THE INDEPENDENT DAILY AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT hopes that the Florida State football game will bring out the fans. In 1999, the University moved the game to Jacksonville, Fla., partly for recruiting reasons.

Alieva said he has the same worries this year.

As Bobby Bowden, now 25 years enmeshed in Seminole folklore, stands perched above the Florida State practice field on his custombuilt shaded tower, he does not see the same players that hoisted his team on their shoulders to the national championship game last season.

Departed are a Heisman trophy winner, a four-year starting tailback and 12 other starters that had brought so much success to his storied program.

Arriving is a starting redshirt freshman quarterback, a backup true freshman quarterback, a receiving core devoid of explosiveness and seven new defensive starters who can only hope to recreate the success that their predecessors enjoyed.

Pundits and oddsmakers, sniffing weakness in arguably the most dominant program in college athletics over the last decade, have been feasting on all ofthe question marks swirling around Tallahassee this summer. They foresee a non-alliance bowl in the Seminoles’ future, along with a fall from the apex ofthe ACC, on which they have firmly entrenched themselves since joining the conference nine years ago.

ATWOOD Bf MATT Hie Chronicle

'The state House of Representatives gave final approval Thursday to a $391 million tax package, but the measure may have a hard time winning passage in the Senate where leaders favor a steeper sales tax hike.

The House plan, which was approved 63-56 with mostly Democratic support, calls for the state to end payments of $333 million in reimbursements to the state’s counties. In compensation, it would give each individual county permission to increase the local sales tax by half a cent.

The plan would increase a few other taxes, including income tax for couples earning over $200,000 annually, which would go up by half a percent, but only for the next three years.

The bill would also provide some tax relief, raising the child credit and the standard deduction for married couples.

Clair hopes BSA will pursue active role UJB revises ajudication process

By MATT BRADLEY The Chronicle

Junior Troy Clair does not walk through the Gothic Wonderland hunched over with a pained look on his face. His shoulders are not bruised, and his back does not creak when he walks.

In fact, he looks like a pretty healthy guy—for someone who’s carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

But Clair’s ability to sleep well at night is not the only thing that he has going for him. As president of the Black Student Alliance, Clair has taken the reigns of the largest cultural group on campus. Last year the group stood at the forefront of the David Horowitz controversy as the visible partner of the Duke Student Movement, the protest organization formed to advance the interests of minority students.

So how does this proverbial Atlas keep from shrugging? Planning, planning and more planning. “I think the challenges that we face are the challenges that you see in any large organization,” said Clair.

“We have to make sure that we have clear lines of communication and that we’re doing the best outreach and the best connecting with the community.”

In some cases, accused students will no longer have the right to a hearing before the Undergraduate Judicial Board.

BY DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

In an effort to improve and streamline the undergraduate judicial system, administrators have recently revised the process for adjudicating charges against students. The change, however, may reduce student input in

judicial proceedings.

The process for investigating and prosecuting accused violators was reconsidered last spring partly to eliminate the right ofthe accused to request

*

a hearing before the Undergraduate Judicial Board. Instead, all cases—unless they involve the possibility for expulsion, suspension or living group dissolution—are heard by a judicial affairs dean.

Kacie Wallace, associate dean for judicial affairs, said the change would not significantly affect judicial sanctions.

“In the past the code was worded so that typically minor cases would be administered through a hearing with a dean, although [students] had the right to a hearing before a judicial board,” she said. “Most often students wanted the administrative hearing, and what we’ve done this year is that most cases will go before a dean.”

Of the 401 judicial cases last year, about 90 percent went before a dean, Wallace said. She added that of the 26 cases that were appealed, about 90 percent originated from judicial hearings, suggesting that students are more satisfied with deans’ hearings.

At the appellate level, students still See

Faculty salaries climb nationally Last year’s rise in pay for professors mirrored the national average and barely beat the national inflation rate of 3.4 percent. Technically skilled workers are still high in demand. >

STUDENTS AND ADMINISTRATORS want to make sure these clothes in the Duke Store were not made using sweatshop labor. They hope the Fair Labor Association will be able to effectively monitor factories.

Sweatshop fighters go full time Duke still skeptical of group’s effectiveness

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Four years after the issue of sweatshop labor flared up on college campuses, a factory-monitoring organization established by activists, universities and licensing companies began its work full time earlier this month. Not all activists support the Fair Labor Association, however, and even Duke officials express skepticism over its potential effectiveness.

Since its 1999 inception, the FLA has worked to de-

velop a system of monitoring that the human rights of factory workers who make university clothing are respected. Nationwide, 160 universities have joined the partnership and committed to license only to corporations that comply with the FLA’s Workplace Code of Conduct. Meanwhile, almost 1,000 companies have applied to be listed as compliant.

“None of us want to hold up one organization as ‘the’ organization for inspections,” said Jim Wilkerson, See SWEATSHOPS on page 9 &

Professors at Duke, along with most faculty throughout the nation, experienced a salary increase in the 2000-2001 academic year. Salaries increased by a national average of 3.5, which just bested the national inflation rate of 3.4 percent.

James Roberts, vice provost for finance and administration, said each school faces different pay issues and must respond accordingly. “Salary levels and competitive pressures can vary significantly across the diverse academic fields at Duke,” he said.

Professors at the law and medical schools receive higher salaries than many undergraduate faculty members. John Payne, deputy dean at the Fuqua School of Business, said the demand is greater for professional school faculty. He added that there are greater opportunities for professional school faculty to teach executive programs and conduct research in their fields.

The immediate need for faculty members in technology, business and engineering also accounts for the higher salaries of undergraduate professors in these fields. Peter Malin, an associate professor in geology and civil engineering, said individuals who graduate with strong technical backgrounds are more highly valued than those with degrees in the liberal arts.

Malin foresees the demand for those areas continuing despite the economic downturn, stressing that the need for graduates in those fields is driven by capitalism.

Both Payne and Malin said the typical pay raise for faculty each year is about 3 percent.

Local physicians provide free health care. The children receive general pediatric exams, vision care, and dental care.

“Basically we become their medical home while they’re here in the United States,” said Dr. Sharon Foster of Raleigh Pediatrics. “They come in pale and leave tan and healthy.”

Dr. Douglas Holmes, an ear, nose and throat specialist who donates his services, recalled walking into church and seeing one of his former Belorussian patients. She immediately gave him a large smile.

“It made every effort that I’ve done really count,” he said. “You know you are making a difference in the world.”

For every four to six weeks that the children spend away from the radioactivity of their homes, Dr. Foster said, they gain two to three years of life. In addition to the physical care they receive, the children have an opportunity to heal emotionally.

“The kids we get are usually gracious,” Pinter said.“They are thankful for our help and go away with a better understanding that there are people out there who care.”

But the program does not only benefit the children; often families walk away with unparalleled, positive experiences.“Most families involved actually have gotten more out of the program [than the kids do],” Pinter said. “Our families come away understanding just how lucky we are.”

Because the children generally speak no English, the families are given a Russian phrase book. In addition, there are two translators, who can be reached by beeper or cell phone in case of emergency.

But on the whole they communicate with simple hand motions and sign language. “The kids just didn’t seem to care and within ten minutes were playing like usual,” Little said.

“They spoke in a universal kid language and nothing else seemed to matter.” '

New civil engineering chair hopes to boost ranking

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

-

I

For Roni Avissar, civil engineering is not just about building roads and bridges.

It is also about building a helipad.

Avissar, the new chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, has big plans for the next five years. He begins his term Sept. 1, after leaving Rutgers University over the summer.

Those plans include providing a helicopter for undergraduates, graduate students and faculty members who wish to observe the atmosphere. Avissar has already acquired the money to buy the helicopter. Once the Department of Defense approves his plan, he hopes to start building a helipad within six months. “It’s going to be an attraction on campus,” he said.

In addition to buying a helicopter, Avissar has several other ambitious goals for the department. He said the faculty is already strong and promising, but he still hopes to establish an international reputation for the department.

“The department, right now, is what I’ll call in the development phase,” he said.

One of the largest obstacles is the department’s size. With only 14 senior faculty members, it pales in comparison to the 50-plus faculty members at universities like North Carolina State University and other large public schools.

“Any time a department’s larger, you’ve got the opportunity for more breadth,” said Downey Brill, director of civil engineering at N.C. State.

Although the long-term plan for the Pratt School of Engineering calls for

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

RONIAVISSAR, the new head of the civil and environmental engineering department, used a helicopter at Rutgers University. He plans to buy another and install a helipad when he starts his tenure at Duke Sept. 1. Avissar plans to use the helicopter to observe the atmosphere. adding six to 10 faculty members to the department, Duke’s civil engineering faculty will always be lean.

Kristina Johnson, dean of the Pratt School of Engineering, said that developing a new curriculum, along with recruiting faculty, is a top priority for the school this year. Pratt’s four departments have all recently added new chairs or are now searching for one.

Johnson said the large turnover was due to timing, noting that many previous chairs had served as many as four terms.

“It’s just a long time to be serving in a position,” Johnson said. “It’s a tough job.”

She noted that with the groundbreaking of the new engineering building, scheduled to take place this fall, all departments—including civil and environmental engineering—will have more space for research.

Avissar said he will focus on creating technology to solve environmental problems. The environmental engineering program ranked 18th in the nation last year, according to U.S. News and World

Report. Avissar, whose research at Rutgers focused mainly on the environment, and specifically rainforests, hopes the department will focus on developing technologies to monitor the atmosphere,

the ocean and soil.

He said he wants to dispel the misconception that civil engineering is mundane—building roads and bridges—in part by using scaling technology to create environmental models and study the effects of certain phenomena, such as globed warming.

End-of-course test scores rise among N.C. students From staff and wire reports The number of high school students in Durham Public Schools who passed their end-of-course tests increased overall for the fourth year in a row, according to figures released Wednesday.

In nine of 10 subjects tested, the percentage of high school students scoring at or above grade level on the tests went up.

The most marked 'VT \[ 17\\jq of these increases 1 1 1 1 £j W came in Algebra I T)r»TT7T?c and 11, with a PKmFfr 14.6 percentage point increase in the number of students performing at grade level. For example, 68.8 percent passed the Algebra I test this year, compared to 54.2 last year. Only Physics scores showed a decrease, from 78.6 to 72.1 percent.

•

Also Wednesday, the school system released data showing that the achievement gap between black and white students is narrowing for Durham’s third- through eighthgraders. Over a four-year period, the number of black students in those grades scoring at or above grade level increased from 49.1 percent to 61.5.

For white students, the number increased to 90 percent this year, from 86.2 in 1997.

For Latino students, however, the number decreased to 59.5 percent this year from 64.3 last year—but that still represents an overall increase from 50 percent in 1997.

But the school system also released figures Tuesday that show a 2-point dip in the average SAT score of high school seniors in Durham last year.

That puts the typical Durham student’s score at 992, which is also the statewide average for North Carolina.

But the national average last year was 1020; North Carolina ranked 47th in the nation.

Durham’s two-point drop in average score is partly attributable to an increase in the number of students who took the SAT—76.B percent, more than any other large school system in the state—said DPS spokesperson Nancy Hester. passes patients’ rights bill A proposal allowing patients to sue insurers who refused to pay for necessary medical coverage passed the state

House

of Representatives almost unanimously Wednesday.

The House approved the patients’ rights measure in a 114-1 vote.

The bill would also establish an independent panel to review decisions by insurers and managed-care companies that deny medical coverage to their House

customers.

The panel’s decisions would be binding, and appeals would have to be exhausted before a lawsuit is filed. However, an expedited review would be allowed if a person’s life or health were in jeopardy.

Gov. Mike Easley praised the House for approving the bill.

