Final matchup determines rivals’ four-tune By KEVIN LEES

Duke-Maryland rivalry becomes basketball’s best

The Chronicle

It is the Final Four all right.

The final of four Duke-Maryland

games this season. After three of the most thrilling games of the regular season for both Duke (33-4) and Maryland (25-10), the two teams have the chance to define themselves in a much bigger way now—and they have to get past each other to do it. “That’s what makes this more magical,” forward Byron Mouton said. “This one is for all the bragging rights. No one will remember the first three games. This is the one that really matters.” The Final Four is uncharted territory for Maryland, as neither Gary Williams nor anyone else from College Park has ever made it this far. It is also rarely explored territory for the ACC. While two teams have simultaneously made it to the Final Four before, only once have ACC teams ever squared off in the Final Four, and Duke has never faced an ACC rival in the national semifinals. Needless to say, both teams might be getting sick of one another, but along with that comes a certain respect. “I think the common [variable] throughout is you’re always going to face a great team,” said Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, who enters his ninth Final Four and is 6-2 all-time in the national semifinal game. “At times, it’s difficult to sell your kids on how good another team is. Our kids always know. They have the highest respect for Maryland.” SeeFOUR on page 22 �

People have called the Duke-North Carolina rivalry the greatest in sports. Maryland thinks it has discovered one that is even better: Duke-Maryland. For years, there was no Duke-Maryland rivalry, despite the fact that the Terrapins treated their two annual matchups with Duke as the most important on their slate. The rivalry was non-existent, for one school at least, because the Blue Devils dominated year in and year out,

posting a one-sided 23-4 record against Maryland beginning in February of 1988. In fact, after his first 10 seasons as the Terrapins’ coach, Gary Williams had yet to bring home a victory following a trip to Cameron In-

door Stadium. Then came Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2000—Williams’ first career victory in Cameron, and Duke’s first home loss to anyone in 46 home games. A rivalry was beginning to brew, but to many people across the nation and even in the ACC, it was still sitting on the backburner. Sec RIVALS on page 23

Keohane updates movement on diversity progress By DREW KLEIN The Chronicle

After more than 30 years and black students’ repeated large-scale protests for improved treatment, has anything

really changed? Quite a lot, according to a report re-

leased yesterday by President Nan Keohane focusing on the progress made on black students’ demands in several protests between 1969 to 1997. Black student leaders had not yet read the report last night, but they pushed the University to tackle all the old demands, not just some of them. The report is the direct result of a demand made by the Duke Student Movement to the administration last week and discusses each of 13 demands made by protesters in 1997. According to the report, significant progress has been made toward meeting almost every demand, particularly in areas such as financial aid, funding for black student organizations and black faculty and student recruitment. The report does acknowledge, however, that in these and other areas, more efforts are necessary.

“The statistics we have provided show that the University has made progress in all areas,” states the report, “although the progress has been uneven and in some areas disappointingly slow.” The 24-page document notes that certain demands, such as the creation of a black student dormitory or a black student union, have deliberately been sidestepped, as University leadership wanted to avoid dividing students. Although the tone ofthe report was optimistic across the board, some issues were singled out as more relevant in today’s environment. “By 1997,” it states, “[Duke’s] focus had narrowed to a few major issues. These include the recruitment and retention of black faculty, students and administrators; improvement of the climate for minority students and faculty members on campus; and support

for black student organizations.” Some black student leaders feel the narrowing of focus is undesirable. “I would not want to settle on just one thing,” said senior Denis Antoine, president of the Black Student Alliance.

Bush rejects Kyoto climate treaty President George W. Bush WASHINGTON Kyoto the climate treaty and its Thursday rejected mandatory pollution reductions as too harmful to the American economy but said he would continue to pursue other measures to address climate change. The administration’s rebuff of the international agreement on climate change, a centerpiece of the Clinton administration’s environmental agenda, brought sharp criticism from European countries as well as environmentalists. Negotiated in Kyoto, Japan, in 1997, the agreement has not been ratified by the Senate. International efforts last November to work out issues surrounding the treaty failed because of a rift between the United States and Europe.

On another environmental matter, the president indicated for the first time that he may not be able to convince Congress to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas development. “I think it’s important for us to open up ANWR. Whether or not the Congress sees it that way is another matter,” Bush said at a news conference. He also said he expects to tighten the arsenic standard for drinking water, but won’t do so until further scientific studies are completed. Bush recently withdrew new, tougher arsenic regulations issued by the Clinton administration. Bush’s environmental decisions to date have prompted outcries from some members of Congress and environmentalists.

Game viewing policy finalized, faculty left outside By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Some familiar voices may be missing from Cameron Indoor Stadium Saturday night as fans cheer on the men’s basketball team, which will be playing in the Final Four in Minneapolis, Minn Only undergraduate, graduate and professional students will be allowed into Cameron to watch the game on a gigantic viewing screen. Similarly, when Duke last made it to the Final Four in 1999,faculty members and employees were not allowed into the stadium. “I suppose many members of the faculty would choose to attend if they c0u1d.... I think a lot of faculty will be disappointed that they won’t be allowed to go,” said Peter Burian, classics professor and chair of the Academic Council. “A lot of faculty and employees are great fans and many already have less of an opportunity to

attend the game.” Faculty and staff will be allowed on campus to participate in any authorized celebratory activities. Those without proper Duke identification will be turned away by the police.

Because fire regulations dictate that Cameron can hold no more than 8,497 people in Saturday’s viewing arrangement, organizers decided to limit Cameron’s access this year. In contrast, University officials invited the entire community, including alumni, to watch the games in Cameron in 1991 and 1992. “We filled it to the brim and we were turning people away. We had about 300 or 400 people who were very, very upset,” said William Boten, director of the Fire Safety Division of

the Occupational and Environmental Safety Office. “If we opened [Cameron] up to the entire community, we would run the risk of things getting out of control again.” Although disappointed, some members of the faculty said that they understood the University’s decision. “I would have liked to have gone, but I think it’s fair,” said John Thompson, chair of the

Southpoint mall nears completion; objections linger By AMISHA SHRIMANKER The Chronicle

Southern Durham keeps getting closer to having a new mall. Construction of the Streets at Southpoint mall—which will rival the size of Raleigh’s Crabtree Valley Mall—is nearly 75 percent complete, and is set to be done by March 2002, said Jim Farrell, senior vice president of Urban Retail Properties,

the Chicago-based developer. The developer has already announced its five anchor tenants; Belk, Hecht’s, Nordstrom, Sears and JCPenney department stores. The tenants ofthe remaining 130 shops and restaurants are still up in the air. Farrell declined to discuss other possible occupants, saying that he is in the midst of continued negotiations. But if a list Farrell released last year to the Durham Herald-Sun gives any indication, Farrell is looking for typical upscale mall fare, including Abercrombie and Fitch, women’s clothing store Bebe, Crate & Barrel, Ethan Allen, Gap, Guess and Tommy Hilfiger. Some of these stores will be entirely new to the Triangle area and welcome additions to the shopping scene. “I have been waiting years for a Nordstrom’s to come down here,” said Durham resident Sarah Lillsky. The mall, located near the intersection of Interstate 40 and Fayetteville Road, will house a multiscreen IMAX theater with an arcade and gourmet cafe. The $l5 million theater will seat 266 and show two- and three-dimensional films. In addition to the mall, a mixed-use project called the Renaissance Center, is being built nearby. The development will include small, upscale shops, three hotels, office buildings and over 400 apartment

units, said John Silverman, a managing principal of the Midland Atlantic Development Company.

However, opposition to the mall is strong. In February 2000, the city council heard protests from environmentalists and others when they made zoning changes allowing construction of the new mall. Opponents of the mall distributed results from a poll funded by Chapel Hill’s South Square Mall showing nearly 60 percent of Durham residents felt the area did not need a new shopping center. Pat Bocckino, a founder of Citizens Against Urban Sprawl Everywhere, said she is concerned by several aspects of the mall. The impervious surface of the mall’s parking lots would promote runoff into Jordan Lake, she said, so a filtering system needs to be installed. In addition, Bocckino would like to see the heights of hotel and office buildings reduced in order to keep the skyline uncluttered. “One of our biggest concerns is to minimize the impact on the surrounding area, especially Herndon Farm,” she said, referring to a family farm on the outskirts of the development. And Bocckino refuted boosters’ claims that the new mall will bring tax revenue to the city. ‘The idea that this new mall will bring in more tax money does not wash,” she said. “For every new dollar that you’re making, you’re also losing a dollar because you lose old businesses. This is not a win situation for the city.” One of the losers will be the doomed South Square Mall, located near the Southpoint site. Belk, one of South Square’s three anchor tenants, already announced its departure from the mall to go to Southpoint, with other stores expected to follow its lead.

If you've ever gotten your food before you finished ordering... Then you know.

REGAN HSU/THE CHRONICLE

STREETS AT SOUTHPOINT, which is already 75 percent complete, could drive other neighboring malls out of business, some opponents argue. But officials at Northgate Mall, which is in the midst of a long-planned $6 million renovation process, are not concerned. “We’re excited about it,” said Diane Crossman, director of marketing. “We’re excited about the fact that retail is so vibrant in the Durham community that it cab support a third mall.” Opposition by anti-development groups has not passed by fully unnoticed. When Lowe’s, the nation’s second-largest warehouse home improvement chain, announced plans to build a store across

from Southpoint, resistance from CAUSE and others included a staged rally and a letter campaign to the mayor. Lowe’s subsequently withdrew its plans. And just as response from activists has varied, so do Durham citizens’ opinions. “The new mall will certainly make [traffic] worse,” said Emily Ballard, a Duke freshman from Durham who noted that traffic on 1-40 and Fayetteville Road is already bad. “But it’ll be good to have better stores. I really want the stores, but not the traffic.”

The elected Executive Board will take responsibility for carrying out Spectrum legislation. The Community Forum would be a group available to any independent students and would focus on leadership development. “There are students who are interested in multicultural issues, but they don’t know how to get into it,” Chen said. “Hopefully, the [Community Forum] will become an outlet for these students to express

these ideas.”

Most leaders said they hope Spectrum does not become what it used to be: an umbrella group for cultural organizations much like the Interfraternity Council is for fraternities. Chen explained that in the early 19905, the group advocated too much on behalf of cultural groups, and cultural group leaders felt like they did not have a say in University policy. “It became its own separate club and in doing that, it really lost a lot of legitimacy,” said Diya President Shruti Haldea, a senior. “This year, Spectrum has really risen to the task of being responsive to cultural groups. I can’t stress that enough. It has provided a forum in which for us to really engage in serious campus-related dialogue and not just cultural programming.”

the University established two committees: One studies the construction of a multicultural center—a proposal that has been on the table for five years, Narvarte said. The other group is studying funding mechanisms available to student groups. Both committees are expected to release reports next month. “[Spectrum has] been dead for the past three or four years. Polentzi and [Co-president Sofya Asfaw, a junior,] have done a great job of reincarnating it and making it a powerful forum where cultural leaders can interact and distribute ideas and act as a think tank,” said junior Patricia Chen, president of the Asian Students Association.

Arafat, Israelis warn of escalation in Mideast conflict By MARK LAVIE Associated Press

Israel’s defense JERUSALEM chief Thursday didn’t rule out sending troops into Palestinian-controlled areas in pursuit of militants, saying Israeli soldiers would go “any place” that endangers the Jewish state. Yasser Arafat, meanwhile, warned that the Palestinian uprising would press ahead as renewed clashes left four Palestinians dead. Defense Minister Binyamin BenEliezer said Israel might send forces into Palestinian-controlled territory, a step it has never taken, to protect Israel’s security. Asked about chasing militants into the Palestinian zones, he said, “Everything for us is kosher.” In a telephone conference with U.S. Jewish leaders late Thursday, he said Israel would send forces “any place we feel... is endangering us.” He said he hoped Arafat, the Palestinian leader, would learn from the “attacks that we are going to conduct” that only negotiations can lead to a solution. Thursday, Israeli soldiers shot and killed two Palestinian rock-throwers, ages 13 and 17, near the Erez crossing point from northern Gaza into Israel. Eight other teenagers were wounded. A Palestinian police officer was killed in a clash near the isolated Jewish settlement of Netzarim, south of Gaza City. Also, a Palestinian was killed and another wounded when Israeli forces opened fire as they tried to enter Gaza by climbing a border fence that divides a refugee camp between Gaza and Egypt, Palestinians said. The Israeli military said it was unaware of the incident.

Dewitt

In Washington, President George W. Bush referred to a string of bomb attacks and shootings, calling for an end to attacks on Israel. “The signal I am sending to the Palestinians is stop the violence, and I cannot make it any more clear. And I hope that Chair Arafat hears it loud and clear. He is going to hear it again on the

telephone today,” Bush told reporters. He also asked Israel to show restraint and ease restrictions on the Palestinians.

