In an effort to raise the intellectual climate of the University, administrators continue to tinker with the admissions process. An eight-member committee has begun to evaluate the benefits of giving special consideration to legacies—or children of alumni—athletes and the children of past and potential donors. Admissions committee members stressed that the University will not eliminate the three preferences but is simply evaluating the role such factors play.

“One of the goals of the committee is to try to figure out how to enhance the intellectual climate ofthe campus,” said Phil Jones, associate dean of the Pratt School of Engineering, who is a member of the admissions and financial aid review committee. “There are mixed feelings on each of these and the impact they will have.... I don’t think we want more legacies. I don’t think we want more [spots for donors’ children!.

The University currently evaluates students on a five-point scale in six areas such as grade point average, SAT scores and personal essays. Legacies, athletes and children of past and potential donors are given special consideration in borderline admissions cases. ”

Senators began streaming to the airport after voting by voice to keep federal agencies open through Nov. 14, when lawmakers would reconvene. House GOP leaders had said they would approve the same measure by Thursday, and Democrats said Clinton would sign the bill.

But after a private meeting, House Republicans emerged with a different strategy—stay in session at least until Friday and continue passing daily measures to keep federal agencies open a day at a time.

In the wake of their four-and-a-half-hour-long meeting last week, Duke Student Government legislators sped through their agenda last night, repeatedly moving for early votes on the night’s business, including revising the cost of meal plans.

Not all DSG legislators agreed with the current allocation of funds between students and Dining Services and instead supported the resolution.

“This would help students on financial aid,” Trinity sophomore Pavel Molchonov said. “[Much] financial aid is in loans or work study. By cutting costs, we would save these students from having to earn this money at some point.”

After several speeches and questions, DSG did not adopt the recommendation.

The two-hour meeting also featured a presentation on Perkins Library renovations. The director of the renovations, the head librarian and the project’s architect talked to DSG about the progress they are making and their need for student input.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to rethink Perkins Library,” said Director of Rare Books, Manuscripts and Special Collections Bob Byrd, chair of

Dissenters objected that the resulting reduction in funding for Dining Services outweighed the lowered costs to students, which ranged from $3O to $5O depending on the campus.

“This plan would be more harmful to Dining Services than it would be helpful to that percentage of students,” Trinity junior Michael Calvo said. “Dining Services would lose a sizable amount of money, which could result in losing the places we enjoy eating at.

Bush, Gore prepare for final lap

From wire reports *

� Nader scoffs at calls to withdraw Ralph Nader rallied supporters at the Wisconsin Capitol Wednesday, asking them to ignore the pleas of Al Gore’s backers to vote for the vice president. "The real decision-makers in Washington are not the Republican and Democratic parties," the Green Party candidate told about 1,500 to 2,000 people. “They’re just competing over who's going to go to the White House so they can receive the marching orders from their corporate paymasters."

� Cheney, Schwarzkopf

court seniors

Republican vice presidential candidate Dick Cheney and retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, colleagues in the Gulf War, teamed up Wednesday to tell senior citizens in Florida that Texas Gov. George W, Bush would protect their retirement.

Campaigning on both coasts of the state, Schwarzkopf rejected Democratic assertions that under Bush’s Social Security plan there wouldn’t be money left to pay retirement benefits.

� ‘Big Wheel’ gets big attention, money As the presidential candidates criss-crossed the country Wednesday, their campaigns believed the election could be determined by big money bets on the "Wheel of Fortune." The popular television game show, which draws a devoted, middle class and older audience, is presently the nation’s leading venue for political ads in a host of states.

� Candidates debate conflict of interest The Democratic candidate for labor commissioner Wednesday attacked his Republican opponent's acceptance of campaign contributions from businesses with a history of workplace safety violations, including one company that has donated $57,600. Democrat Doug Berger said the donations from Pike Electric, a Mount Airy-based utility service company, raised questions about possible conflicts of interest for Republican Cherie Berry.

� Bush holds moderate lead in N.C. In the battle for North Carolina's 14 electoral votes, Republican Gov. George W. Bush of Texas leads Democratic Vice President Al Gore 48 to 41 percent, according to a statewide poll of 625 likely voters by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research.