“I look forward to signing a bill that gives patients the protections they deserve,” Easley said. “I commend both the House and Senate for their leadership and making it clear that North

State executes Frye The state of North Carolina early this morning put to death a convicted murderer who was abused as a child and represented by a lawyer who drank heavily during his trial.

Ronald Wayne Frye, who was 42, was executed at 2:15 a.m. for stabbing his 70-year-old landlord, Ralph Childress, to death in 1993, then stealing $5,000 from him and spending it on drugs.

Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected its second appeal from Frye and refused to grant a stay of his execution, and Gov. Mike Easley denied his request for clemency.

In both the appeal to the court and the request to the governor, Frye’s attorneys had argued that there was new evidence suggesting that Frye had been unfairly represented during his murder trial. Tom Portwood, the lawyer who handled Frye’s sentencing phase, has admitted that he drank heavily during the trial.

Frye’s current attorneys said Portwood’s drinking had affected his ability to represent his client. Specifically, they contended that he had failed to produce enough evidence that as a

Poor economic news leaves Dow Jones under 10,000 Bv LISA SINGHANIA The Associated Press

The Dow Jones industrials closed NEW YORK below 10,000 for the first time in more than four months Thursday after the latest installment of bad economic and corporate news—a report of weak consumer spending in July and a revenue warning from Sun Microsystems.

The plunge, which marked the fourth straight decline for the market, came a day after news that the second-quarter gross domestic product was at its weakest level in eight years. Analysts said investors, already disheartened by the market’s previous selloffs, are refiising to buy when the prospects for a recovery are so bleak.

“We’ve broken through some important psychological levels on the Dow by going below 10,000, and tech stocks are getting whacked,” said Bryan Piskorowski, market commentator at Prudential Securities. “There’s

OIT Residential Services Pricing and Programming Changes A recent review of OIT s income and expenses revealed that many services, including cable TV, have historically been subsidized, prompting several changes. In order to bring prices in line with costs and to ensure that the costs of services are charged to the users of those services, the Executive Vice President launched an initiative to restructure the OIT budget and associated funding models. As a result of that effort, OIT needs to adjust prices to ensure that each of our services is fully self-supporting. Therefore, OIT is making the following changes to residential service offerings: Changes as of August 1: Domestic long distance rates have been reduced from $.lO to $.07 per minute.

The DTV Movie Channel (a very expensive channel to provide) has been eliminated from the DTV line-up to minimize price increases.

•

•

Changes as of September 1: Sci-Fi will move from a premium channel to DevilVision (DTV’s enhanced basic service).

HBO will move from DevilVision to Premium Package A. Premium Package A will contain HBO, HBO Signature and Comcast SportsNet (formerly known as Home Team Sports) ($4O).

Premium Package B will contain Showtime, Showtime Extreme and Comcast SportsNet ($4O).

Premium Package C will contain Cinemax, HBO, HBO Signature, Showtime, Showtime Extreme and Comcast SportsNet ($45).

Fifteen new channels, including Lifetime, Galavision, and American Movie Classics, will be added to DevilVision ($3O). NOTE: In •

order to allow for the additional channels, OIT will change the existing channel order, thus requiring users to reprogram their television sets and remote controls. Please plan to do this after 8 am on September 1.

The DTV system will be converted to a digital system for over 30 of the channels.

Tri-Wide calls (calls to Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Cary, etc.) will be included in local service at no additional per minute charge, although a student authorization code (SAC) may continue to be required for a few weeks in order to place these calls.

With these changes, our services better align with market offerings at very competitive market rates. For example, the Triangle’s primary cable TV provider’s least expensive package with HBO is $33.86 (compared to DTV’s Premium Package A @ $4O). Also, OIT will continue to offer free cable TV hook-up, a savings of approximately $24 compared to off-campus services. For more information and a complete channel line-up, please visit the DTV web site at dtv.oit.duke.edu/ newlineup.htm.

NOTE: Due to a last minute programming change, TV Land will replace Much Music on channel 30.

Students push Duke to join different organization P SWEATSHOPS from page 4

director of licensing for Duke and one of the initial FLA organizers. “Based on their performance we may develop more confidence over time. We have confidence, but the work has not been proven in the field.”

That proof may come soon as monitors’ reports are returned to the FLA, but some activists have long since dismissed the organization as cooperating too closely with corporations. About half of the FLA’s Board of Directors are representatives from corporations, while the other half come from non-govemmental organizations and universities.

“Basically the FLA was formed and is dominated by corporate interests,” said senior Jonathan Harris. “You’ve got a situation where the fox is guarding the chicken coop and you’ve got to question the effectiveness.”

To be deemed compliant with the code of conduct, corporations must allow a range of inspections and disclose all locations of their factories. Such requirements

have long been the goal of anti-sweatshop activists, but the details of the agreement worry them. For example, the corporations choose which factories can be inspected from a FLA-approved list of “at-risk” factories.

FLA advocates say close cooperation with companies is necessary if they are to comply voluntarily with the code of conduct, arguing that the forces of economic competition require their input.

“I think we’re doing a fine job. My view is that the problem is very large, and this is not a problem that is going to change overnight,” said Ann Pincus, an FLA

spokesperson.

FLA approves factory monitors based on their background in labor and health issues.

The process for monitoring is not the only issue facing the FLA. A rival inspection group, the Worker Rights Consortium, has more support from non-business, non-govemmental organizations, such as labor unions. Unlike the FLA, the WRC attempts to visit fac-

Tories individually rather than work with companies.

Both the FLA and the WRC use announced and unannounced inspections.

“Almost all of these factories are producing products for up to 20 different companies at once,” Harris said.

“If Nike has something being produced there with sweatshop labor, then chances are Adidas has something there too.”

Such factors may complicate hopes that companies report each others’ attempts to use sweatshop labor.

The choice between the FLA and the WRC was made early in the campus discussion on sweatshops, and administrators are reluctant to abandon a program that required so much time to establish.

“We went with the FLA because we think it has a better chance of dealing with the issues,” said Tallman Trask, executive vice president at Duke. “There are a lot of competing interests here, and we hope they’ll be effective. If not we’ll try something else.”

Court decides in favor of Florida �

ADOPTION from page 2

However, he said, “given there is no fundamental right to adopt or be adopted, there can be no fundamental right to apply for adoption.”

Casey Walker, an attorney who represented the state of Florida in the case, said the right to decide whether homosexuals should be allowed to adopt be-

longs to state lawmakers.

“The law is perfectly constitutional as a legislative policy choice,” Walker said.

A spokesperson for Republican Gov. Jeb Bush said he supports the ruling.

Florida officials have displayed little enthusiasm for the adoption ban. The Department of Children and Families, for example, takes no public position on the measure.

Plaintiffs’ lawyer Elizabeth Schwartz called the law “blatantly homophobic.”

Lisa Bennett, who tracks gay-related family issues for the Washington-based Human Rights Campaign, said numerous studies have shown that adopted children raised by gays are just as likely to become happy and healthy adults as those raised by heterosexuals.

“This was a decision based on prejudice, not facts,” she said.

The Rev. Louis Sheldon, chair of the Traditional Values Coalition, applauded the ruling, saying, “A child is best brought up in a two-parent family consisting of a man and a woman.”

“We cannot risk creating a nation of sexually confused children by experimenting with homosexual adoptions or homosexual marriages,” he said.

The state had argued that it is in a child’s best interest to be raised in home with a married mother and father.

The judge noted that state officials consider families with a mother and a father to be important for a child’s well-rounded growth and development. He also said primary consideration is given to couples who have been married a “sufficient length of time.”

The judge did discount the state’s argument that the ban is legitimate because it reflects the state’s disapproval of homosexuality. “The court cannot accept that moral disapproval of homosexuals or homosexuality serves a legitimate state interest,” he wrote.

Opponents have little hope that the Legislature will revoke the ban.

“The Legislature could remedy this the first day they meet in the next session, but given the level of hostility toward gay people by members of our Legislature, I frankly don’t expect that,” said Howard Simon, executive director ofthe American Civil Liberties Union of Florida.

Milosevic to U.N. court: ‘You Hopes for cease-fire remain are keeping me in isolation’ alive, but clouded in fighting MILOSEVIC from page 2 more respectful than at his first appearance in July when he told the judge, “That’s your problem” when asked if he wanted the indictment read in court.

Judge May gave Milosevic more freedom to speak than before, but shut down Milosevic’s microphone when the defendant went off into tangents.

“We are not going to listen to these po-

¥

litical arguments,” he said.

May reminded Milosevic he will be granted the right to confidentiality with attorneys if he appoints formal representation. He agreed to “look into the matters” of detention raised by the former president.

Milosevic stuck to his lone defense approach and refused to appoint an

attorney.

The three-judge panel appointed a “friend of the court” to ensure Milosevic’s legal rights are protected.

But it turned down a request by the prosecution to appoint a defense attorney, saying it was Milosevic’s right to defend himself.

May said the appointed lawyer would help prepare pretrial motions, cross-examine witnesses and make objections on Milosevic’s behalf.

In the former Yugoslavia this week, investigators revealed at least four common burial sites across Serbia—graves that contain the tangled remains of at least 800 victims of a brutal 1998-99 crackdown on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.

May set a rough timetable for the Kosovo trial, saying an official trial date will be set within the first two months of next year.

A final pretrial hearing was scheduled for Jan. 9, 2002, but the date

could be altered depending on the progress of pretrial preparations. The next status hearing will be Oct. 29.

Milosevic protested that he was

barred from speaking to the media.

Last week he was warned he could lose prison privileges after he telephoned a U.S. television network to be interviewed.

“Why I am isolated from the press... when every single day there is something printed or broadcast against me as a pure lie? So, you are keeping me in isolation,” He added: “If there is on one side all that machinery you represent, all that secret services, military machinery, media machinery and everything else, and on my side is only the truth, then it is clear it is completely discriminatory. You cannot even mention evenhandedness.”

May told him media interviews were against prison rules, which applied to all 46 suspects at the U.N. detention unit in Scheveningen, outside The Hague.

In Belgrade, Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic said that more Serbian suspects would be extradited to the U.N. war crimes tribunal, but he suggested that some of them could be tried in Serbia.

But Easley denied clemency to Frye, arguing that nevertheless, there was “absolutely no doubt” that Frye killed Childress.

“While I recognize that there is a question about the effectiveness at trial of one of the two defense attorneys, state and federal courts have carefully reviewed and unanimously rejected this claim,” Easley said in a statement.

State, Census Bureau defend seat

Officials for both North Carolina and the U.S, Census Bureau argued Wednesday that the census method used in 2000 was fair, in an attempt to rebuff a challenge by the state of Utah that could cost North Carolina one of its seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The current census method—which has been in use since 1960—includes some degree of guesswork: Rather than counting every person, census takers get the count ofthe number of people in a household from a single member ofthat household, or a neighbor. Sometimes, if a household does not return a census form, the bureau will estimate the number of people by the number of people in similar households nearby.

Utah claims such guesswork contradicts the U.S. Constitution, which calls for an “actual enumeration” of state populations every 10 years. But James Smith, a North Carolina deputy attorney general, said, “That meaning is not as clear as [Utah] suggests.”

Smith argued that no census could achieve a perfect head count, and that any method would need to use some degree of guesswork.

Annual salary changes at Duke are determined by Provost Peter Lange and the individual schools’ deans.

Duke evaluates its faculty members each year based on criteria such as research productivity, quality of teaching and overall contribution to the University.

Performance assessments conducted by department chairs and deans are reviewed by the Provost at each school’s annual budget meeting. Ralph Snyderman, chancellor for health affairs, similarly manages the medical and nursing schools.

