Napster readies for paid service Media executive Thomas Middelhoff announced last week that Napster will be charging about $l5 per month starting this summer. Students do not seem to mind.

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Signaling a step away from free file-sharing over the Internet, the head of media conglomerate Bertelsmann AG affirmed last week his company’s plans to turn the popular Napster service into a fee-based system as early as this summer.

“We carried out market research among 20,000 Napster users,” Bertelsmann AG Chair Thomas Middelhoff said at a Jan. 29 economic forum in Davos, Switzerland. “The willingness to pay is given.”

Napster—the Internet-based program that allows users, including many Duke students, to swap digital music files—agreed to collaborate on charging fees three months ago after copyright lawsuits threatened to shut down the service altogether. Bertelsmann AG, which owns music giant BMG, is investing $5O million to remake Napster and hopefully prevent copyright infringement.

Napster officials declined to comment on the possible specifics of a fee-based system or how Napster will be able to compete with similar free services.

But the announcement of an inevitable fee for Napster use—around $l5 per month according to Middelhoff—may come as a culture shock to students accustomed to free, unlimited access to music.

“I- think Napster use will go down simply because students aren’t use to paying for it,” said freshman Elisabeth Ferlic, echoing the predictions of many students.

Although record companies may be hoping that Napster’s decline translates to increased album sales, they may be disappointed that a commitment to the freemusic culture that has arisen on so many college camSee NAPSTER on page 8 �

STUDENTS ARE NOT BUYING as many groceries from Uncle Harry’s as they used to, and the store is feeling it—its sales in fall 2000 were down $lOl,OOO from fall 1999. Administrators are evaluating several solutions to the problem.

Uncle Harry’s revenue nosedives

By JULIA CONNORS The Chronicle

Many Central Campus residents have shifted their food point spending from grocery stores to processed food vendors this fall, and University grocery stores have taken a big hit, said Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services Joe Pietrantoni.

After examining student spending trends for the 1999 and 2000 fall semesters, Pietrantoni found

that although students spent 1 percent more points this fall than last, campus grocery stores have seen drastically lower revenue.

Although the Lobby Shop, the East Campus Store and Uncle Harry’s took in a combined total of $170,000 less this fall than in the fall of 1999, Uncle Harry’s has become the greatest concern, since it was responsible for $lOl,OOO of the decreased revenue.

“There has been a shift to

processed food between the two semesters, and we will continue to watch to see if this trend continues or grows stronger during the spring semester,” Pietrantoni said, “The trend could reverse in the fiiture, but most likely it won’t.”

On-campus grocery stores find themselves at a disadvantage as compared to larger, off-campus markets that can purchase food from wholesale dealers and can See GROCERIES on page 6

When Duke Student Government President Jordan Bazinsky learned that The Chronicle would profile him for this series about the Young Trustee finalists, he almost said no. “Everybody has already heard too much about me,” Bazinsky joked.

From advocating same-sex unions in the Chapel to sitting on the Alcohol Task Force, Bazinsky has been in the spotlight all year long. He has argued passionately before the Board of Trustees in the past

“I love Duke,” said Bazinsky, a senior. “I have really solid experience in dealing with the board and all different levels ofDuke’s... administration. I have the energy and the ability to build consensus.”

Bazinsky said the three most important initiatives facing the board during his tenure as Young Trustee would be long-range planning, proposals for a multicultural center and the structure of the board itself.

Witness testifies in bombing trial A former terrorist revealed information about Osama bin Laden’s organization

By BENJAMIN WEISER

New York Times News Service

NEW YORK A secret government witness emerged Tuesday to tell a hushed federal courtroom in Manhattan how he helped the Saudi exile Osama bin Laden move money and arms to other terrorist groups in Africa and the Middle East as part of a conspiracy aimed at the United States.

The witness, Jamal Al-Fadl, was the first witness called in the trial offour men charged with par-

ticipating in a terrorism conspiracy led by bin Laden, which prosecutors say included the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The blasts

killed 224 people and wounded thousands.

Al-Fadl’s identity has been a closely kept secret during the government’s lengthy investigation of bin Laden, when he was referred to in court papers only as CS-1, for confidential source. The sensitivity of his appearance was immediately evident when the judge, Leonard Sand of U.S. District Court in Manhattan, ordered a group ofillustrators seated in the heavily guarded courtroom not to sketch Al-Fadl in any way.

pushing for his tax-cut proposal, Bush plans to hold the line on most other programs.

That is causing concern among congressional Republicans and Pentagon officials who have urged Bush to raise military spending by tens of billions of dollars this year and next to make up for nearly a decade of what they consider debilitating reductions.

Even as the administration was tamping down expectations for next year’s budget, Vice President Dick Cheney was telling Senate Republicans Tuesday not to expect the White House to request billions of dollars in more military spending for this year, Senate aides said.

The armed services have warned they may have to cut back training programs and maintenance if they do not receive $8 billion in the next few months.

Two years ago, the decision was made (and endorsed by the Information Technology Advisory Committee, the Executive Committee of the Academic Council, and Duke senior officers) not to upgrade or replace the current (now obsolete) modem pool. Because many commercial Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide faster, more reliable dial-up service for a reasonable price and because the cost ofmaintaining the current modem pool is substantial, it was felt that these resources could be better used in other areas of IT support.

Israel elects right-wing Sharon prime minister Barak concedes election Tuesday evening after polls show 24-point margin

By DEBORAH SONTAG

New York Times News Service

JERUSALEM Ariel Sharon, a burly 72-year-old hawk who heads a newly reinvigorated right wing, rode a wave of national anxiety to an overwhelming electoral victory Tuesday as Israel’s fifth prime minister in just more than five years.

Concluding a campaign held against a backdrop of the worst Israeli-Palestinian violence in years, Sharon defeated Prime Minister Ehud Barak by a walloping 62 to 38 percent of the votes, with 90 percent of the polling stations counted. This margin is unprecedented in Israeli electoral history, as was the record-low voter-turnout, following expressions of disaffection with the candidates and the political system.

At a fairgrounds in Tel Aviv, Sharon, grinning in exultation, gave a highly conciliatory victory speech about healing Israel’s rifts and proposed a national unity government. Immediately beforehand, he said, he had spoken with President Bush-, who reminded him of a trip that they had taken through the West Bank years ago.

“He said to me, ‘No one would have believed then that I would be president and you would be prime minister,’” Sharon said, chuckling, after hearing the phrase “Prime Minister Ariel Sharon” echoing for the first time through a large pavilion of cheering

supporters.

Barak conceded the election shortly before midnight on Tuesday, looking tired but still campaigning, this time for his own place in history. He surprised both Sharon and his own advisers by announcing that he would step down as Labor Party leader, too, and resign his seat in parliament. This pitches the Labor Party into a succession battle and makes the chances

of a unity government less likely, although Barak suggested that it should not be “ruled out.”

For Sharon, the decisive victory over Barak means the triumphant realization of a lifelong ambition, particularly sweet because he has been written off so many times as a relic of a bygone era.

