Goodbye Ft Lauderdale
Hello Chapel Hill weather.
Today's breezy 72 high won't
beat the beach temperatures
experienced by many during
Spring Break '85. A 40 percent
chance of rain tonight may really
put a damper on things.

ATLANTA Bobby Cremins
draped one of The Omni's basketball
nets over himself, and smiled for the
cameras. "Hold that," the photo
graphers told him.
"Hey, buddy, get over here," Cremins
beamed as he called to his center, Yvon
Joseph, also sporting a net over the
shoulders. And then Cremins, the
transplanted Yankee-turned- miracle
worker, struck a pose with Joseph, the
bulksome one they call the Haitian
Sensation. "My buddy," Cremins said
as the cameras flashed.
His buddy, indeed.
His buddy who, along with one of
the nation's top backcourts and a
drastically improved front line, made
every rebound, every foul and every
turnover count in the final minutes to
climax a dramatic Tech rebuilding
program with an equally dramatic 57
54 victory over North Carolina's Tar
Heels Sunday for the ACC
championship.
The Yellow Jackets trailed the Tar
Heels for 39 minutes, but it was
persistence in a pressure defense and a
key Joseph interception in the final 60
seconds that deprived UNC of its 10th
tournament title, and gave Georgia
Tech its first.

Gsoitia Tech's Yvcn Joseph edebrstss his tssm's win over fhs Tar Hoc!s.
"I wish this was the NCAA tourna
ment, Cremins said. "I'm so happy. So
proud.
"I feel like we've accomplished
something that is very difficult to do.
Athletics is such an important part of
my life and when something like this
happens it really brings out the best in
athletics and college basketball to see
a young group of men perform and fight
like that."
In a game that was as physical as
any in a three-day tournament that was
as grueling as any of its predecessors,
UNC tended to control the pace and
the boards most of the way. But in the
late going, Tech took advantage of
second-chance opportunities and
methodically closed the gap.
With the score tied at 50 and 52
seconds remaining, UNC forward Joe
Wolf tossed a short lob to center Brad
Daugherty. But the Tech defense, which
had been shutting off the inside lanes
most of the second half, collapsed on
Daugherty. Joseph stepped in front of
Daugherty and snared the pass. Wolf
fouled and Joseph hit the first of two
free throws. His second effort was long,
but forward John Salley, whose second
effort rebound and follow shot had tied
the game 24 seconds earlier, pulled
down this board. Tech delayed until
point guard Mark Price drove the lane
with 22 seconds and was fouled by
UNC's Warren Martin.
He converted both free throws, and
UNC's subsequent comeback efforts
failed. Price, the tournament's Most
Valuable Player, scored 16 points and
added three assists and three steals
Sunday. He had 50 points (including
20-20 on free throws) plus seven steals
and 16 assists over the three days.
"I really can't believe this, we're ACC
champs," Price said among the throngs
of media types on The Omni floor.
Price canned two more free throws
with eight seconds remaining and Tech
ahead, 53-52, to seal the victory.
The Yellow Jackets wont have to
travel anywhere for the NCAA tour
nament at least not this week. Tech
will host the East Regional first round
Friday, opening against Mercer. Tech
is now 24-7 overall and finished 12-5
in conference games. With a win, Tech
will play the Syracuse-DePaul winner
Sunday.
The Tar Heels, meanwhile, drop to
24-8 overall and will travel to South
Bend, Indiana, on Thursday to face
Middle Tennessee State in the opening
round of the Southeast Regional. The
winner of that game will play the Notre
Dame-Oregon State winner Saturday.
Initially, North Carolina controlled
the game, seizing a 14-3 lead six minutes
into the game as the tempo was furious.
Guards Kenny Smith and Steve Hale
had little difficulty getting the ball inside
to UNC's big front line, which was
posting up well down low. But the Tar
Heels suffered from the turnover bug,
something they never could shake off
during the tournament.
During one stretch early in the second
half, UNC turned the ball over on five
of seven possessions and got off only
one shot. Only 38 percent field goal
shooting by Tech kept the Tar Heels
in front. Eventually, turnovers became
the focal point of the game, as UNC
missed several opportunities to extend
its lead beyond six to eight points: UNC
had 21 miscues on the day and 45 for
the tournament.
"Late in the second half, when
Carolina got up on us, we got in a
huddle and said now we've got to go
for it," Price said. "And we did it."
Wolf connected on an eight-foot
hook from the baseline with 7:57 to go
to give UNC a 44-40 lead, but the Tar
Heels could manage only one more field
goal until Kenny Smith put up a
desperation jumper with 14 seconds.
"We weren't getting the shots, and
they were getting the offensive boards,"
Wolf said of the Tar Heels' play down
the stretch. "We were having trouble
moving the ball. We weren't setting the
screens and getting guys open."
Daugherty; who scored 16 points and
had eight rebounds, said patience was
the key. "Sometimes we're trying to
create things that aren't there. That's
because we're so hungry to get the ball
and score."
Daugherty said the pass he was to
receive in the final minute from Wolf
was not bad, and the failure to connect
was the result of Joseph's defense. "I
was open," he said. "It just closed off.
Joseph backed up pretty good and
caught the ball over the top of me. He
saw the play coming and he just stepped
in fronfof me."
Tech was remarkable in many ways.
The Yellow Jackets came into the game
with only eight healthy players, and only
six with any degree of experience.
Starting forward Duane Ferrell went
down with a torn ligament in his right
knee early against Virginia on Friday,
and is doubtful for the NCAA tour-,
nament. Moreover, guard Bruce Dal
rymple, who was dynamic throughout
the tournament (43 points, 19 rebounds,
14 assists, 1 1 steals), picked up his
fourth personal foul with 12:39 to play.
"Bruce had a bad first half," Cremins
said. "There was something wrong. He
was tired. I told him at half he was my
MVP. He played two of the most
fantastic games I've seen in a long time

