Clinton urges peace at U.N. summit Before 149 world leaders, the president discussed intervention in civil wars

By DAVID SANGER

N.Y. Times News Service

UNITED NATIONS President Bill Clinton opened the summit meeting ofworld leaders at the United Nations Wednesday, urging the huge gathering to prepare the institution for a new age in which

international forces will have to

reach regularly and rapidly inside

national boundaries to protect threatened people.

With his own time in the front rank ofthe 149 world leaders gathered here drawing to an end, Clinton also used the moment to try to settle some of the disputes that have dogged his presidency, from

the Middle East to Russia to Southeast Asia.

The president met separately into the evening with Prime Minister Ehud Barak of Israel and then with the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, in hopes of picking up the broken pieces of the peace agreement that came tantalizingly close at Camp David in July. Clinton warned that “like all life’s chances,” the moment for an accord “is fleeting and about to pass.”

And he sparred anew with Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, who is using the gathering here to propose a ban on military uses of space, another effort to terminate

U.S. efforts to develop a national missile defense. Clinton’s aides gave Putin a summary ofU.S. intelligence gathered during the Kursk

submarine disaster, which suggests that Putin’s own naval forces may have misled him in the days after the accident.

Clinton was deliberately vague on the question ofwhen the United Nations should step into civil wars or ethnic and religious disputes—an argument that has come up repeatedly during his presidency.

‘These conflicts present us with a stark challenge,” he said. “Are they part of the scourge the UN. was esSee UNITED NATIONS on page 9

New Gore plan stresses middle class

By KATHARINE SEELYE N.Y. Times News Service

CLEVELAND Unveiling a book-length plan that hinges on optimistic fiscal forecasts, Vice President A1 Gore offered his economic vision for the future Wednesday, painting an image of a prosperous middle class that enjoys higher income, with more home ownership, more high-tech jobs and more people going to college.

“My cause is hard-working, middle-class families,” he asserted at the beginning of his speech Wednesday here at Cleveland State University.

In his speech, Gore outlined a series of social and economic goals that he said were attainable given the nation’s current prosperity, and he presented a moun-

tain of supportable detail that his campaign hopes will make Gov. George W. Bush’s financial plan pale by comparison.

The speech reflected a shift in language and approach for Gore, who has supplanted the “working families” he courted so assiduously during the Democratic National Convention last month with “middleclass” families.

“The Gore-Lieberman economic plan has one guiding purpose: to help the middle-class families who have always been America’s purpose and pride, the people who pay the taxes, bear the burdens and live the American dream,” Gore said.

Since dozens of online class note-publishing companies invaded the Internet a little over a year ago, the academic world—and even one state govern-

ment—have taken measures to fight back. But because many professors are split on the issue, the responses have varied in intensity.

At Yale University, undergraduates may not “represent any commercial interest” without permission, and the school was forced to take action late last year against versity.com, a company that paid students for their lecture notes.

“We attacked [versity.com] in March of this year...” said Tom Violante, assistant director for institutional issues at Yale College. “We issued a statement which said Yale was objecting to what they were doing. They complied and took down the Yale notes.”

Duke, too, issued a policy on intellectual property rights late last year fol-

lowing versity.com’s activity on campus.

The policy, which was approved by the Academic Council in May, reads, “Notes in a course shall no! taken or disseminated for c< mercial purposes unless proved by the instructor.”

Although some schools h taken a more hard-line proach in one form or anoti students at Duke still have option to take notes with a fessor’s approval.

“At this point, any facu member who does not want' sort of thing to be done in h her class has at least implii the right to forbid it,” said ' fessor of Classical Studies P< Burian, chair of the Acade Council. “If the University h; [stricter] policy... students w< be by the very nature [of

model didn’t really compliment ours,” said Heidi van Vliet, associate manager of public relations for studentadvantage.com. “We do need to protect our university relationships because we work very closely with many of them. Versity.com historically has not worked in conjunction with universities.” The deal to buy CollegeClub.com’s assets will not be completed for about eight weeks.

Lisa Wayne, a spokesperson for www.versity.collegeclub.com, said the company is in the process of reevaluating its options. ‘We may find away to keep it and integrate it,” Wayne said.

is awaiting judgment from Democrat Governor Gray Davis.

