The Fighting Irish defeated UNC 60-58 earlier this season, and got into the round of 1 6 by edging 1 CU, 58-57, in a thriller that preceded the UNC-Michigan tussle before a sellout crowd of 1 1 .232 at Charlotte Coliseum. The Tar Heels, who earned their seventh straight trip to the Final 16. canned 20 of their first 26 shots against Michigan. The barrage came despite Coach Dean Smith's limited use of forward Joe Wolf, who sprained an ankle badly in practice Friday and was diagnosed as "very doubtful" before the game. W'nlr Bnly shot five times in his 20 minutes of playing time and scored nine points, but the rest of the UNC squad more than made up the slack, with five players scoring in double figures. J.R. Reid had 27 points and 10 rebounds. Kenny Smith scored 22, Jeff Lebo had 16, Scott Williams 1 1 and Steve Buck nall 10 as UNC never trailed against the Wolverines, who finished the season at 20-1 1. "We played maybe our best game of the year," said UNC coach Smith, whose team improved to 31-3. the third-most wins in the history of the program. The 1957 and 1982 cham pionship teams had 32 wins, a mark the 1987 squad can eclipse with a trip to the Final Four.

See MICHIGAN page 8 aw may himt By REBECCA NESBIT Staff Writer UNC students arrested in campus demonstrations might not escape prosecution as easily as they have in the past if Orange-Chatham District Attorney Carl Fox succeeds in amending a state trespassing law. Fox is working to change a current law that requires UNC-system chan cellors to be present for court cases involving student protesters arrested for disobeying orders to leave school property. lie said he wants more people to have the authority to verify in court that the chancellor ordered students to leave school property, so the trial outcome would not depend on the presence or absence of the chancellor. "I want to make it so that the law is usable," Fox said. "Right now it's almost impossible to work with." Rep. Joe Hackney, who represents Orange and Chatham counties in the General Assembly, would be respon sible for proposing the amendment to the General Assembly. But Hack ney said last week he had not seen Fox's amendment. Hackney said he had read about the proposal in newspapers, and he agreed that trespass laws of this district are outmoded.

Reid, who had 27 points Saturday, looks for the open man in UNC's 109-97 victory over Michigan chancellor's presence in court to verify that some official did give a directive for demonstrators to leave," said Hackney. , Fox said he hoped that in the future other people could appear in court, including the police chief, vice chancellor and the dean of students. Dale McKinley, a member of Action Against Apartheid, said, "The reason Carl Fox wants to change the law is because the last two trials regarding demonstrations made him look bad because they were not successful in prosecuting us." Fox pressed charges in the Chapel Hill District Court last January against 13 UNC students of the Anti Apartheid Support Group for refus ing to leave the South Building during a protest. The case was dropped when Chancellor Chris topher Fordham did not make the court appearance required by cur rent law. Fordham said he had forgotten the court date and was out of town on a business trip. "The only time there has been any problem with demonstrators was when their demonstration was block ing the work of an office," Fordham .said.'; '' ' He said he would not predict his reactions to future protests if the Darling, only one (J .:MM0&-. 5, - Carl Fox amendment is approved and prose cution of student protesters becomes more probable. He said he hoped he would not have to call police to arrest students again. v "I generally like to meet with students and come to "some kind of understanding. I see myself as someone with considerable sym pathy . for student concerns," said Fordham. McKinley said he does not think the ammendment would hinder activities of the anti-apartheid organizations. "It doesn't make that much dif ference to us whether the law is more strict in prosecuting those who demonstrate," he said.

