Duke slides past No. 9 Illinois N.C. ballots cause some

IS GREENSBORO

Talk about a tough week.

Illinois’ men’s basketball team faced two No. 1 teams in the space of six days and lost both games by a total of four points.

Six days ago, the opponent was Arizona, and last night the topranked foe was Duke. For Illinois (42), the result of both games was nearly identical.

In a physical battle at Greensboro Coliseum, the Blue Devils (6-0) gutted out a 78-77 win over the ninth-ranked Illini behind timely defense and clutch play down the stretch.

“It’s very frustrating to take two knocks to the head like that with Arizona and now Duke,” Illini forward Sergio McClain said. “It all comes down to taking care ofthe ball and getting shots when we needed it.”

Much like the Arizona-Illinois game, the outcome of last night’s game went down to the wire. The

controversy Some pundits worry about a

potentially confusing straight-party ticket voting policy and inconsistent voting methods.

game was still in doubt with 3.5 seconds left when Blue Devil point guard Jason Williams fouled Illinois sophomore Frank Williams as he was shooting a three-pointer with Duke leading 78-74.

Williams’ shot fell short, but he earned a trip to the free-throw line for three shots that could pull the Illini to within one. After making the first two shots and cutting the Blue Devil lead to two, Williams threw up what looked to be an intentional brick.

To nearly everyone’s surprise, the shot banked in, and all of a sudden, Duke’s Shane Battier was running the baseline in an attempt to get the ball PRATIK PATEL/THE CHRONICLE in bounds and run out the clock. Battier found Mike Dunleavy who then SOPHOMORE JASON WILLIAMS, the game’s star, soared for an electrifying slam dunk during the second half of Duke’s one-point victory over Illinois last night.

Never before has so much attention been paid to the minutiae of an election; ballots and voting methods. While the nation waits for Florida finally to resolve discrepancies in its election process, each state is given the unique opportunity to evaluate its own election policies and ballot designs.

Although North Carolina’s troubles have not reached the Sunshine State’s level of controversy, concerns linger over a potentially confusing policy regarding straight-party ticket voting as well as consistency in voting methods among the state’s 100 counties.

More than 30 years ago, the state introduced a law that continues to cause some voters inadvertently to not cast a vote for president. Since 1967, the presidential race has been excluded from the straight-party votes.

As a result, voters who simply choose the straight-party ticket option may overlook the fact that they must vote for president separately.

“I’ve been here 30 years, and the presidential race always drops off from the gubernatorial race,” said Sylvia Thornton, director of the Sampson County Board ofElections. “It’s not anything new.”

Customers find Eckerd’s new location inconvenient

By RUTH CARLITZ The Chronicle

Due to the recent departure of the Eckerd store from the edge of East Campus, freshmen students looking to get their prescriptions filled currently face an inconvenient trek.

The store moved down Broad Street from the intersection with Markham Street to the intersection with Guess Road.

Though Ninth Street has two drug stores, Kerr Drug and McDonald’s, both have closed their pharmacies. Thus, the option nearest to East Campus is Eckerd’s new location, less than a mile away.

The store was moved to a free-standing unit Oct. 10. Tami Alderman, corporate spokesperson for Eckerd, explained that such units are not associated with a shopping center and therefore offer customers greater visibility, accessibility and convenience.

The new location is also larger and can accommodate a one-hour photo lab, a drivethrough pharmacy window and a food mart.

The entire staff of the old Eckerd has been retained and no new hires were made, said store manager Daniel Hill.

Although Alderman said that the same customers should find the new location as convenient as the old one, some patrons disagreed.

“I feel really inconvenienced,” said freshman Emily Carl, “I was trying to get a prescription filled and I had to go to Pickens, which was such a pain, and they didn’t even have the medicine!”

Carl was not the only one with negative feelings about the move.

“I’m depressed that it’s not here anymore because now I have to get my car and drive,” said Wendy Goldstein, a contractor at IBM and the president of the Trinity Heights Neighborhood Association, who lives on Berkeley Street.

Alderman said the Eckerd Corporation will sublease the old site but did not specify how much time is left on the lease or what plans THE ECKERD DRUG STORE at the intersection of Broad and Markham streets, has are in the works for the property.

“I say to you, Tou want elections? I’m prepared,’” Barak said, as the lawmakers quieted. He continued brashly: “I’ve won every election I’ve ever run in to date.”

Barak, head of the Labor Party, said that he would meet with the opposition Likud party in the next few days to coordinate an election date. Experts said that elections will take place by spring at the earliest; the two major parties are expected to hold internal primaries to choose their candidates and neither side wants to rush to the polls.

Judge refuses Gore’s request A circuit court judge denied a plea from the vice president’s lawyers to speed up his lawsuit, instead setting a hearing to decide whether to recount disputed ballots. >

By DAVID FIRESTONE N.Y. Times News Service

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. A circuit judge Tuesday evening denied a desperate plea from Vice President A1 Gore’s lawyers to speed up his lawsuit seeking to overturn Texas Gov. George W. Bush’s victory in Florida, refusing to recount thousands of disputed ballots at least until he holds a hearing on Saturday.

