THE INDEPENDENT DAILY AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

Women’s teams DSG passes seniority resolution snag more funds

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

In an annual report, athletic administrators indicated that spending for women’s sports is increasing.

The report, required by the Higher Education Act, showed that in the fiscal year ending last June, 40.1 percent of athletic scholarships were awarded to women, a 2.2 percent increase from the previous year. According to the report, financial aid for female athletes has increased 13 percent in the past five years.

Chris Kennedy, associate athletic director, said the department plans to further increase aid until that number reaches 47 to 48 percent, proportional to the percent of the Duke undergraduate population that is also female. Currently, 42.1 percent of all athletes are women.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 says participation opportunities for male and female students should be substantially proportionate to overall enrollment percentages.

“Over the years, we’ve developed and defined and redefined and scrapped and redeveloped equality plans,” Kennedy said.

The department began planning in 1998 to fund 34 more scholarships for women and hopes to reach a balance of 106 scholarships for women and 125 for men. Kennedy said Duke is nearly there.

lege. The Point, which plays mostly “groove-based improvisational jams,” formed late in fall 2000 and debuted last spring, headlining the Class of 2004 event on Clocktower Quadrangle. Since then, they have played at various campus events, most recently at Delta Sigma Phi fraternity’s Reggae Jam. But Duke does not make life for aspiring rock stars easy, say some students.

Martin Pulido, a coordinator at the Event Advising Center, regretted that student bands are few and far between.

“That’s really something we’ve been trying to push the last year,” he said.

Pulido recalled 15 or 16 student bands on campus during his undergraduate days at the University of Notre Dame, and estimated that most schools have at least twice as many groups as Duke.

“Duke does have a fairly good music program,” said junior Drew Yaeger, a music major who plays electric piano organ for Mojo Train, another student band. “And

there’s a lot offlexibility in the curriculum. But you don’t find much guitar or percussion. If you want to start a rock band, you gotta put up fliers. Finding other musicians is pretty difficult.”

Finding interested members is just the beginning. Duke bands report that they constantly struggle with funding, transportation and bureaucratic red tape, even in negotiating for practice space. Bands are no longer allowed to play inside commons rooms, and must pay high fees for a stage, power, security and production to play outside.

“There’s a complete lack ofvenues,” said junior Esteban Afonso, bass player for the band Casual Socks. “With the Hideaway gone, there’s nowhere to play.”

Students say that with the exception ofthe Coffeehouse, opportunities for oncampus shows are scarce. Even then, they say the Coffeehouse’s location on a dry East Campus makes it hard-pressed to attract upperclassmen.

Senior Brandon Robinson, Casual Socks’ keyboardist and guitarist, suggested that Duke’s academic caliber might also account for the dearth of serious student bands.

“We’re not at a state school where you can blow offall your work,” Robinson explained.

Community members will remember former history professor Jack Cell at a memorial service in early December.

According to an annual report, support for women’s sports teams at the University is on the rise, with financial aid for female athletes increasing 13 percent over the last five years.

Duke Student Government overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling for seniority in the housing lottery system at its weekly meeting last night.

Executive Vice President Drew Ensign emailed the passed resolution to Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta, hoping to influence the administration’s final version of the residential life plan, scheduled to be completed by the end of the week. Moneta has said he welcomes any student input.

DSG’s resolution—passed 37 to two, with two abstentions—recommends that rising senior independents receive priority for singles, doubles and triples on West Campus. In the University’s current proposal, seniors have priority only for singles, while rising juniors have first selection of doubles and triples.

“Based on tonight’s vote, it’s clear that students from all classes favor seniority in the lottery system,” said senior Sean Young, DSG residential fife liaison.

The resolution includes an amendment that calls for a guarantee that sophomores living in TrentDrive Hall receive housing on West Campus. The amendment limits the guarantee to juniors who will be on campus both semesters.

“I feel [sophomores in Trent! have received the shaft for one year, and should not have to suffer another year in Trent,” DSG Vice President for Student Affairs Joshua Jean-Baptiste said. Tm looking out for the little people.”

The amendment was the only tightly contested issue and was approved 25 to 16. Young JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE warned that he did not feel the administration SENIOR MICHAEL CALVO pauses during Wednesday night’s discussion would look favorably on the amendment, beabout seniority at a meeting of Duke Student Government.

consequences.”

The financial networks are called Al-Barakaat and Al-Taqua, and Bush said they did far more than move cash.

The groups, with a presence in more than 40 countries, also financed the movement of arms, provided secure communications and served as a network for Osama bin Laden to transmit intelligence and instructions to terrorist cells in al-Qaida, govern-

ment officials said.

“Al-Taqua and Al-Barakaat raise

funds for al-Qaida,” the president said. “They manage, invest and distribute those funds.”

Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill later described a complex mechanism he said Al-Barakaat used to provide secret financing to al-Qaida.

According to the secretary and other officials, company the “skimmed” a portion of the fees charged on each financial transaction it conducted and paid that portion to al-Qaida. These transactions, officials said, provide the terrorist network with tens of millions of dollars each year. AI-Taqua then assisted al-Qaida by providing investment advice and cash transfer capabilities, they added.

Two defectors from Iraqi intelligence said Wednesday that they had worked for several years at a secret Iraqi government camp that had trained Islamic terrorists in rotations of five or six months since 1995.

They said the training in the camp was aimed at carrying out attacks against neighboring countries and possibly Europe and the United States.

The defectors, one of whom was a lieutenant general and was once one of the most senior officers in the Iraqi intelligence service, said they did not know if the Islamic militants being trained at the camp, known as Salman Pak, were linked to Osama bin Laden.

They also said they had no knowledge of specific attacks carried out by the militants.

But they insisted that those being trained as recently

as last year were Islamic radicals from across the Middle East. An interview of the two men was set up by an Iraqi group that seeks the overthrow of President Sad-

dam Hussein.

“There is a lot we do not know,” the former general, who spoke on condition of anonymity, admitted. “We were forbidden to speak about our activities among each other, even off duty. But over the years, you see and hear things.”

“These Islamic radicals were a scruffy lot. They needed a lot of training, especially physical training. But from speaking with them, it was clear they came from a variety of countries, including Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Algeria, Egypt and Morocco. We were training these people to at-

tack installations important to the United States. The Gulf War never ended for Saddam Hussein. He is at war with the United States. We were repeatedly told this.”

Speaker causes some to protest Some members of the Jewish community are upset about scholar Norman Finkelstein’s visit to the University, citing his views on Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

A speech tonight by a controversial critic of Israel is causing a stir among some in Duke’s Jewish community who say that the speaker, a Jew, discounts the importance of the Holocaust. The organization sponsoring the event, however, defends the speaker as a valid critic of Israeli actions against Palestinians Norman Finkelstein, a professor of political science at DePaul University and wellknown scholar on Zionism, will be speaking at 7 p.m. in 130 So-

ALPINE BAGELS AND BREWS still serves some food items in foam containers, but owner Chris Sullivan hopes to phase them out in the coming few months.

Duke eateries examine use of foam Some vendors begin using alternative containers

By CINDY YEE

CLARIFICATION In a page 1 article of the Oct. 30 edition, The Chronicle reported that Campus Council President Vik Devisetty tried to secure buses to take students to Chapel Hill on Halloween for the past two years but failed due to lack of support. The buses did not run because the Chapel Hill Police Department would not allow buses to stop on Franklin Street or nearby.

CORRECTION

In a page 1 article of the Nov. 7 edition, The Chronicle incorrectly reported that seniors not wishing to live in singles next year will be forced off West Campus. Juniors will have priority for doubles and triples, and seniors will be able to choose from the remaining rooms.

The Chronicle

In ongoing attempts to reduce environmental waste, University eateries continue to investigate the feasibility of alternatives to foam take-out containers. Most have either completely or partially eliminated the material from their businesses.

The Great Hall has put some alternatives through a trial run, said Bruce Eckmeder, operations manager for Dining Services, but officials have found a complete switch inconvenient to students.

“Ideally, if you wanted to cut down on the waste problem, you’d always eat off of china. But that’s not feasible—you have to have the take-out option,”

Eckmeder said.

Last year, Dining Services eliminated foam cups and switched from the foam hinge take-out containers to laminated paper containers with heavy plastic lids. Although the switch seems to have proceeded without a hitch, the

University found that paper plates could not hold liquids or maintain heat as well. Now the Great Hall offers the options of clear plastic or foam containers.

The Loop has also switched back to foam containers since the beginning ofthe year. Dennis Lane, a manager at The Loop, said the restaurant tried using plastic containers at the beginning of this year, but has since reverted because the supplier for the entire chain still uses foam.

Lane did point out that the Duke eatery has switched to paper cups and soup containers, while other Loop restaurants still use foam.

Alpine Bagels and Brews has met with more success in switching, said owner Chris Sullivan. He said the eatery easily found paper replacements for foam cups used for cold beverages, cutting its use offoam to half of what it was at this time last year.

He said the company could not use the same paper See FOAM on page 6 �

Stadium play The tennis stadium under construction received a boost Tuesday with the announcement of a $1.57 million gift from Duke alumnus Merrill Ambler. Ambler donated an island—Amoco Island, located at the confluence of Rancocas Creek and the Delaware River—to the University. Duke then sold the piece of land to Burlington County, N.J. The 11,000-square-foot facility on the south side of Towerview Road will have an area for announcers and other media. There also will be direct electronic connection between the umpire and the scoreboard.

Construction began this summer on the 700-seat stadium. The stadium will also have new restrooms and state-of the-art sound and electronic systems. The six existing courts will be resurfaced, lighted and extended to comply with NCAA tournament specifications. It is expected to be ready for Duke’s 2002 outdoor tennis season and will be named for Ambler.

Although some have argued that a

“Some may call it a gamble, but people will guard their own money first by putting it down for food on the table before they put it aside for lottery,” Michaux said.

Philip Cook, ITT/Sanford Professor at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy and co-author of Selling Hope: State Lotteries in America, said North Carolina does not need a lottery. The amount a lottery would raise, he said, is unlikely to be more than 3 percent of total state revenues.

“The lottery should be judged on its own merits,” he said. “It seems completely arbitrary to tie a decision oh investing in our children to adoption of a relatively small new revenue source.”

Alpine looks to non-foam, insulated cups for alternative � FOAM from page 3 cups for hot beverages because the eatery would have to either provide two cups per purchase or use paper wrap-arounds to prevent the cups from becoming too hot—alternatives that would be more costly and generate more trash.

“Over the course of this last year, we’ve tried to go away from Styrofoam,” Sullivan said. “We’re halfway there, and over the course of the next few months, we hope to be rid of Styrofoam altogether. Now we’re just trying to work on cups for the hot side of the deal.”

The eatery currently has samples of the “Perfect

Touch” cup, a paper cup with polyurethane coating for insulation. Sullivan said the cup, which is 100 percent recyclable, has been taken to Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst for approval.

Other eateries, like the Armadillo Grill, have not switched from foam. The issue is “still in the air,” said John Kevin, assistant manager for the Armadillo Grill.

The University’s search for foam replacements began in the spring of 1999 under pressure from students concerned about the lack of a foam recycling facility in the Durham area; some students remain interested in the issue.

“We should use washable, reusable containers, especially if we’re not going anywhere,” said Devyani Kar, a first-year student at the Nicholas School ofthe Environment and Earth Sciences.

Kar said she would never use a foam container, even if one was handed to her.

Most students expressed more indifference. “I think that we should avoid [foam] if at all possible, and I think it’s possible,” said junior Cara Weber. “If I was in a hurry, I’d take the Styrofoam and leave. I wouldn’t even think to ask for something else because it’s not something that I normally think about.”

Jewish leaders at Duke condemn Finkelstein’s work FINKELSTEIN from page 3 He is not someone who is considered a great friend of the Jewish people,” said Roger Kaplan, director of the Freeman Center for Jewish Life. “Students are very, very concerned. A lot of supporters of the Jewish community are concerned.”

