Women win a nailbiter at UVa

By RAY HOLLOMAN The Chronicle

71 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Duke The Alana Beard-less Blue DevUVa 68 ils didn’t have to be perfect to win after all Sheana Mosch just had to come awful close.

The sophomore shooting guard scored a game-and career-high 25 points, lifting the No. 4 Blue Devils (18-1, 6-1 in the ACC) to a scrap-

py 71-68 victory over No. 25 Virginia (13-7, 4-3) in the team’s first game without their primary offensive weapon, Beard, who remains sidelined with a dislocated thumb.

“The team that walked in here was the same team that won the ACC championship last year, said Virginia coach Debbie Ryan, who saw her team lose in University Hall for just the fourth time in 22 series contests. “I wasn’t thinking about them as a team without Beard.

They were actually a better team tonight than they had been all year.”

Better, but almost not good enough to pick up their ninth straight win of the season.

A 10-foot jumper by Schuye Laßue with 2:05 to play capped off a furious 6-0 Virginia run, returning the Cavaliers the lead they enjoyed most of the night at 66-65 and setting up the Blue Devils for a second straight loss in Charlottesville. But a rejuvenated Iciss Tillis, who rediscovered her touch from the floor after a terrible 2-14 start, hit a short turnaround jumper and scored off her own miss on the next possession to See WOMEN’S BBALL on page 15

Duke starts reclassifying IT workers ByAMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

GEORGIA SCHWEITZER helped lead the Blue Devils to victory over the Cavaliers,

Information technology specialists are on the cutting edge, and in the future, the University’s system for paying and classifying these employees will be too. Last year, Duke began the process of broadbanding—reclassifying employees into just 17 titles within six “bands” as opposed to using the nearly 100 traditional job descriptions.

“Our current process, in terms of how a salary is set, is Byzantine,” said Executive Vice President Talhnan Trask. “[lt’s done] through a very complicated, paperintensive process.” Partially as a result, Trask added, Duke has struggled to retain highly technical employees.

The average employee turnover rate for Duke is 18 percent, but in the technology field, it is much higher—2s percent.

Higher turnover in this field is not uncommon, but Duke must compete with companies like IBM and Cisco Systems, Inc., which can offer employees something the University never will: stock options.

“We’ve lost some significantly talented people, and I think we were just fearful See BROADBAND on page 6

Rush ends amidst Administrators focus on student yield smiles, accusations

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Out of the 408 women who registered for rush, 88 percent got bids. Still, some sororities fell short of their quotas, and allegations of ‘dirty rushing’ increased considerably this year.

By JANNA FISHMAN The Chronicle

Despite changes in procedure, this year’s sorority rush went smoothly, according to Panhellenic Council officials. Last year, nine sororities participated in formal rush. This year, due to Alpha Phi’s revitalization, only eight sororities were involved in the entire rush process. In addition, sorority rush was shortened this year from five rounds spread over 11 days to four rounds completed in a week.

Because of these changes, Panhel leaders worried about a potentially problematic rush. “We were nervous about it because we hadn’t had a ‘stable rush’ in the past several years,” explained Emily Snell, the vice president for membership recruitment at Duke Panhel. “We tend to base things on what happens in previous years, but there were less sororities in formal rush this year.”

Because only eight sororities participated in formal rush this year, the pledge class quota set by Panhel rose from 40 last year to 47 pledges this year. A few sororities were allowed to exceed the quota limit by one or two pledges, while three sororities fell short of the quota.

“The sororities that missed quota did not do so because they didn’t do a good job at rush, but because

Duke has never had problems keeping its students—it usually boasts among the highest retention rates in the nation. Its real problem is getting students to the University in the first place.

As the Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid committee continues to examine admissions policies, it will also investigate ways to increase the percentage of admitted students who choose to attend the University. Specifically, the committee will examine the way the University presents itself during Blue Devil Days, the week intended to showcase the University to admitted students. “It’s our last best opportunity to make a good impression on students who have been admitted to Duke,” said Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions. “We find that when people visit, they are more likely to attend.”

