Let it be known that on Saturday, Oct. 17 in
Raleigh, N.C. at approximately 1:30 p.m., the North
Carolina Tar Heels fell behind in a football game for
the first time in 1981.
But the Tar Heels came back to win the game 21-10
over N.C. State and showed a new kind of character
after six wins and no losses.
"It was kind of weird, Strang?," defensive tackle
William Fuller said after the game. "It was the first
time we've been behind. We figured we'd better
tighten up."
At halftime UNC coach Dick Cram didn't rant
and rave about UNC's 100 deficit, but he let it be
known that the second half would show what kind of
character the team had.
"I though: we would get bawled out at the half,
but we didn't," Fuller said. "The coach told us we
weren't playing with any intensity and he didn't
know why."
"We were walking around feeling sorry for our
selves in the first half," linebacker Darrell Nicholson
said. "We felt we had to show a lot of character, and,
in the long run we did."
Cram said that he was not worried in the dressing
room at halftime. "Our youngsters know they can
score 35 points in a half," he said. "We did what we
had to. do."
For those first 30 minutes, the Wolfpack was doing
what it had to do to stop -ITNC-ThcStatenmrs--could
not be contained, while the defense was
stopping the Tar Heels before they could get too deep
in Wolfpack territory.
"I'm just sick," State coach Monte Kiffin said fol
lowing the game. "That football team beat Carolina
up and down the field for 30 minutes. We flat got
after 'em. But we knew we'd have to maintain it for
60 minutes." .
At the beginning of that second 30 minutes, Kiffin
surprised a few. people by attempting an onside
kickoff.
It was a play that was calculated and had been
practiced all week, but UNC's alert Bill Lippincott
pounced on the ball at the UNC 49. From there the
Tar Heels marched 51 yards for the score, mostly on
the work of tailback Tyrone Anthony, who finished
the day with 183 yards.
Two series later, State's Joe Mcintosh fumbled at
his Own 24-yard line where Nicholson recovered.
Anthony carried five straight times and scored on
a 3-yard run to put the Tar Heels ahead 14-10.
In the fourth quarter, defensive back Walt Black
blocked a Wolfpack punt deep in State territory, and
the Heels recovered at the 7-yard line. Fullback Alan
Burrus went over from the one a couple of plays
later, to put UNC up 21-10.
Although some say that the turning point was the
onside kick, the fumble or holding State to a field
goal instead of giving up a touchdown at the close of
the first half, Cram said the blocked punt was the big
play. .
"I felt the blocked punt was the turning point in
the game," Cram said. "They had to score more
than one touchdown to beat us."
In total offense for the game, the Wolfpack out
gained the Tar. Heels by almost 100 yards in putting
up the stiffest fight yet.
"I knew this day would come sooner or later,"
UNC quarterback Rod Elkins said. "We have enough
talent on this team to come back.
"We showed a lot of composure and great charac
ter," he said. "It was a great win and I'm just glad to
get put of here winning."
State defensive backs Louis Meadows and Donnie
LaGrande were impressed with the Tar Heels also.
"They deserve to be where they're at in the polls,"
Meadows said. "They are definitely the toughest
team we've played and we had two weeks to prepare
for them and all their shifts."
LaGrande said the Tar Heels were deserving of
whatever glitter they got the rest of the way.
. But State quarterback Tol Avery was not that im
pressed with the team or its character.
"Talk, that's all their game," Avery said after the
game.; ' . ,
22 nations meet in Mexico
M.& (DLgdJin to p mi fire: e ente rprise ut urn m it
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON President Ronald
Reagan returns today to the world of in
ternational summitry, prepared to preach
"the magic of the marketplace," but
aware that he could face a hostile atmo
sphere in a Mexico meeting of rich and
poor nations.
The president received a final briefing
Tuesday from Secretary of State Alexan
der M. Haig, Jr. and Treasury Secretary
Donald T. Regan as he prepared for the
22-nation. summit in Cancun, Mexico.
