Document scorches NSOE

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

A faculty divided over structural concerns; a school dependent on professional tuition to support itself; a Ph.D. program lacking attention and clear focus; a division losing 10 percent of its revenue per year—this was the Nicholas School of the Environment described by an external review last January.

In response to the review, Provost Peter Lange last spring set up a task force to recommend a course of action. That committee presented a proposal—which has passed an NSOE faculty-wide vote—at the last Academic Council meeting. But the recommendations ignore at least one major suggestion by the review committee.

Basketball faces No. 9 Illinois Part of ACC/Big Ten Challenge, game is repeat of last season’s classic matchup

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

You cannot say that Bill Self will not have had his chance.

Rarely does a coach get a shot at the number one team in the nation, let alone twice in

two weeks.

But as the first-year Illinois coach prepares to lead his ninth-ranked Illini (4-1) against topranked Duke (5-0) tonight, there’s no doubt that he relishes the chance to rake in the upset he only narrowly missed against previous No. 1 Arizona last week.

MIKE DUNLEAVY is a new addition to the starting lineup this year and represents one of the few changes for the teams since last year s matchup.

“I talked to [former coach] Lon [Kruger] this morning and I thanked him again for this,” Self joked at a press conference yesterday. “I think it’s great. I don’t know if in recent memory that there’s been a team in the nation that’s played two number ones and a number five in the first 12 days of the season. It’s a great opportunity for us, great exposure.... We’re certainly excited about playing Duke.”

And Duke is just as excited to be playing Illinois. Much like last year’s 72-69 thriller in Chicago, this season’s Duke-Illinois matchup promises to be one of the most exhilarating games of the 2000-01 season, not just for the two teams, but in all of NCAA basketball. The all-

time series is tied 2-2, the site is neutral—although at Greensboro Coliseum, there will be a Duke tilt—and the teams, both suited to a highscoring, fast tempo, are equally matched.

“Illinois is a very good team,” Shane Battier said. “We had a thriller in their backyard last year. This time it’s going to be tough. I think both teams are better.”

Battier is better himself.

In fact, the first question posed to Self yesterday was about Duke’s senior star, prompting the Illinois coach to heave praise on the presumptive national player ofthe year. It also left him struggling to come up with a player on his team to guard Battier.

But the real excitement begins at point guard.

Perhaps the most valuable asset to the Fighting Illini is sophomore point guard Frank Williams, who leads the team in scoring and had key games against Arizona and Maryland, gathering 27 points against the Wildcats.

“It’s going to be a great matchup,” freshman guard Chris Duhon said. “Jason [Williams is] coming off a great second half against Temple.

Frank is just coming off a great tournament so it’s going to be a great matchup, but I know [Jason] will be able to do great for us.”

Justices consider marijuana use

Despite the law, the Supreme Court may allow the medical use of marijuana

By LINDA GREENHOUSE N.Y. Times Nev's Service

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide whether “medical necessity” can justify distributing marijuana, in violation of federal law, to people who use it to relieve pain or medical symptoms that cannot be effectively treated by conventional means.

President Bill Clinton’s administration appealed a federal court ruling in California that adopted the medical defense. At issue is the future of marijuana cooperatives formed over the last few years as voters in a number of states have passed initiatives to authorize using marijuana for medical purposes.

The medical necessity defense “runs counter to the absolute ban” on distributing marijuana and is “directly at odds” with federal law, the administration told the court in its appeal from a ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The case arose out of the government’s request three years ago for a federal court injunction to stop the operations of the Oakland Cannabis Buyers’ Cooperative, started by the city of Oakland to administer a medical marijuana program under California’s Proposition 215.

Also known as the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, the measure made it legal in California for seriously ill patients, with a doctor’s

recommendation, to possess and use marijuana for the relief of pain and other symptoms.

Tens of thousands of people in California and the eight other states that have adopted similar policies are thought to be members of marijuana cooperatives similar to the Oakland organization.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, in San Francisco, initially granted the injunction that the government sought. Last year, the 9th Circuit held that Breyer should have modified the injunction to take account of medical necessity and of the “strong public interest” in the availability of marijuana for patients whose doctors think they need it.

Court hears N.C. redisctricting case

By LINDA GREENHOUSE N.Y. Times News Service

WASHINGTON For the fourth time since 1993, the Supreme Court met Monday to consider whether a long, skinny congressional district in the North Carolina Piedmont is the product of an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The justices’ answer this time is likely to determine the role that race can play in the round of redistricting that is due to follow this year’s census.

North Carolina’s 12th Congressional District is no longer as long or as skinny as it was seven years ago when the court, in Shaw v. Reno, said its “bizarre” shape and its concentration of black voters in a largely white part of the state were constitutionally suspect.

That 5-4 decision and the others that quickly fol-

lowed, invalidating majority-black districts in Georgia, Florida and Texas, changed the redistricting rules and established that districts drawn with race as a “predominant” factor are unconstitutional.

