Judge says VP Gore proposes e-govemment plan Microsoft must split

By TIM MILLINGTON The Chronicle RALEIGH Almost eight years ago, Vice President Al Gore took on the task of reinventing government. More recently, Gore has been ridiculed for implying he invented the Internet. On

� Federal Judge Thomas Jackson

yesterday ordered the software giant to draft a plan to divide itself into two companies.

By LARRY MARGASAK Associated Press

WASHINGTON A federal judge ordered the breakup of Microsoft Corp.

Wednesday, declaring the software giant that spurred an explosion in home computing should be split into two because it “proved untrustworthy in the past.”

“Microsoft, as it is presently organized and led, is unwilling to accept the notion that it broke the law,” U.S. District Judge Thomas Jackson wrote as he ordered the most dramatic antitrust breakup since AT&T in 1984.

Monday, Gore combined the two, offering voters a plan to build on the first initiative using the second.

During a stop at North Carolina State University’s Centennial Campus, Gore promised a “second American Revolution—to make our selfgovernment far less costly, far more effective and far more relevant to every American.” His proposal would use the world wide web to cut the tangles of federal bureaucracy.

“I will work for an e-government that uses the Internet and information technology to make real improvements and real empowerment to all our people,” he said.

The vice president’s plan for e-govemment would replace phone calls and office visits with instant electronic access to federal services—“government online so you don’t have to stand in

Grad students gain b-ball tickets To provide the extra seats, undergraduates will lose 100 spaces

By REBECCA YANG The Chronicle

The average age of a Cameron Crazy just increased a little bit.

In response to a Graduate and Professional Student Council request, the Athletic Department recently increased the number of men’s basketball season tickets available to graduate and professional students from 600 to 700 These 100 spaces will be taken from what is now the undergraduate seating section.

“Grad students have always been knocking on the door to get into the games all season long,” said zoology graduate student Louis D’Amico, cochair of GPSC’s Basketball Ticket

Committee. “There haven’t been many times I’ve seen the graduate Joe Alieva student section lacking in bodies.”

After GPSC representatives saw three conference home games—Maryland, Florida State and Wake Forest—with the graduate student section filled and extremely low undergraduate attendance, GPSC made a formal request to the Athletic Department for more seats.

“Many graduate and professional students were frustrated,” said former co-chair of the GPSC ticket committee Jeremy Hilsman, Law ’OO. “Knowing that we could easily fill the empty seats, we were disappointed to see so many seats go unused.”

Athletic Director Joe Alieva also noticed the low attendance, and was quick to act on GPSC’s proposal.

“I ran it by Coach K and our staff,” Alieva said. “Everyone thought it was a good idea....

My goal is to fill the stadium.... My responsibility to the basketball team is to have a full crowd for them to play in front of. If the undergrads start coming [back], then we’ll take those seats back.”

Duke Student Government Head Line Monitor Norm Bradley, a Pratt senior and senior associate editor of The Chronicle, said he understood the reallocation, but that he was disheartened he was not consulted about the change.

“Last year, the undergraduate section was unfilled for several critical games. I can understand where the Athletic Department is coming from, and I’m all for packing Cameron with the craziest fans,” Bradley said.

“However, I’m disappointed that the Athletic Department made a decision that affects a critical component of many students’ Duke experiences without considering—or even collecting—student input.”

Each year, an estimated 1,500 graduate and professional students participate in a September camp out to earn the right to buy basketball tickets.

Last year, more than half of those students left empty handed.

As the number of graduate and professional students attending the camp out has increased, D’Amico noted, “more individuals have not been granted a season ticket in the lottery.”

Prime Minister Barak tried to calm fears of a delay in the peace process

By MARK LAVIE Associated Press

Rebellious JERUSALEM coalition parties joined with the opposition Wednesday in a first vote calling for early elections—a move that could freeze Middle East peacemaking for weeks or even months.

The crisis might spell the end of Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s one-year-old coalition, or begin a period of intensive maneuvering for its survival.

In either case, Middle East peacemaking would not top Israel’s agenda for weeks, possibly months.

Officials ponder meaning of booting Old House CC

By AMBIKA KUMAR

bara Baker said there will be no change

The Chronicle

What does last month’s dissolution of Old House CC mean for the future of residential space at the University? If you want a clear cut answer, don’t ask

administrators.

While most living group leaders share similar opinions about the dissolution and its meaning, administrators seem uncharacteristically divided.

“I believe there will be greater ex-

pectations for the respectful behavior of groups, and for their adhering to the annual review process,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Janet Dickerson. “This comes, in part, from the University’s interest in providing equal opportunity in housing for indepen-

dent students.”

With Dickerson’s

departure for Princeton University July 1,however, the future of residential space will be left in question, as the remaining student deans have expressed different opinions.

“We’re continuing our emphasis and focus that we’ve always had on enhancing the residential experience,” she said. ‘That’s been our focus and it continues to be.”

And although the University has never dissolved a living group through the annual review process, Annual Review Committee Chair Ben Ward said the Old House CC incident does not signal a change in University policy.

“We certainly, as a committee, are not trying to send a signal to anyone,” he said. “We look at each case as it comes before us.”

The answers to this issue lie with future Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Clack, who in his current position as director of Counseling and Psychological Services, has been far re-

moved from residential life policy.

DUHS considers renegotiating lease of Durham Regional

By MARKO DJUKANOVIC The Chronicle

At the same time Durham Regional Hospital appears to be sailing out of rough financial waters, Duke officials are hoping to reevaluate their lease with the county and may be looking to renegotiate its terms.

