All the talk in basketball circles here early in the season centered on the 7-4 vertical void left by the departure of Ralph Sampson: e.g. its likely effects on Virginia's chances of staying near the top of the ACC and secure what has become a habitual spot in the NCAA tournament. All talk since Tuesday centered on what coach Terry Holland would have his team do to be the first to topple the na tion's No. 1 -ranked team. The answer? Get smaller. The outcome? Don't ask. North Carolina took advantage of an undersized and outclassed Virginia lineup, opened up a big lead and left the No-Doz on the bench with an 85-72 win in front of a University Hall crowd of 9,000 Thursday. The victory was the Tar Heels' 21st in a row, coach Dean Smith's longest winning streak ever. Ail-American Sam Perkins continued to enlist the praise of a list of peers as long as his 41 -inch arms. Perkins scored a game-high 27 points and pulled down 1 1 rebounds to pass Billy Cunningham as North Carolina's all-time leading re bounder with 1 ,072. Michael Jordan, the other half of the Tar Heels' otherworldly Ail-American combination, finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds. North Carolina moved to 21-0 on the year, 9-0 in the ACC, while the Cavaliers slipped to 13-7 and 3-7 in the ACC. "I think you saw what kind of basket ball team North Carolina has tonight," Holland said. "Perkins and Jordan were awesome. I don't think I've ever seen players play as well on court at the same time." Virginia had entered Thursday's game still wondering how good it was with a new, pint-sized lineup that had beaten a No. 18 Georgia Tech team by 32 points 'just two days before.

J ... -. :.:: Harmon platform stresses social, economic issues The Associated Press BEIRUT, Lebanon The U.S. 6th Fleet bombarded rebel-held ridges out side Beirut for a second day Thursday after government and rebel gunners trad ed artillery barrages around the divided and devastated city. Lebanese and Syrian reports claimed U.S. Navy jets also went into action over the mountain area Thursday, but a U.S. military spokesman denied it. Syria, whose troops occupy the moun tains with the Druse-Moslem anti government forces, issued a warning to the United States. "Syria cannot stand neutral watching the barbaric bombardment practiced by the 6th Fleet against Lebanese civilians," the Damascus government radio said, ad ding that the Syrians "may be compelled to react." There were no reports Thursday that the 1,400 U.S. Marines dug in at the air port on Beirut's southern edge had come under renewed fire. The U.S. Embassy here said it was not yet considering a general evacuation of the estimated 1,500 U.S. citizens in bat tered Beirut. In Washington, one Reagan ad ministration official reportedly said the phased withdrawal of the Marines from the Beirut airport area could take as long as early summer. The American shelling of Beirut is sole ly to defend the multinational force in Lebanon and not to prop up the country's tottering government, White House spokesman Larry Speakes said Thursday. About 50 more U.S. Embassy em ployees and dependents were airlifted from Lebanon by helicopter Thursday to ships offshore, U.S. Marine spokesman Maj. Dennis Brooks said. That brought to about 140 thus far the number of American civilians removed for transfer to Cyprus. Lebanon's embattled Christian presi dent, the U.S.-supported Amin Gemayel, remained out of sight Thursday. Gemayel, whose Moslerri-Christiair Cabinet resigned last weekend, is trying to patch together a new "national coali tion" government. But his Syrian-backed Lebanese enemies demand that he resign. Gemayel's position suffered a major blow early this week when Shiite Moslem and Druse militiamen took control of west Beirut, driving out army troops and Christian militiamen. Thousands of army soldiers have defected to Gemayel's op ponents. Along the "Green Line" separating Moslem west from Christian east Beirut, sporadic small arms and shell fire was heard Thursday. Local radio reports said army troops also clashed with militiamen in the port area and the Shiite-populated southern suburbs. As night fell Thursday, Christian neighborhoods in east Beirut came under sustained bombardment, apparently from artillerymen in Syrian-occupied Druse areas. Artillery of the Lebanese army and Christian militia pounded population centers in the Druse-controlled hills southeast of the city and in Shiite suburbs, the Druse-controlled radio said. The Christian militia is an arm of the right-wing Phalange Party, headed by the president's father, Pierre Gemayel. The 6th Fleet destroyer Moosbrugger, in response to the shelling of east Beirut, fired its five-inch guns, Brooks said. President Reagan, in a policy statement Tuesday announcing that the 1,400 U.S. Marines in Beirut would be withdrawn