Now the justices have to provide some guidance on how to tell whether race was the predominant motive when other goals, such as partisan balance and incumbent protection, also influenced the legislature’s redistricting choices.

The argument Monday was an appeal by the state of North Carolina and by a group of black voters of a federal district court decision last March that the current District 12 lines, drawn by the state Legislature in 1997 in an effort to cure the earlier violation, are still unconstitutional.

Malone ELECTION 2000 indicted on Gore attempts to regain public’s trust 4 charges *

*

By JOHN BRODER

N.Y. Times News Service

From staff reports In his case’s second court hearing in as many weeks, a Superior Court grand jury yesterday found probable cause to hold a trial against 46-year-old David Patrick Malone, The next court date will be set once Malone is arrested again, but the jury trial is not likely to start

before late February 2001, said Assistant District Attorney Mitchell Garrell, who prepared the indictment.

Malone will be tried for three counts of first-degree kidnapping, a class C felony, and one count of bringing a weapon onto a campus, a class I felony.

The charges of assault by pointing a gun were consolidated into the kidnapping charges.

Malone entered President Nan Keohane’s office Sept. 6 with a loaded .32-caliber revolver, asked to speak with Keohane as he detained three secretaries and finally threatened to kill himself.

Garrell said the grand jury rendered the “true bill” after a Duke University Police Department officer testified before the grand jury.

The District Attorney’s office drafted an arrest warrant for Malone yesterday, and it should be served this week, said DUPD’s Maj. Robert Dean. Until then, Campus Police will continue a steppedup patrol regimen for President Keohane’s office and the Allen Building,

Dean said.

Between the original incident and his Nov. 17 court date, Malone had been held in jail and at two of the state’s mental hospitals. He was released following a Nov. 17 District Court hearing because the prosecuting attorney did not prove probable cause to hold a jury

trial by failing to link the suspect and his actions to the man—Malone—sitting in the courtroom.

WASHINGTON As Gov. George W. Bush of Texas moved with determination to prepare his transition to the

White House, Vice President A1 Gore

pleaded Monday night for public pa-

tience while he contests Florida’s decision to award its decisive 25 electoral votes to Bush.

In a brief address from the vice presidential residence just before 9 p.m., Gore said that he was challenging the vote count in Florida to insure that every American had the chance to register a choice in one of the closest

presidential races in history.

He asserted that he was not engaged in a struggle for power, but rather in an effort to preserve the “integrity of democracy.”

“Whatever the outcome, let the people have their say, and let us listen,” Gore said, standing before a row of four American flags.

“Ignoring votes means ignoring democracy itself and if we ignore the votes of thousands in Florida in this election, how can you or any American have confidence that your vote will not be ignored in a future election?” Gore said. ‘That is all we have asked since Election Day, a complete count of all the votes cast in Florida. Not recount after recount, as some have charged, but a single full and accurate count.

We haven’t had that yet.”

But undeterred by Gore’s words or his legal actions in Florida, Bush pressed forward with his transition planning, meeting in Austin, Texas,

with his designated White House chief of staff, former secretary of transportation Andrew Card. Dick Cheney, the governor’s vice presidential nominee and transition director, announced that he was opening a full-scale transition operation in rented office space

VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE, attempted to win back the support of the nation last night with a primetime national address aimed at the growing number of Americans who think he should concede victory. in Washington, using money from private donations.

Cheney sharply criticized Gore and the White House for refusing to authorize public money and government office space for the Bush transition. He said at an afternoon news conference that the administration had a duty to honor the results of the Florida election as certified by Secretary of State Katherine Harris.

Gore said that a fair count of the Florida vote would provide him with more than enough votes to defeat Bush

and pleaded with the public to await a more complete tally. Aware of polls showing that the public is growing weary of the long postelection limbo, Gore on Monday night blamed the delay in reaching a full count on “lawsuit after lawsuit” filed by Republicans and what he called “organized intimidation” of local canvassing officials.

Earlier in the day, he choreographed a show of support from top Democratic leaders in Congress for his combative and time-consuming legal strategy.

Pew Trusts grant SI.2M to longline fishing study ByAMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

BRIAN

A BADGE OF

IHARVILLE/THE CHRONICLE

HONOR

As the start of the Duke University Police Department’s Employee Star Program, Chief Clarence Birkhead yesterday presented several awards to officers and other University employees. The Coveted Badge award went to Samuel Wickline (right), a digital services technician in the Office of Information Technology, in honor his support of the department.

The Pew Charitable Trusts have pledged $1.2 million for a comprehensive study of the pelagic longline fisheries industry. Larry Crowder, the Stephen Toth Professor of Marine Biology at the Nicholas School of the Environment, will be one of the principal researchers.

“It really is a tremendous boost to the marine program,” said NSOE Dean Norm Christensen. “It’s an opportunity to link what we’re doing to the management of fisheries on the coast.... It’s also a tremendous opportunity to connect basic scientific work on the biology of these coastal systems with real-world applications.”