Presumed to be unelectable because of his age, his views and his checkered past, Sharon refused to quit the public stage until he had a chance to redeem his legacy. And Tuesday it was just such bulldog determination that attracted Israeli voters, who said they

“We need a strong hand, otherwise it is the Arab’s nature to exploit our weaknesses,” said Hila Barabash, a 25-year-old secretary, as she voted for Sharon in south Jerusalem Tuesday afternoon. “But still he’s pretty extreme. I’m afraid of a war.”

Sharon who surprised many by running on a peace platform, sought to ease such concerns in his calm, au-

thoritative victory speech. Surrounded by Israel’s top right-wing and religious politicians, a snapshot of the narrow government that he will head if Labor rejects his invitation, he called for a return to dialogue with the Palestinians.

“I call upon our Palestinians neighbors to cast off the path of violence and return to the path of dialogue and solving the conflicts between us by peaceful means,” he said.

The Palestinians are wary. Sharon roused the Tel

Aviv crowd with a pledge to keep Jerusalem united under Israeli sovereignty, and that together with his previous statements about the contours of a suggested peace “arrangement” suggest to them that there is no basis for discussion, they say.

Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader, issued a brief statement saying that the Palestinians would respect the decision of the Israeli people.

“There is an anxiety among the Palestinians given the man’s history,” said Nabil Shaath, a senior Palestinian official. “It seems that maybe he is not the man to advance peace but rather to destabilize the region.”

Sharon’s has come under fire inside Israel, internationally and particularly through the Arab world for his mastermind role in the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. After the invasion, Israel’s Christian allies massacred Palestinian refugees inside camps in Beirut that were surrounded by Israeli See ISRAEL on page 8 >

Hormone therapy safe for some women

A new study reports that hormone replacement therapy does not increase the risk of stroke in postmenopausal women who already have heart disease. However, the study also confirmed that hormone therapy does not reduce the risk of stroke either, as some previous studies claimed.

The researchers compiled results from over 2,700 women, making their study the most credible performed on the matter. Women often undergo hormone replacement therapy after they reach menopause to prevent hot flashes and bone loss.

In 1994, a protein called Leptin posted similar results in lab mice but ultimately proved ineffective in humans.

Argentine tly exacts revenge on fireants

The United States Department of Agriculture believes it has found the ultimate weapon in its fight against red fireants—an Argentine fly no larger than a pinhead. The fly deposits its eggs inside the fireant, a process that ends up eating the ant from the inside.

Currently, the USDA is testing the fly's effectiveness in pilot programs in 11 states. Ever since a cargo ship carried the insects from South America to Mobile, Ala. in the 19305, the red fireants have spread outward from their original entry point at an average rate of 6-12 miles per year—scientists predict that if their march is not checked the fireants will invade Washington D.C. within two decades.

Shorter days may make you feel blue

If you find yourself feeling down every winter, it may simply be that the days are shorter and the nights are longer. Mild depression this time of year is a typical reaction to the general lack of sunlight. But if the condition persists every winter and lasts for more than just a few rainy days, you may be exhibiting the signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder. Past clinical studies have shown that devices designed to replicate the sun’s rays—also known as light boxes —can help dramatically improve people’s moods if used for about half-an-hour each morning.

Still, even if the light boxes prove effective, experts suggest seeking help from a professional because SAD could be the tip of an iceberg.

Genes stimulate axon regeneration Researchers hope their finding will pave the way for the treatment of spinal cord injuries

By JENNIFER SONG The Chronicle

Humans with spinal cord injuries may someday be able to regenerate critical nerve cells using genetic therapy or drugs, a study performed by

Medical Center researchers suggests.

The scientists succeeded in regenerating damaged spinal cord fibers in cultured mice nerve cells through a simple activation of two genes.

“We’ve known for some time that neurons in the adult spinal cord are not fully capable of supporting regeneration and repair, so we tested the internal capability of neurons to support regeneration,” said lead investigator Dr. Pate Skene, associate pro-

fessor of neurobiology.

Skene’s group inserted a combination of two genes, GAP-43 and CAP-23, into transgenic mice and found these genes could induce up to 60 times more regeneration of elongated nerve fibers called axons than insertion of one gene alone could.

“There has been a renewed interest in the possibility of stimulating axon regeneration in the damaged brain and spinal cord by increasing the intrinsic growth potential that lies within the damaged neuron. One might compare the strategy to the use of very high octane fuel to drive the motor of a car much faster than it normally might be [driven!,” Dr. Jerry Silver, professor of neuroscience at Case Western Reserve University, wrote in an e-mail. ‘The combined use of these two growth-associated proteins within the same neuron is more extreme than others had tried in the past.”

GAP-43 and CAP-23 are very abundant proteins found in the growth cone of an axon, and although their role is

AN AXON is a part of a neuron and thus plays an integral role in the transmission of nerve impulses through the body. Dr. Pate Skene’s research focuses on significantly boosting axon regeneration rates.

still poorly understood, they are believed to regulate axon growth.

“These two particular genes are normally expressed during the development of axons. [The genes] get turned off, and are turned back on only when they are needed for peripheral nerve regeneration—but not after spinal cord damage,” Skene said. “We found that stimulating a

combination of genes causes significant regeneration over long distances, which

has never been done before.”

Skene is now testing other combinations of genes and trying to understand the specific causal mechanism of how the two genes stimulate nerve cell regeneration. Although he is not entirely certain, Skene said he believes that the two proteins may operate in a cyclical fashion to promote regeneration.

“This would offer one explanation why the two proteins together stimulate a kind of growth that neither protein alone can elicit,” he said.

Skene is also interested in the practical applications of the study’s finding, especially examining whether hu-

mans can effectively use various gene therapies to treat spinal cord injuries.

Skene’s results strongly suggest that grafting necessary genes in replacement therapy or stimulating them with drugs may be able to encourage axon regeneration.

The study’s findings were published last month in the journal Nature Neuro-

science, and the research was funded by the National Institutes of Health, Novartis Pharmaceuticals and the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation.

Atlantis set to deliver station’s centerpiece Some scientists still doubt whether Destiny laboratory is worth its $6O billion price tag

By WARREN LEARY

New York Times News Service

One of the most WASHINGTON critical chapters in the young history of the International Space Station begins today, when the space shuttle Atlantis is to lift off bearing the station’s scientific centerpiece.

The 16-ton Destiny laboratory module is to be the focal point of more than a decade of research on the space station.

Destiny, which cost $1.38 billion to build, is the most expensive single piece of the modular station and a cornerstone around which the rest of the orbiting complex will be built. If the oneof-a-kind laboratory cannot be attached to the station or is lost in an accident, project construction could be delayed for years, NASA officials said.

‘This is a big deal for the station buildup,” said Robert Castle, the mission flight director. “Without the lab, we can’t go on to the next several missions. Without the next several missions, we can’t go on and finish building the station and put all the other research modules up.”

The countdown for the 11-day mis-

sion began Sunday, and space agency officials said they anticipated no problems that might delay a launching at 6:11 p.m. ET today.

Over the next three years, the 16 nations building the orbiting station hope to add four more laboratories: the European Space Agency’s Columbus module, the Japanese Space Agency’s Kibo unit and two Russian research nodes.

