I AST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
North Carolina's season ended not
with a bang but a whimper for the
fifth straight season Saturday after
noon, as Syracuse upset UNC 79
75 in the Meadowlands.
The victory gave the Orangemen
the NCAA East Regional title and
a berth in the Final Four against
Providence, their Big East foe who
surprised Georgetown to win the
Southeast Regional. The Tar Heels,
No. I seed in the East Region and
No. 2 team in the nation according
to the final regular-season polls,
faded into their normal role of
watching the seasons final three
ames on television.
Why UNC lost 7
"This is a great North Carolina
team, one of the best we've ever had,"
said disappointed UNC coach Dean
Smith, whose team finished its fifth
straight year of not winning an ACC
tournament or appearing in the Final
Four.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim will
bring a team to the Final Four for
the first time ever after nine NCAA
tournament appearances. "The big
gest thing was, we wouldn't lose,"
said Boeheim. who was carried off
the court on his players' shoulders.
"We made the plays we had to
make."
The Tar Heels didn't. Twice they
had chances in the final 70 seconds
to pull even with the Orangemen,
who had led the entire game. But
Kenny Smiths three-pointer from
the right corner rimmed out with the
score 76-73. After Derrick Coleman
missed the front end of a one-and-one,
UNC had another shot to tie
the game with a three-pointer with
26 seconds left.
But after several passes around the
three-point perimeter, Ranino
Smith drove into the lane and
launched an off-balance, shot that
bounded off the front rim. uWe
would rather have had Ranino
penetrate and then pitch it back out
lor a three-pointer." Coach Smith
said.
1 he Orangemen finally nailed the
game down on two Greg Monroe
free throws, as a sellout, pro
Syracuse crowd of 19,552 yelled, "So
long. ACC."
Much of Syracuse's success in this
tourney was due to its center from
Greece Rony Scikaly. The Oran
gemen's Grecian formula had point
guard Sherman Douglas feeding the
ball to Seikaly, and the plan worked
for 59 points in the two games.
Seikaly was voted the regional's
Most Outstanding Player after he
scored 26 points and pulled down
1 1 rebounds against UNC.
"I never felt so excited for a game,"
said Seikaly, whose team improved
to 30-6.
I he Orange sliced through UNC's
defense early and often. Four
straight baskets gave Syracuse an 8
0 lead, and the Orangemen kept a
comfortable margin throughout the
llrst hall. The primary reason was
rebounding Syracuse pulled down
29 for the half, and UNC had only
12. The offensive board advantage
lor Syracuse was 14-3, and Tar Heel
center J.R. Reid had no rebounds
in the first half.
"The first half was the best we ever
rebounded the ball," Boeheim said.

The petition reads: "We, the

Carolina at Chapel Hill." Fleagle

Seniors exceed goal;
UNC to set $217 .000
By HELEN JONES
Staff Writer
The $217,000 made in a Class of
1987 phonathon fund-raiser in Feb
ruary will be used to install infor
mation booths across campus, create
an endowment fund for student
groups and establish a teaching
award for young faculty.
The class exceeded its fund raising
goal by $ 1 7,000, and more than 1 ,000
seniors pledged $200 apiece to be
paid over the next five years.
Scott Jones, senior class gift
chairman, said the class will try to
improve different aspects of the
University campus with the money
they have raised.
The computer information sta
tions, which were allotted $70,000,
are an ambitious plan, still very
much in the planning stage, he said.
The class hopes to have two or three

doubts its effectiveness.
"The scientific community and the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) have said that a 10-mile
evacuation zone is not adequate for
all accidents," Fleagle said.
The state evacuation plan focuses
on a 10-mile zone around Shearon
Harris and does not take into
account areas outside the zone
including the University's campus.

security services, said one reason the

One idea comes from Walt Disney
World's Epcot Center, Jones said.
A f our-sided computer screen, con
trolled by touching the screen, would
have maps ranging from the entire
campus to individual buildings.
A list of daily activ ities w ould also
be available on the computers. Jones
said he hopes the system will be in
place by the class' fifth class reunion,
in 1992.
Also, the class allotted $65,000 to
establish a teaching award for faculty
members who have worked at the
University seven years or less, based
on undergraduate teaching

considered as a receiving site for
people fleeing from accident areas.
"People in risk areas such as
Research Triangle Park would come
to Chapel Hill if an attack or
accident should happen."
Fleagle agrees with the notion of
Chapel Hill as a receiving site, but
said he thinks people may be misled
into thinking they are safe if they
are out of the 10-mile zone.

