U.S. proposes final Iraqi resolution Measure explains U.S. right to attack if Iraq fails to comply with U.N. inspections

By JULIA PRESTON

New York Times News Service

UNITED NATIONS The United States presented the Security Council Wednesday with a proposal for a resolution it hoped France and other wary allies would finally agree to, giving Iraq a last chance to accept rigorous weapons inspections and disarm, or face an American-led war.

France did not immediately accept the draft Wednesday, but the French ambassador, Jean-David Levitte, acknowledged that “very important progress has been achieved” with the new text, and said France’s goal was to win the broadest possible support for the measure on the 15-member council.

President Jacques Chirac agreed a telephone conversation with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, to try to “remove certain ambiguities” about the use of force, a spokesperson in Paris said.

Ambassador John Negroponte, who put the draft on the council table, called for a vote Friday. The resolution was also sponsored by Britain.

The latest draft, an intricate work of diplomatic filigree, both preserves the United States’ prerogative to stage an attack if Iraq fails to comply with the U.N. inspections, and also allows for the second round of council decision-making thatFrance sought, diplomats said.

In introducing the draft, Negroponte emphasized Washington’s commitment jn

to the inspections. Addressing the qualms of war-wary council nations, he called the resolution “the best way to achieve the disarmament of Iraq by peaceful means.”

In Washington, President George W. Bush’s spokesperson, Ari Fleischer,

aimed his comments at a domestic audience, emphasizing that the administration had not compromised its core goals.

“Nothing in this resolution handcuffs the president,” Fleischer said. But in a nod to France, he said Bush “has committed to” another council debate ifIraq did not cooperate with the inspectors.

Gephardt plans to relinquish House seat

By DAVID FIRESTONE

New York Times News Service

Rep. Dick Gephardt, who has struggled ST. LOUIS for eight years to return the Democrats to power in the House, will step down as minority leader, a senior aide said Wednesday night.

Gephardt’s decision comes a day after his party suffered a pivotal defeat at the polls, losing at least five House seats and the control of the Senate. The loss had caused open discontent among Democratic members at his leadership, and even his supporters said he would have to choose between running for president and leading the House Democratic caucus.

Gephardt’s aide said his boss has not yet decided on his presidential plans. But Gephardt’s regular visits to New Hampshire and lowa, and his eagerness in raising money,

have led many Democrats to assume he will be a candidate in 2004. Gephardt never intended to try to run for president while serving as leader, the aide said, but several Democratic members said his staff had made some preliminary calls today to sound out members on the possibility of

doing both.

The leadership vacancy will create an immediate struggle for succession among different factions of the party, and two ofthe leading candidates began jockeying for position Wednesday. Rep. Martin Frost of Texas, the chair of the Democratic Caucus and a political centrist, issued a statement announcing his candidacy.

Council studies capstone classes � Members of the Arts and Sciences Council Curriculum Committee are suggesting that certificate programs include a mandatory senior concluding course.

By ANDREW COLLINS The Chronicle The Curriculum Committee of the Arts and Sciences Council has proposed a new requirement for all certificate programs, a senior capstone course.

Faculty and administrators said they hoped the capstone would serve as away for students to conclude their

studies by linking material learned in previous courses.

“The reason [a senior capstone] is important is that all of these programs are very interdisciplinary,” said Professor of History Alex Roland, who chairs the Curriculum Committee,

“These programs don’t have the advantage of a major or minor Thompson where the discipline provides the linkage among courses.”

The committee will meet Thursday to discuss revisions before the plan is submitted to program directors for their approval. Roland said he hopes to have the capstone requirement finalized by the end of the month, and it would go into effect for the 2003-2004 school year.

For many certificate programs, the new requirement is insignificant because they already have senior capstone courses in place. Markets and Management Studies, the largest certificate program, offers a series of 10 capstone courses, for example.

“In our case, I think the senior capstone has been extremely useful as away to pool together what the students have learned,” said Professor of Sociology Gary Gereffi, director of the Markets and Management program. “Senior year is a good juncture to have students take seminars.”

The Curriculum Committee has also preemptively asked proposed certificate programs to integrate the senior capstone into their tentative curriculum. Kenneth Rogerson, research assistant in public policy _

Profs debate Iraq intervention

By DANIEL KENNEDY The Chronicle

In an inaugural series of lecture events for the sophomore class, professors from various departments expressed widely divergent opinions on the route that President George W. Bush’s administration should take in dealing with Iraq and its leader, Saddam Hussein.

The panel of five professors discussed issues involving cultural and international perceptions of the United States and its role in the world, whether war against Iraq would be just and prudent and speculation on how domestic politics and the recent election will influence the actions of the Bush administration toward Iraq.

The key area of disagreement focused on potential war with Iraq, which evoked views from an array of ideological backgrounds and political inclinations. James Joseph, professor of the practice of

public policy and former U.S. ambassador to South Africa, took an adamant stance against unilateral U.S. action and framed his argument in moral tones. “[War] goes against the values that define us as a people,” Joseph said.

On the other side, Peter Feaver, associate professor of political science, condoned unilateral action by assessing the underlying reasons for a multilateral approach. He took a different moral stance by questioning whether it- would be morally illegitimate to go to war without UN. approval.

“Why should the calculations of France be morally superior to our own?” Feaver asked.

One day after victory, GOP analyzes agenda

By MELANIE EVERSLEY Cox News Service

Republicans across the

country were counting a mountain ofpolitical gains Wednesday, after their historic election sweep the night before.

They took over both chambers of Congress, governor’s seats in several major states and gained ground in statehouses

nationwide.

Buoyed by President George W. Bush’s popularity and his campaigning for Republicans across the country, the GOP gained fresh, new political powers to advance its agenda.

The trouncing reached far and wide.

It prompted House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., to announce Wednesday he would not seek another term in the leadership job. Former vice president Walter Mondale, a virtual Democratic hero, lamented the lack of fresh talent in the Democratic party.

Bush, meanwhile, set a gracious tone, remaining low-key Wednesday, all the while knowing that the changes would mean likely victory for his judicial nominees and legislative agenda.

“He’s going to fight for his ideas and fight for his principles because he believes very strongly in them,” White House spokesperson Ari Fleischer told

reporters.

The president’s judicial nominees, stalled by Senate Democrats, should move quickly to approval. A patients’ bill of rights and an energy bill are

among the measures expected to coast through the new Congress thatwill take over in January.

“Now that control of the Senate has switched, I think it is far more likely that many of these good, bipartisan names will be able to move forward with some of the president’s appointments,” Fleischer said. “That’s not any type of statement about any one individual but I think the prospects for more bipartisanship have now increased.”

Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., who will resume his former seat as Senate majority leader come January, agreed with Fleischer.

“I will be able now to call up nominations, and I will be able to call up bills from committees,” Lott said Wednesday.

“That does make a difference. And you’re still going to have the president.

You know, he’s still going to have a huge impact on what we can accomplish, and I look forward to that.”

In Georgia, the sweep was all-encompassing as Republicans took over the governor’s seat, knocked out the longtime Democratic speaker in the General Assembly and held onto their majority in the state’s delegation to the U.S. House.

Democrats nationally had hoped to see a net gain of six seats in the House, giving them control, but instead, they lost at least seven seats, shaving their ...

CHI PSI from page 1 Life, said Chi Psi will be recognized by the University and IFC, which will allow them to interact with other groups, use resources that are available through the OFSL and publicize themselves through joint events.

He said the inclusion of another chapter reflects the inclusive community which greek chapters are striving to embody.

“This year, we’re concentrating on the coming together of the greek community,” said Adams, adding that Sigma Phi Epsilon was the last fraternity to join IFC in 1999. “The time was ripe for coming in.”

Many Chi Psi members said they believe their fraternity matches the new image and objectives of the IFC, which recently included changes in recruitment.

“Our group fits nicely with ideals that [IFC is] trying to do on campus,” said junior Matt Dolan, Chi Psi’s recruitment chair.

“We’re just really excited about the opportunity to

become a fall fledged member of the greekcommunity” Superina said IFC and its chapters are encouraging more responsible behavior and are transitioning the recruitment process in away that reflects Chi Psi’s recruitment system, which is based upon personal interaction with one-on-one dinners and community service.

“Our founders were initially disillusioned by IFC’s recruitment process in the late 1980s,” Superina said.

“The recruitment process has moved closer to what we value as brotherhood.”

Senior Christopher Brandaleone, a member of Chi Psi, said he has observed a shift in the greek community since he came to the University, noting that the changes have merged Chi Psi with the other IFC chapters.

“Being a senior, I saw the tail end of the old duketype [party scene] and the transition to more of a close&

knit brotherhood,” he said.

Chi Psi members said they look forward to being a part of a structured recruitment schedule and could use their outsider perspective to attract more male

freshmen to recruitment “I definitely feel what we’ll bring to the organization is the experience of not being part of the IFC,” Superina said.

“Having an outsider perspective, we’ll expand recruitment to target freshmen that may or may not join a fraternity,” said junior Justin Sabrsula, Chi Psi secretary. “We’ll bring a fresh point of view and issues affecting greek life.”

Chi Psi has been discussing the possibility of joining IFC for two years.

This year, Chi Psi came to IFC with a willingness to join, Morgan said, adding that two fraternities—Phi Kappa Psi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon—have been removed in the past two years.

Adams said the move was facilitated because the fraternity already had an established national headquarters and an alumni base.

“It’s great because they have been operating,” said Adams, who is also the adviser to IFC. “They have pieces in place.”

GEPHARDT from page 2 select a leader from the party’s left wing.

He was referring to the other leading candidate for the position, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic whip, who also issued a statement announcing her intention to run. To win back the House in 2004, Pelosi said, the Democrats need to draw clear distinctions between their plans and those of the Republican Party.

Gephardt’s aides said the congressman, who has represented a St. Louis district since 1977, spent the day discussing his future with his wife in their Washington townhouse.

Tuesday night, as he made his way around the hotel ballroom here, Gephardt clearly had a sense that his political hopes, both personally and for his caucus, had crumbled.

His smile seemed mirthless and frozen for the local television cameras as he refused to give up hope, but he acknowledged in an interview that the Democrats could not compete with President Bush’s popularity on security issues.

“Clearly voters are worried about security,” Gephardt said. “Clearly the president and the Republicans have dominated that issue, in part because he’s the president now. And he’s trying to address those issues, as he should, and people are worried.”

He said his party’s economic message was lost amid the special-interest cash that poured into the Republican coffers, citing in particular the contributions from the pharmaceutical industry that countered the Democratic platform of creating a prescription drug benefit under Medicare.

But many Democratic representatives have begun to express concern that the loss was not entirely due to external factors, and Wednesday several disappointed Democrats began openly suggesting that it might be time for someone else to lead them out of exile.

“When you get beat as bad as we’ve been beat,

you’ve got to look at everything, including the management,” said Rep. Gregory Meeks, of New York.

“We’ve tried and tried for years and the old plays aren’t working.”

IRAQ from page 2 even more skeptical than France, made no shift Wednesday. American officials say they believe that China, the fifth permanent member, may vote in favor of the resolution if France does.

The six-page draft, the third Since the negotiations began in mid-September, conserved the administration’s bottom line, placing no constraint on Bush’s right to decide when to send American troops to topple Saddam. But it also showed movement by the administration, in the face of the resistance of its allies, toward accepting the arms inspections as a means to force Saddam to relinquish weapons of mass destruction. The president has said repeatedly that he does not believe the Iraqi leader will allow the inspectors to complete their work.

The new draft says explicitly that the council has decided “to afford Iraq, by this resolution, a final opportunity” to abandon its prohibited weapons. In the first draft, presented to the five permanent Security Council members in late September, the United States and Britain demanded to use “all necessary means”— shorthand for war—to disarm Baghdad regardless of the progress of inspections. In the current text, the words “all necessary means” have been buried in the preamble, where they have no operational effect.

The compromise intended to give both Washington and Paris what they want comes in adroit, if arcane, turns ofphrase in the action passages ofthe resolution.

In the fourth paragraph, the council would resolve that any failure by Iraq to cooperate, including “false statements or omissions” in a weapons declaration it

must submit, will “constitute a further material breach” ofits obligations. This breach alone would give the United States legal grounds for a military assault, American diplomats said.

But the same clause, reflecting France’s demand for a second stage of deliberations, also stipulates that the new breach “will be reported to the council for assessment.” Later, one of the closing paragraphs directs the chief UN. weapons inspectors to “report immediately to the council any interference” by Iraq with their work. The council would “convene immediately to consider the situation” The draft concludes by recalling that the council has “repeatedly warned Iraq of serious consequences” for its violations, a clear threat of war. Iraq has barred the return of the inspectors since they withdrew in 1998.

The new resolution sets up an inspections regime far more intrusive than in the past. It retains the authorization for the inspectors to interview Iraqi scientists in or outside of Iraq and to remove their families from Iraq, but leaves these decisions to the inspectors.

Iraq is required to provide the names of all its weapons experts.

The resolution eliminates special procedures established in the past for inspecting Saddam’s palaces and other presidential sites. Under the resolution, the inspectors would now have immediate access to any sites they choose.

A provision proposed by Washington for security guards from council nations to accompany the inspectors has been removed. But the draft still calls for “exclusion zones,” with no air flights or ground movement, around sites that the inspectors want to “freeze” for examination.

DSG from page 1 Committee of the Council puts up to vote.

“Although the opt-in system is definitely better

than nothing, as representatives of the student body, we must recommend an opt-out system as the most beneficial for students,” said DSG Vice President for Academic Affairs Lyndsay Beal, a senior.