Although research is the focal point of the station, scientists have debated for years whether the knowledge gained will be worth the project’s anticipated costs of $6O billion to build and tens of billions more to maintain over a lifetime of 10 to 15 years. Several scientific societies, including the American Physical Society, have said there would be greater scientific return if the money were spent on ground-based research.

‘There will always be some scientific results when you spend this much money,” Dr. Robert Park, a physicist at the University of Maryland and a longtime critic of the space station, said Monday. “But there will be nothing that is worth these kinds of costs.”

However, NASA officials and other scientists insist that this space-based research will produce valuable dividends. And the agency says the added benefits of international cooperation and learning how to build and maintain long-duration spacecraft also make the project worthwhile.

Research on Destiny is not scheduled to begin for months because the module is so large and heavy that it must be stripped of most of its scientific equipment for the launching. The equipment will be delivered and installed on subsequent shuttle flights.

Destiny contains equipment to shift primary communications with the station to the United States and gear to activate large American stabilizing gyroscopes, moving responsibility for keeping the complex properly orientated to Houston.

Installing Destiny will be one of the most difficult missions ever undertaken by a shuttle crew, involving repositioning a docking port, maneuvering the cargo from the cramped cargo bay and conducting three spacewalks.

Grocery closings would not come immediately � GROCERIES from page I

charge lower prices. Pietrantoni is guessing that more students are frequenting neighboring grocery stores to save money.

When the on-campus grocery stores were initially planned, the largest of the

three, Uncle Harry’s, was placed on Central with the expectation that it would thrive because the campus has no other food options—but it is the Lobby Shop that has been most successful. Pietrantoni said the Lobby Shop will remain in the Bryan Center and may be expanded in the future, but the fate of the other two stores remains in question.

Concerned by the idea of possible

changes to Uncle Harry’s, senior Liz Oakes said, “I never used Uncle Harry’s until I lived on Central. Everyone on Central uses it, and this summer, when it closed at 6 p.m. instead ofthe normal 12 a.m., the hours were really limiting.”

Senior Eric Kao, who now lives on Central, worried that closing Uncle Harry’s would have devastating impact.

“Making changes to Uncle Harry’s would affect a lot ofpeople,” he said.

But Pietrantoni said he will not be taking action in a hurry. If the trend does continue, however, Pietrantoni will begin by meeting with the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee and members of Duke Student Gov-

eminent to hear suggestions on how to resolve the problems.

“Overall, the Duke stores are very healthy, and though we may be considering changes in the future, we are not doing anything drastic at this point,” Director ofDuke Stores Jim Wilkerson said.

Evaluating the impact of the recent shifts will begin with Duke Card system-based monitoring of each grocery store’s most profitable hours and days—especially Uncle Harry’s.

Administrators may eventually respond by changing the hours of business for a store to make it as profitable as possible—or in the extreme case—closing the store.

“The money is still at Duke, it’s just shifting,” Wilkerson said. “However, we

have to balance the business side with the service side. From a business standpoint, it may be better to have fewer stores, but that would leave at least one campus without one.”

While Pietrantoni is confident that the current meal plan is student-driven and that there is no weakness in each store’s product offerings, he believes that spending at all of Duke’s food providers—grocery stores, vending machines, Merchants on Points and athletic vendors—may have peaked, since food point spending has historically increased by 3 to 4 percent each year.

will be or how our educational needs will change,” Bazinsky said of the strategic plan, which is pending trustee approval. “We need to be constantly re-evaluating that plan and how we’re implementing it so we’re constantly working toward the educational and institutional goals implicit to the plan.”

Bazinsky said the trustees must consider on a philosophical level building a multicultural center and think about the cultural implications of any plan they approve.

He also expressed a desire to re-examine the way the Board works. “The board has a lot of expertise, a lot of knowledge, a lot of energy. Sometimes it’s not [as] focused as it could be,” Bazinsky said. “As a result of that, sometimes we run out oftime at the quarterly meetings, or issues get rushed in the agenda.”

Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jim

Clack, who has consulted with Bazinsky on a variety ofissues, said he thinks Bazinsky is particularly good at building consensus.

And Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs, said Bazinsky has always done well representing the typical student.

“I think that many students identify with him,” Wasiolek said. “He sort of represents the common person, and I say that in the most complimentary way. I don’t think Jordan is viewed by students as someone who sees his position as student government president as being some stepping stone to some political office in the future.”

Although Bazinsky has campaigned tirelessly for policies he believes in, some students question his ability to represent the entire University community.

Eric Adler, spokesperson for the Duke Conservative Union, has criticized Bazinsky for not gathering

student or alumni input when he advocated to the trustees allowing same-sex unions in the Chapel.

“Obviously, [the Young Trustee is] concerned about the future of Duke and alumni-trustee relations,” said Adler, a second-year graduate student in Classical Studies. “He should have the concerns of the alumni in his own mind, not his own concerns.

[Bazinsky] will only have his own concerns in mind.”

Senior Jason Bergsman, DSG vice president for academic affairs, said he also felt DSG mishandled the issue of same-sex unions by not gathering enough student input.

He said that although the Young Trustee does not represent students, any leader should gather information and input before making a decision.

Still, Bergsman said Bazinsky’s campaign showed courage. And this courage could serve him well if he is elected Young Trustee.

Students to stick with Napster over free options NAPSTER from page 1 puses. Even if Napster charges its users, students have other options—such as Gnutella, iMesh and Video.com—that are likely to attract more users when Napster begins charging.

“People will just go to other services on the Internet and download music.

Napster is a free service, and that’s why people use it,” Divinity student April Chlumsky said. “Whenever [record labels! go after a service, another one will spring up. I wouldn’t pay until all ofthe free services were taken away.”

Some doubt that free Napster use will even go away, or that the company will be able to collect fees effectively. “I think it could still be by-passed by having a friend subscribe and then sharing the files over Instant Messenger,” sophomore Kerri Petrin said. “I don’t think everyone will have to subscribe.”

But by getting the backing of Bertelsmann and possibly more media companies, Napster may become immune to accusations of contract violations, even if users find ways around its fee-based system. If such loopholes exist, they may

also help Napster compete with other file-sharing networks.

With its 46 million registered users, Napster has a big head-start over its competitors in name recognition—something that may be increasingly important as more Internet companies consolidate. Most students, in fact, do not seem to know that alternatives exist.

“I never knew there were other services. Napster pretty much covers it all,” Petrin said. “But $l5 is reasonable, considering how much you spend on CDs. That’s like a CD a month.”

Other students, like freshman Dave Preston, see a legitimate market for Napster’s planned fee-based service and will consider using it. Unless other services can match what he sees as a quality program, Preston said he would stick with Napster.

“If there were a service that was searchable, and as easy as Napster and free, I would switch. [Scour.com] was pretty good, but not as good, and they just shut down,” he said.

troops, and Sharon was held indirectly responsible for the slaughter by an Israeli commission of inquiry.

But, for two decades ever since, Sharon was determined to stand his ground and not be chased from public life. Again last fall, Sharon was thought to have committed a fatal political mistake when he made a heavily guarded visit to the plaza outside the Al-Aksa mosque in Jerusalem. After his visit, the Israeli-Palestinian violence erupted and Sharon was accused of a reckless provocation at a sensitive moment by many world leaders.