Libertarian candidate Harry Browne and Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan each received about 1 percent of the vote, according to the poll released Tuesday. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

TAMPA, Fla. Vice President A1 Gore and Texas Governor George W. Bush Wednesday entered the final week of the campaign in fiery moods, with Gore warning Florida voters that Bush’s economic plans would bankrupt the Social Security system, while Bush made a raid into the traditionally Democratic state of Minnesota to assail Gore’s tax proposals.

Gore’s presence in Florida came on a day that Bush expressed incredulity over a new poll that gave the Democrat an 11-point lead in a state where Jeb Bush serves as governor. “I don’t believe it,” Bush said, calling the survey by pollster John Zogby “totally out of kilter.”

But even as Bush addressed thousands under grey skies in Minneapolis, the eyes of his staff were turned south to Florida, a state the campaign believes it will win but now suggests it could do without and still reach the necessary 270 electoral votes to win the White House.

Gore, meanwhile, targeted Florida’s massive retirement community as he

campaigned for the state’s 25 electoral votes with appearances in the Tampa

and the Orlando area.

With the race in Florida, where older voters constitute more than a third of

the electorate, believed to be within his reach, the Democrat spent the day here attacking Bush’s proposals and assuring Floridians that he would keep Social Security sound for another half-century.

Republicans in the state have accused the Democrats of employing “scare tactics” with the Social Security issue, but in 1996 President Bill Clinton succeeded in winning the state by emphasizing his commitment to the federal re-

Vinroot officials don’t deny that they have little interest in traditional political dinners and stump speeches.

“Campaigns have changed. The media has changed. Voters have changed,” said Vinroot spokesperson Chris Neeley.

Neeley said most voters are too busy to attend political rallies but, thanks to technology like the Internet, have more information than ever about candidates.

“In one night on television, we can communicate our message to five million people,” Neeley said.

Combined, the candidates have already spent about $l5 million getting their message out in advertisements.

Ted Arrington, a political science professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, said such campaigns—short on personal appearances and heavy on television advertising—will likely continue.

N.C. Baptists unworried by Texans’ withdrawal: North Carolina’s

Baptist officials are not veiy worried about Texas Baptists’ decision to cut $5 million in funding for the Southern Baptist Convention.

Protesting a shift toward greater fundamentalism, the Baptist General Convention of Texas—representing about one-fifth of the country’s largest Protestant denomination, the Southern Baptists—voted Monday to cut its funding for six Southern Baptist seminaries by $4 million, and to drop its support for the national headquarters by $1 million.

But North Carolina’s Baptist leaders say the decision should not affect the state too much.

“I still think North Carolina Baptists are solidly Southern Baptist people and want to cooperate,” said the Rev. Mike Cummings, president of the North Carolina Baptist Convention. “I think they want our convention to be inclusive and serve the needs of what the church wants to do.”

State bans fires to stop epidemic;

In response to an epidemic of blazes, the Division of Forest Resources banned open burning in 32 counties m the western part of the state and can-

celed all burning permits in counties west of Interstate 77.

More than 100 firefighters battled a blaze that scorched about 300 acres in Mitchell County. Fire crews said they think the fire was sparked by a trash burning that went out ofcontrol Tuesday.

“It was bad. Flames were coming out the tops of trees,” said Donna Robinson, who lives near the fires in the Tipton Hill section of Bakersville. “It was the worst I’d ever seen.”

Meanwhile, more than 200 firefighters fought a blaze that burned around 600 acres of the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area of Burke County. U.S. Forest Service officials suspect a careless camper is at fault.

Buncombe and Madison counties have also experienced smaller fires.

Admissions re-evaluation could hurt athletic program � ADMISSIONS from page 1 The admission of legacies has traditionally served as a means by which the University can keep strong ties to alumni and their families, said Director of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag.

Judith Ruderman, vice provost of

academic and administrative services, agreed. “We understand that there is loyalty to the University from alumni, and we realize we have a responsibility to be loyal to them,” she said.

