UNC Dumps Paul Newman

Carolina basketball reigns
supreme in a very big way down at
Chapel Hill. Tar Heel football can't
rate but so high for Carolina has
not attained a winning season on
the gridiron since 1963. Carolina
salvaged this year's season with a
victory over Duke, but all this
mediocrity is quickly forgotten when
Dean Smith's boys take to the hard
court.

The Tar Heels are good and
pre-season pollsters have
acknowledged this fact. The
Carolina cagers do have that
unhidden basketball talent, but the
glossy covered, University of North
Carolina basketball preview booklet
entitled "Meet the Tar Heels," goes
to great lengths to analyze the
varied personalities of the stars as
well.

The personality chart included
everything from hobbies to favorite
food and TV stars. The answers on
this questionnaire include just
about everything, too.

True to form most of these
Heels list sports, in one form or
another, as favorite hobby. But
there are some not quite so
expected. Don Eggleston collects
coins, and Richard Tuttle has no
qualms about confessing, just
sleeping as his favorite pastime. It's
probably a good thing that Tuttle
does a lot of sleeping - he drives
trucks loaded with explosives in the
summer. Bill Bunting, the 6-8
starting Senior, prefers to spend his
leisure hours cooking, while
Olympian Charli Scott dances.

The race for favorite male TV or
movie star was a tight race indeed.
Clint Eastwood did manage to
collect the plurality, taking the
place of last year's winner,
Newman. Clint received four of the
14 votes cast to edge the incumbent
Newman and dark horse James
Stewart, both of whom, got two
votes.

In the female division interests
are split between Faye Dunaway
and Julie Andrews. These two
actresses received only two votes
apiece, a situation which provoked
plenty of individual tastes. Goldy
O'Keefe was the choice of Junior
Jim Delany. Apparently Goldy is a
standard on the Laugh-in show. Lee
Dedmon prefers the feminine
pulchritude of Margaret Ann Agee
on the screen - who is Margaret
Ann Agee, please?

The favorite food was
determined without doubt to be
steak, although Dale Gripple likes
his with French fries; but no one
can blame Ed Fogler for submitting
Mother's home made cooking as
tops.

So remember, if North Carolina
happens to drub the Cavaliers, or
for that matter the Duke Blue
Devils, don't condemn these
athletes for there athletic talents
alone, condemn their personality
preferences too. The basketball factory
at Carolina has gone to lots of
trouble in putting out this glossy
feedback of information, but probably
they went to even more
effort to analyze their players' personalities.

There is no word as to whether
this booklet is on the news stands
for public consumption just yet,
but rest assured that the Carolina
basketball team are just like you
and me, even if Lee Dedmon does
prefer Margaret Ann Agee to Jane
Fonda.