Early last week, officials from the Duke University Health System initiated a “meet and confer” request—a provision of the contract that allows Durham County Hospital Corporation, DUHS or Durham County to call a meeting between the lease’s three parties to resolve an alleged breach of contract.

DUHS currently leases the hospital at an annual price of $3.5 million but also helps support the county’s EMS and Lincoln Community Health Center, putting the total price at $7.1 million.

Observers have speculated that DUHS could ask the county to assume some of the financial burdens of the EMS or the health center.

Health System Executive Vice President William Donelan would not comment on the matter this week, but told The News and Observer of Raleigh last week, “The lease price is too high because the financial picture of the hospital was misstated in the audited financial statements. We want to go back into discussions with the county to talk about a remedy.”

The hospital will suffer a $l5 million loss for the fiscal year that ends June 30, as a result of an accounting glitch last year that caused hospital officials to overestimate the amount ofmoney Durham Regional would receive from managed-care health insurers. Durham Regional is expected to be back in the black in the upcoming fiscal year with a 1 percent operating margin—roughly $1.5 million.

Health System officials achieved this $l6 million swing by reducing expenses in acquiring supplies as well as enhancing the system of revenue collection, said hospital CEO Richard Myers. This improvement,

however, is still short of the 3.5 percent operating margin specified in the lease agreement.

County commissioner Ellen Reckhow said she shares the opinion of several other board members that DUHS was responsible for checking the financial condition of the hospital prior to leasing it and that the county should not be held responsible. “They had a lot, if not complete, financial information,” said Reckhow.

In a news release issued Monday, the county commissioners expressed their belief that the lease of Durham Regional “was premised on the numerous assurances by Duke that Duke would be taking the entire financial risk regarding Durham Regional Hospital’s operations.”

Donelan issued a statement of his own early this week. “Our purpose in calling for this meeting, is to discuss Durham Regional hospital’s ability to sustain its current programs and invest in future services,” he said. “We believe these are common concerns for all the parties in this discussion,”

Despite delay, nurses remain deadlocked on unionization

By MARKO DJURANOVIC The Chronicle

Despite the last week’s delay of the Hospital nurses unionization vote, eligible voters seem to be sticking to their pro- or anti-union stances.

Some union opponents argue that the postponement, which came due to allegations of unfair labor practices by Duke, is a strategy to garner more union support. But several nurses said the lines have already been drawn—and are unlikely to shift.

“Nurses are educated professionals,” said Clinical Nurse Tom Cantaffa, who has openly opposed joining the International Union of Operating Engineers.

“Most people found information for themselves, sifted through the propaganda and made an educated decision.”

Still, April Perry, another anti-union leader, maintains that the delay is meant as a tactical maneuver on the part ofthe union. She alleges that at an early May

union meeting she attended, union representative David Miller told the group of nurses: “I sense there is strong opposition. We could delay the vote.”

Miller, however, denies these charges, saying that if he did say something to that effect, Perry’s interpretation was taken out of context. He added that on an anti-union web site, to which Perry often posts, he feels that this frequently happens.

‘They select quotes,” he said. ‘They do what they want t0.... It’s just inaccurate.”

Perry 'also suggested that the vagueness of the union’s unfair labor practice charges—which include allegations that Duke has illegally solicited grievances and prevented employees from disseminating union information— indicates that they are meant as a delay tactic.

But Miller continues to uphold that the charges against Duke are serious. And a representative from the National Labor Relations Board said that general

charges are standard in these types of proceedings.

Regardless of whether the delay was tactical, several nurses said they have made up their minds—and are either staunchly in favor of or opposed to unionization. Since the discussions began, two web sites have provided information on behalf of either side.

While one supports NUPA—“Nurses United for Patient Advocacy,” the catchphrase associated with the union—the other contains “no NUPA” in its web address. At each site, nurses hold ongoing dialogues explaining their sides of the debate.

Despite the split in opinion, there is one common theme among both pro- and anti-union advocates: disappointment.

“We’ve worked so hard, on both sides, on presenting the cases and then trying to get the information...and then the vote was canceled,” said Cantaffa, who works in the cardiac care unit. He added that many nurses Sec NURSES on page 14

City seeks money for Duke’s water

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

For the last several years, water has been flowing into Duke. Now city officials are one step closer to proving that the right amount of money hasn’t been flowing out Last year, city officials realized they were losing track of three million gallons of water per day at a cost of $300,000 to $400,000 per month. The first batch of water use figures from Durham’s new water meters showed a drastic increase in water use since the city-wide meter replacement in March.

And based on these figures, the city could seek to charge its customers a total of close to $2 million for three years of underbilling.

According to the Herald-Sun of Durham, city records report that the University could be the biggest culprit—Duke’s water use this year has risen by about 50 percent, or an alarming $448,000.

The University, IBM and Durham Regional Hospital’s water use combined is $660,398 greater than last year.

Officials are considering asking the customers for a one-time compensatory payment for underbilling the last three years, as allowed under state law. And although data on the University’s water consumption during the suspected time has not been finalized, Duke is the city’s largest water consumer.

But University officials maintain that after conducting an internal audit, they have found no difference between what they were billed for the last few years and what they used.

“We’ve gone through our records and we can’t find any discrepancies,” said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. He suggested that an independent third party estimate the University’s water use for the disputed years.

In an August 1999 letter to city officials, Trask wrote,“If, as a result ofthat process, it is definitely determined we have been undercharged for our water usage, we will pay what we rightfully owe promptly

and without argument.”

Durham Director of Public Works Katie Kalb said the city will talk to customers before making its final decision on whether—or how much—they should pay.

