EL PASO, Texas The jinx is over.
North Carolina ended its three-year
drought in NCAA tournament play with a
convincing 74-57 victory over Pittsburgh in
the second round of the West Rcicr.als.

Thursday night. Carolina will play Utah on
the Utes own home court.
The sixth-ranked Tar Heels, fresh off
, winning the ACC tournament, started slowly
against Pitt but pulled away and held off a
second-half Panther rally. :
"We came out ragged," Al Wood said.
"I'm sure everybody thought Oh well, here
we go again. M
"Pitt is as quick a team as we have
played," Coach Dean Smith said. "We were
ready to play. I think our players have been
ready for this since October."
The Tar Heels shook off what looked like
a case of early-game jitters and fought back,
largely behind excellent free throw shooting.
Carolina was 19 of 27 from the line.
James Worthy led the Tar Heel attack
with 21 points, 13 of which came in the
second half. Sam Perkins, who was MVP in
ths ACC, tournament, hacLi& -jpoioisJancL

But Smith heaped his praise on point
guard Jimmy Black for his work in cracking -
swarming zone defense and for getting the
ball inside to Worthy, Perkins and .Wood.
"Black was sensational," Smith said.
"We needed him to get the ball inside and
I'm sure that our inside players were glad they
had him on their team."
After leading at the half, the Tar
Heels saw Pitt get back to within six at 45-39
behind the play of Sam Clancy and Carlton
Neverson, who led the scoring honors for
Pitt with 16 each.
"We didn't play very well against their
pressure," Smith said of the Panther
defense which sparked the rally. "We have
to work on getting the ball inbounds."
The Tar Heels, though, scored the next
eight points and 12 of the next 18 to push the
Jead back -.to 14, points .The .Tar Heels

reserves played the last few minutes of the
game.
The first half saw both teams go for several
minutes as dry as the desert which surrounds
this west Texas town.
The Tar Heels, though, managed to pull
out to a 34-23 lead at the half, largely behind
a 14-18 performance at 'the line.
Carolina could do nothing offensively in
the game's opening moments as Pitt's 1-3-1
zone defense gave the Tar Heels fits while
the Panthers scored the game's first eight
points.
Carolina finally scored at the 15:12 mark

to an 11-10 lead with 11:35 left in the half.
Fouls began to pile up on both sides and

Carolina. Pitt fought back to lead 19-16 with

while Carolina scored 14 points. It was a

The win was the first for the Tar Heels in
NCAA play since 1976. Carolina lost to San
Francisco, Penn and Texas A&M in opening
rounds the last three years.
Virginia is the only other ACC team left in
the tournament as the Cavaliers edged Villa

Indiana Saturday 99-64 and Wake Forest

UNC students were offered "A New Ap
proach" to campus journalism when the first
issue of The Phoenix, the University's newest
publication, was distributed this morning.
The weekly paper, organized by a small
group of students, will concentrate on inves
tigative and analytical reporting, Thomas
Jessiman, one of the paper's founders, said
Sunday.
"The whole idea behind The Phoenix b we
see a need for this type of journalism," he
said. "It's entirely different from any other
publication on campus."
Although printed in newspaper form, the
paper will use a news magazine format (o put
'events in perspective, featuring regular articles
on science, interviews with University faculty
members and administrators, art, sports, essays,
commentaries and profiles of various colleges
and universities, he said. The paper is reminiscent
of the national newsweeklies, Jessiman said.
Amy Sharps, one of the editors of the new
production, said Sunday that The Phoenix
was a good outlet for writers and other people
who want to work for a campus newspaper.
"It does a lot that a daily paper can't," she
.said. "I'm surprised it hasn't been done
before."
Jessiman said The Phoenix would be dis
tributed free every Monday morning in dormi
tories and other places where student traffic
is heavy. Four thousand copies of the first
issue were printed.
Although the editors expect the first two
issues to be paid for by advertising, he said the
paper would apply to the Campus Governing
Council this week for funding. The paper re4
cently received official University recognition.
The name The Phoenix was chosen after
the staff considered several other choices,
according to the paper's first editorial. "The
whole idea behind the name is a new life, that
there's only one of a kind," Jessiman said.
Jessiman, a former associate editor and
editorial candidate for The Daily Tar fleet,
said he did not see The Phoenix as competition

