Candidates differ on science policy Governor’s race tight in last days

By MARY CARMICHAEL The Chronicle

With one day left, candidates are scrambling to get in the last word on important issues—main-

ly Social Security, Medicare, taxes and defense.

But for Duke, far more hangs in the balance. The federal government pays for almost half of the research done at the University, but the presidential and congressional candidates have largely ignored the issue of science funding.

Most notably, Texas Gov. George W. Bush has offered no more than platitudes on the value of science for keeping the economy strong.

Are there any differences in the candidates’ positions?

“Both presidential candidates agree that research is extraordinarily important,” said Adam Keiper, president of the Center for the Study of Science and Technology, a Washington, D.C. think tank. “Whichever candidate wins, spending is not likely to change PROFESSOR GLENN EDWARDS AND THE FREE ELECTRON USER UB receive about significantly.” half of the funding Duke gets from the Department of Defense.

Until September it seemed like the North Carolina gubernatorial race was going to be a cakewalk for Democrat Mike Easley, leaving his Republican opponent, Richard Vinroot, with only crumbs. With Easley sitting atop a 15-point lead and a large stash of cash, it looked like another Democrat would soon be unpacking boxes at the governor’s mansion—but that was then.

Recent polls by WTVD and WBTV indicate a narrow one- to two-point

margin between these two INSIDE: gubernatorial candidates.

Citing Vinroot’s lack of political experience outside of the Charlotte metro area, Easley has painted Vinroot as a “city slicker,” out of touch with eastern North Carolinians’ interests.

Similarly, Vinroot has tried to paint Easley as an “A1 Gore liberal.” Vinroot hopes to profit from Bush’s broad voter base, and Gore’s consequent troubles. “1 don’t like the ideas you and A1 Gore have,” Vinroot said at a debate with Easley, frustrating his Democratic rival.

Two Palestinians killed, 17 injured

Palestinian leader Arafat will meet with Clinton in Washington Thursday sands of Israelis filled a Tel Aviv square Saturday night to pay tribute to former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated at the site five years ago by an ultranationalist Israeli opposed to trading land for peace with the Palestinians.

The current violence has hardened attitudes on both sides and put seven years of peace negotiations on hold.

Many dovish Israelis, including some of those at the rally, said their faith in the peace process has been shaken.

Many Palestinians, meanwhile, said they have little to show for the

By GREG MYRE Associated Press

Scattered JERUSALEM clashes Sunday across the Gaza Strip and West Bank left two Palestinians dead, 17 injured and tensions high despite a truce agreement and plans for upcoming meetings in Washington.

President Bill Clinton, who has been trying to restore calm to the region, will play host to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat Thursday, and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak three days later, on Nov. 12, the White House said Sunday.

Both Palestinians killed Sunday were shot dead in the Gaza Strip.

One was Maher Mouhmad Alsaidi,

Shifa hospital director Mouawia Hassanian.

At least 10 Palestinians were wounded in Gaza, and seven were hurt in the West Bank in a clash outside Bethlehem, to the south of Jerusalem, according to Palestinian security forces.

In the West Bank, two Jewish settlers, a man and a woman, were wounded when Palestinian assailants ambushed their car and

Civilians flee Afghanistan, war persists Bv BARRY BEARAK

N.Y. Times News Service

The soldiers atop AI KHANOUM, Afghanistan the steep mountain were grumbling. They had a tank perched at cliffside, and they had been firing away.

Five days previously, they blew apart one of the Taliban’s tanks, nested on a facing mountaintop across the broad valley. Usually, such success merits a cash bonus—but they had gotten nothing.

The war against the Taliban has not been going well.

Largely unstoppable since it began a march across the country in 1995, the Taliban militia added more territory to its domain, winning victories in Afghanistan’s northeast, in the mountains where this nation nudges Tajikistan, Pakistan and China.

Some 75,000 people have already fled, most of them settling into tent cities, where they live beneath sheets of blue plastic and huddle against the dust storms.

The biggest gain during the campaign was the city ofTaloqan, conquered on Sept. 5 after a 33-day battle.

The militia exploited their advantage in manpower and artillery.

It is hard to measure how much ofAfghanistan now lies under the control of the Taliban mullahs and their stem version of Islam. Pockets of resistance are scattered about.

Most likely, the militia now holds 90 to 95 percent of a country that has been at war for 21 years, leaving but a smidgen to the government ofBurhanuddin Rabbani, the regime considered legitimate by most of the world.

Early reports show that Republicans turned out for early voting in proportions larger than their registration, and Vinroot said the results would "give Republicans a sweep across the state.”

“The Supreme Court is at stake because the next president, the one you pick Tuesday, will pick a majority on the court that will interpret our Constitution for the next 30 to 40 years,” he said, noting that Bush has praised conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia.

Gore mocked Bush’s promise to be a get-along president, aiming his words at the large population of senior citizens in

both Pennsylvania and Florida.

“The question is, will he get along with HMOs? You’ll get along with them fine if you-kill the patients’ bill ofrights.

What's going on in these elections?

I think this is a great election in one respect for students: it is close and it is exciting. But in another respect, the solid (and unmoving) partisan support for both candidates... means that the election has been fought: a) In the middle among uncommitted, nonpartisan, nonideological voters. This has made it a campaign less of issues and more of personality, and I think this has disappointed many students. b) For hard core voters, meaning elderly and upper middle class suburbanites. Until young people turn out at a higher rate, they won't be paid much attention to by politicians. c) For battleground states... and North Carolina is no battleground! So the campaign in this area has been very quiet.

How does this election season reflect on American democracy?

It reflects the odd mix in this country of anti-party attitudes and a partisan political system. The political parties have become increasingly distinct over the past decade, both in Congress and in state legislatures.

Yet, America's 200-year distaste for partisan differences is also evident. This paradox continues to bedevil us, and leads us to run bland, homogenized, nonpartisan presidential campaigns. I think the public would be better off if they simply recognized that policy and partisan differences are part and parcel

Were there issues left out of the Durham campaigns?

It's hard to have a vigorous discussion of the issues when you don't have a full slate of candidates (in the race for County Board of Commissioners], There's just not a full slate of candidates—four incumbents plus one nominee on the Democrats side, and only one of the three Republicans has mounted a credible campaign.

How do you decide on your vote?

I make my voting decisions mainly on is sues that I care about, rather than personality, given that leaders appoint whole teams, not just act as individual decision makers. A cluster of issues matter to me, including international affairs, social issues around women's equality and civil rights, the environment and economic equity.

How do local elections affect Duke?

The local elections are very important for Duke because both the city and the county, as well as our state government, make a lot of decisions that affect our university—and also affect the quality of life in our city and region. As you may know, I wrote to all Duke alums in the state urging them to support the bond election for higher education, since despite our fierce athletic rivalries, it’s important for Duke that UNC campuses continue to flourish, given all our partnerships and their crucial role in our state.

How do national elections affect Duke?

The national election also matters for Duke as it matters for everyone; but as long as all candidates support access to higher education and support for scientific research, as they seem to, this may make less of a difference directly to our university, as distinct from each one of us as citizens.

It reflects a healthy sinterest among the public for scandal, and an ability' voters to separate the personal from the political. The news media have not caught up to the voters.

How has the U.S. presidential race differed from last

year's DSG race?

Well, for starters there are less people running. When there's only two candidates, how much choice do you really have? Now, when there's nine candidates, at least you have some options. Also, George W. Bush has not received any questionable endorsements from professional athletes, and Al Gore has not been accused of pulling down his opponent's flyers.

Who would you rather run against in a DSG elec-

Al Gore hands down. Bush has the kind of charisma to get endorsements, dorm storm and get votes, and then pick up a few more in the Hideaway. Al Gore would spend days trying to set out an ultra-detailed plan for K-ville into the next decade. For President of the U.S., I'd vote for Gore, but if he ran for DSG, he'd be an easy target.