Euguene Volokh, professor of law at UCLA, said, “Many kinds of commercial note-taking may alrea4y be prohibited by federal copyright law; this state law might thus be unnecessary. Also, because copyright law is a federal statute, it might preempt state laws like this one, which seem to conflict with the federal copyright scheme.” He added that A.B. 1773 may also be unintentionally overbroad, perhaps prohibiting newspapers from reporting on what professors said in a particular class.

Continental, Honeywell CEOs discuss their turnarounds Jeff Greenfield moderated a chat between corporate executives Gordon Bethune and Michael Bonsignore yesterday in Reynolds

By LUCINDA FICKEL The Chronicle

Last night, Fuqua Business School students got lessons in leadership from

two of corporate America’s top CEOs. In a taping of the PBS television program “CEO Exchange” held in the Bryan Center’s Reynolds Theater, Gordon Bethune of Continental Airlines and Michael Bonsignore of Honeywell International fielded questions from CNN senior analyst and moderator Jeff Greenfield. The episode is scheduled to air in mid-November.

The executives described their efforts to successfully steer their businesses through times of financial and managerial crisis. They detailed the turnaround both companies have experienced and addressed issues currently facing both corporations before answering questions from Fuqua faculty and a handful of the approximately 300 audience members.

Both Bethune and Bonsignore assumed their leadership roles at a time when “they received not congratulations, but condolences of ‘Our thoughts are with you in your time of need,”’ Greenfield said.

Bethune left a management position at Boeing to head a Continental corporation ranked last among major airlines in customer satisfaction and fending off its third wave of bankruptcy.

“You had no morale, no cash reserves, and customers who would rather take a bus than fly Continental,” Greenfield reminded Bethune.

“It was appalling. I thought, ‘I must have been brain damaged to ever take this job,’” Bethune said.

Six years after Bethune took the helm, Continental has improved both in terms of profitability and customer satisfaction.

“We started using the customer’s definition of success,” Bethune said. “They don’t care about the interest rate on the airplane... They care about getting to Houston on time with their underwear.”

This focus on customers was combined with morale-boosting incentives for employees geared toward changing Continental’s reputation and improving performance. Bethune avoided changes suggested by shareholders such as scrapping the company’s name.

“Changing the name is like putting icing on a crummy cake. You have to change the whole cake,” Bethune said.

After 25 years at Honeywell, Bonsignore also inherited a struggling company when he became CEO in 1993.

“It needed a good kick in the pants,” Bonsignore said of the manufacturer of automated controls, aircraft systems and specialty chemicals.

For the 108-year-old company, “that kind of confrontation was unusual,” Bonsignore said.

His aggressiveness recently led to the company’s highly touted merger with Allied Signal. In the aftermath ofthe merger, Bonsignore and Honeywell have faced a series of challenges, including layoffs of 11,000 employees and moving company headquarters from Minnesota to New Jersey. This summer, the company’s sec-

“They were very unhappy, and they have away of showing it,” said Bonsignore. “I paid a lot of personal and political capital for that.”

Bethune also addressed some of the trials facing his corporation and the air-

line industry, including this summer’s crowded airports and rampant passenger dissatisfaction,.

“I think we need to effectively use technology to use the runways we do have better,” Bethune said. “It’s the government’s job to figure out how to give its citizens access to their cities.”

Orientation prepares students socially, not academically Students enjoyed this year’s brand of alcohol education, which was lead by students, instead of administrators B u t orientation into life at Duke is not w jthout some seriousness. Forums on the University’s alcohol policies have played a prominent role in recent orientations. Sophomore Adam Laughton, a resident advisor on East Campus, compared this year’s alcohol discussion with last year’s, and was pleased with the changes that were made, ‘The way they had it set up with the student-led forum [this year]... was better than [conducting it] from an admin-

onic.e Orientation week may be over, but after two weeks of classes, freshmen are just now starting to reflect on their hec-

tic first week.

Administrators design orientation to focus on two parts of academic life—instilling a sense of personal integrity and creating a strong relationship between first-year students.