“The Provost works closely with each of the deans each year to plan the compensation strategy appropriate to each school, taking into account the competitive environment, resources and university salary policy for nonfaculty employees,” Roberts said. “Obviously, offering a competitive salary is important in recruiting and retention. Generally speaking, Duke’s position is strong.”

Roberts said Duke aims to be market-competitive

in comparison to peer universities with faculty pay. He said the University strives to attract and retain outstanding faculty members in each school and program.

William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences added that Duke is usually in the middle of the nation’s top ten universities with regard to salary—analogous to its position in other categories, such as retention.

Chafe said salary is relevant, but not usually the deciding factor, when faculty members consider coming to the University. He noted that Duke’s geographic location may also be a significant element in salary disparities with other universities. “$50,000 in Durham could be equivalent to $30,000 in San Fran-

cisco,” Chafe said.

He said other motives for professors’ decisions may include quality of the academic community, research support and availability of colleagues in the same field.

Effects of judicial changes unclear � UJB from page 3

have the right to a board hearing, although appeals must deal with a specific aspect of the sanction or original hearing. Appeals cannot be a re-hearing.

For other hearings, however, administrators said the UJB has often been too inefficient and not focused on the accountability and expectations of students.

“At times a board hearing can focus a lot more on evidentiary items, but by the very nature of how it’s set up, it often tends to be more confrontational,” said Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs.

“Many times there’s no dispute that a violation occurred and a student finds himself defending what he or she did, where for [students] it’s much more educational for it to be more of a conversation, she said.

Deans may not always fully understand students’ points of view, however, and may offer harsher sanc”

tions than those from the UJB, said junior Josh JeanBaptiste, Duke Student Government vice president for

student affairs.

“One of the purposes ofthe UJB was for students to have insight on the judicial process, and although some issues that go straight to the deans are minor, it’s kind of contradictory to the initial intent,” he said.

Whether the change will make a difference for students’ sanctions is unclear. Wallace acknowledged that some deans may have different perspectives, but she said that all ofthem are made aware of the appropriate general response to an incident.

“Because we take the time to address each case individually, cases may differ in their results,” Wallace said. “I wish I could identify students who have gone through the process and have been satisfied, but you don’t hear from those people. You hear from the ones who are upset.”

We need to ask your help by moving all cars from the Blue Zone (All 7 parking lots on Wannamaker Drive between Towerview and Duke University Road) for this Saturday's football game. Cars MUST be removed by 2:OOAM Saturday, September 1 and may be returned to the lots after 10:00PM on Saturday.

He added that Saturday will be “Duke University Day,” meaning employees will receive specially priced tickets.

Hart said that Wake Forest University and the University of Maryland have also moved their home matches with Florida State to Florida. Florida State is currently 70-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and has never lost a conference game in their home state since they joined the league in 1991.

“Naturally, I would like for all our opponents to play their home games [in Florida],” coach Bobby Bowden said in 1999. ’’We’re not interested in moving our home games... but I wish everybody else would.”

State Senate not likely to approve House budget bill SALES TAX from page 1 The Senate leadership, however, favors a different plan that would raise the sales tax by a full cent.

Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston and co-chair of the Senate Finance Committee, said he expects the Senate will make significant changes to the House’s bill. “I just don’t think we can concede to that,” he said.

Senate Majority Leader Marc Basnight, D-Dare, has said he does not want North Carolina to be the only state to raise income taxes this year.

But even if the bill is unlikely to survive the Senate unchanged, the House’s passage of it was still productive, said Rep. Paul Luebke, D-Durham.

“I think that the current bill moves the revenue debate in a progressive direction,” he said.“What I’m hoping is that [the Senate] will realize that some element of our package, such as an income tax increase on the wealthy, [is necessary to balance the budget].

“I think that if the Senate is willing to offer a compromise that moves in our direction, then I think a set&

tlement on the revenue bi11... will not take a long time,” Luebke added.

But if the two houses stick to their positions, the state could be kept waiting for some time.

“Let’s gird for a long battle,” said Rep. Mickey Michaux, D-Durham.

The House’s Democratic leadership tried earlier this week to pass a plan that more closely resembled the Senate’s, including a full one-cent sales tax hike.

But in the House, where Democrats hold a slim 6258 majority compared to the 35-15 margin in the Senate, the leaders may not be able to find enough support to pass that proposal. Eight Democrats—including Michaux—held out for the smaller increase.

Most Republicans oppose both plans, arguing in favor of spending cuts instead.

“No sir, I can’t support a tax increase, because I think we can do it without that,” said Rep. Russell Capps, R-Wake. “You may wish you had a lot more money next year, and you may need that money. But

that doesn’t mean your boss has got to come give it to you. So we’ve got to live within our means.”

Rep. Monroe Buchanan, R-Mitchell, joined all 62 Democrats in voting for the bill passed by the House.

In addition to the sales and income tax hikes, the bill includes a net increase of 3 percent on the liquor tax and imposes a 1 percent premiums tax on HMOs. On the tax credit side, it would increase—over the next two years—the standard deduction for married couples from $5,000 to $6,000, and the child credit from $6O to $lOO. And beginning next year, the state would offer a three-day sales tax holiday in August.

But one tax credit that did not make the bill—though it had been in an earlier version—was an earned income tax credit that would benefit lower-income taxpayers.

Luebke suggested that that provision might be included in the final bill if the House and Senate reach a compromise.

Calling All Cleos I wanted to know what the future holds for me. I made the mistake of asking Miss Cleo.

I didn't care if my woman be cheatin', or if there's a mysterious stranger in my life. I just wanted to know what's in store, and where Cleo gets her Tarot cards, accent and clothing—does gypsy garb come with the contract? Thirty dollars for 30 minutes—how could I go wrong?

But when I called, instead of Miss Cleo, Todd, an aspiring Californian clairvoyant, took my call and dealt the deck. Todd's psychic credentials need some checking. He told me I have trouble expressing anger, smoke cigarettes and that my current girlfriend had a lump in her breast. Zero for three.

I told Todd he was mistaken. He seemed perplexed, and then told me that I might be able to express anger, but I can't express sadness, am trying to quit smoking and that my first born son is going to have a myolin deficiency problem. I hung up. Todd wasn't doing it for me, and frankly his fixation on cancer and disease had me a bit spooked. Cleo gives relationship advice and musters an ounce of compassion for her TV audiences; Todd was speaking with all the warmth of a mortician who'd seen Silence of the Lambs one time too many.

So I called back, in hope o, elusive Miss Cleo. But instea prompted to log in to the sef was met by a cheery, five-mi advertisement. Couldn't they was already a subscriber?

This course will offer a critical introduction to the chief positions and controversies of existentialism, and particularly to the following issues: (a) is existentialism an amoral subjectivism? (b)can we describe the human in the same way we define an article of manufacture? (c) how and why should we take atheism seriously? (d) humans finitude and its relation to nothingness; (e) in which sense should philosophy seek and define the human? All readings will be in English, but the instructor will be referring to the Desani book on introduction to phenomenology.

Striking Out Jay and Silent Bob are at it again, but you may not be in on the joke.

ON MUTE: Smith (Bob, left) and Mewes (Jay) are suddenly speechless.

The

first 10 minutes of Kevin Smith's newest film, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, epitomize why the last of the writer-director-actor's "View Askew" or "New Jersey" films is both so good and yet so frustrating.

It's the mid-1970s and slacker-stoners Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith) are sitting in their baby carriages outside a convenience store.

Hanging on the side of the store is a large white sign that reads "I Assure You We're Open," and the first word out of little Jay's mouth

By Alex is "f—." Five minutes later, Jay and Silent Bob, suddenly all the same attire they wore in Smith's grown up and dressed in other films Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma —are speaking with Holden McNeil (Ben Affleck's character from Chasing).

Apparently, Miramax is making a movie out of "Bluntman and Chronic," the comic book that Holden and his friend Banky (Jason Lee) based on Jay and —

Silent Bob. Holden shows them that the characters are getting trashed on an Internet movie fan site, and the self-dubbed "heterosexual life mates" decide they must go to Hollywood to stop the filming. Holden advises them that "knowing Miramax," they should look for the set with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on it.

There are four main jokes in this opening sequence (with others sprinkled along the way), and all of them are funny. The convenience store, the sign outside of it and the clerks themselves are the same as those in the film's predecessors. The f— from Jay is pitch-perfect, and we finally see why the

word is Jay's favorite in the English language. And his later diatribe to Holden about why they can't let fanboys ruin their reputations, along with Affleck's self-dig, is also hilarious.

But while the laughs abound, the jokes come off as too obscure and too inconsistent. The four main jokes all fail under different types of humor—references to Kevin Smith films, shock value, references to fanboys and refernces to other movies, respectively.

Garinger If you're not a fan of Kevin Smith, don't like to hear f about 20 times a minute, are not a regular of Internet movie fan sites like Ain't It Cool News or are not a film buff, these jokes will be lost on you. Essentially, a third of the audience is laughing, and the rest are stone-faced And you can expect the same from the rest of the movie. As Jay and Silent Bob make their way across the country, they experience all of the standards of a road-trip movie while running into Kevin Smith regulars like Matt Damon, Chris Rock and Joey Lauren Adams, as well as newcomers Will Ferrell and Tracy Morgan. Jason Biggs and James Van Der B Beek also appear as the real stars of "Bluntman and Chronic."

The jokes come fast and furious, and some border on being quite offensive. But they are uneven and random —you almost wish Smith had just picked one type of humor and stayed with it. This is a film for a small niche of the paying public, and more likely than not, you're not part of it. □

Allen has had a mixed decade. He's had great films like Manhattan Murder Mystery, Bullets Over Broadway and Small Time Crooks. He's also had his share of rubbish: Deconstructing

B, Martin Barna

"“"-

In his 31st directorial effort, Allen has created a tedious comedy about a 1940s insurance investigator named C.W. Briggs (Allen) and his love interest, the über-bitch efficiency expert Betty Ann Fitzpatrick (Helen Hunt, who appears to be pining again for the youthful good looks of former co-star Jack Nicholson). Briggs and Betty Ann are hypnotized at an office party, and become jewel thieves that can be triggered into trance by a single word. Briggs is the investigator assigned to the case and is supposed to track himself down. In retrospect, it's not a bad premise. But in reality, it's a film-fusion mistake Allen can make two types of films well—the off-the-wall screwball comedy (Bananas) and the mature romantic comedy (Annie Half). However, he cannot mix the two. With Scorpion, he delivers a screwball setup executed by a swarm of straight men, punctuated by a long string of failed one-liners—mostly between Hunt and the Woodman himself. The laugh-outloud zingers can be counted on one hand.

Just across the street from East Campus lies the organic oasis that is Wellspring. The supermarket and salad-bar mecca has everything from sweet-potato chips and homemade salsa to beeswax body lotions and free-range fajitas. The best of the batch includes homemade breads, priced daily in the bakery section and various vegan concoctions that taste totally normal, even to carnivores. Wellspring's take-out is notoriously 1J / M expensive, but it's also pretty good and a tabu- rVC>| ISpr IrWL* V lous alternative to the overcooked vegetable oroid >r. slop found on campus. Recurring favorites in the prepared food section include sesame spinach salad, fresh broccoli with garlic and pine nuts and organic *

steaks.

The take-out counter, located all the way to the left, also boasts some amazing Vietnamese spring rolls (vegetarian or shrimp) and hearty mashed potatoes. Aside from a sandwich bar where customers can order their custom-made roast beef and foccacia. Wellspring has a prepared foods refrigerator stuffed with burritos, soups, wraps and the occasional cold-cut medley. If you go, make sure to bring your own water bottle, or suffer the consequences of an organic cherry-vanilla cola (which is disgusting). Also, hold off on buying the tempting chocolate-chip cookies by the bakery—Wellspring is a two-second walk from the real campus eatery, Ben and Jerry's.

