Thanks in part to the Henry Luce Foun· dation, the adage that religion and politics don't mix no longer holds true at Wake Forest . . The foundation has given the university

$75,000 to finance a threefold study of "Religion and the Social Crisis."

. · The grant provides for a three-year in· terdisciplinary program (religion and politics in 1981, religion and anthropology in 1982 and religion and psychology in 1983), a summer institute for professors and clergymen and a series of faculty symposia.

This year's course is taught by Ralpli Wood, assistant professor of religion, and· Jon Reinhardt, associate professor of politics. The class examines the benefits · and dangers inherent in our American religion.

Unfortunately, it is easier to complement God than to serve as His agent of redemption, Lawson said. "We muffle the voice of con· science and invent ingenious and intricate rituals, dogmas and symbols and we plaster them all over the world like campaign posters." ·

Today's Christians are given a fragmentary view of their role and calling, Lawson said. "Baptists prize their freedom, but true freedom is a Biblical paradox. ,

"Martin Luther illustrates that 'paradox well: 'A Chris.tian is the most free lord of all, and subject to none; a Christian is the most dutiful servant . of · all, . and subject to everyone.'"

As prophets, Americans cannot ignore hunger, poverty and racial, national or sexual oppression, Lawson said. He reminded the audience of Hitler's reign of terror. "Who helped to slaughter six million Jews? All who 'did not protest."

Students to sit

in Greensboro

Victor Hastings AIOOCia18 odiiDI

Students attending next year's ACC home basketball games in Greensboro Coliseum will have courtside seats as a result of a decision by the Student Athlt>tic Committee Wednesday.

The decision was initiated by · athletic director Gene Hooks after students voiced complaints about seating in a forum held Tuesday in. Reynolda Main Lounge.

Wood defines this American faith as "the unofficial, unspoken, unwritten religion of the Republic, the idea that America is a specially destined ·nation." Nor will prophets be "blind to .the easy

About 2500 student seats have been allotted for next year, most of which are between the end lines and behind the benches, assistant athletic director Jon LeCrone said. Overflow seating will extend into the lower-level corners of the stadium.

American ·civil religion is both good and evil, he explained, noti'ng the ideals of the state · justice, liberty, honesty and decency · are those to which all can aspire.

Extended visitation hours WF dancers plan concert SLC to consider plan. Mary Dalton

Sto"wrlter

The faculty Student Life Committee (SLC) will consider a Student Government proposal to extend visitation hours Monday, SG president Dave Middleton said.

The measure would extend visitation hours and eliminate open house activities. The proposed hours are 5 p.m.·l a.m. Friday, noon·1 a.m. Saturday and 1·6 p.m. Sunday.

SG Campus Life Committee members are critical of the activity presently required for open house privileges.

Steve Beam called the activity a means to an end. "You can't for· m ulate a policy and expect it to last forever. You have to change with the times," Beam said.

The expected passage of an SG's alcohol awareness bill by the SLC will open the way to

I

discuss visitation policy, Middleton said.

Other plans for SG include the scheduling of more open forums. Citing the success or last fall's midweek party forum, Middleton plans forums on academic affairs, the athletic department's recent decisions and alternatives for a student center.

The Sesquicentennial Campaign granted $240,000 for student needs and buildings. That money will probably be used for short-term needs such as renovation, Middleton said.

He is working on in-. elusion in future grants and fund-raisl!rs to help satisfy the long-term goal, a separate student center.

SG is also working on a proposal for the WF Traffic Commission to relieve parking problems, Middleton said.

The main problem is the lack of parking spaces, Middleton said. The proposal would extend the student parking lot behind Bostwick Dorm and make parking on Faculty Drive diagonal instead of parallel. Some of the spaces designated for day students would be tramferred from their preserrt location, Mid· dleton said.

One SG bill previously passed but never enacted will go into effect this semester. All books left overnight on desks in the library stacks during midterms and finals will be collected and placed in a fourth floor bin for retrieval.

Several bills were passed at the SG meeting Feb. 3. One requests the university to develop

' plans for an Inter-Society Council building or for society rooms in the student center.

The WF'Dance Company, directed b>' Debbie David, is busy getting ready for its annual spring concert to be presented on Feb. 21' and 28. The performance is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. in the main theatre of the Scales Fine Arts Center:

The dance company, now in its sixth year, focuses on modern dance with some ballet technique included.

The company owes· its existence to David, who came to Wake Forest in 1975 ~hen there were very few opportunities for dancers on campus.

Only one modern dance class was offered, .and only one group existed for dancers.

David formed the company to provide more opportunities for those who want to perform in dance, express .their creativity and improve their techmques.

David began teaching technique classes exclusively for company members and then added beginning, intermediate and advanced dance technique classes to the WF curriculum.

Auditions for. the dance company are. held in the fall and are open to anyone connected with the university. In the past, the company has consisted of 10 to 16 members, both male and female.