Crowder explained that longline fishing involves the use of 30- to 40-milelong fishing lines, generally for swordfish or tuna. But sometimes, fisheries accidentally catch organisms such as sea turtles, sea birds and marine mammals.

Myers and Crowder were approached

by Pew last summer. ‘The practical concem... is whether this [industry! catches enough of these protected species that they might be causing problems,” Crowder said.

He cited the scarcity of leatherback turtles in the Pacific Ocean as a prime example, explaining that the accidental killing of just a few of the 1,000 female leatherbacks nesting there could have a drastic impact on the overall population.

The team will conduct the study in

two phases. The first, which will be released in December 2001, will focus on assessing the industry within 200 miles of Canadian and U.S. territories. The second phase, which is scheduled for completion the following year, will focus on other areas of the world—including the North Atlantic and Pacific basins.

“Getting information on the catches of the fisheries will be pretty straightforward. Getting information on bycatches is much more difficult,” Crowder explained. He added that finding data on catches in countries that do not have observers on fishing boats is particularly difficult.

Christensen said he is particularly pleased with the collaborative nature of the study: Crowder will work with Ram Myers, the Killiam Chair in Ocean Sciences at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, and assistant professors of economics Christopher Dumas and Peter Schuhmann in the Cameron School of Business Administration at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.

“There have been studies going on for some time of particular populations and particular areas. What this study is seeking to do is put that all together,” Crowder said. “The goal is to be as comprehensive as we can be.”

Based in Philadelphia, the Pew Charitable Trusts give annual grants for activities in the areas of culture, education, the environment, health and human services, public policy and religion.

Bush team begins transition without federal funds, space ELECTION from page 3 But Bush and his allies were showing no patience. Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida I*

signed the document that certified his brother as the winner of the Florida presidential vote. Senior Republicans in Congress began referring to Bush as the president-elect.

And Cheney said Gore’s obstinacy was getting in the way of a peaceful transfer ofpower.

“We find ourselves in a unique and totally unprecedented position,” said Cheney, a former secretary of defense and White House chief of staff. “Never before in American history has a presidential candidate gone to court to try to change the outcome of an already-certi-

fied presidential election. But whatever the vice president’s decision, it does not change our obligation to prepare to govern the nation.”

The Clinton administration has denied the Bush team access to a 90,000square-foot suite of offices and $5.3 million in public funds for presidential transition operations. The White House said it was inappropriate to provide resources to either candidate with the Florida result in doubt.

“The law is pretty clear,” said Jake Siewert, the White House press secretary. “If there’s any doubt about the outcome of the election, no taxpayer money is to be distributed.”

President Bill Clinton said he had

nothing to do with the decision by the

General Services Administration, the

federal government’s landlord, to withhold access to the transition suite in an office building two blocks from the

White House.

But Clinton made clearer than he ever had before that he shared Gore’s belief that the Florida ballots had not been fairly or completely counted. Clinton spoke late Sunday night to William Daley, Gore’s campaign manager, and Monday he echoed some of the Gore team’s sentiments.

“On election day, every person who voted had a vote that counted just as much as mine,” Clinton said at a Cabi-

net meeting, which Gore did not attend.

“So they have to sort that out in Florida—whose vote should be counted, can every vote be counted. If every vote can’t be counted, is there a good reason why you’re not counting that vote?”

As Clinton and other Democrats stressed the need to let the legal process play out in Florida, Republicans sought to create a sense of inevitability about the Bush ascension.

Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi instructed committee chairmen to prepare for confirmation hearings the first week in January on Bush’s Cabinet nominees.

Calling Bush the president-elect, Lott said the hearings should immediately follow the swearing-in of senators Jan. 3.

As a result, the reviewers recommended either that EOS, which became a part ofthe school in 1996, revert to its status as a department under Arts and Sciences, or that the school become divisionless.

But Duke administrators say the department would not be a priority in Arts and Sciences and that the field has a natural affiliation with other departments with-

Marine Lab

in NSOE. ■ Instead, the provost’s task force devised a plan that would create three divisions within the school: Earth and Ocean Sciences, Environmental Sciences and Policy, and Coastal Systems Science and Policy. In addition, the plan advocates a change in faculty by-laws that would give faculty from each division input in the hiring process of the other divisions. The plan passed a faculty vote last month and is now before the Academic Council.

“Being interdisciplinary... is about collaboration and community,” said NSOE Dean Norm Christensen. “We want to build strong centers ofexcellence around key disciplines and at the same time create a culture of interdisciplinary collaboration. This structure can accomplish that.”

Still, the review puts into question the initial decision to merge EOS with the school. At a Nov. 16 meeting of the Academic Council, EOS Associate Professor Stuart Rojstaczer criticized the administration for topdown decision making on the merger and for ignoring the top recommendation of the review.