Cinelli's is the latest pizza place attempting to fill the space left by Pieworks on the corner of Main and Broad. Unfortunately, it can't decide what kind of restaurant it wants to be.

For starters, the restaurant itself is divided in half. One side is a full service sitdown eatery; the other, a Sbarro-type buy-by-the-slice area. Classic Italian music competes with TV broadcasts of sporting events. The neon track lighting bordering the ceiling gives the restaurant the added vibe of a cheesy teen dance club.

As for the food, Cinelli's has a huge menu, covering a variety of pizzas and calzones and almost 50 (yes, FIFTY) different entrees of chicken, veal and seafood.

There's also a bevy of "specialty sandwiches." For a slice of pizza, prices range from a very reasonable $1.65, while most entree dishes clock in at around $13.95. Quite a steep price curve.

Unfortunately, this is reflected in the quality of the food. The veal francese and mussels posillipo are both delicious, but at $13.95 and $9.95 respectively, the meals don't justify their prices. And the phrase "get what you pay for" definitely applies to the pizza. Although the crust is light in consistency and had a great doughy taste, the pie is incredibly

ck

greasy My attempts to sop up excessive amounts of pizza grease (?OT ftroacl Sf. with my fine-dining, quality cloth napkin perfectly symbolize the Cinelli's dining experience. Cinelli's could be a great restaurant if it ended its attempts to be a "college/sports bar/pizza place" and focused on serving quality Italian food.

When most students think of George's Garage, they envision dinner when the parents are in town or Thursday nights out.

Few have taken the extra steps to the back of the restaurant to discover George's Bakery and Market—a much more affordable, and just as delicious, gourmet eatery.

George's Market is a self-service, by-the-pound cafe, where you can choose from an extensive selection of soups, salads and hot dishes —very few of which will disappoint—at the reasonable price of $5.95 per pound. George's Market turns a traditional tuna salad into a delicacy, adds a sesame zing to its Chinese chicken salad and whips up the same heavenly 9ar l' c mashed potatoes that the restaurant's customers dish out big bucks for. The rotatirjrjr IV lar I FX' jn g hot meat dish—like sausage or brisket and vegetables—is always a good bet. The only item pSs lacking flavor is the green beans, which would be helped by a bit of lemon. firm <-x r}r n'-xl l n gddjtjQp, t 0 the food bar, there is a sandwich station and a hot food counter where items are sold a la carte. Steer clear of the dry calzone and try the hearty vegetable lasagna instead.

You could easily stuff yourself with the rich food at George's Market, but don't leave without trying one of their delicious desserts. The gigantic cookies are a must—go for the oatmeal cranberry or double chocolate. For something a little bit different, try one of George's signature Greek desserts, like kataifi —a shredded, cinammony version of baklava.

If you're there before 4 pm, you can enjoy indoor seating in the restaurant's dining room. After 4 pm, there's only the outdoor patio, which is fine if you don't mind staring at a parking lot, listening to elevator music and sharing your meal with flies. And believe us, you won't want to share this meal with anyone.

When you think of the James Joyce Pub, three things come to mind: cold Guinness, the Tuesday-night trivia challenge and incessant U2 music For most Duke students, that's what the Joyce is—beer, brains and Bono.

It seems most students are not taking advantage of one of the better venues for polishing off a quick lunch or dinner of top-notch pub food.

Pt Is

«vP -/arrlvV Unlike other area bars, which offer orders of throwaway fries, the Joyce Vv Mam cjhas an extensive menu of appetizers, sandwiches 9*2 \a/ka and dinners that consistently satisfy the palate.

Start a meal with the tomatoes and Buffalo mozzarella plate, which is covered in a mix of salad dressings, or order a plate of potato skins. With enough bacon and cheese to give Dave Thomas a heart attack, the skins are a great yet horribly unhealthy starter. For a meal, try the fish and chips, covered in a light batter and served with lemon and tartar sauce.

Or pick the pinnacle: the beef and Guinness stew. Served in a bread bowl, the piping hot blend of spicy beef sauce, potatoes and carrots satisfies and stuffs.

The only problem with dining at the Joyce is the price. Good pub food is not cheap pub food. Also, there is a huge benefit to arriving at the Joyce for a 7pm dinner—on Tuesdays, it's about the only way to secure a ~

Students know about a certain place in town where they can taste "the best" Middle Eastern food, if they don't mind putting up with disgruntled staff and an owner who rants about tomato-based sauces.

Fortunately, those same Duke students can order the real "best" Middle Eastern food, and receive courteous service, at Bread & Kabob, conveniently located a tenth of a mile from campus.

The diner-like exterior and the illustration of a cartoon Middle Eastern man on the sign do not do justice to the quality of the food. The lambkabob, served with a bountiful portion of rice and two vegetables, is my favorite—it's well seasoned, tender and tasty. There are also options for vegetarians. Of the vegetables, the potatoes are the best, with the seasoned green beans and spinach close behind them.

Every dish at B&K starts with a piece of warm pita-like bread. I've found the best way to eat the bread is to dip it into the green cilantro sauce. And while I've been told that the sauce is technically not for bread-dipping, the staff has never come over to my table to yell at me £ about my dining choices. On the contrary, B&K's workers are so kind and W Main thorough, it almost makes you forget about the last time you were scolded for using ketchup.

Perhaps a new logo will help increase attendance: "Middle Eastern food, without the attitude."

There's a new kid on Ninth Street.

Sandwiched between Banh's and Mugshots is the colorful Taqueria La Frontera, which offers a friendlier and more authentic alternative to the tired Cosmic Cantina. And it's open until Sam on weekends.

At La Frontera, the food and service are simple, and sometimes questionable, but the overall experience—complete with Latino music and soap operas—is delightful. Somehow when I left the restaurant, 1 managed to forget that there was a toothpick buried inside my chile relleno (which was cold on the first try), a puddle of grease under my rice and no ice in the water. The waitress' infectious smile, the soccer jerseys on the hand-painted walls and the knowledge that I had just consumed a real Mexican i meal for a bargain stuck with me instead.

The menu is hit-and-miss, so be judicious when you order. Skip the nachos (they remind me of afterschool snacks I 748 Ninth St. used to make at home) and head straight for the main course. The Fajitas Frontera are printed in boldface on the menu for a reason —they are a flavorful and delicious combination of steak, chicken, shrimp, onions and peppers, served with rice,

frot&cra

beans and tortillas Another good choice is the chile relleno—just make sure it's hot. Our waitress suggested the six vegetarian dishes as the "especialidades de la casa," so we tried "El Jardin"—a plate with one bean burrito, one spinach enchilada and one potato chalupa.The chalupa was a strange mound of mashed poataoes atop a giant tortilla chip and the enchilada was essentially a flour tortilla stuffed with creamed spinach.

One in a Million Aaliyah’s tragic death cut short a budding career.

A

And Aaliyah was only getting started. Her eponymously titled CD, her first in nearly five years, was released just a month ago. Critics have lauded the disc as not only her best work, but as a creative revitalization, an evolution in hip-hop music. Rolling Stone awarded her effort four stars, and Aaliyah (2001) debuted at number two on the Billboard sales charts.

Aaliyah's film career was just heating up as well. She recently finished filming on a big-screen adaptation of Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned, and she'd snagged the female lead in the upcoming installments in The Matrix trilogy. As Spin editor Alan Light lamented, "There's no guessing how big a star [these] sequels alone would have made her."

Indeed, Aaliyah marks a departure from theTimbaland-trademarked syncopated-beats-and-creative-samples style perfected in 1998's "Are You That Somebody?" Pushing the experimental edges of hip-hop even further with hard-rock guitar riffs and electronica accents, Aaliyah's latest (1996), effort returned her to the vanguard of her illion went crowded field.

And you wouldn't want her to be the only naked one, now would you?

Judging by the vulnerable space she place herself in over and over throughout Vespertine, Bjork has no problem baring it all The stark sensuality on every track brings to mind the voyeuristic pleasure of GRADE: not only hearing but watching someone sing in the shower. It's m

Is This Our Duke?

This is OurYouthexamines I young adults in 1982.

Durham's

Manbites Dog Theater Company is presenting a production of Kenneth Lonergan's This is Our Youth. The play is set in 1982 in New York City when decadence reigned among the young and when doing drugs, listening to music and having sex were the ideal activities for a Saturday night. The play revolves JOINT VENTURE: Kevin Pooie (left) and Adam Saunders are puff daddies, around the life of an adolescent named Warren, . . . . . played by 1998 Duke graduate Kevin Poqle.

The audience is truly let into the hearts of these two characters over the course of the play and in the end we suffer with them.

The least compelling part of the production is Adam Saunders. Though he has a great character to work with, he does nothing with him. Throughout the play he remains at a distance and a relationship between Dennis and Warren never really develops, but it is no fault of Poole. At one point, Dennis is sitting in a chair being quite complacent and all of the sudden he is hitting Warren without any sort of real motivation, almost robotically. His performance is complete with bad fake crying near the end. However, the play is not lost among the wreckage. Strong perform....

ances from Poole and Maas allow for the complete journey to be realized and a resolution to occur.

Overall, the production was quite strong, though it's unclear why kids would wear flannel in the early 'Bos or live in a dump when their wealthy parents pay their rent, but this still does not compromise the play's integrity. The superior direction of Jeff Storer has created a touching look into the lives of three college-age adults in the early 80s. It's said that plays resurface when they are once again pertinent to society, and perhaps that is the case with this production. Is this our Youth? □

Women’s soccer readies for season Two recruits

By GREG VEIS The Chronicle Friday night’s contest against intrastate foe Davidson (0-0) ushers in the

beginning of the Robbie Church era for the Duke women’s soccer team Having seen the program’s only coach Bill Hempen defect to Boulder, Church left his previous gig as the Vanderbilt head coach behind to fulfill the potential that the Blue Devils have never completely realized.

The feeling around the practice field is that Church brings a pleasant, yet no-nonsense approach to the game.

“He will tell you what he is thinking no matter what,” freshman forward Lauren Simel said, sounding noticeably shocked after her first days playing collegiate ball. “It has definitely been a change because of its intensity.”

Coaching style aside, Church’s function is to lead this year’s crop of players to victory, and Davidson should not pose a considerable problem in this area.

While the Wildcats return their six leading scorers from last season’s squad, including single season goal and point record holder Heather Maloney, they lack depth from midfield on down.

“They did lose some players on defense, which should help us,” Church said. “That will give us some good opportunities to put the ball in the net Davidson’s travails start at goalie because not one of its three netminders

CARLY FULLER and the women’s soccer team will begin their season against Davidson tonight

Shortly after returning from Australia, where they prepared for the upcoming basketball season, the Duke women’s basketball team is preparing for the less immediate future by bringing in two recruits for the 2002 class.

Lindsey Harding, a 5’6” push guard from Cypress, Tex., verbally committed to Duke earlier this month.

Brooke Smith is a 6’3” post player from San Anselmo, CA, who Duke is actively recruiting. She reciprocates Duke’s interest and may make a final decision after this official visit.

“I’ll see how it goes,” she said. “If I know after this visit what I want to do, then I’ll go ahead and commit. But ifI’m still unsure and I feel like I have to make a visit to Stanford then I’ll do that.”

Bret McCormick of the All-Star Girls Report, a girl’s basketball scouting service, will place her among the top 15 players in her class in the service’s new ranking to come out in the next few weeks.

“She’s a great, skilled player,” he said.

“She’s got great post moves. She can also step out and shoot it from 18 feet. [And] she’s a good athlete.”

Down to Dallas: Volleyball goes to SMU Invitational

By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

The volleyball team will venture down to Dallas for the Southern Methodist University Invitational this weekend. The team’s voyage to the Lone Star state marks the first matches ofthe season for the eager group of women.

