But the way Joe Wolf, Kenny Smith and the rest of the third-ranked UNC Tar Heels played Thursday night in Reynolds Coli seum, one could make a strong case for an alternative approach rest. Smith and Wolf, who went 9-for-9 from the field, had 21 points apiece as North Carolina never trailed in cruising to a 96-79 win over N.C. State. It was the fifth straight loss for the sagging Wolfpack. State dropped to 12-9 overall and 44 in the conference, while UNC upped its mark to 19-2 and 8-0. Wolf and Smith were among a handful of Tar Heels who missed practice time this week with a variety of ailments. Wolf was stricken with the flu, as was Jeff Lebo, while Smith was coming off arthroscopic surgery he underwent last Saturday. But against the Wolfpack you would never have known it. Wolfs laryngitis precluded any post-game comments from him. But it didn't matter, he'd said plenty on the court already. His performance included two very loud three pointers after the issue had been decided. Wolf wasn't the only Tar Heel who was on fire. As a team, UNC shot a season-high 65 percent for the game, making 39-of-60 attempts. State shot just 47 percent from the floor. "It's surprising to come over here and win like this," UNC coach Dean Smith said. "I was very happy with our second half offense and 1 was pleased with our defense for 40 minutes. I thought Kenny Smith's defense was tremendous, coming off knee surgery." Smith did a brilliant job on State's point guard Kenny Drummond, forcing him into nine turnovers and holding him to 1 1 points. Smith also played a key role in the game's telling stretch, a 10-2 UNC run early in the second half. With 1 6 minutes left, the Tar Heels led 59-48 and the game was still well within the streaky Wolfpack's reach.

Waite, the 6-foot-7 Anglican Church envoy, was last seen by reporters Jan. 20 when he left the Riviera Hotel in west Beirut to negotiate the release of American and foreign hostages. Since then, Waite has not contacted the church or his family. The taxi drivers, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the Associated Press they saw Waite walking with his escorts on a street close to the Lebanese capital's airport highway at about 3 p.m. Thursday. "I saw him smiling and waving his hand to onlookers as he walked. He wore a gray raincoat," one witness said. "I stopped my taxi to watch, but the escorts waved me away, shouting: 'Don't stop. Drive on.' I did." Waite wore a raincoat when he was last seen by reporters. Another taxi driver said he saw Waite at the same time in the same procession, smiling and waving his right arm to onlookers on the left side of the street. Both drivers work in the neigh borhood of the Riviera Hotel, where Waite stayed between his arrival in Lebanon on Jan. 12 and the time he disappeared on Jan. 20. The taxi drivers said that before Waite's disappearance, they had See WAITE page 4 ;BP raooffff set for SIttoim9 Bailey DTHTony Deifell UNC's Curtis Hunter drives past State's Walker Lambiotte (34) for an easy two in UNC's win Thursday Leutze takes post at Va. college- James R. Leutze From stafl reports James R. Leutze, Dowd professor and chairman of UNC's peace, war and defense curriculum, will be leaving the University before July 1 to become the 20th president of Hampden-Sydney College in Virgi nia, officials said Wednesday. He was unanimously elected by the Hampden-Sydney Board of Trustees Wednesday, according to officials at the college. Efforts to reach Leutze, who was at Hampden-Sydney, were unsuccessful. UNC officials said Wednesday they were sorry to see Leutze go. "I'm thrilled for him, but I'm not happy for Chapel Hill," said UNC Provost Samuel Williamson. "He kept want ing a bigger challenge, and this will give him a chance to display his leadership skills and work toward undergraduate development." According to John Marker, direc tor of news and information at Hampden-Sydney, the trustees' decision to hire Leutze was fairly easy. "We understand from the people in Chapel Hill that Dr. Leutze is one of the most well-liked pro fessors on campus," Marker said. "He's really a teacher's teacher." Hampden-Sidney, a small, all male college with an undergraduate enrollment of about 800 students, has a strong interdisciplinary focus, Marker said. "We're very much a liberal arts college," he said. "We emphasize teaching and personal attention to students." Leutze, who joined UNC's faculty in 1968, received the Standard Oil award for excellence in inspirational teaching of undergraduate students in 1971, and he won the Tanner award for distinguished undergrad uate teaching from UNC in 1978. He will be taking the presidential post from Josiah Bunting III, who is leaving Hampden-Sydney to become headmaster at the Lawrence ville School in Lawrenceville, N.J. By JO FLEISCHER Assistant University Editor With the recent election's results tabulated, the real contest begins, pitting top finisher Jaye Sitton against runner-up Brian Bailey in next week's student body president runoff election. The two will meet in the runoff because neither won a 50 percent majority in the six-candidate race. Sitton, who finished about 280 votes about 6 percentage points ahead of Bailey in the general election, is sticking to the same plan, and she is working hard to bring her supporters out again Tuesday, she said. "We need to get the people who supported us the first time back to the polls on Tuesday," she said. "Those who voted for others will have to compare Brian and me and vote for the candidate they think is the most qualified." Bailey said he will use the weekend to go door-to-door to meet students he hasn't yet reached to make up some ground. "I'm going to have to work hard to get at least as many people to the polls as supported me last time, but I dont think it's