“There will be a dialogue between the city and its customers,” she said. “A decision will be made by the city council then.”

Track meet brings Durham big bucks

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Track and field fans from throughout the nation flocked to the University this week to watch the annual NCAA Track and Field Championships. The meet, held in Wallace Wade Stadium, attracted about 35,000 spectators and is considered particularly important because of its implication for the upcoming Olympic Games: Various winners will try out for the American team.

“It’s like having the final four of track and field here at Duke,” said Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs and one of about 300 event volunteers. “Being out here watching all the students compete is great. Whether you like track and field or not, this is a great event.”

Athletic Director Joe Alieva estimated that preparation and facilitation of the event cost the Athletic Department about $150,000. He stressed that the University does not host such events expecting financial gain. “[Hosting] was a losing proposition from the beginning. We knew that when we' put in our bid,” said Alieva, adding that most of the money

funded repairs and improvements to the track itself.

Included in the upgrade was the installation of a new pit for the long jump and triple jump events. “We’re hoping we come close to breaking even.”

He explained that the University wanted to host the meet for several reasons. Primarily, officials made a bid for this year’s meet because it coincided with the retirement ofDuke’s track and field coach, A1 Buehler.

But honoring Buehler was only one advantage ofhosting the meet. ‘Tt was a great event to showcase Duke University and its talent,” Alieva said, noting the national media coverage. “I think it was a success.”

The city of Durham also prospered from the meet.

The Durham Convention and Visitors Bureau estimated that the spectacle injected $3.9 million into the local economy.

DCVB President Reyn Bowman said Durham often benefits from events at Duke and noted that the size of the track and field championships was ideal.

“The nice thing about the track and field [championships] is it’s the perfect size of an event,” Bowman said. “If it gets larger than this, the event can get unmanageable.”

“I think that a lot of complaints about living groups from other areas of the University... may be taken into consideration a little bit more,” said Dieterich. “The [annual review] process was taken a little more seriously than in years past.”

Several living group leaders feel the annual review process itself is flawed and that its inconsistencies were manifest in the Old House CC dissolution.

The debate over residential space follows the dissolution of Old House CC by a three-person committee composed of Dickerson, Baker and former Campus Council President Nikki Fetter.

This committee followed the recommendation of the ARC, which expressed disappointment over several deadlines missed by the house’s leadership.

At a time when several living groups have faced serious judicial and annual review committee sanctions, a change in University philosophy could have a severe impact.

Gandhi added that the annual review process should involve more faculty-student interaction.

“Based on the last three years’ attendance by graduate and professional students,” Hilsman said, “I am certain that we will always fill our seats to capacity” Steven Wright contributed to this story.

The American Dance Festiva returns to Duke this week.

Why did Paris produce an explosion of artistic creativity at the end of the 19th century?

Why did Cincinnati or Harlem host a literary renaissance?

In art, there are some questions that cannot be answered and must simply be savored American Dance Festival co-directors Charles and Stephanie Reinhart can't explain why modern dance is currently benefiting from an incredible outburst of creativity, but this year's ADF program bears witness to the importance of the movement. The festival—themed Landmarks and Landscapers —hosts 17 commissioned premieres, an ADF record. The new works include this weekend's shows by Ann Carlson and Pilobolus Dance Theater (see preview, below).

It's not easy to raise money for a new work, Step hanie Reinhardt explained, and ADF organizers feel privileged :o be the flagship event of such an exciting cultural movement "What we try together a season that is ref lei five of the incredible diversity [within modem dance] she said, This year's ADF suffered a sudden disa jpointment last week when the Martha Graham Dance O mpany, scheduled to open the festival tonight, abruptly isbanded citing financial problems.

"They have failed to meet their cont ictual obligations to the ADF," the co-directors said in a pre: release. "Financial problems are not new for anybody....

But as they say in entertainment, the show must go on. With its unprecedented number of new works and the return of favorites from Pilobolus to Eiko and Koma, the ADF will continue to serve its missions of education, preservation and understanding.

"Most of what you're presenting is going in so many directions," said Charles "We make sure that we're going to be open and continue to be open—we don't know what modem dance is, we just know what is isn't." Although the walls between classical ballet, theater and modern dance have crumbled, modern dance has been strengthened, not dissolved, by the flow of talent and ideas.

Ultimately, Charles Reinhart said, there are only two categories of modem dance that really matter: Good and bad. This year, as it has since 1934, the ADF will be an unparalleled venue for performances of the first type.D

The company's originators ignored many of the traditional constraints that bind dance, learning to move with what Reinhart calls "blissful ignorance." Their style is a visual treat even for audience members that know nothing about modern dance. A Pilobolus performance is filled with playful displays of strength and athleticism, and the group's dancers intertwine their bodies in breathtakingly creative ways.

"They've discovered away of moving that is uniquely their own," Reinhart says, filled with startling kinetic allusions and actualities.

World Wide Feds?

Vice President A1 Gore’s proposal to make a multitude of federal services available online will make the U.S. government more accessible

In

order to be as effective as possible, the U.S. government must make information as available as possible.

The fastest growing information medium in the world—the Internet —is the center of vice president and Democratic presidential candidate A1 Gore’s plan to rapidly and significantly increase the average American citizens’ access to the government.

In Raleigh this week, Gore unveiled a plan to put all government services on the World Wide Web. Gore’s plan would put everything from local water purity statistics to information about government benefits on the web. The U.S. government is infinitely complicated, but no matter how complex the institution has become, increasing access to information will only help citizens.