Author of The Holocaust Industry Finkelstein has criticized the portrayal of the killing of Jews during World War 11, saying that their deaths have been exploited for other Jews’ gains like the recent $1.5 billion settlement with Swiss banks. He also condemns Israel’s occupation of lands it acquired in the 1967 SixDay War against its Arab neighbors, as well as other actions against Palestinians.

“There’s a consensus in the entire international community calling for Israel to withdraw from the areas occupied after the 1967 war as a critical precondition for peace,” Finkelstein said in an interview Wednesday. “I think American Jews are making a big

P

mistake by defending the indefensible.... All it does is foment anti-Semitism, and the belief that Jews like to

kill little kids.”

Those beliefs have drawn condemnation from many Jewish leaders who defend both the attention paid to the Holocaust and Israel’s right to occupy the land it currently holds. Some Jews have called Finkelstein, whose parents were Holocaust -survivors, an antiSemite himself, while others have accused him of minimizing the importance of the Holocaust. Finkelstein has said Israel would not exist if not for the Holocaust.

“Most rational people would say that the Holocaust was not an excuse. It was a tragedy,” said senior David Nefouse, president of Duke Friends of Israel. “To do something like this is sending out a message, and if that’s the message [the event organizers] want to send out, that the Holocaust is an excuse for the state of Israel, they can do that. But if I were to go about promoting peace, this is not how I would do it.”

,

Finkelstein will speak specifically about the cur-

rent situation in the Middle East, and organizers of the event say he brings a unique voice to this issue, both because of his religion and his scholarship. The speech is being sponsored by HIWAR, a student group that focuses on human rights issues in North Africa and the Mideast.

“We feel what he has to say is very important and very underrepresented in our society,” said sophomore Yousuf Al-Bulushi, president of HIWAR. “We’re bringing him here to talk about the Arab-Israeli conflict. He has written books on the Holocaust, but that’s not what he’ll be speaking about.”

Claudia Koonz, a professor of history at Duke who studies the Holocaust, said Finkelstein’s work is an essential part of a heated, ongoing debate about Zionism, and that his views are not unique. “That’s something that people get really confused about. You can be really pro-Jewish and be really anti-Zionist,” Koonz said.

Rock bands at Duke struggle to find good crowds p- ROCK BANDS from page 1

Still, The Point, Kenin, Mojo Train and Casual Socks continue to play for thensmall but faithful followings, and for whoever else will listen. To be sure, Duke is no mecca for musicians, but it is nevertheless home to a handful ofrock bands who dream of making it big.

Kenin, possibly one of Duke’s most prolific bands, is well on its way. With about 24 songs written and 16 of those recorded, the acoustic rock band—influenced by Dispatch, Freddy Jones Band and Ouster—has distributed over 1,000 homemade CDs. The limited number of campus venues has not stopped Kenin from performing.

Lead singer Sean Gaiser appeared solo at the James Joyce pub last month and again with Kenin at Schoonerfest in

Edens Quadrangle over alumni weekend.

Kenin will appear again at the James Joyce Friday night.

Gaiser, a senior, plans to teach next year in the Washington, D.C. area while the rest of his band finishes college. “Ultimately, I’d like to take a year and see what we can make of it,” he said. “It’s a win-win situation—at the very least, I will have had a great time playing music for a year, and I’ll have something to show my kids.”

Junior Adam Sampieri may be headed for stardom as well. Having released CDs with other bands, he is now the lead singer for Mojo Train, a funk-rock band that has played all over campus—at the Hideaway, the Coffeehouse and fraternity parties—as well as at various local bars.

The band usually plays a mix of cover

songs and its own material, but basically aims to please the crowd.

Finding a crowd to please at Duke, however, can be difficult. Live music is not a mainstay of campus social life, and bands are hungry for business.

“As a musician, it’s really daunting to do a show if you can’t be sure people are going to show up,” Sampieri said. “I’d rather play for free for a lot of people than get paid to do a show no one comes out for.”

Mojo Train members say they are not in it for the money—they have invested all their profits to buy their own production equipment, which Pulido said is unusual.

Senior Paul Cohen, lead singer for Casual Socks, shares Sampieri’s sentiments.

“I love getting in front of fans,” he said.

“We’re not after the money; we’re after the feeling.”

Casual Socks is primarily a cover band that fuses blues, jazz and classic rock.

They have played at several events in Few Quadrangle, where they will appear again this Saturday night. Though the band may not go on together after college, guitarist Robinson plans to spend next year at home writing music before matriculating at medical school.

With this level of dedication to music—exhibited by class presidents and pre-meds alike—Duke may turn out its share of rock stars as well. If the success of Duke alumni in professional and academic spheres is any indication, we may see Kenin, the Point, Casual Socks and Mojo Train topping the charts someday soon.

DSG stresses diversity promoted by proposed system � DSG from page 1 cause it would single out members of one class and could lead to further calls for priority from other groups.

But other legislators said that because the overall resolution was merely a recommendation, the decision whether such a guarantee could logistically be made should be left to the administration.

The main resolution—proposed by legislator Mike Lynch, a sophomore—seeks to increase “inter-generational interaction by minimizing class conflict and allowing younger students to benefit from the experience of the senior class.”

“The current policy tells seniors they are not welcome to participate in the new system,” Lynch said.

Lynch and Young emphasized that the resolution did not imply simply that rising seniors deserved priority, but rather that the overall campus environmentr—and in

particular, the diversity of West—would improve under

such a system.

“If only single rooms are offered for seniors, only those with higher socio-economic status will be able to afford to live on West,” Young said of the current plan. “We will have a divided senior class because only rich kids will live on West.” Young also said seniors could provide quadbased services like tutoring and advising for underclassmen, an initiative the University is already planning.

DSG’s resolution focuses on the 2002-2003 academic year. Young said if DSG’s proposed system is implemented, he expects it to be carried over for the 2003-2004 year.

Thereafter, all students who matriculated before the new residential life changes were made will have graduated.

Campus Council will consider a similar resolution at its meeting tonight at 7 p.m. in the Griffith Board Room in the Bryan Center.

Blue Devils limp away after 4-0 loss at Clemson

By ASSAAD NASR The Chronicle

When the Duke men’s soccer team returns to Clemson, S.C., next weekend for the ACC tournament, it hopes the result will be quite different from yesterday’s trip. Fielding a team ravaged by injuries, the unranked Blue Devils (8-10, 2-4 in the ACC) fell 4-0 to the No. 10 Clemson Tigers (13-4, 3-2) at Historic Riggs Field.

“We really did not play very well,” Duke coach John Rennie said. “We made two real bad defensive mistakes in the first half, and that cost us two goals. We pushed forward and had chances, but we just couldn’t get through.”

The Tigers, who scored early and often, got on the board in only the eighth minute when junior forward Dimelon Westfield stole the ball from a Duke defender, setting up a one-on-one with Blue Devil freshman goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge. Westfield made a quick move and then fired a shot past Trowbridge into the middle of the Duke goal from 12 yards out.

Westfield then assisted on Clemson’s second when in the 35th minute, he picked up a loose ball that a Blue Devil defender failed to clear on the right side of the field. Westfield crossed the ball to senior midfielder Ross Goodacre, who struck the right corner of the Duke goal from 18 yards away.

After sustaining an offensive attack from the Blue Devils, the Tigers counter-attacked near the end of the second half and scored goals in both the 72nd and the 89th minutes.

“We didn’t play our best game and we are missing quite a few of our players right now,” Rennie said.

The match’s result evened the all-time record between the two schools to 18-18-3. The win was Clemson’s first regular season victory over Duke since 1993, a span that included 8 matches.

Both teams were coming off very tough conference losses. The Blue Devils fell to No. 6 Wake Forest Saturday night, while Clemson lost an extremely close affair to then-No. 8 North Carolina the same night. While Duke closed out its ACC schedule, Clemson has one more regular-season game left against Wake Forest this coming Saturday before welcoming the entire conference for the ACC tournament.

Going into the tournament, the Blue Devils’ season can be summed up in one word: injuries. Currently, 50 percent of the opening day starting lineup is not playing due to injury, including five out of 10 field players.

Among the most notable injured players is to sophomore defender Matt Ahumada, the heart of the Blue Devils’ defense, who is having surgery next week on his ruptured ACL and torn lateral meniscus.

The injuries have compounded the problems facing the young and inexperienced team, as Rennie has been forced to move players around simply to fill the gap in what was otherwise a very solid defensive unit.

“It’s just been one of those seasons—whatever could go wrong has gone wrong,” Rennie said. “Our starting backs aren’t playing right now. The guys out there are doing the best that they can, but that’s not where they are used to playing. We are simply running out of people to play back there. This is the most unique situation I have ever seen. I’ve been coaching a long time, and have never seen anything like this.”

Sco as good as he is at stopping shots, Scott Maslin has a bad sense of.timing. senior goalkeeper on the men’s soccer team arrived at Duke three years ago only to find himself buried on the depth chart behind star Atli Knutsson and then-sophomore Jeff Haywood. The abundance of goalies led to Maslin being redshirted. After the graduation of Knutsson, it was Haywood who took over the starting role and flourished, with All-ACC caliber seasons in both 1999 and 2000.

Meanwhile, as the team enjoyed tremendous success on the field, qualifying for three straight NCAA tournaments, Maslin could do little more than cheer from the sidelines.

However, Maslin wasn’t just sitting around and moping; instead he was busy learning from Haywood, knowing that eventually his own time would come.

“Just watching how [Haywood] played, how he handled situations, how he got the kind of through the season, how he composed himself after he lost things you don’t notice as a fan [were vital],” he said. Such attributes “influence how you play and deal with the season, and I learned a lot from [Haywood] about that.”

Having learned the tricks of the trade, Maslin was ready to start, and following the graduation of Haywood, he finally got the opportunity this year. He has .been making the most of that opportunity, proving all year long to the ACC that the wait was well worth it.

Blue Devils’ quest for ACC UCLA star back declared title begins against Virginia ineligible for Oregon game

By KIYA BAJPAI The Chronicle

With a 2-5 record and a seventh-place ranking in the ACC, it does not appear that the Duke women’s soccer team can easily win the upcoming ACC tournament at Wake Forest. But as senior captain Sarah Pickens points out that the Blue Devils’ record comes nowhere close to being a true showing of their talent.

The Blue Devils may be 2-5 in the ACC, but three of those losses —to Virginia, Florida State and Clemson—came in overtime. After a low point at 05 in the ACC, Duke has finished its season with three wins to get to an even 88 record and is confident in its chances.

“I think we have a huge chance. We’ve battled every team in the ACC,” Pickens said. “I mean, the record shows it poorly; we’ve lost three games in overtime.”

The Oct. 20 match against Virginia during regular season ended 2-1 when Cavalier freshman sensation Lindsay Gusick scored 10 minutes into overtime. Gusick has 13 goals this season, only the fourth player inVirginia history to get to that number in one season.

Virginia enters the ACC tournament with a 2-0 win over Wake Forest, giving it the second seed in the ACC. The recent victory was also the 50th win for Lindsay and the other Cavalier seniors.

Despite Virginia’s high rank and strong offense, Duke coach Robbie Church firmly believes his team can bring home a win not only against Virginia, but for the entire tournament.

Duke did beat Virginia in the ACC tour-

nament last year, though Virginia has won the last three regular season meetings between the two rivals.

“We’re going to win the tournament.

We are playing well enough that we can

win this tournament,” Church said.

“We’re a very dangerous team, a very confident team right now.”

Junior Rebecca Smith agrees with Church in the confidence of the team, and knows the energy will be high going into Thursday’s match.

“I expect us to come out more fired up than we’ve been all season,” Smith said. “There’s more on the line. It’s tournament time.”

If Duke does beat UVa Thursday, the

next game would be Friday afternoon against the winner of No. 6 Florida State

and No. 3 Maryland. On the other side of the bracket, the main competition is No. 1 North Carolina, a team that Duke played evenly until a late spurt that gave UNC a 3-1 victory in the regular season.

Rather than focus on the rest of the tournament, however, the Blue Devils are taking it one step at a time. The first priority on the list is to knock off Virginia tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p.m.

With players like standout freshman Casey McCluskey, sophomore goalie Thora Helgadottir, senior Alison Sanders

and recently recovered senior Kasey Truman in addition to Smith and Pickens, Duke has reason to be confident.

