When, almost seven score years
ago, Alexander Cartwright set down
the rules for the game of base ball
(as it was then known), he provided
that each team would get three outs
per inning. Since then, that rule has
been followed to the letter. Sunday,
the N.C. State Wolfpack found out
why.
Thanks to some poor judgment
and less-than-stellar play in the
outfield, the Wolfpack gave UNC
five outs in the fifth inning, and paid
for their miscues with a 5-4 loss at
Boshamer Stadium Sunday.
Until the bottom of the fifth, State
appeared to be in control of the
game. In the top of the inning,
catcher Bobby Russell had lined an
opposite-field home run off UNC
pitcher David Trautwein. The blast,
which disappeared over the fence
deep inright-center, was Russell's
second of three hits on the day and
gave State a 3-0 lead.
At that point, three runs looked
like an impossibly high mountain for
the Tar Heels to climb. State's

The Chapel Hill Town Council
will heed the town manager's sug
gestion to drop temporarily the
proposed local entertainment ticket
tax and concentrate on support for
the less controversial tax on hotel
and motel rooms.
"The only tax that we voted to
go ahead on was the hotel-motel
tax," council member David God
schalk said.
The council approved a resolution
for state legislators Joe Hackney and
Anne Barnes, telling them the
council supports statewide laws

freshman Preston Woods, an
impressive southpaw who boasted a
4-0 record, had cruised through the
first four innings, allowing just one
hit. That quickly changed.
With one out in the fifth, Woods
walked catcher Jesse Levis, and
yielded a single up the middle, on
a 1-2 count, to second baseman Dave
Arendas.
State then gave UNC its first free
out. Ron Maurer, making an early
appearance as a pinch hitter, drove
a ball into the gap in right center
that might have been caught, but
instead fell safely. The relay might
have gotten Maurer as he tried to
stretch the hit into a double, but a
fleeting glimpse toward home by
State's second baseman presented
Maurer with the two-bagger.
With men on second and third,
Steve Mrowka spanked a shot that
carried far enough to allow the right
fielder to misplay it and give up
another out, gratis. Mrowka's speed
turned the miscue into a two-run
triple, and Darin Campbell's sacri-

"We don't spend a lot of time and
effort pushing statewide bills,"
beyond making recommendations,
council member Art Werner said.
Mayor Jim Wallace said he
believed the ticket tax was still up
for discussion because it was
included in the statewide resolution,
but he added that it would probably
not become a statewide law.
"A statewide entertainment
(ticket) tax would be most difficult
to pass," he said. "1 could hear 1,000
voices screaming about it now."
The ticket tax would raise about
$720,000 for the town, and the hotel
motel tax would raise between
$100,000 and $200,000, according to

"The political reality is that we
would need more support for the
entertainment tax," council member
Julie Andresen said. "We need to
have more than just the Town
Council say this is a good idea."
But the University has opposed
the ticket tax from the outset, and
Chancellor Christopher Fordham
sent two letters to the council stating
his opposition.
"Most towns would be thrilled to
death with a drawing card like the
Smith Center," Fordham said. "I'm
gratified that they've dropped (the
' ticket tax)."
The council will probably renew
its request that the General Assembly
grant a local ticket tax next year.

Although University officials are
forming a Housing Advisory Board,
the board will not reduce the author
ity of the student-faculty task force
appointed to study alternatives for
renovating Old East and Old West
residence halls, officials said Sunday.
Officials have been considering
plans for the board for about two
years, and a list of its members will
probably be finalized by mid-April.
The board will not affect the role
of the Old East Old West Task
Force, according to Wayne Kuncl,
director of University Housing.

Since Student Congress Finance
Committee budget hearings began
on Thursday, the congress has cut
the budget requests of two organ
izations by more than half, according
to finance committee Chairman Neil
Riemann(Dist.l2).
All budget requests must go
through the finance committee,
which then writes a bill making
recomendations for funding the
organizations. The full congress will
vote on the bill April 11.
The committee will recommend
that the congress grant less than half

Andresen said.
"It's the only thing we can do,"
she said. "We can't get everyone's
support on something if they're
lukewarm to it or dont like it."
Andresen said the council needed
to raise money through one of the
three proposed taxes because cuts in
federal grants have left holes in. the
town budget.
She said Chapel Hill residents are
accustomed to services that the town
must finance with taxes, and the
hotel-motel tax would be easier to
pass than the ticket tax.
But the University and the
Chamber of Commerce also oppose
the hotel-motel tax.

The board will be composed of
10 voting members and five non
voting members. The voting
members will be five students and
of the funds requested by the
Toronto Exchange and the Student
Consumer Action Union (SCAU),
Riemann said.
The Toronto Exchange requested
$1,400, but the committee will
recommend that only $550 be
granted. SCAU requested $12,455,
but the committee will recommend
that only $1,744 be granted, he said.
One of the reasons the budget of
the Toronto Exchange was cut was
that the group's representative,
Rebecca Mauldin, wasnt present at
the committee meeting because of a
misunderstanding about where the
meeting was being held, Riemann
sity," Fordham said, referring to
UNC visitors, guests and students'
relatives.
"By and large, it will be paid by
the people who are visiting the
University," he said. "We oppose
both taxes."
Pat Crawford, vice chancellor of
business and finance, said the room
tax would hurt the Carolina Inn,
which is owned by the University,
as well as area hotels and motels.
"We're afraid that adding a tax
to the rooms ... just raises the price
of rooms," she said. "If you can get
your room cheaper in Alamance
County, it's not that far to drive
there."

Kuncl said University Housing
had not had an advisory board for
the past two years.
"Nobody quite knew how to make
the most of it," said Anne Bowden,
who was chairwoman of the board
two years ago. At the time, the

how to take advantage of the board

Although the U.S. Olympic Fes
tival athletes and spectators who
come to Chapel Hill this summer
may cause some inconveniences for
summer school students and faculty,
UNC officials said they were work
ing to keep the . disruptions to a
minimum.
The 900 athletes to be housed in
Carmichael and Cobb residence halls
and the 300,000 people who will
come to watch the festival July 13
to July 26 will not disrupt summer
school classes, according to Ted
Bonus, UNC director of public
information. The festival coincides
with the second term of summer
school.
Dealing with heavy traffic and
finding places to park are not usually
problems during summer school,
Bonus said, but for the two weeks
of the festival, getting around will
not be as easy.
Class schedules will not be dis
rupted, he said. "The Olympic folk
will take control of the sports
facilities, but we are still running a
university," he said. "Our job is to
cooperate with those involved in the
Olympics and accommodate special
services."
The Olympic events at UNC will
be held at Boshamer Stadium, the
Smith Center, Carmichael Audito-
rium, the AstroTurf field and the
Koury Natatorium. These places are
not in the classroom area, Bonus
said. Also, most of the events will
take place in the evenings or on
weekends, not during class time.
Paul Hoolahan, associate athletic
director at UNC, is heading a
chancellor's committee to channel
information about the festival to
different areas of the University that
will be affected. The committee
