Blue Devils gear up for budding Pirates rivalry

By PAULDORAN The Chronicle

To Duke students, playing the Pirates may not conjure up the same amount of hatred that playing the Tar Heels does, but for those people who go to Eastern Carolina University in Greenville, this week’s game is a rivalry.

The Duke football team opens its season tomorrow at 6 p.m. in Wallace Wade Stadium against the East Carolina Pirates in a game that many expect will draw more ECU fans than

Duke fans.

As far as the Greenville papers are concerned, the two teams will be continuing a budding rivalry that began in 1977, and whose latest chapter saw Duke take a 27-9 pounding in Greenville to open last year’s season.

“Any time you play in the state of North Carolina I think it’s a rivalry,” Duke coach Carl Franks said. “It doesn’t quite have the long-standing tradition that some of our other games have, but I think it’s broken into a pretty good ri-

valry. If we can play better, it will make that rivalry better.”

Last year the two teams had very contrasting seasons. After beating Duke in the first game of the season, the Pirates went on to a 9-3 year that included a Mobile Alabama Bowl bid and a top-25 finish. Meanwhile, Duke finished the season 3-8, but the Blue Devils have a strong recruiting class and are looking to improve on last year’s record.

Duke leads the overall series 4-3 and has not lost to the Pirates at home since Sept. 6, 1980. During current ECU coach Steve Logan’s tenure, the Pirates have lost two games at Wallace Wade.

“We’ve gone to Duke a couple of times

and we have not won, so we have got to go and put together a strong effort,” Logan said. ‘The recipe will include not turning the ball over, kick the ball well and keep their offense contained, and see if we can come away with a victory.”

Logan said that because Duke’s relatively new coaching staff would be more Sec page 3,

U.S. News ranks Duke as eighth

By JOHN BUSH AND STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

While most would agree that Princeton University is a top school, not everyone agrees that it is number one.

This year, U.S. News and World Report named Princeton number one, but the magazine’s annual rankings—which were prematurely released—continue to be disputed.

The list of top schools, officially released today, included Harvard University and Yale University tied for second. Last year’s leader, the California Institute of Technology, fell to fourth, while the Massachusetts Institute of Technology came in at fifth. Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania tied for sixth.

Duke slipped one spot in the rankings, landing in the report’s eighth spot The magazine had not intended for the rankings to be released on its website until today, but an unexplained technical error caused the information to be distributed early. “We don’t know what happened,” said Richard Folkers, director of media and communications at U.S. News. “But we print them up in July.

Honestly, I’m surprised this never happened before.”

Folkers said he has heard rumors that some magazines had been released prematurely in certain parts of Vermont where reporters happened upon them.

University officials accepted the rankings with a grain of salt. “It’s always nice to have these rankings confirm the quality of our program, but some of us are still cynical about them,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs.

Over the years, the rankings have elicited much controversy. In response, U.S. News conducted an internal review of their methodology in 1997. The internal report—which was obtained by The Washington Monthly See RANKINGS on page 22

The president said the bill and other tax cuts like it would hurt the economy

By LIZETTE ALVAREZ N.Y. Times News Service

WASHINGTON

President

Bill Clinton vetoed a Republican-

sponsored bill to repeal the federal estate tax Thursday and stepped up the election-year sparring over tax cuts and how best to spend the budget surplus.

In remarks in the East Room of the White House, Clinton said the bill “fails the test offairness and fiscal responsibility” because it is costly and, according to administration figures, benefits only the wealthiest 2 percent of the population.

The president accused Republicans of threatening to hamstring the booming economy by devising a

series of tax cuts that he said would leave little money for Medicare, prescription drug benefits, education and a host of other programs.

Vice President A1 Gore has repeatedly lobbed the same charge at his opponent, Gov. George W. Bush of Texas, who supports repealing the estate tax. And in vetoing the bill Thursday, Clinton adopted the same sort of language heard from Gore on the campaign trail.

“I believe that this latest bill, this estate tax bill, is part of a series of actions and commitments that, when you add it all up, would take us back to the bad old days of deficits, high interest rates and having no money to invest in our com-

mon future,” Clinton said, echoing Gore’s attacks on Bush’s tax plans.

The bill “shows a sense of priorities that I believe got us in trouble

in the first place in the 1980s, and that if we go back to those priorities, will get us in trouble again,” he said.

In Congress, Rep. Dennis Hastert, R-IIL, the speaker of the House, immediately announced that the House would attempt to override the veto as its first order ofbusiness when it returned next week.

But the effort, which requires a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress, is expected to fail in the Senate and may fall short in the House, as well. Neither RepubSee

New GOP ad targets Gore’s integrity

By RON FOURNIER Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Going negative and getting personal, the Republican Party is questioning Vice President A1 Gore’s credibility with a TV ad reminding voters about his Buddhist temple fund-raiser and the time he took credit for the Internet.

“There’s A1 Gore reinventing himself,” an announcer says in the 30-second ad approved personally by GOP nominee Gov. George W. Bush, The Republicans called the ad “tongue-in-cheek” but said it goes to the heart of a significant Gore weakness: the perception of some voters that he stretches the truth.

year’s ad war, capping a summer in which the parties and presidential campaigns combined to spend more than $6O million to influence an uninterested electorate.

The action poses a risk for Bush, who promised to run a positive, high-minded campaign, though he also said he would draw contrasts between himself and Gore. The Texas governor was forced to attack, Republican officials said, when the vice president closed the gap in polls after his nominating convention in Los Angeles.

Sensitive to potential backlash, Bush advisers said the credibility of a candidate is fair game in a presidential race. Bush strategist Karl Rove noted that Gore said in his convention speech that the first legislation See

Outage in Crowell lasts hours Few residents or officials seemed to know what was going on; students grew frustrated as blackout went on past midnight. ;

From staff reports

Power outages struck about onethird of Crowell Quadrangle at around 9:45 p.m. last night, leaving some residents without power for at least four hours and others with oscillating power. As of press time, the power remained out.

Emergency calls for maintenance were met with voice recordings directing students to the Duke University Police Department.

Although several students and resident advisers said they called Campus Police last night, they seemed frustrated at what they perceived as a lack of response.

Very few police officers or maintenance workers were on the scene for most of the night, and many residents said they felt frustrated and helpless.

Senior Dave Imai said he was amazed that no authorities were around the quad, even though he had spoken to a police officer much earlier in the evening.

Brownstone resident adviser Mike Shen, a third-year engineering graduate student, was made aware of the problems around 10:15 p.m. by three complaints from second-floor residents.

After calling maintenance repeatedly and reaching “recording after recording after recording,” he called DUPD. Between 10:40 p.m. and midnight, Shen said he saw maintenance workers going back and forth, “trying to figure out what is going on.”

Bring on Bazinsky

Confident DSG president hopes to use do-it-himself philosophy to help students This is the last in a three-part series spotlighting Duke’s top student leaders.

By SARAH ENDSLEY The Chronicle

Over the summer, Duke Student Government President Jordan Bazinsky received a complaint that the sand volleyball court on Central Campus was in disrepair. Within a few days, Bazinsky and one of his friends headed over to the court, pushed up their sleeves and fixed up the boundary lines and nets.

Bazinsky said this do-it-himself philosophy and desire to stay in touch with the student body will shape his term as DSG president. One of his top priorities is to ensure that any student looking for DSG assistance will know where to find it. ‘The government is for the people,” said Bazinsky, a senior. “Students should be e-mailing me or e-mailing somebody. We won’t fix people’s sinks, but beyond that, we’ll see what we can do.”

Within DSG, he plans to improve institutional memory by creating a searchable database of resolutions for legislators to use as a resource. Still, he said none of these efforts can be worthwhile unless students work with DSG. “People whine all the time that student government is horrible, evil and the bane of their existence when they haven’t approached us or started a dialogue about their concerns at all,” Bazinsky said. ‘There’s a lot of people out there who are doing things to try to make Duke better.”

Bazinsky’s term follows that ofLisa Zeidner, Trinity ’OO. Until last year, DSG was notoriously inactive; under Zeidner, the organization put together a comprehensive study of financial aid at the University. Bazinsky intends to see Zeidner’s unfinished projects—especially those related to financial aid—to completion.

In addition to the socioeconomic

DSG PRESIDENT JORDAN BAZINSKY says he will continue the work of former president Lisa Zeidner. He also plans to make DSG more accessible to its constituents. concerns brought to light by last year’s administration, Bazinsky said he will concentrate on campus issues related to gender, race and sexual orientation. He also plans to work closely with the Alcohol Task Force to assess and potentially change Duke’s drinking culture. “He understands the emphasis is on safety and responsibility and he supports the ideas

of safety and responsibility,” said Jim Clack, interim vice president for student affairs and chair of the Alcohol Task Force. “He realizes that the administration is not trying to stamp out alcohol and make Duke become dry.”

Bazinsky put it more simply. “If we could find some sort of way to make alcohol available on campus without peo-

pie going to the hospital, that would make everyone’s experience better.”

Zeidner praised Bazinsky’s ability

to understand Duke’s social realities.

Bazinsky was a member of Old House CC before the group was disbanded this summer. However, he emphasized that his personal life and his position as president exist in two separate spheres.

The effectiveness of this year’s top

student government leaders has yet to be proven, but Bazinsky remains confident.

“This year’s cabinet has great abili-

ty and potential,” he said. Tm stoked.

Bring it 0n.... Life is good. I’m excited.

Hands down.”

Duke looks into online education

How would you like to

� Administrators are considering creating a pilot course online, but faculty members at the University hedge about losing face-to-face interaction between teachers and students.

$lOO,OOO

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

The importance of classroom attendance can be a topic of contention between faculty and students, but now the corporate world has jumped in the ring.

Officials from the Global Education Network say that with their online courses —which may eventually include some from Duke—you’ll soon be able to take elite college classes without ever setting foot in a classroom, but faculty are hesitant about the idea and say the University should exercise caution. “We are holding preliminary talks with them, focusing on developing a pilot course that a Duke professor would offer,” William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, wrote in an e-mail. “Our goal is to see how well this works.”

Early next year, GEN will begin offering online courses designed by professors from Williams College, Wellesley College and Brown University and plans to target anyone interested in learning, including high school students, undergraduates and adults.

“The idea is to bring the greatest liberal arts educators from around the globe to the public,” said Don Burton, CEO and president of GEN. “Basically, it’s working with the Dukes of the world, the Wellesleys, the Browns, Harvards, Princetons, Yales... to find out who the best educators are and bring them to the public via the Internet and then really support them with media.”

But educators have long agreed that classroom interaction is an integral part of any education, and several Duke professors expressed reservations See ONLINE CLASSES on page 9 �

ALEX CROWELL AND ROB MAORI, both graduate students in the physics department, recently won $lOO,OOO in an online game show.

the midst of the burgeoning television game show craze, two graduate students found another fast-money trend that netted them $lOO,OOO in one hour—online game shows.

Alex Crowell, a seventh-year nuclear physics student, and Rob Macri, a fifth-year nuclear physics student, teamed up to play for $1 million on the live trivia game show at goldpocket.com. While they didn’t win the highest dollar amount, the thrill of winning $lOO,OOO was enough for the doctoral candidates.

“I think we were kinda stunned,” Crowell said. We were like ‘Did this really just happen?”’

The game show runs every Sunday at 8 p.m. EST and matches up 20,000 to 50,000 online competitors in specialized topics, said K.C. Hildreth, chief operating officer for Goldpocket Interactive, the parent company for the show’s site.

Macri started playing the game in June after seeing a commercial for the month-old game show site on television. After coming close to winning a few times, Macri decided to enlist Crowell’s help.

The duo opted for the science and technology category, figuring it was their best bet.

“We both have very strong science backgrounds,” Crowell explained. “A lot ofthe questions were fairly easy but it definitely got harder as we moved on.”

The questions ranged from chemistry to geology, but extended beyond the sciences as they moved ahead in the game. Crowell and Macri answered several random questions, including the one that made them $lOO,OOO richer.

OIT, bursar extend services on ACES

JASMIN CHALAKANI, an exchange student, uses ACES Web, which now allows students to register for OIT services and health insurance online.

By JOELLE DIEU The Chronicle

The new ACES Web site has, over the course of the summer, begun to provide students with a range of registration options, from registering their health insurance to signing up for phone and cable service to picking classes. The implementation of this system, however, has not been free of hiccups.

Although difficulties and slowdowns in class registration plagued the site this week, students say they have been pleased with several new additions to the ACES Web site and have found its new residential services especially helpful.

Sophomore Andrew Taube said a key advantage was “certainly convenience.”

Sophomore Katherine Glass agreed. “It’s better than having to [register] over the phone.”

The site is driven by the new Student Information Services and Systems software, which connects almost all database information about Duke students, from law school admissions to undergraduate financial aid.

“Overall, the students have been very upbeat about this,” Registrar Bruce Cunningham said. “The ACES Web site is a site that we hope will eventually become a ‘one-stop shop’ of sorts for a variety of student services.”

The site took its first steps in that direction when officials integrated health insurance and phone and cable service registration into the system this summer. These programs were designed, in part, to cut down on the confusion of registering outside health-care plans and to eliminate the first week’s traditional long lines for registration with the Office of Information Technology.

Manager of Residential Services and Business Operations at OIT Christa Stilley Poe said that despite a lack of any concrete statistics on the number of students who signed up with OIT online, the program seems to have proven successful. This new OIT online service will continue to be available until the end of the week, and OIT may eventually make it a fixture on the site.

Ann Bothwell, director of the bursar’s office, said the health insurance option has worked well, too. “This

new method provides an additional level of student access, while improving the accuracy of the information collected,” she said. To date, over 5,000 students have used this service.

Youthful new dean to focus on greek organizations senior said. “It shows a real commitment to greek life.”