Reagan is flying to the Caribbean island
town this morning. The conference opens
Thursday morning.
Reagan's emphasis on the role of pri
vate enterprise is improving living con
ditions and domestic economies in less
developed nations puts him at odds with
many of the other leaders he will meet in
Mexico.
In addition, he will meet them at a time
U.S. foreign assistance is declining. Al
though the total amount the United States
contributes in foreign aid is still greater
than that of any other nation at the con
ference, it dropped from $7.1 billion in
fiscal 1980 into the $6 billion range in
just-ended fiscal 1981.
"We're going with a sense of American
optimism that by workingt02ether, we
can all grow," Regan told reporters after
he and Haig briefed the president.
Participants in the conference say the
meeting is unique because, for the first
time, it involves heads of government
from nations that are rich and poor, new
and old, capitalist, socialist or Marxist,
sitting down in an effort to determine the
best ways to achieve economic growth
around the globe. ,
The president said in a speech last
Thursday in Philadelphia that "the magic
of the marketplace" was the common
factor among nations that have achieved
the largest economic growth, and he
made clear that this was the message he
would bring to Cancun.
But, he told business leaders, "we
know we're going to walk into a hostile
atmosphere, and there will be those who
simply want a policy of take away from
the halves and deliver to the have-nots."
( Although the participants in the con
ference represent nations with two-thirds
of the world's population and three
fourths of its wealth, the per capita gross
national product which approximates
per capita income ranges from $90 in
Bangladesh to more than $10,000 in
Drama departmeiit to iiiidergo changes
By LOUISE GUNTER
DTH Staff Writer
Because the UNC dramatic arts department has been perceived
as less geared toward education than toward professional pro
ductions, the department is scheduled to undergo a comprehen
sive program of changes during the next year, Dr. Arthur Hous
man, acting director of the department, said recently.
"I think the purpose of these changes is to make it unmistak
able that this department is an instrument of education," Hous
man said. '' j,.
"It has been perceived as being less geared to education, and
these changes are to correct that perception. In a sense, the word
change is misleading, though. We are more accurately regulari
zing or formalizing a commitment to the idea that the production
and performance program exists for students. Our intention is
to make it a sort of 'teaching hospital.' "
Among the changes planned are an increase in performance
possibilities for both undergraduate and graduate students; the
conversion of the Playmakers Repertory Company to a true
"repertory" company, including the expansion of the actor-in-residence
program; a new department chairman by July 1, 1982;
and a three-year master of fine arts degree program.
Housman said the best education was likely to come from stu
dent participation with professional role models because students
could become more aware of theatre as an academic process and
an art form if there were professionals in residence.
At least two, and perhaps three, of the current faculty posi
tions will be reserved for actors who will stay in Residence for
one or two years and who will form the core of professional ac
tors for the Playmakers Repertory Company productions, he
said.
The main objective of the program changes Is to restyle the in
structional program to provide all students with the fullest expo
sure to excellence in instruction-and performance. In keeping

Economic chaos will result in North'
Carolina if the House votes this week to
kill the tobacco program, an aide to Rep,.
L.H. Fountain, D-N.C, said Tuesday.
"There will be a disastrous effect on
the whole of North Carolina," said Ted
Daniel, Fountain's executive assistant.
"It will be felt not only on the farm, but
in every small town and every large town.
It would not be business as usual for
anybody," he said.
The House is expected to vote today on
an amendment to the 1981 Farm Bill that
would abolish the federal tobacco program
consisting of price supports and acreage
allotments. Southern lawmakers lobbied
intensely against the amendment on Mon
day and Tuesday.
, Gov. Jim Hunt called about 20 con
gressmen, including House Speaker
Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill, to lobby for.
the program, Hunt's deputy press
secretary, Brent Hackney, said.
"Everybody (tobacco supporters) is
working hard," Daniel said. He said the
chances were about 50-50 that the amend
ment would be defeated.