-Beal and legislators in her committee have been meeting with members of the Council to discuss their sentiments on the issue. She said the faculty that the committee has spoken with has been split relatively evenly among those who are in favor of an opt-out system, an opt-in system, and both systems, as well as those who are not planning to attend the meeting.

“The possibility of an opt-in format is very high because professors do not want to not allow their colleagues to post the evaluation data online, and the opt-out system is going to be close,” Beal said.

The evaluation system was introduced online last year on a trial basis. Last semester, Arts and Sciences members narrowly approved a continuation of the system for another semester. If the Council rejects SAGES, it is unlikely that it will be considered again for some time.

DSG members pledged their full support for the

opt-out system, only questioning the difference between opt-out and opt-in and whether the Pratt School of Engineering has considered a similar system. “[Pratt] Dean Kristina Johnson is very supportive,” Beal said, “but we want to get it through Trinity first.”

Beal said she will now submit the recommendation to Witt, and the DSG executive committee will attend the Arts and Sciences meeting to demonstrate student support.

IN OTHER BUSINESS: Legislators also passed a

studies, said he resubmitted his proposed journalism certificate to the committee with a senior capstone course included, after he received a new checklist.

Roland said the main drawback ofthe new requirement is the possibility of infringing upon the programs’ curricular structure.

“Anytime you try to establish a single requirement for a large number of programs, you run into the difficulty of failing to understand how a particular program works,” he said. “[ln some cases], a capstone program might not work.”

Smaller programs may have difficulty adding a new course to their curriculum. Jane Gaines, director of the film and video program, said her program does not currently have enough qualified faculty to offer a capstone course in addition to core offerings.

Gaines, like other program directors, was nonethe-

resolution calling for the removal ofthe 24-hour quiet zone restriction on Central Campus—a policy DSG

said is inconsistent with other policies on campus and is no longer relevant because graduate students do not make up a significant portion of the Central population as they did when the policy was implemented.

Sophomore Andrew Wisnewski, an author of the resolution, said Central Campus Council advocates the removal ofthe policy, which he said would result in a better allocation of Duke University Police Department resources. “It’s an inconsistency issue, and it’s a problem with the cops,” Wisnewski said. Policies for other parts of campus for the weekends typically allow for noise after 5 p.m. and before 2 a.m. on weekends and midnight on weekdays, he added.

Also at the meeting, Director of Parking and Transportation Services Catherine Reeve and Vice President for Facilities and Athletics CliffDavison, a junior, made presentations about the state of parking and transportation, in addition to other facilities issues.

CAPSTONE from page 3

less optimistic about the capstone requirement.

Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College, said he could not imagine any negative implications to requiring a senior capstone for certificate programs and added there has been some discussion of expanding capstone requirements to major programs as well.

“The same rationale drives [the senior capstone] for the major as it does for the certificate program,” Thompson said. “One size won’t fit all here, but there’s certainly been some dialogue in our community about how to improve senior year.”

Roland agreed that a capstone requirement for majors would be interesting but said it would be very difficult given the variable nature of departments.

Trinity College has added several new certificates to its curriculum over the past five years, as interest sprung up from faculty members and departments.

Among the most recently added certificates are those in Information Sciences and Information Studies and Documentary Studies.

number down to 203. Republicans, meanwhile, gained four seats, giving them 227 members in the House. The House has one independent, and four seats remained

undecided.

In the Senate, Republicans gained at least two seats from the Democrats to give the GOP back their majority. One undecided seat remained in Louisiana, which holds a runoff election Dec. 7. Democrats took control of the Senate last year when Jim Jeffords of Vermont deserted the GOP to become an independent.

The GOP lost some big states among governors, but still remained ahead with 25 governors, compared to 24 under Democrats. One seat remained

undecided.

The election was historic.

It marked the first time a Republican president has gained seats in a midterm election since 1902 in President Theodore Roosevelt’s first term. Democrats have done the same only in 1934, under Franklin Roosevelt, and in 1998, under President Bill Clinton, said Betty Koed, assistant historian of the Senate.

“This election is unusual in lots of ways,” Koed said. “After two years of a presidency, typically people become critical of the president and, traditionally, his numbers will go down. The cases where it hasn’t have been cases of a national emergency such as the Great Depression, World War 11, and now we’re sort of in a war situation now.”

Tuesday night will be up there with other noted general elections. In 1980, voters sent Ronald Reagan to the White House to replace Georgian Jimmy Carter, a Democrat. They apparently did not like Carter’s handling of the hostage crisis and were fed up with inflation and gas prices.

That election marked the beginning of a 12-year Republican reign in the Oval Office. In 1994, Republicans led by then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich, another Georgian, took over control of the Senate and the House, where Democrats had held the majority for about 40 years.

Mondale, who was Carter’s vice president in 1980, lost to Reagan in 1984. On Tuesday, he called on the younger members of the Democratic party to

step forward.

“It’s up to them to work this out,” the 74-year-old Mondale said. “We have to move along. We have to deal with real problems as we go down the road... and that responsibility now is for the next generation.”

There are many reasons why voters booted Democrats out of seats from coast to coast, political experts said.

Voters were expressing their thoughts about the economy and jobs, the preservation of Social Security, education and making prescription drugs affordable, according to research by Public Opinion Strategies, a firm based in Alexandria, Va., that studies Americans’ attitudes about politics. Democrats apparently failed to convince voters they would be able to deliver when it came to these issues.

Americans also were expressing their support for the war in Iraq, said Lott.

‘What this message says is, this president does have a country that trusts him, respects his leadership and supports what he’s trying to do for peace and democracy and security at home and around the world,” the Mississippi Republican said.

disappointment among members of the department is typical when an internal candidate is a finalist but is not selected.

“Dr. Pappas was well-known by the department and well-liked by the department,” Ravin said. “We all think highly of him.”

Pappas could not be reached for comment.

Williams said that he was looking for someone with clearly demonstrated excellence and someone who could work in a complex environment that would include not only Medical Center departments,

but also the Cancer Center, the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy and the Duke Clinical

Research Institute.

“It used to be that chairs controlled everything, but the world’s too complex for that now,” Williams said.

AIDS from page 1 change things. This makes care fantastically difficult.” To combat this trend, several specialists at Duke are working together to promote awareness and serve those suffering from AIDS. “There needs to be a big public push,” said Rachel Stevens, project coordinator of the Duke Rural HIV/AIDS, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Cost Study. “We need to make our voices heard.”

Patricia Bartlett, a clinical social worker at the Duke AIDS Research and Treatment Center, said education about the characteristics of HIV and AJDS is a key ingredient to increasing awareness. “The education level of the area in terms ofthe understanding of the disease and the type of medications available is woefully inadequate,” said Bartlett, also a liaison to the Community Advisory Board Outreach Program.

Duke has been a leading actor in providing a conducive environment for AIDS education. For example, the University is involved in a peer education training program, enabling people with AIDS to teach each other about the disease and the types of available treatments.

The Partners in Caring initiative, part of the Medical Center’s pastoral care program, supports AIDS patients and is working to reduce the stigma of the disease.

Duke University’s Red Cross Club also provides community educational programs, and the Student Health Center offers free confidential HIV testing for students Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

“For a while Duke had stuck its head in the sand with regard to AIDS issues. But now there have been a number of changes, particularly with the education aspect,” Bartlett said.

Experts hope that by teaching the public about the spread of HIV and available treatments, they can effectively contain current cases and prevent further infections. “We have got to go out there and

tell people about the situation,” Whetten-Goldstein said. “This is a call to arms—something has got to be done. We’re not yelling at people; I consider this more of a cry of desperation.”

In addition to offering educational opportunities for those affected by HIV and AIDS, the University is providing more comprehensive patient care.

Robin Swift, project director of the North Carolina HIV/AIDS Training and Information Center, pointed out that substance abuse, stress, psychological disorders and post-traumatic stress disorders are all complications associated with HIV-positive patients. “It’s important to understand that HIV alone is not the only problem,” Swift said. “From the screening data, close to 40 percent of the people [screened] are triply diagnosed [with HIV, substance abuse and a mental disorder] and 70 percent are dually diagnosed.”

The Center for Health Policy and the North Carolina AIDS Training Center at Duke are participating in a national study to show how the social and medical issues of HIV treatment are interrelated. Additionally, Duke’s infectious disease clinic cooperates with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to screen for mental illness and drug abuse.

The South is the nation’s fastest growing area of reported HIV and AIDS cases, and North Carolina has the region’s third-highest incidence rate, especially among those who are economically disadvantaged and live in rural areas.

Experts identify education programs such as the ones initiated by Duke as the key to clearing the stigma associated with AIDs and halting the spread of the disease. “It’s a sad commentary to think that with all the years we’ve known about HIV and AIDS, these are still central problems that haven’t been overcome,” Bartlett said. “I don’t know any other disease in which people are so afraid—people are afraid of it and afraid of disclosing it. It’s the only disease I

know of like this.”

DELIBERATIONS SYMPOSIUM AND RECEPTION Celebrating the release of the third volume of Deliberations: A Journal of First-Year Writing at Duke University

Friday, November 8

2:30-4:3opm Von Canon B, Bryan Center Featuring a panel-discussion with the student-authors, followed by a heavy hors d’oeuvre reception.

Hear from our contributors about the writing process, the significance of making their texts public, and the place of the Writing 20 course in their adjustment to collegiate life and academic expectations.

FORUM from page 3 bility in the eyes of the world. “Our European allies are extremely unhappy with [U.S.] unilateral actions,”

Keohane said.

Bruce Jentleson, director of the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy, echoed Keohane’s viewpoint, stressing multilateral action as the most viable and credible approach to handle the situation.

“We need a strong [security council] resolution targeted to strong coercive inspection,” he said.

Jentleson agreed that not only must the United States be willing to cooperate, but the major countries such as France and Russia must also compromise to achieve a multilateral arrangement. “Ultimate credibility of the international system rests on this cooperation,” he said.

The forum also addressed the possible consequences ofUS. military involvement in Iraq.

Ebrahim Moosa, associate research professor of religion, castigated the Bush administration for its imperialist policies and its push to oust Hussein, and questioned the outcome ofUS. action.

“An occupation will mean loss of American lives, but more importantly many Iraqi lives,” Moosa said.

Joseph agreed that US. action will appear imperialist to many in the world, especially Arab nations.

“I am against the notion of regime change against Iraq because implementing it would seem like imperial conquest to other nations in the world,” Joseph said.

Keohane argued for decisive action, yet warned about the potential reaction from Iraq.

“There might be something up Saddam’s sleeve... that we’re not prepared for,” Keohane said. He also emphasized a looser timeframe for action.

“I’d be much happier to talk of action in a year when everyone is inoculated against smallpox,” Keohane said.

Feaver took a hard-line approach and questioned whether intrusive inspections were feasible in light of Iraq’s refusal to adhere to security resolutions for 11 years. “War is only feasible before Hussein crosses the nuclear threshold,” Feaver said.

Rees, a Chapel Hill native, is a thirty-nothing office temp who, through his homemade ClipArt strip "Get Your War On, also happens to be one of the sharpest voices of political commentary in the nation. Senior Editor Greg Bloom caught up with him to talk about his strip, which has exploded from office amusement to national inside joke.

At some point last fail, with the anthrax scares especially, things seemed to be getting so totally out of control—so unprecedented at least relative to my life experience. Coming in the shadow of a real tragedy which don't find amusing at all the terrorist attacks —it did seem like this added bonus of anthrax pushed it totally off the hook. And how else could you react other than making jokes about it? The situation just seemed so absurd, like I can't believe this is American reality.

So there was this kind of excitement....

ApocalypticRight, a lot of people experience this apocalyptic ecstasy. All bets are off, anything can happen.

War On > Many of your jokes work just because effective! I marlthey're so obvious.

Especially with those initial strips, a lot of them aren't really jokes at all. A lot of them are just really dark statements about what's going to happen in Afghanistan. They were effective because they were so simple—we're about to start bombing the poorest country on Earth, right before winter sets in. There's six million land mines down there, and we're going to start dropping food into those fields —like, let me just spell it out for you.

Do you think of your two guys as characters?

At first I didn't think they were actually characters, I just saw them as templates—these empty vessels —that I could dump these ideas, all my anxieties, into. But seeing it in a book, it looks like it's about these two guys with their own personalities, sitting in their offices talking about the war on terrorism. That was a big shift conceptually, at least for me.

You said before you don't like to joke about unpleasant things, but on the other hand there seems to run through all

Anti-war attitudes are stronger now, and probably more justified. Back in the Gulf War, we worked pretty hard to get the international coalition's okay before we went in there. And we were responding to an act of aggression—lraq invaded another country, which is pretty b01d.... I'm not necessarily opposed to a war in Iraq.

Actually, I wouldn't feel bad if Saddam's entire regime was shot. I just don't trust the timing and the rhetoric, and that's what my strip is kind of about—it's about language and how people talk about these things.

We’re Not Cheap. But esponding to the needs of our readers, we sent several writers out to find % m the best cheap dates in the Triangle.

While we're glad to take credit for any play you get as a result of our suggestions, don't blame us if your significant other dumps you for spending your one-year anniversary at Wal-Mart. Let the fun begin...

Unofficial Diploma

The order. It's all about the order.

When attempting to complete all five graduation requirements in one whirlwind of an evening, you've gotta consider which ones to do when. 'Cause a man's gotta think about the oi' wear-and-tear, ya know.

