UNC-Welled Duke rolled past unranked UNC in a resounding 90-76 win

By ANYA SOSTEK The Chronicle

There was no overtime, no last-second comeback and nothing went down to the wire. SatUNC 76 urday’s 90-76 victory over North Carolina (1812, 9-7) was low-suspense, high-energy basketball—exactly what senior Chris Carrawell wanted for his Cameron farewell.

“It was a classic when we played UNC over there this year,” Carrawell said of the January overtime thriller. “I didn’t want a classic today. I wanted us to win this one going away. I couldn’t have written a better script.”

In that script, the No. 4 Blue Devils (24-4,15-1) played the part of innocent bystanders in the most important play ofthe game. With Duke up by five and 10:57 left in the first half, Ed Cota and Jason Capel banged heads. On Cota’s end, the clash was severe enough to merit five stitches and, more importantly, over seven key minutes off the court.

The Blue Devils, jumping on the opportunity, went on a 218 run in Cota’s absence, featuring three steals by Jason Williams and two by Shane Battier. In the minutes following Cota’s departure, Williams made two layups in the span of eight seconds—his only two field goals of the game.

And when Cota came back into the game with three minutes remaining in the first half and his team down by 18, he really didn’t know what hit him.

Ultimately, North Carolina was never able to make significant headway into the cushion Duke built up in Cota’s absence.

“He’s like the quarterback of their team,” Carlos Boozer said of Cota. “When he goes out, they lose a lot. They’re not as effective of a team.”

At one point in the second half, North Carolina cut the deficit to nine, but two quick three-pointers put the game away for Duke. The first came with just over four minutes left to play. As the shot clock hit one second, Nate James lofted up a desperation three from the left corner which somehow found the basket.

“When that shot went in, I saw Capel and [Joseph] Forte were like, ‘Oh my god, I know he didn’t hit that,”’ Carrawell said. “After that, it was over.”

Less than a minute after James hit his miracle shot, Battier Duke

Israel vows to withdraw from Lebanon

By SUSAN SACHS

N.Y. Times News Service

JERUSALEM Israel’s cabinet pledged Sunday to withdraw its soldiers by July from the embattled strip of southern Lebanon that they have occupied since 1982, preferably, but not necessarily, in the context of an accord with Syria.

The resolution, adopted unanimously, gives extra teeth to the solo promises of a withdrawal made in the last eight months by Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who set ambitious deadlines when he took office for securing regional peace on the Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian fronts.

As an official statement of government policy, as opposed to simply Barak’s word, it stands'particularly as a challenge to Syria, which has used the Israeli presence to justify its support of the Lebanese guerrillas

who have waged a costly war of attrition against the Israeli troops.

The resolution stressed that the withdrawal would preferably take place in the context of a peace agree' ment. If there is none, it added, the cabinet will hold another discussion about how to carry out the with! drawal. It did not specifically make the withdrawal contingent on a peace accord.

“We have cut today the Gordian knot between Syria and Lebanon,” said Haim Ramon, a cabinet member who is close to Barak. “If the Syrians want to reach an agreement, and it is preferable that an agreement be reached, good.”

If not, he added, “we will leave without an agree ment, we will bring the boys home, and we will defend! the northern communities from the international border with all of our might.”

There were no chants, no cheers, no ursmg.

We could have napped because we’re all ired, we could have showered because re all smell, we could have drank a litle. But I’m still glad we have a fire.”

For Trinity senior Jim Nelson, the fire ras bittersweet. “I’m kind of sad because ny first three years it was at night, and it rasa lot more special then,” he said.

Once again, the A-Team, a group of yalkie-talkie-carrying, blue-and-whiteacket-wearing administrators and stulents in charge of monitoring fire safey, kept a strong presence at the crowd’s lerimeter.

“Our job this year was to get the first bench out there, then sit back and watch,” said Trinity senior Kat Kirchner, Mirecourt president. “Continue a tradition.”

Blackwell Dormitory’s bench, transplanted from East Campus, was the second to go. Residents from longtime rival, Randolph Dormitory, had rented a U-Haul, stolen the bench, and brought it to the fire site earlier in the week. “I think it’s awesome,” said Randolph resident and Trinity freshman Harold Eng, who helped move the bench. “I’ve been waiting to see Blackwell’s bench burn.”

And the win was enough to excite Jason Morrow, a Trinity junior who was on crutches. He hobbled around the fire in his boxers. “It was very exciting,” he said. “I enjoyed watching us beat the hell out of Carolina. Any day Carolina loses is a good day. Any day Duke wins is a good day. If both happen at the same time, it's even better.”

A few bold students tried, largely unsuccessfully, for about 10 minutes to set the bench aflame, lighting newspaper and placing it on or under the bench. Finally, A-Team members gave them

lighter fluid and the bench caught fire.

Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, sporting blue hair like many Cameron Crazies, was nervous about his new look, “It better come 0ut...,” he said. “It was a good game, a good season and it’s a good bonfire so far.”

Kauffman’s brother Dan, a Pratt senior, has been talking about the game and the celebration for years, and the freshman said the game lived up to his brother’s words. “I thought it was fantastic, especially coming from Canada where the only college basketball game you see is Duke and UTSIC,” Joshua Kauffman said. “Despite our loss before and despite the fact thatDunleavy is out, I was happy to give this one to C-Well. He deserves it.”

After spring break, Dining Services will »egin testing a paper-plastic combination bat would lower the University’s reliance }n

non-biodegradabie foam.

By VILAS PATHIKONDA The Chronicle

Cutting back on junk food is hard enough, but for Dining Services, getting over their addiction to real

junk, polystyrene take-out food containers, has been even tougher.

But last -week, Dining Services took the first step toward breaking the university’s reliance on these foam containers. Starting the week after spring break, they will test a new take-out box, one that has a paper base and plastic top. Neither component will dg recycled, but the paper is biodegradable, and the elastic is compressible. The test phase, which will jnly be implemented in the Great Hall, will run for ;he rest of the school year.

The long road toward more environmentally ■riendly containers began last year when assistant director of Dining Services Bruce Eckmeder and then-Trinity senior and Environmental Alliance member Mike Dietze started working on alternatives to the polystyrene boxes. Frustrated by last year’s slow progress, both Duke Recycles and the Environmental Alliance moved on to other projects, but Eckmeder kept plugging along.

The many positives of using foam were until now outweighing the negatives. “Foam is cheap, durable, retains heat well and it doesn’t leak,” said Eckmeder.

The main concerns with foam are that it is nonbiodegradable and non-compressible, and that viable alternatives are hard to find.

For example, they considered a paper-foil combination like the ones used by Bull City Subs but decided against it because of the inconvenience.

In January, Trinity senior and former Alliance member Alexis Sherwin came to Eckmeder to reiterate Dietze’s concerns. Sherwin couldn’t understand why a large, profit-maximizing corporation like McDonald’s was able to make the switch away from foam years ago and Duke hadn’t still hasn’t been able to.

Eckmeder found the winner—a new product from Chinet. After some negotiation with the company, he was able to lock in a price that was acceptable to Dining Services. He credits Sherwin as the catalyst for the change.

Sherwin, in return, praises Dining Services for taking the right stand on this issue. “Duke wants to do the right thing,” she said. “Sometimes they just need pressure from students. Students shouldn’t be afraid to approach the administration.”

The new containers will cost about two to two-anda-half times as much per container, but Eckmeder says that the plan is not cost-prohibitive; he vows not to increase food prices this year.

“I will have six solid weeks to review the plan,” he said. “This summer I will make a decision about whether to raise prices.”

Still, some students might not be averse to a pricehike in order to get rid of foam. Trinity senior Anne Wilson said, “I don’t think people even think about it.

I never check the price.”

Trinity senior Stacey McKay agreed. “I think the prices are so high already,” she said. “I don’t think it really matters.”