in the coming weeks, also said 6th Fleet ships would retaliate against anyone .firing on Beirut "from parts of Lebanon controlled by Syria." On Wednesday, the battleship New Jersey and destroyer Caron hammered military targets in Syrian-controlled areas in a half-day-long barrage. Lebanese government sources said both Druse and Syrian military positions were destroyed. But on Thursday, as uneasiness mounted in U.S. Congress over the ex panded American role in the Lebanese . conflict, Speakes restated the U.S. policy on use of the 6th Fleet guns. By TOM CONLON Staff Writer Second in a series on candidates for governor. Education, economy, environment agriculture, adequate transportation, housing and hiring are areas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Robert L. Han non plans to stress if elected governor. "I propose to raise teacher's salaries at the entry level to $20,000 a year," Han non said in a recent interview. "And in crease salaries 15-20 percent across the board for all other public school teachers." I would do this by increasing taxes on alcohol to cover the costs." Hannon did not quote an increase figure, but said he would study the proposal and prepare plan. Hannon, 68, is a retired educator who lives in Greensboro. "I also propose a clean environment one where water, soil and air are free of pollution and where hazardous wastes are properly disposed of," he said. Economy and economic growth are important issues affecting the state, and Hannon said he intended to recruit new industries to the state that would provide jobs for all people. "It is important that jobs be offered to all citizens free of racial and sexual discrimination," he said. "That will be my major concern." Hannon expressed dissatisfaction over U.S. Secretary of Agriculture John Block's policies, which.he said, have been forcing farmers off their land. "I want to make sure the economic conditions of farmers are improved when I am gover nor," he said. "We must also have adequate transportation facilities in this state," he said. "Eastern North Carolina has not been able to get economic growth like it should because the highways have not been properly developed. The rest of the state also needs better roads to develop industry proportionately throughout the state." Hannon said that there was a need for more housing to accommodate people of all income groups but that all such hous ing would have to be available without prejudices or violations to the Fair Hous ing Act. "Many people are excluded from housing for discriminatory reasons," he said. "There needs to be a solid enforce- Winstead seeks elections delay A Robert L Hannon ment of the Fair Housing Act, as well as a greater availability of housing. This should be developed in cooperation with the federal government and private in dustry." A hiring program that would be free of race and sex discrimination and would in- elude the elderly, handicapped, poor and other members of society is what Hannon calls a pressing need in North Carolina. See HANNON on page 2 By MARK STINNEFORD Staff Writer Frank Winstead, a candidate for four student offices, has asked the Student Supreme Court to delay campuswide elections set for Tuesday, contending that The Daily Tar Heel has not provided adequate coverage of his campaigns. Winstead is also seeking an injunction to prevent the DTH from spending student fees until the dispute is resolved. Student Supreme Court Chief Justice J.B. Kelly said he would attempt to convene the court today to consider Winstead's complaint. After reviewing the Student Code, Kelly said he believed the court had the power to delay the election, but he said he doubted the court could prevent the newspaper from spending student fees before the conclusion of the case. Winstead, a junior from Rocky Mount, is running for Stu dent Body President, Residence Hall Association president, Carolina Athletic Association president and DTH editor. Winstead has requested that the DTH run four separate front-page stories announcing his candidacies. DTH Editor Kerry DeRochi accepted a proposal from Elections Board Chairman Andy Sutherland to run an extended front-page story on Winstead, outlining his platforms for the four offices, but Winstead rejected Sutherland's proposal. "Who screwed up?" Winstead asked In an interview Thurs day. "If the election is delayed, it is the DTHs fault, not mine. "I just want what the other candidates have been given. I'd be satisfied with equal coverage." .'