Administrators hope that Adams’ IFC duties will free up time for other deans.

His role on campus, however, will not be limited solely to greek life. He will also work with the upperclass residential community and serve as a dean-on-call.

Adams’ experience in the area of student affairs stems from his graduate work at Southern Illinois University, where he studied higher education administration with an emphasis on college student development. Prior to coming to Duke, he worked in student affairs at the University ofToledo.

As an undergraduate at the University of Nebraska, Adams never envisioned a future career in “the Ivory Tower” of university administration.

He planned to pursue a career in finance but after working at a consulting firm, he found that working in the academic world—not the business world was his calling.

So far, Adams said he has been amazed by students’ abilities to balance academics with their dedication to numerous extra-curricular activities.

It’s “I like working with students the best part of the job,” he said.

By JANNA FISHMAN The Chronicle

Newly-hired Assistant Dean of Student Development Todd Adams doesn’t fit the usual stereotype of a University administrator: The youthful and energetic Adams—who will deal with all students, but more specifically greek affairs—listens to the likes of Korn and the Dave Matthews Band.

“I missed the college campus scene,” said Adams of his decision to be a student dean. “You wake up each day and you don’t know what you’re going to expect.”

And if Adams is seeking the unpredictable, he may have found the right place; as debate surrounding alcohol and selective living groups dominates University conversations, now is a time of transition in student life.

“His greatest challenge will be to influence the fraternity system in such a way that the leadership and the general membership recognize the need to change as Duke and the Duke students

change,” said Assistant Vice President

for Student Affairs Sue Wasiolek.

Adams will take over Wasiolek’s position as adviser to the Interfraternity Council. He will also work with Women’s Center Director Donna Lisker,

TODD ADAMS, the new assistant dean of student development, will advise the Interfratemity Council who advises the Panhellenic Council, and Assistant Dean for University Life Beverly Meek, who advises the National Panhellenic Council.

Adams said he will bring a different perspective to the greek system, and that he hopes to develop a greek community out of the individual groups. “Right now, it will be a challenge to bring together the

disparate groups of the Duke student b0dy...,” he said. “It’s an eclectic campus.”

—

Both IFC and Panhel officials helped select Adams, and IFC President Chris Dieterich expressed enthusiasm at his arrival.

“To have somebody who in their stated duties deals with greek issues is a great move for the administration,” the

Grad students, faculty work to establish bill of rights Later this month, administrators will name a task force to create a set of guidelines for students and professors

By MOLLY JACOBS The Chronicle the Members of administration and the Graduate and Professional Student Council are awaiting the appointment of a task force later this month to analyze the guidelines that govern graduate student and faculty interaction.

Both administrators and GPSC officials have made their own drafts recommending such conduct, but a single document has yet to be developed. The task force—made up of students and faculty—will attempt to reach a compromise and convert the two existing documents into one.

Debate is primarily centered around the existence of a bill ofrights—a document that some graduate students contend is meant to prevent mistreatment of their peers. Proponents claim that having such statements in a University-wide document would enhance its applicability.

“It is important that we have one cohesive document that is accepted by all parties,” said GPSC Attorney General Carol Chancey, a third-year biomedical engineering graduate student. “Whether or not it is called a bill ofrights is unimportant.... We just need to give people one place to look for anything involving graduate education.”

But members of the administration continue to question the validity ofadding such a strong code into the document, arguing that a bill ofrights should be taken up separately.

“It’s unclear if this is the appropriate place,” said Leigh Deneef, associate dean of the Graduate School.

“This might need to be a GPSC document.”

The task force hopes to create a compromised document by the end ofthe fall semester. When that is completed, the group must gain approval from the Executive Committee of the Graduate School.

Currently, the University has no established guidelines governing the responsibilities and relationships of graduate students and their faculty

mentors. An original task force was formed in 1997 GPSC later developed a reactionary document entitled, ‘The Duke University Charter for Graduate and to create one.

“It is important that all graduate and professional Professional Education.” It dealt with similar issues students understand the expectations and responsibiland included both a standard for behavior and a bill of ities they assume,” Deneef said. ‘That is why we need rights for students.

The development of such a document is not an idea to determine the best practices and policies for stuunique to Duke. Similar documents have been recentdent-faculty mentoring relationships.”

The original task force produced the “Guidelines for ly published by other universities and organizations.

N.C. Reform Party tries to push Hagelin onto ballot From staff reports North Carolina’s Reform Party has sued the state Board of Elections to block Pat Buchanan from appearing on ballots as the party’s presidential candidate.

didate, as the state party’s executive committee chose him and not Buchanan.

After Hagelin supporters submitted papers to the Board ofElections verifying him as the party’s nominee, Buchanan supporters protested.

Their protests were heard last week when the Board of Elections voted 3-1 in favor of placing Buchanan on the ballot.

The decision was motivated in part by Buchanan supporters’ claims that their candidate had the support ofthe national Reform Party and larger national constituency support.

Johnnie McLean, deputy director of the board, said the lawsuit could postpone the printing of the ballots for the Nov. 7 election.

An international human rights watchdog group issued a report singling out three North Carolina businesses for

widespread failure to protect workers’ rights in the United States.

Yesterday’s report by Human Rights Watch targets the N.C. Growers Association, Mount Olive Pickle Co. and Smithfield Foods.

The report accused both Mt. Olive and Smithfield Foods of blocking the formation of unions and the Growers Association of a form of “involuntary servitude.”

The report, authored by Cornell University Professor Lance Compa, accused the United States of neither enforcing its own laws nor complying with international agreements to stop employers from coercing and scaring workers away

Colleges Act The proposed legislation could be strongly affected by the success of a $3.1 billion bond initiative for capital improvements to the state’s colleges and ”

universities.

If the bond issue is voted down in the Nov. 7 general election, legislators may need to concentrate on funding capital improvements rather than pay increases, said state Sen. Howard Lee. University of North Carolina at Charlotte Chancellor James Woodward called the faculty compensation plan a defensive maneuver.

This plan follows UNC-Charlotte’s loss of faculty to both public and pri-

from unions.

Representatives from all three North Carolina firms mentioned took issue with the report and called its findings erroneous.

The Hispanic population of North Carolina was the state’s only ethnic group to score above its own national average on the SAT college entrance exam. Data released Tuesday said Hispanics averaged a score of 970 on the SAT last year; the group’s national average was 918. Native Americans’ scores in North Carolina had the greatest discrepancy with national scores. The group scored an average of 897 in the state, 66 points below the national average. Asian Americans averaged 40 below the national average, and whites scored 23 points below than their national average. Black students averaged 25 points below the group’s national average.

Durham students’ average rose by four points to 994, while Chapel Hill’s scores recovered from last year’s decline with a 15 point rise to 1,175. National scores rose three points to 1,019 and two points in North Carolina to 988. The state ranked 48th in the nation.

Mysterious power outage leaves students in dark OUTAGE from page 3 Senior Lorrin Lee played an early morning game of cards with friends in the still-lit commons room of House EE, one ofthe only spaces in the house with power.

“I am very disgruntled,” he said.

A representative from DUPD said outages took place in several locations and that the University dispatched one electrician and another worker. She P-

would not comment further.

“I feel like they are saying, ‘f-k you—we’ll take care ofit later,” said sophomore Maurice Loebl, who said he had heard that the deans apologized for the confusion, but still he felt frustrated.

“No one has been around to tell us anything,” he explained.

Both Southgate and Trent dormitories have also suffered power problems this week.

AT MU M

Other universities prepare to start class in cyberspace ONLINE CLASSES from page 4 about online education, even if it involves virtual interaction.

“A place like Duke wants to say that the heart of our education is in interaction between research faculty and undergraduates. To mess with that would not be a good idea,” said Joe Harris, di¥-

rector ofthe Center for Teaching, Learning and Writing. “[Listservs and chat rooms! do certain things quite well but they don’t do the same things an actual conversation does and they don’t replace the value of a conversation.”

Burton insisted that GEN courses will have a place for interaction. “Each course will have many different formats for interaction,” he wrote in an e-mail.

‘The social experience will not be eliminated; it will just be different via the networked environment of the web.”

Furthermore, Chafe said the University is concerned primarily with targeting ah adult audience—those who would otherwise be unable to take college courses.

“The advantage of this is to tap into a potential worldwide market oflong-distance learners, primarily adult, who wish to participate in the excitement of a university learning experience,” he said.

But Richard White, director ofundergraduate studies in biology and former dean of Trinity College, said online education should not be Duke’s primary role and that GEN’s proposal to bring top-level education down to the masses denigrates public institutions.

“Because it is outreach to the public, it would be more appropriate probably for the responsibility to rest with public institutions,” he said. “I don’t see that an online system of a particular course [from a private institution! has any greater panache than one coming from a state institution. It may be for the company.,.. It might make a difference to them.”

Maijorie McElroy, chair of the economics department, raised long-lingering concerns about intellectual property rights and faculty members.

“Enterprises such as the Global Education Network force the University to deal with a fundamental educational issue: Who owns a professor’s human

capital and lectures that go into making a great course? The professor? Duke? All citizens who pay taxes in a country that supports university education via tax exemptions, research grants, and outright subsidies?” she said. ‘These are tough questions. The answers will determine if universities and colleges lose

their shirts as the answers get worked out over time. There is no guarantee for Duke or any other place.”

Last spring, the Academic Council approved a policy that rendered course notes the professor’s property and works created in class as partly Duke’s.

Still, Burton, Trinity ’B5, said educators from at least three ofthe top 15 universities have agreed to work with GEN, either by contracting directly with it or by allowing their professors to do so.

John Tomasi, associate professor of political science at Brown, said he looks forward to relating his teachings to a wider audience. T get to reach people I normally couldn’t get to,” he said. “It always struck me as odd that I teach the stuff I 10ve... to an elite group.”

Guy Rogers, chair of the history department at Wellesley College, is producing a course on Alexander the Great and said that although Internet courses do not allow for student-faculty interaction, they have other advantages.

“If you keep an open mind about teaching in a new medium, I think it changes how you think of what you’re doing,” Rogers said. ‘This new medium allows you to simultaneously have a visual story going on as well so it’s not just me talking in a classroom.... Like anything else in life, you don’t know what it’s really going to be like until you do it.”

And that’s exactly why Wellesley has entered into an agreement to provide courses over a five-year period to GEN, unlike Brown and Williams, which have only allowed individual professors to contract with the company. “I think the whole thing is a huge unknown right now,” said William Reed, Wellesley’s vice president for finance and administration. This is a way to experiment and leam and to see....

You can’t answer it without really being a player and being involved in it.”

Human rights group files suit against Chinese leader

By EDWARD WONG

N.Y. Times News Service

NEW YORK Five veterans of the 1989 Tiananmen Square democracy movement are suing Li Peng, the chair of China’s National People’s Congress, in a federal court in New York for human rights abuses stemming from his role in the military crackdown that killed hundreds of civilians in Beijing.

It is the first time such a legal action has been taken in the United States against a Chinese official.

The civil suit was filed Monday in federal district court in Manhattan by the Center for Constitutional Rights, a nonprofit legal group that specializes in

human rights cases. Among the five plaintiffs are Wang Dan, a student leader of the Tiananmen demonstrations, and Zhang Liming, whose sister was shot dead by army troops who overran Tiananmen Square in the chaotic early morning hours of June 4,1989.

Li, who is in New York this week attending a conference of the world’s parliaments at the United Nations, was served with a court summons Thursday morning at the Waldorf Towers in midtown Manhattan. The summons was handed by a process server to an employee of the US. State Department who was guarding Li. In Washington Thursday, a State Department spokesperson said: “We are not

in a position to accept such a document on behalf of a foreign official.” However, earlier this week, Judge Richard Casey ruled that a federal employee guarding Li could accept the summons, given the difficulty of reaching Li The lawsuit charges that Li, who was prime minister during the Tiananmen massacre, was responsible for “crimes against humanity, including summary execution, arbitrary detention, torture and other torts.”

“We want to prove that he is accountable for the crime, and that this kind of crime, the human rights violation, is be-

yond China’s borders,” said Xiao Qiang, executive director of Human Rights in

China, a New York-based group that brought together the plaintiffs with lawyers from the Center for Constitutional Rights in anticipation of Li’s visit to New York.

Zhang Yuanyuan, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington,

did not return calls seeking comment.

If the federal court in Manhattan found in favor ofthe plaintiffs, it would be the first time a representative ofthe Chinese government had been found legally culpable in the Tiananmen massacre. The government continues to insist that the student-led demonstrations of 1989 constituted a “counterrevolutionary rebellion” that justified the military action.

Jakob’s arrest is the third time in 18 months that law enforcement agencies have made a quick arrest in an Internet fraud that targeted a big company’s stock, illustrating yet again that the promise of anonymity on the Internet is largely an illusion.

Law enforcement officials said they are continuing to investigate the Emulex hoax and have not ruled out the possibility of more arrests.

Graduate students win big money on online game show BIG MONEY from page 4 “We were holding our breath a little near the end,” said 31-year-old Maori.

Luckily for the two of them, Crowell knew how many points of view were used in William Faulkner’s “The Sound and the Fury,” and the two moved along to the final round.

But their science smarts couldn’t get them through the next round of truly obscure questions. Neither one knew that Orson Welles provided the voice for the unseen character Robin Masters in the television show “Magnum P.I Still, the team left the online world with about the cost of a college education—to be paid out over the next 25 ”

years and split between the two. Not bad for one hour’s work.

Maori said once the game was over he felt “relief, the removal of stress.” And, Crowell added, a little bit of disbelief.

“We were happy. I just didn’t believe it enough to really get excited about it,”

Crowell said. He added that only when

he sees the check will he “really believe.”

When the physics students realized they had won, they didn’t tell many people, but an article in The Herald-Sun of Durham shattered their anonymity.

