It had been seven years since their last meeting, a dramatic North Carolina victory on a not-so-incredible shot by a man named Michael Jordan. That one gave the Tar Heels the national cham pionship. A lot has changed since then, but one song remains the same. John Thompson's Georgetown squad is still a hungry, aggressive bunch that can wreak havoc on even the most disci plined teams. They do it with defense, and Thurs day night the Tar Heels were their prey. The third-ranked Hoy as, led by twin towers Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo, rejected the 1 7th-ranked Tar Heels, 93-8 1 , in the battle between the top seed in the Big East-Atlantic Coast Conference basketball challenge series. Earlier in the evening, Virginia de feated Villanova by a 73-65 tally, forc ing the conferences to split the eight game series; Clemson, Georgia Tech, and N.C State joined Virginia as win ners for the ACC. UNC head coach Dean Smith watched his squad drop to 4-3 on the year the Tar Heels' slowest start since the 1982-83 season, when they opened a 28-8 year with a 3-3 record. Smith, though disappointed with the loss, said he didn't get caught up in the hype surrounding his meeting with Thompson, an old friend. "We were simply trying to get ready to play Georgetown in a regular season game," Smith said, "and we didn't do it very well. "We have a lot of work to do. We've played five NCAA tournament teams and we've lost to three of them. I just hope we can make the NCAA tourna ment and, by then, we should be pretty good."

"Getting past the BOT was the major step. Everything else should just fall into line. They (the BOT) didn't even question the proposal. After the pro posal had been read, questions from the board were asked for, and there weren't any. Brian (Tuttle, Delta Sigma Phi president) was really sweating then, because it looked like they weren't across N.C. abuzz with animna! withholding animal research docu ments. The ensuing court case will be heard in a Wake County court on Dec. 15. At UNC-Greensboro, the Animal Rights League, a protest group there, is also involved in a protest against ani mal research practices, according to League president Beth Gentry. For a year and a half, the League has held a formal protest every two weeks against the practices of Walter Salinger, an unrolls for played concern for their fellow man. "I wish that every student would come back from Christmas and bring a footlocker and keep their wallet locked in it," said Sgt. Ned Comar of Univer sity police. "I wish they (students) would call the police every time they see around their dorm someone who they feel doesn't belong there. I wish the women would not walk alone at night but (in stead) use the escort service. And I wish everyone a Merry Christmas." Canadian Student Body President Brien Lewis showed concern for the ability of North Carolinians to adapt to cold weather. He noted that North Carolina schools closed when the first snowflake was sighted. "I would like for North Carolina to learn how to deal with snow and enjoy it. In Canada, I've seen people cross country skiing just to get to work." Lewis also displayed characteristic concern for students' economic inter ests. "My No. 1 wish would be all finan cial burdens removed from every stu dent at UNC ... everyone on a full scholarship." As expected, administrators wanted only the best for students. Frederic Schroeder, dean of students, wished students a "safe, prosperous" holiday and added that he hoped for "an Don't run 1 vvv;-; X going to approve the house." The state will deed the property to Delta Sigma Phi fraternity while it builds the new house, and then the fraternity must deed it back once the house is completed. The state will then lease the house to the fraternity for 99 years. Delta Sigma Phi's new house will be built on the vacant lot behind Slug's at animal researcher who experiments on cats and kittens, Gentry said. Salinger's experiments are done in an effort to find a cure for amblyopia, or "lazy eye," a human condition that can be controlled with treatment, Gentry said. "We have talked to so many people who have the disease who say a cure is not necessary. They lead perfectly normal lives." There is no need to continue to sac UNC leaders in the early completion of all term papers and A-pluses on all final exams." Donald Boulton, vice chancellor and dean of student affairs, also wanted students to do well but set somewhat lower standards for the finals. "I wish for students to pass all of their exams." Ben Tuchi, vice chancellor of busi ness and finance, combined academic and athletic wishes and produced, "I'd like a national basketball champion ship with a team composed of students with a GPA of 3.5." On a realistic note, other people wanted better campus relations. "For the campus, I want racial unity," said Russell Dula, Black Greek Coun cil president. Another wish of Lewis' was "better understanding and cooperation through out the University community." Personal wishes inevitably worked their way into many of the interviews. Boulton, obviously a serious golfer, said, "I want a driver that will enable me to drive 300 yards off the tee." He added a putter to the list, requesting equally amazing things of it. Lewis added to his growing list, "A weekly talk show modeled on 'The Tonight Show,' with Dale McKinley and John W. Pope as the hosts.