Although the judge, Sanders Sauls, agreed to Gore’s request that nearly 14,000 such ballots be sent up from South Florida, the judge’s decision to call a hearing on whether to count them was a blow to his lawyers’ efforts to establish an accelerated timetable for contesting the election.

Gore’s lawyer’s are aware that they must wage a full-blown trial and several rounds of appeals in the two weeks before Florida officially sends its electors to the Electoral College, and they demanded that Sauls set an extraordinarily fast schedule for the case.

Under their proposal, officials would have begun counting 14,000 ballots from Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties Wednesday, continuing through the weekend for seven days, with a ruling from Sauls next Wednesday and an appeal to a Florida Supreme Court over the next few days.

Bush’s lawyers, on the other hand, proposed a far more leisurely schedule, one that would have ended the trial level of the contest on Dec. 11, the day before the designation of electors, leaving no time for any appeals.

Gore appeared before television cameras Tuesday to discuss the details ofhis motions, which he said was essential in ensuring a “full and accurate count of the ballots,” and to accuse the Republicans of deliberately stalling the process.

THE SEASONED TICKET, a sports bar in the Durham area, will host catered events for students at the Devil’s Den during the Duke men’s basketball games. The first one will be Jan. 10 for the away game against N.C. State.

‘Seasoned’ crew hosts events in Den

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

The aura of Cameron Indoor Stadium will spread to the opposite side of campus next semester.

Beginning in January, local sports bar Seasoned Ticket will be hosting students at the Devil’s Den on Central Campus during 14 men’s basketball games.

For a still-to-be-determined fee, anyone with a Duke ID will be able to watch the games on the Den’s widescreen TVs and munch on a catered buffet.

Passes will be pre-sold at the Bryan Center ticket office, said Nick Tiomack, the restaurant’s co-owner.

The first event will be Jan. 10 during the away game against North Carolina State University, and the Den will open for about an hour before and after the game.

Tiomack said the building will be open for every game next semester, with the exception of the Jan. 20 game against Georgia Tech and the Feb. 4 game against Florida State University—both of which are afternoon games.

The cooperative venture brings a veteran team—which runs two sports bars in the Durham area —to a facility that has had trouble attracting patrons.

“The idea is to get students to go [to the Den] for different events, to revitalize it with the Seasoned Ticket’s ability to develop a reputation during the bas-

ketball games,” said Jim Wulforst, director of Dining Services. “I’m just spread too thin to do what [students] would like me to do.”

The entrance fee will cover all food and non-alcoholic beverages, and if a license is approved beer and wine will be sold separately. The menu has not been decided.

The Den is currently open only for private functions. When it hosted students two years ago during basketball games, the events were widely considered a success. They were discontinued when Dining Services was unable to attract patrons on other nights. Since the building will undergo no major physical changes, Tiomack does not expect any delays in its reopening.

Tiomack’s business partner, Peter Savarino, is the son-in-law of men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski.

The plan is a scaled-back version of an earlier idea by the Seasoned Ticket to open the Den for dinner three nights each week. Tiornack said that scheduling would be too inconsistent for the plan to work, due to private events already slotted for next semester in the Oregon Avenue facility.

However, he added that the restaurant may still be willing to cater other private events in the Den. “We’ll probably entertain the idea if other groups on campus want to hold an event there, but we’re not going to solicit that at this time,” Tiomack said.

Planned overeating can reduce holiday season weight gain

By MARKO DJURANOVIC The Chronicle

Thanksgiving has passed, Christmas is coming and the season for overeating has officially begun.

Traditionally, the time between the holidays is when most Americans gain seven pounds, often prompting the all-too-familiar New Year’s resolution: “I’ll start my diet tomorrow.”

And while the holidays are hardly the appropriate time for keeping in shape, all is not lost.

“One of the things we try to encourage people to do is give up the all-or-nothing mentality,” said Jami Norris, fitness director at the Duke Center for Living. “If you have only 30 minutes, get in [a part ofyour workout] instead of just skipping it.”

It is also important to remain realistic about holiday plans, said Franca Alphin, nutrition director of Student Health Services.

“Don’t try to lose weight over the holidays but instead strive to maintain your current weight,” she said, explaining that simply retaining the status quo would be a positive difference.

Norris stressed that there are less time-consuming exercise activities not associated with the gym that one can do. A walk around the neighborhood or a park after a big dinner, taking the stairs instead of an elevator or even parking farther away when going to the mall are all small changes in lifestyle that can have a positive impact on one’s health. Even getting up and doing something physical during the commercial break while watching television can be beneficial.

Norris had some other tips too: Don’t go to a party starving. “Eat a little something before you go and don’t get all the calories in small snacks —save [them] for the fruitcake or the eggnog,” she recommended.

She added that small but unhealthy snacks, such as candy bars and potato chips, are getting more popular—especially with people on the run who do not have time to sit down for a balanced meal.

THE HECTIC NATURE of the holiday season may make it difficult to squeeze in a full workout, but experts still emphasize that any amount of physical activity, even for short periods of time, is preferable to getting no exercise at all.