Eckmeder also hopes private vendors on campus will be influenced by the success of the new containers. “I can’t tell them I’m going to rip up their contract [if they don’t change from foam]. I can, but would I want to do that?

“If it works I’ll be excited.” he said. “Hopefully, it’s a win-win situation.”

There is no staff meeting on Friday. Instead, there is SPRING BREAK,

Lawyers critique system for assigning domain names During a Friday panel, professors worried about the concentration of power in the hands of a private companj

By ALEX SUNDSTROM The Chronicle

The increasing sprawl and complexity of the Internet are exposing problems in the assignment and administration of web site addresses, scholars said Friday at the University’s 30th Annual Administrative Law Conference.

The panelists placed the blame for these problems on ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, a non-profit corporation created in 1998. The federal government contracted with ICANN to oversee the distribution of domain names—a job previously held

by Network Solutions, Inc.—and to shift power to the private sector.

Panelists noted the importance of this administrative task. “This is one of the few places where power—be it public or private—can get its finger on the slippery beast which is the Internet,” said moderator James Boyle, a professor of law at American University.

ICANN manages the list that governs where Internet addresses direct computer users. It also resolves domain name disputes between companies and “cybersquatters”—individuals who register domains whose names contain company trademarks.

The panelists chided the government for giving ICANN—a private company—so much authority in making governmental decisions. ‘This looks very much like public-policy making,” said Jonathan Weinberg, a professor at Wayne State University Law School. ‘Who died, in a word, and made them king?”

The other panelist, A. Michael Froomkin of the University of Miami School of Law, agreed that transferring power to a private company can be dangerous. ‘There are some values which are particularly at risk, and these are free speech values,” said Froomkin, who worked with ICANN to revise its policies regarding domain name disputes.

Weinberg also expressed concern that ICANN could begin to influence web site content. “It could be, ‘lf you want to be reachable on the net, you can’t have pornography on your site,’” Weinberg said.

In addition to the questions raised about free speech, panelists criticized ICANN for mishandling the overcrowding of dot-com and dot-org designations, leading to an extremely high demand for domain names. For example, Bank of America recently purchased the rights to loans.com for $3 million. Tf some-

These are the three-letter suffixes at the end of web site names. ‘The amount ofwork involved to create a new

gTLD has been estimated at about

seven minutes, until you get good at it,’

Froomkin said.

Froomkin and Weinberg urged Con gress to retake some control over ICANN’s functions. ‘This is a recurring issue, and it is a legitimate subject for Congress to be concerned about’ Froomkin said.

Irregularities plague DSG elections for 2nd straight year �-RE-ELECTION from page 1

rent DSG President Lisa Zeidner and Executive Vice President Rusty Shappley, both Trinity seniors, in charge of the newly ordered elections.

In the first election, Trinity junior Jordan Bazinsky handily won the presidency by a 13 percent margin, particularly wide given the nine-candidate pool. The executive vice president and academic affairs vice presidential races, however, were two-person races decided by only a few

percentage points.

Bazinsky said he was shocked at the judiciary’s ruling and that did not know about the appeals until the last minute. “I actually had to call [chief justicel Adam Berg to find out,” he said.

Zeidner, who endured the uncertainty last year while waiting for her election to be reaffirmed, regrets that history seems to be repeating itself, “It’s definitely sad that this is the case. But if this is what needs to be done, then this is what needs to be done,” she said, adding that she does not think turnout will suffer too much.

Daryn Dodson, a Trinity sophomore and candidate for executive vice president, presented his complaint at the Sunday hearing, arguing that his name was misspelled on the ballot, and then crossed off when DSG officials tried to correct it by writing his name above or next to the misspelling. His election was determined by only 71 votes.

As part of another complaint, Trinity senior and presidential runner-up Jim Lazarus argued that his name was incorrectly listed as “Laz” instead of “Jim “Laz’ Lazarus,” as he requested.

Stapleton argued that she thought the candidate wanted only his moniker listed, but Lazarus presented the ju-

Students express cynicism at DSG

By JAMES HERRIOTT and JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

Although this year’s Duke Student Government election complaints cannot compare to last year’s stuffed ballot boxes, the result is the same: a second election.

Students outside the organization were not as gung10 about a second go-round as some of the candidates /ere. “This is ridiculous that this should happen every year,” said Trinity senior John Elliott. “They’re not helping their credibility at all. I think they do a lot of things right that go unnoticed, but when they get into very public things, like elections, they need to avoid fiascoes to maintain credibility.”

Indeed, this is the second straight year that a single election episode has turned into a mini-series, making some students doubt the organization’s credibility. “I think that it’s a big warning sign,” said Trinity senior Monica Brown. “This was not a good time for DSG to drop the ball, given that they did this last year.”

But last year’s re-vote was called after 500 extra ballots were found in the boxes. Some students said that the election commission’s failure to remove fliers from polling stations as well as the appearance of several misspelled names on the ballots this year could not compare to the debacles of election seasons past. “Because we’ve heard about so many scandals, this one seems minor,” said Trinity junior Laura Weeshoff.

Even some of the losing candidates said the complaints are, in the long run, relatively minor. Calling the Section “a very silly process,” Trinity junior and presi-

r

lential candidate Carliss Chatman noted before the ruing that despite various improprieties, the mistakes vould not have affected the outcome.

“There’s always scandal with the DSG elections...” she said, noting that aside from the formal complaints, severil candidates were upset that their fliers were tom down.

Given that the election commission’s mistakes were somewhat small-scale, some students said they could lave easily been avoided.

“They need to be a little more careful to prevent these hings...,” said Trinity senior Nicole Price, noting the close 'ace for executive vice president, in which Trinity sophonore Daiyn Dodson’s name was spelled incorrectly on she ballot.

Many students argued that a revote was entirely mnecessary. “I don’t think the bulk ofthe people who oted feel the violations warranted new elections,” said trinity junior Alisa Nave. “How much of a difference lid a sign up and a change of name really make?”

diciary with an e-mail he sent to Stapleton the day before the election specifically asking that his full name and nickname be listed. Lazarus argued that the simple “Laz” undermined his credibility, made his name unrecognizable on the ballot and turned off uneducated voters.

The judiciary agreed. “The election commission further erred by not appropriately correcting misspelled and omitted names on the ballot, which included names scratched out and illegibly rewritten,” the ruling reads.

‘The judiciary is disturbed by the sloppiness of the election commission’s handling of many crucial aspects of the election. The failure to follow proper procedure corrupted the entire election process.”

Trinity junior Rob Leonard, who was elected vice president for community interaction in the March 2 vote, argued that Stapleton discouraged candidates from raising concerns about the election.

The Chronicle obtained one of her e-mails to the exec-

utive candidates. It reads, partly, “For those who are considering filing complaints in the future make them worthwhile, unless you feel you are really that self-important.,..

I GET VERY LIVID WITH S-T LIKE THIS.” Lazarus, who spoke the most at Sunday’s hearing, forcefully presented his two-pronged complaint, also claiming that the election commission violated bylaws by failing to remove campaign fliers within 150 feet of polling stations.

In upholding the election Friday, the election commission had acknowledged that posters remained in the poster-free zone but argued that it did everything it could to remove them in a timely fashion given staffing limitations. For example, staffing was so short that the Trent Dormitory polling station was closed from noon to 2 p.m.

“I think the most important thing is we feel we did as much as we were humanly possibly able to do given that we don’t have cell phones attached to us,” Stapleton said.

A smart settlement Following the ADA settlement, the University needs to continue its holistic and thorough approach to making the campus accessible

The

University’s Feb. 23 settlement with the Department of Justice over compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act represents a step toward a more inclusive and accommodating campus community.

Under the out-of-court arrangement, the University will invest several million dollars to enhance the navigability of the campus. The agreement will force administrators to modify facilities so students with a disability can live, eat, work and enjoy all critical campus services.