Last year, 471 children of alumni applied to the University. Roughly 50 percent were admitted as compared to 25 percent of the traditional 14,500 applicants. Guttentag said the admission rate of legacies at the University is similar to those at Duke’s peer institu-

tions and added that he did not believe that legacy status was pivotal in the majority of admission decisions.

Laney Funderburk, Trinity ’6O and associate vice president for alumni affairs, does not expect any changes in admission criteria to have a significant effect on the number of legacies who are admitted to Duke.

In addition to legacy status, the admissions committee will also discuss the number of students who are given special consideration because of athletic ability. Currently, the admissions office reserves about 120 spots for varsity athletes. Chris Kennedy, associate director of athletics, said that a decision to decrease that number would hurt the athletics department.

tacting former residents in the mid-90s with the intention of determining the actual hazards of VOCs. Dennis Darcey, a Duke assistant professor of community and occupational health, said exposure to VOCs would probably not spawn any immediate effects, but could eventually cause cancer or other chronic illnesses.

“It would be very unlikely that trace contamination of drinking water with these chemicals would cause

acute health effects,” he said. “However, concern has been raised regarding the potential for increased risk of adverse reproductive effects and cancer depending on the dose and the duration of exposure.”

Darcey added that illnesses caused by exposure are difficult to recognize, perhaps explaining the need for

Military officials are concerned the study could make families dwell on past medical tragedies. “We are asking families to relive some very personal situations which may or may not be related to the situation at Camp Lejeune,” Mitchell said.

He also expressed concern that the publicity could lead to hysteria or undue distress.

The government has not opened any clinics to help residents who may have suffered from the exposure to the chemicals, Mitchell said. “I don’t think there has been any cause-an-effect relationship whereby the government feels it needs to open up any specific clinics.”

Duke Conservative Union AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT NAN KEOHANE ON THE ISSUE OF FORCING THE CHAPEL TO PERMIT SAME-SEX UNIONS Duke Conservative Union

November 2, 2000 Dear President Keohane: We are writing to you, on behalf of what we believe to be a silent majority of students at Duke, with regard to the issue of the University requiring the Chapel to sanction same-sex union ceremonies.

It has been reported that you included this contentious item—as a last-minute addition—to the program of the October 6th weekend Board of Trustees’ meeting. It is obvious that you took your cue illegitimately from Duke Student Government: on October 2nd, two DSG officers devised a partisan memorandum demanding the elimination of “the blatant discrimination” practiced by Duke’s Chapel.

DSG —as a group of elected representatives of the undergraduate student body—took it upon itself to instruct the entire Duke Community (alumni, faculty, staff, professional and graduate students in addition to undergraduates) on an issue of great import. These individuals had no mandate to pronounce on supposed discrimination against homosexuals. No member of DSG campaigned actively on this issue during its (already questionable) elections. As a result, it is highly suspect whether DSG is representing Duke’s undergraduate student body or a personal agenda.

It is evident that these same-sex “unions” are in fact not mere unions. Since such unions are not legally recognized in North Carolina, performing them at Duke represents an attempt to grant religious approval to homosexual “marriage.” Moreover, opposition to homosexual “marriage” is hardly an extremist position. On the contrary, all Democrat and Republican presidential candidates have opposed gay “marriage.” Even leftists such as Hillary Clinton have recently asserted, “a marriage is as a marriage has always been: between a man and a woman.”

It is, furthermore, fundamentally incorrect to argue that this matter has anything to do with discriminatory practices. The law allows two individuals of the opposite sex the right to a marriage. Everybody—gays and straights alike —has this same right. The fact that homosexuals will not or cannot exercise that right does not constitute discrimination. The proposal from DSG, then, relates to the radical transformation of marriage—a universal, timehonored social institution by no means specific to the American people—and not to discrimination at all.

It is incumbent on you, President Keohane, not to rush to judgment on this controversial issue. As such, the only legitimate course of action before you report back to the Trustees is for you to ascertain the opinion of the entire Duke Community, via mailings to alumni and through a student, faculty and staff referendum. Everyone will agree that your hand-picked committee hardly represents the views of the Community.

