Hubbard and his Tar Heel teammates had just beaten Georgia Tech, 9-4, for a five-game sweep of the ACC and UNC's third consecutive ACC tournament championship. "Everyone in the ACC was out to get us," Hubbard said. "Nobody wants us to win, which made it so much more fun to win this tourney in five straight games." Coach Mike Roberts said that it was the leadership of North Carolina's seniors that brought the Tar Heels their success. "Our winning mental attitude came from the seniors," Roberts said. "They helped our younger players play better because of their attitude. That's why I'm most pleased for them." Hubbard was on base 15 times during the four-day affair, while senior second baseman Mitch McCleney held up the middle of the infield with his heady play and timely hitting. But perhaps the most inspiring senior was Todd Wilkinson, who hit .471, with four home runs and 10 RBIs, earning himself distinction as the tourney's Most Valuable Player. "This feels super," the teary-eyed Wilkinson said. "We're on top of the ACC right now, and it's extra special because I'm a senior. I didn't want to lose the last ACC game I ever played in.

"It feels so good. All those hours of hard work have finally paid off." McCleney was just as elated. "Nobody thought we could do it," he said. "They said we couldn't win it when they took it (the tournament) away from Boshamer Stadium and that we didn't have enough pitching. But we hung together as a team. This is just the greatest bunch of guys in the world." While Roberts gave a lot of credit to his -three seniors, he hurried to corrtpliment "the rest of this squad that finished at 42-9. "This was a total team effort," Roberts said. "People who didn't play a major role in the ACC games in the regular season ending up playing major roles in the tourney." Roberts pointed to the pitching perfor mances turned in by freshmen Ken Turner and Doug Torborg and sophomore Steve McGuire, quieting the skeptics who had accused UNC of having a two-man pitching staff. Turner pitched eight innings and struck out 10 Wake Forest batters in a tourney opening 13-2 victory. After Scott Bankhead struck out 14 batters in a 4-0 win over Maryland and Roger Williams survived N.C. State, 13-12 Friday night, UNC handicapped housing policy may lead to creation of "ghettos" By STEVE FERGUSON Assistant University Editor Only two of the 21 North Campus dormitories are accessible to mobility im paired students, and the situation may be creating a "handicapped ghetto," accord ing to some mobility impaired students. However, UNC administration officials said making more North Campus dormi tories accessible to handicapped students would be expensive and difficult consider ing the age and construction of the buildings. Grimes and Ruffin are the two dormi tories with access ramps, and since there are no elevators, only the first floors are open to mobility impaired students. "1 think in Grimes and Ruffin it could potentially become a ghetto," said Grimes resident Gregory Capps, a junior psychology major who is confined to a wheelchair. "I think they need to work on getting more dorms available, especially for handicapped students in wheelchairs." Russell Perry, associate director of operations for University Housing and chairman of an ad hoc committee on handicapped housing concerns, said the North Campus situation was a form of discrimination. "In a degree it is (discrimination)," Perry said, "but to make buildings on North Campus accessible, we would have to make tremendous expenditures." If the money were available to build the facilities, University Housing would be willing to do it, he said. Most North Cam pus dormitories were built in the 1800s or early 1900s without the handicapped in mind, he added. "I think that the handicapped students are clustered together," said Laura Thomas, coordinator for handicapped stu dent services. "I won't disagree with the term (handicapped ghetto)." ( imvrdv three mobility in. paired The function of socialism is to raise suffering to a higher do it. But we hung Mitch McCleney McGuire put in his part. McGuire pitched six-plus innings Saturday getting a 7-6 win over Clemson and knocking the Tigers out of the tournament. The win marked McGuire's first ACC win since he had two arm operations over the last three years. "He's proved that his arm is fully recovered," pitching coach Howard Mc Cullough said later. "There were a lot of times of agony for him over those two years, but he did a great job today." On Saturday night against Georgia Tech, freshman.Torborg drew the starting assignment in the championship game. People in the press box were questioning Torborg's presence on the mound after the first two Yellow Jacket hitters in the first inning had slammed home runs for a 2-1 Tech lead. But Torborg settled down, allowing nothing after that and gaining the victory in five innings of work. But there were more heroes than that. Like reliever Gordon Douglas, who pick ed up three saves in the tournament, in cluding two on Saturday. With the tying run on third base and one out in the ninth inning against Clemson Saturday, Douglas struck out the next two Tigers for a 7-6 win. Later that night, he com bined with Bob Mulligan to shut down Georgia Tech after Torborg was finished. students live in Grimes, three in Ruffin and four in Craige. The best alternative for making more spaces available to handicapped students is in South Campus dormitories, according to Wayne Kuncl, director of University Housing. Still, funding is a problem, he said. "The only sources of money we have at the time are the students' rent dollar," said Kuncl. "We're looking to see if we can get funds from other sources. South Campus is the most cost effective option we have right now." The ad hoc committee agreed with Kuncl about the importance of improving South Campus