OTHAl Steele UNC sophomore Michael Jordan fights with Chip Engelland for possession of ball in Saturday's 103-82 thrashing of Duke ...the Blue Devils and a partisan Carmichael crowd watched Jordan soar for dunks, grab rebounds and dive for loose balls IT TT were comes ivi TV FT IJV By S.L. PRICE . Sports Editor Check out Michael Jordan. Look at his hands, dangling like two big tying pmsjrgm his thiii arhis. Note how his piippylike fe'eTBla?" the bruises and blisters and scars of many a bas ketball battle, blisters that will heal only to open up again the next time Michael Jordan takes to the court. Watch Michael fly. There he is on the right wing, there's that fluid first step, he's past you now and the ball is cradled in those big Hands; he's mashed it through the net and is halfway upcourt while you're still watching the ball drop to the floor. He did it again Saturday. With a 32-point, seven-rebound effort, Jordan tossed a two-ton shovelful of dirt on Duke as North Carolina buried the Blue Devils, 103-82, in Carmichael Auditorium, and proved once more what the praisemakers have been saying all season. Michael Jordan is the best guard in college basketball. Here's what Michael Jordan can do: Steve Hale tossed up an awkward shot on the left, wing. ; Jordan burst ' Lfrom, ;he .tight side, grabbed the ball as it slipped off He glass, and gently banked it in to increase the UNC blow out. V - Jordan goes up to shoot a simple layup, but two Duke defenders go up with him. He pumps once, twice, three times, the Devils fall from space, and Jordan puts it in. Three times Jordan ignited the c owd and his teammates with explosive drive 'n dunks. He ladled out a team-high five assists. He trapped, double-teamed, and flat out intimidated the younger Duke squad with his defensive play, which included three steals. - '. : And the rave reviews have been rolling in ever since. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski: "Jordan works as hard as a player works, especially an ucnae excellent player. He set the tone for the game. He said I want it, give it to me, I'm going to work for it; he was just excellent." Excellent in the Duke game, excellent all season, Jordan is averaging J 8.3 j5pints a game tops for the Ta Heels and second" only to" Maryland's Adrian Branch and Ralph Sampson of Virginia. "He's the best player I've ever seen or played against, except for Sampson," UNC freshman Steve Hale said. "And if he was 7-4, it'd be a different story." Don't let Dean Smith fool you. Sure, every player is important to the team-based Smith system of basketball, but Jordan is the crowd pleaser, the sparkplug, maybe the key to the most improved team in college ball. "He gets people going," Matt Dohertjrsaid. "He has the talent, and he can do it on one play where it would take another player two or three plays. He can take over a game." Jordan has taken over before. A last-second ordan desperation jumper to reverse a sure Tulane vic tory into overtime, and an eventual UNC win. Fifteen second-half points against Maryland in a 72-71 squeaker. Fifteen points, eight rebounds against N.C. State.X... . X t- . ... And along with his already impressive offen sive statistics, Jordan has worked on his defense. He won his first defensive award at North Carolina this season. He now goes to the basket more, with and without the ball, instead of hanging back and popping from the outside, or letting Sam Perkins do all the work under the boards. But that's not the only difference in Jordan this year. "Before the last game, I saw Michael in the hall and I put my hand on his shoulder to say hello," N.C. State head coach Jim Valvano See JORDAN on page 4 UNGmore accessible for disabled By BELINDA ROLLINS Assistant News Editor "Back in the '60s, disabled students went to St. Andrews, Berkeley or Illinois," said Laura Thomas, Handicapped Coordinator for the Department of Student Life. "They didn't have a large selection of colleges. Now the choice is wider." - UNC has become one of the choices. There currently are 10 to 15 students on campus who use wheelchairs. "I don't think they should look at a catalog or drive through a campus and decide not to go to that school," Thomas said. "Families look for where the problems are. We're trying to help them see where the problems are not. "Disabled students need to took at what com munity resources are available," Thomas said. Chapel Hill is attractive to disabled students because of its public transportation system, she added. "It's one of the best in North Carolina. It goes from one end of Carrboro to the other end of Chapel Hill." . She added that a disabled student needs to look at the whole town. Buses run on every route that are equipped with lifts for handicapped passen gers at scheduled times. In compliance of section 504 of the 1973 Reha bilitation Act (as amended), this campus has met three requirements. UNC has a person available to help students with accessibility problems. It has also done a self-study to determine what barriers it has that would be a problem for disabled students. Uni versity compliance does not stop there. There also is a plan for reducing the number of physical barriers and for changing policy barriers as well. The University receives a two-year state budget for barrier removal and Occupational Safety and Health Administration renovations. The budget for 1981-82 was $75,000. Gordon Rutherford, UNC planning director, said there was always competition between bar rier removal and OSHA. Money for architectural barrier removal is ap propriated by; the North Carolina General Assem bly leased Wa funding request and budget sub-' mitted by the UNC planning office, Rutherford said. . The costs of renovation varies from case to case. Figures from 1980 give an idea of the ex pense involved in making these renovations. It costs about $500 to make one sidewalk curb ac cessible; lowering drinking fountains costs $300 a fountain. Ramps can cost between $1,500 and $7,000 and elevators, $25,000 to $150,000. The renovations done at Steele Building where the Handicapped Student Services office is located cost $19,200. This figure includes con struction of a ramp and restroom renovations. Other renovations that have been done on the University campus include widening doorways See DISABLED on page 4 For Luther Hodges Jr . atec Corpot limbing requires sacrifice First in a five-part series on promi nent UNC alumni. By CINDY 1 1 AG A Staff Writer The old saying, "like father, like son" rings true for Luther Hodges Jr., in theory if not in practice. And s-u-c-c-e-s-s spe!!3 thr word that sums up the theory behind both UNC alumni father and son. Hodges, a 1957 UNC graduate, is pre sident of the National Bank of Washing ton, D.C. "From my standpoint," Hodges said, "there was only one place to go (to col lege)." Hodges said he always felt he would go into