“I think we just need to come out and play our game, and we need to score early,” Sanders said. “We’re on the upward climb.”

The Associated Press

UCLA running LOS ANGELES back DeShaun Foster, the nation’s third-leading rusher and a top Heisman Trophy candidate, has been declared

ineligible for competition by the school and will miss Saturday’s game against No. 7 Oregon at the Rose Bowl.

The NCAA made UCLA aware of a possible “extra benefits” violation by university Foster Tuesday, the Wednesday.

Foster was declared ineligible for competition, a standard procedure in “extra benefits” situations, following a meeting among athletic director Peter Dalis, a member of the NCAA enforce-

ment staff, and Foster.

“We were made aware by the NCAA

of a possible violation in connection with DeShaun and have had to declare him ineligible for this week’s game,” Dalis said.

UCLA said that as soon as complete information is gathered, it will submit a report that includes the facts of the case and a request that Foster’s eligibility be restored.

Dalis said he hopes the report will be submitted by Friday.

There is no timetable for reinstatement, the university said in a news release, but added the standard penalty in cases of this type is 10 percent of the season—one game.

“He admitted that a benefit had come his way. I’m not sure that he was aware that it was wrong,” Dalis said,

refusing to elaborate further.

“I’m extremely disappointed. He knows what’s right and what’s wrong and he’s being disciplined and suspended and we’ll go from there,” UCLA coach Bob Toledo said after practice. “He said he was very sorry for what happened.

He didn’t realize it was going to be like this. We’ll find out more about it later.

“Those of you who have children, it’s like telling them what’s right and what’s wrong. You try to educate them, you tell them the fire’s hot, don’t put your hand in it. But a lot of times they want to find out themselves, and they put their hand in the fire.”

Foster, a 6-foot-l, 215-pound senior from nearby Tustin, leads the Pac-10 in rushing with 1,109 yards on 216 carries. He is averaging 138.63 yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry. He also leads the conference with 13 touchdowns —12 rushing and one receiving.

Foster, whose 722 career rushing attempts are the most in UCLA history, ranks third on the school’s career rushing list with 3,194 yards—one yard behind Freeman McNeil. Gaston Green holds the school record with 3,731 yards.

Toledo said Akil Harris, a 6-1, 203pound sophomore, will start in Foster’s place, and Manuel White, a 6-3, 241pound redshirt freshman, will also play for the Bruins (6-2, 3-2 in the Pac-10) against the Ducks (8-1, 5-1).

Harris has gained 144 yards on 19 carries, and White has picked up 153 yards on 30 attempts.

College hoops kicks off season in New York City

By JIM O’CONNELL The Associated Press

NEW YORK Four of the country’s premier college basketball teams will .get it all started this year at Madison Square Garden, just a few subway stops from the World Trade Center.

“There is a special emphasis in coming to New York to play,” Maryland coach Gary Williams said.

The Terrapins will face Arizona Thursday night in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, the official tip-off to the season. Maryland, No. 2 in the AP’s preseason poll, will be playing a fellow Final Four participant from last season.

No. 5 Florida plays No. 16 Temple in the other game. The winners will meet Friday night, as will the losers.

“I was looking at the fourth-place finishers in this tournament the last four years and it was Georgetown, Duke, Kentucky and Texas,” Williams said. “They’re all great programs, so obviously the competition is tough and we expect to really find out something about our team. You can schedule 10 Ws or play in this and see how good you are.”

It is not only the chance to help New York continue its return to normalcy following the Sept. 11 attacks that makes this sixth annual event important.

The tournament, sponsored by IKON, has raised $2 million for cancer research, a subject close to Arizona coach Lute Olson, who lost his wife, Bobbi, to ovarian cancer last year. Her death became a focal point for Arizona’s run to the national championship game last season, where the Wildcats lost to Duke.

“Bobbi is another reason we’re glad to play in this event,” he said. “Research has made great strides and we’re just hopeful that we can have a part in eradicating this horrible disease.”

Arizona will definitely have the most different look from last season with four starters gone, three early entries to the NBA draft. The only starter back is point guard Jason Gardner, and he applied for the draft, then decided to return.

“Our point guards through the years have been out-

standing and Jason fits into that mold,” Olson said.

“The biggest thing he and Luke Walton and Rick Anderson have to do is provide leadership for these young players who have no clue what Division I basketball is all about.

“Jason has been taking a strong leadership role not only on but off the court. It’s a great experience for him because he has to provide the leadership.”

Maryland has four starters back from the team that lost to Duke in the national semifinals in March. The Terrapins were picked behind only the Blue Devils in the preseason poll, matching the highest ranking in school history.

“This is the third time in the last four years we’ve been in the top six or better in the preseason so we’ve been through this before,” Williams said. “We’d rather be here than not ranked in the top 100, which we weren’t when we got here. The ranking’s nice but the preseason stops Thursday.”

Florida-Temple is a rematch of last season’s NCAA second-round game that Temple won by 21 points.

This will be the first game as a Hall of Earner for Temple coach John Chaney. He was inducted last month and having a plaque in Springfield, Mass., hasn’t changed him one bit.

“We don’t have a lot of quality players on our ball club,” he said in his usual self-deprecating manner.

“We have Lynn Greer and Kevin Lyde but we’ll be missing David Hawkins. We felt he was going to be a big help, but he’s ineligible the first semester. Last year, with us playing a lot of matchup zone, we found them shooting the ball a little bit poorly.”

Florida’s backcourt will be the key. Brett Nelson returns off a very good sophomore year, and Justin Hamilton starts his comeback from major knee surgery that limited him to 14 games last season.

“This is a situation where we’re starting a week to 10 days before the others start,” Florida coach Billy Donovan said. “But Kentucky lost its two games here last year and came back and ran off a bunch of wins and then won the SEC. Certainly, these early games helped them.”

Olympic officials working for safe Games Maslin may return for redshirt season

By RICH VOSEPKA The Associated Press Olympic planners stood at SALT LAKE CITY attention Wednesday as the head of the U.S. Army breezed through Salt Lake City to assess their security preparations.

His verdict: “Totally impressed,” Army Secretary Thomas E

White said.

Olympic officials said White’s visit reassured them the federal government will fully support the

February games.

“We’re willing to expend whatever is necessary, commit whatever resources are necessary” to protect the Olympics, White said.

Federal agencies are contributing the lion’s share of more than $3OO million for Olympic security. Security plans have been beefed up since the Sept. 11 attacks, and more military uniforms and weapons will be seen

around Olympic venues.

Mitt Romney, head of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, had wanted a games without military guards toting M-16s. In the wake of the terrorist attacks, though, he has changed his mind.

“Frankly, I just want to make sure everyone is safe; I’m not so concerned about appearances,” Romney said.

Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson, who toured

Olympic venues with White and Romney on Wednesday, wasn’t troubled by the military look, either.

“I don’t think its going to be oppressive,” Anderson said.

The elaborate security plans will make February’s games an unlikely target for terrorists, Anderson said.

More than 7,000 federal agents, Utah police and military personnel are expected to guard the games.

Before the attacks, the plan was for the military to keep a low profile. That has changed.

“I would say you’re going to see people in uniform” at every Olympic event, White said.

“The place you’ll see that most visibly is in the air and at the venues,” Romney said. Military aircraft will patrol no-fly zones over Olympic venues, while National Guard troops will be monitoring metal detec-

tors at venue entrances.

White toured competition venues and the Olympic Square. He said he was looking at the lay of the land, as well as the level of cooperation among the 60 local, state and federal agencies involved in games’ security.

“He was very clear that we should not leave anything to chance,” Romney said.

White departed saying he had absolute confidence in the security plan. Like many other government leaders, he said he has no desire to see the Olympics postponed or canceled..

� MASLIN from page 11 Maslin has allowed only 10 goals all season, and there has been only one game in which the opposition has scored more than a single goal in regulation, all of which adds up to a miniscule 0.83 goals-against-average.

“He’s probably played better than [Haywood] did last year,” Duke coach John Rennie said. “He’s stepped in and done a tremendous job.”

The problem is, Maslin again had bad timing. After biding his time for several years on winning teams, Maslin is now the starter on a team in serious danger of missing the NCAA tournament for the first time in his career at Duke.

“I’ve been spoiled because we’ve won the majority of the time that I’ve been here,” Maslin said. “But now it’s the time where we have to act the same way... work

hard and play hard and continue to act professionally.

It’s the hardest to be motivated when you’re losing, but it’s most important to be motivated when you’re losing.”

Rennie, who has watched Maslin progress for the past three years, has sympathy for his goalkeeper.

“It’s disappointing for all the seniors,” Rennie said.

“Maybe Scott more so because this is his first season as a starter,”

Despite the team’s struggles on the field, Maslin refuses to be downtrodden. Aside from his sparkling play in goal, he has quickly developed into one ofthe team’s leaders, and has been working hard to pass on his hard-earned lessons to his successors in goal, freshmen Justin Trowbridge and Mark Valdez and sophomore Michael Weiner.

“He’s definitely helped me to cope with the collegiate level of play,” said Trowbridge, the heir-apparent to Maslin. “He’s a leader on the field, and that helps the young guys, especially me and Mark.”

As appreciative as Trowbridge is of Maslin’s mentoring, he may actually have another year to put up with it as a backup, because by redshirting his freshman year, the senior Maslin still has another year of eligibility left. Is he going to use it?

“I discussed this a lot with coach Rennie last year,” Maslin said. “I’m going to sit down with coach after this year and talk to him about what his goals are for me, and what my goals and expectations are.... But we’ll wait until after the season [to make that decision].”

His teammates said they would love to have him back. “Scott’s just a great guy, on and off the field,” Trowbridge said.

So will he be back next year as Duke tries to reclaim its post atop the ACC? Maybe that wouldn’t be such bad timing.

Improving religion

The

Divinity School, located next to the Chapel at the heart of a campus, was founded in large part for religious training. Its purpose is to teach a particular dogma, not to explore and analyze multiple faiths; the Department of Religion—located within the liberal arts branch of the University—is supposed to provide a secular approach to spiritual matters. Unfortunately, the overlap of professors from the Divinity School and those in the religion department damages religion’s studies.

Twenty-eight of the 32 professors who staff the religion department’s graduate program specialize in Judeo-Christian studies. To encounter particular views from other faiths, students have only one or two professors to turn to for classes, and this limitation is unacceptable at liberal arts institution that aims to create wellrounded individuals. Certainly, the religion department does not need equal numbers of faculty representing each faith, but students want a breadth of options on campus, as demonstrated when a group of students campaigned for a Hindi major three years ago.

The graduate students have a valuable resource in the Divinity School and its well-respected faculty. However, a graduate student response to an external review of the religion department indicated that many of these students felt they needed to take courses outside ofreligion in order to obtain adequate academic breadth within their field. The religion department cannot allow this failure to continue.

Fortunately, administrators have already made moves to alleviate these problems in response to their external review by hiring new faculty: Ebrahim Moosa, who is an expert in Islam; Leela Prasad, who specializes in South Asian religions; and Richard Jaffe, who has studied Buddhism. These hires, as well as the additional ones in the future as current faculty members retire, show that officials are serious about academic pursuits ofreligion.

Hopefully, the department will also respond to the review’s suggestion that more core courses be offered for the undergraduate major. At the same time, majors do not have to take a core introductory course from which other, more specialized courses can evolve. Such offerings may be key as the department attempts to provide the fullest education possible to its students.

Studying religion clearly has significance, especially at this time in world history. Because of their religious beliefs, terrorists are attacking the United States, Understanding their faith may be key to resolving future conflicts.

As such, the religion department cannot allow itself to be an extension of the Divinity School: This kind ofrelationship drains the pursuits of both the religion department’s study of faiths and the Divinity School’s mission to train ministers.

On the record It seems completely arbitrary to tie a decision on investing in our children to adoption of a relatively small new revenue source.

Letters to

the editor

Duke must do more to combat eating disorders First, I would like to thank Mary Adkins: Thank you for sharing your story, for breaking this silence and for calling for immediate action.

