EOG touiglhees standards for UN G -system applicants
By TERESA KRIEGSMAN
Staff Writer
With the upgrading of entrance
requirements, many North Carolina
high school seniors will have to take
more college preparatory courses to
be admitted to UNC-system schools.
In the past, each campus has set
its own minimum admission stan
dards, and the only common require
ment for prospective students was a
high school diploma or its equiva
lent, according to UNC officials. The
new policy ensures that system-wide
standards will be met.

Maryland's Derrick Lewis gave
his teammates a mission impossible
Thursday night before the Terrapins
were blown out 98-65 by UNC in
the Smith Center.
MI told them, 'We're undefeated
here, " Lewis said. "Let's keep it that
way."
There was about as much chance
of that happening as there was of
the Cashier's Office staying open
past 3:30 p.m. UNC dominated
inside with J.R. Reid, outside with
Kenny Smith and Jeff Lebo and
everywhere in between with everyone
else as they outclasssed a mis
matched Maryland team.
The win sets up a showdown for
UNC in Duke's Cameron Stadium
Saturday against the Blue Devils,
who have won 22 straight games at
home since a loss to North Carolina
two years ago. Joe Wolf, in street
clothes Thursday, should be ready
to play at least sparingly against
Duke.
Reid gave the crowd of 20,800 the
most chances to ooh and aah against
Maryland with his career-high 19
points, most on turnaround jumpers
and power moves against Lewis, the
league's premier shot-blocker. While
Lewis held his own with a couple
of blocks, he came away awed by
; the freshman.
"J.R. has lived up to everything
people have said about him," he said.
"I wish we had someone else like him
on our team."
Reid was less impressed with
himself. "I was just lucky tonight to
be in a good position on offense and
get good passing down low from the
guards," he said.
The Maryland squad com
posed of no seniors, two juniors and
a host of freshmen and sophomores
held up for the game's first 10
minutes but then were unceremon
iously buried. "It's not often that a
.team can come in and beat Carol
ina," said first-year Maryland coach
Bob Wade, who saw his team drop
to 3-3. "Maryland did it last year,
but that was last year."
And what a difference 10 months
make. The Terrapins, under coach
Lefty Driesell, defeated UNC twice
last season, at the Smith Center and
then in the first round of the ACC
tournament. "It feels strange without
Lefty," UNC coach Dean Smith said,

Timothy Leary, a primary
orchestrator of the psychedelic
movement of the 1960s, and Peter
Bensinger, former head of the
U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency
(DEA), will meet in UNC's
Memorial Hall Feb. 2 to debate
on the constitutionality of forced
drug testing.
The debate, sponsored by the
Carolina Union Activities Board
ForUm Committee, will cost $3
for the general public and $1 for
students.
Bensinger is adamantly
opposed to the illegal use of
drugs, saying that all Americans
have the "constitutional dutv" to
admissions regulations will become
effective in the fall of 1988. The
Board of Governors last revised the
admissions policy in 1984.
New standards compel high
school students to take four courses
in English, three in mathematics, two
in social studies and three in science.
In addition, the UNC-system recom
mends that students complete two
courses in a foreign language, and
take one course each in mathematics
and a foreign language during the
12th grade.

president for communications, said

A fire next to the roof of Woollen
Gym forced the evacuation of about
150 students Thursday afternoon,
when workers repairing the roof
accidentally ignited insulation in the
southwest corner of the gym.
No one was injured, and damage
estimates were not available Thurs
day night.
Insulation below the roof caught
fire about 4:20 p.m. Thursday as
workers were waterproofing the
gym's roof with a sealant that must
be cured with heat, said William
Smith, the foreman of the 9-member
crew repairing the roof.
"The fire from the torch just went
through to the insulation," Smith
said. "I came down and got hold of
a (Woollen Gym) maintenance
person to let me in the crawlspace,
and when I got up there I could hear
the fire." Smith said he then called
the fire department.
Chapel Hill firefighters had the
blaze mostly extinguished by about
4:40 p.m. but spent about, an hour
and a half making sure the fire was
completely out, Chapel Hill Fire
Capt. Rodney Murray said. To
double-check, firefighters enlarged a
3-foot hole burned in the roof to see
into the attic crawlspace.

President Reagan's proposed
$1,024 trillion budget for fiscal 1988
submitted to Congress Monday
spells trouble for North Carolina's
economy, according to government
officials.
Among other things, the proposed
budget calls for increases in defense,
space exploration, AIDS research,
aid to the homeless and basic
scientific research.
School lunches, food stamps,
college student loans, farm aid,
Medicare, Medicaid and veterans'
health care are among the programs
which will suffer setbacks.
"I'm dismayed by the approach
taken by Mr. Reagan in developing
his 1987 budget package, particu
larly as it affects agricultural pro
Christmas," Wiggins said.
A search committee, of which
Wiggins is chairman, has already
reviewed all 66 applications and will
invite as many as six of the applicants
to Chapel Hill for interviews by the
middle of this month, Appelbaum
said.
Serving on the committee are
students Carrie Deener, Todd Hart,
Kim Jordan, and Jeannie Mitchell,
Union Board chairperson. Profes
sors Martha N. Hardy, chairwoman
of the speech communication depart
ment, Kimball King, professor of
English, and Appelbaum complete
the committee.
Mitchell said the committee would
meet to discuss the applicants soon.
"I feel we're right at the beginning
stages," she said. "It's gone smoothly
so far."

ways to improve are:
Community colleges could
offer courses to high school
students who are permitted to
take them for college credit.
Other issues to be studied are
cooperative programming, stu
dents' tuition, fees and transpor
tation, as well as whether high
schools and community colleges
should share faculty, he said.
"Most of the time we spent tearing
out the roof," Murray said. "The fire
was out fairly quickly."
People in the gym first noticed
smoke coming through a large wall
ventilator and into the gym, said Rob
Frye III, an intramural and recrea
tional specialist at Woollen. Smoke
about the consistency of fog filled
the gym after the students were
evacuated.
Laura Morrison, a sophomore
facilities monitor at the gym, was
overseeing the basketball courts
when the fire started. "The place was
packed," she said. "There was a full
court game on every court, and
people were waiting.
"We smelled stuff burning that
smelled like caps, and we went up
to the office," she said. "They told
us they were working on the roof."
She closed the two southwest courts,
and a few minutes later she helped
clear the gym.
Other parts of the gym were not
evacuated. While firefighters extin
guished the fire, aerobics classes
continued in the rooms closest to the
fire. Students occupied hallways and
locker rooms, also.

any danger to any of those still in

Commissioner James Graham, in a
statement to the press. "He was not
looking at dealing with (North

beleaguered farmers."
Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C, the
most recent chairman of the Senate
Agricultural Committee, had no
comment about the situation.
According to Barbara Lukens, a staff
member, he hadn't looked at the
budget as of Wednesday.
James Wilde, associate professor
of economics at UNC, said the
budget increases in military spending
and decreases in education will not
help North Carolina's economy.