A little planning also can help maintain balance in At the University, students often cannot plan their one’s diet, Norris noted. meals as well as they could at home, Alphin pointed out.

“You don’t want to go through the holidays feeling “Students are challenged with the food choices denied, so plan to overeat,” she said, adding that peo- they have here,” said Alphin, explaining that differple should eat lighter during the week ifthey know the ent constraints prevent students from varying their weekend will be filled with parties and their high-fat, diets.

media and gender issues in India. Summer programs in Greece and Morocco are also being considered.

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

The University is looking to expand its summer study abroad offerings by three by establishing programs in India, Greece and Morocco. The Duke in India program will definitely be available this summer; the other two programs are still seeking approval from the study abroad committee.

“There had been a decline in student interest in [the program in India],” said assistant dean of Trinity College Margaret Riley, director of study abroad, explaining that the program had been discontinued six years ago. “But now there has been an increasing demand for a program like this. Indian studies and culture have become really popular with students.”

To satisfy student interest, faculty in the Department ofAsian and African Languages and Literature proposed an altered program focusing on media and gender issues. In addition to taking classes taught by Duke faculty at Bombay’s Sophia College for Women, students will spend time at India’s National Film and Television Institute and will attend guest lectures by Indian film and dance experts.

“This is a reincarnation of the [old] India program,” said Riley. They’ve made some changes that, hopefully, will draw student attention.”

Stephen LeMoine, assistant director of study abroad, said some of the program’s details—such as See INDIA on page 8 �

DSG proposes longer reading period

By GREG MILLWATER The Chronicle A Duke Student Government proposal to extend the fall semester reading period by one day will take effect next year if it is approved by the University Scheduling Committee.

The proposal was first brought to the committee by junior Vik Devisetty, a DSG legislator and a voting member of the committee. It would give students a four-day reading period for both the fall and spring semesters. The reading period for the fall semester is presently only three days long.

Judith Ruderman, head of the scheduling committee, said the proposal has “already [been] discussed once [and we] gave assignments to different people until we meet again in December.”

The main obstacle to a reading period extension, Ruderman said, is the tight nature of the Universi-

need to get that day from somewhere,” she said.

Committee members have discussed several ways to gain an extra day, including starting the school year a day earlier or shortening fall break by a day.

Devisetty emphasized that “Duke is already at the bare minimum for class hours per semester, so reducing class time is simply not an option.”

Also at question is whether students need or even want an extra day.

Ruderman said that the administration has seen “no evidence that students do not have enough time to prepare.”

Devisetty said that the proposal stemmed from the personal experience of pulling four all-nighters last fall exam period. He believes that “a longer reading period would have decreased [his] stress.”

cedural roadblocks.”

Sauls, wielding folksy aphorisms to fend off the enormous pressure of the elite legal teams arrayed before him, essentially tried to steer a middle course. He called for a hearing on Saturday to determine whether to count the ballots—three days after the Gore team wanted the hearing to begin—and also agreed to hold a hearing Thursday afternoon to determine what standards should be used to count the ballots, and whether marks like dimples should be considered votes. To prevent logistical delays, the judge ordered the two counties to send their ballots to Leon County Circuit Court here by Friday afternoon, though he said that did not necessarily suggest that he intends to tabulate votes.

“This doesn’t mean in any way, shape or fashion that we’re going to be counting the ballots on Saturday, unless there is a basis that dictates they should be counted,” he said. “But at least if we have them, we should be able to move The judge’s actions were not good enough for either side, and particularly for Gore’s lawyers. David Boies, Gore’s lead lawyer, told the judge that if he insisted on a Saturday hearing, the Democrats would immediately appeal that scheduling decision to the Florida Supreme Court.

“We can’tafford to wait ’til Saturdayto answer these questions,” Boies said, his usual placid, smiling demeanor showing cracks of impatience. “Waiting until Saturday is tantamount to denying the relief we seek.”

Speaking to reporters later, however, Boies said he had not decided whether to appeal the hearing.

Barry Richard, Bush’s lead lawyer here, said that far more time was needed to debate the question of whether the ballots should even be examined.

“My client is entitled to a hearing before Mr, Boies’ client gets relief, but every time your honor gives him another thing, he’s back on his feet asking for one more thing you’ve already denied him twice,” said Richard, visibly angry.

ECKERD from page 1

The recent closing of the pharmacy at Kerr Drug was described by Diane Elezier, the store’s director of marketing, as a necessary business decision, despite any adverse effects it may have on the community.

Citing increased costs of dispensing technologies, inventory and lengthier training for pharmacists, Elezier explained that the extremely low payback of managed care reimbursements makes it harder for pharmacies and drug stores to generate profit.

“You cut hours, cut other things to try to get the overhead down in order to pay the pharmacy, to pay the personnel... [but] sometimes [the reimbursements are] not enough to cover the cost of keeping the store open,” she said. “You’re going to see a lot more [closings] over the next few years.”

But for John McDonald, who closed the pharmacy at his McDonald’s Drug Store approximately two years ago, the decision was mainly a personal one.