(Side note: This should not be a first date unless both of you are of, shall we say, "liberal tastes.")

Here's your best bet: 9 p.m.—Both you and your date should finish your work early at Perkins. Once you get your microeconomics out of the way, (lame joke alert) it's time to get your macroswerve on. Find a cozy nook in the corner of the sub-basement and get to love-makin'.

9:03 p.m. —After the cool-off cig, hop in the car that you've strategically parked in the Chapel parking lot and head down Chapel Drive. Unless a bus is coming, jam it to the left—wonky Brit-style—complete the rotation and head to East Campus.

9:11 p.m.—Having made such good time so far, you can cool your pace a bit. First, park your car next to the warehouse on the western side of the bridge (read on for the reason why). Then, take a short hike past Lilly Library and forcibly urge an unsuspecting Pegram resident to let you into his dorm and make your way to the second-floor single closest to Baldwin Auditorium. Finagle yourself across the archway, hop onto the dome and take in the stars. Even bring some wine and cheese and make a picnic of it.

10:01 p.m. —Climb off the dome, drop the dweeb in the second-floor single a shiny Washington for his hospitality and sneak to the backside of the Carr Building. An entrance to the tunnels is normally open there, and with some deft manuevering, you can wiggle yourself in.

Suck in the toxic fumes and steer clear of the satanic ritualistic material found on the top-floor of your point of exit—that's right, the warehouse where you parked your car. Way to go, slick.

10:53 p.m.—You may be tired, you may be weary, but there's still some pressing work to be done. Sneak into the Gardens' Lewis Street entrance and find a non-splintered bench in the Asian garden. Police flashlights are looking for unwanted intruders at this time, but if you're quiet (we know your partner certainly has nothing to be loud about), you should escape misdemeanor-free and diploma-ready.

—Greg Veis

Driving Your Imagination

I'm impressing my date with the only event that combines the imagination and guesswork of fake identities with the good old-fashioned adrenaline rush of joyriding. That's right, test-driving cars. It's free, it's fun and hell, they might be giving away a free muzak CD, too.

First, "Stan" and I throw on our'ripped jeans and free Marlboro t-shirts that came with our last carton and head down to Toyota of Durham. We're going to whet our appetite in the high-line world of pre-owned cars. With our new identities (Darla Lee and Bubba) and accents, we're ready to talk business. First, I spy a 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit—Darla Lee's dream car.

"Nev' in myyy liiife did 111 think ly'd own one 'a them fancy German cars!" she drawled. But Bubba won't have his fiancee rollin' around in anything but American.

"Ain'tToy-yo-tah American?" he asked. Not wanting to lose the sale, the dealer said, "Of course." So Darla Lee and Bubba got down to business and drove a 1986Toyota MR2 and 1988 Celica before Bubba said he couldn't part with his 1977 GMC Sierra pick-up, even though it hadn't started since since the last Bush was in the White House.

We ran home for a quick change and some new identities. Emerging in our Sunday best, we head to Performance Porsche in Chapel Hill.

Stan is Abe Froman, sausage king of Chicago, and l am his mistress, Peregrine, a disinterested model After making a fuss over the decor and horribly uncomfortable seating, we make Brent, the master of our "buying experience," run to

pool? Well, swimming in someone else's, of course.

In this most popular of trespassing trends since breaking the arm off parking lot gates, students find themselves splashing around for hours free of charge— assuming no fines or legal fees. And why not? Even if the date goes terribly wrong, you at least preclude the possibility of being left high and dry at its end.

Duke's Faculty Club, located next to the Washington Duke, boasts three impressive swimming pools—a large recreational pool,

a heated lap pool and a wading pool. Here there's something for everyone.

Wally Wi Really wow your date by taking him/her to "the swankiest place you know." Be sure to mention that you've "been waiting for someone special to share it with."

Drive to Wal-Mart. Tell your date that you "know -•w everyone here" and you can't wait for him/her to "meet the others." Leave the car at "valet parking." Shake the greeter guy's hand warmly and introduce your date to him as "the one I've been telling you about." Inform your date that your evening is just beginning and treat yourselves to a "carriage ride" on one of the big dinosaurs at the front of the store.

Next, stride purposefully around the store, addressing all employees as "old bean." Suddenly stop, get a far-away look in your eyes as you listen to the Muzak, and ask your date, "may I have this dance?" Pick up the red speaker-phone and make announcements to the whole store as if your date cannot hear you.

Appropriate statements might be: "It's going well so far guys, what do I do next?," "For the love of Pete, some-

Focus Only Skin Deep Bob Crane had it all: a wife, three kids and the lead role on Hogan's Heroes, a popular 1960s TV show. Then he met John Carpenter, an audio/ video equipment salesman with a voracious appetite for women. Something withtn Crane snapped, and Auto Focus tells the story of his disastrous lifestyle and resulting murder. This film never truly comes into focus, however, and the result is a disappointingly mediocre piece of shallow storytelling.

Tragically, Auto Focus's problems have nothing to do with its script, director or actors. The film seemingly holds the equation for GRADE: success: Greg Kinnear (Crane) and Willem Dafoe (Carpenter) are both forBmidable talents, and director Paul Schrader wrote the screenplays for such classics as Taxi Driver and Raging Bull and directed American Gigolo and Affliction.

Even with this team, Auto Focus still suffers from a disease I like to call "Hollywooditis." The topic of Crane's and Carpenter's self-destructive sex addiction should be no light matter, yet Auto Focus seems content to treat the issue with minimal severity and a fear of delving too deeply into the human psyche. This is a film on the verge of being great, but every time you think it's going to get serious, the scene awkwardly shifts and tension is avoided.

Crane and Carpenter's troubled friendship could have been a deeply interesting on-screen relationship, but the drama is repeatedly held back. As a result, the unfortunate developments in Crane's life merely appear on the screen, and Auto Focus is a decidedly painless, yet wholly dissatisfying experience.

ment of Michael Moore's newest in-your-face documentary, Bowling for Columbine, the former producer of the hit television series Cops uses these words to describe the baseline of his marketing strategy. In doing so, he also inadvertently illuminates what Moore believes to be the core of American violence: media-driven fear.

Much like Moore's other controversially antiestablishment documentaries, Bowling for Columbine not only asks difficult questions, but also demands answers from the people most unwilling to give them.

Centered on the disproportionately high level of shooting deaths in the United States, Bowling for Columbine takes its audience through a multi-tiered American odyssey in search of explanation. Byway of characteristically-probing interviews—the subjects of which range from members of the Michigan militia to the LARD to Marilyn Manson— Moore unflinchingly attempts to elucidate why American citizens murder each other with a frequency that is not only foreign, but inconceivable to citizens of other "gun-loving" countries, such as Canada.

Save for one maudlin montage of A American brutality overseas (musically accompanied by Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World"), Moore's delivery is not manipulative, but specular. His America is one that fears its citizens when it should fear itself.

Badly Drawn Boy Filets the Fish /j?h

While

there are few things as satisfying as an achingly sincere song, disingenuous manufactured music can leave a bad taste in your mouth for days. In his short career, Britain's Badly Drawn Boy has somehow man-

Debuting in 2000 with The Hour of Bewilderbeast —a modern day masterpiece in the vein of such classic sad strummers as Nick Drake and his contemporary, Elliott Smith—BDß has since forsaken his former barebones approach, wandering dangerously close to the land of over-produced adult pop once ruled by Michael Bolton (that no-talent ass-clown).

Though such a comparison may not be entirely fair, BDB's latest, Have You Fed the Fish?, is a far cry from Bewilderbeasts rich outpouring of 10-fi troubadourism.

Foretelling of BDB's redrawing from the king of

beautiful gloom to an irksome pop artist was his scoring of this past summer's About a Boy soundo^,v While appropriate to Hugh Grant's romantic u track. rather difficult to ingest a BDB comedy, it was raiiic. recordJ that mounded sounded like... well, the score for a romantic comedy.

Although his label dismissed the uneven offering as a side project sufficiently different from his forthcoming official second album, Fed the Fish picks up right where he left off on Boy. Laden with "lalala's," superfluous orchestration and unnecessary bursts of guitars, Fed the Fish finds BDB making the common sophomore mistake of using style GRADE: over substance. In spite of all the bells and whistles (literally) the album comes off as downright bland and ultimately void of substance.

While past BDB work had musical gems waiting to be discovered in repeated listens, repeated listenings

c

to Fed the Fish found several : ng. songs to be repeatedly annoying Although there are some redeeming qualities (namely the "Let's Get It On" beginning to c- -^hpr Slide"), "Further I Slide"), the album's first line alone "the keys to your heart open the door to the world"—is simply unforgivable. The onslaught of cliche continues on the title track as BDB proclaims that you have "got to rewind to go forward."

Though painfully cheesy, in the case of BDB, these lyrics are sadly becoming as fitting as his wooly hat.

If this pop minstrel doesn't recall the dark urgency of his earlier work, he will swiftly find himself sliding into the musical abyss of adult contemporary.

Perea scores solo goal to lift Duke 1-0

By NEELUM JESTE The Chronicle

1 Trevor Perea’s final home in game Georgia State 0 Koskinen Stadium was one he will never forget.

As his goal that would eventually Duke

become the game winner sank into the net at the 25:18 mark, the midfielder capped off a remarkably successful career as a Blue Devil.

The solo goal for the night gave Duke (11-6-1) the 1-0 victory over Georgia State (6-9-1) to close out the

The Chronicle

A 100-51 victory in their first exhibition game of the season would hardly seem a setback for the nation’s top

womens basketball team.

However, the Blue Devils have faced much preseason success in polls and rankings, and boasting the predicted National Player of the Year, unfortunately hit a huge bump in their road to a championship.

Sophomore Monique Currie’s knee buckled as she planted going up for a lay-up, just five seconds into the season.

It was announced yesterday that the guard will miss the 2002-2003 season due to a torn anterior cruciate

The Dallas, TX. native connected on a goal after Jordan Gila’s shot deflected back to Perea for the 10-yard one-timer.

The score was Perea’s third goal of the season, all three of which have been

game winners.

“I feel pretty good,” junior defender Matt Ahumada said. “I wish we could have scored more goals, but we played pretty well. We had a few balls not bounce our way, but at this point, a win is a win and we will take it.”

She will have surgery once the swelling decreases, which is expected to be in two to four weeks. Recovery will take almost six months, forcing Currie to miss the season in which her team has high hopes of winning the national championship.

The women of the ACC are coming.

The women ofthe ACC are coming.

All of the ACC’s field hockey teams are coming to Williams Field on East Campus this weekend to play in the 2002 ACC championships being held Thursday through Sunday.

The tournament, starting Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. with Duke (12-7, 13 in the ACC) versus Virginia (9-4, 04), will continue until Sunday afternoon, when the championship will be televised on Fox Sports South.

And unlike other previous years, the battle for the title is wide open.

“Everyone is thinking that anyone can win the tournament,” Blue Devil head coach Liz Tchou said.

“In years past there have been one or two teams that have dominated,” she said. “But I think every team is beatable. We know that this is the ACC and

every game is tough and you never know what can happen. A team can dominate and still lose, you just have to focus on the game and not the outcome.”

And Duke, coming off strong performances against Virginia and No. 2 Michigan last weekend, has high hopes for winning.

“I don’t think people realize how good we actually are,” senior Chrissy Ashley said. “It’s a matter of us coming out and playing the way we can. This weekend gave us confidence that we can play, score, and win against [the top teams in the country.]”

The Blue Devils opened up a 4-0 lead on the Cavaliers last Friday and hung with the Wolverines the whole game before falling 3-2, something they were not able to do in blowout losses to top ranked Old Dominion and former No. 1 Maryland.

Baker exits as manager of Giants after Series loss

By JANIE MCCAULEY The Associated Press

Manager SAN FRANCISCO Dusty Baker is leaving the San Francisco Giants less than two weeks after leading them to the World Series.

General manager Brian Sabean made the announcement Wednesday, the day Baker’s contract expired.

“It has become increasingly apparent that Dusty’s interest in exploring opportunities elsewhere is paramount in his mind,” Sabean said. “There remained non-compensation issues that he

seemed reluctant to embrace.”

Sabean said he recommended to owner Peter Magowan that negotiations end.

A three-time National League Manager of the Year, Baker has had differences with Magowan, mainly on who deserves the most credit for the franchise’s recent success.

Baker becomes the first manager in nearly three decades to leave a team right after guiding it to the World Series.

Dick Williams led Oakland to the 1973 championship and then retired—he was hired by the California Angels during the 1974 season.

The Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners are likely to express interest in Baker.

Duke, will face Viginia, the five seed, in a play-in game for the right to battle with top-seeded Wake Forest Friday.

Although they are not overlooking the Cavaliers, the Blue Devils are looking to do some damage against the Demon Deacons and beyond.

“Virginia we saw last week. We should be able to dominate if we play well,” sophomore Johanna Bischof said. “As long as we get past Wake, we should have a good shot at it.”

The Cavaliers are anchored by their defense, starting with goalie Emily White. Tchou speaks highly of her and warns of what her impact on a game can be.

“Emily White is a very good goalkeeper,” Tchou said. “I think she is the best in the conference. UNC had 15 shots against them, and [UVA] beat them with a shot and a goal.

“You just never know what could happen,” she said. “We need to really push to score in the first half. They get stronger and stronger as the game goes on.”

Should Duke beat Virginia Thursday, it would face

Sabean said he will have a short list of candidates immediately.