But Sharon’s election Tuesday night, which is partly the result of the subsequent four months of violence that shattered many Israelis’ faith in the peace effort, rewards his tenacity.

At the fairground in Tel Aviv, Likud

Party supporters raised a shattering din when surveys of voters leaving the polls were released immediately after the polls closed at 10 p.m. As if cheering a winning basketball team, they chanted, “Sharon is rising” and waved banners saying, ‘Thank you God, a turnaround.” Soon,

the political rally became a dance with disco music and flashing mirror balls.

Dalia Nahum, a 50-year-old homemaker, stood on a white plastic chair.

“Praise the Lord, the people of Israel have been saved from Barak,” she said.

The state of Israel will not be handed over to the Arabs. Barak groveled before the Arabs. Now there will be peace for the people ofIsrael.”

For Barak, the defeat was a stinging repudiation just 21 months after he was elected by a then-record majority of 12 percent on a mandate to make peace with Israel’s neighbors.

It was clear by the end of the day, though, that Al-Fadl’s testimony forms the basis of many of the prosecution’s allegations that bin Laden engaged in a global conspiracy aimed at the United States and other Western targets, and which acted as a kind of umbrella organization for other terrorist groups.

Al-Fadl said after that U.S. troops went to Somalia in 1993, bin Laden told a meeting of several dozen people: “The snake is America and we have to stop them, what they are doing now. We have to cut the head of the snake.”

closed location after pleading guilty to a terrorism charge in a secret proceeding in federal court in Manhattan.

During his testimony Tuesday, AlFadl was asked by a prosecutor to identify one of the defendants. Al-Fadl,

wearing a white skullcap, open-necked shirt and blue jeans, stood and pointed at Wadih El-Hage, whom prosecutors have described as another close confidante of bin Laden who served his per-

sonal secretary.

El-Hage had no visible reaction to AlFadl’s identification of him.

Al-Fadl told the jury that he had worked closely with bin Laden in Khartoum, and was in charge of managing his payroll, which gave him access to files on each member of bin Laden’s group, their salaries and aliases. He also described bin Laden’s global banking network, naming various institutions in Sudan, Malaysia, Britain, Hong Kong and Dubai, where bin Laden and his group kept their money.

He also gave a detailed account of bin Laden’s agricultural, construction, transportation, and investment compa-

Al-Fadl described disputes within bin Laden’s group, A1 Qaeda, about the number of Egyptians among its leaders and the disparity in pay among the group’s members. He described the roots ofbin Laden’s enmity toward the United States for its role in Somalia, and the group’s cooperation with other terrorist organizations, such as the Iranianbacked Hezbollah.

Al-Fadl said bin Laden sent fighters to Chechnya at a cost of about $1,500 per person, paid through a local relief

organization. Al-Fadl said he carried money on behalf of bin Laden to leaders of other jihad groups, including $lOO,OOO to one in Eritrea.

When traveling on false passports, Al-Fadl said, he was instructed to play down his Muslim appearance. He said he was told to carry cigarettes and cologne to suggest he was interested in women. If he was stopped, he said, he was told to be polite and “Don’t talk about religion, jihad, or anything.”

Al-Fadl’s journey into a position of confidence with bin Laden’s group had its roots, by his account, in Brooklyn, where he worked at the A1 Farooq Mosque on Atlantic Avenue, helping to raise money and recruit fighters for the American-backed mujahedeen in the war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s.

At the time, Al-Fadl said, he worked closely with Mustafa Shalabi, an Egyptian who ran the recruiting office. Shalabi disappeared from the Brooklyn office in 1991 and was later found to have been killed, a case that remains unsolved.

During his two years in the United States, Al-Fadl said, he moved to At-

Al-Fadl, under questioning by the prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, offered an intimate look at a network of guest houses and military training camps used by bin Laden’s group. He said he met bin Laden around 1988.

He said he took the oath of allegiance, called bayat, to A1 Qaeda.

“I swore and I signed,” Al-Fadl said, adding that he was the third person to sign the contract that made him a member of the group.

Al-Fadl said he began to take on broad responsibilities for bin Laden, and was present at a meeting in Peshawar where members of the Sudanese intelligence service visited bin Laden and promised to help his group if it moved to Sudan. Al-Fadl was sent to Khartoum on a kind of scouting mission.

After bin Laden moved his group to Sudan in 1991, Al-Fadl testified, its activities were greatly aided by Sudanese intelligence and by other officials.

Keep religion independent

The

separation of church and state provided by the First Amendment is not just a protection for those who wish to remain secular —it also provides a protection for all religions from governmental interference.

And it is the latter of those two protections that is most in jeopardy because of President George W. Bush’s faith-based-initiative proposal.

In an effort both to appease his Christian conservative base and to fulfill a campaign promise, Bush announced that he was going to create a special office to help faith-based groups obtain federal grant moneys that are usually earmarked for only secular organizations.

Bush thinks his proposal will bring better social services through increased competition, end a perceived bias against religious groups and reward many faith-based programs that have been highly successful on solely private donations.

It is true that many private religious organizations have done stellar jobs of providing food, shelter and support for congregations nationwide. Some of these groups have done it as part oftheir evangelizing, other groups have offered this support and kept the proselytizing to themselves.

Any group that would receive federal aid under Bush’s proposal would be required to use their funding only for social services and not for religious outreach. Basically, it would require that many nonsecular groups adopt secular principles for the sake of government funding. And whether one believes it is possible for a religious group to do so or not, faith-based organizations should take caution and avoid accepting any of Bush’s proposed handouts.

What may seem like a road to free money is really the path to government oversight and regulation. By accepting federal funding or by being denied federal funding, there would be a new, likely unconstitutional role for the federal government in faith.

The independence of religion in America is something that is taken for granted. Some religious leaders, in a rush to see the nation united spiritually, are missing the bigger picture. Federal money might discourage private giving. Worse yet, some churches may become dependent on the government for their social services.

And there are further problems that rise from government involvement in faith. What if the United States decided to extend equal protection to gays and lesbians? Certain faiths would be required to provide social services to people who they would not ordinarily allow into their holy space. While gays and lesbians deserve equal protection and equal freedoms, trampling another freedom is not the right way to achieve this goal.

Make no mistake, this policy would compromise the separation of church and state for individuals, too. Part offreedom ofreligion involves a freedom from religion. If secular individuals were deterred from their social services because ofthe nonsecular group handing them out, that would be a gross violation of the spirit ofthe First

Amendment.

Bush’s proposal is not good for the religious or the secular and would simply bring government into a place it has been forbidden from entering—the pews. Keeping a faith is a matter ofpersonal choice and privacy; it is no business of the government’s.

Letters to the Editor

Column misrepresents facts and stories about Utah As a Utahn, I feel obligated to clarify and criticize Mary Carmichael’s Jan. 26 column, “In Utah, history repeats itself.” While I generally agree with the political opinions expressed, I am deeply offended by the representation of my home state.

I’ll start where the article begins about the Miracle of the Seagulls and how they saved the settler’s crops from locusts.

Chronicle readers should know that California gulls do live in Utah. The quote “the lake islands whence they came” refers to the Great Salt Lake. Thus, the birds were not “just vacationing.”