“We very much want to integrate first-year students into this tradition 0f... academic integrity as well as personal integrity,” said Dean of Student Development Barbara Baker, who added that through pre-major advisors, orientation is designed to prepare students for the academic rigors that lie ahead.

Most freshmen said the orientation process was, above all, a good way to meet people and an opportunity to build firm foundation for their social lives at Duke.

But many also said the week did not give their academic careers the same solid base.

“I didn’t realize... how different the course load is from high school,” said junior Risen Nathu, adding that he did not feel orientation prepared him academically.

Others agreed, but said it would be nearly impossible to give students an adequate idea of what awaits them in the classroom, “I don’t remember there being much of an academic element to orientation,”

istrative perspective,” Laughton said, Although many students said the discussions were helpful, most said

the talks only reassured them about an alcohol policy with which they felt confident even before they arrived at the University.

Some, though, were not aware of the policy before the orientation meetings, “I was surprised to find out they were that strict,” sophomore Chris Chandler said. “I didn’t know East [Campus] was dry.”

Despite its academic shortcomings, students say they have been pleased

with the social opportunities orientation provides.

Hunt: Teachers’ children should get free college tuition a court challenge, since searches could be conducted without just cause.

Julia Shovelin, an attorney for the school board, defended the policy, telling the Associated Press that because parking on school property is a privilege, not a right, it is legal to conduct searches ofvehicles parked on school grounds.

On Tuesday, Gov. Jim Hunt proposed an added incentive designed to attract and hold onto public school teachers—let their children attend state universities for free.

Hunt presented the idea to a gathering of education officials in Durham, saying it was only a “suggestion.”

The idea is similar to a University policy that pays an amount equal to the cost of 75 percent of Duke tuition toward the schooling of longtime University employees’ VT p •i i •U'»� 3 children enrolled in four-year un.

Tmc Wrui/

TT-CiH/IV Molly Broad, president of the University of North Carolina System, told the Associated Press this week that Hunt’s plan was a “magnificent idea,” but said the state should research the proposal further, since there might be groups of state workers other than public school teachers who would also want to be eligible for free tuition.

The plan would cost the state millions of dollars and would likely need to be approved by the N.C. State Legislature as well as the UNC Board of Governors.

Jorge Batlle, joined by more than two dozen business executives from Uruguay, also met with Hunt and Broad.

In his campaign last year, Batlle promised to increase Uruguayan exports while attracting more foreign investors. “If we can develop strong links to North Carolina, it can be very helpful to Uruguay’s development,” he said at a news conference Tuesday.

the rebuilding effort after Hurricane Floyd might not help the historic town of Princevilie, N.C. survive future disasters of a similar magnitude.

Duane Kratzer, who is running against incumbent Eva Clayton for the First District representative seat, said Princevilie should be “bulldozed and relocated” if the elevation of the dike protecting the town from the Tar River is not increased and homes are not rebuilt on higher ground.

Kratzer said the current rebuilding effort would not survive high water. But Interim City Manager Jack Bond disagreed, saying the repaired dike would now protect the town from a 500-year flood.

Bond added that Princevilie has better flood protection than most towns in a 500-year flood plain.

the tire problems has not been determined. “However, you have my word that we will continue until we find the

cause,” he said.

In May the NHTSA began investigating accidents in which Firestone tires suddenly lost their tread or suffered blowouts. Many cases involved Ford Explorers rolling over.

Ford CEO Jacques Nasser, in prepared testimony before the House Commerce Committee’s oversight and investigations panel, said his company’s vehicles are safe. “This is a tire issue, not a vehicle issue,” he said, repeating the company’s mantra.

“We have millions of Goodyear tires on 1995 through 1997 Explorers—the same specification tire operating under

the same conditions—and they haven’t experienced these problems,” he said.

But NHTSA Administrator Sue Bailey said many of the accidents were caused by a combination of flawed Firestone tires and characteristics of the Ford Explorer, which like other sport utility vehicles has a higher cen-

ter of gravity and is more apt than a car to roll over. It “clearly is a combination of situations that produced the outcome,” she said.