“People have thought seriously of leaving this institution as a result of this merger and the political actions that have occurred over the last nine to 10 months,” Rojstaczer argued. “Morale has suffered in both groups. We’ve been spending countless hours hashing [this] out.”

Lange denies Rojstaczer’s allegations.

“External reviews are advisory. We do not have to follow them,” Lange said. “They give us advice. That’s what they’re designed to d0.... We’ve devised the solution... which captures the spirit ofwhat the review was trying to accomplish.”

George Homberger, a member ofthe review committee and Ernest H. Em professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia, said that given the potential utility of an EOS department to an environment school, he wasn’t surprised at the new proposal.

Still, he added, “We thought that a large part of the real benefit that they could gain from having that school was to work across disciplinary boundaries. We thought divisions tend to build walls rather than break them down.”

The review committee also cited the physical separation ofthe faculty—EOS faculty work out of the Old Chemistry Building—as a barrier to collaboration.

Christensen and Bruce Corliss, former senior associate dean of NSOE, said moving the EOS faculty physically closer to the school’s building in the Levine Science Research Center is not an immediate priority.

Corliss added that interdisciplinary work already takes place.

Unfair advantage

The

decision to give student-athletes priority for enrolling in classes seems out of place at Duke—a university that prides itself on holding its athletes to the same academic standards as other students.

The policy not only gives student-athletes an unfair advantage in the scheduling process, but paints an unflattering picture of how the University views the contributions of other students who give many hours of their lives to benefit Duke life.

By couching its argument as one about commitment, the University further trivializes the obligations of other students.

Many Duke students would relish the chance to tailor their schedules so that they could work more hours at their work-study or part-time jobs, or spend more time working with a particular student group.

Student-athletes come to Duke knowing what their commitments are going to be. They have a demanding set ofresponsibilities, but one that is by no means more demanding than some of the University’s most dedicated undergraduates.

Student and athlete equity is rapidly fading from Duke, with athletes receiving more and more options and priority in both meal plans and housing.

Instead of giving athletes special academic privileges, Duke must return to a registration system based solely on seniority.

The academic rights of all students should not be compromised for those of a select few.

Tissue benefits everyone

Duke

University Medical Center’s recent partnership with Ardais Corp., a company that facilitates the collection of leftover tissue from surgeries, should help boost the growing field of genome research.

Furthermore, the procedures that Ardais, a company that Duke partially owns, uses for collection are not intrusive and do not infringe on the rights of the patients. By collecting post-operative tissue that would otherwise be discarded and by requiring a patient’s consent, this procedure dispels some of the myths and horror stories of tissue collection.

There are concerns over privacy and whether or not someone will be subjected to excessive surgical tactics in order to obtain tissue. Ardais has guaranteed that its procedures render these arguments unfounded.

As part of Duke’s contract with Ardais, DUMC must make sure that any patients who donate tissue sign off on the sampling in advance and also make sure that patient privacy is totally protected Top-notch medical research is something in which Duke takes pride. The key to successful research is having quality specimens and samples.

Through Ardais, Duke helps to merge its medical success with its research success and at the same time offer some samples to other institutions. It is a good deal all-around.

Chronicle exhibits discrimination against Asians It is amazing that the Nov. 20 Chronicle did not have a single word, caption, or picture about L. Ling-chi Wang’s

talk on Friday about discrimination

Asian

facing

Americans and the current landmark civil rights case of Wen Ho Lee.

Such indifference and lack

of coverage would be unimaginable if a prominent black activist spoke at Duke about racism. Yet, to show

where The Chronicle’s priorities are, a quarter page was devoted to “Franksville,” totally trivial and completely insignificant by itself and in comparison to Wang’s talk.

I challenge The Chronicle to publish this letter to show just how marginalized AsianAmericans are in this university, devoid ofpower and representation, denied the opportunity to address and discuss important issues and

relegated to ridiculous charades of “Asian cultural nights” or “Asian fashion shows” that have little or no relevance to the lives of Asian-Americans.

How can an effort to expose the pervasive and devastating discrimination against Asian-Americans be ignored so deliberately?

University’s airport bus service deserves praise On behalf of my fellow passengers, I would like to express my appreciation and commendation

to

Duke

Transit for providing free shuttle services to and from RDU airport over the Thanksgiving weekend. I had the privilege of riding the Duke bus back to campus and was impressed by its

simplicity and effectiveness.

Firstly, the 6 p.m. bus was right on time, and our driver Steve was very helpful, and he cheerfully answered my many questions about the

On

service. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the service drops students off as close to their front doors as is reasonable, and not just at the West and East campus bus stops. I am sure the returning tired and luggage-laden students appreciated this.

Secondly, our bus circled the terminals a second time before departing for Duke to make sure we didn’t miss anyone, and we arrived at our first Duke stop by 6:30 p.m., which was earlier than what I had expected. In these few

ways, the Duke bus equals and even exceeds the quality and timing of some of the services provided by taxis and private shuttles, both of which I have tried in the past.