Participating in the dance company is a time-consuming commitment for the members. Work on the spring concert . -

begins two or three months pri~r to . presentation. Some of the more advanced dancers in the group not only perform in the concert but also help to produce the performance.

David likes for the members to the plan much of the concert. "I just supervise. I don't want to turn out molds of dancers just like me," David said.

She wants to help the dancers improve their techniques and gain ex_perience as well as developing their own talents ..

The company offers a tour of lecture demonstrations in the Forsyth County school system each year. The demon· strations are usually held in the fall for elementary through senior high groups.

They give the group exposure and extra performing experience as well as helping audiences to be more receptive to and knowledgeable about dance, David said: ·

Most members of the company have taken some dance before coming to Wake Forest, but it's usually just something_ they love to do, David said.

"They perform as professionally 'as possible. This isn't just some'thing­slopped together," David said.

Tickets are $2 for student's and $2.50 for the public, and may be obtained by contacting David or one of the eleven company members. Tickets will also be available at the door.

German student wins scholarship

Sophomore Karl Daniel Heininger, a politics and German double major, was recently awarded the 1981-82 WF exchange scholarship at the Free University of Berlin.

The WF debate team has fared well this year, placing in the top five at five major tournaments throughout the U.S.

The top two-man team, sophomore David Cheshier and senior Mike Knish recently · placed third in a national tournament at the University of Utah.

The team's next goal is to qualify for a national tournament in Los Angeles, Calif., this April. To qualify, they must place in the top five of the 30 teams in this district. Teams from Emory, UNC·Chapel Hill, Vanderbilt and Kentucky will participate.

"This district is by far the strongest in the country, but since we've

A British debate, hosted by the WF debate team, the SCTA depart· ment and the Inter· national Committee of Discussion and Debate will be held Feb. 23 in the Ring Theatre.

The subject, "This house views with dismay the election of Ronald Reagan," will be af· firmatively debated by Knish and Nicholas Mostyn of Bristol University.

The negative argument will be presented by Cheshier and Charles Gallagher of Cambridge University.

The growing political and religious influence of television evangelists was analyzed last Thursday by Benjamin Bedenbaugh, professor of New Testament at Lutheran Theological Seminary.

At the afternoon seminar and banquet Bedenbaugh played tapes of religious broadcasters such as Jerry Falwell, leader of the Moral Majority; Jim Bakker, host of the "PTL Club;" and Robert Shuller, host of "The Hour of Power" (now the Crystal Cathedral Ministry).

"As a media buff, I wondered what was happening to the Christian church in the media," Bedenbaugh said.

To be a true member of the New Christian Right, one must believe in prayer in public schools and biblical inerrancy and oppose· abortion ·gun control, recognition of Red China,'sALT II, ERA and pornography. "My English teacher would say these were people bo~n in the objective case," Bedenbaugh sa1d.

The various television movements share many similar elements Beden· baugh said, including a call for' national repentance, use .of the telephone selective biblical literalism and a "pitch to the pocketbook."

Tv· evangelicals claim they refer converts to acceptable churches in the born·again Christian's area but ministers of mainstream church~s are worried, he said.

Christian groups offer

fellowship for students Catherine Frier

SIIHwrller

A weekly schedule of campus activities offers students many chances for Christian fellowship. Several hundred students regularly take. advantage of these ~portunities, participating• in weekly services, l.campus organizations, 'religious education or Bible. study.

The number and\ype of campus Christiart- ac· tivities have changeu as the character '.and background of the 'WF · student body hav~ become more diverse. ·,

Less than 30 percent of the student population is Baptist, therefore, many inter-denominational and denominational services are offered. Catholics congregate in Davis Chapel for mass every Sunday at B p.m. and Episcopalians celebrate the Eucharist every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. Man-y other denominations have representatives on campus or are in the process of procuring them. · Thursday Chapel services, though no longer mandatory~ are still held every week at 11 a.m. in Davis Chapel.

Prayer services are also held there every weekday morning at 8:15. · -

The Baptist Student Union (BSU) is the oldest religious organization on

.campus. About a decade ago, new Christian groups formed and joined BSU on campus. They include Inter· Varsity Christian Fellowship, the 'catholic Student Association, Seekers, Black Christian Fellowship and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

The main activity fol;' BSU is a Horizon meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday but the BSU offers students many chances for ministry through working in local churches, going to elderly communities and prisons, singing in a choir and raising money for summer missions.

The largest religious organization on campus' is Inter-Varsity. About 250·300 members meet every other Friday _,night in Reynolda Main Lounge, usually to sing and· listen to a speaker.

This group is sub· divided into m~y action groups that meet weekly for prayer and Bible study.

The newly·formed Catholic Student Association meets every Wednesday at 9 p.m. in the BSU lounge. Mem· hers of the association participate in services, plan service projects and host speakers.