As president of Educational Support to Eating Eliminate Misconceptions, Duke’s Peer Education group on body image, eating disorders and nutrition, I can tell you that we are doing everything in our power to raise awareness and prevent eating disorders on campus. But our efforts are not enough, 13 students cannot fight this battle alone.

Even with the support of Counseling and Psychological Services, the Healthy Devil, Student Heath and the Women’s Center, we cannot fight the magnitude of these diseases. This silence must be broken to actively combat eating disorders, disordered eating and compulsive overexercising. for referenced column,

Currently ESTEEM offers programs concerning healthy eating, healthy exercise, body image and media literacy, plans Eating National Disorders Awareness Week, brings national speakers on a range of eating disorder and body image related topics—with help from other campus organizations—and promotes awareness through fliering, informal discussions and educating ourselves.

ESTEEM would like to do

programming on a

more

wider array of topics including multi-cultural and men’s programs, conduct research on emerging topics, create multi-media innovative programs to encourage attendance, offer more training for RAs, student leaders, faculty and staff, outreach efforts into Durham schools, nutri-

Realizing the environmental potential benefits that could be afforded with this technology, four years ago, the Facilities Management Department began researching and analyzing the practicality of adding AFVs in its maintenance operation.

without washing their hands. Leam to wash your hands thoroughly, not only after using the restroom, but also before eating. Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth if at all possible. These are the typical routes of entry of most infectious agents, not only the weaponized ones. A study of healthcare professionals injected a fluorescent powder up their nostrils and examined them with ultraviolet light at the end of the day. The powder was invariably found spread all over their garments and skin. Wash your hands after handling soiled objects, such as money, shared newspapers, and yes, mail. Are gloves and masks necessary for handling mail? I’m sure the manufacturers of these items would like you to think so, but I don’t feel this is necessary. Besides, in order to protect against inhalational anthrax, special masks are necessary, and if they are not fitted perfectly, they provide no protection. Gloves may provide an additional amount of protection for individuals with open wounds on their hands, but thorough washing afterwards should remove any contaminants. Carry a small container of alcohol-based disinfectant in case soap and water are unavailable.

The national media is just now addressing concerns of agricultural terrorism, but government specialists have discussed this issue for many years. Despite the feelings of vulnerability most Americans have about their personal safety, we as a nation are even more vulnerable to biological warfare against the foods we eat. If an organization could coordinate simultaneous attacks with jet airplanes, how difficult would it be for them to spread hoof and mouth disease to a pasture in

every 50 states? Many people can recall images of heaps of incinerated livestock carcasses smoldering in Great Britain in an attempt to control their latest outbreak, and it was limited in scope. The bottom line: wash uncooked fruit and vegetables before eating, and cook meat thoroughly.

I hope this discussion has had at least a slight calming effect upon the national angst concerning bioterrorism. At this point the odds of bioterrorism effecting our lives are minimal. The take home message: education, good hygiene and common sense

Church harms gay spirituality through neglect I have been reflecting for many years on the relationship between sexuality and spirituality. I haven’t written about it much, as the subject is both private and contentious. Yet the recent murders of two gay men in their homes causes me to revisit the topic.

What are people looking for when they

have sex? Ask 1,000 people, and you’ll get James 1,000 answers; but in Harkins the broadest sense, it boils down to communion, an embodied sense of connection to something greater than oneself. Orgasm is a moment when ordinary consciousness is blown away and, just for a moment, you might, with the right emotional bond and heart-preparation, feel a deep union with your partner (or yourself).

Some people feel a union with the Divine as well.

Our society is becoming more fragmented and alienating by the day. Is it any wonder, then, that so many are turning to sex, younger and younger, to fill the void? Actually, it is a wonder, since spiritual practice also promises a deep connection to the Divine. I’m astonished that I write that spiritual practice “also” promises this connection, as if it were second-best. A majority of Americans profess that this is a religious society, but a lived, palpable connection with the Divine so often takes a

back seat to any number of diversions, including, yes, sex.

Though we pretend otherwise, in our culture, romance and sex are endowed with religious power: you make- me complete, I’m nothing without you, and so on. At the same time, mainstream religion often sticks to safe, intellectual territory, with sermons and homilies that are thought-provoking but not too challenging, and styles of prayer that sometimes simply maintain the status quo of who we think we are.

Look at “The Simpsons,” in which religion has become a joke. Granted, the show is satire and therefore exaggerat-

ed, but the satire also serves as a challenge for modem religion to renew its relevance, to speak to modern problems with grace and gentleness rather than with fear and retrenchment.

It’s ironic perhaps that renewal may come from some old traditions that have been nearly forgotten in Christianity. I didn’t learn what it means to pray until I started to practice Buddhist meditation. In childhood, I learned a lot about talking to God, but meditation showed me that prayer can be space to listen to God, an exercise in surrendering your consciousness and allowing nature, the eternal, the Divine to teach you—not always the lessons you wanted to learn, but rather the lessons you need to learn.

Contemplative practices are not for everyone—but they are ideal for some people. These people are being hung

out to dry because so few churches and lesbians from spiritual practice, work proactively to offer other options Add to that the fact that giving ourfor prayer.

Blue Devils strive to add another ring to fingers

By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle Starting with its 82-72 national championship victory over Arizona in Minneapolis at the beginning of April, practically everything that could have gone right for the Duke men’s basketball team has gone right.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski was awarded with basketball s penultimate honor—being enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. NABC national player of the year Jason Williams resisted the temptation to jump to the NBA, instead deciding that he could receive his degree in the months following his junior season. Point guard Chris Duhon, center Carlos Boozer, and wing man Dahntay Jones demonstrated that they could flourish independent ofWilliams in leading Team USA to a gold medal in the FIBA World Championship for Young Men. The intensive postseason weight training programs of forwards Mike Dunleavy and Nick Horvath and center Casey Sanders erased any lingering doubts about whether these three juniors would have the muscle to compete effectively in the low blocks.

And Duke’s continuing success was practically assured by Krzyzewski’s recruitment of the No. 1 recruiting class of 2002.

But with all this success comes added pressure and higher expectations, and the Blue Devils know they will be forced to deal with both in their effort at repeating as national champions. These heightened expectations have only been exacerbated by Williams’ public speculation that his team could go undefeated, a possibility that even his co-captain Dunleavy believes is too early to predict with certainty.

If the opinion of Krzyzewski prevails, though, than this team will be able to combat these added pressures and continue to dominate as it did last year.

“We are a hungry team. We have put behind the fact that we won last year and are ready to do someDREW KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE thing this year,” Krzyzewski said. “I don’t sense anything but that. It is obvious how [the players] have JASON WILLIAMS hinted that he believes the Blue Devils are capable of See MEN’S BASKETBALL on page 30 P- going undefeated this season.

Young, upbeat Blue Devils look to take program to next level

By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

Last year, when Duke ran into Southwest Missouri State in the NCAA Tournament, the Blue Devils struggled, panicked and were soundly defeated.

Never again.

Coach Gail Goestenkors has made this regular season’s mission to make sure her young Blue Devils do not have the same problem this year.

“Sometimes last year, for instance, when we went to the NCAA tournament and we were playing five freshmen as much as we did, we were out of our comfort zone,” the 10-year veteran said. “When you’re not comfortable, you revert to what you’re comfortable with, and for our young players, that was going one-on-one and trying to create things for themselves. It wasn’t really an ideal situation. This year, I wanted to create tough situations for all of our players early on and throughout the season so that when we do get to the postseason, we will be comfortable and able to execute and play the way we want to play.”

The first tough situation will be the Nov. 11 season opener, when Texas Tech (No. 11 at the end oflast season) comes into Cameron for the State Farm Classic. After that, Duke faces Louisiana Tech (No. 6) and Tennessee (No. 5) in December neutral-site games, in addition to the regularly scheduled games against ACC foes.

By March, Duke will not be nearly as young and inexperienced as it is now. Goestenkors hopes that additional experience and an expanded comfort zone will translate into more NCAA tournament success.

With the graduation of Missy West, Rochelle Parent and two-time ACC Player of the Year Georgia Schweitzer, sophomore Alana Beard assumes the top leadership role on the team.

Last year, Beard was the precocious leader of a monstrous group of freshmen. She averaged 17.0 points and 3.5 steals per game. Now, the preseason candidate for the Naismith Award is making the transition to point guard.

CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO Beard, who was national freshman of the year last year, used her experience in leading the USA KRISTA GINGRICH will be one of at least three Blue Devils who will try to fill See WOMEN’S BASKETBALL on page 31 � the void left at point guard by the graduation of Georgia Schweitzer.

Chris Duhon will look to take a more aggressive role on this year’s team j«Mi

The

The

Sporting News thinks he is the fourth-best shooting guard in America, while Lindy’s ranks him as the nation’s eighthbest point guard. Yet despite his versatile abilities, he isn’t the primary scoring option for the Duke Blue Devils, or even the team’s most talented guard.

But that’s just fine with Chris Duhon.

“The only thing I want to do is win games,” he said. “If I have to core 20 points or no points—whatever it takes for this team to win—l’m willing to sacrifice and do whatever I have to do. The only ;hing I want to do is raise another banner up after we win another lational championship.”

If you ask most college basketball fans, they’d bet on Duhon’s foal becoming a reality this year. However, few realize the contrilutions that the Slidell, La. native makes to the team. Duhon icknowledges his occasional reluctance to shoot last year, but notes ;hat his role this year still won’t be one of a primary scoring threat.

“A couple things are going to change [this season],” Duhon said. think that I’m going to score more than what I did last year iecause I’ve grown enough confidence to take the shots that I did.’t take last year. I think I’ll score more, but I still won’t be the primary go-to scorer. I think that’s going to be Jason [Williams], Mike [Dunleavyl and Carlos [Boozer’s] job. In clutch situations, that’s ho we’ll probably look for.”

Duhon’s confidence, while slow in developing, is easily justified .e displayed his talent to the world this summer, leading the USA team to the gold medal at the World Championship for Young Men ompetition in Saitama, Japan. Duhon tied for second on the team with 11.9 points per game, while setting a team record by averaging 6.8 assists per contest.

Along with Duke teammates Carlos Boozer and Dahntay Jones, 'uhon helped the USA team go 8-0 by scoring 19 points and registering 14 assists in the USA’s 89-80 win over Croatia in the goldmedal game.

Truth be told, it’s probably something that Duhon already knew. Named the McDonald’s National Player of the Year during his senior year of high school and ACC rookie of the year in 2001, Duhon has already started to pile up individual honors.

His most recent highlights include

being named an honorable mention preseason All-American by Athlon and a top-50 preseason candidate for the Wooden Award, given annually to college

basketball’s top player.

Despite the recognition, Duhon insists it will not mean anything if the Blue Devils don’t cut down the nets in Atlanta this spring.

“I don’t look at individual awards,” he said. “If I go out, play 100 percent every game, and do what I have to do to make sure my team wins, then if I deserve awards, they’ll come. If not, who cares?

We still win. Any individual award is just extra.”

And after a year’s experience, Duhon knows better than anyone

what is expected of him to lead his team to victory.

“I understand what [my teammates! expect out of me, and they expect me to shoot when I’m open,” he said. Tm more comfortable with the guys. I know what they expect out of me. I have no worries.

I just go out and play the game I know how to play.”

Watching Duhon play his game will be not only the Cameron Crazies, but also his mother and younger brother, who moved to Durham after Duhon matriculated at Duke. His two fan bases bonded instantly, as the younger Duhon could frequently be found last year crowd-surfing among the Crazies.

“[They are] my only family, and for

them to share this experience with me means a lot,” Duhon said. “It means a lot to my brother, because he’s having a ball. He’s having the time of his life.

That’s all I want, for them to be happy.”

As happy as his relatives are, it seems that nobody could be happier than Duhon himself. Along with his enjoyment of Duke’s success and his individual accomplishments, Duhon loves just being able to be a sophomore at Duke.

“This is a great school,” he said. “I’m surrounded by great people everywhere I go. These are like the lawyers and doctors and businessmen that are running our country now. It’s a real honor to be here.”