After finishing in fifth place in the ACC last year, they were recently selected third in a preseason poll by the conference’s coaches.

In the first two matches of the season, the Blue Devils will face two different Wildcat teams. On Friday afternoon, Duke will face Weber State before taking the court against Kentucky Saturday morning. Both of the teams come from good conferences, which can be seen in their schedules.

Playing the likes of Brigham Young University and Sacramento State should make Weber State ready for postseason action this year.

“Weber State plays in the Big Sky conference, which is very strong, head coach Jolene Nagel said. ”

JILL SONNE, shown here against GeorgiaTech last season, will travel to Dallas to begin the season

Kentucky lost in the second round of the SEC tournament last year and failed to advance to the NCAA tournament. They finished last season 6-21 overall and 3-11 in the conference which includes Florida and Georgia, two top

volleyball programs.

“Kentucky is in the SEC, another good volleyball conference, Nagel said.

Junior rightside-hitter Jill Sonne is up to the challenge of the first weekend of what looks to be a promising season. The Blue Devils return five starters from last year: a fact which adds to the team’s experience level.

That experience, however, is of little value for preparing for its opponents in the SMU Invitational.

“All the teams should give us a challenge, Sonne said. “We don’t know much about most of them.”

The third and final match of the weekend matches Duke up against the host team, SMU. The Mustangs finished last year 14-17 after jumping to an 8-2 mark early in the season. They return See VOLLYBALL on page 15 ¥■

playing field.

The revolution starts Saturday at 6 p.m. in Wallace Wade Stadium against Duke; the first battle in the fifth-ranked Seminoles’ most difficult war in years looks to be a mere formality until they play the heart of the conference.

“Anytime you play Florida State, even though they lose guys, you know they are just going to replace them,” said Blue Devil’s third-year coach Carl Franks. “However, I still think that this is a good time to be playing them. [ln fact], it is probably the best time to play them because they don’t have everything clicking yet, but on the reverse

“We’ve got to keep our quarterback healthy,” Franks said. “[The Seminoles] are really quick up front, and they rush the passer real well. Part oftheir deal is trying to get tp the quarterback, and they have a good history of that.”

On the other side of the football, given that Saturday’s performance will serve as quarterback Chris Rix’s first and that their receiving corps lacks any Peter Warrick-like dominance, the Seminoles will look to exhaust the Blue Devil defense with a steady running game, as opposed to a Chris Weinke-led high flyin’ attack.

Bowden will probably also prefer to pound out the yardage because he respects Duke’s defensive front line.

Duke experience FSU has much more talent than Duke. In a midseason rematch, Duke would not have the smallest hope of victory. Saturday, if Florida State’s inexperienced quarterback, tailback and other players struggle and Duke’s veterans execute, Duke has a chance, albeit a small one, of shocking FSU.

Chris Douglas returns for Duke and will be the primary ball carrier. Last year, he led all freshmen in the country in all-purpose yards. Saturday, however, will not be easy; the powerful Florida State defense is led by Outland Trophy-candidate Bradley Jennings.

FSU will start redshirt freshman Chris Rix at quarterback. He will be throwing to a very inexperienced receiving corps, as only two of the top eight receivers from last year’s squad return. Atrews Bell, a returning starter at receiver will be a major threat.

Pas ing

After emerging as the starting quarterback last year, D. Bryant returns seasoned. Most of his receivers are back, including Kyle Moore and Mike Hart. The FSU defense, despite returning just three starters, will put pressure oh Bryant and tight coverage on his receivers

Kyle Moore was the ACC’s leading kickoff returner last year. He and Chris Douglas return. FSU will employ a new kicker, Xavier Beitia, and punter, Chance Gwaltney. The clear loser in this matchup is the P.A. announcer.

Duke will certainly miss the departure of AllAmerica punter Brian Morton. Trey McDonald assumes his frequent duties. Brent Garber returns as kicker. FSU’s returners, led by Maddox had journeymen-like statistics last year.

Junior Nick Maddox takes over at tailback and will benefit from a powerful line anchored by preseason All-America tackle Brett Williams. Duke’s talented tinebacking corps should have more success containing the run than the secondary will have with the pass

Predicting the first game of a season is always difficult—and becomes more difficult when one team returns just seven starters. The athleticism of the FSU defense will likely keep Duke reeling, even if the experienced Duke players execute. If Chris Rix comes out and looks like the next Chris Weinke and Nick Maddox looks like Travis Minor, Duke is in for a long evening. If, however, they stumble Duke can keep the score down and perhaps pull out a victory in the end. Most likely, Florida State comes out awkwardly, but superior talent and growing confidence leads them to blow the game open late, FSU wins 41-13.

Kentucky, Weber Agassi, Safin, Sampras win at Open State await Duke

By STEVEN WINE

The Associated Press

VOLLEYBALL from page 13 four freshmen and two sophomores from last year which puts them in a similar situation to Duke.

“SMU plays many of its games in Texas, a good volleyball state, Nagel said.

The tournament is played using a round-robin style with the championship trophy going to the team with the best record. In order for the Blue Devils to come back to Durham with a first place finish, they will need to work hard this weekend.

“I think it is a very competitive tournament,” Nagel said. “I don’t know if I would want it any more competitive.”

Aside from the hot weather in Dallas, Duke senior Ashley Harris will be glad to go down to Texas this weekend. Harris grew up in Dallas and hopes to show her hometown friends what she can do. The 6-foot-l outside hitter looks to be the Blue Devils’ main source of offense when the team is in need of a kill this year.

“Ashley Harris is doing really well, Nagel said.

“She had wrist surgery and then shoulder surgery earlier this year but she’s fine now.

With a new scoring system in place this season, the Blue Devils and all other teams will have to make an adjustment. For the first year the games will be played to 30 using rally scoring as opposed to the 15-point sideout games last year. If a fifth and final game is needed to decide a match it will be played to 15 points, instead of 30. Duke will play according to the new system in this, the first of three tournaments in which they will compete during the regular season.

“We have pre-conference tournaments to help us get ready for the season, Sonne said. “It helps us see where we are now.”

The Blue Devils should be up to the challenge this weekend but will definitely get good experience for the season. After Saturday the team will recuperate and prepare for High Point, who come to Durham on ”

Tuesday night.

Andre Agassi anxiously waited NEW YORK through two sets for a sign of mortality from his relentless opponent, and it finally came when Nicolas Massu double-faulted on set point.

“C’mon!” Agassi shouted as the serve landed an inch wide, symbolic of the margin by which he escaped Thursday at the US. Open.

Confronted with a barrage ofremarkable shotmaking from Massu, Agassi hung on until the Chilean cooled off. With the tense victory, 6-7 (4), 6-4,6-2,7-6 (1), the second-seeded Agassi advanced to the third round.

“My experience tells me that was a great one to kind of sneak through there,” the two-time Open champion said. “He wasn’t giving an inch from the beginning, and neither was I.” After losing the first set, Agassi was in danger of losing the second. He struggled to hold serve for a 5-4 lead, then took the set when Massu hit only his second double fault.

With that one errant shot, momentum immediately shifted to Agassi. Massu, 10 years younger at 21, was nonetheless weary from doing most of the running and began spraying his shots.

“Over the course of a match, that’s an important ingredient for me—that an opponent is having to work hard,” Agassi said.

Defending champion Marat Safin also survived a tough test, nearly exhausting his allotment of tiebreakers but outlasting Ivan Ljubicic 7-6 (5), 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5).

Despite the marathons, the Open remained largely upset-free. Four-time champion Pete Sampras won the final match of the night, beating qualifier Andre Sa 76 (4), 6-4, 6-3.

“They’re all tough,” Sampras said. “All these guys are out to knock me out.”

Jennifer Capriati advanced to the third round by beating Evie Dominikovic 6-2, 6-0, defending champion Venus Williams beat Meilen Tu 6-2,6-2, and French Open runner-up Kim Clijsters beat American Allison Bradshaw 6-3, 6-2.

Capriati and her brother, Steven, were eliminated in the opening round of mixed doubles.

On the men’s side, a recurrent shoulder injury forced American Jan-Michael Gambill to retire trailing Mikhail Youzhny 6-4, 4-1.

Another American, Andy Roddick, celebrated his 19th birthday with a practice session and passed on a piece of birthday cake.

“I’ve got to stick to the U.S, Open diet,” Roddick said. He plays countryman Jack Brasington in the second round Friday.

There was a new development in the Open’s spitting spat. Michal Tabara, who spat at Justin

Gimelstob approaching the net to shake hands after losing their five-set match Wednesday, was fined $l,OOO by the International Tennis Federation for unsportsmanlike conduct.

With a day off Thursday, Gimelstob threw out the first pitch at the New York Mets’ game.

“A spitball, of course,” he quipped.

Agassi-Massu was an unlikely candidate for the best match so far this week. Massu came into the tournament ranked 86th with a 17-20 record this year, and he lost to Agassi in straight sets at Wimbledon two months ago.

But in the first two sets the, speedy baseliner seemed to chase down every shot, and he came up with a series of improbable, sharply-angled winners that often landed on a line. A frustrated Agassi committed 18 unforced errors in the opening set, including four in the tiebreaker, then failed to convert his first seven break-point chances in the second set.

“I had the chances,” Agassi said. “I just felt like if I stayed with it, I would eventually consolidate those opportunities.”

He did, gradually wearing down Massu by running him from comer to comer.

The Chilean caught his breath to make one last charge in the fourth set, coming back from a 3-1 deficit and erasing three match points in the 10th game. But he committed four unforced errors in the tiebreaker, allowing Agassi to close out the 3-hour, 20-minute victory.

Blue Devils may Church era begins today vs. Davidson grab 2nd recruit

Duke should not be at a loss for intensity either as it looks to begin the Church era with a strong performance.

The Blue Devil’s offense should capitalize upon collegiate contest.

The Wildcat defenders, though having logged actual Davidson’s defensive weakness with their strong front playing time, do not possess superior talent. With two of line of senior Sarah Pickens, junior Alison Sanders and the team’s best defenders gone from last season, convertOxenham. Those three nearly accounted for one half of ed senior midfielder Penn Graves becomes their best Duke’s offensive production last year, and they will most chance of stopping Duke’s potentially explosive forwards. certainly have the opportunity to continue that trend Also, aside from Tara Maloney who enters her against the Wildcat’s Swiss cheese defense.

On the other end of Koskinen field, sophomore sophomore campaign off a surprisingly successful first year, the Wildcats’ midfield possesses the probstandout Thora Helgadottir will try to continue the success that she earned in her first campaign between lem of having a lot of bodies and fairly little talent.

Nevertheless, Davidson does bring an underdog the posts, while Duke’s best defenders, junior Rebecca mentality into Durham that may bolster their chances Smith and sophomore Kelly Harris, will attempt to keep Wildcat intruders at bay. of making up for their talent deficiencies.

Surveying the whole scene from the Blue Devil side“They are a team that is simply looking to bring us coach Church’s primary responsibility on his Gwendolyn lines, forward Oxenham said. down,” sophomore “They will come out there hard, and with a lot of first night in Duke blue will be to avert a potential season-opening disaster. aggression and enthusiasm.”

P RECRUITS from page 13

McCormick also stressed how valuable Smith would be to Duke. Iciss Tillis played center last year for Duke, but she was often more comfortable drifting out to the perimeter. Smith would be more of a true center, but is still able to step out and hit jump shots—a valuable attribute in the Duke offense.

“What I really like about the team is that they’re really a fast-break team,” she said. “They get out on transition. That’s one of my stronger areas, so I really think I’d fit in well with their style of play.”

