Despite many candidates, DSG elections end decisively Candidates focused on similar issues By HARRIS HWANG

After 10 days of blazing along the campaign trail, Trinity junior Takcus Nesbit captured the Duke Student Government presidency Thursday night with a 12 percent advantage over his nearest challenger, doubling the required 6 percent margin DSG bylaws deem necessary to avoid a runoff.

Most of the seven candidates vying for the presidency campaigned on similar issues, such as the need for more student-group meeting space,

Univeristy to look into racial messages From staff reports

University officials are investigating a series of racially biased messages recorded earlier this week in a black faculty member's voice mail account.

Fred Boadu, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, discovered the messages when he

checked his voice mail Monday, Feb. 26, according to a statement released by the University. He reported the incident to Public Safety and to Myrna Adams, vice president for institutional equity. Adams' office is responsible for handling issues related to racial harassment.

Alcohol, parties move off campus By ELIZABETH LAING

As students on campus settle into their second semester under the new alcohol policy, off-campus students and their Durham neighbors are just now coming to understand what the policy means for them. Some say that the ban of kegs on campus has led students to move parties to surrounding neighborhoods.

Heather Young, a Trinity senior and resident of George

town Manor Apartments, said that one fraternity has increased its off-campus parties from about once a month last year to once a week this year. "They don't want to get in trouble with Public Safety, and they don't want to start trouble with the University... It's just easier to have [parties] off-campus," she said. Parties may be easier to have off-campus for students, but some other residents have found the new policy to be

a disturbance in their neighborhoods, saying more students loiter around the streets, and those who host parties do not monitor underage drinking properly.

"... The freshmen can come down here and go to parties and their [identifications] won't be checked," said Joan Austin, a resident of Trinity Park, a neighborhood bordered by North Buchanan Avenue,

Two of a kind: No rivalry in 'Bloom' By ALEX GORDON

For identical twin brothers Adam and Ryan Bloom, it seems that competition has existed between them only once— at birth.

After all, they would tell you, one of them had to be born first.

Twenty-two years after their most intense "competition," the Bloom twins ironically find themselves on polar ends of Tobacco Road—Adam, a Trinity senior, and Ryan, a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

"Same genes, different schools," Adam said.

While their respective schools revel in an intense rivalry, the Bloom brothers do not.

"We are supportive, rather than competitive. That is the foremost reason why we are not rivalry-oriented, especially in terms of UNC-Duke," Adam said. "I pull for UNC when they're not playing Duke, and Ryan does the same for Duke."

The Blooms are content with their lack of rivalry, even if it seemingly defies conventional Duke-Carolina tradition—and even if it confuses their 16-year-old brother, Ian, himself a res-

Republican candidates debate abortion By KATHARINE SEELYE N.Y. Times News Service

COLUMBIA, S.C—For the first time since the Iowa caucuses more than three weeks ago, cultural issues, particularly abortion, were back on the table Thursday as the Republican presidential primary contest moved South.

At a debate here among the four leading candidates, all were confronted with the ever-knotty abortion issue, including whether they would submit their vice presidents to a litmus test on the matter.

In addition, they were asked to take stands on the flying of the Confederate flag and how they felt about women entering The Citadel.

But the question that seemed to make some of them, particularly Sen. Bob Dole, the most uncomfortable was a provocative one asked by a female reporter.

"If I were raped by a vicious criminal and became pregnant, would you oppose a first-trimester abortion, knowing that a continued pregnancy would cause me mental and emotional anguish?"

Dole replied: 'Tes, I would. I'm opposed to abortion, as I've indicated before. I have a strong, pro-life record, a consistent record in the Congress of the United States, and I

would keep it that way." But after two of his rivals, Lamar

Alexander and Steve Forbes, responded that they would permit an abortion in the case of rape, Dole subsequently revised his answer, saying he, too, would make such an exception.

After the debate, both he and his press secretary offered further clarification ofhis position.

Dole's initial answer was reminiscent ofa debate in the 1988 presidential campaign when then Gov. Michael Dukakis offered an antiseptic response when asked what he

would do if his wife had been raped. On Thursday, only Pat Buchanan

said he would urge the woman to have the baby. Buchanan said: "If that happened to you, it would be a horrendous atrocity, and it's happening to too many women across this country. And what I believe should happen to the rapist in a case like that, if it was particularly vicious and you had a serial rapist, I would vote for his execution."

"As for you," Buchanan added, "I would try to counsel you to go to my

Cuba prohibits foreign vessels, decries sanctions By JAMES ANDERSON Associated Press

HAVANA (AP)—Cuba warned Thursday it won't permit anyone to enter its waters to honor four exile pilots it shot down last weekend, and said new U.S. sanctions would have "severe" consequences for bilateral relations.

Cuban citizens, meanwhile, reacted with resignation or indifference to news that Washington would tighten its economic embargo.

"This is going to strengthen the government" by rallying people behind it, said Ramon Torres, a park worker. "The government here is fighting for everyone."

'They are fencing us in," said Miguel Rodriguez, who was selling carved wooden statues from an umbrella stand at a seaside market.

Repeal of inmate cap leads to prison construction plans By CARRIE CAMPBELL

North Carolina criminals can expect more time in prison and a lower likelihood of parole now that 1995 legislation is being implemented.

In June 1995, the North Carolina General Assembly voted to repeal a 1987 prison cap that forced the state's Parole Commission to release enough prisoners each year to keep facilities under capacity. With the repeal, corrections officials are issuing fewer paroles, increasing crowding at existing prisons.

As a result, state officials have expanded efforts to contract for beds in out-of-state prisons. Inmates are also spending more time in county jails, where they must wait until space opens up in state facilities.

Since the cap was removed in January, the North Carolina prison population has grown from 27,920 to 29,003 inmates . State corrections officials have therefore stepped up construction of new facilities, said Patricia McQuillan, spokesperson for the North Carolina Department of Corrections, creating space for about 220 new beds each month. At least four new prisons are scheduled to open, and officials are moving additional beds into existing areas, McQuillan said.

Parker said that public opinion has been generally positive, despite expenses stemming from expanding the prison system. Parker said he was surprised that the programs have met so little opposition. "It's been pretty popular to build more prisons," he said.

In 1994, the Department of Corrections began to reduce crowding without releasing prisoners by contracting for space in out-of-state prisons. This practice has increased since the removal of the cap, said Ken Parker, chief statistician of the Department of

Corrections. Currently, inmates are being housed in Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Sending prisoners out of state costs less than keeping them in North Carolina prisons, and inmates often request to be moved, McQuillan said. "Most volunteer," she said. "They may be from the area or have family there... or have no family in North Carolina."

Officials are also making efforts to contract for bed spaces in county jails and private institutions. Currently, the state uses space in seven county jails.

Though state prisons have only recently been operating without the cap, parole rates have decreased significantly, Parker said. Officials began reducing the number of paroles they granted before the cap was removed, he said. "The Parole Commission didn't want to have to parole assaulting offenders," he said. "Even in 1994, the parole of assaultive offenders slowed because capacity was growing."

Before the changes, most paroles were issued to nonviolent offenders so tha t more serious criminals would serve larger portions of their sentences before being released. With the cap removal, offenders serving t ime for charges such as drug trafficking or breaking and entering will now spend more time behind bars, Parker said.

The removal of the prison cap is part of Governor J im Hunt's plan to lower North Carolina's crime rates. Legislators have also been promoting a new structured sentencing system which offers a l te rna t ive forms of pun ishment for certain classes of c r iminals . Such methods include electronic house a r res t and intensive supervision by Parole Commission employees. Proponents of the measures say t h a t they provide a less ex-pensive way to respond to crime.

By JA'NET RIDGELL Orchestral music is on the agenda

this Saturday, March 2, when The National Arts Centre Orchestra descends on Page Auditorium at 8 p.m. to deliver a performance of famed works by some of the most revered composers that have ever lived.

As one might guess by the spelling, the orchestra hails from Canada. Under the direction and conducting of Maestro Trevor Pinnock, the orchestra will play compositions by Beethoven, Schumann, Bouchard and Mozart.

With strong leadership from conductor Pinnock and pianist Jon Kimura Parker, the orchestra should deliver a stellar performance.

Pinnock, a widely heralded performer and conductor, has led the National Arts Centre Orchestra as artistic director and principal conductor since its 1991-92 season. He also plays harpsichord with The English Concert of London, which he founded in 1973 and with whom he records albums. The recordings of The English Concert have won a number of international music awards and can be heard on classical radio stations

around the world. Parker has quite an impressive

He has performed as a soloist as well as with an orchestra, receiving praise from all directions.

Saturday evening's concert will fea

The Beethoven will be followed by a piano concerto by Schumann, "Concerto in A minor, Op. 54"—a concerto known for its most peculiarstyle and structure.

After an intermission the orchestra will follow up with "Vertige," a very modern work by a 39-year-old composer Linda Bouchard.

The final piece ofthe evening will be one of Mozart's most famous

symphonies, "Symphony No. 41 in C Major," nicknamed the "Jupiter" symphony.

In 1978 Nelson Poynter gave away his entire fortune to an educational institution, the Poynter Institute.

Faculty dismayed by racial messages • BIAS from page 1

The party that left the three messages, recorded early Sunday, Feb. 25, claimed to be associated with the Ku Klux Klan. Boadu said that he found the content of the messages to be personally threatening.

"While we do not yet know if these messages originated on campus, the fact that such hatred and intolerance were directed at a member of our campus community makes it a cause for concern," Adams said. "Such attitudes are wholly out of place here, and we hope to be able to identify those responsible for this cowardly and hurtful act."