Soon the entire department knew of their accomplishment.

“A lot of people congratulate you and make snide remarks like ‘When are you

gonna take me out to dinner?*” Crowell said. The newly famous graduate students said they have also received suggestions that they throw their physics lab a party.

But neither Crowell nor Macri plans to squander the cash flow on a couple of memorable bashes; instead, they’re considering more long-term investments.

Crowell plans to use some of his money to buy a new computer. Maori’s spending plans are even less frivolous, and focus on paying bills.

“When I am no longer on a grad stu-

dent’s salary I’ll think about other things,” he laughed.

So far, the company has had four $1

million winners and given away more than $8 million total.

Hildreth said the game’s popularity

is easy to understand.

“It’s really a great way to interact with groups socially and have fun,” he said. “It’s exciting, it’s fun and you can win money” Crowell doesn’t plan to continue in the online game realm anytime soon.

“I worry that I would be disappointed because this doesn’t happen very

often,” he said.

For now, the two are basking in their new-found fame, doing multiple media interviews and checking their mailboxes for the first sign of wealth.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1,2000

Lieberman faults ad Democrats say estate tax favors rich as personal attack � CAMPAIGN AD from page 2 he would push as president would be for campaign finance reform. The ad, he said, “gives us a chance to engage on the issue and remind people who he is .”

“At or around the first of September it is always important to sharpen the contrast,” Rove said. “That has been our plan for a very long time.”

Bush spokesperson Karen Hughes said the ad was no more personal or negative than Democratic commercials that “call the governor a polluter or suggest he doesn’t care about kids.”

But Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., Gore’s vice presidential running mate, said, ‘This drags us back to the worst politics of the past. Governor Bush has changed his tune about changing the tone. It is your

choice, America.”

The Democratic National Committee, which has outspent the GOP, had planned to announce a new ad or ads highlighting low student test scores in Texas and problems in the state’s Medicaid program.

But the announcement was put on hold after senior Democrats decided they wanted a clear field to try to create a backlash over the GOP ad, party sources said.

The tabled Democratic ad campaign referred to a federal judge’s ruling that criticized Texas’ care for low-income children under Medicaid. Bush dismissed the judge as a liberal Democrat and said the ClintonGore administration had done no better to help children on the federal level.

Airing in 17 states starting as soon as today, the GOP ad features a TV on a kitchen table. An image of Gore at the Buddhist temple in California flashes across the screen, as well as the vice president speaking about campaign finance reform.

‘There’s A1 Gore reinventing himself on television again. Like I’m not going to notice,” says a woman whose face is not seen. “Who’s he going to be today? The A1 Gore who’s raising campaign money at a Buddhist temple or the one who promises campaign finance reform? Really.”

� ESTATE TAX from page 2 Means nor Clinton ruled out the possibility of a com-

promise Thursday.

“The death tax punishes families for being successful,” said Hastert, using the Republicans’ pre-

ferred term for the estate tax.

“It punishes farmers. It punishes small business owners. It punishes those who have not planned ahead with an array oflawyers and accountants to keep their money in their family” he said. “Down the road, it will punish our young entrepreneurs, who are just starting their own Internet or high-tech ventures.”

Hastert has said he will also try to override Clinton’s veto of a bill to give married couples a tax break, one in a series of bite-size tax cut proposals that Republicans have sent to the president in recent weeks.

The bill to repeal the estate tax had drawn broad Democratic support in Congress, especially in the House, wheremembers recognized its allure to voters.

Thursday, Clinton was careful not to dismiss the idea of curbing the estate tax and highlighted his party’s proposals, which the Democrats say will provide more modest tax breaks for a greater number ofpeople, but which Republicans dismiss as having little impact.

“We are not against wealth and we are not against opportunity,” said Clinton. “If I were against creating millionaires, I have been an abject failure in my years as president.”

The current tax applies to estates worth more than $675,000, or $1.3 million for a family-owned farm or business, and by 2006 the limit would rise to $1 million. The Republican plan would have phased out the tax entirely over 10 years.

Only 2 percent of the families of those who die pay the estate tax, but Republicans argue that no one should have to pay the tax, which has a 55 percent top rate.

According to congressional and White House estimates, the bill would cost $lO5 billion in the first 10

years, as the tax is phased out, and then $750 billion in the decade after the tax is repealed.

Although recent public opinion surveys show that the bill has proven popular among voters, Clinton’s advisers say that is largely because it has been mis-

understood. “Of the $750 billion the repeal costs, one-half—nearly $4OO billion—goes to the top onetenth of one percent of estates,” said Gene Sperling, the president’s national economic adviser.

Bush, who has proposed a $1.3 trillion tax cut over 10 years, has endorsed the Republican estate tax repeal, incorporating it in his own plan. Thursday, Mindy Tucker, Bush’s press secretary, accused Gore of“showing weak leadership” in “standing by while his administration vetoed a bill that would help so many hard-working Americans and their families.”

Gore’s proposal is more in line with the Democratic alternatives. Instead ofphasing out the estate tax entirely, it would exempt all estates worth less than $5 million, and the results would be immediate.

“Most of the benefits under the Republican plan goes to the extremely wealthy” said Douglas Hattaway, a Gore campaign spokesperson.

Since the national conventions, Bush and Gore have jousted over the scale and wisdom of tax cuts at a time when the country is prospering economically.

The two have used the debate to underscore the two parties’ traditional political philosophies, a theme House and Senate lawmakers are also pitching on the campaign trail.

Republicans say the surplus—money not spent on protecting Social Security—should be returned to the taxpayer and not spent by the government. Democrats believe it should be steered toward education, health care, Medicare and other programs.

“You let the surplus sit there in this town and people will spend it,” Hastert said at a recent fundraiser. “The best thing wel can do is take that surplus off the table.”

Aiding financial aid The recently proposed improvements to the financial aid system offer solutions that remedy some of the program’s flaws

Duke

Student Government’s Financial Aid report, released in July, is one of the most important and comprehensive projects on this issue in recent years. The information gained from surveys of more than 200 students and several focus groups should help guide the University’s planning in this critical area.

The task force’s opinion that financial aid should be extended for a ninth semester is a good start, but its most aggressive recommendation, the revocation of the financial aid car policy, seems misguided.

The report is correct that students on aid are treated differently in some respects, many of which, like the car policy, may be burdensome. However, because the University is funding part of these students’ education, it is understandable that it impose conditions that demonstrate a student’s continued need.

The current policy restricts financial aid for students who bring cars less than seven years old or valued at $3,500 or more. Given that the financial aid office continues to audit these numbers to ensure that students can buy safe and reliable cars at these prices, this policy is reasonable and should stand.

Students can still drive home to New York or New Jersey in a car that is priced reasonably. Most importantly, though, a restriction on the type of car a student drives is not a restriction on that student’s quality of life on campus.

But the report is correct in emphasizing that a student’s financial status should not significantly affect her college experience, academic or social.

Currently, students who are on financial aid and matriculate without AP credits are forced to choose between taking an overload during two semesters or taking out additional loans so that they can enroll in summer school. Neither of these choices is particularly fair, because on one hand, students must continue to work on top of the increased courseload, and on the other, they must support themselves, and still earn enough money to pay their student contributions in the next fall.

The issue of summer aid also becomes important when major requirements, like those ofpublic policy, demand that students serve as summer interns—a job that rarely gives high financial returns.

The University must drop the summer contribution for these students because needing to find a high-paying internship drastically affects a student’s required academic experience.

Another notable effort by the committee was bringing attention to the inconvenience financial aid students encounter when trying to navigate between the functions served by the financial aid office and the student loan office. Whether or not the decision to move the loan office came as a result of these recommendations, combining these offices will no doubt give students better service and less wasted time commuting between the two offices.

This is largely the result of inadequate planning on the part of the University and with better preparation could certainly have been avoided.

However, football season has come and now the University gives students this scenario: If you park in the Blue Zone lots, parking for those who attend the football games will be less convenient.

It is more important to us that parking be convenient for those outsiders attending football games than for students living on campus. Thus, even though we have failed to create sufficient parking, we are asking you to help us deal with our mistake.

Back where it all began: ECU QB Garrard retu rns home a season-opening tussle with the Blue Devils Ex-Southern Durham High School star David Garrard returns to his hometown for

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

David Garrard has a little extra incentive to perform well this weekend.

As he enters his second full season as East Carolina’s starting quarterback, Garrard’s season debut will be in front of his hometown crowd.

With hopes of leading his team to a

So far, history has been good to Garrard. By the end of last season, Garrard had amassed 2,359 yards and 14 touchdowns with a performance that exceeded most expectations, pulling the Pirates on top of the conference. Right now, Garrard is third on ECU’s all-time passing list behind Marcus Crandall and Jeff Blake, but is on pace to overtake them both.

And while Garrard has seen tremendous success so far as quarterback —he took over during the last five games of 1998 and started every game last season—he’s also a key member of the Pirates’ ground attack. Last year, he was second among his teammates with 493 rushing yards, resulting in eight touchdowns.

“David loved to run the ball,” Hill said. “He would love to run it and he’d control it too.”

But having started 17 games before his junior season, the combination of relative youth and experience leaves Garrard with plenty of room to become even better.

“David is one of the better quarterbacks in the country, but he still has a lot of room for improvement,” ECU coach Steve Logan said at the beginning of fall practice. “There are many things that the casual fan or media would not see, but that the coaching staff sees and wants him to correct. He could definitely do a better job of making audibles, of throwing the ball away to avoid the sack, several things.”

Still, the combination of speed and size makes Garrard a rarity in college football and a formidable challenge for any defense.

“Last year we had problems tackling

the conference championship, Conference USA preseason player of the year wants to come out of the gate strong.

And Duke, which faces Garrard’s Pirates Saturday night, knows it.

“David is a tremendous athlete for quarterback,” Duke coach Carl Franks said at a press conference Monday. “He’s big—watch him on TV—a lot of people don’t appreciate his size.”

At 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds, Garrard is one of college football’s heavier and more physical quarterbacks. By comparison, Duke quarterback Spencer Romine is 25 pounds lighter.

Chip Hill, who coached Garrard at Southern Durham High School, noticed the Durham standout early on.

“David was God-blessed with ability, size and strength in his arm and we started noticing him in middle school when he played ball then,” Hill recalled.

“We’d go watch him play and started noticing him then. When he got to Southern, we were going to have to shape our offense around him.”

When it came time for college recruiters and campus visits after four successful years in high school, Garrard met a wave of reluctance due to what coaches perceived as an inability to call plays at the line, Hill recalled. UNC, N.C. State and Duke all passed him up.

“Florida and Florida State recruited him as a tight end,” Hill said, “because him and getting him sacked because they just didn’t think anybody 6-3 and he’s strong, he’s athletic, and he’s got a 250 pounds was a quarterback.

Homecoming QB II: Jurgensen to be honored Former Duke quarterback and defensive back Sonny Jurgensen will be honored tomorrow night. Inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1983 after a distinguished career, the legendaiy Washington Redskin leading the NFL in passing three times. Jurgensen played for the Blue Devils from 1953 to 1956 earning first-team AllACC honors and helping Duke to a 34-7 win over Nebraska in the 1955 Orange Bowl.

As Duke kicks off against ECU tomorrow, it will be the earliest starting date of a home game in Blue Devil football history—Sept. 2. Last year, the Blue Devils started their season Sept. 11 in Greenville and hosted their first game Sept. 18,

comfortable this year, he expected Saturday’s game to be quite different from last season’s match-up— Franks’ first game as head coach.

Duke’s running game tops the list of ECU coaches’ concerns. Last year, Duke averaged just under 75 yards per game on the ground. But this year, ECU expects the Blue Devils to take a far different approach than last year’s Airborne offense.

“I am not sure schematically what Duke will do on the ground, but I am sure running the ball will be more of an emphasis this season,” Logan said. ‘They weren’t all that successful last season on the ground and will probably try to run the ball more this year.

Coach Franks is a good coach and knows where the

problems lie and he will address them.”

Duke, meanwhile, has been working this week to figure out how to match up against what Franks calls the “best team in the state.” The Pirates’ primary offensive weapon is preseason Conference USA player ofthe year David Garrard.

both out with injuries, the Blue Devils’ first game will be a test-run for younger members of the team.

“We can’t let [Garrard] sit back there and have a lot of time to throw the ball,” Franks said. “We need to try and create some confusion.”

Another issue for the Blue Devils to contend with is keeping quarterback Spencer Romine off his back—something they failed to do a season ago.

Romine, however, expects the passing game to go much better than last year, partly because last year’s game was the first time the Blue Devils ran their new offense. This year they know the plays much better.

“The talent in the receiving corp is definitely there,” Romine said. “But also this year, our receivers are much smarter. They’re far more reliable, and won’t mess up their routes, which is preferable to having a lot of talent but stupid receivers.”

Whether the Blue Devils take another crack at their Airborne offense is a mystery to even the ECU coaches, but there’s little doubt that the Pirates will be in good shape to pick up their first win in Durham in 20 years.

No. 200 in 2000?

While Duke’s 70th anniversary might have been last year, the Blue Devils hope to tackle another milestone this year. With two more wins in Durham, Duke would record its 200th win at Wallace Wade Stadium, which has hosted the Blue Devils for 71 years.

ECU’s Duke connection For East Carolina recruiting coordinator Cliff Yoshida, Durham is familiar territory. A seven year coach at ECU, Yoshida is a former Duke assistant coach, working for two years (1978-80) under Mike McGee and Red Wilson.

Halftime or nap time?

With a number of true freshman looking for major playing time this year, Carl Pranks has 43 true or redshirt freshmen on his hands this season. Only 17 seniors return and ofthose, only 10 are fifth-year seniors.

The more things change...