availability. "A student in a wheelchair can visit someone in Hinton James,' Craig, Ehr inghaus or Morrison, but they can't live there," Thomas said. The only exceptions are two suites in Craige and one in Mor rison that have had bathrooms adapted to be wheelchair accessible, Thomas said. According to Perry, the housing office adapts the room to the particular student's handicap. "We work with each handicap they have, and customize the room to help the student," Perry said. "I support the ad hoc committee's deci sion to go to South Campus," said Thomas. According to the committee's study, Ehringhaus is the best alternative for new access suites. Nancy Brown Brewer, a senior history major, lives in Craig and is mobility im paired. "I realize (the clustering) exists," she said, "but being on the committee, I have a little better understanding of why it exists. For the last two or three years, the North Carolina legislature has made zero dollars available for barrier removal." Measures have been taken to alleviate the problem, Brewer said. The new dormi tory under construction will be fully ac cessible, and a new system will be made to the' tourney title. DTH C'idites Lfil'orO Mulligan had picked up a save in Friday night's slugfest with N.C. State. Starter Roger Williams pitched his heart out in the 13-12 win over the Wolfpack. The sophomore from Greenville threw 166 pitches and left after two were out in the seventh inning, ahead 13-10. Asked why he kept Williams in the game for so long, Roberts said, "because Roger has a lot of intestinal fortitude he's a winner. And you don't pull win ners out of a big game quick." B.J. Surhoff, who had a disappointing .227 average in the tourney despite hitting the ball hard, nonetheless stole five bases and also clubbed a crucial three-run homer in the N.C. State victory, putting North Carolina into an 8-6 lead. Wilkinson followed that three batters later with a two-run job to put UNC up 10-6. "That was one of the greatest college games I've ever been in," Wilkinson said later. "You can't really say State lost. It was just a heck of a game." Walt Weiss was the batting hero of the Saturday afternoon game. Weiss belted a three-run home run batting lefthanded to give North Carolina a 6-2 lead in the fourth, then turned around and hit a solo home run from the right side to give the Tar Heels a 7-5 lead in the 7-6 win. Saturday night, Scott Johnson went four-for-five with a home run and Devy Bell hit a towering solo home run to pace See BASEBALL on page 5 available for the mobility impaired, she said. Brewer agreed the North Campus situa tion was a problem. "While I admit that it's bad, I admit it's ghettoization, it's just something that you have to be patient with," she said. Wheelchair students should have the option of being in North Campus if they so desire, Capps said. "Some students are ' just not going to want to live down there (on South Campus)," he said. According to Perry, no changes are planned for North Campus "unless we get a tremendous influx of handicapped students. Everything on South Campus is available to us." According to a committee study, the best North Campus dormitories to adapt to mobility impaired students would be Manly and Mangum, if the money becomes available, Perry said. They would be the most practical options because mobility impaired students wouldn't have to cross the street to get to most University buildings, he said. The estimated cost would be $33,000. "Carolina is becoming the place to go if you're disabled," Brewer said, because the University has the only handicapped ser vices office in the 16-carnpus UNC system. "We're having a higher number of handi capped people coming here, and the University did not look ahead when they made Grimes and Ruffin accessible." With the work of the committee and the cooperation of the administration, UNC is now taking positive steps toward making more rooms available to mobility impaired students, Brewer said. "1 think they're doing a lot, but it's so new to so many people," she said. Kuncl said his concern as director of housing is that space be accessible to anyone who comes to UNC, and that they not be hindered by housing restrictions. Votes to raise By STEVE FERGUSON Assistant University Kditur The UNC Board of Trustees voted unanimously Friday to forbid the use of mopeds or any sort of motorized vehicle on campus sidewalks, landscapes or grass. UNC officials are asking for voluntary compliance with the decision until it takes effect on July 1 . Vice Chancellor Farris Womack's traf fic and parking advisory committee recommended in March that all motorized vehicles be banned on campus. The com mittee has been studying the problem since fall of 1982. Violators can get a $60 maximum fine. Charles Antle, ex-officio committee member, said in March that enforcement would be a difficulty. "What do you do if a campus police of ficer sees somebody what does he do, run after them?" Antle said. A lot of warning tickets will be given out before strict enforcement begins, he said. "We don't want to discourage people to use them," Antle said last month. "Many what we're trying to do is keep them off the sidewalks." The committee is considering the addi tion of bicycle racks to the outer perimeter of the campus, for students who ride mopeds to campus but won't be allowed to ride them on campus grounds, Antle said. The committee's recommendation did not include bicycles, he said. The ROT also passed several other Too many grad students accepted by UNC's English department, student says By RAY JONES Staff Writer A graduate student in English has charged that because too many students are admitted into the graduate program, fewer necessary teaching assistantships are available for them. But the director of composition in the English department said the cuts were in line with