I wish I had started using the Duke service earlier instead of forking out the $lO- for the others. This service is already pre-paid and is a good example of effective use of our tuition dollars.

But Software barons seek unparalleled the standard we have resigned ourselves legal privileges to accepting on our computers would be Like many people, I use a computer unacceptable in so many other situations daily.

So With almost every software installaI was shocked to learn that software pubtion, a little legal disclaimer crops up, lishers are attempting to codify their which most of us usually never read, but mistakes... into legal impunity. which all of us probably remember seeI was reading a review of the newest ing stating something like, “This softversion of Excel, the übiquitous spreadware license is provided as-is.

Since assumes all liability.” The point of which that’s a crash-source on any platform, I is that you haven’t actually bought the hoped that one improvement was software, just permission to use it. So if increased stability, but alas, there was you do in fact use it (which is why you nary a mention of that. I then read about bought—er, rented—it in the first the associated e-mail program, an place), you’ve got no one but yourself to improved version of the freeware my wife blame if it doesn’t work.

And that’s when I found myself wonAssociation is trying to get every state dering: “If you pay for a program, is it—- legislature to pass the “Uniform Computer Information Transactions should it be—more stable than free software?” It’s not too surprising, really, that Act.” UCITA’s ostensible purpose is reafreeware like web browsers or basic e- sonable enough: consistent software mail programs are often buggy.

But it turns out that the software least, it’s easy to rationalize that performance: “you get what you pay for.” In industry wants a playing field consisfact, if the idea of the freeware version is tently slanted its way.

There, in a striking coincidence, was an article on the on going stricken by poorly written computer

UCITA is opposed by the attorneys general of 26 states, including North Carolina, as well as the Consumers Union (publishers of Consumer Reports) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The latter has perhaps the best summary of the flaws in the proposed legislation; “UCITA would inject an ironclad statutory framework that is very easy to abuse to the serious detriment of consumers..., business users, [and]... computer consultants...; UCITA permits software publishers to enforce contract provisions that may be onerous... and places on the purchaser the burden and cost of proving that these unconscionable... provisions are including] prohibitions against public

publisher prior to sale, undisclosed to the buyer, and having damages that can be reasonably foreseen.”

Worst case scenario: A program wreaks havoc on your computer or business due to a defect the publisher knew of—and you can’t even tell anyone about it, much less collect damages.

It’s not wrong for software publishers to want consistent regulations, and it’s not right for us to expect infallible products. But reasonable standards of competency are required for any of us to keep our jobs. Is it too much to expect the same of software publishers?

Loser take all Off the record and on the QT Martin Barna Goodnight, sweet chad.

Where are we today, on Day 21? Well, Vice President A1 Gore is contesting the results in the counties that will most likely help his cause. Big surprise. Meanwhile, Gov. George W. Bush of Texas is hard at work trying to act like the legitimate president of the United States. (By the way, W, loved the quixotic acceptance speech on Sunday, but you could give that speech with the pope standing on one side of you and Steven Hawking on the other and you would still not be the legitimate president of the United States. In fact, you’d have an easier time just getting the pope and Hawking together.)

It will be easier to reconcile science and religion than to reconcile Gore supporters and Bush supporters.

Let’s face it, the man who loses this election will win (and set himself up for 2004); the winner of the election is not going to be the big winner.

That is why, and if you have read any of my columns you know this comes with a heavy heart, Gore should concede.

Gore? Concede?

Yes and Yes. But let me make a few things clear.

Gore won the popular vote and Gore was the intended choice of more voters in Florida. It is too bad that we likely will never know the count of every smgl e dimpled vote in Florida, because they should be counted, all of them. After all, since 1997, that has . been the standard in Texas. tor The only way to have those votes counted is „

So let Bush have it. Help Bush burn it Mr. Gore, announce that the country must come first, and say that even though you are certain that you won more votes in Florida and won the popular vote, for the safety and security of America, you must step aside.

Since Bush will have a cloud of illegitimacy over his head and since the Democrats hold 50 seats in the Senate, America is safe from Bush’s radical agenda.

The next four years will likely be an attempt to mimic Clinton’s success in the face of adversity. But without the Man at the helm, it will not go so smoothly.

Oh, Mr. Gore, do not forget to tell the people that you will not be fading into the background so quickly. Say that it is your duty to be a watchdog for those 50 million Americans who voted for you, and that you will keep your eye on what happens over the next four years.

Then go and spend the next four years building up the party, campaigning for others, doing some Jimmy Carter-esque humanitarian efforts and have some fun. Run against the hobbled incumbent in 2004. If you work on just being yourself and just enjoying took him over two decades in public service to these next couple years (no heavy exhaling during any speeches or public appearances), then you will accomplish what Bush did in just six years.