At 53, Baker just completed his 10th year with the Giants. He led San Francisco to its first World Series since 1989 before losing in seven games to the

Wake Forest Friday evening. The Demon Deacons are currently the third-ranked team in the country and beat the Blue Devils in Winston-Salem earlier in the season 3-0, although the game was knotted at 1-0 for most ofthe contest.

But that does not seem to faze many of the Blue Devil players.

“Rankings don’t matter to us anymore,” Bischof said.

Bischofreturned to action last weekend after missing three games with a hand injury, notching three goals and an assist on her way to being named ACC conference player ofthe week.

She will be counted on for scoring this weekend along with fellow sophomore Kim Van Kirk and freshman Katie Grant.

Van Kirk’s 10 and Grant’s eight goals give them a team-leading 26 and 25 points on the year.

In the other semifinal game, North Carolina faces Maryland. The Terrapins were No. 1 in the country for much of the season and beat the Blue Devils 5-0 in College Park over Fall Break.

If the Tar Heels can tame the Terrapins and Duke can manuever its way past Virginia and Wake Forest, it would set up an all-North Carolina final and give the Blue Devils a chance for redemption.

Anaheim Angels.

But Baker apparently felt slighted because Magowan always pointed out

everybody else’s contributions when asked what he thought ofBaker’s role in the team’s success.

Baker also became angry when Magowan said in spring training that this was the best team the Giants had fielded in his 10 years of ownership.

Baker thought that put too much pressure on the players.

Beginning Thursday, he is free to talk to other teams, and he has expressed interest in the Cubs’ vacancy. The Cubs were waiting until after Baker’s contract had expired—officially Wednesday at midnight—before contacting him.

Cubs’ general manager Jim Hendry has not yet interviewed anyone to replace the fired Bruce Kimm, and is in Arizona for the team’s organization-

al meetings.

The Mariners identified four finalists for their job Tuesday and Baker was not on the list.

But general manager Pat Gillick has said he has a “mystery candidate” to replace Lou Piniella, who left for Tampa Bay. Baker said during the playoffs that he did not intend to “break the bank”— meaning the $6 million a year Joe Torre got from the Yankees—“but I want to be near the bank” on a new contract.

Baker has expressed his frustration

that the Giants waited so long to discuss the possibility of him coming back—making him feel unwanted.

The Tar Heels downed Duke 5-4 in double overtime at Duke in October after erasing a one goal deficit with three minutes left in regulation.

UNO again beat Duke 3-1 at Chapel Hill two weeks later, spoiling the Blue Devils’ chances of ending North Carolina’s 48-game winning streak over them.

Standing in the Tar Heels’ and the rest of Duke’s opponents way is the success the Blue Devils have had at Williams Field this season.

They are 8-2 at home, with their only losses coming in the Michigan and North Carolina games, both of which came down to the wire.

“It’s great to be home,” Tchou said. “It’s nice not having to travel and be in a hotel. I think the kids are excited because we are 8-2 on our field. That gives us confidence and anything that gives us an edge that way, fantastic.”

Home field advantage or no home field advantage, Bischof is predicting success.

“We will defenitaly beat Virginia,” the British Columbia native said.

“We will beat Wake in a close one.”

And then?

“I’m not sure about the final. We’ll see.”

Duke came out strong, in gaining 14 shots in the first half, compared to Georgia State’s four. Duke outshot the Panthers for the game by a total of 21-7.

Most notably, Currie was ACC Tournament MVP, an honor she earned after netting 30 points and 12 rebounds in the championship game.

Currie was predicted to be second team All-America this season by the All-Star Girls Report.

Goestenkors and the team, however, remain positive and will look to the depth of the team, provided by a strong freshman class, to step up.

Grand old nation

As

the dust settles from Tuesday’s midterm elections and Republicans storm into Senate control, the nation is headed for two years of unified Republican leadership. The OOP’s sweep of contested Senate, House and gubernatorial races was nearly complete, as they gained control of the upper chamber and won a few additional seats in the House. Of the few highly watched races that the Democrats’ did win, the result tended to be far closer than expected; Gov. Gray Davis’ re-election in California was just one telling example.

Either because of President George W. Bush’s continued postSept. 11 popularity or the Democrats’ inability to excite their base, the GOP was the voters’ clear preference Tuesday and they will likely set the national political agenda for the next two years.

High on the president’s agenda will be a continuation of issues he has pushed during the first two years of his administration: lower taxes, the creation of a Department of Homeland Security, a regime change in Iraq, and a prescription drug plan for senior citizens. In addition, he will likely seek progress on other Republican priorities, such as an expanded education bill and partial privatization of social security. With the first unified federal government since former president Bill Clinton’s first two years, Bush has the opportunity to make sweeping changes. The success of those changes will have momentous consequences for the nation and for the 2004 elections.

Bush’s success will depend on a number of externalities. The national economy is still lagging and is in dire need of some stimulus; the Federal Reserve’s aggressive cut in short-term interest rates Wednesday is just the latest sign of this. The economy’s health will affect how much Bush can increase spending or change tax policy.

Regardless of such factors, however, Bush and other Republicans should use their new-found majorities wisely and work toward productive change. This can only be done through compromise across party lines. To take just one of their top priorities, prescription drugs. Republicans and Democrats differ somewhat on what the best plan is, but on an issue that they have repeatedly used as a political football, both sides will need to compromise in order to pass a sensible plan.

Equally apparent after Tuesday’s voting is the Democrats’ lack of leadership, direction and a strongly expressed agenda. One of the most important factors in the election was their inability to energize their core constituencies, and if they want any hope of competing in 2004, they will need new leaders and a refocused message. Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., has rightly stepped down from his party’s House leadership, and others may follow suit.

Above all, both parties need to act as the government for the whole nation, and not serve only their specific constituencies.

Diversity, quality are not incommensurable goals In his letter of Oct. 31, Professor Roy Weintraub argues that Duke’s commitment to diversity in its faculty is at odds with the pursuit of excellence. I believe that diversity enhances our quality rather than diminishes it.

Sigma Chi’s fundraising efforts have no ill intent In her letter to the editor last Friday, Rachel Decker raised a legitimate concern about the stereotypes of sorority women, but she unfairly portrayed Sigma Chi’s intentions in creating the frozen yogurt fundraising event. We rely on the generous support of our sponsors for much ofthe money we raise during Derby Days, and each contributing business has selected its own way of helping our cause, the

frozen yogurt was chosen over bagels or salads, but I would imagine it has more to do with the volume of sales

and cost structure rather than impressions of what sorority women eat. Torero’s also makes a significant donation of food every year to sponsor a barbecue, but it would be a stretch to claim that we are promoting the type of stereotype of which Decker spoke by offering sorority members all-you-can Children’s Miracle Network.

Several years back, Alpine eat Mexican food for $5.

I appreciate her support of decided that they could afford of the $.35 other events during the to help by donating each frozen yogurt they sell week, but equating the during Derby Days to CMN. I frozen yogurt competition honestly cannot say why with “a contest to see who

can buy the most diuretics or who can throw up the most meals in a week” was unjustified. The only reason the events of Derby Days are made info a competition is to increase participation and raise more money for CMN. Thank you to all the women who have participated so far, and we hope that our combined efforts will promote a positive image of Greek women and men on campus and raise more than last

year’s $2,500.

Rush changes highlight positive aspects of frats campus safety, the benefit of hand-delivered invitations is far outweighed by the cost of having upperclassmen roam around freshman dorms where they do not have card access.

The editorial also expressed the concern of potential members picking up invitations First, online recruitment “like at a middle school sports sign-ups will not replace the team tryout.” Any student not traditional method of going to receiving an invitation to at fraternity sections.

Second, while fraternities will no longer partake in fraternities’ priorities.

Moving on “personal interaction community service weekend to between fraternity members the forefront ofrush and incorand rushees.” Dorm-storming porating dry events that allow may be the preferred method personal interactions in nonalcoholic settings were done to of delivering invitations; however, due to recent emphasis on highlight that there are more

to fraternities than drinking.

Of course, because few members of the editorial board are in fraternities, they may not be aware that this is the case.

How ironic that a group of people with such little personal experience in the fraternity system would take it upon themselves to criticize a process about which they know nothing!

The new recruitment system was designed to highlight many different areas of fraternity life. IFC is trying hard to ensure that everything is done to make the process as easy as possible, both for chapters and potential members. If anyone has any questions about this, he or she can contact the IFC Office at 684-2496.

Commentary

The forgotten few

No justice, no peace In order for there to be a lasting peace in the Middle East, it is also necessaiy to consider what is just. Though it is easy to say that both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have done wrong, this perspective erases the history of the conflict and the reality that exists today. Only in working to understand the situation can we look for possible solutions or a general peace.

The fight for the creation of a Jewish state became a colonial project once Zionists decided to create a homeland on land inhabited by the Palestinian people. The assertion, first made by Israel Zangwill in 1897 that Palestine was a “land without a people for a people without a land” displays a belief in the ideology necessary for colonialism. In fact, there were close to a million people Jessica inhabiting this land. However, the dehuRutter manization of these people allowed for a discourse that denied their existence.

Left Turn on Red Dehumanizing people of color has been a necessary act in U.S. and European colonialism all over the world. This Western tradition, rooted in racism and exploitation, has contributed not only to worldwide poverty but also to many of the conflicts that we see emerging today.

It is not that the idea of a Jewish state in itself is a form of colonialism; rather, it is how and where the Jewish state was created that presents the problem. There is no doubt that European Jews have been oppressed throughout history. They have always been the victims. This reality does not excuse the creation of a racist, oppressive state that seeks to displace a group of people.

The Israeli state originally displaced 700,000 indigenous Palestinians in what it now calls its war of independence; a date the Palestinians simply refer to as AlNakba, or, the Great Catastrophe. Today this brutal oppression and displacement continues by Israel’s encouragement and financing of settlements in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, the only small territories left that are supposedly still Palestinian. Approximately 200,000 Israeli settlers are now living in these areas, with access to disproportionately high amounts of the tillable land and water.

Palestinians remaining in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip are subject to Israeli military occupation. They are denied citizenship as well as civil and political rights. Israel is a constant presence in the daily lives ofthese nearly 3.5 million Palestinians with military checkpoints, color-coded license plates and special ID cards. Palestinians are required to have permits to work, to build and to move and are subjected to home demolitions, torture and often curfews and random searches.

In addition to human rights abuses, Israel has violated various international treaties and agreements. The Israeli government has ignored international law time and time again, violating the Fourth Geneva Convention, the Convention against Torture, the U.N. Declaration of the Rights of a Child, as well as U.N. Resolutions 194 and 242, which call for the right ofreturn for Palestinian refugees and the withdrawal of Israel from the occupied territories.

This helps to explain the worldwide solidarity for self determination of the Palestinian people in formerly colonized states such as South Africa, where Desmond Tutu has publicly spoken out against the occupation. In the words ofAbdullah Al-Arian, a former Duke student who has written in depth about the Middle East, “All that remains, yet again, is one glaring reality: an appallingly inhumane occupation that must end.”

Unfortunately, US. aid to Israel is one of the major reasons that these abuses have been able to exist. The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs estimates US. aid to Israel between 1949 and 1997 at a total of $B4 billion. The United States gives more aid to Israel than any other nation in the world. Excluding Columbia and Egypt, Israel receives more than all of Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa combined. Much of this aid has gone toward funding the military which has in turn brutally suppressed and murdered thousands of Palestinian people.

As US. citizens we have the responsibility to speak out about the injustice that our government hands. Our tax dollars contribute fuel to the fight that Israel is engaged in to remain in power. The Palestinians have been denied the right to self determination for too long—we must speak out against US. support for Israel in order to support a long lasting peace for all people in the Middle East.

“Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Christopher, happy birthday to me!” As I turned 21 a few weeks ago, I was not celebrating my 21st birthday alone. Happy Birthday to AIDS may have been a more appropriate song to sing. We are the generation of AIDS. It’s definitely not as glamhk| orous as the Gen-X’ers or the Cyber Kids of the newest generation. But it is something that none of us can escape.

As AIDS turned 21 this year, I doubt rbnsfnnbpr many noticed. We’ve heard enough about STD prevention, condom use, Scoville abstinence and the elusive AIDS vac'Topher’s Parade cine. We’ve been exposed to the AIDS crisis all of our lives, and the disease is not likely to go away in the immediate future.

What can go away are the stigma and discrimination that still follow those living with HIV/AIDS. This year’s theme of World AIDS Day on Dec. 1 is in fact “Stigma and Discrimination.” After 21 years, people living with the disease are still looked at in fear, disapprobation and ignorance. It’s difficult for me to understand how certain individuals today can carry these sorts of sentiments when HIV can afflict anyone.

HIV is a virus that disregards all societal boundaries we may create to distance ourselves from the disease. It knows nothing of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, geographical location or socioeconomic status. I first learned this lesson after working at an AIDS hospice a few summers ago. That is where I met an amazing man named Robert.

Robert had repeatedly been ill from the virus, and after a major hospitalization, he moved into an AIDS hospice. I first got to know Robert when his nurse asked me to read a story to him. The book was his favorite —Of Mice and Men. Rather than just reading line after line, I stopped and let him talk about George and Lennie. .

™

I slowly discovered that Robert had studied English at college and was a promising writer, but he had never been able finish his first manuscript. Though it was trying at times for both of us, Robert shared a world of knowledge with me. He told me about his life—his parents who disowned him, his partner who deserted him, his boss who fired him, his love for literature and most of all his desire for a second chance.