“Georgia was our leader,” she said. “She carried us, and we are definitely going to miss her. We are all going to have to step up and assume her roles.”

During her first two seasons, Mosch posted solid scoring numbers, averaging 9.0 and 10.7 points respectively, certainly good stats for a team’s third

scoring option.

Yet, in one four-game stretch in ACC competition last year, Mosch caught fire to score a Duke-record 106 points, including outbursts of 29 points against archrival North Carolina, and 30 points against then-No. 15 Clemson.

Her scoring explosion coincided with the absence of teammate Alana Beard —a preseason Naismith player of the year candidate this season—and ''tly upon Beard’s return from injury. her third year in a Blue Devil uniform, Mosch hopes to role on the team and maximize her output when playing along-

score, and if we are playing up to our potential then we are going to do it. We are scorers, and I think that is one of the main things we bring to this team.”

In addition to increasing her scoring load, the normally reserved Mosch also feels thafi in her junior season, she should aspire to be a stronger leader.

“One of the main things that is part of being a leader is being vocal and talking to your teammates, encouraging them and helping them out,” Mosch said.

During the off-season, Mosch worked very hard, especially physically, in preparation to fill a larger role on her team.

Sporting a noticeable increase in muscle tone, Mosch is already seeing dividends from time she spent in the gym, particularly from playing against her team’s male practice squad.

“One of the main things I was focused on

this summer was hitting the weight room,” Mosch said. “I can feel the difference especially against the guys who are a lot bigger and stronger. They can’t push me around as easily.”

Mosch expects much more from herself this season. Although others point to her scoring aberrations last season as a result of her and Beard’s inability to mesh on the court, Mosch feels that her fluctuations were simply a case ofher not playing up to her ability.

“During my freshman and sophomore years, I don’t think I played as well as I should have,” she said. “I feel I underachieved.”

Realizing that only two more seasons remain before she graduates, Mosch is determined not to have anymore feelings of regret concerning her personal level of performance.

“The main thing is I just want to play my game, show what I have and play the best that I can possibly play,” she said. “Whatever I can do, I want to do it. I don’t want to keep falling short.”

Dunleavy's new du Forward Mike Dunleavy faces a whole new set of responsibilities for the upcoming season

By Craig Saperstein

a

The Chronicle

Three

minutes into the second half of the 2001 national championship game, Duke forward Mike Dunleavy knew he would need to step up in order to for the Blue Devils to win.

Dunleavy’s roommate, National Player of the Year Shane Battier, and his classmate, AllAmerican Jason Williams, were both struggling with their shots and upbeat Arizona was threatening to make a run similar to their early-secondhalf explosion only two nights earlier in the national semifinals against Michigan State.

So the Lake Oswego, Ore. native did exactly

recognize you,” Dunleavy said. “Sometimes it can be a little annoying, but most ofthe time, you really appreciate it.”

With his newfound stardom across the country, Dunleavy has high expectations to consistently perform at a top-notch level, and his first order of business in the off-season to meet these expectations was continuing to become a stronger, more physical player than he was in the past.

When Dunleavy entered Duke before his freshman year, he appeared lanky and disoriented with his ever-changing height. Despite be of the tallest players on the team, he reluctance to crash among the titans in the and often relegated himself to the perim

I ve worked on it a lot this fall and over the summer, and I m really confident. I’m really comfortable for someone who hasn’t played that much down there.

I think that it will work out well.”

While beefing up and playing a physical brand of basketball is something that Dunleavy has been

forced to learn since arriving at Duke, his penchant to lead has been ingrained in him since he first learned how to play the game. Growing up as the son of longtime NBA coach Mike Dunleavy, Sr,, and being surrounded by basketball greats like Magic Johnson—who played for the older Dunleavy’s Lakers—has given the Duke co-captain many examples of how to command a presence within his team.

And this tutoring continued since Dunleavy arrived in Durham, as he quickly befriended Battier and roomed with current Memphis Grizzly last year.

Throughout the season, Dunleavy picked up some of Battler’s leadership traits, and since Battier graduated in May, the two have talked a few times about Dunleavy’s new role for the Blue Devils.

However, Dunleavy cautions that his role as a leader is quite distinct from Battler’s role of a year ago.

“Last year, Shane was pretty dominant in his leadership role. It’s a different leadership role in that Shane and Nate were much older than us... so you had that ‘mother hen’ kind of leadership,” Dunleavy said. “Whereas this year, we’re all pretty much around the same age, so we’re not going to be telling guys to tie their shoes and all that kind of stuff. It’s more of a mature team, so it’s everybody’s responsibility. If there’s a few things here or there that need to be touched up on, then I’m going to get in there and say something.”

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski also recognizes that the responsibilities of Dunleavy and co-captain Williams will be different from their predecessors as captains.

“We have to have a different form of leadership.

Shane was such a dominant leader and Nate, in his

-in

own way, was the perfect example of the quiet leader,” Krzyzewski said. “I truly believe both those kids left a residue of leadership there that these guys can build from. I really see it primarily in Dunleavy.

Dunleavy is playing great. He looks great. He is trying to lead our team.”

In serving as one of the standard-bearers for Duke on the court, Dunleavy will not only have to assert himself as a leader, but will also have to put up big numbers in many facets of the game. With Battier gone, the junior will be one of a handful of Blue Devils—including sophomore Chris Duhon and junior Carlos Boozer—who will need to emerge as Duke’s second scoring threat behind Williams. Not surprisingly, the gung-ho shooter looks forward to getting more scoring opportunities.

“Of course, Jason is our main scorer coming back, but I think this year, you’re going to see a wider variety of guys—it’s really equal at the top,” Dunleavy said. “I think the gap between Jason and the rest of the team has really closed over the summer and all five guys are capable of stepping up.”

The Chronicle

Daniel the defender Freshman Daniel Ewing, a Duke fan for life, hopes to provide solid defense and ballhandling

By Andrew Greenfield The Chronicle

Duke

only has one scholarship freshman this year, but Daniel Ewing is not someone opposing teams can forget about.

A 2001 McDonald’s All-American, Ewing led his high school team to back-to-back Texas 5-A state championships in 2000 and 2001. As a senior, the Missouri City, Texas native averaged 19.6 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three steals per game.

While Ewing was heavily recruited by top basketball programs such as Kansas, Arizona and Syracuse, he selected Duke for reasons not necessarily associated with the Blue Devils’ rich basketball tradition, but for something else—its educa-

tional value.

“I’ve been a good fan of Duke since I was a little kid,” Ewing said. “But when it really came down to it’s just a great program. I made my to come to Duke] outside ofbasketball, my „

in case something goes wrong. Not is able to make it to the NBA, so therefore need a good education, and with a degree from ;e, you can do just about anything.”

It’s already obvious why Krzyzewski recruited the 2001 Texas 5-A high school Player of the Year.

Ewing typifies the stereotypical Duke basketball player. He is mentally strong, mature beyond his years, and plays great defense.

The 6-foot-3, 170-pound Ewing should contribute immediately even with Duke’s dynamic .

backcourt of Jason Williams and Chris Duhon. The freshman is a slasher and a scorer with a solid medium-range jump shot, something his teammates are encouraging him to take.

“Coach K said I’ll fit in the rotation real well,” Ewing said. “I have the ability to get in the passing lanes and bring the ball up the court.

Whatever the situation is, I’ll be able to do whatever is asked of me. Right now, I’m just trying to fit in and learn the plays so when it comes to game time, I’ll be ready.”

At the start of last year, freshman Chris Duhon was hesitant on the offensive end, looking more to pass than to shoot. Gradually, Duhon became more

aggressive and began to play a bigger role in the Blue Devils’ success. According to Duhon, he sees a lot of himself from last year in Ewing, and he continues to push Ewing to be more assertive on the offensive end.

“Just don”t hold back,” Duhon said he told Ewing. “Just go out and play the game that Coach K saw and recruited him to play.

Everybody is secure-about their jobs and everybody doesn’t care if he goes out there and scores 20 or 30 points a game. The only thing we want him to do is come in, seal the lanes, make shots, and be a basketball player.

“He’s real good. He’s a great defender. He’s smart, he anticipates real well, and he is very strong on offense. He’s very athletic, which gives us another athletic guard on the perimeter. I kind of think of him as who I was last year, but then even a little bit better, so I’m real excited about Daniel playing with us this year.”

Ewing’s athleticism, ability to score and suffocating defensive pressure, both on the ball and away from it, allows Krzyzewski to give Williams and Duhon a rest without sacrificing defensive intensity or offensive firepower.

“With [Ewing] coming in, we don’t have to take a step down as far as defensive pressure or what we are doing offensively,” Krzyzewski said. “Ewing is not playing like a freshman. His mentality, being on a great high school team, being a state player of the year... he has shown a lot of maturity and the guys have accepted him.”

With the season just around the corner, Ewing hopes to bring a lot of energy to the floor when he gets in the game. The freshman sees himself as an energizer, getting in the passing lanes, forcing some steals, and starting the fast break.

With each day, Ewing grows more and more confident and comfortable on the court playing his game. By season’s end, he might just accomplish his goal of becoming ACC freshman of the year and, more importantly, be an intricate piece in Duke’s run in March. A piece that opposing teams cannot forget about.

Up for the challenge Senior Krista Gingrich will attempt to fill the huge void left by Georgia Schweitzer’s graduation

By Adrienne Mercer The Chronicle

Knsta Gingrich has a lot on her shoulders this year.

As the lone senior on the women’s basketball team and the only player remaining from Duke’s 1999 NCAA-finalist squad, she will be expected to fill much of the leadership void after the graduation of two-time Naismith Player of the Year Candidate Georgia Schweitzer.

But Gingrich is up for the challenge.

“Each of qs has to recognize our roles on the team and execute those to maximize our team’s potential,” Gingrich said. “We just have to combine each of our personal roles into the team concept that we’re going to be pretty good.”

Gingrich was an obvious choice to be selected as a co-captain this year. Despite being plagued by a calf injury much of last season, she stands near the top in many of Duke’s all-time lists. She is sixth in all-time free throw percentage (.748), 10th in three-point shots made (71), 10th in three-point attempts (204) and 10th in three-point field goal percentage (.348).

Even with Gingrich’s presence, Duke’s team is still very young. It boasts two juniors, five sophomores—including reigning National Freshman of the Year Alana Beard—and two highly touted freshmen, Wynter Whitley and Monique Curry.

Despite leading a young group, Gingrich feels good about this year’s squad.

“I am definitely more confident in this team than I was in the [NCAA finalist] team my freshman year,” Gingrich said. “That year we had a good group of kids that liked to overachieve. If we can take the execution from my freshman year and put it with this much more athletic and talented group, it will be a good mix.”

Gingrich’s leadership will be tested at the start of the season in Duke’s daunting opener against Texas Tech, a consensus top-10 team. Opening strong was one of Schweitzer’s best qualities, and the Blue Devils hope that Gingrich can fill a similar roll.

“Georgia was our leader... more like our general,” junior co-captain Sheana Mosch said. “When she was out there, we just felt more comfortable. She told us what to do and we believed in her with all our hearts.

She carried us, and we are definitely going to miss her. We are all going to have to step up and assume her roles.”

Gingrich said she hopes that, with herself at the helm, this year’s squad will finish what was started during her freshman year.

“I think it’s really important for me to stay positive and try and help my teammates out, because I’m the only player left that went to a Final Four,” Gingrich said. “I was fortunate to get to one national championship game... and I think we are definitely talented

Kisss

year wanting to prove his worth to Duke and the NBA

By Greg Veis The Chronicle Matt Klein and Rudy

To

look into Carlos Boozer’s eyes as the sun rises on this new season is to catch a glimpse of true self-confidence.

“I just want to dominate,” the 6-foot-9 Alaskan declared, with complete assurance that his on-court supremacy this year is a foregone conclusion. “I think last year I had a good year, but it really was not a breakout year. I think this year will be that for me. I think I will dominate all season. I had some times last year where I had good games and good numbers, but I want to be consistent this year.”

In that one statement, Boozer did not explicitly say, but merely hinted at, the two competing factors in his life this year.