. The Elections Board rejected Winstead's complaint Monday, ruling that his campaign announcements could be adequately covered in a single story. The board ruled that Winstead was "a single candidate seeking four offices." "We will hold the election as scheduled on Feb. 14 unless we receive an order by the Supreme Court to suspend it," Sutherland said. "I will do my job to produce a fair and objec tive, legally defensible election." The complaint alleges that Sutherland did not live up to his duty to mediate the dispute between Winstead and the newspaper. "(Sutherland's) attempts at mediation were unreasonable, ineffectual and inconclusive," the complaint states. "No opportunity for Defendant Winstead to reply to The Daily Tar Heel actions has been provided as required by law." Sutherland said Winstead simply refused to accept the results of the mediation. "In my opinion, I gave him adequate, opportunity to respond," Sutherland said. "He chose to reject the compromise (of a single extended story), maintaining his right to four separate declarations of candidacy." Winstead said in Thursday's interview the DTH was being in consistent in its coverage. While .the paper has offered him only one announcement story, it has allowed him to respond two separate times on the editorial page to written questions the newspaper submits to all candidates. DeRochi said the front-page announcement and the editorial page questions and answers served different purposes. "For the back page, we ask the questions, we solicit the infor mation," she said. "The candidate announcements are a See WINSTEAD on page 3 Editor candidates discuss back page By J1MZOOK Staff Writer Possible solutions to problems on the editorial page of The Daily Tar Heel were discussed by candidates for DTH editor Thursday during forums sponsored by the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council and Scott Residence College. The forum, jointly spon sored by the . Carolina Gay Association, Association of Women Students, and ECOS, was canceled because of low. attendance. '84 sl(Bc4Ioinis "It's my personal opinion that editorials begin on the front page and continue onto the back page," said Frank Winstead, a candidate for four offices. He said if he is elected, the DTH would not have an editorial policy. John Conway said he thought there had been "an adversarial role formed between The Daily Tar Heel and the Campus Governing Council," something he would strive to alleviate if elected. When asked to cite specific examples of irre sponsibility in editorials, Jeff Hiday recalled two instances. "The Padraic Baxter letter on the Homecoming Queen was one," he said. "I think that students weren't clear about where that was coming from. Also, at least one Cen tral America editorial." Christine Manuel said: "I think that the editorial policy toward President Reagan has been rather predictable this year." CAA presidential candidates Mark Barnhill, Jeff Byrd, Will Conner, Jennie Edmundson and Frank" Winstead discussed their plans to im prove the CAA. For homecoming, Barnhill said he would have a pig pickin' and band. On Saturday night, he would plan to have a formal dance for students in Woollen Gym. "My main proposal for homecoming is to' promote the unification of the town, faculty and students," Byrd said. Edmundson said she hadN been frustrated by the lack of . information available to students about athletic programs on campus. "I propose a paper with anything that could be classified as exercise on this campus," she said. Concerning seats in the Student Activities Center, all the candidates said it would be dif ficult for students to get seats behind the Carolina bench because alumni already had been promised them. Edmundson said students had to show they contributed to the game. "What I'd like to see is a silent period during one of the games, from the 10-minute mark to the 5-minute mark, and see how loud the alumni are," she said. Conner said he would like homecoming to be centered around a charity next year. All seven candidates for student body presi dent at the IFCPanhellenic forum stressed the importance of a good relationship between the University and the town. Greg Hecht said an issue of importance to Greeks was the relationship between them and the Chapel Hill Town Council, citing as an ex ample the proposed thoroughfare that would run through the Kappa Alpha house. Other fraternities might have found that humorous, he said, but it was a decision with far-reaching im plications. The other candidates addressed their wil lingness to work with the IFC and Panhellenic Council in the future and said they would try to ease strained relations between the groups and the Town of Chapel Hill. Students Effectively Establishing a Democratic System announced Thursday its en dorsement of Christine Manuel for Daily Tar Heel editor. A representative of the group said Manuel was chosen because of her promise to report rapes and assaults on campus, to increase coverage of women's sports and to return to publishing the Campus Calendar daily, which would make it easier for progressive groups to announce spontaneous protests of national events.