Continuing on the seagulls, Salt Lake City is not “full of obelisks with birds perched on top.” There is only one statue, no more

than 12 feet high.

for referenced column,

Let’s forget the gulls. How about other misrepresented facts? The article sarcastically states, “once a Utah resident, always a Utah resident (even if he no longer resides in Utah),” but ignores that missionaries from Utah are legally Utah residents. article Later, the explains, “the Census counts people in their day-to-day

residence.” This contradicts an earlier argument that missionaries are somehow different from federal employees and overseas military personnel. This is confusing because the “day-today residence” of these federal personnel are also not in the United States.

Finally, the article uses the example of Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch obtaining money for a highway project and states that such use of

the Census would not benefit missionaries “living 14,000 miles away.” This is flat-out wrong. The Census is taken every 10 years.

Missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (“Mormon missionaries”) are gone for two years, and highway projects that gain funding while they are away will certainly affect them when they return.

I do agree that Utah is trying to change the Census rules after the fact; the lawsuit is foolish. But I am disgusted with the sloppy manner in which these opinions are presented in this article.

The Chronicle needs to make a greater effort to ensure that the “facts” it contains are accurate.

PAGE 11

Learning, the Bush way

The new president’s ideas for a new education policy lack funding and thoughtfulness He’s right, but only up to the point where the allimportant question of resources, as in money, is raised.

It’s true that more than mood is involved. Bush’s

Guest commentary Thomas Oliphant When President George W. Bush’s dad became president 12 years ago, his inaugural address, unlike his son’s, actually contained a memorable line.

Surveying the deficit-riddled landscape, former president George H. W. Bush ushered in four years of domestic passivity by noting, “We have more will than wallet.”

The line was deftly turned back on the son last week as the House’s senior Democrats put forth their own version of a program to tackle the problems of elementary and secondary public education. This time around, said Rep. George Miller of California, “We have both the will and the wallet to fix failing schools.”

We’ll see. As one of the House Democrats’ most skilled and experienced progressives, Miller and another well regarded party colleague, Dale Kildee of Michigan, propose to test the limits of the bipartisan mood they and Bush have done so much to establish.

The new president has put some ideas down on paper.

These guys have put an actual policy forward: details, money and more.

Miller celebrates the new spirit—which is overdone, given the fact that last year’s bickering resulted in the first failure in 35 years by Congress and a president to agree on a timely reauthorization of the government’s basic public school programs.

This time around, the veteran from San Francisco’s East Bay counties discerns “wide agreement” on education policy.

determination to use federal aid as a lever to achieve

genuine accountability for states and localities is matched on both sides of the aisle. He is not getting much guff from Democrats on his insistence that testing be a constant fact of school life.

Bush is also in general agreement with Congress that accountability in practice is going to mean intense intervention in schools that are not meeting specific goals for improvement. That agreement is especially significant if you toss aside the president’s Rube Goldberg-designed voucher proposal.

The emerging consensus also appears to cover the vital concept of separating out, or “disaggregating,” the test scores of different racial and other groups of kids in order to close the unacceptable achievement gaps that plague education today; For leading conservatives into this area, Bush deserves all the credit he’s getting.

But then we get to money and comprehensiveness, and here Bush has fallen flat. Few noticed, but his “program” contains few details and even fewer dollars. The only dollar sign of consequence is left over from the campaign, during which he suggested $25 billion in additional investment over the next five years. Given the fact that the largest generation ever is now entering school, that is ridiculous. Education is the first issue to come down the pike this year where it is quite clear that a decision on national priorities has to be made; Either hundreds of billions of dollars will go to end the estate tax and slash the top income tax rates, or they will be available for the

public schools; the famous surplus won’t accommodate both.

Miller has proposed a $llO billion infusion for the public schools, something similar to what A1 Gore had urged. It’s not simply more money; it reflects a vision the president lacks.

For starters, it is carefully targeted, including a doubling of the basic program aiding schools serving low-income families to $l7 billion by 2006. It also includes a teacher standards, training and hiring program ($2O billion) and a fund ($23 billion) to'renovate 20,000 crumbling schools. It also offers a fresh effort to hire and train 100,000 school counselors ($l3 billion).

This is what the Bush outline lacks. But it also has what is mostly lacking in the current version of a conservative Democrat proposal offered in the House by Cal Dooley of California and, in a departure from what he was pushing as vice presidential nominee last year, by Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn.

Miller’s proposal is not offered confrontationally.

He believes, as do most participants, that a true compromise is in the cards.

That compromise, however, will end up doing more for the president and for participating congressmen politically than it will do for the public schools unless some real dough is put on the table.

It’s about time a determined policy got enacted. But without resources commensurate with the challenges facing American education, the kids could still end up shortchanged.

Thomas Oliphant’s column is syndicated by The New York Times News Service.

Feast your ‘glazzies’ on this media merger Off the record & on the QT Martin Barna I settled into my chair to watch CNN’s is typical CNN fare—the news with a mildly liberal twist, lots of ominous theme music and clips of people standing in front of the White House. Then, it happened.

Wolf Blitzer Reports. The show

During a commercial, three-dimensional blue letters appeared on the screen. It was not Sorority Girls Gone Wild Part XVII. It was the three words that strike fear in the hearts of journalists every-

where—AOL-Tirne-Warner.

A cheery voice announced that all the media pleasures that we Americans like so much will now be even easier to use because of the recently approved merger of the two “info-tainment” giants.

Like a scene from A Clockwork Orange, pictures of Sports Illustrated, Time, chat rooms, Wolf Blitzer, Greta Van Susteren, TNT, TBS, Ted Turner, LA Confidential and Dawson’s Creek flashed on the screen to the tune of sunny, encouraging music. It was horrifying. And then, it worsened: The last image that the advertisement treated me with was of Tliq, Sopranos.

The Sopranos! My television show!

The only television show that is completely unapologetic to its viewers was now part of the biggest media monopoly. I became worried, is the third season going to show scenes of Tony Soprano buying AOL-Time-Warner stock? Would Silvio and Paulie get into an argument about whether CNN’s Van Susteren was better than CNN’s Roger Cossack?

Paulie: You know, Silvio, that Greta, on every night at 8:30 p.m. on CNN, has one nice rack.

Silvio; What? Is she your new goomah

or something? She wouldn’t be nothing without Roger Cossack, who still hosts a show at 12:30 p.m. weekdays.

Tony: Hey! What’s-a-matta-with you two? I’m trying to use AOL version 7.0 to e-mail Carmela and the kids. I can even insert movies and sounds into my e-mail!

Uncle Junior:Did you see the new DVD of Dawson’s Creek? It’s fantastic! There are even f—ing outtakes! I love that Joey!

Scary. And it gets much worse.

But what about the news itself?

None of the networks are independent anymore. NBC is owned by General Electric and has close ties to both Microsoft (MSNBC) and The Washington Post. ABC is part of Disney’s gigantic empire that includes ESPN, Go.com and the NHL’s Mighty Ducks. CBS is part of

another super-conglomerate, Viacom, which also owns MTV, Comedy Central and Paramount Pictures. Fox is part of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.—the scariest conglomerate of them all, as it owns a few hundred newspapers worldwide.