Before Duke University stamps its approval on a radical national movement to discard the family—where we leam to be humane citizens —we, the Duke Conservative Union, implore you to pause for careful consideration of a diversity of opinion. Please let the voice of our Community speak louder than the dictates of The Princeton Review.

Yours sincerely,

The Executive Board Duke Conservative Union

Recess needs to devote more space to arts coverage

Re-elect David Price

The

one talent that every Congressman needs is a deep under-

standing of the issues. For 12 ofthe past 14 years, Rep. David Price has served the fourth district well, and he deserves to be re-elected to a seventh term.

Price, who is one of the most thoughtful and moderate members of the House, has voted with the needs ofhis constituents. His hesitancy to take an extreme view and insistence on taking a pragmatic and realistic stance is a good fit for the exceptionally diverse community that is the Triangle. From pharmaceutical companies to hospitals and universities and from the gay and lesbian community to the black community, Price understands his constituents and the problems they face.

He has been a strong advocate for the Triangle while in Congress, and his position on the appropriations committee gives him the kind of clout that is essential to getting things done in Washington. Price knows the political game and knows how to defend the interests—both financial and social—of the Fourth District.

Price is on the right side of some of the district’s most pressing problems. His proposals on education are appropriate to his district’s needs. Price is working to recruit more teachers and has proposed an expansion of the successful North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program, which aims to recruit high school seniors to enter the teaching profession using nonbureaucratic means. He is also pushing for an increase in aid for community colleges. These are the right uses for our federal budgetary surplus.

He is working to improve the quality of life for the Triangle’s growing population of Hispanic immigrants. He supports an exploration of how to increase funding for local English-as-a-second-language programs.

That is not to say that Price will be a big spender. In fact, his reluctance to earmark bills as emergencies in order to get special funding is reflective of smart financial restraint.

His viewpoint on that issue, as well as others, demonstrates his thoughtfulness in crafting policy. Another example: Price supports banning employment discrimination against gays and lesbians, but he is reluctant to support the current form of the employment nondiscrimination act because it does not look out for the rights of privacy of third parties. He is right to buck the current form of that bill and wait until a better version comes out.

Price’s opponent, Cary town councilman Jess Ward, has also been a community activist and a leader in his hometown, but he is not ready for the job of congressman. His rhetoric and exceptionally conservative stances would not make for much policy. Ward should look into gathering more experience, possibly in the North Carolina General Assembly, before running for federal office. David Price has a surplus of experience and a strong congressional record to match.

The Chronicle formally endorses David Price for Congress from the Fourth District.

The Chronicle

On Oct. 25, Duke Players, a student/faculty drama organization on campus, premiered its ground-breaking production of Rita Dove’s “The Darker Face of the Earth,” in Reynolds Theater. This production has been in process for six months, involving 60-plus students, and numerous faculty, staff and artists from the Triangle community. On Wednesday night, history was made as this piece had its North Carolina premiere, and for the first time in many years, Duke Drama produced the work of a contemporary, Pulitzer Prizewinning, African-American, female playwright. On friday morning, members of the Duke Drama communi-

ty were dismayed to find phenomenal that this accomplishment was not even mentioned once in the of weekly publication Community in or the Recess Calendar. Out of all 12 pages in Recess, only one pertained to on-campus arts, while The News & Observer of Raleigh included a large article, reviewing the show in Friday’s paper.

We find it sad that the newspaper of the Duke comoverlook munity could reporting on such an important on-campus event. By only allotting one or two pages to on-campus arts, Recess is neglecting its obligations as a source of information to the Duke community at large.

On behalf of the Drama community, we would like to congratulate the entire cast and crew of “Darker Face of the Earth” on an amazing production, and we apologize to those members of the community who Duke missed this show because they were unaware that such an exciting event was happening in their midst. We hope that in the future, the editors of Recess will realize the strong impact their reporting (or lack thereof) has on the performing arts at Duke.

Employ the ACES lady to replace online ACES I’m sure I’m not the only person writing a letter right now, because it would appear that the vast majority of the senior class is, as I write, sitting at their computers, waiting for ACES to load. It’s been 25 minutes since I sat down.

And in that time—basically all spent hitting reload over and over and over again—I’ve had plenty of time to write email, surf in another window, and... hit reload again!

