House plan frustrates county � The proposed state budget plan would allow counties to increase sales taxes by half a cent, but it would eliminate reimbursements.

Rice survives last-minute Duke drive

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

HOUSTON, Tex. Rice stole its president, Malcolm Gillis, a former dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, from Duke in 1993.

Duke stole its last football coach, Fred Goldsmith, from Rice in 1994.

Saturday night, however, Rice (2-0) stole a 15-13 win right out of Duke’s hands, defeating the Blue Devils (0-2, 01 in the ACC) at Rice Stadium, the Owls’ first-ever win against Duke in the five-game series.

“We played well enough to win the football game,” said Duke coach Carl Franks.

“Mistakes cost us the game,” he said.

Up until the end, Duke looked poised to win. “This one hurt,” said quarterback D. Bryant. “We were really confident we’d come out and get a win today.”

With 4:43 left remaining in the game, Duke was down 15-7. A 38-yard punt return by Ronnie Hamilton put the Blue Devils at Rice’s 37-yard line.

Three downs later, Duke was at Rice’s 31-yard line, needing four yards to continue the drive.

A 13-yard completion to Reggie Love saved the day, only to be fumbled and precariously recovered by Ben Erdeljac. A subsequent 12-yard penalty on Rice for interference sent Duke to the four-yard line.

On third down, after a timeout,

Bryant passed the ball to Nick Brzezinski for the touchdown, bringing Duke within two points of Rice with only 1:36 remaining.

Duke promptly attempted a two-

point conversion, essentially the same play as the touchdown play. Bryant lined up behind center, called the signals and five seconds later, it was over.

It was not clear if it was a dropped snap, whether it was the center’s fault, the quarterback’s fault or the line’s fault. But it was over, nonetheless.

“I came out a little bit too quickly,” Bryant said. “Everything gets a little faster at the five-yard line. [We were supposed to] run a drag, similar to the See RICE in SpOftSWiap page 6 �

As the North Carolina General Assembly struggles to make ends meet, members of the Durham County Board of Commissioners are complaining that the state is solving its budget dilemma by simply transferring the financial burden to counties.

The tax plan, which passed the House of Representatives in August and is currently under consideration in the Senate, calls for the state to end payment of $333 million in reimbursements to counties—s6.s million of which would be due Durham County.

The state would give counties the option to raise sales taxes by a half cent to compensate for the loss.

The reimbursements are a form of transfer payments to the counties begun in the early ’9os to compensate for the state eliminating counties’ intangibles tax.

“It basically is no option for us—when we lose that kind of money, we are forced to raise the tax,” said Ellen Reekhow, vice chair of the county board.

Reckhow added that unless lawmakers make sure the budget is carefully worded, the county could actually lose money because it must share sales tax revenue with the city.

Duke police report drop in crime Police department attributes decrease to a variety of factors

crimes dropped the larceny, tresaccording to staUniversity Police

Department.

According to the statistics, there were 2,080 crimes reported on campus or at the Medical Center in 2000, a 10.4 percent decline over the previous year. The decrease resulted from a combination of factors rather than any specific strategy, said DUPD spokesperson Maj. Robert Dean.

“Criminal statistics, when they go down or go up—it’s hard to pinpoint one particular thing,” he said.

Among the crimes with the biggest percentage drops were larceny from cars—which fell from 194 to 118, or 39.2 percent—and actual motor vehicle

thefts—which plummeted from 23 to 10, or 56.5 percent. Dean attributed the drops to a variety of factors, including the fall 2000 creation of the Blue Zone undergraduate parking lot with increased security.

“The more secure an area can get and be, it helps to reinforce and help with prevention,” Dean said. “It’s also the crime prevention tips on how to secure your vehicle, alarms being secured on more vehicles, The Club, people getting arrested and sent away and more awareness.”

Traffic violations, which increased from 246 to 282, or 14.6 percent, were among the few criminal activities with increased reports. Dean said the rise probably reflected increased incidents, not any new strategy or more policing,

The overall drop in reported offenses was especially concentrated among the most frequently reported

Trainspotting -

NAHARIYA, Israel Israel suffered a jackhammer series of terrorist blows Sunday that the police and senior government officials said included the first suicide bombing ever committed by an Arab who was an

Israeli citizen.

Violence flared in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and in this surfside northern town, and even its toll of eight dead, including three implicated in the attacks, and scores wounded, understated its psychological impact on a nation that had already begun awakening each morning wondering where the next bomb would go off, and who would deliver it.

Witnesses said it was a small man carrying a large box down a bustling railway platform at the start of Israel’s work week. “He looked like he needed [help],” recalled Elroey Abuhatzira, describing from his hospital bed how he passed a man he believed to be the bomber, wearing blue jeans and a checked shirt and carrying a box the

size of a videocassette recorder, moments before the explosion.

The platform was crowded with soldiers going off to duty or returning home. Three people besides the bomber died in the attack, and at least 71, both Jews and Arabs, were wounded, most, like Abuhatzira, not seriously.

Police identified the bombing suspect as Muhammad Saker Habashi,

55, an Israeli Arab from the nearby

village of Abu Snan, where he was said to have once run for local office.

Although his Arab neighbors expressed horror and disgust at the at-

tack, the news was likely to inflame suspicions among Jews of the Palestinians in their midst, particularly coming after an attempted bombing

by Arab-Israeli youths last week.

“It’s the nightmare of Israeli Jews coming true, that the Arabs in Israel would become in-house terrorists,” said liana Kaufman, a political scientist who studies Arabs in Israel.

Kaufman said it would take only a handful of extremists to make the nightmare seem real to many of her countrymen.

Parties scramble to rekindle economy

By RICHARD STEVENSON New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON As the economy takes on a recessionary tone and the political stakes rise, the two parties are scrambling to come up with proposals to rekindle prosperity, with Democrats and Republicans alike saying Sunday that further tax cuts are possible if the deterio-

ration continues.

Urged on by Republicans in Congress who are nervous that an extended downturn could harm their election prospects in 2002, President George W. Bush is considering such responses as cutting spending to keep the budget balanced or cutting capital gains taxes to give Wall Street a boost.