DIWALI DANCERS graced the stage of Page Auditorium this weekend. Diwali, now a 16-year-old festival at Duke, involves Southeast Asian dances, musical performance and fashion shows.

“We try to keep it free because it’s important for people not to be hindered [and] because it’s such a learning experience for everyone involved, both the audience and the performers,” she said.

Dancers said that the days leading up to the dressrehearsals were very hectic.

“Our practice schedules were crazy,” sophomore Shivali Gotecha said. “It has to be perfect since it’s one of the biggest events of the year.”

But most of the participants agreed that it was worth all the time and effort to create this sold-out annual campus cultural event.

“Our goal is entertainment and to raise awareness for Southeast Asian culture and showcase multiculturalism at Duke,” Trivedi said. “For everyone who says they want to raise knowledge of multiculturalism on campus... we are doing it.”

Since 1973, over 80 inmates —including three from North Carolina—have been released from death row because later evidence proved their innocence.

Last Friday, the North Carolina Central University School of Law hosted “A Town Meeting: The Death Penalty Moratorium Movement In North Carolina” to discuss capital punishment and current flaws in the legal system which might allow the courts to sentence innocent people to death.

The majority of the “town meeting” consisted of a panel discussion moderated by Professor Louis Bilionis of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Law School. This was followed by an open forum, which allowed audience members to ask questions and express their opinions.

In addition to Bilionis, the 18-member panel included family members of murder victims, several professors, attorneys and other experts.

One of the main topics of the panel discussion was the effect of race on the imposition of the death penalty.

The majority of the panel agreed that inequities in the system are often due to race.

“Pm concerned that if you’re an African-American and you’re a defendant, then you’re disadvantaged in the court room,” said Ken Rose, an attorney for the Center for Death Penalty Litigation. “Class runs with race to a great degree, and it’s also a pressing issue.”

The race for governor

The

race for North Carolina governor has been nothing if not a disappointment. The campaign’s negative tone, neglect ofreal North Carolina issues and inattention to public campaigning is not the kind of strategy that should be used in a race for this high of a position—especially for a state at a critical juncture in its economic, educational and infrastructural development.

Both Democrat Mike Easley and Republican Richard Vinroot have spent much of their campaigns on the airwaves, shouting accusations at one another and slinging mud all around. Even when they debated last week, Vinroot managed to find a reason to literally grab Easley as they had another back-and-forth attack session. But neither of these candidates has done much at all to connect with North Carolina voters.

Interested voters would have had a difficult time finding either of these two speaking, shaking hands or interacting at all with the electorate over the last few weeks.

In many ways, this disconnect is emblematic ofthe larger problem in this election —neither candidate is talking about issues that matter to this state. Each is doing a fantastic job parroting his respective party’s national platform, but neither is addressing the vitally important issues that this state now faces. With the rapid decline of the tobacco industry, the imminent troubles ofthe hog farming industry and the still-reeling eastern coast, there is much to be said about how to revitalize the state’s economy and industry, how to attract new industry and jobs to the area and how to retrain the state’s workforce.

But no one is saying it.

It’s almost as if you could pick up these two candidates and drop them down in any state in the country, and they would hardly have to change their messages, their websites or their debate styles.

Aside from that, Easley is the best candidate for the job of governor.

His eight years of experience in a statewide office should do him well in a governor’s office that demands attention from both rural and urban communities.

Vinroot’s success at attracting big business to Charlotte, as he did during his term as mayor, is encouraging. But he has talked little of applying this skill and translating it to work statewide. And, simply put, his Taxpayer’s Protection Act is foolish. This policy typifies the kind of disconnect that has plagued this election. The bill’s cap on taxation, and the resulting limit on spending, contradicts the needs of this state.

At a time when the state’s workers need investment in re-education, at a time when the state’s industry needs investment in retooling and at a time when this state’s education needs a serious boost in spending, North Carolina needs a leader who will not neglect people for the bottom line. That leader is Mike Easley.

The Chronicle formally endorses Mike Easley for governor of North Carolina.

record

Letters to the Editor

Make decisions based on principles, not popularity The Duke Conservative Union has demanded that the entire Duke community be consulted in the question of same-sex unions in the Chapel. I would like to ask them this: When the University was deciding whether to admit African-

Americans,

should

the

administration have “ascertained the opinion of the entire Duke community, via mailings to alumni and... a student, faculty and staffreferendum?” Any guesses as to what the outcome would have been?

Some decisions are not a matter of opinion, but ofprin-

ciple. I applaud President Keohane’s leadership on the question of same-sex unions in the Chapel, Laurel Ferejohn Director, Duke Continuing Education Programs for Short Courses and Information Technology Training

Support referendum on morning-after pill availability A few weeks ago students signed a petition urging that we vote on whether the morning after pill should be included in the student health fee.

Unfortunately, many students were misinformed and some even said they felt tricked into signing the petition.

The fact is, that up until this year, the morning after pill has been included in the

student health fee. This measure will only raise the health fee as little as five cents per student.

It is scary to think that our right to preventative health care could be revoked. The morning after pill is not an abortion nor is it a regular form of birth control—unless you enjoy throwing up all night. The pill is security in

that scary, uncertain and unfortunate time when the condom breaks, or someone pressures you into having unprotected sex, or, worse, you’re date raped.

Please vote yes to include the morning after pill in the student health fee.

Vote for the bond issue to aid all of North Carolina As a member of the Duke faculty, I would like to add my voice to those urging everyone to get out and vote in support of the higher education bond referendum on this year’s election ballot.

I do so not just in support of our friends and colleagues at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University and North Carolina Central University, but on behalfof our communities and the future of North

Carolina.

With Duke’s increasingly close ties to UNC—witness the Robertson fellows—and NCSU—the new joint graduate program in linguistics—Duke faculty might even be said to have a vested interest in the success of the bond referendum.

But it is really in the interest of the larger community and the state as a whole that I ask everyone connected with Duke to vote yes on the higher education bond issue. The best possible pub-

lie higher education is essential to us all, and the bond will both meet crucial current needs and also open new possibilities on every campus in the system. Our future is at stake, and our system of public higher education needs to be ready to meet its many challenges in the years and decades to come.

Mayor of Charlotte, 1991-95; Charlotte City Council, 1983-91

EDUCATION 8.A., Political Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; J.D., North Carolina Central University School of Law SCOTT APPLEWHITEMP

In

his position as N.C. attorney general, Easley earned nationwide recognition for his efforts in the national tobacco settlement, which ended in a $206 billion agreement—including almost $5 billion that was earmarked for North Carolinian farmers, communities and public health.

Perhaps still playing the role of defendant of North Carolinians, Easley continues a focus on patient’s rights in his gubernatorial campaign.

Easley believes patients should be guaranteed quick internal appeals if a health maintenance organization denies them coverage. Following appeal, he thinks patients should be able to sue if the matter is unresolved.

Easley also says HMOs should ensure children access to pediatricians—not just general practitioners.

Of particular interest to senior citizens, Easley has proposed spending $2O to $3O million to help cover costs of prescription drugs.

Easley’s education platform favors smaller class sizes, teacher recertification programs and expanding pre-kindergarten programs such as Smart Start. He is against vouchers, worrying that they would lead to a lack of accountability in the education system.

He has also expressed interest in furthering character education in N.C. schools.

Easley recently revisited the lottery issue, a topic that won him widespread support in the Democratic primary. “Every time someone from North Carolina buys a lottery ticket in another state, it costs our children money that could go to improving our own schools,” an Easley campaign brochure reads.

Coincidence

or not, Charlotte grew tremendously during the years that Vinroot was at the helm of the city council. The city developed a significant public transportation program and landed a professional football team and a gleamglass skyscraper, home to Bank ofAmerica. ing As mayor, Vinroot developed a “managed competition” program, whereby private companies bid to perform services normally controlled by city government. According to Ed Sizer, who directs the program, the privatization of trash collection has saved the city about $l4 million over five years.