This past year, Smith was School Sports All-Area for San Francisco and an All-Star at the Adidas Top Ten camp. As a sophomore she was named the top center in northern California by School Sports Smith has narrowed her list of schools to just Stanford and Duke. Both schools’ impressive mix of academics and basketball mirror Smith’s own existence.

She is a strong student at Marin Catholic High School in San Francisco and has been active in extracurricular activities and community service. Smith also wants to plan for a strong future.

“Academics is one of the big factors in why I chose those two as my top choices,” she said. “I want to get a good education. I have to live with life after basketball is over.”

Harding has also listed academics as a major reason why she chose Duke.

The point guard attended the Duke basketball camp for three years and built a strong relationship with the coaching staffand an appreciation for the University.

McCormick also plans to place her in the top-15 of the new rankings.

“She makes good decisions,” the scout said. “She can distribute; she can hit threes. She’s a great guard.

She’s one of the better guards in the country.”

Her athleticism and tough defense will also help her fit in as an aggressive point guard on next year’s Duke team.

Both recruits reflect the athletic, pressing style that coach Gail Goestenkoers has installed around gifted sophomore Alana Beard and the other excellent athletes she has signed in the last two years.

Both recruits also have the right combination of intelligence, drive and humor that would serve them in good stead on the Duke team. “[lf Smith commits], they’ll both fit in great with the players and coaches at Duke,” McCormick says.

After lavishing more praise on the Duke coaching staff, the scout made a prediction with which most observers of the team would agree. “[Duke] will be back up there in the Final Four in a few years,” he said. “Especially if they get who they want this year.”

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS � Named 2008 School Sports’ First Team Ail-Area (San Francisco Area) � School Sports’ Top Center in Northern California after sophomore season � MVP of AAU Pacific Regional Tournament as a freshman.

WHAT THEY SAID She’s a great, skilled player. She’s got great post moves. She can also step our and shoot itfrom 18 feet. [And] she’s a good athlete.

After

President George W. Bush promised his tax cut would leave Social Security untouched, new economic data indicate that this fiscal year’s budget will require $9 billion from surplus Social Security revenues, forcing Bush to go back on a key campaign pledge.

The Congressional Budget Office released updated budgetary predictions Tuesday that were 44 percent lower than the $275 billion surplus the CBO predicted only three months ago. Meanwhile, White House officials maintain that the CBO’s numbers are incorrect and still rely on numbers from the Office of Management and Budget.

Still, they would do well to remember 1995 Republican arguments that the non-partisan CBO’s projections should be used over those of the OMB, whose head is selected by the president.

Bush made campaign promises based on the supposition that the fairy-tale growth of the 1990s would continue indefinitely. The devil’s in the details and the detail Bush missed—or ignored—was that 4 to 8 percent growth was simply unsustainable. And although an $BO billion tax rebate enjoyed bi-partisan support, it was Bush who pushed a $1.35 billion tax cut through Congress.

That will almost undoubtedly force him to go back on an essential campaign promise: not to dip into Social Security. This year’s tax rebate, as reported by the CBO, comprised two-thirds of the 44 percent reduction in the surplus. Now, Americans wall receive a paltry amount —$600 dollars at most—and the economy will be deprived of the revenue it will need to avoid fiscal irresponsibility.

Nevertheless, now that the rebate checks are in the mail and the surplus appears to have evaporated, Bush and Congress must find a way to proceed. Certainly, they must be even more responsible and avoid needless spending increases. That means reconsidering the additional $lB billion Bush seeks for military spending. Although pay increases for defense personnel are appropriate, not all ofthis money will go directly to the men and women of the Armed Services. Many funds are earmarked for new military systems from an old era. As Russia celebrates the 10th anniversary of the failed Communist coup attempt, the Bush administration should strongly reconsider that position in a post-Cold War world.

Throughout the tax cut battle earlier this year, critics lambasted Bush’s proposals. Those same critics opposed his budget and specifically, massive increases in defense spending. Bush, pledging all along that he would protect Social Security, answered those critics with cries of“fuzzy math,” a slogan that diverted attention from the real issue at hand. Now that his budget is causing the predicted havoc, slogans and catch phrases will not be enough to save Bush from his own words.

Clinique counter degrades University education Last

Not only does the administration continue to convert Duke into a haven for confor referenced

sumerism and blatant commercial advertising, not only does it insist on promoting a glamour magazine’s version of a woman’s perfect body image, but Duke seems to instill a feeling of materialism matched by no other community in the world.

“Mike, right? You totally don’t remember me.

Mike was already engaged in another conversation. At least she had asked the right questions.

There are only three necessary questions any freshmen needs to know: What is your name, what dorm are you in, and where are you from—in no particular order, because chances are, neither party will remember any ofthe answers.

Upperclassmen and those removed from The Freshman Code may be unaware of the utility of these phrases. They serve the purpose of filling silence, and a key element of The Code is to fill all empty space with conversation, any conversation.

The freshman perma-smile greatly facilitates this process. Any Code-following freshman will be in a constantly good mood, full of laughs and bubbles.

They have a bounce in- their gait an enthusiastic response to any comment, and a heightened self-consciousness that translates quite nicely into an anxious excitement: “So, what dorm are you in?”

Chronicle

Despite losses, football players remain optimistic

By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

As the Duke football team approaches its upcoming season, one fact is quite evident; This team does not act like the worst team in Division

I-A football.

The only squad in the country to go winless throughout its regular season, the Blue Devils could have sulked about their dreadful situation, but instead went out and worked in the offseason to improve.

And because of this work ethic, players learned their assignments and came to training camp ready to play. At always least, that’s what their straightforward coach put forward in his news conferences.

“For the most part, we’ve stayed pretty healthy,” Franks said. “Our team, for the most part, came in with excellent conditioning. I think they were only three or four guys who didn’t pass the running test.”

Based on their solid conditioning and productive offseason workouts, confidence is in the air at Duke fooball practice. Players will not even consider the likelihood of another winless season and Franks has expressed his certitude that his players have improved and will fare better.

In fact, quarterback D. Bryant, who will start for the second-straight year

after replacing the oft-injured Spencer Romine during the middle of last season, says that his team’s optimistic outlook started at the end of last season, despite the fact that Duke lost several demoralizing contests against in-state rivals like Wake Forest, N.C.

State, and North Carolina.

“It seems like everything started building up [at the end oflast season],” Bryant said. People got more confident in me, I got more confident in my teammates and it seemed like, even though we didn’t have a winning season and even though we didn’t win any games, everybody was looking forward to [this] year, knowing the things we could get done that we couldn’t get done the year before. [We also knew] that we had a lot of weapons coming back, we knew that we had a lot ofthe team coming back this year. Knowing what we were capable of doing, that built us all up.”

Besides the return of Bryant as the team’s field general, the Blue Devils will once again utilize running back Chris Douglas to anchor their ground attack. Despite playing behind starting running backs Duane Epperson and Devon Pierce, Douglas led Duke in rushing with 503 yards last season.

Alex Wade, a 251-pound bruising fullback, could also play a prominent role in third-down situations for the

Blue Devils after playing sparingly last season.

For its passing arsenal, Duke returns the majority of its receivers from last season, including All-ACC tight end Mike Hart, senior wide receivers Kyle Moore and Ben Erdeljac, and a plethora of athletic second-year wideouts including Reggie Love, Jeremy Battier, Khary Sharpe, and Senterrio Landrum. Not only have these receivers admitted that they are more confident than they were a year ago,

but the man who will pass them the ball, Bryant, believes that his targets will be much more reliable than they were in the past. “[Last year], it was very frustrating, putting balls where they needed to be—balls hitting receivers in the chest and then dropping it,” Bryant said.

“This year, we’ve got a lot of young guys, but we’ve also got a lot of guys back who are that much more confident also. During the preseason right now, we’re catching the ball well and everything’s going real well. I hope it’ll carry over into the season.”

Franks expressed similar sentiments.

“It was astronomical compared to what you’d expect. It was embarrassing at times, the number of passes that See OPTIMISM on page 19

D. BRYANT said that he and his teammates have been excited since last year about the potential of this year’s team.

CARL FRANKS is happy with the progress and conditioning of his players.

D.'s Team After being prepped for the starting QB position his whole career, the job is finally D. Bryant’s alone

By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

When D. Bryant came to Duke in 1998, he was one of the few football recruits to have racked up such accolades like All-America awards from various recruiting services and newspapers throughout the country.

However, despite being a much touted recruit in one of the worst programs in college football, Bryant did not play, but instead chose to redshirt, a very common practice in college football.

In another move contrary to common logic, Bryant then lost his eligibility playing on the NCAA runner-up basketball squad that year.

Two yaars later, he’s finally back to his original level—the undisputed start•ing quarterback of the Duke football team who completed 11-of-20 passes in a recent team scrimmage.

“When I came to college, I wanted to get a chance to play basketball,” Bryant said. “Once I had a chance to play here, that was a once-in-a-lifetime type of thing. Coming here, I wanted to be a starting quarterback at the college level and maybe have a chance to go on to the next level and that’s what probably forced me to put the basketball issues aside.”

The trip to being a starting quarterback on this level has not been easy for Bryant.

After his stint with the basketball team, he was dismissed from school for undisclosed reasons and spent the 1999 season working on an assembly line in native Detroit instead of throwing football for the Blue Devils.

After that enlightening experience, Bryant returned to school and also began returning to his high-school form.

While he was the star of the spring

scrimmage for the Blue Devils, he didn’t get a chance to start in the 2000 season until Spencer Romine and Bobby Campell had problems in the pocket.

Bryant ended up starting seven games, throwing for 1,448 yards, five touchdowns and 10 interceptions, finishing the season with a 50 percent completion percentage. After a year of valuable experience, he’s ready to lead the Blue Devils again, but this time he’s picked up a few more tricks of the trade.

He also found out, just like his predecessor, Romine, a fundamental rule of quarterbacking: throwing the ball in the correct place can be extremely annoying if it’s not caught. Romine complained of this problem at the beginning of last season, and after an 0-11 mark, it didn’t appear the team improved at all.

“It was very frustrating, putting balls where they needed to be, you know, balls hitting receivers in the chest and then dropping it,” Bryant said. “I can’t put my head down, because then my team will put their heads down and we can’t do what we need to do on the field. This year, we’ve got a lot of young guys, but we’ve also got a lot of guys back who are that much more confident also.

During the preseason right now, we’re catching the ball well and everything’s going real well. I hope it’ll carry over into the season.”

For the Love of the Game(s) Reggie Love hopes his success on the basketball court will translate into success on the gridiron

BY NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

In today’s world of collegiate athletics, playing multiple sports is extremely difficult. As the word “offseason” has morphed into “offseason workout,” the atmosphere surrounding Division I athletics has intensified dramatically.

An NCAA athlete is expected to work year-round with his teammates, and concentrate fully on an upcoming season months in advance, because he knows that athletes at other schools are doing the same.

Yet, in the age ofyear-round training, Duke’s Reggie Love defies the prevailing view that an athlete must choose only one sport. As a starting wide receiver on the football squad and a key reserve on Duke’s championship basketball team, Love not only

competes in two sports, he does so at a high level.

Interestingly, despite football’s heavy physical emphasis, Love described the winter transformation from football to basketball as more physically demanding than spring’s return to the gridiron.

“I think it’s a bigger conditioning thing to go from football to basketball,” he said. “During football season, it’s more quick sprints, where you get rest. In basketball, it’s more up-and-down. So, I think I’m better conditioned when I come from basketball to football.”

On the basketball court, Love is the equivalent to a very capable walk-on athlete. Although basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski is certainly grateful for Love’s contributions, it is on the football field where the sophomore is counted on most heavily to produce. Accordingly, Love’s mindset changes as the seasons do.