Administration officials said the president had not decided to back any particular proposal. They said he believed

lALA

that previous steps, including the tax cut he signed in June, should spark a recovery before long. If that does not happen, they said, he may eventually seek further actions.

“We need to let the president’s tax cut, as well as the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts, take full effect,” said Jennifer Millerwise, a White House spokesperson.

“But the president also hasn’t closed the door on any further tax cuts.”

The politics of handling the economy has shifted rapidly just since Friday, when the government reported that unemployment last month surged to 4.9 percent from 4.5 percent in July.

Democrats are seeking to blame Bush for the economy.

They link the slowdown in growth and the rise in unemployment to their argument that he squandered the federal budget surplus by pushing through an irresponsible tax cut.

The other student was struck in the back ofhis head with a closed fist and was thrown to the ground. The students said they fled their assailants and contacted DUPD. They were treated for their injuries at the Emergency "

Department.

Campus police located the four men at the West Campus bus stop.

They charged 18-year-old Adam Ross Leach of the U.S. Army base at Ft. Bragg N.C. with simple assault and placed him under $1,500 secured bond. They charged 24-year-old Matthew David Messinger, also of the U.S. Army base at Ft. Bragg N.C., with simple assault and injury to personal property—the victim’s eye-

glasses—and placed him under $2,500 secured bond. Neither Leach nor Messinger could be reached for comment.

Several Student Affairs administrators said Sunday afternoon that they had not yet heard about the incident.

Midway Airlines cancels several flights out ofRDU

By RYAN WILLIAMS The Chronicle

Travelers used to flying Midway Airlines may be surprised the next time they plan a trip out of Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

Midway, a regional carrier, recently discontinued five routes from RDU, its hub and headquarters, to northern U.S. cities and is planning to cancel four more routes in the near future. Flight frequency to other destinations has also been decreased, as the company attempts to scale back the total number of flights leaving the airport. These cutbacks coincide with Midway’s Aug. 14

lie flights to Birmingham, Ala., Los Angeles, Providence, R.1., and San Jose, Calif. According to Midway’s website, customers who held tickets on those

flights will be refunded or accommodated on another flight.

The route cancellations stem from Midway’s efforts to cut costs in light of their recent declaration of Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which allows the corporation to restructure its business practices in hopes of eventually turning a profit.

The airline has already ceased operation of 17 aircraft and immediately laid off 700 employees, reducing its total workforce by almost 50 percent. filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

County commissioners debate association’s intent � SALES TAX from page 1 Becky Heron, another county commissioner agreed, saying it was unfair that the state’s budget difficulties might hurt the county. “Somebody is obviously not minding the books over in Raleigh, so what they do is come down on the backs of counties, which is not right,” she said.

Rep. Mickey Michaux, D-Durham, said the sales tax-reimbursement swap would help counties. “This would help them make up [for lost reimbursements] and plus give them a little bit extra.”

Rep. Paul Luebke, D-Durham, agreed with Michaux. He said that he was confident the General Assembly would pass an agreement ensuring the counties would not lose revenue in the short term.

He added that by July 2002, he expects sales tax revenues will surpass what Durham would have received in reimbursements.

Luebke also said he is confused by county commissioners’ opposition to the plan. “This swap, a local option sales tax, was requested by the North Carolina Association of Counties,” he said.Tm surprised now to have the county commissioners not happy with the proposal because they knew that their association was making this offer to us.”

Luebke explained that the state association of counties had argued that a sales tax would offer the counties a steadier income stream than reimbursements.

“That was the argument that we as-

ber of services she said the county was

now responsible for.

The county is responsible for funding education and hoped for a larger revenue stream to fund infrastructure

improvements.

Vernon Malone, a Wake County com-

missioner, said that although the state association of counties did request both to keep the reimbursements and to be given the option to raise sales taxes, the package was never likely.

“All along it was obvious that the sales taxes would replace the reimbursements.

It would be a real coup if the state were to continue to give the reimbursements and [allow the counties to implement] a tax that they desperately needed for themselves,” he said.

Wilßec suspect charged: A visitor reported that at 6:17 p.m. Aug. 14 he walked into the Wilson Recreation Center locker room and saw someone going through his locker, Dean said. The padlock to the locker had been pried open. When the subject realized that the victim was observing him, the subject left the area. Nothing had been stolen.

Subsequent investigation led to the identification and Sept. 5 arrest of the subject, 38-year-old Thomas Lee Wilson of 718 Hancock St. The subject is a Duke Hospital housekeeping employee, who was charged with attempted larceny and injury to personal property—the victim’s lock.

The state did not actually pay the counties reimbursements this year, forcing Durham County to invoke a hiring freeze and halt all non-essential expenses.

But Joe Bowser, a county commissioner, said that the counties wanted the sales tax for additional revenues, not just a more certain income stream.

“It appears to me that the state of North Carolina did not understand what the counties were seeking. We were seeking sales tax to get additional revenues,” he said.

Reckhow added that Durham had not expected to lose the reimbursements, but wanted an additional one-cent sales tax increase on all non-grocery purchases to compensate for the increased num-

The Panthers were boosted by a 93-yard kickoff return by Steve Smith to start the game and never looked back. Carolina blanked the Vikings 10-0 in the first half and contained Minnesota's lethal receiving duo of Chris Carter and Randy Moss just enough to hold on for the victory.

Women’s soccer splits 2 games in Carolina Classic

BY NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

Duke 1 The women’s soccer team achieved mixed results in 0 this weekend’s Nike CarUNC-C olina Classic, losing Friday evening’s opener 5-1 to No. 8 Penn State, but then rebounding

with

a

1-0

victory

over

UNC-Charlotte.

Both games featured one team with a clear athletic superiority over the other. On Friday, the taller, faster Nittany Lions showcased their physical edge by outshooting the Blue Devils 20-5, and controlling the flow of play.

Penn State junior Christine Welsh scored three goals and added an assist. When asked to pick the contest’s deciding factor, she immediately pointed to her team’s athleticism, which she said compensated for early organizational confusion.

