Two generations of Tar Heel fans seem eager for the game against Bos ton College Saturday in Kenan Stadium to end. Carolina's 35-0 first-half lead may have been a factor in their uh, excitement. AntiapaFtlieid mob 7! 1 wiuiii The Associated Press NEW YORK Anti-apartheid protes ters opposed to a U.S. tour by a South African rugby team clashed with police at an airport here, leaving one officer blinded and an airline employee with a severe gash, officials said. Five people were arrested in the Satur day night melee, which began when dem onstrators arrived at John F. Kennedy In ternational Airport with the mistaken be lief that the Springboks were preparing to depart for South Africa. But the team did not leave its hotel in Albany until Sunday. Spokesmen for the team and for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey refused to say when the players would leave. But Port Autho rity police said they were told the team would be leaving from New York. Thomas Selfridge, president of the Eastern Rugby Union, which co-sponsored the Springboks' tour and twice lost to the South African team, said that when the players left their Albany hotel they were on their way home. The team's world tour has sparked dozens of protests by those angered by South Africa's policy of racial separa tion. Demonstrators at Kennedy tossed jars of Mace and vinegar at a South African jetliner. Boston College defeated Heels dominate in 5614 win By GEOFFREY MOCK Assistant Sports Editor After seeing two easy wins over East Carolina and Miami, Carolina football fans may have hoped that Boston College would prove to provide a test worthy of the ninth ranked Tar Heels. But all the fans got was another illus tration of the ease of Carolina's non-conference schedule. The expected match-up of the Eagles' size and strength versus the Tar Heels' speed never materialized, as Carolina coasted to its third straight romp 56-14 Saturday in Kenan Stadium. Carolina's dominance was established on its first offensive play from scrim mage, when Kelvin Bryant ran off the left, side for 44 yards. From there Carolina -scored at will, eight times in its first 11 possessions. "I was surprised that we ran the ball so well," Carolina quarterback Rod Elkins said. "Boston College had a reputation for being a big team, but we thought they had good speed too. After the first series we realized that they weren't as fast or as quick as we expected." The Carolina running game worked because its offensive line blew away the larger Boston College defensive line. Carolina stuck strictly to the ground in r -A OTHScottSharpe "There were about 60 of them," said Lt. Bart Iannucci of the Port Authority. He said the demonstrators were peaceful at first, but that seven to 10 rushed the South African plane. One officer was struck in the face with a solution believed to be Mace, a form of tear gas, and vinegar. Although he had not regained sight Sunday, doctors said the blindness was not expected to be per manent. Other police officers sustained scratches and minor injuries in scuffles with pro testers, and one airline employee received 23 stitches in the leg when struck with a broken bottle. Four women and one man awaited ar raignment in Criminal Court on a variety of charges sternming from the protest. Gov. Hugh Carey unsuccessfully tried to stop the New York games, contending that state police felt there was an "immi nent threat" of riots. He was overruled by courts. Opponents to South Africa's racial separation policy demonstrated at two of the three games they played in the United States, but no serious incidents were re ported. American officials said violence, was averted because of tight security and secrecy over the date and location of the Schenectady match. - the second half to run down the clock and ended , the game with 418 total yards rushing. "North Carolina is a good, good foot ball team," Boston College coach Jack Bickhell said, "but I am very disap pointed in the way we played today. Their offensive line's play was the key. Bryant is a great back, and their quarterback was very productive." v For the third straight game Bryant made opponents' attempts to tackle him " seem pathetic. He ended the game with 173 yards in 22 carries and now has a total of 520 yards in three games. - Bryant was toughest near the Eagle end zone. His four touchdowns gave him 15 for the season, close to the Atlantic Coast Conference single-season record of 21 touchdowns held by Carolina's Don McCauley and not far from the NCAA record of 29 held by Penn State's Lydell Mitchell. "We know Kelvin's back there fighting for every inch, and so will we," offensive left guard David Drechsler said. "When you have Kelvin Bryant in the backfield you want to hfeak him loose." After Bryant broke loose for the 44-yard gain, the Tar Heels quickly moved in for the touchdown, with the score coming five plays later on an 8-yard Problems solved at spokesmen for CP&L say By JIM WRINN DTH Staff Writer Carolina Power and Light Co.'s Bruns wick Nuclear Plant, cited in a forth coming Nuclear Regulatory Commission report as "below average" in three safety areas, is being operated safely with all problems cited by the report corrected, company officials said recently. The NRC report, which grades all 72 li censed reactors in the nation, cites the Brunswick facility in Southport, N.C., as "below average" in radiation control, contamination control and environmen tal protection. , Mac Harris, a CP&L spokesman, said company Executive Vice President E.E. Utley had made a statement earlier on a previous regional report concerning the problems. Utley said: "We've : discussed the NRC's concerns with them and under stand that these have been satisfactorily addressed. I would mention the report nowhere asserts that the plants are opera ted in ... less than a safe manner." Arron Padgett, assistant to the mana- ger at the Brunswick plant, also said the problems had been corrected. Joe Gilliland, spokesman for the NRCs Region Two office in Atlanta, said the NRC report was the first comprehensive survey attempted. "The report, surveyed from April 1; 1979, through March 31, 1980, is made up of Licensee Event Reports and inspec tion findings," Gilliland said. "LERs are filed when an unusual event occurs. That can be anything from a faulty weld in con struction to a serious leak in a pipe." Two NRC inspectors are assigned to the Brunswick plant, and other inspectors come in weekly, announced and unan--ribunced, he "' saidr Inspection at ' all "below-average" plants has been in creased as a result of the findings, he said. Radiation leaks and the disposal of low level radioactive wastes to a local landfill were the major factors in Brunswick's rating, Gilliland said, v Richard Udell, a spokesman for Criti cal Mass, an anti-nuclear energy group backed by Ralph Nader which leaked the report, said Brunswick's safety record was one of the poorest in the country. Need help? CaU UCS Meferral By ALEXANDRA McMILLAN DTH Staff Writer You're new in town, and you don't know where to go to find a carpet-layer whom yoii can trust to install that lovely fuschia rug remnant from the flea market in your petite but cozy apartment What do you do? The founders of Universal Consolidated Services say, "Call us!" UCS provides a free consumer referral service, listing businesses and services in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. Consumers can call a toll-free phone number and tell a UCS representative what they want to know, and the representative then provides thd caller with a list of area v pass from Elkins to Victor Harrison. Elkins went back to the pass for Caro lina's second score of the period, a 63-yard bomb to sophomore Mark Smith, who had beat the defender by . 