Adams said that Provost John Strohbehn and various faculty members have expressed both their concern over the incident and their support for Boadu.

Alana Ennis, director of Public Safety, said that the case was the first incident of bias reported to officers since 1992.

"It's disappointing and deplorable that incidents like this still occur, but they do," Ennis said. Public Safety is conducting an investigation, Ennis said. Anyone with relevant information should contact Public Safety at 684-4026. Calls can be made anonymously.

Nesbit's affability credited for win • DSG from page 1 the need for a more cohesive sense of campus-wide community and the need for improved on- and off-campus busing services and safety. But when the polls closed on Thursday, 834 voters selected Nesbit due to his two key assets—approachability and experience.

"I think they saw substance," said an exhilarated Nesbit, who currently serves as DSG vice president for student affairs and was on the alcohol policy revision committee. "There are a lot of different styles out there, but they definitely saw substance."

During his campaign, Nesbit advocated three main issues: reforming the financial aid car policy, finding meeting space for all student groups and revamping the Safe Rides/Safe Walks program.

DSG President and Trinity senior Peggy Cross said that it was Nesbit's character that attracted 32 percent of the total voting population to him.

"He honestly represents the average Duke student. I don't think people felt distanced from him. I don't think they thought he was trying to win their vote," Cross said. "He does have that broad-based understanding of what it is to be a Duke student, and what Duke students want."

Voter participation fell slightly this year, with about 42.5 percent ofthe total undergraduate population voting, down from about 45 percent in last year's first presidential race.

Trinity junior Bill Schloss, DSG attorney general, said that although the numbers fell, voters had more faith in the system this year because of changes made earlier this semester to the DSG bylaws concerning the election flier policy.

In the revision, Schloss granted the DSG elections commission more regulatory control over flier production, meaning that all candidates' flyers must be produced by DSG. The changes stemmed from problems encountered in last year's election, in which then-Trinity sophomore Daleep Singh and then-Trinity freshman Kashif Latif were found guilty of violating a bylaw by using Publications Board copiers to produce flyers.

For the first time, The Chronicle conducted two random polls before the election that gauged the opinion of 1,000 undergraduate students about the presidential race—the first on Feb. 19, the first day of the official campaigning season and the second on Feb. 26, exactly one week later.

Bloom twins bridge rivalry through mutual respect • TWINS from page 1 olute Blue Devil fan.

"The way that Adam and Ryan handle the rivalry is very odd, but also very considerate and mature," Ian said.

Such a unique blend lets the twins appreciate the value ofthe rivalry without allowing it to become their own. For the Blooms, respective school pride and genuine respect for the other is the rule.

"The thing that I love about the rivalry is that you can always expect great basketball and a great game," Ryan said. "Above all else, we want to see a good game."

Adam adds: "The rivalry is so respected that it feels weird to experience its tension and pull... The competition between the two schools leads to a greatness for both, and that's what I associate in my mind about the rivalry."

Until 10 years ago, however, the Bloom twins were unfamiliar with the rivalry. They are native Northerners and traveled many roads before finally finding Tobacco Road. Born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on Super Bowl Sunday, 1974, the Bloom twins were raised, appropriately enough, on football.

"Our parents both' attended Penn State, and so we grew up on Penn State football and [Penn State head football coach] Joe Paterao," Ryan said. "We are still big PSU footbaU fans—ACC football doesn't even compare."

From Pennsylvania the Bloom family moved to Hartford, Connecticut, and then to Hagerstown, Maryland, before settling in Winston-Salem in 1986,

where they currently reside. "My father is in the furniture busi

ness, though everyone thinks he's in the military because we move around so much," Adam said.

"And so it makes sense," both brothers said in perfect unison, "that we ended up in North Carolina—the furniture capital ofthe world."

Familiarity with furniture aside, the Bloom brothers experienced almost immediate culture shock upon their arrival in North Carolina. The 12-year-old transplanted Northerners, reared on Nittany Lion football, were utterly astonished at the state's unofficial culture: ACC basketball. The Blooms literally received a classroom lesson on the exact magnitude of ACC basketball, and its intra-conference rivalries in the Tarheel State.

"In middle school, the teachers had televisions on in the classroom during class in order to watch the ACC tournament," Ryan said. "Adam and I were amazed at how everything down here just stopped for basketball."

Over their adolescent years, as they grew accustomed to the vehement competition of ACC basketball, the Bloom twins—-who consider themselves best friends—grew inseparable as they did virtually everything together. Athletics helped to cement their brotherly bonds even further.

"Adam was a little bit better ofa student, but there was a parity with athletics," Ryan said.

They were starting defenders together on their high school soccer team. They

Adam and I were amazed at how everything down here just stopped for basketball.

UNC-CH senior Ryan Bloom

were cut from the tennis team together. In their junior and senior years, they both earned success on the gridiron as kickers for the football team. Ryan kicked extra points and field goals, while Adam handled kick-off duties; the twins acted as back-ups for each other.

When college-decision time arose, the twins knew they both wanted to attend school in North Carolina so they could remain close to each other, and because "it is the nicest state we have lived in."

An economics major, Adam was drawn to Duke because of its reputation, academics and overwhelming school spirit. The Navy ROTC scholarship he received to attend the school also influenced his decision.

UNC-CH appealed to Ryan, a double major in history and education, with its openness and friendly community. His decision was finalized after UNC-CH awarded him a North Carolina Teaching Fellow scholarship. Both Adam and Ryan are involved actively in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes organizations on their respective campuses.

Upon reflection, both brothers feel comfortable with their decisions and have relished the time spent at their

schools. "After living together for 18 years,

many people were surprised that Adam and Ryan chose separate universities 12 miles apart," said their father, Bill.

Yet the Bloom brothers have not allowed a 12-mile stretch along Tobacco Road to separate them. In fact, Adam and Ryan often find themselves on each other's campus several times during the week.

"They really are a bridge between the two campuses," their father said.

The bridge that the brothers have built is a product of their good-natured maturity, allowing them to take the Duke-Carolina rivalry in stride and their parents to assume a comfortable neutrality when watching the games— in the words of their mother, Carol, "to root for both teams."

On Sunday, March 3, Adam and Ryan Bloom will witness their final regular season Duke-Carolina basketball contest as undergraduates of their respective schools.

"I will always love Duke basketball and Ryan will always love UNC basketball," Adam said. "The subtle rivalry and genuine appreciation for our schools will continue until the day we die."

Duke-UNC basketball game to be broadcast on Web • BRIEFS from page 3 found at http://appnewtech.com/duke/, will broadcast the game live. The broadcast marks the first time a college basketball game will be featured online.

The page will feature photos from Cameron Indoor Stadium, updated every thirty seconds, color commentary and an ongoing scoreboard update. Additionally, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski and UNC head coach Dean Smith will be featured after the game.

Next year, every Duke football and basketball game will be broadcast similarly, said Mike Craig, director of sports information, adding that they are attempting to find advertisers for the page.

The page has been put together by Applied New Technologies, which created the "Duke Basketball Interactive," and Interactive Business Consultants.

Winners announced: Two North Carolina residents were selected to receive two prestigious University scholarships this week. Craig Perry of Charlotte received the Beischer/Fox Scholarship and Kara Medoff of Greensboro received the A. J. Tannenbaum Scholarship. The two Trinity College scholarships last for four years and are worth more than $100,000, covering tuition, room, board and stipends for travel or study abroad programs.

In addition, eleven B. N. Duke scholarship winners were chosen from 41 finalists. These undergraduate merit awards are received by North and South Carolina residents who demonstrate strong academic performance, community involvement, and outstanding leadership ability. Based on estimated tuition rates, these scholarships cover 75 per

cent of tuition and are worth more than $55,000 to a student enrolled for four years.

Conference to be held: An international conference at the University will bring together engineers, psychologists, mathematicians, computer scientists and biologists to explore how the lessons of living organisms can be used to design "autonomous systems" that function independently.

The conference, "Biologically Inspired Autonomous Systems: Computation, Cognition and Action" will be held at the Washington Duke Inn from March 4-6. Some 30 speakers from the United States, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Canada, Greece, Turkey, Japan, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom will participate in the conference.

The focus of the conference is to examine systems which could become the bases of robots and computer programs that would be able to function on their own. These systems would also be able to adapt to changing circumstances-from the unpredictable hazards of exploring other planets to the flexibility necessary to manage the future information highway.

The conference is co-sponsored by the office ofthe vice provost for academic and international programs, as well as the International Federation for Information Processing Societies, the International Teletraffic Congress, the IEEE and the Triangle Area Neural Networks society. It is also supported by the departments of electrical and computer engineering, experimental psychology, neurosciences and biomedical engineering.

Cuba warns US sanctions will threaten future relations • CUBA f r o m p a g e 2

punish foreign investors using American assets confiscated by Cuba and to force President Fidel Castro from power.

Few Cubans, however, said they believed that would happen. Instead, some said, they would be the ones who would suffer.

"We are Cubans here. I'm not talking about communism or capitalism," Rodriguez said. "I'm here fighting to make a living. We have an economic opening

now, but..." Cuba's communist government has

allowed vendors such as Rodriguez to run their own stands at the market for four years now under an economic liberalization policy. Some Cubans are allowed to run their own businesses and to conduct them in U.S. dollars.

Disappointing harvests of sugar, a crucial foreign-exchange earner, and the loss of aid from the former Soviet Union have hurt the economy. As a result, the government has aggressively

solicited foreign investment, especially in tourism. One government booklet contains advertisements from dozens of sugar, clothing, concrete and other firms seeking foreign partners.