And since there is no way for Gore to scrub off the soot be ready to bounce Bush back to his ranch or sumthat Bush has placed on the eventual president, he may mer home or yacht or whatever. as well let W. deal with the mess he’s made. When the What will W. use against you? “Hey, didn’t he lose had to the Electrical College vote last time?” eventually go Russians scorched their earth, they “Do we really want a copular vote winner in the reclaim it. If you scorch the earth and lose, then you can make a comeback. If you scorch and win, you’ve got a White House?”

“Should we try to mimic the successful politicies smoldering mess on your hands. Bush is, without a doubt, the wrong man for messy details. The presidency is not a of Bill Clinton?”

In 2004, Mr. Gore, you’ll find the answer to all of place for those who are flippant toward detail. That’s why Bill Clinton was so successful in his policies and other those “Bushism-ed” questions is yes.

Gore’s motion to contest the results be granted. In Florida’s messy electoral history, there has never been a successfiil motion to contest. But, even if Gore were successful in that, and did get enough votes from further hand counts, it still would not be worth it to be president.

Bush has run the best scorched-earth policy since the Russians fought Napoleon. He’s made the White House look black. By uttering the words “stolen election,” “fraud,” “pregnant chad” and “thief,” Bush has tarnished the presidency without setting foot in it.

That’s pretty impressive; Nixon would be proud. It

Bush has tarnished the presidency without setting foot in it.

That’s pretty impressive; Nixon would be proud.

presidents were, well, not, well, as, well, successful.

Gore should not want to govern from a White House that has a scarlet “I” for illegitimate draped over it.

Chute manufacturer: Machine was not at fault ACCIDENT from page 1 would not have closed completely, and would have tripped the reopening mechanism. Investigators were not sure why the machine was on.

“Mr. Clayton was of small stature,” said Robert Guerry, director of the Medical Center’s engineering and operations department. “He w T asn’t wide enough to activate the switch.”

Additionally, University policy dictates that the machine be turned off when maintenance is performed.

Despite the accident, TransVac Systems President Bob Hoopes said he has no plans to change the design of his product and faults Clayton and the University

for the tragedy.

“To start with, he shouldn’t have been in there with the machine on. He screwed up,” said Hoopes. “It is already designed to open back up. There is really nothing we can do. We’ve been doing this for 30 years and we’ve never had a problem.... I don’t see any reason to change.”

University administrators said they will be reviewing safety procedures at the Medical Center and will make appropriate changes based upon the results of the OSHA and internal investigations.

“Such accidents remind us of the risks that lurk all about us and encourage us to redouble our efforts to keep all our workers at Duke as safe as possible,” said University President Nan Keohane. “Once we figure out [what happened], we will know more about

howT to guard against anything similar happening in the future.”

Guerry has already implemented several new safety precautions, including adding more signs around the work area. Hs is also evaluating the possible addition of more detection devices to prevent a reoccurrence of the accident. Officials at N.C. OSHA said the average investigation takes six to eight weeks, but this investigation could be concluded as soon as this week.

“We look at a number of different things in our examination,” said Robert Cooke, a spokesman for the North Carolina Department of Labor. “These things normally take a long time. They just don’t happen

overnight.”

During the course of their inquiry, OSHA officials will take statements from employees and administrators and review University policy to determine whether Clayton’s death could have been avoided.

Each violation of OSHA regulations could result in a maximum $7,000 fine, but the University and TransVac may have to pay thousands more in legal suits and compensation to his family.

Emory University School of Law Professor Frank Vandall, a nationally renowned expert in personal injury and liability law, said as an employer, Duke’s liability is probably limited because of its worker’s compensation policy. TransVac Systems, however, has no such insurance.

“The purpose of workers’ compensation, in these

cases, is to provide very quick compensation to the employee or their family and to protect the employee. It is only set aside if the family can show the accident was intentional,” Vandall said. “The key thing [the family] will have to show is that the company anticipated, that in order to clean or repair the chute, that someone would have to enter the machine. If the company knew such an accident could occur, then there is possibly a strong case to be made.”

But TransVac president Hoopes said that such a case would be frivolous. In addition to the internal safety mechanism, Hoopes said machine operators are strongly advised to always turn off the equipment before performing maintenance.

“If you are going to enter or work into any piece of equipment, you better make sure it’s off. That just makes sense,” he said. “As far as we’re concerned this is not our problem. This is not our fault.”

When killed in a work-related accident, Duke employees with worker’s compensation receive special death benefits. Clayton’s family is entitled to a percentage ofhis salary multiplied by 11—the number of years he was employed at Duke.

In addition to worker’s compensation benefits, Duke also grants a special gratuity to the spouse or estate. The family of the deceased receives a onetime payment of one month’s salary for each year that the deceased worked at Duke, with a maximum of six months.

Reamer rejects Baddour’s offer

� Beard chosen as ACC rookie of week For the second week in a row, Duke freshman Alana Beard was selected as the ACC rookie of the week. The Frierson, La. native averaged 15.0points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists last week, en route to helping the Blue Devils compile a 4-0 record.