Returning from a two-day Arab summit in Jordan, Arafat inspected the ruins of his Force 17 guard headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah, hit in a nighttime raid by Israeli helicopter gunships. Arafat said the Palestinian uprising will continue despite Israeli measures. Palestinian radio stations reverted to nationalistic songs and calls for a popular uprising, a tone that had faded after the first few weeks of the current conflict, which began Sept. 28 after Ariel Sharon, now Israel’s prime minister, visited a disputed holy site in the Old City of Jerusalem sacred to Muslims and Jews and claimed by both sides. Palestinians were defiant after the Israeli helicopter assault, the first military action ordered by Sharon since he

took office March 7. Arafat said Israeli military measures would not bend the will of his people. He said the uprising will continue “until we raise the Palestinian flag in every mosque and church and on the walls of Jerusalem.” Ahmed Qureia, speaker of the Paletinian legislature, charged that Israel is

Palestinian attacks this week in which a baby and two teenagers died. Sharon, who says Arafat is responsible for the violence, referred to a longrange campaign to end the bloodshed. Sharon appealed to his people to show

overnight or in one day,” he said.

In Hebron, where a 10-month-old Israeli girl was killed Monday by a gunshot from a Palestinian-controlled hill, Jewish settlers clashed Thursday with Palestinians and cursed their own soldiers for trying to stop them. Rejecting Jewish law that requires quick burial and rebuffing an appeal from Sharon, the parents of the dead baby have refused to bury her until Israel recaptures the Abu Sneineh hill, where the Palestinians live.

House approves tax cuts for couples, families with kids By DAVID ROSENBAUM

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON Forging ahead despite uncertain prospects in the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives Thursday approved two more elements of President George W. Bush’s tax-cut plan and took the first tentative step toward eventually abol-

ishing the estate tax. By a vote of 282-144, the House passed a bill that would lower income taxes for married couples and double the tax credit available to families with children. The measure is somewhat more favorable than the president’s proposal to low-income families and less beneficial to the wealthy. Unlike the vote Wednesday on the outline of the president’s budget and the one three weeks ago on the core of his tax plan, an across-the-board cut in incometax rates, the vote Thursday had some flavor of bipartisanship. Sixty-four Democrats joined the Republicans in supporting the bill. Opposing it were 143 Democrats and an Independent, Rep. Bernard Sanders of Vermont. Immediately after that vote, the members of the House Ways and Means Committee trooped across the street to the cavernous room where the committee meets and approved a bill that would repeal the estate tax. But in the interest of concealing the eventual cost, the repeal would not become effective until 2011. Before passing the bill with tax breaks for couples and families with children, the House rejected a Democratic measure to give taxpayers a $5O billion rebate this year. Republicans said the tax rebate, which was meant to stimulate the economy quickly, should be considered as part of the permanent tax reduction the president wants. “We want to do all this stuff together,” said Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-lU. At his news conference Thursday morning, Bush said he favored immediate tax relief, but added: “We’ve got to have long-term relief as well. Part of building confidence in our economy is not only to give consumers a boost but to have a plan that reduces rates for the long term so that people who make investments—small-business owners, the entrepreneurs—will have certainty that the cash flows of the future will be enhanced so they can expand their job base and make new capital purchases.” Thursday’s votes in the House had been widely expected. The real excitement will come next week when the Senate, evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, takes up the president’s budget outline, which allocates $1.6 trillion over 10 years for

tax reduction. It is clear that the president’s tax plan does not command a majority in the Senate, but neither does any other tax and budget plan at this stage. Republicans portrayed the bill the House passed Thursday as away to correct a quirk in the tax law that causes some couples, particularly those in which the husband and wife both work, to pay more income taxes than they would if they were single. The bill, which would give all couples who pay income taxes a break, has these four parts: It would double the standard deduction, starting next year, to make it twice that for single people. This year, the standard deduction for couples is $7,600 and that for single people is $4,500. For couples who itemize deductions, the bill would gradually raise the amount of income covered by the 15 percent tax bracket. For low-income working couples, the bill would raise the amount of income on which they would be entitled to the eamed-income tax credit. It would adjust the alternative minimum tax, a special tax on those with unusually large deductions, to ensure that couples would not be treated less favorably than individuals. The House’s plan would be more generous than the president’s proposal for low-income couples and those with only one wage earner. The other part of the bill the House approved Thursday would double the tax credit for families with children to $l,OOO a child, from $500; it would also make $lOO ofthat increase retroactive and applicable to 2001 income taxes. Workers with one or two children who do not owe enough in income taxes to be entitled to the full credit would be allowed a rebate up to the amount they paid in Social Security and Medicare taxes. Currently,

Road seems clear for passage of campaign finance bill >

CAMPAIGN FINANCE from page 2

McConnell, R-Ky., who has been fighting

such campaign finance legislation for more than a decade, conceded defeat. “There’s nobody to come to the rescue,” McConnell said. “This train is moving down the track.” McConnell said he would turn his attention to putting together a court challenge, in case the bill passed the House and was signed into law. Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., who joined forces with McCain this year, said, “I’m confident that we are on the way to victory.” At the White House earlier in the

day, President George W. Bush, who had criticized McCain’s legislation in their Republican primary battle last year, declined to say whether he would sign a bill that bans soft money. ‘This is a bill in progress,” Bush said. “It’s a bill that continues to change. And I’ll take a look at it when it makes my desk. And if it improves the system, I’ll sign it. I look forward to signing a good piece of legislation.” He added, “I appreciate the hard work that’s being done on the legislation.” Bush had called for a ban on such donations by unions and corporations but not by individuals.

ward because Democrats, who have long provided the most votes for it, picked up seats, leaving the Senate divided 50-50. They also credited McCain with giving the issue new prominence during his presidential campaign. Moreover, in the last election the parties broke nearly even in soft-money fund-raising, making some Republicans willing to take a second look at the system, And Sen, Fred Thompson, R-Tenn,, who was a supporter of McCain, said Bush’s position in favor of some softmoney donations but not others also helped McCain pick up support. “People asked themselves, am I going to storm the Bastille over protecting individual soft money?” he said. Senators also credited Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., the minority leader, with working hard to keep most members of his party behind a bill they had long voted for when they had been certain the Republicans would kill it. “I have done everything I know how to do to work with my caucus,” Daschle said midmoming, still uncertain how many Democrats would vote for the amendment tying the bill’s major provisions together for court scrutiny. Thursday afternoon’s debate on that provision was as pointed as any on the issue across the last two weeks. Lawmakers sparred over judicial restraint and the balance of powers, and quoted everyone from Alexander Hamilton to Mark Twain to Justice John Paul Stevens. The supporters of the provision—including several Democrats—said the Senate had created a comprehensive measure covering parties, candidates and outside groups that should rise and fall together.

Officials arrest suspect in 1998 slaying of abortion doctor By DAVID JOHNSTON

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON A fugitive anti-abortion activist charged with the sniper killing of an Amherst, N.Y., doctor in 1998 was arrested Thursday at a village post office in western France, federal authorities said. The French police, acting on information from the FBI, arrested the fugitive, 46-year-old James Kopp, in Dinan, a town in Brittany, after Kopp picked up a package mailed from New York that contained about $3OO in cash, the officials said. Information on Kopp had been sent via Interpol to police throughout the world, and for nearly two years he had been on the FBl’s most-wanted list in connection with the Oct. 23,1998, shooting death of Barnett Slepian, a doctor who performed abortions and who had long been a subject of protests. Slepian, who was 52, was struck by a bullet fired from a high-powered rifle through a window of his kitchen about 10 p.m. as he heated soup and chatted with his wife and one of his four children. He died about two hours later. Kopp was unarmed Thursday, and the arrest took place without incident after an international search that had gathered momentum in recent weeks. FBI agents had tracked Kopp to Ireland, the officials said, and Irish authorities were closing in when Kopp vanished on March 12, apparently leaving the country on a false passport. By late last week, FBI agents had picked up Kopp’s trail again, tracing him to Dinan. Thursday, after electronically monitoring his telephone conversations, they learned he would be at the post office. FBI agents quickly alerted the French police, who made the arrest. Officials said Thursday that Kopp had been assisted by associates in the anti-abortion movement and arrested a couple in New York, accusing them of conspiring to harbor a fugitive. Also Thursday, Attorney General John Ashcroft said efforts were underway to return Kopp to New York to stand trial. “We are committed to bringing Mr. Kopp back to the United States to face these charges,” Ashcroft said at a news conference. Kopp faces state charges of second-degree murder and federal charges of using a firearm in a crime of violence and using deadly force to prevent Slepian from providing abortions. If found guilty under federal statutes, Kopp could be sentenced to death. French authorities have been reluctant to permit extradition of suspects who might face the death penalty. In addition, Kopp has been sought by Canadian authorities in connection with the shootings of three Canadian doctors in 1994, 1995 and 1997. Each of those physicians survived the attacks. At the news conference, FBI Director Louis Freeh said: “There’s a lot ofrestrictions in the treaty with respect to the penalty. These are diplomatic issues that have to be determined.” Later, Justice Department officials said they were confident that they would be able to bring Kopp back to the United States. Freeh said Kopp had help in his escape and in his more than two-year effort to elude detection—a potentially crucial finding for investigators who have long searched to uncover a support network behind abortion clinic violence. In the first of what officials said could be several arrests, federal authorities charged a New York couple with aiding Kopp’s flight. FBI agents arrested the married couple, Dennis Malvasi and Loretta Marra, at their home in Brooklyn, Federal authorities said Malvasi was convicted in the 1986 bombing of a Manhattan abortion clinic and said Marra had known Kopp since 1990, when both were arrested and jailed for two months in Vermont. She was also arrested with Kopp in Italy in 1992 for anti-abortion activities. In an affidavit filed Thursday in a Brooklyn federal court, an FBI agent said that the couple communicated with Kopp for about a year, based on documents found during a covert search of the couple’s apartment. Investigators also obtained copies of e-mail messages sent in recent days from France. The agent said the messages were from Kopp, who asked for money and discussed plans to meet with Malvasi and Marra. Investigators also found letters from Kopp that were sent from Ireland to Malvasi under the alias Ted Barnes. Investigators, who had also installed eavesdropping devices on the couple’s phone, overheard a conversation between them, on March 5 in which they discussed “Jim’s money” and the need to “get it.

Freeh said Kopp was careful to elude his pursuers. “He took particular steps to avoid detection and capture, including the use of public phones, anonymous email-type communications, and a lot of deliberate efforts to avoid apprehension and location.” In Buffalo, N.Y., FBI agents said Thursday that Kopp was thought to have led a somewhat lonely life during the year that he spent in Ireland, moving from city to city, working at clerical jobs and living in hostels. He altered his appearance from the goateed man in glasses who glared out from wanted posters, shaving his beard and appearing thinner than when he was last seen in the United States in November 1998, after authorities said he was wanted as a material witness. In October 2000, Kopp was charged in a two-count federal indictment, accused of using deadly force to prevent Slepian from providing reproductive services and of using a firearm to commit a crime of violence.

In addition, Kopp faces state charges of second-degree murder, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon, charges brought by a grand jury in Erie County, N.Y, in June 1999. Investigators were first led to Kopp by a jogger’s report of a suspicious car in the Slepians’ neighborhood in the days before the shooting. The car’s Vermont license plate led authorities to Kopp’s 1987 Chevrolet Cavalier. The car was found by the police at Newark Airport in December 1998. Forensic examination connected Kopp to the ambush site through fibers found in his car and by a hair at the scene that closely matched Kopp’s. Officials, who recovered a rifle with a sighting scope buried in the woods behind the Slepian home almost five months after the killing, suspected that Kopp hid the weapon at the site several days before the crime, came back to shoot Dr. Slepian and then reburied the gun before fleeing.

Student leaders pressure for focus on all demands I? RESPONSE from page

“Yes, those are important issues, but you should never just focus on those.” Kelly Black, president of the Duke chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, agreed that the University must continue focusing on all the demands, not just a few. “I think the most important thing... is that all 13 are important and that the University has done a poor job of at least working with and for African-American students to make sure that those demands are met,” she said. “I think we can get into trouble by trying to rank them in a hierarchy.” In the highlighted areas, the redescribed administrative port progress as laudable. In the hiring of black faculty, for example, the Committee on Black Faculty recommended in 1993 that the number be doubled over the next decade. However, with only two years to go, progress is closer to a 50 percent increase. Nonetheless, administrators feel that given the difficulties of recruiting black faculty, this increase is sizable. “We’re clearly making progress toward that goal,” said John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “Duke is not alone in wanting to increase the number of black faculty. There are a lot of other places trying to do the same thing.” Burness added that black professors are very much in demand and that the market for them is very competitive.

