Reporter r< f | To the Editor: | When I wrote the story comparing the academics of ( USC and UNC, I had no idea what an uproar it would cause. Thp cfnrv ctafpH fVmf T1CP moc ? aax/ j UVMVVVI V11UV VUV W WO the academic equal of UNC overall as a university, but that of course does not mean that the individual programs in one were the equal of those in the other. Each school excels in different areas. That is one of the major reasons, you find me, a North Carolina resident, here at USC. I came because of our excellent journalism school. I love both my school and my state, and I do not want to give them up either. When Jim Blair from UNC wrote that he did not feel that the two schools were equal academically, I was not surprised. If someone from UNC had stated something to the contrary, then I would have been surprised.Though I may not agree with Mr. Blair on the poini 01 academics, I do agree with him that UNC has an edge from the viewpoint that he takes, that of spirit. Mr. Blair has made sure that his opinion was unoffensive as possible. He even asked that no one from USC take offense at it. But then a tactless person from USC, a "Mr." Eric Stevens, had to make a scene and start calling names. To you, Mr. Stevens, I say that Mr. Blair has pride in his state and school, too. If you would expend your energy toward the positive cause of being proud of your state and school bv showing a Dositivp f c/ C * " spirit and encouraging others to do the same instead of paranoidly striking out at someone showing pride in his school, you might accomplish something.

True, he shows his individual lack of tact in spite of apologies by expounding the virtues of one university at the expense of the other (which puts him in the same boat with you) and he is a mere mortal, though he may try to make himself and his fellow Chapel Hill students lOOk Otherwise hv U?llincr tie "?O V.O that they are beyond human fallacy and weaknesses and always have everything in the right perspective. That just goes to show that UNC is not perfect, either. Both of you are just a face in your respective crowds, but at* Chapel Hill, he is in the vocal minority with his misguided sense of school spirit. UNC's vocal majority back their school so heartily that they even have a name for it: "Carolina Fever." You and your compatriots here at USC who have this same misguided sense of scnool spirit, Mr. Stevens, may be no more numerous here, but due to the number of USC students who favor silent apathy, you are much more apparent. Perhaps if you people could re-orientate your school spirit toward more positive things, USC could surpass the plateaus attributed to UNC, who by the way earned them through teamwork on the part of everyone involved. If not, why don't you and your compatriots step into a literal boat and leave in a hurry?

The residents are noticing UNC From page 25 Chapel Hill. Not only that, but I had no fewer than 10 relatives with degrees from UNC. Yet, I did not get in. Can Mr. Stevens (or Mr. Bandour) explain why I was accepted at USC as quickly as my application could get processed? Believe me, I'm proud as hell to wear my garnet and black "Carolina" jacket at home, but we must not let our bias blind the facts. Also, in regard to Mr. Thayer's letter about being proud of South Carolina, that's fine. One should be proud of where they live. In the letter, however, he asked "in what other state could you drive four hnnrc in oHVinM "i: * in ciuici uuct'uuii anu snow ski or scuba dive?" Well, Mr. Thayer, which Carolina did you snow ski in?