“We’d been at it so long and after 50 years I figured I had filled enough prescriptions... I enjoyed it when I was doing it, but it got to be too much,” he said. McDonald did, however, acknowledge that increasing costs and regulations would make it difficult to operate a pharmacy today.

He suggested that some pharmacy should move into the area because people still regularly enter his drugstore looking to get prescriptions filled.

“I feel that [Eckerd] has made a business mistake because they’re going to lose a lot of East Campus business,” said freshman Portia Cornell.

Drawing District 12

You Keep The OHH#S FMA

On

Monday, for the third time since 1993, the US. Supreme Court tackled the issue of North Carolina’s twisting, snake-like 12th Congressional District.

Last time, the Supreme Court sent the district back to the North Carolina General Assembly to be redrawn, ruling that the old drawing represented an intentional majority-black district that was illegally designed to diminish the relative influence of white North Carolinians.

This time, the court should let the redrawn district stand.

Originally, the 12th stretched along the Interstate-85 corridor from eastern Charlotte to western Durham. Fifty-one percent of its population was black. The modified district follows the same corridor, but stops in Greensboro. The new district is 47 percent black.

The General Assembly is trying to balance two different legal precedents—a 1996 decision that declared Congressional districts designed to favor minority candidates unconstitutional, and a clause in the Voting Rights Act that bans states from dividing minority populations into multiple districts so that their influence can be silenced by the white majority. The current district seems to have balanced these principles.

Opponents of the district still insist that the 12th has been drawn to increase the possibility that a black person will be elected to Congress. The 12th’s supporters argue that it is simply a majority Democratic district. Opponents are forgetting one detail about black voters—that they are 40 to 50 percent of the Democratic base in the South.

Congressional districts are always drawn to favor one political party over another. This is a perfectly legal way to design a district.

The reality that opponents of the 12th district fail to recognize is that in the South, and in North Carolina, black people vote nearly nine-to-one in favor ofDemocrats and make up as much as one-third of a state’s population. Hence, if one is going to build a majority Democratic district south of the Mason-Dixon Line, it is nearly impossible to do so without including a disproportionate number of black voters. Black voters, after all, are reliably Democratic.

And while the district is rather bizarre looking, one needs to look no further than the surrounding Congressional districts to understand why the 12th is shaped as it is. Surrounded by the exceptionally conservative Fifth, Sixth, Ninth and 10th districts, the only way to build a majority Democratic district in this area is to run it right along the 1-85 corridor—where the Democratic voters live. Race is inconsequential to the district’s design.

And it is not as if the residents ofthe 12th District do not have issues and experiences in common. While they are spread out geographically, all of the residents live in highly industrialized and commercial areas, on the outskirts ofmajor urban centers or in downtowns of two of the state’s five largest cities. These people share common concerns that are alien to rural-dwelling North Carolinians, and these citizens should not be split up because slightly less than 50 percent of them are ofthe same race.

The 12th is a work offine political gerrymandering, no more, no less. The Supreme Court should see it that way.

Letters to the Editor

Duke’s student>athlete vision needs adjustment The student-athlete model Duke is pursuing is more like the Stanford model, where athletes have an opportunity to pursue a challenging education while at the same time competing at the top levels in their respective sports. I note and understand that Duke needs to catch up with

Stanford in terms of endowing all of its athletic scholarships for men’s and women’s sports.

Endeavoring to schedule Stanford in addition to Northwestern and Vanderbilt may make some sense.

Scheduling Dartmouth or Brown or Yale would be comparable to throwing in

the towel and walking away from what makes Duke a unique alternative for prospective students who may choose Duke over perhaps less social and athletically inclined Ivy schools.

The young trustee position illustrates the University’s openness and commitment to providing diversity in its decisionmaking process. The young trustee position was created specifically to bring a younger perspective to the board. In creating the position, former University president Terry Sanford emphasized that the young trustee does not directly represent the undergraduate student body; instead,

Young The Trustee

Nominating Committee will thoroughly review all applications for the position.

Once the YTNC has narrowed down the candidates, three finalists will be submitted to Duke Student Government. The DSG Legislature will then select one nominee for the position next February.

I encourage every sophomore, junior and senior who feels he or she can assume the necessary responsibility and commitment required for this position to apply.

Applications will be available in the DSG office and must be turned in by 5 p.m. Jan. 11.

The YTNC will be hosting

information sessions with Chris Lam, a current young trustee, and University Secretary Allison Haltom.

They will provide insight into the young trustee position and how the board operates. All undergraduates interested in the position are

encouraged to attend.

The first information session will take place tonight at 7:30 p.m., and the second one will take place Tuesday, Dec. 5, at 5:30 p.m., both in 139 Social Sciences. (Chris Lam will only be present at the first one.)

Smart students do stupid things

Hard-core drugs, not to mention alcohol, permeate the college social scene ends are worse. Of course, in New Orleans, the legal drinking age is 18 (to buy it you have to be 21), and there is greater availability there than anywhere else in the country.

Beyond the wall

Style Into the unknown Maureen Milligan The quoted text that follows is a real question that was included in the Duke University Undergraduate Application for the Fall of 2001. While the responses are just figments of my imagination, their tone and

approach certainly ring true, don’t they?

