An exuberant North Carolina fan walked up to Jordan and said, "Michael, you're the best basketball player in the world." A sports writer said, "Don't tell him that, it'll go to his head." "Why not?" the fan asked. "He knows it's true." Jordan may not be All-World, but he proved this weekend why he is an Ail American, pacing UNC with 45 points, many on thunderous slams. Jordan scored IS points in the first half of Friday's Furman game and finished with a game-high 21. Saturday, Jordan was the artist of 19 of North Carolina's 37 first-half points against a pesky Citadel team. He finished with 24 points as the team pulled away in the second half for a 76-60 victory. - "I wasn't doing anything different," Jordan said. "I just wanted to create some things. I saw some opportunities to score and took them." Whatever the junior guard was doing, it worked. He kept the Charlotte Col iseum rocking with his dunking, passing, blocking and rebounding. Jordan carried the club in the first half Saturday against The Citadel. His turnaround jumper in the lane and court-long drive and slam put UNC up 4-0 early, and it looked like lights out for The Citadel. But the Bulldogs scratched back and kept it close, even taking a three-point lead in the final minutes of the half, pac ed by guard Regan Truesdale's 14 points. But with less than a minute to go, Jordan sank two quick baskets to give North Carolina its biggest first-half lead at 37-32. "They were playing hard, but we were too," Jordan said. "The shots just weren't falling." But the second half was a different story, as the rest of the Tar Heels picked up the pace and UNC coasted down the stretch. Jordan's last basket was a slam on an assist from Matt Doherty that cap ped a 21-4 UNC run. The two one-sided victories left the Tar Heels at 20-0 and looking sharp as they head toward the crucial part of the season. Was it hard for the No. 1 ranked Tar Heels to get motivated for this tour nament after last year's massacres? "Every game is a big game, every time out," Jordan said. "Those guys out there tonight were all scholarship athletes." Guard Steve Hale, who had 11 assists on the weekend, likened this tournament to a golf match. "You play the course, not your opponents," Hale said. "We try to play each possession down the court, one step at a time. We try to play a perfect game against whoever is out there." Matt Doherty, who was five of five from the field Saturday night and had 19 points in the tournament, commented on N.C. State coach Jim Valvano's remark that UNC may be in the ACC but is in its own league. "It feels nice to hear that, but we still have to play the games. Nobody is easy." How about the possibility of going undefeated all season? "I won't comment on that," Doherty said. "We've got to think about Virginia this week." Citadel coach Les Robinson was im pressed by what he saw. "Carolina is one of the greatest teams I have ever seen, although last year's team was pretty good also." Robinson had some bragging to do of his own, though. His guard, Truesdale, was the tournament leader in scoring (51 points). "You just can't say enough about Regan Truesdale," Robinson said. "He was awesome tonight," Jordan said Saturday. "He made lots of tough shots." ebanon s prime minister res n DTHCharles LerJford Led by Michael Jordan, UNC won both of its games in the final North South Doubleheader to raise its record to 20-0. Gaddy declares candidacy for Student Body President The Associated Press BEIRUT, Lebanon Prime Minister Shafik Wazzan and his eight-man Cabinet resigned Sunday in hopes a new government can end Lebanon's continual warfare. Meanwhile, Shiite Moslem militiamen seized control of much of the road to Beirut airport, where the U.S. Marines are based, leaving the Lebanese army in control of a single checkpoint. Twelve people were killed in a fourth day of heavy fighting between the army and the Shiite jmal mffitia at the jerie Semaan crossing in BeirutT - -f - . . . "v ,'". v: President Amin Gemayel, a Maronite Christian, ac cepted the resignation of the Cabinet, one day after a top Shiite Moslem leader called on all Moslem ministers to resign from the government. Wazzan and four Cabinet members are Moslems. Five are Christian. Wazzan said the resignation was offered to allow for mation of a national coalition government that might help end Lebanon's factional bloodshed. "I hope, rather I insist, you immediately accept it," Wazzan said he told Gemayel. The presidential palace said Gemayel asked Wazzan to stay on as a caretaker until a new Cabinet could be form ed, then immediately called in the speaker of Parliament, Kamel Assad, to begin discussions on formation of a new government. Wazzan, prime minister since J980, had submitted his resignation twice since Sept. 26, but Gemayel refused to accept it. Wazzan and his Cabinet have been under fire from Lebanese opposition groups of all religious factions, who accuse them of being puppets of Gemayel. The op position maintains the government is in the hands of rightist Christians of the Phalange' Party, headed by Gemayel's famerrPiene- c-- r : On Saturday, Nabih Berri, the leader of Amal, urged Moslem Cabinet members to leave the government and asked Moslems in the Lebanese army to lay down their arms. Under the unwritten "national covenant" made in 1943, the prime minister must be a Sunni Moslem, while the president is a Maronite Christian. Five of the Cabinet seats are allotted to Christians, four Moslems and one to a Druse. The Druse finance minister, Adel Hamieh, resigned last September to protest the Lebanese shelling of Druse villages in the hills. Hamieh was never replaced. The Druse are members of a secretive sect that is an offshoot isns of Islam. About 60 percent of the country's population is believed to be Moslem, about 7 percent Druse, and the remainder Christian. At Vatican City on Sunday, Pope John Paul II urgently called for a truce in Lebanon, saying that "bloody clashes and intense bombardments" have reached unprecedented