His message came through clearly in good time, as Robert had to battle against his own body to verbalize the simplest phrase. I discovered that Robert was not just a man dying of AIDS; he was a man of intellect and passion. All I did was give him the opportunity to express himself, and in the end I gained so much more from his

dying words.

Two days after I returned to school, Robert passed away. He was 34 years old. In a final battle against pneumonia, his crippled immune system collapsed in spite of his will to live.

Robert was left discarded by society and died in a room without family or friends. The director of the hospice sent me an e-mail to relay the news. I sat in disbelief at the computer wanting to scream. Had I only left a few days later I might have been there by his side.

Robert was abandoned for the last time.

I salute all of those individuals at Duke who work tirelessly to comfort a group of people thrown to the margins of society. AIDS is not just a disease we get to read about comfortably in newspapers and magazines. AIDS is about people—people who do not deserve the stigma that surrounds their very existence. Let this year’s World AIDS Day allow us to reflect on our own fragility. And more importantly, let the day help us to eradicate the stigma and discrimination that people living with HIV have to face for the rest of their abbreviated lives.

Men’s basketball must rely on freshmen to win

By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle For the first bit of this fledgling season, one thing has become abundantly clear as the men’s basketball team struggles to find its identity. The Blue Devils are young.

Very young. So young, in fact, that the roster boasts a pair of sophomores and six freshmen, a virtually unprecedented move since the NCAA codified recruiting rules.

However, for the first time in three years, the roster doesn’t boast three names: Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy and Jay Williams—a trio of players who helped Duke redefine dominance in the college basketball world, taking the Blue Devils to three ACC titles and an NCAA crown.

Instead, while Williams tries to live up to his soaring fame in the Windy City and Boozer and Dunleavy learn the ropes of the NBA, Duke begins a new season in Durham with one of the tallest, youngest, deepest teams head coach Mike Krzyzewski has ever assembled.

“It was different not seeing Jason and Mike and Carlos out there, but we’ve got some very special players,” senior Dahntay Jones said. “They’re going to be stars one day, it’s just going to take them a little more time. They bring it every day, and it’s just great to be out there.”

Regardless of the potential ofthis year’s East Campus tenants and their possible dominance down the line, the Blue Devils are still focused on winning now.

To do so, they must refute the ever growing theory in college basketball —something that has only been perpetuated by mass NBA exodus—that youth cannot win titles.

“The freshmen are going to have to play a big role if we’re to be successful, so they’re going to have to learn quick and be willing to take the bumps and bruises, learn from it and come back stronger,” said junior Chris Duhon, the team’s only captain. “The guys are already showing improvement and showing signs that they are going to be reliable.”

At the forefront of the star-studded class that has been called the best ever recruited are power forwards Shavlik Randolph and Shelden Williams, both of whom have seen significant time and may be starting when the first regular season game against Army rolls around.

Randolph has carried over his high scoring ability to

In addition the roster boasts guards Sean Dockery and J.J. Redick, forward Lee Melchionni and center Michael Thompson.

Dockery and Redick should be ready to play a lot at the beginning of the season, backing up Duhon and Daniel Ewing, while Melchionni and Thompson may need a little more work. However, both are aware of their roles and could see a lot of time if the situation arises.

Women’s basketball primed for NCAA title run

By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

Bint Devils

Thoughts of Duke’s appearance in last year’s Final Four in San Antonio enter Iciss Tillis’ mind every day.

But the junior does not get frustrated by the defeat at the hands of Stacey Dales and the Oklahoma Sooners in the national semifinals, or attempt to tap into a lingering anger for motivation.

“I never think about us losing,” Tillis said. “I think more about us getting there, how great it felt and how cool it was that we were actually there. I remember thinking what we hadn’t left on the floor. It’s more inspiring than ‘oh, we lost and this year we’re going to win.’

“When I think of the Final Four, I think ofthe road we had to get there [and] how great it was when we actually got there. Now I think that this year when we get there, well not only enjoy it, but enjoy the success of winning.”

Last year, the Blue Devils finished 31-4 and were the first team to finish 16-0 in the ACC. Duke, however, has even higher expectations this year and others share those expectations; the Blue Devils garnered the No. 1 ranking in the Associated Press preseason poll—the first time Duke has ever been ranked No. 1.

“It’s a nice honor,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “It just shows the respect that people around the country are giving our program. I think we’re keeping it in perspective though. We understand that preseason polls really don’t mean anything; it just looks nice.”

Returning all five starters from last year’s team, the Blue Devils received 38 of 44 first place votes in the poll.

Duke graduated just Krista Gingrich from last year’s eight-woman squad, and added five highly-regarded freshmen—in a class that many pundits consider the best in the nation.

For a team that thrived on chemistry last year, the addition of five new players and the expansion from an eightplayer team to a 12-player team could present problems.

“I knew we were going to have a great deal of talent, a great deal of depth, but that chemistry could be an issue,because we were so close last year,” Goestenkors said. “It’s something we’ve talked about so that we’re aware it could become a problem if we let our egos get in

Goestenkors sat down with each returning player last spring and attempted to smooth ruffled feathers in advance. The move appears to have worked well, as Goestenkors said the team currently has “great chemistry and a tremendous attitude.”

A great deal of Duke’s attitude comes from returning All-American Alana Beard. The junior shooting guard scored in double figures in 34 of 35 games last season,

Season Outloi The preseason started ominously for Duke as rising star Monique Currie tore her ACL and will miss the season. Despite that setback, Duke remains the oddsmakers’ choice to win the national championship.

As preseason accolades continue to mount for the 2002-2 l basketball team, perhaps no player is better prepared to hand! expectations than senior guard Sheana Mosch.

Mosch, a returning captain and one of only two seniors on a very talented team, helped lead the Blue Devils last year to an ed ACC season and a birth in the NCAA Final Four in San An J Despite that success, she was devastated by her team’s loss to and is hungrier than ever to lead Duke to its first national “It seems like last year Sheana took the loss particularly tain and fellow senior Michele Matyasovsky said. “But she wt her mental aspect of the game over the summer. I knew sh upset and went through a rough time, but she is playing rer and looking forward to the season.”

Mosch, one of the most explosive players on the team, has used driving ability to average nearly 10 points per game over her Duke career. She has demonstrated a soft shooting touch by L in free-throw percentage each season, and needs only nine more come just the 17th player in Duke history to reach the 1,000-pom.

Although her scoring numbers are solid, Mosch has shown offensive brilliance—including a Duke-record 106 points game stretch as a sophomore—that head coach Gail Goes like to see even more ofthis year.

“We talked at the end of last season, and I said that I have a great year because she deserves it,” Goestenkors said to play with confidence. When she second-guesses herself, she’ fective. We’re just trying to get her to feel comfortable. I’ve she always has the green light to shoot.”

While Mosch’s confidence will certainly be a key for Duke her most important contribution to the team may be her le The Blue Devils boast one of the most talented teams in they will need their top-ranked freshman class to perform pectations. The transition from high school superstar to giate player can be challenging, but after averaging 31.3 rebounds as a high school senior, Mosch understands the justments that must be made at this level.

Older ACC could present problems for Blue Devils

By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

As Duke was conducting its unprecedented 19-0 romp through the ACC regular season and conference tournament last year, the prevailing opinion was the leagues eight teams were simply too young to give the Blue Devils a proper challenge. Other than Duke, only one other ACC school, North Carolina, boasted an RPI within the nation’s top-39.

One year later, the rest of the ACC have certainly improved, but whether they gained any ground on the Blue Devils, who graduated just one reserve while adding the nations No.l recruiting class, remains to be seen. Teams are certainly more confident, however, and coaches both new and old have repeatedly voiced their determination to not let Duke one more slice through the rest

of the league like a buzzsaw.

The issue at hand is not simply pride, but rather postseason opportunity. According to coaches around the conference, Duke’s dominance limits what success the rest of the conference can achieve.

“It’s good for one team but not for anyone else, because the more balance the more teams you’re going to get into the Tournament,” North Carolina head coach Sylvia Hatched said. “As far as this year, I think the league will be stronger, without a doubt. Now, will teams be able to knock Duke off? We’ll just have to wait and see.”

Middle tier

Four teams have a realistic chance at taking out the Blue Devils; North Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina State and Clemson. Each squad can field the

of Sutton and Brown are sophomore point guard Leah Metcalf and freshman LaTangela Atkinson. Both are terrific athletes, and the Tar Heels are so high on the incoming Atkinson that they are predicting she will easily be one of the best to every wear Carolina Blue.

The 5-foot-8 Brown plays bigger than her height, due mostly to her impressive strength; the off-guard boasts an impressive 160-pound bench press.

Brown’s accomplishments notwithstanding, North Carolina’s most important weapon, particularly when matching up against the Blue Devils could very well be center Candace Sutton. Sutton has not athletic equal

its talent, particularly since the Tar Heels nearly defeated Duke in the 2002

ACC Championship final.

“We blew it, we had a 12-point lead,” Hatchell recalled wryly. “We learned something from that. I look at that game and I think ‘what does Carolina need to do?’ [Develop] consistency.”

The other three teams won’t be able to match the Blue Devils’ or Tar Heels’ wealth of talent, but do possess impressive weapons. Virginia boasts Brandi Teamer, who last year emerged as the best low post forward in the ACC even though she was just a freshman. The sophomore is a good bet retain her 2002 conference rebounding title and

Terrapins prepare to begin NCAA title defense

Road to Final Four will be much m ore difficult for squad that lost experience, leadership

By ROBERT SAMUEL

Unw

The Chronicle

On ACC media day, the Maryland players strutted into their interview locations and immediately switched their nametags in an apparent joke. Maryland has lost four starters from last year’s national championship team, but its swagger is still present.

Most analysts have Maryland dropping from a great team to a good team this year, but the ever-confident Terps have much higher ambitions “In college basketball today, I think there are maybe 10 to 15 teams that have the real makeup and chemistry to possibly put together an NCAA Championship run, and I feel that we’re one of those teams again,” senior guard Drew Nicholas said.

For Maryland to repeat its performance, it must start with four-year starter Steve Blake. Much like Duke’s Chris Duhon, Blake has played on national championship teams with a pass-first mentality. With the loss of the stars of last year, Blake needs to score more. This does not appear to be a problem for the 6-foot 3-inch senior, as although he took very few shots, he was very successful in scoring in pressure situations.

“Steve is funny,” said head coach Gary Williams. “He would shoot more in pressure situations than he would when there was no pressure, and he’s always made big shots for us.

So now, we just want him at the start of the game to be looking. When it’s there, we want him to take it and not pass off like a point guard.”

Also returning is Tahj Holden, who played important minutes off the bench last season. Holden, 6-foot-10 and 270 pounds, is something of an oddity with his affinity for the three-point shot. Holden expects to play more in the post this year with the loss of now-NBA players Chris Wilcox and Lonny Baxter.

“I worked on my post moves, I still shoot the ball pretty well,” Holden said. “I’m just going to have to focus more on being a low-post presence because Lonny and Chris are gone.”

Maryland has a stellar recruiting class adding size, speed and depth. Freshmen Nik Camer-Medley and Chris McCray look to fight for playing time, while consensus top 25 high school recruits John Gilchrist and Travis Garrison will compete for starting positions from the outset.

Garrison leaves Morgan Wooten’s hallowed DeMatha program to try to replace the huge gap left from Lonny Baxter’s shoulders. At 6-foot-8,234 pounds, Garrison can play any of the frontcourt positions.

Gilchrist will have a tougher time getting in the starting line-up because of returners Blake and Nicholas, but the Virginia Beach native’s impact is expected to be immediate.

“He gives you a very strong guard,” Williams said. “He’s

got almost a 200-pound body at a point guard position, and the quickness to play against a very good point guard.

Hopefully he can really come in and help us because we need another guard to get into a combination like we had last year.”

With the addition of Gilchrist’s speed, Williams expects this Maryland team’s style to look more like the teams ofthe mid90s, pressing full-court rather than pounding the ball inside.

“We can press,” he said. “We’ll have to see how good of a pressing team we are. [The pressl changes the tempo of the game. It opens up the court..all those things that help your offense.”

“Starting off, the league is going to be wideopen,” Nicholas said. “Why necessarily does there have to be a drop-off [in our team]? Yeah we lost four guys, yeah we lost Juan Dixon. But what team didn’t lose a lot? What team didn’t lose key starters? And we brought in a lot of guys.”

Steve Blake

[flCj (Jlflf]

By CATHERINE SULLIVAN The Chronicle

Entering the 2002-03 college basketball season, few players have played in as many big games or have led their team to as much success as Maryland’s senior point guard Steve Blake.

The lone returning starter from last year’s NCAA championship team and preseason Naismith candidate, Blake has led the Terrapins to an 82-25 record through three seasons as a starter, including back-to-back trips to the Final Four. His 751 career assists are a Maryland record, and he is on pace to join Duke’s Bobby Hurly, North Carolina’s Ed Cota and North Carolina State’s Chris Corchiani as the only players in ACC history to register 1,000 career assists.

“In Steve, we have the most experienced point guard in the country,” Maryland head coach Gary Williams said. “Steve’s been a threeyear starter. He’s played against all of the great point guards that have played in the last three years. I don’t think any point guard has done more for his team than Steve has done for our team.”

Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, Blake has developed a reputation for clutch performances against top competition, especially in the hotly contested Duke-Maryland games.

In the 2000-2001 regular season, Blake shut down former Duke all-star Jay Williams during both regular season meetings. In one of the most memorable games in Duke history, Blake limited his rival to just 13 points and 10 turnovers before fouling out with 1:51 in regulation. Williams then went on a magical run in front of a stunned Maryland crowd with Blake out of the game, scoring eight points in 13 seconds to lift the Blue Devils to an incredible 98-96 come-from-behind victory.

