Atlantic Coast Conference teams take
note: Jimmy Black and Matt Doherty can
shoot.
North Carolina's two lesser known of
fensive weapons came through when they
were needed Wednesday night, scoring 21
points apiece to lead the Tar Heels to a
77-72 come-from-behind victory over
Clemson in Carmichael Auditorium.
"You can stop anybody, but you have
to give up something," UNC coach Dean
Smith said. "They chose to give Black
and Doherty open 15-foot shots. That's a
free throw and Doherty is shooting 81
percent from the line, so we're not afraid
to let him shoot. I've been saying that
about both of them all along."
Both Doherty and Black had career
high scoring outputs in leading the Heels
to their 29th straight victory over the
Tigers in Chapel Hill. Going in the game,
Doherty and Black were, averaging 8.5
and 7.1 points per game respectively.
"They left myself, Matt and Michael
(Jordan) open from 15 feet," Black said.
"It was pretty apparent from the beginn
ing they were going to let us shoot.
"If they give it to me, I'll knock it in.
Some coaches feel I can't shoot. I hope it
keeps up."
Writing section discussed for competency test
By VIRGINIA TRULL
DTH Staff Writer
State organizations recently have ex
pressed mixed reactions over a proposal
to introduce a written section into the
state's high school competency test.
The Competency Testing Commission,
appointed, by Gov. Jim Hunt, met last
week to discuss proposals for the new sec
tion. "The current competency test is fine as
far as the mathematics and reading sec
tions are concerned," said Bill Brown,
director of the division of research for the
state Board of Education.

Few people realize exactly what
Rochelle Tucker faces each day as student
body treasurer. Being in a less visible,
behind-the-scenes position, she handles
her job with a smooth efficiency that
almost no one outside the Student
Government knows about.
-"As student body treasurer I directly
oversee about 31 organizations," the
senior business administration major
from Reidsville said. "It's my job to
watch over the treasurers of these
organizations, as well as be the treasurer
for the executive and legislative branches
of Student Government."
Tucker's job involves handling requisi
tions and processing checks for these
groups. She also holds membership in the

Broadcast Board and the Student

Doherty said he also, felt that some
teams overlook his shooting ability.
"My main role on the team is to get the
ball inside to James (Worthy) and Sam
(Perkins)," Doherty said. "But, leave me
open and I'll shoot it.
"I felt like they were saying, 'let's see
what Doherty can do.' I went out and
showed them."
Tiger coach Bill Foster said his team
.played thejjest they have. in Chapel Hill
since he first came to Clemson. He added
that he was most pleased with the fact
that the Tigers forced the Tar Heels to
take the outside shot.
"Doherty took 10 shots in the first
half," Foster said. "I'll bet he hasn't
taken 10 shots in a game this year."
The Tigers' game plan appeared to be
working in the first half as Clemson
jumped out to an 11-2 lead in the early
going. Carolina came back slowly to tie it
at 26 and took a two-point lead before
falling behind by two at halftime.
Clemson again came out strong in the
early part of the second half, building on
to its lead until the lead reached nine
points at 54-45.
At that point the Heels returned from a
timeout with three straight baskets to get
back into the game. The Tigers built the

not specify the individual subjects. This is
the reason for all the discussion, he said.
"We have not addressed the proposal
specifically," said Marian Stallings, a
consultant for the North Carolina Asso
ciation of Educators. "A lot depends on
what the commission ends up with."
The NCAE maintains that "writing
skills are one of the basic needs young
people have," she said.
Stallings said state officials take the
view that "if you test for it, then it gets
taught." However, the addition of a
writing test does not ensure the inclusion
of those skills in the curriculum, she said.

