PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1998 C-9 OBITUARIES JIM MICKEY DANILO DOLCI Activist, writer who sought social reform in Italy began his coaching career at John Marshall High School in Virginia after a stint in the Navy. Mr. Hickey coached football and basketball at John Marshall, winning a state basketball championship in 1948. He began his collegiate coaching career at Hampden-Sydney, compiling a 27-11-4 record from 1951 to 1955 and twice winning the Mason-Dixon Conference championship. Mr.

Hickey left Hampden-Sydriey in 1956 to become backfield coach for Tatum when Tatum switched from Maryland, where he had won a national championship, to North Carolina. Ex-football coach, A.D. at N. Carolina By The Associated Press Jim Hickey, a former football coach at North Carolina and athletic director at Connecticut, died Saturday at his home in Pinehurst, N.C. He was 77.

Mr. Hickey became coach at North Carolina in 1959 after Jim Tatum died of Rocky Mountain spotted fever just weeks before the season began. Mr. Hickey coached jn Chapel Hill for eight years, leading the 1963 team to a victory over Air Force in the Gator Bowl. After a 2-8 record in 1966, Mr.

Mickey resigned with a year left on Jus contract He was 36-45 at North Orolina. John Tagliabue The New York Times ROME Danilo Dolci, an advocate of nonviolent social reform whose writings and poetry chronicled Sicily's Teauty and sense of despair, died of heart failure Tuesday in a Sicily hospital. He was 73. Mr. Dolci, who suffered from diabetes and was debilitated recently by pneumonia after a visit to China, used a wheelchair in recent months.

A labor organizer, Mr. Dolci lived and worked rural western Sicily for more than four decades, employing nonviolent methods to campaign for jobs and the transfer of water rights from the Mafia to farmers' collectives that twice earned him nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize, in 1965 and 1982. The Western news media made a romantic figure of Mr. Dolci, calling him the Sicilian Gandhi, and scholars and writers from many countries flocked to the small research center he set up in the village of Partinico, near Palermo, to learn from his methods. rending of the links between Sicilian politics and the Mafia in the 1990s, Mr.

Dolci began attacking leaders of the governing Christian Democratic Party by name, accusing them of collusion with organized crime. He was convicted of libel and sentenced to two years in jail. About that time Mr. Dolci began broadcasting his social creed over a private radio station, thus violating the government's monopoly of the airwaves. The station was closed, and Mr.

Dolci was censured. An entrancing teacher, Mr. Dolci once told The New York Times in an interview: "Children are alive, curious, sensitive. Growing up is a process of becoming calloused." In the 1970s, Mr. Dolci visited the United States several times, talking on college campuses and gathering money for his struggles for the poor.

Yet he was not spared criticism. Several of his followers broke away and founded competing institutions, accusing him of authoritarian methods and misuse of the considerable money that flowed to his research center, though the charges were never substantiated. A prolific writer of prose and he also was called the Studs erkel of Sicily, although Mr. Dolci was the first of the two to chronicle the lives of workers. The most striking of his many books include collections of interviews with peasants, fishermen, priests and street cleaners that document not only the beauty but also the heartbreak of their lives.

Although not a member of a political party, Mr. Dolci was a darling of the European left. The President of the Italian Chamber of leputies, Luciano Violante, a leader of the Democratic Party of the Left, a formerly Communist group, praised him Tuesday for his "courageous passion, and deep sense of social justice." Born near Trieste of a Sicilian father and Slovenian mother, Mr. Dolci studied architecture in Switzerland before going to live in Sicily in 1952, when he was 28. At first limiting his activities to the fishing village of Trappeto, where he lived with his father, a railway stationmaster, he borrowed from Gandhi the technique of fast ing as a political weapon and developed other unorthodox tactics.

One of these was the "strike in reverse," which consisted of launching unauthorized public works projects for the poor and unemployed. Struggling against local racketeers and the Mafia, Mr. Dolci taught school, organized farmers' and craftsmen's cooperatives, and agitated for bridges and dams to aid transport and irrigate the land. It remained something of mystery why Mr. Dolci was left in relative tranquillity by the Mafia, with his supporters suggesting that the Mafia feared a backlash if harm befell such a popular figure.

In 1958, after he dispatched 150 unemployed men to repair a dirt road outside Partinico, he was arrested, convicted on trumped-up charges and sentenced to eight months in jail. A year earlier, Moscow awarded him the $30,000 Lenin Peace Prize. Mr. Dolci accepted, but in a characteristic statement of independence affirmed he was not a Communist but would accept money from whatever source. In 1967, long before the decisive j-: Mr.

Hickey was athletic director at Connecticut for three years and later helped develop the Carolina Trace golf club in Pinehurst, where he was general manager for several years.