In other areas, the report claimed great success. Leon Dunkley was hired as director of the Mary Lou Williams Center in 1998, satisfying the demand for a full-time head of the center. The demand that BSA be given adequate space was addressed when it became one of the few campus organizations granted “permanent” space in the Bryan Center and not subject to an annual review. And the demand to establish a department of black studies has manifested itself as the Department of African and African-American Studies, which currently boasts 69 majors or minors and 958 students enrolled its courses. Even in these areas, however, leaders are not content to declare the matters closed. “I would not just take the numbers at face values,” said Antoine. “Statistically, the numbers don’t speak the full story. It’s not the fault of the [AAASI department but there’s definitely room for growth.” He noted that only six ofthe 69 students cited in the report listed AAAS as their first major. Bumess said he believes the report could change administrative policy, but added that most of the focus since the protest has been on compiling the report, not dealing with its consequences. Next week, senior administrators will release another statement in which they will suggest steps that can be taken to remedy black students’ concerns.

An open letter to the Duke community

All of us are proud of our basketball teams accomplishments this season, and excited about the teams success. In the final stretch of the season, we know that Duke s sixth man will be rooting hard for the Blue Devils in Minneapolis and hoping we have an opportunity to celebrate more wins. As we celebrate, we want to make sure everyone has not only a good time, but a safe time. Safety is a serious issue. In the past, there have been occasions where students exuberance seriously threatened their own safety and Jhe safety of others. In order to make any basketball celebration safe, everyone should know that: A permit for a bonfire in front of House P has been issued by the Durham Fire Marshal in the event the men s basketball team wins the national championship Monday night. No permit has been issued for the semi-final game on Saturday night, and the fire marshal has clearly stated that any unauthorized bonfire could je rdize the permit for Monday night. In addition, been approved as a bonfire site Monday m

A big-screen TV will be set up in Cameron indoor for all Duke students to watch the semi-finals Saturday night. If Duke wins, Cameron will be open to students again on Monday. Students must bring a valid ID to get inside Cameron.

While each of us shares responsibility for safety, it s the job of Duke Police officers to maintain public order. When necessary, officers will control access to certain areas of the campus, instruct people to discontinue behavior considered to be dangerous or disorderly and, when necessary, will issue citations or make arrests. Students who engage in misconduct also are subject to disciplinary action by the university. It should go without saying that members of the university community should not interfere with the work of police officers or emergency personnel. -

In the past, celebrations of our team s success have sometimes invited increased criminal activity on campus. Please remember to lock the doors of your car and dorm room. And remember that Safe Haven will be open to women who need assistance; members of Duke Rescue also will be available for students who need help. Other safety measures will be taken as needed.

Saturday’s schedule: Doors open to all students with a valid ID at 5 p.m. Concession stands will be open. Streets leading to campus will be closed to the public at 9:30 p.m. Duke students and employees will need their IDs to drive onto campus. ~

If Duke defeats Maryland, no bonfires will be permitted afterward. Save those benches for the big celebration Monday night.

Monday’s schedule:

If Duke advances to the finals, all students with a valid ID can again watch the game at Cameron. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Concession stands will be open.

Access to the campus will be limited. Students planning to watch the game at Cameron should remember to bring their IDs; students and employees planning to drive to campus also should have their IDs.

Streets leading to campus will be closed to the public at 9 p.m. Duke students and employees will need their IDs to drive on to campus.

There are consequences to dangerous behavior and such behavior will be stopped if it threatens the safety of members of the university community. Additionally, members of the A Team will be providing plastic cups to people carrying bottles, and asking for the bottles as a safety precaution. Duke Police and A Team members will be available to provide any help that s needed.

A permit for a bonfire has been issued for the area in front of House P. No other bonfires will be permitted. No fuel may be added to the fire after 1:30 a.m. Let’s celebrate safely!

Please help make our celebrations of the success of Duke basketball safe for all of us. Let s make the conclusion of the season fun and accident free. Go Duke!

Tuesday’s schedule:

The men’s basketball team will arrive at Raleigh-Durham international Airport at about 1:45 p.m. and will proceed to Cameron Indoor Stadium, where a welcome-home rally (win or lose) is planned for about 2:15 p.m.

|fl& &C,

The search for credibility week, members ofthe Graduate and Professional Student Council elected the organization’s leadership for the upcoming year. The new president will inherit many of the problems that have plagued the council for years, but some problems are more pronounced than others. One such problem is the lack of representation on the executive committee from the Fuqua School ofBusiness, Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, School of Medicine, School of Nursing and School ofLaw. The leadership of the organization will have an exceptional burden in reaching out to these communities and ensuring that their needs will be addressed. GPSC must set agendas that will encourage greater participation from the professional student community. A year from now, GPSC leaders should only be satisfied if the council’s leadership is as diverse as the organization’s constituency. If GPSC finds that they are unable to represent the University’s professional student community better, then they must find ways to interact on a more direct level with each school’s student government. Efforts by the current leadership to meet with this more localized leadership have been significant steps in the right direction, and the incoming leaders should continue this strategy. Internally, the council has suffered problems that face many other student organizations. Too few members do too much of the work. GPSC must aggressively attempt to increase attendance and participation in the council’s initiatives. In order to so, the council must better communicate to its constituency the importance ofits work. This year GPSC has completed important work advocating for better parking and improving students’ relationship with faculty, but more can be done. An effective student government should be able to aggressively pursue more than one topic at a time. There are still many important issues that the council has only begun to address. These initiatives, however, may not be enough to counter the organization’s most significant problem: credibility. The poor confidence in GPSC among its own constituency will continue to be a major hurdle for the organization. There is a common perception that GPSC does very little on behalf of graduate and professional students. Such a perception is not helped when the same few people are re-elected annually and others must be prodded into taking a leadership position. To help alleviate the divide between the organization and its constituency, GPSC should consider adopting a system similar to Duke Student Government’s legislator individual projects. Under such a system, council members can do important work that will benefit departments and schools. By pursing such policies, the council will prove that they are deserving of the respect that they demand.

Duke must take lead in stopping alcohol abuse In the aftermath of my son’s death, in my state of shock, trying to understand that my beautiful, only son was gone, trying to grasp what had happened, I started

to look for a scapegoat—someone to blame. Could I blame the doctors at Duke University Medical Center? The doctors and nurses who fought to save his life? Who watched stunned and helpless, in one of the top medical centers in the country, as he slipped into death? Could I blame his fraternity? The fraternity he loved? That he fought to get into? Could I blame Duke University? Duke, his first

choice! I still remember his genuine joy when he

his

packet with “Class of 2001” on a gold sticker. The deeper I went into my heart, the more clearly I saw the truth. If I could lay the blame where it truly belonged, American society was to blame for Raheem’s death. There is an underlying problem in American culture that needs to be brought to the surface. Abusive consumption of alcohol is neither harmless nor inevitable. Denial that there is a problem, whether on campus or in the larger society, isn’t going to help. In order to address this problem properly, we must address both the

personal responsibility of the individual and the responsi-

bility of society and its institutions. America’s national leaders in higher education

need to shine a spotlight on the true nature of alcohol and its insidious and relentless negative effects on the safety of the students in their charge. Alcohol abuse on Duke University’s campus is no longer a secret. Let Duke University, both administra-

tors and students, lead the way for the rest of the country. Let Duke University be the first high-profile university to take its head out ofthe sand and be a powerful proponent for a change in attitude about binge drinking. Note: My son, Raheem Bath, would have been graduating this May, if he were still alive.

Chronicle ignores Hunter-Gault’s achievements The Chronicle’s March 5 editorial on the selection of Charlayne Hunter-Gault as this year’s commencement speaker postulates that “the speech should be memorable not only for its message, but doubly so for its deliverer.” Sadly, the characterization of Hunter-Gault as a “no-name speaker” reveals far more about the ignorance of The Chronicle than it does about

Hunter-Gault. Having watched her career over the years and hearing her speak on several occa-

sions, I know Hunter-Gault is

a first-rate and often inspiring speaker. It is perhaps understandable that a person bom in or shortly after 1980

might not fully appreciate

required to ensure her safety on a daily basis. But it is incomprehensible that The Chronicle could be so unappreciative of the power of her many accomplishments as a path-breaking journalist: She was the first black person on the staff of The New Yorker, perhaps the most respected magazine of its genre over the last 50 years; for nine years she served as a reporter and then as a bureau chief for The New York Times; her 19 years with the award-winning McNeil-Lehrer Report on PBS included 13 years as that program’s national correspondent; her receipt of both of the highest honors a broadcast journalist can receive—two George Foster Peabody Awards for excellence in journalism (the equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize) and a national news and documentary Emmy Award. We’re not talking about chopped liver, folks!

The editorial was right on one issue: Duke’s graduates and their families deserve to hear from a speaker who is both a person of substance and an excellent speaker. If those are the criteria that the govern should University’s choice of a commencement speaker, then Hunter-Gault more than passes muster. If HunterGault was good enough for Nelson Mandela to select her as one ofonly two correspondents from around the world to receive an extended interview with him following his release from prison, I suppose she’s probably good enough to be a commencement speaker at Duke. Unless, of course, our society’s passion for celebrity is what today’s generation of Duke students is all about.

Daring Director Recess Associate Film Editor Greg Bloom spoke with writer/director David Green, the man behind the indie splash George Washington. ajor talents don't get recognized for making competent, or even pretty good art. It takes those HI rare works that are so unexpected and even conH founding that, in the public rush just to find what it is all about, visionary new artists receive their first spotlight. And so the humble yet self-assured Texas native David Green has become a standout of the filmmakers' Class of 'Ol for his writing and directing of George Washington, his bright cinematic gem. George Washington carries the spirit that independent filmmaking seems to have lost among the cell phones at Sundance: a story about a group of young friends growing up in the decrepit rural South, told with unconventionally loose and heavily symbolic narrative and a striking, carefully constructed visual style. The kids deal with adult matters of love, death and social responsibility in a manner at once childish and mature, finding beauty and hope amid the decaying landscape of rural poverty. But rather than force these themes upon the audience, George Washington balances its peculiar weights on a thin rope between absurdity and profundity; the side on which Green's film eventually falls will depend in large part upon each individual's perception. Recess caught up with Green while he was in L.A. for the Independent Spirit Awards. Your film's been out for about a year, but it still doesn't seem like people know what to make of it. Did you expect it to be held up to this level of scrutiny? I didn't really make the movie with any expectations other than that it was going to be something that I wanted to see and spend two years of my life with. I didn't think of it in terms of marketing or what potential audience it had. We were just trying to get together a team that we believed in, and we trusted our senses to try to make a film that we wanted to represent ourselves, like a calling card. Maybe it wasn't the smartest movie to make—it's not The Grinch but then, I wouldn't want to ever watch more than five minutes of that movie. So in away, it is the smartest movie, because it's 100 percent us. Is it true that you lived with the crew communally? We had this house in Winston-Salem, and the cast and crew just piled in and lived out of it. A lot of people look at it financially, and sure it's a lot cheaper to do that. But it also brought a lot of psychological benefits to production in terms of getting the cast and crew on a more intimate level and to have a family environment where it's not just some big gross lighting technician hanging over the kid, but it’s a guy they know and hang out with and he burned their toast that morning for breakfast. It was a trick that was very handy in getting a level of performance out of these young, vulnerable performers. How do you think the film holds up to hype like this? In September, when we won an award in Toronto, I think it was Time magazine that referred to what we were facing as the "burden of praise." It's kind of scary because we'd have 600 people piling into an auditorium hearing that Roger Ebert had called it one of the best films of the year. They're approaching it with all these expectations rather than thinking, "Here's a movie that came out of nowhere with no-name actors. What a fresh surprise!" It just plays on an entirely different level and our audiences are entirely divided between those that think it's slow and pretentious and dull and those that think it's slow and moving and poetic. It's a movie that I think is bom to divide audiences, and that's not a bad thing. Your film isn't like other U.S. indie films. How do you feel about your place in relationship to the other Tarantino and Smith knockoff indie

—

filmmakers? They play their game and I play mine. What Tarantino did with Pulp Fiction was groundbreaking, and it provided a lot of different, evenues for people to

open their eyes a little bit. Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats) created the Special Olympics for film, which I'm not a fan of. There are very few "maxed out my credit card and spent my life savings to make this movie" movies that translate into quality films for me. My problem with most independent films is that they're just ultra-low budget versions of Hollywood films. They're not taking advantage of the fact that they have no one to answer to, but that's what independence really is. Look at those films that were coming out in the early '9os that were exciting, like sex lies and videotape, and Reservoir Dogs and Spike Lee's earlier films like Do The Right Thing. That's innovation, that's challenging the audience, that's waking people up and saying "Look what I have to say." Almost every article I've found about you and George Washington has mentionedTerrence Malick's Days of Heaven in comparison, and you've cited it as inspiration. How does it feel to be compared to Malick in every single interview? 1 could never compare myself to the guy, who 1 consider the master of filmmaking. He really does achieve in film what I would aspire to, and I haven't reached that by any means. In terms of balance of landscape and characters and music, kind of semi-naturalism yet still manipulated, I can kind of see that. But I think it's more in just my "accent" of making films, because that's what I grew up with. When other kids were watching Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars, I was going to get Never Cry Wolf and Badlands. Do you feel like your film is looked at as a race movie? My film deals with race in the mere fact that it doesn't mention race. That makes a statement, as anything will on a subject that people are touchy about. If there was a statement I was going to make, it was that it's not such a big deal to these kids; there's an unspoken relationship between them that is on a human level rather than black-white or old-young. This gives them a common emotional ground, rather than being hung up on these politics. I'm the most unpolitical guy, so I never would want to make something heated or controversial. In your next project, do you plan to follow up on this style or will you

branch out? I always want to make movies where the landscape is a character, an environment that is new and unusual.... It's kind of frustrating because right now all these people are offering me movies about kids, and some of them are really good. But that would be about the dumbest thing I could do right now, to do something so similar. So that's why I really want to follow it up with a science fiction movie. You know, it's about time that somebody will step up and do something

real with that genre. find that so much philosophy in science fiction goes unexposed, and when it is exposed it's in something like Battlefield Earth, which is just boring and annoying. Just so you know, this interview is very good news for you. We here at Recess have a history of giving future big names their big breaks. People we profile go on to win all kinds of awards. I interviewed Steven Gaghan a few months ago, and he just won the Oscar for Traffic's screenplay. We take full credit, of course, but he forgot to mention it in his speech. Just so you know who to thank when it's you up there. [Laughs] I'm writing my acceptance speech now. George Washington is currently showing at the Chelsea Theater In Chapel Hill.