This season’s coaching staff remains unchanged from last year’s, a rarity after a revolving-door winter in college football. This is the first year since 1992 that the coaching staff has been that stable.

Adding to that stability is the fact that with the continuation of Duke’s much hyped Airborne offensive system, this is the first season any current player on the team worked within the same system from one year to the next.

When East Carolina Has the Ball Not only is David Garrard a top-notch quarterback, but he’s also one of the team’s leading rushers, with 493 yards last season, not to mention 235 pounds.

Of Duke’s three returning starters on defense, IBs Kendral Knight and Toda DeLamielleure, bright spots in Duke’s defense. But can they deal with Jamie Wilson, who averaged 5.5 yards per carry last year?

In 17 games, David Garrard has a completion rate of 60%. Seniors Marcellus Harris and Keith Stokes provide him with plenty of talent in the air even though LaMont Chapell, their leading receiver last season, is gone. Junior cornerback is the only returning starter in tne secondary and Quentin Holley has left, leaving a huge deficit for Duke.

Last year, All-Freshman C-USA pick, Kevin Miller returns for both punting and kicking duties. To give his foot a little relief, redshirt freshman Bryce Harrington, who has more height than Miller, will handle kicking off. And Keith Stokes averaged 15.5 yards last year in punt returns, placing him eighth nationally.

Kicker Sims Lenhardt, responsible for all of Duke’s points against ECU last year, is gone and stepping into h!s All-ACC cleats is redshirt freshman Brent Garber. Accuracy might be uncertain. But senior Brian Morton at punter is back, along with his 42.8 yards per game average.

As East Carolina launches its 2000 campaign, it finds itself just behind Southern Miss in Conference USA’s preseason coaches’ poll. As Duke launches its season, it finds itself pegged last in the ACC. Twenty of last year’s 22 offensive starters for the Pirates return, including QB Garrard, whose size and speed give him a deadly combination of passing and rushing skills. With an influx of 43 true or redshirt freshmen this year and without last year’s rushing and receiving leaders, Duke has an uphill battle, even with a strong quarterbacking corps. And with three returners on defense, the hill gets even steeper. Injuries, including senior DT Nate Krill’s shoulder and back and junior strong safeby Kevin Lees ty B.J.

What ever happened Public Interest Gail Collins The service economy has created some strange and wonderful forms of employment. A friend of mine once went to a party in Los Angeles where the host had covered one room with fuzzy shag carpet—floor, walls and ceiling—and hired a man whose sole job was to fluff up the nap whenever it got matted. Survivor drove home the lesson that farmers and truck drivers are no match for people with titles like “corporate trainer” or “whitewater rafter.” At the Democratic convention, thanks to the presence of Christie Brinkley in the New York delegation, we were alerted for the first time to the existence of a career path known as “model/activist.”

Until recently, America chose its presidents pretty exclusively from the national pool of lawyers and generals. But lately the candidates’ backgrounds have gotten more varied. This year, of the Democrats and Republicans on the national tickets, only Joe Lieberman is a lawyer, and only A1 Gore was ever a full-time soldier.

It’s never been clear how much voters care if a president’s experience with the world of work in any way resembles their own. Do weary parents juggling two careers and child-rearing resent hearing about George W. Bush’s afternoon naps? Would middle-aged professionals who are too humiliated to admit they don’t know the difference between a money market and a mutual fund feel an affinity for A1 Gore, who keeps his savings in a passbook account?

candidates who held jobs?

Both Bush and his running mate, Dick Cheney, are rich men, while Gore and Lieberman are not.

Economically speaking, Gore may actually be downwardly mobile. He says he doesn’t buy stock because it might look like a conflict of interest, and Fortune magazine, analyzing what passes for the Gore portfolio, once suggested the vice president “could be a financial dolt.”

So which team better understands the working stiff? The Democratic candidates are less wealthy, but on the other hand, they’re both career politicians who have held elective office practically since puberty.

own $600,000 investment thus became $14.9 million when the franchise was sold. The work he performed as the managing general partner included encouraging team spirit, and reportedly involved a lot of autographsigning. This may not have given him much in common with the nation’s stevedores, but Brinkley and the other model/activists of the world undoubtedly know

what he’s been through.

Cheney spent most of his career in government, but the arrival of the Clinton administration left him cooling his heels at a conservative think tank. Happily, in 1995 he went salmon fishing with Thomas Cruikshank, chairman of the Halliburton Co., a huge energy services business, who liked Cheney so much he recommended him as his successor, at a salary of more than $1 million a year and oodles of stock options. During his tenure there, the future vice-presipretty nadential candidate’s big coup was a merger with the company’s chief rival, Dresser Industries, whose chief executive Cheney won over during a quail hunt.

Cheney’s ability to fish and shoot his way to serious money should be an inspiration to all careerists who Lieberman did have a two-year hiatus after he lost worry that an inability to play golf is standing between a House race in 1980, during which he worked as a them and success. Sure, there were some failures at lawyer and represented at least one client in the liquor Halliburton, including the time his company was banned industry who had issues before the Connecticut state from bidding on road construction contracts by the state legislature. The senator’s staff says this doesn’t mean of North Carolina. But they might provide a much-needhe used to be a lobbyist, but the experience probably ed humanizing touch. We’ve all had our little career setgave Lieberman a certain sympathy for the trials of a backs. Getting tossed out of North Carolina might not be one of them, but the concept is there. carpet-fluffer.

Happy Labor Day weekend.

Bush, who was about as successful at drilling oil Buy a steelworker a drink. wells as Gore is in investing, struck it rich when he persuaded a group of wealthy associates to help him buy the Texas Rangers and then persuaded the town of Gail Collins is a syndicated columnist for The New Arlington to build said team a new stadium.

Until recently, America chose its exclusively from the idents aortal pool of lawyers and generals.

Professor: Franziska Seraphim Not so long ago, the twenty-first century was widely predicted to become the “Asian century.” But now it seems more likely to become a “global century,’’dominated perhaps not by any one region but rather by global media of communication and multi-polar power structures. A key phenomenon of globalization is regional integration, spearheaded by the European Community. Meanwhile, the nations, economic zones, and cultural spheres of East Asia envision and put into practice their own version ofregionalism.

How have Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese seen each other in relation to the geographical space they have inhabited, and what contexts have significantly shaped their interactions? Why, for instance, is regional integration in East Asia more tentative and informal than in Europe?

-

-

Through our readings, lectures, and discussions, the grouping that is East Asia emerges primarily as a product of a modern history. Tracing international, transnational, as sub-regional relations from the pre-modem era through end of the twentieth century, we will identify and examine the most important forces that have shaped East Asia historically. Concurrently, we will develop a critical perspective on what it means to study East Asia from within the American academic tradition of area studies

Durham rezones Glitches in SISS slow down services Ninth Street area � SISS from page 5 versity Union received an extra $3.75 from each stu-

'P- NINTH STREET from page 1 ing the retail atmosphere would bring more activity,

to the district.

Some owners of local stores said they looked forward to new development.

“Adding more of a good thing only helps everyone,” said Tom Campbell, co-owner of the Regulator Bookshop on Ninth Street.

He opened the store 23 years ago, when most ofthe shops on the street focused on serving employees of a nearby mill. The industrial center closed, and retail businesses started to focus on serving a wider market.

While there are no plans for public investment in the Ninth Street expansion, the city is making things easier for developers.

Zoning restrictions in the Ninth Street area normally require a building to be set back from the road. But Norman Standerfer, director of Durham’s planning office, said the city is in the process of amending those ordinances to allow the new store fronts to be closer to the street, mirroring the feel of the rest of the street.

The DataFlow project comes in the midst of the city’s attempts to revitalize its downtown district. Although Ninth Street is not located downtown, city officials hope development throughout the city will help the city as a whole.

“This [project] plays right into the hands of what we’re trying to do downtown,” Standerfer said.

Last week, Standerfer and other city officials traveled to Asheville, N.C. to observe that city’s successful downtown revitalization project.

“Asheville is probably the most successful revitalization of a downtown that I have seen in my career,” he said, adding that Durham has a similar architectural style and potential. '''

FALL 2000

The History Department welcomes newly appointed Assistant Professor FELICIA KORNBLUH, who will teach Women's History at Duke. Felicia Kornbluh is a twentieth-century historian whose interests include welfare, law, feminism, and the history of sexuality. She also focuses on public policy from a gendered perspective. Before coming to Duke, Dr. Kornbluh served on the staff of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Children, Youth, and Families, and on the staff of several research, law, and policy centers. She is also a free-lance writer and policy analyst. Professor Kornbluh will teach two fall courses.

HISTORY 103,05

Women and Gender in the United States Since 1890-Present This survey course will center upon relationships among men, women, and the state since 1890. How have women and men shaped the legal process and state policies? The course will look at the history of feminism, the movement for lesbian and gay rights, and the myth of the 1950s family. The class will also examine the effects of Jim Crow segregation on Southern women and men, the sexual revolution of the 19605, and the effects of WWi, WWM, and Vietnam on U.S. gender relations

This course focuses on domestic welfare policies and their impact in the U.S. and Europe in the 20th century. The course begins in the late Igth century and ends with the US Personal Responsibility welfare legislation of 1996.

The course will study not only the cash transfer programs that we commonly call "welfare." It will also examine comparative health care policies, child care, European family allowances, labor regulation, and policies concerning domestic violence. Course themes include the political incorporation of women and men in modern states, law as an arena of public policy, and the role of social policy in discouraging or enabling women's participation in the waged labor force. The class will also examine the role of ordinary citizens in the making of public policies.

Florida ranking system places Duke in top level � RANKINGS from page I over the summer—argued, “The principal weakness of the current approach is that the weights used to combine the various measures into an overall rating lack any defensible empirical or theoretical basis.”

Magazine officials wouldn’t directly discuss the review, but said they constantly check and revise their

methodology.

US. News and World Report is not the only group that attempts to rank institutions of higher education.

Former president of the University of Florida John Lombardi has created The Center, a group that ranks research institutions.

The Center’s study, in its first year, looks at nine indicators to categorize schools, such as research spending and annual giving. Only one indicator, SAT scores, measures undergraduates. The study then ranks institutions based on how each school scores in each category. The re-

suiting compilation is two lists of the top 25 public and private universities in which schools are placed into tiers rather than given explicit rankings. Duke was one of the 10 schools in the top tier of private universities.

Researchers believed individual rankings were too distinctive, said Diane Craig, research coordinator for the study.

Bumess agreed. “I’m personally more confident in a tier system. It conveys a better sense of information,” he said, adding that a tier system is not without fault.

Princeton, ranked first by U.S. News as well as the Princeton Review, was not in the first tier. “Princeton was just off by one indicator,” Craig said. “Federal research—that’s what brought them down. [U.S. News is] geared more toward the consumer. We’re looking at the research institution.”

Despite rankings such as those at Florida, U.S. News officials said they remain confident in their report.

Agassi stared straight ahead, his eyes clear, his voice firm, and gave all the credit to Frenchman Amaud Clement for ending his reign as champion Thursday, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.

“It was just a brutal day,” the top-seeded Agassi said.

It has been a brutal summer for Agassi after a brilliant year. From a run of four straight Grand Slam finals and three titles, he stumbled to second-round exits in the French and U.S. Opens, and a stinging semifinal loss at Wimbledon.

It was a summer when he hurt his back in a car accident and learned his mother had breast cancer, just as his sister did.

With all that, perhaps it was understandable that the 30-year-old Agassi would reveal a sense of perspective on his latest loss, saying, “Don’t be too sorry,” when someone sought to comfort him on the way to the players’ lounge.

When Agassi saw his girlfriend, Steffi Graf, minutes after the match*, he smiled and joked a bit, performed a quick dance step with her, their hips bumping, and moved on to chat with other friends.

“He hasn’t had the best summer, and I don’t think he came in here with the expectation that he would be able to impose his game on his opponents,” said Perry Rogers, Agassi’s best friend and manager.

In their game last weekend, the Blue Devils did exactly that. Only three minutes into the contest, junior forward Sarah Pickens took the steam out of a pumped-up Catawba team, which never recovered.

Despite Duke’s six-goal margin of victory, Hempen actually believes that the Catawba game was quite constructive for his team, because the Blue Devils learned to play in front of an unfriendly environment, a situaScc MARYLAND on page 23

Wise, succeeds despite

shoe scandal sanctions

Alieva decides not to televise ECU game Concerns about ticket sales and student support prompted the athletic director’s decision

By ANDREA BOOKMAN

By GREG BEACHAM

The Chronicle

Associated Press

Michael Bennett rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown as No. 4 Wisconsin survived the suspension of five starters in a lackluster 19-7 victory over Western Michigan Thursday night.

Three hours before kickoff, Wisconsin said 26 players had been suspended from one to three games for receiving unadvertised discounts at a shoe store.

Eleven players served all or part of their suspensions against Western Michigan.

In the Badgers’ first game since the graduation of NCAA career rushing leader Ron Dayne, Wisconsin’s offense struggled to produce the methodical drives once led by the Heisman Trophy winner. Bennett got 30 carries but rarely broke into the Broncos’ defensive backfield, and Wisconsin’s passing game was erratic.

But Wisconsin’s underwhelming performance can’t be attributed entirely to the suspensions. Only four Badgers expected to play a significant amount were suspended.

Receiver Chris Chambers—who’s injured anyway—receiver/kick returner Nick Davis and offensive tackle Ben Johnson were the only offensive starters out. AllAmerican comerback Jamar Fletcher and linebacker Bryson Thompson were the missing defensive starters.

Wisconsin didn’t get an offensive touchdown until a 68-yard drive capped by Bennett’s 8-yard run around the left end with 9:31 to play. Thirteen seconds later, defensive end Ross Kolodziej sacked Broncos quarterback Jeff Welsh in the end zone for a safety.