Increased availability of the Internet is a first step. Education on how to use the World Wide Web needs to go hand-in-hand with availability. If every government service is going to be available online, the government needs to install terminals at local public places, like post offices, libraries and town halls. If the American people are to conquer the digital divide, they need to have multiple routes to attack it.

Gore’s vision cannot be carried out unless there are substantial improvements made in both Internet literacy and computer accessibility. A few years ago, President Clinton set the goal of getting every classroom in America wired to the Internet. While his goal is yet to be accomplished, it is in the right spirit.

Furthermore, the web site itself needs to be easy to use. The federal web site needs to be a model of clarity, especially if people are going to be checking it for information about their federal entitlements. The site also needs to be written objectively so that it does not support one political ideal over another.

Gore’s proposal also included the creation of a government-surplus auction site, named “G-Bay.” G-Bay would be an effective way to save the government money that is lost on surplus goods, and would offset the minuscule price tag of $lOO million that Gore has placed on the entire initiative.

That hefty sum is a small price to pay for the full availability of government records that would come with a complete federal web site. It is true that many of these records are already available to the public, but this proposal would eliminate local, state and federal red tape that is often used to slow the release of information.

Gore’s proposal is not the rhetorical “second American Revolution” that he and his campaign label it. But Gore’s plan is an enlightening look at what the government of the future will be.

Any plan that makes the government more accessible and provides the public with more information is worth the cost.

This letter is not meant to argue Bowman’s points, rather to just dispute the assumptions he uses throughout the article. The most glaring error in his logic is his use of “un-American” and “ideals.” I believe that for referenced

race discrimination is any-

thing but “un-American.” In fact I would assert that this country is founded on race discrimination.

And if Bowman can point out any time in history where our country observed these non-discriminatory racial “ideals” than I would be willing to start about these worrying “ideals” now. Affirmative action, or what you call reverse discrimination (which makes no sense because that defines discrimination with race-spe-

cific roles) is a very necessary part of the functioning of our nation today.

Though it is often misrepresented in the media, the need for race-discrimination policies to counter the generations of discriminatory practices, which are now institutionalized as well, are as strong today as they have ever been. But, I wouldn’t expect a Republican yuppie from Boston to understand that.

Flying High Jillian Schwartz soared to third in the pole vault

In a sport not known for surprises or upsets, the thousands of dedicated fans who lingered around Wallace Wade Stadium late Friday evening for nearly four hours of pole vaulting were treated to one of the biggest upsets of last week’s NCAA Track & Field Championships.

One week after anxiously waiting to hear whether she would qualify for

Friday’s competition, Duke junior Jillian Schwartz, who entered the meet ranked 18th out of 21 pole vaulters, stunned herself and her home crowd with a thirdplace finish to become the track program’s

first female All-American since 1986.

After shattering her own conferencerecord and personal-best height of 12’ 11” not once but twice, Schwartz was asked if she had thought her accomplishment was possible. With a shake of her head and a smile as bright as the afternoon blaze that had made field temperatures almost

DREW KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE

JUNIOR JULIAN SCHWARTZ, Duke’s only competitor at last week’s NCAA Championships, glided over the bar at 13’ 5 1/4” to shatter the school record for the second time Friday evening at Wallace Wade. Schwartz became the track program’s first female All-American since 1986.

unbearable, she replied, “No, not really.”

Falling short only of Kansas State’s Erin Anderson and national champion Tracy O’Hara—UCLA’s sophomore who is now ranked No. 4 in the world— Schwartz dazzled Duke fans with a soaring leap that raised the bar for Blue Devil pole vaulting excellence to 13’ 5 1/4”.

“It feels great [to be an All-American],” she said. “I have so many friends and family out here and they definitely helped a lot with cheering. It means a lot to be able to do it on my home track.”

When Schwartz prepared for her first jump—set at a height equivalent to the all-time record at Wallace Wade—the crowd anxiously shifted in their seats.

But, just a couple weeks after switching to a heavier pole, the Duke junior cleared the bar with ease.

As the sun faded behind the press box less than an hour later, she sailed over it once again on her first attempt.

And then again. And again.

Suddenly, after four jumps, only four vaulters remained. And only two of them, Schwartz and O’Hara, had managed to stay perfect at all four heights.

“There are two strengths that Jillian has that a lot of people don’t have,” pole vault coach Scott Still said. “Her speed is incredible, and that coupled with her See

New decade, new champion Stanford ended one of college sports’ greatest dynasties by snapping Arkansas’ run of eight consecutive team titles

By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle

The word dynasty is thrown around too often in sports. Win two consecutive team titles and reporters are talking about a team’s place in history. But in men’s track and field the word dynasty truly is applicable when it refers to Arkansas.

The Razorbacks entered this year’s NCAA Championships at Wallace Wade Stadium as the favorite, having won eight straight team titles. But the ninth was not to be, as Stanford pulled off the upset and took home the title.

“Our max and their max on paper, it was no contest,” said Stanford 800 and 1500-meter runner Mike Stember.

‘We couldn’t afford to make any mistakes. We don’t have 17 or 18 athletes; we have a few big-time caliber athletes.”

Stanford followed Stember’s plan; they simply didn’t make any mistakes.

The Cardinal opened up the meet by taking first, second and fourth in the 10,000. Senior Brad Hauser won the race, but it was his brother Brent who might have done the most for the team.

Brent started to fall apart the last 100 meters, having to dive across the line to hold on to fourth. To a man, the Cardinal called the gutty performance their inspiration for the rest of the meet.

“Anyone who wasn’t moved by that, I don’t know what would move them,” Stanford coach Vin Lananna said.

A dominating performance by Stanford in the 10,000 is not unusual. It would be what the Cardinal did the next two days that sealed the upset.