Administrators have been negotiating with government officials since an official complaint was filed in 1996. Although it was discouraging that negotiations took this long, at least the delay gave the University several years to examine disability access issues and come up with a plan to improve the campus. Reaching a settlement with the Justice Department was critical—if the two sides couldn’t agree on terms, the University would have been sued. But the time it took to reach the agreement should not take away from its importance. The terms of the deal indicate that Duke takes this issue seriously and wants to improve conditions for members of the community with disabilities.

The arrangement finds a comfortable medium between the United States and Duke. It does not force every dormitory room to be accessible, and it will not cost the University an excessive amount of money in a short amount of time. It recognizes Duke’s architectural and financial limitations. But at the same time, this deal forces the University to change in reasonable and feasible ways to give every student the opportunity to have a high quality collegiate experience.

This is how the ADA is supposed to work. It approached an accessibility problem that was difficult to get around and forced Duke to examine this problem and, over time, address it.

As the University begins to implement the settlement, it is imperative that administrators continue to take a holistic approach. Instead of adding a ramp here and a curb cut there, the University must still . stay aware of more pervasive, subtle access issues. For example, it must ensure that enough commons and laundry rooms are accessible.

If Duke handles this topic on a problem-by-problem basis, it will discourage students with a disability from matriculating. If students with a disability don’t matriculate, complaints will remain low—but this is not the type of compliance the University should be seeking.

No matter how comprehensive the University’s disability access plan is, some issues and problems will go neglected. Only then should we rely on those who rely on wheelchairs to find the errors that slip through the cracks. However, Duke must have a more comprehensive strategy to accommodate students with a disability—not only is it in these students’ best interest, but it is in the community’s best interest as well.

For the last three GREENSBORO seasons, the Blue Devils have always rode into the ACC tournament with a ;eam capable of winning the ACC tournament.

But the closest those teams ever came to the tournament final was a comfortable seat on the couch in front of a television.

Those teams never had it this easy.

Leading from wire to wire, No. 2 seed Duke (25-5, 14-4 in the ACC) routed the sixth-seeded and outclassed Yellow Jackets 77-56 yesterday in Greensboro Coliseum to punch its ticket to the ACC tournament final. The Blue Devils will face fifth-seed North Carolina, which upended No. 1 seed Virginia 66-62 in thrilling fashion yesterday, in Duke’s first appearance in the final since 1996.

Although the surging Yellow Jackets (15-13, .8-10) had upset third-seeded N.C. State in the quarterfinals Saturday, the Blue Devils wasted little time before chucking Tech’s glass slipper into the garbage disposal.

Duke took advantage of seven Yellow Jacket turnovers in the first 13 minutes and raced out to a 22-13 lead.

Women’s lacrosse falls to Terrapins in battle of 1 vs. 2

By BRIAN KANE The Chronicle

Maryland women’s

The UMd. 14 lacrosse team has won Duke 10 five consecutive national championships. And Friday night at Koskinen Stadium, the Terrapins reminded everyone of how that happened.

Despite falling behind 8-4 at the half, the top-ranked Terrapins outscored No. 2 Duke 10-2 in the final 30 minutes to claim a 14-10 victory in this clash of titans. The Blue Devils (2-1) were able to rebound Sunday afternoon with a home victory over Johns Hopkins (0-2)

by a count of 16-6.

Maryland (1-0) ran its fast-breaking style offense to near perfection in the second half, converting on nearly every opportunity at the net.

“They’re a fast team, but the way they play aids them in their ability to beat teams with their speed,” coach Kerstin Kimel said. “They pull all their attackers up to the restraining line and as soon as there is a turnover, it’s off to

came out really strong in the second half,” Kimel said. “But we got a little tentative.

We didn’t handle the ball really well in the mid-field, and Maryland forced some turnovers that allowed them to play their

run-and-gun style game.”

The Blue Devils started the contest with strong play. Claire Sullivan converted on a free-position opportunity just 56 seconds into the game to give Duke a 1-0 lead. Tricia Martin bumped the Blue Devil advantage to 2-0 with a one-on-one move 2:28 later.

After Maryland knotted the game at 3-3, Duke scored five of the next six goals, including an acrobatic shot by Kelly Dirks from her knees, to take an 8-4 lead into halftime.

“What we saw in the first half is what we are capable of doing,” Kimel said.

“For us, it creates a level of what we need to work for, more than anything we can do in practice. It is a good challenge for us to try to play like we did in the first half for 60 minutes.”

The Blue Devils were out-shot 34-19 by the Terrapins, and Maryland controlled 23

The Terrapin comeback started when Allison Comito found the back of the net 1:58 into the second half. Four minutes later, Quinn Carney found an opening near the crease and scored to cut the Blue Devil advantage to 8-6.

After a five-minute drought, Maryland notched two goals in less than a minute to tie the contest at 8-8. Then, with 13:40 remaining, Carney scored the second of her three goals to give the Terrapins their first lead of the night. ground balls to the Blue Devils’ 8.

Durnan’s goal lifts Duke over rival Terps in ACC thriller

UMd7~

lacrosse, the ACC rivalry

8 between Maryland and Duke is one of the hottest.

Saturday’s thriller in Koskinen Stadium proved to be yet another compelling chapter between the two confer-

ence foes.

In a contest that wasn’t settled until the last two minutes of the game, No. 4

Duke (3-0, 1-0) and No. 8 Maryland proved that neither team would give up easily, as Duke took the contest 9-8.

“These games are always one-goal games,” coach Mike Pressler said.

“Maryland brings out the best in us and we bring out the best in them. I was very proud of the way we finished the game.

We shut them out in the fourth quarter and we did it on defense.”

With only 1:58 remaining, Jared Frood came from behind the net with a direct pass to TJ. Durnan, who transferred the ball directly past the goalkeeper to score the game-winning point.

“We had an offense that was set up to

move the ball,” Durnan said. “They looked inside and Jared found me wide open. I had the easy job.”

Seconds later, Maryland suffered a disadvantage as the Terrapins’ Geoff Burnham drew a penalty minute on a slash, effectively ending their chance to come back.

Going into the fourth quarter tied 88, the name of the game was defense as the two teams remained deadlocked for the first 13 minutes of the quarter.

Despite a number close calls, Matt Breslin held firm in goal. Breslin’s 13 saves proved pivotal as Duke shut down the Terrapins for the final quarter.

Duke took the advantage from the top of the game as Frood scored a goal within the first two minutes. Duke spread out two other goals through the first quarter as the defense allowed only one goal.

After Keat Crown went down with an ACL injury in the first quarter, however, the defense would break down in the second.

“He’s a captain, he’s been our emotional leader, and had a great presea-

son,” Pressler said. “He deserved this more than anybody and we lost him in the first quarter.”

While Duke dominated the first three minutes and the last three minutes offensively, the rest ofthe time was Maryland’s.

After Duke took a 4-1 lead with another Frood goal three minutes into the second quarter, the Terrapins began surging.

The Terps’ Marcus LaChapelle scored three goals in five minutes and two other Maryland players added goals for a total of five goals in six minutes, bringing the Terps up 6-4 over Duke.

“It wasn’t panic at all,” Durnan said.

“They were winning the faceoffs, they had possession. We knew if we had the

ball we could score on them, so once we got the faceoffs, got the possession back, we came right back.”

And Duman wasn’t lying.

The Blue Devils took two goals in the last minute, including a Greg Patchak slam with three seconds left to tie the battle at halftime, 6-6.

‘Those couple of plays at the end of the first half got us really fired up to come out for the second half,” Duman said.

Cameron will host McDonald’s All-American game next year From wire reports

OAK BROOK, 111.