Foreign investors waited Thursday for more information on the Washington sanctions before assessing the possible impact on their own fortunes here. But one noted that any destabilization ofthe economy would hurt.

"They could make it more difficult for Cuban consumers to buy," said Giovan

ni Giardi, an Italian businessman who runs a $10 million business in Havana selling imported plumbing fixtures, clothing, tires, food and other goods.

"But how can they stop Cuba from importing goods (from Italy)? This is a decision between Italy and Cuba."

At a news conference, Carlos Fernandez de Cossio, director of American affairs at the Foreign Ministry, warned Cuba "will take necessary measures" if foreign boats enter its waters without authorization on Saturday.

friend, the Piedmont Women's Center, run by a friend of mine, who counsels those who have been raped and begs and urges them and pleads with them and provides support for them if they will only carry the child to term and we can put it up for adoption. I would try to counsel you to do that because I believe the unborn

child is innocent. And the only guilty party here is the rapist."

The exchange on Thursday was not the first time that Dole has sought to clarify his remarks on abortion, and it provided a good example of why he is sometimes misunderstood on the issue.

On NBC's "Meet the Press" earlier this year, he said that he had once

supported a constitutional amendment to ban all abortions unconditionally but added, "I would not do it again."

Dole said he now supported exceptions for cases of rape and incest and to protect the life of the mother.

His aides said later that he had not changed his position, pointing to a 1992 interview on the same program

when he said he supported those exceptions. A few days after the latest appearance, Dole refused to sign a pledge to support the strict anti-abortion language in his party's national platform.

In the debate on Thursday, both Alexander and Forbes replied that a woman who had been raped had a right to an abortion."

Durham neighborhoods experience town-gown tension • PARTIES from page 1 North Duke Street, Main Street and Club Boulevard.

Others say problems between off-campus students and their neighbors, particularly in the Trinity Park neighborhood, should not be attributed to the alcohol policy. Trinity Park has traditionally housed a number of University students and has been the site of problems between students and Durham residents for many years.

"It's an ongoing problem," said Alana Ennis, director of Public Safety. The police received complaints about students from Trinity Park residents when she served in the Durham Police Department 20 years ago, she said, and they still receive such complaints today.

Paul Vick, director of government relations and community affairs at the University, said the difficulties in Trinity Park are the result ofa complex web of issues, rather than just the change in the alcohol policy.

"There have not been an increased number... of complaints as far as prob

lems are concerned," Vick said. Some residents could not pinpoint

one reason for what they describe as worsened student behavior over the past several years. They did not afl blame the University for pushing campus problems off to the Durham community.

Other problems residents cited include a lack of respect for non-student residents, little enforcement of existing laws by the city and the negligence of the landlords who rent houses and apartments to students.

Various solutions have been posed to solve the problem. Austin said that while she does not feel the University should lighten up on its alcohol policy, "there ought to be something that Duke can do to accept more responsibility."

Trinity Park resident Bill Sprinkle said he thought students should still be under the University's jurisdiction even though they live off campus, and that the University should be able to punish them for any violations they commit off campus.

But Ennis said that such a solution is not viable right now because state law limits Public Safety's jurisdiction solely to on-campus locations. Suzanne Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs, said that the University primarily sees its role as "attempting to provide information to students" about the laws and responsibilities pertaining to them.

"In the past our strategy has really been to, number one, make sure that we understand what the problems were, number two, to communicate with students... and then, number three, to certainly support the city in enforcing those laws and those ordinances," Wasiolek said.

Meanwhile, many residents complained that the police do not enforce rules and laws effectively. What attempts the police do make to curb student partying are, for the most part, useless because as soon as the police leave a party, the noise starts up again, some residents said.

Young said that police dealings with

students have been fair. "They don't want to break up the parties, they just want you to contain it... They're threatening, but not too threatening," she said.

Many Trinity Park residents said that ultimately it is the landlords who rent houses and apartments to University students who should be held responsible for their tenants' behavior. Austin said that landlords should be more selective when renting to students.

"If the student houses were rented by more responsible students, if they were not rented to fraternities... I think that'd be great, I think that would help," she said.

Julia Borbely-Brown, another resident, said that the landlords should be able to hold students to some behavioral requirements, and that landlords should present homes which are not run-down. Students do not feel compelled to act in a responsible manner when their homes are in poor condition, she said.

Letters to the Editor

Tenn. commandments Senate foolishly endorses morality law

"The Ten Commandments were given to us by God. God does not need the Tennessee General Assembly's help in disseminating them," said Tennesse State Senator Steve Cohen in The New York Times.

Unfortunately for Cohen, the Tennesse State Senate felt otherwise. In a 27 to one vote last week, the Senate passed a resolution urging businesses, homes, churches and schools to post and observe the Ten Commandments, despite concerns that such a resolution may be unconstitutional.

According to The New York Times, the bill, intending to reaffirm moral standards, encourages "every citizen of Tennessee to observe the Ten Commandments, teach them to their children and display them in their homes, businesses, schools and places of work." And apparently, Cohen is the only senator with a shred of common sense. Even if the resolution were not of highly dubious constitutionality, it is still an unfair imposition on the rights ofthe citizens of Tennesse.

The Ten Commandments have made their way to the Supreme Court before, most recently in 1980. In the case Stone v. Graham, the court declared that the Ten Commandments could not be posted in public schools unless they served a larger secular purpose. Tennesse State Attorney General Charles Burson cited this case as justification for the Supreme Court to strike down the measure.

No governmental body can regulate religious morality. By simply "urging" the display and observance ofthe Ten Commandments, the Tennessee gov

ernment may have sidestepped the issue of constitutionality by a technicality. Still, this clearly violates the spirit ofthe establishment clause.

The aims ofthe bill are good; many contend that the moral fabric of today's society is deteriorating. But there are far more practical and proper ways that the Senate could have addressed the problem.

Even more egregious is the fact that the Tennessee Senate spent valuable time on this bill when there are so many more pressing measures facing the state of Tennessee. Instead of dealing with poverty or inner-city crime, the Senate chose to focus its energy on a bill designed primarily to gain the electoral support of the Christian right. This is not how an elected body should serve its constituency.

If, as the Senate majority leader Ben Atchley says, the Tennessee State Senate truly wanted to address the decaying morals in the state, there are many legitimate steps they could have taken. They could have focused on specific programs designed to address the root problems—which they have jurisdiction over—plaguing the state. Things such as crime, government corruption and poverty are all problems on which the government should be focusing its attention.

By spending time on bills that sound good to voters but have no real substance, the Tennesse Senate took valuable time away from other problems and issues. No state government can endorse a set of religious beliefs. The Tennessee State Senate is wasting their time and ours.

Technology may jeopardize practice I have been folIowingThe Chronicle's

series on the role of information technologies in health care and wanted to comment about the patient bedside computers.

As a physician who consults throughout the medical center, I have had several opportunities to use these bedside computers and I agree that they are a significant advance in patient care. The main caution I have is that we not forget that medicine is not only a science

but also an art. In our enthusiasm to obtain up-to-the-minute information, we must not forget that the patient, the person, is the primary focus. We should not let technology take the place of personal interaction. Spending time at the bedside is sometimes the most important service we provide to the individuals and families who come to us for care.

ISA defends endorsement procedure Our purpose in writing this letter is

to respond to Jeff Burr's letter to the editor on Feb. 26.

Burr writes: "Is this limited number of students supposed to represent all independents on campus? I think not." We completely agree. The ISA is an advocate for Duke's independent population; we have never claimed to be representative of every independent voice. Can Congress actually represent the views of every single American? No. It would be sheer lunacy to think otherwise, in either case. We are, however, actively recruiting new members and expanding our Dorm Liaison Council to bring in more voices.

Burr also writes: "Why should ISA be involved in the endorsement process anyway? Aren't they supposed to be nonpartisan?" The first question doesn't even warrant a response. The second question does, and again Burr is right on target. We did remain non-partisan, endorsing two candidates affiliated

with greek organizations. The IFC, on the other hand, never even mentioned the possibility ofendorsing a non-greek candidate.

Burr has a valid concern regarding attendance and participation, but he's barking up the wrong tree. Rather than criticizing the apathy rampant among independents at Duke, Burr instead chose to attack the -people who have worked to create a structure through which independents can more effectively articulate their voices.

Seeing the importance of endorsing motivated DSG candidates that have a vision for the University's future, we responsibly listened to candidates' speeches for close to two hours and came to a decision democratically.

Buchanan recognizes forgotten class From reading the piece by Katie

Goldstein on Wednesday, one would think that the ideas that Pat Buchanan is spreading are totally new and have no support. It is important to realize, however, that the message that Buchanan brings to the Republican table is an important one. This viewpoint has strong support in the working class of America, and Buchanan's firey speeches help to incite these feelings in those Americans. From the way that Buchanan is depicted, especially in Goldstein's piece, one would assume that this message is playing to a relatively small listening-group, but in reality the feelings expressed by Buchanan reflect the fears of most working-class Americans.

To see the jobs that have been relocated to the far east, Mexico and beyond and ignore that issue is wrong. Buchanan, much to the chagrin ofthe others, has at least pin-pointed the issue in his campaign and offered some sort of remedy, no matter how ludicrous. In Buchanan's campaign, something comes alive that was virtually ignored during the past decade—lower middle-class America. These are the people most affected by the movement of jobs out of the country. In the Buchanan candidacy, many things are brought out, some good, some not-so-good. But if the candidacy is good for one thing, it is good for the average American. It may force rank and file Grand Old Party members and politics to focus on problems that face a concerned constituency. To characterize Buchanan's campaign as a racist, bombastic tirade misses the

point. While most ofhis ideas seem intolerable, the key issue is centered around middle-America's growing fears and concern for their well-being. If Buchanan's campaign serves as nothing else, it should serve as a catalyst to bring this issue into the foreground.