Blake’s tenacious defense also stifled Williams during Maryland’s 91-80 romp at Cameron Indoor Stadium, as he shot just 5-of-16 from the field. Blake, on the other hand, turned in a solid doubledouble performance with 11 points and 11 assists.

Blake was no friendlier to Duke last year, leading the Terrapins to an 87-73 victory in their last game at Maryland’s Cole Field House.

He collected eight points and 13 assists, while forcing Williams into six turnovers and limiting him to just 6-of-22 shooting.

STflflD

Given his success over the past three years, Blake would seem poised to continue putting up his gaudy assist numbers and guide Maryland to another deep run into the NCAA tournament However, the 2002-2003 season could prove to be the most challenging for Blake. Last year’s reserves— Tahj Holden, Drew Nicholas and Ryan Randle—hardly match the void left by the departures of sophomore Chris Wilcox and the talented senior trio of Juan Dixon, Lonny Baxter and Byron Mouton.

With Blake’s favorite targets lost to graduation and the NBA, Williams will rely on his senior point guard to incorporate newcomers Jamar Smith, Nik CanerMedly, Travis Garrison, John Gilchrist and Chris McCray.

“Nobody has played in more big games than Steve has,” Williams said.

“Hopefully his knowledge and his ability will help our younger players as we get started.”

Not only will Blake be expected to lead this young group, but he will also have to handle the pressure that comes with being the defending national champion. He seems to have no qualms with the task “We’ve played a lot of great teams since I’ve been here,” Blake said. “It’s nothing new for me. We’re going to be a balanced team. The new guys will learn from experience. I think they’re going to be great players here.”

Maryland’s newcomers may be talented, but their success will depend largely on Blake’s ability to get the ball to them at the right time and in the right place. Even if the Terrapins struggle early, Blake will likely have them ready for their Jan. 18 showdown against Duke in College Park, Md., when he will have the chance to show just how much he can do without his supporting cast of the past three years.

Sendek’s State finally ready for national spotlight Despite losing a pair of valuable seniors, the Wolfpack have reloaded behind Julius Hodge

By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

After losing their two captains last season, Wolfpack will use a young group of players to build upon last year’s successful season.

Both Anthony Grundy and Archie Miller left town last spring, but freshman phenom Julius Hodge is still running the court for Herb Sendek’s team, who will begin this season with a new group of team captains.

“It could be a good thing [losing Archie and Grundy] from the standpoint that more than one or more guys can take the ownership and lead in their own unique ways,” Sendek said. “As jnuch as we talk about Anthony and Archie leading us they did so in very different ways.

Those guys were a great example of that.”

Hodge’s fellow classmates Josh Powell, who was also named to the All-ACC rookie team, and Ilian Evtimov will be a force on the blocks this year for the Wolfpack.

After tearing his ACL and missing most of last season, sophomore Levi Watkins has recovered and is ready to make an impact on the court for a team that finished 2210 last season. Sendek praises his forward’s progress and also his leadership qualities.

“I even think someone like a Levi Watkins could be a terrific leader,” Sendek said. “He has all the characteristics of someone who could be a good leader.”

Aside from the sophomore class, the Wolfpack’s lone senior, Clifford Crawford, should start at point guard and use his team’s quickness to beat teams up and down the floor. Another upperclassman, junior Marcus Melvin, has the versatility to post up or use his outside shot to hurt opposing defenses. He forecasts that this year’s squad should be very exciting to watch.

“We’re going to press the whole game and we’re going to run it,” Melvin said. “We’re going to make a couple back door cuts to keep the defense honest and that’s what you can expect.”

Melvin’s plan sounds simple enough, but with a plethora of inexperience on the floor, the Wolfpack could get rattled in conference games on the road. This year’s burning question will be whether or not someone can replace Grundy’s and Miller’s ability to calm their teammates in a difficult situation. The obvious heir apparent to the former captains is the highly touted Hodge, who has the room to grow as a player under Sendek.

“I want Julius to have fun and I want him to go out and take full advantage of his versatility,” Sendek said.

“I think he’s somebody who has the capacity on a given night to help us win in any number of ways. I don’t want to limit his possibilities in any way.”

After losing to Duke in the ACC tournament final,

MARCUS MELVIN dunks over former Blue Devil Mike Dunleavy during last year’s game in Cameron Indoor Stadium between Duke and N.C. State. and then exiting the NCAA tournament with a three point loss to Connecticut, N.C. State achieved more than most critics predicted.

This year’s team will have another rigorous ACC season to test them as well as tough road games at Temple and Massachusetts. Despite some preseason rankings that put the Wolfpack as low as 6th in the ACC, Melvin said his team’s expectations have risen since last season.

“Our minimum is making it to the tournament,” Melvin said. “We want to make it to the tournament and win games in the tournament.”

The Wolfpack have the potential to grow as a unit and excel into the postseason, but they need someone to

unite them as a team. A more balanced ACC will certainly test this team in early January. Sendek is confident that just witnessing last year’s team will be enough for a leader to emerge from his young squad.

“They saw firsthand what it takes and that is probably as meaningful as anything,”

Sendek said.

By Evan Davis The Chronicle Expectations for N.C. State are overwhelmingly high this year, and nobody recognizes it better than Julius Hodge.

After being named to the ACC preseason all-conference first team, Hodge, a 6-foot-6, 180 pound swingman, knows that even though he is only a sophomore, he will be the focal point of the N.C. State offense this season.

“One adjustment in [Julius Hodges’] role this year will be simply that he has the responsibility of more guys other than himself,” Wolfpack head coach Herb Sendek said.

Hodge will look to build on a successful freshman season which saw him average 10.7 points per game—tops among ACC freshmen—and finish second in the voting for ACC rookie of the year. His 12.3 points per game in the ACC tournament landed him a spot on the all-tournament team, and his 16 points against Michigan State tied for the teamhigh in the Wolfpack’s victory over the Spartans in the opening round of last season’s

NCAA tournament.

“Last year, Archie and Anthony were able to take that kind of responsibility, and it allowed Julius to be a freshman and benefit from their experience and presence,” Sendek said, adding that Hodge will be leading a rotation that goes at least eight deep.

“I have felt comfortable throughout preseason practice [that Julius will take to this role], and even watching Julius in high school, he clearly demonstrated that ability.”

Hodge came to N.C. State as one of Sendek’s most prominent recruits of all-time. He was named a McDonalds’ All-American during his senior year at St. Raymond’s High School in Harlem, N.Y., and scored 17 points in the 2000 McDonalds’ game at Cameron

Indoor Stadium.

While the pressure of living up to his initial billing is now removed, Hodge knows that he must continue to perform well if he hopes .to lead N.C. State—a team picked to 'finish third in the ACC by the media—to success during his sophomore campaign.

However, despite all the media hype, the sophomore sensation knows that there is one place he won’t have to worry about pressure and tough expectations.

“I’m not really worried [about the fans expecting too much],” Hodge told the N.C. State Technician. “Wolfpack fans are the best fans in the country. I expect to play a lot

next year.”

ELTON BROWN will add experience to Virginia’s frontcourt, arguably the best in the ACC. strong physical presence inside for the Cavaliers, standing at 6-foot-10 and 249 pounds. Adding additional new faces to the team are sophomore Devin Smith, a transfer from community college, and freshman forward Derrick Byars, both of whom can play the wing or small forward positions.

Virginia should continue its strong rebounding from last season, with a bigger group this year. The team has three legitimate point guards in Billet, Jenifer and Mapp. Watson, Clark, and Brown can all play power forward, while Vander Laan, Brown, and Rogers are competitive centers.

“We’re going to adjust our style of play a little bit,” Gillen said. ‘We’re still going to press and we’re still going to run... but we’re going to try and improve at the half court level...some adjustments will be made, but we don’t

A team that began last season 14-2 and was ranked among the country’s best for 16 weeks, yet lost in the first round of the NIT, has its goals set for the 2002-03 season.

The Virginia Cavaliers have made many changes to its program, including a new trio of captains and a new assistant coach.

Rod Jensen will be making his debut as a Cavalier coach, after spending the last seven years as head coach at Boise State. The defensively-minded coach will improve on last season’s halfcourt defense and will assist in recruiting.

“We’ve got to have better team defense and better individual defense,” head coach Pete Gillen said. “We’re going to work very hard and try to improve this season. Honestly, I thought we were capable of doing a better job last season.”

After losing four of last season’s starters—most notably Roger Mason, Jr., who was selected in the second round by the Chicago Bulls in the 2002 NBA draft—the team has new on-court leadership. The squad that has been predicted to finish fifth in the ACC will be headed by captains seniors Jason Rogers and Travis Watson and red-shirt junior Majestic Mapp Rogers, a center/forward, averaged 1.7 points and 1.3 rebounds per game last season. Mapp, a point guard, will be returning after sitting out two seasons due to knee injury. He will add to Virginia’s deep and flexible perimeter.

Virginia’s main threat will be senior All-America candidate Travis Watson, the ACC’s top rebounder and scorer last season. The Brookneal, Va., native was selected second in the ACC preseason Player of the Year balloting and is a candidate for the Naismith College Basketball Player of the Year award. The forward/center averaged 14.1 points and 9.7 rebounds last season.

“Last year, I don’t know what happened,” Watson said.

“This year, we’re going to put out a lot of effort, go after everybody, especially on the defensive side of the floor.”

Though the team has many younger faces, it gains strength and size from last year. A strong sophomore class includes Elton Brown and Jason Clark, the latter who led the team in blocked shots with 39, landing him third in the ACC. Brown played in all of Virginia’s 29 games and was named Honorable Mention to the 2002 All-ACC Freshman team. Sophomore Keith Jenifer adds speed while classmate Jermaine Harper is a solid guard.

Guard Todd Billet and center Nick Vander Laan will also be making their first appearances in a blue and orange uniform. The two players transferred to Virginia before last season from Rutgers and Berkeley, respectively, but were ineligible to play. Billet will add much-needed long-range shooting to Virginia’s perimeter. Vander Laan will add a

want to change completely because we were fortunate to beat some great teams last year and win 17 games.”

With an improved defense and greater depth, the more physical Virginia team will hope to prevent another mid-season flop. The Cavaliers open their season in an exhibition game Nov. 5 when they host Big Apple Basketball.

The Chronicle

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER

When Travis Watson got back to Charlottesville, Va., this year, suddenly all qf the college basketball spotlights hit him. His role as a second option on of-

fense was over. He was now the big man on campus.

After Roger Mason Jr. left early for the NBA, Watson has earned respect for his ACC rebounding

crown last season as well as his tough defending in the post. This year Watson’s role as team captain and preseason All-American candidate will be very different than his previous three seasons.

On the court last year Virginia ripped through its first 16 games with a 14-2 record before plummeting off the face of the earth and losing 10 of their next 13 contests. Watson, who averaged 13.6 points per game last year, is ready to prove his worth this season as an on-court leader and key player in close games.

“We’re going to try and make a new statement this year,” Watson said. “We’re not going to let what happened last season happen a second time around.”

Last year, Watson lacked a true center inside so he had to take the role of guarding taller players all season. With the addition of 6-foot-10 transfer Nick Vader Laan from Berkeley, Watson will be able to play his true position at power forward. His beasty 9.6 rebounds per game last season could decrease this year with the help of Vader Laan, but he will be able to roam the lane more freely on offense. Head coach Pete Gillen is excited that his star player will have more help in the frontcourt this year.

“I think he’s one of the top guys in the ACC,” Gillen said. “He can play the power forward more this year which will help him. I think he’s improved his game and we just hope we can keep

him healthy.”

This summer Watson worked on honing his skills in the post and stepping outside the lane. Last season he converted seven of 14 three-point attempts, a place where he could rarely venture because the lack of size on the Cavalier team kept him in the paint.

The preseason Wooden candidate said he has tried to expand his game this summer.

“I really worked on everything,” Watson said. “I irked on shooting and facing up to the basket. I’m

7. 2002 �PAGE 27

a post player so I worked on a lot of my post moves.”

Watson possesses the skill of outplaying taller and larger players inside with a combination of quickness and deft rebounding sense. He adapted to this different style through watching shorter power forwards when he was younger. The Brookneal, Va., native notes a few people who have influenced his distinct style of play.

“When I was younger I loved Dennis Rodman,” Watson said. “I loved [Charles] Barkley and David Robinson too. Barkley is a man-child and Rodman goes after every ball. Some games he’ll have a double-double but you know he’s going to have 10 rebounds.”

Watson plays with the same ferocity as his childhood basketball heroes, many times overpowering players for a single rebound. Despite his solid defensive play last year, most of Virginia’s problems were coming up with a key stop. Watson thought his team was not focusing enough on their own end of the court, something that will need to change this season.

“I don't think we were bad [defensively] last year, but I just don't think the intensity was there,” Watson said. “There are five players out there, and if one guy doesn't have the intensity to really strap up on his guy, that puts too much pressure on the other four, and sometimes that was the case.”

Gillen realizes that Watson will be his key player on the offensive end this season. The power forward’s scoring average should increase this season, with the departures of Mason Jr. and Chris Williams. Watson already knows in the preseason that he will have to carry the team when needed to in a tough stretch during the game.

“I have the green light to shoot whenever I want to,” Watson said. “I could definitely step outside if I needed to.”

After a disappointing NIT loss to South Carolina ended the Wahoos season a year ago, Watson is out to make one last run in his senior campaign.

