estions and subtle hints for
the NCAA and Mack Brown
Sugg
uu
It's pretty bad when your own fans
start to taunt you. Tar Heels, don't
you feel any remorse at all?
There are the jokes, like the one
I picked up at the barber shop.
"Heard Mack Brown's gonna buy
himself a 7-Eleven."
"Oh yeah? Is he gonna change the
name?"
"Uh, huh to 0-11."
Well, not much can be said in
defense of the Tar Heels, who are
riding the nation's fourth-longest
frustration roller coaster at nine
games without a celebration. Until
Saturday, that is.
Tar Heels 24. Georgia Tech 21.
And remember, you heard it here
first. .
Let's face it, UNC is between a rock
and a very hard place. Losers have
no friends, and the press long ago
became not so friendly toward Mack
Brown's troops. But now, in the great
tradition of Tar Heel spirit, some of
the students are even turning tail.
Mack Brown is quite aware.
"We can't worry about whether we
win one, we don't win any or if we
win the last five," the Tar Heel coach
said after his team's most recent
debacle, a 48-3 smashing at home,
courtesy of . their stalemates from
Raleigh.
"Our problems are bigger than win
loss record this year. Our problems
are re-establishing ourselves and this
program to get it back to where we
can compete."
. To this end, Brown made a plea
to all area talent on his football show
Sunday, challenging the state's best
to: "come up here to North Carolina
arid help us turn this thing around."
But turning this thing around
begins Saturday with the Tar Heels.
The aura of North Carolina will go
a long way, but 0-11 won't interest
a whole lot of people when your area
cdmpetition, the States and Dukes of
this world, are off to some of the best
starts in their respective histories.
;ln short, Carolina needs to put one
hi the "W" column. And quite simply,
Georgia Tech must go down.
'Though Brown has an offensive
mind to rival Air Coryell, the Tar
Heels have the troops to carry out
the passing game equivalent to, say,
Chapel Hill High School. At this
point, the passing game is not there.
Langston Wertz
Opinion
When forced to throw often,
UNC's quarterbacks are telegraphing
their passes, forcing passes and
missing open receivers. It's time to
put the bean on the ground and give
it to Kennard Martin and Torin Dorn
and to keep it away from the
opposition's offense. 1
Surprisingly, despite the 0-6 start,
UNC leads the ACC in average yards
per carry, and all of the Tar Heels'
opposing coaches have pointed to the
UNC offensive line as a primary
strength.
Listen to N.C. State head man
Dick Sheridan: "I didn't think we'd
stop UNC from scoring a touchdown
(Saturday). They have probably the
best offensive line that we have faced
this year, and they ran the ball down
our throat early on. We simply
couldn't stop them.
"But I knew. if they got behind, they
would have to start passing.. Their
strong point is running, not passing."
It's not some great hidden message.
In time, Brown's Tar Heels will more
than likely be an aerial thing of
beauty. But for now, Air Mack has
Dick Crum's recruits to work with,
recruits brought in to emphasize the
running game and feature the
- tailback.
For now, give it to Kennard and
Torin. Be a little boring. But doggone
it, 24-21 must sound a heckuva lot
better than 0-7.
D
There are certain beliefs that, since
I have been a Tar Heel, have seemed
to be incorporated into the American
way. These beliefs are cherished as
much as our inalienable right to take
15-minute showers.
For example:
a Michael Jordan is a demi-god.
D J.R. Reid was the first human
being on this earth to wear a flat
top. n Light beer is a diet drink.
Along those same lines, college
football is a fantastic game. But it's
a game that needs a couple of simple
rule changes that would make it a.
wondrous coming together of spirit,
emotion and the NCAA.
Simply put, college football needs
a playoff system to determine a
national champion, and it needs a tie
breaking system to help decide the
outcome of the closely-played battle.
Let's say UNC is ranked No. 1 all
season in football (I said "Let's say,"
so gimme me a break here) and
Johnson C. Smith is ranked No2.
In the fifth week, the Tar Heels lose
to Shaw University in a thrilla 21
20. The nation would know that the
game was a fluke, but unless Smith
loses a game, the Heels' chances for
a national title would be all but shot.
But enough about playoffs. The
NCAA needs to think about that one.
I can almost live without a playoff
system, but I will be upset if and when
Miami and Oklahoma, the nation's
two best teams and yes, USC and
Notre Dame, you can throw rankings
and upsets out the window dont
play in the Orange Bowl for all the
marbles.
The NCAA needs a tie-breaking
system. I cannot live and watch teams
forfeit ballgames while trying to avoid
a loss. What am I talking about? .
Just last weekend the Miami
Hurricanes saw their 16-game win
streak and No. 1 national ranking go
down the tubes at Notre Dame. The
'Canes scored a late touchdown to
, cut their deficit to 31-30 and then had
to make a decision. Go for the win
or the tie?
Miami coach Jimmy Johnson went
for broke, but Steve Walsh's pass was
batted away in the end zone, allowing
the Irish to post the big upset.
Wouldn't it have been fantastic if
Johnson's Hurricanes could have
kicked the extra point and sent the
game into overtime?
And not in that bogus way the
professionals in Rozelle's league do
things. Not the first to score wins.
Let 'em play for 15 minutes and the
team that scores most . . . well, I
think you understand.
Methinks the NCAA needs to add
a certain unalienable right to its
books of laws: A Team May Go For
The Tie In A Ballgame And Still Try
For A Victory. In overtime.