On Friday, Stember, who had talked his coach into allowing him to double, scored five points for Stanford by running a personal best 1:46.20 in the 800.

Stanford took a a 12-point lead on Auburn and a 13-

point lead on Arkansas into the final day.

The Cardinal did not have a sprinter in the first three events Saturday. When the 1500 run began, Stanford was down seven points to Auburn, and Arkansas had pulled within nine.

But the 1500 all but put the meet out of contention.

Gabe Jennings won handily, and Stember, in his second final, came from behind for second.

“I knew we had to go 1-2,” said Stember. “I knew with fresh legs, Gabe had it wrapped up. The 800 took it out ofmy legs for the last 100, but I held on.”

Then the rain came. Thunderstorms shut the meet down for an hour and a half, as Stanford waited to seal the victory with the 5000.

The rain gave the Cardinal time to ponder the

achievement.

Coaching legend receives

By BRODY GREENWALD and STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Forty-five years before Duke hosted its second NCAA & Field Track last Championships week, high jumpers landed in sawdust and vaulters fashioned their poles out of the bamboo trees grown out-

w

41

side Wallace Wade Stadium.

When the nation’s finest runners and field athletes traveled to Durham last week for the sport’s most prestigious college event, Duke welcomed them with open arms and state-of-the-art facilities. So it was only fitting that years after padded mats replaced the sawdust and fiberglass made the bamboo trees little more than quaint decorations, the only holdover from the “golden era” of Duke track commemorated the final day of the 2000 NCAA Championships with one last wave of his straw hat, thus bringing an end to the tenured longest career in the history of Duke athletics.

“That’s the biggest reason why we hosted it,” Duke Athletics Director Joe Alieva said. “We wanted to host it this year to honor [Duke director of track and field A1 Buehlerl. If it wasn’t for Al, frankly we probably wouldn’t have hosted it this year.”

On the track, Buehler’s accomplishments go unquestioned.

The two-time Southern Conference champion in the half-mile revitalized Duke’s abysmal

cross country program, guiding the laughing stock of the conference to an undefeated run to the conference championship in only three seasons.

“He always encouraged us to do better next time,” said Tom Menaker, who was a member of Duke’s championship cross country teams of ’5B and ’59. “As long as he felt you were trying and pushing your hardest, he gave you encouragement.”

Although Buehler will remain at Duke as professor in Health, Physical

Education and Recreation, Wallace Wade’s rubber track will never seem the same without the familiar face that has seen hundreds of athletes—including 12 All-Americans, four Olympians and one world-record holder—pass through the track program.

More than his many accolades as a

coach, though, Buehler takes great pride in his contributions off the field.

Well known for his commitment to his community, Buehler has been a leader in bringing people together through his profession.

In Feb. 1969, more than 75 members of the University’s black community took over the Allen building in protest of discriminatory policies. Protesters and their supporters were later dispersed by police force, but the takeover is credited with bringing about significant change in University policy.

Amidst the tear gas and the rallies, however, Buehler and long-time friend Leroy Walker, North Carolina Central’s track coach, were doing just as much to unite Durham’s races.

the right thing” quickly became one of Buehler’s trademarks.

At the height of the Cold War, Buehler persuaded Duke officials to host the USA vs. USSR track meet, an event which he claims helped reshape the way both cultures perceived each other. During the 19705, he organized Duke’s hosting of four Pan-African games, uniting athletes from across the Atlantic to compete in the spirit of athletic brotherhood.

“He is absolutely one of the finest people I’ve met in my life,” Alieva said.

“He is a great coach, a great teacher and a great person. He epitomizes what Duke is all about. He is the last of a dying breed.”

But decades before there was a program-defining coach, a Philadelphiaborn champion runner straight out of the Air Force learned on an April afternoon in 1955 that it doesn’t always pay to confront a legend. Standing in the office of then-Athletics Director Eddie Cameron—for whom the indoor basketball stadium had yet to be dedicated— Buehler, whose penchant for humor is still clear even at 70, told a joke that would land the University one of the

biggest bargains in sports history.

“I played along and said, ‘My parents are in the iron and steel business—my mother irons and my father steels?'

Buehler said. ‘That’s an old fraternity joke, but Eddie didn’t hear that. All he heard was ‘independently wealthy’, so that’s how they came up with $4,000.

And that’s how I got to Duke.”

Buehler’s starting salary, a sizable cut from the $5,400 he received as a captain in the Air Force, lasted for nine years, until the cross country coach and assistant track coach flirted with offers to run the track programs at Penn State and Indiana.

And that’s when tragedy, fortuitous in locking up Buehler for the rest of his coaching career, struck the Blue Devil athletic department. Just as the 34-year old track assistant was considering leaving, his mentor, long-time track director Bob Chambers, died of a heart attack, passing down the reigns of the program to Buehler.

Leaving Duke track never crossed Buehler’s thoughts again, until he bid goodbye Saturday evening to the program he has spent nearly two-thirds of his life directing.

to cry,” Jennings said. ‘They built this program. They came here five years ago, and we were nothing. We didn’t have a track. Just to be a part of their last race was an incredible feeling.”

The Hausers not only built the program, they also brought home the championship. After the rain stopped, Brad won the 5000 for his second victory of the meet. Brent finished fourth as the Cardinal scored 18 points, raising their total to 72 and guaranteeing their first title.

the team.

“I just want to sit back and enjoy this moment,” he said. “Brad and Brent Hauser’s victory.”

The women’s competition produced anything but an upset.