“I think I probably put a little more pressure on myself, football-wise,” the sophomore said. “Not that I don’t have a leadership role on the basketball team, but I have more of a lead-by-example role on the football team. I have to be more careful about what I say, and then make sure that I’m really positive, really upbeat.”

Seeing his extraordinary potential, advocates ofeach sport wish Love would simply forget the other.

Yet, despite facing continual pressure to decide on one sport, he resists, in part because of his closest companions. “[Wide receiver] Jeremy Battier and [point guard] Chris Duhon are probably my two best friends,” Love

Leading with the Hart

All-ACC senior Mike Hart hopes to duplicate his solid season of a year ago and step up as

By WILYORK The Chronicle Take a quick glance at the record of last year’s Duke football team, and one could assume that the

season was a total wash.

However, senior tight end Mike Hart might take exception to that assumption. Playing on a team with an often anemic passing attack, Hart managed to earn second-team All-ACC honors at his position, tying for the team lead with 31 catches and owning a team-best 540 receiving yards.

Hart was pleased with his performance during the 2000 campaign, but his goal is not to win individual accolades; rather, it is success for his struggling football squad.

“It’s nice to see your name written and hear it on

TV, that’s nice reassurance,” Hart said. “But I’m just playing for myself and my team.”

One of the most obvious assets that Hart brings to the team, aside from his on-the-field contributions, is his status as a leader among his teammates. Duke coach Carl Franks was quick to express that Hart is one of the team’s most integral, vocal leaders on the gridiron. .“Mike provides leadership for us on and off the field,” Franks said. “He knows that when you do something good, you should be happy, but that there’s another play coming. On the other hand, he also knows that when something bad happens, sometimes you’ve got to just forget about it and focus on the next play.”

While Hart knows that he sometimes needs to provide leadership simply by making catches and advancing his team, he fully understands that his job is not all glamor. He stated that one of the things he worked on the most during spring and summer practice was improving his strength and his blocking skills. Hart has added close to 20 pounds to his frame for this season.

Franks has been impressed with Hart’s continued desire to improve.

“He’s really improved his blocking,” the third-year coach said. “We’re looking for a big year from him, doing that and catching the football.”

The times that Mike Hart gets noticed most are often the times when he makes a catch and contributes points or big yardage to his team. However, Hart keeps

his focus simply on doing what is asked of him.

“Of course, I like catching the ball. I think even offensive linemen would love to catch the ball every once in a while if they could,” he said. “But my most satisfying play is one where I just did my job. Whether it is catching the ball, or making a good block, or whatever, I just want to be able to say, ‘Hey, I did my best.’”

It is that work: ethic that sets Hart apart from many ofhis teammates. Hart characterized himself as a leader by example, not one who must constantly be heard.

“Sometimes I try and say some spirited words to my teammates,” he said, “but mostly I just try to shut up

All the hard work that Hart has put in over the last four years just may pay off in a big way for him. Many persuasion publications have him projected as a first team All-ACC player, and such accolades certainly do not go unnoticed by the powers-that-be in the NFL. “I’d love to play in the NFL,” Hart said. “I think every kid dreams about playing a professional sport at some point. Now, I really want to pursue that goal, since it is so close.”

For now, though, Hart remains focused on the task at hand, the goal of improving the Blue Devil football team and contributing what he can.

“My number one desire right now is to have this team win games,” Hart said. “If I play great and we win, Til feel good about it. But if I don’t play well and we still win, then I’ll probably feel even better about it, because it means that we’re all improving.”

This attitude of improving not only himself, but also the people around him, could be the most lasting effect of Hart on Duke’s football program. By raising his level of play as high as he can, Hart hopes to help raise the collective strength of Blue Devil football.

Receiving corps hopes potential will translate into success

By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle

There is not much positive to say about an 0-11 season. So it comes as no surprised that as they prepare for the 2001 season, Duke’s receivers are committed to putting last year behind them, while learning from past mistakes.

“We can’t dwell on it,” Reggie Love said. “But we can’t forget it either.

There were games that we were close to winning, but little plays here and there cost us the game. You have to keep that in mind. That’s what provides the motivation.”

In the case of the receivers, the “little plays” were dropped balls, lots of them.

“It was frustrating, putting balls

where they needed to be,” quarterback D. Bryant said. “You know, balls hitting receivers in the chest and then dropping it.”

The coaching staff shared Bryant’s frustration.

“It was astronomical compared to what you’d expect,” coach Carl Franks said. “It was embarrassing at times, the number of passes we dropped.”

But the word out of the Duke camp is that a year has made a world of difference.

Rather then shy away from the passing game, the improvement ofthe receiving core since last season has led Franks to install a game plan that will feature multiple three and four receiver sets.

“They seem to have a better grasp of some of the passing schemes we’re

*

That total ranked Moore ninth nationally. This year, he believes the special teams will perform better.

“Special teams is the turning point in the game,” Moore said. “I hope I can get the momentum swinging in our direction. We’ve got some great new returns put in. We didn’t score once last year, and that’s definitely going to be our goal every time we step on the field.”

Love enters the season as the celebrity on the team. The sophomore served as a reserve on the National Championship winning men’s basketball team. But Franks and the Blue Devils are far more interested in Love for what he can do on the football field.

doing,” Franks said. “They’re running well after they catch it, so there is enthusiasm with them and with me that we’re not going to have that trend [of dropping balls] this season.”

This season the Blue Devils will be led by senior Kyle Moore, sophomore Reggie Love and senior Ben Erdeljac.

Moore, a legitimate deep threat, led the Blue Devils with three touchdowns last season.

Duke hopes his speed will help open the field up, and provide more scoring punch.

Moore should also play a key role in special teams. During his junior season he led the conference with a whopping 25.8 yards per return average.

Tigers

Overall 9-3; Conference 6-2'

OFFENSIVE OUTLOOK Watch out for Heisman candidate Woodrow Dantzler, who can beat team just as easily on the option as he can with the throw. All-ACC running back Travis Zachery provides a strong complement to Dantzler's passing game.

DEFENSIVE OUTLOOK After returning only four defensive starters, Clemson's defense is void of big names. However, a Tiger defense anchored by DT Nick Eason and LB Braxton Williams will still provide a formidable challenge for an opposing offense.

Florida State Semlnoles

Overall 11-2; Conference 8-0

OFFENSIVE OUTLOOK Despite the inexeperience of redshirt freshman QB Chris Rix, the 'Moles still boast a bevy of dangerous big-play receivers for their lethal air attack, including juniorAnquan Bolding and seniors Atrews Bell and Javon Walker.

DEFENSIVE OUTLOOK A relative down year for a defense that often features some of the most lethal tacklers in the country, the Seminoles will look to NG Jeff Womble and second-team All-ACC selection Darnell Dockett to resume FSU's defensive intimidation.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

Overall 9-3; Conference 6-2

OFFENSIVE OUTLOOK The Yellow Jackets will be led by a lethal passing combination of QB George Godsey and WR Kelly Campbell—both of whom were second-team All-ACC selections last year-who hooked up 59 times last

season.

DEFENSIVE OUTLOOK Team tackling leader Daryl Smith will look to lead a Georgia Tech defense that returns an ACC-high 9 letterman from last season. First-team All-ACCer Greg Gathers, who finished second in sacks in the ACC, also will be a load to handle.

Maryland Terrapins

Overall 5-6; Conference 3-5

OFFENSIVE OUTLOOK After being one of the conference's most anemic offenses last season, Mary land expects to bolster its output with the strategymaking of Ralph Friedgen, Tech's old offensive coordinator, as its new coach. Shaun Hill, who started towards the end of the season, should continue to improve.

DEFENSIVE OUTLOOK Althought the Terrapins return a large number of lettemen from last year's defensive unit, it still remains to be seen whether they will be.able to effectively stop the run or the pass..

Despite losing Heisman trophywinning quarterback Chris Weinke on offense and weakside linebacker Tommy Polley on defense, Florida

State still figures to be the favorite for ACC champion based on its abiltity to reload its talent year after year. However, another undefeated record in the ACC could be tough to come by, as redshirt freshman quarterback Chris Rix could fall prey to the same on-the-job learning difficulties that his predecessor, Weinke, experienced in his firstyear as a starter.

If anyone challenges the Seminoles for

ACC supremacy, it is likely to be Georgia Tech, which returns most of its defense, as well as its top passing combination of quarterback George Godsey and wideout Kelly Campbell. While the Yellow Jackets have the potential to post big scores every time they take the field, they must be more proficient on offense than they were in their season opener against an overmatched Syracuse club last weekend.

In that game, coach George O’Leary’s offense appeared anemic after losing offensive coordinator Ralph Friedgen to the head coaching position at Maryland. If the Yellow Jackets can only put up 13 points in a game—like they did against the Orangethen the Seminoles will face little challenge to win the conference again.

The only other team that could contend for the ACC crown is Clemson, which returns the majority of its starting offense from a year ago, most notably its quarterback Woodrow Dantzler and its tailback Travis Zachery. In contrast to Godse/s drop-back-in-the-pocket style, Dantzler excels on the run, as he broke the ACC record for rushing yards by a quarterback last season with 947 yards on the ground.

In addition, Dantzler set his school’s record for total offense yardage with 2, 638 yards. Meanwhile, Zachery complements Dantzler’s versatile game extremely well, finishing second in ACC running yardage last year and already rushing for over 1,000 yards during his career.

While Clemson’s offense features two of the ACC’s most feared names, its defense conjures up little fear, which could keep Clemson from being a serious title contender.

Linebacker Chad Carson completes tackles on a consistent basis, but after him, only linebacker Braxton Williams and defensive tackle Nick Eason have given opposing offenses serious problems.

In similar fashion to Clemson, Virginia returns a few significant offensive players, but has little to speak of defensively. The Cavaliers will count on the ACC’s leading rusher from a year ago, senior tailback

DEFENSIVE OUTLOOK Marquis Hopkins, who recorded 100 tackles last season for the Demon Deacons, will lead the Wake Forest defensive effort. In addition, cornerback Adrian Duncan has proven a worthy pass defender, meaning opposing quarterbacks should be wary of throwing the ball in Duncan's direction.

A Rivers runs through it

Freshman

of the year Philip Rivers looks for another record-breaking season

By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

Despite preseason predictions of mediocrity, last fall N.C. State surprised the ACC and surged to a record of 8-4, including a thrilling 38-30 bowl victory over Minnesota.

The Wolfpack’s success was the product of an explosive passing game, which ranked behind only the Florida State Seminoles as the ACC’s most lethal air attack.

The engineer of State’s dynamic offense returns in the form of quarterback Philip Rivers. Last year, despite competing as a true freshman, Rivers threw for 3,054 yards and 25 touchdowns, while posting an impressive passing rating of 126.9.

Not returning, however, are last season’s two most accomplished wide re-

ceivers, sophomore Koren Robinson and Eric Leak.

Losing Robinson—the ninth overall pick in last spring’s NFL draft—should be especially devastating. A spectacular talent, Robinson left school after only two years, leaving a huge void in the Wolfpack’s pass attack, and forcing Rivers to adjust to life without his favorite target.

“Every year we’re going to face adversity and changes,” the sophomore quarterback said. “We hated he was gone, but there’s nothing you can do about it.”

As he enters his second season, Rivers already envisions significant changes from last year’s offensive game plan.

“We can’t depend on the big plays as much,” Rivers said. “The offense as a

At wide receiver, State will utilize a bevy of wide receivers. Many, however, will have little to no game experience.

Returning veteran Brian Peterson is the only proven commodity.

Nonetheless, Rivers feels confident that he and the mostly unseasoned Wolfpack wideouts have clicked.

“Brian will be a junior this season and the other guys are in my class, so we’re all close,” the sophomore quarterback said. “As early as May we started passing drills, and I think from that point on we kind of meshed as a group.