Another relatively new group, the Black Christian Fellowship, is currently re-organizing.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes meets on Thursdays in the lounge of the gymnasium. The FCA organized a relay last semester in· volving all of the campus Christian organizations.

Seekers is a new group designed to encourage interaction between students and young career people. The students benefit from contact with the outside world that awaits them, and the members from Winston-Salem have an opportunity to further explore their faith and discuss the challenges they have faced.

"At the religious level it means that the young adult is able to ask much more precise questions," university chaplain Ed· Christman said.

Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Social Over the past several

months, the editorial page of the Old Gold and Black has been spattered with letters adamantly protesting Wake Forest's archaic social policy.

Students have cited the divisiveness and isolation inherent in the segregation of the sexes on campus and the vandalism which results from the social frustration as some major problems of the present social policy.

Yet these problems are just symptoms; they are not the disease. The disease is the regressive philosophy of "in loco parentis" which deter· mines not only where students live, but also how they live.

Midweek parties, dating frustrations and the hours of visitation dominate con· versa lion.

Again, only symptoms and not the disease. And the disease must be treated.

The social life of the typical student presently centers on fraternity parties and campus movies • activities which certainly are not conducive to the intellectual interplay of ideas.

It is undeniable that the social policy has resulted in the c.omplete divorce of the social and academic realms. Under the terms of the divorce, only unnatural stagnation can result. Without the union of the academic and social worlds, the university cannot hope to produce mature, thinking

·progeny. Decisions are being made for

the student, not by the student. Present policy not only

separates the academic and the social; it also. imperils the academic. There can be no interplay of ideas when discussion is arbitrarily limited to the classroom and the Pit.

The social philosophy must be overhauled and aligned with a suitable policy for the full and normal development of the individual. If the disease has been diagnosed, then proper

disease steps to cure it must be taken. And it is curable:

Students: Concentrate on the implicati.ons of the disease, not just the symptoms. Gain some respect through reasoned letters to the OG&B and rational discussions with Reynolda Hall. Think beyond your four years and realize that the present policy detracts from your education, not only from your weekend dates. Voice your dissatisfaction.

Student Government: Though your powers for policy­making powers are limited, develop an articulate statement of social policy from the student perspective. Base it on a progressive, reasoned ap· proach to the full development of the student. Submit this statement to the student body in a referendum so the students will have an official voice in their struggle.

Faculty: You are the force of continuity and stability in the community. Realize that the 'intelfectual development of the student depends on his social satisfaction. A frustrated and embittered student is not a student. Offer the students your open support for the nor· malization of the social policy. Stick your neck out,

Admiaistration: Acknowl-edge the divorce of the academic and social realms, a separation which impairs the process of education. Consider present policy and its inherent limiting effects. Formulate and articulate a coherent, con· sistent social philosophy, one not founded on an educational myopia but one with the long· range best interests of the students in mind. Note the healthy atmosphere of the alternative housing programs. Clear1y express the im· plications of social policy in literature for prospective students so they will not enter Wake Forest blindly.

Seek to cure the enervating disease: do not resort to inef· fectual placebos.

Letters to the editor

SWAT opposes Afro-Am action Your Afro-American Society has

produced a confrontation which made your campus racial problems public property. That was a mistake.

As this society will soon learn, the removal of a Confederate flag which hung harmlessly from a window was a cowtter-productive effort.

A rally has been planned which will be held in Winston-Salem on the Fourth of July. At this rally the Klan will be seeking racial justice and fair play.

Winston-Salem's three black city aldermen, including the Black Panther who gained political power through armed conflict with local police and who maintained close ties with the Communists who attacked the Klan in Greensboro, will be presented to the public in a new light.

They will be in the position of defending their acceptance of racial injustice, embezzlement, mismanagement, falsification of records and character assassination.

This·area and the nation will get a look at an untold side of the Klan· black conflict.

They will learn something about the distinction between a Klan attack on blacks simply because they are black and Klan attacks on blacks who are promoting com· munistic doctrine.

General Lee's opponents fought -under the American flag. That side represented the interests of those responsible for bringing the slaves to America. . Would your Afro·American Society also recommend that the

Heroism After reading of the altercation

concerning the Kappa Alpha flag, I felt perhaps I could provide a different view on the matter. ·

I proudly display a Confederate flag in my room (although I am not a KJ\) for the following reasons:

The stars and bars represent for me a time of heroism, the heroism of my !;lreat·great·gran~fath.er. This man owned no slaves and few acres of land.

Yet he served the Confederate States of America, not to secure the position of that peculiar institution, but to protect the rights of the state of North Carolina as he saw them.

I associate my flag with childhood memories of wearing my grandfather's metals and con· templating what he went. through.

This flag also means newspaper accounts of my great grand­mother's farm being raided by Northern soldiers. These men took her pet chicken and returned it as they left, after being moved by a child of five sitting in the dirt crying over a stolen pet. These soldiers left little else, however.

1 offer my explanation of displaying the flag of my ancestors in an attempt to shed light· to an alternative view to those offended.