Josh Hunt scored on an 89-yard punt return in the second quarter for the Badgers, who entered the season with the highest preseason ranking in school history. Hunt, a junior playing in his first game, made the second-longest punt return in school history.

Wisconsin quarterback Brooks Bollinger frequently scrambled but found no one open. Bollinger, the Big Ten freshman of the year last season, improved to 9-0 as a starter.

“Literally, I think there are 1,500 students at Catawba and they were all at the game,” Hempen joked. “It didn’t matter what the score was, they were still yelling. So, I think our team is ready for [a tough playing environment!.”

Even though Duke gained some valuable experience in its first game, Hempen still hopes that his team can straighten out a few remaining kinks.

For instance, Hempen admits the defense has yet to fully integrate returnee Stephanie Kraay, who was out all of last season due to injury, as well as Rebecca Smith and Katie

“I think they’ve overachieved at this point,” Hempen said, “especially as far as what I expected to get out of them this early in the season.”

But to stay on a winning track, the newcomers will undoubtedly have to continue to contribute, as the Maryland game signals the first of many poten-

tially difficult battles that lie ahead.

After venturing to College Park, Duke faces three difficult road games against non-conference opponents.

And when they finally return home, Duke resumes its rigorous ACC schedule by facing a Florida State team that recently entered the top 25 after beating in-state rival Florida.

Thus, Hempen has tried to instill a Heaps, who both suffered minor mentality in his team that “every game injuries in the preseason. counts”—especially the Maryland game.

However, Hempen has been pleased “It’s an incredibly difficult conference to compete in and you’re fighting for with the play of his large class of newcomers, which includes seven freshmen seeding already, even if it’s the first and two transfers. In fact, four of his game of the year,” Hempen said. “You newcomers are currently starting.

The Red Storm enters this season ranked 15th in the NSCAA poll, the other major college poll.

“They’re a very strong team,” Rennie said. “They play a similar game to Rutgers. They play a real defensive game and then look to counterattack.”

If theBlue Devils succeed in stopping the Red Storm, they will face the Connecticut Huskies.

The Huskies open the season ranked second after a 1999 season in which they posted a 19-5-0 record and advanced to >

the national semifinal

“Connecticut probably has the most talent of any team in the country,” Rennie said.

“One or two of their players could have easily gone pro. They were in the Final Four last year. That will be a real test for us.”

In addition to being pleased with the opportunity to take on St. John’s and Connecticut, Duke is excited at the chance to play in New England.

“It’s a tremendous environment for soccer,” Rennie said. ‘They have great fan support and great crowds. It’s a great atmosphere to play in.”

Frenchman Clement downs listless Agassi in straight sets AGASSI from page 23 Agassi didn’t even come close to imposing his game on the 37th-ranked

Clement, who had lost to him at the French and US. Opens last year in their only previous meetings.

While Clement bounced jauntily around the court, whacking 36 winners to Agassi’s 19, Agassi looked leaden, his feet barely moving, his usually quick hands moving slowly, his shots lacking pace and depth and accuracy.

They each made 27 unforced errors, but Clement’s usually came when he went for winners.

Agassi’s, on the other hand, came when he missed easy shots that he might normally make with his eyes closed.

“It’s finding the balance between hitting offensively enough to control the point, but not playing too big,” Agassi said. “I struggle with that. Sometimes I played too big and occasionally I just took a little bit off of if. I never found my quality pace shot that allowed me to dictate without taking too many chances. It was a little breezy down there, tough conditions.

“Once you start second-guessing your shots, your feet don’t respond as well.

When the ball’s moving around and your feet aren’t adjusting, mistakes are going to happen.”

Agassi had jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first set, then he simply melted in the muggy heat, losing eight of the next nine games.

His body language, with his head drooping, his shoulders sagging, his eyes

wandering, indicated the frustration he was feeling. Arnaud could see it, and so could the perplexed fans who tried futilely to pump him up.

“Good morning!” one fan yelled out as Agassi struggled on in the late afternoon. Truly, Agassi looked half asleep. When asked if his heart was in it, Agassi said, “Yeah, very much.”

When asked if he was distracted at all, he said he wasn’t.

When asked if his back bothered him, he said no.

If Agassi was hurting, emotionally or physically, he was keeping it to himself.

“Just, you know, trying to figure out how to get to him, but I couldn’t do it,” Agassi said. “Just got outplayed....

You’ve got to give people credit where credit’s due.”

In truth, Clement played splendidly, but not spectacularly. It was a case, this time, of Agassi shooting nothing but blanks.

“For sure, he didn’t play a great match today,” Clement said. “He did a lot of mistakes. I don’t think about him.

I just think about me.

‘To win this match...it’s unbelievable because it’s on an unbelievable court.

What to do, where to do it We leave the how up to you.

What's In A Name?

Apparently, the album title Significant Other was just t00... insignificant. Further casting aside all concepts of taste and decency, Limp Bizkit plans to title their new album, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. For those who can't decode this particular obscenity, the "chocolate starfish" is a reference to your... yeah. (As in, "you can stick it up your yeah!") As for the "hot dog flavored water," well, we'll leave you to give a long, hard thought to that.

Of course, Fred Durst and the Biz-kids aren't the first band to try a wacky, miserable or suggestive title that screams, "Don't buy me." In fact, Recess dug up a number of album titles from years past that, perhaps like "hot dog flavored water," just leave a bad taste in our mouths.

Hootie and the Blowfish Cracked Rear View: You know what "crack" these asses are talking about viewing.

Van Halen For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge: Since the word I*** would be too obscene (even for Recess), the horndogs used the legal charge that spawned it instead. Clever!

Warrant Cherry Pie: You can't make pie out of that kind of cherries.

Foxy Brown 111 Na Na: An innocuous enough reference to umm... Foxy's more intimate parts.

The Dwarves Blood, Guts and Pussy. This Sub Pop classic pretty much spells it out. So does the nasty, nasty album cover that depicts all of the aforementioned.

Steely Dan Two Against Nature: Just thinking about the aging Donald Fagen, Walter Becker and a real "steely dan" (a term for a ;elf-pleasuring device) at the same time is a crime nature.

SELF: Fred Durst definitely has something stuck up his "yeah."

:ney Spears ...Baby One More Time: Unless she's really begging for a left hook to the noggin, it'd take a man with staying power to "hit" Britney more than once.

•dhound Gang Use Your Fingers: These guys were ig with something even smaller when they titled text misogynistic album Hooray for Boobies. tne Temple Pilots Tiny Music...Songs from the ican Gift Shop: Not only was this title excruciating, but teroin-addled, spotty songwriting on the album was, Don't Vatican gift shops play elevator music, anyway? teresting aside: SIR frontman Weiland produced Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish. .. A coincidence?

Sounds to us like he's not quite off the smack.

But if you think it's hard to pull off that sexy A&F look when you're strutting down the quad, you can only begin to imagine what it takes for Abercrombie to make you one of their own "brand representatives" Recess recently got our hands on a top-secret "look book" guide for A&F employees.

Schwarzenbach needs less and gets more; "When you say my name to me / Like some amusing piece of food between your teeth /Then I will know it's completely over /Won't you say my name to me?"

Still, Four Cornered Night transcends Jawbreaker's simple pop-punk, or even the gradual evolution of Jets to Brazil’s first outing, Orange Rhyming Dictionary.

Here, the Jets rewrite the rules. An unabashed anthemic streak runs through almost every track; the band skirts perilously close to Bad Company territory when the keyboards kick in. But the touch is light enough, the words deft and sure.

And the night's brittle moment, sketched piecemeal from a day's ups and downs and a year's worth of memories, is waiting for the sound of someone who understands.□

Recess Editor Jonas Blank caught up with Jets to Brazil frontman Blake

Schwarzenbach at his home, where he was fending off interview queries from journalists around the nation in preparation for the band's upcoming tour. Jets to Brazil are appearing this Sunday at the Cat's Cradle with local acts White Octave and Three Stigmata.

What has everyone been asking you today? initially people were asking what the hell we thought we were doing.

They've gotten a little friendlier now.

What did you do differently this time around? How is this different from your last record?

I see it as an evolution—more of a band feel. It's a more concentrated block of writing, all done in the two years since our last record...

A lot of these songs—well, almost all of your songs, really—tend to be pretty sad. Would you say you're a sad person?

I try not to be. But I think it's something i’ll have to deal with. Writing about [sadness] is away of coping. It's away to salvage something from it.

Is there one specific relationship or incident that you're writing about? : Ibis record is about one person that} was involved with, yeah.

How would you describe the difference in the actual sound of this record?

One interviewer said "baroque," and I think that's a pretty good term.

There's a fair amount of flourish on it.

Are the keyboards part of the "what the hell are you doing" factor?

I think they scare some people. But I think our fans expect the unexpected from u5...! wrote about half the songs on the piano.

What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever said or done to you?

Last time we were at the Cat’s Cradle, we were pelted with underwear.

That's rock n'roll!

The worst thing is, though, it was tike men's jockeys—it wasn’tTom Jones at all. It was like boot camp or something, or a frat raid.

If you could be one 70s rock star, who would you be?

What do you mean?

Like, if you could go back in a crazy time machine and become, like, PeteTownshend or something.

1 think that'd be it actually. It looks like the most fun. He doesn't have to sing much, so he's pretty free to just rock. Its amazing to see how angry he was back then. I think they were a pretty punk rock band.

Does the term "punk" mean anything nowadays? think today it really has to mean really roots music. Punk began so long ago, if you're not true to its roots, you can’t call yourself punk.

Did you consider Jawbreaker a punk band?

No, though a lot of people pegged us as that.

Where is the name Jets to Brazil from, anyway? it's actually a poster in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Our drummer Chris found it.

What would you say is the most ironic thing about being a rock musician?

The assumptions that people make about you versus the reality of who you are. Sometimes people think it's glamorous, that you're very social—and that's really not true. Some people think you go out and party and have a good time.

What do you guys do to wind down?

We jump on the beds at the motel—that's motel, not hotel —mostly.

Francesca’s

Walk into Francescas on 9th Street and you'll discover a shop that's candy to both the eyes and mouth.

By Yng-Ru Chen Founded in 1985 by three women, the store is currently owned by one of the original founders, Sherry Kinlaw.

Sure, this area has other dessert shops. So what's the appeal of Francesca's?

To begin with, nobody can touch the shop's 200-plus flavors of fresh-made gelatto (Italian ice-cream) and the over 150 pasty possibilities that are also made fresh in the shop. Not convinced? Read on.

Gelatto is an Italian dessert that is so delicious when done right, it's a wonder more places in the U.S. haven't caught on yet. Its creamy taste has often been wrongly attributed with an obvious culprit—more cream, more fat. Actually, gelato has less fat than ice-cream (most Francesca's vari and the creamy taste comes from a reduced a right —air has never tasted so good. According to creams like Breyer's contain up to 44 percent air, with more sugar and fatty ingredients. Frances eat more ice cream and get more for their bucks —even a small cup lets you sample two different flavors. Still worried about fat?

Francesca's sorbets —not as creamy, but still sumptuous —are 100 percent fat-free. Ben and Jerry should be jealous.

Francesca's added pastries to the menu in 1991, when the store hired new chefs straight from the Culinary Institute of America. These geniuses brought in cakes and tortes to the repertoire of cookies already included in the menu. By the way, it wouldn't hurt to check

out the Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Torte Francesca's Dessert Cafe Perhaps the NEVER THE SAME THING TWICE: You can go to Francesca's every day of 706-B 9th St. distinthe week and find different flavors of gelato each time. most Durham, NC 27705 guishing charac 919.286.4177 teristic of this cafe is its commitment to the local Hours: Sunday-Thursday, 1 lam-11:30pm.

Kinlaw, a native of North Carolina, says she is committed to this area because of its strong mix of students and university employees. Her hours are also studentfriendly, closing at 11:30 on Monday through Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturdays. The cafe is also open on Sundays.

So bring a book, friends, and definitely a sweet-tooth. The relaxing ambiance, low prices, and wonderful food marks Francesca's as a rare local jewel—and makes it a nice alternative to what it offerred on campus. See ya later, fro-yo.

Y°u cant get "Adam and Eve on a Rack" here If you are wondering what "Adam and Eve on a Rack"

By Sarah Bell is, so was I. Turns out, it's diner slang for two eggs, sunnyside up on toast. But don't expect to hear that jargon around the kitchen at Elmo's Diner. Though Elmo's does serve the dish, people who work at Elmo's pride themselves and their restaurant on being a friendly place, one where confusing diner lingo and poor service have no place. In fact, the name Elmo's was chosen specifically because it sounded like a "friendly" name. There is nobody named Elmo associated with the restaurant, and no red, stuffed mascot—just good food, friendly service and reasonable prices. Everything on the menu is under $lO and the helpings are hearty.

Located conveniently on Ninth Street just off of East Campus, Elmo's is a college student's dream restaurant. The menu isn't fancy, but consists of a wide array of what manager Holly Butman calls, "slightly updated diner food." Elmo's revamped its menu recently, with the addition of more vegetarian options like veggie fajitas and a hummus sandwich, along with the continuation of the ever-popular "breakfast all day."

Among all the familiar reasons, senior Taylor West probably described the appeal of Elmo's to her and her friends the best: "Our lives are busy as hell but we still make time to eat at Elmo's."

Guard A new group of artists called the Derriere Guard is bringing reality back to high culture.

By Alexandra Wolfe

D

id you watch last week's final Survivor?

What about The Real World? How about a sporting event? Or the news? More than likely, you did. Different as they are, these programs have something in common; They all depict real life.

In fact, most of the top ten shows this summer have been based on reality. The man or woman on Who Wants to be a Millionaire has really won a million dollars. Is this trend telling us something?

Do we miss reality?

