Cmon and shake your booty to WXYCs K-Tel Special
By. TIM LITTLE
Staff Writer
Ever miss those "freedom rock" times
of the '70s, when Elvis was still King,
long sideburns were hip, and bell-bottomed
jeans were the fashion of the
contemporary American?
' Although those fads (including El
vis) are long gone, one thing students
can still enjoy is the music that shaped
the. era. WXYC, UNC's student-run
radio station, is bringing back the music
with its "K-Tel Special," a four-hour
'70s music bonanza starting today at 4
pm.
! . J"
"It's a wild re-creation of the music
we grew up on," station manager Todd
Morman said. "The purpose is for fun,
and it's the type of thing that once you
start listening to, you can't stop."
WXYC legend has it that the idea of
a K-Tel Special first came about when
station workers were reminiscing about
the music of the '70s and how bad it
seemed. After listening to a few songs,
they were surprised at how much fun it
was to remember the "good old days."
WXYC used to do the special exclu
sively at least once a year, but this will
be the first one in a while, Morman
said. If the response is good, the station
will have another show in the spring.
"There's always been a good re
sponse to the show," he said. "Come to
think about it, I don't know why we
don't do it more."
Besides playing hits by such acts as
ABBA, Village People and K.C. & The
Sunshine Band, there will be a "Where
are they now?" feature, investigating
the current lifestyles of that decade's
most memorable stars.
"I've always wanted to know what
happened to Rodney Allen Rippy," said
Alan Woodlief, a junior journalism
major. "I don't know if they'll feature
him, but I'm sure they'll have some
body else on there that I'm curious
about."
Many students have been looking
forward to the program for a long time.
"I used to love all the disco music when
I was really young," said Sean Mitch
ell, a junior advertising major. "I'm
going to get at least three blank cas
settes tonight so I can trip out on the
music in the future."
WXYC deejay "Spott" will be one
of the program's hosts. He said the
special would probably be the most en
tertaining program the station produces
all year.
"You can never get too much of it.
Picture back to the times of CBs and
eight-tracks and you get caught up in
memory lane. It's fantastic."
The special will serve as a lead-in to
WXYCs Beg-A-Thon, a fund-raising
program for the station. The station
will not take pledges during the special,
although it will publicize the fund-raiser
throughout the early evening, Morman
said.
"A lot of times people will have K
Tel parties when they know this pro
gram is going to be on the air ... What
we're hoping for is a big audience."
The K-Tel Special is part of a "big
wave" of new events sponsored by
WXYC, along with the Beg-A-Thon
and a new WXYC night at Magdalena' si
Each program involves all types of
music, ranging from disco and punk to
hip-hop and acid house.
"We have to raise awareness about
the needs of the station," Morman said.
"Some of the equipment we have is old
and defective, and we need to try to get
some quality equipment soon."

$occeir slips away from Terps
By JASON BATES
Staff Writer
' 'Combine one dirt soccer field with
several hours of rain and you get a very
sloppy game. You can take all your
basic soccer tactics and throw them out
the window. Thursday night at the Duke
Soccer Stadium, as each ball was
stopped in its tracks by mud, water or a
Maryland player, the UNC men's soc
cer team saw its season die with the
elements.
, ,The season and the collegiate ca
reers of six seniors ended with a 2-1
loss to the Terrapins in the first round of
the ACC Tournament.
The Tar Heels finished their first
season under head coach Elmar
Bolowich with a four-game losing
streak to finish at 9-9-1 overall. It was
tftp first non-winning season at UNC
$oce 1957.
'.-fThe Terrapins improved to 9-6-2
o'verall and advance to the semifinal to
(See Wake Forest, a 3-2 winner over
Clemson.
j "In a game like that, luck gets you
through," Maryland head coach Alden
hattuck said. "The tactics were simple:
you have to get the ball through. "(We)
play soccer all year, and tonight we had
to play kickball."
"We were prepared for it," Bolowich
said. "The environment makes it a
completely different game. You have
to play the ball in the air. You have to
play the ball forward quickly. And you
cannot fool around with a passing at
tack in the back third of the field.
"Going into this game, we knew it
was a win-or-die situation, and it just
happened that under these circum
stances we gave the game away."
Both teams were sent slipping and
sliding all over the field as the mud that
made up the middle of the playing
surface ate up balls that normally would
have bounced into the paths of onrush
ing players.
The much maligned UNC defense
held the Terrapin attack in check for
most of the night. Leading scorer Derek
Missimo moved from forward to
sweeper for the game and provided a
much needed spark in the back.
"The only change we made was
playing Derek at sweeper, and it worked
out fine," Bolowich said. "He did a