PTL mnmster takes over
From Associated Press reports
FORT MILL, S.C. - The
Rev. Richard Dortch, in his first
Sunday sermon since succeeding
evangelist Jim Bakker in the PTL
pulpit, asked the often
applauding and sometimes
weeping congregation to give
money to "let the world know this
ministry is going to stay strong."
"We will not be defeated,"
Dortch said during the two-hour
service at Heritage USA, now
controlled by the Rev. Jerry
Falwell, founder of the Moral
Majority.
"We will move forward, and we
will see our God walk us through
the storm," he told the congre
gation of 2,300.
That storm began Thursday
when Bakker admitted he had
distance set by the NRC, but despite
that there is a lot of evidence which
shows that 10 miles may be inade
quate for large-scale accidents," he
said.
Fleagle said he was not impressed
with a state-run evacuation drill that
took place in the 10-mile zone Feb.

"I went through the evacuation
and noticed that most of the people
who run such drills are part-time

UNC's Board of Trustees should
be more diverse and include more
members. Chairman of the Faculty
George Kennedy said at a Faculty
Council meeting Friday.
"Although all of the trustees'
members are committed to this
University, they aren't knowledged
with it as much as they should be,"
Kennedy said. "To become more
knowledged with this University,
they need not only to enlarge but
also to diversify."
. The University administration
apparently doesn't have much con
fidence in the 13-member board,
Kennedy said, since the Board of
Governors, the body responsible for
administrating the 16-campus UNC
System, has had to make most of
the recent decisions concerning
admissions requirements, athletics,
campus-industry relations and drugs
atUNC-CH.
"Almost any action taken by the
trustees is reviewed at a higher level,"
Kennedy said. "There is a consid
erable amount of frustration with
and lack of confidence in the trustees
board on the part of the faculty,
students and alumni."
Kennedy also said he hoped
William Darity, the only black
trustee, would not resign from the
board. Darity threatened to resign
in February after differences arose
with the board concerning the
University's investments in compan
ies doing business in South Africa.
"I hope Dr. Darity will not resign
from the board," Kennedy said. "He
is not only the token black, but also
the token academic on the board
the only person there with some
understanding of research."
In other action Friday, the council
approved reports from the commit
tee on the status of women and the
committee on minorities and the
disadvantaged.
Jane Brown; chairman of the
committee on the status of women
at the University, told the council
been blackmailed after a sexual
encounter seven years ago. He
turned over his 500,000-member
PTL ministry to Falwell, who
leads the Moral Majority.
Dortch, who had been execu
tive director of PTL under
Bakker, was elevated to PTL
president and host of its television
ministry. .
He told the congregation Sun
day that it should be thankful for
Falwelfs rescue of PTL. "I want
to say on behalf of this church
how deeply we appreciate Jerry
Falwell reaching out to us,"
Dortch said. His comment was
greeted with a standing ovation.
Falwell, who delivered his own
sermon Sunday at his ministry's
headquarters in Virginia, has
acknowledged that he faces prob

state and the NRC are gambling that
a large-scale accident won't happen."
Richard Zaffron, a professor in
the UNC philosophy department
and one of the faculty members
contacted by Fleagle, said he sup
ports the petition.
"Given the distance radioactivity
can travel, we are in need of an
evacuation plan," Zaffron said. "I
think it (Shearon Harris Plant)
shouldn't even be allowed to operate
if surrounding areas don't have
evacuation plans."
tol
that UNC had a net increase of only
35 female faculty members in tenure
track positions over the past 10
years. But more than half of the
undergraduate and graduate popu
lation is female, she said.
"This University needs to renew
and continue to commit itself to the
recruitment of women faculty
members," Brown said. "It needs to
find ways to bring women faculty
members to this University."
Tony Whitehead, chairman of the
committee on the status of minorities
and the disadvantaged, presented a
three-year plan to study the needs
of minorities at UNC. The plan
includes group interviews with
minority students, faculty members
and handicapped students.
"We plan on touching base with
as many minority students and
faculty as possible to find out their
needs," Whitehead said.
The council also approved reports
by the committees on black faculty
and research at UNC.
According to the report of the
committee on black faculty, the
number of black faculty members
decreased by 2 between 1983 and
1986, and the faculty's goal of
increasing black faculty is not being
met.
The committee suggested three
approaches to help increase the
number of black faculty on UNC's
campus:
B Recruiting black doctoral grad
uates who already hold doctoral
degrees, since there are fewer black
doctoral graduates.
B Identifying the doctoral degree
programs that would meet faculty
needs and recruiting blacks to enroll
in the programs that exist on UNC's
campus, supporting the recruitment
with competitive monetary awards
and national advertising.
B Reaffirming efforts to retain the
successful black faculty members
now on UNC's campus, soliciting
financial support to reward excellent
service.
lems in operating PTL, which
, stands for "People That Love"
and "Praise The Lord."
The Charlotte Observer
reported that PTL officials have
been seeking a loan to refinance
long-term debts and to raise cash.
Falwell said the loan would be
for more than $50 million: PTL
documents say it would be backed
with property at Heritage USA
used as collateral.
The complex includes a 500
room hotel, shopping mall,
cafeteria, convention center,
water-amusement park, offices, a
school, a television studio and
several real-estate developments.