We understand each other, and I think that will help us down the road.”

whole is going to have to be more patient and have 10 to 15 play drives. It’s going to be interesting going into the season.”

With the departures of Robinson and Leak, one could expect Rivers to feel an increased responsibility to lead State’s offensive unit. In order to compensate for an inexperienced receiving corps, the 19-year-old quarterback might develop a tendency to force throws or try to make plays sin-

gle-handedly.

However, Wolfpack coach Chuck Amato dismissed this notion.

“He’ll be patient because he’s smart,” Amato said.

Amato also expressed little concern regarding the capabilities of his team’s returning wideouts. While acknowledging that replacing the incredibly talented Robinson is an impossibility, Amato thought the performance of his offensive line would be most critical to the offensive unit’s success.

“Our offense is going to be as good as our ability to protect our quarterback,” Amato said. “We’re going to do the same things we did last year. We’ll just hope that [the receivers] can pick up the slack, and we’ll spread it all over the field.”

The Wolfpack’s performance in last Sunday’s intra-squad scrimmage illustrated Amato’s assertion that the offense would exhibit increased diversity. In passing for 337 yards against N.C. State’s first-team defense, Rivers connected with five different receivers for touchdowns.

“I think we’ll be better at the wide receiver spot,” Rivers said. “We don’t have Keren Robinson, but as a whole—tight ends, wide receivers and backs—we’re going to be better.”

Starting at tight end will be senior Willie Wright, who caught 32 balls last season. The sure-handed Wright will be particularly vital when State needs to convert on third downs.

“He’s got great hands, he’s smart and he knows the right routes,” Rivers said.

“We’re on the same page.”

Bunting brings NFL-style mentality to Tar Heel football team After coach Carl Torbush went 17-18 in his three seasons guiding the Tar Heels, the program looked to find a coach with a winning tradition. It succeeded with Bunting, who won the ACC championship with North Carolina in 1971, and more recently, won the Super Bowl as an assistant coach with the St. Louis Rams, “I hope this is the last stop for me,” said Bunting, who coached linebackers for the New Orleans Saints last year. “I might have stayed in the NFL for many more years, but I love this university, and I’m excited about what we can accomplish. I’ve come home.”

Bunting’s only previous head coaching experience was at Division 111 Rowan University, in Glassboro, N. J. He led the Profs for five years, ending his time there with an undefeated regular

By HAROLD GUTMANN The Chronicle

It’s only fitting that coach John Bunting is returning to UNC. There aren’t many Tar Heel fans in Silver Spring, Md., where Bunting was born. But Bunting spurned the Maryland campus located close by and became enchanted with North Carolina and its basketball coach.

“I grew up watching Dean Smith’s teams and I loved how they played like a team, how the players worked together,” Bunting said. “That really captured my attention.”

When UNC offered him a scholarship to play in Chapel Hill in 1969, he said, “There was no way I could turn it down.”

season and a trip to the NCAA semifinals before leaving for the NFL in 1992.

Rowan had never won more than seven games before Bunting’s arrival.

The current UNC players are already impressed with Bunting’s work ethic and dedication.

“He’s a man’s man,” Tar Heel defensive tackle Ryan Sims said. “He’s a feisty coach. He wants to win, and he was a player here. He is someone we can look up to.”

not have as much fun as he would have liked. The team fell behind 41-7 with six minutes still remaining in the first half.

“I've never been in a game like that, and hopefully I’m never in another game like that,” Bunting said. “It was about as frustrating as they can be. All I could hope for was that our guys would continue to play, and they did.”

The Tar Heels reduced the final deficit to 41-27. Bunting was proud of the second-half performance.

“Let’s go out and play this thing like it’s 0-0 and let’s see what we can do,” Bunting said at halftime. “Let’s keep battling this great football team we’re playing and learn more about ourselves.

Let’s get some respect to take home on that plane.”

Was scheduling the game a mistake by the rookie coach, a nationally-televised embarrassment that could cause lasting damage? Or does the second-half performance show the relentless effort and intensity that Bunting hopes is the hallmark ofUNO football under his tenure?

For his part, Bunting has equal praise for his defensive line, featuring firstteam All-ACC selection Julius Peppers.

“I’m not sure if there’s a better defensive line than what we have on our first team,” the coach said. “I think it's hard to picture somebody better than Sims and Peppers and [Joey] Evans and [Will] Chapman up front. That’s a pretty stout group.”

Bunting put his stamp on the program from the moment he got the job, running his preseason drills in the style of an NFL training camp and challenging his team with a season-opening Bunting is hoping the answer will come Saturday against Maryland. For game at No. 3 Oklahoma.

“I think it’s fun to play in a hostile Dick Vermeil, the Rams coach when environment,” Bunting said before the Bunting earned his Super Bowl ring, game. “I think it’s exciting. It’s fun to the answer has already appeared.

“He’s already an outstanding play in front of your own home fans, but I think it's just as exciting to go out and coach,” Vermeil said before the season. play in front of a hostile crowd.”

“He doesn’t have to prove that to me Looking back, Bunting probably did or anybody.”

AL GROH (right) talks to former Cavalier Chris Slade during his hiring press conference in January.

Groh leaves Jets to come back to alma mater, UVa.

By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle

As the 2001 football season opens, the Virginia Cavaliers are attempting to prove you can go home again.

After a disappointing 6-6 campaign last season, UVa. opens the season with a new coach on the sidelines for the first time in 20 years.

In a move that shocked both the NFL and college football worlds, A1 Groh, the coach of the New York Jets last season, decided to abandon professional football for the chance to coach at his alma mater.

“There was not another position that I would have left [the Jets] for,” Groh said. “I feel very humbled that I was invited to come back to the grounds of Thomas Jefferson’s academic village and take a position ofleadership. This is not something I anticipated. It was only through [the university’s efforts] that this happened. If it wasn’t for that determination I wouldn’t be here.”

Groh has long-standing ties to the university. He lettered in both football and lacrosse at Virginia, graduating in 1967. Groh returned to the Cavaliers in 1970 as coach of the freshman team.

The following year he also served as the defensive line coach.

Groh left college football in 1989 for the NFL where he would earn a Super Bowl ring as the linebackers coach of the 1990 Giants and appear in another Super Bowl as defensive coordinator of the New England Patriots Even after Groh left Virginia as a coach, he remained connected to the university as a parent. His son Mike led the Cavaliers to their only nine-win season, and a victory in the Peach Bowl, as the starting quarterback in 1994-1995.

He will join his father as the wide receivers coach this season.

“Myself and my family have a strong [bond] with this university and

the community,” Groh said. “The few people I confided in [when making this decision] thought this was a wonderful situation for us.”

However, Groh was quick to note that he didn’t take this job to sit back and enjoy living in scenic Charlottesville.

“We want to compete at the highest level,” he said. “[We want to] compete on the national level and compete for the national championship. I have a pretty

good idea what it takes to compete on that level.”

In order to compete with the powerhouses of Division 1-A football, a coaching staff must install an effective system, and get the players to run that system.

Any time a pro coach makes the transition to college in either football or bas-

ketball, there are concerns as to whether that coach can swallow their pride to do all the things necessary to get the best players.

Groh does not believe he will have trouble with the transition from dealing with Bryan Cox to convincing an 18year old’s mother that he will make sure her son will go to class.

“I think the single most important thing that I’ve seen in 34 years in this sport is that recruiting has almost become a separate sport,” Groh said. “I have a sign in the meeting room for the coaches that says, ‘Coaches with schemes but without talent quickly become the coaches ofunimportant teams.’

We want to be an important team. So, it’s important to get good players.”

While Groh is ready to adjust to the demands of recruiting, he has no plans to adjust what he does on the field.

“It took me 34 years to put the blueprint together,” Groh said. “We know that our way works. I just coach players.

I coached the same way in the pros that I did in college. I will do the same things here that I’ve always done.”

To aid him in running that system, Groh has brought an impressive group of assistants with him to UVa. Offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave held the same position last season with the Carolina Panthers. Assistant head coach Dan Rocco spent last season as a defensive assistant and linebackers coach of the Jets, and defensive coordinator A1 Golden spent last season as linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator for Penn State.

Groh stated that shared vision, rather than credentials, played the primary role in the hirings.

“Bill Parcels, who’s been a great friend, he said in a press conference a year ago that [the Jets] were a tribe,” Groh said. “I’m not looking for subcontractors, I’m looking to put together a tribe. I want people who believe in the system under which we are going to run this tribe.”

Bryant’s increased confidence bodes well for Duke offense v

BRYANT from page 5 Another positive for Bryant as he enters his junior season is new quarterbacks coach Jim Pry. According to head coach Carl Franks, Bryant and others, Pry has been working wonders with the quarterback in the offseason, and if the Blue Devils newfound ability to catch the ball remains, the airborne attack from a couple years ago may be back in full swing.

Pry also has had good things to say about his starting man.

“Without question, he’s absolutely got

more confidence, which comes from the repetition and being in the games already,” Pry said. “He’s comfortable with the offense, and I think he’s taken the step of plugging the offense into the de-

fense, which he couldn’t do last year because he was inexperienced and young.”

However, the big issue for Bryant still remains in his quarterbacking, and throwing and catching the ball in the correct place.

“Once you watch film and Coach Franks or the quarterbacks coach says, ‘That’s where it needs to be,’ then there’s nothing you can do about that,” Bryant said. “If that’s where the ball needs to be, and he dropped it, then there’s nothing I can do about that.

“It doesn’t bother me. All I can say is ‘Go out and catch the next one.’”

It’s that type ofattitude that got Duke through the last season, and coming from their offensive leader, will only make the team and Bryant that much better.

Duke defense hopes hard tackling practice will pay off OPTIMISM from page 4 we dropped,” Franks said of Duke’s receiving woes in 2000. “Many times we got guys open, we got the ball there, and we just lacked the concentration. Maybe we lacked the experience in making those catches.

I’ll tell you, though, the receivers have been doing very well in preseason.

“I’m very encouraged with the work that they’ve done. They seem to have a better grasp of some of the passing schemes we’re doing, they’re running well after they catch it, so there’s a lot of enthusiasm with them and with me that I think we’re not going to have that trend this season.”

Besides having trouble catching the ball, another disturbing trend for the Blue Devils last season was their poor tackling on the defensive side of the pigskin. Time after time, members of the opponents’ offense would break open a play that would have been dead at the line of scrimmage had the Duke defender done his job.

Therefore, the Blue Devil defensive unit worked non-stop in the offseason to improve its tackling, a point of emphasis they hope will carry over into its future games.

The linebackers, in particular, have focused on bettering their tackling, as standout sophomore Ryan Fowler, returning inside linebacker Jamyon Small, and 24-year-old freshman Jim Scharrer have gone back to the basics.

“Tackling is absolutely the most important thing,” Fowler said. “We messed up so many times last year tackling that we needed to just go back to the fundamentals. Once we better our fundamentals, every-

thing will fall into place from there.”

Despite the optimism, Franks has admitted throughout the preseason that there are still many aspects of the game that his team has not yet mastered. For instance, he would like to see his team limit the number of turnovers it is prone to commit, as well as for his defense to have the ability to create turnovers by the opposing offense. Furthermore, Franks still believes that both his offensive and defensive players are missing too many assignments, which could be dangerous when Duke takes the field this weekend against perennial power Florida State, among other formidable opponents.

But all in all, the Blue Devils feel good about their progress and are excited to get the season underway.

Tm extremely optimistic, partially because, in my mind, I know we’re going to be a better team and also because everyone else is so optimistic,” Fowler said. “It’s a really contagious thing around here right now. It’s just really rubbing off on everybody.”