While some can associate this symbol with racism and bigotry, others relate this flag to brave men who fought and died for what they believed in · states' rights.

Nonsupport .we want to charge the WF fans

With verb~l non-support of a truly great basketball team. The recent Maryland game was a prime example of this lack of enthusiasm.

The public admonishment by Jay Venuto succeeded not only in erasing the vulgarities our students have become infamous for, but it also erased our home court advantage.

· As Coach Tacy was quoted in the · Winston-Salem Journal, "It was a flat crowd." Ttie Journal article referred to the silence as "the deathly quiet of Memorial Coliseum."

Those of us who waited in line seventeen hours to get front row tickets lost most of our spirit

. because the block of graduate school students seated behind us.

They refused to stand during the game and . were constantly screaming for us to sit down. What would they do at Duke or Notre Dame where the students stand for the entire game?

We would also like to know when UNC became a school for saints. The article taken from The Daily Tar Heel describes the Carolina fans as the kindest fans to opposing teams.

If that is the case, could that really have been a fight at the end of the UNC • Virginia game?

We want to take this opportunity to challenge the WF students to be the rowdiest ever at the remaining home games. You can be sure we

Angry fan

I am both confused and angered by your February 6, 1981 " ... glass of the finest..." article (Will the real Deacon basketball fan please stand up?) by Phil Hrichak.

I am one of the fans that sit at courtside for the games and I am angered by the claim that I am "too passive." I am also angered by the caption under the ac· companying photograph. In it a group of fans are seen cheering the team during the Wake-Carolina game.

I am in that photograph and am upset when the caption-claims that this is "in a rare moment of en· thusiasm."

I cheer our team whether we are winning or losing. I scream and yell and support our team in every other way, but I'm. not writing this letter to apologize or to explain my behavior.

The Pit I am writing to praise the Pit for

an excellent job. I not only continue to feel that the quality and ap· pearance of the food presented here is far superior to that of most other universities, but I .also find that it continues to improve.

I, like the majority of . the Jtudents, have my complaints about the cafeteria, yet I feel that the obvious efforts on the part of the people running it to please the students should be applauded.

I particularly include their openness for suggestions for im· provements; their weekly specials; their treats around homecoming, including cotton candy, foot-long hotdogs and make· your-own shortcake; and their effort to add a festive atmosphere to the place on 'Halloween by dressing up in costumes.

The system of payment used here is also to be commended. It alleviates the problem of waste that is found in most all·you·can· eat cafeterias, as well as not placing partial financial cost of the heavy eater. on those who eat less (as the all-you·can·eat meal plan would).

The computer system recently installed is another positive at· tribute of the system. It allows for what, in my opinion, is usually very fast service.

I would also like to add that before students complain about the high costs of the food, they should look aroUnd the campus, both in· side and outdoors, at the numerous · plastic Pit cups that have been taken and never returned. ·

This is not to mention the silverware and trays· that are also borrowed from the pit.

Circle K

There are a wide range of campus organizations available to the WF student, from social groups (fratemities and societies) to special interest groups (marketing societY).

In the search for an activity outside of the academics of Wake Forest there exists an organization which I feel many students overlook. ·

This organization offers college men and women opportunities for service to the campus and com· munity, leadership and fellowship. The organization which I am referring to is Circle K.

During February 15·21, Circle K will be observing a special week in order to make the public aware of the club and its activities. The main objective of Circle K is service to others.

Projects such as tutoring at the Children's Home, taking nursing home patients to the fair, providing a haunted house for handicapped

As I said, I'm confused by the article and that's why I'm writing this letter. Phil Hrichak made several accusations about the passivity of the fans at courtside which appear to be un· substantiated on a consistent basis.

All I am asking for is a simple explanation. Was the article simply full of ill-aimed inac· curacies (as I suspect) or was the article merely a piece of poor journalism on the part of Phil Hrichak?

Participating in such service projects · has proved to be a valuable learning experience for myself_ and others involved in

. Circle K. Self-esteem and a sense' of accomplishment are some of the rewards for service.

The complaint is. often heard that

Minority 'surplus' hard to find I would like to respond· to th~

recent article and the ac· companying cartoon which ap· peared in your column on Jan. 30. ·

The article was written by your sports editor, David Poole and dealt with "rowdy, abusiv~ and obnoxious behavior at college basketball games."

·the ·college student today is apathetic and self-centered. Members of Circle K seek to dispel this stereotype, with more than 13,000 students in the U.S., Canada, Jamaica and other countries ac· tively participating in service projects for children, the elderly, health concerns and the campus.

I would like to make a few re~arks regarding three letters whtch appeared in the last two editions of the Old Gold and Black two by Mr. Broyles and one by Mr: Eckert. . It was d_isheartening to read such til-conceiVed, illogical and un· time!y articles. After the first readmg, I thought that both gen· tlemen's arguments were trite outd.ated and obviously self: servmg and that they did not merit a response.