"We should have cable access within the next two to three years," Housing Director Wayne Kuncl said. "Cable's on the way." Physical Plant Director Bob Peake said the main backbone of the cable wire is already running through campus. However, not enough con duits are available to bring the cable Old East By LAURA PEARLMAN Staff Writer v University-employed architects are now studying . a proposal to renovate Old East and Old West Residence Halls so they can be used as living areas for outstanding seniors, according to Gillian Cell, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and the General College. The Arts and Sciences faculty has "enthusiastically and unanimously" supported the idea. Cell said, and several students have approached her to support it. fa too mioisy. on coTiQimoJi says By CORNELIA LEE Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Town Council denied Pi Kappa Phi's request for a special noise permit for the Nth annual Burnout last Monday night in a 5-3 vote. The noise permit would have allowed the fraternity to have ampli fied live music outdoors before 5 p.m. Town Council members said they were concerned about the location of the event. Last year the Burnout drew about 2,000 people to the fraternity house on Finley road near the Oaks residential area. During the council meeting, inte rim Police Chief Arnold Gold said residents of the Oaks neighborhood complained of littering, indecent exposure and vandalism occurring during the party. Gold cited other problems, includ ing sanitation, traffic congestion and limited emergency vehicle access. He recommended that the council deny the noise permit. N.C. Burn Center director Dr. H.D. Peterson said after the deci sion, "I live in the Oaks, and 1 never heard any complaints. The noise wasn't a problem. There wasn't any significant vandalism. 1 would know about it." : 4 , - , The fraternity contributes the funds raised by the Burnout to the Burn Center. Last Thursday, Gold said the police department had received an unknown number of complaints last year by telephone and had not recorded them. He said residents complained that some party-goers pushed over mail boxes and urinated in public. The fraternity's proposal, submit ted to the Town Council Feb. 25, addressed some of the police depart ment's concerns. For example, this year the fraternity would not distri bute beer, but would provide Coke and Pepsi. The fraternity also proposed to increase the number of parking monitors and provide more shuttle buses for party-goers, with several stops on campus and at parking lots. Cam Huffman, Pi Kappa Phi house father, said the fraternity to residence halls immediately, he said. "There's a study being done by an outside organization to explore the cost and feasibility of cable instal lation, and the study should be complete by June," Peake said. Scott Gesl. executive consultant for Student Television, said cable could be brought to campus in several ways. "It could be brought in through the town's cable company, Carolina Cable," Gest said, "or a dish could be installed on Bennet Building, or Bennet Building could simply gener ptem enidleff "I feel like this arrangement will help break down the size of the University," she said. "It will allow for more and different types of interactions between faculty and students, and will offer a greater sense of community on-campus." Cell, who originated the proposal, said it will be discussed "more after architects report on the cost and feasibility of the project. The chan cellor's administrative council and the Arts and Sciences faculty have discussed the proposal thoroughly, she said.. would work to meet the council's demands. "Last year we used Port-a-Johns maybe seven or eight but we can always get more," he said. "We did have nurses on duty at first-aid stations. We have pledges who are willing to clean up." Council member John Howes said, "This event has become increas ingly abrasive, in spite of the fact that you have met our demands. We are expressing concerns that have been voiced to us. And we want to move such events to the center of the campus." Before submitting their proposal to the Town Council, Burnout chairmen John Biggers and Scott Gerlach worked with Chief Gold to iron out the difficulties. Biggers said Gold did not recom mend changing the location to Ehringhaus Field until almost three weeks ago. By that time, Ehringhaus Field was booked for April 10, he said. Biggers said Gold wanted the Burnout moved onto campus to lessen the work load for the Chapel Hill Police Department, because UNC police would have to deal with the event. Council members Howes, Bill Thcwpe-andNancy Preston Said they would approve the noise permit, but only on the condition that it would , be the last time the fraternity used that location. But the majority of the council said the fraternity should have moved the location this year. Peterson said the council did not make it clear last year that they wanted the location changed for this year. "Last year the mayor was willing to help the fraternity," Peterson said. "Now we have a new mayor and a new Town Council." Peterson said, "I think it is shortsighted on the part of the Town Council to penalize the citizens of North Carolina, and they will be penalized because we won't get $6,000 for research, patient care and" burn prevention for no good reason."

"One is for hooking up the computer systems in the dorms with the major one in the Undergraduate Library, the second one is for cable television hook-up and the last one is a backup." How to use the cable once it is installed is another problem. The University has the option of putting cable into one lounge per residence See CABLE page 6 scrutiny "I'd like the dorms to house seniors who have shown academic achievement or outstanding service to the community," Cell said. "1 want this proposal to send a very strong signal to students. "UNC places value on achieve ment and we want to reward this," she said. "The people who are outstanding at this University are not recognized enough for their achieve ments. Never once have I seen coverage of the Phi Beta Kappa See OLD EAST page 6