More specifically, four Seminoles, including star quarterback Chris Weinke, were selected to the All-ACC offensive squad, and four were chosen to the conference’s defensive team.

Duke punter Brian Morton was the Blue Devils’ sole first-team selection, while tight end Mike Hart was an All-ACC second-

SENIOR TOM CASS won the 184-pound weight class this weekend at the UNC Open.

Cass wins weight class

By WILYORK The Chronicle

The Duke wrestling team had a successful Saturday in Chapel Hill, competing of the UNC Open. The Blue Devils’ performance was highlighted by the accomplishments of Tom Cass, who went 3-0 in the 184-pound weight class and captured the individual title. Two first-year Duke wrestlers placed third in their classes Josh Sheridan at 157 pounds and Tim Marcantonio at 165 pounds.

Matt Hoover said the team was very pleased with its performance at the meet.

“It was definitely our best performance of the year so far,” Hoover said. “It shows that we’ve improved from last year and that Duke —

For Kristina Engstrom, making the transition from her native Djursholm, Sweden to playing for the nation’s topranked golf team was less intimidating than it might seem.

“A lot of Swedish golfers come here to play during the winter since it’s so cold in Sweden and the competition is good,” the sophomore said.

Even though Duke’s six-member team has three other non-Americans, Engstrom made it clear that she picked Duke for more than just having the camaraderie of other expatriates.

“It’s good for me that the team is international—it feels like I belong more,” Engstrom said. “But I love the two Americans [Leigh Anne Hardin and Kalen Anderson] also, and I didn’t choose the team just because it’s so international.”

Engstrom was a star back home in Sweden, where golf has taken off in recent years in spite of the cold climate.

She discovered, however, that playing at the top college level has been more

difficult than she had imagined.

“It’s kind of changed my view,” she said. “In Sweden, I was a great golfer.

Coming here, I realized what it takes to get to the top. I’ve got to practice a lot; I didn’t realize how difficult it would be.”

She has nonetheless put together 75.82 a strong season, compiling a scoring average and helping the Blue See

wrestling is definitely on the rise. We just have to take a little time now to really realize how good we can be.”

Ten Duke wrestlers placed sixth or better in their weight classes.

Josh Sheridan, in the 157-pound bracket, and Tim Marcantpnio, at 165 pounds, both captured third place. Senior Sean Meakim placed fourth at 133 pounds, as did freshman Frank Comely in the 174pound weight class. Ben Balmages and Hoover placed fifth at 157 and 165 pounds, Hoang, Luke respectively.

Tommy Palmisano and Andy Soliman each finished sixth in their class.

is staying put at Virginia Tech.

Beamer said yesterday that he will remain coach of the No. 6 Hokies, ending a wild day-and-a-half that included a Sunday visit with North Carolina athletic director Dick Baddour, a widely reported job offer from Baddour at a salary of as much as $1.4 million and another series of meetings yesterday with Virginia Tech officials.

The announcement was made by Virginia Tech athletic director Jim Weaver at an afternoon news conference that brought several days ofspeculation to an end.

Baddour said the Tar Heels are disappointed Beamer turned them down.

“He was one of several outstanding candidates we have been considering, and we will continue to vigorously pursue those other candidates,” Baddour said. “I am confident that we will secure an outstanding coach.”

Beamer’s success at Virginia Tech has made him a frequent target of other programs, with Clemson and Alabama among the schools that have courted him.

He was the near-consensus national coach of the year last season after leading the Hokies to an 11-0 regular season record and the national championship game.

“He has a lot of loyalty to his staff and with his staff” said Hokie defensive coordinator Bud Foster. “He’s a guy that knows to run a successful program, it’s not one guy. We as his assistants appreciate that.”

Sanders’ status questionable in matchup against Illini � BASKETBALL from page I

Sophomore Jason Williams notched 17 points in last season’s game, but Illinois’ Williams forced Duke’s young point guard into six turnovers. That is a mistake the New Jersey native is not likely to make again, both because of experience and the fact that this year’s Duke team is significantly deeper than the team the Fighting Illini met a year ago. The only question mark on the Blue Devil bench is Casey Sanders, who pulled his left hamstring in the Army game Saturday.

“We’ll see how things go today in practice,” Sanders said yesterday, but sounded quite probable that he would be able to go in for parts of the game against the Illini.

Also joining the bench will be Reggie Love, who was seen most recently on the gridiron as a wide receiver. While Love was ready to go

Saturday night against Army, officials had doubts about the status of his paperwork; Krzyzewski cautiously chose not to play him.

Another key matchup will be inside.

Carlos Boozer leads the Blue Devils in scoring, having scored 26 points against Temple. Illinois forward Brian Cook, son of former NBA player Norman Cook, may not have had the best beginning to the season, but his 231-pound will give Boozer one of his most potentially frustrating opponents of the season.