“According to Stephen Carter, we can admire those with integrity even if we disagree with them.

Are there people you admire even though you deeply disagree with them? What do you admire about them? How do you reconcile this apparent contradiction in your assessment?”

When Bill Gates made his decision to drop out of Harvard, he made the biggest mistake of his life.

Instead of living four years inside the crimson bliss that we know as Harvard Yard, he left school and decided to go at it on his own. I just know that when Mr. Gates walks around the plush grounds of the Microsoft campus, a little part of him recognizes the inadequacy of his campus in comparison to the world’s most aesthetically pleasing and hallowed campus—yes, that place called Harvard Yard.

Likewise, when Mr. Gates strolls through the corridors of his many buildings, I’m sure he sees the brief glances of disdain and mockery from his employees.

“You’re a self-made billionaire,” he must imagine them saying. “But you ain’t a Harvard man.

I have to have respect Mr. Gates because he has achieved one of the two greatest goals in life he is filthy rich. But he’ll never reach that second peak, he’ll never hold both torches of success because he

Recently, a Duke student died of alcohol abuse. Every student at Duke knows this, yet 11 went to the hospital with blood-alcohol levels equivalent to that of the deceased student. And what were their SAT scores?

Well of course it doesn’t have anything to do with board scores. It has to do with social immaturity and irresponsibility.

That’s one reason most of the students who went to the hospital were freshmen.

Give them a few more years and a couple more kegs under their belts and they’ll grow up, too.

But what’s to be done in the meantime? Unfortunately, just more of the same: sensible talk. Prohibition doesn’t work, and neither do threats and scare tactics. Some never learn—look at Robert Downey Jr., caught on parole with cocaine—but most people do, over time.

Alcohol abuse will always be a problem

at Duke. Perhaps the only consolation is that it could be worse. I know for certain there’s marijuana use at Duke, and I have no doubt there’s cocaine abuse. I’m hoping heroin traffic is limited, and crack confined to our Durham citizens (more about this in a future column that will touch on civic leaders also), but in the meantime, we have to trust to your better judgment and instincts and hope you mature faster than your predecessors.

I have as much control over my daughters’ behavior at Tulane and Cornell as your parents have over you. It is, after all, your life. So good luck with them, and as I used to tell people when I dealt blackjack at Tahoe—don’t bet more than you can afford to lose. Gambling your life is a very bad wager.

Many voters favor ‘paper trail’ over electronic system P- BALLOT from page I Because North Carolina has a history of traditionally voting for Republican presidential candidates and Democratic state officials, removing the office of president from a straight-party ticket helps Democrats running for state offices to distinguish themselves

from a less popular Democratic presidential candidate. “The ballot is designed to protect statewide party interests,” said James Hamilton, associate professor of public policy studies.

However, the policy has the potential to backfire.

If voters who choose a straight Democratic ticket do not realize they must vote separately for president, they may deprive the Democratic presidential candidate of votes.

Several years ago, Hamilton and fellow public policy professor Helen Ladd conducted a study of results from the 1992 general election. They reported that statistical estimates of ballot returns from the 1992 elections found 1 percent of voters voting for state governor but not for U.S. president. They also concluded that voters skipped the presidential race by mistake.

“There are legitimate reasons for separating [the presidential race from the straight-party ticket], but it is important that voters understand it is separate.

Anything officials can do to make the ballot more clear we would favor,” Ladd said.

Thornton noted that Sampson County has gone to great measures to promote voter awareness of North Carolina’s straight-party ticket policy. In addition to posting signs at polling stations and in voting booths, the county elections board had polling station monitors and radio station disk jockeys remind voters of the policy. Still, voter confusion remains.

A reliable ballot method for the entire state may be one way to clear up voter confusion. Although North Carolina has never used the infamous butterfly ballot, current voting methods used in the state range from punch card ballots to the latest method, direct record electronic voting.

This system, in which voters push buttons on a keypad or touch screen, was first introduced as a possibility eight to 10 years ago. Electronic voting was used by about 25 counties this year, and the number is generally increasing with each election.

Some election experts favor a move toward more sophisticated technology.

But Thornton disagrees that all N.C. precincts should go the way ofelectronic voting. “In lots of counties, lots of people don’t feel comfortable without a paper trail that you can go back and look at. A lot of people are scared of new technology,” she said.

North Carolinians fall on both sides of the debate over the security of various voting methods. “It depends on wT ho you talk to,” said North Carolina Board of Elections deputy director Johnnie McLean. “Some prefer paper [ballots] because they leave an audit trail, but others like the electronic voting equipment because it is the best technology available.”

Many N.C. counties, including Durham County, use the optical scan method, in which a tabulator reads connected arrows on a ballot. Thornton said the advantage to using the optical scan system is that “you can take the ballot once marked and look at it to see who you voted for. We looked at the direct record voting but felt that the senior citizens would not be comfortable with that.”

Regardless of the specific method chosen, in order to prevent disparity in election results, each county

has two goals when selecting a ballot style: to provide enough clarity for voters to understand it and to have adequate consistency with the other counties in North Carolina.