Men's soccer wins fifth stirafelht
From Staff reports
HICKORY Senior back
Donald Cogsville scored three
goals and sophomore forward
Derek Missimo added two more
to pace the UNC men's soccer
team to a 6-0 win over Lenior
Rhyne on Wednesday.
The win was the Tar Heel's fifth
straight as they improved their
record to 9-6-1. The Lenior-Rhyne
Bears, meanwhile, fell to 4-9-2.
The first tally of the game came
at 32:07 and was the first of four
North Carolina goals to be scored
in the next six and a half minutes,
Cogsville took a feed from Dino
Megaloudis across the middle and
beat the Bears' goalie Billy Mock
from 12 yards out for the game
winner.
Less than two minutes later,
Cogsville quickly got his second
goal with a diving header from five
yards out. Missimo then nailed the
first of his two goals from eight
yards out off a Chad Ashton pass
at the 37:27 mark.
Cogsville finished the scoring
flurry just over a minute later-on
a 12-yard chip shot over Mock's
head off a Jose Luis Coirolo pass.
UNC rounded out the rout with
two second-half goals. Jim Gour
lay converted an Alan Higgins
pass from 10 yards out at the 59:59
mark. Missimo headed a Matt
Morgan pass from just six yards
out for his second and final goal
at the 83:59 point to account for
the final score.
The Tar Heels dominated the
statistics sheet as well. Senior
UNC goalkeeper Darren Royer
only had to make three saves while
his counterpart on the other side
of the field, Mock, was forced to
slap 10 shots away. UNC also
managed 17 shots on goal while
the Bears only tallied three.
North Carolina attempts to
continue it's streak to six games
on Sunday when they welcome
N.C. State to Fetzer field.

take 3-i
ead in Series
From Staff reports
OAKLAND, Calif. Jay Howell,
the goat of World Series Game 3, set
down Oakland's big sluggers and
picked up the save Wednesday night
as Los Angeles won Game 4, 4-3, to
take a three-games-to-one lead.
Dodger starter Tim Belcher was
impressive, pitching into the seventh
inning before giving way to Howell
after Dave Henderson's RBI double
cut the Dodgers lead to 4-3. Howell
then retired the side and got through
the eighth with ease as well.
In the ninth, Oakland put a runner
on first with one out. Howell then
struck out A's slugger Jose Canseco
and retired Dave Parker on a pop
up to win the game.
Oakland's starting lineup had out
homered Los Angeles 132-36 this
season, but Belcher and Howell
continued the Athletics' Series-long
slump.
Game 5 is set for tonight in
Oakland. Dodgers ace Orel Her-
shiser will try to wrap up the Series,
while Oakland's Storm Davis will try
to prolong the baseball season.

But of all the major changes that
have taken place since the 60's, one
is hardly visible at all: the change
that has taken place in the Pill.
In 1960, the Pill contained as
much as 150 megs, of the hormone
estrogen. Today, it's down to 35
, megs, or less. That's a fraction of the
original dosage.
Yet, today's Pill is as effective as
yesterday's. In fact, it's still the most
effective birth control available
other than sterilization.
But is the Pill right for you? You
should see your doctor to help you
answer that. If the answer is yes,
then the ultimate decision is yours.
And it's important that you learn all
you can about oral contraceptives.
First and foremost, what are the
risks? Does the Pill cause cancer?
Will it make you less fertile? Do you
need to take a rest from it? These are
just a few questions that have sur
rounded the Pill since 1960. Ques
tions which must be addressed by
you arid your physician.
What about the Pill and breast
cancer? Although there are conflict
ing reports concerning this issue,
the Centers for Disease Control
reported that women who took the
Pill, even for 1 5 years, ran no higher
risk of breast cancer than women
who didn't. The CDC also reported
that ovarian and uterine cancer are
substantially less common' among
women who use oral contraceptives.
The Pill has been shown to have
other health benefits as well. Pill
users are less likely to develop pelvic
inflammatory disease (tubal infec
tions), benign breast disease and
iron deficiency anemia, not to men
tion menstrual cramps.
But if the Pill is so effective at pre
venting pregnancy, can it later pre
vent you from having a baby when
you're ready to have one? Studies
BB1 til Pi
have:
indicate that if you were fertile
before you took the Pill, taking it
will not affect your ability to have
children later. Some women may
experience a short period of read
justment after discontinuing the
Pill. Even so, most women usually
become pregnant soon.
One piece of ad vice you may have
heard if you're on the Pill is that you
should take an occasional rest from
it. Yet there's no medical basis for .
this advice. Furthermore, a rest
could turn out to be anything but
restful, since switching to a less
effective form of birth control
increases your chances for un
planned pregnancy.
Now that you know what the risks
aren't, you, should know what the
risks are. For example, if you are
taking the Pill, you should not
smoke. Especially if you are over 35.
Cigarette smoking is known to
increase the risk of serious and pos
sibly life-threatening adverse effects
on the heart and blood vessels from
Pill use. What's more, women with
certain conditions or medical histo
ries should not use the Pill.
Even if you're already ,on the Pill,
you should see your doctor at least
once a year. And read the patient
information regularly.
Taking the Pill is easy. Deciding
whether or not to take it isn't. That's
why it's so important for you to
make an informed decision. Contin
ue reading everything you can about
birth control methods. Seek out reli
able sources. Talk to your doctor.
You've already taken a step in the
right direction. Just think, since you
began reading this, there's a good
chance your knowledge level about
the Pill has increased. Considerably.
