5? Legendary to perform in Paul Green Theatre By SCOTT COWEN Sail Writer Award-winning singer Doc Wat son will perform tonight in Paul s Green Theatre as part of the Dark Night Concert Series. The series is put on by PlayMakers Repertory Company in association with Allison Lee. Watson has been performing his brand of country music for over 25 years and has been honored with four Grammy awards, the most recent being in February 1987 for his Riding the Midnight Train release. This recording represents a successful bluegrass crossover and his last effort with his late son and musical partner Merle. Watson also received the North Carolina Award for the per forming arts in 1986. Watson, who was recently featured in People magazine, released his 24th album, Portrait, this summer on the Sugar Hill label out of Durham. A native and current resident of Deep Research director of the Office of Research Services. This year the University broke "the sound barrier" when it surpassed the $100 million mark, Scott said. "It's a real milestone," he said. "It means we are recruiting active, talented, motivated people who want to make the world a better place to live in." Of the millions received in grant money this year, $84.6 million came from the federal government. Private sources gave $17 million and $3.7 million came from the state. Most of the grant money goes toward health-oriented research, with the School of Medicine receiving $46.2 million this year. Nationally, the National Institute of Health ranks UNC 16th in terms of the grant money awards. UNC received 381 grants from the NIH this year, totaling $45.5 million. The National Science Foundation has yet to release its rankings, but in past years UNC has placed in the ! 20s for grants received. Money isnt the only factor that classifies UNC as a major research institution. Dennis O'ConnorUNC vice chan cellor for research and dean of the Graduate School and a developmen tal biologist who came from the University of ' California at Los Angeles two months ago, said the quality of UNCs faculty and staff distinguishes it as "major." The University's tenured faculty and about 10 percent of the student body, mostly graduate students, are involved directly with research, O'Connor said. "There are some really superb people here," he said. "Of those 2,000 faculty that are appointed here in a tenured tract, many are making contributions about the way we think about the world. "That makes us major it's not just because we get tons of money," O'Connor said. Scott agreed. Undergraduates benefit from the research emphasis of the University, Scott said, even though most don't participate directly.

He also helped the Smith Sisters, who have recently played at the ArtsCenter in Carrboro, on their first two albums. Watson is renowned not only for his guitar abilities, but also for his clear baritone voice and friendly stage manner. It has been said that he "introduces each song as a father would in teaching his son." He also adds stories to his shows to form a mixture that has appealed to audien ces for years. Tonight's concert may be the last of many Chapel Hill performances by the 64-year-old Watson, since he indicates he is strongly considering retiring in March.

But staying top-ranked isn't easy for UNC, especially since it is a state institution, Scott said. "It's plain will and stubbornness that gets us right up there," he said. "We would fare much better in almost all areas if we could pay better salaries," Scott said, "but statutes prevent us from paying better salaries." Lack of money for faculty and staff salaries has been a major complaint of UNC officials for decades. In a Feb. 12, 1928 article in The Charlotte Observer, University officials said, "Too often other universities have been able to attract these men by offering them larger salaries than is the scale here." Unlike private institutions such as Harvard University and Duke Uni versity, salaries at UNC-system schools are controlled by the state and cannot be changed by individual institutions. O'Connor said that as the driver of a "research truck," his job is to enhance the University's research climate. One of the most-needed enhancements is an increase in money for graduate students, he said. 'The graduate student support at j Chapel Hill is an abysmal represen tation of UNC as a research institu tion," he said. "If one can correct that, Chapel Hill will zoom." The graduate students and faculty attracted by the school determine the research environment of this part of North Carolina, O'Connor said. In turn, a good research environment attracts research-oriented businesses to the state, he said. According to a 1985 study released by doctoral student Xin Ming Mu and Professor Harvey Goldstein of the Department of City and Regional . Planning, "Every dollar of research funding which the University receives and spends in North Carolina gener ates more than a dollar of economic activity in the state." Goldstein said as the amount of outside grant money for research increases, the economic benefit to the state also increases. lUUimKOCKUMTS) Deacons Maybe UNC was flat Saturday against Wake Forest. And maybe the Deacons' victory was simply the result of the fact that the Tar Heels really didn't seem to care much about the game.1 But Wake's quarterback Mike Elkins, who had a quietly efficient day while guiding the Dea cons to 19 points in the first half, was convinced that his offense's perfor mance had at least something to do with the win. , "We had a great plan offensively," Elkins said. "We moved the ball most every time we had it. Coming into the game we had a lot of confidence because we believed in the plan. We felt if we didn't turn it over or have an excessive amount of penalties, we'd come out with a win, and that's what we did." The faith of the offense in coach Bill . Dooley's plan translated into superior execution Saturday, or at least it did during the first half, when the Deacons rolled up 275 yards on offense to the Tar Heels' 142. During the final 30 minutes, Wake gained just 38 yards on offense, and seemed content to coast to victory. . The Deacons earned the win in the first half, though, as they ran just six series and scored on five of them. Wake confronted the Tar Heels with a powerful ground game, and a willingness to innovate that seemed to vanish as the game progressed. The mix between the pass and the run was kept lively, and Elkins' abiliity to run the option prevented the Tar Heel defense from sealing the corners. Perhaps the biggest surprise in Wake's offensive showing was its ability to negate the Tar Heels' superior front line. Outsized at the line, the Deacons overcame that disadvantage by keeping Elkins constantly on the move. The 6-3 junior was 13-of-25 for 181 yards on Wake Forest end zone with three wide "receivers and quarterback Mark Maye lofted a desperation pass in that direction. Wake cornerback A.J. Greene leaped and tried to bat the ball down, but UNC's Eric Lewis made a diving grab of the deflection along the end line. However, back judge William Lovett waved Lewis out of bounds and the game was over. "I was definitely in. No doubt about it," Lewis said. "My feet and my knees were clearly on the ground. . Even one of their guys came over and told me I was inbounds. But the ref had to make a judgment call and he couldn't change it." Had Lewis' catch counted and the subsequent two-point conversion attempt succeeded, the Tar Heels would have come away with a tie, a fate they really didn't deserve. "We didn't even play 50 percent today," UNC coach Dick Crum said. "I think our guys were just flat. If we had played like we're capable of playing, we could have won the football game. But we didn't." Indeed, Wake owned Saturday's game from the opening kickoff , which Hcsuter Or Vlholz VJhcat Crust N.