“I think our athletic ability is what got us through the first half, to be honest,” the 5-foot-10 Welsh said. “I don’t think we played very well [as a team], but our athletic ability helped us in the beginning.”

Duke coach Robbie Church reiterated the assessment of Penn State’s marquee player.

“They’re bigger, stronger and quicker than we are,” Church said. “We trained during the week to [compensate] for that, but we did not do a good job executing.”

The absence ofThora Helgadottir—Duke’s usual starting goalkeeper—further hindered the Blue Devils. An Iceland native, Helgadottir returned to her home country to play for her national team. Thus, freshman Katie Straka made her debut in goal for Duke.

“Katie did as well as she can,” Church said. “It was a tough situation to put her in.”

Brigid Bowdell and Sarah Pickens combined on Duke’s lone goal. Bowdell, an early substitution in the first half, split two Penn State defenders and fired a shot on net. After deflecting off the foot of a Nittany Lion and the left goal post, the ball landed next to Pickens, who buried it past goalkeeper Emily Oleksiuk.

Pickens’ goal at 17:42 temporarily knotted the game at 1-1. However, Duke could not remain close, as Penn State added three more first half tallies to put the game out of reach.

Unfortunately for Duke, in addition to losing the game, the Blue Devils also lost Pickens—last season’s leading scorer—to injury. The junior suffered a bone bruise to her

left knee, and will likely miss several games The Blue Devils returned to Fetzer Field Sunday, and experienced a reversal ofroles.

Duke (2-2) outshot UNCC (0-2-1) 19-4, and utilized superior conditioning to snap a two-

game losing streak.

“I thought we were a lot more fit than they were, because of our preseason training,” Duke freshman Casey McCluskey said. “We were waiting for them to crack.”

Despite a clear edge in time of possession and scoring opportunities, the Blue Devils couldn’t convert until the game’s 67th minute. McCluskey broke the tie by firing a laser beam past 49er goaltender Jenn Howell into the net’s lower right hand corner.

Filling in for the injured Pickens, McCluskey performed exceptionally well. In addition to scoring the game-winning goal, the freshman also blasted a first-half shot off the cross bar, and regularly knifed through Charlotte defenders.

“It was really fun to be out there,” McCluskey said. “That was my first goal, so it was really exciting.”

McCluskey teamed with sophomore Gwendolyn Oxenham to generate several excellent chances. The duo clicked particularly well in the second half. McCluskey’s performance, in particular, elicited high praise from her coach.

“Casey’s got a load of talent, especially offensively,” Church said. “She can slice people.

She can strike a ball; she’s very dangerous.”

Oxenham dominated at times on the wing, beating multiple defenders off the dribble and repeatedly setting up her teammates with excellent crosses. The sophomore is still adjusting to her position as left midfielder, a role in which her team desperately needs her to excel.

“We’ve been taking the ball too many times down the middle of the field,” Church said. “We’ve got to get the ball to the flank, [where] we’ve got players who can beat opponents one-on-one.

UNC-G went on to win the game on the next point and Ashley Harris, Duke’s leading hitter with 13 kills in the match, was disappointed after losing the game.

“I think the third game we made a lot of errors, Harris said. “During the break we realized we’re a better team than this team.”

The Duke volleyball team continued its tear through the early portion of the season with three wins over the weekend to capture the Duke Classic championship. All three victories were convincing, and coach Jolene Nagel was pleased with the team’s overall performance.

“All weekend, different players excelled, which helped us keep our opponents offbalance, Nagel said.

The Blue Devils opened up Friday night against Duquesne with a 3-0 win. All three games were hard-fought, but Duke ended up victorious each time. Junior Rachel Vander Griend led the team in kills with 14 while setter Arielle Linderman dished out 41 assists during the 30-25, 30-22

”

Devils came out and dominated the fourth game 30-17. Dill, who had 30 kills during the weekend, was worried about the Blue Devils’ communication during the match.

“I think that we were a little quiet and you can’t be quiet, especially in volleyball, Dill said. “We just need to play on our side of the net and play our game.”

With its 3-1 victory over UNCand 30-25 wins.

RICE RUNNING BACK JAMIE TYLER led the Owls with 44 rushing yards on the evening.

Crucial mistakes halt Duke’s victory attempt � RICE from page I play we scored a touchdown on. But we didn’t get to run it.”

Duke was set to take the lead at the end of the first half. With Rice leading 9-7, the Blue Devils triumphantly marched down the field toward the Rice goal line. A 22-yard Chris Douglas kickoff return

capped off the drive. Bryant engineered steady progress through the next seven plays, pulling Duke to the Rice 29 yard line on a series of short passes and Douglas runs. A 22-yard pass to Reggie Love brought Duke within seven yards of the endzone.

Two running plays brought Duke four yards closer, but an incomplete pass to Brzezinski left Duke scrambling at fourth-and-goal. Franks sent the special teams in to collect what appeared to be an easy field goal—and the lead—but a bad snap with 44 seconds remaining in the half ended in a fumble and a Rice recovery.

Rice, holding a lead at halftime, came into the second half passing the ball, stifling Duke’s defense, which held the Owls to only 75 rushing yards in the first half. Two 15-yard passes from Rice quarterback Kyle Herm, first to Gilbert Okoronkwo and then to Brandon Manning, quickly moved the Owls from their own 36-yard line to the endzone.

“In the second half, they made some adjustments,” Hamilton said, acknowledging that the Owls’ passing game threw the Blue Devils off. “It’s like a chess match. We make adjustments; they make adjust-

ments. We’ve got to be able to stop them, able to put them.”

Three minutes and 36 seconds into the half, Rice secured the lead it would hold for the rest of the game.

The Owls’ first drive of the first quarter, effectively ran the ball right through Duke’s defense, to take a 6-0 lead only 5:15 into the game.

Duke, however, began to contain Rice’s running game by the end of the first quarter, Nate Krill and Matt Zielinski sacked Rice quarterback Kyle Berm twice in one drive for a combined loss of seven yards.