levels. The pontiff asked the more than 25,000 faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square to pray so "hope in a future of peace and respect can survive within th hearts of all the Lebanese, who sincere ly love their country." The Lebanese army abandoned one major check point, several sentry posts and two training camps on the airport road Sunday. Only one small army checkpoint remained on the highway, and Shiite gunmen of the Amal militia were seen walking freely up and down the road. U.S. Marine representative Maj. Dennis Brooks said the Marines at the airport had not been involved in the conflict Sunday. The Marines went on their highest stage of alert for about a half-hour. The surrender of the airport road raised fears that the -See LEBANON tin page 2 By DICK ANDERSON Staff Writer Susan Gaddy, a junior economics and political science major from Greenville, S.C., has announced her candidacy for student body president. "There are campus issues that need to be addressed in this election which I am willing to take a stand on," Gaddy said, "and I challenge the other candidates to take a stand." Si '84 Gaddy said women's issues such as campus security, sexual harassment and faculty hiring needed to be addressed. "I'd like to see students have more input on all faculty hiring decisions, whether through the student body president herself, marches, petitions or conversa tion with other faculty .members," she said. "Students deserve input on who is going to be teaching them." On the issues of dormitory telephone service, Gaddy said she knew of a com pany willing to come to UNC and offer discount service to students, "whether I am elected or not." Gaddy said she had insight into the workings of food services as a member and then chair of the Food and Health Services Committee. "In October of 1982, after talking with students in Hin ton James who were dissatisfied with the Pine Room, annoyed by the (dormitory) cooking policy and who didn't unders tand why Chase Cafeteria was closed, I took the initiative of relating the informa tion to the vice chancellor's Food Services Advisory Commission," she said. "In January of 1983, the South Campus dorms began to serve hot food." Gaddy said she would work for changes in financial aid distribution to eliminate the long lines at the beginning of each semester at Vance and Bynum halls. "If the University were to update its computer system, these lines would dissolve and state personnel overtime costs would be held to a minimum," she said. ( ' JSusan Gaddy "I have not been an active member of student government during this academic year because I was disillusioned and felt impotent in getting projects completed," Gaddy said. "I'd like to see the executive branch serve as a student advocate and as an effective service organization." Gaddy, currently chair of Campus Y's Commission on Undergraduate Educa tion, has served as chairperson of the Food and Health Services and on numerous other committees. Hunt announces candidacy for U.S. Senate By TOM CONLON Staff Writer WILSON Democratic Gov. Jim Hunt, scheduled to file in Raleigh this morning for the U.S. Senate, formally announced his candidacy Saturday before an overflow crowd of 1 ,5000 peo ple at the James Baxter Hunt Jr. Senior High School gym nasium. The announcement officially set the stage for what many political observers have said would be the most-watched cam paign in 1984 besides the presidental race. Hunt's Republican opponent, Sen. Jesse Helms, filed for re-election Jan. 24. Hunt, raised in the rural community of Rock Ridge in Wilson County, announced at the high school named in his honor and located near his boyhood home. "This campaign will be about trust trust in each other and trust in the power of God to sustain us all," Hunt said. "This campaign will be about confidence confidence in the future of our country. I intend to be a United States Senator who works for an America that has the military strength to defend freedom in the world and the moral courage to save our world from nuclear war. "I intend to be a United States Senator who works for a healthy and competitive economy that creates jobs and oppor tunities, and I intend to be a Senator who works for a fair economy, where tax cuts go to working families and the middle class, not just to loopholes and tax shelters for the rich," he said. In his speech, Hunt never mentioned Helms whom he'will be challenging for the Senate seat on November 6 if he wins the May 8 Democraticprimary. Hunt will be challenged by Democrat Harrill Love Jones of Gastonia, while the two-term incumbent Helms will be opposed in the primary by George Wimbush of Charlotte. Hunt also said he would work for a stong and growing America with the military strength to defend freedom in the world and to work for an America providing room for young and old, man and woman, black and white, to achieve their dreams.

It was really their birthday that occa sioned the special dinner and exchange of presents, but they laughingly told the children that we were celebrating Ground Hog Day." When Andrews was in second grade, he wrote personalized Ground Hog Day ' poems oh penny postcards and sent them to the twins and his friends. Since then, he has sent them out every year. His list once grew to a many as 10,000 people, Andrews said. When costs of postcards and postage rose, he began sending fewer cards but oegan noiaing Ground Hog Day parties in 1960 instead. "We had some big ones and thoroughly enjoyed it, but this became very expensive and extremely time consuming," he said. "In more re cent years, wc relied on getting together, with only a few friends. "It is true that the ground hog hibernates during much of the winter and that he and she emerge around early February, but I contend that no ground hog is stupid enough to be searching for his own shadow... I believe that they emerge from their holes to search for friends, celebration, fun and even ground hogs of the opposite sex," Andrews said.