Goldstein's fears that Buchanan's brand of conservatism is going to destroy American institutions, like the wonderful NEA, is looking at the issue from an unnecessary point of view. Buchanan's support in the polls is, perhaps, ten points to fifteen points higher among the religious right than Bob Dole's and a scarce amount of points above Dole's among those calling themselves true conservatives. Buchanan's views on abortion are much in line with those of Keys, Dole, and even Forbes, who oppose abortion. The key delineation between the candidates, however, lies in their brand of economic message. Buchanan has taken the pulse of the average-American worker, the Bethlehem Steel plant worker who just lost his job or the gear-shift installer who just got his pink slip, and he has tried to address this pulse. The pulse shows that these people have high blood pressure from nights spent worrying about their future. While I do not hope Buchanan wins the nomination, I do hope that his message is addressed. It is important to sift through Buchanan's rhetorical garbage, and the columns that lambaste it (like Goldberg's), and find this message.

FRIDAY, MARCH 1 , 1996 THE CHRONICLE

Commentary

Refusing to vote disempowers marginalized people Sometime yesterday I braved the Bryan

Center crowds, found myself a DSG representative with a card reader and voted.

Sometime next fall I'm going to navigate the U.S. mail system, rustle up an absentee ballot and do the same thing.

Not surprisingly, a little voice keeps nagging at me: "Why? Why bother? Save yourself the BC lines and a stamp."

Granted in today's society, there are scores of people who believe that their vote doesn't count. This sentiment is heightened for members of marginalized groups. The recent success of right-wing politicians—anti-welfare, anti-affirmative action, anti-anything that owns up to America's racist past or bleak racially unequal present—speaks to the margin-alization ofthe minority vote. While there continues to be a segment ofthe politicos who consistently appeal to the "black vote," elections like North Carolina senatorial races, for example, prove that this appeal is not vital to political success.

So why vote? The political scene, at Duke andnation-

ally, is abysmal. If it isn't Farrakhan upsetting Jewish people, it's Newt Gingrich scaring African Americans to death. Everytime you open the paper, be it The New York Times or The Chronicle, you see rational people moving backwards: welfare is the scourge of the nation (remember black people are lazy); we all should carry guns (remember those black gang-bangers on television are coming to a street corner near you); segments of our community are still segregating themselves on Central Campus (remember blacks are naturally separatist and they're still bitter about slavery, anyway); cultural groups can be dangerous (remember after they make ten friends that look like them, they won't come out oftheir dorm rooms until the next BSAmeeting). It's one thing to bring up these issues for bridge-mending dis-

The A-train Tonya Matthews cussions, but it's downright depressing if the societal climate permits them to be used as political platforms.

So why vote? There are two very different, but very

practical reasons for black people, and marginalized people anywhere for that matter, to vote.

The first reason: The chaos and selectivity of today's politcal scene is causing widespread apathy. There hasn't been a 50 percent plus voter-turnout at Duke since I've been here. National elections are suffering similarly. LaniGuinier has focused countless hours on the "tyranny ofthe majority." Sheisabsolutley correct—a society that runs solely on the will of the majority consistently disenfranchises significant segments of its population if that majority doesn't shift. In America, socio-economics and race almost gurantee a "stable" majority. But what if the majority doesn't vote? Granted, such a question grossly oversimplifies the isssue and grants too much credence to the proverbial apathy sweeping this country, but let's indulge: What if the "majority" doesn't vote?

Who's vote will count? If gay people don't vote because thier vote doesn't count and Jews don't vote because thier vote doesn't count and Latinos, Asian-Americans and African-Americans don't vote because thier vote doesn't count^nd middle and lower-class, unpolitically savvy white Americans don't vote because thier vote doesn't count... then won't my vote count? Well, damn, somebody's vote has got to count, right?

Anyone paying attention to the current political scene knows that, no, individual

votes still don't weigh quite that much. The majority is voting, but they are not voting in the numbers that they could. This means that minority blocks are plausible and powerful. So, there is a point to voting. Of course, there is also a skill involved in unifying and utilizing blocks of votes—no group is truly homogenous— but that is another topic altogether.

The second reason: Even individual votes hold politicians accountable. The pharse "I am a voting citizen" still strikes fear into the hearts of most politicians. Why?

Voting gives you the right to complain— and we all know, no one raises a protest like irrate black folk. Underrepresented we might be, marginalized we might remain, but when it comes down to it, we can write our letters to the editor, appear on Donahue and divert front page Post coverage just long enough to make our representatives miserable. The effects of such tactics within a small community like Duke are especially effective for rallying mass critism.

There is a pervailing philosophy, however, that ifyou are unwilling to do anything, then nothing will be done for you. You cannot forfeit an election, only to return to the political scene, months later, with complaints. That is ridiculous, and besides, the only votes that really don't count are thennes that aren't cast. What politician is going to waste time trying to appease a voter who's not going to vote for or against him? Your vote and thus your opinions, needs and concerns are null. You will be rightfully ignored.

It doesn't matter who you voted for or who won. As a voting citizen you can still command, or at least demand, respect from your representative.

So, as you read this, know that I've already voted. And if Mr. and Mrs. DSG don't create policy akin to what I believe appropriate next year, I'm going to open up my e-mail and raise hell.

Television versus radio: Videos detract from music As a child, I was instructed to read a

book rather than watch a movie or television. My parents and teachers argued that reading would not only improve my vocabulary and diction, but also would allow me to take an active role in the formation of expressions of my own. Indeed, as I started to read more, I found myself associating dif- ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

ferent characters of books with people I knew, and began to draw parallels between certain themes in my own life. Meanwhile, movies and television conformed me to the single perception of what was flashing on my screen rather than allowing me to express my own ideas.

In the same way, I have found that music videos remove the listener from the active role of participation in the formation of ideas. This is achieved by conforming the listener to the single view ofthe director of the video, who rarely participates in either the writingor recording ofthe song. In addition, the inception of the music minute movies. Music videos act as a video has left us with a generation of selling point, especially when the song

watered-down music, whose lack of quality can always be made up for with flash -ingimages, special effects and half-naked women.

Just the other day I walked into a friend's room to find the song "California Love" by Tupac Shakur and Dr. Dre on the television. Apparently, the lyrics have some-^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ thing to do with

"" the final chase scene in "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome" or at least some post-apocalyptic fanta-

_ sy. Sadly, I know that if I am ever to

hear that song again, my mind will be cluttered with the images ofa futuristic, high intensity chase on a barren desert terrain. The chance of my own ideasform-ing has been swept aside for this single vie w that is far from being my own. I have been separated from this artwork by an impenetrable wall called the music video.

So why do artists make music videos? The bottom line is sales—otherwise the record companies would not be willing to pour millions of dollars into these five

Guest column Jonathan Jaffe itself lacks quality. For instance, Madonna's "Justify My Love" video contained just enough nudity and obscenity to be banned from MTV, causing a public relations scandal that made sales soar. To be honest, I never heard anyone talking about the quality of that song. It sold simply because ofthe controversial material contained on its video.

A similar case is that of the "King of Pop," Michael Jackson, whose quality as a musician has unquestionably plummeted over the last few years. Jackson's recent videos have been eight minute epics in which he is either floating around alost starship, making out with his now ex-wife, demonstrating his care of cultural diversity to Macaulay Ctilkin and Norm from "Cheers" or showing-offhis dancing ability to the Egyptian high court of Eddie Murphy, Magic Johnson and Iman. While Jackson's musical quality has steadily decreased, the magnificence ofhis videos and pure name recognition have allowed him to remain at the top of the charts.

The first losers in this game are the musicians, who have been forced, by the legitimacy ofthe institution we know as MTV, to alienate themselves from their listeners. This is done by giving the product which was once solely theirs to a director who most likely was not involved in the process of creating it. This director most often assigns whatever meaningthey feel will sell the most records, even if it is something as ludicrous as the final chase scene of "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.'' The musicians are also hurt by the fact that they will forever be linked to what is put into their video. For instance, Aerosmith will be known forever by a generation of teenyboppers as "the group with Alicia Silverstone in their videos."

The biggest loser in this new industry is you and I, the true lovers ofthe art form we call music, who desire to fully hear all that the musician is trying to express and try to connect with any given song on a personal level. Hopefiilly, as alienation turns into resentment, we will have the mind to turn off our television sets, and let our own imaginations roam freely.

Trinity senior Peggy Cross, the current DSG president, said she was pleased with the outcome ofthe election. "I think that the election process was very smooth this year," Cross said. "It was an election of ideas that people have been listening to and judging all year. There was a huge voter turn-out. The candidates all ran very clean campaigns so there wasn't anything negative to discourage people from voting."

Trinity junior Bill Schloss, DSG attorney general, agreed that this year's election successfully maintained its integrity. "I was happy with the election bylaw changes I made early in the year and think they did a lot to curb complaints and bring student confidence back to the elections process," Schloss said.

While winners needed at least six percent more of the votes than their nearest opponent, all of the victors accumulated decisive vote totals over other candidates. In the closest race, Mitchell had a 7.7 percent margin of victory over her second-closest opponent. She said she appreciative ofthe voter turnout. "The student government can only be effectual if people come out and let their voices be heard. I'll try to do more than my best."