Bridgestone/Firestone is recalling 6.5 million tires: the P235/75R15-size ATX and ATX II models, as well as similarly sized Wilderness AT tires. Most of the tires were made at its plant in

Decatur, 111.

Last week, NHTSA issued a warning about the safety of 1.4 million ad-

ditional tires. Bridgestone/Firestone continues to insist there is no reason to expand the recall to include those tires. Also last week, Venezuela’s consumer protection agency recommended that Ford and Firestone be held criminally responsible for 46 deaths in that country due to faulty tires,

The internal Bridgestone/Firestone marked “confidential” showed that more than half the property damage and injury claims the company received from 1997 to 1999 were for the kind of ATX II tires that are now under recall. documents

Senior Richard Pearsall, BSA’s vice president for academic affairs and vice president of the NAACP, added that attention to academics would be high on BSA’s priority list. He wants to “ensure that along with African-American Mentoring Program, under- and upperclassmen have access to academic resources like the academic deans and the academic skills center.”

Black—who also serves as the BSA’s political action committee chair—said membership is always a priority, but having an active NAACP chapter makes recruitment easier. Currently, the Duke chapter has a total of about 30 active members, with 60 to 80 dues paying members.

Black said she will focus on increasing voter awareness and education on campus.

On the other hand, the more things change, the more they stay the same. DSG President Jordan Bazinsky, a senior, said, “The election is going to be run like it’s always been.”

After all, legislative election votes were tallied by Scantron last year, as they will be today. And as usual, the candidates from Trent Dormitory and Central Campus are running uncontested.

At first, DSG election officials planned not to poll Central Campus residents because the races were already effectively decided. But late last night, they changed their minds, and will allow all students to vote.

back of the huge hall, Khatami declared that in coming years the world could no longer be ruled by “monopolies of power and capital,” a clear reference to the United States.

It was one of many expressions of frustration about America’s global economic and military power that emerged as a subtext of the gathering.

Shortly after Clinton spoke of the need to intervene strongly when a nation’s leaders abuse their own people, the president of China, Jiang Zemin, described a very different concept of how the world should operate. “Respect for each other’s independence and sovereignty is vital to the maintenance of world peace,” he said.

Striking a theme often heard from Chinese leaders who fear that intervention in Kosovo or East Timor could provide the precedent for one day interven-

ing in Tibet or Taiwan, Jiang added: “Dialogue and cooperation in the field of

human rights must be conducted on the basis of respect for state sovereignty.

Without sovereignty, there will be no human rights to speak of.”

Perhaps because of the growing suspicions about America’s use of that

power—or perhaps because of the constant conflict between the United Nations and Washington over the payment of dues to the organization—Clinton did not receive the kind of standing ovation that greeted him in 1998.

During his speech, the president made an oblique reference to Washington’s $1.7 billion in back dues to the United Nations, saying that as the organization expands its missions, “all these things come with a price tag, and all nations, including the United States, must pay it.”

The Chronicle Established 1905, Incorporated 1993

Debate deflation Gov. Bush’s weak debate proposal is an attempt to keep the debates away from the people

Twelve

years ago, the bi-partisan commission on presidential debates was created with the purpose of taking the politics out of the debate organizing process.

The commission also set a goal of making the debates available to as many people as possible. In 1992, one of the debates was viewed by over 90 million people. This year all of the major networks, as well as a few cable stations, have signed on to televise the four, 90-minute debates.

Since the commission’s creation, candidates on both sides of the isle have attempted to tinker with the debate formats to get some kind of upper hand.

And then, there is the Gov. George W. Bush’s alternative debate plan. Rather than agree to the commission’s proposal, Bush has proposed having two of the three proposed debates take place in television studios—one on NBC’s “Meet the Press” with Tim Russert and another on CNN’s “Larry King Live.” These debates would be only 60 minutes in length and would appear only on NBC or CNN—a cable network. The other networks have refused to carry these programs—and one can hardly expect them to do so.

Bush’s suggestion Would deprive millions ofAmerican people a chance to see the two candidates debate. First, viewers will be less likely to tune in when debates are paired against primetime programming. Second, cutting even one hour of debate time limits the number of topics that will be discussed. Third, broadcasting a debate on a cable network goes against the spirit of a presidential debate, as it limits access to only those who can afford cable service.

