Evans remains devoted
to keeping culture alive
By Ginger Meek
Assistant Features Editor
You can't judge a book by its cover ... or its title.
"My first name is not 'BSM president,'" said Sabrina
Evans, outgoing president of the Black Student Movement
(BSM). "I don't mean that to be negative, but that's just the
reality of it.'s
Evans said even though she had relished the experience of
being BSM president, she was looking forward to having
more time for other activities after incoming BSM President
Arnie Epps takes office this week.
"I really must admit I've got to get back into my studies and
try to focus in on what I like," she said. "I have to deal with
the issues that affect me I've been dealing all year with
issues that affect the University and the campus and I've
forgotten that there are issues that affect me."
A senior from Brooklyn, N.Y., majoring in speech com
munication with a minor in African and Afro-American
Studies, Evans said she would still be very concerned with the
activity of the BSM after she stepped off the presidential
platform. "I have to be, that's part of me, that's what I am."
She said her experience as BSM president would have
been very different if her concern about the issues of the
African-American community were not genuine. Her com
mitment to the issues was not just something she did as BSM
president, she said.
Hand-in-hand cooperation between Evans and the general
body of BSM members was the key to the year's success for
the organization, she said.
Communication and expression of agreement and dis
agreement alike within the organization produced a force of
teamwork that powered the BSM as it attempted to represent
the African-American campus population:
Being an effective student leader hinged on staying in
touch with the people being served by that leader, she said.
"People took a vested interest in the organization enough
to let us know when they didn't agree with something we
were doing. I really appreciated that," she said.
"The times that I didn't solicit the general body opinion as
much as I should have were the times I felt like I was leading
the organization, not representing it. That was much more
stressful and much more difficult and it wasn't as good for the
organization," she said.
"BSM is being left in very capable hands with Arnie.
Although he is a sophomore, his involvement in BSM rivals
the experience of people who have been involved in BSM for
years," she said.
Evans said she was in the process of deciding where to
attend graduate school. UNC and Northwestern University
are her choices. She will work toward a degree in performance
studies.
Performance studies involves performative aspects within

desBite Final Four lo
By Matthew Mielke
StaffWritcr
Despite the Tar Heels' loss in the NCAA Final
Four, Carolina basketball T-shirt sales continued
Monday, said UNC Student Stores employees.
About 4,000 shirts already have been sold at
prices from $10 to $12, said Phil Edwards, cloth
ing buyer for the Student Stores. The shirts boast
of the men's basketball team's first place finishes
in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament and
Eastern Region, and the teams' appearance in the
Final Four.
T-shirt sales for the month of March 1991 were
higher than in the past several years, Edwards said.
"Winning the ACC tournament really helped,"
he said. "When we won the tournament in '89 it
was hard to merchandise because the store was
undergoing renovations."
After Carolina defeated Duke in the 1991 ACC
tournament championship game, sales rose by 50
percent, he said.
"Ever since we won the ACC tournament, we
have received more business," he said, "It has been
a definite help."
The most popular style of T-shirt sold has been
an ACC 199 1 championship shirt with "UNC: 96,
Duke: 74" printed on them, Student Stores' cashiers
said.
Visitor Center