But alas, being one for the few "J!nd~r9ualified and overpaid mmor1bes" about which Mr Eckert wrote, I could not let th~ arguments put forth by these two

_gentlemen go unchallenged. ·

It is mind-boggling to think that in the '80s we still have people with their heads so firmly embedded in a cosmic black hole as those two gentlemen.

The statement that Mr. Broyles makes regarding Wake Forest's surplus, rather than shortage of minorities and women on the faculty, is mere ignorance on his part.

True, it is quite difficult to determine from data coming from the Equal Opportwtity Office what the figures regarding the numbers of minorities and women are on campus, but all Mr. Broyles has to do is open his eyes and take a good look around him.

There are five blacks on this campus: one administrator and four black faculty members. The four black faculty represent a 100 percent increase over what we had last year.

There are four Hispanics, and five Asians. Therefore, out of 231 plus faculty members, minorities comprise a mere six percent.

Women comprise only 22 percent of that same total. Where is the surplus, Mr. Broyles?

These percentages represent low figures based on the national availability of both minorities and women with Ph.D.'s in their respective disciplines in the country.

It appears that many people in the majority population equate Affirmative Action with the ad· mission of, or the hiring of, unqualified minorities in

preference to more qualified majorities.

For Wake Forest this has never been the case, either in the ad· mission of students or in the hiring of black faculty.

All one has to do is look at the credentials of the black faculty who are here to dispel that notion.

With rel{ard to students, one should remember that not all of the brightest students have ever been able to enroll at Wake Forest. This was wen before Ed Reynolds came on the scene in the early 60s.

To validate this statement all one has to do is look at the number of children of faculty, staff, ministers, trustees and friends of the university with less than sterling records who have been enrolled at Wake Forest over the last fifty years.

Mr. Eckert wants us to believe that he is only after justice under the law for all persons involved and that he is not a racist. However, the obvious self-serving tone of his arguments leads one to believe that he is after justice for the majority only and that he is jn fact a closet racist.

He appears to be obsessed with the idea that all minority students are less well prepared than are white students and that all minority faculty in "Dr. Palmer's Pet Program" are underqualified and overpaid.

I would suggest that both gen­tlemen have their heads so firmly embedded in that black hole that neither is capable, or willing to, engage in logical or rational discourse regarding either Affirmative Action or racial issues.

Both gentlemen need to take a broader, more impersonal look at the issues and leave those arguments fraught with inac-­curacies, inconsistencies and personal self-serving discourse to the trtje right wing, ultra· conservative politicians.

It is time that you remove your ·heads from that vacuum and view the world as it really is, not the way you, in your own narrow per­spective, pe1·ceives it to be.

HermanEure Department of biology

I certainly hope that Mr. Poole did not injure himself as he went out of his way to point out Wake Forest as the main culprit.

The fact is that these somewhat slanderous charges were aimed at all other ACC schools with the certain exception of your own beloved alma mater.

I found the innocence that you bestowed upon yourselves in both the article and cartoon to be ludicrous at best. The halo pictured over the Carolina student's head tops all of your assumptions.

I don't deny that WF students become involved and excited when cheering for their top· ranked team but_ please don't be so gullible as t~ believe that you have convinced this university's students of your

This year's theme is "Caring ... Life's Magic," which is what Circle K is all about, caring.

We are very proud of our organization and encourage you to consider Circle K in your search for an outlet from your studies.

Also, I would like to urge you, the students of Wake Forest, to care about others, and to become in· volved _in the many campus and community activities open to you.

Many college students are making meaningful contributions to the campus and community. It is very simple to do. All it takes is a little time, initiative and a generous amount of caring.

Skepticism concerrling the value and nec'etl~tt of Affirmative Acti'on programs has been

There is a tendency among too many people to disregard the im­portance of historical factors in the dev.elop­ment of present political, social and economic realities. Those who choose to neglect history cannot possibly un­derstand the significance and necessity of Affirm­ative Action programs.

The dire plight of the majority of black people in this country (reduced almost to a permanent underclass) is not an accident, nor is it the result of inferiority or inherent laziness. These deplorable conditions, economic and social, are

the result of historical practices of discrimination and op­pression.

While the majority of blacks were being ex­ploited for menial labor, the white male was taking control of all the wealth and power in American society. This capitalistic practice is known as elimination of the competition. Affirm· ative Action programs are an attempt to correct historical wrongs and to finally start America on the road to fulfilling the ideal of equal opportunity for all men. This idea of equal opportunity needs further elaboration.

Some nostalgic souls, like Dr. Broyles, feel Affirmative Action is the antithesis of the concept of equality (of op­portunity) as it is referred to in the Declaration of

Independence. He would even argue that Affir· mative Action programs impede our progress towards fulfillment of this ideal.