Vinroot said his top priority if elected governor would be to extend accountability to the state’s budget, noting that state spending has doubled in the last ten years while the state debt has quadrupled. “First we need a Taxpayer Protection Act to limit spending,” Vinroot said in a statement. “After we get spending under control and cut waste, we can turn to cutting taxes, so we no longer pay the highest tax rates in the Southeast.”

Vinroot’s plans for health care mirrors Easley’s with a few exceptions. Vinroot advocates an independent board to handle HMO disputes and supports the creation of tax-free medical savings accounts to provide for routine and extraordinary health care expenses.

Like Easley, education has dominated much of Vinroot’s speeches and advertising this election. Vinroot supports merit-based pay and competency testing, expanding current charter school initiatives and implementing a voucher system.

Vinroot is strongly against a lottery, calling such a scheme a regressive tax that

advocates gambling.

1985-86 Education: 8.A., Education, Meredith College If elected lieutenant governor, 64-ycar-old Cochrane of Clemmons, N.C., vows to make education her number one priority. She

credits her 11 years as a teacher in both public and private schools with giving her insight into the stale’s school system.

“It makes me want teachers to have adequate training... so they can be successful,” she said. Cochrane added that principals must be properly trained, as they often set the tone for a school. She said parents should instill a respect for education in their children.

Like many other Republicans, Cochrane supports private school vouchers. However, she is not as vocal as others in her party.

“I’m not going to do anything that would harm public schools,” she said. “I’d like to see us try it in North Carolina and see what works.”

To this end, Cochrane proposes testing a system of vouchers in a small, a medium and a large school district. She said vouchers will accommodate the options that families need in educational decisions.

A proponent of the North Carolina community college system, Cochrane wants to ensure that each college’s curriculum prepares students for the highest-paying jobs available in their area. To do this, she is placing a great emphasis on funding technology updates for many ofthese colleges.

Fifty-two-year-old Perdue of New Bern, N.C., entered the political scene after working as a director of aging at a regional hospital, where she was frustrated with the state system. She served twice as a member of the North Carolina House and is now a fifth-term member of the Senate.

Although she worked for a time as a teacher, Perdue, 53, credits her family for emphasizing the importance of an education. “My views... were shaped long before I was an educator,” she said, pointing to her father’s shame over never having received a high

school diploma.

Perdue proposes increasing spending on the current public school system to make it stronger. “The ability to change schools lies in the local communities,” she said, suggesting that more money should go to the actual schools rather than specific state programs.

Perdue, who has the endorsement of the North Carolina Association of Educators, also supports raising teachers’ salaries in an effort to attract recent graduates to the field.

She is firmly against any kind of school voucher program, saying that it is not feasible in much of the state.

“If you live in rural North Carolina, there is no alternative to the public system,” Perdue said.

Towey believes privacy, education, crime and 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.

In the House, Ward would focus on culling taxes, bringing power lo local levels and improving education.

“People deserve belter representation than they have,” he said. “The representatives arc not doing a good job, we should get money back to the stale. I also feel a calling lo 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 people’s lives.

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

BOND ISSUE

The $3.1 billion plan is targeted at renovating and constructing buildings as well as purchasing land for the state’s universities and community colleges. It would be one of the largest higher education bond issues in U.S. history.

The 16-campus University of North Carolina system would receive $2.5 billion, and 59 community colleges would get $6OO million.

If approved, the project could double the state’s debt, but proponents say the risk is worth the reward—preparing the slate’s colleges campuses for an expected 30 percent increase in enrollment by the end of the decade.

Punishing the good deeds

Gov. Bush s plan to reform Social Security does not address the program’s future revenue shortcomings has given us a lot of breathing room. The even try to do what he claims that proThe reality is that the pressure to system can run as is until at least 2037; posal will do.

Reckonings cut benefits would begin as soon as the Paul Krugman It started with a good deed. Back in the 1980s Congress decided to act responsibly, making early provision for a crisis that, though predictable, was still

30 years away.

Until the 1980s Social Security had been run on a pure pay-as-you-go basis: Just about all of each year’s tax receipts were used to pay current benefits. But by 1980 it was

modest additional measures could easily extend its life to 2050 and beyond.

But any political action that takes such a long view risks being undermined by later politicians, who will be tempted to raid the cookie jar. Which brings us to the current dispute.

Bush wants to rescind that 2 percent tax increase. True, he doesn’t propose to give it back in cash, but he wants to put it into personal accounts, which would belong mainly to young workers and therefore be unavailable to support the currently middle-aged workers that reserve was sup-

already clear that, beginning some 30 years later, this system would run into big trouble.

The baby boomers are the villains: Once the boomers start to retire, the number of workers paying into Social Security will plateau, while the number ofretirees the system must support will soar. Right now there are about 3.4 workers for every retiree; by 2030 there will be only two. So a pay-as-you-go system forces drastic tax increases, drastic benefit cuts, or both.

What Congress did in the 1980s was to raise Social Security taxes —a moderate increase, 2 percentage points—in order to ward off much more severe consequences later. In the runup to the demographic crisis, the system would build up a large reserve, postponing the day of reckoning, perhaps even putting it off entirely. It may not be a permanent solution, but it

And?

For surely there must be an “and.”

Even now most coverage makes excuses for Bush’s non-plan, saying that it doesn’t threaten the benefits of today’s retirees because there is still enough money to maintain benefits at current levels for 20 years or so. But

diversion of taxes into individual accounts was put into effect; many of today’s retirees would feel the pinch.

Maybe, if Bush wins, he will reveal a secret plan—one that pretty much has to involve benefit cuts, because that’s moving the goal posts. where else can he find the money? (The The whole demand for reform of budget surplus will have been elimiSocial Security has been driven by nated by tax cuts.)

Or maybe he will tell a bipartisan charges that the system is unsustainable in the long run—now, suddenly, commission to devise a plan, and then we’re supposed to accept a “reform” blame the Democrats for the commisthat actually cuts the system’s remainsion’s inability to find away to create ing life by 14 years? something from nothing.

another purpose, we have to do something else—cut benefits, transfer in additional money from

other sources, something.

Right?

But Bush has never finished his sentence. His ads continue to proclaim that he will put Social Security on a sound financial footing—but his proposal does nothing, literally nothing, to shore up the system’s finances. It doesn’t even try. This isn’t even a debatable issue—there are no measures to debate.

I’m not sure why the press corps has done such a bad job of making this clear.

Maybe reporters just don’t dare say that the governor has no clothes, that a key proposal by the man who may well be president contains no measures that

THREE BLIND MICE uncover Duke’s Monday, Monday THREE BLIND MICE Well looky here, tomorrow’s the big (election) day.

Now some of you just might be turned on by Al’s PDA or awed by W.’s folly, but we urge you to look beyond this duo of goony hopefuls. And to all you undecided voters out there—weigh your options and make those votes count. Fed up with the “no choice no democracy” bit? Lose your chalk and mock the vote by choosing R. U. Sirius of The Revolution. Or maybe promote free sex and witchcraft by voting for Judy Swann of the Pansexual Peace Party. Help put the ‘racy’ back in democracy! But hey, maybe you’re ready for a different sort of change... so how about Jack Grimes of the United Fascist Union? Really, guys—‘uninformed’ doesn’t mean you’re voting for good looks, it means you’re simply not aware of all the possibilities. (And for the record, these parties are actually real.)

But while our country (’tis of thee) maintains a guise of democracy with its slew of superfluous candidates, our dear old Duke (thy name we’ll sing) is really just a nightmarish authoritarian regime. All this talk about elections has got us thinking—are we being had? What if we’re merely pegs in a powerful political machine?

Does anyone really know who the bursar and the registrar actually are? And the million-dollar question: Who is Thomas Black? No wonder this guy contacts us via e-mail. Not only does that preserve his anonymity, but he also knows his messages will get to us. As opposed to what, you ask? Are you even ask=

Once again, the dollar is king, enabling sudden reassignments from Trent 3 to House P. Who ever said college isn’t like the real world? Come on. The Gothic Wonderland is one big front. So much behind-thescenes work, it’s like a large-scale mafia operation.