While artless reality has captivated the American psyche, "high" art has often seemed unreal and inaccessible. Today, popular culture and fine art are completely disjointed. Modern art is incomprehensible to most people who haven't taken a modern art class. The Duke University Museum of Art is practically empty each day aside from classes displaying their semesterly projects or the pre-frosh tour groups, while TVs and stereos blare in dorm rooms almost twentyfour hours a day.

Certainly, popular culture is by definition the most popular type of culture. But perhaps that effect is enhanced by the fact that some people don't get satisfaction out of blue and green squares on white canvas, or just white canvas by itself.

However, while Bach rarely booms above the Bryan Center walkway, more than a few students have Monet, Cezanne or Ansel Adams decorating their rooms. It's modern, avant-garde blank canvas hangings that you're not likely to see. Why? Because going to sleep while staring at a Jackson Pollock splash painting would either a) give you nightmares or b) remind you of our early scribble scrabble that your mother hung on the refrigerator door. Not all high culture seems to escape our vision—just most of the current crop of it. So can there be a happy medium? Can popular culture and classical art ever meld again?

A group called The Derriere Guard and

their comrades may have the answer. A loose-knit collection of artists founded by composer Stephania de Kennessy, the Derriere Guard is attempting to do to high culture what has already been done to television—revive realism.

"People think of realistic, natural art as old-fashioned and outdated. That's because until now, realists were stuck in the 19th century," de Kennessy argues. "No one is interested in courts, kings or queens anymore—there is too much going on right now."

Derriere Guard artists are united by a belief that high art can be brought to a popular level. "Art is .not an elitist endeavor," said independent realist painter Graydon Parrish. Parrish triumphed over avant-gardists at Amherst College earlier this spring when he submitted his striking allegorical painting, "Remorse, Despondence and the Acceptance of an Early Death," to the museum curators. The curators spumed the piece in favor of more conceptual work such as a Sol Lewitt piece that consisted of a piece of paper with instructions on it, saying; "Each person take a marker and make a squiggle on a piece of paper."

These squiggles cost over fifty thousand dollars.

But Parrish got a much warmer reception outside the art department —the Board of Trustees saw the painting, became enamored of it, and bought it for forty thousand dollars. The painting will finally make its way to the Amherst campus after its current display in the Hirshl and Adler Gallery in New York City.

"Museum people have been trained to look for conceptual art," said Parrish. "There's no one around who paints like this, so there's no sense of community. You're breaking outside of a system."

Parrish's work includes portrayals of communal struggle, movements of soul and human emotion.

De Kennessy believes that it is the avant garde style, and not realism, that has become the stilted status quo. "Popular music consists of only three chords, whereas classical music has many more. 1 want to use as many chords as I want and make the richest sounds I can, but compose with contemporary themes and on a popular level."

Still, many in the art world do not find the return to realism richer. "I'm sick of hearing these realists say their work is 'affirming!" blasts former Whitney Museum director David Ross.

"It's not affirming, it's sappy. Art isn't about making pretty pictures to put in people's homes. [The realists] are rebelling against the age of cynicism? Well, it's not cynicism! It's smartness! It's lack of naivete!"

Is it really naive to want to represent the world around us, though? Research by University of Texas at Dallas art professor Frederick Turner and neuropsychologist Ernst Poppel suggests that humans are biologically programmed to appreciate the classical genres of art—visual representation, verse in poetry and narrative and melody in music. ''My work is based on nature and principles of structure,'' Parrish said. "I'm entranced by the visual world around us."

Should art be something we want to see rather than something that estranges us? That depends on your version of reality. □

Bring It On is teen fluff, but it still makes the team

By Greg Bloom

do justify myself in saying that liked Bring It On, a fluffy, peppy high school cheerleading comedy? don't think I'm alone Jl when say that rank cheerleaders next to telephone salesmen and fascist dictators on my List of Favorite People, and as a rule I generally opt out of teensploitation movies to watch things more rewarding, like Bassmaster. But —so help me God —Bring It On packs some surprises, however few and concessionary they may be.

The

m

Recess Arts Editor Alexandra Wolfe taike the directors of American Pie about their directing and, of course, that apple pie-

There's

really no way of portraying a guy having sex with a pie short of actually doing it." So said Chris Weitz, co-director of the 1999 hit movie, American Pie. As Chris and Paul Weitz’s second big screen success, American Pie just barely made it to Pirated status. Two versions are still floating around, one approved as an R picture by the Motion Picture Association of America, and the other, unadulterated version, rated NC-17.

"We went through this surreal back and forth process with the MPAA, cutting certain camera angles, two thrusts of the pie, a word here, a word there, where a hand would go," said Chris. "We just managed to keep it a cut under the R rating."

The brothers didn’t realize how raunchy the film would be until they saw it onscreen. And while the screenplay was written by Adam Herz about his own high school experience in Michigan, where the film was set, the Weitzes felt the subject matter held some autobiographical significance for everyone. "It's autobiographical in the sense that it's about a teenage guy who's a complete loser and has no idea of what's going on," said Chris.

A Break from the Coat &Tie.

Paul and Chris ere their differing educations as one of the reasons they work so well together.

"Paul had a completely American education, while Chris had a completely European one," said their mother, Susan Weitz. Paul graduated with honors from Wesleyan while Chris graduated with a "double first" from Cambridge in England, a rare honor for an American student.

The brothers' personalities are also completely different, which they said allows them to balance each other out and play off each others' strengths. "Paul is more disciplined, rigorous and emotionally involved," said Chris. "I'm a lot more laid back and eternally optimistic."

The brothers have always collaborated closely, and plan to in the future. When they edit, they divide a given script into pieces, seperate, and then meet to discuss.

Both Weitzes didn't start out wanting to be filmmakers; while Paul had always written plays and been involved with acting, Chris considered journalism and even becoming a diplomat. He said he realized what he really wanted to do when he and his brother wrote a play together about a pornography director making a Bergman movie.

"We kept writing screenplays... it was years and years before one was made into a movie.

Once one is recognized, you're generally known," said Chris. The brothers got their break when their screenplay called "Karma Cops" was bought by MGM. Soon, their names started to circulate throughout Hollywood.

When Dreamworks commissioned a script for the digitally animated movie Antz. they needed one good enough to persuade stars like Woody Allen and Gene Hackman to do the voices for the film. The Weitzes got the job.

"We knew the actors' voices before we started writing. It's easier to avoid cartoonification that way," said Chris After the success of Antz the Weitzes faced more and more opportunities. "We just kept writing things we thought were funny and fortunately other people did too." They soon landed directing jobs for American Pie, and recently acted in Chuck and Buck, a stalker comedy. They are currently directing and producing a new Chris Rock movie called Down to Earth.

"Directing was a revelation," Chris said. "You get to hang out with the biggest number of cool people." Chris would like to keep directing and producing and extend his work into all genres and settings.

Perhaps as the years (or film seasons) go by, the brothers' names will continue to jump from screenwriters to directors to actors to producers to production company. Who knows. As for their future goals, Chris says: "I'm already doing exactly what I want to do. This is the most exciting job in the world." How many people who have just hit thirty can say that? The Weitzes can.D

Can Tommy’s Tigers unseat his daddy’s ’Noles?

Bobby Bowden’s Seminoles have won the ACC every year since it joined, but this year might be different

By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

For the 10th straight year a Bowden should win the ACC, but this year it may not be Bobby.

Tommy Bowden, the second son of national champion Florida State Seminoles football coach Bobby Bowden, has become the latest coach to move his team into a position to topple the perennial ACC champions. Unbeknownst to most, the Clemson Tigers were the last team, aside from Florida State, to win an outright ACC football title.

A decade later, the Tigers are bidding to become the other beacon of light in the dark sport of ACC football, but to do that, Tommy will have to do something he has failed to do every time thus far.

He must beat his dad.

Last year in South Carolina, the Seminoles had their biggest scare on their title trail when they only beat a mediocre Clemson team 17-14. This year, the two teams do not meet until the 10th game of the season. For Tommy, winning against his dad will be even tougher in 2000 when Nov. 11 rolls around—he has to beat Florida State in Tallahassee, something that has never been done in ACC play.

Tommy will admit that the prospect of playing his dad for the ACC title does interest him, especially if both teams were to come into the battle 9-0, but right now he says his main focus is getting Clemson back to finishing in the top 25 for the first time in seven years.

“I think finishing in the top 25 would be a realistic goal,” he said. “A lot

of people are talking about winning nine or 10, or going to the [Bowl Championship Series!. But to me, when you haven’t finished in the top 25 in seven years, that would be a realistic [goal to start with] Most reporters, however, are expecting far more than the top 25 out of the Tigers. The defense that held last year’s top-ranked offense to its lowest point total of the season returns eight starters, including Keith Adams arguably the nation’s top defender. Moreover, Clemson’s offense has been revitalized and its quarterbacks love to run.

It’s no wonder the Tigers haven’t been picked much below the top 15 and by some well into the top 10.

But Tommy is still skeptical. Last year, his team, while going 5-3 in ACC play, was only 1-3 in non-conference play. This year, he still will barely even commit to six wins.

“We have no open dates the first 10 games so injuries are going to be more of a factor,” he said. “We do have more depth this year and we return 16 players which should guarantee six wins.

That is if we play as well.”

On the other side of the spectrum, Florida State has nowhere near the amount of possible problems that the Tigers could face. The defending national champions return nearly all of their team from last year.

That repeat, but how early to start partying when they do. If anything eventueven includes the Tigers, picked second ally leads to their downfall, it will be in the ACC preseason polls.

Saved by the receivers: The new class Four freshmen will likely jump into the mix when Duke tries to go Airborne in 2000

By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

If you look up Senterrio Landrum in the Duke football yearbook, you won’t see him listed as a “comerback” or “runningback,” or even his newly acquired position of wide receiver. Landrum is simply listed as an “athlete.”

It might seem like a mistake, but the term “athlete” might be a more appropriate way to describe all of Duke’s incoming freshman receivers.

Of the four newcomers—Landrum, Reggie Love, Jeremy Battier and fivefoot-nine prospect Khary Sharpe—three are considering competing in two sports and all of them have the possibility of playing multiple positions on the gridiron.

One fact, though, is uniform about all of these players—each of them are willing to do whatever is necessary to turn the tables on Duke’s recent football failures.

“They aren’t the guys that come in and are all cocky,” starting quarterback Spencer Romine said. “They came in wanting to play and wanting to learn.”

Learn they have, and play they will.

Second-year coach Carl Franks has said in no uncertain terms that Duke’s corps of youngsters will jump right into the fire when the Blue Devils kick off their season tomorrow night at 6 p.m.

“The young guys are going to have a chance to come in and make an impact at receiver,” he said. “They’ll have a chance at a lot of places, but receiver is

REGAN HSU/THE CHRONICLE

JEREMY BATTIER breaks into a receiving pattern as the offense ran several non-contact series against the defense Wednesday.

Despite his inexperience at tight end, Battier is more than happy to play the position—as long as the Blue Devils

benefit from this placement.

“They’ve put me at wide receiver throughout most of the summer, but I’ll play basically wherever the coaches want me to play,” the former Michigan high school state champion said. “If they want me to play at tight end, then I’ll play it. I just want to win.”

The younger brother of basketball standout Shane Battier, Jeremy plans to be an impact player on the football field just like his older brother is on the basketball court. But once the football season ends and basketball season arrives, the younger Battier, an all-State selection for basketball in his junior year of high school, will consider joining his brother on the court.

“I’ve been presented with a great opportunity, but... I haven’t made a decision yet,” Battier said about possibly playing for the basketball team.

“I’m here to play football, that’s what’s paying me this scholarship right now.

I want to make sure I’ve got all that in check. Secondly, I’m getting an education. As long as football and my education fall into place, I’ll play basketball here.”

And Battier is not the only freshman on the football team who is considering a stint on the basketball team.

Love, who is rated the fourth-best football prospect in North Carolina by Superprep and was named State Player of the Year in basketball, might one of the best of them.”

For Battier, who will tandem with also decide to double-up on Duke senior Mike Hart at tight end, his posisports teams. tion will be relatively new.

the season and hopefully finishing up with a bowl game. And then I’ll decide whether I’ll go out [for the basketball team].”

While the decision about his basketball future might not be weighing on his mind during football season, Love certainly does have many other things to ponder, including the fact that he is one ofthe most highly touted in-state recruits Duke has signed in recent years.

The Superprep All-American received numerous distinctions throughout his high school career and was ranked the nation’s 10th best tight end by Rivalsloo.com.

The attention surrounding these honors has placed pressure on Love to stand out almost immediately. However, Love says he welcomes the challenge and even places added pressure on himself as a form of motivation.

“I feel a lot of pressure on the field because I expect so much out of myself, I expect myself to perform,” he said. “It’s not a bad thing—l just want to do well, I want to represent myself well and I want to represent my team well.”

Another person who would like to be an integral part of the team is Sharpe, a comparatively small wideout who hails from Voorhees, N.J. Known for his ability to make big plays, Sharpe averaged 42.6 yards per catch and helped his high school team advance to New Jersey’s Group Four state championship game.

Unlike Battier and Love, though, Sharpe will need

suhs

and TCBY

to learn how to play against defensive backs who are taller and more physical than him. Still, the 5-9,165pounder is not worried about the height disparity that he will be facing.

“I like my height,” Sharpe said. “I look at it as an advantage because lots of people look at me and think, ‘Hey this little guy isn’t going to be able to do anything.’ Hopefully I will go out there and prove them wrong.

“It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”

Fans might have to wait to see just how loud Sharpe’s bark is, however, because the freshman is still recuperating from injuries to both knees that he suffered in the offseason.

Of the four newcomers, Landrum will have the most difficult transition as he enters his first season because he will be playing at wide receiver instead of at the running back or cornerback positions, where he played in high school.