Number one: Boozer has an obligation to help the program that has propelled him to national prominence. Having spent the off-season leading Team USA in both scoring and rebounding with 15.9 points and eight rebounds per game at the FIBA World Championship for Young Men, he seems more determined than ever to assert his position on the team.

“He’s in better shape, he’s shooting the ball better, he’s catching the ball better,” said Chris Duhon, who was also his point guard with the US team this summer. “Everything is going positively for him right now.”

Without question, in order for Duke to recapture its championship, Boozer needs to play a more pivotal role on this year’s squad. When he suffered an

injury late last season and missed most of the Blue Devils’ tournament run, some thought that his absence created the opportunity for the team to play its best basketball.

However, minus Shane Battier, Duke will probably not possess the ability to adapt to life without its main force inside the key. His scoring ability and large physical presence underneath cannot be separated from the Blue Devils’ overall success.

Boozer will also take on another role this season as a team leader.

With “leadership by committee” as the terminology that all the hoopsters have used to characterize the delegation of responsibility at Duke this year, Boozer intends to be an influential member of the board.

“Last year, the leadership mostly came from Shane, and even Nate [James] a little bit,” he admitted. “This year, it needs to come from different people.... I think that my job of leadership [revolves around] my being down low on defense, giving me the ability to see everything and help people out when they are in trouble.”

Known for his constant banter around his teammates, he should slide into this new position easily.

“He will be one of our vocal leaders, all right,” Duhon said. “He’s always talking, and he knows the game pretty well. He’s just not going to say nonsense; he’s going to talk about stuff we can learn from.”

Number two: Boozer also has the NBA tugging at

Chronicle

him. Having already announced this season to be his last as a Blue Devil, Boozer, along with Jason Williams, will approach every game as an opportunity to climb up NBA teams’ draft boards. His prediction of dominance this season is as much for the success of Duke basketball as it is for his personal advancement. “[My going to the NBA] is going to take care of itself,” Boozer expressed bluntly. “It is something that I’m not going to worry about because it’s just going to happen.”

Nevertheless, before matching up against Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett with the red-hot pressure of professional sports beating upon him, Boozer remains loyal to his program and his university.

“I just want to end the year really big and win a championship,” he said. Then, shifting his thoughts toward next year, Boozer, just like any other student who realizes that his time on campus is rapidly dwindling, began to reminisce: “This is one of the great institutions in the country, and I am blessed that I got to come here. The great thing about this situation is that I will be in position to get my degree. I will only be four credits short by the end of next semester. I think I’m in a great position right now because I have a chance to fulfill both my dreams and my academic goals.”

Opposing centers should not read too much into the sensitive side of this big man, though. He has a national championship to win and a future to secure, after all.

From Scarlet Knig Blue Devil: A fresh for Dahntay Jones By lyier Rosen The Chronicle

As

time slipped away in Kent, Ohio and Rutgers was defeated in the first phenom round of the 2000 NIT, sophomore guard Dahntay Jones had to wonder er in practice what his life had become.

When Duke won the national championship, Jones was in the front row of the Jones was a highly sought-after recruit from Hamilton N.J.’s Steinert High stands, with nothing to do but cheer. He feels, however, that he learned a lot from School. Major programs such as Stanford actively pursued the 6-foot-5 wing, but the experience of sitting out. ultimately, Jones decided to join Kevin Bannon, whose camp he had attended since “Last year, I had the chance to see how championship teams interact, how they middle school, at Rutgers. stick together through tough times [and] how they become one and become a famAs a freshman, Jones exceeded lofty expectations. He averaged 10.7 points per ily during the course of a season,” he said. “I never got the chance to experience game and made the All-Big East freshman team on a Rutgers squad that anything like that. It was just overwhelming to see how everybody just came advanced to the second round of the NIT. together through the tough times.”

Great things were expected of Jones and Rutgers in the next season.

After being mostly hidden from national attention while sitting out the year, But expectations do not always match reality. Even though Jones led the team Jones exploded back onto the terrain of college basketball with a dominating perwith 16.0 points per game, Rutgers struggled, going 3-10 in games decided by six formance at USA Basketball tryouts. Jones, who had not made it past first cuts the points or fewer. Late in the season, Rutgers was in a free fall, winning just three previous year, was the leading scorer in these trials. When competition rolled of its last 11 games, dropping from NCAA contender to owner of a losing record. around, however, Jones spent most of his time on the bench.

As the season wore on, Jones was clearly unhappy.

“It was a great honor for me to be on the USA team,” he said. “Coach [Jim] “I was tough on Dahntay because I wanted him to be the New Jersey player Boeheim coached the team the best way he can. If I didn’t play, it didn’t matter as that stayed home and totally turned our program around,” Bannon said. “I think long as we were winning and we won the gold medal. I tried to contribute as much in retrospect, I probably put too much pressure on him.” as I could in practice and on the floor. I didn’t get as much playing time, but I guess Two months after the loss to Kent, Jones announced he was transferring to Duke. that was my role for the team.”

Jones has no regrets about his decision to come south.

presence on a team dominated by perimeter players, both succeeded in making an impact for their Blue Devil squad. While doing so, they formed a bond that could help them take the women’s basketball team to their first national championship this season.

Tillis excelled throughout the year and worked her way into the starting lineup for two-thirds oflast season while White was named the Most Improved Player by the coaching staff. After a summer ofworkouts with the Michigan team, coach Gail Goestenkors said that, “Crystal had played her way into a position where she would start for us at center.”

Goestenkors spoke of White’s achievements in the past tense because the center suffered a partial tear of two ligaments and three tendons in her ankle during a preseason pickup game. Her rigorous practice routine now consists of riding a bike for 75 minutes while her teammates practice, and afterwards lifting weights to improve her strength.

“She has been in the weight room and is getting

stronger, but she lacks the conditioning,” Goestenkors said. “It will take her some time to get back to her preseason condition.”

However White isn’t discouraged, and looks to improve such things as hand strength and quickness

11, but nothing is definite, “I’d like to return tomorrow,” White said. “It’s up to the trainer, though.”

White was not the only player to vastly improve her inside game, though, as Tillis worked on her inside game all summer and gained praise from the coaching staff for her efforts. She knew that Duke needed a dominant inside presence for the upcoming season, and spent most of her time on post moves and defense.

“I was basically focusing on my post game all summer,” Tillis said. “I went through all the workouts and lifted so I could play stronger inside.”

With the loss of Georgia Schweitzer last year and the emergence ofAlana Beard and Sheana Mosch as stellar guards, the Blue Devils once again have a dependable backcourt. The key for Duke is its frontcourt, and if the trip to Australia was any indication, the post play should be rock solid.

“By the last game [in Australia] those two were playing so well together in the high-low,” Goestenkors said. “Crystal has such long arms and she has great hands inside, and Iciss was at the top of the key and can hit the shot and penetrate from up there.”

After a year of playing together, the two sophomores now mesh on the court as well as off. Both play-

each other during practices and scrimmages last year, and that has led to a lasting friendship that will undoubtedly help these two work together.

“Iciss and I can really relate to each other,” White said. “Sometimes I can give her a look and she already knows what I’m thinking.”

The Blue Devils hope these two can provide interior defense as well as rebounding against a formidable schedule, including Tennessee and Louisiana Tech.

After falling to Southwest Missouri State in the Regional Semifinals of the NCAA tournament last year, Duke realized it needed to test itself more in the regular season to avoid another lapse ofconcentration

that could end its season.

“Last year, we ran into tough teams later on in the season and it was kind of a shock,” Tillis said. “By playing these really tough teams in the beginning, come Final Four time, it won’t be a shock to play a No. 1 or No. 2 team because you will have played everybody, from the weakest teams to the best.”

As for team goals, Duke can look no further than the rafters of Cameron Indoor Stadium, which are lined with championship banners from several decades. This Blue Devil team has set its sights on the loftiest of goals.

“We want to basically to win it all; the regular season, ACC and national championship,” White said.

Many ACC teams could pose challenge to Duke

By SHAWN NICHOLLS The Chronicle

Some of the most competitive women’s basketball in the nation took place in the ACC last year. Six of the conference’s nine teams received an NCAA tournament invitation, the highest percentage in the nation. And what’s scary, at least for the other conferences, is that all of the teams have improved.

Meeting its preseason predictions, Duke topped all teams last year with only three conference losses and later claimed its second consecutive ACC tournament title, something it is expected to contend for again this season.

The rest of the conference, however, was a logjam. The next six teams were separated by just three league wins, something that guarantees another exciting and unpredictable year of basketball.

Maryland is a program on the rise, and should improve on its 8-8 conference record. Coming off a year in which it gained its first tournament berth since 1997, the Terrapins are the only ACC team to return all five starters, including All-ACC freshman team selection Kiki Wimbush, who was second in the league in assists.

What makes the Terrapins’ backcourt especially interesting is the return of Vicki Brick from a season-ending ACL injury. Wimbush replaced Brick in the starting lineup last year, and Brick will press to get her position back. Even the possibility of having both stars on the court at the same time has not been ruled out by coach Chris Weller, something that gives warrant to Maryland’s top-20 pre-

season rankings by the Women’s Basketball Journal and Athlon Sports.

A year ago, Clemson finished second in the conference with a 10-6 record, and ended the season ranked 22nd in the nation. Second-team All-ACC junior guard Chrissy Ford and her backcourt partner Krystal Scott will need to repeat their stellar performances if the Tigers hope to build on their strong finish.

“In my opinion, our backcourt is the best in the ACC,” coach Jim Davis said.

“We have quickness, shooting ability and athleticism. I like our guard situation.

This backcourt compares to some of the best we have ever had at Clemson. I think this will be the deepest and strongest [team] we have had in my tenure.”

Both N.C. State and Florida State finished 9-7 in the conference play last ; ; year, and this season, both return three 7 starters. The Wolfpack surged to wins in seven of their last eight regular-season games, and then advanced to the ACC I tournament final where they fell to the

season,” said junior Carisse Moody, N.C. State’s leading scorer. “It’s nice to be ranked so high preseason, but we would rather be ranked high at the end of the season, preferably number one.”

Florida State’s first winning season since 1991, which included a victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and a semifinal appearance in the conference tournament, earned Sue Semrau ACC coach of the year honors. The Seminblqs, who ended the season ranked 25th, return three starters, Although they do not have the firepower to compete for the league championship, they do have the ability to surprise a few teams.

Rounding out the top six from last year is Virginia, who returns two starters, including lone senior Telisha Quarles. Not returning because of injury is Marcise Dickson, who played in all 32 ofthe Cavaliers’ games last year, starting in 15. A young squad may put Virginia’s streak of 18 consecutive NCAA toumaBlue Devils. ment appearances in jeopardy.

A strong appearance in their seventh “There is no way we are going to be straight NCAA tournament, which able to field a team without first-year ended in the Sweet 16 to eventual [players] on the court,” coach Debbie NCAA runner-up Connecticut, as well Ryan said. “Obviously, first years are as the return of Terah James and going to have to play and newcomers are Kaayla Chones from season-long going to have to play.” injuries, has helped earn the Wolfpack a Of the teams not making an appeartop-10 preseason ranking in several ance in the NCAA tournament, UNC publications, and even has them ranked stands to improve the most. Even three spots ahead of Duke by the though its roster contains only two returning starters and five freshmen, Women’s Basketball News Service.

“The team is very excited about the the Tar Heels will receive a huge boost possibility of having such a special from the return of senior guard Nikki

Teasley, who took last year off. The 2000 ACC tournament MVP is a preseason Naismith candidate for the third time in her career.

“There’s no doubt Nikki can make a difference for us,” coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “She can be a go-to player and basically take over a game when she needs to, which we missed last year in some close games.”

Even though Georgia Tech struggled last season to a losing record and a firstroupd defeat in the NIT, the four starters that combined for 59 percent of the team’s scoring are back, and that nucleus could push the Yellow Jackets to the middle of the ACC pack.

Meanwhile, Wake Forest had little from last season to build on, dragging to only three conference wins. However, the Demon Deacons did push Duke to overtime in the first round of the ACC tournament, and that momentum could carry over to this season. In commenting on preseason workouts, coach Charlene Curtis said Wake Forest is going to be a much more athletic and skilled team than a year ago, something that should help it improve over a disappointing season.