In recent criticising of higher educa
tion, Education Secretary William
Bennett has said students were being
"ripped off" at colleges and universities.
But Samuel R. Williamson, Jr.,
provost and dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences, said that might be true
at some schools but not all of them.
Bennett took a little bit of evidence and
applied it to a large amount of univer
sities, Williamson said on the March
4 broadcast of "N.C. People."
"The quality of education in America
is pretty good," he said, adding that it
was important that qualified people
were teaching in classes.
Recent curriculum changes at the
University already address some of the
criticisms raised in national reports,
Williamson said. The curriculum
changes at UNC began in the 1970s,
he said.
In the mid-1970s, faculty members
looked at the nature of the undergrad
uate education program at UNC. In
JBOG opposes proposed tuition increase
By KAREN YOUNGBLOOD
Staff Writer
The UNC Board of Governors met Friday to discuss Gov.
Jim Martin's proposed 10 percent tuition increase and to
establish a committee to study the relationship between
athletic admissions and academics.
UNC President William C. Friday and other board
members criticized the proposed increase and began looking
at ways to show state legislators their discontent.
Friday defended low tuition costs, saying any increase
would prohibit many people from attending school because
of financial problems.
"The University should never be closed to young men and
women who have the aptitude and motivation for college
study simply because they don't have the means to pay."
Friday said.
Friday cited the tuition increase proposal, as well as
President Reagan's proposed financial aid cuts and increasing
student fees and housing, fee and book costs as three main
factors that would burden students.
In-state tuition has increased 25 percent since 1981, Friday
said, and to increase tuition an additional 10 percent would
hurt many students financially.
Friday said there were over 3000 students in Chapel Hill
alone whose families incomes were less than $15,000. To
ask them to pay more in tuition costs would deny many
of them the benefit of going to college, he said.
The board met in an executive session to make a formal

1978, a committee of faculty and
students was formed to look at the
problems of the undergraduate curric
ulum. In February 1981, the UNC
Faculty Council voted unanimously to
adopt a new program in general
education. The new program would
bring structure and pattern flexibility
into the undergraduate program, Wil
liamson said.
"We saw problems and took steps to
solve them," he said.
One area in which Bennett has been
particularly critical is the humanities,
Williamson said.
The undergraduate curriculum
initiated in 1981 at UNC brought the
humanities back into focus, Williamson
said. "That wasn't the original purpose
of the committee," he said, "but that's
the way it fell out."
All undergraduates now have new
language requirements and are exposed
to classes that make them aware of the
world before the 1700s. The aesthetic,
literature, fine arts and philosophical
perspectives that undergraduates must
fulfill also expose students to the
humanities.

A favorable reaction greets the UNC
CH Drug and Alcohol Outreach Pro
gram as it opens its doors today in Suite
B of the Carolina Union.
Staffed by doctors and trained peer
counselors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday through Friday, the program'
s future is very optimistic, according to
Dorothy Bernholz, director of Student
Legal Services, and adviser to the
outreach program.
"(At SLS) we see the fallout from
the alcohol use on campus," Bernholz
said, referring to SLS involvement with
students charged with driving while
impaired. "Students will benefit from
having a service such as (the Outreach
Program) on campus."
Tim Slaven, a doctor at Orange-Person-Chatham
Mental Health Center
who has volunteered time to the
Program sees a plus in the student
organized aspect of the center. Since it
is a grass roots effort by two students,
Slaven feels that the program reflects
the view of the student body and will
be successful
"If the program had more formal
characteristics it may be less successful,
because students would not use it,"
Slaven said.
"Alcoholism is stigmatized in this
country," he said. "It is perceived as a
weakness and some people are not
willing to get help from formal outlets
because it can be embarrassing."
Sue Gray, director of Student Health
Education agrees with Slaven's view,
but with some reservations.
"If a student wants help dealing with
an alcohol problem, he goes to someone
his own age, a friend or a peer," she
said. "The center offers more people
willing to talk to them."
It's good that the center is student
directed, Gray said, but the greatest
concern is to provide high-quality
treatment.
"The worst thing that could happenis
for an 'us and them' situation to develop
between the program and Student
Health Services, Gray said. "It would
be better to tie the program in with SHS
to provide continuity. Both organiza
tions must be supportive of each other."
Student Body President Patricia
Wallace said she considered the out
reach program a "very needed facility."
The Executive Branch of student
government has raised almost $300
from a doughnut sale, some of which
will go towards telephone expenses,
office supplies and publicity for the
program.
Thomas Mills, who has been devel
oping the program for four months with
his brother Fetzer Mills, said "Patricia
helped us, out a great deal on this one.
Somehow I cannot see alcoholics and
drug addicts sitting around selling
doughnuts."
For additional funding the outreach
program will go through the Campus
Governing Council budget process like
any other campus organization.

