Copyright 1987 The Daily Tar Heel Volume 94, Issue 125 UNC devastates Ga. Tech, 92-55, to move to No.l By SCOTT FOWLER Sports Editor If Georgia Tech had been a dog, it would have been shot for mercy's sake early in the second half. As it was, the Yellow Jackets had to blindly poke along Saturday night in the Smith Center, as UNC played without point guard Kenny Smith and still won by 37 points. Domination is too mild a word for what happened, when North Carolina assured itself a No. 1 ranking in every poll from the AP to the Henderson Street Bar by ravaging the Yellow Jackets, 92-55. The win, UNC's 1 5th in a row, raised the Tar Heels' slate to 6-0 in the conference and 17-1 overall. Tech fell to 1-4 and 9-7. Try "massacre" as a description of Saturday's mismatch. The Tech team won't only have to go back to the drawing board after this loss, it should have to listen to Bobby Cremins' fingernails being slowly scraped down it. "1 was embarrassed for the league, for Georgia Tech and for my friends," Cremins said. "You guys know basketball. We were blown out." Need more evidence? Tech forward Duane Ferrell, the ACC's leading scorer, was held to two points on l-of-8 shooting. UNC scored on 12 straight possessions in the second half. J.R. Reid hit 6-of-7 shots to up his shooting percentage to 90 percent (27 of 30) over the last three games. The Tar Heels more than doubled Georgia Tech's rebound total 34-16 forced 16 turnovers in the first half alone, and shot 64.5 percent for the game. Remember, this is the same Georgia Tech team that was ranked No. 6 preseason in the AP poll. Dean Smith, whose normal opening quote at postgame press conferences is "I'd like to give (fill in the team) a lot of credit for a game well-played," this time smiled and said: "This is a tremendous victory of unbelievable proportions." That is a rare quote from one of the masters of understatement. But the game was tremendous, from the Tar Heels' point of view. Five players scored in double figures, with substitute point guard Jeff Lebo and Reid leading the way with 16 points each. Dave Popson hit for 15, a number on an outside shot he no longer hesitates to take, and Joe Wolf and Scott Williams added 10. But the scoring for the Tar Heels wasn't as much the key as a pressing, man-to-man defense that completely rattled Tech. "We jumped them early," Popson said.

If elected, Clark would concen trate on issues that have been addressed in the past, but have not reached a conclusion agreeable to students, he said. "I'd like to stick to those things that are already there, instead of coming up with six or seven new programs. I'd like to see what we can get done," he said. A "students' needs assessment study," which is being compiled by RHA, indicates that most students don't want their rent money spent on special living and learning pro grams like French and Spanish suites in Carmichael Residence Hall. Kuralt honors Dad in benefit show By RANDY FARMER Managing Editor The lights flicked on and off several times in the foyer of Memor ial Auditorium Friday night, beck oning the crowd to take their seats. There was much to witness. For one thing, the evening's performance a benefit to help the UNC School of Social Work met its fund-raising goal of $250,000 to endow a chair in honor of Wallace Kuralt, father of Charles. The presentation, "North Carolina Is My Home," featured such notables as Charles Kuralt of CBS and Loonis McGlohon, a musician. N.C. Gov. Jim Martin attended the perfor mance, and it was emceed by Wil liam Friday, UNC president emeritus. Jim Babb, coordinator of the fund raising, said, "To tell the truth, this is the easiest fund-raising campaign I've ever been involved with. 1 think we had to go about 100 deep before getting turned down."

Kuralt commented to the capacity crowd: "1 didn't know until recently that Dean Turner (Dean of UNC School of Social Work) needed a chair. This family of mine, we've got a lot of chairs for him if we'd only known it. "1 hope this chair measures up to the chair I ran into some years ago in Davidson, North Carolina.