Last year, the yield for students who attended Blue Devil Days was 24 percent higher than the overall admissions average. Administrators admitted 3,700 students to fill 1,600 spots for a yield of about 43 percent. Many of Duke’s peer institutions, notably Stanford, Harvard

Durham to vote UNC system’s grad, rate: 33 percent UNC Schooi System on schools bond

By RYAN WILLIAMS The Chronicle Durham County schools may be in for major renovations if a bond referendum passes muster with

voters this fall. The referendum will request $52 million for Durham County public schools, including the construction of a new elementary school.

This is only the first of several referenda planned over the next seven to ten years. If passed, the bond referenda would total about $2OO million.

“The school system is required by law to adopt a long-range facilities plan,” said Kathryn Meyers, chair of the Durham County school board. This plan ensures the upkeep of classrooms, gymnasiums and other school facilities.

Hugh Olstein, Executive Director for Facilities Services of Durham Public Schools, cited student performance as a motivating factor for the renovations. “Reports nationwide clearly show that facilities do affect student achievement,” Olstein said.

The bond would include $l2 million for a new elementary school to be located in south Durham, another $l2 million for the renovation of Rogers-Herr Middle School, $8 million for the renovation ofCarrington Middle School and $6.6 million for the renovation of Lakewood Elementary School.

Some officials feel that the first referendum should have allocated more funds for the projects. “If it was my desire, I would have wanted a larger amount,” said Mozell Robinson, a school board member.

Robinson emphasized the need for community input and understanding. “I am optimistic [concerning community support for the plan] and think the See REFERENDUM on page 4

Corrections A page-one story in the Jan. 22 Chronicle incorrectly described the size of Duke’s biweekly paid workforce. It actually numbers about 15,000, or 60 percent ofDuke’s entire employee body.

A page-eight comic credit in the Jan. 22 edition incorrectly identified its cartoonist. The comic, called Through the Looking Glass, was drawn and written by senior Dan Kahler.

By KENNETH REINKER The Chronicle Two-thirds of students who enrolled in the University of North Carolina system in 1996 did not graduate within four years, a recent report shows—but that’s not as bad as it might sound.

If anything, we are probably ahead ofwhat we see in most public university systems,” said Gary Barnes, UNO’s vice president for program assessment and public service.

The 2001 Report on Retention, Graduation, and Time-to-Degree looked at the 16 schools in the UNC system. Of those schools, UNC-Chapel Hill had the highest four-year graduation rate, at 67 percent, while UNCPembroke had the lowest, with 17 percent. System-wide, the four-year graduation rate was 33 percent. at first glance these graduation rates seem very low—especially compared with Duke’s four-year graduation rate of 86 percent—the UNC system seems to compare favorably with the public university systems from other states. For example, the University ofFlorida system has a 30 percent four-year rate.

UNC’s 33 percent four-year graduation rate represents an eight-tenths of a point increase from the matriculating class of 1995. This is the fifth consecutive year the rate has increased.

A different report, released by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, whose Board of Directors is chaired by former Gov. James Hunt, gave North Carolina a B+ in “Completion Rates.” North Carolina tied with Minnesota for seventh best in completion rates among all states.

Joni Finney, vice president of the National Center for Public Policy, said North Carolina’s high-quality secondary education helped its students do well in college. However, she said, relatively few North Carolinians actually go on to college.

“What any state should do is look at their own data and see what their own datareveals about the strengths and weaknesses of the system,” Finney said, stressing that individual states are best equipped to analyze and solve their own problems.

Bames, the UNC vice president, said that once all the variables are taken into account, “many campuses [in the UNC systeml with low retention rates do better than expected,” meaning that their graduation rates are higher than their circumstances would predict. The most important factor in graduation rates is the retention rate, that is, the number of students who remain at the school after each year.

The retention rate for the UNC system as a whole from freshman to sophomore year is approximately 80 percent.

The education level of parents, family income, whether a student enrolls full time, whether the school is in an urban setting and whether students work during college, Bames said, also determine graduation rate.