LSU coach Pat Henry won his 20th national title as the Lady Tigers pulled out a come-from-behind victory to edge out USC and UCLA. Perhaps the most interesting individual story on the women’s side was the performance of Seilala Sua. Sua took home first place in the women’s shot put and discus throw to collect her sixth and seventh individual NCAA titles.

mental toughness—nothing flaps this person, she doesn’t get bothered by a whole lot. Together those elements make her a unique athlete. She is one ofthe best pure female athletes that I have been around in a long time.”

For Still, Schwartz’s All-America performance on the brand new pole vault pits at Wallace Wade was the culmination of a 10-month union that has turned up all roses.

Hoping to build a pole vault program, the track coaches hired Still—for free. His impact on the program, especially with Schwartz, was immediate. Eight different times this season, Still’s protege finished first in the pole vault, breaking her own previous best in practically every tournament.

Although both Schwartz and her coach admit she has much to learn in terms of technical skills, it has become clear that she is one of the most talented pole vaulters in the nation. In less than a year, the raw athlete has been slowly groomed into a competitor with seemingly endless potential.

“I don’t think there’s any limits I can put on Jillian right now” he said. “I think she has a lot to learn in regards to the sport technically. It’s going to take time to develop that. She is about 12 months away from being very very good, and in the ranks with Tracy O’Hara.”

It’s hard to imagine anyone challenging O’Hara in the near future. The sophomore was far superior to everyone else Friday evening, as she nearly eclipsed her own NCAA record of 14’ 7 1/4”.

Then again, when Schwartz became the first Duke woman to break 11 feet a little over a year ago, it would have been exceedingly difficult to imagine her ever cracking 13 feet, much less achieving All-America status.

Schwartz’s next opportunity for a showdown with O’Hara will come late next month when they both travel to Sacramento for the Olympic trials. For now at least, Duke’s emerging star is conceding that the July trials will be more of a vacation than a showdown, but then again, you just never know with her.

Life in the bubble Into the fire Marko Djuranovic A Duke education is supposed to teach you how to think and, as a result, our classes are buzzing with words like interpretation, evaluation and integration.

Call it what you will—analyzing, critical thinking or questioning—l’m curious to know how many Duke students truly understand the issues they claim to be analyzing.

The true process of analyzing anything, be it the dominant paradigm or the smallest assumptions, is long and laborious. It requires, among other things, a constant evaluation and re-evaluation of available data, theories and models. All in all, the process has multiple steps, is downright frustrating and does not always yield a completely coherent and easily understandable answer.

Instead, it seems that most students engage in something called an “abridged analysis.”

An abridged analysis is an incomplete process. It involves asking only a few questions, not pursuing the issue to the point ofsuitable explanation and using dangerously little information to formulate one’s opinion.

For example, an abridged analysis would rightly take up issue with some parts of the Constitution by pointing out that Thomas Jefferson was a slaveowner... and then stop.

But does this fact diminish the worth of the Constitution in any significant way?

Sure, one of the nation’s founding fathers owned slaves. But the wonder he helped create is still here

and has to a great extent helped shape a country whose citizens enjoy one of the highest standards of living known to man.

I don’t know if Pythagoras owned slaves, but he lived in a society that employed slaves. In fact, it can be argued that it was slave labor and the subjugation of many barbarians that allowed him to lead a life devoted to mathematics. Is the Pythagorean theorem any less special as a result?

In fact, Dear Old Duke itself is an institution whose history clearly shows... well, let’s not go there. Don’t get me wrong. By no means do I approve of or attempt to justify slavery—which should certainly be clear.

And I love Duke University. The weather is great, I have tremendous respect for Coach K and I am still amazed at the sheer beauty of the Chapel. I think the students have the best combination of intelligence, character, and ambition to be found anywhere and that our professors are both approachable and insightful—there’s no other place I’d rather be an undergraduate.

But I also think that sometimes we, as Duke students, get carried away with the simplicity we find inside one of the richest schools in the world. Someone else cleans our bathrooms, our own police protect us and brilliant minds buzz around us—all with a world-reknown medical complex only a hallway away. We’re living a fairly protected lifestyle that most people can only dream of.

Because of such sheltered treatment, we fall into the trap of thinking that we are the overachieving elite ofthe world and that the future rests solely on our shoulders.

In reality, most of us are barely two decades old, we have not seen much of the world and we still have not faced the majority of life’s tough decisions. To think that we can solve, or even completely understand broad problems of human nature is youthful callowness on our part and a dangerous consequence ofliving inside a glass bubble.

Thus, reflecting the revolutionary goals we attempt to accomplish, the answers we do formulate take on shallow and unimpressively simplistic forms: The solution to the economic crises in third-world countries is to forgive their debts and give them more aid. The salvation of children in sweatshops half a world away lies in not buying brand-name clothing. We can stop various forms of violence by wearing creative T-shirts, Maybe that is somewhat understandable—after all, at Duke, things really are that simple.

But then we go out into the “real world” and face a different tune. In the real world, most people get out of bed well before noon, have two weeks of vacation per year, are held accountable for their actions, rarely get extensions on projects and have real responsibilities: house and car payments, electricity and heating bills and families to feed. In the real world, an injustice goes far beyond the frats hogging up the best housing options. In the real world, experience is still the best teacher.

And so it might just be that, when all the responsibilities add up, world peace and elimination of poverty can be seen as they really are—abstract notions that no longer seem so achievable when one has a 40-plus hour per week job, a family and no housekeeping staff.

So what happens in the end?

Most Duke students went to Myrtle Beach—perhaps the debate over the Confederate flag ended up being too confusing and complicated to fully understand. After all, the boycott never could change the facts: life is short, cheap keg beer is plentiful, classes are over and the sheer anticipation of hooking up with a hotTri-Delt makes one forget that Thomas Jefferson once owned slaves.

