Duke faces No. 4 UNC tonight Sub shop comes back to points
By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle
There’s an electricity in the air. The tenters are out in full force. Journalists from near and far have invaded the Duke campus. Opposing players are exchanging barbs. It can only mean one thing—the most divisive rivalry in all of college sports is ready to resume. More than three months into the college basketball season, one month after brave students first pitched tents in Krzyzewskiville, and only five days after Duke barely survived its overtime contest against Maryland, the No. 2 Blue Devils (19-1, 7-0 in the ACC) take the court tonight at 9 p.m. against their archrivals from eight miles down the road, No. 4 North Carolina (17-2, 7-0). And the stakes could not be any higher. National respect, a hold on first place in the ACC and, of course, bragging rights are all at stake when Duke and

UNC meet. “Hey, this is North Carolina. This is why you come here,” senior forward Shane Battier said. “This being my last time around, I’m trying to savor every moment of it. It’s special. I’ll never be part of something like this again, no matter where I play.”
The attention surrounding the game is nearly overwhelming. Not since 1998, when Duke and North Carolina entered their first contest ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in the nation, respectively, has the matchup been met with such fanfare. In fact, as many as 30 journalists showed up for yesterday’s press conference and many more are expected for the game itself. See DUKE-UNC on page 14 S*

Two years after being kicked off Duke’s Merchants-on-Points program, popular sandwich shop Jimmy John’s will deliver on points once again. The Ninth Street restaurant was booted from the dining plan in 1999 because managers attempted to raise prices above the 15 percent mark-up permitted by Dining Services. Now that the restaurant is under new ownership, Duke will give the delivery service another chance starting later this month. “We want them back as long as Faisal Ghani, [former vice president of operations for Jimmy John’s in North Carolina], is not involved with program,” said Jim Wulforst, director of Dining Services. “Ghani tried to capture the market by beginning with really low prices, then he wanted to come back and gouge the students with higher prices.” See JIMMY JOHN’S on page 6 �

The history of Krzyzewskiville can be traced back to a game of quarters, 15 crazy undergraduates and a rented tent from UHaul. “It was common for people to line up hours before a game,” said Kimberly Reed, Trinity ’B6, who was one of the first tenters. “We were playing quarters one night at Mirecourt and joking about how early we were going to line up for the ’B6 [University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill] game.

said, ‘Why don’t we just pitch a tent?’ After a few rounds of quarters, it began to sound like a good idea.” Reed and about 15 of her friends, many of whom were members of the Air Force ROTC, rented a tent from UHaul and set up camp in front of
Cameron in March 1986. “We were going to ask permission from Dean Sue, but then we just decided to ask forgiveness later,” she said. The adventurous fans set up four tents in front of Cameron on Thursday for the Saturday game See K-VILLE on page 7 P-