“Carlos has been big for us the last couple of games, so he’s riding an emotional high,” Duhon said. “I have all the confidence in the world he’s going to keep up the same level. I know he’s going to be more ready, because he didn’t play that well last year.”

While Illinois will be a much more up-tempo, offensively oriented team than the defensive-minded Temple,

Duhon was not worried about any style of play the Fighting Illini will bring tonight.

“We’re a team that tries to dictate our own game,” he said. “We’re trying to dictate our tempo. That’s the bottom line.

We’re going to go out and play the game we want to play.”

Duhon also swatted down the notion that the recent move up to No. 1 in the Associated Press and ESPN Coaches’ polls puts extra pressure on the team.

“I think us just being Duke puts a mark on our back,” the freshman said.

“Even if we’re not number one, we’re still number one in a lot of people’s eyes.

So that’s why we come to every game prepared, ready to go to war.”

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

Carlos Boozer has been very dangerous for the Blue Devils in Duke’s first five games, taking preseason NIT MVP honors and leading the team in points. But Brian Cook is also a very able inside force. What a matchup!

But who can stop Shane Battier? Maybe Marcus Griffin, whose knee is now completely recovered.

It is a battle between two guys named Williams.

Duke’s Jason has had a very good start, but Illinois’ Frank also had an explosive start, including a 27-point high against Arizona. COl7 Bradford has never had a game without a three-pointer, but will be neutralized

by Nate James recently recorded his career high against Texas.

Chris Duhon, Andre Sweet and Nick Horvath all showed how deep Duke has become this season. Against Army, Krzyzewski replaced all five players on the court at once. As for Illinois, there’s not too much of a bench to go to, so the Blue Devils could capitalize from the rare opportunity of being deeper than their opponent.

This is Illinois’ second chance in two weeks to take on an Associated Press No. 1 team. The lllini gave the Wildcats a three-point scare a week ago in the Maui Invitational and wiped out formerly No. 6 Maryland by 10 points. While Duke is indeed strong, Illinois is very hungry, very scrappy and itching for an upset win.

LILY-HAYES KAUFMAN/THE CHRONICLE

SENIOR SHANE BATTIER and the Blue Devils renew their rivalry against Illinois tonight in Greensboro. Last season, Duke beat the lllini by a mere three points.

This could be Duke’s most exciting game until Stanford in December. The all-time series is tied 2-2 and Duke won last year by only three points. Factoring in the even matchup at center, the battle of the Williamses at point guard and the neutral location, you could say that it Compiled by Kevin Lees does not get much closer than this. Duke 87, Illinois 82

Devils to a No. 1 ranking and a 4-1 record over the fall season.

Following a freshman year in which her language skills were not fully developed, Engstrom noted that her increased comfort with the English language has allowed her to be more active on the team this year “Now I know English better. It makes my studies [go] faster and I can focus more on golf,” Engstrom said “I have also learned to talk a lot more—l was quiet at first.”

While experience has led to impressive performances, the sophomore has had to confront the fact that she finds herself scoring fourth on a Duke squad loaded with talent. Although Engstrom was ranked an impressive No. 27 in the country last year, the Blue Devils’ unmatched depth has continued to push her game.

“Because the whole team is so good, it has put a lot more pressure on me,” she said. “I know I have to play well to [keep my place] on the team, but I think the pressure is good. [We] all have personalities that cone well with pressure.”

Engstrom’s expectations for her post-Duke career remain high. Just as she sought to find the most challenging college program, she also hopes to compete on the LPGA some day.

“Long term, I want to play professionally in the U.S. and see where that takes me,” she said. “Of course, I want to be high up amongst the world players.”

In the near future, though, Engstrom is content with trying to manage student life and helping the team strive for its goal of a national title this year.

“The [academics] are demanding but I think I’m handling it better this year,” she said. “I think the campus is beautiful. I love Duke

Hoover felt the performance of the Duke freshmen left the team with a lot to look forward to.

“It shows that coach [Clar] Anderson is doing a really great job recruiting,” Hoover said. “Our wrestlers can go out and compete with anyone. I think the young guys might have been a little nervous at the beginning, but they overcame that.”

“Our wrestlers can go out and compete with anyone. ”

Matt Hoover, Junior Wrestler The team from North Carolina enjoyed the most success, capturing individual crowns in six weight classes.No team accolades were awarded at the event, as wrestlers competed unattached. This also meant that coaches were not allowed on the mat with the wrestlers.

Hoover said the Blue Devils did not seem to suffer without their coaches on the sidelines.

“Even though we can’t really have any affiliation with Duke, we always know what we need to do,”

Hoover said. “It doesn’t change anything; we are just as intense.”

The Blue Devils will see their next action Saturday at James Mason in Virginia. The following day, they will travel to Philadelphia to compete at Drexel and Bucknell.

“I think we’ll definitely take a little more confidence from this tournament into next weekend, but we’re not where we want to be by any stretch of the imagination,” Hoover said. “We know we’ve improved, but we also know that we can be much better.”