The Blue Devils used that momentum to malm a 67-yard touchdown drive at the beginning' of the second quarter, highlighted by a 12-yard pass to Ben, Erdeljac and a 33-yard pass to Galen Powell, a redshirt freshman tight end, which brought Duke from the 38-yard line to first-and-goal at the five-yard line.

Bryant handed off the ball to Chris Douglas, who led Duke in running yardage Saturday night with 112 yards, on the next play for the score. Brent Garber’s extra point attempt was good, and Duke took a tenupressure on

Rice hit a field goal with 6:17 remaining in the half, giving the Owls a 9-7 lead, before the Blue Devils’ ill-fated 67-yard drive at the end of the half.

Hamilton said after the game that Franks told the team the season is only two games old and that the

team played well.

“The coaches have got to help them find away to hang in there together,” Franks said. ‘They’re a group

of very, very disappointed young men right now.”

s of ball, but lose 15-13 in nailbiter against Rice HOUSTON, Tex. It would be all too easy to say Duke blew it.

Rice, wedged in between two battles between two Bowdens, was the shining beacon. It was supposed to be the shot in the arm for the football team, the game on the schedule that was easily the most winnable.

Saturday night, however, that plan went terribly awry as the Blue Devils’ first win of the millenium slipped away.

It is undeniable that Duke football in 2001 is much improved from Duke football in 2000. Jim Scharrer, Nate Krill and B.J. Hill join sophomore star Ryan Fowler to form the defense’s Fab Four. The first three were not even

around in 2000.

In Houston, the defense allowed only two touchdowns. The first came when Rice first held possession of the ball, before Duke had a chance to adjust to the run. The second came in the early part of the second half when Rice, stymied by the Blue Devils’ defense, slipped into the endzone by passing the ball. That’s acceptable enough—the silver lining is that the defense proved it could adapt to prevent mistakes.

Kevin Lees Game Commentary

ROBERT TAI/THE CHRONICLE

D. BRYANT prepares to throw the ball in Saturday’s first half,

Rice, known for its rushing prowess more than for its passing ability, had possession of the ball longer than Duke did, making each Duke drive even more vital.

Quarterback D. Bryant is confident, athletic and talented. He’s got a great running back in Chris Douglas, a small speedy guy who can find more holes than a mole. He’s got a much improved receiving corps in Reggie Love, Ben Erdeljac, Mike Hart and Kyle Moore.

Both Douglas and Love had careerrecord games Saturday evening.

Yet the loss to the Owls, Duke’s 14th in a row, makes the Blue Devils just one defeat away from tying the school’s consecutive losing streak. Hope is grim that Duke can steal a win at Death Valley next weekend, and it is equally grim that the Blue Devils can upset Northwestern, the favorites to win the Big Ten, potentially locking Duke into the kind of mental funk that leads to more 0-11 seasons. Rice was on the schedule for Duke to win—and the loss is a serious mental setback for the Blue Devils.

Carl Franks said the game was winnable, that the team played well enough to win, and yet his team is on the brink of surpassing the official nadir of Duke football. While the team truly is on the rise, the mistakes that resulted in this weekend’s loss threaten to negate all the progress Franks and his team have made.

He blamed the loss on a handful of mistakes, from turnovers and fumbles to bad snaps and dropped balls. It’s so painfully simple—you make mistakes, and you make enough of them, you lose games.

Two weeks ago, a handful of special teams’ snafus snuffed out Duke’s 6-0

CHRIS DOUGLAS attempts to break the tackle of a Rice defender during the second half

lead over Florida State. A couple of mistakes put the Seminoles up by 10, then 20, then finally up to a 55-13 win.

Last weekend, however, those little mistakes cost Duke its win.

It all went downhill from the last drive of the first half. An incomplete pass transformed a potential touchdown into a potential field goal. A bad snap transformed a potential field

goal into nothing. Stupid mistake “We’d had trouble with that the last two games,” Bryant said. “Maybe that kick was enough to win the game.”

Three minutes and 51 seconds into the second half, a 14-yard pass to Love resulted in a fumble and Rice recovery.

Stupid mistake.

On the next play, luckily for the Blue Devils, the Owls’ quarterback, Kyle Herm, fumbled the ball himself, and Krill recovered the ball.

At the end of the game, after Duke scored its llth-hour touchdown, an attempt to tie the game with a two-point conversion failed after Bryant dropped the snap. Stupid mistake.

“I was trying to figure out if we could get a two-point play,” Franks said. “I knew we’d get the ball back if [Rice] didn’t get a first down.”

And at the tail end of the game, when Duke was trying to engineer an 80-yard drive in 40 seconds—Bryant had succeeded in moving 27 yards in 10 seconds after two passes to Love and Hart—a sloppy pass from Bryant resulted in his only interception of the game. Stupid mistake.

None of those mistakes were crippling, nor were they indicators of any deeper problems, except for, perhaps, lingering doubts over the inexperience and youth of the Blue Devils’ special teams.

Yet each and every one of those mistakes prevented Duke from scoring in some fashion or another.

All Duke needed was two more points and one less mistake.

Notes: Alex Wade, a senior fullback, left the game after receiving a shoulder injury in the first half. At game’s end, Franks did not know what the short-term or the long-term outlook for Wade was..,. Love caught a career-high 91 yards, while Douglas rushed for a career-high 112 yards.... This was Duke’s first loss to Rice in the five-game series with the Owls—the Blue Devils last played Rice in 1992.

Duke’s undefeated streak Bonds passes old Maris record ends with loss to Louisville with 3 homers versus Rockies � After avenging their loss of last season to Michigan State earlier in the weekend, the Blue Devils fell to the Cardinals 2-1.

By CHRISTINA PETERSEN The Chronicle

Louisville

Going into this week-

end, only two of the top Duke 1 10 teams in the nation were undefeated.

While No. 1 North Carolina sur-

prised no one with its stellar 3-0 record, ninth-ranked Duke’s matching wins did not go unnoticed.

Unfortunately for the Blue Devils (4-1), Louisville (4-1) took notice, and the Cardinals made it their mission to do what no team, including sixthranked Michigan State, had been able to: defeat Duke.