A Heartbreaking Work

annOU

gfell

The scene depicted to the right doesn’t even appear in Heartbreakers, but it’s in all the previews. That’s how bad this movie is. By Alex Garinger "1 ennifer Love Hewitt has said in recent interviews that with her performance as Page, a gorgeous and seductive con artist in the film Heartbreakers, she was hoping to distance herself from the "girl next door" persona that America has come to expect from her. Can someone say "mis-

seduces her new stepdad, an Max walks in on her daughte: and soon-to-be-ex-husband in the throes of passion. Quick divorce, substantial settlemen Max and Page take the mone' and run. The film opens with the bombshells successfully entr ping Liotta, a chop-shop expert from New Jersey. Soon, though, the IRS confiscates their ill-earned funds, and the mother-daughter team (their gossamer relationship is a major theme of the film) goes to Palm Beach for one last con. Weaver tries her hand at Hackman's tobacco baron, while Hewitt aims at Lee's bar owner. Can you guess who's not able to pull off the con and who ends up with whom? What makes this film just plain awful is not its predictability, but how completely unfunny it is. The jokes, which are either crude references to the leading ladies' bodies or meager attempts at slap-

Ms. Hewitt, perhaps best known as the sweet and lovable Sarah from the Fox television show Party of Five, co-stars in this debacle with critical laureates Sigourney Weaver, Ray Liotta, Gene Hackman, Jason Lee and, in strong supporting performances, her breasts. Taking a cue from Julia Roberts' flesh-baring (and now Academy Awardwinning) turn as Erin Brockovich, J-Love employs her formidable decolletage to con Liotta, Hackman and Lee (in that-order) out of their millions—all under the supervision of her co-conspirator and mother, Max (Weaver). The routine is the same for every victim: Over the course of three months, Max persuades a wealthy man to marry her. Then, the day after the wedding, Page successfully

to watch. In fact, wish could have been a fly on the wall at early test screenings for Heartbreakers,

so that I could have seen the producers cringe in utter horror as the audience laughed maybe seven times during the 123 minutes—yes, over two hours—of what is clearly supposed to be a comedy. Of course, perhaps they realized during the shoot that the only draw of this film would be Ms. Hewitt's revealing wardrobe; but by the end credits, we begin to wish the filmmakers focused a little more on the chuckles than on the curves. □

Britney Spears, Hot Pockets, my crush on the boy from Billy Elliot, stalking.... What do all of these things have in common? Well, to open up my soul, they're my guilty pleasures (except for the last one, which might be a crime). And now, along with the art house fave Titanic, I'm ready to induct another thing to this exclusive list: The Brothers

The Brothers is about four young professional African-American friends who just don't know what to make of love. except that it comes between "ignorant" and "stupid." But as they find themselves pushing 30, they decide that maybe it is time to settle down with their lady loves. Brian (Bill Bellamy of MTV infamy) is a shady lawyer who digs women and tots of them. The doctor Jackson (Morris Chestnut, so tragic in Boyz N the Hood) competes with his semi-estranged father for attention from the ladies. Derrick (D. L GRADE: Hughley) is married with a daughter, but danger-19 ous waters lay ahead. And finally, the hot-evenwith-a-missing-tooth Terry (Shemar Moore) is set to marry Bebe (Her name is very ironic, because she likes guns a lot. Clever, no?}. Are they ready to give it all up for women? Or shall boys continue to be boys? The premise may not be genius, the jokes may be offensive, but laughed. Hard. Chestnut and Moore play Hughley. effective straight men to the comics Bellamy and mom. And to top Jenifer Lewis also shines as Chestnut's 227 of Marla Gibbs it off, late 'Bos and early '9os TV stars Prince of the Fresh and Harvard undergrad Tatyana Ali of Jackson's and Derrick's mom Bel Air have small parts as ~ sister, respectively.

The Farrelly Brothers have ruled the comedy genre for the past six years with such laugh riots as Dumb and Dumber (1994), There's Something About Mary (1998) and last year's Me, Myself and Irene. Their freshman attempt was hysterical and Mary showed some spunk audiences had never seen before, but with Irene, the boys seemed to be slacking off with their humor. The just-released Say It Isn't So proves just how far downhill they've fallen. The movie revolves around Jo Wingfield (Heather Graham) and Gilly Noble (Chris Klein), who are planning to get married until it is discovered that the two are brother and sister. Valdine Wingfield (Sally Field) is about as white trash as they come —even when she learns that Gilly is actually not her son, she sticks to the lie so that Jo will marry a millionaire from Beaver, Oregon. The story follows Gilly to Oregon on his quest to win Jo's heart again. Unfortunately, this film couldn't win my heart. Its script is so absurdly stupid that the actors would need to be comic geniuses to pull it off. That's why all of the Farrelly Brothers' previous movies had incredible casts with actors like Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels and Ben Stillereach with real comedy backgrounds. Neither Klein nor Graham has ever succeeded in a comedic role, and it is evident in this movie. Klein has been in comedies, true, but has never been the carrier of the jokes. In both Election and American Pie, his co-stars were supposed to generate the laughs, not him. His lack of experience in this genre is apparent in his portrayal of Gilly. Graham boasts a few funny roles on her resume —she's just never been funny. She simply manages to be pretty enough for people to overlook it. But for those only seeking to see a hot Heather Graham here, beware. Graham looks downright freaky in some scenes, with her new breed of facial contortions used to convey "emotion." I will, however, applaud her on her newly acquired skill of

crying on cue. She is now able to cry whenever she wants, and to put her forehead in a position that truly tells the audience, "I'm sad." You'd think the veteran Sally Field could help out the movie with her obnoxious character, but the role is horribly overacted. The only redeemable character in the movie is Dig McCaffey (Orlando Jones), the legless pilot who helps Gilly in his quest for Jo. Jones has been writing comedy since the days of A Different World and appeared on Mad 7V until he was snatched up for the "7-Up Yours" ad campaign. Jones knows how to be funny, and salvages Graham and Klein's butchered leftovers as much as he can. If you can stand a script with a couple (literally, two) cheap laughs and only one real funny guy, then Say It Isn't So might be a good way to spend a rainy afternoon. But it still isn't a movie most people will find anything good to say about. —By Cary Hughes

Story and Photography By Jonas Blank Concept and Reporting By Martin Barna

ARAMARK may be coming to campus, but we got to them first. Here's what we found out about the company

that hopes to feed you for the next v.view.v.year&v.v

ARAMARK may be coming to town. But before we let that happen, Recess decided to bring ourselves to ARAMARK first. If Duke students are going to be subjected to the megacorp—or reject it—we want the community to have a fair assessment of what ARAMARK's product is like. As the old saying goes, you can't knock it 'till you've tried it. And now we have tried it—all of it. We headed to the campus of ACC rivals Wake Forest University, a school with similar population demographics and a 30-plus year relationship with the company. Against our better judgment—and gastrointestinal well-being—we attempted, in the span of about three hours, to eat everything the company has to offer on campus, excluding the chain stuff (Pizza Hut, Subway, Chick-Fil-A and Krispy Kreme doughnuts). But everything else the sandwiches, the desserts, the Chinese food, the chicken—was, literally, on the table. Our biteby-bite analysis may not be pretty, but it should be a revealing look at the conglomerate that may come to dominate dining at Duke. —

10:25 a.m. Reynolda Cafeteria We got to campus a bit too late for the fullfledged breakfast —the kind with eggs and bacon and such —but ARAMARK's operations in the Reynolda Cafeteria (affectionately known as "The Pit"—see the similarity?) offer a continental breakfast until lunchtime. In fact, the place serves continuously until closing at 8 p.m.—unlike the Great Hall at Duke. The cafeteria is divided into little sub-restaurants, or "concepts" with names that sound suspiciously like rejected theme park installations ("Parmagiano's," "Tortilla Fresca"). There's also a Freshens yogurt stand (a la Alpine Bagels), salad and fruit bar, a self-serve Krispy Kreme donut case, a similar bagel case, drink machines and a Subway restaurant. Of course, most of this stuff wasn't open for breakfast other than Java City, which served up an iced cinnamon roll and a danish, and "The Grill," which dispensed sausage-andegg and ham-and-egg croissants for our pleasure. We also picked up an apple, a hot chocolate and a soda called "cherry." (To their credit, ARAMARK's Wake operation serves both Coke and Pepsi products, just not their cherry sodas).

Once we sat down,

we chatted up Wake junior Britney Gallagher, who explained to us that Subway's lunchtime lines are usually longest and that, in general, she thinks ARAMARK makes a good effort at meeting student demand. In fact, the company just started highlighting a "Healthy Deacon" item of the day in response to student complaints about a lack of nutritional choices. Unfortunately, ARAMARK made no such recommendation at breakfast, but our money was on the bagels we neglected to eat. THE VERDICT: Our cinnamon bun could be bested by anything out of Little Debbie's back yard—it was dry and ill-flavored. The best part the core—was more like Mt. St. Helens in an off year than a bubbling cauldron of icing and cinnamon. The egg sandwiches had the familiar McDonald's flavors of grease and cheese, but with a lower price and a commensurately reduced amount of meat. The drinks didn't deviate much from what we expected. And the apple was, well, —

an apple.

11:15 a.m. Benson Food Court Located in the basement level of Wake Forest's Benson University Center (a centrally located, thoughtfully laid out version of the abysmal Bryan Center), the Benson Food Court houses even more ARAMARK operations. Most notable is Shorty's, Wake's ARAMARKed alternative to the Hideaway. The place serves four beers on tap (after 5 p.m.) and offers Starbuck's coffee, prepackaged sandwiches, desserts and cafeteria-style Chinese food during the day. There is a large pool hall in the back as well. Also in the area are more traditional ARAMARK "concepts," such as the highly popular Pan Geos, which serves the only specifically vegetarian food on campus. Although the stir-fry place offers only two options a day (skillet A has one item, skillet B has another), Pan Geos is almost always packed, probably due to the long waits for the two overworked employees to hand-make each order. "There aren't a lot of vegetarian options except for greasy pasta and this," said junior Sara Linderman, "and any meat sauces you i get are greasy, too." Although other vegm. heads made similar complaints about ARAMARK's selection, one must wonder what else vegetarians can ask for— Wake's dining services offer the same vegetable-based sandwiches, vegetarian Mexican food, pasta, breakfast foods and salads that Duke's do, along with a vegetarian-specific eatery. Also in the area is a place for grilled sandwiches, a

dessert stand, a deli, a whole room full of self-serve candy and a Pizza Hut that is one of three chains on the Wake campus. We skipped the pizza and snagged both offerings from Pan Geos (basically, rice and veggies on flatbread), a plate of Shorty's Chinese food, a chicken salad sandwich and a slice of bourbon pecan pie. THE VERDICT: After choking down two plates of Pan Geos—one item a spicy kidney bean dish slathered in cheese, the other a bland garbanzo and rice stir-fry that might even turn off a goat, the gorgefest was already wearing us down. After the Chinese food —gooey sweet and sour chicken and a greasy egg roll that left us longing for $2.50 and its microwave equivalent—we didn't know if we could make it through the chicken salad sandwich (90 percent mayonnaise, 10 percent chicken) and the pie. The pie turned out to be the Food Court's only saving grace—it was at least edible. We also got harassed by some Sig Ep fratters who apparently had never seen a camera before. They seemed happy as horses eating ARAMARK's swill, so we left them in peace. Judging by the Benson Center, ARAMARK's target audience is, well, dudes. Ones who eat—and eat and eat and eat—anything, that is.