Nesbit said he already has a timeline in mind for his preparations in assuming the role of DSG president.

"Fm looking forward to working with Peggy (Cross) in this time of transition, getting some guidance from her," he said. The two are also working to bring to cam-

Nesbit's top priorities include improving Safe Rides and Safe Walks and working to repeal the policy that prevents students on financial aid from keeping cars on campus. He also is aiming to get student groups the meeting spaces they need.

Tar Heels invade Duke for another Cameron clash Men's basketball aims for 6th straight victory Sunday By JAMES CAVERLEE

For the past four years, the Duke-North Carolina basketball rivalry has produced some of the most memorable games in the country. From the thriller pitting the top two ranked teams in the country two years ago to a double-overtime battle last season to this year's one-point game, the rivalry has been unmatched.

Except for one fact: ever since their first meeting in the 1992-93 season, the Blue Devils have lost every game between the two storied programs. That's six losses in a row to the Tar Heels, matching the longest such streak in head coach Mike Krzyzewski's career.

But Sunday afternoon, the Blue Devils (18-10, 8-7 in the Atlantic Coast Conference) will get a chance to end that streak and lay claim to a share of third place in the conference in Cameron Indoor Stadium before a national television audience.

"This is Duke-Carolina," sophomore Ricky Price said. "They're our arch-ri-

A win over North Carolina would be the second in a one-two punch that has seen the Heels drop five of their last eight games, including a thrashing to cross-state rival Wake Forest Tuesday

Heels (19-9, 9-6 in the ACC) have fallen quickly after getting off to a sizzling 7-1 conference start.

While North Carolina has cooled down, the Blue Devils— winners of five straight—have emerged from the midst of the ACC pack to claim sole pos

session of fourth place. A 5-2 second half matched with a Tar Heel slide gives the Blue Devils a chance to make up four games in the conference standings over the course of the second half. And a win over the Tar Heels would force a tie for third place in the ACC, though North Carolina would earn the third seed in the conference tournament because of a tie-breaker rule.

"When we started out the conference, everybody wrote us off—they said it was over for Duke and we were through," Price said. "Now we can tie

them for the conference. That shows pride and determination on everybody's part in this program."

After dropping four straight to open the ACC season, the Blue Devils seemingly had dug themselves a hole from which even they would be hard-pressed to recover. But senior Chris Collins' tough play and freshman Taymon Domzalski's emergence inside have led Duke to a five-game conference win streak.

Women's lacrosse faces first competition By DAN COHEN

For the women's lacrosse team, the eternal preseason is drawing to a close.

Since the announcement in September of 1994 that Duke would field a varsity women's lacrosse team for the first time, the players have only been able to practice and play against each other. But Saturday, the Blue Devils will finally get to face live competition in the William & Mary Tournament in Williamsburg, Va.

The preseason match will feature a round-robin format in which Duke will play five different teams for 20 minutes each. The Blue Devils' opponents will run the gamut from powerful Loyola to fellow lacrosse rookie Susque-hana College. Duke will also face St. Joseph's, Franklin & Marshall and Johns Hopkins in the tournament.

The Blue Devils are anxious to face any opponent that does not share the same locker room.

"Everyone is very excited to play and see what real competition is like," freshman attacker Meg McLaughlin said. "Everyone has been working so hard since August, so we're very anxious to play other teams. This weekend is going to be the climax of a long fall and winter."

The tournament will serve as Duke's only preseason competition before the regular season opener next Thursday against Colgate. It will allow

Duke to gauge itself against other programs without feeling any pressure to win. Yet.

"We're just going to go out and have a good time," head coach Kirsten Kimel said. "We just want to get the jitters out and let people play. We're not going to get caught up in wins and losses right now. We're just playing to have fun."

Duke's focus in the tournament will be to practice the mental aspects of game situations ,since this is the only area that the Kirsten Kimel Blue Devils were not able to practice in their team scrimmages.

"It will be interesting to see how we meet other teams' challenges," Kimel said. "We can do the basic fundamentals, but emotional and mental preparation is where we're lacking. So we'll be looking for intangible things, like how we react to things."

The Blue Devils may not be concentrating on the outcome of their games this weekend, but they still may be able to surprise some other teams on the field.

"I don't know a lot about the other teams, but I know that we can win," sophomore defender Lorrie Meyercord said. "We're a good team as long as we stay tough mentally.

"We're definitely looking to win because that would give us a confidence boost going into the season. And we need that because you can't get that confidence scrimmaging against yourself. But if we lose, we won't be hanging our heads." The format of the tournament will also aid Duke in its mental development, as

the shortened games will allow Duke to make adjustments quickly before playing in the next game.

"The shorter games will help us because we haven't played a full game yet," sophomore Kristin Lonergan said. "The 20-minute games will help us ease into our first game.

"But this weekend, we're just excited to play against other teams. It doesn't matter how we do. We're going to work hard and have fun and get all the nervousness out before the real games."


Three N.C. State players arrested

RALEIGH (AP) —Three North Carolina State football players have been arrested on felony breaking-and-entering charges after some cars were broken into outside a movie theater, authorities said Thursday.

Coach Mike O'Cain also announced the three players—juniors Chris McNeil and Steven McK-night and sophomore Brian Brooks—all were kicked off the team.

Brooks, a 19-year-old defensive tackle, was arrested late Wednesday and charged with two counts of breaking and entering of a vehicle and one misdemeanor count of making a false police report, the Wake County magistrate's office said.

McNeil, a defensive end, and McKnight, an outside linebacker, turned themselves in to police on Thursday. McNeil, 21, was charged with two counts of breaking and entering of a vehicle, while McKnight, 22, was charged with one similar count, authorities said.

McNeil and McKnight were released on $5,000 bond through a bail bondsman, but Brooks remained in jail under a $5,500 bond, according to jail records.

Plain-clothes officers said they saw some people smash car windows outside the theater Wednesday night. The officers chased a car, which stopped and the suspects fled, police said. The car was traced back to Brooks' family, according to police.

Brooks said that when confronted about the break-ins, Brooks said he had been the victim of a carjacking, according to police.

The officers had been investigating a series of car stereo thefts outside the theater, said Raleigh Police Lt. Dennis Poteat.

"At this point, we don't have evidence or reason to believe that they'll be connected to other cases, but that doesn't mean it won't happen," Poteat said. "It's just too early to tell."

O'Cain said he was disappointed with the players but said he had no other choice but to dismiss them. O'Cain said he will assess their status as the investigation and court proceedings progress.

"When any of our student-athletes' conduct is unacceptable, we take it very personally," O'Cain said. "We hold our athletes accountable and it hurts deeply when their behavior results in action which could affect them the rest oftheir lives."

Men's lacrosse hosts No. 5 Maryland Blue Devils, Terrapins feature two of NCAA's best goalies By ERIC FRIEDMAN

The seventh-ranked men's lacrosse team is clicking on all cylinders as it enters its season opener against fifth-ranked Maryland Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Duke Lacrosse Stadium.

The Blue Devils enter the game coming off a preseason in which they played well against three talented teams—Loyola, Johns Hopkins and Towson State. These games, as well as their lack of injuries coming into Saturday's game, give the Blue Devils a great deal of confidence.

"We've had three scrimmages with top teams, so we've had some pretty good competition in preseason," junior middie Alex Whitten said. "We're better now than we ever have been in the past at this time of year. We have a real cohesive team and everything seems to be coming along great."

The Blue Devils will have to be at the top of their game in order to match up with the Terrapins. Maryland was an Joe Kirmser NCAA finalist last season, and it started this year off with a 12-6 win last weekend over Vil- c lanova. The game will also be important in the always hotly contested Atlantic Coast Conference title

drew Whipple and Matt Hahn, will lead the Terps' attack. Whipple scored four goals last season when Maryland defeated the Blue Devils 8-6.

"They like a slower tempo of a game," Whitten said. "They like to slow things down. They're not a fast team or very athletic, but they're very good lacrosse players. They play a slower tempo of the game, but they get the job done."

Having a season opener against a ranked, conference rival such as Maryland will be a change for Duke. Last season, the Blue Devils defeated Butler

19-4 in their first game of the year before taking on Maryland the following weekend. However, the change in scheduling tactics does not phase the Blue Devils. "We used to play mediocre teams to open

the season and Maryland would be our second game," Whitten said. "Those first teams that we played just weren't a test for us. We're really kind of looking forward to the challenge of it more than anything. We don't see it as being a problem. We'll be ready to play the game on Satur-

This is a huge game for both teams," head coach Mike Pressler said. "A big conference game, a big game nationally and traditionally the winner is off to a great start.

"We both figure on hopefully being in the NCAA playoff hunt, and the winner has a win against a tournament team. That's what it usually comes down to. We've focused our entire preseason on getting prepared for Maryland on Saturday."

The game will feature an intense matchup between two of the best defensive teams in the nation. The Terrapins are led by senior goalie Brian Dougherty. Dougherty was named first-team--All-American last season, with a 9.1 goals against average.

The Blue Devils in turn are led by their own senior goalie, Joe Kirmser. Kirmser, who was a third-team All-America last year, highlights a talented Duke defensive unit that returns the bulk of its top performers from last season.

The Duke defense will be facing a deliberate, yet talented Maryland attack. A pair of sophomores, An-

History shows that this will be a close game, as most ACC games are. In addition to last season's 8-6 game, most of the recent games in the series have been close contests. The 1994 regular season matchup was a 13-12 Maryland overtime win.