The rate of work has been going up for some time, including last year, and can have a significant affect on students’ studies or full-time status.

Traditionally, “low tuition has been used to deal with the financial burden of college, while need-based aid is fairly limited,” Bames said, adding that a new program could reduce the number of students who must work to pay for school. Finney said North Carolina’s students have a higher amount of debt than many states, but that the state is doing relatively well overall.

There have been other initiatives to increase graduation rates, but the majority of these are done on an institution-by-institution basis, not by the Board of Governors. But “the board has certainly gone on the record to support higher graduation rates,” Bames said.

In 1994, the UNC Board of Governors limited to 128 the number of course hours that could be taken for graduation, and the result was what Barnes termed “a very significant improvement.” Also, the basis on which courses could be dropped or repeated and the GPA needed to get into majors were examined.

After a few minutes of confusion, tenters find the registration spot

JENNY ROBINSON/THE

CHRONICLE

Even with complex offensive tactics in hand and the Carolina game in sight, Cameron Crazies couldn’t find the endzone yesterday morning.

By 7:20 a.m. Head Line Monitor Norm Bradley and his troops were settled on Wallace Wade Stadium’s 50-yard line, waiting for an associate to post their location online and for Cameron Crazies to rush at 7:30 a.m. to register for the last 50 tent spots.

But what was supposed to be a stampede-like start to the regular tenting season began as a trickle and ended with a furious race. Duke Student Government officials got stalled while trying to post the registration location on the website amidst 4,120 hits between 7 and 8 a.m. yesterday morning.

“The technology was certainly disappointing,” said Bradley, a senior. “However, I was very pleased by the end result; while people had to wait, at least the process was fair—everyone knew at the same time.”

Almost everyone. One of Tent 51 and 52’s more-than-a-dozen operatives managed to follow one of the line monitors down to the registration point. They signed up at 8:20 a.m., but everyone else was at the mercy of DSG web guru Adam Mercer, a sophomore.

Teams of as many as 20 people had split up across campus, connected by cell phones and two-way radios, to prepare to be the first to arrive at the undisclosed location of registration. But their complex schemes, in many cases dreamed up weeks before, were neutralized as Mercer struggled to post the key information. Members of Tent 71, which had nine freshmen driving through Research Drive and standing on academic quads communicating with a base on East Campus, heard the location only after others on West Campus told them where to go. “Back at base, we never got the right location,” said freshman Jeanne Rittschof.

By 7:40, though, the problem was fixed, the location was online and word had spread.

Lines of tenters shot down the stadium stairs, wave behind wave, and by the time it was done at around 8:20 a.m., Krzyzewskiville’s 100-tent population limit was filled and 10 tents were on the waitlist. By evening, the waitlist had grown to 12.

Fifty tenting spaces were reserved for this style of tenting to allow more moderate tenters a chance to see the Carolina, Maryland and Wake Forest men’s basketball games without having to camp out for months. Personal checks for all tents began last night at 9 p.m. and ran until 8 a.m. They pick up again tonight at 5 p.m., and wristbands will be distributed to tenters at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow.

Bradley expects he will be able to allow admission to Wednesday’s game to several hundred people from the walk-in line.

major opposition.

Ron Roukema, assistant principal at Rogers-Herr Middle School, said major renovations are necessary to accommodate changes in his school’s student body. The school plans on expanding to accommodate an eighth-grade class as well as sixth- and seventh grade classes next year.

“The facilities in general are 34 years old,” Roukema said. “We need more classroom space to accommodate our students.” He also said the school’s athletic facilities and technological infrastructure in particular need to be improved.

The debt on the bonds could be covered by raising property taxes in the

county. However, other payment options are being explored. For example, a sales tax or a prepared food tax could be used to raise hinds.

Other local school systems have also tried education bond referenda. A referendum similar to Durham’s failed in Wake County in 1999. “We had strong opposition because we were going to raise property taxes,” said Kristin Wood, public information administrator for Wake County schools.