some sort of business career; but since he was only 16 when he began at UNC, he was not positive what he wanted to do. "Nor do I think anyone at 16 should know what they want to do," he said. Although pursuing a totally different career than his father, who was governor of North Carolina from 1954-1961, Hodges' proficiency in banking is as great as his father's was in politics. Hodges began his career in 1966 by turning his B.A. in economics and his M.B.A. from Harvard into a job with the North Carolina National Bank. At that time, most other North Carolina businesses were family-oriented, Hodges said. "(But) by education and background, 1 was more of an organiza tion man." Since NCNB had just merged when Hodges was hired, the new industry sparkled with opportunities for advance ment. Combining these opportunities with his managing ability and his drive to be at the top, Hodges soon had exhibited his worth as a banking administrator. Most people, he said, are not willing to make the sacrifices needed to reach the top; they are afraid of assuming too much risk and responsibility. "You make a total commitment to the corporation," Hodges said. ' This commitment calls for less time at home, less time to play less time in general. Hodges, however, has never been accustomed to having excessive amounts of free time. At UNC, he was a member of several honor societies, including Phi Beta Kap pa and the Gimghoui Society. He was Student Council chairman and an Inter fraternity Council member. He also ran track, joined the Young Democrats Club and he was in the naval ROTC. Since then, Hodges has not limited himself to a chair behind an executive bank desk. He has worked in the Carter administration as deputy secretary of commerce, he has served on several cor porate boards, and he ran for the N.C. Senate in 1978. At that time, he said he was interested in new challenges and in public service. .: Perhaps his father's influence motivated him in this interest. "He (his father) always said that people should devote themselves to a private life, then as soon as they are . able, should devote themselves to the public." Hodges certainly has knowledge and training to devote to the public; but his devotion has been mostly in the financial realm rather than in the political realm. . "1 think it (banking) has as much to do as any business with the total functioning of a community," he said. "I think banks will become more and more involved in public policy."

Dalton's campaign slogan is "action," and he emphasized his desire to make RHA an active organization. "I think RHA needs to take a posi tive, active role toward dorm residents," Dalton said. RHA also could sponsor more academic and social programs, he added. "People ask what RHA is," he said. "I hope to accomplish an awareness of RHA by programming." Distributing an . RHA newsletter is another activity Dalton would like RHA to undertake. "People want to know things about policies," he said, adding that dormi tory residents often do not see informa tion concerning University housing. The newsletter could cover policies" such as the cooking policy and the loft policy, Dalton said. But policy should not be the only function of RHA, Dalton added. "I want residence hall residents to -know that RHA is here and can work with them in other areas besides policy," he said. An improved relationship between RHA and Student Government is another of Dalton's goals. "I'd like to strengthen RHA's role with Student Government," he said. "1 think Student Government should let RHA handle things to a bigger degree that affect on-campus residents." Dalton said he would like to see RHA work to improve kitchen facilities in the residence halls. f A. . - r . I Mike Dalton "Since the cooking policy has come down and is being enforced this se mester, RHA needs to work quickly for kitchen facilities in the dorms," he said, noting that Ehringhaus Residence College has obtained six microwave ovens that have not been installed even though the cooking' policy is in effect. Enhancement funds should be kept under the control of University Hous ing, Dalton said, but he said that both RHA and Housing should keep better records of the funds. There are no . more enhancement funds for this semester and the reasons for their depletion are unclear, Dalton said. Dalton is governor of Ehringhaus Residence College, where he served as a floor president his freshman year. He also serves on the RHA Student Re frigerator Rental Service Committee. Winstead makes bid for RHA presidency :::::::::::::: . .-. . By JOSEPH BERRYHILL Staff Writer Frank Winstead, a sophomore political science major from Rocky( Mount, announced his candidacy for the Residence Hall Association presi dency Friday. "I'd like to use RHA to fight against (the University Department of) Hous ing because they're treating us unfairly," Winstead said. He advo cated changes in the housing depart ment's cooking policy and zip . cord policy, and said that the position of resident assistant should be eliminated. "This whole new cooking policy is ridiculous," Winstead said. "I don't like it. I don't think RHA has repre sented the students properly. We should stand up to Housing." Winstead recognized that it was the insurance commissioner's recom mendation which caused housing to implement the cooking policy. "From Housing's standpoint, it was the best thing they could do," he said. But he added that students should fight against such policies. "If students don't like what Housing is doing, they should use RHA to take up for them," he said. The cooking policy may increase the danger of fire in the residence halls because students might try to hide their illegal hotplates (while they are still warm) in containers such as cardboard boxes that may ignite, Winstead said. "I just want to represent the students better than they've been represented before," Winstead said. "I also think the zip cord policy is ridiculous." Zip cords are extension cords which have little insulation. University Hous ing doc not allow then use in dormitories. t i ft t '' f .t.i. I in I r- i .in i... 11..1 nil' .11 II Frank Winstead " I hey (zip cords) are used in apart ments and houses," he said. "What's dangerous about them? They're UL listed.'l , Winstead said he also supports elim inating RAs in the dormitories. RAs are "an added expense and take up housing space," Winstead said. "Their services can be provided by other (campus) services or desk atten dants." Area directors and the campus police are two sources Winstead cited as being able to replace the RA in the residence halls. "If elected, I plan to refuse to coop erate with Housing," Winstead said. "If we can organize RHA and the stu dents on campus, what are they (the University Department of Housing) go ing to do? They're out-numbered." Winstead is a resident of Alexander Residence Hall.