early, and we had to move him out of
his position."
The Terrapins fought threw the rain
first at the 11:30 mark. Junior John
Garvey took the ball down the left wing
and sent a cross past a sliding Missimo.
Senior captain Dom Feltham then sent
a header past the right post from five
yards out to give Maryland a 1-0 lead.
The goal held up until the 48:36
mark of the second half, when the ele
ments worked in the Tar Heels favor.
Senior captain Chad Ashton, UNC's
career assist leader, picked the ball up
about 35 yards in front of the Terrapin
goal. He dribbled to the top of the
penalty box where the ball stopped in
the mud. Ashton and three Maryland
defenders ran past the ball, but Ashton
got back to it first and sent a shot into
the right side of the goal past a diving
Carmine Isaaco from 18 yards out.
The Tar Heels gained new life with
Ashton's goal, and the game seemed to
turn in UNC's favor. But the Terrapins
scored the game-winner six minutes
later.
Garvey, who has five game-winning
goals this season, slipped into the UNC
penalty box. Freshman Jeff Stroud sent
the ball to Garvey, who poked it past
UNC goalkeeper Mike Capre from 12
yards out.
DTH Picks of the Week
Wethinks we have to set the record
straight here, sports fans.
To be brief: Every one of our illus
trious DTH Guest Pickers Of The
Week has actually given us (in writ
ing or via telephone) his or her predic
tions for a particular weekend of
wacky and wonderful college foot
ball. Yes, this includes Kim Conrad,
Sharon Gless, Clint Eastwood, Vice
Chancellor Donald Boulton and the
rest of our prolific prognosticators in
Weeks One through Nine.
It all started when DTH Sports
Editor Extraordinaire Dave (I blush
every time you guys say something like
that) Glenn corralled Conrad, a Play
boy centerfold who happens to be Hugh
Hefner's wife.
Now, each week it is someone's sole
responsibility to find a guest who will
not only impress you, the home viewer,
but will also serve to represent the
character, the will the essence of
the DTH sports staff.
For example, Conrad's selection
signified the importance we place on,
uh, the freedom of expression, the

sented the highest standards of jus
tice, hard work and determination.
Dean Boulton: Education. Carl
Bryan: Spirit. Mitch Kupchak: The
blue-collar worker. The list goes on
and on.
So, this week, we found someone
to represent one of the lesser-known
staples of the DTH sports staff: beer.
Nothing more, nothing less.
And who better to do that than
Peter Coors himself, the president
and king of the Coors Brewing
Company. Good luck, Pete, and, uh,

By the way, until next week, here's
what happened in Week Nine:
Dave (Chicks dig me 'cause I rarely
wear underwear) Glenn: 9-1.
Jamie (Gee guys, what's all the
fuss about beer? All it does is make
you burp and stuff) Rosenberg: 8-2.
Andrew (Strategic analysis, not
intuition, is best for football predic

John (I done sold my soul to

OK, the joke is old, but the following
exchange was still being bantered about
in Chapel Hill's finer watering holes
this week:
; Q: What do Rev. Billy Graham and
Mack Brown have in common?
A: Both possess the ability to cause
an entire football stadium to stand up
and scream, "Jesus Christ" in unison.
Yes, the young UNC football team
has hit rock bottom, which would lend
optimists to believe that the only direc
tion this team has to go is up. Luckily,
the Tar Heels will close out their season
with three games in the friendly con
fines of Kenan Stadium.
Unluckily, those last three games
will be against opponents (Clemson,
South Carolina and Duke) who boast a
combined record of 17-7-1. Thus, the
young Tar Heels have the chance to