State Chapel Hill, North Carolina it DTHTony Deifell as Tech's Craig Neal looks on fadeot into reserve cash By MARY PARADESES Staff Writer Student Congress withdrew $8,500 from a credit union invest ment account the congress uses in case it needs extra cash, Student Body Treasurer John Williams said. "We have no intentions of replac ing the money now, although there will be less of a private investment for the next Student Congress," he said. The account was established in 1983 by students angry at the University's refusal to divest. The students withdrew an estimated $16,000 from University accounts and placed the money in the State Employee's Credit Union, Williams said. Student Government chose the credit union in order to help the state On N.C. towns, Kuralt said: "At the head of Buffalo Creek, there is a little place called Aho. Years ago, some of the men who lived there gathered around a stove trying to decide what to call the place. And they couldn't agree. But they couldn't stay all night either. . "So after considering dozens of names of which one or another of them raised an objection, they decided the next thing out of anyb ody's mouth would become the name of their community. They sat there a while in silence, until Mr. B.B. Doree stood up and stretched him self, and said, 'Aho.' That's how they got Aho, North Carolina." One intoxicating bit of N.C. history is home-brewed corn squeez ings, so Kuralt didn't leave the white lightnin' unsaluted.

"I think everybody will breathe a collective sigh of relief when Cane Creek is completed, because the community has been plagued with water shortage problems for so long," OWASA Chairman Edward N. Mann Jr. said. Completion of the project is scheduled for June 1989. Located 1 2 miles west of Carrboro on N.C. 54, the reservoir will store 3 billion gallons of water and is designed to provide more than 10 million gallons of drinking water per day. The reservoir will be at least three times larger than University Lake, OWASA's current main water supply. Together with University Lake, Cane Creek Reservoir will be able to provide more than . 1 3 million gallons of water per day. That is more than twice the amount of water now used in the community. OWASA officials estimate that these two sources, plus Stone Quarry Reservoir, will be able to meet the community's water needs until the year 2030. But that date might have to be changed to 2020 because of the ever- Congress support local businesses. Speaker Jaye Sitton said that the congress did not withdraw the money because they went over budget, even with the $4,716 fee it had to pay the Student Activities Fund Organization. According to Williams, Student Congress spent more this past semester than in recent years. Because the budget operates on a deficit, Student Congress decided to withdraw the money from the credit union account to ensure that the funds would be available for the fees that have had to pay lately. "We've budgeted a lot of money to various organizations such as WXYC, to whom we donated $15,000," Sitton said. "We still have at least $6,000 left over even after 4IH nn ill Charles Kuralt narrates "North Wendell Last Day For seniors to apply for graduation NewsSportsArts 962-0245 Business Advertising 962-1163 TI 0 dm increasing strain on the water supply, OWASA Executive Director Everett Billingsley said. "The time has come for the state legislature to grant local authorities the power to complete projects like this on their own," said David Moreau, director of the Water Resources Research Institute. "State government should provide incentives and grants for local governments to get on with the task of providing water for their resi dents," Moreau said. "It should not have taken 18 years to get to this point." The project, designed by Hazen and Sawyer Engineers of Raleigh, will cover 760 acres of land and in clude a permanent earthen dam 72 feet high and 1,350 feet long. The reservoir will cover 480 acres. But not everyone is thrilled about the new reservoir. Edward S. Johnson, an associate professor of psychology at the University, headed up the opposition group, Cane Creek Conservation Authority. The group tried to prove that Cane Creek's negative influence on the community would outweigh the positive namely by taking up farmland, destroying natural habi tats for wildlife and acting as a magnet for development. But Johnson conceded that "OWASA and the community both see the importance of maintaining the small rural atmosphere in that area." See RESERVOIR page 6 dips IX. ffmeds counting each organization's bud geted money." Sitton said Student Congress always hoped for money "reverting" back to them. This means some organizations do not use all of the money appropriated to them, and the unused funds are reverted, or given back, to Student Congress. Although Student Congress receives approximately $485,600 in student fees, funneled into the account all year, only $177,140 is budgeted to various groups, Willi ams said. "The credit union account is an excellent buffer because we know we will always have cash on hand," Williams said. "Hopefully, though, we won't have to use the money in the account again this year."