Cooper said that construction would begin as soon as possible and that he hoped the fraternity would be able to move in by the 1991 academic year. Delta Sigma Phi members are now living in the old Zeta Beta Theta house. The Zeta Beta Theta national fraternity rifice animal lives for further experi mentation, Gentry said. Though they have "no problem with Salinger as a person," the League wants him to "go on to another phase of research." The Animal Rights League further argues that Salinger is teaching stu dents who are pursuing their masters' degrees in art, not in science, to experi ment on animals. No one without for mal education in science should oper ate on live animals, Gentry said.

Mom Up qetd veir pllamis Proposals for athletics receive mixed reviews By KENNY MONTEITH Staff Writer Some UNC coaches and athletes reacted with concern to the proposals in the Faculty Council Committee report released Wednesday. The report asked for severe changes in UNC athletics, including freshman ineligibility, grants-in-aid based on the sport's graduation rate and shorter ath letic seasons. "I think the faculty should be proud of the athletic department," said Sylvia Hatchell, women's basketball coach. "We've had such a good record here with 26 different sports." Ron Miller, UNC fencing coach, said he believed some athletic reforms were necessary and a good idea. "The extent of the reforms, I believe, are a result of those who abuse the rules, but we (UNC) don't abuse the rules. "It's a very good idea. The educa tional values of a team far exceed their win-loss record." Another reform in the report exam ined the SAT scores of athletes and recommended that the average SAT scores of UNC's out-of-state student athletes eventually be equal to the average SAT score of UNC's out-of-state students. The report also said the University should admit only 75 out-of-state ath letes whose SAT scores did not meas ure up to those of out-of-state students. Hatchell said it was hard enough for an out-of-state student-athlete to be accepted to UNC. "It's so hard to get into this school as an out-of-state student anyway, and will not" rent out its house next year because it plans to re-establish a chap ter at UNC. But the most important reason for moving is because . Delta Sigma Phi members want a new and better house, Tuttle said. "We want our own house. The one we have is 25 years old we want a newer and more modern house." Cooper said the plans for the house rights activist groups Controversy at Duke University has centered around businesses in Durham rather than a campus research depart ment. Amy Verreault, president of the SETA chapter at Duke, said the group was circulating a petition in opposition to more than 10 local stores that sell ivory products. Most of these are jew elry or department stores, including Belk Leggett, Sears, Ivey's and Mor gan Jewelers. last '80s at the lighting of a Christmas ao that would be really difficult for an out-of-state athlete." She said that the idea of giving the sports' grant-in-aid according to the graduation rate might be a good idea but that the grant-in-aid was the main, reason the athletes were here. r "That's a lot to consider," Hatchell said, referring to the report. "A lot needs to be looked at as far as the proposals." ; Liz Berg, a junior volleyball player from Arlington Heights, 111., called the; report a touchy subject. "The report may give athletes more respect instead of the typical stereotype' 'dumb jock.'" Berg also said it could' make the title "student-athlete" a truer statement. A minority of the committee recom- mended that grants-in-aid only be given? to men's football and basketball and" women's soccer and basketball. Berg called this recommendation crazy. "It's just not fair to the other sports As far as certain men's sports are con cerned, I can see that because they are revenue sports. "But there are so many other women's sports who do well, like the swimming team was ACC champions and the volleyball team was ACC cham pions too." While trying to implement various reforms on UNC athletics, the commit tee also suggested that the Educational Foundation, called the Rams Club, open its financial records to the public. Ralph Strayhorn, former president See PROPOSALS, page 7 hadn't been drawn up yet. "We don't have any specifications yet we're still looking at plans from several dif ferent contractors."

The goal of Duke's SETA protest is to halt the sale of ivory products at these establishments, Verreault added. N.C.