Rerun (who requested that only his nickname
be used because he works for the University)
spends most of the eight hours of his night job
buffing the floors of Davis Library in an effort
to support his family.
During the day he tries to sleep and take care
of his two young children while his wife works
as a waitress and attends Durham Technical
College. He began working for the University
for $7,500 per year and though his salary is now
over $9,000, he says it is still a constant struggle
to make ends meet.
"I cant save none," he said. "By the time two
weeks are up, those bills are staring me in the
face. You have to decide what is and what isnt
important and what has to be paid for first."
Rerun said that all the employees he works
with are working two jobs to survive, even those
who are unmarried.
Rerun is one of many low-income residents
F-poor Ib&ttHIl wMn Mgh cost off IMng
of Chapel Hill, and one of many employed by
the University.
"Close to half of my clients work; but they
work at minimum wage jobs," Jacqueline Gist,
of the Inter-Faith Council for Social Service,
said. "And you cant afford to buy anything in
this town on minimum wage."
The two lowest paid groups employed by the
University have income below the poverty level,
Gist said.
"The concern weVe had is the same that the
Inter-Faith Council has," said Jack Gunnells,
personnel director of the University's personnel
department. "The key thing we're concerned
about is that people in those lower salary grades
are not being paid at the level to maintain a
decent lifestyle."
Gunnells said that Chapel Hill is above the
national average in cost-of-living and has high
taxes and transportation problems. The lowest
salary grade in Chapel Hill is too low for the
cost-of-living, he said.
Last year the North Carolina legislature passed
a resolution which allowed agencies to use certain
funds to raise the pay of those in the lowest
salary grade, Gunnells said. But by all govern
ment definitions, their incomes are still below
poverty level.
Gist said that adequate housing is a difficult
problem for low-income families in the Chapel
Hill area.
"Students get all the cheap housing because
they (landlords) would rather rent to students
than poor people," she said.
L.J. Barrett of the Chapel Hill Housing
Authority said that with the University unable
to meet student housing needs, housing will
remain competitive.
"I think a lot of it is just purely economical,"
Barrett said. "It is very easy to find available
renters from the student population here because
students can pool their resources and I dont
think students demand the same kinds or as much
service from landlords."
Chanel Hill does have some publicly assisted
housing for low-income families, but families
usually have to wait two years for a unit, Barrett
said. People on a waiting list often have to live
in sub-standard housing, he said.
Rerun said that in one trailer in which he and
his wife rented, the floors were caving in, there
was no hot water, and their baby became ill from
the drinking water.
Their next home was not a great improvement.
Water leaked from the bathroom toilet and the
family had to cope with mice and roaches.
Rerun and his wife consider themselves
fortunate to have found the place where they
now live, even though the well pump needs repair
and their water supply is limited.
"It's hard to find good housing because the
rent is too high," Rerun's wife said. "If you want
to live cheap, youVe got to go to Hillsborough
or someplace else outside of Chapel Hill."
Students are tisuallv unaware of the problems
of the townspeople, according to many who work
with the social organizations in the area.
"For students, everything stops past Franklin
Street," a student volunteer at the Inter-Faith
Council's community kitchen in Carrboro said.
"They think Chapel Hill is made up of their
dorms, the classrooms, Franklin Street and that's
it."
Gist, who works with the council's overnight
shelter, said that students are only dimly aware
of the poor of Chapel Hill and their problems.
"But they're working in your cafeteria,
scrubbing your floors, collecting your garbage.
They're all around you on the campus," she said.
Gist said that a lot of townspeople do care
about the poor in Chapel Hill. She said that
there are 90 volunteers who work at the shelter
all night, and though some students do help, the
shelter could use a lot more help from students.
' "This lack of awareness is not necessarily a
failing on the students part," Dean File,