something I can't do," he said. Last year's runoff election between Bryan Hassel and David Brady drew 1,220 fewer votes than the general election. Tuesday's vote will be decided by the number of each candidates' supporters who turn out a week later. Elections 1987 Another factor is how supporters of the losing candidates will vote for Sitton and Bailey Tuesday. In the general election Sitton recieved 34 percent of the votes, and Bailey 28 percent leaving 38 percent to the four other candidates. Sitton and Bailey said they think those voters will have an easier time choosing from the narrowed field of two. Sitton said she thinks her expe rience will allow her to accomplish more, if elected. "I know the admin istration, and I know student govern ment, and 111 be able to stand up for student concerns," she said. Bailey disagreed. "I think I want to represent the students," he said. "If Jaye is such a good representa tive, I wonder why her dorm and the area she's been representing for two years didn't support her." In her home dormitory, Spencer, Sitton received 33 votes to Bailey's 42. In Mclver, Bailey pulled 52 votes to Sitton's 30. Sitton and Bailey differed sharply at last Sunday's Conner candidate's forum on the issue of the Student Patrol program initiated by the Student Congress representatives. Sitton said Thursday that the program was initiated a week before See RUNOFF page 3 NoCo lesMatafe to meet CD? Disagreement starts on funding for education plans, prison reform By SHARON KEBCHULL and LEE ANN NECESSARY Staff Writers When the N.C. General Assembly con venes on Monday, a host of issues, including new and past legislation, will appear on the agenda. Gov. Jim Martin's proposal to fund the Basic Education Plan, including statewide implementation of the Career Ladder Plan for teachers and the issue of up to $2 billion in bonds for school construction, are considered top priority issues by many legislators. Martin, who submitted his budget last week, suggested that funding for education programs be delayed. N.C. House of Representatives Speaker Liston Ramsey said although the Basic Education Plan funding was important, the issue would not be addressed until the state budget meetings in July. The Democratic Party supports a con tinuation of the program but is concerned about some programs Martin is leaving out, Ken Eudy, executive director of the N.C. Democratic Party, said. "Martin has proposed no money for the remedial summer school programs, and testing has shown this program is a great success in reducing the drop-out rate," Eudy said. North Carolina has one of the highest . drop-out rates in the nation, he said. The N.C. State Board of Education is recommending an alternative to Martin's plan for fund distribution which includes an additional $2.3 million for clerical assistance, $1.7 million more in staff development programs, $50,000 more in school supplies and $300,000 more for academically exceptional students' pro grams, Eudy said. Lt. Gov. Bob Jordan has expressed concerns that Martin has used inflated revenue estimates for his budget proposal. Representatives are also concerned with a possible federal takeover to reduce prison population. To deal with prison overcrowd ing, Rep. Anne Barnes, D-Chapel Hill, has proposed a design to keep more misdemea nants in their home counties. Barnes, co-chairperson of the Special Committee on Prisons, has suggested a $20 million fund for counties to build work release jails on the condition that the counties not send misdemeanants to the state prison system. In opposition to Barnes' proposal, Rep. Coy Privette, R-Kannapolis, will introduce a bill to install an electronic surveillance system in the state prisons. The prisoners on work-release would wear an electronic device on their pant cuffs which would be monitored by law enforcement agencies. "If we trust prisoners to go out on work release into the private sector, then why not let them go out in this way and free up an extra bed for someone who needs it," Privette said. Chairman of the Appropriations Com mittee Rep. Bob Etheridge, said, "One concern members of the committee and every member of General Assembly has is that with $20 million appropriated last year for work release programs and construction of new prisons, nothing has been done with it. No land has been purchased." Martin supports some prison reforms and has put items for it into his budget, Karen Rotterman, a spokeswoman for the governor, said. Privette said he would also be supporting a bill requiring parental consent for abortion in the case of minors. The bill, which passed in the House but was stalled in the Senate by a technicality last session, will have to be reintroduced this session. Privette said there would be provisions for children who do live at home or under other special circumstances, in which case a judge would have to give consent. The legislature will also look at a proposal by the N.C. Association of County Commissioners which recommends that the state pay the administration of only one school in the county to encourage the schools to consolidate. Counties, like Robeson and Nash which have to deal with many school systems that could be combined, are supporting the proposal, Debra Holly, director of infor mation of the N.C. County Commissioners Association said. "The proposal still gives the counties the option of extra schools if they are willing to finance them locally," Holly said. Jordan also supports a consolidation of school districts, but feels it ought to be locally initiated, Laura Bingham, Jordan's assistant for policy, said. Although Jordan does not yet have a particular stand on the issue, he does feel the administrative See LEGISLATURE page 2 The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Samuel Johnson