In the finals of their own tournament at Trager Stadium Sunday, the Cardinals handed the Blue Devils their first loss of the season, 2-1, shutting down the Duke offense in the second half.

“We scored first, but we couldn’t sustain our attack,” coach Liz Tchou said.

“Louisville penetrated our middle and dominated us.”

Louisville’s Danielle Barr and Pip Sanders scored for the Cardinals in the second half, including Sanders’ reversestick chip shot with 5:29 remaining in the game. Sanders led the Louisville attack in the second stanza, as Louisville outshot Duke 10-4 overall.

The afternoon started well for the Blue Devils when freshman Johanna Bischof scored her fourth career goal and team-leading 10th point with 25 minutes remaining in the half. It would be Duke’s only score of the day.

“We got our first goal and were a bit complacent,” senior forward Liz Bateman said. “We sat on the lead when we should have been attacking.”

Before facing Louisville, though, Duke began the weekend with a bang, downing Michigan State (3-2), 1-0.

It was a matchup the Blue Devils had been waiting for since last season, when Duke lost to the Spartans 2-1. A more physical team than Duke, Michigan State fought to penetrate the Blue Devils’ circle, but never found the back of the net.

“Michigan State is a team you love to beat and hate to lose to,” senior back Angie North said. “I think we conquered morally and beat them with sound

teamwork.”

Unlike the Louisville matchup, one Blue Devil goal was sufficient for the win, as Bischof assisted classmate Grade Sorbello on the game winner with 6:35 remaining in the first half. The goal was Sorbello’s first of the season and marked Bischofs second assist of the year.

So far this season, Bischof has either scored or assisted on a goal in every game. Her early success bodes well for the Blue Devils, whose improved team play continually allows the Canadian sharpshooter to find the back of the net.

Goalie Hallie Smith also recorded her second shutout in four games against Michigan State and tallied four saves against Louisville.

“These first five games have been preparation for the ACC tournament,” Tchou said. “We’ve now had experiences to fight and stay strong. We just have to learn from our losses, as well as learn from our wins.”

Duke will open ACC play this Friday against Wake Forest at 7 p.m. on the East Campus Turf.

Cross country races to victory at Fordham Invitational

By CATHERINE SULLIVAN The Chronicle

For the second consecutive year, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams were victorious at the Fordham Invitational.

The teams are apparently equally as strong as they have been in the past. The victory in the Bronx was the sixth in as many years for the men’s squad, who recorded only 27 points while easily topping second-place LaSalle University (72 points). Harvard, which traditionally boasts a strong lineup, finished in a distant third place with 101 points.

“I was pleased with the results because both the men and women have been running high mileage recently and have not done a lot of speedwork,” women’s coach Jan Ogilvie-Samuelson said. “Both teams were competing for the first time this year, and we both used the meet to find out where we are as a team.”

Leading the way for the men was senior Sean Kelly, who won the race for the second consecutive year. His time of 25:52 was two seconds faster than his winning pace last year.

Kelly had a lot of company from his teammates at the top of the pack, as a total of five Blue Devils finished in the top-10 spots. Freshman Nick Schneider finished in third place, four seconds behind Kelly with a time of 25:56, while fellow freshmen Robert Smitson (26:16) and Michael Hatch (26:28) placed sixth and 10th, respectively. Also placing in the top 10 was junior Jared Moore (26:19), who crossed the line in the seventh position.

The team performed well without two of its top runners, senior Jay Champi and sophomore Chris Williams. Both were held out of the race while nursing minor injuries

As well as the men ran, the women also turned in an impressive performance, with all 16 runners finishing ahead of half the field.

The race was highlighted by first- and third-place finishes from freshmen Paige Miller (18:16) and Paris Edwards (18:34).

Miller, the Pennsylvania state champion last year, was pleased with her performance, but realized that she will see much tougher competition later in the season.

“I knew this wouldn’t be the most competitive race,” Miller said. “But I wanted to run my best and build from there. This was nice for my first race.”

Three other Blue Devils also finished toward the top of the pack. Senior captain Katie Atlas finished in fifth place with a time of 18:54, while junior Ali Hoffman came in eighth place with 19:01. Freshman Pheobe Ko also cracked the top 10 with a time of 19:04.

Ogilvie-Samuelson was particularly pleased with the effort of Atlas, who won the race last year in a time of 18:58, four seconds slower than her pace this year.

“Katie really led by example out there,” Ogilvie-Samuelson said. “She had an ankle injury in August and was studying hard for the MCATs. For her to come out and run this well was very impressive.”

Absent from the race was two-time All American junior Sheela Agrawal, who did not race due to a minor injury.

“It wouldn’t make sense to run any men or women who aren’t 100 percent, because the races don’t count towards NCAAs until the end of September,” Ogilvie-Samuelson said. “Also, we don’t want our runners to peak until NCAAs in November, and this race allowed us to get some competition while we’re still training.”

Men’s golf finishes in fifth place at Badger Invitational

By ANDREW GREENFIELD The Chronicle

The Duke men’s golf team opened its fall season this weekend with a fifth-place finish at the Badger Invitational held at the par-72, 6,888-yard University Ridge Golf Course in Madison, Wise.

Toledo won the event with a three-round total of 853, 11-under par, setting a tournament record for team score. Wisconsin’s Jon Turcott took medalist honors with rounds of 69-68-70 —207, nine-under-par.

The Blue Devils were led by junior Leif Olson, who fired rounds of 74-71-71—216, even-par, to finish in a tie for 13th place. The Golden, Colo, nativegot off to a great start in the first round with birdies on the first two holes, but a triple bogey on the fourth hurt his chances for posting a low score.

“We didn’t play too badly, we just didn’t make enough putts,” coach Rod Myers said. “No one played a poor tournament, but I was not overly excited about our play either.”

After dodging predicted heavy rains for the first 36 holes on the first day, which led to good scoring conditions, the rains came for almost all of the final round Sunday. The Blue Devils, however, played very well in the rain and posted the second-lowest score of the final round with a two-over-par 290.

