volume LXVII, number 15 the tiger January 11,1974 Wherefore art thou, Kohoutek?

By EARL GATLIN Although Comet Kohoutek has been termed a scientific success, it has not been the spectacle it was publicized to be. Kohoutek, as it turns out, is much dimmer than astronomers had expected. An additional cause of disappointment has been the cloudy and inclement weather that has persisted since the comet rounded the sun. According to Professor Thomas F. Collins, assistant professor of physics, Kohoutek was supposed to be special for two teasons. "Kohoutek was spotted more than 400 million miles from the sun; consequently, astronomers expected it to be fairly large. Also its close approach to the sun meant that a lot of material would vaporize which would make it very bright and have a very long tail," the professor main- tained. A comet is a loose mass of solid particles of unde- termined size with gas interspersed between the particles. Due to its extreme distance from the sun, the comet is a frozen mass. "The intense bombardment of radiation and particles from the sun causes parts of the comet to vaporize as it nears the sun and to form a halo around still-solid parts. This constant rain of particles forces some of the vaporized material away from the main body to form the tail," explained Collins. Before Collins described why Kohoutek did not turn out as anticipated, he cautioned that comets are highly unpredictable. Invariably, some amount of guesswork is necessary in estimating the brightness of a comet. "The internal structure of the comet affects its tail and its brightness," declared Collins. "If a comet has not been near the sun or another star, then it won't develop large KOHOUTEK as viewed from a 16-inch reflector telescope. Photo by Dr. M. C. Wicht. grain or particle size. This causes a comet to be less bright." Another factor that caused astronomers to "The first estimate was about 50,000 years, but it turns "Some of the largest telescopes in the world and Sky lab overestimate the brightness of Kohoutek was the out that Kohoutek is probably not periodic," he reported. have been used to study Kohoutek," he observed.

The White House announced this week that President Nixon's short-lived and rather un- spectacular Operation Candor was at an end. The demise of Nixon's much ballyhooed game plan to regain the confidence and trust of the American public had been rumored for weeks. Nixon, it seems, had been unhappy with the results of the project. Public disclosure of his income tax figures, as well as papers concerning ITT and the milk fund had failed to silence the President's critics. Indeed, the information sparked demands for further, more com- prehensive investigations. Now, as in the past, Nixon has expressed disappointment and even bitterness that his attempts to "set the record straight" have resulted not in grateful appreciation, but in "....

January 11, 1974—the tiger—page eleven UNC uses free throws to down Tigers 102-90 By KEITH CANNON Coach Tates Locke's now-famous comment about "back to the NBA" in describing ACC play is just as accurate as ever. The Tigers, facing their second opponent from the nation's Top Five in five days, weren't quite up to the task, losing to the North Carolina Tarheels 102- 90. > Wednesday night's game, played before a Littlejohn Coliseum record 11,565 fans, was much closer statistically than on the scoreboard. The Tigers out-rebounded the Heels, 42-41, with Wayne Croft claiming 13 and Jeff Reidinger adding 10. Bobby Jones pulled down 14 for UNC, several off the offensive boards. Both teams had good games in shooting; the Tigers hit on 48.8 per cent from the field, their best mark in that category in some time. North Carolina, though it seemed to Tiger fans that they were hitting everything they threw at the basket, ended the game at "only" 50.7 per cent. The most important statistic in the victory for UNC was in the free throw department, where the Tarheels hit on 36 of 43. Most of those were racked up in the last five minutes, when Carolina went to their four-corners offense. Eighteen of their last 20 points came from the foul-line. The game began with the Tarheels establishing a 12-0 lead in the first three-and-a-half minutes. Their press rattled the Tigers into three turnovers which turned into UNC baskets, and the game was two minutes old before Clemson crossed halfcourt. The Tigers managed to pull themselves together, and for the next eight minutes they made a furious run at the fourth-ranked Heels. They pulled within two at 23-21 before Tree Rollins was sentenced to the bench with his third foul at 9:05 to play. A Tim Capehart 15-foot jump shot tied the game at 23-23, but the Tigers were sorely missing the intimidation of Rollins in the middle. UNC took advantage of his absence and went to their inside game to pull away to a 49-33 halftime lead.

In the second half, Clemson wasn't able to get too much closer, but neither were their opponents able to break the game open. UNC was able to contain Tree, who fouled out with 10:54 in the game, but the Tigers got good performances from Wayne Croft and Van Gregg. Gregg, shooting well from the baseline, finished with 24 points; Croft contributed 19. Clemson got as close as 11 points, at 83-72, before the Tarheels went into their four-corners act. Freshman forward Walter Davis hit on 11 of 11 free throws and Bobby Jones had 11 out of 13 to foil any chance of a Tiger rally. Davis was the game's high scorer with 27 and Jones had 25. After the game, Coach Locke commented on the loss, "I'll take full responsibility for that. I was proud of the way the kids hung in there. Saturday (against Maryland) we really got out of it, but this time we were able to hold it down." Asked whether he was surprised that UNC came out pressing Locke answered, "No, they press for breakfast, they press for lunch and they press for dinner. I was surprised at the way our kids reacted, though." He added that he was pleased with the job that Tim Capehart did in eventually breaking the press. Locke had a few remarks about the officiating. "It's a shame to have a rookie official in a game like this. There were bad calls made on both sides." "Tree's third foul really hurt us," he continued. He added that, in his opinion, Rollins' last foul was the only obvious one. He also said that Rollins could have had the ball more in the game, especially early in the second half. "We've got a young team," he concluded. "Our defense was terrible tonight, but we're going to be all right."