As for the headquarters of this operation? The Oak Room. It certainly has the innocuous facade of a regular campus eatery with smiling Diana at the helm. But they’re up to something.

First off, the excess wood paneling makes us nervous—it just has trap door written all over it. But who wants to complain when the alternate option is dining with Uncle Leo in the back room? And let’s ponder the fact that the Oak Room closes its doors at 8 p.m. This is not Florida, ladies and gentlemen.

Something’s going down after hours.

And before you chalk this up to an absurd grand notion of ours, we would like to present Exhibit A: the Gothic Reading Room Donor Dinner. Did any of you literate paupers happen upon the secret schmooze-fest last weekend?

While the papa and mama mice ushered us to the Cantina for $1 quesadillas, a couple dozen grayhaired money bags plotted the naming of the new

This puts us college students in a small predicament: a) revert to high school tactics of having the parents call in, or b) suck it up and go it alone, following the oh-so-democratic practice of letter-writing. Since we all know that writing a letter to Bill Burig is about as effective as writing a letter to your Congressman, we really can’t be too surprised to hear that parents are

name would look better on the bench. Don’t be fooled—we undergraduates are but pawns in a largescale conspiracy without any semblance of democracy. Talk about taxation without representation. At least in the land of the free we’re fed with yummy token ballots.

Dukies pick Lincoln, Williams, Gonzales (Speedy) for president � THE IDEAL CANDIDATE from page 1 “First, as Ronald Reagan said, a good president has to be a great actor or actress...,” said Hough. “To be frank, it is not likely to matter all that much who is president in non-crisis situations.”

As such, Hough believes voters look for a president with a good crisis-personality, someone who “knows how to play symbolic politics... and is likely to have good judgment in a crisis.”

Reynolds Price, James B. Duke professor ofEnglish, is also voting for a president to carry the nation through

“I’d pick Abraham Lincoln in every election till the end of time,” said Price, citing Lincoln’s leadership during the Civil War. “How I wish I could at least have had a meal with him. Every American should read, at a minimum, one good biography of him.”

Although this is a futuristic election, there are still third-party candidates, and even fourth and fifth parties splitting the vote, as Dukies begin looking to unique places for potential presidential candidates.

Sophomore Sarah Bagley will be voting for Robin Williams in this election. “He’s a riot. He’s smart too,”

tough times. His choice? Abraham Lincoln.

In a surprise vote, cartoon character Speedy Gonzales will be receiving sophomore Caroline Kessler’s support.

“He could run from country to country without having to do the whole jet thing,” Kessler said.

Other candidates include Colin Powell, Ronald Reagan, former Major League Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth and Mark Twain.

But in this election, perhaps the greatest surprise of all is who isn’t winning votes: Martin Sheen.

After all, he may not be a president, but at least he plays one on TV. Elizabeth Brown contributed to this story.

Inequality of counsel spurs debate over death penalty MORATORIUM from page 7 James Coleman, a Duke law professor, agreed that there is also a socio-economic imbalance in death penalty cases because some people cannot afford private defenders and must use “chancy” public defenders.

“Some ofthem are getting good counsel and some are not, and that’s a major factor,” he said. “It might be that the quality ofcounsel doesn’t make the difference... but if it’s the lucky people who are getting off, not the worst people, then we need to fix the problem.”

Although only two of the panel participants were against the moratorium, the other 16 supported it in varying degrees; some of them supported the death penalty while others did not. Those supporting the moratorium emphasized the need to amend the system.

Stephen Dear, director of People ofFaith Against the Death Penalty, said that Illinois established a committee to reevaluate the legal system. “[The committee report! said that prosecutors need to seek justice, not merely a conviction,” he added. “The fact is that there are innocent people sentenced to death, when we have the capacity to prevent that.”

Dear noted that in North Carolina, defendants have only 30 days to present any new evidence. After that time period, the decision can be reversed only if the governor stays the execution, pardons the inmate or commutes the sentence to life in prison.

Although Tye Hunter, an attorney at the Office of the Appellate Defenders, acknowledged that there are inequities in the current system, he added that he still believes there are too many people slipping through the cracks. “I’m not so much concerned that there are peo-

ple guilty of murder, who don’t have good enough lawyers to get them off,” he said. “My concern is that there are guilty people getting away.”

PANELISTS from various fields including academia, the clergy, psychology and law met Friday to discuss the possibility of a moratorium on executions in North Carolina. Only two of the 18 panelists opposed a moratorium, although some did support the death penalty.

Frye, Lake promise more cash for courts � CHIEF JUSTICE from page 1 and is, for all intents and purposes, the chief executive officer for the state judicial system, overseeing judges, magistrates, clerks in all 100 counties and a budget of

$361 billion.

Frye and Lake have similar backgrounds: Both served in the military, practiced law privately, and began their political careers in the General Assembly. Both have been moderate on the bench, reflecting the conservative culture of Southern courts. And neither will be able to finish his eight-year term due to the mandatoiy retirement age of 72. Lake is 66; Frye is 68.

But there are differences, too. Frye had a rural upbringing, working temporarily in a New York slaughterhouse before serving in the Air Force and returning to North Carolina, where he attended law school at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and founded first a law firm and later the Greensboro National Bank.

As the son of a North Carolina Supreme Court justice, Lake was already familiar with the stately side of downtown Raleigh. Yet it wasn’t until after he had been through the Air Force, practiced law for the attorney general’s office, and served in the state senate that he found his way to the bench of a superior court.

There are also philosophical differences, said Ted Arrington, political science professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte—differences the candidates can’t state due to the nature of their positions. “In general, their philosophies reflect their political parties,” said Arrington. “Lake would be more likely to uphold a capital sentence than Frye, and Frye would be more likely to find in favor of the worker in a labor dispute.”

Henry Frye

ROBERT

A SOLEMN

SALUTE

A salute to veterans was held at 3 p.m. Sunday at Griffith Auditorium in the Bryan Center. The event featured speakers who served in combat during World War I, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm. Bob Wilson, above, spoke about his experiences in Vietnam.

Frye stressed his experience both in business and the courts as strengths in his role as chief justice. When he was appointed chief justice, Frye was the most senior member of the Supreme Court; he served in the state legislature for 14 years and as a senior partner ofhis law firm for two decades, in addition to founding and running his Greensboro bank.

He was reluctant to compare himself to Lake. “I try not to get into defining my opponent,” Frye said. “I try to list my experiences and my continuing commitment.”

Frye said his top priorities include creating a faster, more efficient judicial system, improving accessibility to the courts and protecting the integrity of the court sys■ tern. And-if those -seem like esoteric goals, Frye wants to

meet them with a list of concrete objectives. He said he would work to bring the most qualified attorneys and personnel to the court system, strengthen training for court personnel and update aging technology in the court system.

Like Lake, Frye has promised to get increased funding for North Carolina’s courts. “I think the biggest challenge to the court system has been the chronic underfunding of the courts such that we are overloaded in the way we handle cases at the trial level,” he said.

He also would like to see the “family court” program expanded. Family courts—where judges hear all matters relating to families, and where coordinators work with families to solve problems—exist in eight N.C. districts.

Frye framed the race in the context of job security.

“The question is whether I keep my job and [Lake] will remain on the court as associate justice or whether I lose my job,” he said.

I. Beverly Lake Lake gives three reasons why he should be elected chief justice; He can serve longer, he believes his trial lawyer days give him broader experience than his opponent, and he believes he has a better agenda.

Lake said that as chief justice he would prioritize increasing the general public’s understanding ofthe legal system. “The main thing I would like to do is to initiate some programs, primarily in our public schools, that would educate young people on the great value of our legal system,” he said, adding that one practical way to do this would be to create a video series to be used in public schools and distributed to public libraries.