This offends me on a lot of levels. As a computer science major, that anyone could write software so, or be so cheap on servers, and be apparently unable or unwilling to fix it, is offensive. As a student, that the administration continues to allow the contractors to provide services so shoddy is offensive.

The bond issue must pass

Everyone in North Carolina—including Duke students—benefits if the UNC bond referendum passes profession are about to overrun the higher education system in the state. Consider

Guest commentary Dan Blue As a trustee, an alumnus and parent of three alumni of Duke University, let me encourage today’s students, faculty and staff to give their full support to the North Carolina Higher Education Bonds when you vote Nov. 7.

If approved, the bonds will be issued over the next six years and will provide a total of $2.5 billion for upgrading and adding classrooms, research and instructional laboratories, technology and infrastructure facilities at the state’s 16 public universities, as well as $6OO million for additional classrooms and training facilities at the state’s 59 community colleges.

Approximately $1.2 billion of the bonds will be spent in the Triangle.

The cost for paying off the bonds would average less than 1 percent ofthe state’s revenues, which is one reason the state will not have to raise taxes to pay off the bonds. As a member of the General Assembly, I joined with an overwhelming majority of Democrats and Republicans in supporting this referendum.

The reason for the bonds is that North Carolina’s rapid population growth and the additional education and skills demanded by new technologies in every

these examples: At the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, 500 qualified community college transfers were turned away for lack of space.

At East Carolina University, badly needed nursing student applicants are being told to come back later because of the lack of facilities.

At North Carolina Central University, the “best” science building has no distilled water or gas and their fume hoods barely work, creating a health and safety risk.

At the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill, one out of every five nonhealth buildings was constructed more than 70 years ago.

In the community colleges, thousands of students can’t get the computer training they need because there aren’t enough classrooms. Those students—primarily working adults —are being forced to put their career advancement on hold.

These examples of quality and quantity deficiencies persist. The challenges are only going to become greater. Full-time enrollment in the state’s public universities and community colleges is expected to increase by 30 percent, or 100,000 students, during the next 10 years. The number of high school graduates in North Carolina is now the fourth fastest grow-

ing in the country. The high school class of 2010 will number about 79,000 —an increase of 26 percent from last year.

But you are at Duke, so why should you care? It’s simple. First, in many different ways, being at Duke is about learning to be involved in the greater community beyond the campus borders. Voting for these bonds is away for you to help provide educational opportunities that would not otherwise be available for literally tens of thousands of North Carolinians.

But voting for the bonds is more than a civic exercise. Passage of the bonds is also good for the futures of those at Duke in several ways.

First, a quality public higher education system has been a driving force in the success North Carolina has had in attracting diversified industrial and business investment. For example, as important as Duke has been to the success of Research Triangle Park, there would be no Park if we didn’t have top-quality public universities in this area.

In turn, the presence of those companies attracted here by higher education has created thousands of jobs for Duke graduates working and living in the Triangle. Those companies have also created numerous research opportunities for Duke faculty and students.

Another benefit from these bonds will be that the facilities are important to col-

laborations between Duke and its neighboring institutions. President Nan Keohane pointed out earlier this year that as a result of a gift from Julian and Josie Robertson, Duke is inaugurating a new program of student exchanges with UNC-Chapel Hill. Duke also benefits from exchanges with North Carolina State University and NCCU. When Duke Hospital needs to retrain workers, it turns to Durham Technical Community College. Taking steps to strengthen regional excellence is a great motivator for each area institution to excel, including Duke.

There are similar collaborations and shared benefits between other private colleges and public universities in North Carolina, which is why the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities is endorsing the higher edu-

cation bond referendum.

For all these reasons and more, I make a personal request of my fellow Blue Devils to vote for the Higher Education Bonds on Nov. 7. There is nothing you can do that will be of more help to more people in providing educational and economic opportunities.

Dan Blue, Law 73, is a current member and former speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives. He also serves on the Board

of Trustees.