experiment, try some new things in a
pressure-free environment and perhaps
try to pull off an upset victory or two .
. . or not.
See, that could prove very difficult
this weekend as the 1-7 Tar Heels a
team with a seven-game losing streak
and a 1-15 record in its last 16 ACC
games host the 7-2 and 21 st-ranked
Clemson Tigers in Kenan Stadium at
high noon Saturday afternoon. Clemson
is a 23-point favorite.
Clemson leads the ACC in scoring
offense (29 points per game) and scor
ing defense (giving up 14.2 points per
game). UNC is last in the ACC in
scoring offense (14.4 points per game)
and sixth in the conference in scoring
defense (24.3 points per game).
Even ever-optimistic UNC head
coach Mack Brown knows he has a
formidable task ahead. "Clemson plays
defense like sharks after bloody meat in
the water," Brown said.
But Clemson is reeling, sort of. After
coasting out to a 4-0 record and a No. 7
AP ranking, the Tigers lost to Duke
(21-17), beat Virginia, then lost to
Georgia Tech (30-14) and got kicked
out of the Top 20 for the first time in 4 1
weeks. Unless a whole slew of strange
events occur, Clemson will not win the
ACC title for the first time in four years.
But coach Danny Ford has the Ti
gers rolling again, with a 44-10 shel
lacking of Wake Forest last week and a
30-10 crushing of N.C. State the week
before. Clemson scored on its first sev en
possessions last week.
Seeing as Clemson lost to a weak
Georgia Tech squad earlier this year,
Ford is anything but overlooking the
Tar Heels. "We know that throughout
the '80s (Clemson-UNC) has been one
real fine football rivalry," Ford said
Tuesday. "I don't think the records of
either team will keep that from happen
ing again this weekend."
Records? No. The Clemson defense?
Yes. The simple fact of the matter is,
the UNC offense has scored only 115
points this year the worst in the
ACC. The Clemson defense has given
up only 128 points this year the best
in the ACC.
Clemson's defensive line anchors
the whole team. Averaging 6-4, 275
pounds, the line creates large problems
for the Tar Heel running game. Middle
guard Rob Bodine is a walk-on w ho has
come on to lead the line with 45 tackles.
At 6-7, 295, Tackle Vance Hammond
will also be tough to avoid.
The linebacking crew boasts the top
three tacklers on the squad in inside
linebacker Doug Brewster and OLs
Levon Kirkland and John Johnson.
But considering the fact that UNC's
largest problem has been passing, the
Clemson secondary should have a field
day. With 16 interceptions (to lead the
ACC), the Clemson secondary should
clean up. True freshman Robert O'Neal
leads the ACC and is 12th in the nation
with six interceptions.
With all this defense, it's a wonder
the Tigers need an offense. But they do,
and therein 1 ies the reason why Clemson
is not 9-0 rather than 7-2. They are
second-to-last in overall offense in the
ACC (UNC is, of course, last).
Rushing is definitely not the prob
lem. Clemson currently leads the ACC
in rushing with 210 yards per game.
Tailback Terry Allen needs just 254
yards to become Clemson's all-time
leading rusher, but he took only four
snaps last week and is not expected to
see a lot of action on Saturday. Joe
Henderson (lifth in the ACC with 505
yards on 112 carries) and fullback
Wesley McFadden (ninth in the ACC
with 369 yards) will have to carry the
weight.
While the backfield leads the kaeue
in rushing, the Clemson passing game
is second to last with only 152 yards peif
game. Senior Chris Morocco (63-10j
91 1 yards, five TDs, two int.), second!
in the ACC in passing efficiency?
doesn't have a whole lot of capable
targets: Clemson does not have a re-'
ceiver in the ACC's top 10.
Rodney Fletcher (26 receptions, 407
yards, 0 TDs) starts at wide receiver
with Gary Cooper (2 1 rec, 352 yards, 4
TDs) at flanker and Stacy Fields (11;
rec, 91 yards, 1 TD) at tight end. !