10 yards. - "We had seen on the films that the BC free safety played so far over that he couldn't get to the post," Elkins said. "We felt that if we kept Mark away from him that with his speed he could not be covered one-on-one." ; . Carolina then put the game away with three second-period scores. The first was set up by a fumble recovery by Walter Black at the BC 37 on a pass to the Eagles' Bob Biestek. The key play on the drive was a 13-yard keeper by Elkins during which he suffered a pinched nerve; he then temporarily left the game. Bryant ended the drive with the first of his scores, a 2-yard plunge up the middle. Bryant's second touchdown, another 2-yard run, came only four minutes later after reserve quarterback Scott Stankavage directed the Tar Heels on a six-play, 40-yard drive. The final Heel score of the half came after linebacker Mike Wilcher intercepted an Eagle pass that had been tipped by See HEELS on page 5 ;In 1980, Brunswick Unit 1 had .85 'mishaps' and Unit 2 had 118, putting it . fifth nationally," Udell said. "A mis hap' is defined as an event exceeding tech-' nically designed limits: The national aver age was 55 mishaps." Brunswick Unit 2 was on line only 35 percent of the time last year, Udell said, adding that the categories in lhe report , were vague and that Critical Mass would ask Congress to review the licenses of the "below-average" plants. A. Hartwell Campbell, a state utilities : commissioner, said an audit had been ordered on CP&L's operations emphasiz ing the operation of its nuclear plants. "The audit will determine the level of efficiency of planning, plant construc tion, capabilities and internal problems,", Campbell said. . CP&L said it would cooperate with the . independent study. The Utilities Commis sion has the option by law to audit every five years. ; William Carter, Brunswick County manager, said residents were more concerned with CP&L rate increases than plant safety. CP&L's always kept us informed of problems at the plant," Carter said. "We were worried about the landfill problem, but we feel that the plant is being operated safely." Wells Edelman, speaking for the Kud zu Alliance, an anti-nuclear group, said he was surprised that the NRC did not cite CP&L for other safety hazards "All the electrical cables for the plant are in one place like the Browns Ferry (Decatur, Ala.) plant. They could all be burned up easily," Edelman said. Edelman, who testified about the Brunswick plant at aNRC.board meeting -iii 1979, said at the time that the safety ratings at Three Mile Island were high and that the CP&L rates were low. Dan Read of the Chapel Hill Anti Nuclear Group Effort said Brunswick had too many little errors. "It was the oysters in the intake one month; next montfy it'll be something else," Read said. "It's comparable to Three Mile Island without a major acci dent." - for info service assists area consumers businesses, individuals or services that can help. , "We've never not given an answer," said Nancy Rains, one of the company's founders.

Mayor Joe Nassif and the Chapel Hill Town Council received a report from the Citizens' Task Force to Assess the Effects of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant on Chapel Hill on October 23, 1980. The task . force was created in May 1979 to suggest procedures for the area in dealing with pessil!; nuclear, accidents at the facility. Dr. Phyllis Lbtchiri, chairperson of the citizens group, said that although the task force was not as noticeable to the com munity as it was a year ago, its committees were continuing investigations of the report's findings. "One committee is in the process of in vestigating a system of independent moni toring," said Lotchin. She said it had con tacted several independent New York groups and had looked at various kinds of equipment that would be used to monitor Debbie Harris, another of the company's four founders. The company was started last October, when Harris, Rains, Cathy Craig and Pam Singleton decided there should be a per sonalized service to help the large transient population of the TViangle area find the services they need. But the service is not just for new re sidents, Rains said. "People who've lived here all their lives sometimes come up with a new problem that they need help with. UCS is a referral service only. "We do not recommend, we refer," Rains said. ' X X. evaculatio j 9 - i , DTH Flte Photo recommends plan iorarea the plant's operations to ensure that they meet federal safety regulations. "The report was sent all around the country," Lotchin said. "All mayors in cities around sue nuclear facilities received a copy." . Another recommendation was made to create an emergency team trained to handle nuclear transportation accidents. The state sent a training group to Chapel Hill in August to educate 20 local firemen and policemen on the procedure for evacuation. Lotchin said these people were now certi fied to train others. North Carolina already has nuclear waste shipped on its highways, but accor i-ding-td the report there will be a sharp in crease in shipments when the Shearon ' Harris Plant begins operation. . To minimize potential hazards posed by the plant, the committee suggested that town officials be kept well-informed of all radioactive shipments near the town and make sure the materials are routed as far from heavily-populated areas as possible. See TASK on page 2 "To the best of our ability, we try to know that we're listing quality service, and of course we hope that users of the service will call back if they have any complaints about a service we've referred them to. "As far as we know, there is no other Organization like this in the country," Rains said. "We help the business person to increase business, and we help the con mer by providing free, easy information on area services. We have yet to encounter a problem we couldn't help somebody 'with." v .v, ... . The number for the service is 1-800-662-7439. ( : v -i ; . ,. , -v y ; OTHScott Sharp s t I i