Fred Goldsmith: Much more than a coach Guest commentary Michael Gagnon “Watch your fingers!” I reminded the wide-eyed kids as we happily sliced oranges in the kitchen ofthe Ronald McDonald House. The week prior, we had arranged for the wonderful people from Merle Norman to come to the Ronald McDonald House to do face paints for the boys and beautiful makeovers for the girls and their weary moms, whose faces were worn out from countless tears and many sleepless nights. Sure, their hair had long since left most of the kids and all were thin and exhausted from the various treatments they were receiving, but inside they were little girls who wanted to play dress-up and boys who still wanted to be Frankenstein.

It has been years since I left Duke, but I will never forget the day we had when we decided to pay an unannounced visit to the Duke football fields to observe practice. I believe it was the year after Fred Goldsmith had been named Sports Illustrated ’s Football Coach of the Year. On this particular day, our kids decided they wanted to go and see a football practice. It was a beautiful sunny day and we agreed that if we brought orange slices, it would improve our chances of getting “close to the players” (I had visions of us getting there and being escorted out by some security as I had NO arrangements and knew no one on the football staff).

Grinning from ear to ear with excitement and anticipation, 12 boys and girls, a few parents and I headed to the football fields with bags of oranges. As it were, one of our girls, Nicole, was celebrating her birthday. Some kids were too weak to walk down to the playing fields and I was glad that several of my friends had joined us to help carry them. What happened next was magic.

We got about 20 yards from the playing fields and it was incredible to me how many players there were. There must have been 100 people out on three fields all running scrimmages with coaches everywhere, barking orders.

There were coaches up in a high tower, players running in sequence and players throwing in sequence. My palms began to sweat as I thought about how there was no way in blazes we were going to be able to talk to any of these people as they were all so, well, busy. I looked over my kids’ eyes and you would have thought they were at the gates of Willie Wonka’s chocolate factory, their faces beaming with joy! I looked, back to the playing fields and noticed this guy walking clear across the three fields

heading, purposefully, in our direction. He is a coach and I assume this is where we are going to be asked to leave (there are no other visitors

around the fields and I suspect this is no coincidence).

The coach got to us at the fence and he smiled, “Hi, I am Coach Goldsmith, how are you today?” Our kids were mesmerized, a real football coach talking to them! He said something like, ‘What’s that you have there? Oranges? Boy, our men sure would enjoy those.

Would you like to meet our football team?”

“Yes!” they all shouted He blew his whistle and

They were having as much fun as the after his whistle, we were surrounded by over 100 people, kids were having. They knelt down to put themselves on Goldsmith then said something like, “Men, these eye level and asked our kids about their school and what are the kids of Ronald McDonald House. They came all towns they were from.

2000 STATE ELECTIONS U.S. HOUSE DISTRICT 4 1986-present

Education: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 8.A.; Yale University, Ph.D. in Political Science In his seventh term Price hopes to continue his work on education, paying down the national debt, and strengthening Social Security and Medicare.

“I still think of myself as having close ties to Duke. I worked as a representative with Duke from research funding to Pell grants to tax-deductible student loans,” he said. “I have worked hard strengthening public education, health care rights, questions of affordable housing market. I have focused on public education, transportation and health care.”

In his position on the appropriations committee, Price helped deliver Hurricane Floyd relief and over $3O million to the Triangle Transit Authority.

Price, who has lived in the district for 27 years, says this is his best qualification.

Political Party: Libertarian Political Experience: Founded the Durham County Libertarian Party Education: Rice University, 8.A.; Rice University, M.A. in Math education, crime and privacy, believes Towey national defense are the largest issues in this campaign

“Duke students know that next century is going to be different from the last 0ne.... Everyone talks about how in the information age and global economy companies have to be more competitive,” he said. “We have to make sure America is the best place in the world for talent or business to come or we could slip to be a Third World country.”

As a Libertarian, Towey believes that government should play a minimal role in citizens’ lives and that individual liberty should be balanced with individual responsibility.

Towey thinks voters should choose him because he is an ordinary citizen, not a career politician.

Political Party; Republican Political Experience; Member of Cary Town Council Education: Talledega College, 8.A.; Texas Southern University, M.B.A.