Lake is also in favor oftelevising court cases on a limited basis. “I think we could bring cameras into the court room in appropriate situations... so people don’t have to get their ideas from Judge Judy and various other sources,” said Lake.

Some of the largest problems that the legal system faces, said Lake, stem from a lack of cooperation by the General Assembly to create new judgeships in some areas ofthe state. “I think it needs to be done because we have a serious backlog [of cases] in many of our counties,” he said, adding that he also needed to work with trial court administrators and judges to speed things up.

“We have courtrooms sitting idle while there are court cases waiting to be heard,”Lake said, explaining that the backlog is made worse because the G.A. has not assigned new court reporters, as many judges have requested.

Bush, Gore clash on value of partnering with industry � RESEARCH POLICY from page 1 “Congressman Price has been working very hard to make sure the federal commitment to research is strong,” said Thomas Bates, Price’s press secre-

tary. “The best approach has been to make sure the overall pot of money is big enough to allow schools and other institutions to apply for these funds and get them on a meritorious basis.”

Price’s opponent, Cary Town Council member Jess Ward, would also keep research funding at a high level and would try to lure more high-tech industries and jobs to the Triangle with tax credit incentives. Ward is especially concerned with increasing biomedical and defense research funding.

“We’re in a new era with respect for defense...” he said. “I believe in the last eight years that this particular administration has used a lot of resources but not invested in [defense] as much as it should have.”

Despite the lack of specifics, the vice demonstrated this commitment over the past eight years.

“We saw a lot of importance of funding for research under the ClintonCore administration,” said Pascal Goldschmidt, chief of cardiology at the Medical Center. “I assume Gore would follow that policy.”

Gore has stated a preference for academic research as opposed to corporate.

His website asserts that “priority should be given to university-based research” because colleges are a training ground for future scientists and engineers. In that vein, the vice president has proposed creating 20 biomedical computing centers on campuses nationwide. president has

Gore also backs partnerships between universities and industries—an idea Bush eschews. Despite Duke’s proximity to the corporations of the The presidential candidates Triangle, industry partnerships fund only 4 percent of the research done at Governor Bush hopes to increase the University.

By knocking off top-seeded Clemson 1-0 Friday night, the fifth-seeded Blue Devils (13-7-1, 6-4 in the ACC) earned the right for the shot to spoil perennial ACC champion North Carolina’s shot at a 13th straight ACC Tournament Championship.

But Sunday’s modern-day David vs. Goliath matchup would not be a repeat of history’s favorite Cinderella story.

Perhaps what somebody didn’t tell Duke is that, unlike the biblical story in which David needed a single rock to slay the giant, it was going to take much more than one shot to beat the Goliath of North Carolina on the soccer field Sunday.

MATT KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE

CARLOS BOOZER had a huge game including a double-double in the Blue Devils’ 99-61 victory over EA California Sports. The sophomore lead Duke with 22 points and 10 rebounds. his Tweaking deep lineup, Krzyzewski was able to play almost everyone, subbing frequently and in bulk—often three or more players at a time—to test out on-court combinations and connections.

“Subbing can hurt your continuity a little bit, but I wanted to see what guys could do in game situations,” he said.

“Andre Sweet had some very good minutes. He played good defense.”

Sweet, who is only a freshman, played 15 minutes.

As for Cota’s mysterious absence, AllStar coach Phil Bryant also did not know where the former Carolina point guard was.

“He did not show up for our game [Friday! night,” Bryant said. “He left the practice with his family and did not return. We hope everything’s okay.”

Duke’s Williams, though, did not miss his former rival. For he and the Blue Devils, finally playing an opponent was most important.

“We did a lot better in the second half” Williams said. “In the first half, it was clear it was our first game and our first time playing together. A lot of people led in different ways tonight. Chris Duhon is very composed and hustles his butt off. Casey Sanders had a dunk over somebody, which was unexpected. I was just excited to play basketball.”

Note: Although Battier did not play Saturday because of a sprained foot, but does intend to resume practicing Monday. Also, students who plan to attend the game against Army over Thanksgiving break need to go by Cameron and have their DukeCards validated starting tomorrow.

Boozer dominates inside for Blu e Devils in Saturday’s exhibition Twenty-three seconds into the game and he had already made his presence known.

After stripping the ball from EA Sports’ Kenny Price, Carlos Boozer took a Jason Williams pass and sent it through the basket with a dunk that left the rim shaking.

Evan Davis Game Commentary Hello, Carlos After showing spurts of brilliance mixed with freshman mistakes last season, Boozer is back, gne year older and eager to prove himself.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski noticed his sophomore center’s improvement.

“He had a preseason” Krzyzewski said. “Last year he had a broken foot, he didn’t even start practice until the second week. Especially the younger players, you need all that individual work and conditioning. He's way ahead. He’s a lot better than he was last year.”

A bold statement, but undoubtedly a deserved one.

Boozer dominated the post, regularly abusing EA Sports’ Joe Vogel on his way to scoring 22 points and recording 10 rebounds.

His inside presence was equally dominant on the defensive end. Boozer’s three steals tied for the game high, and his tenacious coverage held Vogel to only eight points on just 3-for-9 shooting.

“I've gqt a whole year under my belt and I know what to expect from myself” said Boozer. “[My] defense had to pick up. That was one ofthe key things. That's how you win games—by playing defense.”

While impressive, Boozer’s stats don’t come close to conveying hig dominance on Saturday night. He played only 24 minutes, and did so without the assistance of fellow post player Shane Battier.

“I think Carlos will have better looks with Shane in,” Krzyzewski said.

“Carlos played extremely well. He had to make moves; when you have Shane in there you've got to guard Shane, [meaning] the post can hardly ever be doubled. Tonight at times we didn’t have a second big man; or when our second big man was in they didn’t look at him like Shane. I thought Carlos’ performance was excellent tonight.”

To Boozer, however, Battier’s absence meant more than the loss of his inside presence. The team was playing without its fiery leader, who remained on the bench with a sprained foot.

“There’s no question that without Shane we’re a different team,” Boozer said. “With Shane not being out there we all work harder to communicate better and talk more. It was a good team effort.”

Battier echoed his coach’s sentiments

“The great thing about tonight is that Carlos didn’t step up because I was down, he’s been stepping up all year long,” the senior captain said. “He’s a much improved player from last year.”

Curtis leads Duke scorching towards ACC tourney Senior Ali Curtis broke Dukes all-time scoring record with the winning goal against Wake Forest on Saturday ByADmENNEMERCER

,

ii i Tri ere was a sparkle in their eyes. ay e i was t e misty weather or the cnsp nig air. ay e i was the fact mi

fact that one of those seniors, Ali Curtis, needed only one goal to become Duke’s all-time leading scorer. But the look said it all. Magic was in the air at Koskinen Stadium Saturday night for the men s soccer team that could not be matched by anything, and certainly not

by their opponents, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, as Duke defeated

them 2-1.

“The story is those seven seniors out there, they want to go out on top and a seven seniors were paying in they are going to do everything they their ast regular season game or the can do to make that happen,” coach John Rennie said.

When the game was tied 1-1 in the waning minutes of the second half, the Blue Devils were struggling offensively.

Wake Forest had some intense coverage on Duke’s top scorers and also had all their men covering the goal that made it virtually impossible to make that final score.

Curtis had the ball on the drive to the goal and made a shot from the left side. The ball flew back as fast as he had kicked it. There was a battle over possession close to the net when senior Dwayne Harris got the ball and sidekicked it back to Curtis, and in a flash, he netted the game-winning goal in the 85th minute.

“It feels great, this goal was especially tough to get because Wake Forest is a great team and it was an ACC battle,” Curtis said. “It feels great to get the record. Coming into Duke I didn’t think I would get the scoring title, but it happened and it was a great team effort. I’m glad I got the goal but everyone was a part of this record and everyone was a part of this win.”

The Demon Deacons scored early in the first half, when Wake Forest player Jaron Barbee scored in the 21st minute with Jerry White assisting. The Blue Devils had some trouble gaining control of the ball, and the future of the game looked dim at halftime.