At the heart of this assertion is the belief that ~ffirmative Action, which recognizes and benefits people as members of social groups, is contradictory to the individualistic notion of equality in the Declaration.

For over three hundred years black people have not been rewarded on the basis of individual merit and qualifications, but rather . have been degraded and discriminated against because of their mem· bership in a particular racial group.

During this period of discrimination there was no possibility of achieving the American

a member of that minority.

If. a white student cannot understand,· however, he should at "least empathize. The KAs seem to be trying to do this.

Either take the flags down, or only fly them during special KA events or functions.

By doing this, the flag would probably begin to mean something more understandably special to the KAs but still not be a constant slap in the face to the black students. This would seem to be a reasonable compromise.

"Five Screaming Niggers:" Very, very poor timing. It is bad enough that the show is done any time, much less at the present time. The timing shows a blatant disrespect for the feelings

of black WF students. Yes, the party ·was

closed,· but the harm is done in depicting blacks in a demeaning way whether the black students themselves see it or not.

By conducting open forums and discussions and by airing views through the media, everyone can be better educated on the issue of minority rights.

These forums, discussions and programs will not heal this problem by them­selves, though. It will take individual effort by each student, as well as a commitment from the university administration for leadership and direction.

correct znJustzce ideal of individual equality. It is only within the context of social "equality (aimed at by prograJDs such as Affirmative Action) that individual merit can be recognized. Dr. Broyles makes this point more eloquently than I when he says "equality is essential to us because it allows merit to reveal itself."

In the Bakke case, the Supreme Court ruled racial quota systems were discriminatory (against white people) and illegal, but it also condoned admissions systems that recognize race as one factor among others, such as geographic origin and athletic ability, in its attempt to create a diverse student body.

This is a significant point which is too often overlooked. In the ad-

miSSions policy of most major universities, in­cluding Wake Forest, considerable attention is paid.to a student's ability to contribute something in areas outside the classroom.

I would argue that black students at a predominantly white institution play a significant part in this learning process. In the College Student Journal, Ralph Erickson says:

The Deacons lost back·to·back games in Georgia, losing 84-47 to Georgia State Monda)· night and 78·62 to Georgia Tech Tuesday night. The Deacs' record fell to 9·15.

national champion. The win was especially important to Wanda Briley who has developed quite a rivalry with the team she once coached.

"It was a very emotional victory, her (Briley's) biggest victory," Bailey said. "It meant more to her than the national title she won at High Point."

The victory was also very important to the team. "We proved to ourselves we could beat a good team. We had come awfully close in the past, but always came up a bit short," Bailey said.

CHAPEL HILL-Wake Forest strolled into North Carolina's Carmichael Auditorium Wednesday night with a low-key approach, but im· mediately caught fire at the opening tip-off and went on to destroy the Tar Heels, 84-68.

The Deacons controlled the game from the outset, as they rocketed to 11n early 14·4 lead and then proceeded to dominate every facet of the game. Wake led by as much as 30 points in the second half, probably the largest Carolina deficit since Dean Smith assumed the head coaching position.

Offensively and defensively, the Deacons put on a display of pic· ture-perfect execution that has not been seen since Wake's Big Four wins over Carolina and N.C. State.

All five starters finished the night in double figures, and Mike Helms led the onslaught with 20 points. Jim Johnstone, who sat out Saturday's game at Georgia Tech with a bruised hip, was anything but injured as he scored 17 points, passed for five assists and pulled down six rebounds.

The Wake Forest guards completely manhandled the Carolina backcourt, as Deacon starters Helms and Frank Johnson outscored the Tar Heel combination of Jimmy Black and Mike Pepper 32·8.

"Our zone defense kept them off the boards and we knew that was a key area we had to do a better job in," Wake coach Carl Tacy said. "Our guards helped a lot blocking out

and that made a dif· ference."

In the Carolina dressing room, Dean Smith, who has un­doubtedly grown used to a major portion of the attention following Carolina games here, admitted he was somewhat embarassed by the Tar Heels play Wednesday night.

"I can't remember anybody dominating us like that," Smith said. "Heck, we've been ·in every game for the last 15 years · until tonight.

"Wake Forest deserve!; every bit of its national ranking," ~mith ·added. "They beat us every which way."

The Deacon win marks the first time Wake has won a game in Car­michael since 1977.

Behind by 30 Pf,lints early in the second half, Carolina made its only solid run of the ball game at the nine minute mark when it pulled to within 16 points . .Tim my Black hit a 20-foot jumper to narrow the Deacon margin.

"At the nine minute mark, I think we still had an excellent chance to win," Smith said. "But they hit a few shots that we even wanted them to · take, and· that was it."

The game was very nearly decided in the first half, however, when the Deacons ran off two impressive streaks and outscored North Carolina ·10·2 in the first run and 12· 2 in the second. Wake went into the lockerroom holding a 43·22 lead.