With improvements across the board, the ACC should reaffirm its status as a powerhouse conference in the country, and could send as many as seven teams to the NCAA tournament, something the Blue Devils and coach Gail Goestenkors are looking forward to. “[The ACC’sJ incredible this year,” Goestenkors said. “Every team will be better. It is going to be very, very exciting.”

Terrapins believe this season could finally be the one

By GREG VEIS The Chronicle

Having crossed the threshold into the upper echelon of college basketball in 2001, Maryland finds itself cocked to explode into the 2002 Final Four, looking to claim a national championship that it certainly possesses the talent to capture.

However, the same assassin, with no love lost, may not be ready to bow down to its conference adversary quite yet.

After having purchased its bulletproof vests long ago, Duke has been impervious to their foes’ improvement throughout the Gary Williams’ era.

“When you are in a league with a team that has been the best team in the country for the last 10 years, there will always be questions about how you match up with Duke,” Williams said. “But there are too many other good teams that you have to play to focus on one team.

“We lost to Duke three times last year and still made it to the Final Four, so Duke doesn’t control our year. They may control who wins the ACC, but not where we end up at the end of the year.”

Regardless of whether Williams uttered those words in truth or in an attempt to deflect the rampant chatter about his team’s fixation with their fierce rivals, on paper the Terrapins remain one of the strongest teams from top to bottom in the country.

Nobody can deny Lonny Baxter’s emergence as one of the premier big men in college basketball. Ending last season with 15.6points and 7.9 rebounds per game, the 6-foot8, 260-pound Maryland-bred behemoth nabbed the most outstanding player award of the NCAA’s West region en route to leading his team to the Final Four. Perennially underestimated, Baxter enters the year hoping to gamer respect from NBA scouts.

Baxter will receive some much needed help underneath from junior college transfer Ryan Randle, junior Tahj Holden and sophomore Chris Wilcox.

And that’s saying a lot considering the talent the

Terrapins have in the backcourt.

Drew Nicholas, who boasts a 42-percent average from behind the arc and excellent overall skills, does not see any action at the opening tipoff because, with junior assist-specialist Steve Blake at point guard and the high-flying, 18-

However, Williams still cannot help comparing his backcourt to Duke’s. “Steve Blake and Juan Dixon are a really good combination,” he said. “But in our league, we are looking at a Chris Duhon and a Jason Williams, which is probably the best backcourt in the country.”

With unlimited skill but a wobbly hand, Maryland will once again take aim at a national championship, knowing full well whom it will have to defeat on its journey.

UVa’s ‘thunder and lightning’ could be dangerous

By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle “We’re trying to not go on the road this year.”

Virginia s coach Pete Gillen wishes it could be that easy to resolve his team’s greatest difficulty last year, a 5-6 road record. If the Cavaliers had been struggling with breaking .500, that record might have been acceptable. But the ’Hoos went 14-1 at home.

The raucous crowds at University Hall helped Virginia upset Duke, North Carolina, Maryland and Tennessee last year. Support will continue at home, where this fall the student government p.assed a proposal for regulating ’Hooville, Virginia’s answer to Krzyzewskiville.

“We have a great home court,” Gillen said. “The fans are great. We’ve been fortunate. Our style becomes like a fury, like an inferno when we’re playing and the crowd is going.

But we have to bring our own lightning on the road.”

Gillen’s team has lightning and it has thunder this year.

The lightning comes in two forms. Junior Roger Mason, Virginia’s leading scorer from a year ago, returns, but will shift over from shooting guard to the point, in the wake of Donald Hand’s graduation and Majestic Mapp’s knee injury, which will keep him out of action for the second straight year. Senior small forward Adam Hall is another versatile athlete whose amazing leaping ability allows him to play much larger than his 6-foot-5 body, but he will play a lot of two-guard this season.

Thunder is personified by the members of Virginia’s athletic, bruising frontcourt. Six-foot-8, 265-pound center Travis Watson anchors the frontline with his athletic play.

Senior captain Chris Williams and sophomore standout J.C. Mathis round out the starting frontcourt. Massive freshman Elton Brown will provide depth for the Cavaliers.

The starting lineup may change as freshman Keith Jenifer grows more comfortable running the point. Although Mason appears to be making the transition to point guard well, he is more comfortable and more valuable scoring.

Gillen, who recently inked a 10-yeaf deal with Virginia worth more than $9 million, has been impressed by the talent he sees in practice.

“I think we’re the most talented [we’ve ever been] as far as l-to-10 or 1-to-ll [on the depth chart],” he said.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

CHRIS WILLIAMS and Virginia present one of the conference’s most athletic squads.

The Cavaliers, who were picked third in the ACC by the conference’s media voters, will look similar to last year, but with more experience and depth up front. The loss of Hand and reserve guard Keith Friel raises some questions about the backcourt, but Gillen ought to have this deep basketball team out running even more than last year.

Ever cautious, the coach does not want to give overambitious expectations to a team he considers his most talented ever.

“We have the potential to be better than last season, but once again, there’s no guarantee,” he said.

Young Tar Heels in danger of ending 38-year streak

By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

The year was 1963. John F. Kennedy was president, the country’s biggest enemy was the Soviet Union, and Beatlemania was just hitting the shores of the United States. 1963 was also the last time the North Carolina Tar Heels finished lower than third place in the ACC. Back then, current coach Matt Doherty was a year old, and his players were not alive. While many things have changed since then, Carolina basketball has, more or less, been a constant.

Whether UNC’s streak continues will depend on a lot of “ifs” in Chapel Hill: If Doherty’s freshmen can produce, if Kris Lang can play center, if Jason Capel can turn into the star he was supposed to be, if the Heels catch a few breaks.

The biggest one will be the freshmen, mainly because UNC lost so many good players last year. Brendan Haywood and Joseph Forte went to the NBA while Julius Peppers and Ronald Curry will be busy preparing for the NFL. That means that Jawad Williams, a 6-foot-7 forward, must live up to his billing as one of the best newcomers in the country. He’ll be accompanied by Jackie Manuel, Melvin Scott and 7-6 English project Neal Fingleton, but he’ll be starting the first game and helping lead the Heels in scoring by the end of the season.

“The freshmen are a lot more advanced than they were when I was playing because they are exposed to so much more competition and travel,” Doherty said. “Hopefully, they will step up. Yet the nerve-wracking thing to a coach CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO is you haven’t seen them yet.”

JASON CAPEL and North not picked Carolina were to finish in the Although it is not ideal, Doherty is not worried—after ACC’s three the time the of the top in history preseason for first poll. all, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski went from a mass exodus at the end of 1999 to the No. 1 ranking in 2000, mainly “I’ve already had the mindframe set that I am playing using freshmen. Of course, he had Shane Battier and Chris the five position,” Lang said. “Jason Capel and everyone Carrawell to help, while Doherty has Lang and Capel, two else is going to have to hold down the four.” players with star potential that have yet to show it.

Prosser wants to transfer success at Xavier to Deacons

By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle one Michigan State football fan says to another fan, u Did you here that the Wolverines are going to play their home games on cardboard this season?”

“Why’s that?” the other responds.

“Because Michigan always looks better on paper.”

The above statement could very easily be applied to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons of the last few seasons.

But this season, under the guidance of new coach Skip Prosser, the Demon Deacons hope to shed the underachieving label.

“I hoping that the way that the year ended up, and in all honesty, for the seniors the way their three years ended up, that they would approach this year with a tremendous sense of urgency,” Prosser said. “We need to atone for what hasn’t been done the last few years, and I can’t dwell on what happened. I taught history for 13 years. I know there isn’t much we can do about it.”

Prosser arrives in Winston-Salem after a very successful seven-year tenure as the coach of Xavier University.

Under Prosser’s guidance, Xavier posted a 148-65 record, and won 20 or more games seven times.

Prosser’s primary task this season may be to get more out of 6-foot-9 forward Darius Songaila.

Songaila’s imprdssive play in the 2000 summer Olympics led many to believe he would be a dominant force in the conference last season.

But marred by consistent foul trouble, Songaila average 13.2 points and only 6.2 rebounds.

“We really need him to stay on the floor,” Prosser said.

“He’s going to play a lot of minutes. He’s our best scorer and our best post defender. We’ve talked a lot about him avoiding foul trouble. I’m hoping he can avoid the unintelligent fouls.”

While Songaila will provide the inside presence, the Demon Deacons scoring will come courtesy of junior wingman Josh Howard.

Howard led Wake Forest in scoring as a sophomore, averaging 13.6 points per game. That number figures to improve significantly this season as Prosser plans to change the Demon Deacons style of play.

Typically a half-court team, Prosser plans to have Wake Forest run the up-tempo offense that led Xavier to

national prominence.

Howard figures to play a major role in this attack.

Anticipating his success in the new system, ACC coaches named Howard to the preseason second-team all-ACC squad.

The Demon Deacons will receive additional scoring punch from Craig Dawson and Northwestern transfer Steve Lepore, who will compete for time at shooting guard.

“It’s too early to tell,” Prosser said. “But I think they have both done well. I am pleased with both Craig and Steve.”

Tech plans to shock ACC for second straight year

By CHRISTINA PETERSEN The Chronicle

For Paul Hewitt and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, this season is all about surviving the fatal fives.

The Yellow Jackets lost five seniors from last year’s squad, including 6-foot-11 center Alvin Jones, who averaged 13.4 points per game. Tech returns only five players, two of which were starters, and Hewitt has the added challenge of acquainting five freshmen to the highly touted ACC. With so much turnover, most pollsters have picked Tech to finish near the bottom of the ACC. However, Hewitt, last season’s ACC coach of the year, refused to worry about preseason standings and predictions.

“They picked us eighth or whatever last season,” Hewitt said. “They’ve probably got us eighth or ninth again this year. That suits us just fine. Our goals don’t change. Our goal is to be back in the NCAA tournament.”

Before Tech can even think about getting back to the Big Dance, though, the Jackets will have to overcome a series of setbacks that live up to the their nickname, the Ramblin’ Wreck.

The first blow came when 6-8 center Michael Isenhour was diagnosed with acute lymphonic leukemia. Although Tech’s immediate loss is the Air Force transfer’s experience on the floor, more worrisome is his condition’s effect on team morale.

“His teammates have been supportive, but believe it or not, he’s been more supportive for his teammates than anything else,” Hewitt said. “His attitude and the way he represents himself when the guys come to visit him has been quite a relief for our players.”

With the loss of Isenhour and Jones, Hewitt no longer has a solid center to pound the ball into over smaller defenses like last season. This year, he must concentrate on his guards and allow his two sole returning starters, point guard Tony Akins and shooting guard Marvin Lewis, to lead the team.

Akins constitutes one of these perimeter strengths, as he posted a 41.9 percent mark in three-point shooting—good enough to rank third in the ACC—and averaged 14.5 points per game last season.

“When you’re this young [of a team] Hewitt said, “the one place where you want to have experience and talent, which he does, is the point guard position. For us, there isn’t a more important player on the floor” To complement Akins and Lewis, Tech delivers a quintuplet recruiting class, with its most notable addition in 70 center Luke Schenser of Hope Forest, South Australia. ”

With the relative youth of Tech this season, the Jackets will be hard-pressed to repeat last season’s surprise finish, but as Hewitt pointed out, that’s what everyone said last year.

Sendek shakes up lineup in hope of greater stability

By ADRIENNE MERCER The Chronicle

H/mlf

Most folks in Raleigh value a little stability. Maybe they shouldn’t watch N.C. State basketball this year.

For coach Herb Sendek’s sixth year, he has shaken up the lineup dramatically. One of his goals for the team is to make all the players as versatile as possible. Because of that, everything is so new that even the returning players do not look the same.

One of the most engaging aspects of our team right now is our positionless nature,” Sendek said. “We’ve been able to construct a motion-type offense that really takes advantage of that interchangeability. I think any number of guys can bring the ball up the floor for us, and at times, we might even have our forwards do that.”