In the 64th minute, Duke sophomore Trevor Perea was put into the game to substitute junior Demitrio Sanchez. Not even two minutes later, Perea scored his third goal of the seaHtliAN hbU/IHtUMHUNIULt son. Assisting on the goal was senior MAN OF THE HOUR Ali Curtis celebrates in dramatic fashion after scoring the game winning goal Nii-Amar Amamoo and freshman Jordan Cila. against Wake Forest. Curtis broke Blue Devils’ all-time scoring record.

There was magic, all right. The seniors made the most of their last regular season game. Like Amamoo, who after getting seriously injured early in the second half, wrapped his ankle and ran sprints on the sideline until he was put back in the game. And senior goalkeeper Jeff Haywood who tallied four saves on the night and rallied his team from the net the entire game.

With the win, the Blue Devils finish the season first in the ACC, tied with North Carolina and Virginia. The Blue Devils head to Wake Forest for the ACC tournament Thursday as the No. 3 seed.

“This senior class has had no less than four wins [in the ACC] in each of their four years, which is remarkable,” Rennie said. “This is the third time we’ve either won or tied for the ACC regular season championship in four years.

We’re playing well and we’ve won eight in a row, we just have to continue working hard and doing what we’re doing.”

Blue Devils drop closest game yet to Deacs particularly well acquainted. His three touchdowns on Saturday marked the first ones of his career.

Williams first found paydirt on the game’s opening drive. After the Deacon offense moved the ball to Duke’s 39yard-line, Williams took over. The next three plays consisted of Williams running up the middle, gaining 14,9 and 16 yards, the last of which placed him across the goal line.

“We came out great,” Williams said.

“We had intensity and played hard.

Duke did a great job, but we played powerful offensive football.”

It was that powerful effort that eventually exploited Duke’s weaknesses. While the Blue Devils’ defense held strong for most of the game, it suffered several lapses that allowed Wake’s 101-ranked offense to amass 244 yards on the ground.

“As a defense, I think we’re pretty solid most ofthe time,” commented outside linebacker Ryan Fowler. “It’s the few times that we’re not that the plays break. That’s where we lose the game— the big plays. Not many teams drive on us, it’s just a big break here or there.”

Duke’s offense did its part in trying to combat the defense’s mistakes, Trailing 14-3 late in the third quarter, D. Bryant found an open Mike Hart along the sideline, a play that netted 63 yards and put the ball at the Deacons’ 5-yard-line. One play later, Chris Douglas would run through the right side of the line and find paydirt, A failed two-point conversion left the score at 14-9.

“I had no clue [how open I wash” the Hart said. “I sort of got bumped when I caught the ball and then I was extremely surprised to turn around and see that I had some room to run. That’s the first time that’s happened to me in college really. It was a little disappointing that I ended up getting caught.”

After Williams scored his second touchdown to put Wake ahead 21-9, quarterback D. Bryant led the Blue

By EVAN DAVIS The Chronicle

WINSTON-SALEM Overcast skies and chilling winds set a fitting atmosphere for Duke’s ninth loss of the season.

On a gloomy day at Groves Stadium, the Demon Deacons (1-7,1-5 in the ACC) achieved what neither they nor Duke had been able to do until Saturday; they won a football game. Following their 2826 defeat, the Blue Devils (0-9, 0-6) are forced to continue their quest for their first win this season.

D. Bryant’s 277 passing yards were not enough, as Wake Forest’s Tarence Williams tore through Duke’s defense

for 154 yards rushing and three touchdowns en route to the Deacons’ first vicTory of the year.

The game was closely contested, and in the fourth quarter, Duke looked poised

to achieve the seemingly impossible.

After a Brent Garber field goal cut Wake’s lead to two points with 9:47 to go, Duke looked to its defense to hold the Deacons and put their offense in a position to win the game.

They didn’t.

A week after allowing Maryland’s LaMont Jordan to run for a 77-yard touchdown, the Devils’ defense again showed their susceptibility to the big play.

This time, it was Tarence Williams.

On the Deacs second play of the drive, Williams took the ball on a sweep to left, turning the corner and running past the Devils’ line. Picking up a block or two, Williams continued downfield, shaking Blue Devil tacklers all the way. Williams was in the endzone 72 yards later.

“It was all my offensive line,” the sophomore said of his run, the ninthlongest run in team history. “It was zero percent me and 100 percent the offense, It was a sweep and I saw an opening, The offensive linP made a crack in the defense and I just followed it.”

Coming into the game, the endzone wasn’t an area with which Williams was

CHRIS DOUGLAS attempts to break through the line of scrimmage in Saturday’s game against Wake Forest. Douglas ran for 28 yards on 12 carries.

Devils on a nine-play, 80-yard drive to again close the margin to five.

Completions to Duane Epperson and Ben Erdeljac, along with two Wake Forest penalties, put the Blue Devils on Wake’s 14-yard-line. Bryant took the snap and gave the ball to Epperson, who rolled right and found Kyle Moore in the back comer of the endzone with 13:31 to go in the game.

And while Williams’ 72-yard romp took the wind out of Duke’s sails, the offense still fought back. Trailing by nine with 3:50 to go, Bryant engineered a 13-play, 76-yard drive that included a 4th down completion to Ben Erdeljac and ended with Bryant running up the middle for a 2-yard touchdown.

“Even though the defense gave up that big play, we came back and we scored,” Hart said. “It just goes to show

that we are fighting our asses off out there, putting forth an effort, and not giving up. We’re practicing every single week as hard as we can to be victorious on Saturday.”

With less than a minute on the clock, Duke’s only hope for victory was to attempt an onside kick. After a Duke player touched the ball before allowing it to go ten yards, however, that hope had disappeared. Duke’s best chance for victory had faded, leaving coach Carl Franks tasting defeat for yet another week.

“Wake Forest played better than we did,” he said. ‘They deserved to win the game. We’ll just have to continue to bounce back. I told the team that one of the greatest tests of courage in the world is not to lose heart during defeat.

Our guys haven’t lost heart—we’ll be ready to bounce back.”

game.

It was the

When the Blue Devil football team and its supporters glanced over their schedule for the 2000 season, they knew that if any game would be winnable, it would be their Nov. 4 contest against Wake Forest.

However, after losing to the Demon Deacons 28-26 despite their strongest offensive output of the season, Duke must now truly consider an outcome that seemed unlikely to even its most ardent supporters in the preseason—the specter of a winless season, the second in only five years.

Craig Saperstein Game Commentary Needless to say, the defeat at the hands oftheir in-state rival was a bitter pill to swallow.

“It’s truly indescribable how upset I am right now,” Blue Devil tight end Mike Hart said after his team’s loss.

“All year we’ve been given opportunities and all year we’ve found ways to destroy them. I don’t know how to describe how I feel right now, but I feel pretty lousy.”

And this lousy feeling has only been augmented by the number of big plays that the Blue Devils have sacrificed or have not taken advantage of throughout the season and more specifically, in its bout with the Deacons.

Time after time, Duke proved that it could dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, stifling the Wake Forest running attack and having

and this phenomenon could not have been truer Saturday.

An example of this inability to take advantage of important opportunities occurred midway through the first quarter, when Duke received the football inside Wake’s territory after Duke linebacker Ryan Fowler’s sack of quarterback Anthony Young forced the Deacons to punt from inside their own red zone. At first, the Blue Devils seemed destined to capitalize from this auspicious situation, as quarterback D. Bryant hit a freshman wide receiver on a 16-yard third-down pass conversion that put Duke on the Wake Forest 29 yard line.

Three plays later, another freshman wideout got into the mix, as Bryant hit Jeremy Battier for a 10-yard gain and another Blue Devil first down, this time at the Wake 14. Then, after a fiveyard run by Chris Douglas, the Demon Deacons gave Duke a valuable opportunity to put points on the board when a member of the Wake Forest secondary was called for pass interference on an attempt from Bryant to Battier, giving the Blue Devils a first-and-goal from the five-yard line.