11:45 a.m. Reynoida Cafeteria Lunch was served, and we were really groaning. After another interminable wait for the employees to hand-make our food, we sat down to a chicken burrito from Tortilla Fresca and chicken parmesan from Parmagiano's. With everything made to order, things don't move very quickly—do these Wake students just have extra time on their hands, or what? THE VERDICT: The burrito was literally dog-food quality, with rank tasting chicken, a tasteless, nameless sauce and stomach-turning, stale-tasting refried beans. The chicken parmesan stacked up favorably to the offerings of the Great Hall, with a spicier tomato sauce and richer flavor. And admittedly, the glutinous mass of delicious cheese on top of it, after our other experiences, made it less appealing that it normally might have been. After the burrito disaster, we needed a break. 12:15 p.m. Benson Center Shorty's told us that beer is not served until 5 p.m., but we couldn't bring ourselves to head back to the Pit. Instead, we took a break with Wake's weekly newspaper, The Old Gold and Black. It's not The Chronicle, we assure you.

� �f t

12:40 Reynolda Cafeteria As we headed back to the table for round four, weighted down with half a rotisserie chicken, a serving of yams, a biscuit, cucumber and tomato salad, three slices of pork tenderloin and a couple of drinks, we were accosted by Don McMahon, ARAMARK's retail operations manager for Wake Dining Services, who noticed our camera. Cornered as we were by the soda fountains, we listened respectfully through McMahon's spiel about ARAMARK and its "concepts"—the little minirestaurants like Pan Geos and Parmagiano's that the company can rotate in and out as it pleases. He confirmed that the company makes at least one rotation every year. Among its recent innovations, in fact, was the removal of chains Taco Bell and KFC in favor of a rotisserie grill and the abominable Tortilla Fresca.Taco Bell, McMahon explained, was suffering from "brand burnout," but had been more-than-adequately replaced by its ARAMARK equivalent, Tortilla Fresca. As we sat down to our fourth meal of the day, we chatted up a few more Wake undergrads, including one healthy fellow with a Caesar salad, a plate of cheese-laden pasta alfredo and a cleaned plate of ARAMex in front of him. While his friends spent most of their time bitching about the dining employees—who we found almost universally polite and friendly this guy spent a good 10 minutes telling us how much he loved Tortilla Fresca's fajitas and quesadilias. He also hit us with a hot tip—another faraway dining area called the IS Food Court purportedly had the best food on campus. His friend offered us some more immediately interesting analysis: "No matter what you eat, you're gonna MMM, LUNCH #2: ARAMARK's burrito tasted like vomit, but have to shit 20 minutes later" the chicken parmesan was adequate. Groaning at the thought of another whole cafeteria to tackle, we went back to pick up one last item: turkey tetrazzini, one of the offerings of a "concept" whose cuisine changes each day. As we laid down another wad of The Chronicle's hard-earned cash, the ARAMARK cashier, laughing, exclaimed, "I know you aren't eating all of that, or you'd be sick. I can only eat it once a day." Before we could even dig into our next pile of victuals, another ARAMARKeter plopped down at our table: Wake Forest Dining k Director n Services Veronica Cruickshank, politely inquiring who we were and why we were taking all the pictures. Though her thinly-veiled suspicion was a bit off-putting, she did inform us that she meets with students "all the time," and that they have come to expect a concept rotation at least once per year. "When we met after spring break this year," she said, "the first thing they wanted to know was, 'What are you going to change?'" Noting ARAMARK's longstanding relationship with Wake Forest, she didn't seem to Continued on next page —

understand the concept of ARAMARK not being there. The company has always been, and always will be, it seems, until the end. VERDICT: Though the intrusions of the ARAMARKeters left a bad taste in our mouths, most of the food didn't. The rotisserie chicken (roasted in a real rotisserie that you can watch) was moist and lightly seasoned and the sweet, soft yams did not disappoint. The fresh-from-the-oven biscuit (recommended by the staff) was light, flaky and buttery, and the pork tenderloin, though a bit dry, had plenty of flavor. And the cucumber and tomato salad, while not an item that can really shine, didn't do anything wrong, either. The only real culinary crime was the tetrazzini, which had more salt than Lot's wife after her biblical stare at Sodom and Gomorrah. At least we got a walk afterward. 1:30 p.m. Information Systems Building Food Court With an expansive, naturally lit space much like Duke's Levine Science Research Center Cafeteria, the IS Food Court was almost immediately appealing. Presaged with students' undying praise for the out-of-theway eatery (about a 10-minute walk rom most of Wake's dorms), we had a doubly natural inclination to like the place. Smaller than the other two eating areas, it had a Chick-Fil-A, a made-to-order pasta station, a barbecue grill, a salad bar and a deli that featured premium Boar's Head brand meats. There was also another Freshens ro-yo stand. We stepped to the made-to-order pasta stand—also nder the name Pan Geos, also with only two menu items—and ,agged a ham and pepper jack n rye and a slice of death by to boot. Unharassed by nd bathed in sunlight from the ioor-to-celling windows of the room, we sat down to THEY HEAR YOU, THEY REALLY the final, gut-busting REALLY DO: ARAMARK wants to meal on our ARAMARK ————listen to students, but they could adventure. start by stocking comment cards VERDICT: As the stuthe food dents promised, at the IS Court was worth the waljc. Pan Geos' marinara pesto pasta, unlike their stir-fry, was zesty and delicious—better than any pasta currently served at Duke. And the ham and pepper jack sandwich, dashed with a bit of olive oil and topped with farm-fresh tomatoes and sprouts, was well worth the four bucks. The chocolate cake, thicker than a block of cream cheese, was probably a health disaster, but its moist texture and rich, sweet flavor made it the perfect end to a day of unimpeachable gluttony

scale for the time being. Second, the company has been at Wake for over 30 years. It's one of the company's principal success stories, and

can't automatically be seen as an

approximation to what an impending

ARAMARK takeover might look like. Third, Wake Forest's dining operations are superior to Duke's in a fundamental way, in that the school's facilities are of adequate size, centrally located and properly equipped. The existence of a coherent HEALTHY DEACON OPTIONS: After students complained of all the facility design unhealthy food, ARAMARK hired a nutritionist to help out undoubtedly aids any dining operation. As for ARAMARK's employee satisfaction issues, we chose to focus more extensively on the customer aspect of the company—how would the food appear and taste to students? But of the employees we spoke with, none had anything negative to say about the company and seemed as complacent as any workers are expected to be. Given that food quality was the focus, our experience with ARAMARK suggested that the company could, at best, do marginally worse than the Great Hall —a few of the company's offerings were good, a fair portion were mediocre and many were terrible. It also did not offer any conceivable improvement over Duke's product —and couldn't match the quality of any of Duke's privatized eateries such as The Loop. ARAMARK treats food the way most large corporations treat what they make—as a product (or as they call it, a

a few factors in mind. First, unlike Duke (at least in the near future), the company controls all Wake din-

something that has no intrinsic value. If you want Mexican food, the company gives you that; if you want Greek or Japanese or Italian, it has that, too. But what ARAMARK does not—and cannot—offer is the specialization that comes with personal and individual experience with a cuisine. The company offers variety, but a variety of generally poor food made by the same trained and re-trained chefs. While ARAMARK has been responsive to student concerns at Wake, it cannot be personally invested in its product the same way that smaller operations like The Loop, Alpine Bagels, Armadillo Grill, Sanford Deli —or even Duke Dining Services —are. But as of now, ARAMARK isn't talking about replacing most of those eateries, and maybe it never would. In fact, if there's any certainty in this situation, it's this: College students, at least some of them, will always complain about college food. ARAMARK, whether serving salt-laden slop or classy made-to-order dishes, knows it. Any dining

ing operations, while its Duke foray would be on a much smaller

service—whether Duke-run or corporate —has to be acclimated and responsive to student demands. And, we might submit, be ready to deal with a few cases of Montezuma's Revenge.

We zoomed away from Wake feeling stuffed but satisfied —we had seen just about everything ARAMARK had to offer. Our only serious omission was skipping Wake Forest's Magnolia Room, their equivalent of our Oak Room. We had a few beers off campus instead. When considering ARAMARK from the perspective of its Wake Forest operation, it's

important to keep

TWO NEW CONCEPTS; Parmagiano's (left) and Tortilla Fresca (right) were recently added in response to student demand. Too bad those tortillas taste about as fresh as a mouthful of ass.

de la Hot on the heels of the innovative Art Official Intelligence, hip-hoppers De La Soul play Page Auditorium tonight.

Run

By Beth j

Although De La Soul basically epitomize "old school," the group also takes hip-hop to the next level. Their most recent release, Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump (2000) serves as the first disc in a forthcoming trilogy of AOI releases. The CD has been criticized as cameo-heavy, featuring everyone from Busta Rhymes to the Beastie Boys to Chaka Khan. Still, De La themselves remain true to their core: intelligent lyrics, eclectic samples and inspired beats. With the next AOI installments set for release this year, iht's performance will probably showcase selections i the upcoming CDs, as well as classic songs—from t Myself and I" to "Ring Ring Hey Hey." It would be >ecial treat to see "Biddies in the BK Lounge," too. id of course, the "Hip-Hop Hooray" anthem of the iw millennium—last year's "Oooh" featuring 'dman —will be unavoidable. It's even featured in ime new pro-MP3 ads for iMacs. De La Soul is an education in hip-hop history, from ;s foundation to its future. Any way you look at ;hem—as current innovators or old-school legends, night's show should not be missed. If you are a fan of any dynamic, intelligent hip-hop —from Tribe to Common to Jurassic s—De— 5 De La is a must-see. □

I Step aside, Lilith Fair. This Tuesday, the Cat's Cradle will house some serious girl power. On this tour, Amy Ray (of Indigo Girl fame) promotes her new solo album, Stag, with her new backup band, Durham's the Butchies. Don't go getting offended —the Butchies are fully aware of the implications of their name. Characterizing themselves as "out lezzies,” the women are proud and adamant about their sexual orientations. And as you've learned in recent issues of Recess, their Durham-based label (Mr. Lady) is owned by the band's own Kaia Wilson. On their own, The Butchies rock hard. With Amy Ray, they're a little tamer. As for lesbianrelated lyrics, let's just say that the line "Lucy Stoners don't need boners" constitutes most of the song "Lucy Stoners," which is representative

hip :

of the rather politicized, pro-lesbian materi-

al common to their songs. Of the two Indigo Girls vocalists, Amy's the one with the huskier voice: She's usually the backing vocals in the band's more popular songs, though she sings the lead in "Kid Fears" (with Michael Stipe). Steering away from the folkiness of the Indigo Girls, Amy Ray lets her punk and Southern hard rock tendencies loose on Stag. In concert, that's what you can expect to hear—a harder version of the Indigo Girls, with stronger political overtones and a more overtly lesbian message. And, of course, you can expect an estrogen-laden crowd. Not that there's anything wrong with that. ■1 • 1 By Abby Rubin ■ •1 '

DMC may be headlining Last Day of Classes, but the true pioneers of hip-hop are performing in Page Auditorium tonight. De La Soul first hit big with their 1989 debut album 3 Feet High and Rising, still considered one of the most influential and important hip-hop discs of all time. As members of rap's positive-focused Native Tongue movement, they revolutionized the genre with fellow artists Queen Latifah, The Jungle Brothers, Black Sheep and, most notably, A Tribe lems Called Quest. Critically and commercially acclaimed as "hippie rappers," De La ushered in the self-proclaimed D.A.I.S.Y. (Da Inner Sound Y'all) Age, a more intelligent, inclusive and introspective approach to hip-hop music. Rejecting the idea themselves as "soft" rappers, De La has spent the '9os redefining their sound and style, still proving to be one of the most innovative groups in hip-hop. Through their five albums and nearly 15 years together, De La has pushed the creative boundaries of their music while maintaining their integrity and credibility—not an easy feat in the increasingly commercialized rap game

Buckcherry Time Bomb (uni/dreamworks) Buckcherry's self-titled first album had two things going for it that the band's sophomore effort, Time Bomb, does not: an extremely catchy, hard-driving tune in "Lit Up" and a melodic mid-tempo song in "For the Movies." Given the lack of those things, it seems unlikely that any of the tracks from Time Bomb will equal the commercial success of "Lit Up." Still, Buckcherry's new disc is still solid rock n' roll. Buckcherry's best uKADb. quality is swaggering lead singer Joshua Todd's ability to sing straight-up hard rock followed by aggressive guitar reminiscent, most recently, of Guns N' Roses or an angrier Rolling Stones. Time Bomb continues riding the theme of the band's last record, best expressed by Todd's famous line from "Lit Up": "I like the cocaine /1 like the cocaine" Todd and guitarist Keith Nelson carry the torch for

the rock and roll lifestyle, addressing

sex, drugs, groupies, porn and sometimes even love.