Action on future uses of the old police

Rosemary streets was delayed again Mon
day night by the Chapel Hill Town Coun

of the next fiscal year.
The council has been considering alter

months.
The building currently houses Orange

as offices for the County Sheriff, Dispute

Students are reacting campus-wide in
opposition to the recently publicized deci
sion by the Department of Housing to in
crease the occupancy of 220 rooms in 18
residence halls.
Residents of Kenan and Mclver resi
dence halls have canceled mixers that
were planned for tonight for an opportu
nity to voice concerns about the new po
licy to housing officials. Acting Housing
Director Donald Boulton and Associate
Director for Residence Life Jody Harpster
have been invited to address questions
about the decision.
"The reaction 1 got from (STOW resi
dents) is tftat their questions are more im
portant than a mixer," STOW Governor
Linda Howey said Wednesday. The
forum will be at 9:30 p.m. today in Kenan

Also, concerned residents, Student
Government leaders and representatives

gather in the basement of Teague Resi
dence Hall at 9 p.m. to discuss the policy.
"We're not going to argue whether peo
ple will be tripled or whether freshmen
should be made to live on campus. We
just want to let the administration know
that we're disappointed about (Housing
officials) bypassing (the Residence Hall
Association) in their decision," Academic
Lt. Gov. for Scott College Frank Wells
said.
"When they bypass RHA, they're ig

"Writing is totally subjective," Alex

tested along a minimum norm guideline.
The competency test, first required in
1980 for high school graduation, consists
of multiple choice math and reading sec

knowing the treasury laws. Tucker said
she had to familiarize herself with the
laws and pointed out that there were "a
lot of little things contained in the law
book." v . . '
By getting involved in so many
organizations, Tucker has an opportunity
to observe first-hand the various actions
they take. She said it was very important
for her to know what happens with the
organizations. "By attending all the
meetings, I see what's going on. I act as
an adviser to these groups. If there are
any questions, I'm there to answer
them."
One of the unique things about Tucker

recommendation. Options include sale of
the building, lease for private use and
lease for non-profit public use.
Secrist suggested that the town lease
the building to a private developer for a
10-year period, thereby retaining the op
tion to use the space after the lease ex
pires. This plan would be the most cost
effective, he said. The town would own a
renovated building at the end of the
10-year lease and would have collected
almost the entire sale price of the building
through rent. The cost of renovation for
leasing has been estimated at more than
$443,000.
The council voted not to adopt
Secrist's recommendation for leasing the
building to private developers. The

before the decision was put into effect."
Mclver residents Robin Fullilove and
Cheryl Hale began circulating petitions
Monday night in protest of the decision.
Hale and Fullilove, who live in a room to
be tripled next year, set up a table in the
. Carolina Union for four hours Wednes
day to capture the signatures of passer
bys. Students who signed the petition
ranged from those who will be most af
fected, by the decision to those who will
not be affected at all.
Joe Simpson, a Mangum resident
whose room will become a quadruple
next year, said the rooms are too small
for additional occupants. "I don't know
of anybody who's going to volunteer to
.be quadrupled into a room that small,"
he said.
Simpson lives in a tripled fourth-floor
corner room and said the ceiling slants
downward at a 60 degree angle and con
nects with a wall about three feet above
the floor. "There's no head room," he
said. "And there's no way they're going
to bunk two sets of beds."
Privacy would be a major problem in a
room with three and four residents,
David Eilers, a freshman who lives in
Morrison, said. Referring to the "Room
to Live" booklets, he said he would like
to have "room to breathe, also."
Fullilove and Hale had 200 signatures
Wednesday and said they hoped to get at
least 300 more. They will set up a table in
the Union Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
to obtain additional signatures.
They said they hoped to make enough
"noise to let Boulton know that people
don't approve of the new policy."
"The ones we have found are generally
acceptable.
"The proposed test will involve two
sections," Brown said. "One will include
multiple choice questions on grammar
and word usage. The second will require
the student to write several paragraphs or
a sample note."
A pilot test conducted last year con
sisted of one thousand students in four
schools, Brown said. A similar test will be
conducted this year.
Stallings said several NCAE members
participated in that first pilot program.

availability and location contributed to
the plan's attractiveness, Kawalec said..
Some discussion arose among the
council of using the space to house the
Chapel Hill Public Library. Library of
ficials are currently searching for a new
location.
But Secrist said the library was not a
feasible alternative. Heavy traffic, a
dangerous pedestrian intersection, insuf
ficient parking space and awkward size of
the building make the location
undesirable, Secrist said.
Mary Boone, director of the Chapel
Hill Public Library, said she opposed us
ing the space for the library.