It is not a crime to disagree with the debate commission’s decision, but without a doubt, Bush’s plan denies a vast number ofAmerican people the chance to see the candidates debate. The presidential race, which has tightened in the past two weeks and has become overwhelmingly issue-oriented, could be greatly affected by the presidential debates. To exclude millions ofAmericans from these debates borders on arrogant.

What is more disturbing is the politicizing ofthese debates. Vice President A1 Gore has said that he would do any extra debates that Bush wanted, but only if Bush would agree to the decision of the debate commission. Bush asserts that Gore is trying to duck debating him. This claim is silly. Gore wants to hold the debates so that as many people as possible can watch; Bush seems to be trying to dodge the American people.

Bush insists that having these other formats would be beneficial to the American people, but this defense is not valid. If formats are his concern, Bush ought to request that one or two of the commission debates be moderated by Larry King or Tim Russert; he could even request that a talk show format be used.

There is no good reason that fewer people should have the chance to see the presidential debates. In the interest of democracy, the candidates should find away to debate that lets all Americans see this part of our great democratic process.

Nuking Colombia The United States should drop nuclear weapons on countries that violate human rights —it’s easier Rant,

and

squaredance Maureen McClamon I’ve had this incredible brainstorm: The United States should nuke Colombia.

Now, I don’t mean a really large bomb, but more along the lines of what was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We’d need a bomb that can thoroughly destroy the area without causing so much environmental damage via fallout and residual radiation that the United States will be endangered.

Fm a very no-nukes kind ofperson—fervently so, in fact. When I was a kid, I lived in absolute terror of a nuclear war— well, those and tornados.

I realize that many of The Chronicle’s readers are too young to remember life prior to the destruction of the Berlin Wall, so this probably sounds a bit weird to you. That whole Cold War thing was really horrifying to think about, and it shaped a lot of popular culture—from movies like The Day After and the original Terminator to punk rock music from all countries. The Dead Kennedys had a song celebrating the neutron bomb for killing people but leaving buildings intact—“Kill the Poor.”

ing and sizing, so that villages will be destroyed, rather than left suffering from radiation sickness. At present, people have to be slaughtered by hand, which means watching one’s loved ones die—sometimes quite agonizing deaths—and having to witness or experience rape as a tool of war, among other unpleasantries. This is the current state of affairs for Colombian villagers, the ones the United States is

supposedly so concerned about.

Drugs are bad, see, so President Clinton’s giving the Colombian government a big wad of military aid to bring down the Marxist rebels—who are tied to the drug trade. But the Colombian government can only have

That whole Cold War thing was really horrifying to think about....

Why is it humane? Well, a nuclear bomb can vaporize people without much suffering to those at the epicenter—this would require careful target-

Unless, that is, the aid is a matter of national security—which Congress has already decided it is—via the waiver that allowed Clinton to give the first hunk of change in spite of the government’s lack of compliance. This doesn’t give me confidence: We’ve seen

how well the United States has dealt with China’s human rights abuses—-

and what about our own violations?

Wen Ho Lee has been in prison for months—not just any prison, mind you, but solitary confinement—with one hour out in the yard per day. And even for that hour his hands and feet are shackled together. For cripe’s sake, the man is a 60-year-old scientist, not

non-military courts for human rights violations. Naturally the military isn’t going to

give any of that money—or arms and other supplies—to the right-wing paramilitary groups that do a great deal ofharm to the Colombian people, with the tacit consent—and even aid—of the U.S. Military.

Hmmm... where have we seen that before?

citizens it will look as if something is being done about the “drug problem.”

Just remember: The government needs to keep a portion of the polity strungout, because that allows them to ignore an entire chunk of impoverished, unemployed people. And as George Orwell and Aldus Huxley promised, drugs keep people from complaining and trying to improve their situation.

Before I let you go, I do have one more gem to share: Once South Square closes its doors due to Southpoint’s arrival, Duke should raze it to the ground and turn it into RT parking—just a thought.

On some days, I wish Eminem would fulfill his mission. But on most days, I just wonder what happened to rock n’ roll music.