The problem is that no one really knows what the Wolfpack will do this year. There’s a big chance they could win a lot of games and be major contenders in the ACC and even make it to the NCAA Tournaments. But there’s also the chance that all of this could backfire and the Wolfpack could end up right where they were last year, losing to Duke in the ACC tournament.

State held its annual Red-White scrimmage, which boasted a stronger-than-ever senior Anthony Grundy than ever before. Seniors Archie Miller and Brian Keeter, along with junior Clifford Crawford, also appear to have improved.

“As much as things are new for [the freshmen], we’re going through the same things with learning new schemes OMAR QUINTERO/THE CHRONICLE on offense and defense,” said sophomore forward Marcus ANTHONY GRUNDY and N.C. State will attempt to end their long NCAA Melvin. “Some of us pick it up faster than others, so we’re drought in 2001-2002 amidst coach Herb Sendek’s job pressures. able to help each other out.”

One positive factor is the heralded arrival of the 6-foot 6, determine whether they were good changes or bad. But 180-pound Julius Hodge. On Oct. 28, he was chosen by the Sendek has positive expectations for this year. media as ACC Preseason Rookie of the Year. One cannot “I think everybody who follows the Wolfpack is anxious talk about the Wolfpack this season without mentioning for us to go to the NCAA tournament,” he said. “Right now, him. Hodge scored 15 points in the scrimmage, including a that is being held as the threshold measure of success for last-second layup that won the game for his side. our basketball program. Nobody wants to accomplish that Sendek also changed the game strategy to be more upmore than the players and coaches on the staff. That’s a tempo than last year. So another positive is that everyone goal for us, and we’re going to strive with everything we is physically getting quicker. Also, assistant coach Larry have to make that a reality. If this team can have some Hunter, is now the No. 1 assistant to Sendek. With all these early success and gain confidence and continue to make changes to the Wolfpack, only regular season play will improvements, that’s certainly a realistic goal for us.”

Pair of North Carolinians lead FSU into new season

By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

Semlnoles

To end its dismal 9-21 season last year, Florida State lost to Clemson in the play-in game of the ACC tournament. This was one of many low points since the Seminoles joined the conference in 1991.

After a few years of getting accustomed to the intense ACC environment Robinson seems very optimistic about his squad this year. The Seminoles return All-ACC freshman Michael Joiner and guard Monte

Cummings, both of whom helped the Seminoles to their nine victories last season.

They also welcome Anthony Richardson, a McDonald’s All-American from Raleigh, N.C., and Trevor Harvey, a community college transfer to Tallahassee. Robinson is very excited about the prospect of Richardson, who can immediately contribute to the team.

“I don’t think we will quite understand the impact that Anthony Richardson will have on our program just from a signing standpoint,” Robinson said. “I think we will realize his worth in the future. Not only from him scoring baskets on the court but with the general perception of Florida State basketball.”

The current image of FSU basketball is not where Robinson, or his players, wants it to be. This season could be a turning point for the program, but all personnel involved will have to put forth maximum effort.

“I am excited about coming into the basketball season with the players we have in the program,” Robinson said.

“They are all very eager to have a chance at being successful.”

Every schedule for the Seminoles has included the likes of Duke, UNC, Virginia and Maryland since 1991, which is already a very demanding test. To start off the season Robinson has given his team yet another task in the matchup with rival Florida.

In order to avoid another sluggish start, the team must come together and endure the tough losses, which have to be expected when playing in one of the best conferences in the nation. Robinson knows the keys for his team to excel this season, but there are still obstacles for them to overcome.

“How will our team execute our game plan?” Robinson

Those are some ofthe questions we have to answer.”

FSU’s talent level has been improving over the past few years, but the ACC is looking as dominant as ever. In order to make it to the postseason this year, the Seminoles will have to make it through the difficult times and take advantage ofthe opportunities in the non-conference schedule as well as stealing a few ACC games.

“I think all of our players have good athleticism, a high skill level and experience,” Robinson said. “All ofthose things are very important to the formation of our basketball team.”

Stockman, Hobbs anchor inexperienced Clemson

By FOZAIL ALVI The Chronicle

For the first time in years, the campus of Clemson University is actually abuzz about the upcoming basketball season. Notoriously known as a football school, Clemson basketball has always taken a backseat to the excitement generated across campus in Death Valley. But with one of their best recruiting classes in recent memory, not to mention a football team not living up to its preseason billing, the Tigers on the hardwood are looking like something special.

After losing its two best players, Adam Allenspach and Will Solomon, in the off-season, Clemson has just one senior in JUCO-transfer Jamar McKnight. But the Tigers are sporting the deepest team in terms of talent in coach Larry Shyatt’s three-year tenure atop the Clemson program. The Tigers will focus primarily on pushing an up-tempo attack to utilize that depth instead of relying on specific sets.

“We don’t want to look at it like [a set-up year],” sophomore Tony Stockman said. ‘We want to go ahead and start this year and see what we can do. We’re pretty excited about what’s gone on so far. We don’t want to say we’re young again and keep relying on that and waiting for years to come.”

The team also returns two of the most talented young players in the league in Stockman and Chris Hobbs. Both Tigers finished on last year’s All-ACC Freshman team and found their way into Clemson’s starting lineup for the bulk of last season. Stockman’s 12 points per game was tops for all ACC freshmen, while Hobbs’ 6.3 rebounds per game led the team.

Stockman and Hobbs will most likely be joined in the starting lineup by Ray Henderson at center, Dwon Clifton on the wing and captain Ed Scott leading the show at point guard.

Clifton almost did not have the chance to improve on his

encouraging freshman campaign. After suffering a fainting spell that was initially deemed a life-threatening heart defect, he was cleared by doctors who claimed the sophomore had a much more passive illness related to fatigue.

Clifton’s return was perfectly in sync with the first practices for the new freshmen class. The group is headed by swingman Chey Christie and power forward Sharrod Ford, both of whom were top-rated prospects in what Shyatt deems possibly the best recruiting class in Clemson history.

“It’s a wonderful class,” Shyatt said. “They are going to

Those guys came into the program as very much unproven, high-level high school players that are now in the NBA. Individually, they may not be as talented as some of the other Parade All-Americans, but collectively, we think they can have the same impact.”

During these few weeks prior to the season, the Tigers have already set a realistic goal of a top-five finish in the ACC and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. With the exciting brand of talent coming in from the freshman class in addition to the returners from last season, Clemson may very well be the wild card team in the ACC.

In addition, the team’s only senior, 24-year-old Matt Christensen, is said to be in his best physical shape in years, having shed five-to-eight pounds in order to take pressure off his chronically ailing knees. If he and Horvath are able to maintain injury-free seasons—a big if considering the medical history of each—then the Blue Devils will be able to utilize a number of different lineups to keep their opponents constantly adjusting.

Krzyzewski has also been pleased with his team’s improved passing, an area that was a strength last year, but which has been upgraded this year because of the team’s experience.

“This team can really pass,” Krzyzewski said.

“They have done some beautiful things in practice, and part of that is because they are so unselfish. I don’t think there is anything more beautiful in basketball than a great passing team. [Basketball] is a game of connection, and the pass is the great con-

Williams believes that, despite the fact that a national championship makes a team an even greater target, his experiences in his first two years at Duke will be quite beneficial in his final season.

“We’re always a team that’s being shot after,” Williams said. “I think that’s what makes us the team we are. Especially this year, everybody’s going to label us as defending champions. I think the big thing for our team is that we don’t label ourselves that way.”

In their attempt to create a different identity from their predecessors, the 2001-2002 Blue Devils will clearly be able to distinguish themselves in a few areas. Of the improvements made throughout the preseason, none has been more apparent than the Blue Devils’ increased quickness, both mentally and physically. While Duke lost its spiritual leader in forward and consensus national player of the year Shane Battier, it gained considerable foot speed in its projected starting lineup with the inclusion ofthe athletic Rutgers transfer Jones.

Furthermore, instead of bringing hard-working but slower senior Nate James off the bench as they did last year, the Blue Devils can now spell their starting backcourt of Williams and Duhon by bringing in nimble freshman point guard Daniel Ewing, who has impressed Krzyzewski in the first weeks of practice.

Duke should also benefit from its deepest frontcourt in many years, as it boasts three proven juniors in Boozer, Horvath, and Casey Sanders, who transformed himself into a vital asset late last season when Boozer went down with a foot injury.

nection, at least that we can see.”

As for the connections that cannot be seen—namely, the chemistry that the teammates are able to forge in the face of ever increasing public scrutiny—the Blue Devils feel that personal accolades and notoriety will be put aside much as they were last season in order to pursue the common goal of all teams, winning it all. Just as Williams and Battier, arguably the nation’s two best players, needed to share the limelight in order to succeed together, Williams, Duhon, Boozer and Dunleavy—the four players up for the Naismith National Player of the Year award—all will need to display cohesiveness to silence the naysayers that say that the Blue Devils simply have too many egos to repeat.

“It depends on attitude,” Duhon said. “I think that if everyone’s ego gets in the way, then it’s definitely a problem. But I don’t think that’s going to happen with this team. Everybody has the same goal, which is to win. No one is worried about their individual stats or trying to prove something to get to the next 1eve1.... I think that’s what’s special about our team.”

SHEANA MOSCH and theBlue Devils will look to play an up-tempo style of offense during the 20012002 basketball season.

Improved athleticism could lead to run-and-gun offense � WOMEN’S BASKETBALL from page 4

Basketball Junior World Championship team to a bronze medal this summer to practice being a vocal leader.

“The coaches continue to get on me about talking more and more in practice,” she said. “I worked on it this summer, and now coming back in college, I’ve got to be a leader out there.

Hopefully, I can be it vocally.”

Joining Beard in the backcourt is junior Sheana Mosch. A member of last year’s All-ACC third team, Mosch averaged 10.7 points per game. She, too, will be practicing at the point and will likely see minutes there and at scoring guard. “[My role is] mainly to be a leader to my teammates,” she said. “One of my main roles is always getting out on a fast break and running for some layups, stepping up on defense.”

Coming off the bench at point guard are Krista Gingrich and Vicki Krapohl.

Gingrich, the lone senior on the team, was hampered by injury last year. This year, she plans to give them team leadership in addition to her excellent three-point shot and artful passing.

“It’s really important for me to try to stay positive and help my teammates out,” she said. “I’m the only player left who went to the Final Four, so I think I can help them out and let them know what it takes and what it feels like when you get there.”

The sophomore Krapohl saw limited playing time as a freshman, but is known as a solid true point guard.

While Beard and Mosch can and will

play on the wing this year, Duke has a pair of young athletes who excel there.

Sophomore Rometra Craig started four games last season, averaged 7.2 points per game, and came away with 36 steals. Craig is a gifted athlete who ran track in high school and is most comfortable running on the fast break.

Monique Currie, one of the two

Goestenkors expects her to challenge for a starting spot.

Michele Matyasovsky, who earned a starting spot by the end of last year’s sophomore campaign, looks to start again this year, and can play either forward position.

The mainstay of the Duke frontline

is 6-foot-4 sophomore Iciss Tillis. Last season, she averaged 8.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.

“She has really worked hard and gotten stronger [over the off-seasonl,” Goestenkors said. “She’s trying to post up. She understands for us to be successful, we need a post presence.”

Tillis also has the skills and shot to play along the perimeter, but will be stuck under the basket until center Crystal White returns from injury. The 6-5 sophomore was listed by the coaching staff as the team’s most improved player until she injured her ankle, partially tearing three ligaments and two tendons in a fall pickup game.

“We’re hoping to have her for the first game, [but] I would say it’s probably doubtful at this point in time,” Goestenkors said. “She has been in the weight room lifting five times a week so she’s actually getting stronger.”

When White returns, Duke will field its most viable high-low post game it has had in years.

“In Australia, by the last game, those two were playing so well together in the high-low,” Goestenkors said. “Crystal has such long arms and she has great hands inside, and Iciss was at the top of the key and can hit the shot and penetrate from up there and she is an excellent post passer. We were pretty good, so I’m looking for them to be a pretty tough combination in the post area with the high-low game In addition to those two, freshman Wynter Whitley, who Beard compared to ”