“We played really solid in the final round,” Myers said. “It took a real long time to play [over six hours] and the greens were saturated, but we hung in there.”

For the Blue Devils to be successful this year, senior MattKrauss must regain his form from last fall, when he finished in the top-10 in four out of five tournaments.

In the spring season, Krauss struggled, never finishing better than tied for 12th place.

This weekend, the Dumfries, Va. native fired rounds of 73-73-72—218, two-over-par, and in a tie for 20th place. Krauss played solid golf all weekend, but like the rest of the team, was burning a lot of edges with the putter.

“Matt put too much pressure on himself academically last season,” Myers said. “He is much sharp-

out there.”

Senior Brandon LaCroix, coming off a summer which included qualifying for the match-play portion of the U.S. Amateur, shot rounds of 73-74-76—223 to finish in a tie for 41st place.

“We are replacing two seniors who graduated, but we are capable of filling those spots,” Myers said.

“However, it will still be up to Matt, Brandon and Leif to play well and take some of the pressure off the younger guys.”

Sophomore Mike Castleforte, playing in his first tournament of his Duke career, played solid golf throughout the event, especially in the first and third rounds. Castleforte shot rounds of 72-76-72 220 to finish in a tie for 29th place.

—

Sophomore Bobby Castor rebounded from a fourover par 76 in the first round to fire a two-under 70 in the second. Castor finished with a three-round total of 221 and a tie for 33rd place.

“We are going to use this as a base and go from there,” Myers said. “I was encouraged by the solid play by all five guys, especially the younger guys.”

Twenty-year-old Aussie, Hewitt, denies Sampras sth Open title After defeating three former U.S. Open champions, Pete Sampras succumbed to speedy Australian Lleyton Hewitt in the finals, 7-6 (4), 6-1,6-1.

By STEVEN WINE

The Associated Press

NEW YORK The Pete Sampras of old, who tore through a daunting draw at the U.S. Open, merely looked like an old Pete Sampras in Sunday’s final against young Lleyton Hewitt.

While Sampras was tentative and lethargic, Hewitt seemed to run down every shot and coolly ripped one winner after another to earn his first Grand Slam title, 7-6 (4), 6-1, 6-1.

The final was Hewitt’s first and Sampras’ 17th, but the less experienced 20-year-old Australian was much more energetic. After consecutive wins against former champions Pat Rafter, Andre Agassi and Marat Safin, Sampras appeared to have nothing left for his second match in barely 24 hours.

While Hewitt was more relentless than a ball machine, Sampras had just five winners and 38 unforced errors. He won only half the points when he went to the net as Hewitt passed him with increasing ease.

The rout was reminiscent of Sampras’ loss to the young Safin in last year’s final and is certain to renew talk of his decline, despite the impressive run to the finals.

Although Sampras, 30, bristles at retirement speculation and says he wants to play at least another five years, it’s increasingly evident he can’t sustain his former level through a two-week tournament.

This is the first year since 1992 he has failed to win a major championship. He has gone 18 tournaments without a title since Wimbledon in 2000, when he broke the record for men’s Grand Slam singles titles with No. 13.

For the second year in a row, he came up one win shy of a record-tying fifth Open men’s title.

One thing Sampras can still do is size up an opponent. He has long been among Hewitt’s biggest boosters, touting him as a future Grand Slam champ, and now the tenacious golden-haired retriever has made the breakthrough.

He’s the youngest Open men’s champion since Sampras won his first major title 11 years ago at age 19.

“The kid is so quick it’s unbelievable,” Sampras said. “I wish I had some of those legs for this old guy. I lost to a great champion. You’re going to see this Lleyton Hewitt guy for the next 10 years like you saw me.”

The No. 4-seeded Hewitt earned $850,000, and the victory may give his reputation a much-needed boost Down Under. He hasn’t been widely beloved by sportsmad Australians because his brash, pugnacious style runs counter to their preferred image of the laid-back, gracious sportsman.

His latest outburst was a tirade during a match last week, when his made ill-advised, perhaps racially tinged comments made headlines. But he moved beyond the furor, made no other verbal missteps and returned the focus to his tennis, which has been terrific.

He won five-setters against young Americans James Blake and Andy Roddick en route to the final.

“I got better with every match I’ve played over the last two weeks,” Hewitt said during the trophy ceremony. “It’s unbelievable. I’ve dreamed of this moment and being out here and playing in a Grand Slam final.

It hasn’t sunk in yet.”

Given the opponent and the partisan crowd, Hewitt wisely showed little emotion against Sampras until the final point. He hit one last passing shot—a back-

hand return winner—and skidded onto his back with glee. He arose pumping his fist, shook hands with Sampras and then trotted to the stands to kiss his girlfriend, French Open runner-up Kim Clijsters.

The generation gap was obvious as soon as the players walked on the court—Sampras with the white clothing and thinning hair, Hewitt with the bright red shirt and backward cap.

The match went badly from the start for Sampras, who thought he had an ace on the third point before chair umpire Norm Cryst overruled, changing the call to a double fault. Sampras lost the game, ending his streak of holding serve in 87 consecutive games, dating back to the second round.

He broke back for 1-1 when Hewitt double-faulted

twice, but the Aussie quickly settled down. The set progressed to 6-6 without another break.

In the tiebreaker, Sampras hit two forehands long and another into the net, and he floated an easy backhand volley long on set point. He walked to his chair with a frown and when he sat down, he slammed his racket into his bag, as if he were done for the day.

He kept playing, but barely. Hewitt won 15 consecutive points on serve during one stretch, passed Sampras five times in one game to break for a 3-1 lead, and the rout was on.

Looking progressively more sluggish and discouraged as shadows crept across the court, Sampras hit one forehand against the backboard and sent a return into the seats behind him. The crowd was firmly behind the American—despite one shout of “C’mon mate!”—but had little to cheer about in the

last two sets.

MINDFULNESS MEDITATION

For Duke Students. Please join us for an hour of learning and practicing meditation. When: Every Monday 5:00-6:00PM (starting 9/10/01). Where; 01 Flowers Building (On the ground floor between Page Auditorium and The Blue and White Cafeteria).