With the teams ranked so closethis season and the two top goalies in the nation guarding the nets, this season's matchup should also be a battle that goes down to the wire.

"Traditionally this game is a one or two goal game either way," Pressler said. "The last four years we played, it was decided in the fourth quarter. We expect the same kind of scenario this weekend."

Blue Devils attempt to entice top high school juniors Californians Burgess and Chenowith make cross-country trek to attend Duke-UNC game By JONATHAN GANZ

A win over North Carolina on Sunday will move the Blue Devils into a tie for third place in the Atlantic Coast Conference, but it may allow Duke to move past the Tar Heels in the recruiting wars.

High school juniors Chris Burgess and Eric Chenowith will be making a visit to Cameron Indoor Stadium on Sunday afternoon to witness the 196th meeting between the two teams. The two big men from California are making the journey across the country specifically for this game.

"Where I'm from there are a few big rivalries, but nothing like Duke-Carolina," Burgess said. "I can't wait to see Cameron, the students and the game. The student support is just amazing."

Burgess, who is 6-foot-10, attends Woodbridge High School in Irvine, Calif. He is rated as the No. 1 junior prospect in the nation. His list of schools has been narrowed to just five—UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and Arizona.

Burgess averaged 26 points and over 10 rebounds per game this past season. He was the leading scorer in Orange County, was named Most Valuable Player in his league and was an All-County selection. Woodbridge was eliminated from the State tournament last week in the quarterfinals.

"Obviously, he's the real deal," Woodbridge head coach John Halagan

said. "You're talking about a 6-10 kid— he's an athletic Christian Laettner. That's what I've heard. He's got the same size, very tenacious, a very similar demeanor. I think he is certainly more of a deep threat, shooting the ball, in addition to playing above the rim and attacking the rim.

"He's just a highlight film at the high school level. Some ofthe dunks he throws down and some ofthe moves he makes in the open floor for a kid his size are truly amazing."

Duke has created a pipeline of sorts from southern California to Durham. The Blue Devils have signed many players from the area, including current Blue Devil Ricky Price and last year's graduates Cherokee Parks and Erik Meek.

"Chris certainly feels a pull to Duke because a lot of local kids have gone out that way," Halagan said. "You get to play in a great conference. It doesn't get any better than the ACC. Even though we're not playing right now, I think it may have worked out for the best because now Chris gets a chance to go and get a feel for the atmosphere on Duke's campus during basketball season.

"To go into Cameron and get a chance to watch Duke play North Carolina, it doesn't get any better in college than that—the best rivalry going."

Price was Burgess' counselor at the Nike summer basketball camp last year. Burgess is excited about making

the trip to see Duke, Cameron and finally meet Blue Devil head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

"I haven't met Coach K yet," Burgess said. "I've seen the assistant coaches, but not Coach K. I saw him last year at Nike camp, but he was far away and I

er," Halagan said. "Every college coach that has come in here has pretty much reiterated that they felt Chris was the kind of guy you recruit around—the cornerstone of the junior class. Right now, everybody that's been in here has told me that they think he's the best

"[Chris Burgess is] just a highlight film at the high school level. Some of the dunks he throws down and some of the moves he makes in the open floor for a kid his size are truly amazing."

Woodbridge head coach John Halagan

was taking a picture of him." Burgess hopes to meet Krzyzewski

and the rest of the players on the visit to Duke. NCAA rules prohibit coaches from talking to recruits off of their campuses. So, this will be a golden opportunity for Krzyzewski to sit down and talk with Burgess.

He is considered by recruiting organizations to be the top player in the country, and he hopes to make his decision before the early signing period next November. That would allow him to concentrate on his senior basketball season.

"Quite frankly, I don't just think the scouting publications are the only people who believe Chris is the No. 1 play-

player that is out there." Chenowith is also one of the more

highly recruited players in the country. Standing 7-foot-l, he is a junior at Villa Park High School.

Both big men will not sign letters of intent until November at the earliest. But there is little doubt that what they see in Cameron on Sunday will play a major role in their decision, especially with Burgess.

"I think Duke's chances, as I said before, Tou're in the top five,'" Halagan said. "I think the reputation of the program is second to none nationally when you like at the whole picture of athletics and academics. It doesn't get any better than [Duke]."

Carolina stumbles into its matchup with Blue Devils

UNC vs. Duke

• UNC GAME from page 15 facing ACC teams the second time around. One ofthe key factors for their lack of success has been opposing teams' keying in on freshman Aritawn Jamison.

Jamison, who had notched nine double-doubles before the losing skid, has seen his scoring numbers drop off considerably. Add to that a bothersome knee to 7-foot-2 Serge Zwikker, and it is clear why the Tar Heels have been reeling.

In the first meeting between the two teams this Greg Newton year, the Tar Heels squeaked out a one-point win on Dante Calabria's last-second putback. Price missed a potentially game-winning bucket for Duke at the buzzer to hand North Carolina another slim victory. After the game, Calabria was critical of them."

Price and the hapless Blue Devils. But after Wednesday's clutch three-point shot, Price would seem to be back on even ground.

"I have no clue what Dante said," Price said. "But when he comes into Cameron and our crowd is pumping and we're emotional, it's going to be a whole different story." The Cameron crowd should

be lively, coming off a raucous game against defending national champion UCLA last Sunday. More than 180 tents have been pitched, marking the longest line for a Duke home game in at least four

years.

"I can't remember the last time we beat them," Price said. "I want to beat UNC—we play them at home, and we have a great, great chance to beat

ANALYSIS

i

4) 00

Domzalski and Newton have provided a solid one-two punch in the middle, and senior Stan Brunson scraps for every loose ball. But Jamison abused the Blue Devils for 23 points and 14 rebounds a month ago.

In his final home game, Collins aims to keep up his scintillating statistics— 23.2 points and 4.4 assists in his last five games. Add to that mix Jeff Capel's bombs and Price's smooth moves, and the Heels could get bedeviled.

Both teams get serious minutes from only seven players. Brunson and Steve Wojciechowski have stepped up recently, but even they can't counter Shammond Williams' clutch shooting and Vince Carter's rarified dunks.

Are you kidding? The Blue Devils have so much going for them in this category—185+ tenting Crazies, a chance to tie for third-place and redemption after last month's game. Expect Cameron to rock like never before.

THE NOD

After suffering through one-and-a-half of the toughest ACC seasons in fifteen years, the Blue Devils are playing like a team on a mission. Price's three-point heroics only serve to punctuate the change in play and attitude of this team—these guys are tired of losing. Granted, UNC has owned Duke over the past four seasons, but this time the roles are reversed. Duke pulls away in a classic, 81-74. —Compiled by James Caveriee

Burton three-pointer helps Cincinnati down Memphis By JOE KAY Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Darnell Burton hit another crucial three-pointer and a pair of free throws in the closing minutes Thursday night, leading No. 7 Cincinnati to a 71-66 victory over No. 14 Memphis and a share ofthe Conference USA championship.

Cincinnati (22-3, 11-2) blew a 13-point lead midway through the second half but rallied behind Burton's clutch touch. Burton's three-pointer broke a 67-all tie with 2:18 to play, and his two free throws with 15 seconds left clinched it.

Burton also hit a three-pointer with two seconds left last Sunday for a 65-

63 victory over Tulane. Memphis (20-6, 10-3) had two

chances to take the lead in the final 62 seconds, but Mingo Johnson had one shot blocked and a three-pointer fall short. Johnson led Memphis with 18 points and Lorenzen Wright added 16.

Danny Fortson led Cincinnati with 25 points and 17 rebounds, which matched his career high, but it was up to Burton to pull it out at the end. Burton had 16 points.

The schools have a recent history of playing for conference championships. Cincinnati beat Memphis three consecutive years—1992-947-in the championship game of the Great Midwest Tournament. Memphis beat Cincinnati

last season to clinch the Great Midwest regular-season title.

Like most of the others, this one went down to the final minutes, Burton's favorite time.

After his three-pointer from the right wing put Cincinnati ahead 67-64, Michael Wilson's follow-up basket cut it to 67-66. Art Long hit one free throw for Cincinnati, and Damon Flint blocked Johnson's driving shot to preserve the lead.

Burton hit two free throws with 18 seconds left for a 69-66 lead, and Johnson's three-pointer attempt hit the front of the rim. Fortson rebounded and hit one free throw with four seconds left.

Cincinnati outrebounded Memphis

46-27, a sign of the Tigers' front-line weakness. Fortson, a 6-foot-7, 260-pound power forward, roamed freely through the Tigers' injury-depleted front line. Memphis missed backup forward Chad Allen, who tore a knee ligament last Sunday in a 57-54 victory over Louisville.

Cincinnati led by as many as 11 points in the first half and pushed its advantage to 40-27 when Fortson scored four points to open the second half.

But Memphis intensified its defense and rallied behind Wright, who became more aggressive despite foul troubles. Wright scored six points in a 16-2 run that put Memphis ahead 47-46 with 13:06 left. Neither team could pull away after that.

Goestenkors leads Blue Devils into national spotlight ACC Coach of Year elevates Duke from league cellar By JOHN SEELKE

Duke head women's basketball coach Gail Goestenkors was just a sophomore in high school when she had her first taste of coaching. A point guard on her high school team, she had a coach who had never played basketball and knew nothing about the game. So Goestenkors, who knew a little bit about basketball from her coaching father and her basketball-playing brothers, met with her head coach to plan strategy.