In 1976, before Murdoch’s Fox network defined sensationalism, Sidney Lumet directed a film called Network. The movie looked at a news network that had gone completely sensationalist and had given up on content for the sake of high ratings—all in an effort to obtain a higher tion. The free press is our defense against price when the network went up for sale to being run over by big government and big a giant corporation. One of the film’s charbusiness. But with political campaigns acters asked once the corporation owned paid for by soft-money donations from big the news, “who knows what s-t will be businesses, the line between the two is peddled for truth on this network?” Look rapidly blurring.

Tonight Blue Devils face Solomon Wrestlers lose big

W

By THOMAS STEINBERGER The Chronicle

You could see the frustration in Will Solomon’s slight but unmistakeable smile.

Two weeks ago in Winston-Salem, the Clemson junior was lighting up Wake Forest for 30 points. And, standing on the court with a smile that seemed to indicate an acceptance of inevitability, he began to try to make sense of another loss for his Tigers.

Solomon may be overshadowed by the conference’s high profile scorers such as Joe Forte and Juan Dixon, but if the 6-foot-1 shooting guard’s team has yet to prove itself, he has proven as an individual that he can score—and score big—against anyone in college basketball.

“Will has to score for us,” Clemson coach Larry Shyatt said. “[He has to] take far more shots than other stars in the league because we have an inordinate amount of inexperience around him.”

Despite his team enduring a 10-19 season last year, the junior earned first-team AllACC honors and led the league in scoring. His 22.4 points per game this season are first in the conference as well and include a 41-point outburst against Georgia Tech last month.

As a high school player in East Hartford, Conn., Solomon was not among the most VERN VERNA/AI WIRE prized recruits of his class. But after a slow freshman year, Solomon shot past most of his WILL SOLOMON leads the ACC in scoring, while his Clemson Tigers are See SOLOMON on page 18 suffering through a 10-19 season.

to North Carolina

By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle The wrestling team fought hard throughout its home meet last night and came up short in several bouts against its archrivals from North Carolina. Duke lost, 35-3.

The Tar Heels (6-4, 3-0 in the ACC) quickly jumped up 3-0 on the Blue Devils (11-6, 0-2) with a 5-1 win in the 157-pound class. Tim

Morcantonio and Frank Comely lost the next two matches for Duke, but each match came down to the last seconds of the third period without a fall being scored. Morcantonio and Comely both started the first period with a takedown to take 2-0 leads. Neither could hold on for the victory, and the two Blue Devils lost, 7-5 and 6-3, respectively.

Daegan Smith also lost an extremely close match, but in different fashion from Morcantonio and Comely. Down 5-1 in the third period, he rallied to score a point on an escape to make the score 5-2, Then Smith shot at his opponent Clint Osbum and got a takedown seconds before the final buzzer to make the final score 5-4 in favor of UNC. With the score 26-3 in favor ofthe Tar Heels and a Duke win impossible, Harry Clarke stepped onto the mat and wrestled valiantly for See WRESTLING on page 20

A five-part look at where len's basketball its are now

The Chronicle

For his 36th birthday, David Henderson got one of the best presents imaginable. On July 21, Delaware athletic director Edgar Johnson announced that Henderson would succeed Mike Brey as head men’s basketball coach.

Brey, a former Duke assistant himself, was headed to Notre Dame to fill the vacancy left by another ACC alum returning home—North Carolina coach Matt Doherty.

Henderson was simply keeping with the “family” tradition of moving from a seat alongside Mike Krzyzewski on the Duke bench to taking first chair at the optimum opportunity. When the Blue Hens called, Krzyzewski counseled Henderson, and the timing and placement

seemed right

“I am very proud of David Henderson,” Krzyzewski said in July. “I think he is absolutely perfect for Delaware and is ready to be a head coach. He did a fantastic job for me the last three years. He showed a toughness and a competitiveness that will serve him well as a head coach.”

As the progenitor of a diverse and successful family tree, Henderson also represents one offour former Blue Devil players to take up the mantle of head coaching after a stint behind Krzyzewski at Duke.

A 1986 graduate, Henderson was a senior on head basketball the Blue Devils’ first Krzyzewski-era Final Four DAVID HENDERSON is now the first-year See HENDERSON on page 19 � coach at Delaware.

No. 1 Tar Heels outlast Wake Ga. Tech tops Terps

By DAVID DROSCHAK Associated Press

It has 80 WINSTON-SALEM been hard to beat North Wake 74 Carolina’s execution down the stretch the last two months.

Joseph Forte scored 24 points as the topranked Tar Heels shot 54 percent en route to an 80-74 victory over No. 19 Wake Forest last night.

“I think we understand how to win,” said Forte, who also had six rebounds and five steals.

‘The last three minutes we could be playing equal to the other team, but if the game is close our guys are going to pull it out.”

Wake Forest coach Dave Odom believed his team played well enough and hard enough to knock off the Tar Heels. But then Forte and his UNC

veteran teammates played nearly flawless ball over the final four minutes.

“I was impressed with North Carolina’s ability to get the ball where they wanted it on offense when they wanted it,” Odom said as he watched the Tar Heels start 6-0 on the road in the ACC for

the first time since 1987.

The win extended North Carolina’s NCAA record of consecutive 20-win seasons to 31 as the Tar Heels (20-2, 10-0 in the ACC) also notched their 17th straight victory despite 20 turnovers.

Wake Forest (15-7,4-6) led for much ofthe second half, but fell apart on both ends of the floor late. After starting the season 12-0, the Demon Deacons have dropped seven of their last 10.

Forte hit an off-balance jumper with the shot clock on one second and the Tar Heels clinging to a 72-69 lead with 1:12 left, and made two free throws a half-minute later.

“That was a huge shot,” Odom said of Forte’s 17footer. “Again, great players make great plays at opportune moments and that certainly was that.”

Wake Forest’s Craig Dawson scored a careerhigh 29 points on 14-of-26 shooting, but he could not prevent North Carolina from snapping his team’s 14-game home winning streak. Josh Howard added 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Dawson’s previous high was 23 points at Temple in December.

The Tar Heels, playing as the nation’s topranked team for the first time since March 1998, got 13 points each from Kris Lang, Brendan Haywood and Jason Capel. Haywood also had six assists and four blocks.

The Tar Heels trailed 63-58 with 8:08 left before going on a 14-2 run as Lang scored on a hook shot and follow, Haywood had a slam and layup and Julius Peppers a dunk as North Carolina went inside when it counted.

Haywood also had a key block of a follow shot

by Howard with 4:33 remaining as North Carolina stretched its lead to seven—which matched its biggest lead in the first half.

North Carolina scored on seven of eight possessions during its run and its shooting percentage snapped Wake Forest’s streak of 30 straight games holding opponents to under 50 percent from the field.

“It’s good to learn from an ugly game,” Capel said. “It’s good to learn from a game you probably should have lost. But we can get better and go back and have some real practices and go out

Tony Akins had just thrown away 72 ATLANTA Ga. Tech a pass and things weren’t looking much better 62 the next time down the court. With the shot Maryland clock running down, Georgia Tech’s point guard had no other option except to shoot.

His long three-pointer with just over a minute remaining carried the Yellow Jackets to a 72-62 victory over No. 13 Maryland last night.