“Last year, I don't know what happened,” Watson said. “This year, we're going to put out a lot of effort, go after everybody, especially on the defensive side of

the floor.”

North Carolina looks to bounce back with frosh

After worst season in Tar Heel history, UNC may lack experience for hard climb back to top

By NICK CHRISTIE

Tar

The Chronicle

For a school accustomed to winning at least 20 games a year, how difficult is it to stomach a season of 20 losses?

Just how severe a shock is it to finish 8-20, particularly after challenging for a national title and posting a 26-7 record just one year previously?

The storied North Carolina men’s basketball program struggled with those questions all last season. As losses piled up, beginning with the embarrassing home defeats to Hampton and Davidson and then finally ending with a gritty performance against Duke during its first-round exit from the ACC Tournament, the Tar Heel faithful grew more and more stunned.

A final record of 8-20 made once-powerful North Carolina into a laughingstock around the country. While acknowledging the fans’ hunger for the Tar Heels to regain their status amongst the nation’s elite, third-year head coach Matt Doherty is pleading for one thing during the 2002-2003 season.

“Patience, but that is easier said then done,” he said.

“We are officially in a rebuilding process at North Carolina. We have the youngest team North Carolina’s every had, and maybe the youngest team the ACC’s ever had.”

UNC’s roster contains just two seniors, Will Johnson and Jonathan Holmes, who see little playing time. The two combined to average just five points a game last season. Of the other nine players on scholarship, three are sophomores and six are freshmen.

With its legions of followers more accustomed to reloading than rebuilding, the Tar Heels desperately want to make significant strides this year. Hope arrived in the form of one of the nation’s top-ranked recruiting class, which feature three McDonald’s All-Americans: Sean May, Rashad McCants and Raymond Felton.

Of these, three expected stars, Felton, the 2002 Naismith National High School Player of the Year, faces more pressure than anyone else. And yet, in keeping with Doherty’s request for patience, the Tar Heels see struggles for the 6-foot point guard in the immediate future.

“Playing for the state championship in high school is different from playing for the ACC Championship,” Doherty said. “There are a lot of expectations on Raymond, and Raymond’s not surrounded by experienced talent.”

North Carolina would love for sophomores Jackie Manuel, Melvin Scott and Jawad Williams to make the leap from tentative rookies to confident leaders in 200203, but that may be too tall an order. Williams, a McDonald’s All-American in 2001 who averaged nearly 10 points a game as a freshman, will be expected to step up more than any other returning Tar Heel.

on Outlook Wow. The Tar Heels will field the ACC’s youngest team in years. The sheer talent of its freshman and sophomore classes should carry UNC to at least a .500 record, but the Heels will look ragged at times.

JAWAD WILLIAMS hopes that both he and North Carolina have a better season that last year’s dismal performance.

Unfortunately for UNC, the experience its unseasoned talent so badly needs will come at a cost.

The Tar Heels’ schedule features tough non-conference December matchups against Kentucky and Illinois. The games will be crucial as Doherty prepares his squad for the rigors of the ACC season to follow.

Although players, coaches and fans alike do. express some optimism, it is anybody’s guess just how long any upbeat attitude will last.

Preseason rankings find North Carolina picked to repeat last season’s seventh-place finish.

Can a program already reeling from a 20-loss year sustain confidence if the Tar Heels fail to sport a winning record?

Demon Deacons need better D to b e competitive After losing a top class, Wake Forest must rebuild with one of its first classes under Skip Prosser

By JEFF VERNON The Chronicle

Last year, in what would have been a stunning upset, Wake Forest nearly knocked offthe second-seeded Oregon Ducks in the NCAA men’s tournament. Of course, that was last year, and there is no other team in the ACC for which last year’s performance has less meaning than the Demon Deacons.

With four starting positions supposedly up for grabs—and the fifth occupied by the injured, albeit talented, Josh Howard—uncertainty surrounds the Deacons. Wake graduated its entire starting five last year, and the team’s success looks to hinge on the shoulders ofmany as-yet untested freshmen and sophomores. While Coach Skip Prosser has compiled a solid recruiting class, Wake will need to address several weaknesses and overcome key injuries before its ACC rivals can take it seriously.

“We have a ways to go to learn defensively,” Prosser said. “And that is a function of young players who are trying to learn how to guard. Their concentration level is good, but their anticipation level is not good. From an offensive standpoint, the thing we’ve done poorly in practice is that we have not handled the-ball well.”

Wake does have one noticeable bright-spot in senior Josh. Howard. By mid-season last year, the athletic Howard had greatly improved his game, in one stretch scoring in double figures for 14 of 15 games. He later admitted that, encouraged by his performance, he considered leaving for the NBA. But after lighting up North Carolina for 24 points in 9-of-ll shooting, Howard injured his ankle in practice and reconsidered his plans.

The injury has kept Howard from practicing with the team, but it hasn’t kept the 6-foot-6 forward from being named to the preseason all-ACC team. Howard also garnered the third most votes for preseason ACC Player of the Year.

After Howard, freshman Eric Williams faces the highest expectations from Wake fans. The 6-9 center is the team’s first McDonald’s high school All-American since Rodney Rogers a decade ago, although 1997 Wake graduate Tim Duncan probably would have been one had he gone to high school in the United States “He can be hard to guard,” Prosser said ofWilliams. “He certainly rarely had the opportunity to play against someone his size. That will be a challenge to him.,.. He continues to get better.”

Williams will compete with the slender sophomore Jason Levy. The 6-8, 180-pound Levy contributed 2.7 points per game and 2.0 rebounds per game last year, although he started only one game. Vytus Danelius—a promising Lithuanian freshman who averaged 6.6 ppg and 4.2 rbg last year while leading the team in field goal percentage at .566—a150 looks to contribute as a big man

JOSH HOWARD will provide a scoring force for Wake Forest in his final year with the Demon Deacons.

Neither Howard nor Downey—probably the two leading candidates for role—is especial-

Freshman guards Chris Ellis—son of NBA player Dale Ellis—and Richard Joyce could provide the Deacons with quality minutes, most likely off the bench.

Even with the uncertainty that surrounds the Deacons’ distribution of playing time, perhaps the real wild card for Wake Forest is the quality of its leadership.

“It’s not a role that comes easy to Josh,” Prosser said. “I don’t think it’s a role that he’s embraced warmly through the years, but it’s one that he is cognizant that really he had no choice when it comes to that.”

Four senior starters graduated last spring, leaving Wake Forest to essentially Josh Howard and little else. If Howard lives up to his first-team All-ACC status, the Deacons should be middle of the pack.

Leading Wake as point guard should be either sophomore Taron Downey—who committed no turnovers in his 49 minutes of NCAA Tournament play—or newcomer Justin Gray. Prosser has said he might start both if he felt they deserved it.

Prosser also has a variety of swingmen to complete his line-up: Howard, freshman Trent Strickland or senior Steve Lepore, who has been struggling with a knee injury.

Yellow Jackets will try to build on 2002’s suprise

By PAUL CROWLEY The Chronicle

Last year, Georgia Tech improved within the season like no other team in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Ramblin’ Wreck turned an 0-7 conference start into a 7-9 finish, transforming themselves from the doormats of the league into a young and hungry group.

This year, Georgia Tech hopes to emulate last season’s finish and forget about the dismal start. With a young team whose focal point is frontcourt star and returning ACC Rookie of the Year Ed Nelson, head coach Paul Hewitt’s squad hopes to pull it off.

Nelson, who last year averaged nearly nine points and seven rebounds a game, will be in an even better position to dominate games this season. He will be able to play power forward, the position he abandoned last year to take over as center for the height-challenged Yellow Jackets.

Nelson’s replacement in the paint is another reason Tech fans are looking for a big year. Freshman center Chris Bosh, a 6-foot-10 lefty from Lancaster, Texas, joins the Yellow Jackets as part of a heralded freshmen class.

Bosh and his inside-outside game look like the best hope to keep Nelson’s Rookie of the Year trophy in Atlanta. A highly-touted recruit, Bosh played his way onto several All-America teams and Basketball America’s Player of the Year honors in 2001-2002. His Lincoln High team won the Texas state championship last year.

Hewitt is enthused about Bosh’s presence on the team, but is cautious about putting too much pressure on the freshman.

“He’ll have his moments of really good basketball,” said Hewitt. “But when he doesn’t have those moments, it’s not going to all fall on him. Chris has an opportunity to have an impact on the program, but he doesn’t have to

be the program.”

Bosh is joined in the freshman class by Jarrett Jack, a point guard whose floor leadership will likely constitute the biggest question mark for Georgia Tech. He will have to replace Troy Akins, the Yellow Jackets scoring and assists leader last year.

“He’s physically mature... but if I could add one thing, give me a senior point guard,” said Hewitt.

CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

ED NELSON, last year’s ACC Rookie of the Year, will be a strong inside presence for the Ramblin’ Wreck.

The 6-foot-3 Jack is a cousin of Duke guard Chris Duhon, and attended high school in Durham.

Nelson is one of three returning starters for Georgia Tech, including two sharpshooters: Sophomore B.J. Elder and junior MarvinLewis. Lewis led the ACC in treys last year.

These five starters are complimented by a strong Yellow Jacket bench that reflects the recent influx of foreign players into American basketball. Guard Jim Nystrom, a 6-foot-5 former Swedish club star, joins the team as a freshman. Luke Schenscher, a 7-foot-1 Australian center, will help both Nelson and Bosh.

“The games can tell a whole different story” Hewitt said.

New head coach plans to fix Seminoles’ woes

By MATT SULLIVAN The Chronicle

‘There are a lot of people who think that Florida State has tremendous potential. And I just happen to be one of them,” new Seminole head coach Leonard Hamilton said.

“So I don’t feel like I’m Sherlock Holmes, where I just discover something that not a whole lot of people have been thinking over the years.”

Well he might not be a detective, but the coach who was last seen at the helm of the Washington Wizards is certainly a handyman. And so Hamilton, who resurrected Oklahoma State and then Miami before heading to the NBA, accepts the task of overhauling a program haunted by the shadow of a football team constantly on top, looking down at the cellar dwellers on the hardwood.

With a practice facility resembling anything but a basement, though, the ’Noles have a new home for their family, which welcomes in a new disciplinarian with a new vision.

After a year chock-full of locker room tension that saw Florida State go 4-12 in the ACC, Hamilton has implemented the same intense scheme in Tallahassee that he used to turn over other programs with rigorous focus on fundamentals and being what the coach calls “a dam good defensive team.”

And while Hamilton realizes the daunting demands of overhaul on his players, the talented but unpolished Seminole roster has embraced the drive they see in their new boss.

“You want to be the best,” junior forward Michael Joiner said. “You want to give it all that you’ve got every time that you step on the court just because you represent him.”

Joinerhas been the first to the practice center each morning because he knows the turnaround starts with him. The 6-foot-7 high flyer comes into the season as FStTs returning leader in statistical categories—not to mention starts, where the next highest total is five.

If the Seminoles can establish a satisfactory post game, Joiner will be able to move to the wing, where he could flourish in Hamilton’s system. But if senior center Trevor Harvey fails to stabilize into a steady offensive stalwart rather than the energy player he was, Joiner might be forced to the four.

Replacing the standout backcourt of Monte Cummings and Delvon Arrington, who gave the Seminoles some of their only respect last year, might be Hamilton’s most daunting

So while the team may take quite some time to integrate Hamilton’s new scheme, Mr. Fix-It has floor one of

his new projects underway.

“It’s kind of hard being in the shadow of a great football team, but I really believe and I really trust his judgment with everything that he does,” Joiner said ofHamilton. “Yes, Florida State will be a team in the years to come that you will see be up there with the Dukes and the Marylands, all the great teams that are in my league right now.”

Lowly Clemson begins season in off-campus exile

By JAKE POSES The Chronicle

The Clemson Tigers, are hoping this season will not be the year the roof falls in—again.

The team, which finished last in the conference last season, will have to host its November and December games 15 miles from campus at the Civic Center of Anderson, while the notoriously inhospitable Littlejohn Coliseum undergoes emergency renovations to its roof.

During the summer, the renovations to Clemson athletic facilities forced players to practice at the local YMCA and on the asphalt courts outside campus housing.

“It’s imperative we get back on campus as soon as possible,” Clemson head coach Larry Shyatt said.

Clemson hopes to return to Littlejohn for its first ACC contest against Duke five days after New Year’s Eve, but there is no guarantee that the Tigers will return to campus by even the end ofthe season.

While many ACC teams watched their stars either graduate or leave early to enter the NBA draft, Clemson retained much of its talent and leadership. Only four of the ACC’s top 21 scorers from last year remain in the league, and two play for Clemson.

“This year we enter the fray with as much experience, depth and leadership as we have had in the last four, years,” head coach Larry Shyatt said. “Hopefully that will translate into a continued improvement in the victory category and our goal of returning to postseason play.”

The team will be led by senior point guard Edward Scott. The six-foot senior was awarded third-team all ACC honors last season, after averaging almost 12 points and just under eight assists.

Shyatt has a tremendous amount of confidence in Scott to lead the Tigers through a difficult ACC and out-of-conference schedule.

“I would not trade Edward Scott for a point guard in this country—period,” Shyatt said.

As was the case last season, rebounding will continue to be the Tiger’s strength. The team compiled a plus-5.1 rebound margin last year, topping the ACC. The front court is led by Ray Henderson and Chris Hobbs, both of whom have double-double potential.

EDWARD SCOTT is one of the returning leading scorers from ACC play last season.