"He and I got together and we looked at a book, Basketball Drills, and we decided what offense we wanted to run, what defense we wanted to run," she recalled. "I called all the timeouts for the team, because he didn't have a feel for the game. What I missed out on are the finer points, but the thing I gained was a lot of confidence and a real feel for the game."

Little did she know that years after looking in a book for coaching strategy, she may be able to write the book on how to turn a basketball program around. The 1996 Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year has turned the Blue Devil women's basketball program into a national powerhouse in merely four years.

Goestenkors has known since her freshman year at Saginaw Valley State she wanted to go into coaching. As a point guard, she was the coach on the court, calling the plays and making decisions. During the summer, she found a job to stay at school and to become immersed in basketball. She finished her collegiate career as an NAIA All-American, with her collegiate team compiling a 114-13 record during her four years.

After college, Goestenkors took a graduate assistant's job at Iowa State. One year later, collegiate coaching doors swung open for the recent graduate. First, her coach at Saginaw Valley State, Marsha Reall, was offered a job at Ball State and took Goestenkors with her. One month later, Reall was hired as head coach at Purdue and hired Goestenkors as one of her assistants. When Reall left Purdue after the year, her replacement—Lin Dunn—-retained Goestenkors as an assistant. Dunn was known to give her assistants numerous responsibilities, and Goestenkors was more than willing to handle them.

"When Gail came to work for me, the thing that impressed me right off the bat was her work ethic," Dunn said. "The other thing was her ability to relate to the student athlete. She made the players feel comfortable."

At Purdue, Goestenkors learned much of her coaching strategy. One of her main responsibilities was recruiting. She quickly learned how important it was to attract quality people to build up a program. Four years after her Purdue debut, the Boilermakers won the Big 10 title.

"I think the thing that I learned was that if you bring in the right people, you can see a lot of success and it doesn't have to take a long, long time," Goestenkors said. "But you have to bring in the right people. It's not necessarily the best players, but it's the players that want to be the best."

Dunn said the main reason Goestenkors is such a good recruiter is her work ethic and her sincerity. She explained that Goestenkors has the knack to enter a recruit's home and im

mediately make the prospect and her family feel at ease.

In 1991, Goestenkors applied for the opening at Duke. Among all ofthe candidates interviewed, she wasn't even among Blue Devil athletic director Tom Butters' short list to replace Debbie Leonard. Goestenkors was the fifth choice of the five candidates Butters interviewed. But just 20 minutes into the interview, Goestenkors knew that Duke was the perfect fit. She didn't give Butters a specific number of years on gaining a conference or national title. She simply said there was no reason Duke could not win a national title.

"I felt that Duke was looking for someone exactly like me, and I was looking for Coach G something exactly like Duke," Goestenkors said. "And I think that's how Tom Butters felt once we got into the meetings. I could see with many of the beliefs I had, he got more and more excited as the meeting went on."

Goestenkors felt the key to building Duke's program was recruiting. She told Butters that she didn't want to create a program that had one or two good seasons and then faded away. She wanted to build from the bottom up and establish a winning tradition at Duke. In order to accomplish that feat, she needed to attract great players with great attitudes to Durham.

Goestenkors knew that task wasn't going to be easy. In her first year at

has brought Duke to a No. 12 ranking.

Duke, the Blue Devils were picked to finish last in the ACC. And that's exactly where they ended the season, with a 3-13 conference record. Goestenkors had to convince players like Kira Orr, who was being recruited by Stanford—the preceding year's national champion— that coming to Duke meant joining a up-and-coming team.

The philosophy of her recruiting comes from a plaque that hangs in her office. It reads: "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Goestenkors uses that ideal over and over again in recruiting. She also uses imagination—forcing the players to

Race for ACC Tournament title shows no clear winner Conference coaches expect to garner at least 4 NCAA invitations after ACCs By DAVE BERGER

If the regular season is any indication, the 1996 Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Basketball Tournament will be completely up for grabs.

Unlike last year, when Virginia—which had gone undefeated in conference play—and North Carolina—which was the defending national champion— stood out as clear favorites, this year's field is wide open. The Cavaliers (22-5, 13-3 in the ACC) once again hold the No. 1 seed, but at least three other schools enter the league tournament extremely confident about Debbie Ryan their chances.

"I think it's going to be the most competitive tournament in my nine years here at Clemson," Tiger head coach Jim Davis said. "Anything can happen... it's the second season, and if you snooze, you lose."

Virginia attacks its opponents with a multi-faceted arsenal, featuring ACC Player of the Year Wendy Palmer in the paint and first-team

all-conference selection Tora Suber on the perimeter. Palmer, with 15.3 points and 11.9 points per conference game, was the only player in the ACC to average a double-double in league

play, and Suber, a 5-foot-7 junior, finished in the top 10 in seven of the ACCs nine major statistical categories. As if its dynamic duo weren't enough, Virginia also has a strong history, with 12 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.

"Virginia definitely has the tradition and the experience," said Florida State head coach Marynell Meadors, whose Seminoles take on the Cavaliers Fri

day at 2:30 p.m. "They're doing very well this year, and I think they have a good shot at going to the Final Four if they get the right drive."

Virginia's top competition could come from second-seeded Duke (23-5, 12-4), which did anything but snooze in last year's ACC tourney. The Blue Devils shocked the then-No^ 6 Cavaliers 83-82 in overtime of the 1995

conference tournament semifinals, and they have continued to pester UVa this season. Three weeks ago Duke handed the Cavaliers only their second home defeat in 67 games at University Hall, and in early January, the Blue Devils came within one point of beating UVa again.

The two other teams with winning conference records—N.C. State and Clemson—have struggled in recent weeks. Just two weeks ago both the Wolfpack and Tigers looked like contenders for the ACC regular-season title, yet both faltered down the stretch. With stars like second-team all-conference selections Chasity Melvin and Jennifer Howard, N.C. State (18-8, 10-6) has the players to win the postseason tournament, but it needs to find the consistency that has eluded it during the second half of the ACC season.

"We started out really strong, but we have not played as well in the last couple of weeks," N.C. State head coach Kay Yow said. "I think we have a really good team, and when we're clicking on all cylinders, we are very strong and can compete with most

teams in the country. I'm hoping we can re-focus and get our intensity back."

While the Wolfpack played somewhat worse in the final weeks than it previously had, the Tigers (19-7, 9-7) disappeared completely, dropping their last three contests and falling into fourth place. Despite his team's recent struggles, Davis believes that, regardless of the outcome of its first-round ACC Tournament game with North Carolina (13-13, 8-8), Clemson deserves an NCAA Tournament bid.

"I just can't help but believe that they're going to take the top four teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference if we have any respect at all from the selection committee," Davis said. "I would hate to think that the ACC did not deserve getting four teams in there, and whether we lose to North Carolina or not, I don't think that it's a must-win situation for us to get into the NCAA Tournament."

While Clemson may not need even one ACC Tournament victory to reach the NCAA tourney, its first-round opponent needs three. UNC

Blue Devils battle Wake Forest in quarterfinal action By JOEL ISRAEL

As February turns into March and the regular season concludes, the women's basketball team is hoping to turn a season of promise into a season of fulfillment.

No. 12 Duke (23-5, 12-4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference) opens up its postseason run in Rock Hill, S.C, tonight at 6:30 p.m. against Wake Forest (13-13, 6-10) in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament.

The Blue Devils are coming off the most successful regular-season campaign in school history. The 23 wins are a school record and Duke's second-place standing in the conference is the highest it has ever finished.

"We know we've had a good season up to this point but also understand there are things we still need to accomplish and want to accomplish," head coach Gail Goestenkors said. "We're not forgetting what we've been able to

do and we need to build upon it." Tonight's game versus the Demon

Deacons in Winthrop Coliseum begins a weekend that teams all across the country look to as a springboard. A strong showing can give a team momentum heading into the NCAAs, while an early-round loss has the potential to be devastating. Duke approaches these games with a positive attitude.

"We want to continue to improve and this is another step for us," Goestenkors said. "We're going in with the thought that we want to win the championship.

"We understand we kind of let it slip through our fingers in the regular season and we want to go in there and win the thing and have that momentum going into the NCAA Tournament."

The Blue Devils head into the weekend on one of their biggest highs of the season, riding a five-game win

ning streak. Included in the streak is last Friday's emotional home win against North Carolina and a road victory over Virginia, the No. 1 seed in the ACC tourney.

The leader for Duke the past few weeks has been junior guard Kira Orr. She leads the team in scoring during conference play with just under 14 points per game, including a 20-point, eight-rebound performance last Friday night. Orr has especially improved her play since early February, when an injury to junior forward Windsor Coggeshall limited the squad's depth.

"After Windsor's back injury, Coach G said we needed everyone to step up," Orr said. "With [freshman] Hilary [Howard] in, she's not looking for her shot as much, so I knew I'd get more chances to score."

Coggeshall's injury was a crippling one that immediately impacted the team in two straight losses to N.C. State and Maryland. While Goestenkors feels it's not likely that Coggeshall will return this weekend, there remains a chance that the forward could

see action in the NCAAs. In Coggeshall's absence, Howard

has taken her spot in the starting lineup. Despite a broken toe, the freshman guard has played well with her increased playing time.

Another freshman, Payton Black, has also been a key to Duke's recent success. She has scored in double figures the past four games, including a career-high 22 points against Clemson 11 days ago.

"I feel like I'm getting a couple more minutes than I was before, so I've been more confident with the additional playing time," Black said. "We have such a small bench, so when we do come off the bench, we have to play quality minutes and keep the team from falling behind."