Experience valuable to skaters

Faye Royals has just finished her first
attempt at ice skating.
"I just went all the way around that
rink, holding onto the rail all the way,"
said Royals, a nurse at John Umstead
Hospital in Butner, N.C.
Royals was at Daniel Boone Twin Ice
Rinks in Hillsborough.
Asked if she would make another at
tempt, she said, "It's very debatable."
Out in the center of the rink, experienc
ed skaters twirled gracefully.
Royals said she had always wanted to
try skating. But others at Daniel Boone
were veteran ice skaters.
"I can really express myself better out
here.," said Sara Levin, 14, who attends
Phillips Junior High School in Chapel
Hill.
Levin said she skates three or four
times a week but also loves to watch other
skaters and to compete in figure skating.
"The first time I really didn't like it
(skating)," Levin said. She said she
started to enjoy it more after she took
lessons.
John Hasnas, a graduate. student at
Duke University, is from New York,
where ice skating is very popular. "But I
didn't skate in .New York," Hasnas said.
Hasnas said that in New York the rinks
are so crowded a skater gets pushed along
once he steps onto the ice. "But down
here, look how much room there is," he
said.
Experience may be the best defense a
skater can have. Experience is even more
valuable on a crowded skate floor.
Fast-moving bodies that whiz by on all
sides can easily make novice skaters jit
tery and uncertain enough to have ac
cidents. However, the problem is easy to avoid.
"Come at a time when there aren't
many people," said Dennis Wilkerson,
Because of the building's limitations, the
director and board of trustees never
favored use of the space, she said. Of
ficials hope to build a new 16,000 square
foot central building.
Kawalec said she favored leasing the
space for private use.
"It seems to me that the town will very
likely need the space for municipal offices'
within the next 10 years," she said.
Leasing the building to a non-profit
organization would be expensive for the
town, Kawalec said.
"It would cost the town to be a
landlord. This question has to be looked
at in the context of the budget."
Some Chapel Hill Historical Commis
sion members expressed concern about
the future of the building.
"It's out of the historical district," said
Richard Lamberton, historical commis
sion member. "We're all concerned
about it, but we have no jurisdiction."

manager of Sports World of Raleigh.
Wilkerson said afternoons and Satur
day matinees were ' usually the slowest
business times.
Wilkerson said that Sports World, a
skating facility, is different from
skating rink
He said a facility has stricter rules and
enforcement by the management than
most skating rinks.
Skating always involves an element of
risk, as any other sport does, said Maxine
Freedland, manager of Daniel Boone
Twin Ice Rinks.
"We have signs saying that they skate
at their own risk," she said.
Her skating rink, like most other rinks
employs a skateguard as a safety
measure.
The guard, who skates on the floor
among other skaters, keeps order and
controls traffic when accidents occur.
When accidents happen, Freeland said
they often happen to beginners. "I think
they need a class to learn the basics o
skating."
Classes help beginners find skates that
fit, and then they demonstrate how to
lace skates up for maximum comfort and
safety.
A proper fit in skates is very important
Freeland said, yet is often overlooked by
beginners.
Beginners may have other misconcep
tions as well. They may think thick socks
are best, she said, because they are
warmer.
"The pros tell us that thin socks are
better," Freeland said. Thick socks tend
to cut off circulation and may keep a
skater from being able to feel how his
skates really fit. No amount of caution
and skill is enough to always keep skaters
from getting hurt.
The most common injury in any sport
is a bruise on the buttocks or lower ex