“All of our guys are coming back at the post position,” Scott said. “We’ve got experience and a really talented young guy in Sharrod Ford, so it’s definitely something to look forward to.”

Defense has been Clemson’s greatest weakness in the past—expect it to remain a problem during the 2002-03 season as well.

“Defense is the area that we need to show the most improvement,” Shyatt admitted. “That said, defense is a function of maturity and intellect, and when you look at our roster we certainly should be iipproved in that area.

Hopefully that will lead to an improvement defensively.”

DUKE MEN from page 3 “We have more depth on our team we have more players,” Krzyzewski said. “We just don’t have the established star or superstar that we’ve had over the last few years. We’ve had three of the last four national players of the year, so we’ve had star guys.

Will anyone emerge to be at that level?

I don’t know. We’ll see. We have good players, they’re just young.”

because

While Krzyzewski understands that he will have to rely on his freshmen more than he might like to, he has also placed an emphasis on experienced leadership, something that was lost with the unexpected departure of Dunleavy.

The end result is that the Duke faithful have turned their heads to one man, Duhon, hoping he can answer the call when the bell tolls this season.

And while the whole team seems to

be more than happy with Duhon’s leadership development, he has yet to turn into the huge offensive star for which the Blue Devils are hoping.

Duhon, however, is more than confident he can make the transition, and he has been equally good at convincing others. He was recently voted preseason ACC player ofthe year by the media.

“He’s got to play better because we don’t have the stars,” Krzyzewski said.

“Actually, when you say he’s got to play better, it’s because you believe he can.

It’s a statement of belief, not frustration or anything like that. I think for Chris, it’s more easily defined what he has to do now than when he had to play with [Jay]. With [Jay] he would allow [Jay] to do some things, but I think that took a little bit away from what he could do. Now he should be in a role where nothing can take away from what he can do.”

Duhon, however, is not the only returning starter whose numbers should

The Chronicle

significantly improve now that they can be in the main rather than the periphery of the offense.

Both Jones and Ewing, a sophomore, came on particularly strong during the Blue Devils trip to London and both have the sleeper potential for monster seasons.

Meanwhile, Duke hopes Nick Horvath and Casey Sanders, whose numbers have begun to wake up since thereturn to the United States, can be a force off the bench while conveying valuable experience to the freshmen.

Regardless, the depth and talent are present despite the youth, and the Blue Devils look like they might have all the pieces in place to make a run to New Orleans and the Final Four.

“I truly believe you should concentrate on what you have, not what you don’t have,” Krzyzewski said. “Make the best ofwhat you have and what we have is good, so we should make good things happen with those guys.”

DUKE WOMEN w and has scored more in her first two seasons than any Blue Devil in history.

Last year, she spent the season honing her leadership skills. With Gingrich’s graduation, Beard—who set the Duke single season record for steals her freshman year only to break it last season—becomes the team’s undisputed leader.

“Alana has gotten a lot more comfortable,” point guard Vicki Krapohl said. “As a freshman, she was kind of scared, she was nervous and she was homesick. Now she’s just really comfortable on the court. It’s her court and this is her team.”

The diminutive Krapohl, whose 47.7 percent three-point shooting percentage is the best by a Duke player over two seasons, will platoon with freshman

Lindsey Harding.

At the wing positions, Beard expected to be joined by last year’s second team All-ACC and first team All-ACC freshman Monique Currie. The sophomore, however, tore her left ACL during Duke’s first exhibition game Tuesday and will miss the entire season. Now,

SHAVLIK RANDOLPH could be one of the highest scoring freshmen in Duke history. senior Sheana Mosch, who has never been significantly improve on her JHIfreshman first campaign, will be needed to contribute even more.

In addition, freshmen Caitlin Howe and Jessica Foley add depth and threepoint shooting. Howe has a three point shot that Goestenkors has said is the best she’s ever seen. Foley, who hails from Australia, averaged 21.5 points in two games between her Australian Institute of Sport and Duke last summer.

Down low, Tillis will share minutes with senior Michele Matyasovsky and sophomore Wynter Whitley, who was a member of last year’s All-ACC freshmen team. Joining them, freshman Mistie Bass adds strength and rebounding at center and Brooke Smith adds more finesse.

All of these players will be tested immediately when No. 2 Tennessee comes to Raleigh for the Jimmy V Classic Nov. 24.

“I think early on it would be easier, on the freshmen in particular, if we didn’t have big games early,” Goestenkors said. “That way you can slow things down and ease them into things. I think the fact that we’re playing Tennessee in the second game ofthe year [means] really throwing them in to the fire.”

He’s tried to have done anything differently if Boozer, build a relationship with each player Dunleavy and Williams had been on the and I think he’s done a really good job floor. He said that it all depends on the with that.”

The floor general has been and flow of the game, and when the situation should continue to be a huge asset in calls for it, he’s always going to shoot.

EWING from page 12 he. realizes that there is an increased competition for a starting spot. Freshman Sean Dockery will pose a sharp threat to Ewing’s stature, though the sophomore’s experience will give him an added boost.

“There’s been great competition,” he said. “I mean we have a lot of great players and any number are willing and capable of starting, so everybody goes out there and gives it their a11... a lot of people are

really going after it and trying to fight.”

With such pressure for playing time with the depth of the Blue Devil roster, Ewing will have to fight hard to earn his starting job, a task that he is highly capable of doing, judging from his collegiate career thus far.

“You have to be ready to go every day,” Ewing said. ‘You can’t take a day off. The day you take a day offis the day the next player takes your spot. It’s fun.

It allows you to get better; it makes other players better also.”

as a leader and as a role model.

Her renowned enthusiasm for the game is tireless, as is her willingness to take on added responsibilities.

“I’m focused all the time... anytime it’s game-time, anytime it’s practicetime I’m always ready to go,” Beard said. “As far as being a leader of the team, I love it. I love to be depended on.”

Of course there have been times in her career in which Beard’s relentless attitude has left her physically exhausted and emotionally drained.

After Duke’s bitter 86-71 Final Four defeat to eventual national runner-up Oklahoma, a tearful Beard struggled for words. As more reporters gathered inside the Blue Devil locker room, it became clear Beard was not ready to deal to let go of the season. As she lashed out

with predictions and guarantees, one could sense that Beard refused to accept that the Blue Devils had fallen short of the ultimate goal despite all ofthe energy they had given over the season.

“After the Oklahoma game I was just tired,” Beard explained. “I think that game made me smarter because I worked [too] hard during the season.... I’m playing hard but I’m playing smart right now.”

Beard also talked about how much calmer and relaxed she felt this summer and that pain from the April loss quickly dissipated with time, mostly because of her confidence in Duke’s ability to succeed at this year’s Final Four in Atlanta.

Therein lies Beard’s ultimate focus, her raison d’etre; Regardless of what individual dominance she achieves this upcoming season, her only true validation will be leading her teammates to a national championship.

MOSCH from page 10

“Sheana has shown great leadership

“It is difficult when you have five freshmen because I know they are learning so much every single day. They need upperclassmen that have been there before to support them and talk them through things. That is one of my biggest roles.”

So far, the freshmen have responded well to Mosch and have fed off of her intense work ethic.

“Sheana has been really great,” freshman guard Jessica Foley said. “She always knows the right thing to say to you, she knows whether you’re doing something wrong and she knows what to expect of people in the weight room.

She is just really good at getting the best out ofyou and getting you to work as hard as she does.”

Mosch has earned similar praise from Goestenkors.

and she’s really helping the freshmen along,” Goestenkors said. “Both Sheana and Michele have said that they want to win the national championship as seniors, so this is their last shot and they want to do whatever is necessary for us to be successful.”

With 12 players on this year’s team, Mosch and many of the other returnees may have to settle for fewer minutes than they had last year when there were only eight women on the squad.

“Every single year I feel we get disappointed at the end,” she said. “Failure is the greatest form of motivation for myself. Especially last year, because we had the highest intentions for succeeding and wanting to win the national championship. So when we fell short, it was like lighting a match on fire. It made us want it even more. This is my last chance —I do not want to fall short again.”

Good Luck Blue Devils!

Buckner’s maturity is obvious, his respect for others unwavering. And when speaking of a father whom he’s never met, Buckner’s courage, resolve, and lack of animosity is simply awe-inspiring.

“My father, he was just never there.

He and my mother split when I was about two. I’ve never seen him before, and I haven’t talked to him. He actually lives in Baltimore, so every year I just

Momma’s probably done a better job than he could have done with us.”

And though Greg could never fill the shoes of a patriarch, the positive role he has played in Andre’s life is unmistakable.

er, that’s what has made me who I am.”

The brothers have dealt with their tribulations, in part, through the power of music. GMA Entertainment, Inc., is a music business that the three founded and run, along with the assistance of a handful of friends. GMA is an acronym for Greg, Mauryio and Andre. Maurio and Andre serve as the musicians, as they have been producing music for the past seven years and have developed and recorded upwards of 40 songs. Andre, whose trade name is “Drizzle,” is the lead vocalist and lyricist. Greg, who plays professional basketball for the Philadelphia 76ers, serves as CEO. Though CDs have been distributed throughout North Carolina and Kentucky, the ultimate goals

and priorities of the organization extend well beyond fiscal gains.

With his wealth of experience, Buckner intends to graduate from Duke this spring and take on the management, production, writing and lyrical work of GMA Entertainment. But not before finishing up some business in the classroom and on the basketball court.

“I realize how much I can help this team as far as leadership and helping out the guys. Not even leading on the floor, just kind of leading by example, and having the guys have someone who they can go t0.... That’s the beautiful part ofit, is realizing that I can be there for those guys.”

Perhaps Buckner is just a role player, after all.

things to be a national [champion].”

As his career winds down, head coach Mike Krzyzewski—the most important opinion on the team—has never felt that Sanders was a disappointment.

“I think Casey [Sanders] is ready to be a really good player,” Krzyzewski said.

“It’s not like he hasn’t been good before, but he hasn’t been able to have the consistency both of us would like to see. I think he can give us that.”

Sanders is looking past basketball now that he is a senior, and plans on using his history degree to pursue a career in marketing. He already has experience in the field, interning for GlaxoSmithKline during the summer.

“I really enjoyed my internship,” Sanders said. “It was really good for me.”

Even without becoming the player everyone thought he would be so far, Sanders feels the maturity and knowledge he has gained at Duke is better than any accolades that could be gained on the

continue into his junior season, however, as Sanders spent more time on the bench.

Critics began to see him as a bust, but with the loss of Williams, Dunleavy and Boozer, Sanders is looking forward to making a contribution to the 2002-03 Blue Devils in a major way.

“I’ve set some individuals goals. Hopefully I’ll be better at the end of the season than I am now,” he said.

Sanders understands that he probably will not evolve into the star player on the team, so he is motivated to use his experience to teach the six freshman that are expected to make contributions this season.

“The biggest thing they have to learn is how physical [the ACC] is,” he said.

The freshman seem to be responding, appreciating all the guidance Sanders has to give.

“I feel pretty good about playing with

ACC Basketball 2002-2003

ACC from page 18 improve upon her 14.3 points per game scoring average.

Whether or not the rest of the Cavaliers can follow Teamer’s example remains to be seen. Virginia coach Debbie Ryan has guided teams to the Final Four in years past, and should be a safe bet to take the Cavaliers higher than last year’s RPI ranking of 39th.

N.C. State struggled to just a 14-15 record last year, mainly because of crippling injuries to star players Terah James and Carisse Moody. Fresh off a summer induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame, Wolfpack coach Kay Yow is

brimming with confidence.

“We have a great blend of experience and youth,” Yow said. “We’re at a good point in blending the two. We’re not too

young, and not just older and experienced. The younger players bring an enthusiasm that everybody has when you start something, and the older players bring that experience with them that we have to have. When you blend those two together every day in practice, you can get the best.”

Clemson fought hard last season to finish in a tie with Virginia for third place in the conference. Although a perennially hard working team, Clemson hasn’t been able to rise over the conference’s dominant programs Duke and UNC. The Tigers will feature Chrissy Floyd, the conference’s second leading scorer last season at 18.2 points per game.

“This league’s going to be as competitive as it’s been maybe in my sixteen years in the league now, from top to bottom,” Clemson coach Jim Davis said. “I

don't think there's an easy win, a gimme win in the whole conference. There will be 16 games that Clemson will be involved in, and any game can go either way.”

Bottom tier Leading the ACC’s second wave will most likely be Maryland and Georgia Tech. New head coach Brenda Frese is the reigning Associated Press coach of the year after leading Minnesota to a 22-8 record in her first year with the teaim The feat was all the more impressive because the Gophers were just one season removed from a dismal 8-20 showing.

Frese will bring tenacity and competitive fire to the Terrapins who slumped badly last season with to an eight place finish.

“Coach Frese brings a lot of energy, she’s very motivational,” Terrapin guard

Renneika Razor said. “She has an uptempo style, and that really fits us.”

The Yellow Jackets will be more experienced then Maryland, especially with senior center Sonja Mallory leading the way. GeorgiaTech will also try to implement a frantic style of play, the currently en vogue mindset of the conference, particularly after Duke’s success last season.

“We want to use the entire court defensively,” head coach Agnus Berenato said. “If there's a miss we will always want someone on the ball. We have certain presses after dead balls, free throws, etc. And we want to run the ball offensively as well. We’d like to score in the first six seconds, if at all possible.”

Wake Forest, Florida State round out the conference’s bottom tier. Each believes itself to be a possible upset threat for the league’s prominent programs.