Even when Elkins wasn't sliding toward the sideline, he was taking quick drops and getting rid of the ball, or else he was dropping very deep, luring the UNC defense in, and then dumping the ball over the defense to one of the fleet Deacon backs. The emphasis was on keeping the pocket flexible, on denying the Tar Heels a chance to blow Wake off the line. "It's really not fair to our line to put them straight up against (UNC's) defense line .in pass protection," Elkins said. "Their guys are just too good. We just took the short stuff and moved it down the field." UNC defensive tackle Tim Goad also pointed to the Deacons' propen sity for the low-risk, short-gain play as a key to their success. "We were expecting him to roll out," Goad said. "They did a lot of nickel-and-dime stuff. Any time you play against a Mike Elkins, you got to respect him. He is a great quar terback, and you want to take the threat deep away first." The Tar Heels may have denied the Deacons deep (Elkins' longest pass of the day went to Ricky Proehl for 40 yards, and came on Wake's first drive of the game), but they never really got around to denying them short. Elkins consistently split the UNC zone, hitting the man in the seams underneath. Cornerback Derrick Donald was succint in his summation of Elkins' performance. "He was just doing a Ricky Proehl returned to the Deacon 42. Six plays and three minutes later, following a 40-yard Elkins-to-Proehl hookup and an eight-yard touch down toss to Darryl McGill, it was 7-0, Deacons. That would be Wake Forest's only end-zone entrance on the afternoon, but it was a significant one. Scoring first was so easy for the visitors that it left UNC a bit stunned. "We were baffled and .confused after, that," Lewis said. " W6' were so! mad something went right for themf. We couldn't believe it." Thanks to Hoyle, a 5-10 sopho more from Henderson, the Deacons proceeded to change the scoreboard on four of their five remaining first half possessions. Hoyle's 5-for-5 performance Saturday left him 10-for-11 this season, including 10 in a row. North Carolina trailed 19-7 at the half, with freshman tailback Reggie Clark's five-yard TD run late in the second quarter the Tar Heels' only score. Clark, a freshman from Char lotte, gained 56 yards after starter Eric Starr suffered a deep thigh bruise 30r.inutc Guarantee To Limited Area Tar Heel Surplus 20", 2-ltem Pizza $1045 The Daily Tar nil i, ..M i. .iiiHMivtiwMMMauuijwiuinHwii . iimu m mm. - v ' Y'wJi X"" f4i i j f 7 .

The; third quarter was a yawner, featuring a 37-yard Hoyle field goal and perhaps the poorest offensive showing by the Tar Heels this year. UNC's first three possessions of the second half netted two yards of total offense. Each third-down play ended with Maye keeping the ball himself and coming up short. A chorus of boos rained down ori the field as the ! frustrated - f aithfulre'xpressed" their displeasure with the futility of the offense. Maye finished 15-of-34 for 200 yards and one touchdown.