“I had been doing that the whole game,” said Akins, who equaled his season high with 28 points. “I felt if I shot the ball, it was going to go in.”

First-year coach Paul Hewitt, whose team equaled both its overall and ACC victory totals for all last season, was not quite as confident when the ball left Akins’ hands.

“We ran some things, but they defended it very well,” Hewitt said,relieved with the win. “Tony bailed us out. I’m not going to tell you it was great coaching.”

Maryland (15-7, 6-4 in the ACC) lost for the third time in four games, and this one was nearly as gut-wrenching as the overtime defeat to then-No. 2 Duke 10 days earlier.

‘There’s no way we should lose to this team,” said Juan Dixon, who led Maryland with 18 points. “They wanted it more.”

The Terrapins were tired and sluggish playing just two days after a victory over Clemson. Maryland committed a staggering 23 turnovers, failing to take advantage of Georgia Tech losing the ball 20 times in a sloppy, erratic game that appeared to belong in November rather than February.

“We had this same team last year and won 25 games,” Dixon said. “We’re not playing up to our potential. There’s no way we should be 6-4 in the ACC.” Things do not get any easier for Maryland, which gets to face the No. 1 team Saturday when it travels to North Carolina. No wonder things got noisy afterward in the locker room, where a profanity-laced tirade could be heard by reporters waiting outside.

“Carolina’s going to beat us up if we don’t compete,” Dixon said.

Georgia Tech (13-8,5-5) was picked to finish near the bottom of the ACC but is now within reach ofits first bid to the NCAA tournament since 1996. The Yellow Jackets have defeated three ranked teams, following up victories over No. 6 Virginia and No. 19 Wake Forest.

“Thirteen wins is not going to get us in the tournament,” Hewitt said. “We’re getting close. It’s right there for us if we keep playing hard.”

The Yellow Jackets limited Maryland to just two points over the final four and a half minutes, going ahead for good when Alvin Jones hit a free throw to make it 61-60 with 3:38 remaining.

Akins hit the biggest shot of the night, which was only appropriate since the 5-foot-ll junior repeatedly countered Maryland’s quickness by either penetrating the lane or hitting long jumpers from outside the arc. Actually, Akins gave Maryland its final basket, throwing away a pass for one of his eight turnovers.

Halfway home: A midseason report on ACC hoops

Would you have expected anything different? pon urt Although many might not have review thought they would see North Carolina sitting atop the ACC rankings at the beginning of the season and N.C. State near the bottom of the pack, in many Craig Saperstein respects, this conference season has played out in a very predictable manner.

2. Duke As prognosticated by ACC-area media, OK, so the Blue Devils were knocked UNC, Duke and Maryland lead the conoff their perch as No. 1 in the ACC (at ference midway through the season and least for the short term) and in the Clemson and Florida State continue to nation, but Duke is hardly facing dire dwell in the league’s cellar.

4. Virginia

The Cavaliers have proven that they can hang with some of the nation’s best, especially after their convincing early-

season win over Tennessee. Overall, Pete

Gillen’s squad should be content with what it has accomplished so far this season, but dreams of competing for an ACC championship are still miles away.

5. Wake Forest No team looked more dangerous when the ACC season started than the Demon Deacons, but ever since their last second loss to UNC, it’s gone pretty downhill for Dave Odom’s boys. Like Maryland, Wake Forest can be found almost exactly where many thought it would be, but the way they have gotten here has been strange, to say the least.

If Odom is able to revitalize this deep, talented club, then watch out. If not, then Wake will finish the ACC season where they are now—in the middle of the pack.

6. Georgia Tech While Chapel Hill faithful have clamored for Doherty to be named ACC coach of the year, Georgia Tech first-year coach Paul Hewitt has made a strong case in his own right. In non-conference play, the Yellow Jackets have defeated tradi-

tional powers like UCLA and Kentucky and in the conference season, they have beaten Wake Forest and Virginia.

Although it’s unlikely that this team will make a run toward the top of the standings or do anything consequential in the Big Dance, Tech fans should be encouraged about their program’s direction for the future.

7. N.C. State If one team has been disappointing this season, it’s the Wolfpack. After returning four starters, bringing in a topnotch recruiting class and finishing off last season on an upnote, the Wolfpack were finally supposed to make the NCAA tournament this year. But as in past years, a rash of injuries and continuing disciplinary problems have plagued this

talented, but underachieving team.

8. Clemson As predicted, this undermanned Clemson team has remained among the worst in the ACC, while Will Solomon has remained among the ACC’s top guards. Clemson knew coming into the season that cracking the middle tier of the ACC would be difficult, and for the time being, the Tigers seemed resigned

to the fact that they just do not have the talent to break this vicious cycle.

9. Florida State Despite their win-loss record, the Seminoles do have reason to feel encouraged. They played tight with North Carolina a few weeks ago and have received consistent excellence from freshman forward Michael Joiner, a Raleigh native. This program is going in the right direction, and with a few more solid recruiting classes, the Seminole basketball team might start to attract more attention.

Let’s be clear—a record of 14-6 overall is nothing to be ashamed ofand third place in America’s toughest conference is actually pretty admirable. But witnessing such obvious inconsistency can only make one believe that this Maryland team will finish in the same manner that many of Gary Williams’ teams have—just below the top tier in the ACC and in the nation as a whole.

Solomon may jump to NBA � SOLOMON from page 15 peers last season, achieving the Tigers’ highest scoring average, 21.1, since Horace Grant in 1986-87.

Described by senior teammate Adam Allenspach as the team’s jokester, Solomon has also become known for his intensity. His strong mental approach may be best reflected by his scoring in double-figures every game since the beginning of his sophomore year, despite being the focus of every

opponents’ defense.

“As far as being a leader, he’s just real

competitive,” Allenspach said. ‘That’s his main leadership style. It’s not really talking, but more leading by example.”

His drive is unquestionable, but Allenspach believes that Solomon still has room to grow in terms ofhelping the team play as more of a unit. [scoring!,” “He’s excelled in Allenspach said. “He’s starting to understand more of his role on this team. He’s averaging 24 points a game, but we’re 1-8 [in the ACCj. He just has to continue to find his role.”

At 10-12 and 1-8 in the ACC this season, Clemson may simply be looking to

avoid embarrassment before recharging next year with four recruits. With Allenspach suffering from a back injury and the rest of the team struggling, Solomon could understandably be pleased with his performance and the team’s 10 wins.

Yet in talking with Solomon, his constant hunger to get better comes through clearly. Ask him about his season, and he points to the areas he needs to develop rather than expressing satisfaction with his scoring average.

“I try to bring a different style to the game,” he said. “Now, I’m trying to work on every aspect of it, shooting, ball-handling, rebounding.”

Solomon improved all these areas through summers spent playing pick-up games with current NBA stars and Hartford-area players Ray Allen and Marcus Camby.

He pointed to such experiences as

invaluable to his confidence on the court at Clemson.

“I grew up playing with those guys,” Solomon said. “We always had games down at the YMCA. [Nowl they just tell me to keep working hard.”

The junior also played with Hartford native and former Clemson player Tony Christie, who had a role in luring the junior down to South Carolina.