And the abridged analysis kicks in again....

they hoped the postponement would work to their advantage. Although nurses’ opinions seem entrenched, Clinical Nurse Dorcas Butler suggested that the extra time and the NLRB investigation might bolster union support by illuminating the suspicious way in which Duke deals with tough issues.

Overall, Perry said the unionization debates have strained workplace relations.

“Signs of tension are showing, morale is suffering, people are distracted...,” said Perry, a clinical research coordinator in the pediatric cardiovascular program. “A rift has been created.”

WATER from page 6

Kalb, whose office will estimate the University’s water use during the suspected time, conceded that calculating the amount by which each customer was undercharged will be difficult because there are so many variables, like droughts and water conservation efforts, that affect water use every year.

“It’s hard to make a judgment on how much water someone used a year ago,” she said.

City officials first encountered the water issue in January 1999, when they discovered that they could not account for 35 percent of the water pumped into the central distributing station.

Ideally, officials would be able to account for 90 percent. The new figures confirmed city officials’ suspicion that the discrepancy was due to inaccurate measurements.

“The meters weren’t working the way they should,” said Kalb. “Meters are mechanical devices.

Many were old. Over time they age and their parts become worn,”

It was O’Neal’s highest-scoring game since getting 46 points in Game 1 of the first round against Sacramento.

Kobe Bryant added 14 points, Ron Harper 12 and Rick Fox added 11 for the Lakers, who didn’t have the emotional letdown their coach feared after their stunning comeback in Game 7 of the Western

Duke stars top spring All-America rosters From staff reports

Although most of the spring teams saw their seasons come to disappointingly swift ends, their star players have been busy racking up the hardware.

Fourteen Blue Devils have been tabbed as All-Americans during the past two weeks, headed by three each from the men’s tennis, women’s golf and both lacrosse teams.

Although the women’s golf team failed to defend its national championship, Beth Bauer, who finished 34th at the NCAA Championships in Oregon two weeks ago, ended up ranked as the No. 2 player in the world. The sophomore earned one ofDuke’s eight first-team All-America spots this season, while teammates Maria GarciaEstrada and Kalen Anderson were named to the second team.

In tennis, women’s standout Megan Miller was recognized for her consistent stay in the top 20. On the men’s side, junior Andres Pedroso fought his way into the round of 16 in the singles championship, while Doug Root and Ramsey Smith became the first members of their program ever to advance to the semifinals in doubles.

Both lacrosse teams likewise enjoyed success with individual honors.

Midfielder Kate Kaiser had one of the most prolific scoring seasons in Duke history, hitting net in 24 straight games. Fortunately, she wasn’t trying to score on freshman Meghan Walters, whose defensive prowess placed her on the third team. The women’s trio was rounded out by senior Tricia Martin, who was tabbed an All-American for a third

NHL Finals Spotlight It’s do or die tonight for Dallas in Game 5

By NANCY MARRAPESE-BURRELL Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. It’s simple, really.

For both the New Jersey Devils and Dallas Stars, today’s Game 5 comes down to a basic, albeit cliched, premise,

If the Devils win, they capture the Stanley Cup for the second time in six years, while the defending champion Stars have no choice but victory.

On the face ofit, and not just because of the obvious, the Devils have the advantage across the board. Goaltender

TIM SHARP/AP PHOTO ARCHIVE

BRIAN RAFALSKI, a New Jersey Devils rookie, shoots and scores against Dallas goalie Ed Belfour in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals.

Martin Brodeur has been far superior to erratic Stars netminder Ed Belfour. The Devils’ unsung heroes (read: rookies Brian Rafalski and John Madden) have come through. The Stars’ have not. The Devils’ best players all year have been their best players in this series. The

Stars’ have not.

“I think the difference is that we’ve gotten impatient and frustrated in our inability to score,” said Stars coach Ken Hitchcock. “[The Mike Modano-Jere Lehtinen-Brett Hull line] has so much responsibility on their shoulders because we haven’t had that undercurrent of scoring. When it doesn’t come early, do you get impatient and stretch your offense? In other words, try to find holes that aren’t there or do you stay with it? I’ve seen in the last two games where they’ve stretched it out too early to create offense.”

Hull is the playoff scoring leader with 23 points in 21 games and also is tops in goals with 11, but Hitchcock said his sniper doesn’t have to score for the Stars to win.

“What we need from Brett and some other guys is to stay on the page for 60 minutes,” he said, “not try and hit the home run. Be patient.”

The Devils said they learned a lesson from their last series when they were down, 3-1, to the Flyers before rallying to win the Eastern Conference title. “[The Flyers] thought they had things wrapped up and thought they

were in the driver’s seat,” said Devils forward Claude Lemieux, who is playing in the finals for the fifth time and gunning for his fourth Cup. “We surprised them with one game and then two. The next thing you know, it’s Game 7.1 think we’ve taught ourselves a good lesson, not to go into [tonight] thinking these guys are going to quit. They will probably be playing their hardest and best game. I feel if we match that, then we will come out on top.”

Much has been made about the Devils’ tremendous corps of rookies, led by Calder Trophy candidate Scott Gomez.

Would they be able to handle the pressure? Would they be able to mentally make it through the grind ofthe playoffs?

For Gomez, the test is channeling his excitement at the prospect ofwinning a Cup in his first season.

“Jason Amott and I room together, so we’ve talked about it,” said Gomez, who admitted he’s had trouble sleeping. “It’s easy to say just let it go but... you’re constantly thinking about it.”