“From a statewide perspective, we would try to encourage more consistency. Basically we want to minimize the confusion,” Ladd said. “It is fine for counties to make their own decisions, but it should be important for statewide and presidential races to have consistency.... Unless you have the same technology, you’re going to have ballots that are going to

look different.”

One constraint to achieving election consistency across the state is varying financial resources for each county. “Unless the state can fund all 100 counties, it can’t force counties to buy [a certain] kind of equipment,” Thornton said.

Williams takes over Jason Williams scorched Illinois with 23 points Even though last night’s DukeIllinois game was a heart-stopping thriller of March Madnesslike proportions, the actual outcome and the important factors that influenced this outcome were far from surprising.

Craig Saperstein Game Commentary As almost anyone would have predicted, the No. 1 Blue Devils barely edged their very worthy Big Ten opponent in a close, physical contest that will go a long way in improving each team’s toughness later in the season.

In addition, Duke attempted to impose an up-tempo, freewheeling game, while the Illini were able to take advantage of Duke’s lack of height and depth, weaknesses that the Blue Devils have displayed throughout this young season.

According to Illinois coach Bill Self, the matchup offered few surprises.

“The game went exactly as scripted,” the first-year coach said.

“It was their speed against us trying to make it a street fight inside.

When we were able to get the ball inside, good things happened. We just didn’t take care of the ball on the perimeter and we’ve got to get better in that regard.”

All night, Duke’s perimeter players hounded the Illini guards, forcing 26 turnovers for the game, 14 of which came in the second half. In particular, Blue Devil guards Jason Williams and Chris Duhon exerted extreme pressure on Illinois sophomore point guard Frank

Williams, who led his team with nine turnovers on the night.

The Illini’s Williams more than made up for his plethora of turnovers, though, by recording 19 points and four assists. In addition, the Peoria, 111. native almost single-handedly kept his team alive in the game’s waning moments, as he hit three straight free throws with 3.5 seconds to cut the Duke margin to one point.

Healthy and cleared to play, Lindros seeks new team

By ROB MAADDI Associated Press

VOORHEES, N.J. Eric Lindros might be better off if an arbitrator decides his future one more time.

Lindros, who came to the Philadelphia Flyers in a trade in 1992 after a ruling by arbitrator Larry Bertuzzi, has been cleared to resume playing nearly six months after his sixth concussion.

The problem this time is finding him a team.

Eight years ago, Lindros had plenty of suitors and Bertuzzi had to rule whether the Flyers or the New York Rangers had acquired him first in a trade with the Quebec Nordiques.

The 27-year-old restricted free agent said yesterday he wants to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Flyers general manager Bob Clarke responded by saying he has not spoken to any team

about Lindros.

But Toronto general manager Pat Quinn later said he had discussions with the Flyers as recently as Saturday regarding a deal for the star center.

Hockey’s most compelling soap opera continues.

“We haven’t had any offers at all from any team for Eric,” Clarke said from the team’s practice facility. “We’re certainly not going to try and stop Eric from playing in the National Hockey League, but we are going to make the best deal with any club that we can for the Flyers.”

Lindros rejected an $8.5 million qualifying offer from the Flyers last summer, recently declined to meet with Clarke to discuss his future and made it clear he will not return to Philadelphia because of a contentious relationship with the general manager.

“I’d really like to play in Toronto,” Lindros said.

“It’s a great organization, a great city and being from here, it just seems to be a good fit.”

Clarke is not so eager to find a new team for his former captain.

“Eric may want to play in Toronto, but that may not happen,” Clarke said. “First of all, Toronto has to say they want him, and they have to give us compensation for him, and they have to be able to sign him.

“If someone comes along whether it’s the Rangers or somebody else and offers us more than what somebody else has offered, we’ll go

with the best deal for the club.”

Lindros said Clarke told him “to go find a deal.”

“I think things are warming up,” Lindros said.

But Clarke denied even speaking to Lindros.

“He’s a free agent. I certainly wouldn’t let him put a deal together,” Clarke said. “I wouldn’t let anybody put a deal together for our team. He can talk to any team he wants, but he’s not putting a deal together for us.”

Lindros hasn’t played since May 26, when a check by New Jersey’s Scott Stevens gave him his sixth concussion in slightly more than two years.

It was only his second game after a 2 1/2-month absence because of postconcussion syndrome.

“Is a healthy Eric Lindros of interest to us?

You bet.” Quinn said. “Playing the way Eric plays, yes certainly. But under the circumstances, nobody can guarantee that sort of thing and we’re not about to take all the risk in this.”

Bill Watters, assistant to the Leafs president, said any deal for Lindros has to include conditions.

“The only condition that has to be is that all three stakeholders—the Philadelphia Flyers, the Lindros group and the acquiring team—have to share the risk equally,” Watters said. “If that balance is not there then there’s no deal.”

Lindros had 28 goals and 32 assists in 57 games last season, including four periods ofthe EZRA SHAW// playoffs. He has made six All-Star teams and won the MVP award in 1995, but the Flyers lost ERIC LINDROS (#88) is helped off the ice by former teammates after sustaining a in their only Stanley Cup final with him. concussion during Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals last May.

surprise.