For a true rock n’ roll fan the current music scene titters between the abysmal and the pathetic. A few true stalwarts of rock like Metallica, the Stones, REM, U2 and Aerosmith remain standing. Some of the old legends like Bruce Springsteen also pop up from time to time and give us a tour.

Yet, sadly, they are only an oasis in the desert of shallow tunes that still aren’t much better than the one that started it all—Hansen’s notorious “Mmm-Bop.” I know, we’ve always had the groups who, as Chris Rock says, “sold albums like heroin —everyone’s buying but no one’s admitting it.” From N’Sync to New Kids on the Block to The Monkees there will always be some generic version of “Bye, Bye, Bye” playing on the radio.

But never before has such music dominated the radio waves. And that’s the real tragedy.

I personally have nothing against Britney, Christina, JC, Joey, Lance, Chris and Justin regardless of their cookie-cutter personalities; in fact I particularly admire Britney’s “chest-first” approach to life.

Honey, if you paid good money for them, flaunt them!

After all, the fans are buying the albums, the valueless songs knock bands that make real music off record labels are racking in the dollars and the perthe charts. formers are enjoying their newfound fame.

The abysmal state of the current music scene throw tantrums backstage or refuse to start their thus boils down to the following: In a situation where concerts on time. You probably won’t hear of drug cookie-cutter personalities bring instant cash charges being filed against any members of N’Sync returns who in their right mind wants to sign a either. And they certainly wouldn’t punch “a-hole” garage band from Seattle?

It personally scares me that the ’9os gave us only reporters, show up to the Video Music Awards drunk or incite riots. three bands (Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Dave But guess what—you also won’t find a single track Matthews Band) to add to the list of rock n’ roll’s on No Strings Attached that touches you on a deeply greats and that one of these bands is already no personal level. I think it’s safe to say that “Tearin’ longer making music. The rest of the stalwarts are a product of a different age, lone electric warriors in a Up My Heart” pales in comparison to musical masterpieces like GNR’s “November Rain,” U2’s “One,” sea of poseurs.

And it all started out so well. In the early ’9os Metallica’s “Unforgiven” and Aerosmith’s “Amazing.”

As a matter of fact, none of the albums made by Guns N’ Roses and Metallica were winding down either of the former Mouseketeers, or any of the boy their world tours while Pearl Jam and Nirvana rested atop the charts.

Trask, Birkhead meet to discuss security today �■GUNMAN from page 1 ing, including securing Executive Vice President Tallman Trask in his office.

“They were concerned after [Malone] realized the president was not in her office that the guy would come looking for

me,” Trask said.

Officials are still unsure why Malone went to the president’s office. Keohane said that although the office may have been a target because it was hers, concern and attention should focus on the three people who were held hostage.

“I was very concerned about my staff, that they had this very unpleasant ex-

perience,” she said. “It was my first concern and my only one for a while.”

Malone, who lives in a local homeless shelter, will be charged with three counts of assault by pointing a gun, three counts of second degree kidnapping, one count of having a weapon on campus and trespassing, Dean said.

This is not Malone’s first encounter with Campus Police. In Februaiy 1996, Malone was charged with trespassing at

simple assault for resisting, delaying or obstructing a police officer, Dean said. He has no criminal record with the North Carolina Department of Corrections.

Dean said investigators will try to piece together the man’s intentions through the course oftheir investigation.

Trask will meet with DUPD Chief Clarence Birkhead today to discuss security at the Allen Building. “I think we have to rethink [security] given this incident,” said Trask. “But I think it was an isolated incident.”

Officials would not say how police were alerted to Malone’s arrival, but

In March of the same year, Malone was again arrested and charged with

Keohane said there are several non-obtrusive security measures throughout her office. She emphasized that she would be wary to install any security equipment that tread on the office’s

open environment.

The last on-campus hostage situation occurred in October 1993, when an escaped convict held four employees hostage for four hours in the Medical Center. Police shot him in the head, and he later died in a Hospital operating room.

“We hope to turn it into an aesthetically pleasing place that can be used for faculty relaxation and student programming.”