However, three incomplete passes later, one of which was dropped by Hart near the end zone, Duke was forced to settle for a field goal instead of the seemingly inevitable touchdown they had desired. Instead of tying the Deacs, it would have to settle for cutting the lead to 7-3. Clearly, the Blue Devils had failed to capitalize on a great opportunity to steal the lead, as well as the momentum, away from the home team in Groves Stadium.

“If it was physically possible, then I wanted to catch it,” Hart said of his crucial dropped pass. “It might have been a difficult catch, but it was a

The Duke defensive and special Williams, which padded his team’s lead against their opponent’s inexperienced teams also performed admirably just enough to secure a victory. defense. But only a few plays can “As a defense, I think we’re pretty solid throughout most ofthe game, but sacrichange the entire outcome of a game, ficed a few game-breaking plays that most ofthe time,” Fowler said.“It’s the few times that we’re not that the few plays break. That’s where we lose the game—the big plays. Not many teams drive on us, it’s just a big break here or there.”

Despite giving up the plays that broke its back, Duke can take away a few positive aspects to build upon for its remaining schedule. Foremost among these aspects was the consistently hard play demonstrated on both sides of the ball, an asset that the Blue Devils have exemplified throughout the season.

And with this competitive effort, the Blue Devils can relish the fact that they almost came away with a victory even though they made a number of mistakes. In fact, after narrowing Wake’s lead to 28-26 with less than two minutes left in the contest, Duke almost came away with an onsides kick attempt that would have given them one more chance to steal the win.

But when the Deacons recovered the football from the onsides kick, reality reared its ugly head and the Blue Devils knew that they had let another one slip away. They can only hope that this will be the last time that this alltoo-familiar outcome would occur, especially since they conclude their season with battles against their two mosthated rivals, N.C. State and North Carolina, two games in which Duke will be the considerable underdog.

“We got to dig down these last two games and just play with a lot of heart, because we got chances,” wide receiver Kyle Moore said. “If we don’t give up these chances, we’ll be in these games and we D BRYANT drops back to pass against the Demon Deacons this Saturday.

Athletes inaction: Blue Devils roll over exhibition squad Duke easily triumphed 111-73 over Athletes in Action Friday night without the help of Gingrich at guard and Parent on the boards

By THOMAS STEINBERGER The Chronicle

Duke’s top-rated recruiting class wasted little time in showing its skill at its season-opening exhibition game against Athletes in Action Friday night.

Led by freshman Alana Beard’s 28 points and six steals, the No. 5 Blue Devils rolled 111-73 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Beard capped a tenacious effort that forced Athletes in Action into a staggering 31 turnovers as Duke stormed out to a 21-2 lead over a slower and less deep opponent.

“We were excited to play our first game,” senior co-captain Georgia Schweitzer said. ‘We have a lot to be proud of.”

Coach Gail Goestenkors used her deep bench extensively, establishing a high-tempo offense and pressure defense that fatigued an Athletes in Action team playing its third game in as many days.

“We have been working a lot on fastbreaks and we did that well tonight,” Schweitzer said.

Indeed, Duke ran all over its opponent, racking up 23 steals and holding it to a 32-percent mark from the floor in the first half.

The explosive performance showed that Duke may have the depth and the balance up front and in the backcourt to repeat its Final Four run of two years ago.

Friday’s game also exposed some of the Blue Devils’ potential weaknesses as.

“We can be very good,” said Goestenkors about her squad. “We understand what we need to wT ork on: zone defense and rebounding.”

The coach’s concerns were valid as, despite the extremely lopsided score, Duke struggled at times with its halfcourt defense.

The Blue Devils often seemed shaky in guarding the perimeter, as Athletes in Action shot 48 percent from the field in the second half and drained 11

three-pointers.

One question Duke must worry about is how it will react when it faces higherquality teams that will not be fazed by the constant pressure.

We controlled the tempo, [but] we need to work on our defense,” Schweitzer said.

The Blue Devils built much of their lead off turnovers Friday and will likely need to do a stronger job in the halfcourt set if it expects to repeat last year’s ACC championship.

One particular area of concern is rebounding, where Duke managed just a 33-31 advantage against a team the Blue Devils probably should have dominated underneath.

As Beard succinctly put it: “We can’t grab boards.”

With junior point guard Krista Gingrich injured, Goestenkors may also have to juggle the spot between several players at the beginning of the season.

ball-handling responsibilities. She made the adjustment smoothly in the nine minutes of action she saw.

“I’ve been playing the point a lot and that’s been a tough transition,” Schweitzer said. “I felt like I had it in control most of the time, but there’s room for improvement.”

One area that does not seem to be a problem for Duke is scoring, as all 12

Blue Devils who played had at least one basket, shooting an impressive 61 percent from the field.

Beard and fellow freshman Iciss Tillis were particular bright spots, teaming for 46 points, 10 steals and 13 rebounds in just a combined 37 minutes.

Freshman Alana Beard pours in 28 points in Cameron debut The Duke faithful who attended Friday night’s exhibition game against Athletes in Action were treated to a glimpse ofthe next four years of Duke women’s basketball.

With returning starters Krista Gingrich and Rochelle Parent out, the top-rated freshman class in the nation was asked to step up—and it answered.

Tyler Rosen Game Commentary One minute into the game, Duke was winning 4-2 when freshman Alana Beard stripped the ball from ALA’s Misti Halley and sprinted downcourt for an uncontested layup.

On the next possession, Beard’s tight defense forced an errant pass that Georgia Schweitzer intercepted.

She then passed it on to freshman Iciss Tillis, who scored an easy layup.

Then, on the very next possession, Beard blocked an AIA shot out of bounds. She then stole the inbounds pass, ran the court and made another layup. After AIA missed a shot, Beard passed to Tillis, who drained a three-pointer. Before AIA could score, Tillis stole the ball, lost it, stole it again and got another breakaway layup. Two Duke freshman had just rolled off 11 straight points in what would end up being the game’s decisive 19-0 run.

Beard was extremely modest afterwards.

“The run was a team effort,” Beard said. “It was the defense mainly. I just played my part.”

Beard, a 5-foot-11 high school All-American from Frierson, La., was undoubtedly the star of Friday night’s game. She finished the game with 28 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 steals. She did this in only 20 minutes of play. In fact, after only 12 minutes and 43 seconds of regulation play into her Duke career, Beard had scored 20 points.

But Beard’s game was even more impressive than her line. She demonstrated a remarkable versatility as she excelled at nearly every aspect of the game.

She hit both three-pointers she attempted, including one with an AIA defender in her face. She fought hard for rebounds, leading the team with seven. She demonstrated nice driving skills and cut through the AIA defense to score in the paint. She constantly harried the AIA point, Halley, who committed 10 turnovers under the pressure. Beard was listed as having made six steals, but she forced a great number more.

Additionally, Beard showed the sort of hustle that will quickly make her a favorite with the Cameron Crazies. After losing a ball in the second half, Beard dove onto the press table to try to save it.

Duke led 94-59 at that point.

The only knock on Beard’s game was her propensity for turning the ball over. She had four in the game.

But Beard also seemed to turn the ball over often.

Starting alongside Beard was Iciss Tillis, 6-4 high school All-American from Tulsa, Okla. She finished the game with 18 points, six rebounds and four steals in just 17 minutes of play. She was smooth from behind the arc, hitting on two of three attempts. She was also more consistent, only giving the ball away

Coming in off the bench, three other Blue Devil freshman made solid contributions.

Rometra Craig, 5-10 daughter of former San Francisco 49er Roger Craig and the cousin of former men’s player Corey Maggette, was the third freshman to score in double figures with 11. The former high school All-American from Portola Valley, Calif., also had three steals. She showed a lot of energy when harassing the ALA point guards and showed impressive moves that suggest she might be the best penetrating guard on this year’s team.