The band plays it hard through Time Bomb's first four tracks, including their first single, "Ridin." Next up is" the title track, a song about the advantages that come with being a rock star. "Place in the Sun" is a smooth, slightly slower song that, along with "(Segue) Helpless" serves as a breather in the middle of the album. In fine glam rock tradition, a couple ballads —"You" and "Open My Eyes"—are thrown in for good measure.

Time Bomb further solidifies Buckcherry as a refreshing departure from today's standards of rap-rock and pop-punk. —By Dustin Stevens

Kings of Convenience Quiet Is the New Loud (astralwerks) Good things seem to be coming out of Scandinavia lately. The band Kings of Convenience is no exception. Hailing from Bergen, Norway, the duo is comprised of childhood friends Eirik Gtambek Boe and Erlend oye. They sound like a modern day Simon and Garfunkel: two acoustic guitars, two great voices, pensive GRADE: lyrics and the same beautiful harA- monies, with the occasional bit of piano or strings tossed in. On their website, the band notes that Bergen is "The rain capital of Norway," and you can certainly sense the dreariness of constant rain in the lyrical imagery and bittersweet vocal harpt monies of their gorgeous new album Quiet is the New Loud The songs, such as "Winning a Battle, Losing the War" and "Toxic Girl" deal with unrequited love and relationships gone sour. If you like Simon and Garfunkel, Nick Drake or Badly Drawn Boy, you should definitely check out this record.

Isolation Drills continues Guided By Voices’ obsession with glossy production. By Jonas Blank

It's

twd to imagine a band (well, one man, Bob Pollard, and whoever the hell he's recording with that year) going from a lofty career making noisy albums on four-track recorders to making super hi-fi studio masterworks without seeing some degree of fan attrition, if not revulsion. But Guided By Voices have retained as much of their cult following as could be expected over a decade-long career, even though they traded the hissy aud' bling for slick-sheened stuff produced by Ric Ocasek. it might be for good reason, too. Precisely what made Pollard so successful in the first place was the success of his pop sensibilities in spite of his bad-sounding albums, it's lacklu; ter swill like Aerosmith and Dav< Matthews' latest that need studi pros like Glen Ballard to dress them up; if their records sounder like early GBV classics like Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes, nobody would bother to listen to begin with. But as Isolation Drills, the band's latest release, suggests, Pollard's pop sensibility —his sense of melody and ability to create memorable songs out of simplistic structures—transcends all that... sometimes. Though Ocasek isn't on board this time, Isolation Drills retains all the glitter and gloss of the band's mixed-reviewed 1999 attempt, Do the Collapse. Producer Rob Schnapf keeps the amps cranked and Pollard's vocals high in the mix, shellacked over with enough studio gloss to make his voice perfect-pitched. But having a recording that belies no imperfections can also be a bad thing. Not only does it dilute the perceived honesty of what Pollard is trying to do, but it means that, since GBV's records now sound like everybody else's, they'll be judged alongside them, too. The jangly Gin Blossomy riff that leads off the

album on "Fair Touching," has you scared, if only for a moment, that the band won't make it. But once Pollard croons the chorus: "But a queen's prize awaits," complete with delicate backing vocals, there's a sense that even though it doesn't sound like the same band, there's something worthwhile going on. Thematically, Pollard is still on his old manic track, missing lost lovers and trying to his problems away. On the ;, mournful "How's My Drinking," ird tells it like it is, saying, "I 't care about being sober." For 'one who has witnessed one of Hard's concerts—which seem as uch chugging contests as live performances of music—it's no tiock that the man sings a lot about alcohol. While pre-Do the Collapse records moved with a sort of heaving, imprecise stagDrills' practiced pace almost makes Bob seem like he's been to AA. One listen to "Sister I Need Wine," an elegiac, pleading ballad tinged with man's usual struggle between stoicism and sensitivity, and you'll pray that Pollard never goes. Pollard's vocals are rich and sweet, and the simple riff behind him almost brings a tear to the eye. The same is true of the midtempo "Unspirited," where the band even goes so far as to bring strings into the mix. Pollard plays a sort of scapegoat figure in the song:*"When you lose it all," he sings, "You'll think of me / When you take the fall / you'll drink to me." Lest anyone be concerned for the man's sanity, the next track, "Glad Girls," uses classic Beatlesque melodies and poppy harmonies to make what might be described as an extremely wispy high-school rocker. So can GBV stand among—gasp —mainstream rock bands? Isolation Drills isn't perfect, but it still says, in the band's new tradition, "hell yeah."D

Ellen Zander Faran Krentcil Welcome to break-up season. Right now, things deteriorate—classes are winding down, people are packing up, everyone’s reserving space at Myrtle Beach, S.C. Suddenly, students are single again. The temptations ofhome, a year abroad, summer in the city—the future is slicing at us. When we get into the mindset of taking off, something scary happens: Things fall apart. Sometimes, this is a great way to drop dead weight and fly. We can ditch the friend-with-benefits, ignore the seven-night-stand or give up on crushes (yep, I did). But sometimes, parting ways isn’t a nice, clean break. For starters, there’s the whole process of giving back. Everything gets returned—his stuff, his friends, his secrets. The people you both pretend to like. The place on the back of his neck that turns red. How you give up a guy’s stuff can be the essential gesture. You can drop off stuff, make him come get it or go ahead and microwave his CDs. This last option comes with a caution sign. I know someone who poured wine on a sweatshirt before giving it

back. She said it was revenge, but really I think she needed to show him her pain, and she couldn’t think of a better way. Scorch marks on his new Chili Peppers album are a look-what-you-did-to-me. Way-harsh news flash; He already knows what he did to you; he was the one who did it. Give back gracefully and get on with life. Over cellular fuzz, a friend described the worst an incident involving a pair of navy sweats. It wasn’t so much the pants, she said. It was their smell—cigarettes, beer binges, pillows. Giving them back was like admitting the past six months were a borrowed life. After a nasty breakup, this girl was displaced. She was all dressed up in his sweatpants with nowhere to go. She could deal with losing her boyfriend. But without his friends, his schedule, his apartment.... She was lost. My mom always told me you can’t rely on a man. I always thought that was leftover ’7os-lib until my first breakup. Turns out, she was right. My fife disappeared. He was a part of me but not the other way around. I didn’t want to write about breakups near the end of the semester. But I realized I had no choice. We’re all growing new skins and shedding old spirits. We’re all breaking up with someone, even if it’s with our old selves. It’s easy to look back and say, “Omigosh, I can’t believe I ever dated him/wore that/thought so.” But you did, because at the time, that was what you needed. And you should never be afraid of what you need. We’re all going to make some bad calls. It’s part of why we’re here. Recovery means trusting the world enough to try again. Jonathan Larson wrote, “You’ll never share real love until you love yourself,” That means learning from mistakes. It also means trusting the world enough make some mistakes. So come on, I dare you. Screw up. Think from your heart; trust yourself enough to follow through. Admit something scary to yourself. Skydive. Get rejected. All ofthese little breakups, they’re just the extra grief chipping off of our souls. Life is carving us out; don’t fight it. Let life choose you. And please, give me back my sweatpants. —

I’ve seen things here that never happen in the United States. Being accustomed to American politics, I was surprised that the socialist Parisian mayor’s homosexuality was not an issue in the recent campaign. Completing my overall feeling of disbelief is the American in my dorm who went on a date with a nomad from Chad whom she met at the Buddhist Bar. I’m glad I came to Paris because my French has slowly but miraculously improved. When I first arrived I didn’t always get what I ordered and sales clerks corrected me when I got the gender of a word wrong. And then one day, I forgot to bring my tape recorder to economics class and realized that I didn’t need it anymore. Then I finally understood the dialogue of a French movie well enough to laugh. I don’t hesitate to ask questions or make phone calls anymore. Most of all, I love how I can talk to the Albanian and Japanese students in my dorm, even though we don’t know a word of each other’s native language. After three more months of this, I might not feel like a tourist anymore. Ellen Zander is a Trinity junior.

When Congress deals with parks... Guest commentary

Martin Nolan

Just 115 miles north of Tucson, Ariz., is a city where wildflowers and the saguaro cactus have become elusive. Phoenix, unlike its mythical namesake, is no longer a bird of paradise rising from the ashes. Arizona’s capital, which once had charm to spare, now staggers in the smog of an asphalt desert. Tucson, with one-fourth of the population of Phoenix, has so far escaped sprawl because of luck, topography and politics. Conservationists once relied on politics, on the logrolling and homebound bacon denounced by today’s “reformers.” To its east and west, Tucson faces Saguaro National Park, where cacti and wildflowers bloom among 71,000 acres. The average saguaro cactus can live to be 150 years old, can rise to a height of 50 feet and weigh 10 tons. Such statistics would not impress real estate developers, who would bulldoze these glories of nature as if they were dandelions. Instead of enjoying 150 miles of hiking trails, today’s Tucsonians might be encountering 150 miles offast-food joints. The park was created in the 19705; Tucson’s congressman was Morris Udall, a Democrat targeted for defeat by Republicans. To the rescue came his friend and colleague on the House Interior Committee, Rep. Phillip Burton. A San Franciscan, Burton was a devout city dweller and regarded the great outdoors as insufficiently supplied with Chesterfields and Stolichnya. But he knew how to legislate, and, in helping Udall, he pushed through Congress the largest parks bill in history—sl.4 billion for 150 projects in 200 congressional districts. Udall’s aide, Bob Neuman, called it the “park barrer bill. It added Dorchester Heights to the Boston Historical Park in Joe Moakley’s South Boston district and created the Gulf Islands National Seashore in the Mississippi district represented by Republican Trent Lott. The bill was 157 pages long, but whistled through the House Rules Committee in five minutes. “Notice how quiet we all are,” observed Lott, then a member of

the Rules Committee. “We’ve all got something in there.” The bill passed the House, 341-60, and also the Senate, where Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona did not object. The only thing Burton and Goldwater may have agreed on during the decades they served in Congress was their fondness for Mo Udall. The National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 gave Arizona three national historic monuments, named one national historic site, and designated two rivers wild and scenic. Tucson reelected Udall that year with 52 percent ofthe vote. Since then, federal policy has moved conservation back to the states. In the Mountain Time Zone, according to Mark Muro, “the West’s traditional mistrust of government and cult of private property rights seems destined to complicate future problemsolving.” A senior research analyst at The Morrison Institute for Public Policy at Arizona State University, Muro sees slow-growth measures “crushed at the ballot box” and worries that Arizona’s congressional delegation is not as effective and conservation-minded as it once was. Goldwater’s successor, Republican Sen. John McCain, is focusing on campaign finance laws, “and that’s taken the senior senator out of the funding battles,” Muro says. “He’s removed from any significant role

in open space programs or transit (Phoenix has approved a transit system). Western cities are shaped by topography and federal land ownership, but McCain seems to hate politics.” The unholy trinity of Burton, Goldwater and Udall may have seemed too political to those who disdain politics, but, says Muro, “in the new knowledge economy, environmentalism is the best way to achieve economic development, and saving large tracts of land is the way to do it. Retirees won’t come to Tucson or Phoenix if there’s too much pollution. Is the Arizona delegation going to deliver on protecting the Sonoran desert? Is John McCain going to be around for that?” Martin Nolan’s column is syndicated by The New York Times News Service.