Mindfulness meditation is a useful skill for anyone who feels stressed, pressured, or just wants to get more enjoyment out of lie.

STATS from page 1 crimes; Larceny not from cars fell

from 755 to 710, or 6 percent; trespassing dipped from 291 to 242, or 16.8 percent; and vandalism fell from 374 to 316, or 15.5 percent. Dean credited the latter to the work of residential advisors and area coordinators, among others.

“I think it’s a combination of the crime prevention seminars that our officers give every year, and the importance the RAs and ACs and deans put on preventing vandalism,” he said. “And again I think students just get tired of other students breaking beer bottles and other things, and they just point out they’re tired of it.”

The overall crime decrease was also especially concentrated more on campus than at the Medical Center.

On-campus reports fell 14.5 percent overall, with reports of vandalism falling 29.2 percent and trespassing 31.8 percent.

Reports of driving while intoxicated had jumped from three in 1998 to 17 in 1999, but fell back to seven in 2000. Tracking long-term trends in most of the 33 categories is difficult, however, because DUPD has recently changed its reporting procedures for many crimes.

The crime drop parallels a 6.6 percent statewide decline in 2000, although Dean said the phenomena are not necessarily related. Every year, DUPD produces a categorized report of crimes on campus and at the Medical Center. The report goes to the North Carolina Division of Criminal Information, which then sends the information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The Chronicle Finally, a proper election nostalgic for freshman year had a pleasant reminder with Duke Student Government’s error-free legislative election last Wednesday.

Just last year, the organization omitted three candidates’ names from the ballot and assigned two others to the wrong campus. This election marked the first time in over two years that DSG fulfilled its most basic obligation ofrunning an election properly.

Meanwhile, DSG also successfully raised student interest—both through candidate applications and voter turnout. Although candidates from Central Campus and Trent Drive Hall have traditionally faced little competition, 12 students ran for six seats from Central, and another three candidates pursued Trent’s allotment of two legislators. All in all, 62 people ran for 40 legislative seats.

Student participation—with a record 2,311 votes—was also impressive. With DSG’s large budget and its influential presence on campus, students needed to and have taken a greater interest in the organization’s operation. Improved Internet voting—this year, DSG has not received reports of technical difficulties —probably aided this larger turnout.

Past errors have impaired the credibility ofthe organization, but this year, DSG is off to a better start. Of course, the group was simply doing its job by running a fair election, but combined with high voter turnout and candidate interest, they deserve credit.

Seniors

Quads endure errors

Duke

Student Government may have recently cleaned up its election procedures, but members of another group—residential advisers and area coordinators —mismanaged another campus election.

Last Tuesday night, problems plagued quad council voting in three quadrangles. In Clocktower Quadrangle, officials handed students five sheets of paper and told them to vote for president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and Campus Council representative.

However, nothing could have stopped a student from using the five ballots to vote five times for the same candidate, allowing great potential for foul play.

But the procedural irregularities did not stop there. Before election night, officials discussed combining Crowell and Wannamaker Quadrangles and decided against the change; but election officials distributed a ballot as though the councils had been combined. To correct for the mistake, they decided to use this single vote to choose a winner for each ofthe two quads. That correction makes little sense, especially since voters had no way of knowing the home quads of the candidates.

What is even more troubling about the situation is student apathy. Campus Council officials reported last week that they had not received any official complaints. While quad councils may appear insignificant at a casual glance, each year, they control hundreds of thousands of student dollars. Voters —and candidates —should care about that money and demand fair election procedures ofthe administration.

U.S., Israel should have stayed in U.N. conference I am writing in response

to the letter submitted on behalf of the Duke Friends of Israel in the Sept. 5 issue of The Chronicle, supporting the decisions of the United States and Israel to remove themselves from the World Conference Against Racism. I found the argument presented in this piece unpersuasive

and misguided.

The significance of holding a global conference against discrimination in South Africa should be obvious. The memory of the apartheid regime and its policies of suppression and segregation are as powerful in our minds as the global movement that was needed to remove them. It is in this spirit of opposition to abuses of civil and social rights, whatever their form, wherever they take place and whoever commits these acts, that one should approach the for referenced letter, see

Nations World Conference Against Racism.

The withdrawal of the United States and Israel from the conference works directly against this spirit.

First, the withdrawal of the United States and Israel over proposed harsh language critical ofIsraeli policy towards the Palestinians, foregoes the opportunity to address other global issues of discrimination on the conference agenda, such as caste discrimination in South Asia, the persecution faced by refugees and the disproportionate spread of HIV and AIDS among people of color.

United

Second, the withdrawal further solidifies that the United States and Israel are not committed to recognizing

or

ameliorating the

undeniable plight and subjection of the Palestinian people. The refugee camps, the Palestinian unemploy-

ment rate that hovers around 40 percent, the consistent and excessive use of force by the Israeli military, the house demolitions, the settlements that are in clear

violation of international law, the relegation of Palestinians to second class status, even when they hold

Israeli citizenship, through the deprivation

of basic

water and sanitation services, the severe regulations on freedom of movement and the list goes on and on.

The point of the UN. con-

ference is to work toward a world in which people do not have to experience such degradation, hopelessness and injustice. By removing themselves from this process, the United States and Israel have reaffirmed that they are uncommitted to this goal.

Courts rule against homosexual adoption Florida judgekeeps caring man from becoming father of his foster children

Imagine that you are a 10-year-old

child, and you have AIDS. Bom HIV-positive to an unfit mother, you were immediately given up for adoption and placed in the state’s care. Life, you quickly discover, is hard.

You are somewhat lucky, however: Steven Lofton is your dad.

A registered pediatric nurse, he chose to Nick provide a home to you Christie and two other children infected with HIV. From infancy, he has raised you and your two siblings with the utmost care. He administers your complicated medical treatments. He stays by your bedside when you are sick, which is very often. He has been an

most was the judge’s description of the state’s two arguments for dismissal.