Only two years into college football’s most recent incarnation of Craig Saperstein “we pander to the moneyrich bowl system, but pretend to care about who wins the national championship,” there is already massive controversy in the Bowl Championship Series. You remember, of course, that this is not the first time that the bowl games played around New Year’s Day will not give fans the undisputed national champion they deserve.

In 1990, before computer polls were even considered in factoring a national champion, the disparity between the two major polls led to a co-national championship, much to the chagrin of Georgia Tech and Colorado. Both of these teams were undefeated and both were victorious in their bowl games, meaning that they both had rightful claims to the national championship trophy.

An even more pertinent example of national championship turmoil occurred in 1994, when Bobby Bowden won his first title at Florida State, despite the fact that his Seminoles had fallen to Notre Dame earlier in the year.

Although Notre Dame had the same number of losses as the ’Noles (one), won their New Year’s Day bowl game and beaten Florida State earlier in the

Charlotte boasts deep bench Duke � WOMEN’S HOOPS from page 15 among their 14 players. But youth is not necessarily a weakness, as Duke’s roster

also boasts five rookies.

So far, Duke’s youth has performed excellently. Three of the team’s top four scorers are freshmen, including Alana Beard, who is the top scorer.

Coach Gail Goestenkors feels that youth is an asset, rather than a liability.

“The youth of the team adds excitement,” Goestenkors said. “And the returning players give leadership and confidence, so we have a good mix.”

That mix is one that does not figure to disappoint tonight against the 49ers.

The Blue Devils have averaged over 77 points in their first seven contests,

while allowing an average of just over 55. The 49ers score at an average clip of 61 points per game, while allowing just over 68 per game.

The Blue Devils count a strong outside game as one oftheir main strengths.

Led by senior leader and defending ACC player of the year Georgia

respectively, are also capable of playing as forwards.

One of UNC-Charlotte’s strengths is depth. Nine different players have already started for the 49ers this year, and 11 players have played in every

game.

Charlotte also has 11 players who average at least 10 minutes per game.

However, the Blue Devils counter with depth of their own, as nine Duke players average double-digits in minutes and eight have played in every game (an additional two have participated in all but one game).

Duke’s starting five has been the same for every game this year, and the starters have contributed an average of 46.5 points per game.

While this is certainly an indication of the talent of the Blue Devil starters, it

also underlines the fact that the team has talent all the way through the lineup, as the bench brings an additional 30.5 points per game.

Beard commented that the team’s Schweitzer, who shoots the trey at betdepth makes each player better. ter than 52 percent, Duke hits nearly 42 “For us, it doesn’t matter who starts percent of its three-point attempts. and who doesn’t start, or who scores Nonetheless, if the 49ers defend the and who doesn’t score,” she said. “We perimeter too heavily, the inside duo of just want to win, and we all make each Rochelle Parent and freshman Iciss other better.”

THE NOD

Freshman Iciss Tillis and senior Rochelle Parent have

given the Blue Devils a good mixture of experience and youth in this area. They combine to score about 14 points per game, and-Tillis holds a three-inch height advantage over the 49ers’ tallest starter. This should neutralize Charlotte’s slight edge in average scoring.

Advantage Duke.

Georgia Schweitzer, the defending ACC player of the year,

and sophomore Sheana Mosch combine for over 17 points per game. Throw in freshman phenom Alana Beard, a guard/forward who leads Duke in scoring, and not even the 17.5 points per game of Tonya Phifer will

help. Duke’s three-point shooting percentage, combined with big-game experience, gives the Blue Devils the edge,

Both teams count depth as a strength. However, Charlotte’s top five scorers give them 50 of their 61 points per game.

Duke’s bench averages about 31 per game. Big-game experience is a factor again, with Duke’s early-season tests at Penn State and Boston College, and against LSU in New Mexico, paying off. The Blue Devils get the nod.

Intagibles

Duke is riding an emotional high, having started 7-0 and being ranked No. 3 in the nation. Charlotte stands at 1-3' Duke has great coaches and some players with national championship game experience; Charlotte has suffered consecutive losing seasons. Duke is playing in front of the home crowd in Cameron. All Duke here.

The Blue Devils count among them the conference’s reigning player of the year and the natron’s top freshman class. Five of their players have played in the Final Four, and they have a top-level coaching staff. This is a program that has risen to national prominence, and Compiled by Wil York the 49ers are just out of their league. Duke 84, Charlotte 55.

Clemson 57, Northwestern 44 Will Solomon scored 12 points and returned from a bad-looking ankle injury to steady Clemson down the stretch in a 57-44 victory over Northwestern in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge last night.

“He’s going to be in some pain for a couple of days,” Clemson coach Larry Shyatt said.

With the Tigers (3-1) ahead 42-32, Solomon wrenched his left ankle trying to stop a drive to the basket. He rolled in pain on the sidelines and spent the next nine minutes receiving ice packs and therapy.