How is this transition going so far?

“It has been kind of tough,” Landrum said, “[Receivers coach Aubrey Hill] has been helping me out and some of the upperclassmen have been helping me out, so that makes it a lot easier for me.”

Landrum, like Battier and Love, is also considering playing a second sport, but his isbaseball instead of basketball. The Sweetwater, Ala. native, who was listed an honorable mention in USA Today’s baseball All-America team, will evaluate his chances for a spot on the Blue Devil baseball team once the football season ends.

Before any of the freshmen contemplate a second sports season, though, they will be doing their best to adapt to the 100-plus plays that are detailed in Franks’ playbook.

And as far as that transition goes, so far so good.

“Battier is probably ahead of the other two, but they have all progressed very well,” Franks said.

“Jeremy has done very, very well, probably beyond my expectations of him at this point. He has made some big plays during our passing drills and he has shown a lot of athleticism and a lot of quickness.”

Battier and the other freshmen will have their first chance to make big. plays with an opposing defense on the other side of the line tomorrow night.

Center Troy Andrew could be All-ACC, but there’s far more to his story than that

By NORM BRADLEY

Tr°y Andrew

The Chronicle

While many of his fellow students were in New York City or Washington D.C. completing internships, starting center Troy Andrew was getting a different view of Durham—from the passenger’s seat of a squad car.

The two-year starter and All-ACC candidate may be headed to a career in the NFL. But not only does Andrew have a passion for protecting the quarterback—he has a passion for protecting people as well. Following his dream, Andrew signed up for a summer internship in the Durham County Sheriff’s Department, “To the layman, you’d think it is just patrolling and writing tickets and that kind of stuff,” Andrew said. “But I saw a whole other side. I saw dealing with the community, dealing with the kids and prevention [instead of] just strict deterrence.

“I saw another side... that goes along with law enforcement. I also saw another side of Durham I’d never like to see, being from Duke, you are just not

exposed to it.”

The Guam native has always aspired for a career chasing bad guys instead of linebackers. His father, who moved the family to Klein, Texas when Andrew was young, is a reserve deputy sheriff. As a freshman Klein planned to major in criminal justice, but was disappointed to learn that Duke did not offer such a degree.

However, Andrew is perfectly happy with majoring in sociology.

“From talking to my father and other law enforcement officers,” Andrew said, “half of it is being able to communicate well with people and assess probSee ANDREW on page 9

Andrew was rotated through several different jobs within the department, including training, patrol, the DARE program and in schools. He joined officers on several ride-alongs, but he was never put in a life-threatening situation.

“It was pretty exciting,” he said. “I didn’t really see any action, per se. No shootouts. They didn’t even give me a gun.”

blocking assignments for the entire offensive line before the snap.

Adjusting to Franks’ complicated offense was an added challenge last year, but with a year of experience in the system, Andrew expects bigger and better things from an offensive line that gave up 33 sacks last year and saw quarterback Spencer Romine suffer through numerous injuries.

“The stability of the overall program now has real-

ly helped us,” Andrew said. “It wasn’t all that complicated as far as the blocking system, but it was just learning [all the] new terminology.”

The toughness Andrew has shown on the gridiron should translate well into police work. Last year, Andrew sustained significant damage to his right knee in the second game of the season—an injury Texas A&M and Texas passed on him.

“I didn’t really have many big-time programs comthat required surgery after the season. However, Andrew never took himself out the lineup, and rarely ing after me,” he said.

Andrew then decided he wanted to go to a school complained about the painful injury.

Still, the injury affected his play. This year, Andrew expects to return to his previous level ofperformance.

“I’m proud of what I’ve done so far,” Andrew says, “because I’m kind of embarrassed with how I played last year. I don’t think I played at my ability level.”

The Blue Devils’ Airborne offense emphasizes talent in the skill positions, but the decisions that Andrew has to make will determine whether the ball ever gets offthe ground. As the center, Andrew keeps his head down until the ball is snapped instead of looking at his blocking target. He also calls the

that offered excellent academics, and he narrowed his college list to Rice and Duke. While most of his hometown was familiar with Rice, many people there knew almost nothing about the Blue Devil football program.

“They don’t care about anything past LSU in Texas,” Andrew said. “I was at church and people would say, ‘Duke, that’s in upstate New York, right?”’

But despite a 9-35 record during his time at Duke, the fifth-year senior has no regrets.

“It’s been great,” he said. “I’ve seen a lot, I’ve seen a lot that some people don’t see. I’ve seen the 0-11 season from the sidelines, but not actually playing in it. I played early and I played a lot and I think I’m very fortunate for that because I’m going to be a three-year starter. I’m pretty proud of what I’ve done.”

Duke enters season with stable QB situation

Spencer Romine, Bobby Campbell and D. Bryant provide a deep trio for Franks to draw on

By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle Stability. This is not a word that has been associated with Duke football in quite some time. Despite an abysmal preseason ranking and a mountain of negative press, Duke opens its season with the quarterback situation lacking any controversy.

Spencer Romine returns as the starter, with Bobby

Campbell back as the second-string signal caller and D. Bryant waiting in the wings as the quarterback of

the future.

All things considered, it is somewhat remarkable that all three are back and ready to play this season.

Romine had a series of shoulder surgeries during the spring and missed all of spring practice. But he returned during the summer and played well enough to win the job.

“He had a very good offseason and summer,” Campbell said. “He definitely deserves to play.”

While Romine’s offseason performance is good news for the Blue Devils, perhaps the best sign for the coming season is the condition of his shoulder.

“I wasn’t going to come back unless the shoulder was fully recovered,” Romine said. “I feel just as strong, or maybe even stronger than before. Once I had the screw taken out, my strength really shot back up.”

There is some concern in the case of an athlete returning from a serious injury that the fear of reinjury will affect performance.

Romine said that this would not be a factor.

“It’s not one of those things you can worry about,” he said. “I don’t go out saying, We’re playing Florida State, I have a greater likelihood of being hurt.’ That’s negative thinking, and you have to go out there thinking positive.

“That’s what goes with football. Some guys are HUANG/THE CHRONICLE lucky enough to go through it without getting hurt.

NOT KNOWN FOR HIS agility or quick feet, Spencer Romine surprised people by rushing for 43 yards against Georgia Tech, more than I’m not one of those guys.”

I’m a little bit quicker, I’ve got 4.4 speed.”

Campbell is currently Duke’s No. 2 man for reasons not totally related to his physical ability.

“Probably the biggest difference in the two is the knowledge of the offense,” Romine said. “Bobby knows the offense better, that’s why he’s number two.”

There is one other major difference between the two quarterbacks. Campbell is coming to the end of his career, while Bryant is the Blue Devils’ “quarterback of the future.”

In all likelihood, this means that as the season progresses, Bryant will see more and more of the REGAN HSU/THE CHRONICLE reserve time as Franks preD. BRYANT cocks his arm and prepares to throw during Duke’s pares him to start in the practice two days ago.

SPENCER ROMINE completed 25 of his passes against Georgia Tech last season as the Blue Devils nearly pulled off an upset in Wallace Wade.

“That’s only the logical thing for coach to do,” Campbell said. “I understand that you have to plan for the future. He may get snaps early on, I’m fine with that. I just want to see Duke football turn things around and go to

the huddle. I take pride in being a guy who knows what’s going on in the game.”

The comfort all three quarterbacks have in their roles will be a plus for Duke, but perhaps the Blue Devils’ biggest advantage heading into the season is the consistency in the offensive scheme.

‘This is the first year I’ve been in the same offense two seasons in a row,” Romine said. “Being familiar with what guys are able to do, and being able to get in the huddle and have the players have confidence in what you’re doing is a big

Campbell said that one of his most important roles this season will be on the sidelines. Despite not starting, he remains one of the team’s leaders.

Both Bowdens attempt to overlook father-son hype p BOWDENS from page 5

Another factor in the primetime match-up of early November could be the Tigers’ lack of rest going into the game. Clemson does not have its bye week until after Florida State, so they won’t have the luxurious advantage of being able to grab a week ofrest the way the Seminoles do.

However, Clemson fans—and much of the rest of the ACC—are hoping the Tigers improve on last year’s match-up.

With a win, Clemson would have a good chance of an undefeated regular season in Tommy’s second year as coach. Last time Tommy was in his second year coaching a team, he took the Tulane Greenwaves out of nowhere and into

the top 10 with an 11-0 record and a bowl victory.

Tigers fans are now counting on that type of result in Death Valley.

Whether or not a Bowden can go undefeated for a third straight year is yet to be seen, but one thing’s for sure, both father and son care far more about the hype than they will admit. When asked at a July ACC press conference in Hot Springs, Va., if either of them read what the press prints about them, Tommy laughed and nodded across the room at his father.

“That man spends $l,OOO buying them magazines. He reads only good things cause he’s number one in every one of them.”

That may change come Nov. 11.

Weinke brings repeat aspirations back to FSU

Now 28 years old, quarterback Chris Weinke guides an incredibly explosive offense in Tallahassee

By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle It probably goes without saying that when you are the starting quarterback for the defending national champions on a college campus obsessed with football, you will

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

CHRIS WEINKE helped the Seminoles rack up more than 30 points in every game but one last year as Florida State cruised to the national championship.

Good Luck, Blue Devils!

attract a great deal of attention from the opposite sex. Thus, it should come as no surprise that, numerous times last spring, attractive coeds cosied up to Chris Weinke and asked if he would be interested in going out... with their mom.

“This phenom beauty walks up to me at a bar last spring and tells me she’s a big fan,” the 28-year-old Florida State quarterback told ESPN The Magazine. “So I get her a drink.

She tells me she has a boyfriend, but still she keeps talking to me. So I asked her who she came with and she says, Tunny you ask, because my mom over there was wondering if you’re single.’

“It made me feel totally weird.”

Not as weird as playing alongside players born a full decade after him.

To put it simply, Weinke is old. So old that Richard Nixon was still president the year he was born. Or, by comparison, this means Wienke is older than the starting signal caller of ,15 NFL teams.

But when Weinke, who played minor league baseball for six years after high school, decided to return for his senior campaign, it did a lot more

than raise the average age on the FSU campus. It made the Seminoles a favorite to win the national championship again.

“That put us back in the fight,” head coach Bobby Bowden said of Weinke’s decision to return. “I think when Chris Weinke decided to come back you’d have to say, TJh, oh, Florida State’s a contender again.’ That’s what he does for us.”

Weinke’s numbers are impressive.

In route to going undefeated and winning the Sears Trophy, Weinke threw four 3,103 yards, led the ACC with 282.1 yards per game, and was fifth in the country with a quarterback rating of 145.1.

Weinke has another interesting statistical distinction: He is the only quarterback to start for three years under Bowden. The result is that if he stays healthy this season, he could rewrite the Florida State record book.

These numbers, however, have to stand up to the criticism that they should have an asterisk, given that Weinke is old enough to compete against players a decade younger than him this season.

“The way I look at it is, I took seven years off of football,” Weinke said.

“How is that an advantage. I’m older, but when you were playing football, I was playing baseball. So I came back a 24-year-old that hadn’t touched a football in seven years.... I wouldn’t See

be the starting quarterback if Dan Kendra didn’t get hurt.”

Anyone who doubts Weinke’s statement that the starting job was never guaranteed clearly missed the N.C State game in 1998. Weinke threw five interceptions, one of the major factors in Florida State’s surprising 24-7 loss to the Wolfpack.

It was after that game that Weinke learned what football means in Tallahassee.

“I go home and there were 160 emails and 30 phone messages all saying, ‘what happened, what happened?”’ he said. “Let me tell you what happened, I was terrible. That was it, and that’s probably the biggest learning tool for me in terms of why I have been successful. Because I realized on that day that I had to become better, that I needed to be more consistent....

“I didn’t throw another interception that year.”

Weeks later, Weinke’s season, and nearly his career, were ended when he ruptured a disk in the ‘Noles contest against Virginia.

“I didn’t find out until the Monday after I had my MRI and X-ray how serious it was,” he said. “The doctor said, ‘You’re a centimeter away from being paralyzed from the neck down.’

The neck injury required surgery and a substantial amount of rehab, but Weinke made a full recovery, and led the Seminoles to the national title.

The frightening thing for opponents is that Weinke is in much better shape this season.

Through an intense offseason conditioning program, he lost 18 pounds to cut'his playing weight down from 245. “[I lost the weight] just to get quicker and more

mobile, and that in turn would help my whole game,” Weinke said. “Any time you can move around better or you’re a little bit quicker, it’s only going to help you as a quarterback.

Having overcome the mental mistakes of his first year and having put himself in the best shape of his career, Weinke returns as a leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy.

But Weinke claims that the most-coveted individual award in college football is not on his mind.

“I haven’t thought about it,” he said. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world to even have my name mentioned for it. It would be a great h0n0r.... I’ve thought about being successful each and every Saturday, and then when it’s all said and done, it’d be an honor for me to even be one of the finalists to be up there.”

A couple years back, Ronald Curry was preferred over neighborhood competitor Michael Vick

UNC MEDIA RELATIONS

By RAY HOLLOMAN The Chronicle

You know all the reasons why Ronald Curry’s never going to make it.

You know the anemic three passing touchdowns and barely 100 yards per game in the air, the 10 picks he threw in just six games last season, the disgusting 3-8 record the Tar Heels— Ronald Curry’s Tar Heels—put up last season, never mind that it wasn’t his fault.

You know the brash attitude, the mouth rumbling and flairing like a Harley—the same mouth that told Virginia yes then told Virginia no, the same mouth that made him public enemy No. 1 in an entire state.

You know everything about him and you know exactly why his MVP career is DOA. But the truth is, you don’t

know the first thing about Ronald Curry.

You don’t know about the operating table in the offseason, the cold surgeons standing around with cold instruments and delicately trying to reconstruct a shredded right Achilles’.

