PRICE Staff Writer "Whenever Duke catcher Tom Decker and theUNC baseball team have met this season, some sort of complaining and muttering has been the result. Wednesday's ACC Tournament contest was no ex ception. In a 4-2 North Carolina win dominated by UNC pitcher Scott Bankhead's six-hit, nine-strikeout per formance,, the confrontation between Decker and North Carolina catcher B.J. Surhoff in the eighth in ning almost turned one of the least physical of sports into the Thrilla in Manila.' With the Tar Heels up 4-2, Surhoff singled to right field to open the inning and was sacrificed to second on a Pete Kumiega bunt. Surhoff moved to third on Ken Fay's wild pitch, and UNC coach Mike Roberts called for the suicide squeeze. ' Mike Jedziniak, the Tar Heel second baseman who went 2-for-4 for the game, laid down the bunt, but it wasn't perfect. "I was out by a mile and I just tried to duck under him," Surhoff said. "I thought he might have been a little too aggressive on the tag." Surhoff pushed Decker's arm, was called out again for interference this time and Decker pushed back. : . The benches cleared, the fans started yelling, both benches tossed epithets back and forth, and the next thing Surhoff knew, "the third baseman was on top of me before I turned around," No punches were thrown, and the game ended minutes later on a picture-perfect Kumiega-to-- Jedziniak-to-Kumiega double play,'but Surhoff was surprised by the Duke reaction: .... "Their assistant coach came in like hewanted to fight somebody," Surhoff said. "It was just a heated battled, no big deal. "It was probably a lot of frustration." And the 12-121 Blue Devils had plenty to be frustrated about. The Tar Heels jumped to an early 1-0 lead in the second inning when Kumiega, 3-for-3 on the day, scored on Jedziniak's bouncing single. - Duke put men on second and third in their third inning but couldn't get them home. UNC responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning after desig nated hitter Drex Roberts walked and third baseman Jeff Hubbard delivered a bloop single to short right field. Both runners successfully pulled off a double steal, and Kumiega rolled a base hit up the middle for the two RBI. ;! The Blue Devils finally broke through in the fourth with two runs on DH Fred Donegan's two-out dou ble with two men on. But that was the' last hit they would get until a single in the ninth inning, because Bankhead settled into his slider.., , , "The big key to getting a lot of strikeouts is getting - c ahead on the batter," Bankhead. now 7-0. said. think my slider is my out pitch; today my slider was getting 'em out." . After that two-run Duke rally, Bankhead's slider and fastball retired the next nine batters in a row, and then lefthander Tim Kirk came in to" mop up in the eighth and ninth to earn the save. - Meanwhile, UNC . notched its final run ' when Roberts doubled right fielder Todd Wilkinson home in the seventh. ': The eighth found Decker holding the ball and Surhoff charging home at the end of a Duke-UNC .confrontation typical of this season. - - "It's always an aggressive-type game," Kumiega said. "Tommy's an aggressive kid, an aggressive style ballplayer. You can't knock him for that." During the first Duke-UNC matchup a month ago in Chapel Hill, senior center fielder Greg Schuler was put out of commission for the season when the two collided at the plate. "I think that had a little to do with it," Surhoff said, explaining Wednesday's brouhaha. "He really lowered the boom on (center fielder) Glenn (Liacouras) over there too. I guess he likes it to be his plate." North Carolina, now 37-7, takes on Maryland to day at 4 p.m. in second-round play at Boshamer Stadium. . .

The Reagan administration had argued that allowing states to prohibit new plants could seriously jeopardize the growth of nuclear power as a source of electricity. But after the 9-0 decision, upholding a 1976 California moratorium on new atomic power plants, industry spokesmen tried to play down its impart. "It's not theMeath knell for nuclear power," said Linda Hodge, counsel for the Atomic Industrial Forum. Robert Dobkin, a spokesman for the same trade group, said there is not likely to be any immediate impact on the 57 nuclear plants already under construction nation wide. In other decisions Wednesday, the court: Declared unconstitutional a federal law that banned demonstrators from the public sidewalks surrounding the court's own building on Capitol Hill. The justices said it violated free speech to ban pickets from the sidewalks. Said government officials who are sued successfully mav be forced to pay rmance punitive damages to prevent future wrong doing. The court upheld a $30,000 jury award against a Missouri prison guard who was sued by an inmate who had been raped. , Ruled that Los Angeles police may use two types of chokeholds to subdue people who resist arrest. The decision overturned a ruling that barred such police tactics. In the nuclear case, Laurence Tribe, the Harvard law professor who represented California, said the decision meant states could prevent plants already under , con struction from beginning operations. "The decision's underlying rationale is a total victory for the states," he said. The states' power under the ruling "plainly is independent of the question whether the plant has begun construction or not," he said. However, Tribe did not suggest that states necessarily would toy to block those plants from beginning operations. To do so, they likely would have to compensate fully the affected plant owners. To date, no state has tried to prevent a plant under construction from eventually beginning operations. There are two plants being built in California which were ex empted by the state from its 7-year-old moratorium. See COURT on page 5 Committee tables 'BTH' request Group d rov idesfor By MARK STTNNEFORD Staff Writer The Campus Governing . Council Finance" Committee' Wednesday put off a decision on whether The Daily Tar Heel should, receive a requested $31,200 ap propriation. Charlie Madison, a member of the DTH Board of Directors, said at a Finance Committee meeting that the newspaper needed the money to cover a $12,700 deficit from the current fiscal year. In addition, the DTH needs $18,500 to ensure that it breaks even next year, he said. The paper could use the $18,500 as a reserve to eliminate four-page newspapers next year, he said. Because of the lack of advertising space, the DTH loses about $300 to $500 for each four-page paper it prints, Madison said. The paper loses somewhat less on six-page' papers and breaks even on eight-page