The Associated Pres ' .
DAMASCUS, Syria In the aftermath of the second
longest airplane hijacking in history,' in which more than 100
people were held hostage for 13 days, questions and details of
the hijacking began to surface Sunday.
The Pakistani International Airlines jet was commandeered
March 2 over Pakistan and flown first to Kabul, Afghanistan.
There, on March 6, a Pakistani diplomat-hostage was killed and
dumped on the runway as a warning to officials that the hijackers
meant business in their demands for the freeing of political
prisoners being held in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the Americans aboard the hijacked Pakistani
jetliner knew they would die one every hour and came within
20 minutes of it, one of them told reporters Sunday.
The hijackers identified themselves as members of Al-Zulfikar,
named after former Pakistani President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto,
who was overthrown by Pakistani President Mohammed Zia
ul-Haq and hanged in 1979.
The 101 hostages, including three Americans, were released
Saturday when Pakistan agreed to turn over 55 political oppo
nents of the Zia regime on Thursday, 20 minutes before the
deadline to comply with the demands would have expired.
The prisoners arrived Saturday in the Syrian capital after an
odyssey that saw them turned back by Libya and refueled in
. Greece, and their release resulted in the hijackers surrender.
Pakistan on Sunday accused the Soviet-backed government
of Afghanistan of arrning the hijackers.
As the freed hostages emerged from medical checkups at a
military hospital here, Pakistani President Zia said there was a
'"deep conspiracy" between the Marxist regime and Afghan
and Pakistani dissidents. He alleged the Afghans provided the
anti-Zia hijackers with some of the automatic weapons and ex
plosives they brandished upon emerging Saturday from the jet.
Zia also said that Syria had rejected Pakistan's suggestion
that it mount a commando raid to free the hostages, according
to a segment of the original text of Zia's speech obtained by
The Associated Press. The section was not officially released.
The ex-hostages were described by doctors at the Harasta
military hospital as being "in much better shape than we
thought they would be." A U.S. diplomat said the Americans
smiong those freed were in high spirits. . ,
..-lThe Americans are full of besnsr They are telling jokes and ,
keeping everybody happy,' the diplomat, who declined to be
identified, told reporters gathered outside the cordoned-off
hospital.
Pakistani Education Minister Mohammad Agha Khan, who
came here with the political prisoners released by Pakistan,
said most ex-hostages would leave Syria on Monday.
A second, mystery hostage, initially thought to be a New
Yorker, dodged reporters upon arrival at a hotel but later said
he lives in Morocco. In Washington, D.C., the State Department
said he is a Canadian citizen, but it provided no name.
The passport he carried identified him as Lawrence Clifton
Mangum of New York Gty. But a State Department spokesman
' said Saturday "the real Lawrence Clifton Mangum is alive and
well and living in Brooklyn."
It was bamed that another American passenger, Craig Richard
Oymorc, is charged in a federal indictment with smuggling heroin
and hashish.
Federal officials in New York disclosed Saturday night that
Clymorc, 24, also known as Craig Richards, of Laguna Hills,
Cal., was under indictment in a heroin and hashish oil smug
gling case.
The U.S. Attorney's office in New York said the indictment
was unsealed last Tuesday, but reporters were asked to withhold
the information for fear disclosure might further endanger
Clymore's life while he was held hostage.
Clymore told reporters at the hotel he and his compatriots
came within 20 minutes of being executed.
"If it had been any later it would have been one American
every hour," said Clymore, his voice shaking with emotion.
He did not comment on the Indictment.
The third American, Frederick Hubbcii, a lawyer from Dos
Moines, Iowa, did not speak with reporters.