Duke has handled Wake Forest well in the two meetings thus far this year. The Blue Devils won 74-64 in Winston-Salem on Jan. 14, in a game that Duke actually trailed by eight at the half. Orr led four players in double figures as the Blue Devils rallied for the win.

The more recent game between the two teams occurred in Cameron Indoor Stadium on Feb. 8. Duke was coming off its shocking loss to Maryland and facing a plethora of injuries. But the Blue Devils gave one oftheir most emotional performances of the year in an 85-66 victory.

A key to the game was a full-court press Duke used to surprise the Demon Deacons. Despite only having seven healthy players, the Blue Devils chased after Wake Forest all night, forcing it into 15 turnovers.

"I think we caught them by surprise a little bit because they expected us to be a little bit down, and because of our numbers I don't think they expected us to be able to pick up full-court," Goestenkors said. "But I'm sure they're going to be ready for us this time.

"We're not going to catch anybody by surprise any more. It's going to be a battle. I wouldn't be surprised if it went right down to the wire because they've got a lot more confidence now."

Wake Forest won both of its contests this season against N.C. State, a team that swept Duke. The Demon Deacons are led by Tracy Connor, who is averaging 21 points and 11.5 rebounds in

the two games with the Blue Devils. Another key player is point guard Gretchen Hollifield, who can take over a game with her play. Goestenkors called Hollifield the "heart and soul" of Wake Forest and feels stopping her is essential.

If the favored Blue Devils knock off the Demon Deacons, a likely semifinal opponent would be No. 3 seed N.C. State. The Wolfpack gave Duke half of its ACC losses this year and is the only ACC team Duke did not beat in the regular season.

"I think [beating N.C. State] is something we'd all be looking forward to," Orr said. "I think it would be great because they did sweep us and especially beating them in the ACC Tournament would feel great."

Should Duke and Virginia both win their first two games, Sunday's championship would serve as the rubber match for the two teams. The Cavaliers beat Duke on a last-second layup by Tora Suber on Jan. 8, but Duke won the second game, on Feb. 10, 72-69.

In order to reach the finals, the Blue Devils must overcome a lack of depth. With only seven players in their rotation, fatigue could be a concern, but the team is not concerned.

"[Fatigue] is not a worry with this team," Goestenkors said. "I think with any other team it would be but I know this team has so much heart and so much character. I know they're able to fight through any fatigue they might feel."

A strong strong showing this weekend is crucial to Duke's seeding in the NCAAs. If the Blue Devils are at least a No. 4 seed, they will get two home games before the regionals.

"It would be nice to win it alt [this weekend]," Orr said. "We went last year [to the championship] and fell short so we're really hungry this year. It would be a great momentum builder going into the NCAA Tournament."

Regardless, Duke feels like it is peaking and momentum is on its side.

"I think we are going to get into the championship game," Black said. "If we don't win, I don't think that it's going to kill our momentum. We're a confident team, so we'd be able to bounce back."

One year later, Duke motivated by win over Cavaliers By ALLISON CREEKMORE

A year ago this weekend, the women's basketball team stood in the face of history and seemingly insurmountable odds.

The Virginia women's basketball team had finished the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season with an unblemished 16-0 record. The Cavaliers were ranked No. 6 in the nation when time for the ACC Tournament rolled around. Virginia brought a 24-3 record into Winthrop Coliseum in Rock Hill, S.C.

The Blue Devils had never advanced past the semifinals of the league tournament. In fact, since the inception of the tournament in 1978, Duke has won its first-round game only twice.

A 40-20 halftime deficit made the situation seem even worse. The Blue Devils seemed destined to fall to the hands of the all-powerful Virginia.

But Duke focused itself during halftime and engineered what had to be one of the most dramatic comebacks in ACC Tournament history. Point guard Kira Orr launched a 25-footer at the buzzer to tie the game at the end of regulation, taking the Cavs into

overtime. As if that wasn't enough, Orr swished a 15-footer as the buzzer sounded at the end of overtime to give the Blue Devils an 83-82 upset victory over Virginia.

"I thought Virginia was absolutely phenomenal [against Duke in the first half last year]," Georgia Tech head coach Agnus Beranto said. "I've never seen a more beautiful half of basketball. Then [Virginia] came out and lost the game."

Duke conquered those seemingly insurmountable odds in the second half against UVa, and established itself as a force to be contended with both in the ACC and in the nation. Despite a 25-point loss in the tournament final to North Carolina, the Blue Devils broke open a league that could have previously been dubbed as Virginia and the eight dwarfs.

"Last year, for example, Virginia was obviously the favorite," Clemson head coach Jim Davis said. "Duke came out of nowhere, and North Carolina wound up winning the tournament."

Numerous records fell in Rock Hill during last season's tournament. With a first-round win over

Clemson, Duke stopped a late-season slide and then likely clinched only its second-ever NCAA bid.

The conference race which ensued this season has been highly competitive—even Virginia picked up three losses during the course ofthe season. The major difference this year is that there are no overwhelming favorites.

Since the ACC Tournament is again being held in Rock Hill, the players are sure to be reminded of last year's success in Winthrop Coliseum. Yet this year's Blue Devils have made some history of their own in 1995-96. Their current 23-5 record has already eclipsed last year's school-record 22 wins. Duke finished in second place in the regular-season standings, its highest ever finish. The 12 conference wins which achieved that feat also mark a school record.

But the Blue Devils intend to break some additional school records this year.

"It would be nice to win it all [this weekend]," Orr said. "We went last year [to the championship] and fell short so we're really hungry this year."

Strong recruiting rebuilds program • GOESTENKORS from page 2 think of how far a recruit could help take the program.

"The first time I met with Kira, this office was bare, just a wooden floor and cement," Goestenkors recalled. "We started off by sitting in here and I said, 'You have to picture this. This is going to be my office. There's going to be a nice coach here. I'm going to have a desk. It's going to be beautiful.' Then we went to the locker room. 'It's going to have a big screen TV with oak lockers.' We had none of that.

"Now you have to picture us playing against Virginia and there are people in the stands, and we beat Virginia... Now picture that we are in the Final Four

"I know I need to win a national championship."

Head coach Gail Goestenkors

of the NCAA Tournament. How does it feel? If you can't picture it, don't come here, because that's what I see and that's what I believe and I'm not going to recruit somebody who doesn't believe the same thing that I do."

Orr said the main reason she signed with Duke was that there was something different about the Blue Devils. When the coaching staff visited Orr, it honestly assessed the situation and where it hoped Duke would be in the next few years.

Goestenkors' message attracted five players in her first recruiting class. Four of them—Orr, Tyish Hall, Windsor Coggeshall and Shaeeta Brown—remain at Duke and have all played integral roles in Duke's rebuilding process. She acknowledged it took a lot of courage for that first class to come aboard.

They come in and they are young, enthusiastic

and completely prepared," Orr said of the visit Goestenkors and assistant coach Gail Valley made to Orr's Maryland home. "When you sit down and think about it, you think, 'I think they can get this thing going. They know what they are talking about.'"

With that first recruiting class, Duke improved to 16-11 overall, 7-9 in the ACC. While many ofthe upperclassmen were satisfied with the 16 wins, the freshmen were stunned—they had never won that few games in season. A power struggle ensued, with the current leadership being satisfied and the new blood ofthe program wanting to do more. Goestenkors said the transition was tough both on the players and on herself. But it symbolized a program that was evolving into a top-25 team.

Last year, she again hit the recruiting trail with full force, except now the message to a recruit was, Tou can get us into the top 15.' The message worked, as Goestenkors signed six players, including two Parade All-Americans in Hilary Howard and Payton Black. This past year, when Duke signed four players in November, the message was, 'You can get us over the top, to get to the elite level.'

Every day when she enters her office, Goestenkors views the two crystal balls for the two national championships the men's team has captured. She is hoping soon to be able to add one of her own to Duke's collection. That dream seemed farfetched years ago, but now is closer than ever to reality. It's a dream Goestenkors always has had in the back of her head since she began coaching.

"I know I need to win a national championship," Goestenkors said. "It's not something I want to do, but something I need to do. But I want to do it the right way, not at the expense of anyone. That means building a program, and that your players learn—not just about basketball, but academically. They learn about life.

"That means as much to me as a national championship. And I believe you can have both."

FSU downs Ga. Tech in play-in • TOURNEY from page 2 surprised observers by contending for the league lead early in the season, but fell back to Earth and completed the regular season with a .500 winning percentage—a vast dropoff from the national championship run it enjoyed two seasons ago. However, youthful leaders like all-ACC sophomore Tracy Reid and conference freshman of the year Chanel Wright give UNC backers reason for optimism.

"We've got to do it here or next Monday we'll start getting ready for next year," North Carolina head coach Sylvia Hatchell said. "I'm not ready for the season to be over. I really like this team, and I do feel like we've knocked on the door and scared the life out ofa lot of people this year, but we just haven't been able to finish things off.

"If we can get that mentality to finish things off, then we could go in there and have a great weekend and get us a bid."

The teams seeded sixth through eighth, while underdogs, could all realistically lay waste to their highly-rated first-round opponents. No. 6 seed Maryland (13-13, 7-9) has won five of its last seven, including upsets of Duke and Clemson, while seventh-seeded Wake Forest (13-13, 6-10) recently won at N.C. State and No. 9 seed Florida State (8-19, 2-14) beat a hot Georgia Tech club in Thursday night's tournament play-in game. As a result, which teams will remain alive after Friday is anyone's guess.

"It's wide open," Davis said. "I think that, in all honesty, there's going to be a lot of upsets."