However, the system soon gained support for the bonds by seeking community input. “We created a Citizens Advisory Group that studied our system, needs and finances and came up with a new plan,” Wood said. The newer referendum was passed in November 2000.

Although a similar referendum was passed in 1991, which involved both city and county schools, this would be the first bond referendum for the merged city-county school system.

pledge classes were so huge and some sororities were more selective with rushees throughout the process,” said Snell, a senior.

While 408 women registered for formal rush—with over 15 percent of them sophomores— approximately 10 percent dropped out over the course of the week. The most common reasons included disinterest and unexcused absences from rush rounds.

Of the women who did complete the entire process, only seven women did not receive a bid. In the majority of these cases the women had “intentionally single-preferenced” one sorority after the last round of rush.

This practice, commonly referred to as “suiciding,” is heavily discouraged

by Panhel because it significantly low-

ers the chances that women will receive a bid.

Panhel leaders were pleased with the relatively low number of no-bids.

“Most sororities in the Southeast region have about a five to 10 percent nobid rate, and it used to be fairly high at Duke. So we’re down where we should be,” said Snell. “It is typical to have

iHI

some no-bids. Ideally there would be none at all, but seven is a number that I can live with—and it is a number that I think the Duke community can live with.”

Officials noted that the number of alleged rush infractions was up considerably from last year.

Part of the increase, Snell explained, had to do with a new policy of no contact with potential members for the duration of rush.

In the past, the policy stipulated that sorority members could have no purposeful seeking of contact, but because that rule was so loosely defined, it was revised this year to ban any email, phone calls or conversation between rushees and sorority sisters.

“We did not want the potential new members to feel any sort of pressure,” said Snell. “We can’t stop them from talking to their friends, but we wanted to stop any pressure from current sorority members.”

Alpha Epsilon Phi and Alpha Phi, the two sororities who did not participate in formal rush, will be continuing with their own informal rush procedures in the coming weeks.

Officials hope new system Duke to spend more money will have more flexibility on Blue Devil Days program BROADBAND from page 1 we were looking at the beginning of the end,” said Landen Bain, chief information officer for Duke University Health System. “It was going to get worse before we intervened.... We were starting to see some ominous signs.”

The University has reclassified about 300 jobs in Medical Center Information Systems, the Office of Information Technology, Perkins Library and the School of Law. The broadbanding implementation team is now working on the Fuqua School ofBusiness and Auxiliary Services.

‘The anecdotal results are that people are able to become [involved] in many, different projects [due to the reclassification],” said Clint Davidson, vice president for human resources. “Many have learned new skills, and they can apply them as new technology comes to life....

People really like variety, they like

change, they like differences.”

Officials say broadbanding also gives more flexibility to managers, who have traditionally had to deal with mountains of red tape when trying to make salary adjustments, something that could cost them employees.

Still, administrators admit the new system is not perfect. In particular, they will have to pay careful attention to any possible perception of pay inequity. Companies who use broadbanding may find it difficult to justify paying one employee more than another who is performing similar tasks. Rob Carter, director of OIT Systems Administration, said such cases

have mainly occurred in the implementation phase. “There was this hanging question for employees.... ‘lf you’re changing my title, how do I know I’m not getting burned?,’” Carter said. “They wanted to get a feel for whether the new title is higher or lower, but there wasn’t a way to compare them.” He said that the implementation team looked at each em-

ployee separately—without looking at

potential salary changes when reclassifying—to try to alleviate such concerns.

Angela Dronsfield, director of finance and administration for OIT, explained that deciding on the placement of an employee within a given band is an elaborate process. The implementation team conducts a series of slotting sessions

which are standardized across depart-

ments, and there is a series of reviews to ensure the process’ fairness.

Mike Pickett, associate chief information officer, said the University will have to pay careful attention to the issue. He added that another concern which will require careful monitoring is the potential for Duke salaries to be below the prevailing market wage.

Officials agree that Duke will never compete financially with many private companies. Although salaries have increased, Duke will have to rely on other advantages to retain many employees.