the estab lished guidelines. Bill Gargan, who has been working toward his doctorate in English, said he had to take this past year off to find work after he was not reappointed to a teaching assistantship. "That salary is support as you work for the Ph.D.," he said. "And there aren't many of us who can go to school here without it." Gargan said the problem is that the department is admitting too many people into the program and therefore fewer stu dents can get TA positions. "They have failed to recognize overadmission, even in the face of an abysmal job market. It's just to fill graduate classes," he said. Connie Eble, director of graduate studies, suggested there could have been too many students admitted. "But it's be cause of the size of our program that we can offer the courses we do," she said. "We are not admitting unqualified peo ple. We're offering 20 graduate courses a semester, and very few schools around the country can offer this diversity." According to Erika Lindemann, direc tor of composition and the freshman English program, the number of teaching assistantships awarded each year depends on the size of the budget the department expects to have and how many freshmen enroll the following fall semester. Lindemann said she set the policy on TA selection. She said the policy is to consider the quality of the graduate's work, quality of teaching, student evalua tions, normal progress toward the degree, classroom observations and the number of sections already taught. Gargan said, "the question is, what does the English department owe graduate students? TAs give them cheaper teaching. Look at what they save compared to paying a professor to teach a section." Gargan also said faculty members didn't want to teach English 1 and 2. "We aren't getting job security or job placement," he said. Eble said, "What the department owes grads is a good education. They're tuition-paying people. We do not owe them a teaching assistantship." The department gcs graduate students training and teaching experience," she said. "1 know it's a pitiful stipend," she added. "I'd like to see them get paid more. I'd like to see professors get paid more. I'd like to see scholarships pay more." level. Norman Mailer parking fees amendments to the UNC parking and traf fic ordinance, including raised costs for parking permits. Permits for lots with gates will cost $132 per year, up from $96. The price of all other permits will increase $1 per month. Parking lots behind Hill Hall and on each side of Bynum Hall will be gated next year, according to the new ordinance. Seven hundred parking spaces which will be created upon completion of the Student Activities Center will be reserved for Ram's Club parking on football Satur days. Two hundred spaces at McCauley Street lot which were being used for the Ram's Club will be opened up again for, general use. The McCauley Street lot was given to the Ram's Club several years ago. The BOT also agreed to raise the price of parking at the N.C. Memorial Hospital parking deck. Rates will increase from 35 cents to 45 cents an hour. The maximum cost per day will be $4, up from $2. Residents of Odum Village who own more than one car will now be required to park the extra cars in the overflow lots at the Branson Street extension and in the dirt lot adjacent to 407 Mason Farm Road. Overflow permits will be required and may be obtained from the manager's office at Odum Village. Student Body President Paul Parker was inducted Friday as a member of the Board of Trustees, and former President Kevin Monroe was congratulated for his service to the board. Eble stressed that graduate students must be responsible enough to handle all the requirements. "The program is long," she said. "It is arduous. True, we need to make changes so they can go through the program more quickly. Maybe we should change our philosophy (from helping a lot of people a little to helping a few people a lot). Maybe we should hack the program by half. But I don't think that's going to solve the prob lem." 'What the depart ment owes grads is a good education. They 're tuition-paying people. We do not owe them a teaching assistantship. Connie Eble Lindemann emphasized that the department does no recruiting and warns students in the beginning about the job market. "Eble personally sits down with all of them and tells them what the job market is like," she said. "These people were given the choice of .whether to come here or not," Eble said. "1 don't encourage people to pursue a doctorate in English. I'd love to have the money to support everyone, but we just can't do it." Gargan suggested the admissions policy be more directly tied to the number of sections available for TAs, and they should admit no more graduates than there are teaching positions to see them through the entire program. "The policy is mismanagement," he said. "I was led to believe that I would have some teaching to see me through my degree, and now I don't. That policy has been set by administrators who don't look at the situations of the students. The faculty has just not monitored the ad ministrative situation. It's an abdication of responsibility." Lindemann called the charge unfair and hurtful. "I don't think that's true, and I think the faculty would be angry to hear that," she said. Concerning the belief that teaching assistantships were supposed to carry a student through his degree, Lindemann said, "1 know that's not the case. There's no place anywhere that says you're guaranteed support. We have guidelines outlining criteria for reappointment to an assistantship. This year's group has had two years' warning as to what those criteria are. "You read the guidelines or you don't," she said. "We provide them so the graduate students will know what they are." If a student hasa grievance," Lindemann suggested he file an appeal.