Visitors to the University will see the
effects of the state budget crisis first
hand if they try to seek information
from the UNC Visitor's Center.
The center, which is located in the
Morehead Planetarium, has been closed
for three weeks, said Clifton Metcalf,
University News Services director.
B ill Massey , associate vice chancellor
for University relations, said the center
was closed because of a lack of per
sonnel. "The Visitor's Center is a one-person
operation," he said. "That individual
decided she wanted to go into a private
business of her own."
Vacant positions at the University
cannot be filled now because of a state
wide hiring freeze, Massey said.
"With a one-person shop, you have
to close down your operation," he said.
"The state twice turned down (requests
to fill the position). It's not a value
judgment, but the reality of the situation
the state is facing."
Mike Gaddis, director of the work
force reserve division for the Office of
State Personnel, said state agencies
wanting to fill vacancies must give
reasons to justify filling them.
"It is not an absolute and automatic
freeze, but there are some stringent con
straints," he said.
No exceptions exist for programs run
by only one person, he said. "It's all tied
in with the severe revenue shortfall.
There are no general exceptions and no
special exceptions. It depends on the
extent to which the need for the position
can be justified."
Massey said volunteers on the
center's staff could not keep the Visitor's
Center open on their own.
"Day to day it's not a legitimate use
of our volunteers to take charge of all
visitor services," he said. "Their place
is not in the daily grind."
Massey said he hoped the center
would reopen when funds were avail
able. "It is only temporarily closed," he
said. "It's not our intention to see it
closed in any permanent sense."
"We're going to do everything we
can to meet visitor needs, but we have to
be honest and say we're trying to do it
with one hand tied behind our backs, at
least temporarily."
The center's staff is responsible for
giving campus tours and providing in
formation about the University and
Chapel Hill.
Center employees make special tour
arrangements for corporate groups,
visitors who speak foreign languages,
and other interest groups.
Edwards said the 1991 Eastern Regional T
shirts were the second most popular shirts sold.
, NCAA Final Four shirts have not sold as well as
the other T-shirts, but the store did sell 50 or 60
Monday, he said. '
One of the reasons the ACC and Eastern Re
gional styles of T-shirts have sold so well is that
Carolina Connection, the shirts' producer, was
able to get the shirts to the Student Stores shortly
after the games, Edwards said.
Both styles of shirts were at the stores by 8:00
a.m. trie days after the games were played.
Carolina Connection began creating designs
for prospective ACC tournament champions be
fore the tournament actually began, Edwards said.
He saw a design for the UNC shirt four days before
the Tar Heel's victory in the championship game,
Edwards said.
A company operating out of Indianapolis and
Cincinnati supplied Student Stores with the Final
Four T-shirts. The shirts were shipped March 26,
the same day UNC defeated Temple to earn a spot
in the Final Four.
"The final four shirts came in Thursday (March
28) morning," Edwards said. "Everything was
planned. Most of the final four shirts are generic."
The increase in sales helps students as well as

.Bookstore reopens
6 weeks after slaying
By Nancy Johnson

The reopening of Internationalist
Books yesterday brought in an average
amount of business for a Monday, said
Maria Poplin, a store volunteer.
"We haven't gotten slammed, but
we' ve been pretty busy all day," Poplin
said.
Internationalist Books had been
closed since Feb. 21 when the store's
owner, Bob Sheldon, was shot in the
store. He died the next day at UNC
Hospitals. Chapel Hill police have not
found the assailant or discovered a
motive.
Six weeks after Sheldon's murder,
Internationalist Books is being run by
a staff of volunteers and operating as a
taxable, non-profit corporation under
the guidance of a nine-member board
to be chosen by members of the In
ternationalist Books Committee.
Business is running smoothly with
about 1 0 volunteers coming in to work
this week, and customers feel com
fortable that the store is being run with
care, Poplin said.
"The business itself is really under
control," she said. "There's nothing
here that either I or one of the other
volunteers couldn't handle."
But the number of hours the store
can remain open is limited.
Internationalist Books is open 1 1
a.m. -3 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays; 3-6 p.m. Tuesdays and
Thursdays; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays;
and 1-5 p.m. Sundays.
The limited number of hours could
affect business, Poplin said.
"I think that's going to limit the
amount of business we do," she said.
But the store could be open for regular
hours with a full-time staff in about a
month, she added.
More than 200 other volunteers have
offered to work in the store, and a
group of about five people are calling
the volunteers and getting them or
ganized to help, Poplin said. The store
will have a permanent paid staff as
soon as possible.
The most important thing was to
keep the store open. Poplin said. It
would be ridiculous to keep the store
closed without a strong reason or un
less some solid evidence of danger
existed, she said.
After overcoming some initial un
easiness, Poplin said she felt fairly
comfortable in the store.
"I was here all last week taking
inventory, and there was a suspicion
in the back of my head that someone
was going to call and say 'If you
reopen the store we're going to fire
bomb it,' but that didn't happen,"
Poplin said.
Jayliawksc, mli9 Bef take NCAA Ititl
By Jamie Rosenberg