McDonald’s

announced Saturday it has awarded the 2001 McDonald’s All-American

High School Basketball Game to Raleigh-Durham, N.C. and Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The game, which annually showcases the top 24 high school basketball players in the country in a nationally televised event, will be played Wednesday, March 28, 2001, just prior to the NCAA tournament’s Final Four weekend.

‘We are proud to award this prestigious game to the McDonald’s owner/operators and community of Raleigh-Durham,” said Bridget Coffing, vice president of McDonald's

Communications. “Duke University, home to many current and former McDonald’s All-Americans, provides

one of the most exciting venues to play our game.”

Duke has had more than 30

McDonald’s All-America players compete for the Blue Devils, including Shane Battier and Jason Williams, who earned McDonald’s national player of the year honors in their prep days.

“We have been fortunate to have a number of players from the McDonald’s All-America teams play at Duke during my time,” said Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski. “I am pleased that McDonald’s recognized the special nature of Cameron and awarded us this game.”

Approximately 1,500 top high school basketball players from across the country will be nominated to the McDonald’s All-American Team in early January. A selection committee, chaired by Morgan Wooten, head coach of DeMatha in School High Catholic Hyattsville,Md., and also including legendary UCLA coach John Wooden, selects the final team members in mid-February.

It builds confidence, it builds self-esteem, it builds the whole team chemistry.”

The third quarter saw even more deadlock as the two teams traded goals.

Duke took a two-goal lead, but Maryland yet again returned late in the quarter to score two more goals, tying the game up once more, setting the stage for Duke’s

Farewell to Carrawell: Duke’s lone senior goes out his way At some point during the last year, Chris Carrawell realized how his career had to end.

For the St. Louis, Mo. native, there was no choice: what had once been undreamable was suddenly the only conclusion possible.

Brody Greenwald Game Commentary It would be with a win against archrival North Carolina in Cameron Indoor Stadium on Senior Day; not even Chris Carrawell could dream up a more suitable way to close out one of Duke’s finest four-year careers in program history.

“I couldn’t imagine a better ending,” Carrawell said. “When I started to think last year that I was going to be the only senior, I looked on the schedule and saw that our last game was at home against Carolina. I was like, That’s the making of a great story.’ It certainly ended up that way.”

The regular-season ending to Carrawell’s story was better than great, it was perfect.

Minutes before the tipoff of Duke’s 9076 victory over the Tar Heels Saturday afternoon, the stadium lights were turned off and flashes from cameras began popping. After a round of hugs from each of his teammates, the only Blue Devil senior trotted out into the

SENIOR CHRIS CARRAWELL closed out his Cameron career Saturday afternoon against the archrival Tar Heels.

spotlight reserved for him as 9,314 fans—including Carrawell’s mother, JoAnne, who made her first-ever visit to Cameron—said good-bye to the player who has become known simply as C-well.

Following several waves to the crowd, Carrawell walked over to the Duke bench, located his mom and escorted her out to centercourt where the gracious champion and his beaming mother hugged and acknowledged the screaming score offans who, even in the upper deck, refused to take their seats.

“It was very emotional; I was nervous—l was nervous even before coming to the gym,” he said. “I woke up earlier than I usually do, anticipating coming here for the last time.

“I kept on taking deep breaths so I wouldn’t lose it out there and start crying and not be able to play the game.

Definitely, it was great to be able to bring my mom out there for her first time in Cameron. It was just a great feeling and I thank the fans for that.”

It’s easy now to see that this was how it had to happen for the player who has gone 46-2 his last three regular seasons in the conference. But if the preparation for Saturday’s celebrations had begun when Carrawell arrived at Duke, he would have only been an afterthought.

Hailing from one of the more troubled neighborhoods of St. Louis, Carrawell admits that few people from his hometown gave him a chance to succeed and that he even questioned whether he could make it here, either as a student or as a basketball player.

Yet, Mike Krzyzewski believed in Carrawell and recruited him as the third most-prized piece of the onceimpressive Class of 2000. Despite his evident potential, Carrawell was rated below fellow classmates Nate James and Mike Chappell.

But then things changed. James suffered a season-ending knee injury that forced him to redshirt the 1997-’9B season and Chappell transferred to Michigan

State

after his sophomore season.

Suddenly, Carrawell was the Class of 2000, “Coming here with Nate and Mike, those guys were definitely more highly touted than I was,”Carrawell said. “[As a freshman,] I was lucky to get on the court, so when [Krzyzewski] said, Tou’re going to play center,’ I was like, ‘OK, Anything to get on the court.’” that day— enough, Fittingly Carrawell’s first career start—came against the Tar Heels on an afternoon when Trajan Langdon’s missile from the corner ended four-and-a-half years of UNC domination. Perhaps even more Carrawell appropriately, guarded Carolina’s Antawn Jamison, which epitomized a trend that would continuefor four years as Duke’s defensive stopper would frequently move out of position to defend the opposition’s most talented player.

Like so many other great stories, Chris Carrawell’s ended right where it began—in Cameron with a win over UNC. Not surprisingly, despite many great performances by his teammates, it was Carrawell who slammed the door shut on any possibility of a Tar Heel comeback.

After Joseph Forte cut the Blue Devil lead to 11 with 1:41 remaining, Carrawell buried two free throws and picked the ball from Cota as he sailed coast-to-coast for an emphatic one-handed jam, the final two points of his regular-season career.

Fifty-three seconds later, Nick Horvath re-entered the game, and Carrawell’s fantastic ride was finally, over. When Chris Carrawell looks back on Saturday’s game, he won’t remember his four steals, his four assists, his seven rebounds or even his 21 points, but he won’t soon forget how, after four years of paying his dues, everything on his day was perfect.

“It’s nice to celebrate a kid who has been here for four years and who has done it all,” Krzyzewski said. “It’s terrific. I don’t know what amount of money that’s worth, [but] a lifetime of memories is priceless. That’s what Chris Carrawell has had this year.”

The Chronicle

It was David and

Goliath, round two.

However, this time David didn’t have any rocks left in his slingshot. The Yellow Jackets had knocked off N.C. State in the quarterfinals just one night earlier, but fatigue and a near triple-double from Lauren Rice spoiled Georgia Tech’s bid to pull off back-to-back upsets.

Bob Wells

Game Commentary

“The game was lost in the first half,” Tech coach Agnus Berenato said. “We missed 12 layups and Duke made 12 layups. That was the game right there. As coaches, we try to get our team the best shots possible and the layup is a pretty good shot. We just have to make those layups. Yesterday, we hit our layups much better than we did today.”

The Yellow Jackets were visibly fatigued from the opening tip and Duke further contributed to their fatigue by taking advantage of its superior bench, using nine players in the first half alone. The Blue Devils wore down the Yellow Jackets by constantly applying full-court pressure and forcing Tech to work hard for every basket.

The Yellow Jackets finished with only six fast-break points and seldom had uncontested looks at the basket. Duke also held Danielle Donehew, one of the ACC’s premier three-point shooters, to just two field goals and didn’t allow her to get on track from beyond the arc.

“I was really pleased with our team’s overall effort,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Our bench in particular did a fantastic job today. I think that was important for us.

“I give Agnus a lot of credit. They were playing their best basketball. I just think they got a little fatigued down the stretch.

I told our team before the game that our goal was to wear them down a little bit and that it was going to be methodical.”

Rice, who came just one assist shy of a triple-double, also contributed to the demise of the Yellow Jackets. The senior from Peru, Ind., turned in one of her best performances of the season, and sent the Yellow Jackets into preparations for the upcoming WNIT tournament.

Rice collected 10 rebounds to go along with her nine assists and 14 points. She knocked down four of her six shot attempts, including 2-of-4 three pointers and was a perfect 4-of-4 from the charity stripe. More importantly, it was her versatility that was invaluable to her team.

When Duke rested its guards in the second half to prepare for tonight’s championship contest, Rice played the point guard position for several minutes of the game. She gave the ball away just three times in 28 minutes of play, rather impressive for a player who logs most of her minutes at the center position.