Talk ofreplacing the Oak Room with another fine dining option surfaced at the end oflast year, but after a backlash from alumni and faculty, Dining Services officials changed their minds.

Though it is too early to tell whether or not the Oak Room’s patronage will endure, its past success coupled with upcoming changes have left administrators hopeful.

“Each year we keep coming back,” said Bullock. “I think we speak for ourselves.”

Wulforst agreed. “Even though we got off to a rocky start, we have plans and a direction.”

� Agassi withdraws from Olympics

Blue Devils ranked No. 3 in preseason golfpoll

Five members of the Duke women’s golf team are included among the nation’s top 25

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

Surprise, surprise.

One week away from the first tournament ofthe 2000-01 women’s golf season, the preseason national rankings were released yesterday with the Blue Devils near the top.

After jockeying alongside defending national champion Arizona as the top two teams last year, Duke will begin this season No. 3 behind the topranked Wildcats and Stanford.

“I think it’s important for us to be in the top two or three,” coach Dan Brooks said. “That means I’ve done my job and brought in good talent. But whether it’s one, two, three or four, it doesn’t make much difference in preseason rankings.”

The theme of this season will likely be much like that of last season as the Blue Devils once again tee it up with a very talented team top-to-bottom, despite the loss of their top player from the year before.

After spending last year trying to adapt without 1999 team leader Jenny Chuasiriporn, the

Defending gold medalist Andre Agassi withdrew from his spot on the U.S. Olympic team citing “personal reasons.” Agassi issued a statement saying that he was withdrawing because of his mother and sister’s continuing struggles against breast cancer. No replacement has been named to fill Agassi's spot, although the USTA plans on offering it first to Pete Sampras and Jan-Michael Gambill, who had previously declined their invitations.

Blue Devils will be doing the same this season following the departure of Beth Bauer, who chose to forego her final two years of college.

Even without Bauer’s consistently stellar play, it shouldn’t be too difficult for her former team to move on. While no other program can boast any more than two individuals in the nation’s top 25, the Blue Devils have five, including four of the nation’s top 16.

“The neat thing about it is we got that many in the top 25 and they’re all between 12th and 25th,” Brooks said. “This is not a one-horse team. They’re all very good players and they’re not being pulled along by one dominant player. That’s NEAL PATEL/THE CHRONICLE what I like about this team.”

Yet Duke finds itself third, FIVE MEMBERS of this year’s women’s golf team have been listed in the nation’s not first and not even second. top 25 individual rankings, more than any other school.

Based largely on last season’s disappointing 14th-place finish deserves to be number one guess that’s our poor finish at at the NCAA Championships in after their national champinationals last year, but in the May, that prediction is what onship and their great year, whole scheme of things it realthe Blue Devils, as their capbut I actually figured we’d be ly doesn’t matter, it’s where tain said, will be trying to second,” senior Kalen you finish in May.” Duke will be relying on its prove wrong.

After that, the 22-year-old Frenchman played a pair of four-setters and did not seem to have the stamina for Hewitt, who shares the tour lead this year with four tournament victories.

Seeded for the first time at the Open, he found his game again and has been on a roll in the season’s final Grand Slam. He sees the Open as a chance to prove himself against the tour’s better players.

“Obviously, I’m going to have a few nerves—semifinals of a Grand Slam,” he said. “I want to put on a show.”

“It would be stupid for me to come out and say I’m going to win the tournament when I’ve never been to a Grand Slam quarterfinal,” he said. “I gave myself a chance. These courts do suit my game.”

recent youth movement to challenge for the national championship once again. Joining returning veterans Candy Hannemann, Maria Garcia-Estrada, Kristina Engstrom and Anderson are two of the nation’s most talented freshmen, both of whom are expected to challenge for the team’s top spot.

Freshmen Leigh Anne Hardin and Virada Nirapathpongporn enter the upcoming season ranked 15th and 16th, respectively, in the nation after impeccable junior careers.

Although there might be some nerves when they walk onto the golf course one week from tomorrow for the annual NCAA Fall Preview, the freshmen haven’t taken long to learn the team goals.