INDIANAPOLIS In a tremendous
show of grit and poise, the Kansas
Jay hawks completed a miracle cham
pionship run by downing the Duke Blue
Devils 72-65 Monday night in the
NCAA final.
A Hoosier Dome crowd of 47,185
witnessed a ferocious Kansas team
thoroughly frustrate Duke's disciplined
attack at both ends of the court. The
Jayhawks never trailed, shooting 56.1
percent from the floor while forcing the
Blue Devils into 41.5 percent shooting
and 14 turnovers.
April Fools.
Reverse the numbers, and reverse the
story. The Blue Devils (32-7) are the
1991 NCAA champions.
A Duke team on a mission held off a
starry-eyed Kansas squad (27-8) that
never quite reached the Blue Devils'
level of talent, desire or intensity.
Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley &
Co. provided coach Mike Krzyzewski
with Duke's first ever national title, an
(Bo 7265
elusive crown the Blue Devils have crept
toward since Krzyzewski arrived in
Durham 1 1 years ago.
"It feels really good to finally win a,
game in April," Krzyzewski said.
Duke had reached eight previous Fi
nal Fours and four previous champion
ship games before locking up a title.
Krzyzewski had brought his team to the
last three Big Dances but never exited
with a championship ring.
"We're happy Coach K got the mon
key off his back," Duke sophomore Brian
Davis said.
The Blue Devils led from the outset,
tantalizing a pesky Jayhawk team by
repelling every KU run with a run of
their own. Leading by as many as 14
points in the second half, Duke allowed
the Jayhawks spurts of 8-1 and 6-0 in
the final 6:09, but Kansas simply ran
out of time, failing to come closer than
70-65 with 33 seconds to play.
Laettner and Hurley capped sparkling '
individual performances throughout the
tournament with relentless efforts
Monday, each earning a spot on the
1991 all-tournament team.
But the two Duke staples were joined
by an unlikely contributor, sophomore
guard Billy McCaffrey. McCaffrey
came off the bench to hit 6 of 8 shots and
pour in 1 6 points, rekindling a fire that
had made him Duke's leading scorer
early in the season.
"He picked a great game to just show
his stuff again," Krzyzewski said. "If he
doesn't come through for us like that,
I'm not sure we would have been able to
score that much."
Laettner tied KU's Mark Randall for
the game's scoring lead with 18 points.
The junior center, named the
tournament's Most Outstanding Player,
hit all 1 2 of his free throw attempts and
grabbed 10 rebounds.
Hurley, who never cracked under the
Jayhawks Carolina-esque pressure,
added 12 points and nine assists, defy
ing every defense Kansas coach Roy
Williams threw his way.
"Basically, everything we tried to do
in the game they had an answer for,"
Williams said. "We tried to pressure
them, but they handled it. On the free
throw line, they made free throws. They
had the total package tonight."
Duke's sizzling 23-of-41 shooting
performance made up for the Devils 18
turnovers and 32-3 1 rebounding deficit.
Senior Greg Koubek, the only player
ever to appear in four Final Fours, set
the tone for the Blue Devils by nailing a
3-pointer from the left wing 28 seconds
into the game.
From then on, Duke controlled every
aspect, letting the Jayhawks come within
one point before ballooning the lead to
42-34 at the half. In the second period,
a confused Jayhawk offense managed
just 38-percent shooting while
McCaffrey's nine points helped push
Duke's lead to 61-47 with 8:30 to play.
The 3-point shooting of guard Terry
Brown sparked a Jayhawk comeback
attempt that brought KU within 66-59
with 2:07 play. But Laettner and Hurley
each hit two free throws in the next
minute to put the game out of reach.
"There wasn't any time during the
game when I thought we were out of
control," Laettner said. "It was mainly
our defense. That was what prevented
them from coming all the way back."
Brown and point guard Adonis Jor
dan joined Randall as KU's double
figure scorers.
Brown, who hit two treys in the
Jayhawks' comeback run, finished with
16 points. Jordan had 11 points but
turned the ball over three times and had
just three assists against Hurley's de
fense. t
As Krzyzewski concluded his post
game news conference, he mulled over
the future of a team certain to be ranked
No. 1 heading into 1991-92: "I wonder
when we'll do it again."