Schweitzer Michigan State muscles way to Twin Cities named Kodak All American By NORMAN AREY Cox News Service

By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

One week after losing the final, heart-breaking game of her career, Georgia Schweitzer finally has something to cheer her up. The Duke senior was one of 10 players selected to the Kodak All-American team in a ceremony in St. Louis, site of this year’s women’s Final Four The award is all the more exciting, considering that she is only the second Blue Devil bestowed with such a high honor, the first being her former teammate, center Michelle Van Gorp, who was nominated in 1999. Chosen by the members of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, the Kodak All-Americans mark the who’s-who of women’s college basketball players. The list includes such notables as Tennessee’s Tameka Catchings, Notre Dame’s Ruth Riley, Georgia’s Kelly Miller, Louisiana State’s Marie Ferdinand, Purdue’s Katie Douglas, and Mississippi State’s LaToya Thomas. Schweitzer also joins Southwest Missouri State senior Jackie Stiles, who reins as the NCAA all-time leading scor-

er and as the assassin of Duke’s NCAA championship hopes last weekend. Stiles scored 41 points in her team’s 8171 defeat of Duke last weekend. However, the Blue Devil point guard boasts some significant accomplishments of her own, making inroads on

the record book in both offensive and defensive categories. Showing a rare versatility, Schweitzer became only the fifth player in ACC history to record 1,600 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists, and 170 steals. She was a star all of this season as well, averaging 14.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists in her 34 starts. Schweitzer’s is also likely to be chosen in the WBNA Draft on April 20.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. Is there really any reason to believe that this Michigan State team, minus Mateen Cleaves, Morris Peterson and A. J. Granger, can repeat as national champions? The answer is, absolutely. The Spartans, who beat Florida for the NCAA basketball title in 2000, lost 60 percent of their starting lineup to graduation. But, perhaps more importantly, Tom Izzo returned as coach. Izzo rejected a lucrative offer to coach the Atlanta Hawks, and his 2001 MSU crew has shown its appreciation by returning to the Final Four. The Spartans will face Arizona in the national semifinals tomorrow afternoon. In fact, the Spartans (28-4), from a winning percentage standpoint, actually have improved from last season (32-7). “I can’t say, like last year, that we were thinking about (returning to the Final Four) all year long,” Izzo said. “We’ve got a different team in a lot of wTays, and we kind of took things a day at a time and let them just happen. And then, you know, we started reassessing our goals at the end ofthe year, and nowT we are playing for it.” Izzo said the intensity of the Spartans’ pursuit of the Big Ten championship kept them occupied. “I think you always have dreams and goals, but we were in such a battle for the Big Ten championship, which is important to the seniors, we kind of focused on that all year,” said Izzo, whose senior class will graduate as the all-time winningest group in Big Ten history (115-24). “Once we got into the NCAA tournament, we just decided to try to take it weekend by weekend, and I guess after you win the first one, you can start looking at it.” If Michigan State has an Achilles’ heel this year, it’s perimeter shooting. The Spartans make only 33 percent of their 3-point shots. But they make 49 percent of their shots overall and are a tenacious rebounding team. State leads the nation in rebounding margin at plus-15.5 rebounds per game. The Spartans had more rebounds than they allowed opponents points in three games this season. They’re able to dominate the boards chiefly because of an athletic and bulky frontline, which includes 6-8, 240-pound forward Andre Hutson, 6-8, 255-pound forward Aloysius Anagonye, and 6-9, 270-pound freshman center Zach Randolph. Even leading scorer Jason Richardson, a 6-6 wing player, averages nearly six rebounds a game. “[Michigan State] is probably the most powerful, most physically gifted team we’ve played,” said Temple’s Ron Rollerson, after the Spartans beat the Owls in the South Regional championship game in Atlanta. “Duke was a little more skillful as far as they have better shooters and have a little better team chemistry. But as far as power or as far as rugged play, these guys are probably one of the best that I’ve ever seen.” Many feel the Spartans’ physical play gives them an advantage against Arizona, one of the least physical teams

TOM IZZO rejoices after Michigan State beat Temple last weekend. still standing. Despite adequate size, the Wildcats can be’ shoved around. Izzo’s not so sure. “Are we a little stronger? Well, [Richard] Jefferson looks pretty strong to me,” Izzo said of the Wildcats’ 6-7 forward. “If you give Jefferson an inch, he’s dunking on you. They definitely have an advantage over us with their perimeter shooting.” Michigan State is making its third Final Four appearance in a row. Izzo is not ready to proclaim his program in the same category as those at Kentucky, North Carolina and Duke, but the Spartans certainly have some storied NCAA history in their portfolio. Michigan State was involved in one of the most famous Final Fours, losing to eventual undefeated champion North Carolina, 74-70 in triple overtime, in 1957. After going back to the tournament in 1959, MSU didn’t make it again for 19 years. But the Spartans won it all in 1979 in another of the NCAA’s most storied finals as Magic Johnson out-dueled Indiana State’s Larry Bird to win the championship. Michigan State has been to the tournament 11 times since, but until last year, it had not added another title. Now it’s trying to become the first team since Duke in 1991 and ’92 to win two national championships in a row. At least one coach thinks the Spartans have a great shot at doing that.

“If there’s any guy who is going to do something like that, it will be a guy like Tom Izzo, especially in this day and age,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “You’ve got to be able to win big games. All of these games, every game in the NCAA Tournament is big. You know, over the last three years, he’s lost one, which is remarkable. I’m happy for him, because he’s one of the really good guys in coaching.”

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

What a war on the boards! Michigan State sends four or sometimes all five players to the glass, especially on the offensive end. Arizona must limit the Spartans to one shot per possession. Also, it needs a big game out of Woods, who should be able to have his way against the smaller MSU frontcourt.

Outside

To compete with the Spartans’ ability to get lots of second chance points, the Wildcats must shoot well from the perimeter. Gardner and Arenas, who were huge against Illinois, will give MSU’s guards their toughest test yet. Both teams like to run whenever possible, so ball control and transition defense will be important. Arizona gets quality minutes out of Luke Walton and Eugene Edgerson, but Michgan State’s bench play is critical for its success. Zach Randolph provides MSU with an added force inside and can take over the game at times. Fellow freshman Marcus Taylor helps Bell in running the offense and can hit the trifecta.

Intagibles

Michigan State has more experience than any other team remaining. Arizona is back in the Final Four for the first time since 1997, and Edgerson is the only member of that team remaining. But more importantly, Arizona has been playing with an added fire since the January death of coach Lute Olson’s wife Bobbi.

THE ROAD TO MINNEAPOLIS COMMENCES

Picking this game is as easy as deciding whether to pick heads or tails with your life on the line. The more we try to understand this matchup, the less we understand it. Both teams have out-rebounded their opponents by double-digits, both shoot the ball well and both like to run as much as possible. As usual, whomever wants it more will still be standing at the end. Arizona wins for Mrs. O 77-76 Compiled by Andrew Greenfield

At approximately 1 p.m. yesterday, senior forward Shane Battier and the rest of his Blue Devil teammates left Durham to begin their trek to the Twin Cities in quest of Duke’s third national championship in the past decade. The Blue Devils settled into their hotel in Minneapolis last night and will be holding practice and a news conference this afternoon.

FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 2001

ACC semifinalists take very different paths to Minneapolis boasting an even greater wingspan, Blake has egged his one-time roommate —they played on the U.S. junior national team together—into a personal showdown. The Maryland sophomore forced Williams into 10 turnovers during Duke’s overtime win at College Park. “For as good as Jason is, people forget he’s only a sophomore,” Shane Battier said. “He’s not infallible. He’s going to make mistakes and he’s going to have bad games. I told him if you’re just Jason Williams, then you’ll be the best point guard in the country.” Inside, while Carlos Boozer has proved himself against Dan Gadzuric of UCLA and USC’s Sam Clancy, Lonny Baxter has played a tremendous tournament, going 11-for-18 against Stanford. Virtually every ball he touched made its way to the net and the Cardinal found itself with no remedy for the Terrapins’ center. Coupled with Terrence Morris, the interior makes Maryland a dangerous team. And with its perimeter potential, that interior presence could make it the most versatile of the Final Four teams. Mike Montgomery, whose season was ended by the Terrapins, knows it all too well. “They played great,” the Stanford coach said. “They shot the ball well. Every time we made a play, they had an answer. Maryland disrupted our offense. We had

P- FOUR from page 1

And Maryland has the highest respect for Duke, too. “We respect Duke probably more than anybody else because we’ve played them three times,” Maryland coach Gary Williams said. “But at the same we know we can play with them.” In fact, after losing 84-82 in the ACC semifinals to Duke, the Maryland players told the Blue Devils to watch out for them in the Final Four. It did not look so good for Maryland in the first round, nearly folding in Boise to George Mason. The Terps won by three points and used the close call to motivate themselves for the rest of the tournament. Despite a showdown with former coach Lefty Driesell and a frisky Georgia State team, as well as a slugfest with cross-town rival Georgetown, the Terrapins finished the West Regional with a magnificent, momentum-building 87-73 thumping of Stanford. In the East, Duke had a calmer ride. Monmouth was never in question. Missouri had the offense to hang with the Blue Devils and UCLA had the defense, but neither had both components. USC did not have enough talent, but still managed to make it tight for a while also.

Duke-Maryland contests garner ‘lnstant Classic’ status

I* RIVALS from page 1

“I think it’s a great rivalry and it’s a rivalry that probably hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves the last few years,” Jason Williams said before leaving to play Maryland in the Final Four in Minneapolis, Minn. This season, Duke and Maryland garnered all kinds of attention after the first Instant Classic between the

two teams. For the first 39 minutes of action, it appeared as if nothing out of the ordinary was in store—just the second straight Terps’ triumph in the

regular-season series. But when Williams devastated Maryland fans with the most miraculous few-second stretches in recent college basketball history, a lawsuit-instigating melee erupted between the Terps’ faithful and the parents of Duke’s players. Even though the ensuing focus was directed more toward an investigation and chastising of Maryland than it was to the vintage matchup that had taken place, suddenly all eyes were on College Park, Md. Beyond the publicity lent to the injuries sustained by the mothers of Williams, Carlos Boozer and Chris Duhon, people started learned that the way these teams feel about each other falls a bit short of friendly competition. “It’s just sad. I don’t mind the cheers—Williams, you suck’ or whatever—but when it gets to physical violence, that’s not acceptable,” Duke’s point guard said. In the second episode of the Duke-Maryland saga, even the typically composed Mike Krzyzewski lost his cool. His halftime collision with Gary Williams demonstrated that the contempt of the once non-existent rivalry was no longer one-sided.lt was clear that for whatever reason—perhaps because of the mayhem in College Park or maybe to avenge their streak-snapping defeat ofa year prior—the Blue Devils had circled their home date with Maryland on their calendars. Still, for the second straight season, it was Gary Williams and the Terrapins who prevailed on national television in Cameron. Like the debacle in College Park, Maryland’s victory in Cameron pitted one basketball program against the opposition’s home fans. Terps forward Tahj Holden and Duke students exchanged a verbal volley and a series of shoves when

Maryland’s players tried to celebrate on Cameron’s

center court crest. “I don’t think there’s a lot oflove between us,” Shane Battier said. “That’s probably the best way to put it.” Of course, like with Duke and Carolina, there are exceptions to the rules. Despite the animosity held toward Maryland’s fans, some of the Blue Devils have been able to distance their feelings for their opponents from the violence of College Park. Williams even roomed last summer with Steve Blake, who played with Duke’s point guard on the United States junior national team. The two maintain they are friends off the court, but their feelings for each other have certainly not shown through on it. “When we play against each other, we just go at it,” Blake said. We don’t talk before the game, we don’t talk during the game.” After the semifinals of the ACC Championships, it became equally evident that the players do not talk much after the games. Blake and a few others did wish each other good luck in the NCAA tournament, parting ways by saying they would meet again in Minneapolis. But in a surprising occurrence that has been discussed a few times since Duke’s last-second triumph in Atlanta earlier this month, many of the players on each team did not shake the hands of their opponents when the final buzzer sounded. Krzyzewski downplayed what took place after Nate James stunned the Terps for the second time in a month-and-a-half on a buzzer-beating tap-in. “We all knew that game was a special basketball game,” Krzyzewski said. “When competitors know that, whether it be on the playground or in front of a national audience, when that game is over, you don’t need anybody to clap, you don’t need it to be written about, viewed or heard. You could sense that everyone felt that.”

Zero sleepers

By Paul Doran The Chronicle In order to be the best, you have to beat the best, or so the cliche goes. However, when push comes to shove, it is not often that the so-called “best” of the NCAA Final Four actually includes the best teams in the country. Fortunately or unfortunately, this year it does. Never before have the preseason pollsters been so dead-on for the top teams in the country. Consider the first Associated Press Poll of the year: No. 1 Arizona, No. 2 Duke, No. 3 Michigan State, No. 4 Stanford, No. 5 Maryland. There were no flukes, simply great teams the media

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

MICHIGAN STATE’S 2000 squad hoists its national championship trophy after defeating Florida. That Final Four boasted two No. 8 seeds and a No. 5 seed.

has followed and built up all year long. And now it all comes down to this. The best four teams in the country, duking it out for the national championship. Whoever wins this dogfight will truly be able to say they beat the cream of the crop en route to their 2001 title. “The Final Four should not be something where one team wins two games by a combined 60 points,” Duke forward Shane Battier said. “To be a national champion, you should beat the best so we look forward to that competition.” Battier is correct. No one will win these

games by more than a few points. All of the teams are great, and they are all playing out of their minds. Even the teams that were having problems at the beginning of the year are peaking at the right time. It is a dream Final Four for any fan outside of Chapel Hill. Even though it is not four No. 1 seeds, it is exactly what the selection committee dreams ofeach time they sit in the war room to draw out a possible bracket. In short, it may be the best Final Four ever. “I think all three teams have great athletes, have very good defensive teams, have very good quickness and it’s going to be a heck of a tournament,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “I think it’s going to be one of the better team tournaments here in recent years.” One thing that makes this Final Four so great is the teams in it. Although they have had their ups and downs, they are great programs, especially in the past few years. Together, they boast four of the last 10 national championships and have participated in six of the last 10 Final Fours. Three coaches have won national titles. Each program has a long, rich basketball tradition and is from a powerhouse conference. See

FINAL FOUR

STRONG FIELD from page 6 “It looks like anyone there has an outstanding chance to win the whole thing,” Arizona coach Lute Olsen said. “We would certainly would like to put ourselves in that group, as well.” Long gone is the Final Four of last year which saw two No. 8 seeds in North Carolina and Wisconsin. In the national championship game, No. 1 seed Michigan State battled past Florida, a No. 5 seed for the title. The 199 Final Four did have three No. 1 seeds, but it also contained a No. 4 in Ohio State. The year before that, it contained two No. 3 seeds and a No. 2 seed. Honestly, the selection committee did not do a terrible job any year but last year. The top seeds have always dominated the Final Four, and that is what exactly what they did last year—they dominated P-

weaker teams. What makes this year different and great is that there is no clear favorite. Throw seeding out the window now, it is anyone’s title to win or lose. “I think Maryland could beat Duke and Arizona could beat Michigan State and vice versa all the way around,” Izzo said. “I think it is a toss up in a lot of ways.” Izzo is correct; Betting big on one of these teams is like putting a million bucks on a coin flip. The bookies have no excuse for putting any of the spreads at more than two points. Even when the Final Four has consisted of three No. 1 seeds and a No. 2 seed, like in 1993, it was not as tight as this one. Back in those days, Michigan had its fab five, while the Tar Heels stood a few inches above everyone else. This year, Duke, the Vegas odds-on favorite, measures in slightly ahead of the biggest underdog, the Terps. The thing that makes this Final Four so unique is that if it was played 10 times, it is unlikely that any team would win more than three championships. That type of competition should be every NCAA fan’s dream. Four great programs. Three great games. One national champion to go down in history. Flip a coin, roll a set of dice, but get ready for the best Final Four ever. “You have great teams with great tradition here battling it out,” Duke freshman Chris Duhon said. “This could be one of the best Final Fours ever.”