Also contributing at the point was 5-5 guard Vicki Krapohl. The freshman from Mount Pleasant, Mich, provided very solid play at point guard, distributing three assists, while giving up two turnovers, and making three steals. She also netted five points.

Coach Gail Goestenkors was excited about her young team’s shooting.

“I am really proud of the freshmen,” she said. “They have been playing really hard and they came out and had really good moments.”

Beard echoed her comments. “[The freshmen] were ready to play,” she said. “We got our jitters out and got out there and played really well at times.”

Top ranked Blue Devils finish 2nd in Hilton Head last weekend

By THOMAS STEINBERGER The Chronicle After opening the fall season with three straight victories, the women’s golf team slipped to second

place Sunday at the Rolex/Golf World Palmetto Dunes Collegiate Invitational.

An experienced Auburn squad posted a final round 291 to beat a talented but young Duke team by five strokes, ending their run at a perfect fall at Hilton Head, S.C. “They are pretty seasoned, they know how to handle this stuff,” coach Dan Brooks said of Auburn’s win.

“They know we haven’t won this tournament in the past. Everyone was pretty fired up to tiy and win it.”

VIRADA NIRAPATHPONGPORN tees off for the Blue Devils in a recent match. Duke finished second this weekend at Hilton Head.

The Blue Devils lived up to their top ranking early on, shooting an impressive four-under 288 on Friday in taking a seven stroke lead over the strongest field they will face this fall. Duke struggled over the weekend with no player breaking par, and freshman star Virada Nirapathpongporn posting a disappointing 76 on Sunday.

Brooks remained upbeat about the tournament, though, emphasizing the team’s impressive performance in the first round.

“We got off to a good start [Friday] at four-under,” said Brooks of his teams up and down performance. “I’m not really sure why we went high [Saturday], it might have been a bit of a coincidence, it might have been little expectations after coming off a hot round.”

Youth may have been the biggest factor for a team containing two sophomores and two freshmen. Duke also misses the play of Beth Bauer, an All-American last year who chose in August to forego her junior season to turn professional. The Blue Devils may have been able to use Bauer’s experience on Sunday, as Brooks noted how Auburn’s confidence began to show late in the tournament. Nonetheless, the coach was able to look at the positive aspect.

“The team that beat us is an east team and we’re interested in the [region] being stronger,” Brooks said. “It's nice to see an east team rising up and beating everyone.”

One bright spot for the Blue Devils was the play of sophomore Maria Garcia-Estrada, who opened with a 70, and finished tied for 13th at 219.

“Maria really put together heck of a tournament,” said Brooks. “She is playing well, she seems to be thinking well and is really focused.”

Duke’s lone veteran, junior Candy Hannemann also played well, leading the Blue Devils with a ninth- place finish at 217 after also posting a first round 70.

“I thought she really played some great golf,” said Brooks. “Her 70 was actually the third [consecutive] 70, she shot two of those at home before she left.”

Hanneman, despite struggling on Sunday, displayed the type of mental stability Duke may need if it expects to capture its second national championship in three years this spring.

“She kept her composure, [but] didn’t strike the ball as well the last day,” said Brooks. “I thought her 74 on the last day was because she wasn’t striking the ball well.”

Brooks emphasized that the Blue Devils’ second place finish should not come as a huge surprise, despite the Duke’s dominating performances over their first three tournaments this fall.

“I think it's important for [the players] to know that there is talent on these other teams,” said Brooks.

“We found that out late in the season last year and I think we're going to be a lot more aware of that now.”

Volleyball seizes late momentum; knocks off Florida State

By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

As the volleyball team looked at the scoreboard late Saturday night, it read 14-9 in favor of the home team, Florida State (19-10, 7-7 in the ACC). It was looking as though Duke might be headed to another five-game match, not a good sign for the team.

Duke (17-11, 6-8) has not been on a roll. In its previous seven games, six of them have been losses. And lengthy matches were nothing new to the Blue Devils, either. Of those six losses, they saw three straight five-game matches, including a Parent’s Weekend nail-biter in Cameron with North Carolina Indoor Stadium.

This time, however, things would be quite different. The Blue Devils, leading 2-1, had an opportunity to end the

I

;||g

match. They did so in impressive fashion while rallying to score seven straight points and fending off several do-or-die sideouts in the 16-14 final game.

Head coach Jolene Nagel was very pleased with the team’s comeback.

“The difference was we hung tough,” she said, “when in other times, we didn’t play tough.”

In the first game, Duke came out sluggishly, and the Seminoles handled them, easily winning 15-6. This did

not bode well for the Blue Devils, who had lost three straight games in their most recent loss to Wake Forest, a team that they had beaten 3-0 previously in the season.

“We didn’t play very well in game one, then we picked it up and won games two, three and four, said Coach Nagel.

Duke quite simply stepped up its level of play in order to beat Florida State 15-8, 15-11 and 16-14 in the final three games.

In early October, Duke was tearing through its schedule with a record of 15-4. Since then, ACC competition has been considerably rougher for the Blue Devils.

With only three games left in the season, including last night’s game against Florida State, the Blue Devils have an opportunity to end the regular season on a high note with three straight wins. Nagel realized the situation and her team responded well to the recent slump.

“We got off a little slow today but came back nicely,” Nagel said. “We played more steady than we have in the past two weeks. We needed a win and that was on our minds a little bit.” ”

While ripping balls left and right, she compiled 14 kills from the middle. Dill also registered five blocks, stuffing several of the Seminoles’ hits. Sophomore outside hitter Jill Sonne contributed in both

phases of the game in Saturday’s match with 11 kills and 11 digs.

The next task for the volleyball team is to use their momentum as the regular season comes to a conclusion. They’ll get their chance this Friday when Maryland comes tojCameron.

Sophomore foursome leads Duke to solid showing at ’Hooch

By CATHERINE SULLIVAN The Chronicle

Although the rowing team had some strong races at Saturday’s Head of the Chattahoochee in Gainsville, Ga., it was also defeated by some familiar rivals.

The highlights of the day were the performances of the championship four and pair boats. The champ four—rowed by sophomores Joanna Hingle, Katie Lakin, Caroline Diemar and Amelia Booth—won the gold medal in a time of 18:31.6, just one second ahead of second-place Clemson.

“We felt really smooth, powerful and together in that race,” Hingle said. “Winning by one second is not very much in a race that long, but we rowed well as a team.”

Caroline Diemar also attributed the success of the champ four to their teamwork.

“We have a great four,” she said. “We all work really well together and we felt very strong on Saturday.”

In addition to winning the champ four race, the same four also rowed in the Pairs. Hingle and Lakin won the gold medal with a time of 20:06.1, and Diemar and Booth finished just eight seconds behind their teammates to pick up the silver medal. Their closest competition was the University of Texas boat, which had a time of 20:29.1, “It was a really tough race between the Duke boats,” Hingle said. “Joanna and I raced well, but we were also really proud of Caroline and Amelia.”

The most disappointing race came at the end of the day in the women’s championship eight. Duke’s A boat finished in fourth place with a time of 17:17.3 behind Texas (16:43.7), North Carolina (16:59.2) and Clemson (16:59.6) The Blue Devils had defeated both the Tar Heels and the Tigers earlier in the year at the Lake Michie Invitational in September and the Head of Lake Hartwell in October.

“We definitely could have done better than fourth,” Hingle said. “It was our third race of the day, it was raining and we were all pretty tired.”

In other major races on Saturday, the Blue Devils finished first in the freshman novice eight, defeating second-place Texas by over five seconds. Duke junior Maren Betts finished third in the Championship single race (22:51.6) and junior Mary Beth Nebel finished sixth (25:17.0).

The Blue Devils have one more face this fall—next weekend at the Rivanna Romp in Charlottesville, Va. There they will have a chance to avenge their loses to UNC and Clemson in the championship eight.

“We’re looking forward to racing UNC and Clemson again,” Diemar said. “It’s a really big race and hopefully we can go get them.”
