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.

Clark makes a bid
for RHA president
By JO FLEISCHER
Staff Writer
Kelly Clark, a junior journalism
major from Asheboro, has
announced his candidacy for Resi
dence Hall Association president.
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.

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. "Here's to old

After 18 years of legal discussion
and planning, the Orange Water and
Sewer Authority officially broke
ground for construction of Cane
Creek Reservoir Saturday the first
step in what OWASA officials call
a milestone in water supply devel
opment for the community.
"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

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."

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."