Heidi Pender, legislative assistant to
Rep. Charlie Rose, D-N.C, chairman of
the House Tobacco and Peanut Subcom
mittee, was optimistic. "We intend to
beat it (the amendment)," she said.
"Things look better and better for us."
The co-sponsor of the amendment.
Rep. Bob Shamansky, D-Ohio, sees the
tobacco program as unnecessary pork
barrelling. "Price supports and allot
ments are New Deal relics. The condi
tions are not the same," Shamansky
spokesman Eric Rozenman said.
Rozenman said tobacco would contin
ue to be a profitable crop if the amend
ment passed. ;
However, tobacco interests disagree.
Ending' the program .' would" result in -overplanting,
drops in profits and
cheaper quality tobacco, said Anne
Browder, a spokeswoman for the Tobac
co Institute in Washington, D.C. !
Killing the support program would also
decrease the value of tobacco farmland,
said Frank Bordeaux, chief economist for
the N.C. Department of Agriculture. He
said there would be more price variation
and greater uncertainty and risk for the
farmer. "With increased risk, it would af
fect the farmer's ability to borrow
operating capital," he said. '
Problems in getting loans would
squeeze out small farmers, Browder said.
The income of small farmers would de
crease because of lower prices, she said.
Daniel said many elderly people leased
allotments which they previously farmed.
Ending the program would hurt people
who used the money to supplement their
Social Security income.
State Fair
Daniel said any reduction , in the $1
billion coming into North Carolina from
the sale of tobacco would hurt local
businesses. Local governments could
even default on their bonds, he sateL
Ending the tobacco program would
cost the government money, as well,
Browder said. She said 300,000 farmers
half of the present tobacco farmers
would be added to the welfare rolls and
that, the cost of welfare would over
shadow any costs of the federal tobacco
program.
"It's a known fact the government
doesn't lose money on it (the tobacco
program)," Browder said. "The govern
ment makes money on it." She said
government loans to farmers were repaid
with interest.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
estimates tobacco subsidies cost taxpayers
$100,000 in 1980 and $57 million since the
program began in 1933.
"This is one program which has paid
its way," Hackney said.
Shamansky claims, however, that the
government has spent an additional $600
million to $850 million over the years, in
interest rate subsidies and storage costs.
He expects the direct costs to skyrocket.
Shamansky' s opposition is focused on
the allotment system, which concentrates
control of the crop in the hands of people
or groups holding 550,000 federally
issued acreage allotments.
"The program is obviously an infringe
ment of the free market system," Rozen
man said. "It (the program) raises the
cost of doing business for the tobacco
farmer," he said.
. Critics also complain of the apparent
contradiction between federal supports
for tobacco prices and federal campaigns
to discourage tobacco use. Tobacco in
terests argue that price supports keep the
price of tobacco high and thus discourage
smoking.
Rozenman said -concern " over the
political effects of passage of the amend
ment was overblown. The bill is co-sponsored
by a Republican and has wide
bipartisan support, he said.
Hackney said the political fall out
would be hard to predict if the amend
ment is passed. "If the Republicans were
smart, they wouldn't blame the
Democrats because they can say 'Where
was the Reagan administration?''' Jack-.
ney said. .
The Reagan administration has not
backed any attempts to eliminate or
change support programs for the tradi-
. tionlly Southern crops, although
Shamansky delivered a letter to the White
House Monday asking for Reagan's sup
port for the tobacco amendment. Reagan
made commitments last summer to retain
the subsidies in return for the votes of
Southern Democrats on' his budget
cutting program. '
Sweden, West Germany and the United
States, and the populations vary from
. x fewer than 1 nJllion in Guyana to approxi
. mately 1 billion in China.
"The president goes to Cancun very
sensitive to the problems of the developing
world, problems which also cause great
problems . in the developed world: the
rising cost of energy, the tendency toward '
the declining economic growth rates, pro
tectionism ... unemployment and other
economic dislocations," Haig said at a
briefing he and Regan gave reporters.
