COLUMBUS, Ohio The final round of the NCAA Championships proved to be little more than a coronation for No. 1 Duke, which made its run to a second consecutive national title look easy as it cruised to a 10-stroke victory over No. 4 Southern California at the Scarlet Course at Ohio State University last Friday. Finishing with a four-day total of 1,167—15 strokes over par—the Blue Devils won their fourth national title and the eighth overall for the University. The women’s golf team also took home tides in 1999, 2002 and 2005. “Performance comes in cycles, and we were in a good cycle,” head coach Dan Brooks said. ‘You have to take it one athlete at a time, that’s why we did well.” The only major drama of the final

At least five houses off East Campus that are now owned by Duke will be put on the market this summer, officials announced this week. In March, the University purchased 15 properties—most of which were studentoccupied residences—from owner Guy Solie, Trinity ’67. At the time, the purchase received rave reviews from many Durham residents, who noted that some of the houseshave received an infamous reputation in recent years—including two which are now being sold. The five properties confirmed for sale are 508, 704 and 708 N. Buchanan Blvd., 1111 Urban Ave. and 203 Watts St. The 203 Watts St. house was the site of an alleged sexual assault in 2001, which led to the eventual disaffiliation of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. In addition, the 508 N. Buchanan Blvd. house made headlines when the off-campus fraternity Eta Prime held a baby oil wrestling match there in January 2005. Since the March announcement, the University has not hidden its plan to turn
the houses into single-family residences, thus terminating the properties as locations for student partying. Officials have repeatedly said they will require a deed covenant from buyers ensuring that the owners live in the houses they buy. When it bought the houses, the University announced that it would honor thenheld leases until their conclusion. “There were signed leases for all the houses for the remainder of the current academic year, and there were quite a few leases for the upcoming academic year as well,” said JeffPotter, director ofreal estate administration at Duke. Potter said properties are being put on the market now because leases are beginning to run out, adding that the number of properties up for sale is largely contingent upon the resolution of those leases. Some tenants, however, have decided to terminate their leases early, he added. “Fewer people are going to be leasing the properties than expected, and we have more properties [for sale] than planned