When Madden was asked how tough it is to stay focused at a time like this, he said, “Virtually impossible, to be honest with you. You think about it and obviously you get questions. What will you do with the Cup? It’s impossible not to think about it.”

That’s where the veterans come in.

They’ve been here before and are not shy about imparting their wisdom to the youngsters.

Millwood stumbles Indiana’s Miller suffers in opener, scores 7 as Braves fall again >

By PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

12 ATLANTA

The Toronto Blue Jays—and especially Carlos Delgado—didn’t Braves S treat the Atlanta Braves’ famed pitching staff with the least bit of respect.

Delgado homered twice and had a career-best six RBIs, and the Blue Jays pounded Kevin Millwood for a career-high nine runs in another dismal performance by an Atlanta starter as Toronto won 12-8 last night.

Delgado hit a grand slam in the fifth and added a two-run shot in the ninth to seal the victory. The Braves surrendered a season high in runs.

“We put a show on tonight,” Delgado said.

Atlanta starters, long considered the best in the game, have a 10.92 eamed-run average during the first six games of this interleague homestand, giving up 38 earned runs in 31 1-3 innings.

Twice against the Blue Jays, they gave up five runs in the opening inning.

“They’ve got a really good lineup,” said Millwood.

“But when you make good pitches, you can get anybody out. I didn’t do that.”

He gave up five runs in the first after Gold Glover Andruw Jones misplayed a liner that should have been the third out. The Braves, who have lost four of their past six games, fought back to tie the score at 5 in the fourth, but Millwood couldn’t get another out.

Shannon Stewart led off the fifth with a single, Craig Grebeck followed with one of his three doubles, and Raul Mondesi walked to load the bases.

Then, Millwood hung a 1-2 breaking ball to Delgado, who went the opposite way to left for his sixth career grand slam.

Delgado’s second homer, his 22nd of the season, came against Mike Remlinger. Toronto leads the AL with 96 homers, including five with the bases loaded.

Millwood, whose 2.68 ERA a year ago ranked second in the NL, had never given up more than seven runs in a game. His ERA this season climbed to 5.14.

Brian Jordan and Reggie Sanders each drove in three runs for the Braves, who outhit the Blue Jays 169 even though Chipper Jones wasn’t in the lineup. Last year’s National League MVP sprained his right ankle Tuesday and isn’t sure when he’ll return.

Grebeck doubled in the first and Millwood issued back-to-back walks to Delgado and Jose Cruz Jr. with two outs.

Then, Alex Gonzalez hit a bases-loaded liner to center that totally fooled Andruw Jones.

Jones, a two-time Gold Glove winner, backpedaled a couple of steps, then turned and threw up his arms as if he expected the ball to hit him.

Instead, it sailed over his head and to the wall while three runs came home. The Jays weren’t through in the first as Alberto Castillo had a two-run double.

“I thought it was right at me,” Jones said. “At the last minute, it took off over my head. It was hit so hard, what can I do?”

Jordan had an RBI double in the first and brought home two more runs with a double in the third.

But Andres Galarraga was thrown out at the plate on Jordan’s second hit—running through a stop sign by third-base coach Ned Yost—and that cost the Braves a run when Sanders followed with Blue jays

an RBI single.

Galarraga redeemed himself in the fourth with a

two-out, run-scoring double, tying the game at 5 and

knocking out Clayton Andrews, who allowed 10 hits in his first major-league start.

Adding to Andrews’ embarrassment, he blooped an apparent single to right field in the fourth.

But Jordan was playing so shallow that he came up throwing, beating Andrews to first by a half-step for a most unusual 9-3 putout.

Darwin Cubillan picked up his first major league win despite allowing three runs in 2 1-3 innings.

Javy Lopez homered in the fifth and Sanders added a two-run shot in the seventh to knock out the Blue Jays rookie.

But Billy Koch shut down the Braves over the final two innings for his 12th save “We need to bring this same kind of intensity when we play the small teams,” Grebeck said. “When our pitching is on, I think we match up with anybody in the league ”

NBA from page 17

Los Angeles outrebounded Indiana 48-36 and controlled the game in so many ways, giving credence to those who argued that they present too many matchup problems for a Pacers team that could be overwhelmed.

O’Neal’s line at the end of the first quarter read 15 points, on 7-for-8 shooting, five rebounds and one assist the latter stat coming when he passed out of a triple-team and found Harper alone in the corner for a 3-pointer that made it 33-16 late in the quarter.

Harper made all three of his shots in the first quarter while Bryant went 4-for-6, twice driving through traffic with ease to convert a dunk and layup. Los Angeles shot 15-for-22 in the quarter.

As well as things went for O’Neal, they were equally bad for Miller as he missed all six of his shots.

Miller had his first shot of the second quarter emphatically rejected by Robert Horry and didn’t score from

the field until past the midpoint of the third quarter.

Indiana pulled within six early in the third on a 3pointer by Rose, but O’Neal scored on a putback, Horry dunked off a feed from Bryant and Fox scored on a give-and-go layup off an assist by Derek Fisher to quickly build the lead back to 12.

The Lakers were making it look easy, no matter which end of the court they were on. Midway through the third quarter, Jackson drove to the basket and had his shot swatted away by Bryant. O’Neal then converted a short jumper, drew Smits’ fifth foul and banked in a putback for a 69-57 lead.

But that was about the point when the Pacers started executing their offense as well as they had all night. Three foul shots by Miller, a three-point play by Jackson, consecutive baskets by Dale Davis and a reverse layup by Jackson gave the Lakers their first scare of the night.