“Our mission is different than a for-profit [company],” Pickett said. “The thought of helping people do excellent research and develop young minds... is something they go home feeling better about.”

What would Jefferson do?

Duke’s paycheck problem

The

University’s decision to give biweekly employees a $7.8 million bonus is a bold and honorable step. Duke is updating its payroll system, and rather than gravely inconveniencing its employees by making them wait an extra week for their paychecks, the University has decided to give its workers a break —and a sweetheart deal. For this decision, the Duke administration deserves a lot of praise.

This decision shows that administrators have finally begun to real-

ize that Duke’s corporate actions can have a tremendous impact on the daily lives of its employees. This was the right thing for the University to do, and it w as very generous.

r

Furthermore, the office of Human Resources’ efforts to work with local creditors to alert them to the potential problems is extremely commendable. The University’s work on many fronts to meet the needs of employees who often live paycheck-to-paycheck demonstrates true insight and care.

For example the Duke University Federal Credit Union’s decision to add one week to each biweekly employee’s loan is an excellent gesture by administrators and demonstrates a sincere concern by administrators for employees.

Unfortunately, there exists a great deal of distrust between the University and employees. This action by the University will not solve all the problems, but it is a great first step. In the long run, bonuses are not be enough; trust can not be bought. Duke must remain dedicated to encouraging respect between employees and managers and the administration.

Better, not best, practices

The

recently released Best Practices document, outlining professional expectations for graduate students, mentors and departments does little more than reiterate basic guidelines for creating a productive and collegial research environment.

And, given the current environment, where administrators understand graduate student life, and most graduate students seem pleased with departmental and mentor relations, the document could seem pointless.

However, the Best Practices document is important insofar as it details for future graduate classes—and administrators—Duke’s commitment to good graduate education: meaningful research projects, fair treatment and honest and thorough evaluation.

Duke’s graduate students have relatively little to complain about, and their issues have received exceptional attention from both Dean of the Graduate School Lew Siegel and President Nan Keohane.

Still, these Best Practices could be better.

What is lacking in the document is a method of mediation, outside of departments, for students who feel their needs are not being served.

The document is written with the expectation that working within the departmental hierarchy, students can achieve results, and without complications. Although this is often the case, it is essential that each graduate department or the Graduate and Professional Student Council provide an outlet for advice and mediation outside the department.

Gay and straight relationships: Not separate or unequal No coming, no going James Harkins The matter of same-sex unions in the Chapel has been resolved, and rightly, I might add; now comes the aftermath. Many in the Duke community are unhappy with the decision, and I hope that we will all use the feelings of conflict that remain as an opportunity to come to greater understanding of people different from ourselves.

But the Duke Conservative Union has already promised a fight. It’s unfortunate: They claim to be defending “religious freedom,” but the actual policy they endorse results in freedom for religious groups that agree with their stance on homosexuality, and second-class status for everyone else. For the administration to support religious freedom, it must be neutral, neither prohibiting same-sex unions nor compelling any denomination to perform them. This is exactly the policy that’s just been enacted. What’s

the problem?

There may actually be good arguments against this decision, although I haven’t heard any yet that convince me. The only one that’s given me any pause comes from Duke theology professor Geoffrey Wainwright, who was quoted in The Spectator last December: “For many, myself included, such ceremonies would desecrate a space they believe hallowed by decades of prayer and which they expected to be able to continue to use for Christian worship.”

This is such a staggering claim that I’m not sure where to begin. Think about it: He’s saying that same-sex unions are so horrifying that an hour-long

ceremony could undo “decades of prayer” and render the space unfit for worship.

I’m a gay man with an active spiritual practice, and I’m fortunate to be surrounded by people who see me for who I am and support me as I grow in compassion and wisdom through my practice; so I’m taken aback to be reminded that there are people who see my life, and my way of loving, as having such tremendous evil power. My friends would not recognize me in Professor Wainwright’s assessment of the value of gay lives and loves.