“What goes around comes around,” Berenato joked. “We knew that Lauren was a senior and we wanted to be nice to her. We wanted Lauren to experience the euphoria of a triple-double.”

ANALYSIS

Frontcu Backourt

Barksdale has been a phenomenal force for the Tar Heels all season and has played even better in the tournament. The junior scored the winning basket in both of North Carolina’s first two games in the tournament.

Although Parent did a solid defensive job against AllACC performer Latavia Coleman, she will have her hands full against Barksdale.

Perhaps the highlight of UNC's tournament run thus far in the tournament has been the debut of the “Teasley twitch." The flashy guard has boogied down often after drilling one of her passes or hitting a shot the last two days. And the way she has been playing, she’s had plenty of chances to audition for Soul Train.

But Duke’s backcourt isn’t half bad.

Jackie Higgins headlines UNC’s bench, which brings more in quantity than quality. But Higgins is much SZ perhaps the best bench player in the ACC. The powero ful center is an adept passer, a reasonably sound ballc handler. a capable scorer and a ferocious rebounder.

Although Michele Matyasovsky has played extremely well of late, UNC still brings more off the pine.

Women’s tennis nearly pulls off upset against No. 4 Gators Duke fell down 4-2 after singles, but managed to tie Florida before falling to the Gators for the 23rd time in 25 tries.

By RAY HOLLOMAN The Chronicle

Florida Duke

5 Just when the improba-

ble comeback for the even

4 more improbable victory seemed like a sure thing, it all ended.

After rallying from a 6-3 deficit to tie the No. 3 doubles match at 7-7, the Blue Devils’ Kathy Sell and Katie Granson were blitzed in the final two games, falling to Florida’s Baili Camino and Stephanie Hazlett 9-7,

handing the Gators the match-clinch-

ing fifth point and their 23rd win in 25 matches against the Blue Devils Saturday afternoon.

“We had an opportunity to win it and show how good we are and we didn’t,” Sell said. “We had a chance and we didn’t execute. That’s the bottom line.”

The No. 4 Gators (7-0) took a 4-2 advantage in singles, forcing the No. 7 Blue Devils (6-4) to sweep the doubles lineup as the 9:30 a.m. match entered its third hour at a cold and overcast Duke Tennis Stadium.

Duke’s top two doubles teams got off to a quick start as the match again grew tense.

The Blue Devils’ No. 2 doubles team of top seed Megan Miller and freshman Hillary Adams jumped out to a 5-2

THE BLUE DEVILS have now lost to Florida in 23 of the 25 times they’ve met, including last year’s NCAA semifinal match.

lead, while Erica Biro and Brooke Siebel went up a break at 4-3.

But on court No. 3, Sell and Granson—who would later admit she was playing with a strained stomach muscle—quickly fell behind Baili Camino and Stephanie Hazlett 5-2.

Then came the rally.

The two teams traded serves to make the score 6-3 and then with the momentum beginning to swing as Siebel and Biro walked off the court with a 8-4 win, the Blue Devil duo picked up a break and held serve to pull within 6-5.

Sell and Granson forced Florida’s No. 3 team to a 7-7 tie, but that’s as close as the Blue Devils would come to victory.

“I was short-tempered and Katie was hurting,” Sell said. “We were giving them too much at the beginning, we were frustrated. If we had gotten off to a better start, it would’ve been entirely different.”

And maybe fittingly enough, it was Hazlett who ended the match.

A year ago it had been the thenjunior’s backhand winner in a third-set tiebreak against Karen Goldstein that had sent the Blue Devils packing from the national championships in Gainesville,'Fla. And in singles Saturday it was her grueling three-set victory that in all likelihood was the game-clincher.

After the two teams swapped twoset wins—Florida’s Jessica Lehnhoff won easily at No. 2 and Duke’s Granson followed suit at No. 6—the remaining four matches all went to a third set.

As the match’s momentum hung in the balance—every two-game run seemed to be countered by a threegame run—Hazlett forced her way back into a match from a 4-1 third set deficit against Sell, one of the nation’s toughest players.

Hazlett rallied to pull back on serve at 5-4, and after picking up a break in the next game, the Florida junior who struggled most of the match with her

game, didn’t lose another, clinching the first, three-set match of the day 7-5 in the third.

“She’s money when it comes down to it,” said Sell. “She wasn’t on top of her game most of the way, but she always comes up with the big shot. She never beats herself.”

Miller would tie the match back up seven minutes later with one of her best win of the year, a three-set victory over Whitney Laiho.

But with the momentum still in Florida’s favor from the Hazlett win, No. 5 seed Traci Green finished off Siebel, who had her own rally fall from down 5-1 in the third set to 5-4 fall just short of turning the match.

The fourth seed Adams never gained control of the third set of her match with Camino, falling down a break at 3-2 and walking off the court four games later as the Blue Devils trailed by the 4-2 margin they would not overcome.

But Duke didn’t have to wait long to get back on the winning track. A 6-3 win over Illinois Sunday put Duke back on the winning track, albeit in somewhat anticlimactic fashion.

“It was a good rebound win,” Sell said. “You come back out and play. Now we go to the rest of the season.”

By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle

The baseball team squared off against the Elon Fighting Christians (13-4) this weekend at Historic Jack Coombs Field, and the result left coach Bill Hillier struggling for an acceptable way to explain his thoughts.

“I can’t honestly tell you what’s on my mind,” he said. “You wouldn’t want to put it in print.”

The Blue Devils lost all three games this weekend and dropped to a disappointing 5-13 on the season. Duke lost game one 6-0 on Friday, fumbled game two 7-3 then lost 12-9 on Sunday at Elon to end a weekend that left everyone involved with the program extremely frustrated.

“We’re not very good. You can quote me on that,” said Hillier. “We’re not very good right now.”

The loss puts the Blue Devils in a difficult situation as they are already eight games under .500, and have yet to begin ACC play. Last year, Duke was 4-18 in the conference.

Early problems inevitably lead to questions of blame. Hillier’s response to question as to what was behind the Blue Devils’ early struggles indicate he intends to accept a share of the responsibility. “[The problem isl poor coaching,” he said. “Someone has to teach them how to hit, and I guess we haven’t taught them how to yet. We haven’t done a good enough job as coaches The hitting woes Hillier spoke of ”

were apparent all weekend. In Friday’s shutout loss, the Blue Devils only managed four hits. During game two, Duke led 3-1 after three innings, but the

Blue Devils produced only two hits in the final six innings en route to a 7-3 loss. On Sunday, the Blue Devils scored nine runs, but still mustered only seven hits.

Hillier said part of the reason for Duke’s hitting woes lies in the players’ attitudes.

“One reason we’re not hitting is that when they go to the plate they don’t think they’re going to hit,” he said. “When that happens you’re not going to hit “They aren’t mentally tough right now.”

Duke has coupled its lack of hitting with a series of defensive miscues. In Sunday’s 12-9 loss, the Blue Devils made seven errors.

These mistakes have left Hillier less than pleased.

“I’m upset,” he said. Tm a very intense competitor and I don’t like losing. I’m upset at my team. My team isn’t competing hard “I was hired to build a team and I’m going to build it. I said when I took this job that this team was going to compete hard, and we’re not competing hard.

You can lose, but when you don’t compete, I can’t take that. These guys have got the rest of the year to show me they’re good enough to play in this program. Otherwise, I’m going to find other players.”

Root drops bitter match; Duke still prevails in squeaker

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

Duke

In tennis, it’s the least4 gratifying way to win a 3 game or even a set, much

Illinois less an entire match.

But when Illinois’ JeffLaski doublefaulted away the third-set tiebreaker of his No. 2 singles match against Duke’s Ramsey Smith yesterday, the thirdranked Blue Devils (7-1) weren’t about to complain.