But with 5:34 to go—and with the Wildcats (2-2) cutting the Tigers’ lead to 48-43—Solomon went back in. He hit a basket to make it 50-42 with 4:52 left, then fed Chris Hobbs for a dunk that kept Clemson’s lead at 8 points with 2:53 remaining. On Northwestern’s next possession, Solomon dove to the floor to force a turnover.

“It’s all right,” Solomon said. “I’ll do what I can to help my teammates.”

game away.

Adam Allenspach had 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Tigers.

Northwestern, coached by former Princeton coach Bill Carmody, hadn’t allowed more than 53 points this season. It hoped for the same thing at Littlejohn Coliseum.

But Clemson’s superior depth and size made it a difficult job.

Hobbs, a freshman, scored 11 of his 13 points in the second half and had six rebounds. Reserve Dustin Braddick had seven points and eight rebounds in the first half as Clemson turned a seven-point deficit into a 36-29 lead at the break.

When Tony Stockman, another Clemson freshman, hit a basket in the final minute, it gave him 11 points and was the third time in four games this year the Tigers have four players in double figures.

Besides Allenspach, Braddick and Hobbs had 10 rebounds apiece. The Tigers outrebounded Northwestern 43-28.

Winston Blake, Northwestern’s leading scorer at 14 points a game coming in, was O-for-4.

Ben Johnson led the Wildcats with 14 points on 5-of-15 shooting.

Dean Oliver added 14 points for lowa, which outrebounded Tech 45-22 and shot 62 percent in the second half, Alvin Jones led Georgia Tech with 24 points.

Tony Akins and Marvin Lewis each scored 15. lowa led 54-42, its biggest lead to that point, after Recker sank three free throws with 12:30 left. Akins then scored seven straight Georgia Tech points, including a three-pointer that drew the Yellow Jackets to 56-49. They got no closer.

Illinois makes must-miss free throw Depth inside might �

BASKETBALL from page 1

found Nate James. James was fouled with 0.8 seconds left, which sent him to the free-throw line. After missing the first free throw, James intentionally missed the second, and Illinois’ desperate heave at the buzzer was off the mark.

James’ miss helped Duke hold on for a nail-biting win.

After the game, there was much talk about the two critical free throws—James’ missed one and Williams’ banked one that was not supposed to go in.

“We’re just glad that Nate knows how to miss a free throw,” coach Mike Krzyzewski quipped.

Illini coach Bill Self was less than jovial about the turn of events and seemed frustrated by the unusual ending. “It was just one of those nights,” Self said. “[Williamsl throws a brick up there and it goes in. We were trying to miss it. We thought that would be our best chance to tie the game or to win it.”

The loss was particularly frustrating for the Illini because they outplayed Duke in many facets of the game last night. Despite being outshot 46.3 percent to 41.9 percent on the night, the Blue Devils were able to shut down Illinois when it mattered most. During a key stretch in the second half, Duke outscored the Illini 14-2 over a five-

While Illinois’ Williams was crucial to his team’s performance, Duke’s Williams was still

able to outshine his sophomore counterpart.

The Blue Devil sophomore scored 23 points, registered seven assists and turned the ball over four fewer times than Frank Williams. And of these five turnovers, only one came in the first half, which served as a key factor in the Blue Devils’ ability to stay afloat despite poor shooting and foul trouble.

Needless to say, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski was pleased with his floor leader’s standout performance, especially in the opening period.

“Jason Williams was terrific,” Krzyzewski said. “His play in the first half just to keep us in the ball game was really good.”

minute span.

Turning up the defensive pressure at just the right time, the spurt gave the Blue Devils a 77-68 lead with less than three minutes to go. Although Illinois would fight back with a run of its own, Krzyzewski was pleased with his team’s defensive effort in the second half.

“I thought the difference in the game was that we played better in the second half,” Krzyzewski said. “I thought our FRANK WILLIAMS makes a free throw to narrow Duke’s lead defense was really good.”

The Blue Devils’ defensive effort seemed to take its toll on ." the team’s offense. Senior co-captain Battier, in particular, struggled offensively all night long, scoring just 11 points.

WILLIAMS from page 15

Without Williams, the Blue Devils might have been forced to play from behind throughout, much of the game, as they struggled on many cylinders in the first half.

These problems were hardly unusual, though, and they are aspects the Blue Devils must improve upon if they want to seriously contend for a national championship.

In particular, Duke will need to develop greater depth from its players coming off the bench, especially those who substitute for center Carlos Boozer.

This reality was quite apparent in the first half last night, when the Blue Devils were outrebounded 24-10 as a result of Boozer sitting on the bench for seven of the game’s first 20 minutes with two early fouls.

Boozer’s replacements, sophomores Casey Sanders and Nick Horvath, combined for zero rebounds and zero points, an output they will have to increase greatly if Duke hopes to compete on a high level.

Nonetheless, Jason Williams believes his classmates are beginning to make strides which will help the team as the season progresses.

“I think [depth] is just going to come with time,”Williams said. “People are starting to come around, Nick’s still a little hurt and Casey is coming along.

“That’s the thing I love about our team. We’re still getting better as the season progresses.

We’re becoming a better team and that’s going to help us in the long run.”