If religious policy on homosexuality is to be sound, it must take into account the full range of gay and

lesbian ways of being. If it doesn’t take this into account, then it’s based less on reality than on certain heterosexuals’ skewed views. Tradition may dictate that all same-sex relationships are “immoral” (nevermind that this is a shallow reading of a tiny handful of less-than-central Bible verses)—but how does a particular relationship work in real life? If the relationship brings joy and healing into the world, what is gained by dismissing all of its benefits just because

one has always been taught that same-sex relationships have no benefits?

What is gained, I’ve come to realize, is that by denying the full richness and mystery of human experience, you don’t have to confront the hard fact that “conventional wisdom” doesn’t have all the answers.

Believing that you can find all the answers in a book or in your pastor is a kind of security blanket, but it isn’t a mature way to live. The truth is that we do the best we can with our limited, imperfect knowledge, and no divine imprimatur can raise human knowledge to the level of divine perfection.

To consider that some gays and lesbians may be living happy, healthy and holy lives is to stand with humility before the great mysteries of life on this earth and to find joy in life as it is. Conversely, to cut gay people’s lives out of one’s image of the world because they don’t fit one’s preconceptions is the opposite of humility and a rejection of mystery. We say, “God works in mysterious ways,” but when it comes to sexuality, many people seem unwilling to trust the mystery, preferring instead to let tradition make their decisions for them.

What it boils down to, finally, is a matter of faith.

Are we willing to trust that the Divine has things under control even if we don’t fully understand what’s going on? Can we trust that the Divine is working through gay and lesbian lives? If we’re not willing to trust, what does that say about the limitations of our faith? Is it that we believe, and trust, so far—but no further?

Everyone’s faith has some limits, but the point of spirituality is to encounter those limits again and again, expanding them until you see that the limits were never really real. Anti-gay beliefs serve no purpose but to preserve those limits. It’s time to let them go.

Beard-less Blue Devils top Cavs in Charlottesville CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. When she arrived at Duke a year ago, her coach called her the best ball-handler in the history of the program. Better than 1999 graduate Nicole Erickson, better than every Blue Devil ever.

Brody Greenwald Game Commentary But after a sound freshman season in which she scored nine points per game, Sheana Mosch receded into the shadows of a new class of freshmen this season. She started every game and she did the little things, crashed the boards, hit her select short-range jumpers, helped run the offense, but for the most part, she left the scoring load to her teammates.

And her points production dropped, rounding out at sevenand-change entering last night’s 71-68 victory over defending ACC

regular-season champion Virginia. In her stead, there were freshman sensations Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis and reigning ACC player of the year Georgia Schweitzer to account for nearly half of the Blue Devils’ offense. In 18 starts, she eclipsed double-digits just six times, never scoring more than the 14 she chipped in when the Clearfield, Penn., native had a homecoming of sorts against Penn State.

Then there was last night. At Virginia’s University Hall, Beard sat in street clothes with a cast half the size of her arm protecting her recently dislocated thumb. Tillis, meanwhile, struggled through one of the worst shooting games of her

career and

when the defense

clamped down on Schweitzer in the second half, it became clear the senior captain could not do it all.

Enter Mosch, who shaked-andbaked her way to 25 points on 12 field goals that rarely came from beyond a few feet.

“I think everybody knew they had to step up; Alana does so much for this team, not just one person could fill that slot,” Mosch said after the game. “I knew I could drive on them a lot it’s not that hard to make layups.”

From running the fast break to hitting just about every shot she attempted, Mosch turned in her most dominant performance of the season. Despite hitting careerhighs in points, minutes and field goals made, Mosch’s heroic gameclinching play came off one of her five misses on the night, and it was

a free shot at that.

Standing at the ffee-throw line with 6.6 seconds left and the Blue Devils up three, 71-68, Mosch tossed up an errant free throw on the front end of a one-and-one.

Between her and the ball stood a pair of Cavalier defenders, but neither boxed out Mosch and the gritty sophomore dodged them both to snag the loose ball and outlet it to teammate Rochelle Parent. By the time Parent was fouled with less than three seconds remaining, Virginia’s hopes of a comeback were dead.