With Duke leading the lOth-ranked Illini by a score of 3-1, the Blue Devils needed a win from in any one of the three singles matches still being played.

Although Illinois would later win the No. 4 and No. 5 singles matches, Duke sealed a 4-3 victory, its first outdoor win of the season, when Laski’s second serve fell just inches long at 5-6 in the decisive tiebreaker, capping a run of three straight points by Smith.

“He was up 5-4 [in the tiebreaker] and he had been serving really big,” Smith said. “I knew I just had to stay with my serve and hang in there, and he kindly double-faulted there at‘'match point.”

Although Smith’s duel with Laski ended up being the deciding contest, all eyes were on the action taking place on court one. In the most colorful and least-

sportsmanlike match of the day, two of the nation’s top-40 players were dishing out more verbal attacks than volley

exchanges.

When 37th-ranked Doug Root learned he would face 25th-ranked Cary Franklin in the battle of No. 1 singles players, he knew he was in for an atypical afternoon. “[Franklin] is not one of the most well-liked guys around,” Root said. “I’ve known him for a while. He is traditionally like that—he makes questionable calls and he is totally obnoxious.”

Early in the match, Root played well as he broke to take a 4-2 lead and then held serve to move within a game of the first set at 5-2. But then, with the first set well within reach, Root began to collapse and the Illini senior reeled off 12 unanswered points to win three consecutive love games and knot the game score at 5-5.

Franklin’s open-court winner to hold to 5-3 was followed by a stare aimed directly at Root, which drew the crowd into the match as the fans began taunting Illinois’ top player. Moments later, after Root dumped a backhand slice into the net to give Franklin back the break and make the score 5-4, Franklin turned to the crowd and for the second time mocked Duke’s supporters by putting his finger to his lips.

The gamesmanship had begun, and it was a battle that Root would not survive. After both players held serve to force a tiebreaker, Root called a second serve at 2-0 long, but the umpire overruled Root and awarded Franklin the point.

Root never recovered from that point as Franklin dominated the tiebreaker, winning it at love, and jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the second set courtesy ofRoot’s many mistakes. When Franklin

ripped a crushing forehand up the line to complete the 7-6 (7-0), 6-3 victory, he turned to the crowd once again, this time smiling at them and derisively bowing amidst many jeers.

“It was funny because once the crowd got on Cary a lot, he started playing a lot better,” Duke coach Jay Lapidus said.

“So sometimes the crowd works against you by getting the other guy fired up.

Doug just tried to stay out of it, keep his head down and not get involved in the verbal match, but in the end Cary just played better.”

Despite Root’s loss, the Blue Devils won three out of the six singles matches as Andres Pedroso and Marko Cerenko both crushed their opponents in straightset wins. In the doubles action, Duke claimed the critical point by winning at both first and third doubles. Duke’s combination of Porter Jones and Michael Yani defeated the No. 3 tandem from Illinois 8-4, while Root and Smith edged out Franklin and Graydon Oliver 8-6 behind two strong serving performances.

Dunleavy says he’s better than 50-50 for ACCs, coach disagrees nailed a three from well beyond the arc—his sixth of the game. Battier went 6-for-9 on three pointers, just three days after a 7-for-10 performance against Clemson Wednesday night. He finished with a gamehigh 30 points, continuing his recent offensive outburst.

“The way he’s been playing, he’s making the player of the year race kind of interesting,” Carrawell said. “I told Shane, go out there and score 40 if you have to, I

don’t want it to be over yet.”

The bright spots for Carolina came in the play of Forte and Brendan Haywood. Forte finished the game with 24 points, six rebounds and five assists.

Haywood blocked six shots and shut down Boozer early in the game.

“He’s a really big fellow,” Boozer said. “I had to adjust in the second half, start using my quickness to get around him.”

Coming off the bench after Boozer picked up two quick fouls, Matt Christensen achieved considerable success against Haywood. He grabbed four offensive rebounds over Haywood, helping offset Duke’s 39.5 percent shooting in the first half.

Christensen helped ease fears about the Blue Devil bench during Mike Dunleavy’s bout with mononucleosis. Coach Mike Krzyzewski said another reason for the team’s success was the extended TV timeouts.

“The TV timeouts were so long that our guys got a lot of rest,” Krzyzewski said. “I didn’t have to go into the bench as much.”

Krzyzewski may or may not have to keep dealing with a non-Dunleavy bench. He asked to suit up for the game and was able to do 45 minutes on the stationary bike, but could not participate in the warm-up.

“Right now, he’s still very, very doubtful for the ACC tournament,” Krzyzewski said.

In the locker room after the game, however, Dunleavy said he felt good and estimated his own chances at playing in the ACCs at “better than 50-50.”

Regardless, Dunleavy will be tested again tomorrow and his situation will be re-assessed.

For now, however, the Blue Devils were just happy to pull through a quality win.

“A win against Carolina is a win against Carolina,” Battier said. “For the sake of my mom and dad, who have coronaries every time we play them, it’s nice to have a comfortable win.”

Hoover, Smith’s 3rd-place finishes highlight Duke’s ACCs

By CHRISTINA PETERSEN The Chronicle After a disappointing 3-12-1 (0-5 in

the ACC) season, the Duke wrestling traveled to the ACC team Championships at Maryland on Saturday to try for redemption.

Two third-place finishes marked the Blue Devils’ highest showing at College Park, with sophomore roommates Matt Hoover and Daegan Smith winning the consolation brackets in both of their weight classes.

The 174-lb. Hoover fell to eventual champion Corey Bell of UNC and then went on to avenge an earlier 1-0 loss to Virginia’s Steve Mazzola, 5-1.

Hoover has had some big shoes to fill this season, taking the place of Duke’s last ACC champion, Matt Mapes, who competed in the 174 class before he graduated last spring.

Smith, who wrestled in the 197-lb. weight class, fell in a close match to N.C. State’s Jason Gore, 6-5. The match proved an improvement over the duo’s last meeting in Durham, when Gore scored a 20-5 technical fall over Smith in the 31-9 loss.

Smith then outgrappled Cavalier Jim Massey, 12-4, whom he had already beaten in the Blue Devil’s regular season loss.

Duke posted five fourth-place finishes as former ACC wrestlers of the week Tommy Hoang and Tom Cass won two contention and consolation matches in the 125 and 184 classes. Also placing fourth were junior Sean Meakim at 133, Mike Mitchell at 165 and senior heavyweight Alex Hunt.

Hoang lost to eventual champion and nationally ranked Tar Heel Skyler Holman, in a close match, 8-6. Hoang rode Holman for almost a minute and a half, and then allowed Holman to reverse him for the two-point takedown.

The Blue Devils’ fifth-place finishers included sophomore Geoff Anderson, freshman Andy Soliman and sophomore Harry Clarke. Clarke has produced the most wins this season for Duke, sporting a 19-11record in the 141 weight class, but failed to win a single match on Saturday.

“We definitely weren’t the best team out there, but I’m looking forward to a better mentality on the team for next year,” Hoang said.

Hurricanes upset St. John’s, take share of Big East crown Bv JOE DRAPE

N.Y. Times News Service

When the final hom sounded MIAMI Miami 74 yesterday aftemoon St. John’s’ Bootsy St. John’s 70 Thornton retreated to the safety of the bench and sat alone as the Miami students stampeded the floor to celebrate a 74-70 overtime victory and a piece of the Big East Conference regular-season championship.

Thornton had been run over enough by the Hurricanes. The same was true for St. John’s in a 45minute slam dance complete with jersey tugs, hip checks and hammerlocks that left the Red Storm seeded third in the conference tournament, which begins Wednesday.

Unranked Miami emerged with its first title since 1965, when Rick Barry led the Hurricanes to the Florida Intercollegiate Conference title.

In the last six minutes of regulation and in overtime, the game resembled a shirts-and-skins match.