papers, he said. DTH Editor Kerry DeRochi said that to avoid a deficit the paper would have been forced to run 37 four-page papers this academic year, about one in every four. The paper will have run 15 four-page papers when publishing concludes for the academic year next week, she said. CGC Finance Committee Chairman Doc Droze (District 22) said that until the returns from Saturday's Carolina Concert for Children are in, the CGC will not know if it can afford to meet the DTH re- off -campus students By HEIDI OWEN Staff Writer k ... Off-campus students now have an organization much like the Residence Hall Association that exists for dorm residents. . The Off-Campus Student Association, formed last semester, helps students living off campus feel more a part of the Universi ty, said John Edgerly, faculty adviser for the organization and director of the Student Development and Counseling Center. "There was a concern that off-campus students were not being represented,". Edgerly said. "We are trying to address these issues." " The association, consisting of 30 active members, was developed as a result of efforts made by the Student Government Housing Committee. "We did assessments to sec if such an organization was needed, and it was obvious that there were definitely problems that needed to-be contended with," said SG Housing Committee -member Jody Miller. Miller talked to students interested in forming an organization , for off-campus students, held two meetings and soon had a con stitution written for the group. Four areas which students decided posed the most difficulties for off-campus students were developed into separate committees within the organization. . 1 "The most important of these committees is probably the one which was designed to increase the communication between students living off campus and on-campus activities," said Tracy Cappel, president of the Off-Campus Student Association. "A lot of times students who.do not live at the University really don't know what is going on, and we want to improve this," Cap pel said. Although funding for a monthly newsletter to be sent to off campus students was denied by the Campus Governing Council,- See OSA on page 5 quest. The books on the concert are not expected to be closed until late May at the earliest, he said, . . , "There's no, way we can appropriate this money until next faff' Droze said In the meantime, the Finance Commit tee decided to set up a subcommittee to evaluate DTH finances. The subcommittee, to be headed by Droze, "will consist of three members of the Finance Committee, two members of the Rules and Judiciary Committee and one member of the Stu dent Affairs Committee. The DTH has a budget of $394,000 for the current fiscal year, about $70,000 of which comes from Student Activity Fees. The balance comes from the sale of adver tising. Following the meeting, DeRochi said she understood the committee's problems but added that any delay in receiving an appropriation could force the DTH to produce a number of four-page issues at the beginning of the fall semester. "But I think it will work out for the best," she added. "The extra time will give them a chance to look over our budget and find out how much we need the money." In other action, the Finance Committee rejected a request from the UNC March ing Tar Heels for $2,000 to buy four new bass drums. Band member Joel MacDonald'said the Marching Tar Heels urgently need the new drums for the fall season. See CGC on page 5 r PIRG to rally toddy at Carolina Inn South Africa for divest men tin DTH. Jeff Neovilie Tracy Cappel, president of Off Campus Student Association she confers with Jody Moore, founder of the organization By JOSEPH BERRYHILL Staff Writer The UNC Public Interest Research Group has scheduled a rally at 2:30 p.m. today outside the Carolina Inn to demonstrate student support for the removal of UNC investments in South Africa. The rally will precede a 3 p.m. meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Endowment Fund, which is elected by the UNC Board of Trustees. The -board , will discuss divestment of corporations which operate in South Africa. Representatives from other campus groups, in cluding Sherrod Banks of the Black Student Move , ment, will speak at the rally. Assistant Professor of political science Beverly C. Grier will also speak, said PIRG member Joe Morris. The rally is being held "both to demonstrate sup-. port for divestment, and to protest the fact that students are excluded from the meeting," Morris said. The Endowment Board's meetings are closed to the public, said Virginia Dunlap, secretary of the University. The BOT has a standing invitation to at tend the Endowment Board's meetings but may not -participate in them, Dunlap said. PIRG is a 30-member campus chapter of a na tional organization begun by Ralph Nader, Morris said. The UNC chapter is' a liberal political action group that is concerned with many issues; including U.S. intervention in the Third World, he added. PIRG requested and was granted a meeting with ' the Endowment Board on Feb. 18. At the meeting, PIRG members Morris and Harvey Jenkins told the board they opposed UNC investments in South Africa because of that country's apartheid govern ment. Apartheid is a policy of segregation and political 'If they don't divest this year, they're going to have to do it next year because student support is not going to disap pear. ' v David Goldman PIRG member and economic discrimination against non-European groups in the Republic of South Africa. PIRG member David Goldman said he was not optimistic that the Endowment Board would approve divestment but added that whatever the outcome, students would continue to fight for divestment. "It's hard to measure what will make them want to divest," Goldman said. "If they don't divest this year, they're going to have to do it next year because student support is not going to disappear." Student Body President Kevin Monroe, a member of the BOT, said that he supported the divestment of funds in South African corporations and that he was aware that students supported divestment in a referendum passed on Feb. 8. Monroe said that as the only student at the meeting, he expected to have some input into the discussion of UNC divestment. The meeting was originally scheduled for March 24, but was postponed because of snowfall. Neither UNC Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham III nor Farris Womack, UNC vice chancellor for business and finance, was available for comment Wednesday. John A. Tate, chairman of the Endow ment Board, was also unavailable for comment.