“I was really mad that I missed it, so I wanted to get it back,” Mosch said. “That’s all.”

But there was more to it than that, as a season sleeper found a groove that left Cavalier guard Anna Prillaman watching the back ofMosch’s jersey time and again on REGAN HSU/THE CHRONICLE easy layups.

Swimming teams pound Cougars in Charleston

By CLINTON McHUGH The Chronicle

When the men’s and women’s swim

teams head down to the South Carolina coast, they generally expect a warm reception from their friendly rivals at the College of Charleston before competing in a close meet.

The good feelings may ebb, however, if the Cougars find themselves averse to losing by a large margin to a team that just two years ago barely beat them. The Blue Devils dominated Charleston last weekend, the men winning 160-71 and the women 172-69. The men’s team improved to 4-2, while the women now

REGAN HSU/THE CHRONICLE

BETSY STEWART competes in the backstroke at a recent meet at William and Mary. She was part of the team that soundly beat the College of Charleston last weekend to start the season 5-1.

hold an impressive 5-1 record.

“Charleston looked really good in the sprints and the relays,” said coach Bob Thompson. “They really couldn’t handle the distance though, and struggled in anything 200 meters or longer.”

At Charleston, which boasts one of the few pools in the NCAA to be 25 meters in length rather than 25 yards, the races are measured in meters. The change in distance is nice for the swimmers, however, taking the stress for times out of their swims.

“The pool was a distance we’re not used to swimming,” said assistant coach Whitney Greene. “So it was nice to let everybody just get up and race without having to worry about their times.”

With swimming in such a pool a rarity, Thompson joked that everyone had best times. Despite the strangeness of their surroundings, the swimmers still performed well enough to win 20 of the 26 events between both men and women.

The men were led by freshman Travis

French, who placed first in both the 800meter freestylestyle (8:57.39) and 400meter freestylestyle (4:16.40).

Other freshmen wins included Trevor Yates in the 200 freestyle (2:00.30) and Conor O’Brien in the 100-meter freestyle (53.87).

Junior Chris Fleizach pulled double duty in the 200 butterfly and backstroke once again, winning the butterfly with a time of 2:11.20. He was beaten out in the backstroke by teammate Ryan Harsch, who placed first with a time of 2:11.80.

Senior Matt Lynch won the 200 individual medley in 2:16.63, while sophomore Ryan Spoon predictably finished first in the 200 breaststroke by seven seconds with a time of 2:23.83 to round out the individual wins for the men.

The women’s team was led by its freshmen, as Lauren Hancock, Lauren Cornet and Amy Halligan each accounted for two of the team’s six individual swimming wins, and Amanda Davis won the three-meter diving competition with 199.87 points.

Hancock won the 400- and 800-meter freestylestyles with times of 4:36.97 and 9:24.60, respectively. Cornet was the victor in the 200 freestyle, finishing in 2:12.06, and the 200 breaststroke in 2:42.90. Halligan touched first in the 200 individual medley (2:28.07) and 100 freestyle (1:01.58).

Senior diving captain Kristy Guenther won the one-meter diving, earning the day off Monday along with Davis as a reward for their wins from diving coach Kerri Norman.

The swimmers return to action on when Saturday, they head to Charlottesville to face Virginia.

Indoor track leaves Va. Tech with solid start to season Both men and women depart Blacksburg happy with records, see room for improvement

By ELIZABETH COLUCCI The Chronicle

Though both the women’s and men’s indoor track seasons are only newly underway, the Blue Devils turned in an solid overall performance at this past weekend’s Kroger Invitational at Virginia Tech. It was a promising start to perhaps another successful season.

Women’s head coach Jan Ogilvie was extremely satisfied with the performances of her squad, especially with three new indoor school records.

Sophomore triple jumper Jodi Schlesinger, competed in her first meet at Duke after suffering a season-ending injury last winter. Her eleventh-place jump of 38 feet and four inches shattered the old Duke record of 35-8.75.

Also contributing to the Duke jumping power was freshman Ifey Anoliefo, who tied Duke’s indoor long jump record of 18-2.5 and took 20th in the competition.