There were bone-jarring fouls and many trips to the foul line.

“It was aggressive out there,” said Lavor Posted, who led St. John’s with 16 points. “The refs let us play.

There were missed calls on both ends of the court, so I can’t complain. They just outhustled us.”

Long before Mario Bland, a 6-foot-6, 265-pound senior playing his last game at home, made a jumper from the foul line with 2.6 seconds left in regulation to >

tie the score, 62-62, the Hurricanes showed themselves masters of the mosh pit. Miami outrebounded the Red Storm, 45-36.

“We knew it was going to be a war because guys like Anthony Glover and Posted are hard-nosed warriors,” said Bland, whose 19 points helped lead the Hurricanes (20-9, 13-3 Big East).

In tying Syracuse for the Big East regular-season title, Miami will be seeded second in the conference

tournament at Madison Square Garden. St. John’s could have tied Syracuse for the title and earned the top seeding with a victory.

The 18th-ranked Red Storm (21-7, 12-4) seemed intimidated by the Hurricanes and the noisy crowd of 7,158 at Miami Arena.

St. John’s, which had an eight-game winning streak on the line, had the services of Erick Barkley, who was coming back from a one-game suspension for accepting aide from Riverside Church for prep school tuition aid.

It didn’t matter.

The Red Storm’s troubles at the foul line in regulation extended into overtime. St. John’s, which was 19 of 28, missed four foul shots in the final 10 minutes of regulation, two of them on the front end of one-andone situations.

“You can’t be a championship team and not make free

throws,” said Dermon Player, St. John’s assistant coach.

The Red Storm’s free-throw problems helped Miami trim a seven-point deficit to one and set up a strange call. With 35 seconds left and the Red Storm ahead by 61-60, Postell drove left into the lane, vaulted over Hemsley and hit a 12-foot shot that was accompanied by whistles—two of them. Referee John Cahill, stationed at the top of the key, called charging; his colleague Will Bush, standing on the baseline, ruled that basket was good, called holding on Hemsley and awarded a free throw.

After a midcourt meeting, the officials waved off the basket, issued fouls to both Postell and Hemsley and gave the ball to St. John’s. After the game, Cahill said it was a “simple double foul.” St. John’s coach Mike Jarvis called it creative, and said the ruling would go “down in the books.”

Still, the Red Storm could have gone up by 63-60

when Barkley went to the foul line for two free throws with 14 seconds left. But the sophomore, who had not practiced since last Monday, the day before his one-game suspension, missed the first foul shot before hitting the second one and leaving the door open for Bland.

“My timing was off,” said Barkley, who scored 15 points on 5-of-15 shooting. He denied, however, that the Hurricane fans—who rattled keys in reference to the car-swapping incident that cost him a two-game suspension last month and waved money to taunt him over the the tuition-aid suspension—affected him.

“When they try to bring up the past, it’s kind of silly,” he said. “But it’s part of life. It makes me stronger.”

In overtime, Barkley hit a three-pointer to tie the score, 67-67, with 2:02 left and St. John’s was poised to make one last push for the conference tournament’s top seeding.

The next ethnic cleansing?

NATO should address the latest strife between ethnic Albanians and Serbia with restraint and caution police and military presence in the area,

Worldview

The name of the town is very similar to Kosovo. It is certainly starting to look like Kosovo. And it very well could be the next Kosovo. The town is Presevo, a village in southwest Serbia just outside Kosovo. Like Kosovo, the ethnicity of the residents is primarily Albanian, but it falls inside Serbian territory—and it has the potential to be even more complex and lethal then Kosovo was.

Presevo, along with the neighboring villages of Buand janovac Medveda, have a disproportion-

including, according to rumor, burning houses —a tactic reminiscent of the Kosovo massacres. More violent action between Albanian and Serbian forces seems less a question of “if’ and more a question of “when.”

The United States, for its part, fears that this may be an attempt by Albanians to provoke harsh Serbian retaliation, which would in turn force another NATO intervention and thus free more territory from Serbia. Some fear that this may be a plot of Albanian nationalists to carve out their own new state from the Albanian populations of Kosovo, Serbia, neighboring Macedonia and Albania itself.

Secretary of State Madeline Albright and Wesley against Clark, the top commander of extremistsl NATO forces in Kosovo, met

themselves the Presevo, Bujanovac and Medveda Liberation Army, a direct reference to the Kosovo Liberation Army—have bombed three police stations in the area, and its snipers have claimed the lives ofseveral Serbian police officers. In response, Belgrade has stepped up its

leaders of Albanian communities in Tirana to warn against the creation of such a “Greater Albania.” Even the top United Nations official in Kosovo sees the conflict as a ploy by Albanian extremists to draw NATO into the struggle for independence and urges his organization to act with caution to avoid this situation.

It seems ironic that the West fears the creation of a “Greater Albania” when most of the last decade was spent crusading against the threat of a “Greater Serbia.” Of course, concern over an Albanian “superstate” is nothing new; during the Kosovo crisis, NATO insisted that Kosovo would not become independent and cautioned extremists against

ately large A1 banian population—some of whom itch to join Kosovo. The three-village arc is called “Eastern Kosovo” by its more militant Albanian inhabitants, and comprise 70,000 Albanians in an area one-lOth the size ofKosovo.

Violence in Presevo between Serbian forces and Albanian paramilitaries has increased in a manner eerily reminiscent of Kosovo. The militants—calling

spreading the conflict to neighboring

Albanian populations.

So the question at hand has become: how much will NATO let Serbian forces retaliate against Albanian extremists?

How long until memories of Kosovo’s ethnic cleansing are renewed? NATO certainly does not want to see Serbia fall apart into ethnic strife nor see the emergence of a “Greater Albania.” On the other hand, NATO did intervene in Kosovo to prevent ethnic cleansing to stop violence against Albanians.

The answer? NATO must exercise extreme restraint. Although nobody wants to see more attacks on Albanians by the Serbs, there is more to the picture. NATO achieved a shaky peace in Kosovo and should strive to protect it, not waste it. Settling differences between Serb and Albanian is proving difficult enough just in Kosovo; one needs only look at the

mobs from both sides that stoned NATO troops last week in the town of Mitrovica. How much more difficult would this be in Serbia?

Should we applaud the Serbs’ actions? Of course not. But we should accept the lesser of the two evils, especially when the retaliation by Serbs is being provoked by extremists with designs on Serbian territory. NATO has achieved a lot in Kosovo, and to risk it all by falling into a trap that even the United Nations condemns as foolhardy.

Let us see this ruse for what it is and not be tricked into giving up all that we won in Kosovo. Presevo is not ethnic cleansing and it is not worth Kosovo. We do not have to condone the Serbian actions, but we must acknowledge that we both share an interest in maintaining peace and stability in the region.

WONDERBOY and NASTYMAN think Bazinsky is short Monday, Monday WONDERBOY

&

NASTYMAN

It's 12:30 a.m. and our editor just called to tell us that last Thursday's Duke Student Government elections just got thrown out. But you know what? Who cares.

Given recent events, this column now makes very little sense, but here it is unfiltered and unadulterated. Enjoy.

WONDERBOY and NASTYMAN are ready to make a foray into the field of political commentary.

What you are about to read may shock and offend you—or it may arouse you; we really have no way of knowing these things.

Congratulations to Trinity junior Jordan Bazinsky, who received 26.6 percent of the vote on his way to victory over the Germans... or was it for the Duke Student Government presidency? We just don’t know. Wow, Jordan must feel great that he has the approval of almost 27 percent out of the whopping 2,197 undergraduates who voted for president. For those of you counting at home, that is an entire 585 votes, or approximately 200 votes for each foot of Jordan’s height. We tried to catch Jordan for an interview this past Friday to get his thoughts on the election, but he was unavailable for comment because of a prior commitment to the midget wrestling booth at WCW Campus Clash.