To you they were just ors, to Ronald Curry

they might as well have been the Greek fates, scissors perched on the thin tissue of his Achilles, one clip in the wrong place and they wouldn’t have just cut the tendon of his foot, they would’ve cut his lifeline.

There were days after the surgery when Ronald Curry really got to know what it was to hurt. He thought he knew pain on the football field, but Ron Curry got to know he hadn’t ever seen pain.

“After the surgery,” he says, “I was about to die.”

But you didn’t know that.

You probably didn’t care.

But you were supposed to.

It was his name you supposed to know, not the other neighborhood kid from Hampton who went on to sign with a local school, just some local school, while Curry flirted with the Cavaliers and FSU and eventually signed with the bright lights ofNorth Carolina.

When everybody stillknew Michael Vick as, “Ookie,” Curry was already The Man. C-U-R-R-Y, Ronald, Ron if you prefer but never to his face, that was the name you were gonna know. It was his Sugar Bowl, his face staring out at you from the newsstands asking to bring the world on, because he hadn’t seen nothing yet. It was his national championship shot, his Heisman.

In short, it was his world.

He beat high-flying L.A. Clipper Corey Maggette in basketball, he bested Vick in football.

And in two short years, it all might

Ronald

just as well have added Babe the Blue

Ox to his high school stories, because everbody knew damned well that the Ronald Curry of Hampton High School never existed.

His world crumbled. That you know.

Fully recovered from injury, Curry has big-impact potential V CURRY from page 18 He debuted as a true freshman, a rarity among quarterbacks. He started the season fifth on the depth chart of a top 25 team coming off a fifth straight bowl game. When the Tar Heels reached their seventh, Curry was No. 1.

An injury to starter Oscar Davenport pushed him into the spotlight, 304 passing yards against Stanford stole it, and a 74 yards rushing exhibition against Georgia Tech

made it his.

For good measure, he took the Most Valuable Offensive Player award in Carolina’s 20-13 Las Vegas Bowl win over San Diego State, just in case you forgot who was running the show.

“Oscar got hurt,” Curry says, “I saw that as an opportunity. Just getting on the field was an accomplishment for me.”

As a sophomore, it wasn’t just the team that was his, it was the field.

Nobody could stop Curry, but as injuries popped up like a sudden summer thunderstorm, everybody had a

little better shot.

When it started with Brandon Spoon, the first-team All-ACC linebacker that even Dick Butkus himself would have trouble bringing down, the Tar Heels should’ve known they were in for a long season.

Players dropped on all sides for the Tar Heels, but Curry kept moving along.

The system was new and his supporting cast kept changing. He made bad reads, tossed his share of interceptions and lost a little of the goldenboy luster.

But when you get down to it, he kept up the same impossible numbers.

Even after his season ended in the fifth game, less than halfway through the season, he still led the UNC offense in total yards with 904. The next closest players? They only put up 838 yards—combined.

Florida State defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews called him a “soupedup motorcycle,” but he missed the analogy, in college football, Ronald Curry is a lethal weapon.

“He really he was the best I’ve seen [in recruiting],” Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said. “I mean punt returns, kickoff returns, run the ball,

throw the ball. As soon as Curry can get the supporting cast Vick has— Vick had a tremendous supporting cast last year. Number one—what would he do? I think pretty much the same thing.”

Fully recovered from the surgery, and maybe even stronger, it’s all back to square one—hitting the field and getting the job done.

“The first game will be the test,” AllACC linebacker and teammate Brandon Spoon told Sports Illustrated. “But even if Ronald is only halfway healthy, he can do things other people can't.”

Like make you believe that he’s not a flash-in-the-pan high school coulda been story, that he’s not just a running back with a low number and make you believe that junior Ron Curry’s career is still all about promise.

Yeah, you know all the reasons Ronald Curry’s never going to make it.

Now come up with a real one.

RONALD CURRY spirals a pass for the Tar Heels last season. Curry missed most of the season with a severe injury to his Achilles’ tendon.

Heisman candidate returned to practice last week After sitting out the summer to focus on his eligibility, LaMont Jordan may strike the pose

By HAROLD GUTMANN The Chronicle Football fans at College Park have

not had much to cheer about since 1990, the last time the Terrapins made a bowl game. But the emergence of running back LaMont Jordan, whose 1,632 rushing yards last season was the third-best performance ever in the ACC, gave even the most weary Terps fans a reason to cheer.

Jordan had a number of big games last year; four touchdowns against Clemson, a 9.5 yard per carry average against Duke (24 rushes for 227 yards), and 306 yards rushing in the season finale against Virginia.

As performances like these began to pile up, it didn’t take long for the Maryland faithful to begin entertaining the possibility of a Heisman trophy awaiting their new star in his

senior season.

But, like any long-suffering fan who suddenly finds hope, the Terrapin faithful soon became delirious —perhaps a little too soon. Heisman trophy quickly became small potatoes around

KERRY GARLAND/THE CHRONICLE

LAMONT JORDAN breaks through a hole in the Duke defense as Blue Devils Josh Kreider and Lamar Grant, lying on the ground, try to bring him down. Jordan rushed for 227 yards that day.

College Park.

After all, Jordan’s 3227 rushing yards make him college football’s leading returning rusher. With 1,376 yards Jordan would become the leading rusher in ACC history, and 1,773 yards would put the back over the 5,000-yard mark, a distinction achieved only eight times in NCAA history. Yet it wouldn’t be Maryland football without the possibility of heartbreak.

Jordan missed all of spring practice and the beginning of fall workouts focusing on academics. Many began to speculate that the unanimous preseason first-team All-American, who needs just 91 yards to become Maryland’s all-time leading rusher, would never even reach that record.

But Jordan was able to complete his summer classes last Friday and he appeared on the practice field that same day to announce his intention to start the season.

Tve been counting the days,” he said before his first practice. “It’s been 10 months and five days since I last put on the pads. That’s what I’m really looking forward to, is getting into full gear and getting into contact.”

Maryland coach Ron Vanderlinden was also very much relieved to see his

star running back make the grade.

“We are pleased LaMont has successfully finished all his academic requirements and will be a part of our team this season,” he said. “He has taken another step closer to earning his degree, which is important to all of us.”

What’s also important is that in a rare stroke of luck, Maryland receives a bye the first week of the season and doesn’t play a game until Sept. 9 against Temple.

With the exception of Jordan himself, no one was more excited to finally see the senior in uniform than Vanderlinden, who can now confirm his offense with definite assurance.

“LaMont has the three qualities you look for in a great back,” he said.

“Speed to go the distance, agility to make defenders miss and size and strength to finish a run.”

Jordan re-arranged record books in ’99, eyes Bowl game in 2000 JORDAN from page 20 In fact, the biggest obstacle for Jordan to overcome in his bid for post-season awards has little to do with his own play, but rather with the mediocrity surrounding him. Surprisingly, in Jordan’s biggest games against Clemson, Duke, and Virginia last year, the team still managed to lose all three.

“As far as anything to do with the Heisman trophy,” Jordan said, “my first priority is absolutely to go out and put the team in its best position to win foot-

ball games.”

Also hurting Jordan’s chances is the team’s lack of public visibility. The Terrapins play only one nationally televised game, a Thursday night game against No. 2 Florida State, a team the Terrapins lost 49-10 last season despite Jordan’s 169 yards on 27 carries.

In order for Jordan to be seen more than once by

iflfOW

audiences on the West Coast, his team must make a bowl game for the first time in 10 years. But Jordan, who managed to gain more yards on the ground against the Seminoles than nine whole teams did last year, welcomes the challenge.

“Anything less than a winning season is not acceptable,” he said. “We beat some teams last year that I don’t think we’ve beaten in years. What we have to do is play football and win games. Only then will we celebrate. Our main focus is to go to a bowl game.”

Maryland’s last two bowl appearances may seem almost comical now: a Dec. 21 Cherry Bowl appearance in 1985 and a Dec. 15 Poulin WeedEater Independence Bowl game in 1990.

But Terps fan would gladly laugh their way to the postseason this year, with Jordan re-arranging the record books in the process.

Defensive stud Adams shoulders more than his share Linebacker Keith Adams of Clemson carried a beleaguered Tigers defense in ’99 as he led the nation in tackles Adams’ emergence as a role model for the team is more of a sign ofhis leadership off the field than on the First team All-America selection. ACC Defensive field, where he’s already proven himself.

His coach, Tommy Bowden, actually hopes for less Player of the Year. One-hundred-eighty-six tackles, leading not only the conference, but the entire nation. from his star linebacker.

“It’s not like he’s jumping out there with a bunch And that was just his sophomore year.

So what’s next for Clemson linebacker Keith Adams? of guys to help alleviate the burden,” Bowden said.

“My main concern and my main goal in life,” he “He carries too much of the burden himself. He shouldn’t have those good statistics. We pay the said, “is to be the greatest person I can be.”

That’s a theme Adams likes to talk about—not only other guys something in scholarships. A guy shouldbeing a good football player, but being a good person at n’t have that many tackles. Somebody else is not doing their job.” the same time.

Yet that says more about the rest of Clemson’s “A lot of people trash-talk and stuff like that. I like defense than Adams himself, who Bowden describes as trash-talk, but I don’t use profanity or anything out know that “intense, very intense.” that. I just go and play the game. I just “Football is a game of intensity, it’s a game of it’s through God that I’m out there doing the things emotion, it’s a game of enthusiasm,” Bowden said.

I’m doing and I’m just happy with that.”

“The more guys you get playing like that, the more success you’re going to have. I don’t have everybody on defense who plays that way.

He brings that to the table.

You say, ‘Hey, look at that guy. Do it like him. Play like him practice like him.’ He brings a lot more to the table than statistics.”

But those statistics stick out.

Last year, Adams set 10 new records for Clemson, including 16 sacks in his season.

Two of those records were set against Duke, when Adams sacked Blue Devil quarterbacks four times and recorded six tackles for a loss. The sophomore racked up 17 tackles alone against Florida State, a fact not lost by FSU quarterback Chris Weinke.

“Keith is one of those guys that find away to get to the football,” Weinke said.

“They’ve got a dangerous defense and it’s something we’re going to deal with. He’s a guy that’s going to blitz from every position. He’s a guy that’s quick enough to be out there in coverage and cover our guys and yet he’s tough enough to come up there and stop the run up the middle.

He’s got all the intangibles to be one of the best linebackers in college football.”

his father’s footsteps and head to the NFL. His father, Julius, played for 15 years as a defensive lineman for the Boston/New England Patriots organization.

But for this season, Adams, having already made a comfortable spot for himself in the Clemson record books, doesn’t hope to let up the attack. As a small linebacker at 5-foot-ll and 220 pounds, Adams isn’t the most intimidating person in college football until you find yourself on the receiving end of one of his sacks.

“Right now, I’m just a mellow, laid-back humble type of guy,” he said as he leaned back and smiled to the media. “When I’m on the field, you know, you have to have a little arrogance to yourself. When you’re on the field, just go out and play wild.”

Amid the chaotic backdrop of rumpled, fallen quarterbacks and offensive strategies gone awry, Adams sees himself as the starring villain.

“It’s a whole role, you know. You have to have that whole role, coming in there being the dominant force. I look at linebacking as being dominant, someone you want the offense to fear. You want the running back to be like, ‘Oh, man, I can’t let Keith hit me again.”

Judging by the number of times he was in the backfield last season, running backs can expect to be hit, and hit often, by Keith.

Captains tell team it needs to expect to win every game BLUE DEVILS from page 4 an quarterback thought about how to address last year’s problem and then he put it in writing.

Before the Blue Devils reconvened for summer workouts, every player received four letters, one from each of the captains.

The message behind Romine’s letter was simple; Duke has shown it’s as good as other teams the last couple seasons, it just hasn’t shown it can beat those teams.

The time to start doing that is now.

P

“Why not us?” he challenged his

teammates. “When we get into close ball

games, why can’t we win? It’s gotta be somebody so why not us?”

Much like college analysts around the conference have done all summer, a few of you are probably snickering right now after coming up with a few reasons of your own.

There’s the string of five consecutive losing seasons, not to mention the fact that Romine and the other fifth-year seniors have only been a part of nine wins in four years. There’s the depleted defense and an

offense that was unable to run the ball or protect its quarterbacks last season.

Franks as much as admitted that everything that’s happened in the recent past indicates that the naysayers are right. Right now, however, Duke is out to prove that history doesn’t have to repeat itself.

“If you look at it on paper and you are guys that aren’t actively involved with each team, well I can understand how those picks worked out,” Franks said. “But what do you do with those things? What do you do with them once they’re done?

They’re something for everybody to talk

about for a while. Hopefully we can end up talking about how that isn’t the way it worked out and you all weren’t right.”

Franks and the Blue Devils aren’t hoping for the longest of long-shots, considering these same journalists picked Clemson to finish next-to-last a year ago.

It was nearly 14 months ago when Tigers coach Tommy Bowden managed a straight face as he told the media that it would be practically impossible for his Tigers to improve upon their 3-8 finish.

With Duke’s coach preaching the same message to the same choir members this season, it’s now up to his players to reverse their previous fortunes and make the pundits once again look like, well, pundits.

“We’re tired of getting kicked around,” fifth-year center and captain Troy Andrew said. “We just have to come out every year and show them we’re playing for ourselves. And when everybody picks us last, we don’t play for you guys, we play for us. We’re just getting closer and closer and tighter and tighter.

It’s us against the world basically and if that’s the way it’s gotta be, then that’s the way it’s gotta be.”

There’s no doubt in the minds of every Blue Devil that they can come together and be the thorn that sticks into the side of the rest of the teams around the conKYLE MOORE is going to be one of the go-to guys on offense as he returns with the most experiference.