But now that Christie has graduated and the Tigers are in the ACC cellar, Solomon may have an urge to join his friends in the NBA. The junior has yet to make any plans, but he made it clear that he has valued his college experiences. “[Coach Shyatt and II are going to sit down after the season and talk about it,” he said. “Clemson’s been a great place for me. It really feels like home here. Coach Shyatt helped me to

mature and develop personally.”

And when Duke comes to Littlejohn Coliseum tonight, Solomon promises to bring the same intensity that his teammates have come to rely on. Although the No. 3 Blue Devils have won the last 1(J meetings against Clemson, Solomon will not be intimidated.

“I approach every game very intently,” Solomon said. “I don’t have a mindset. Every game is the same.”

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

After struggling against UNC, Carlos Boozer returned to form against Florida State, scoring 23 points and pulling down five boards. Meanwhile, Clemson’s frontcourt appears questionable. Sophomore Ray Henderson hasn’t been able to fill the shoes of the Tigers’ Adam Allenspach, who is out with a back injury.

Outside .C O

OQ

Will Solomon has basically carried Clemson this year. His 22.4 points per game lead the ACC, although he only managed to score 13 points against the Blue Devils last month. Solomon may be good, but we’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again; Jason Williams is in a class by himself. Period.

Freshman Tony Stockman gives the Tigers excellent minutes off the bench at guard. His 12.1 points per game lead all ACC freshmen. Chris Duhon provides similar quality minutes for Duke, while Matt Christensen has also become a factor off the bench Neither team’s reserves run especially deep.

Duke proved that it had shaken off its loss to UNC by beating the Seminoles by 42 points. Meanwhile, Clemson comes in on a six-game losing streak and remembers its 41-point beating in Durham a month ago. Clemson is at home this time, but Littlejohn is not exactly the same as Cameron.

11

Clemson needs a career night from Solomon, but even that probably will not be enough to defeat Duke. The Tigers are simply no match for the more talented Blue Devils. Look for Boozer to score big against the overmatched Henderson. Duke has grown accustomed to .beating on lesser teams, while Clemson has gotten used to seeing its opponents celebrate postgame. Expect more of the same. Duke wins 99-68 Compiled by Evan Davis

Henderson, Dawkins both played, coached at Duke � HENDERSON from page 15 squad. It was the beginning of a run in which Duke played in college basketball’s final weekend seven out of 10 years. The 1986 squad, which Henderson co-captained, went 37-3 and lost 72-69 in the national title game against Louisville.

But Henderson was also around when times were tougher. His freshman year, the 1982-83 season, Duke was 11-17. A native of tiny Drewry, N.C., Henderson had grown up hearing stories and histories of successes at North Carolina and N.C. State. However, Henderson never regretted choosing the Blue Devils, whom he was drawn to specifically because of an immediate connection with Krzyzewski.

“The first year was humbling for us,” Henderson said. ‘The first year was a learning year. In that one year, though, we formed a bond that lasted four years.

To see the growth over a four-year period gave me a great appreciation for the program.”

One of Henderson’s teammates, from that disappointing rookie season to the near-national championship of 1986, was current Blue Devil assistant Johnny Dawkins. When the pair graduated, both went on to professional playing careers.

Henderson spent one year with the Philadelphia 76ers before playing in the Continental Basketball League and then overseas in France, Israel and Turkey. But, after eight seasons abroad, Henderson did not feel the desire to suit up anymore.

T have a passion for basketball,” Henderson said.

‘This is how I live my life: when I have a passion for something, I do it. I lost my passion for playing.”

So Henderson the expatriate returned stateside and took a job as an intern with Home Team Sports. He

missed basketball, though, and followed his good friend Dawkins to the Duke sidelines in 1997.

“I lost my mind,” Henderson joked about his decision to try coaching. “During my year off, I became very passionate about the idea of coaching.”

Working with Dawkins again was a big draw.

“Coach Henderson was a great teammate for four years, and he is a great friend,” Dawkins said. “He

was the best man at my wedding and is the godfather of my son.”

And working together under Krzyzewski was, in away, a chance to relive the four years the pair spent watching the program grow from a project to an institution.

“It was almost as if we were re-committing to the same university,” Henderson said. “It was the same thing that happened when we were 18 years old.”

After three years at Duke, though, the Delaware job came along, and as quickly as he had transitioned to his post as assistant coach, he was no longer ostensibly a Blue Devil, but rather a Blue Hen. “I’m tied to Duke for life,” Henderson said. “But [leaving] was not a hard decision. When you’re preparing yourself for something, you take the best opportu-

nity that comes.”

Henderson is the first to admit, however, that being a head coach is much different from being an assistant.

“As a coach you have to manage all parts of the game,” Henderson said. “Until you get in the driver’s seat, you don’t know. As an assistant you make suggestions; as a head coach, you make decisions.”

The Blue Hens (13-9, 9-4 in the American East) are doing well in their first season under Henderson. The team lost 75 percent of its scoring to graduation last May, and 11 players on the roster are underclassmen.

Still, Delaware has managed close games with Temple and St. Joseph’s, among other strong programs.

“I’ve got a great group of young men working for me,” Henderson said. “I have a very young team. We started off with a lot of close losses, but my kids always competed. We’re competing at the top of our league, and this was supposed to be a rebuilding year.”

Although he is comfortable in his new role, Henderson said he will always be grateful to Krzyzewski for giving him an opportunity to play and coach on the same storied floor. As Dawkins put it, Krzyzewski is the “common denominator” among his player-coaches, graduates of many different years, with many different experiences.

“Coach K built a sense of family for the program,” Henderson said. “And it’s real.”

ferently, preserving the 3-1 victory for UNC’s Booth.

This sort of die-hard mentality exhibited by Clarke typifies the Blue Devils this year, who are vastly improved from last year’s dismal season.

Much of this turnaround can be attributed to the captains, said junior Tom Cass.

‘This year has been great. This is the first year the captains have stepped it up with the coaches, said Cass, who was the lone winner for the Blue Devils with his 12-6 decision over Nick Richmond in the 184pound weight class.

Cass recorded his 24th victory with the win last night over some stiff competition.

Tm very pleased with Tom Cass and his win at 184. He avenged a loss from before and defeated a kid who was on his way to being ranked,” coach Clar Anderson said.

A major difference Cass sees in himself since last year is the mental part of his wrestling. “[A key to my success is] mental training, last year I dropped mentally,” Cass said about his impressive victory, which featured three takedowns in the third period. “My coach [John Withrow] worked with me on being mentally tough. In the second period tonight, he got a takedown and last year I would’ve pushed the panic button, but tonight I fought through it.”

Anderson thinks last night’s loss could have been attributed to the competition, but the effort is still quite a feat for a team that went 3-12-1 last year. Prior to this loss, Duke had won three straight meets.

“The competition wasn’t good, but we competed well during that stretch, said Anderson.

Last night, the Blue Devils’ competition was definitely a notch above Davidson, UNC-Greensboro and Gardner-Webb, their opponents during the winning streak.

“It’s tough when you wrestle a team who beat a top-10 team. As a team, I wish we could have competed better,” Anderson said.

The next match for Duke is Saturday when Maryland visits Cameron Indoor Stadium. ”