The Chronicle placed Bazinsky in heady company by referring to the little scrapper as “Air Jordan” in the top headline in its Friday edition. Friends tell us that the undersized Bazinsky earned the moniker because of the seven feet of air between his head and the rim.

Bazinsky also recently had a run in with the original Air Jordan, NBA legend Michael Jordan himself.

When asked about his new pal, M.J. responded, “He’s a really great guy. We had some laughs, shot some hoops, and I even got to lift him up above my head so he could slam one down, just like me.”

CBS color commentator and political-correctness guru Billy Packer also chimed in with thoughts about the new DSG president in a recent interview.

“Since when do they let women be president at a school like this? Isn’t there a women’s college she could go run?”

“Mr. Packer, Jordan is a boy.”

“What? I know she is a little flat-chested and wears her hair pretty butch, but aren’t most boys taller than that?” And ifyou think Billy is joking, he’s not, because that’s just the type of guy he is.

For those ofyou that missed the point of the last few paragraphs, we are trying to say that Jordan Bazinsky is short. Does this mean that he’ll make a bad president? Probably. Now you must think we are just picking on poor Jordan this week—you know, because he has a little height problem—but we actually had a paragraph for each of the 43 other candidates for president. If you would like to read them, just send $lO to us, care of The Chronicle, and we will be sure to get them to you as fast as humanly possible.

Moving on, Emily Grey secured the nod as the new vice president for facilities and athletics in a landslide, but we are not sure she can handle the job.

Sure, women have made great strides in the 20th century, but are we really ready to let one of them have any say over athletics? We love watching lesbians run around after each other as much as the next guy, but the fact of the matter is that more people could pick Ryan Caldbeck out of a lineup than any member of

one of our many highly ranked women’s teams.

Funding for the previous paragraph was provided

by Billy Packer and his foundation, Billy’s Institute for Telling Chicks How it is. Because as everyone knows, nothing quite says BITCH like Billy Packer.

You probably saw us at the basketball game Saturday. We were the people trying to punch Dick Vitale in the head when he was doing his annual crowd surfing schtick. We like being in Cameron Indoor Stadium when Vitale calls games because, if nothing else, at least we don’t have to listen to him.

Dickie V. says “baby” more than an ’Bos rock song, and we are pretty sure he has some sort of incentive clause in his contract for using alliteration. Can you believe that this guy was a coach back in the day? If a short bald guy tried to recruit one of us by telling us that we were super, scintillating and/or spectacular, we would probably just punch him in the stomach. He would say something along the lines of, “You can come be a Diaper Dandy for me.” That’s when we would call the cops and tell them there is an insane pervert trying to get us to dress up like babies and play basketball with him. And then we would punch him in the stomach.

Games on national television amuse the hell out of us anyway. We bet you every one of those people joyously lofting Dickie over their heads go home and talk about how annoying he is. There is nothing that gets folks acting stupider than the prospect of being on television. If Coach K is really serious about getting the Crazies more excited at games, all he has to do is pay 50 to 60 guys to walk around with video cameras that say “ABC” on them, and we will be good to go.

WONDERBOY and NASTYMAN would like to endorse Roger Chin for all DSC positions, because homeboy is 100% kick-ass.

Underdog candidates make last stand Tues. � SUPER TUESDAY from page 2 interests. Now we find out what a deep

pocket that is.”

Two Texas brothers and prominent Bush supporters, Sam and Charles Wyly, are spending $2.5 million on ads attacking McCain’s environmental record. Bush has denied any connection or prior knowledge of the ads.

Bush spokeswoman Karen Hughes fired back: ‘That has a terrible ring of hypocrisy coming from somebody who raised money at a Buddhist temple and whose fund-raiser was just convicted on felony charges as a result. The ad was an independent expenditure. We knew nothing about it, and we abide by the law.”

Speaking with reporters Sunday in Oakland, Calif., a confident Bush said he had plans for the party when he becomes its nominee for president.

“I intend to unify the party and then I intend to reach out like I’ve done in the state of Texas and attract voters who may not have come into our primary,” the Texas governor said.

Republicans compete Tuesday in 13 states for 613 delegates, and Democrats battle in 15 states for 1,315 delegates—more than half the total each party requires of its nominees. Spanning from Maine to California, the contests amounted to the closest the country has ever come to a national primary.

While Bradley is foundering across the board, McCain is doing well in New England but is threatened by the Texas governor everywhere else—New York is close, with new polls giving Bush an edge.

Bush holds a yawning lead over McCain among California Republicans, who award 162 delegates in the winner-takeall primary. The Arizona senator could still win the state’s nonbinding popular vote, which would give him shaky platform to argue he is the better general

a $2 million ad campaign by Bush allies.

The Texas governor denied involvement

in the ad campaign, but refused to ask his allies to pull the ads, saying, ‘That’s what free speech is all about.”

McCain said the ads criticizing his environmental record in the Senate illustrate why he wants to overhaul the financing of federal campaigns.

“Governor Bush ought to be ashamed of this,” he said, taking a swipe at Bush’s own environmental record by calling Texas the “worst violator” of clean air regulations; Bush also is running ads in New York state questioning McCain’s commitment to fighting breast cancer. McCain’s sister suffers from the disease, and Bush

said last week that is “all the more reason to remind” McCain of his record.

“I wonder if someone who would treat a situation like that is ready for prime time,” McCain said Sunday, his eyes narrowing as he shrugged his shoulders. He compared Bush to Steve Forbes, who picked apart Bob Dole’s Senate record in the 1996 GOP primary.

‘This kind of negative attack just shows that Bush wants to win in the worst way,” said McCain, who appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation and NBC’s Meet the Press.

Bush said McCain’s position on breast cancer is documented on his Internet site. “My response (to McCain) is the Republican Party and independents are going to nominate me because I’m talking about things that matter to Americans,” said Bush, who appeared on CBS and ABC’s This Week.

Bradley was less critical of his rival than McCain, but passed up a chance to say Gore was honorable.

“I think he distorted the record,” he said. “I had hoped that we could get to an election where people could be choosing election candidate. between two politicians they esteem as Of that scenario, Bush said: “First it’s opposed to one they can barely tolerate.”

He did say he thought the negativity of important to get the delegates. The delegates are what determine who becomes the campaign had “calmed down” in the last two weeks. the nominee.”

Gore acknowledged easing up on Bush holds wide leads in Georgia, Missouri and Ohio.

“I thought that his tone changed in nonbinding popular vote in California to stay in the race.

Getting a Summer Internship Okay, so you missed the Summer Opportunities Fair on February 2nd...and somehow you couldn’t quite get organized to drive up to Washington for the D. C. Government and Non-Profit Expo a couple of weeks ago. Does this mean that you will be spending your summer babysitting and hanging out at the mall? Of course not!

“Because the Jew has been reduced in the most typical forms of anti-Semitism as a non-producer, he represents the bare life that the sovereign wants to eliminate,” Levinson said. ‘The Jew stands for one who imitates

Levinson said racism often derives from a type of panic disorder in society in which people have a constant fear of being replaced by others. “There exists the panic of the other who could take my place,” Levinson said.

Coupled with this fear ofreplacement is the fear of inadequacy. Levinson said the dread of others is intensified as the realization that one’s position in life is always in jeopardy.

though McKissick acknowledges the existence of some “voices of reluctance,” based on competing needs for funding, he feels confident of the proposal’s swift passage.What could be a problem for city leaders, however, is acquiring funds for the many projects.

Jim Goodmon, owner of the Durham Bulls and Capitol Broadcasting Co., has

asked the city for $45 million to offset the cost of the American Tobacco warehouse development. Whether he is successful in getting those funds may help predict the future success of Durham’s revitalization.

“The key will be the city finding the resources to implement the plan-,” Kalkhof said.