In the House, Ward will focus on cutting taxes, bringing power to local levels and improving education

“People deserve better representation than they have,” he said. “The representatives are not doing a good job, we should get money back to the state. I also feel a calling to do something with my life to inspire future generations of people, not just young people, there are old people running around that don’t’ have a clue.”

Ward believes in a smaller government. He calls himself a moderate conservative and believes that government is on a dangerous trend toward invading peoples’ lives.

He says his passion for the success of local residents makes him a qualified candidate.

In contrast, Towey believes that an across-the-board legalization would help keep immigrants from having to accept the rock-bottom wages that many of them must accept.

“As long as we have illegals in the market, that’s cutting wages for everyone and it’s essentially creating slave labor,” Towey said.

He argued that North Carolina residents would not suffer as a result of the legalization.

� LSU starter out for season with injury Brad Bridgewater, expected to be LSD’s starting center this year, tore two ligaments in his left knee in practice yesterday and is out for the season, coach John Brady said. Bridgewater tore the anterior cruciate ligament and the medial collateral ligament. The 6-foot-8 junior was the Tigers’ tallest player, since both Stromile Swift and Jabari Smith left for the NBA..

Bridgewater will undergo surgery this week.

Peace, Love and Basketball

The ESPN bus, decorated in hippie style, was parked outside Cameron Indoor Stadium yesterday. Duke’s gym will serve as the studio for Dick Vitale’s Slam Bam Jam College Basketball preview show for ESPN. The show will tape tonight in Cameron. The public is invited to attend for free. Beginning at 7:45 p.m., Duke undergraduates and graduate students will be admitted to Cameron’s lower level by showing their student IDs. All other members of the community will be admitted at the ticket lobby entrance of Cameron to sit in the arena’s upper level. Taping of the show will take place from approximately 8:30 toll p.m, and the program will air on ESPN Tuesday, Nov. 7. It is expected that ESPN will name the Blue Devils as its preseason No. 1 team in the country during the event.

From staff reports Nobody said it would be easy.

As the ACC field hockey championships commence today at Maryland’s Artificial TurfFacility, five-seed Duke (7-11,0-4 in the ACC) faces a tough and determined fourseed Virginia squad (11-6,1-3).

Just last Friday, the Blue Devils dropped a tightly contested overtime game to the Cavaliers.

UVa junior Carrie Goodloe scored the game-winning goal in that contest and picked up this week’s ACC player of the week honor.

In looking to defeat its Charlottesville foe, Duke will rely on the leadership of seniors Courtney Sommer and Moe Denney.

Sommer, who was named to the All-ACC and ACC All-Toumament teams last season, has 25 points this season and 55 for her career. She was named a second-team AllAmerican last year. Sommer and Denney were selected to participate in the North/South Senior All-Star game Nov. 18 at Old Dominion.

In this tournament, however, the Cavaliers are not all that stand in Duke’s way. Should they manage to defeat Virginia, things will only get harder for the

Blue Devils. Tomorrow’s winner will find top-seeded North Carolina (17-2, 4-0) eagerly waiting tomorrow.

No. 10 Clemson is reeling going into its muchanticipated matchup with No. 4 Florida State. Star quarterback Woody Dantzler was knocked out of action for the second straight week in the Tigers’ loss to Georgia Tech and he may be unavailable against FSU. Clemson is also concerned about the recent weakness of its pass defense. The Tigers have surrendered 454,314 and 370 yards in three of the last four games. This trend is likely to continue when they face Chris Weinke, the leading passer in the ACC.

If Clemson does not have enough problems with its own team, the location of Saturday’s game will not help. Florida State has not lost in its past 50 games at Doak Walker Stadium and have won the last 33. Both of these streaks are tops in the nation. Additionally, Clemson has been outscored in Doak 156-3 in the last four games. The Tigers’ last touchdown at FSU came in 1989.

� Tar Heels try to turn it around After four straight losses, UNO’s bowl hopes hang in the balance at Pittsburgh Saturday. To have a winning record and be bowl eligible, UNO must beat Pitt, Maryland and Duke. If the Tar Heels lose just one of the three games, coach Carl Torbush may be fired after the season. Athletic director Dick Baddour has said he will decide Torbush’s status at the end of the season, certainly bad news for a coach who has two years left on his contract.