Johnstone scored 12 of his points before the intermission and the Deacs connected on 66.7 percent of their shots from the field in the

· opening frame. Defensively, Wake

Forest opened the game in a tight zone and held Carolina under 10 points until the 9:31 mark in the first half ..

"Man-to-man has been the defense we've gone with (in the past)," Tacy said. "We went to the zone early. We wanted to make them prove they could shoot the outside shot. 11

Tacy and the Deacs succeeded in forcing the Tar Heel offense outside, but Carolina proved nothing.

UNC hit 10 of 25 from the field for a 40 percent shooting average in the first half. Only five of the 10 shots were outside shots and AI Wood con­nected on three of those five. Wood finished the game with 20 points.

Wake Forest hit 18 of 27 first half shots from the field and finished the game with a 59.3 percent average froni the floor.

Johnson finished the game with 12 points and nine assists, and his play at point guard proved to be a crucial factor in the win.

"We stayed steady and held our poise," Tacy said. "I think Frank Johnson did a great job controlling the tempo. 11

Carolina forward James Worthy, who came into the game shooting 62.8 percent from the field, suffered -through one of his poorest games of the season, conne.cting

_ on only two of 10 shots. Worthy was forced to shoot off-balance throughout the game as Guy Morgan and Alvis Rogers applied tight dl'fensive pressure. .........

Center Jim Johnstone was listed as a questionable starter prior

to the game, but John­stone's play on the court Wednesday night was anything but questionable.

Johnstone had been sidelined with a bruised hip, but came off the injury to play one of his most imposing games of the season.

"It (the hip injury) has been a day to day thing," Tacy said. "Practices this week were less than impressive and we were not sure how long or how well he could play."

Johnstone played 34 of 40 minutes and' held

-~ .:~

opposing center Sam Perkins to 13 points.

"The import ant thing is that we've · reached a point in our. season where things are starting to pick up for us," Johnstone said. "When Y,ou're on, everything goes well."

If Johnstone plays the remainder of the Deac · schedule as "hurt" as he played Wednesday, Wake Forest stands a solid chance of moving one step closer to what the team had hoped to realize ·a position in the NCAA tournament.

Senior guard Frank Johnson demonstrates perfect form on a jump shot during a recent Wake Forest game.

"The ACC is, if not the top, one of the top three conferences in the country," assistant coach Lori Bailey said. "We always have two or three teams in the top twenty. This year it's N.C. State, Virginia and Maryland."

The team has improved over the season, Bailey said. She attributes this to confidence and a great desire to win.

"The veterans on this team are tired of losing," she said.

The Deacs' nine victories is a record for the most wins by a Wake Forest women's basketball team.

Netters open season in Roanoke "A.\ though we won't be favored in the

tournament, we have the potential to upset anybody," Bailey said.

Wake Forest will need big games from leading scorer Barbara Durham (14.5 points per game l and leading rebounder Barbara Buchanan (11.5 rebounds per game) to beat Clemson. Freshman Buchanan had 21 points and 17 rebounds when Clemson beat Wake earlier in the season.

Although the whole team has con­tributed . to the improvement over the season, Durham, Buchanan and junior transfer Laurie McNeill, coming off the bench, have really stood out, Briley said.

After the ACC tournament this weekend, Briley's team hosts UNC·G Feb. 17 and ECU Feb. 23 to finish the regular season.

The highlight of the season came Jan. 22 whPn the Deacons defeated nationally ranked High Point 77·75. High Point is a pcrnnnial Division II power, and former

Wake will compete in the state Division I tournament at Chapel Hill in early March. The winner will advance to the regional competition, which leads to the national title.

Last spring, before a very. responsive home crowd, the Wake Forest men's tennis team ended its season on a high note by finishing a strong second in the ACC tournament.

This weekend, when the Deacons start their 1981 campaign in Roanoke, Virginia at the Wood Invitational Tennis Tournament, Coach Jim Leighton has high hopes his squad will pick up right where it left off. Despite the loss of Armand Molino, last year's number one player, five starters return from last year's team. ·

"They have improved tremendously and each will niove up a notch this year," Coach Leighton said.

At the No. 1 position, junior Andy Avram has some very large shoes to

fill, but his recent success in individual competition proves that he is one of the top collegiate players in the nation.

Allen Farfour and Tom Kieffer will play in the No. 2 and 3 positions respectively, and the two seniors will combine their talents as the No. 1 doubles team.

Playing at number four is junior Gray Yancey, a hard worker with two years of experience. Yancey has been ham­pered by tendonitis this past month, but Leighton hoprs to have him back at full!.trength in a week or two.

Last year's team MVP, Phil Raiford, was un­defeated in ACC play at the No. 6 spot, and this season Raiford will put his strings on the line from the No. 5 position.

Rounding out this year's team is freshman Laird Dunlop, who bears

a strong physical resemblance to Molino. Dunlop, the No. 3 ranked junior in Canada, will be playing in the No. 6 spot and his addition leaves . the Deacons without a weak link in the singles· competition.