Maryland Terrapins

Williams: Terrapins ‘not happy just getting to Final Four’ By Thomas Steinberger The Chronicle The Comeback. Ever since that surreal January night in College Park, when the hated Blue Devils overcame a double-digit deficit in the final minute to stun the Terrapins 98-96, Maryland has struggled to move the media’s focus onto anything else. Coach Gary Williams and his players could not hide their disbelief after the game, and their 1-4 performance over the next two weeks signaled to fans and the media that the loss may have broken the back of a Maryland team with a reputation for being mentally fragile. “[lt was] the worst loss I’ve ever been Mike associated with,” center

Mardesich said.

Although the players called it just one game and resolved to overcome it, Williams acknowledged the effect that the defeat had on his team’s mentality. “We did something that nobody else has done to Duke this year, which is get a 10-point lead and keep it for most of the game,” the coach said the week following the loss. “But then to lose that game at the end, that was a tremendous blow to us psychologically.” The ensuing skid was punctuated by a 74-71 embarrassment in College Park to lowly Florida State, a loss that had some alumni calling for Williams’ firing

and put Maryland in a position where even making the NCAA tournament was in jeopardy.

All this turmoil made it nothing short of remarkable to see the Terps blast No. 1 seed Stanford in Anaheim last weekend to reach their first Final Four. But for those who have followed Maryland since Williams’ arrival just over a decade ago, the fact that the notoriously fiery coach got his team to recover from its mid-season nightmare may not be so surprising. That is because Williams had a much bigger challenge to confront in 1989, when he arrived at a Maryland program facing NCAA sanctions for numerous rules violations. The sanctions, which banned Maryland from postseason play for two years and limited recruiting activities, threatened much more than an entire season. When the little-known Williams replaced Bob Wade as coach, he inherited a program that many in College Park sensed was headed for long-term mediocrity. At the time, the Terrapins revolved

around sharp-shooter Walt Williams,

who was building the type ofcareer that would lead to jersey retirement and an NBA future. With sanctions restricting See MARYLAND on page 11 �

the program’s growth, most figured the sophomore would transfer or turn professional. But the player nicknamed “the Wizard” pulled a magic act by remaining in College Park, and his choice proved critical in allowing Maryland to build toward the elite program it is today. “He could have gone to just about anywhere, [but] he stayed,” Williams said. “He helped us because he kept us where we could at least play with the good teams that we had to play against, and kept the crowd there, so we didn’t lose the crowd. And then four years later after we got better, we didn’t have to make that great leap in terms of getting our crowd back, and I think that was very important for us.” Indeed, Maryland has survived as a competitive program, though before last week, none of its teams had made it past the Sweet 16. But this year, with all five starters returning and being ranked as high as No. 3 in preseason polls, the Terrapins had the talent and balance to match anyone in the country. Regardless of this weekend’s result, Williams will not relax next year just because he reached Minneapolis this season. “It’s not automatic because you get there once,” he said of the Final Four berth. “I mean, we’ve all seen programs that get there before that don’t get back there. So that’s what we build toward.... We hope that we can use this as a foundation toward making the [Final Four] in the future.” Williams has maintained throughout his career that coaches should not be measured by the number of Final Fours reached or titles won, but by their teams’ performances over an entire season. Even after finally reaching college basketball’s ultimate weekend, Williams clearly has not let his sudden success go to his head. “I feel this is our first time, so it’s great for the school and all that,” he said. “But as a coach, you know, [your team has] played hard for three months, and it always will be a big thing for me just to make the NCAA tournament. I just think that sometimes there is too much emphasis on one game.”

Mi ch igan State Spartans

Defending cha mps hope to duplicate last year’s mag 1C By Kevin Lees The Chronicle Tom Izzo is not satisfied. As Michigan State’s coach, he sports a nice ring commemorating the Spartans’ national championship last season. He wants another one. “I’ve said to this team—as we’ve always talked a million times about setting something in the sand, and [back-to-back championships] would really do it,” Izzo said. But only Duke has done it in recent memory. Izzo knows it, and he also knows that going all the way this year would make him the Krzyzewski of the Midwest. “Winning four championships in the Big Ten is something. The home record and the senior class, all those things are impressive,” Izzo said. “But when you start winning back-to-back championships, if that were possible, that is about as elite as it gets.” Ironically, after losing Mateen Cleaves and Morris Peterson, no one thought that Izzo had an East Lansing snowball’s chance in hell of making it back to the Final Four. But as Krzyzewski has proven at Duke, the most elite programs do not take time offfor rebuilding. They just keep winning. Michigan State has, indeed, done —

a lot of winning this season. A chilling fact to remember: Last season, Izzo’s Spartans recorded seven losses. This season, they have only had four. After drubbing Florida 89-76 to win last year’s national championship, the Spartans opened the season on a 14-game winning streak. In that blitzkrieg, Michigan State beat

North Carolina 77-64, drubbbed

Florida again 99-83, escaped eventual SEC champion Kentucky 46-45 and overpowered an overrated Seton Hall squad 72-57. In fact, the Spartans are undefeated this season in non-conference games. Their only losses came at Indiana by one point, at Ohio State, at powerhouse Illinois and against Penn State in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. After their conference tourney defeat, the Spartans looked equally unimpressive to begin their firstround game of the NCAA tournament, leading 16th-seeded Alabama State only 29-25 at the half. Still, Michigan State rallied 40-10 in the second half. The Spartans ended up with more rebounds (48) than poor Alabama State had points (35). Michigan State destroyed Fresno State in the second round and pushed back frisky Cinderellas Gonzaga and Temple to take the South Regional. See MICHIGAN STATE on page 13 �

MICHIGAN STATE from page 12

All-American Charlie Bell, the last of the socalled “Flintstones,” commands the Spartans at

the point. “All in all, he’s probably the best defender I’ve played against all season,” Gonzaga star Dan Dickau said after losing to the Spartans in the Sweet 16. Bell joins sophomore Jason Richardson in the backcourt. Richardson, a first team All-Big Ten selection, leads the Spartans with 15 points per game. Together, the MSU. guards average 10.4 rebounds per game. “It’s not like we have any phenomenal rebounders that are better than somebody else,” Izzo said. “We rebound with five guys on the defensive end. Our guards get involved. I think we get a lot of loose rebounds and tipped rebounds. I don’t necessarily think we are any better or necessarily tougher than anyone else.” In the post, seniors Andre Hutson and Dave Thomas hit the glass even harder than their backcourt teammates. Hutson is responsible for most of the scoring in the frontcourt, averaging 13.6 points per game, and also leads the team with 7.7 rebounds per game. There have been, however, four different Spartans to lead their team in scoring during the NCAA tournament, demonstrating the difficulty teams have defending them. Michigan State’s trademark, though, has not been parity, but rather rebounding—the team ranks fifth nationally on the boards. The Spartans were outrebounded only once this season, by lowa (40-36), and that was a game Michigan State won quite handily. The Spartans’ average rebound margin is a whopping 15.7. In comparison to the other Final Four teams, Arizona comes the closest at 7.1. Maryland and Duke seem anemic on the boards comparatively, holding a 4.7 and 1.7 rebound margin, respectively. “I take a lot of pride in the rebounding,” Izzo said. “Sometimes I think we are just looked at as a team that rebounds.... I think we do some other things well. The rebounding stat has even been mind-boggling to me at times.”

Michigan State is looking to become the first team to win back-to-back titles since Duke did it in 1992. The Spartans are not flashy, but they rebound like no other team in the nation. MSU will continue to roll against any team that does not shoot well or allows its big man get in foul trouble. •

benched for six games by the NCAA for accepting money from a family friend.

To say it has been a turbulent year in Tucson would be the understatement of the century. Preseason hype surrounding the Arizona Wildcats was all the rage. They were picked to win the Pac-10 conference. The Associated Press ranked them No. 1 in the nation. Some even said that coach Lute Olson’s squad had the talent to become one of the best collegiate basketball teams ever. “We’ve got everything,” point guard Jason Gardner said. “We’ve got an inside game. We’ve got an outside game. We’ve got quickness. We’ve got strength. It’s going to be hard for anybody to match up with us.” Olson even liked this year’s squad more than his 1994-95 team that won the national championship against defending title holder Kentucky. “This one has fewer question marks than probably any team

Despite the loss of their center, however, the ’Cats kept rolling. They competed in the Maui Invitational, where they overcame Illinois in the finals to

phy. It looked like no team could

that we’ve had,” he said. The optimism was there, but somehow, things did not go exactly as planned. First was Loren Woods’ sus-

stop Arizona. Except for Purdue. Playing for the fourth time in six days, the Wildcats looked out-of-sync against the Boilermakers, losing 72-69 in the John Wooden Tradition Game. Three weeks later, the Wildcats had suffered consecutive losses to Connecticut and Illinois and had fallen to No. 10 in the polls. After another loss to Mississippi State Dec. 30, the Wildcats thought they had had hit rock bottom. But that was only the beginning of the adversity. On Jan. 1, only two days after the loss to Mississippi State, the world of Arizona athletics was rocked tjy the news that Bobbi Olson had died of ovarian cancer. Bobbi was more than simply the coach’s wife—she was an enthusiastic supporter of the en-

pension. The 7-foot-l senior was

Her death shook not only the players, who all wore black armbands in her honor, but also her husband, who took a four-game leave of absence to come to terms with his wife’s death. When the 28-year veteran returned to the bench Jan. 18—with a Wildcat victory over future Elite Eight qualifier Southern California—he found things slightly different than he had left them. The court was now known as “Lute and

Bobbi Olson Court,” and Bobbi’s seat had been left empty in remembrance. Things were also different from a basketball perspective; Arizona’s tumble from the top had continued as it found itself ranked 17th in the latest AP poll. But just when the season looked like an unavoidable disaster, Olson’s comeback changed everything. “It felt good to know he was here,” junior forward Michael Wright said after the USC game. “He is a great teacher. He makes you want to play harder when he is out there.” Olson’s return sparked an amazing turnaround for the Wildcats. Arizona has gone 16-2 since Jan. 18, including wins over UCLA and Stanford and a march to the Final Four that has taken the Midwest region’s No. 2 seed past Mississippi and top-seeded Illinois. Having reached the Final Four for only the fourth time in school history, the Wildcats find themselves pitted against Michigan State, a team that is playing in its third consecutive national semifinal Four. Although its task seems daunting, Arizona appears up to the task. “I love a challenge like this, playing a big team,” Wright said. “This is like Chicago ball, and I grew up watching the Big Ten.” The ’Cats have been through a lot this season, and now the rollercoaster ride comes to its conclusion. While the journey may have taken its toll on most people, Gardner, only a sophomore, can easily put it all in perspective. “There are always ups and downs, but we just stay focused and keep positive.”

Weaknesses:

to win:

Arizona was thought to be unbeatable in the

preseason and one clear reason for that is experience. The Cats are not a young team and fifth-year veterans Loren Woods and Eugene Edgerson could be decisive in winning Arizona’s second national championship.

Woods has been the biggest question mark this season. Sometimes he is an inside force while other times he does not even show up. If Woods does not perform, Michigan State will hammer the Cats on the boards. •
