Jim Hunt and the Advisory Dud- get Commission have proposed that the university system generate 16.2 million in additional funds through tuition in fiscal year 1931-1532 and $6.3 million in fiscal 1932-1933. About S57 million cf the system's SSI 3 million operating bud- get comes from tuition. The increase h part of an appropria tions bill which will be voted cn by the General Assembly before it recesses in the summer. "It vs.il! be June at kzsi before the ap propriations bill will be passed," said Fells Joyr.er, UNC vice president in charge cf finance. "I would ntt be terriMy cp:Imh:ic about there not being a tuition increase," Jovner said. Bat he add .-.J. "It is r.-.'4 an unrea-.or.it! f:ure." Joyr.rr aiJ t! : tnicJ-.ity vcm.m.cnded a tulti. t incre asked for larger appropriations from the General Assembly. "Year upon year we have consistently opposed it (a tuition increase)," UNC President William Friday said. He said the University had tried to keep tuition at a level that would not be prohibitive. " We do not w ish to see the ability of stu dents to pay to be a controlling factor" in deciding whether or ncHo attend one of the 16 campuses, he said. The last increase was made in 1977 and raised tuition by 10 percent for in ' state students and enacted a Fat increase for cut-cf-state students. Any increase in tuition would be higher for out-of-state students because they do not pay taxes to support the University system, officios said.

Nixon in 1973 and left in place amid skyrocketing oil prices. Carter and the Democratic-controlled Congress moved in the summer of 1979 to phase out these controls, and the first were removed Aug. 1, 1979. Congress also enacted a "wind fall" tax, which will cost the oil industry an estimated $227.3 billion in the 19S0s.