"This is potentially the best team that I have ever had here at Wake Forest," Leighton said. "We are going to have a very good chance at finally catching Clemson and winning the ACC title."

In the pre-season polls, both UNC and Duke were mentioned in the national rankings.

The Deacs. were overlooked in the polls even though Wake beat both UNC and Duke to

win the Big Four Tennis Championship this fall.

The tennis team \\oill have its chances to earn national recognition, as the Deacs face their toughest schedule ever.

Included on the schedule along with ACC foes are matches against three southern powerhouses, Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina, ·as well as a trip to · Witchita, Kansas to play in the prestigous Sheldon Coleman Classic, an annual event which attracts the top tennis teams in the nation.

"This is the first time we have even been in­vited to a tournament of this caliber, and though it's really too early to tell,

~b

I think we. will make a very good showing," Leighton said.

One other reason Leighton is optimistic about the upcoming season is that the Deacs play a vast majority of their matches at home, including four of their SIX ACC contests.

"The home courts are definitely to our ad· vantage. Last year we weren't supposed to finish second in the ACC tournament, but we did and the fans deserved a great deal of credit for our performance," A vram said. "They were just great. ·

• ilf we get that kind of support this year, I think we will have a very successful season."

TAKE CHARGE AT 22.

In most jobs, at 22 you're at the bottom of the ladder.

In the Navy, at 22 you can be a leader. After just 16 weeks of leadership training, you're commissioned an officer, part of the manage, ment team. And you're given the immediate decision­making authority your responsibilities demand.

On your first sea tour, you'll be responsible for the work of up to 30 men and the care

of literally millions of dollars worth of highly sophisticated equipment. You're a Division Officer, so you're in charge.

It's a lot more responsibility than most corporations give a man of 22. As a Navy Officer, you encounter new challenges, new tests of your skills, new opportunities to advance your education. You grow. ·

Don't just take a job. Become a Navy Officer and take charge, even at 22.

Balloon trip deflates pre~ flight fears, anxieties ~--""----

I was petrified. As we drove along. the highway to our take-off spot, I nervously asked questions and con­tinuously glanced back at the three-sided wicker basket rigged to the trunk.

"So, ah, how long have you been in this business?"

"Eight years." Slight feeling of

relaxation. "Do you need a license

to . fly one of these things?"

"Yep, there's a written and a flying test to pass."

More relief. "This may be an

unethical question, but.. .how safe are these things?''

"They have the safest flying record of any aircraft around."

By this time, I felt more at ease. In less than an hour I would be taking off in a $12,000 hot-air balloon that was FAA approved and licensed. An impressive business, this ballooning.

The balloon, made in States\'ille, was owned and piloted by Johnson Davis of Winston-Salem.

along with a nylon-weight polyester bag that was about four feet square.

A generator-powered blower, a small propane burner (jokingly called the balloon's "engine") and three tanks of propane followed.

A few drops of rain dotted my jacket and a look of worry came over the group as hands went out to check the weather conditions. It was only a

ick tnough,

and we were still going to venture into the hazy sky.

The balloon itself, pulled from the bag and stretched along the ground, was literally "blown up" like its smaller counterpart at a child's birthday party. Only this balloon took a high-powered generator to stretch it to its full 70 by 60 foot size.

The basket, on its side, was attached to the huge balloon. The

burner was then used to raise it to an upright position, with the hot coils turning I the propane liquid to gas.

"Quick, get in! We're taking off!"

I slung my camera over my shoulder and ran to the leatherbound basket, climbing aboard with the pilot and the two other passengers. The red, yellow and blue balloon looked huge and sturdy, but that old surge ot m­security came over me as I felt the basket hop around the ground, trying to fly.

We lifted off, not straight up but on an angle, burning gas to propel us upward. Our slow, even ascent was what every balloonist strives for, and with 600 pounds of balloon and basket plus four passengers, it was a real feat.

The noise of the burner was deafening but it wasn't constant. Once afloat, the burner was used only periodically to keep a steady altitude. A

· 90-minute flight uses $50 in gas.

this point in the ride they told me there was no way to steer the balloon ... it was up to ol' Mother Nature and the wind.

I kept looking warily at the meager instrument panel, which consisted of two dials having something to do with altitude and vertical rate of speed. These dials told us how high we were flying and if we were going up or down.

As we floated along, I noticed people running from their houses and pulling their cars off the road, staring curiously at us. I wondered if they were thinking, "How fun!" or, "What fools!" After all, it was February and the skies were none too sunny.

We sailed over homes and fields and I felt almost like a trespasser

. as "I viewed backyards and patios.

"You wouldn't believe some of the stuff you see in the summer!" the pilot

. exclaimed. Dogs kept barking as we passed, and the pilot said we confused them.

"Dogs hate us. They can't figure out what we are," the pilot laughed.

We pulled onto the field at West Forsyth High School and lugged the basket out of its rigging,
