2The Daily Tar HeelWednesday, October 7, 1992 Through it all, they still have the Fever for UNC sports By John Davies Staff Writer "Dismember them! Dismember them! Tear off their arms and legs!" Fervor ran high in the Carolina Fever section as the mikeman led the group like a skilled spiritual leader against the heinous fiends from N.C. State. Mem bers raised their fists and chanted, "Hit 'em again, hit 'em again, harder, harder." Sitting in a block beside the band at the 30-yard line, these die-hard fans stood throughout the entire game, dis playing cheering prowess unmatched by any other section of the stands. But this militant vigor is only one side of the fans sitting in this sea of Carolina blue. These Tar Heel faithful also seek to promote spirit in more subdued ways. Peppered with confetti commemorating a UNC touchdown, they started a wave and passed a hapless lV You need a 1 Test Prep to go with your no. 2 pencil.

Fever's goal since its creation in 1 986 has been to raise spirit at sporting events. This requires hard work out of the bleachers for the 370 members. The organization has initiated a Blue Blitz campaign in which members con struct a balloon tunnel for the football team to run through before the game. Members also help organize and over see pep rallies in the Pit and hand out fliers encouraging fans to wear blue to athletic events. For Homecoming, members will sell special T-shirts and will man the Friday Night Extravaganza on Franklin Street. In addition to helping with these ac tivities, Fever members pay $12 for a "Carolina Fever 1992" T-shirt. They also must attend non-revenue sports to assure themselves a seat in the Fever section during revenue-sports events. The big payoff is a hallowed seat for the Duke basketball game. Carolina Athletic Association Presi dent Tracy Kirincich cites Fever's sup port for non-revenue teams as instru mental to their success. "The women's volleyball team and women's soccer team have expressed that Fever is part of the team when they're there," she said. "They see the support that is be hind them." In addition to football and basketball games, most Fever members attempt to watch at least one non-revenue game per week. Some attend as many as three.

Freshman Kelly Goldsmith said: "They need the support just as much as other teams do. Having Fever at the game boosts their morale." Some faithful even seek to extend the geographic impact of the group by at tending away games. Most students associate Carolina Fever with the clever jibes they hurl at the opposition. The group had an expla nation for the cause of the Wolfpack victory. "I've got a rope. Oh, yeah! I've got a tree. Oh, yeah! So let's hang. Oh, yeah! That referee!" Through thick and thin, Fever mem bers remain loyal fans, as was apparent in the final seconds against State. "We still love you," they chanted in unison, to laud the hard-fought effort. The mikeman himself, senior Eric Bailey, especially praised Fever for their spirit. "Once they're in it, everybody's in it."