“I’m pretty happy we’re ranked [third], but we’d like to be ranked No. 1 before the season is over,” said Hardin, who added that she was very surprised at her individual ranking since she has never played a college tournament.

Before they can be No. 1, the Blue Devils will have to take out the Pac-10 teams that were so dominating at last season’s Championships.

Arizona, in particular will be a marked opponent with possible vulnerabilities after losing national player of the year Jenna Daniels, Jill Gomric and national coach of the year Todd McCorkle, who took over the golf program at Georgia in June.

Duke will have its first chance to see the Wildcats without their top performers at the Fall Preview, but they will also be looking ahead to a date with them in Tucson at the Arizona Invitational.

“Any time we can get to compete with the west coast and especially the Pac-10 teams, that will help us out and give us a better idea ofwhere we are and where we need to be,” Anderson said.

Notes: In the individual rankings, Hannemann and Garcia-Estrada were chosen 13th and 22nd, respectively, in the nation.

Newell teaches Wojo basics of post play � WOJO from page 17 tion would not be an issue were it not for the Research-

Triangle coaching whirlwind that followed Bill Guthridge’s retirement from UNC this summer.

After the tornado made it safely out of Kansas, it traveled into South Bend, Ind., where it pick up Notre Dame coach Matt Doherty and dropped him at UNC. Next, it traveled to Delaware and took former Duke assistant coach Mike Brey to Notre Dame.

Finally, it came back into the state of North Carolina and surprisingly transplanted Henderson into the head coaching spot at Delaware.

The vacant spot on Duke’s bench was given to Chris Collins, former Duke point guard during the mid-90s.

Collins, naturally, began working with the guards, but again there was a hole—there was no one to work with centers Casey Sanders and Carlos Boozer.

Enter Wojo.

This summer, Wojciechowski attended the Pete Newell Big Man Camp, a special camp in Honolulu, Hawaii where he learned how to work with postplayers. The second-year coach said that it has not been that big a transition compared to his work with the back court last year.

“In this sport, you never stop learning,” Wojciechowski said. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work with them this year. It has helped me improve in other aspects ofthe game.”

The Newell Camp, founded 23 years ago by former U.S. national team coach Pete Newell, meets every summer to work with both college and professional basketball’s “big men.”

Newell’s camp works mainly on foot and pivot skills that are lacking by many of today’s best postplayers. The running joke at the camp is that there is absolutely no dunking allowed.

The camp ended only two weeks ago and the season doesn’t start for nearly two more months, but Wojciechowski has already started putting both his new and old skills into play. He’s also showing his youthfulness on the court as well.

“It’s been great,” Sanders said. “He’s just young enough to remember what it’s like getting up at 7 a.m., but also just old enough to be able to push us hard at that time. If things continue the way they’re going, we won’t have to worry about being fit enough.”

Wojciechowski also wants to add another element

from his playing days to the post-players—passion.

The scrappy former point guard was always known as much for his heart on the floor as his game.

“He comes in at seven in the morning with a lot of energy,” Sanders said. “He’s like a fireball of energy—it’s really hard to describe. He begins 7 a.m. practice throwing Gatorade bottles at us when we’re still asleep. He expects us to be alert and alive at all times, and he pumps it into everything we do. Last year when we were freshmen, we were just getting used to school and everything, but this year we have to be alive in everything.”

Obviously, Wojciechowski is already excited about his new job.

“So far they have been great to work with,” Wojciechowski said. “I couldn’t ask for a more dedicated, better group of guys.”

Wojciechowski, who still recognizes that he has much to learn over the course of the season, believes that with his experience at point guard, coupled with his new views on the post-positions, he should be able to help the players see basketball from a new angle.

“It should help them understand the total game; should be no smoke-and-mirrors,” Wojciechowski said. “I should be able to help them understand more of the game and see it also from a guards’ view.

“Instead of just not getting the ball, they can learn why they might not have gotten the ball that play and when they might be fed the ball next.”

Sanders was quick to agree with his new coach.

“It’s great to have him working with us,” Sanders said. “He knows what the guards are comfortable throwing at this level, and he tells us where to post up to get that pass. He also makes you know why and he gives you an awareness ofthe back court that we didn’t necessarily have before.” now there