If the Tar Heels do make it to a bowl, quarterback (and potentially starting point guard) Ronald Curry would be unavailable to the basketball team until January.

“When you lose games like that, I have a hard time picking up a newspaper and reading about it.”

“We’re getting ready to play a team that could be undefeated.

Both games they 105t... they had opportunities to win.”

“Florida State is the gold standard in college football, just like Duke is in college basketball. They are the standard we are all trying to get to.”

“I know he will be sorely missed and our thoughts and prayers will be with him and his family over these next few days.”

Dußose to resign as Helgadottir to start in goal for Duke ’Bama’s head coach � SOCCER from page 17

By JOHN ZENOR Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.

The sight of Alabama play-

ers sitting on the turf in disbelief after a humiliating homecoming loss was just too much for one of the proudest programs in college football.

Coach Mike Dußose will resign at the end of the season, bringing an end to four turbulent seasons. He survived a sexual harassment scandal to lead the Crimson Tide to a conference title last season, but watched the team collapse this year.

“I thought Monday in my heart and soul that I needed to make a change,” athletic director Mai Moore said yesterday during a news conference. “We both agreed that new leadership is needed to move the program forward.”

Alabama was ranked No. 3 in the preseason poll, with many fans expecting the Tide to roll through its Southeastern Conference opponents and make its way to the national title game.

But the Tide opened with a loss at unranked UCLA, was shut out by Southern Mississippi, also lost to Arkansas and Mississippi and fell 40-28 Saturday to Central Florida. At 3-5, Alabama needs victories in its final three games just to qualify for a bowl game.

Dußose followed Gene Stallings as coach in 1997,five years after the Tide won its sixth national title. Bear Bryant led Alabama to five titles between 1958-1982.

Moore said Dußose would be paid his salary and

benefits through January 2002 and there would be “no lump-sum payment.”

Dußose, 47, a former Alabama player and longtime assistant coach, was under contract through Jan. 31, 2004. He is 24-20 in four seasons as head coach.

Moore said he will search for an experienced coach to replace Dußose, who was given the job without college head coaching experience.

The athletic director said he would pick a successor without a search committee. He declined to identify any possible successors but said, “You always have coaches in mind in these situations.”

Moore said money would not be an issue, though Dußose’s $525,000 annual compensation package made him one of the Southeastern Conference’s lowest

paid football coaches.

“We will do what we need to do to move forward this program, and take it to the level that is expected and demanded ofit,” Moore said.

He said Dußose would coach the team through a bowl game if it makes it that far. Moore isn’t worried that that might affect the interest of prospective successors.

Hempen resists using retribution as a means of exciting his squad.

“You don’t usually want to use that as a motivator because they can turn that around on us,” Hempen said. “Our motivation right now is to play better and give a solid effort. If we can do that, it really doesn’t matter who we’re playing.”

One mystery that has already been answered is who will be at goalkeeper. Freshman Thora Helgadottir and senior Isis Dallis have switched off all season.

“We’ll start with Thora and see what happens from there,” Hempen said.

“She’s added a new dimension to the position for us.

Both of our goalkeepers are very good shot-stoppers.

Thora is so good in her kicking game, she adds another dimension to our attack that Isis doesn’t give us.”

But Hempen was also careful to note that one play-

er won’t make or break any team in this year’s tourney. Agreeing that the ACC is without a doubt the premier women’s soccer conference in the nation, the equally intense tournament will not only decide who goes to the NCAA tournament, but provide excellent training as well.

‘The teams that eventually win out, it won’t come down to one player,” Hempen said. “It will come down to the teams that have physically prepared to compete in an event and the possibility of playing three games in four days. I don’t think one player’s going to be able to do that. If we do, then we want to give her name to April Heinrichs, because she belongs on the national team.”

Notes: Three other quarterfinal games are being played tomorrow in Koskinen Stadium. North Carolina plays N.C. State at 1 p.m. At 3 p.m., Wake Forest takes on Florida State. After the Duke game, favored Clemson will play Maryland.