Junior Kim Hanauer, a consistently

strong shot putter for the Blue Devils,

broke her own record with a throw of 417.25, earning an llth-place finish.

Ogilvie also complimented the performances of junior Katie Atlas and seniors Megan Sullivan, Erin McClure and Jillian Schwartz.

Atlas took third in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:10.03, enough to meet ECAC standards and place second all-time in the Duke record book.

Sullivan grabbed third and a personal-best record in the mile with a time

of 4:53.13, while

McClure flew

through the 200-meter dash in 26.66 seconds, one of the top-five times in Duke history. Schwartz, with last spring’s stellar pole vault season under her belt, took second with a vault of 11-11.75.

Ogilvie said she is extremely optimistic about the team’s prospects for the rest of the season.

“It is very early in the indoor season and everyone is tired this time of

year,” she said. “All this considered,

the performances on Saturday were a great start. We are hoping to see big improvements as the weeks progress and we get fitter.”

The Duke men also had much to boast about after Saturday’s meet.

Senior veteran Brendan Fitzgibbon produced a more-than-satisfying second-place performance in the 3,000meter run with a time of 8:25.37, which fell just shy of the all-time indoor record at Duke.

Other strong performers on the track included both junior Bill Spierdowis, who captured sixth in the 800-meter run (1:54) and junior Jim Martin who took seventh in the 5000meter run (15:27.31) On the field, junior Seth Benson produced a solid fourth-place performance with a pole vault of 16-0.75.

Duke track and field will take 14 men and 14 women this weekend to Boston to compete in the Terrier Classic where the squad will look to build on their start.

“We knew they averaged six threes a game, we knew they were going to get six threes,” said Goestenkors. “But usually they get 24 from Laßue too. We wanted to shut down one or the other.”

And although the Cavaliers nailed seven threes in the opening half—led by Svetlana Volnaya’s four—Virginia hit just 2-of-7 in the decisive second half.

The win marks a solid beginning to one of the toughest stretches of the year for the Blue

Devils, who this week still have to face North Carolina on the road and No. 20 Clemson still without Beard, who isn’t expected to play until the second week of February.

And unlike a year ago when the Blue Devils had to recover

from the loss of senior captain Peppi Browne, Goestenkors leaves Charlottesville regrouping, not revamping.

“The win [without Alanal means a great deal,” Goestenkors said. “We talked about how adversity makes a team. Last year [without Peppi] the character we saw was not that of a champion. We’re a year older, a year wiser and it was good to see we were a year tougher.”

COMMENTARY from page 13

Prillaman, a freshman guard who has been a pleasant surprise for the Cavaliers, watched tape on Mosch before last night’s game, but what the hapless Virginia saw from Mosch in person belied what her coaches disclosed her on film.

‘The scouting report told me she was a great penetrator and to play off her a bit, that’s what I tried to do, but it wasn’t good enough,” said Prillaman, who gave up a back-breaking jumper by Mosch with only 18.6

seconds back.

Sensing the finality of the situation, Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors called a 30-second timeout with 31 seconds remaining in the game and 13 showing on the shot clock. As the clock began to wind down, it was Mosch who took the ball and went baseline on Prillaman.

There were not many other times she let the ball loose from mid-range or deeper, but this time Mosch elevated over Prillaman and launched a 16-footer as the shot clock expired. Into the bottom of the net went the ball and off the bench leaped the Duke players, now up by five thanks to the game’s hero.

That basket, Mosch’s last of the game, capped a second half run in which she scored 16 points on 8-for-9 shooting.

“In the first half, it was Schweitzer that was killing us and Mosch wasn’t really much of a concern,” Virginia coach Debbie Ryan said. “Then in the second half, Mosch got in transition and started hitting layups and short-range jumpers. I’d venture to guess that most ofher stuff was layups.”

Layups or not, a field goal is a field goal and a point is a point. And last night, Mosch had more than anyone. Besides, as she said, it’s not very hard to make layups.