The first reads as follows: “According to [the state], homosexuality has been long disfavored in the law based on beliefs firmly rooted in Judeo-Christian moral and ethical standards for a millennia.”

Am I the only one that finds this request to perpetuate discrimination appalling? Are those the same “JudeoChristian moral and ethical standards” that for millennia justified slavery and the secondary social status of women?

Thankfully, the judge categorically rejected such a clearly prejudicial

argument.

The state’s second assertion “is that

examining a potential parent is flat-out ridiculous. Would a state deny a married couple the right to adopt because one member is wheelchair-bound?

I, myself, have a speech impediment.

Would the state of Florida want to deny me the right to adopt because I stutter?

What is far more troubling in the statement is the state’s concern with “proper gender role modeling.” The phrase reflects a thinly-vailed homophobia. In my opinion, this is the only driving force behind the statute.

The intense fear of those who applauded the court’s decision is easily

discernible.

“Homosexuals are attempting to redefine the family and what constitutes marriage,” declared Rev. Louis Sheldon, chair of the Traditional Values Coalition. “Because they cannot reproriage, in a family consisting of both a duce, they must recruit children into mother and a father.” their movement.”

However, all state adoption laws Pope denounced homosexual attempts to marry, and condemned gay adoption grant primary consideration to established married couples, and I think, with as “a great danger.”

unbelievable father.

In 1994, when you were three, he applied to adopt the three of you and remove the “foster-care” label from your family. Life may be tough, you decided, but it’s not completely unfair.

You were wrong, though. Life is unfair.

For seven years, the state of Florida has refused to allow Steven Lofton to adopt the three children he has raised since birth. Despite presenting him with good reason. an “Outstanding Foster Parenting” That being said, it is not as if there is award, the state feels that Lofton is not a limited number of children eligible for adoption, and marfit to be a parent.

.

In light of such fierce religious opposition to a homosexual’s opportunity to adopt, I suppose I would like to ask one question: How can it be anything but an act of cruelty to separate Steven Lofton from the three children he has raised for the past 10 years?

Is that not a rhetorical question?

How else can you describe such a desire but as completely and utterly deplorable?

For that decade, Mr. Lofton has provided an unbelievably wonderful world to his three children. Afflicted with a deadly disease since the moment of their birth, they have known one father: Lofton. He has held them, he has cried with them, and he has helped them survive.

What religion can be against someone like Lofton? He has provided a future to three children who had none.

Who among us can claim any moral superiority to him?

Imagine that you one of those children.

How unfair is life?

Report: Professors ‘dangerously’ oblivious to fashion DURHAM, NC A study released by a team of graduate students from the Institute of Statistics and Decision Sciences at Duke University on Monday showed that a vast majority of college professors “have no idea how ridiculous they look” and that their complete lack of style is starting to create distance between them and their students, the administration, their own kids—essentially, the rest of the world.

“We found that professors across Sparky the country are wearing clothes that w McQueen are jq-, even 15-years-old to Monday, WOrk as if it were perfectly normal,” Monday said psychology graduate student Rita Johnson, coordinator of the study. “Every day, they’re walking out of their houses and into classrooms donning full-length denim skirts, paisley neckties, ridiculous male pony-tails, tie-dye and two dozen other blatant fashion blunders. Why? The short answer is they just don’t know any better. They’re too busy wrapped up in Newtonian Mechanics or recurrent themes in 1740s literature to stop for a second and realize that the pink socks and Birkenstocks they’re putting on are causing the people they know to think twice about stopping to talk to them in public.”

“What we saw was that for the first time in about four decades, the appearance of the typical college professor is simply unacceptable,” added Scott Newell, a graduate student in statistics who helped conduct the study. “In the ’6os and ’7os, they were

right at home with the tree-huggers and hippies. I mean, they were the tree-huggers and hippies. In the ’Bos, pretty much anything worked, and in the early to mid-90s, they were safe under the ‘grunge’ umbrella. But over the past few years, we noticed that they’ve fallen horribly out of place, and it’s having a detrimental effect on the quality oftheir lives. That’s when the eight of us decided to begin the study. We wanted to help.”

What they found was shocking. Volunteer test professors were used in a series of four experiments to determine the effect of bad fashion on their interactions with the rest of the world. In the first experiment, each professor was placed inside a mating chamber—either a motel honeymoon suite or the back of a 66 mustang convertible—with a suitable mate from the opposite sex. The study showed that sexual contact of any kind occurred in only 0.6% of the cases, and of those cases, 95% of the mates were either professors themselves or completely blind.

“But, you have to remember that almost half of all professors are gay and thatfact may have had a strange effect on the results of our study” Johnson added.

In the second experiment, the professors were dropped off in a rough part of Harlem, given $5O and told to find their way back to the testing center. Of the participants, 25 percent actually made it back without problems, 61 percent reported being heckled by passers-by as they tried to find a bus or taxi and the remaining 14 percent “just got beaten up” and had to be picked up at the hospital.

A professor sat in a wooden chair in the middle of a medium-sized room in the third experiment while a small, sliding door opened in front of them and a five-year-old child was pushed into the room.

Researchers accumulated the following statistical data: 96 percent of the children behaved unfavorably by cowering in a corner, bursting into tears or attempting suicide; 3 percent actually produced a weapon and attacked the professor; and the other 1 percent didn’t seem phased by the professors’ horrid appearance at all.

“Future professors,” Johnson explained.

In the final experiment, each test professor was loaded onto a fishing vessel and lowered into shark infested water off of the eastern coast of Cuba. To control the experiment, another person dressed in clothes from Banana Republic and holding a Kate Spade purse was also lowered into the water next to the professor.

In 86 percent of the cases, the professor was eaten by the sharks before the control subject.

“The big loser in all of this is science,” said Newell.

“You know, the pursuit of knowledge, truth and whatnot. I mean, a professor could be giving the most important lecture of the 21st century at some bioethics conference about a virus-killing bacteria she engineered and nobody would even hear it because they’re too busy saying to each other, ‘Jesus, Bill, do you think she’s ever combed it?’”

Freshman guys, don’t believe a word they say. There IS a beer in that fridge.
